BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

Conversational mode = Taglish, hehe :p

But I'll try to make each sentence pure English and pure Filipino.
Kasi dun daw pumapangit yung mga pangungusap eh. :p haha.

Anyway, today (or rather, yesterday) was really something.

Sa totoo lang, kung may birthday na wala talaga akong inaasahan, ito yun.

Well, I was expecting something. Something far worse than the Finals Week Birthday Bash (with books and handouts) I've been having for the past two years (Thanks to DLSU's Trisem) :p

Total chaos.

Why? Here is (was) my "to do list"
FINQUAM - Finals - Dec.10 -- 3:30-6:30 ; Paper due on 13th
BUCOTAX - Finals - Dec.10 -- 6:00-7:00
BUSIPOL - Finals - Dec. 11 -- 3:30-5:30; Case Analysis Paper
FINVEST - Finals - Dec.11 -- 6:00-8:00 ; Case 2 Due on 15th
FINTREA - Finals - Dec.12 -- 6:00-8:00
POLIGOV - Final Quiz (Exam) - Dec. 7; Final Paper

Some of the ones there are already done but see the point?
Chaos. Haha.

Anyway, how did the day go?
- 12am came.
- Yung mga taong online pa sa YM kasama ko dahil nag-aaral, bumati.
- Pati sa text, meron din (Salamat nga pala :p).
- 3 hours sleep (better than Dec. 9's 2 hours).
- I wasn't able to finish studying for Finquam coz I was struggling between making that &%*#%(* argh paper and studying. Made Index Card; Left Portfolio Management hanging.
- Read Bucotax ONCE. Katangahan.
- School; Cram/Panic mode studying Finquam (what else?). Magbabasa pa dapat ako ng Bucotax pero dahil sa mga nangyari, naging isang malaking ASA yung goal na yun. Thus, no review for Bucotax (1st time ever!).

- Finquam Exam --
Started late (I think). Words are not enough to describe the agony of answering that...thing. Some of the questions... had no effin' idea where they came from. Nakakabaliw. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung ako lang talaga yung bobo o anu pero parang ganun nga eh. But honestly, I reviewed. Ouch to my ego for not being competent enough. Exam Ended at 7pm. And yes, I was fucking late for my Bucotax Exam for an hour already. Sir Pua greeted me, by the way. Super gusto ko na humirit ng, "Sir, plus points naman po, birthday ko naman..haha" pero wag na lang. Super nakangiti pa si Pua na parang tuwang tuwa nung tinanung niya, "Birthday mo?" hahaha.

- Bucotax Exam --
Pagdating namin sa room, tapos na halos lahat. Kasi may +10 pala pag natapos by 7pm. Wow. Asa naman kami dun noh. Gahol na nga sa oras, wala pang plus. Grabe. Kamusta naman ang mga lumabas sa exam. I had no idea about most of them. It seems that the lessons we focused on barely made themselves evident in the finals. Wow. Sobrang wow talaga. I didn't use the shotgun method (shade anything without reading) but even though I tried, it was no use. Parang nag-shotgun nga talaga ako. Felt so bad. Called my Mom while walking in the lobby. Hearing her say that it was OK was the best. And hearing her laugh, too (after I told my story :p) was priceless. Love my Mom

- Went up sa COSCA. Sabi ni Amelie may emergency meeting daw about FTK eh late na ako nakalabas. Tapos ayun, pagdating ko sabaw sabaw pa sa Finals at ma-ewan ang pakiramdam eh inaantay pala ako nung ibang mga tao dun. Na-touch ako sobra. I mean it was Finals Week and some of the guys and girls stayed late there to surprise me on my birthday. 1st time ever. With matching white Carnations. Super ganda at and bango. :) Super touched talaga ako at masaya. Went to Flaming Wings with Sandy, Angel, Sherwin and Ate Tina after to eat and unwind a bit. Pictures. Sarap makinig sa kwento nila although wala akong maishare masyado dun sa pinag-uusapan. Lovelife, hahaha.

- Anyway, now I'm here and I'm kinda sleepy. I still have finals and papers to do! wah.

Wow. I can't believe I'm 19 already. The thought of it confuses my emotions, haha! Exciting. Nakakatakot. Ewan, hehe. Since this is my last year being a teen, I'll try my very best to make the best out of it. Hindi lang alam ng maraming tao pero napakaduwag ko sa madaming bagay. This year, I'll learn to take more risks and stop thinking too much if this or that or what if blah blah blah.. I'll stop being too uptight about everything and learn to let things take their course. Hahaha, madrama ba? Wala lang. I promise to do something great and memorable this year, whatever that is, I still don't know hehehe. And lastly, I promise to do something for myself na matagal nang nag-aantay na magawa. It's time, hahaha!

Anyway, to everyone who remembered and took the time to greet, thank you soooo much! Hindi niyo lang alam, sobrang tuwang tuwa talaga ako sa mga text, YM, comment, at personal na greeting niyo, lalo na dun sa mga nagpa-surprise sa akin. Pinasaya niyo ang araw ko sobra.

Mahal ko kayong lahat

Dun sa mga medyo nakalimot or walang load or madami lang talagang ginagawa, ayus lang din. You're still a part of my life and I'm truly blessed for that. Salamat na rin :)

This was a great birthday. Sarcastically speaking, it's pretty obvious why. But the thought of everything that had happened today and that there could never be a birthday like it ever again...Priceless

And last but not the least, I thank God for everything. Ewan ko ba. Seriously, I'm not religious and I admit that there are lots of times that I question and doubt but I dunno. Somehow, I still believe. hehehe!


Anyway, I'm off...Whatever happens after, I'm ready to accept it. I may be afraid, yes.
But really, I'm ready.

19, here I come!
