Must Be Real..YeahOne sleepless Friday, I was busy studying and reading some photocopied stuff for MP10 when my cellphone beeped.
I was happy. I mean, it was almost 1:30 am. Whoever that fellow insomniac is, it's happy to know that he/she remembered me. At a very ungodly hour.
To my dismay, it was just my horoscope which came a little later due to some unknown reasons. Baka na-traffic. haha
Anyway, I was about to delete it right away bacause I don't believe on those stuff(the reason I got daily horoscope is that my cousin accidentally subscribed me to that thing)but somehow, the horoscope seems too true that I read it twice. It said:
"Maybe it's time to get a grip and open yourself up to new people and new relationships. You should never be stucked with things not worth giving a second chance. Give it a shot and see for yourself."I sighed. Yep. Right. For the past few days, I've been really bitter deep inside. I just hide the sour feelings when I'm at school and when in front of my friends so that they don't have to worry about me. But when I went home from school, I find myself slumped on one corner and wishing I COULD DO SOMETHING.
But maybe, THIS wasn't worth fighting for. I mean, maybe I wasn't meant to have a happy ending now. Yeah. That's it.
So, Farewell, Old-mushy-undying-love.
Hello, WORLD!!!
V for VictoryI was actually busy fixing my clothes when I realized that I have stopped.
Why?
My eyes were suddenly glued on the silver screen watching a Mexican hunk and a Pinoy man attack each other inside the boxing ring.
During the 11th round the Mexican hunk gave up with a broken nose while the Pinoy was crying then, smiling, then crying and smiling then frantically waving his hand on air..
Yep, Pacquiao won!!
And though I loathe watching boxing (and wrestling)match, I've got to admit that I was hooked on that much-awaited Morales-Pacquiao fight.
I couldn't help but smile when the Pinoy man, a fellow Filipino dominated not just the ring, but the world as well.
Updates!Okay. I knew it. I really admit it. I’m a shameful blogger. I’m on way to the make it to the list of Top 15 Pathetic Blogger ever walked the face of the Internet. Sheesh.
Since the week ago, I’ve been working like nonstop. Honest. Papers and projects were thrown to us like they were rain showers while some professors decided to bombard us with several 100-item exams. Being the workaholic (School-oholic, I guess.) and an insomniac I am, I’ve been up most of the night than drift down to Slumber Land to finish stuff a little bit earlier. At the back of my mind, I keep asking myself where did all those energy come from? I mean considering my frailness and body size, I might have snap out a long time ago. Had I swallow a Motolite without realizing it? I kept thinking about it but then I got tired.
Things got pretty loose this week. Some of my exams were already done and several assigned papers have already been submitted. My to-do tasks have been reduced to three major things: 1.) the festival reporting (regions 6-8) 2. Application to UP Writer’s Club 3. Documentary. Actually, these are fine. The only thing that kept on hassling me is the documentary. I have to admit it’s stressful. Well, I guess I have to swallow some Motolite again. Only this time, consciously. So I could keep track on my intakes.
But you know what? Though sometimes being drowned with school work actually makes my head throb in an unexplainable way, there is an urge of excitement and joy in my heart whenever I see my planner fully loaded with tasks. Kind of weird
but true.
And before I start to mull over this weirdness of mine, let me update you with what happened to me for the past few weeks. Kahit boring. haha.
*
Friday, Jan.13, I had an incredibly big date with Anna and Rayka. It so happened that our hip professor, Ma’am Ortiz didn’t go to class that day. So while waiting for our next classes, we decided to pig-out in a pizza parlor in Philcoa.
*Last Saturday, I went to the scary and really red “Bahay na Pula” to look for the person we’re going to interview on the 21th. After that I have my braces finally fixed and adjusted. And my oh my, what do you expect? Inability to eat food unless they’re noodles or mashed potato + the pain of the new brackets against my lips = torturing pain.
*This Monday, after school I went jogging with Ate Mara, Ate Queenie and Ate Pam at Ateneo. We were panting from 7:00- 8:30. I wasn’t supposed to be coming with them because I was planning to work on my fiction assignment but I couldn’t resist their invitation. I feel like being hypnotized. Tuesday, after my PE, line dance, I went straight to the university film institute to watch some documentaries by The Probe. It was unusually dark inside the room and really chilly. There were three documentaries. One about migrating, a girl named Julia who sings like she’s from heaven and a tribute to Ninoy Aquino’s death. Then when that's over, the Great Ms. Cheche Lazaro appeared from nowhere and guess what? I was starstrucked. Really.
Gosh, she's so great! It's really amazing to see her talk and give advices to young journalists like me. Hay.
"The Youth is the hope of our Motherland"-she kept saying this line, and yeah, she's right. Definitely right.
I was checking out some blogs when I spotted a very interesting post. The blogger listed all the significant things that highlighted her 2005. I found it cool and cute. So,though it's a bit late for this, let me share the events, wackiness, memories, people and the "everything under the sun" stuff that rocked my 2005 with you.
