Missing the A.

I was searching for photos of Hot Stuff for Raisia. She has to remember her. She has to! Thus, I excavated my multiply albums. Reading the comments, seeing our photos from last sem really made me miss Block A. Sobrang *haaaaay*, no words can explain how much of my life is filled with Block A memories. What's good about our bonding last sem is that even if we aren't complete in a single block this sem, we are still very much in touch with each other. Every time we see each other in the snack bar or the BA hallways, we greet each other as if we were gone for sooo lang when in fact we are always inside the same college.

In BA, Be A.

On behalf of the block, I welcome our new block mates to the happy BA life.

Yes Emm. kasama ka. haha

oh, miss niyo na rin ba siya?

Ako, sobra. :)

sobrang meant to beeee!

I went shopping today...The whole of Trinoma is on SALE. OMG.

All I wanted was a pair of shoes for my lakads on Friday and Saturday. I ended up buying things I could have bought weeks and/or months ago but they didn't have my size then. Now that they have the sizes, go lang! Buy galore. So I got a hearty jacket (used my BDJ coupon, YAY) and a pair of medallion flats. I was tired and finally decided to just look around and not buy, but then I stumbled upon The Ramp at Crossings. I got curious and wanted to see what's inside. Here goes destiny- the one and only shoe I decided to try fits me really right! It was the design I had in mind this morning. It was the last pair as well. OMG. Diba? Sobrang meant to be?! hahahaha

At this point, I'm broke, but happy. No deliveries and friend treats muna because I have to recover my expenses.

Tomorrow, I shall pay my bills and study Law at Starbucks. haha

And oh, I enjoyed Finance today. haha

today I was torn

between going out and staying home to study HR. Damn, I'm stuck in Chapter 3 and we need to study until chapter 9. noooooo. But i think the reviewer will do me fine. As long as I focus. Anyway, back to my being torn...I wanted to see Aliens vs. Predators or check out the Jager Party of JMA at Ponti since Anna Sese invited me to come. Destiny decided that I stay here and read on HR. A friend wasn't really in the best condition for a movie night so we were both stuck home on a Saturday night. But the night wasn't that bad. It was sort of a catch up night over ym with some friends. I just love the wonders of technology.

Coca-Cola has a new campaign. That one with the 'Everyday sweet sunshine' song. It's nice that there's a Filipino touch to it. I believe it's a global campaign because there was this different settings representing different countries. I think they did this to save on advertising costs. All they will do is change the sequence of the clips, placing that of the chosen country as the last clip. Then changing the "Buhay coke, buksan mo" tagline in their own dialect. But somehow, I felt bitin. There was an effort to show togetherness but I didn't feel the connection- the Pinoy twist. They must reconnect with the market through the benta ads like the 'Eto ang beat" craze (which I actually memomize) and the phenomenal Nikki Gil jingle. Well, if you really know me, I love Coke. I am totally in love with it. Although I'm not addicted to it to a point that it's my water. But it is my choice of drink every time I'm out for meals. That's why I am quite attached to their campaigns.

♥

I am very excited for the weekend! It's going to be the super de-stress weekend! Friday Party at Temple then Saturday Jzone event (care of Juancho) , party at Mezze in Greenbelt then Wind event in Jaipur! I wish that many of my batch mates will come on Saturday. GUYS, LET'S SUPPORT EMM'S EVENT. Sunday might be my spaaaah or salon day. That is, if I still have money to spend.

Of the many firsts

23 January 2008.

First time to ride the BA elevator. Weeeeeeh!

*One of the many things to do before I graduate*

On the same day, Fa became friendly to a doggie. a Schnauzer, I believe.


First time that Fa touched a puppy! Swerte ni Kimi!
Second time Fa became friendly to the doggie. Kimi's mommy.

I can just cry all night remembering this day.






Because at some point, I wished it wouldn't end.

Must have fun soon

Today OpMan results were out. Sheeesh.

Anyway, today was a different day. We didn't have Finance, which I don't mind getting used to. After eating at Rodic's with Fa and Emm, I accompanied Fa to buy her stuff for her beach trip this weekend. We ended up at Shopwise in Libis. Fa's Green tea and my Cappuccino ice cream from FIC made my day. Haha, so much for the galit galit day we planned.

