a simple reflection.

So it's only two days before the parting of the year.

And I haven't updated my damn blog for a little over two months. Right. And I told myself to put more attention on my multiply for as it wouldn't be spoiled and neglected. Right.

So now I wish to recap what this year had been for me.

I've experienced and faced a lot of things I actually never expect to experience and face. I became a member of The Parliament for a couple of months which introduced me to the mind-boggling world of debating, realizing in the end that its even harden that what I initially thought. I turned 17 this year, meaning next year, I'd be of legal age so I could drive, drink and marry. Hah. deym.

Summer had been fun and made me sleep in the sands and cold ocean water. School had been equally fun. I drenched myself with energy drink and coffee as I spent countless nights working on with school stuff.

A dear friend left for the States. And I miss here.

Speaking of missing, he he..I'd miss this year, even if it brought me lots of crapshoot and dunghill. And like my alma mater UP which would celebrate its Centennial next year, I'd continue to evolve for the better, and dream for the best.

Yuck..fine it sounds corny and crap but honestly I think everybody's hoping to change din naman, right? And for the better.

So there. I'm ending this year with this post. And hey, happy new year to everyone!

uggh..

havent updated my multiply for ages. i swear i'd focus more on my multiply next year. just having some pure good time at the moment. tsktsk.

Oktoberfest: Baser Kids Rocking da House!

So this exactly what Im expecting. Boozy vacation. Nice. But the nicer thing about it? I had the party going boing with my clan. At 1am yesterday, Nikka had her taste of beer for the first time. Meg and Nikka both still have to develop strong liquor tolerance.

Kyle and I kinda felt guilty cause we feel we were playing the BI dudes here. Actually, we did. =P All five of us are underaged. Kyle and I are the most experienced drinkers in the five. Im 17 while Kyle is 15. Meg is 16. Pam is 15. And Nikka is 14. So you could see that we're all prohibited and I, being the oldest, still let the girls taste the beer. Never mind Kyle, as he is already a high-caliber drinker himself at the age of 15.

We sneaked our way to the TV room praying no one would see the damn Strong Ice and Super Dry cans we bought fromthe nearest ministop. We drank like hell and called the night off only at 3am. And of course cam moments are there..=documentation? haha. I just hope our ultra-conservative parents wont see this mess.

I finally call this sem OFF.

It had been 3 months and three weeks. On the first morning of my vacation, Im dead awake with hangover. What a nice way to kick off my month-long vacation. I spent the remaining pesos in my wallet and on my pocket on booze and chocolate. My card have already reached its limit and my credit line would probably be on by this mid-month.

I was at katips with Pam when a fireworks display at the Ateneo abruptly caught my attention. Namangha lang ako. Sounds shallow, eh? You do not understand. For the last seven days, my average sleep was 4 hours (including naps on my socsci2 and geog105 classes.) Believe me, just love the feeling of hurdling another tumultuous sem.

I was up till 4am this morning, updating my email cause of mail oversurge. Haven't checked it for awhile. Nay--wasnt able to read all of those, in their great number. All of those mails are related with school- mails from classmates, mails with attached school stuff, mails from orgs based in school. Mukhang ayaw pa rin ata akong tigilan ah. Nonetheless I know could detach myself from academe sooner.

I could still feel the tinge of beer in my damn mouth. Because of school? Or just because of my low beer tolerance? Whatever it is, I missed booze. And this would just be a start of a month-long beer-sponsored-and-accompanied vacation. Looking forward of having more crazy nights. Really, I call this sem off. Ansaya.

"Let Me Catch My Breath...

...before you take it away."

I'm watching one of Heroes' episodes on Youtube when I heard this line. Damn. I AM CHEESED OFF. What the hell? Yan tuloy. I would continue on my viewing now , if you would please.

BigDome. Basketball. Coke. BLUE.

So you've probably heard it by now. Ateneo won yesterday. And yes, we were there at the dome. I, Pam, Meg, Kyle and Nikka.

I consider every Ateneo-La Salle game a story for me. From the torture of obtaining tickets to the edgy game to the food and incessant stories and hyper-laughter afterwards. Weird no? We've watched the game together but then we'd still talk about it excitingly as if we've never seen it. Neway, just the thing of getting the tickets was a story in itself. Ang hirap hirap hirap makakuha ng tickets. But then, my agent Erica was able to snag four for us. We dropped by at her dorm the other side of the gate 80 steps downstairs from Ateneo before heading to Araneta.

I had this one thing. This stupid guard and this equally stupid and annoying staff get the two digital cameras brought by Kyle and Pam. But then inside you could see flashes everywhere. And they were digicam flahes not camphone flashes! It was downright unfair. I didn't let that incident ruin my watching of the game na lang.

