myBLOGS

Monday. School day. I guess it has become a habit for me to think that every Monday is a start of a weekly reading session until Friday. Okay lang naman sa akin ang pagbabasa eh. Reading feeds the mind and I believe that knowledge is power. Yun nga lang, ayoko lang ng sobra-sobrang pagbabasa tulad ng ginawa ko kanina. I read four chapters of Recuerdo [for my Literature class], a couple of pages for my Sociology class [just to prepare myself for tomorrow's discussion], and lots of research documents AGAIN [for my English thesis]. Minsan kasi, naghahalo-halo ang mga ideya, pangalan at pangyayari. Tao lang naman kasi ako di ba, I'm not a breakneck word processor which can store numerous words and sentences.

I remembered what Ma'am Domingo [my Geography prof] shared with us about man's brain power to store information. There's a question why students lessen their tools for information-keeping as they grow older. Hindi ba't kapag bata ka, mas kaunti pa ang laman ng utak mo? Pero mas malaki ang bitbit na bag ni Totoy. Isang dosenang lapis, isang buong grade one pad. At habang tumatanda siya, pasikip na nang pasikip ang laman ng utak niya kaya may mga pagkakataong mas madaling makalimot ang matatanda. Eh bakit kapag college, madalas iisa na lang notebook mong dala?

Actually, I had two quick answers on that. 1) Habang tumatanda, TUMATAMAD. Hehe. Let's face it. 2) Maturity comes as man grows older. No need for note-taking, just a mere discipline in information-keeping. Reading may be exhausting at a certain extent but then, it's clear in my mind that it's beneficial. It's a continuous profit. By the way, I took a quiz from blogthings on my intelligence. Hehe. I kind of agreed on the results. I guess that's the real "me"

You Have A Type A Personality

You are hyper, energetic, and always on the mood You tend to succeed at everything you attempt And if you don't succeed at first, you quickly climb your way to the top! You could be called a workaholic, but you also make time for fun As long as it's high energy and competitive, you're interested You have the perfect personality for business and athletic success

Ang dunong ay isang kayamanang kailanma'y di mananakaw at walang katumbas na salapi.

It took me a while to stop myself from bewildering how ABS-CBN intensely captured the crowd for that Grand Questor's Night of Star Circle Quest. Pati mga tao sa bahay namin tumutok at lahat ng television sets ay pare-pareho lang ang palabas - channel 2. How I admire ABS-CBN's power to offer such program. Tatlo pa yung locations nilang puro live - sa ULTRA, Tarlac and Davao. Star-studded at talaga namang pinag-planuhan. But then, I also felt that the whole presentation was over-reacted already. Parang inuto nila yung mga tao. Napapatawa na lang ako minsan. No offense but I was kind of ashamed that ABS-CBN simply does that for the sake high rating.

Pursigihin daw ba ang mga taong mag-text nang mag-text para manalong Texter's Choice ang mga questors, regardless of the fact na mas marami pang worth sa pisong ilalaan nila sa pag-text? Pakainin daw ba ng Yakisoba ang mga tao para equivalent to 10 votes ang isang pag-purchase ng cup noodles? Mas marami pa sanang nakain ang mga tao kaysa sa pault-ulit na instant noodles. At huling hirit na nga lang, pagsuotin pa daw ba ng iba't ibang kulay ng shirt ang mga taong gustong manood ng live sa Grand Questor's Night?

Talent search. It definitely became an instant click to the Filipinos. Maybe it's for the reason that we're all dreaming for a better life - na kahit sa telebisyon gusto nating makatunghay ng kwentong may pag-asa. Ang problema lang sa mga Pinoy, grabehan naman maging fanatic. We're not just mere spectators, we take into the scene talaga. Todo bigay. Minsan nagiging eng-eng na taga-hanga.

Erich Gancayco won as the Grand Questor. Gusto daw siya ng mga tao because as young as 14, she can do a lot of stuffs. On my opinion, di ko siya gusto. Ewan ko ba. I kind of prefer Paw. She's more mature when it comes to all the aspects of being a star. Oh well, it's over and the decision was made. Nakakatawang pati ako nadala sa palabas na yun. Okay naman siya eh, bow down talaga ako sa ABS-CBN. But then, how I wish the station would seize the flaming competitive attitude. Sometimes, I'm often mislead of their real purpose. I believe in healthy competition. You don't have to fool and make the people somewhat like dolls in order to gain power, glory and prestige.

A great deal of credibility comes with exceptional skills, hard work and honesty on your work.

