a pause from a busy sched

It is finals week next week, the reason for the flood of papers we were asked to do. I know I'm not the only one being maloka-loka trying to catch up with deadlines and that's consolation enough for me. I should be feeling excited about the coming semestral break but for some reason I can't feel any. Maybe because I am too busy cramming and trying to work my way up from the pile of schoolworks and other worries.

I realized that we are now in the 2nd -ber month of the year and is about 80 something days away from Christmas. I'm afraid I won't be wrapping gifts this year for my beloveds. Just like US having a financial crisis going on, I also am experiencing that. I do not want to ask any more than my very understanding family is giving me, because by the time the second semester comes, they would be paying much much more inevitable school expenses for me than they already are. $

It is the 2nd of October today and I almost forgot that it's my late favorite grandfather's birthday. And I realized that I had already stopped praying for him for so long already. What kind of apo does that make me now? Sorry, I am really forgetting a lot of things lately.

I got distracted just now by the featured article in Yahoo. It is about calculating your destiny number. Mine is 8, if my math still works. Amazing that 8 is actually my favorite number. It says that I am:

money-oriented. assured. authoritative.

Am I?

Then more from the Numerology ekek:

Destiny Number 8: A destiny number of 8 opens the door for you to strive for accomplishment and success in your work and life. Setting goals and working diligently toward them will reward you with many gains including authority, personal recognition and financial success. It is important that you do not set financial gain as your only goal in your endeavors in life, although you will likely find that with hard work that will be one of your rewards. Work instead for the sense of accomplishment of a job well done and for the simple love of doing what you do and happiness and success will likely follow.

Okay, good, but don't you have anything to say about my love life?!
