The Learning Never Stops

Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.
- Anonymous

This might have been my motto years ago. Then, I was uptight. A semi-perfectionist. Serious. Determined. Hardworking. I strive for excellence in whatever I do. And, I guess I have achieved only a quarter of what I was desiring for. There lived a slacker in me, but it was hibernating. For the past years though, it was activated and is on the loose. Tonight, the logical me surfaces beneath my skin. 


Seems like I'm having a bad case of Benjamin Button's disease, only the anti-ageing is not physical; it's pertaining to I'm-young-and-I-want-to-have-a-carefree-and-happy-lifestyle attitude. 

However, today sparked my learning felicity. Yes, I am into technical learning once again. I kind of missed school, but that doesn't mean that I want to have a Masteral Degree. Well, that's the case right now. Maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow. 

See, I have signed up with MIT's free electronic course months ago. The course, which aims to "shatter barriers to education", is a project known as MITx. Whoever finishes the course successfully will have a certificate from MIT! How cool is that?! This is the part where the sun shines on the earth. On the blacker side lies me doing nothing for the past eight weeks. The Midterm Exam is already up, and I am not even halfway through Week One yet. I should finish it by the end of this month. Can I even do it? I wish. I pray. =)

Next up, my work. I kind of enjoyed my work today minus the distractions. I have seen a light in my path again. And I haven't felt like that in a long while. And I am doing some extra project aside from my major project, so I have variations. Multitasking is bliss. I like ticking off lists, remember? 

Still have something with regards to learning. In my Life List, I have mentioned finishing the online courses that I have enrolled in. I am pursuing my passions through online learning and hopefully, I can get online certificates for those course from Alison. They have lots of free courses! Among those, I have enrolled myself in Social Media Marketing, Web Business Development and Marketing and English Language and Literature. I've started with the program almost a year ago, and sadly, I haven't finished a single course yet. They have lots of other free courses like Adobe Photoshop, Personal Development & Soft Skills, IT Skills and more. You might want some of their free courses, too!

Never stop learning. There are just so many things to do; it makes my heart swell. I guess that is a good sign that I am living indeed and that I do appreciate and enjoy God's creations. I'll make sure to use my learning all for His glory. 

When wisdom enters into your heart and knowledge itself becomes pleasant to your very soul, thinking ability itself will keep guard over you, discernment itself will safeguard you,
- Proverbs 2:10, 11

Tonight, I thirst for knowledge as I thirst for His love. ♥

The Magic of Falling in Love with A Reader

Image
So, I was torn between doing my critical article review for my Economics class, working online and blogging earlier. School assignment triumphed, blogging won the second place. Side hustling is for later. Congralute me, loves? Tumblr photo credit But before that, this sneaky article entitled,  Why Readers, Scientifically, Are The Best People To Fall In Love With caught my attention and while reading, I can't help but feel kilig for my boyfriend because he got a reader as a girlfriend. Haha. See, I like reading. I love reading way back in elementary. Dad got me a basket-full of books when he goes home (from working over the sea). The only thing that I have regretted is reading Sweet Valley Kids because it has poisoned my mind in finding true love and first kisses when I was just ten or eleven freaking years old. When I have kids, love story books should be out of their shelves. Real novels only, soon-to-be-babies. I am not claiming that I am this notorious r

In Case of Housemate Disputes, Smile

Happy isn't really a word to describe my day today. Today is like one of those bad hair days, made heavier by bitter longings and ended by irritating conversations. Back then, having a bad day in school is tolerable since I know total peace and quiet is waiting for me when I go home. My home scenario: Play with my dogs. Hug my mom. And eat a home-cooked dinner. Now that I am older and working, I have nothing to pour my days’ negativities on to but the internet. I am lucky if everything is smooth-sailing in the apartment. However, apartment life with fellow young professionals isn’t glam. It isn’t about house parties and beer anymore. You saw unwashed dishes on the sink this morning. You have gone home from work, yet they’re still there. Tomorrow morning, those unclean utensils are the first ones to greet you good morning while you brush your teeth. Nevertheless, smile. It’s a Saturday and your sleeping hours are extended. Finally, a 12-hour sleep, but, knock knock. Oh,

Weekly Wishes { Week 4 | May 2014 }

I am such a sucker for lists and goals that my brain does the forward trick, making me think of soooo many things at one time, making my body dead tired to do anything. Lol. Or maybe that is just my slacker excuse for being such a lazy ass. Now, I am going to tell you all about my failed goal tracker systems.  FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 1 - Wordpress Daily Tracker Blog Anyway, I did a temporary blog on my goals. I called it, "How Did The Dame Do Today?" . I was only active for three months there. Hah. I had a following though. Wordpress can really get you readers. Makes me think of migrating my personal blog in there. But again, I am toooo lazy to do it and I am quite afraid I might lose some posts. It's an abandoned blog now. Oh, well. FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 2 - Monthly Goals Last month , I started this monthly goals. Complete with typography if I may say. It went well for... a day? Yeah, just with the goal-setting part. What a shame. The poster
