Past the Silver Deadline

I made an agreement with myself that I will live no longer than twenny five years. I do not want to grow old as I do not want to bore myself to death.

Funny that I have done so many outrageous things for my health to fail and yet I'm still around, wasting the world's supply of oxygen. Since it does not seem like I am going anywhere soon, I thought perhaps there must be something I am meant to do, a second chance to get my life together notwithstanding the crises I have successfully denied getting into.

You see, I am seriously considering applying for law school. It has to be UP Law or I don't go at all. First off, my dad has to agree that this is a good thing for me. I have already received thumbs up from my mom, close friends, my siblings, and the street vendor from whom I bought a mint gum.

It doesn't scare me at all, the thought of going to law school and eventually becoming a lawyer. Juris Doctors is the degree offered in UP Law. I mean, what are the chances that I will actually pass the LAE, right? I have gone on grace since I can remember and never in my life have my own merits gotten me somewhere. If I were to rely on my brains (which functions are bordering on questionable already), I will be found wading in the proverbial kangkungan. So it's not really up to me and so I have nothing to worry about. Grace. Grace. Grace.

That sounds like a plan. And finally after ten years of marking the deadline, I am actually pretty excited about missing and living past the silver mark. Hurray for me, I guess. :)

Lipat Bahay

Thinking of a new blog name brings me back to memories from high school (the part where I was not home schooled) when I had to decide on a column name for our school newspaper. I could be mistaken but I think I called it The X Files then. Maybe I didn't. I couldn't really remember much from those days. Heee.

I'm thinking of moving to wordpress since my livejournal is practically inactive and well, my multiply blog might as well be dead for not getting any visits.

Here's what I'm playing around with:
1. thexarischronicles
2. brightlightsandthexaris
3. xarisinwonderland
4. noyoumaynot
5. xarismeansgrace

pero sana may Biblical something din. Help me pick a name please.
