Busy.Busy.Busy.

There are a lot of things keeping me busy these days…and I think they’re for the wrong reasons.

The (Wrong) Reasons:

1.ECES

    Not that I’m saying its wrong..I chose to be active (and busy) in the first place by applying and being accepted as an AVP. But its taking too much of my time. Recently, we had our annual recruitment week, and of course we had to set up the booth, call for members and stuff (hmm, come to think of it I only helped in the set-up twice, but I manned the membership!)..and now we’re going to have or General Assembly, where it is required for each committee to shoot a movie trailer (The theme for the GA is Hollywood Movies). The movie our VP chose was Pirates of the Carribean, and of course I can’t be Kira Nightly’s <SP> character…duuh..and I don’t want to dress up as a villain either. Such as hassle to bring costumes and stuff. Don’t get me wrong~! It takes up my time, but it is fun, fullfiling, at least I got my social network a bit expanded.

The picture was the freshman welcoming activity…we had to create a whole wall of waling-waling out of crepe paper.^^

    
 2. Green and White
    Talk about being costly and time-consuming. Well it was our fault for not fixing requirements earlier, but we didn’t just have the time to, with academics and laziness and all. There was really a hype about the yearbook. Everyone was running back and forth typing requirements in notepad, finding someone to write their write-ups, and TAKING PICTURES~! I used to be excited when people want to take pictures but if I encounter another person with a camera I might just bash their heads with it. I mean, EVERYBODY HAS GONE PICTURE CRAZY!!! People were asking us to make collages for their 3R pictures…well, I volunteered myself to these people, thinking that I’m up for the job. In the end I just got a bit disappointed because I realize that I really wasn’t that good in photoshop yet…and this certain someone is WAY BETTER than I am. Anyway, for those who don’t know what I look like, this was one of the pictures I submitted for the yearbook. And BTW, the yearbook costs 2,400, and the photo package I chose costs 1,100 smackeroos..that’s a lot of money.
 
 
3. Tambay
 
    I don’t really play DotA, but my friends do. And I like hanging out with them, so I end up watching them play DotA..until 9 pm. I’m supposed to be at home studying, doing assignments, reading up on thesis material and stuff, but no. Pinapanood ko silang magdota. If I’m not doing this, I’m with Char, Crissy and Noel disturbing them while their editing their thesis when I’m supposed to be doing mine. Or if not, I’m just haging out with them at the tambayan, sharing stories and jokes about lovelives, being gay, dotA, Accounting, anything…Imbes na gumagawa ng project…Galing no?
 
They’re not really wrong….but I think that I’m getting too distracted right now. I’m wasting precious time on stuff that is not really a priority. Now we’re even too ashamed to show my face to our thesis adviser because we’re being too idle when we’re supposed to be doing stuff for our thesis. Right now we haven’t even checked if our project is working because everybody is busy doing Green and White stuff and no one really had the initiative to do it, even me. Comparing myself today from myself last term,or last year, i’m really too DISTRACTED.
 
Said the guy from the Person Marketing seminar of the ECES Career Executive Series:
“Serious People only work with Serious People. If your friends aren’t serious, then you should start telling them to be one…”
 
I seriously NEED to focus. And I’m starting right now….not that I’m neglecting my duties in the Org or being KJ or anything, I just need to set my priorities straight, and have myself checked up figuratively and literally, kasi ang plema ko isang linggo na.
 
Okay, maybe not right now..And by the way, I love this picture (Salamat sa pic, Chi).
 

 Guys, gawa na tayo ng thesis. Kakahiya na kay Sir Emmgon.
