father's day, etc.

another father's day has come and gone. dad and i went to mass today at 8:30am, one of those very few week ends that either he or mom or both of them are home.

i'm not thinking it's a bad thing. i understand why they have to go to the province on week ends. they have their projects for the rotary club, and the house they're building on the lot where my grandparents' house once stood and where i spent a lot of my childhood summers. i understand why they have to be there, because no one else can do what they do -- lead the club, promote the projects, watch over the construction. i've learned to spend week ends alone at home most of the time. well, not saturdays because now i have school on saturday afternoons. sundays are the lonely days.

i don't know what the point of this post is. maybe i just wanted to update my blog, considering that the last entry was written almost a month ago. i've been busy with work, adjusting to the new schedule (3pm-12midnight), and coming home to sleep.

and then there's school, which started for me two saturdays ago. i'm taking the last 2 core subjects on the curriculum, then i'm thinking of taking my electives and the last subject (business policy) over the next 2 terms. then i think of whether to pursue a second master's degree in public administration, or go for the thesis for my MBA and then go on to the DBA program. i still don't know what electives to take, because i can only go to school on saturdays and i have to consider what subjects are available.

or i'm thinking, go on LOA for a couple of terms from school, go to the states for a 3-week vacation, visit my siblings and their families, and then come back and enrol again. that depends on the budget, though. even with the A(H1N1) virus, travelling isn't cheap.

i have too many options to think about right now.

see. the title of the post has nothing to do with most of this entry. oh, well.
