Wish List

I know I currently dwell in my comfort zone. And this is something that terribly bothers me. I guess everyone knows what happens when we are in our comfort zone. It means stagnation, no growth, boredom, a point where life ceases to exist.

For four years now, I feel I betrayed myself, forcing it to settle in a zone I know I won’t be happy. It has good effects and reasons though. I am not having much problem of what to eat next day or how I am going to survive. But does this comfort mean something to me?

Somehow it means something but it is not enough to answer the doubts of my existence, it is not enough to quench my thirst for fulfillment.

I am somewhat happy but what I am now is not enough to satisfy my reason of existence. I am human after-all, did a lot of bad decisions and diverted my track from the straight word-line laid out eversince I was gradeschool.

I know I learned a lot in this comfort zone. And I am blessed enough when we talk about blessings. But deep within me I long for something that I abandoned long time ago. Also I know I have been writing about this over and over again. This is not for your benefits, as my selfish self would argue. This is entirely for my own sake. I need to remind myself that I still have hope. Things can still be corrected or if not corrected can be brought into new dimension.

What can I do? Well, maybe by starting with this wish list I can spark something new in my life, a little light that will forever illuminate my future.

Future Workplace:

Let’s start with UPD-NIP (of course):


NIP Building Model


NIP Research Wing

I guess I need to re-enter the academia before I can continue with the rest of my wish list. All of us need to start somewhere and for me this should be the right start for me.
Next in the list are the following:

Perimeter Institute, Canada

People in this institute are busy weaving the mathematical fabric of the universe.







I like the architecture, so algebraic. Is it commanded by group theory?


Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics

The myriad possibilities of physical equations are happening here.

Main Building


ICTP Campus Map

European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)

The birthplace of the web (worldwideweb).


CERN


Or I could also work in these institutions.

At least, someday, I can visit these institutions, if I can't really work in any of these.

Asian Development Bank – PH

I am not sure if math and physics are heavily utilized here. Everytime I see this building I am very compelled to work here.



Asian Development Bank, Mandaluyong City, Philippines


In my list, I also include some centers or institutes for Complex Systems or Homeokinetics, NASA, as well as United Nations.
I am dreaming. :D

Aside from that I have also my list of things to do, things I wish to do.

Mathematics: Category Theory






Isomorphism


Physics: Complex System (Homeokinetics)

Physics: Quantum Physics, Field Theory and Particle Physics

Others: I want also to be a space explorer or interplanetary ambassador, I am very sure we will need a job like this in the future.


Space Ambassadors

I am really dreaming. Wake up, Kent!
