Happy and not.

I still can't get over this.

Badtrip ako at masaya at the same time.

Bakit?
Let's start with the happy thought.

Happy because I got to hang out with my high school barkada again! We were together for almost like the whole day it was really fun! I last saw AJ during our high school batch reunion last July; Niki and Francel, 2 months ago; and Jhem, well, we study in the same school but I rarely see her but still at least, I see her. Lol. I last saw her on the first week of third term. Anyway, I can always see her if I want to. But not really hang out and talk a lot.

We ate at Teriyaki Boy for lunch which is around quarter to 2pm. Yeah. Haha. I'm kind of getting used to strolling around the mall alone, I have always done that since I got to college. And I wasn't really really familiar around TriNoMa so I kind of got lost. Haha. I forgot where National Bookstore was! And they said they'll just meet me there. And as usual, I was late for like an hour, which I hate. You know, I hate being late because for almost like my whole life, I've been always late. And I know how it feels like to be waiting, ALOT.

Then after, we bought movie tickets to P.S. I love you. Then we went to have a studio picture! Hahaha. Hindi halata na di kami mahilig magpicture at magpose. We're not vain people. :)) We have to wait for 20 or 30 minutes to have the picture developed so we decided to have coffee. Starbucks was full, as usual. So we went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf instead.

There, we reminisced about high school. Browsed old pictures and some videos we had. Gosh, good times! We were all laughing so hard! We talked about college, where our batchmates went, what courses they are taking up, crushes, relationships, college friends, what have we been up to, our courses, and other stuff. And our day together isn't complete pag hindi kami nanlalait ng tao. LOL. So mean, right? But that's how we are. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like that though. It's just that when I'm with them, I can't help it because I gotta admit, sometimes oftentimes, I agree with them. LOL. And syempre, hindi nawawala ang chikahan. Ang aking mga kaibigan ay napaka-updated sa mga bagay-bagay.

It's those moments that I would always want to treasure. I suggested that every month, we should get together. And they all agreed. Of course who wouldn't right? Hehe. Just for catching up and hanging out. It's priceless.

Then we went to get our picture. Hehe. It's so cute! :))

So malapit na kami umuwi and I texted my mom na magpapasundo na ko. But AJ asked us to accompany her to her house because she's not used to commuting alone. Now that she and her bf broke up, wala nang magddrive sakanya. Haha. E sakto, malapit na kami sa bahay ni AJ, andun na sila Mommy nag-aantay sa binabaan ko nung hinatid nila ako. SHET. I swear, never akong kinabahan ng ganun kanina. I don't know why. I was so worried. So my mom called me again and asked me where I was and her voice sounded like she was pissed off. Even my brother shouted at me on the phone while he was driving. Sucks. I was so worried that I'll get caught. Pero diba, wala naman akong ginagawang masama. Hinatid lang namin si AJ. Only that, hindi ako nakapagpaalam. Kaya siguro I was worried.

Francel: I feel you, Cha. Ganyan din ako nun.
Francel: Pero Cha bakit ganun? Diba nung high school lagi kang pinapayagan? Tapos ngayong college parang mahigpit sayo?
Nikita: Ako rin e, kung kelan nag-18 ako saka naging mahigpit.
Cha: Ewan ko nga e. Hindi pa ako kinabahan ng ganito dati. Siguro kasi, hindi nila alam kaya ganun. *******! Shet. *panicking*

I'm glad they all helped me. I was so worried na magsabay yung taxi at sasakyan namin. Thank God, hindi.

Badtrip lang ako kasi pag ako, kaya kong maghintay ng dalawang oras para sa kanila. Kahit umalis na lahat ng tao sa paligid ko, at nadaanan na ako ng 1000+ na sasakyan at mga tao, ayos lang kahit magmukha akong tanga na walang ginagawa at kausap. Pag sila, nagagalit sila kahit mga 30 minutes lang ang pagkalate ko. Hindi ko naman siguro pwedeng ipagcompare talaga kasi mas bata ako kesa sa kanila dba?

Masama lang talaga loob ko pag ganun. Late ka lang, kahit sinasabi nila ng pabiro alam mong may something dun sa sinasabi nila.

