FOR THE KG OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT...

The best thing
That ever happened to me
Or the best thing
That was ever given to me
This school year
Was the
Most Unexpected Thing
That could ever happen in
My Life...

This school year,
I've been inclose friendship
With the
Most Unexpected People
In our batch.
Actually, di naman talaga unexpected
Pero, unexpected pa rin.
Ang Labo...

Anyway,
Without Them,
I could never have conquered my first year here in college.
Conquered in the sense that
I could never have been
That emotionally stable
If they were not there.
I could never have been
Academically stable
If there's such a term
If they weren't there

It's like having a
Security Blanket
I mean,
A Security Blanket
Which is Full of Life.
I Never had a dull moment
With these girls.

Ice Cream
Cake
Happy Homes
Or
Even the crispy Anchovies worth 58 pesos
Had never been that more delicious
More tasty
And more fulfilling
Until I ate those with them

The Secrets
I've now learned to
Keep My Mouth Shut
And Keep all of those words
And experiences
In My Heart

Oh. Ang Labo Ata Nun Ah.
Basta, eto lang ang masasabi ko...

WHY?
Why would everything end
When everything seems to be going all right?
Why
Why would we need to separate ways
When everything says
That we must all be together?

Ang labo ulit.
Basta eto lang.

I will Miss You
Tal
Bex
Cia

...

Katipunan will never be the same without you.
I think I'm gonna eat Happy Homes
All by myself from now on.

But I'll never regret
What we had.
And
I will and always
Treasure this Friendship
Forever.

I will Keep the Cellphone Chain... Or whatever you may call it.

I will Miss You!

ISANG TAON NA!

Naaalala mo pa ba ang mga oras na tayo'y magkasama?
Kaibigan ika'y kasabay sa mga tawang tila wala nang bukas...
Naaalala mo pa ba ang mga luhang nilunod sa ulan?
Ito ang mga panahong damdami'y nag-aalab...

At kung di mo makita ang liwanag ng bukas,
'Wag na 'wag kang matatakot
May kasama ka...

Aalis na pala...
Di man lang namalayan
Ang oras ay naubos na...
At sa ating paglisan
Ang tanging pabaon ay ang pangako...

March 29, 2006

Sabay nating ginuhit ang mga pangarap sa alapaap.
Sabay nating tinahak ang daang mapaglaro.
Madadapa't babangon, mangangarap at mangagako
Ito ang mga panahong iaalay sa'yo.

ISANG TAON na tayong alumi ng Pisay, Illumina!
I miss everyone...
The friendship that we built had been the best thing that ever happened to me in my life.
Thank you for keeping the bond strong.

God bless Illumina!

OF WOUNDS AND SCARS

People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers.

What's worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should've healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think. But that's not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again.

OO

Yes, I bought a new cell phone.

And yes, I bought a Globe sim pack.

And yes, nasira na 'yung goal kong maging Smart subscriber forever. Apparently that thing doesn't totally work well for me nowadays. Sobrang napapamahal yung gastos ko sa katetext ng mga kaklase ko dahil halos lahat sila Globe. Kaya naman, nag-ipon ako para makabili ng bagong cellphone na Globe.

And tarrraah! Ayan, bagong cell phone. Binili namin nina Mara and Nicole sa Sta. Lucia kahapon ng hapon.

PERO, active smart subscriber pa rin naman ako. At di yan magbabago.

Haaay naku... two weeks na lang, tapos na ang sem!

And I have four papers more to go : 2 for english, 1 for fil, 1 for lit. I really hope I would be able to finish them on time. I believe I can. Oo! Kaya ko ito.

May math long test pa kami sa wednesday! Haaay naku... Differential equations. Nagfi-feeling Math major na ako. Haha! I love math. Nyahh..

Oo nga pala, I'm planning to transfer to another room here in Dormitoryana (Hopefully kasama ko na sina Niña at kapatid niya). Aalis na kasi si Ate Mian. Pupunta na siya ng Canada.

Haay naku basta. Kailangan ko ng roommate. Yun lang. Tapos.

Grey's anatomy quotes:

"First, do no harm. As doctors, we pledge to live by this oath. But harm happens and then guilt happens. And there is no oath for how to deal with that. Guilt never goes anywhere on its own, it brings its friends - doubt and insecurity."

"At any given moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don’t have control over most of them. When we get a chill... goose bumps. When we get excited... adrenaline. The body naturally follows it’s impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course, sometimes we have impulses we would rather not control, that we later wish we had."

"The body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was. Then again..."

"We are left with a choice. Either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place, or learn from the guilt and do your best to move on."

"To make it -- really make it -- as a surgeon, it takes major commitment. We have to be willing to pick up that scalpel and make a cut that may or may not do more damage than good. It's all about being committed, because if we're not? We have no business picking up that scalpel in the first place."

"No one believes that their life will turn out just kind of okay. We all think we are going to be great. And from the day we decide to be surgeons, we are filled with expectation. Great expectations of who we will be, where we will go. And then... we get there."

"We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected's just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives."

FREE TIME

Hell Week is coming up.

Actually, kaka-Hell week ko lang.

I just took our last Physics long test earlier. Sana ok 'yung nakuha kong marka doon.

Anyway, update.

I've been crying for the past few days. Ngayon ko lang narealize na mas ok pala kung nilalabas mo kaysa iniipon mo lang sa loob mo.

Haay buhay... I've never been so hopeful in my entire life (i do keep on repeating this statement). Kaya naman, I will try and try, even though I fail. And I'll try harder and harder each time I fall.

Dahil gusto ko... I'll do everything just for this to be done.

Training... love to!

>>>

Good news!

Nagfinals kami sa PE last sunday. PE ko pala is arnis.

Nakasali ako sa inter-class tournament. Guess what? Champion ako sa division namin. Oh yeah!

I love arnis.

>>>

Two weeks more... Babalik na ako sa Davao.
Pray for me people of the world! Yakang-yaka ko ito!

Last friday, we watched the play, The Vagina Monologues, for the Women's week celebration.
Oh yeah! mabuhay ang lahat ng mga Babae!
Sobrang naloka ako sa play. Tawa ako ng tawa, and at the same time sobrang nagkaroon ako ng bagong insights sa pagkababae ng mga babae.
I am so damn proud to be a woman!
Neknek niyo mga lalaki kayo!
Who needs a handgun when you got a semi-automatic?

>>>

Lit proj & finals.
En reflection and research papers.
Fil argumentative paper.
Math reporting (on friday!), last LT, and finals.
Physics finals.

God bless us all!

QUOTING

At the end of a day like this,
a day when so many prayers are answered and so many aren't
we take our miracles where we find them
we reach across the gap
and sometimes
against all odds
against all logic
we touch
~meredith

PART 2

I never knew this could reach part two.

I tried. I failed.

tears fell...

sniff.

dried.

gathered all the senses.

I tried again. t-y-p-e-d. sent.

kept in this optimistic state

that they will reconsider.

>>>

I have never been this hopeful in my whole life.

BOLD AND DARING

I finally e-mailed Pare.

I guess I do not have enough courage to talk to him via the phone (I would end up crying on the other line kung ganoon ang situation).

And so, now, I'm prepared

of

what would happen...

and i'm still me,

doing my best to keep this optimistic self

and hoping... just hoping

that he will reconsider.

>>>

I have a Math LT tomorrow.
Pray for me.
God bless people!
