a good program gone bootless

before summer this year began, jeni and i has come up with a list of things we wanted to do. i’d like to brand the same as a "summer enhancement program" ( this is an example of a lot of crappy-fun stuff jeni and i do to cope with boredom). we wanted our program to be holistic so we made sure we adopt some kind of an exercise, good diet ( no, i never intended to starve myself.infact my diet consists of eating, eating, eating until i gain at least 20 pounds), regular introspection ( we wanted it to be meditation but you know, we realized that might be biting more than we can chew ), and good dozes of intellectual exercise ( i was under the impression that my growing stupidity and naivete can actually be remedied and i’d be a "ms. clever" after 2 months , hah! )

barely two weeks more and how did we progress so far? as in any activity i involve myself in, this one’s hardly successful. doing the exercise made us cultivate familiarity with the ateneo frogs than actually being in shape, our introspection were spent defending and justifying ourselves for having made bad decisions  ( small, medium, large  ones ), the mental exercise was aborted  after  only two debates  (  heck, we were intoxicating the kids with  our case constructions ! our "monggones",mine most especially is staggering that my conscience  stares  at me giving  a resounding " shame!shame!"  and goes on to say  " what?! a ms. clever after 2 months? you’re pulling my leg, honey!!!" ).

the only good thing about our summer enhacement program is reading nuri vittachi.  his article is a good compromise. when i should be "mattering  up " but i desperately want to read an entertainment magazine, he’s the way to go! so entertainingly witty that his jokes are good material for  substantiation of a case ( err…ellery apparently has a  different view on this… do i actually hear you say " shame!" el? )

so what has gone wrong with the program? i personally think it is okay…it is sustainable, however, the perpetual problem is the "political will" to carry on. How to achieve that is something i have no answer for. i’m a hopeful person though, so let’s see, maybe one of these days the answer  will dawn in me. when that happens, jeni and i will be successfully engineered by our "enhancement program".