When we got to school, I heard about Nica's emotional morning. I'm glad she was feeling better after OpMan class. Before leaving for our Socio exam, we bid everyone goodbye with hugs and little 'ingat' reminders. It's weird but I like it. The goodbye hugs were new, but sweet, nonetheless.

Socio exam was lalala. It was okay. I think I did a reasonable essay.

After class, I went to the mall to buy clothes for the coming events. Since I couldn't find the style of the shorts I wanted, I called my mom and asked if she can have me made one at the shop. Yahey! Free order again!

I wish the coming month will be great for all of us. That we will soon be seeing big grins on each other's faces. Because we all miss having fun as in the fun fun not-a-care-in-the-world type of fun. YAAAAY! I'm sooo excited.

Okay, I just remembered I need to study HR and Law. Demn. Okay, excitement level just dropped.

I'll give you time to miss me

It's funny how after missing people, you end up spending time with them very soon after your drama. So here goes my Wednesday and Thursday adventure.

Wednesday is our Badminton day. Time to de-stress from all the tough work we've been going through the whole month. After less than two hours of smashing and chasing after the shuttlecock, we all felt hungry and decided to have lunch at Gerry's. It was a craaazy cholesterol filled lunch. It was yummy, nonetheless. Anyway, we arrived 30 minutes late for Law class. Buti nalang the attendance sheet was still circulating. Yay! After some serious and mushy bonding with Andy, we decided to go home and get some sleep. But here goes Migs Tirona, arriving from his PI class. Despite my serious lack of sleep, he successfully persuaded Fa and I to go see a movie. We watched American Gangster. It was good. I actually liked it. For a while I was torn between Frank Lucas' (Denzel Washington) love for family and his big business importing and distributing the best quality opium during the Harlem years.

After the movie, we went to check out the fencing practice at the Ultra.

We had fun watching people in wedgie uniforms poke each other. Fa and I enjoyed holding the blades- the foil and saber. We didn't get the chance to hold an epee' but we did get to tinker their equipment and figure out how it works without getting ourselves electrocuted. Two hours, and a smelly Migs later, we left the place to have a late dinner at Tiendesitas. A little walk to Silver City while singing "Fallin" was just very...weird. It was a long search for dessert. We went around Pasig but everything seems to be closed already. Dessert at midnight? Malamang lang naman closed na lahat. We ended up at the new Petron in Katipunan. We attempted to walked in the drive-thru window of Jollibee but they weren't cool enough and barred us from ordering on our imaginary car. I wanted to sort of bash the lady in the window. Oh demn, I wished we took Fa's car and drove to the window and ask "NOW CAN WE ORDER?" Effin' Jollibee branch. Heniway, we ended up drinking Lipton Red at M14. *wink* Bonding time until a little past 2 then off we go to get some meme.

Thursday. I swear, everyday I spend Marketing with Maam Agatep, I just dislike her more and more. She doesn't listen to the reports, doesn't tell us what she really wants on paper and to top it all, she just loves giving effin' LOW LOW LOW grades. I totally hate her. I really do.

Lunch at Grill Queen with Punky, Vicki, Pat,Dianne, Tim, Jay-ar, Kyle. Serendra and MarketMarket galore with Fa,Punky and Migs. We saw Tintin Bersola shooting for some show we don't know. Anyway, we spent a good five hours just walking around stores, smelling shampoo bars and checking out gadgets and clothes. I loved Hobbes and Landes. It was big. You can even play Wii. I also found a cool emblem and sealing wax sticks (in gold,silver and red), pretty chess sets and lovely toys for the intellectual minds.

Our last stop in Serendra was Fully Booked. Its 5 storeys hold all the books you can ever imagine. Plus, they have collector's item action figures for sale. It was ridiculously expensive but I kinda liked the Batman and Spawn figures. We had a great time laughing at the baduy valentine's cards at the basement.

"You took away a part of me that cared." -statement on a shirt

And of course, who leaves Serendra without cupcakes from Sonja's?
Punky's mom fetched her and so there was the three of us again.

Nakakaburat list: LUSH shampoo bars, Migs' music. The many books. The cool and expensive action figures.

We sort of craved for chicken inasal but we ended up eating at this sisig place, Aysee. It's not that cute, Gerry's-ish resto. It's actually a little Mang Jimmy's-ish place in Pasig.

I now agree with Fa and Migs. Sobrang sarap ng sisig nila.

Dropped Migs off to training. Fa dropped me at BA so I can get a good and affordable ride home.