Ako pag nalalate ako at sila ang dahilan, hindi ko naman sila masisi. Pag late ako dahil matagal ako, nagagalit sila. Malabo di ba? Bakit ang unfair?

Alam kong mali ipagcompare kasi sobrang iba sila sakin. Pero pag sila iniintindi ko, sana ganun din sila sa akin. Kahit alam kong mas swerte ako compared sa iba dahil hindi nila ako sinisigawan at sinasaktan physically, minsan nasasaktan nila ako emotionally. Kahit little ways lang, pero sensitibo akong tao e, may mga bagay na sobrang naaapektuhan ako kahit maliit lang na bagay.

Yun lang talaga. Madali akong umintindi. Pero sana ganun din sila sakin. Sana kahit papano sa unfair na takbo ng buhay, kahit konti naman maging fair sila. Sobrang masama lang talaga ang loob ko pag ganun. Lagi na kasing nangyayari eh.

Ang nakapagtataka pa, bakit nung high school hindi sila masyadong mahigpit when in fact, dapat dun ka mas mahigpit dba? Pero ngayong college, parang mas mahigpit at nagmamadali sila.

I mean, I can take care of myself. They just won't let me. I can do things by myself. They just won't let me. And worse, I feel that they don't believe in what I can do. I can do whatever I want to do with all limitations. They just won't let me, with or without limitations. I feel like I am being so babied. Is it because I am the only girl? I am turning 17, gosh! I will be legal the next year! It makes me feel bad that they're somehow depriving me of feeling the complete real world. They have brought me up really well and I know that I know what is wrong from what is right. They have to let me make mistakes and so I will let them enter my world. I don't know why it is hard for them to let me go. I don't know why it is that I feel they don't want me to grow up yet.

It's not something they say to me directly, but that's how I feel. I don't want to be treated so much as a princess because I'm not. I don't want to get used to that because I know I can do things but because they won't allow me, I feel that I can't do it. Gets?

I always say to my brother that time flies by fast. And he always reply, "Bakit ka ba nagmamadali?" The thing is, I'm not. It's just the way the reality and life goes. It is fast-paced and you can't let yourself be left out. You have to move on. Kasi pag napag-iwanan ka nang sobra, mahirap na mag-keep up. Ewan ko, minsan ganun eh. Pero hindi ko naman sinasabi na dapat nagmamadali ka. I'm not. It's just that you can't let life pass you by without you living it. Right?

Haay, basta. Masama pa rin ang loob ko kahit sobrang babaw niyan. Pero, ako 'to eh.

Fast and the furious again.

Oh myyyy gosh! Our internet connection speed is almost like back to the way it was before! Mabilis na siya ulitttt! Oh yeah. Thanks to my brother. I don't know how he did it but he kind of got into the canopy of other users. Hahaha. It's illegal I think, but our connection since December or late November of last year really suckkkkked! I mean big time! LOL. So what can we do? What should he do, dba? Haha. I asked my blockmates who uses the same connection as ours but their connection has no problem at all. I don't know what happened to ours. So thankfully, ayos na siya. Yeyyy! :D

So wala lang. I just want to share my.. err.. happiness? LOL. :))

Marami akong ipo-post at ikekwento dapat e kaya lang tinatamad ako. Pag libre ang oras, pwede na. :D

LSS: With You by Chris Brown

Is it you?

No I'm not referring to someone. I just love this song. It seems like it wrote what I am looking for.

I'm looking for a lover not a friend
Somebody who can be there when I need someone to talk to
I'm looking for someone who won't pretend
Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about you

And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows the way
The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Wants to share, shows he cares
Thinking your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me? (Could you be?)
Could you be the one I need?

I'm looking for someone to share my pain (Uh)
Someone who I can run to, who would stay with me when it rains
Someone who I can cry with trough the night
Someone who I can trust who's heart is right
And I'm looking for someone

And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows the way
The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Want to share, shows he cares
Thinking your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Take for grant
How much I care (How much I care)
And appreciates that I'm there
Someone who listens
And someone I can call who isn't afraid of thought to share

-Is it you by Cassie

I also love Whatever it takes by Lifehouse.

[not the whole song]

She said if we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see
She said like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me

I know you deserve much better
Remember the time I told you the way that I felt
And that I'd be lost without you and never find myself
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together
Whatever it takes

*sigh*
I'll keep waiting for that someone.
But I have come to make this as my New Year's Resolution: No time for love.
Hahaha. Would you believe? Oh yeah.
At least for now.

