living the UP dream

living the UP dream....

the last time i made a blog was, i think, i am still a fourth year student, waiting for my UPCAT result.

now? i am the same old boring me... with the new life i'm forced to live... the new scene, i'm force to see, i am now a certified "Iskolar ng Bayan".

i know, i sound proud but not really. in fact the moment i was at the steps of rizal hall, i felt least among the "Iskolars".

i used to be, as Sir Sedricke Lapuz said, a big fish in a small pond, now, i feel like the smallest fish in a huge ocean.

reality hit me, you can never always be the best for there will always be someone greater than you.

first day, I asked my blockmates what school are they from. Manila Science Highschool, PhiSci, La Salle, UST... i felt very small, i feel ashamed. Am i really an UPCAT qualifier? or I am in a dream? but as i am typing this blog, i think, i am still living in a dream.... a UP dream....

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
