| far beyond what i could see | |||
| "as far as I can tell, there's nothing more I need" (Octavarium) So I got to enrol normally naman. Late though, and that week was so stressful. I'm just thankful for a pretty pretty woman:D and now the semester is in full swing. The freshmen are quite an unruly bunch this year, but I don't know for sure, maybe my batch is just a dull one. Can I just say my heart is palpitating and I think my stomach's slightly upset. This is what I get for getting up at 5am this morning to go to drawing class with nothing but the coffee in my system. And drawing is quite the waste of time! I had to skip lunch just to complete the plate, and slept at Math building just to be able to take a test properly (additionally that power nap was all I needed, I'm feeling quite confident about that first exam). First meal came at around 3pm, oven-toasted tonkatsu and some chips. I had to be getting to Taft avenue kase. Not really the best of days. I have two Philosophy classes this sem. I want to actually learn the Logic course (Philo11), however Philosophical Analysis (Philo1) tends to be more interesting eh. Ah well, at least it's that way. I don't like the Philo1 class but it's got more dynamic discussion which passes the time more quickly than the other class. I don't know, maybe it's a bit early for me to be taking Philosophy. Plus I have my Math and Physics to think about pa. And drawing! You cost me so much time!!!
it was nice to know we have the same fears. it'll make it easier to battle them, cos we already have an idea what sort of reassurance we need. you know i'll be there always, and thursday morning was great indeed. don't worry, i guess you're needed by more people here. 'i hold sunlight and swallow fireflies; it makes me want to cry.' gusto ko mag-mahjong. Mga pagbabati: kris come home naaaaaa, ate cay, wazer, icy, jana, sandro, gaille, adrao, sunrise gang |

So what've I been doing since Saturday?
On the way to Greenhills last night I saw a dead body lying in the middle of the road. Bloodied face, chunks of flesh around what used to house a man. Needless to say it was very shocking "I need a cigarette" "me too" and a wtf? moment. First off there aren't supposed to be any pedestrians on SLEX anyway. What was thought-inducing though was there wasn't a single stopped vehicle in sight, so whoever (i assume) ran him over just left the scene. When we passed it there was a policeman on a motorbike on the way to where the body lay, it must've been very recent lang. Very alarming indeed. Good thing I wasn't alone. In UP, if you don't get to enlist in your subjects online, you go to school to enlist manually. Usually it's Gen Educ subjects which you don't get to enlist in, and you have to go to the individual departments to secure a slot. Personally, registration sucked this sem. I only have 10 units in my form, I need to get three subjects pa. It was horrible! I had to go get a lottery number for a slot in Engineering Drawing, and that subject cost me so much. I wasn't able to enlist other subjects because I was fixing it. Pagdating ko sa department na kailangan, hindi na open ang slots for my family name, o kaya ubos na ang slots, o kaya lunch break, basta wala talaga akong makuhang subject. Hello pre-rog. I'm currently watching the Justine Henin-Hardenne v. Kim Clijsters semifinal. Hope Justine wins this one, as Clijsters is a tough one to beat. Henin-Hardenne is the defending champion for the French Open. Mga pagbabati: UP friends who are manually enlisting, eLeS, dino, daven, jana, jim jimenez, blah:) |

| in review | |||
| So the gig got called off again. I guess I was pushing for many success stories this summer. And now
I just realized, none of my plans worked out. It was the unplanned and unexpected things which balanced out and redeemed my failures
of the summer. First off, I failed summer class. I was confident in my abilities at the start of the class, but no, my professor was a doctor. He never reached out to his students, never asked us if we got the lesson. In essence he wasn't teaching at all. He was merely saying what he knew about calculus in front of an audience. Although I do know the fault was not entirely his. In fact it was probably largely mine. And now my transcript has a hole. Permanently reflected: singko sa math54. Irresponsible summer. In my defense, that course is one of the toughest to pass in UP Diliman. Hundreds (?) fail every sem. I also had a few projects which I started, but never got to finish. Mostly not my fault, but they still weigh heavily on me. Examples include: the FYU website, two gigs for 1o8 which were called off, the makeover for my site (nikki: "divs are love! tables are so 90s!"), and several things I wanted to buy. Those from the top of my head, surely, there's more. Well, I don't really have a point here, just that the summer didn't go as nicely as planned. If I had written them down in a planner or some other thing, maybe I would've followed the schedule for specific goals. Or it could've looked really good "on paper only". Ah well, I'm hungry na. We threw a surprise party for Joey last night. Ang kulit ni Owel ehh, kuyang kuya. It's nice to see that kind of thing. Though plans weren't followed and didn't have the desired effect, it's still nice to see the person who planned it pouring much effort into making whatever turn out as best as it possibly could. At least Joey's birthday was a happy one for him, or so he said. Needless to say, Joey wasn't the only one who got a surprise;) And the redeeming factor of it all? What you could call my (ahck!) love life. It came upon me in the weeks between graduation time and summer classes. I hadn't expected anything like it, and to be perfectly honest I was prepared for just a fling or summer romance of sorts, and that was only if ever she had any feelings for me as well. But no, I tend to expect the opposite all the time when it comes to relationships. And this time, the opposite of my expectations is a good thing. A very good thing. I remember when I was 'sold' na, (parang bumibili ng bagay ah), well, when I realized I was willing to commit. I said something about wanting to be holding her hand for years. She asked me if I was serious and I was worried that I had just scared her away. I made up something, to give myself a way out of sorts (very good save actually, I believe). Turns out she wanted that too, and it was one of the defining moments. I see friends and older friends and meeting many new people. I'm seeing how serious I have to be. I guess, there comes a point where you just can't pick to keep your childhood anymore. Some people don't have that choice, and the people who do get to keep the spark of youth inside them are fortunate. It's just that life and the real world is getting very near and we've to prepare for it. This is the reality of life. Anyway, my stomach's seriously complaining na, so I'll go. And I'm off to a wedding (?!?!) today. Mga pagbabati: belated happy birthday greetings (thessa, gerliz, joey, joshua); people at joey's last night; people at karla's last night (except maybe 'the gross man'); people I can talk about the French Open to; kris and her friends |
