Officially Summer

Yep. It is summer.
Can't believe it. Time surely flies so fast that you end up not noticing it.

I'm finally home. In Bulacan.
But it's not bakasyon-grande yet because I still got exams and paper-editing to do.
But after those stuff, I'm officially refusing to do any school work or advance studying until May to have a WONDERFUL SUMMER .
(Please, Lord, Help me keep this promise.)

*This Summer, I will/must:
1. Sleep like I'm hibernating or something
(makabawi man lang sa isang taon kong pagpupuyat)
2. Eat and gain weight
3. Do some crunches (for fab abs) and some arm exercise (para may kaunti namang muscle)
4. Cleam my room-BIG TIME
5. Swim, swim and swim.
6. Do my "Ate Vi Scrapbook"
7. Babysit.
8. Travel. Yep. That must really be done.
9. Write more fiction
10. Learn to cook
11. Spend some time with friends and have FUN.

*In May:
Take:
-writing workshops (poetry sana)
-piano lessons (hopefully)
-one spiritual seminar


Yeah, I'm pretty serious when I said I'm going to have a summer full of blast.

I thought it was over

Yep. I really thought the semester's over and I was heading to this one word I'm really excited about: Vacation.

But gosh, I was soo wrong.
I am not complaining. You know how I love school and I'm actually obsessed with school work, it's just that.. I'm sort of tired. Right now.

I can still remember last week. I wasn't able to take the exams in Natsci2 because I can't even go to school. For the first time in my entire life, I give up studying and choose sleep instead.

thank you, Jesus for the make-up exam that I think worked.

Everyone was so worried beacuse I looked drained. That's scary.
And now! It felt like deja vu. I've got loads of things to do before I'm officially FREE.

There's that blog thing in MP10 not to mention the folio I need to edit, the finals in ENG1, The major paper in History and some reaction papers and of course, finals in KAS1 (the coverage is the whole book plus numerous readings), some papers in my Anthropology class and more fiction.

I think I need to swallow atleast two pieces of Motolite.

Goodluck to me.
And please, pray for my health too.

Happy Birthday, Maia!!!
(cheers!!!)

Hmmp. It's not really fair. We are both in first year college but look at you, it's just your 17th birthday. I mean, why? Now I feel like your "ate." Eeck.

Just kidding.
You know I can always be an "ate" to you. Swear.

I was actually in a state of intense panic because some of my projects look impossible. I am really busy but still, I can't let this day pass without greeting one of the good souls I met in UP.

Maia, it's been quite awhile since we've become friends. I never really thought we'll hit off together because the moment I first looked at you, I thought you are soo shy . but I was so wrong. You're easy to typecast, yes. But once people get to know the REAL Maia, they'll be astonished to find out you're absurd and insane. In a cute way. Haha.

I'm so glad you became my friend.
Thank you for everything. I hope you could feel how appreciative I am for the gift of friendship you gave me and the rest of the cool gang. You are one wonderful girl and I hope you know jow special you are to us.

So to MAIA,
the girl who is so darn good in making other people feel better when they're actually rotting,
the girl who had her heart broken but deserves a prince, actually,
the girl who can crack up a good joke without really trying hard,
the girl who is nuts for anime and all those wide-eyed girls in plaid mini skirts,
the girl who always say I'm writing good though I feel that my works are of major crappy,
the girl who'll willingly do all sorts of weird things with me anytime,
the girl who can brought out the best in other people (kahit wala man),
the girl who'll always have a special part in my heart,

Happy Birthday.
Live life to the fullest. love life. Love yourself and God.

Love you, dear.
Rock on.

The Best Org ever

UP Journalism Club, you really know how to rock.
Though I must admit that I nearly broke down from all those sorts of things "The Cool Crowd"--Vienna, Dano, Ate glends and Ate Ieth and moi, of course, did, i'll say it again. UPJC Rocks.

Salamat, salamat sa lahat ng members ng UPJC.
I swear, you guys made me a lot stronger.
You thought me so much and I can't imagine UP life without being in your Fantabulous fantastic and fabulous) organization.

Sa "The Cool Crowd", I fell in love with all the love and friendship we gave to each other. I'm glad na kayo ang batchmates ko.
I'll never forget that pageant thing and of course the one act that has the word "gross" all over it.

*Sa mga wala pang org dyan, UPJC na.
and have the time of your life. I promise

Salute to All Women

Happy Women's Day!!

I attended a program entitled "The UP Women, on various roles, on various endeavors" and WOW! I was really amazed to see that indeed, today's women are becoming stronger and braver.
One speaker-professor actually said:
"Gone are the days when men dominated the world."

Yep, that is so true.
So, girls, lets all roar: I'M PROUD TO BE A WOMAN!!!

*To all the women I know and to those I still don't know,
*To the many women behind my success and failure,
My Grandma, my Mom, Tita's, SOLID SIX, the cool gang(minus Alvin and Brin), Teacher Mila, my favorite professor(yung naka-dangling earrings), my UP female teachers and of course, Ate Vi,
*To the mother of my loving creator, Mother Mary
*To myself,

SALUTE to all of us.
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY.
Let us continue to rock on.

Of Changes and Peculiar Feelings

I have always been afraid of change. Especially major ones.
But sometimes, changes have to happen.
Sometimes to change is the only way to get out.

Now that the school year is about to end, I tried looking back on the year that has been. Yep, my first year in college was a total blast. Not only I was in a school way cooler than any other schools, I met a lot of cool people that made my college life more fun. However, I can't deny the times wherein I knew I have done things that weren't so perfect. And now, for some reasons, I feel awful. Regretful.

I guess, now is the right time to let changes come into my life.
It wouldn't be easy though. But sometimes, change is good.

This don't mean that I'm going to change physically.
Chop my hair or get a tattoo.
I am not running away. Neither going away.
I'll still be me.
Just revolutionized.

Yep, I'm actually over with the postponed trip.
Finally.

Shattered Dreams and Broken Baguio


Baguio must have been furious with me. I asked it to wait for me but then,
I broke my promise. I didn't show up.
Yes, The Baguio trip was cancelled. Darn.

Our professor has no choice but to do so because of the impending coup.
In case you're wondering why, today is the EDSA commemoration. There were thousands of rallyists preparing to hold a big program to oust Gloria. And because the situation became literally difficult to handle, the president declared the nation in a state of emergency.
This proclamation 1017 enables the warrantless arrest of police officials to rallyists and their leaders. To the rallyist, this is a total insult to our human rights.

From 7 am, I was actually focused on the television because the events are so intense. There were cops everywhere, Professor Randy David was on TV and UP students are sought by the police. Chaos was really about to start. By 11 o'clock, I received the most bitter text: The trip was cancelled.

Gosh, everyone was actually looking forward on having to spend the entire weekend in Baguio. Everyone of us is excited to chill out and have the time of our lives.
But then, it turned ugly.

I don't blame anyone. I mean, I can't.
What happened is not anyone's fault.
But guess what, I hate the thought-We have a rotten government. Really.

Let's join hands in praying that may peace and unity reign.
May the Lord guide our president so wahtever she'll do will be according to the Lord.
Dear Lord, heal our land.
