rewiring my circuits

later comes the year ahead.

why can't i procrastinate time, and tell it, "come back later, when i'm up to doing stuff. i feel like lazing around today, so don't come today, okay?"

sooner comes the year.

gawd. can't believe it's already near! i'm also turning another year older this 2007 (of an age i won't admit, of course). my older cousins joked that you'll know you're getting older when you receive lesser and lesser presents at reunions every year, from loads of plastic bags to one bag to an armful to a handful.

my batchmates are graduating, and i'm still left stuck in school. so many wonderful semesters ahead.

i don't want the year to some yet. it's like death. i'm not yet ready. so many things i still want to do in 2006 but so little time! i'm cramming my end of the year, because i lazed through 2006.

okay, maybe not lazed through. but still.

so here i introduce myself (which i probably should have done a long time ago). i'm a researcher. i look into the meanings and makings of people and society. haha. i want to know what you know, what you think, what you can and can't do, and what you feel about the things around you. basically that sums it up.

i want to learn about you.

i have done a mighty fine job of breezing through research papers without really realizing the worth it has for me, for the treasure of knowledge i could gain. hopefully i won't be like that again this year.

i want to connect with people through what they know, what they think, and what they feel. i want to know so i can better understand, and through my understanding i could make other people learn through my writings and papers.

wow, in a few short moments of introspection i'm finally enlightened on my raison d'etre. hahaha.

i am not much of a maker of resolutions, as i don't really try. also, this is not a resolution, but a new outlook in life. i'd like to publish here my papers, findings, analyses, or writings. i'm not letting go of the daytime musings i have, but hopefully i can share with you insights into humanity (with scientific/social scientific basis, of course!). and hopefully i won't bore you, as the research process can be a total bore if the final analysis and results have been presented. haha.

but now, since it's still not 2007, i'm back to regular programming, and off to finish homework before classes open next week.

coming soon: what really do kids think about boys in skirts?