Again, I watched volleyball pero grabehan, I didn't like the way UST played a while ago. Nuknukan ng pangit. It was not their true game. Though they won, reaching a fifth set against FEU had left a question mark on my mind. Bakit??? Nasira pa tuloy ang remote control ng tv ko sa sobrang inis. Haha.

Comparable to my life right now. I'm starting to question my sincerity for one person. I thought we had a promise - that we'll keep in touch. That's the issue once more. Nasabi ko na to sa recent blogs ko. I'm starting to put some tiny question marks between the lines yet I cannot put a period on it because still, I don't want to finish things up with us. I just settle with commas and all the signs for abrupt breaks. I'm still in the game. I still care... but I'm starting to unchain. Naiiwan ako sa gitna. Di ko alam kung titigil na ba ko pansamantala at mag-iiwan ng kuwit o iiwan ko nanaman, katulad noon, ang isang sitwasyong puno ng tandang pananong.

Bakit masaya ang college life kamo? Aba. No words are enough to say what's within my college life. Sa kabila ng araw-araw na paggising nang maaga at gabi-gabing pagtambad ng mga gawain, di ko pa rin makakailang masayang mag-aral.

Saan ka pa makakakita ng 50 Journalism Majors na talagang pinaninindigan ang mga kurso nila freshmen pa lang?? Siguro nga tinalagang napadpad ako sa room 211. Sa inaraw-araw ba namang ginawa ng Diyos, wala ng inatupag ang 1jrn1 class kundi magbuka ng bibig!!! Kahit nabibingi na ko sa SUPER DUPER MEGA TO THE 100TH POWER na ingay ng klase, [di yan exagge ah, totoo yan!] I really love this class. Parang walang araw na di ako natatawa sa mga wirdo kong kaklase. May mga pagkakataon mang malungkot o naiinis ako, napapa-bungisngis na lang ako sa mga pinag-gagagawa ng kaklase ko.

5. At may nag-iisang taong kayang gawin yan nang sabay-sabay! [Si Lance!!! Haha.]

Idagdag mo pa ang mga gurong patawa din. Nagulat ako kay Sir Manapat kanina! [my Eco prof]. Eh paano naman kasi, he looked as if very serious tapos bigla na lang babanat ng makalaglag-pustisong punch line! Parang comedy bar tuloy kanina. Nakipagsabayan pa si Sir Baccay [my Logic prof.] Haha. Problema ko tuloy ngayon ay kung paano uunawain ang Logic nang di natatawa. Lagi ko pa ring naaalala ang mga filler jokes niya.

I watched Shakey's Volleyball League on tv and gosh, I really had a great time watching the heart-pounding match of UST vs. Letran! Of course, I am a supporter of the Tigers! Ang lakas ng sigaw ko habang nanonood. Nagtaka nga nanay ko kaya nagising siya at tinignan kung ano ng nangyayari - kung napano na daw ba ko. Na-buang talaga ko sa napaka-exciting na laro ng UST! Go USTe!

I have a new idol! I really admire the line of attack by Roxanne Pimentel. [team captain of UST, jersey #8, & the tallest player of the team] She's a well rounded player but the most remarkable move to watch for is her killer running spike. Madalas kapag nag-rurunning spike siya, sure point agad sa team ng UST. It's as if she leaves a hole in the ground sa sobrang lakas ng palo niya. WAAAH galing-galing talaga. Sana ganun ako kagaling maglaro. I also have this passion for volleyball but it's just that I think I have to loose more weight in order to play better. Hehe. Some people said that I have the height and the interest, but I have to improve more. And Roxanne has inspired me! At mas lalo pa tuloy akong naging proud Tomasian! I'm planning to watch a live game of UST soon. Sana ma-meet at makausap ko nang personal si Roxanne!

my life is like a volleyball game.. heart-pounding.. and sometimes, frustrating too..

