Mid-life Crisis

I am a Leo. I dream of grandeur and luxury. I love wealthy things. I love beauty...and I am scared of failure. When I was a child, I have always thought that I am destined for greatness. I will go places, succeed in life and be one of the richest people on Earth. It's not that I am greedy or what. It's just that I love to think of myself as someone who will leave a mark in this world. I am scared to die with a very few people noticing that I existed. I am scared of just passing and leaving.

Immortality Discovered?

So I was backreading in my tumblr account and came  across this post about scientists finally discovering the first (and perhaps the only) animal that can outdo death. Say hello to the turritopsis nutricula,  a specie of jellyfish native to the Carribean Waters. It is the only animal that is said to have discovered "the fountain of youth". It can turn back the hands of time and undergo the same life cycle over and over again. Below is an illustration of its life cycle. Isn't...

Last April, after five long years worth of struggling, sleepless nights, stress, confusion and procrastination, I was finally able to get a bachelor's degree from the premier university of the Philippines, University of the Philippines-Diliman. Climbing the stage with my father and hearing Professor Naval calling out my name and the honors I received (I'm Cum Laude, baby!),I was really in cloud nine...but that is for another entry so I'll leave it at that. :) I was planning my long-awaited vacation...
