....and what in the world am I up to?

It's been a month. And there has been nothing from me.

"Where in the world were you yeesang? Did you join a political party?" No, no, no.


Having a writer's block? No.

Getting lazy? No.

Busy with a new girl friend? - I'd be killed by my wife by now, aaarrrrgh!!!!...

So what in the world have I been up to since the World Cup Finals? No excuses, I was BZ (*busy). BZ as a bee, much busier than I've ever been my whole life. It wasn't a big thing, really, but I was BZ. No BS (*bull-shitting).

I was nearing the end of my semester and I have committed to submit my research intent and prepare the PhD proposal for defence.

I have to be really prepared, in every sense of the word, to face 3~4 professors specialized in the field I intend to research on. They may want to critique my proposal ...urgh! that'll be daunting even for an old hand! Anyone can BS investigating officers, but to BS a PANEL of professors? That's not quite possible.

"Viva Voce" we call it, is giving me the nerves.

Many butterflies in my tummy,

a big fat pain in the neck,

a head full of what-ifs, and not forgetting......

a donkey on my back and stuff like that.... whatever you can think of to get adrenalins pumping - as if I didn't have enough during the World Cup!

I've done the first part, and now into my second part.

The third part will surely be unnerving. Don't worry, I'll be ready - otherwise I won't be here blogging.

Maybe in a day or two, I'll come back to earth with a few hee-hee-hee happy blogs. So you see I wasn't running away from ya, I was just taking a short break that has just ended.

Be good, and happy reading!  Always feel free to post your comments.