Anyway, it's not bad to think of your dream person or the one for you, right? :D
Masaya naman maging single. And I am a proud NBSB¹ kasi medyo konti na lang kami. Nyahaha. At least walang sakit sa ulo. Mga walanghiya. Haha.

But still, I'm a sucker for romantic comedies, love stories and Koreanovelas. My all-time favorite movies are A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Sassy Girl, and If Only. These movies never fail to make me cry no matter how many times I watch it. She's the Man never fails to make me laugh really hard and make me feel err, kilig. Hahaha. And Channing Tatum is hot! Damnit. Hahaha. In Koreanovelas, I love Full House, Princess Hours, Spring Waltz, My Girl and The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince. May mga marerecommend pa ba kayong mga ganyang klase na movies at koreanovelas? :))

¹ No boyfriend since birth. ;p

First day and loved ones.

So yeah, classes already started! We're now on our 3rd term and it's my first time being deblocked. I miss my block, DV6. I have different blockmates in every subject now but I have blockmates in one subject that are also my blockmates in other subjects. And even if I have 4 of my friends with me, still it's different when you really know the people in your class. It's like I'm starting college all over again. I guess I had a hard time letting go of my high school years. The first two terms are just like extension of my high school days. I got scared at first but in the long run, I got used to it. And it seems like it's hard to let go all over again. It's hard to adjust and accept change. But it's just the way it is. Maybe like what I felt then, got scared and in the long run, get used to this deblocking thing. My brother said being deblocked is nicer because you get to meet a lot of people. But I'm not that friendly! Lol. Maybe I am, but I'm a shy person. Haha. :p Anyway, damnit this kind of seemed dramatic! Hahaha. It's not supposed to be, okay? Haha.

Anyway, my first day was okay. I have P.E., which is Dance, as my first subject. It's okay. I just hope we reach the Modern Dance part which is hiphop or street dance. Nyahaha. I really really really miss dancing! Anyway, we have folk dances first. Grrr. T_T I thought I was done with that back in elementart with all the field demo thing. Hahaha. The next is ballroom which is okay too 'cause I got to dance waltz and swing back in high school for the prom. And my mom taught me cha-cha before 'cause I remember back then she was a ballroom dancer. Haha. We were dismissed earlier than our time so we spent our time in the study area. We found some of our DV6 blockmates there. We hanged out and it was really fun. Super laugh trip! We were really loud! I hope there's one subject that our classmates are mostly DV6 but I guess that's not going to happen for me or for us. T_T Although it happened to our other DV6 blockmates because there's this one subject that almost half of the class are DV6. Aghh. Super saya nila! I miss them. But anyway, it's okay. There's a next time! :p

Then we went to our Reconse class. I like this class. We had an activity about getting to know our blockmates by passing paper around and ah basta! Yun na yun. Haha. The class looks fun. After, we had our break. We were supposed to eat at Mcdo but there were a lot of people so we went to KFC instead. My 2 HS batchmates/3rd term classmates went with us and most of us are DV6. My blockmates know them especially my Harry-Potter-looking classmate. Haha. But I haven't introduced the other one to them except dun sa dalawa din naming kasama sa subjects.

After eating, Kevin(Harry Potter, lol), Camae and I went to the dorm of our batchmates just at the back of our school. I missed them! Especially Jhem! Super laugh trip din! I'm looking forward to another reunion this year. And most of my batchmates are turning 18 this year so most probably I'm going to see them often. :D

Then after we went to our COMSK2x class which I found boring because I was getting really sleepy. But the weird thing was my heartbeat was really fast even before the class started and I thought I was just tensed but it continued until the class ended. I don't know why. I don't get nervous with things like those. Kinakabahan lang ako pag may mangyayari na hindi ko alam or what. Basta, mahirap i-explain. Basta may feeling lang ako sa mga bagay bagay. Haha. So after that class, Business Math was next, in the same classroom. I like the class too. I don't know why but maybe because of the prof and the people. Then my brother texted me and said that I go out once our class ends because he's already outside waiting. Ang aga! Haha.