For so many weeks, I've been so addicted to volleyball. At naisip ko, minsan pala parang volleyball game din yung mga pangyayari sa buhay ko. May mga pagkakataong na-oout ang bola at nawawala sa akin ang puntos. Natatalo ako. Nalulungkot ako. I have this special friend of mine na kinalungkutan ko kasi para bang tuluyan na niya kong kinalimutan. Para bang wala kaming pinagsamahan. Noon, maayos naman ang takbo ng "rally" ng friendship pero bigla na lang nagkaroon ng "ball error" sa aming dalawa. Hindi ko siya maintindihan. Hindi ko rin alam kung tama bang binura ko na lahat ng messages niya sa cellphone ko at pati ang pangalan niya sa phonebook ko. Naiinis ako sa kanya ngayon kasi sinira niya ang pangakong "to keep in touch". Some people might say that I'm overreacting pero ganun talaga ko, I really value friendship but so many people take for grant my exceptional concern. Too bad. But then again, matalo man o matalo, tuloy ang laro. Tumatakbo ang minuto at tumutunog ang pito. Maiwanan ka mang mag-isa sa pagsalo ng bola, patuloy ka pa ring aasa dahil sa totoo ma't sa hindi, friendship is something mutual. A game of volleyball doesn't run on a solitary movement. Nasa sa kanya na yun at nawa, maayos na ang misunderstanding namin. [Hay, sana mabasa mo itong blog ko]

"I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh. But I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry.. I guess I'm just missing the old times.."

It was a very tiring day yet very fulfilling. Life felt like so adventurous for this day. My feet are still aching. My eyes feel so sluggish. Kung saan-saan ako napunta. Akyat. Baba. Tayo. Lakad. At upo nang panaka-panaka. Right after that wearing English and Geography exams, I went straight home, dressed away my uniform and changed. The rest of the drastic action was on the road, as I traveled to reach my destination. Most of my sweet hour was spent in Taft Avenue. I visited De Lasalle's Library to research. I had a lot of remarkable experiences.

few stuffs I brought home from DLSU.. but still, I carry with me my Thomasian ID.. proud to be one! xD

Green. If you're a collegiate, the first idea that shall come into your mind would be DLSU. Akalain mong pati Mcdonald's sa tabi ng DLSU ay kulay green din? Berdeng bubong, bredeng upuan, at pati punasan ng paa?! Hehe. Napansin ko lang yun, di ko naman sinasabing OA sa green ang Lasalle. I was with Kc again and thank heavens she lend so much of her time accompanying me. Kung hinde, baka na-color blind na ko dun. Isang dilaw na Tomasinong naligaw sa mundong kulay berde. Baka mawala ako kung walang nag-guide sa akin. As I walk through, I can't help but to compare DLSU from UST. Their school is huge. Maybe as huge as ours. Karamihan sa pader nila ay kulay puti. Sa USTe kasi ay pader na bato pa rin, preserving its history. [LOL!] Mahigpit ang pagpapapasok nila ng outsiders and unlike UST which has a church & a hospital open to public. May pagkakataong pwede ang lusot ika nga. By the way, I'm on a research for cellular phone systems. I know that DLSU can offer a lot books about that. At hindi ako nabigo. Actually, ako nga ang napasuko sa dami. Napagod nang husto ang katawan ko sa pagbabasa, paghahanap at pag-akyat manaog. Ang hi-tech pa ng systems nila. And I kind of enjoy the campus environment. May mga gwapo pa kong nakita. Haha.

I had a different perspective of DLSU right now. I used to pinch some "pintas" on them before. Kesho puro conyo lang, or yabang sa UAAP, or yaman lang ang katapat. But right now, I appreciated how good DLSU is when it comes to quality education. Di rin naman pala lahat ng tao dun ay conyotics or maangas tignan. Halos pareho lang siguro ang UST sa DLSU. There may be certain differences, but I was fortunate to see the comparable side - picturesque environment, friendly-looking people, and the two universities both contain a distinct pride that students can yell out to his fellow friends. Ngayon, ma-aapreciate ko na rin sigurong magsuot ng green, gumamit ng green na gamit at.. MAG-ISIP NG GREEN?!? Hahaha. I'm looking forward to visit that school again.

Do not judge a book by its cover. Delve into the essentialities of a thing first before putting a word to it.

Ano pang mas sasarap sa pag-nguya ng Boy Bawang na babad sa suka habang nagpupuyat sa pag-aaral? Salamat pala kay Ronald [my cousin], na naisipan akong alukin ng Boy Bawang sa sala kanina. Nagising ang dugo sa tamis-asim na linamlam.

Masyado daw maalat at walang ka-susta-sustansiya ang Boy Bawang. Masama sa katawan. Sasakit lang daw ang ngipin mo sa pagkain. Close to being a "junk food" na raw yun kaya nakakabobo din daw...... Engkk. I strongly disagree. Aba. Kahit papaano nalamanan ang kumakalam na tiyan ko dahil sa pagkaing iyan. And believe me, while I'm eating, I was able to relate it with what I'm studying! Haha. I was on my Eco review [topic on Law of Diminishing and Marginal Utility] and you know, my "eclectic" imagination went wild once more. "Ilang piraso kaya ang dapat kong i-nguya para matamo ang maximum level satisfaction?!" LDMU says kasi na as you consume one good at a time, your satisfaction shall increase, reach its maximum and then eventually, it shall decrease. LOL! I just went laughing hard, alone in the living room and I really enjoyed my Boy Bawang snack. Di ko namalayang nag-aaral pa pala ko. Learning can be that much fun, through simple means and ways.

