hasta la vista, julio; bienvenido augusto
And I must say that July ended with a bang. Sam, Joey, and I finally went to Zirkoh, a place we've been dying to go to for months. It's a comedy club of sorts, a place where the mainstays sing and crack hilarious jokes althroughout the night. Dead air was a non-occurrence. Their stock of witty repertoire never seemed to run out of steam, and their voices were so unbelievable that it's not surprising that most of its mainstays have reached heights in singing competitions. He who has reached the highest point so far is Michael Cruz, the guy we went to Zirkoh for, but unfortunately he was the only one not present there. (Must be depressed for not being safe in Star in a Million.) Still, we had fun, what with all the sexiness, naughtiness, and bitchiness going on inside the club.
With that said, let me put down in writing my resolutions for this month I call my favorite. These will be brief, but enough to keep me going.
It's been said in the previous post: Less time on the virtual, more time on the real. I plan to concentrate my efforts on trying to regain what has been lost during the first two months of classes, and to be aware of what is to come in the next four months or so. In other words, academics come first. Ben and I have devised an ingenious academic strategy, and hopefully it works.
Finally, never sacrifice anything if there is no need to sacrifice. Never sacrifice food for money; never ignore academics for a social life; never neglect someone for someone else. Moderation of everything is key; a balanced mindset will carry me through the rest of the semester.
I hope that these two resolutions will stick in my head as this month moves along. Life is too short. If I can't achieve these now, when will I ever?
