Good bye cable

My cable finally got cut today. I've been waiting for it to happen for almost two months now since dad told me that he doesn't want to pay for cable anymore. I've been trying to enjoy my cable more and I've learned to really appreciate it. So now.... I am definitely going to miss all those shows that I love to watch. I declare... I AM A COUCH POTATO! Watching TV is one of my favorite pasttimes. Probably my most favorite since it's what I do most often. So I've decided to list down the things that I love about TV...

1. Cheap entertainment
- you can watch it for hours and hours and it will never stop going. And all you have to pay is a small monthly fee
2. VAriety
- I can not stand watching just one thing unless its in a moviehouse. I love that I can flip through channels while the commercials are playing in the other channels.
3. Multi-tasking
- I always watch the TV while I'm doing something else. I'm usually doing homework or studying or AIESEC work or anything like that.
4. CNN/BBC/ANC
- I am a fan of news channels. They're easy and quick access to the most current news. You won't get everything of course but at least you have some idea of what's going on. All you have to do is change the channel.
5. Entourage
- I've just started watching this show and I'm sad that I'm no longer going to watch it. And to think, Vince is already going to be AquaMan.
6. ETC
- My favorite channel with veronica mars, one tree hill, the OC, beauty and the geek
7. StarWorld
- Kevin Hill
8. AXN
-CSI NY, CSI Las Vegas, Numbers
9. HBO and Star Movies
- My movie channels
10. Disney
- When i feel like a kid... no more sing-along high school musical for me
11. Brain-relaxing entertainment
- it is an idiot box. I like being an idiot every once in a while. Well at least its enough to distract part of my brain.

Cable... you will be missed. :(

Preparedness

Delaying once again...
I'm supposed to be working on POM and theo this weekend but I haven't done anything yet. And I'm blogging.. Good job care!

*****************************************
I'm graduating next year. Finally I'm leaving the world of academia. Not for good because I still have a lot of plans for further studies - too many plans actually. Then what? Do I start working? Corporate? Be an AIESEC trainee? Continue with my AIESEC Career? At times I feel so prepared that my bloated ego would think that I could go out and conquer the world already. Now, I just feel so unprepared. I don't want to disappoint myself. Say what you want but I know I'm destined for great things. But what if I am not yet prepared? Preparedness does not necessarily mean academic preparedness. What about my work ethic? My own sanity? My emotional blah?

Is it so wrong to be so scared of having more responsibilities? Is this the wrong reaction? What's the right reaction?

(care speaking to care1 [yes, I would like to think I have multiple personalities]) there's nothing wrong with being scared. (care1 replying to care) I know but.. I just want it to stop and I feel guilty {stop! I'm freaking myself out}