Whattadays. Two-day togetherness? Erm, as Fa would say, galit- galit muna tayo bukas. ;)

I miss

Note to self: Take HR seriously.
♥
Finally, three more exams then I'm free. Socio this Friday, HR on Monday and Law on the 31st.
♥

I miss Sir Pineda. We saw him this afternoon.

"Sir Pinedaaaaaa!" *waves at him*
He smiles at us as we walked closer to him.
"Sir, pumayat ka!"
"Nagka dengue kasi ako eh."

At his age, dengue? Buti kinaya pa ng katawan niya. Thank God. I miss our 115 days. I honestly enjoyed that class. It was pure teamwork and love. It was more than teamwork pala. It was class work. And love? We all know we grew to love the block more and more after every nerve wracking case presentation.

♥

My dad's flying back to Iloilo tomorrow. It's that time again where I get sad and stuff like that. But I'm used to it. I'll see him in March, probably. Yay! But I'll miss him, like I always do. I'll miss our conversations on stocks. :)

♥

I need hugs right now. Because I have been missing you. And I have no idea how to let you know. Because I think I'm not supposed to let you know . I don't think I have some space somewhere there. And when I think of all the reasons why I shouldn't, I remember every single moment you said you miss us. Tell me I must believe you. Coz if I do, why can't I feel it?

I'm poooor.

I can't afford a good seat in Maroon 5's concert! I mean, my 4000 budget is equivalent to a VIP seat in the concerts of Ne-yo and Incubus. DARN.

In or out?

I am seriously considering getting a place in Katipunan with Jam. Well, I love the convenience of a house. My clutter wouldn't be anyone's problem (except my uncle). And, I have my own bathroom that can hold my array of shampoos and soaps. My own cabinets. Study room. Cable TV. Kitchen. High-speed internet. I love staying here.

Being in Katipunan is a different story. I never have to worry about going home late at night because there are gazillions of people who can drop me off at Katipunan. I need not bribe Tim for a ride. hahaha Just kiddin'! I can jog at Ateneo like Nica and Vicki. Almost all my block mates live in Katipunan. Happy time yun, for sure! Kara, my supah friend from Psych also stays in Katipunan.

More than that, I'll never have to miss on another spur of the moment thing. Yes, you'd think I never miss things like that? I missed it. Quite a few times already. Oh, the agony. Yes, yes.

Okay, so maybe moving to Katipunan is quite radical for me. I guess I'd consider learning how to drive first. ;) But if all else fails, I just might be able to convince Mom and Dad to spend a little more bucks for my happiness...and education! hahaha

Marketing's goal: To delight the customer

Today we spent most of our time finishing our OpMan case and working on our Marketing case due on Monday. During our OpMan presentation, Sir Raya kept on interrupting during the discussion of our process blueprint. He insists that during a delivery service call, the recap of orders is redundant. He even mentioned that he gets pissed when waiters ask him if he has any pending order every time they bring his food to the table. "Read the goddamn receipt!" He insists our process was too pleasant, too polite, blah blah.

Dianne, Kyle and I decided to cut our Socio class since we're on crunch time for Marketing. But here comes the breakdown of the laptop due to a virus. Kamusta nameeehn? Since we have nothing to do, Pat suggested that we eat steak! Yahoooey! The 9 of us hopped into the Happy Van and made our way to Slice and Dice! Whatta T-Bone! ;) Back in the happy van, we were all singing Maroon 5 songs. (Yay for the concert!) and of course, some Tim bashing moments coz he was with us. The ride was bumpy but fun! Singing "Won't go home without you" while treading the Elliptical road on a rainy day was really...surreal. It felt so serene, with nothing to do but sit and hold on tight (Pat's driving requires you to hold on tight.) We all went back to BA with our satisfied tummies. A hundred bucks for a plateful of steak? Definitely delightful!

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY JAY-AR!

We l♥ve you!

"I have a horrible feeling this is gonna be a hit record."
-Simon Cowell on Reynaldo Lapuz' performance of "We're brothers forever" on American Idol

can't have both

Remember the feeling when you just had to choose?

When you'd love to do both but just really can't?

When they are both important to you?

Yesss, exactly what I'm feeling right now. You see,
person A promised to pick me up from school then we'll have dinner. Yay, I say! I'm not gonna battle it out in the rain, nor will I stress on whether I can get a good ride or not.

