In spite everything that's going on at this stage of time, through the stress, the hardships, insecurities, high and low times, I just want to walk out a winner.

Woke up really tired today, and I said I was going to get up early to study, totally did not work out or help my cause at that -.- Chemistry class was w/e, I was semi-awake and the lecture was w/e as well. Professor's a really cool guy though when you get to meet him in person. After chemistry went to the usual place, 3rd floor of the union to hang and eat with everyone. Theddy and I found a group of people who were also taking CHM 2040 and eventually joined the group of a good 15 people study group....except we were the least contributors =] Fun stuff lol. But yeah afterwards I went to anthropology and suprisingly I stayed awake, but I guess it was from the can of Rock Star I had prior to class lol. Took my notes in class, and afterwards skated to back to the union to pass time until the FSA meetings. Went to the AMSA meeting briefly with Theddy and Efren and I was suppose to head to Gainesville this weekend on a free trip by AMSA, but no go -.- Really wanted to go though, but I don't even think they mentioned anything about it.

I derno, after that I was pretty bummed. Personally. I guess from the utter fact that yeah I've got so much to do in these next few days and I havent been doing my best with keeping up with school in particular, trying to work on that. And another thing, one of my new friends that I met up here has lately been getting on my nerves lately, too many smart ass comments and stuff yenno? But it's all good I guess.

FSA meeting started off on the bad end for me. Again I was just tired and not in the mood with everyone else. So I ended up just chilling with Ryan in the back lol. Last meeting I signed up for the Kuya/Ate selection and this meeting we get to find out who it was so I was pretty psyched about that. I was talking to Kim recently and he said that he'd pick me up for it, so I was straight since he is a pretty cool guy. Tour of Asia was this past sunday and I was talking to Tracy and she told me "Oh so Robert I know who you're Ateh is, she's a pretty cool chick"...then I asked her "Oh nice. Btw do you have any idea who my Kuya is gonna be? Kim maybe?" ..lol. She goes "Oh I don't think Kim is gonna be a Kuya anymore"....and I'm thinking "WHAT A BITCH!!!!" lol. So I was not sure who my kuya or ateh was gonna be lol.

All the adings were being called to meet their kuyas and atehs, and I was pretty late. I was so tired. Saw FSA's promotional video for the Kuya/Ate 2008 selection...FUNNY STUFF LOL. Made my night.

Few minutes later, they called me up xD. Found out my Ateh was Tracy and my Kuya was Kim..DON'T GET NO BETTER!!!!! ahhhh!!!!! lol. I was so happy xD. They set it up perfectly haha to surprise me lol. Tracy even took the pleasure of getting her adings: me, Emmie, and Stevie gifts -.- I felt so spoiled lol. Ate Tracy and Kuya Kim aka Baby Jesus don't get no better! lol. They're really cool upperclassmen, easy to get along with and overall just kind of people you'd just want ot hang and have a good times with yenno? lol. Tracy's one of the lead choreographers for FOB and Kim's a M&M major so holla lol. The best of both worlds =] I love them ahhhh! Went to some bbq place on campus ( can't remember the name) and just had lunch and good times with everyone. We're all so close, it's like family. Had a cypher after..boy do I suck. I wanna work on my bboy game so bad, and overall dancing ahh.

what a great way to end the night =]

Now it's time to study my ass off. Wish me luck =D

Today wasn't really the best of days. It was alright. I'm really tired at the moment. I seriously do need to start having some pre-game coffee before I go to class because all I ever do is sleep. But I mean I never could learn from lectures, I would always drown into sleeping and just learn it for myself, which is the best way for me. I will literally go to class and 5 minutes into lecture, I'm gone. I think it's been like this for atleast the last 3 weeks. I don't think I've been up in any of my classes, and this looks bad in front of my professors because I know that if ever I need anything from them, they'll consider me as "the kid who's always asleep with his mouth open in the middle of my lectures" lol. One thing's for certain, if I cannot keep up with the studying and learning in class, I need to keep up with my studies outside of school. I've been doing okay for my 2 major classes, bio and chem pulling A+'s on the first tests. But exam time is coming up and I gotta step my game up. It's my other two classes, Pre-calc in particulary that really ceases to catch my interest and ultimately bore me to the point where I've skipped class probably 60% of the time this year -.- Anthropology I need to pay attention in that class because the teacher stopped posting notes online, so now I actually have to stay up and make my own notes. -.-

