Rar. Ang epal. And no, this is not about the Bibingcrepe issue. It’s over with a big period. Wala na. Nada. Hindi na uso yun. And this time, there’s no recurring because it’s friggin’ over. Dibadiba?

 

But truth is… mwahahaha.

 

Darn.

 

If you don’t trust me. Then… don’t. mwahaha.

 

Argh. I wanna go to Italy. And China. And the Bahamas.

 

Talaga naming nakakairita. Amp.

 

Hormones are raging. Better stop blogging else I’d say something I’ll regret.

 

Need... shrink...

A friend has been asking me to give him a copy of this speech because he didn't get the chance to hear it. So posted below is my acceptance speech that I delivered to the whole STC community last March 11, 2005 during the turn-over ceremony.

 

Sr. Josefina Nebres, ICM, Mrs. Ma Teresa Bayle, Mrs Alcabedas, dearest personnel, and to you my fellow students, good afternoon.

 

Last week, I humbly stood before you as a candidate to offer my services to the High School community. Now, I stand before you again, this time, with deep honor and gratitude to you my fellow students for trusting in my capabilities and for giving me the chance to be one of your leaders for the next school year.

 

As Ate Jeanine was handing to me the seal of commitment, a thought came to my mind. Next school year, when all of us have moved on to the next level in high school, I will become a senior. And together with my batchmates and fellow incoming TSC officers, we will carry out and exemplify St. Theresa's light to the lower batches.  Given this, it is my ultimate goal to inspire the whole student body to reach out to others. With God as our guiding light, I envision an empowered student body through the projects that will be implemented next year, in order to give thrust and substance to the school's mission - vision. Besides the projects that were accomplished by the outgoing TSC officers, my plan is to propose projects to service not only to the needs of people in communities outside the school, but, more importantly, to cater to the needs of the student body as well.

 

I cannot reach this goal alone. The success of the projects does not only depend on me and my fellow officers - it depends on how well we cooperate and work together as one Theresian community towards achieving this goal. Success, after all, will not only be measured in how much funds we raise or in how many GK houses we build because in the end, when all of the projects would have been completed, what we are left with and what really matters is the strong bond that we have forged and maintained with one another and the compassion in our hearts that would have taken root for all the people we have touched.

 

As early as today, I am looking forward to working with you next school year, because I know that together and with God’s guiding providence, we Theresians will definitely make a difference.

Fate moves in mysterious ways. One minute it seems as if the winds of fate has elevated me and brought me to its zenith - where everything seems to be going perfectly as I would have wanted things to happen - and my life, in all its aspects, just could not get any better than the way it is; the next minute I somehow end up at the pits feeling so down and depressed because I said too much and I made the wrong choices. Fate has lead me to my “moon” and back. It’s the reason why I always have the extra oomph to reach for my “stars”; it has inspired me to take on the extra mile in everything that I do. Fate has made me feel so loved and cared for, yet at the same time, fate has broken my down and has made my heart ache so much.

 

I wonder why things have to go this way, why sadness is always a precedent of my happiness. Why do I have to let go, and how come each time I manage to do so, fate brings me back to where I started – to where this whole emotional experience all began, and I find myself attached all over again. And eventually I’ll be hurting, and I’ll let go yet again. It’s a cycle I seemingly cannot get out of.

 

Why? …why. Argh. I wish I had answers. I'll be waiting in vain, even if I know full well that I will never have all the answers, but nevertheless I'll wait. I'll wait.


Blog blog blog.

 

I slept at around 2 am this morning and woke up at around 7:30. Talk about a good night’s sleep. Paano ba naman kasi, 3-hour telebabad... Tsk tsk. Pero as usual, 3 hours of feel-good soul food from a dear friend. Haha. Ang labo nga eh. We “watched” TV together. And mygad, at that time, Nigella Bites sa Discovery Channel! Yipee. Pero hehe. La lang. And I’m really happy, got a new batch of TSC project suggestions that I’m really excited to share with the whole group. (Dear, I promise you, I’ll pay you in some other way… Withstanding the fact that you’ll probably get mad at me.)

 

Got my new Kaplan reviewers today. And I can’t wait to study them. Sobrang happy na happy ako with my reviewers.

 

God really finds ways. I remember before… when I got so frustrated with Kaplan because they didn’t give me updated reviewers… I cried my eyes out because of too much frustration. And I remember locking myself in a room and I was crying and I was literally talking to God, and I was just telling him how bad and how frustrated I felt. And I told Him that I wasn’t blaming anyone for that, and I’m not mad at him or anything. I just wished that he’d make my pain go away. I asked him to calm and pacify my aching heart… in his own time. And I asked him for answers. And he DID answer my prayers. And know I know the reason why things had to go the way they went, and now I feel super happy and super blessed with how everything turned out. Sigh. God moves in mysterious ways.

 

I’ve been listening to Fantasia’s TRUTH IS all night. Haha. Paulit ulit. But it’s okay, I really like that song.

 

Hm.. what else? Ah, went to the salon and had a feel-good treatment.

 

Happy day today. Very happy day.

 

Thank God.

 

Boon – something to be thankful for. That’s how I describe this day.

I’m not going to Kaplan tomorrow. Most of my scheduled to-do’s for tomorrow are computer-based and internet based and since there’s no internet connection at Kaplan, I might as well stay at home and do my studying here. To make up for it, I’ll be finishing Video session 6-12 hopefully from Wednesday until Saturday morning… but if I finish Session 12 on Friday, then I have my Saturday off.  And hey, it’ll really save a lot of gas… the Kaplan center is a good 20-minute drive from home – it’s like going to STC actually. So there.

 

Transport strike today. On my way to Kaplan and on my way going home, I saw a lot of people at the side of the road, waiting in vain for a jeepney to pass by. I felt so bad for them, I honestly wanted to give them a ride, pero freaky… Though it’ll be a big help to them, I’m not really up to the thought of letting strangers inside our car.

 

Omigosh! 8:30 na! Start na ng food shows sa Discovery channel! Yeeehhhaw.

 

Papa called up this morning – which was perfect timing because I just woke up when he called. Ayon, the usual, kumustahan and stuff. My mom said he’ll call again at around 11.

 

As usual, nothing UBER special happened today. Ordinary stuff… slept late, woke up early, went to Kaplan, had a late lunch (which can actually be considered merienda already), went home late, blogged.

 

Hehe. What else? Hm… Wala na. I hope I could have a hearty conversation with someone tonight. I hope. Haha. Pero least likely that would happen. Ewan. Dunno why. Labo.

 

Err… la naman… lang kuwento.

 

Eto ako, buhay pa rin.
