"Music can name the unnameable and communicate the uncommunicable."

Ok, ignore the previous post about not posting for a long time. I have just found something that really touched me. If you have the time, it's really worth it to check this: The Composer.

A beautiful Flash, just simply beautiful. I have seen many good Flash movies before, but this one just suddenly tugged my emotional strings. Wonderful movie, and top scores to the creator.

To watch, click the link and click "Watch this Movie!" at the website. Enjoy!

"Never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy. "

This might be the first and only post in a long time. Exams are coming up and I've got my hands full at the moment. I just thought I'd want to rant it here to release stress and clear this aching head.

Life has been half good, half bad. Although I've been rather happy the past few weeks, school seems determined to put me down to dust. I've scored the worst mark in my entire history of INTI-UC in my accounts midterm. Also, JPA (for the uninitiated, that's the Public Services Department which funds my scholarship) says that although I'm a social science major, I'm unallowed to take up economics as a major. Double-kill.

However, sometimes two wrongs do make up a right, it seems. I've been doubting my choice in economics for a while now, especially since last semester when both microeconomics and statistics gave me headaches. What really drove the nail in the proverbial coffin was this semester's accounts, a truly vexing subject that has taken a great toll on me. It's not the lecturer's fault though, as Miss Kiran is a good lecturer, but it's rather my rusting brain that is unable to comprehend the easiest of debits and credits.

Let's see, accounts and statistics, two difficult subjects that are crucial for success in economics. If I can't master them, I'll be facing hell the next few years.

Therefore, considering the two blows I've faced, namely the economics no-no and the poor accounts midterm, I believe God might be telling me to change to another major, more suited to my skills (like I have any). Recently I've been thinking of a plan B, that is, Mass Communication. I'll look into it, and with luck, it might just be the right choice.