Minsan pala, maaari mong i-ugat at ikabit ang mga bagay-bagay upang mas maunawaan mo ang mga ito.

Prelim exam week na. The chase has just started and I'm in the sphere of struggling to stay alive. I retrieved a bit of satisfaction from my Journalism exam a while ago. Proud akong sa isang part ng test na 20-item identification, I'm sure with 16. Hehe. Nag-aral naman ako kaya kompyansa akong may nai-tinta ang itim na bolpen ko. Puyat man pero bawi ang lahat. I just hope that for the next few days, I shall get more vengeance - kahit sa Prelims man lang makahinga nang maluwag muli ang nanganganib kong grades.

Ayoko na sana ang ganitong pine-pressure ang sarili kong kakayahan at grades, pero dahil nasimulan na nga, eh di ituloy na lang. It's a way of easy pursuit na rin siguro. Naalala ko yung sabi ni Jairuz sa akin [my classmate na katabi ko kaninang Journ exam], "swerte mo nga eh DL ka. Okay lang yang mag-expect para mataas ang grades palagi." Well.. somehow he has a point. It's just that I easily get frustrated when I fail.

Buti na lang pala, BILOG ANG MUNDO. May nalulugaran ang isang pessimist na tulad ko upang maging optimist muli. Nakakamanghang isipin ang takbo ng buhay - minsan nasa ibaba ka at hinihila pailalim pero darating din ang panahong aangat kang muli at mangingibabaw ka sa itaas. Habang nasa tugatog ka, lasapin mo ang matamis na tagumpay para muli mong panabikan ito.

Life's an everyday struggle for a new target. Always aim high. Feel its rewarding essence the moment you get hold of it..

Naranasan niyo na bang nagkakasabay-sabay ang malas sa iisang araw? All in one ba. Kulang na lang ay magtanong ako sa feng shui expert kung ano ba ang nagpa-malas sa araw kong ito. Gustuhin ko mang patinuin ang nakakasirang araw ito, napaka-pangit na niya upang maayos pa. Biyernes pa man din ngayon, ang paborito kong araw. Akala ko makakahinga na ko nang maluwag-luwag pero patuloy pa rin ang pagdagsa ng kamalasan.

Malapit na ang Prelims kaya para akong nakikipaghabulan sa oras at ang buhay ko'y nakapako sa kamay ng orasan. Para bang alipin ako ng bawat sandali, sunud-sunuran ng mga gawain, at di ko magawa ang mga bagay ayon sa kagustuhan ko. At kung minsan pa, maglalaan ka na nga ng panahon para sa mga yun, pumapalpak ka pa. Ang pagsusulit namin sunud-sunod kaya't sunud-sunod din ang paglagpak ko. Sunud-sunod ang frustrations. Too bad. Ninais kong bumawi kaya ilang beses ko ng dina-download yung notes sa Geography para makapag-aral na sa Prelims pero sa di ko mawaring dahilan, ayaw pa rin niyang ma-save! Ang bagal-bagal pa ng internet. Idagdag mo pa ang pasaway na computer mouse kong makunat. Nag-rent ako sa internet cafe kasi naisip kong baka dun ma-save ang notes sa Geo. Na-save ko naman pero pagdating ko sa bahay para i-print, nasira ang hinayupak na diskette! Tinext ko si Luis (my classmate) para humiram na lang na-download na notes sa diskette, pero di na siya nag-reply! Sinubukan kong tumawag, pero wala ng sumasagot sa kanila! Harhar na di ba?! Nasadlak na lang ako sa labis na panghihinayang. I thought I'm going to accomplish something great right now.

I hate this feeling of giving too much effort and soon I'll find out that at the end, I will still fail. I'm sick and tired of being frustrated. I just hope I can repair these malfunctions immediately. There's still a lot of things to accomplish ahead of me...

Make it a point to do something every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.

Arrgh. I just stared at the time. Napatunganga na lang ako habang unti-unting yumuyuko ang talukap ng dalawang mata ko. Windang Mode ako. Sana Marso na.

