brain drain

had another interesting at starbucks today. shared my table with another unexceptionally smart person (the last interesting morning was with max). too bad i forgot his name (shows how stupid i can get sometimes). its so intriguing how people can get so knowledgeable about a lot of things, majority of which are stuff we often see as unimportant, but once "the smarts" talk about things like they're one of the most interesting topics in the world, you suddenly enter their world of dorkiness, wishing that someday you'll be like them. these people just have that certain aura i can never really explain exactly, that can get people intimidated by them and at the same time drawn to them.

a lot of my friends are graduating this march. major reality check kar! im happy for them that's for sure, but its gonna be hard for me to go to their grad parties, unable to feel the unexplainable happiness that they'll expectedly be feeling.

its been a long, long, long time since i honestly talked about this feeling of regret whenever i pass by ateneo. when i see myself wearing my MC uniform, i sometimes have to remind myself: 'you're smart.' and i am. i definitely am. leaving ateneo after almost three years their doesnt make me less of a person, nor can it already give other people the idea that i'm not as smart anymore. correct me if im wrong but i even think that im smarter than some of those ateneans who are at the moment ordering their togas.

uh. too much of the self-upliftment.
