This was definitely my wildest xmas break ever. For reasons that I refuse to disclose. Perhaps another lifetime.
And coming will be the wildest 7 weeks of my life. This will be my last semester studying things that I am not interested in. In 7 weeks, freedom from pain, obscurity, futility. In 7 weeks, hello new stage of life. Though I may still be within the safety of my University, in 7 weeks, it will all look different. Here are some of the things I have to pre occupy myself with:

Sana wala ng dumagdag. :D Pero kung meron man, kaya yan. I'm pretty sure, kahit si Superman, na stress.
One final poem:
Superman On his Bed
And the world weighs on my shoulders.
The burden increases as rest approaches.
My arms grow weary, My legs give way.
The wind seems to bring about punches
and sunlight strangles me everyday
A gift of strength I have.
Fortunate is me.
Yet somehow, this talent is cursed.
This curse forever bound on me.
But still, my hope is as strong as my fighting will.
Will there be a time when my pain will be gone?
Certainly, my heart believes it so!
So I continue to walk, run and fly
Resisting the temptation of Death.
Shunning the possibility of that convenience.
I smile.
I try not to cry.
Soar away?
It's time to rest.
Hopefully, my dreams will help fade away these
apprehensions and fears.
