The Mind of the Melancholeric Man: Musings on Life and Ministry by Patrick Tan

Been listening to Gregorian Chant's Christmas Album. I am not a fan of Gregorian Chant group, but ecclectic accapellas in foreign languages (latin). I didn't like it when they covered modern pop songs such as 'Losing My Religion'.. it was so artificial and trying hard.
Today was a very productive day, even though I woke up time for lunch.. haha. I worked on some stuff from work. Went to the bank to get some money. I've been organizing my finance so I pay my bills and expenses first rather than later. Then went to Grand Central to purchase cellphone for my Sun cellular. I got a 2nd hand Nokia 1100, 'like new' as they say.. no box, no charger, no sim.. just the phone.
I was the last in my family to acquire a Sun cellular. My brother first and my parents second. Btw, fyi, Sun allows unlimited text and call to fellow Sun owners for a monthly competitive price.
My dad is the connoisseur in cellphone shopping, I am very impatient in going around stalls comparing and bargaining for the lowest price. Finally after an hour of going around, we finally got it. Sun sim is nowhere to be found in the mall.. all out of stock.
After that I went to Wendy's MCU to meet a client. Then went to Sangandaan market to my father's suggestion, that's where he got his Sun sim for a very low price.

I was almost robbed last night! On my way home, I was on the LRT station in Buendia, a couple motioned to me that my back pocket was torn open, with my wallet (and my white undies) visible. It was impossible that it was the thickness of my wallet (ahem, those aren't cash, but cards etc..) that broke my pants. I think it was when I rode the jeepney to the LRT station that my pants were torn open.. oh well, one good pants ruined. Thank God nothing very important was taken from me. It was more of embarassment than fear that came upon me after that incident, cause the tear is so obvious I have to walk awkwardly and cover my butt with the books that I was holding.
During my Stress and Conflict Management class, it was my time to share my thoughts. We are having the Wise Man game, a role play, where if I were to meet a very wise man in the mountains who know everything about me, what would the wise man say about me that I didn't know that I know.. confusing question, but something like that. I was already prepared since last year's class, but our class has 9 students in all taking turns to answer the question. I was among the last to speak. I was to share three things that about myself that I didn't know I know..
First, I realize that I have a fear for or unwillingness to change.
Second, I have a fear of or not fully developed in terms of intimacy.
Third, I am always concious of the impressions and opinions of other people about me.
Even though I am pro change and rally change to others. I somehow dread change. Dread in a sense of unwilling to or too lazy to receive changes. Many times change has occured in my life and I always didn't like it (refer to blog entry April 22, 2004, "Changes"). My motivation right now is always to ask myself, "What can I achieve or accomplish if I have no fear?" That motivates me to charter the unknown. And most of the time, there is green pasture on the other side of the wall.
What would I do, what can I achieve, if I have no fear?

Yesterday was my first day of class in 2005. I am very glad that I have finally returned to school. All those whining about feeling lazy and idle somehow was minimize when I stepped into ASCM again. It got my mind and body flowing. As usual as I was late for my first class, I woke up at 7AM with a miscommunication again with mother, I was supposed to be awaken at 6AM. Catch an LRT, no seat left, I was standing the whole trip to Makati.
