TAO OF ALBA

I AM BACK IN SCHOOL

I'm exhausted.

I walked from one college to another looking for a thesis that does not really exist. I feel like I want to inflict pain on the professor who gave the assignment, now I really do not know if the goddamned literary art form ever existed.

Or maybe the thesis is really just hiding from me. Somehow, being stuck in the shelves and shelves of so many bound books, it gained life and developed an attitude.

When I was in Freshman year, we discussed Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid. We were given a chapter in the Iliad to transform into a musical, I actually played Helen of Troy. (Honestly, the standard of beauty has certainly gone down the drain).

Now that I'm a Grad student, taking up some undergrad subjects as pre-requisites to my Masters, I played Lysistrata in this morning's reading.

Who would have figured that I would traverse from a beauteous and meek damsel in distress to a charismatic feminist? From a babe trophy to the instigator of abstinence? My, my, my… How fittingly it describes my journey from the ultra-conservative university to the radical!

"There are things out there that I want to discover, that one day this will all make sense... I am searching for the meaning of this cosmic existence that we're in. And probably when I find the answer, I'll go and look for the anti-thesis."
5 THINGS

1. I sing in the University Chorale of the University of Asia & the Pacific, and we swept four gold medals in Greece for our very first International Competition. I got to do my two absolute favorite things: singing and traveling.
2. Although I am an Alto Two, my range widens up to Soprano One when I am drunk. Think Charlotte Church's Flower Duet. (I think it has something to do with swallowing the diaper pin when I was a baby). Dancing barefoot in debut parties may also be expected.
3. I work in an non-government organization focused on private sector development. It involves sleepless nights in the office and the constant worry of displeasing a former Secretary of Finance. My other two bosses are harmless.
4. I like my men in uniform. The Military has always been a fascination of mine even before when I was finishing a BA degree in Political Economy.
5. I no longer watch The Bold and the Beautiful much to the joy of friends and family.