Then here comes someone else, asking me out to party tonight.



How horrible can you feel?

blah

blah

blah





Oh, yeah, I went to the dinner...with Daddy.


See why it's even harder to decide?

OMGIWD.

Happenings

Last Monday, Emm surprised us by wearing a belt on his neck. It's really not much, considering his gayness. And besides, I bet only a few people (girls,actually) noticed it was a belt.
"I can be your bitch." He told Kyle, while handing over the end of the belt. It was so funny! We dared Emm to do it to Jave as well but surprisingly, he couldn't! Well, you see, Jave's a big man. So, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all. Kung ako nga naman si Emm, baka masapak ako ni Jave. hahaha

* * *

Wednesday. Finance exam reminded us of our Accounting days. 3 looong hours were allocated for a 95 item examination. If you think 3 hours is too much, sorry to burst your bubble. It will starve you (12 noon-3 pm). I wish I pass. Because I have no room for mediocrity right now.

After the exam, we decided to grab some ice cream but it turned out to be a lunch-merienda meal at Tomatokick. We kidnapped Emm at the waiting shed near Econ. At first he was really reluctant. But everyone in the happy van shouted SAKAAAAY NAAAA! and so he hopped in without any idea where we're going. I'm pretty sure Emm had a blast. haha

* * *

Thursday. Marketing Exam...ishest naman yun. hahaha, i kid! We worked on our Pizza USA case for Operations Management at the ABAM tambayan. Then, attended the HR class. OMG. I can't believe I listened today! I even asked a question on classified information. hahaha

I'm happy coz Law class was canceled again. And I got to eat wicked ores with Mareng Fa.

* * *

Everyone in our block is really tired right now. Imagine having consecutive exams and cases since last week. Thank God HR exam was moved to the 28th. That gives us time to do our Marketing case, plus study for our OpMan exam. But trade off must happen. So badminton day will be canceled until further notice.

I'm so drained. I guess that's why I've been wanting to have ice cream with my friends. So I can escape stress for a while.

I want ice cream now. But I think it can wait.

Maybe some Haagen-Daaz. or Ben & Jerry's.

Sige na nga, pwede na yung Ice cream sa may main library. hahaha

The ishest thing to do

Today was a laaaazy day.

Marketing. My prof wouldn't listen to me and my seatmates! You see, I sit in the front row. So every time the prof would ask a question, we'd simply blurt out our answers. She'll glance at us, but every time she picks someone to answer, that person will recite the same answer as we have. Then, nag iimbento pa siya ng data. She told us Rockwell and Shangri La are owned by Ayala Land. Imagine her shock when Juancho said Rockwell is owned by the Lopezes. And, for the record, Shangri La is owned by the EDSA Preoperties Holdings Inc. The funniest part of our class was when she said the magic words "ishest" and "dirchest". Special thanks to Mareng Fa for the spelling. hahaha Now, I'm quite sure you are clueless about these words' meanings. (Unless you are part of the class.)

Ishest = easiest
Dirchest= dirtiest

got that? =))

I miss Ma'am Chin! I really do!

* * *

My 152 class was worse. We had a long quiz. I can't express my hatred on the subject. I can't seem to find the patience and listen to her for 90 effin' minutes. I don't know. It makes me love Finance more.

* * *

Law class. Keribels lang. hahaha

* * *

A lot of my blockmates are interested in watching the concert of Maroon 5. Yahooooey! It's gonna be really fuuuun. :)

Someone like Emm

Reading Emm's blog made me sad. But inspired, nonetheless. Emm is such a bundle of joy- so gay, so sweet, so hardworking. More that that, what inspires me about Emm is that he has sooo much love to share to the world. He loves in such a way that he forgets the fears and risk of getting hurt. I mean, yeah we all get hurt at one point but when I look at Emm, it's like he (or she) will love you now because that's what my heart tells me and because I am happy to be loving you. He does not entertain the thoughts of getting hurt or being left alone. When he's sad, he lets it all out and he's back to his happy self again.

* * *
So afraid right now. Not to fall. but lose someone.
* * *

I wish you're like Emm. Sans the gayness, of course! I wish that you enjoy the happiness that you have now. And I truly wish I'm part of it.

"If things are getting special, it gets harder to let go."
-emmclare.all rights reserved 2008.

