blah...blah.. blah...

ang berks..

we've all been wanting to finish all our clearance as early as possible. honestly i don't feel like going to school today but i thought that maybe something good will happen. and it did. though i set my foot in PLM for less than fifteen minutes, including the walking and finding my classmates, i enjoyed spending the rest of the day with my friends. we went to sm manila [where else?], ate lunch and headed to popstar and sang our hearts out like before! ehehehe.. 6 of us are there: abie, sherwin, joyce, mae, alvie and me. abie didn't stay for long coz her boyfriend needs her support for whatever reason.. hehe.. joke. i really enjoyed it, kanta kung kanta, birit kung birit! hehe.. here's the list of my songs:

1. almost over you - sheena easton
2. i can - donna, regine, mikee
3. it's all coming back - celine dion
4. i will always love you - whitney houston
5. i still believe - mariah carey

o diba? kapalan lang ng mukha! haha!! pero in fairness, i can reach the high notes though i really have to catch my breath and it's so hard to be a diva-wannabe pala. i also sang "thanks to you" when the graduation ambiance takes in. don't blame me, alvie started it with "goodbye" by spice girls. i was kinda teary-eyed that time. buti dim yung lights. that is for the fact that april's coming in. 23 days to go and we're starting new chapter of our lives. i will never forget my friends, especially my "berks". as the song goes, through the 4 years of my college life, i've found my sweetest and funniest days with them. we've gone a long way and we have learned to accept each other's strengths and weaknesses. i'll never forget them..
sherwin - who loves to read and collect books, that he could put up his own library in his room, the way he value his friends for he is an only child and once he's hurt, it will take time to heal that wound.
alvie - the emotional one. who is known for her love in public speaking, her love in music and doing troubleshooting pcs on her own.
mae - the most understanding person i know. she loves spicy food, amazing race, survivor, alias, CSI and almost all the shows in studio 23. like sherwin, she's also a bookworm.
elen - she laughs like there's no tomorrow, but it will surely make your day. be careful when you speak, for she's an unintentional critic. she loves nuts, especially caramba. scissors and thesaurus are her must-haves in her bag and no one can ever question her creativity [invitations, anyone?].
ate arlou - the varsitarian. she loves sports and she loves to cook, and she's a very good one indeed, especially her carbonara. yum!! she's very malambing to her pamangkins and also to people close to her heart. she has a future career in programming.
jong - the super galing programmer. very vain when it comes to his face and body. loves dancing and singing his favorite not-so-new songs playing repeatedly in his winamp. he doesn't care what other people say as long as he knows he's right. very accommodating. busog ka lagi sa kanila. hehe..
abie - the childlike/childish one. the bunso of the group. minsan nakakatuwa pagiging isip bata nya minsan nakakainis, but i can say that she has improved a lot lately. very sweet and thoughtful, especially to her loved ones. a very strong person if you'll know all the things that happened to her.
joyce - the quiet one. she can survive for hours not talking. but i tell you, if you talk to her one-on-one, super daldal nito. very shy and timid, pero pag humirit, grabe ang hangover. she loves pancit canton with calamansi. and last but not the least,
kathleen - the closest one to me. everybody thinks she's so mataray and suplada, but you're so so wrong. sobrang mabait, in fact, you can easily know when she's lying, for she couldn't help but laugh. she's one of those people that you'll never forget. beauty and brains yata to! hehe.. well, that's it. these testimonials are not the basis on how well do i know them. but that's how i remember each and every one of them. they are entirely different from each other but the common denominator is, i love and care for them all.

a not-so-productive day

i was up early because i have to go to my previous school to request for my form 137 as one of the requirements for our graduation. it was quarter to 7 when my younger kinakapatid rang the door bell because last night we both agreed that we'll go to sta. rosa together. i was in a hurry because he was 15 minutes earlier. i thought we're going to commute but to my surprise, he told me that we'll ride his motorcycle. it was my first time, and he was gentleman enough to hand me the helmet. it was fun, but my father told me not to do it again for it's quite dangerous. i understand, but i really enjoyed it. hehe.. i arrived at canossa at exactly 7:23 am. the place had changes, and it was more beautiful than before. i saw my former teacher in economics when i was in fourth year and fortunately she still recognized me. i remembered she said that she will never forget me and our lecture in taxation because i was asking her too much questions hanggang naguluhan na sya. hihi.. i arrived there too early for the registrar's office opens at 8:00, so i decided to take a look around. i went to our chapel and spend some minutes there praying. after that i went to the highschool building and walked in the corridors. i saw this calendar where the activities and feast days are posted and i saw that march 28 is the recognition day, so i went to our gym/auditorium [when i was in highschool we call that place our gym, but now it says Canossa Auditorium], kids are there, and some COCCs are roaming around, wearing that all-white with light blue tie and belt uniform and that blue ribbon tied in their hair like they used to. most people there are wearing sandals, while i wear sneakers, for wearing sandals during weekdays is prohibited in PLM. i'm nearly leaving that institution but i still don't get the logic of that rule. i went to the registrar's office and requested for the form i needed. they are so accommodating and i can really compare the treatment in PLM. well i guess that's how the system goes in a government institution. at around 8:30 i rode a jeep to balibago to ride the bus heading lawton. i arrived at 10:00 and i'm not feeling very well, i was dizzy and at the same time, my stomach aches. i wasn't able to eat lunch and watch ms. congeniality 2 because of that. i saw my UC [ultimate crush] but as usual, we're like strangers and,.. ok, i just don't want to talk about it. i've heard enough and i think they're right. this is a not-so-productive day and seeing my friends [except for bestfwend kathleen because she's suffering from flu] is just my consolation.

almost done

I got my last classcard, last subject for my entire college life. I thought this would never happen, but it did. Although I got good grades, having flat 1.00 as the highest, [naks!] the feeling's still the same. So what's with 1.00?.. something like that. my "aliping sagigilid" role is almost done. I just helped mam U in finalizing our grades in research writing, and I realized i'll just be counting days and it's over. But I'm surely gonna miss it, and I can finally "resign", at long last!! I don't have to worry bout my cellphone load for I won't be doing so much announcements that costs me 30 pesos for one day just to relay the important infos to my blockmates, especially about the general assemblies of our thesis and the constant changing of the sked in thesis defense, and as I have said, although circumstances are like that, I'm gonna miss it. And speaking of missing, while I was in school kanina, I was looking at the people, I saw my UC, and I realized that I am terribly missing him!!! WAAAAHHH!!! I hope he calls. I wish everything fall into place again. I was looking at him while he was sleeping along the corridor the other day, and I can see that he is so tired and wasted. I wanted to ask him how was he, give him words of comfort while looking at him in the eye like before, but I simply can't. as of now I really can no longer expound what I'm feeling but one thing's for sure. I miss him.
