what on earth am i here for?
Sunday, September 25, 2005
i've just been pondering on what the lord really has in store for me, for my future. at the same time i was contemplating (in the bathroom of all places) on the fact that He gave me so much 'talent' and opportunities to learn many different things of different fields and with that i feel so privileged, but a bit confused too honestly. what i am really destined to do?
the purpose of what follows is not for me to brag about my credentials but just to share most of my significant realizations and theories for this day. i just hope you can bear with it.
throughout the almost first two decades of my life, i have been blessed with good grades, an acceptable singing voice and dancing ability, i have learned how to play the piano and guitar, have performed in front of a large audience, tried stage acting, and have led several organizations (religious, academic and those for leisure). each school year, i realized, was never complete without numerous extra curricular activities.
but god didn't stop at that.
i got to a college where teachers are not restricted, and where learning is much on an uncensored basis. i majored in chemistry and took up extra biology courses (the chem part i still don't know what for yet, but the bio is supposedly for med school). i'm proud to know much about the chemicals on my shampoo, medicine and my meals, and how my body functions, even at the cellular level. i also have learned a lot about society, philosophy, history and art.
i also have a serious knack for web design, video-editing, writing and directing that my mom once considered me getting a film and audio-visual communication degree.
and now at work i'm training for computer programming, which was what i originally wanted to do but don't know anything much about yet. it's not out of my league, just out of the box built for me in college.
i may be a jack of all trades, but i am a master of none... yet. i'm still searching for that something that would complete the puzzle. the main reason for my existence.
so, these are few of the guesses i have on what i am really going to be in the future, based on what i have been equipped with so far:
- a rock star, like in my daydreams
- one of the future housemates in pinoy big brother
- the biochemist who discovers the cure for AIDS
- a neurosurgeon
- a religious or political leader
- a best-selling writer
- an award-winning film writer/director
- a kick-ass software engineer/developer for maxis or microsoft or both.
some of these (okay, most of it) might be a little far-fetched (okay, greatly not just a little), but hey, nothing is impossible. just like according to inxs' new lead singer JD Fortune:
"Remember to always believe in yourself my friends. If anyone calls you a dreamer remind them that the building they work in came from a dreamer, the car they're driving came from a dreamer. The computer they love, the cell phone they use, movies and music they escape in - all came from dreamers."