* * *
I wish there'll be more people like Emm in this world. Maybe money isn't our problem...it's love.

For the nth time

Listen. For the nth time, I am telling you to back off. I'm gonna have to kill you.

Are you familiar with the feeling when things are really really good then bad news comes. And it's because of that one person AGAIN that you've been hating for quite a long time. Oooh, believe me I wanna kill you. I want you to disappear, pronto!

Please dear Lord, give me patience. I don't want to have to kill.

There's more!

Aside from the many concerts of the local artists for Valentine's Day... And of course, as aforementioned in yesterday's blog, there's one more pa coming to Manila!

INCUBUS

March 9,2008 at the Araneta Coliseum.

Grabe, gimme money. I wanna watch.

Concerts galore!

Okaaaay!

NE-YO

Kung gusto mo naman ng kasama, message me on ym. hahaha :P

Mare, tara, let's watch!

First off, Happy Birthday Elai! :)

* * *

I went to school today to meet up with my OpMan groupmates to do our case. I saw my orgmates at the BA steps, getting ready for the Scavenger hunt. I was supposed to be part of it but, my nerd nerve got into me and decided it would be very helpful for my school load if I spend the day doing the case. Anyway, I was dead sleepy during the brainstorming since I only had 4 hours of sleeeeep. I planned to attend the Marketing boot camp in the afternoon however, I was seriously very sleepy that I had to leave.

I paid my internet bill at the mall and decided to treat myself to a movie. I watched National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets. It's a good movie, I like it. But again, the sleep was haunting me during the movie. Plus the fact that the two men who were sitting behind me were talking about the movie. *Must you really repeat the punchlines? Really now?*

Yellow Cab for dinner, Yay yay!

So, I wasn't able to sleep. I worked on my Finance assignment instead of getting some rest. Homaygash, stress week na...I can feel it!

* * *

Oh, remember my story about going to Cubao? The quaint vintage store we visited was featured in Boy and Kris last Monday! I wasn't able to watch it though since I had a Marketing class. Wala lang, I'm just thrilled. haha

I wish I wasn't wrong

Maybe you thought
I won't mind at all...but
God knows how
Sincere we are in the friendship we all thought existed.


We miss you. We really do. When you come back, we'll be here ready to welcome you with the warmest hugs.

Sentiments

Today is a good day. I finally have friend #1 back. Thank you God.

* * *

Tim was being sentimental in our Finance class this afternoon.
He sat beside me, suddenly he said
"Isang taon nalang ga-graduate na tayo."

I've been going through the same feeling since this sem started. Wala lang. I just wish I have more time to be with all my friends. This junior year has been a really great year for all of us- my block mates, both old and new. I wish I get to be with my non-BA friends as well. My GE friends and CWTS team. I miss screaming at the top of my lungs with my rappelling team. We're like a big family- Engineering people, plus me and Kara (Psych).

Another thing happened in Finance today. Ma'am Guantes was discussing future values of stock dividends. She asked a question and I tried to answer it (hoping to look interested because half the class isn't listening). Anyway, when I recited my answer in such an enlightened manner, she replied in her monotone voice, "yes." The funny part was I didn't understand if it was a 'Yes, you're right, that's really nice" or "Yes, duh! Ngayon mo lang naintindihan?" Seriously, the monotone confused me. hahaha

* * *

Okay, now I miss you my friend number 2 and 3. It's been a while, my dears. I hope we can catch up soon. I was with 3 kanina but we didn't get to talk much. And 2 is simply invisible and out of reach.

* * *

Juancho made me laugh really hard today. hahaha "Parang I felt I was falling na..." hahahaha

* * *
I'm currently loving Sara Bareilles' song, City
"I'm finding every reason to be gone,
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?"

* * *

We will have 6 exams in the next two weeks. Plus cases plus papers plus all the other deliverables. Crunch time na. Stress month.
Ü

best

Today was fine. We finally have a new professor in Marketing, Miss Agatep. She is also the other block's professor. She's okay naman. At least more engaging than Dr.Ben Paul. Still, nothing compares to Ma'am Chin's great teaching skills. Fa, Punky, Vicki, Kyle, Pat and I had Yellow Cab Meatlovers Pizza delivered for lunch. Yay, Yum yum! Anyway, Law class was canceled. So maybe, today was great. We had this karaoke day as part of my business organization's week-long anniversary celebration. Yeah, I sang but never mind what I sang or what my score was. Everyone in the org believes that the karaoke was not in its best condition anyway. hahaha

* * *
Someone didn't speak to me today. But fine fine, I'm too happy to even mind. Okay, maybe I hated the fact we didn't speak, but I think I understand.

