Thank You! :)

~ blessed :) ~

--that's how i really feel right now for once again, a term (my 5th term to be exact) has come to its close..and luckily, i was still able to survive it :)

..with another wish granted, nonetheless *grin*

to tell you the truth, reader, this term had been really difficult..and i think a lot of people would agree with me on that..at the beginning, it was as if nothing was really happening but then all the work load came up later and to make things worse, they poured down all at the same time..waaaaa..

quizzes and project papers in comsta2..
[this was the least hassle subject for me, though..dr. malaya put everything in order..and i'm glad she was my prof *grin* quotable quotes, anyone? :p]

reading assignments, reaction papers and play festivals in litera1..
[not too difficult either..except for the last few days of preparing for the play fest..*thank you miss pe*]

looooooong and confusing reading assignments in intphil..
[not too much work..occassional major stuff..but my brain was drained with the essays! sheesh! thankful for the grade though..whew! ..sir dennis was..well, uhm..err..interesting..for the lack of words, hahaha :D ]

weird and confusing lessons and tiresome final project in econtwo..
[so much confusion, so little understanding (and time)...at first things were fine but when dr. dakila left..oh my..i don't even wanna go there (hehehe :p) well, it wasn't THAT bad (he did try..A for effort i guess? :p) the final project..H-A-S-S-L-E! :p but the presentation wasn't bad though..and no regrets with the prof :p]

embarrassing midterm case, stressful marketing plan and draining final exam in market1..
[waaaa..*worst defense for midterms* ..*almost NO FACE VALUE* ..*cheaters ahoy for finals* .. uber loooooooong paperworks..and not-so-nice grade..oh well, it's all over..and at least someone i know was happy in that class.. :D]

steady lessons but fluctuating performance in finama1
[not as difficult as accom subjects..had enough time for the project paper..learned a lot..but i guess all the stress from the other subjects (or merely my laziness) pulled my grades down..oh, and the final exam was sheer murder..*shot gun attack for 30 items woohoo!*.. love ms. go though..she's really nice :p]

all those hell days and weeks WERE really hell..hahaha..but hey, as of now, they are all but a distant memory..yipee! :)

thank you to all the PEOPLE who helped me get through this term..you know who you guys are.. :)
no need for special mentions or stuff like that coz i know that you all know you've helped me a lot..*in all aspects, hehe* and for those who have no idea that they've helped me through their small ways, still, i give my thanks..*hugstoeveryone*

THANK YOU EVERYONE! :)

5 more terms to go..wow..

i still can't believe it..

*oh, before i forget, thanks chi for the nice time we had strolling along cubao last night :D bonding...hahaha :)*

God bless! :D

~ recipe for a happy day :) ~

:)

-- at about 3:30am this morning, jon and i were able to finish our first batch of work load! reader, if you could only see the big pile of survey sheets that we've gone through, you'll be so proud of us, considering the fact that we finished them within 2 days! woohoo! :p although i haven't had a decent night's sleep for quite a while now (well, starting the week before finals..) it's all good..we both ended up with a sigh of relief.. :p (hopefully, the rewards will be great! wehehe..)

(recharging for the next batch :p)

-- since we finished at 3:30 already, i decided to attend misa de gallo..the decision was influenced by people who we're online with me this morning..(who were apparently waiting for the mass as well) :D hahaha :p i wonder if the wish thing would really work...hmmm..well, sad to say, i'm not qualified for that anymore..hehehe..i'd still attend the remaining days though.. :)

i went alone by the way..loser? hahaha..nah..my cousins here at home are not catholic and my sister was still walking around dreamland..so i had no choice but to go alone..it was quite calming actually..looove walking before dawn..the chilly breeze was welcoming.. :)

it was a nice celebration..although there were a lot of people (and that's not unusual of course) it was all good..i had fun observing people especially this couple who was in front of me..(sooo mushy and they were both wearing pink, haha :p) a presentation that was done before the gospel reading wasn't bad either..guess who was one of the actors?? ta-da.. a market1 classmate..haha :o we got to talk for a while after the mass..hehe..

i went home afterwards..the sky was already light blue when i reached home :) i picked up the newspaper went upstairs, texted a few people then went straight to bed..zzzzz :)

-- i woke up at about 11am, i think..chi and tessa were in the room telling me that there was a surprise..tessa told me that there would be a party..(i already knew that! :p) but then i found out the real surprise! i couldn't believe it! juno is here! waaaaah! all those "serious" telephone discussions regarding the matter of him not wanting to go here were all staged...even jon was caught off guard when he opened the gate..mwahahaha :D sooo happy..went downstairs and gave him (juno) a hug..hehe..mika was here too! yey! :) had some funny moments with my cousins and mika while preparing for lunch.. :)

-- had a wonderful lunch (for all the december birthday celebrants) with the carino clan (tita malen's side of the family)..it was sooo fun..haven't seen these people since forever and here we all were.. :D everyone was all grown up and happy to see each other..dati, kami kami yung mga little kids na magugulo and maiingay..but now, there was a new batch of kids running around in circles in the house..wow..*nostalgic moment* i missed "the old days" even more as i watched the kids have fun..hahaha..

of course there was sooo much food..tsk tsk tsk.. :p we even blew a cake again! haha..what else? hmm..pictures of course! and the game where we played with match sticks (apparently, the big kids were allowed to play with fire, mwehehehe :p) bits and pieces of stories from the grown-ups every now and then..hayyy..(i think it's been about 10 years already.. :p)

-- i got a text from a long lost friend during lunch :) sooo happy to hear from that person again :) a lot of my friends (elementary and high school) have been making contact again recently and i'm really happy about that :) hehehe

-- after lunch, we (jon, tep, juno, mika, tessa, me and chi) decided to jog/play soccer at the UP-D oval..well, we didn't exactly jog..we just hung-out..saw the really really cute dogs there..kicked some balls (soccer balls :p ) and took a few pics..we had a nice time :) went home at about 6pm..

