back on business :)

It's the first day of March today. I hope I'll be marching with my cap and gown on, my classmates cheering with me, on the last day of this month. God! It was just like yesterday when I was crying buckets because I can't find my place in college. Come to think of it, I made it through college! Well, almost. :D There's still the final exams and still some requirements to fulfill.

In the meantime, I'd like to make up for lost time and missed stories of my past two months. One word - THESIS. This last two months, my world revolved around it. It became an irritating part of my system. I wanted to make it suka and poopoo (coño?) whenever I thought of how many weekends I wasn't able to come home and have our Sunday family lunch. How many days we had to work on it when all we wanted to do was enjoy the remaining days of college. How many all-nighters we had to pull. And how many tears I had to cry. And then before I knew it, it was done, finally. I really hope it is.

It did not just end with the defense. The weeks that followed were for the revisions of what needed to be revised!


I have learned a very important lesson through everything I have experienced so far. And that is, you have to have something to look forward to. As for me, I just held on to that thought of coming home. It worked!

Everything wasn't about pressures and schoolworks of course. I also had some great great fun! Last month, my classmates and I attended the retreat at Caleruega, Batangas. It felt so good to relax and free our minds for 3 days, after everything we've done and were about to do. I got to know and love my classmates more, every single one of them. There were only 24 of us, but it was still fun!

It was heaven in there! Fresh air, beautiful place, cool companions. I had an amazing time. Then it was time to go back to Manila and face what there is to face.


(Feb 11 - the jobseekers. UST Job Fair 2009)


Then it was the most-awaited Valentine's Day, for lovers at least. My Tsongets celebrated it on Wendy's, again! Just like last year's V-day. We had lunch and then off we went to Trinoma and hit the videoke!


(Feb 14 - Wendy's, Dapitan. with Tsongets, Nikko, Choy & RJ)

I also had the privilege of being invited at a kiddie party - Choy's and 3 of her friends' birthday celebration at McDonald's, Retiro.

The week that followed was one hell of a space shuttle ride. It was one of the busiest, most pressing, most depressing, most distressing weeks I've ever had in my college life. It's over now. The storm had passed and I feel like someone had taken a heavy load out of my shoulder. This week is the last week of schooling. In less than a month, I will have to say bye to being a student and say hello to a world of . . . I still don't know! One thing for sure is that I am gonna miss my section, my classmates, my friends! I never thought I am going to love them this much. They have taught me to laugh in the face of problems and pressure. They have shared with me a lot of things. It was only this semester that I have realized that this is Highschool, part 2. I can only wish that I'll be able to find people like them to wherever life may lead me or that life will lead me back to them. :)