My brother and I were having fun while on the way to the office but I kind of slept a bit when we were near the office already. Tapos tinanong ni mommy si kuya kung anong oras niya susunduin si Ate Therese, girlfriend niya. Then she said that we should go home right after my bro picks Ate Therese from their office because she's going to say something to my dad because she can't say it to him on the phone. She can't have the courage to tell it to him on the phone. And my bro and I were like, "ano yun?"

See, my uncle, my dad's brother was in the hospital since ermm, I don't know when. Maybe December last year. He's not in good condition. He had a heart attack or something. And things were fine as New Year started because from what I know, he was brought back home or hmm, I'm not really sure. Pero alam ko naging okay naman kasi bumalik ng Davao yung pinsan ko na anak niya at wife ng pinsan ko. Then my uncle was brought back to the hospital and ayun, bumalik agad ulit sila. So they were all there. Yesterday, when we went to church for the Sunday mass, I even prayed for them. But I guess this was really going to happen and all of them there were already ready of what may happen because the doctor already said that my uncle isn't in good shape. So... my uncle passed away kaninang hapon. When my mom said that our uncle passed away, me and my bro were like, "ano?!" It's kind of shocking, sad and kind of hard to accept. Grabe. Then I asked my mom, "anong oras?" She said, "Sinabi sakin kaninang mga 3:30 pero siguro nangyari yun earlier." Then it made me think, sobrang kinakabahan ako ng walang rason since 2:30 until our class ended ng 3:30. I was like, "grabe." May times kasi na kinakabahan lang ako pag may mangyayari talaga na unexpected or di ko gusto or what.

The last time I saw him was when we went to Cotabato last September I think. We even stayed at their house. Just like what happened to my aunt. She died last year and before that, I last saw her when we went to General Santos and even stayed at their house. Lahat sila may mga last times ako with them tapos recent pa. Just even before they pass away. Even when my grandmother in my mother's side passed away, I didn't expect her to go that year, 2006. They even stayed here in Manila for how many months then as summer came, they went back to Cotabato para ayusin yung mga things para sa wedding ng uncle ko, the youngest in their family. She was even there in my first JS Prom. And just like that, bam! She passed away even before my uncle got married. It was sad really. People in our clan passed away for 3 consecutive years. 2006. 2007. 2008. T_T Sana lang hindi siya masundan agad next year. T_T

Blast from the past: 2007.

