Superman and Utopia

Well, the year did start well for me though commitments kept rushing in and I have to focus on them one by one. I have to manage things well and I really feel the need to have a couple of rest right at this very moment.

Le Vogue '09. Our section is busy preparing for a fashion show and festival dance contest for one of our subject, International/Intercultural Communication. Time and efforts have to be made and creativity is in demand right now. Of course, the goal is to win.

Thesis. We are very eager to accomplish every chapter of our thesis. It gives us the feeling that we are near the finish line of this studying stuff. Sleepovers, meetings, consultations, research, trip to the libraries, and more. It is also satisfying to know that our group is leading to the right path (as of this time). Funny to realize years ago, we were just busy coloring pictures on our books and now, we are studying how universities promote culture and arts. Good luck u22!



Major Production. It's January and as expected, I'm back to Teatro Komunikado. And as a welcome, I was assigned to be the Production Manager of this year's major play production. I haven't started anything yet so I have to work as soon as possible.

This is my life for January. Trying to fit these things in, not mentioning the death-defying requirements and exams for every subject. I know this will all bring new experiences to me as I start living this new year.

Now, for myself. Accomplishing all of these would mean so much. I know I am Superman. Multitasking is my hobby. Doing what seems to be incredible is my passion and I was raised that way (really? haha). But I know there are limits to what I can do.

There is no real Superman. Everybody wishes to be Superman but it is just a part of every human's utopic dream. There are things which you wish you could do effortlessly without squeezing your heart and brain out. There are things that you kept on trying to do but eventually, you'll realize that you are facing the Great Wall of China. Really impossible to get over with. You're really tired of being just an ordinary being so you wish to be a unique one. You want to do things right away but you know it would take you so much time and every second is causing you so much burden. All you can do is to withstand all the pressure and everything that comes with it.

But, being Superman does not equate to being a perfect person. It is a mere metaphor to what every individual wishes for themselves.