Nakakatamad na sigurong subaybayan itong blog ko sa mga panahong puro thesis ang nasa utak ko. Tssss. Wala na akong nahihinuha kundi ang isumpa ang thesis paper. Pero totoo naman eh. I can't use any flowery words anymore in my entries - the mere fact that right now, I have no time anymore to make my miserable life translated into expressive words. This feeling inside cannot be perfectly put into words. IM SO DOOMED.

Sabi ni Ma'am, "Pagkatapos ng thesis paper na yan, para kang nanganak. Paid off. At nasa akin na ang lahat ng hirap sa pagbabasa (laughs)." Isa lang ang nasabi ko sa nalilitong isipan ko kanina, "..harinawa, dumating na ang araw na yun". At katulad nga siguro ng panganganak, walang makapagsasabi ng tunay na pakiramdam kapag windang ka sa isang thesis paper. Harhar. Crap. xxx

Everyone seems to be very busy researching and making some "filling in" for their thesis. Rarr, ako din. Since this thesis thing has started, every school day turned as a burden for all of us because you know, you're required to do some book scans and read tons of papers. Nagkakatotoo na yung sabi ni Ma'am Rodriguez [my english prof.] na aabot sa puntong magiging parte na ng pang-araw-araw na buhay mo ang thesis paper - mapapanaginipan mo gabi-gabi at halos maisuka mo na ang salitang "thesis". Exaggerated? No. It's true. Kanina nga lang eh, naganap ang ganung pangyayari. Akalain mong magtatagpo ang thesis findings at ang real life experience ko.

IS CELLULAR PHONE USAGE A NECESSITY FOR FILIPINO TEENAGERS? >> that's our topic. We've been searching for significant reasons and proofs for that question since then. Ang totoo, mahirap maghanap ng libro para diyan kasi kailan lang yan naging isyu sa Pilipinas. Mahilo-hilo akong naghahanap niyan kung saan-saan. Actually, I even went to Kc's house a while ago to browse over some magazines and.. one significant event caught my attention that made me stop from turning the pages of the magazine I'm handling.

According to the articles I read, 33% of the Filipino population or 16.8 million Filipinos own a cellular phone for different purposes. One of which is for the purpose of EASY communication. Kumabaga, kung nasa Batanes ka at ang nais mong makausap ay nasa Sultan Kudarat, you can utilize the cell phone to obtain your desire to communica

te. As easy as one text message, you can say a lot of things, impart feelings and get some information already. A friend texted me at around 5pm. Surprisingly, she was with that someone special in my heart. She told me a lot of stuffs that happened within the day and you know, I just uttered the words, "..buti na lang naimbento ang text mesaging! Eh di sana, di ko nalaman ang mga detalyeng ito. Nakakatuwa talaga at gumaan ang loob ko habang sumasabak sa mala-giyerang thesis na ito.." From then on, I found a diminutive luminosity, deserting me from the abyss. Minsan, mahirap sagutin ang mga tanong pero sa mga simpleng pagkakataon, maaari mong makasalubong ang mga sagot. Kaya mahalaga ang experiences. The more experiences you have, the more you obtain additional chances of grasping some answers in life.

Kaya naisip ko, kahit mahirap ang thesis, tuloy ang pagsusunog ng kilay, paglalaan ng nakakahilong sandali at nakakaburaot na pagbabasa. Di lang naman dahil sa school requirement siya di ba. Rather, it's for the purpose of EXPERIENCE. =)

The best training can be bestowed upon the experience. Never let the chance slip unto your hands.

The weather feels chilly today. My muscles are aching [dahil sa p.e ulit] and it's as if I wanna sleep as early as 8pm. Gusto ko na sanang i-shut down itong pc ko pero.. hehe, ang "adik ay adik talaga magbago man ang panahon." Nakisabay nanaman ang panahon sa mood ko. I'm like a polar bear in north pole hunting for her own pied-à-terre [house]. All day seems to be snoozing.

Nothing much today. Di ko na pinasukan yung 4-hour talk kanina. Honestly, tinatamad talaga ko. Ewan ko ba. Mas ginusto kong mahiga, yumakap sa unan at mag-hikab maya't maya. Nawalan ako ng paki sa kahit ano. Para bang may isang virus na biglang umatake at nagpapaantok sa akin. Nabura sa memory kong marami pang dapat i-copy, i-edit, o i-select all button para maayos ko ang lahat ng bagay sa buhay-eskwela ko. Daig ko pa ang computer ko kung mag-hibernate. I just went back to UST to attend my favorite subject, Sociology.