88 THINGS I DID ON 2007. Beware, this is uber long. :)

1. January 7, 2007: ACET Results was released online. I wasn’t accepted. One dream school down.
2. January 13, 2007 Saturday: We made our Economics project. Why is this extraordinary? Well, we went to my high school crush’s¹ house and interviewed his dad for our project. He went with us to go to their office then my barkada-slash-groupmates insisted that he will be the one to drive my ka-barkada’s car. Then, I was the last one to get into the car then the next thing I know, they were all sitted at the back. I had no choice but to sit in the front passenger seat. GREAT. LOL. Then my ka-barkada who is his neighbor asked him to go with us to Starbucks, Convergy’s. But this time, I sitted at the back. Nakakahiya na kasi yun, grabe! Natatandaan siguro talaga ako nun by face. HAHAHA. Walanghiya. Anyway, I still remember, we ordered a Grande Caramel Frappucino. LOL.
3. January 17, 2007: Had our National Career Assessment Exam.
4. January 22, 2007: UPCAT Results were released. This was a super sad day for me. Two dream schools down.
5. January 26, 2007: USTET Results were released. I passed but was on Academic Placement. So I needed to go to the UST-OFAD on March 3 for the printout of the list of courses I qualified for.
6. February 2, 2007: Teacher’s Day organized by the Student Council. I made the certificates to be given to the teachers. Yey!
7. February 6-12, 2007: Swing practice for Prom. Haha. I miss this. I miss dancing! Lol. What I love about dance practices is that we get to be excused for our classes. Nyahaha.
8. February 9, 2007: Student Council assistance for Mathrix, a math quiz bee organized by our school. This was really a great experience! I swear!
9. February 10, 2007: Student Council assistance for MTAP. This was a great experience too! Alala ko merong cute guy from Philadelphia High School dun e, senior high din. Hahaha. We were at our mini-theater and I was operating the laptop and I said to the one watching over their team, “Ui, cute yung nasa kanan.” HAHAHA. Then she said, “Onga eh, kaya kanina pa ako nakatingin sakaniya e. At least may rason ako. Hahaha.”
10. February 14, 2007: Valentine’s Day booths organized by the Student Council. This was fun but at the same time hard. I was assigned at the main registration booth and grabe super gulo ng mga tao especially the first and second years! Haha.
11. February 19, 2007: Two things happened this day. First, we had our JS Prom at Shangrila Edsa. Second, the DLS-CSB Entrance Exam results were released. And I passed. Masaya akong nakapasa ako nun pero alam ko kasi na hindi ako ditto mag-aaral so malungkot din.
12. February 26, 2007: Had my Talumpati for our Filipino subject.
13. February 28, 2007: We performed our Filipino play(El Filibusterismo), ny last high school play. Lol.
14. March 1 and 2, 2007: School Foundation day. This was the worst foundation day ever! We spell it, B-O-R-I-N-G. There were no rides, no tiangges, no programs at all! Grrrr.
15. March 3, 2007: I went to UST-OFAD for the printout of list of courses I qualified for. Since I didn't pass my talent test, I was on Academic Placement. So instead they gave me a 4-page list of the courses I got in to. I was happy though because I was qualified to be in Architecture, Engineering, Biology, Math, Physics, Pharmacy, Commerce, and the list goes on. So pag pumili ako dun, wait-listed na ako. Anyway, I never thought I could be qualified with those courses but what the hell? That's way too near my preferred course which is Fine Arts. GREAT. I chose Commerce and Information Technology because I had no choice but to choose. Nge, haha.
16. March 8, 2007: We performed our music project. Not sure about the date though. Anyway, each group composed a song, preferably a graduation song for us to sing on our Graduation day, and then our music teacher will pick one song from the 3 sections. Too bad our song wasn’t picked but our grad song was picked from our section and that’s enough for me. ;)
17. March 17, 2007: This started it all. I realized and I knew I had to choose. I got in to two colleges. Not my dream colleges but at least, I got in. I had a choice where to go. One was nearer from where we live and is a university but I didn’t get in to my course choices and the second was way too far from where we live, tuition is expensive, runs on a trimester basis but the one where my heart really is. I was already thinking so hard what to choose. I never thought how I managed to think about that after gazillions of school work I had to do.

Anyway, this date was the deadline for Academic Placement slips for UST. I was thinking so hard what I will choose as instead of Fine Arts and Communication Arts because I knew they really wanted me to go to UST. So yeah, I chose I.T. and Commerce. I want to share what was written on my planner that day: There are choices ahead which could change your life. Unfortunately, there aren’t any crystal balls to provide the answers, telling you where to go or what to do. But it is true that centuries of wisdom have never improved on this advice: Listen to your heart. I have a choice. But I am afraid. Does the heart ever go wrong? I know, it’s so much drama. But hey, it’s me. Mas maganda na yung pag-isipan ng mabuti kesa sa sumalang sa kolehiyo at kumuha ng mga kursong hindi mo gusto at hindi ka sigurado, di ba?