* * *

I just finished watching the last episode of Gossip Girl's first season. I've been going through lot lately. I feel confused, angry, jealous and happy all at the same time. If there's one thing I learned from Gossip Girl, it's being a friend.

I want to be like S. When she eats her pride at takes in a bullet for a B or Dan or Jenny. When no matter how bitchy B gets, she will still stick with her. The scene where she stopped B from leaving for France...it made me weak. I was touched.

"Stay and fight. I'll fight with you."
-S to B

But somehow, I find myself associated to B's character. She's nice but mean. She's sweet but cruel. She loves Nate so much even when there is no assurance of forever.

But it's fine. I think I'm actually moving to the character of S.

I'll give you time. But if you need me, I'm here.
Love,-

Isn't that so Serena?

I'm starting to be extra understanding, become sweeter to my good friends and trying to listen to people more. And of course, like S, fear nothing to take a chance on something like love.

Oh, did I just say love?

Ü

"One can never have too much of the good stuff."

Ahh, yes. Chocolates, ice creams, cakes, etc.

I want to thank you for the comforting hugs, the sweetest gestures, the genuine grip and all that effort to make me feel alright. Thank you for listening, for talking, for sharing and simply sticking around. You know what? Maybe you're right. We can never have too much of the good stuff.







And that includes spending a little more time with you.

TYM 180
ALTA

Will definitely be remembered.

The UP Centennial Kick off Celebration was effin' amazing! I cannot describe the feeling of being there to witness something great. It is history unfolding in my naked eyes. homaygash!

Migs decided to skip his Fencing training to join us in the concert. I am truly touched.:)

I totally enjoyed watching the parade except of course the fact that it was hot and tiring to stand for hours! The skydivers were worth the wait naman so that's cool. We moved to the field at the back of Quezon Hall so we can get a good spot for the concert. We sat on the grass because our legs were screaming in pain already. And three long hours later, the concert finally started. I loved the 1812 overture, the chorale version of APO Hiking Society's Blue Jeans and ok, I appreciate the appearance of Maestro Ryan Cayabyab. He sang one song which he composed with a friend back in their UPIS days. Yun lang...I wish he just sang a song that everybody could sing along with. Para naman mas worth yung hintay namin diba? But then again, this is about the University's culture and rich history so fine. hahaha In the closing ceremony in December, please sing Tuwing Umuulan or Paraiso or Heto Na Naman. So that we can sing with you, ayt? Oh, by the way, the Maestro entered UP as a Business Administration student but pursued Music when (then) Senator Salvador Laurel offered him a scholarship in Music. Woot woot, BA!

Fa messaged sometime during the concert. Just checking on us. She's in Batangas for her lola's birthday bash so there. She was there busy having her face licked with her toddler cousins.

Fireworks. AMAZING. The best fireworks display I've seen in my whole life. Better than that of Mall of Asia and Enchanted Kingdom combined. (Now I totally don't mind the tuition increase. hahaha, I kid!) OMG. I really really fell in love with the heart shape fireworks. I wanna die. :) I wish Fa was there to see it. Then we can both die of kilig together. hahahaha :P

Si Juancho nag aya manood nung Kick off tapos wala naman siya. weh.
Btw, Juancho's mom is close to Mr.C. Maybe she can hint about nicer songs? hahaha

It's funny how sneaky God can be. He made this night something far better than I hoped for. I love this night. I wouldn't want it to end any other way.

Eyes like waterfalls

Dear Adz,

I totally know how you're feeling right now. It's one of those days when you realize that the very things that make you happy will be the ones that will hurt you so bad. To a point that tomorrow, when you wake up, you will need to find the strength somewhere in your soul. The strength to get up and face the day even when it feels like it's not gonna be a good one. This is strength. R, F and J are strengths. Jesus is strength. See? It comes when you need it. And trust me, it will be enough to get you through the day. Keep in mind that as long as there are mornings to wake up to, people to run to and minutes to call on Jesus, you will always have a reason to face every waking morning.

