This is the Life!

Summer has really been a pivotal, life-changing time of my life. The word is: risk. Yes, taking risk. It's one of the lessons I should learn in life. Striking a good balance is a factor.

Tribute to My Blockmates

As I was scanning through their blogs, I've realized that these people are like the paper toy I used to play when I was in elementary (the one with 4 corners, then each corner represents one color, etc)...They have so much to offer! They are not 3D people, but very multi-dimensional! In school, they are projecting their simplest identities, but their highlights can be seen in the cyberspace...With this, I feel a tinge of inferiority because whenever I write something on my blog, it is the same and actual thing on my mind. Basically, I'm a WYSIWYG person. Somehow, I don't easily tell people how I really feel and think coz I have to test the waters first before diving into it, right? And that's the tough part. Telling others your ideas, feelings. It's a skill we need to continuously master.

See? This entry is not cohesive at all, and yet I wrote it.

hay! summer has come to an end. But it's still hot here in the fields. Anyway, yesterday, we had a PCY outing in Jogima. We're only 7 but fun parin.

Tomorrow, I'll be getting my summer remarks.Hope my grades are okay and alright. Also, we'll be shooting for SOM Cribs (ACTM is assigned to work with the LS and Marketing and Law Dept's) plus Phil and Euric in the scenes. Whew! Sana everything we'll be fine and okay. Dimple and the rest of AMA and I will be working also with Jill's brother twin, Justin (aka Jaqua) coz Jill has JTA classes at 1030. Sayang nga lang, coz Jan and the rest of my blockmates are going to the Mall of Asia tomorrow. They are asking me if I can come, but I refused kasi I have to work on with the SOM Night and other things concerning the ORSEM.

I checked the schedule for the first sem kc I feel that they're going to put modifications again. And I'm pretty right. Example, Jammu's sched is modified (at talagang tiningnan ko). He'll have classes on TTh, 12-130, 430-730. They even changed his room assignment. The first class will be at ctc, the 2 other classes will be at ss conf room. Hay! Stalker parin talaga ako (Wait, make that Investigator)...I won't stalk him the way I stalked him for the past few sems. I'm already a junior and everything should be treated professionally. I must practice professionalism and other corporate thoughts coz in 2 years time, I'll have to face the corporate world (Naks!)

I also told Arete and Dearl that I still have a crush on my past crush but this time, I want it casual. I don't want it to be cheesy and kilig. I think it's not healthy. Besides, we're friends and I'm happy about it. ;)

Summer Semester Starter

Left the dorm at around 6:50 in the morning, and this is April 20, 2006...The very first person I saw was Janka. Her classroom was at 205...
1ST CLASS: QMT 12- Business Statistics
TIME: 7:30-9
MODERATOR: Sir Richard Pilar
VENUE: CTC 202
STATUS: He was late for the class, but he was able to somehow get the attention of everyone. He seemed to be nice and understanding naman. We have 3 departmental exams (na sana not very hard like Accounting) and business paper (like LS 10 but without the defense)...I hope I will get better grades in this subject (the involvement of Math makes anything complicated for me)...He's OK.
2ND CLASS: HI 165-RIZAL AND THE EMERGENCE OF PHIL. NATION
TIME: 9-10:30
MODERATOR: SIR (BATHALA, DATU, GOBERNADOR-HENERAL, SUPREMO) NEVILLE JAY MANAOIS (French pronunciation: NAY-jil MAN-wa)
STATUS: The most conceited professor I have so far..Very obnoxious, presko, mayabang but he does these things all in the name of fun. He wants to make people laugh, and he never fails to do this. Pink lovers, he is not your professor!!! He hates pink. He makes fun of the History professors (including our very own Sir Dave) and asks his students, "maganda ba sya [pertaining to Ms. Coo and the other female teacher]? bagay ba kami?"...I think he has plans of courting them (or nagawa na nya?)...Anyway, his requirements are pretty light. He's OK.

para kay Dearl: Namimiss k na ni Sunshine...Magpakita ka raw sa kanya bago ka umalis...
ANI FIRST DAY
Haaaay! It was fine. The students were cooperative and game. I could see the potentials in them...