Today was ehh. I'm pretty drained. Finally assembled the desk in my room so now I can study in my own space. Pretty sexy setup if you ask me lol. In the middle of the day today, I found out taht auditions for the DTJ routines just got moved to this Weds. instead of Sunday -.- So we practiced all the dances this week and I think I've got some of them on lock. It's just that damn locking piece. ahh we'll see. Been watching DTJ vids, can't wait whoooo! I'm so tired though and practice is killing my endurance and energy. I need to do my hw asap I get home but I'm so drained. Tonight I need to do my shiettt!

FSA meeting bukas, I get my kuya and ateh ...holla =]

Time to study. Pz.

lol. Boy did I miss my mom's Filipino cooking, so now the fridge is stockpiled with a good month's supply of adobo, cinigang, bistec, her special spaghetti, longanisa, etc. =]

oh happy day. lol.

so yeah my fambam, along with Lawrence and Tito Ray came to visit this past Friday. I do have to say, it was pretty uplifting to see my family for the first time in weeks, I think about 6 weeks to count lol. It's weird to think that yeah I'm already and in a sense "living on my own" ( I mean aside from the fact that I still mooch money off of my parents and I am living in their house) lol.

But yeah been managing life over here in Orlando for a while now, and I do have to say that I've adapted this place to be my new home. I remember talking over the phone with Abbey saying how it'd be weird to go home, because we've adjusted to the new environment. I mean sure we do miss alot of the good things back home, particularly and especially our families/friends, homes, etc. But life ain't too shabby over here in Orlando.

I do have to say that my life revolves around these very few things for me: social life, study/school, dance practice.

Not too bad though. But damn dance is slowly growing to be a major thing in my life. Practice three days a week and tires you out to the point where at times you don't want to go to practice lol. But yeah in the end I know I'll walk out flattered with what I've attained. Seems the whole dance crew thing is a major deal here in college, esp. with all the performances and competitons...whooo!

Good weekend in general. Didn't get to party this weekend. But I'm totally glad my family was up here to see that I'm doing well. It still pissed me off that at times they still treated me like a kid, but in the end it was all good.

95% on my first biology test =]

so happy. What sucks is that I could have gotten a 98 on the test had I not changed the answer to one of them -.- And I had a 100% had I just read a little more ahead with the following unit.

So I pretty much studied my ass off after my crazy weekend in Gainesville. I think Monday-Thursday I just ate, slept, went to class (sometimes), studied, dance practice, studied some more, to the point where I was too tired to leave my spot on the couch lol.

By the end of my Biology test on friday, I was ready to celebrate, all of us were. Hadn't played basketball in what seemed to be forever, so finally got the chance to on Friday. New starting 5, we seem to be doing pretty well lol. Afterwards it was the first time in a long time that I finally had a nice relaxing evening, with it ending me passed out on the couch lol.

Saturday woke up for the Adobo cookout, strange as it may seem, it was the first time in about a good 3 weeks that I had some good old Filipino cooking lol. Later that evening we went to Lake Eola to watch FOB do their thang on the stage, whoooo can't wait to be up there with them come DTJ lol. Went to some crazy party last night, turned out to be pretty good evening.

So now I have to grind pre-calc, about 2 chapters full of crap. I have a test tomorrow afternoon, and I know damn well I am not ready for this. But I need to do well. I'm just so lazy, so unsatisfied, it's like w/e to me right now. Not bummed about it, but yeah something's keeping me from doing what I have to do for the tiem being.

Oh well I'll get over it eventually.

I'll update later when i do get sidetracked. Moon Festival at the union so I want some free food, and practice in about 30 mins.

holla.