Ma'am Peppin [my Socio prof.] is simply astounding. She has tons of stories and jokes to tell. Kulang ang one and a half hour class. She's an icon for me. Para bang di siya nag-hihibernate. She has gone far pero patuloy pa rin siyang nagtuturo sa mga estudyanteng pinagkakautangan daw niya ng kung ano siya ngayon. Astig. Suddenly, ang nakakaantok na sandali ay binuhay ng mga halakhak at ningning sa aking mga mata. Nagising ang polar bear. Na-refresh ang screen monitor ko mula sa pagkaka-hibernate.

"Aja!.." Yan ang madalas sabihin ni Vivian sa Korean-teledrama na Lovers in Paris. Feeling ko katulad ko na rin siya ngayon. Marami nanaman akong pinagdaraanan. Pilit na nakikisabak sa laban.

Pasukan na ulit. Tapos na ang maliligayang araw ng Christmas vacation. Sometimes, it feels like hell when I'm schooling. Why? Because you have to wake up so early again, you can't do all the things that you used to do and settle the things that the school requires you in order to pass.

A while ago, I went to the library for our thesis research. It was so wearing to research, to get hold of the book that you need and damn, it's hard to reach the 6th floor! Nakakatunaw ng taba. Nakakatigang ng ngalangala. Tapos pag-uwi mo, gutom na gutom ka. Ang sakit na ng ulo ko. Gusto mong matulog pero marami pang ginagawa. More papers came into my sight ang I just want to give up. Nakakapagod pero wala kang magawa kundi gumawa na lang nang gumawa! Nandiyan na eh, isubo mo na lang kaysa tanggihan mo pa.

Pero sabi nga, no pain, no gain. Ako pa naman yung taong palaban at mahilig tumanggap ng hamon. Through this experience, I learned to fight more. Ika nga, kapag lalo kang sinisiksik, dapat mas tumindi ang iyong pang-didikdik; habang lalong pinipisil, dapat lalong manggigil.

Take risks. Be strong. At the end of the road, the strong ones shall rise among all.

Kung kailan pa may okasyon, saka pa ako nagkasakit! Kahapon pa akong inuubo at nilalagnat. I celebrated new year with a bit of sickness, para bang sumabay ang putok ng ubo ko sa putok ng plapla. But thank goodness I was able to overcome the lazy mood. Though I feel so worn out, I tried to look as if I'm very energetic. Lumabas pa nga ako ng bahay eh - nagsindi ng paputok, nagtatatalon, at lumanghap ng pulburang usok. Sumunod ako sa paniniwalang kung anong gagawin mo sa bagong taon, yun ang mangyayari sa iyo para sa buong taon. Aba siyempre, ayoko namang maging matamlay for the year 2005 noh! Nagpalayas ako ng mga malas through fireworks and believed that in the year of the rooster, titilaok ako nang husto. Isang manok na hindi uubo-ubo.

So I waved goodbye to year 2004. It was a year of new experiences clashed occasionally with the past memories too. 2004 was the year I opened a brand new chapter in my life, which is my hilarious college life and somehow tried to detach from the high school days where I had a hard time letting it go. Naalala ko pa ang mga panahong naninibago ako sa bago kong mundo at ninais kong magbalik sa mundong nakasanayan ko na. Pero, natutunan ko ding "life must go on" and there are so many things to look forward to in the next phase of life. I also remembered the hard times where I almost stumbled and gave up. But then, thank heavens there are those real people by my side who still strengthens me so much. Anumang mangyari, sa mga panahong akala mo nag-iisa ka na at nag-aalinlangan ka, may mga taong handang damayan ka. Sila ang mga bahagharing natanaw ko kagabi. Kasabay ng pagliwanag ng mga fireworks at ang masayang pagsalubong ko sa bagong taon, nagpasalamat ako't "I can still survive!'

Kahit may sakit ako, alam kong gagaling din ako. Hehe. Maybe you just have to think positive in life at all times. Salamat pala sa mga bahagharing nagpapaliwanag ng madidilim kong gabi. Dahil sa inyo, nahihinuha kong sa bawat paghihirap, may karampatang "ginto" sa dulo nito.

Take a little baby.. see the butterflies` colors.. listen to the birds that were sent to sing for me and you.. Can you feel me.. this is such a wonderful place to be.. Even if there is pain now, everything will be alright.. For as long as the world still turns there will be night and day.. Can you feel me.. There's a rainbow always after the rain..