18. March 19, 2007: This was the very day I told my brother, “Kuya, gusto ko sa Benilde. *laughs*” I was supposed to just say it jokingly. Basta, to just say it. But what the hell man, I broke down. I cried really really hard. I guess this was the first time I cried on my brother about some serious things. He said, “Sandali lang, tatawagin ko si Kuya Junjun.” And I insisted not to. I said, “Kuya waggg! Sara mo yung door!” I didn’t want anyone to see me cry like that. Takot ako at nahihiya. But he already called my 2^nd eldest brother. So he said to me, “Bat ka umiiyak?” Tapos tumawa kami. I was trying hard not to cry. Sobrang pinipigilan ko na yung iyak ko nun. Yeah, silly right? Crying just because of that. But that’s just me, I’m really sentimental. Then he asked my brother, “Ba’t to umiiyak? Inaway mo?” Hahaha. Then yun, my bro told the whole story. And he was asking me questions. Basta all I remember was I was crying really hard and I was super touched because they really supported me. They got my back. Then my 2^nd eldest brother told me, “Sabihin natin kila mommy bukas yan. Wag ka na umiyak.” Then we went downstairs because we ate some icecream. Pampalamig daw ng ulo. Then while we were leaving the room, our eldest brother came out from his room and saw me. He said, “Oh, bakit ‘to umiiyak? Ano nangyari?” My brother told him, “Destiny, ‘tol.” Hahaha. The next day, my mom and dad knew about it. And yeah, I guess they thought really hard about it. I don’t know but it took about a month to tell that they agreed that I go to Benilde. My dad was the first one who agreed among all of them. My mom was just silent about it. My brothers didn’t want me to because they knew they will be the one who will drive me to school since they won’t allow me to commute and they know that Taft is reallyyyy far. When I was thinking and deciding if I will say to them where I want to go, I really considered everything: the distance, the expenses, my family’s feelings and etcetera. I told it to a family friend and she said, “Don’t make distance a hindrance to your dreams. Tingnan mo ako, I really wanted to take up Economics but I was rejected by a lot of schools there. But I never gave up. So I’m here at Singapore. And 3 or 4 years of driving you to school won’t hurt your brothers, won’t it?” That wasn’t the exact words she said but it was somewhat like that. I am really thankful I have these people around me and I am proud of myself for fighting for my dreams.
19. March 21, 2007: News breakout: our school’s terminating its operation. It was a sad day for the whole OLGM community.
20. March 22, 2007: Bomb squad at our school. Why? Well, if you have heard of the news, may sumabog sa school namin na pill box. Hahaha. We thought that it was some effect that the school planned since it planned to close, graceful exit kumbaga. Hahaha. Magsasara na nga, sasabog pa. We had a joke about this. Before a lot of us were saying, “Ipasara ang OLGM! Pasabugin ang OLGM!” So ayun nga, nagsara nga. Sumabog pa. LOL. This was also a dramatic day for the 4^th year teachers, the whole faculty and fourth year students. A long story but anyway, we were so pasaway during our graduation practice and our teacher got pissed off at us. Napakahabang sermon yun! Pero sobrang touching and totoo naman. We realized our mistakes and the whole senior batch went outside the faculty and we sang our graduation song to them. Sobrang deadma sila. Pero super cry din kaming lahat pati na rin sila. Hay.
21. March 30, 2007: The day I graduated from high school, said goodbye to the best years of my life, my teachers, and my super friends. Batch 2007, last batch of OLGM and batch “State your name!” Haha. Magulo ‘tong graduation na ‘to. Pero super cry! The OLGM Alumni was there and the lower batches. Sobrang lungkot neto. Parang almost one hour kami umiiyak sa stage. Hahaha.
22. April 13, 2007: Nalaman kong accepted ako sa Commerce. Hindi ko na inalam kung accepted ako sa I.T. kasi hindi namin mahanap kung saan nakalagay yung mga wait-list dun.
23. April 15, 2007: Outreach with 4-Faith at Angono, Rizal. This was really a heart-warming experience. I felt really good after this day. It was nice seeing my superfriends again. There were 8 4^th year faith people and some from the NorthView chapter of Tau Gamma Phi. For us 4-Faithers, we organized this outreach because our graduation was a blessing that we want to share with people. I met new people this day. We sung and danced with the youth members of the Christian Church Ms. Adah was part of. I really felt God that day. I felt so blessed! I was really thankful that I have those people around me.
24. April 17, 2007: We went to Benilde. We were just supposed to inquire about the tuition fee but my mom asked me, “Sigurado ka na ditto? Wala nang urungan ah?” I said smiling, “Oo.” So yun, unexpected confirmation. Haha. I was really happy. Hay grabe.
25. May 2, 2007: CSB Enrollment for MMA Students! I was like, oh no! Magc-college na ko! Hahaha. Naalala ko nakita ko yung dalawa kong blockmates nung day na yun pero syempre hindi ko pa alam na blockmates ko sila.
26. May 3, 2007: Went back to CSB for ID Picture. Sobrang haba ng pila nung enrollment mismo e.
27. May 10, 2007: Went to Davao.
28. May 12, 2007: Went to Laugh Tough at The Venue Compound then my cousin, his wife and my brother’s girlfriend then but now his wife fetched me to go to Yellow Haus (coffee shop).
29. May 22, 2007: I went back to Manila. Just me, myself and I. First time kong sumakay ng eroplano na ako lang mag-isa! Woo-hoo! Achievement! Haha.
30. May 23, 2007: SDA Frosh Orientation. This was the first time I met my blockmates and some of my friends. Fun day and a great experience! I felt proud being officially a Benildean. Ohyea.