Reg ('rej) Letter Day

I was supposed to wake up at 5:15 in the morning, but I was too sleepy that’s why I woke up at 6:30. My goodness! My ETA for the registration was 7:30 and we were expected to be there 20 minutes before our ETA. Good thing I made the right choice of not eating my breakfast. Instead, I took a bath, prep up myself, and broooooom broooom, rush to the school. My first plan was to have my breakfast at Jollibee, but even that was not favored by time. Breakfast ala Carte was my breakfast style because I was eating my breakfast while walking (by the way, my breakfast was a bar of Hello and water from the drinking fountain in SOM). I changed my schedule to an earlier timeslot due to some feedbacks from friends. The reg was fine but to some people, especially people with random numbers of 1000++, they might find it irritating. On my way to Berch, Irene saw me and asked my schedule. Before going to B206, the two of us decided to go the washroom to have some retouch (coz the next step for me is the application for new ID. New ID means new picture and new signature!). I kept on exercising my mouth and jaws so that during the ID photoshoot, my smile is a smile, not a smirk. When we left the washroom (and I kept on doing the mouth exercise), we saw RR (and I’m 100% sure he saw me doing the jaw and mouth exercise). Nyek! I felt embarrassed because for sure, anyone who saw me in that kind of appearance would think I’m crazy (but I think RR understands and accepts my loka-loka attitude). To save my soul from the initial embarrassment, I greeted him.
Later that morning, I finally saw Arete! We made some chitchats and we even saw Smallboy and Shades and Spikes. Hehe. After lunch, the reg resumed and I went to the archives to check if it was open. Unfortunately, it was closed. Sayang. Anyway, I texted Arete that I would go to Kodak to have another photoshoot and go home as well.
THREESOME, AWESOME?!?
1. I went to Rustan’s to buy toothpaste. While I was in the counter, I saw Ms. Cox. She had injured her left toenail and she couldn’t walk properly. Lo and behold, she was with her boyfriend (I think). Hehehehe…Issue na’to!
RATING: Awesome!!! (kilig)
2. I went to Kodak to claim my 1x1 pictures. As I entered the shop, kaboooooom! I saw Jaju and his girlfriend (we all know who his girlfriend is, right?). Oww! It was the first time I heard him speak. He speaks Tagalog pala, I thought he’s an ultimate conyo boy. Hahaha.
RATING: OWW-some!!! (surprised)
3. To save some money, I decided to walk from Kodak to National. On my way to National, I saw Siopao with her guy blockmate (her partner in Traje). I was not able to make some eye contacts because people like her don’t deserve much of my attention.
RATING: Awesome-palan na! (sapak, gusto mo?joke lng!)

Jitters Glitters

Last night, I kept on thinking what would my grades be. I had a hard time sleeping. There were full of what if's and sana. This feeling had reached its pinnacle until I got my grades this morning. I texted Irene, Arete, Maja, Omi, and Carmel if they were already there. On my way to Sec C Foyer, I was doing some yoga breaths (inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale..exhale..exhale). I saw Irene, Don Luta, and Maja. Maja and I were already lining up, feeling all the jitters inside our systems...And the regcom person handed me my regform and grades. When I gazed upon my grades, T.G.I.A (Thank God It's Answered)...My prayers were answered. I was so happy. All the hard work, effort, the sleepless nights, the tears, etc paid off very well...Although I was 0.1 something away from the Dean's List, still, I felt so light. The agony had found its glory. Haaaaaay!
Aside from that, I felt so grateful for my daily and frequent texters (esp the Unlimitxt people--> Lizet, Maebu, Joa and others: Ben and Ayeen) for giving me support during my lowest pointsssssssss...
LENT ALA HS PARISH
The Lenten season in our parish was very nice and exciting. The activities allowed the reunion of the parokyanos and PCY members. Swear! The issues surrounding the org are becoming more serious than before. Grudges start to show, but they manage not to create any war through transforming it into a hilarious topic. There's this guy who levels up his being bisexual and takes chances on our ex-president and the Pensionado and the Reason...another issue is about the oldest member of the org who also takes chances on two of the girls...the wallpaper of the bisexual who is very scandalous to the eyes (don't worry, it's not something disgusting, it's just a proof of his bisexuality)...Pensionado, the Reason, Pogi ng Pitogo who backs out in the maglalatik dance (just when the group needed him most) and goes to practices just to make sipat to one of the prettiest faces of our org (isa nga lang ba talaga?)...and his ex-gf who also backed-out of the palayok dance hours before the presentation of the dance...hay naku! In all fairness, I really concentrated with that 3-palayok level head gear for the Palayok dance...The night of the presentation, I was so tensed because my other dancers were not yet there. We were supposed to meet at 9, because I still had to distribute the cone-shaped incense...Good thing they were able to make it before the "dead Christ" had arrived in the church.
I think the retreat on Friday can clear things up. It would be very difficult for the next president to deal with these issues and people if things will continue in this fashion...

Near yet so Far

I just found out that they changed the venue for the Ec 102 class of Sir Jammu, from CTC to Schmitt. This could minimize the possibility of seeing him around the campus because my class will be mostly CTC. Ang sad naman...I thought I could see him around without much effort, but I was wrong. I had a gut feeling that they will change his schedule, because last semester, they have done this (they change the venue and time for his class). So, how should I plan my class, now that it's nearly impossible to see him? I have to stick with my 9-1030 QMT12 class and 1030-12 HI165 class, so I'm off by 12, lunch time. 12-130 is his class, and it doesn't make my schedule sensible in relation to his schedule. I am planning not to show up on him in the first two days because I have to check out his route. If I cannot make our paths meet, it will definitely be a sad one for me. I just wish it will turn out to be favorable and interesting for me.
