Hope Floats!
Patrick: Spongebob, I wish I was a starfish...
Spongebob: But, Patrick, YOU ARE a starfish!
Patrick: SEE! wishes do come true!
This is not the exact transcript of the said episode in Spongbob Square Pants but, its in the same context in that episode. But my point here is, with the naivete of Patrick and all his innocence unconsciously presents a bold message that we shouldn't lose hope at all--even with our simplest and most mundane dream or want.
Dreaming is free. But when reality sets in, when you act on your dream it tends to be expensive and complicated.

I just submiited my application for a Master's degree at University of the Phils Open University. I'm hoping that I would be considered for a slot--I'm gearing up for a Master in Development Communication.
The thought of going back to school this coming June gives me the highs. I feel like I'm in elementary school; all excited and happy about using my new notebooks, pens and pad paper for the first day of class!
Also, I asked one of my professors (my fave actually) to fill-in one of the recommendation forms and I was delighted that she had high praises and heartwarming comments and impressions about me during my undergraduate years with her. Do understand that this woman of high intellect greatly affected my perception and outlook in life, knowledge, and passion. She's none other than the great Merlie Alunan--one of the most poignant writers today.
Looking forward to it!