75. Mga pahabol na 2007 memories, thoughts and etc. : El Filibusterismo play practices.
76. I figured out how the world can be so small. A blockmate of mine was a classmate of my barkada during their high school years and also, a friend of my schoolmate back in elementary. Basta, napatunayan kong maliit talaga ang mundo.
77. I went to college. DLS-CSB, Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Arts. I am proud to be Benilde.
78. I have found a new passion: Photography.
79. I wanted to save money and not depend on my parents.
80. The year where there were a lot of family problems. And also the year before last year which is 2006.
81. For the first time in 2 years, I almost fell in love. But did not allow myself to. I was still scared of being hurt.
82. Met new friends: DV6, my precious block. A BLOCK TO REMEMBER, really. I am so thankful I was part of this block. They're my first friends, first block and first barkada in college.
83. After a year, I have again found myself having the drive to study and get better grades. And be someone better than myself. During my senior year, I was fine at being okay. I was tired of the expectations and everything, academically.
84. I met new friends: friends of friends. Etc, etc, etc.
85. I have had so many experiences that I can't list them all down.
86. 2007 was a great year. Year full of laughters, tears, joys, goodbyes, and friendships.
87. 2007 was one hell of a rollercoaster ride and I am proud I went through it alive.
88. I just wanted to make this list with 88 numbers so yeah. Hahaha. :p

Salamat sa pagbabasa ng pagkahaba-habang listahan ng mga nangyari sa akin ng 2007. Kung super detailed pa ‘to, malamang hindi niyo na babasahin. Hahaha. Nagtataka siguro kayo bakit alam na alam ko yung dates. Kasi nakalagay siya sa 2007 planner ko ng Starbucks. Lahat ng nangyayari sakin, nilalagay ko. So ayun. Wala lang. Haha.

Have a great 2008 everyone!

¹ two batches higher than me.

Okay so it's already January 1, 2008.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Yay. It's New Year already. I always say, "Can you imagine how time flies by so fast?" LOL. I realize that but it just won't sink in to me. Sometimes I can't accept how time flies by reaaaaaaallyyyy fast! I mean, man, I'll be one year older this year! And I'll be legal the next year! It was like only yesterday or no maybe not, let's scratch that, it's too exaggerated. Haha! It was like only last month(still exaggerated but that's how really fast time is for me you know, like you can't waste any moment of it) when I was like 13 or 14 or a junior high school student or a graduating high school student or an incoming college freshman. Now, I will be on my 3rd term as a college freshman then be one year older then be a college sophomore! You know how fast that is?! LOL. *sighs*

Looking back, I wish I had embraced more of the times that can only happen once in a blue moon. But anyway, still looking back, 2007 was a great year for me. I have learned A LOT and I mean really A LOT of things that I will forever keep in mind as I continue my journey to life. It was full of sad and happy moments. Well, that's how life is right? If not, it would be way too boring. And I realize the more you get older and you expand your social network(parang friendster lang ah? lol), life gets more complicated. Still all of us would wish to go back to the times when life was simple and little things are just enough for us to be happy. But past is past, we should leave everything in the past and learn from it.

Just like 2007, we should leave every bad and even good things that had happened, learn from our mistakes, move on and just leave all those to our memories.

Anyway, I'm supposed to have a year-ender something for this blog but like what I said in my previous post, I have the tendency to start a thing then won't get to finish it because of laziness. Yeah, that's what happened. I'll try to finish it or somehow make it short so I can show it to you guys. Or maybe not. Lol.

Only 1 week to go before classes start! I still have a lot to do that I haven't started yet. Grr. I should change this this year. It's really bad for me, for my life, for my line of work and for everyone I leave hanging with all the projects needed to be done. Nge, parang school? Lol. My dad will kill me now if I won't be able to finish it this vacation. This one's soooo last last year. I gotta keep my promises.

Anyway, I will post about my 2007 next time if I get to finish it now.

BTW, Draft pala 'to. Ngayon ko lang mapo-post. Tinamad kasi ako e. Hehe.
