Confessions.


Right now I am having the thrill ride of my life. There are so many things to do and this makes me want to procrastinate even more. I hate chemistry. I hate reading Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas views on politics. What does religion has to do with politics anyway? Religion and Politics are like oil and water. They have different density.Well as far as I'm concerned, politics is denser for some obvious reasons.

If you can taste heaven how would it taste? I think heaven tastes like fishballs dipped in spicy sauce. Probably it is as sweet as watching movie with the love of your life. It tastes like synchroton radiation and solar storm. It tastes like Faraday's cage. It tastes like Gaussian surface. It tastes like your sweat from laughing your ass out because you don't have a class in chemistry. It tastes like Gram-Schimdt process. Heaven tastes like your love's lips. Heaven tastes like physics problems being solved.

I thought of what will happen to my life maybe one or two years from now. Maybe I would look and smell like Mr. Relativity. But I am more concerned to the possibility of getting toxicated. You will not survive in Newton's jungle just because you love and appreciate climbing trees. You should know physics. Passion is not enough. It will never be enough. You should have the wit and talent. And guts to take physics courses by Dr. Sarmago. The possibility of me hating myself because I chose this field is probable though unlikely. You need to be a masochist if you want to learn physics. You should enjoy the pressure. Enjoy the pain of staying up late at night because of solving problems. Feel every motion of idea in your brain. For a while, I forgot that feeling . It was earlier when Dr. Sarmago gave us a rare six-items quiz that the excitement and fun came back. The secret ingredient is to simply enjoy it. Solve those problems as if you are eating ice cream. Solve those problems like you are drinking a cup of coffee in a cold dark night. Just have fun. You can see in our faces the joy of making ourselves suffer from solving problems that won't have anything to do with oil crisis. Those who took physics for the sole reason of getting a job should burn their ass to hell. If they want a job, they should go to ECE. The important thing is the end product. And the end for those who enjoy carrying this cross in their backs is fulfillment. Fulfillment is second to none. Money is just supplementary for us. The joy of doing this is priceless. You do physics because you love it and not because you want to earn something using it. These are all my opinions. But they are honest opinions.
