Hi, y’all!! Whaddup??? 
Well, it’s a pretty Monday morning and I’m feelin’ pretty fine today!
Well, it’s still the first hour in the morning and I already have a reason to laugh at my crazy self…
See..I woke up from this dream(you guess the dream) and when I got up
from bed, I was frantic…I rushed to my cabinet, jerked my towel out
and hurriedly went to the bathroom…
But just as I reached the bathroom door, I stopped and
thought…."Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Wala nay klase karon uy!!!
Tangi!!!"…hehehehehehe!!!
Figures, school’s over…but I’m not over school
yet"?"….OOOOOOOWWWWSSS?!? Hahaha…Nah..I’m just having hangovers,
probably. I mean, helloooo…I went through a series of sleepless
nights…breakfastless mornings(ay mali!! that’s not breakfastless..less breakfast lang hihi!)…endless love ESTE,endless list of
requirements…movieless weekends…uh wut else..uh..basta ung iba pang
words na may postfix na less, yun na yun..lol!
God, it’s been a loooooooooooooooooong semester..a
tough one,too. I actually thought it was never gonna end. It’s my third
semester as a college student and well, it was only this time that I
was able to say to myself.."this is college…". When we were in first
year, I
often complained about stuff like ang dami namang requirements…ang
bilis naman ng deadline..etc etc. And well, now that I’ve experienced
what it’s like to be a 2nd year "IT" stude, I thought that maybe, while
I was uttering those words of protest some 8 months ago, Mr.
2nd-Year-IT-College-life was right at my back saying…"Wait ’til you
get here you grouchy freak!". Hehehe!!! And now, I could almost hear
his voice saying.."See..told ya you weren’t feeling the fun yet!!".
FUN?..Hmm…wonder if I’d call it fun..lemme
see..uhh..hmm…yeah! I’d resolve to calling it fun. Coz
ironically,(I’m havin a hard time absorbing what I’m saying right
now..) I had fun!!! Well, maybe because I’m the type of person who
always makes it a point to have fun no matter how difficult a situation
is(char!). Wala lang I just believe life should be fun..that’s
all!!!
Anyway..on the serious side…(mao na ni..)
All those things…trials, tribulations,
distress(dont they all mean the same?lol!)..everything that we
experienced during this chapter of our College life were all intended
to acquaint us with the real score of living college..to test us..as
individuals..and as a group..as friends, for that matter.
Test me as an individual…hm…did it??? Sure it
did!(heck sure!) It tested my persistence,my control, my focus…taught
me how to balance my time. I’ve learned how it’s like to work
methodically despite of some distractions(hmm..distraction
jud kaha?..lol!..But no really, sometimes that *issue could be of great
distraction to one’s concentration..hihihi!!)
You see, it wasn’t at all easy, what we went
through..it wasn’t even in the same vicinity as easy. But hey, I
learned a lot from it. And the lessons I learned go beyond those that
come from the four walls of the classroom. I learned how it’s like to
be patient (slight!hihi!)..I learned that friendship, true friendship,
entails acceptance(a helluva lotta acceptance). It is in frantic times
like that, where our true selves come out. We tend to be
moody..irritable..tetchy..especially when we cram. And sometimes,
though unintentionally, we tend to affect people around us. And in
times like these, tolerance..great tolerance is required. And yes, it
is in these moments when the question would pop out.."Do you accept
him/her?"..As your lawfully wedded husband or wife?!?!?hihih!! Nah..as
your friend,of course..Are you willing to embrace the fact
that,well..we’re humans..and we all have our negative sides.
We’re not oblivious to that fact, I know. but in vexing times like
these, that fact is slapped to our face. And it’s a good thing..coz it
gives us a reason to assess ourselves..to assess our friendship..and
eventually make it move a step forward.
Whew! I’m lost for words right here…still can’t
believe the sem is fin’lly over! Still haven’t absorbed the fact that
well, it’s time to relax and unwind. And speaking of uwinding..we had
one about 5 days ago..the day after we had our defense. Me and my
classmates went out to have fun..and ha!!! You wouldn’t believe the fun
we all had..Some of us were still a bit snappy..mga wala pay
tulog…mga lago pag dagway…mga stressed out pa, and everything.(Init
pa jud ang adlaw! Pirti!). There were shut-the-heck-up moments at the
early part of the day. But when swimming time came…hahaha!!! We all
forgot about everything…we were all so crazy…mura mig nakabuhi sa
hawla!!! LOL!!! It was pretty clear that we needed a lot of unwinding.
The video Irene took of us would show that..lol!! We were all just
laughing like crazy..even Manong Wowowee(the 70-sumthin-yr-old
owner/driver of the boat we
rented..whatta name,huh?!) and the other people around us, were
enthused with our infectious laughters…and with the fun we were
having. Feeling namo kami tag-iya sa
dagat..loL!!! Whew! That was one unwinding
moment that I would never ever forget. And it wouldn’t have been that
fun and memorable if the sem wasn’t as tough as it was. I mean
hey..that was, out of the many outings, the most DEstressing(not DIstressing)one we had..
Whew! Hoooo! Heeee! Haaaa! (Wut other terms express
relief? I wanna say ‘em all!!). I survived! Thank God! Tapos na rin
lahat. And I’ve got lotsa people to thank for that…there’s God, for
all the strength and guidance..I would never have endured the test if
it weren’t for Your presence..then there’s my mentors..for the very
challenging(or rather…VERY CHALLENGING..as in capital
letters..!hehe..) semester and for everything you’ve all taught us..we
could never ever pay you back..and then there’s my family..especially
my Mom, who’s been soooooo understanding and supportive through all of
this(tamad na kaayo ko dri sa balay pero hala..chokz lng
ghapon!)..thankz talga Ma, as in! I’ll be forever grateful for that
support. And then of course, I’ve got my classmates and friends to
thank….for being a part of this episode of my life! I wouldn’t be my
whole me if it weren’t for your presence and friendship!! I’ve learned
a lot of things from being with you all!! Sooooobra!!! Thankz mga
choi!!! And lastly, I would like to thank uh…Ystilo Salon for my hair
and make up..Vicky Belo…Marcella’s for my accessories..hihihi!!!
Juuust kiddin’! Mao na ni epekto sa stress! LOL!
Hmm….
Well..the very trying and tiring semester may be
over…but college life? ha! It has just began…More trials are ahead
of us…ones which would prepare us for the real world. My only hope is
that we would survive it just as we did this semester. And I hope the
bond we had would be stronger…and the friendship would linger on
forever…with God at the center…(ano ba yan, bakti puro "er
er"..lol! But I’m serious when I said that..truly!).
Whew! It’s all over, peepz…but not just yet…
God bess us all!!!!
Hey,y’all…sup? What have y’all been up
Hindi talaga..sa totoo lang
It is so torturing a fact that I have to keep this from you...But if that's what fate wants me to do...then so be it...
After all, I am in no place to be fighting for what I feel...
Why did it have to be you,anyway?Why did my heart choose to knock on your door...
This heart of mine is as stubborn as a mule...it does not do as I say...But then, I guess that's what our hearts are always like...stubborn...they decide for themselves...
And so now what else am I to do...but to keep this to myself....keep this form you...and never let you know...
I could fall in love with you...
