UTS: Business School

I made it into the Bachelor of Business at University of Technology, Sydney!

I'm so overwhelmingly happy! I have a strong foundation on what my future is going to look like.

Okay, now a huge ass essay on my feelings and prejudgments about this whole situation.

B of Business was my 2nd preference and I did not expect to get in. I expected my 3rd preference would be the course I'd have for the next 3 years. For this reason, I went to all the Macquarie open days, read their information leaflets, and spoke to them online to get a clear vision of my future. As you may know, Macquarie Uni is a 1.5 - 2hr travel time via public transport; in contrast, UTS is a mere 51minute - 1 hour travel. Even with this, I had already expected my fate to be with Macquarie. I even knew what electives I was going to take.

But surprisingly, when I saw this:

I was completely boggled, surprised and in deep shock that I made it into UTS!!!!!! It was 'skim reading' - technically - but I saw the main words and I whimpered to myself, "oh, my god..". I read it again in reassurance, and before you know I it, I sprang off my seat screaming like a maniac, fidgeting and jumping across the whole house. I was crazy! When my mum called my dad, I could barely talk to him from all the excitement. I bet the neighbours heard my "OH, MY GOD", "THANK YOU GOD", "UTS!!!!!!" (x 10000000). LOL.. this sounds wrong haha.

After all the doubts, the frustration, the lack of belief and faith, I cannot believe it has turned out right for me. I truly feel in my heart that this was God's blessing for 2012 for me - and even so that it may be His plan for me to do this. He gave me the opportunity to study in my favourite university, ever since year 9. It just feels far too positive to be wrong!

Taking on this new challenge for myself, I will do my absolute best to produce clean results. It's a 3 year course and the timetable is exceptionally spread out. I only have to go to uni 4 days, for approximately 3 hours, and generally within 10am-3pm with a break. I don't know what I want to major in yet, but I have a great feeling about this University course! :)

"Shit Spanish Girls Say"

As a student studying Spanish, I have a certain fascination on learning the Spanish Culture. Regardless of whether this depicts a true painting of it, it is such an entertaining video to watch!

Responses to "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus"

I found both of these interesting. Like, highly interesting.

That awkward moment when someone says they "Hate Religion, But Love Jesus"

This person claims he hates religion but loves Jesus. Upon my first watch, I was half-confused with what he believes, yet I understood the situation that religion has made flaws to contradict their beliefs.

Yes, I do agree with him on some points, how religion has divided us people. But he goes so deep into criticising religions that it overwhelmingly contradicts what he believes. There was a whole argument against this in which I would like to point out:

• There is more to God than having a relationship with Him or Jesus. Jesus came down as the Messiah not only to build a relationship with the people, but to create something that would continue His teachings even after He 'expires' from this earth; that would be the Church. After His death, a multiplicity of religions were built to follow Him, which branch off under the umbrella of Christianity.
• He claims that Jesus came to "abolish religion", but how can He abolish something He too created? Christianity, and the first Church known to man. Jesus specifically gave authority, before His coming death, to Peter (the gatekeeper of Heaven) -- “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matt 16:18). This is the moment in which Jesus created the first Church ever and anointed Peter to be the first Pope. The Pope holds the apostolic line in which each succession can be led back to Jesus Christ Himself. That is why the Catholic Church is the first and only Church to be founded by Jesus and thus He could not have abolished something He created
• "the Father gives the kingdom to the Son, and the Son gives the kingdom to the apostles. The gift is transferred from the Father to the Son to the apostles." (Luke 22:29) as Jesus made the passover to the apostles at the last supper, He said this to give them authority to continue the Church, entrusting His teachings to the apostles which were for the people, through the Church where He is at the core.
• A person on Facebook also pointed out "..Our man then clarifies — He loves the Bible. This is interesting. Did Christ hand out Bibles before he ascended into Heaven? No. The Bible is the product of a religion. A religion is called Catholicism"

It's true that religion has its flaws - but things from this earth are filled with flaws. If you believe in Jesus' teachings, then you would understand that God and Jesus are the only ones perfect. We are only human and although we try our best to follow what is good or to maintain the Church's holiness, we fail at times to fulfill the better. 

I am only pointing out a few things I have learned. Here is another one which would suffice entirely against some of this person's bigoted views: [ click here ]. It's hard to believe that people praise this video.
 

Chinese Hokkien Noodles

It seems to be a repetitive choice for me. This was taken at the local Stir Crazy store; I always order Chinese in any Asian style restaurant that offers it. My Asian taste buds are less exposed to the Asian cultural experience.

Note to self: spice up your options next time. :)

Boys in Uniform

[Photo by Carmel]
It's been a while since I've drawn, thus the body isn't well portioned  

I have a fond in boys dressed in proper uniform. They send me weak to my knees, and ultimately, I'm just a softy when it comes to it.

This picture is inspired by a group of boys I saw in Milsons Point when I was having my almuerzo at a local food-court. Although it's their daily attire, I couldn't help but notice how neat and fashionable they appeared. My (boy) friends commented saying it looks "weird wearing shorts". But I think that's it! The blazer, v-neck jumper, leather shoes, and unbelievably combed hair do co-operate with each other well, aesthetically; yet, the knee length shorts and high end socks are the pinnacle of the attire in my opinion. It's what sets the image of a high-class school boy in immediate perfection.

I may perhaps be in thorough detail with the whole uniform appearance, but I did set aside a long moment to admire something like this, which is scarce to find in the part of Sydney that I live. In my area, pants reach the end of their bottom, ties are always loose, and jumpers are far bigger than needed. I don't want to complain, but honestly, where have these cleanly dressed gentlemen gone to? It says so much about their personal grooming.

Cross between Catholicism and Love.

A beautiful piece of song that incorporates Catholic traits onto a song about Love and dedication for a person.

Deleted Tumblr

It's a bittersweet ending. R.I.P 2010-2012

I've built up a -well, in my opinion- great reputation on the site. With a lot of followers admiring the same things I do, I felt a sense of "belonging" to this network. It can mark my senior years spent in Senior High; all the immature posts I reblogged and made truly mold a apart of who I was and what brought joy into my life (at the time).

I've let go because I can no longer hold on to those things. Nothing is meant to last forever. I've changed  throughout the couple of years and I need another medium that can suffice and adhere to my change/s.

It's a farewell Tumblr, my senior years partner; and hello to Blogger, my new university years partner.

Me.

It's physically and mentally impossible for me to conjure a post that epitomises everything about, of, and to do with me.

Fortunately, this blog is another way to get your information about me in a periodical manner.

I'm generally a person that posts a lot about my life on the internet. Some are quirky, random or trivial things that boast about my daily life; however, others are deeper thoughts that even expressing them on other mediums will others fail to understand or empathise. Suppose this is a place for those disposed thoughts. But don't misinterpret my reason/s - I will also post other fascinating things of myself. 

Ciao!