Love,
Lee

* * *
To Raisia who listened and sent me a tight cyberhug.
To Fa who's always been there and who gives me a hug at random moments.
To Juancho who reminded me of Jesus.
To Karen M. and Ching for the hugs.
And of course, to Jesus, who sent these wonderful people.
I l♥ve you all.

I will rant and rant and rant again

Ho-hum...I was absent for Marketing class today. I went to Glorietta with my dad, cousins, brother and tito for lunch and the traditional shopping day we do before Tito Gerry goes home to Sydney. Since I was on time constraint due to my self imposed need to attend Law class, I had very little time to see what's in every store. I wasn't even able to check Zara which was holding its end-of-season sale, btw. Howell, I don't really care. I got my new Lacoste Beam Metallic flats! Yay!

We had a surprise quiz in Law. And it's one of those days na surprise nga naman talaga. My heart was in my throat, my mind went blank and I failed to browse my ObliCon book for a desperate attempt to grasp anything.

Got into a few friend issues today. But for the record, I am not war freak. And besides, not all the issues involve me. And, not all the issues are bad. Got that? Great.

Friend number 1: I don't know you anymore. If things go wrong, don't blame me. I tried. You just didn't care.

Friend number 2: Don't put your problem between you and the world. Don't let your problem separate you from your world. Why don't you and your world solve the problem together. At the very least, ask for support.

Friend number 3: Thank you.

I am excited for the UP Centennial Kick off Celebration tomorrow. It's gonna be big big big. Just click on the link for details.

Plans, plans and plans

I super want to go out of Luzon with my friends this summer. And being the excited person that I am, I started searching for the best deals for air fares, accommodations and fun activities. YAY! I think it is natural for any BA student to do this. Least cost, same fun activities, winning destination, diba? (cough*Pineda*cough)

Top destinations in our list would be:
1. Dumaguete
2. Bohol
3. Puerto Princesa, Palawan


I have actually started saving up already. And I have also started to lightly mention this to my friends so that they can start saving up as well. Maybe around Php 7- 10,000 will do? I think it's enough for at least a 3 day vacation.

Oh well, if all else fails, *crosses fingers; hopes that everything works out right*, we can just hop on a bus to Sorsogon and visit the butadings.

P.S.
Nica Yan and Raisia, sama kayo. :)

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, KYLE! WE L♥VE YOU! Yay!

And fourth...

Great friendships
are founded on genuine concern
and heartwarming gestures.

Thank you.

Back to School

Back to school na. Harmpf.

Thursday: My dad drove me to school today. Pero iba yung guard sa BA lobby. I'm so lazy to take my wallet and flash my ID so I walked past her so fast as if the lady guard didn't exist. While I was walking up the stairs, she gave me THE look. All I could do was smile to myself since I was too preoccupied guessing who are the first ones I'll be seeing when I reach the 3rd floor. I saw Pat, Fa, Vicki, Punky, Kyle. Yay! Ü

Ma'am Chin, our Marketing prof will be leaving for France at 11 am so Sir Ben Paul took over the 10 am class. Haay, I'm not sure if i was the only one who got bored. Every minute felt like forever. I'll miss Ma'am Chin. Her insider stories about brands and their dirty deeds. Well, not all their strategies are dirty. Except maybe for the detergent brand that smuggles their raw materials. Yikeee!


Our lunch out with friends became lunch at the caf for the simple reason that there was a shortage of cars to take us to Aveneto. Imagine that? haaay...the BA lifestyle is really funny at times.

We all left school after lunch but when i got home, surprise! May class kami sa Business Law. First day of classes in 2008 tapos absent ako. Goodbye 5 points. boo :(

Friday: The results of last December's Finance quiz were released this afternoon. I paaaassed!!! And for someone who failed to study, that was a pretty good grade ah! (Flashback: I wasn't able to study because Fa and I stayed up late doing our deliverables in Marketing.) Anyway, so maybe I mentioned na 'magpapa-fiesta' ako if I pass but, maybe not now. I still need to recover from my holiday expenses. hahaha

I have a lot of things to be thankful for this day. (Got this virtue of being thankful from JZoner Kuya Juancho) First, I enjoyed being with my classmates today and seeing my ex-blockmates and friends. Haay, I miss them, grabe. Second, as aforementioned, I passed my Finance quiz. Third, Kyle, Dianne, Vincent and I will be getting merits in Socio for submitting our papers. YAY! And fourth... nyeh. hahahaha :)