-- i received a phone call from a friend after dinner..awww..really miss that person (even if that person did forget to greet me last week :p hehe..) i was kinda caught off guard though so we ran out of things to say..hehehe..but i was really glad about that phone call :)

now, the day's almost over but i'm glad that i still have this smile on my face...

Thank God it was a great day

:)

~ a wish come true :) ~

It is officially 2:07AM of December 11, 2006 as I write this (although i have no idea when i'll be able to post this coz i'm quite busy)...of course, first, i would like to greet my cousin HANNA coz it's her birthday today :p cool right? the end of my day signals the start of hers ..hehe.. :)

anyway, waaaah! i still can't believe i'm 18! I don't really think it's a big deal...hmmm..maybe the thing that's not such a big deal for me is turning 18 itself..AKA my birthday...I mean, every year, ever since my 13th or 14th birthday, I've been having really not-so-happy birthdays that I would rather not remember them...well, it's not to say that everything goes bad for that specific day..but there was always something which would either make me really sad or angry...ewan ko, ang malas malas ko lang talaga siguro when it comes to my birthday...there was even a time when i really wanted to skip that day completely coz it never was a happy day for me...
this was my reason why ever since last year, i started to have only ONE single major wish for my birthday...and that is to be truly, truly happy for that day...my day :) i mean i really wished from the bottom of my heart that even if i didn't have anything tangible for that day, basta masaya ako, ok na yun sa akin :)

(oh di ba, kaya mo ba ang drama ko? )

I think my wish was granted last year during my 17th birthday...yeah, i was stuck in my dorm for the whooooole day STUDYING for my exams (with my rooommie Glenna! mishu much!) but a bunch of things and people made me really really happy. (thanks guys, even if you don't remember ) That was the birthday that ended my not-so-happy birthday marathons...

It was a simple birthday...I attended Mass in the morning and started studying when i got back..Oh! my Family was here! I was sooo happy coz they came at the eve of my birthday when all along i thought they would be coming today (well, yesterday, technically ) ..anyway, I stopped studying to eat lunch and have my latest birthday celebration ever since my so-called 7th birthday (where i was sick and couldn't enjoy nor taste the three cakes that were given to me..sad noh?) I had sooo much fun today especially when i saw my VERY PINK AND GIRLY CAKE (care of chi hahaha..thanks!) Also, my lola got back from the hospital just in time for my celebration...awwww..I was really happy today! :)

Of course, not to forget, THANK YOU to all the people who greeted me personally, through phone, YM, friendster, multiply and text...you know who you guys are...yung mga super nauna at yung mga malakas ang trip na kunyari eh nakalimot...hahaha :)

If turning 18 is not such a big deal for me, I guess being 18 is...I mean, I'll get to do a bunch of things that I wasn't able to do when I was still a minor...ah...I don't want to enumerate..Basta, yun na muna!

Hmmm...how do I feel right now? I'm ok, I think it's just an ordinary day but...NO. erase that line...It wasn't just an ordinary day...at this moment, I'm really happy, and for me, that's what matters

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TO ME!! :)

To everyone, thank you for making my wish come true! I LOVE you all so much!

P.S. my gift for myself, my own star named after me! yey! see it here! http://www.yourstar.com/star_lookup.php?star_id_1=9513860&star_id_2=77 :)

~ the looong weekend.. ~

it was quite productive actually but it could have been better if i hadn't gotten sick..but it's all good now..i'm recovering :)

what i did for the weekend:

..got some rest..although i was still flooded with an overload of papers..waaah :p (i'm almost done! yey!)

..got to ~~talk~~ chat/text with some long lost friends..some of which were long forgotten classmates during elementary (maynard and shesther..mwehehe)..can't believe we still remember each other :p hahaha..of course, not to forget my high school classmates/buddies (mark joseph, joseph/otep, melvin/beben, miguel, maan and sienna) whom i really miss..thanks for resurfacing, guys, hehe :)

..got to sleep late and wake up late as well..haha :) i had valid reasons! i mean i was sick..duh? :p

..got to help out at mico's christmas party project for MaFIA (at the home for the dying and destitute in tayuman) ..i was still kinda sick but i really wanted to help so poof! haha..i had i nice time..memorable moment: when i helped two bedridden women eat merienda..at first i was reeeaallly reluctant to do it..(scared maybe that they might die while i'm feeding them..and i'm dead serious about that..)..but because there we're really many old folks to be aided, i agreed..and got not one but two lolas (o, di ba?? halos mamatay ako sa kaba :p ) if only you were there to watch/help me out, reader, i'm sure kakabahan ka din..haha :) anyway, i had a nice time..good job, mico..thanks din, lily and kat..and all the MaFIA people who were there (na hindi ko kilala :p)..

..got to have some talk time with family while watching our chirstmas tree..particularly my girl cousins..*very interesting conversation about an upcoming thing* hahaha..thanks hanna and tessa..laughtrip yun, super! :p but really, thanks talaga..the thought itself was worthy enough as a present (naks naman! :p)..mwehehehe *drama!*

anyway, there..can't think of anything more to write..and i have to go back to doing my school stuff.. :p

Good luck to everyone..2 weeks more and 2nd term's DONE! :) whoopee! :p