<<(l-r) Ako, Nikka, Kyle and Pam

Anyway, I'm already a supporter of the blue eagles since my high school days. Ateneo-La Salle matches never failed to do get the extreme thrill and ecstasy out of the audience. Yesterday's match was no different. Halos dikit na yung scores during the last five minutes of the last quarter. They were switching over the lead. Every second was really tense. Kumbaga, nagkakapraningan na talaga. It was way way too fun.

Asa pa La Salle sa overtime. And take note of this: yung damang dama nilang wave is a UP original. The UPians have done it during the opening game with La Salle. Nag-wave yung UP. Aba ginaya ng La Salle, tuloy na-boo.

So here's the top 5:
1UE: 13-0 4UST: 8-5
2Ateneo: 9-4 5FEU: 7-6
3DLSU: 9-4

My alma mater UP? 13-0 ata eh. I'd just wait for the cheerdance thing next week. Definitely we stood a very big chance of winning there. Wag na men's basketball.

I'd like to congratulate Nikka, for for the time she was able to ride on the mrt. A great leap from the usual car car hatid sundo. Good thing you didn't get lost dear. Kundi lagot ako. Haha. I'd plan for the next game. Save more money. And be smarter on smuggling the digicam. I'm also planning to sleep at the Athletics so as to get upper box a/bor even lower box tickets naman.

Next time. blech. =P

It's all over.

I'm finally over that Math14. I dropped it. Hell yeah. Others would say its chicken feed. In my case, it is not. Three months after the classes have started, I gave up. But I take pride on my not being absent or late on my trig class.

I just don't know. For sure that's the hardest decision I've so far made in my college years, or something relating to my academic affairs for that matter. Of course it also took me awhile before finally deciding to drop the course. Like I'd have three units cancelled on my total credits for this semester. But I've consulted my mom about it na. Even my dad. And Him of course. I asked Him to guide in this particular decision-making as it would determine the course of my studies. Required kasi tong Math14 eh.

But anyway, I shouldn't fret as long as long as I'm not underload. And after all, math learning isn't just inside the four corners ofmy classroom, within the confines of the university, eh?

Malapit ko nang tanawin ang huli kong hakbang sa Math building. I'd miss it. For sure.

Rest.

I've been telling myself for the past 30 days to restructure my blog. Hitherto,I'm not doing anything. I just envy people who could relax and breathe, spend thier weekends like there would never be such at all.

Right now, I'm just so hell drained. I'm desperate for sleep. Kape na kong kape. And I hate it. I've never been so hell stressed and worried in my entire life. Seriously. Good thing there are few things coming in which somehow lighten me up. I could go with Pam at UAAP finally on Sept. 9. And my FIFA lace would be on the way after ions of years.

Damn. It's just so weird I appreciate these little things which I would just probably frown upon and dismiss before. Masaya na akong may kasama. Ganun lang. Simplemente.

Ewan ko ha but perhaps in these trying times I'm learning to appreciate simple things more than ever. Neway, still have a heck of a pile of papers here to finish. And I would give everything for this one precious thing: TIME


Time to sleep.

My debut post. And random stuff.

I was with Elisha then. Mcdo katips. After mass. Lunch time.

Natabig ko yung softdrink ko. It didn't spill though.
Then she said, "Hai..it'd spill. Just watch."
After five minutes, it spilt.

Creepy. Elisha's one hell of a weird kid.

School is fine. So far. Love Diliman. Can't complain except for math 14. You I've always been a math-hater. But then I have to take it anyway. Tsk tsk.

I watched some films at this year's Eiga Sai: Japanese Contemporary Film Festival. This film Chirusoku no Natsu got my interest that I'm even prompted to write to the Japanese Embassy to ask for a copy of the film. Hope they would reply though.

I had a fun weekend...last week.

Meg and I watched the opening ceremony of the 70th season of the UAAP at the Araneta. actually we went there without tickets, for tickets were already sold out days before the opening. Gee..then this lasallian manong approached us (maybe he guessed that we were searching for peeps who would sell the golden tickets!) well, he sold the upper box tickets 33% than the original price. But then we were more than willing to watch the opening so we bought the tickets anyway.

Next day I was with my cousins skating at mega. Eh di nman ako marunong eh. So I looked so damn pathetic vis-a-vis those kids whom I think do nothing but skate and skate here. Blech. Next thing i knew, my feet were working on the dance dance rev pad. Enjoy. I had lost of fun with my cousins. Sort of bonding moment na rin.
