Palm Sunday: How ironic...
Unang beses ko lang magsimba ng Lingo ng Palaspas dito sa Maynila, nakaugalian ko na kasing umuwi ng Bataan tuwing Holy Week, pero ngayon lang ako nawalan ng choice kundi dito na lang magsimba.
Unang beses ko lang ring magsimba ng Lingo ng Palaspas na walang hawak na palaspas sa kamay. gustuhin ko man, hindi na rin sigurodapat kasi wala naman akong mapaglalagyan ng palaspas sa bahay namin dito sa Manila.
Habang nasa Misa, tinanong ako ng kaibigan ko: Talagang naka red sya? [pointing at the priest]
Gamit ang akin munting nalalaman tungkol sa simbahan mula sa aking makulay na nakaraan bilang altar server ng limang taon sinagot ko sya: Yes. Red talaga ngayon kasi "happy day" ngayon. Ngayon kasi diba pumasok si Jesus sa Jerusalem.
Ironic.
Festive ang mood pero ang homilya ay tungkol kay Jesus na ipinako at namatay sa krus.
pagkatapos ipagdiwang ng lahat ng tao ang pagdating Nya sa kanilang bayan, makalipas lang ang ilang araw ay nilatigo sya habang nakatali sa haliging bato, nilagyan ng koronang tinik, pinagpasan ng krus paakyat ng bundok, ipinako sa krus katabi ang dalawang makasalanan at namatay. at saka lang naniwala na Sya nga ang Tagapagligtas!

ahhh leche! whatever...
An excerpt from one of our Theology Class' Project [three years ago] entitled: My Life's Journey.
"I do believe in the saying that love is sweeter the second time around. Love is unending and trust is on its strongest. I do not think of the end, I always believe the everyday is a new start so that we won’t get tired of each other. We spend almost everyday of the week together and laugh throughout it. It’s like time stops every time we are together, we always lose track of time, and just let everything come and go as long as we are holding each other’s hands. I enjoy being with him and he does with me too. We don’t need to look nice to have each other’s attention, we both like the way everybody is and live with it. Many times nowadays I think that it is really God working, that our past break-up was for the better. And now, just like the old song says, “These are the moments I thank God that I’m alive. These are the moments I’ll remember all my life. I’ve got all I’ve wanted for and I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE.”"

"bullshit!" ~reaction ko tuwing nababasa ko ang buong sulat ko na yan. haha!
kapag naaalala ko ang feeling ko dati habang sinusulat ko yan, nasusuka ako. paranggusto kong iluwa ang bawat brain cells na naglalaman ng memory ko sakanya. (hindi ako bitter).
hindi ako masasakitin at isa lang ang allergy ko sa katawan:
Im ALLERGIC TO JERKS.
kaya malamang naaalibadbaran ako kapag nasapaligid ko sya.
haha!
being alone...
6:52 pm
In a dimly lit room
Asturias (Dapitan) Sampaloc, Manila
being alone is not easy for it is during the times that we are by ourselves when we think infinitely, when our imagination becomes endless and our thoughts and feelings are both indescribable and immeasurable.
it is also during our lonesome times when sometimes we feel extreme sadness and the longing to be with the people whom we love.

boracay's sunset
it was my first time in Boracay.
but right then and there I fell deeply in love with it.
kinda like "Love at first sight."
someday i will rule the world...
Someday I will rule the world. And when that day comes, everybody I hate will be tortured to death and no law about human rights will be implemented. Earth for those who does not appreciate me and what I do, will become hell but they should still love and support me because if not, they will be tortured to death too.
I will gather everybody’s money and then will burn it because I am going to reprint a new currency with my picture on it and put it in a bank which then I will own.
All properties; cars, houses and lands will become mine.
I am the ruler of the world. Earth will become Planet Eda.
I will build a special huge island where edible fruits and vegetables are to be grown and another island where animals which we will eat are to be bred.
But still, you can grown your own plants or raise your own animal at your backyard.
Food will become abundant. It will be buffet through out the day at hotels where everybody can stay, for free.
House and lots, rebuilt with swimming pool and centralized air con or heater in it will be given for free. Rural areas will not be far anymore because there will be a Mall and a Disney land in every region or state where entrance fee is for free and in every town, there will be a movie house and time zone too.
Hospitalization, Education and transportation are for free.
No slum area will remain.
Those areas that are expected to endure from flash floods are to be removed form the map and those that are living in there will be given a new house and lot.
Going in and out of your country is for free, as well as watching a movie in Hollywood or touring in Caribbean or Bahamas. You will just need to give me a letter so I may decide if I will or will not approve of it.
Of course there will still be Hollywood superstars and gigantic international and national companies. They will remain.
Everybody will get a new cell phone. I will choose what brand and series will be given to you. And it will be loaded with unlimited call and text forever.
Everybody will also receive a brand new car. I will choose which to give depending on what I think you deserve.
Pharmacy will become the leading course in college.
Nuns will become beautiful as ever and Priesthood will become the coolest vocation for men ever but still following the chastity, Celibacy and Obedience vow.
Bars and beerhouses will be accessible only to those eighteen years old and above. Antonio St. Cor. Dapitan will become the coolest spot for yosi breaks.
A government shall still exist but I will become the president of the presidents of all the nations.
However, before running for presidency or any other political position of your country, one must pass my examination, just like an entrance exam before entering college, so that we may know that you really are eligible to run.
But when I become the ruler of the world, I will still remain in the Philippines, living in our bungalow house who rides a tricyle, jeep, fx, mrt, and a public bus.
I want to rule the world because maybe, I might change the way how we live, maybe I might give equality and justice . (except for those i hate and who will hate me) hahahahahaha

gradeschool graduation
this was our elementary graduation song (Hermosa Elementary School) composed by our sixth grade teacher, Miss Benito.
we were the first batch to sing this.
i already forgot the last stanza... but i can still remember how to sing it! :p
Anim na taon ang lumipas
Mula ng matutong sumulat
Bumasa at maging mabuti
Para sa aming kapwa
Kay tagal kong pinangarap
Diplomang mula sa 'king sikap
Dunong mula sa king gurong
Labis na nagsumikap
Ngayon ay sandali ng pagtatapos
Pangarap ay amin nang naaabot
Handang harapin ang bagong hamon
Upang maging mamamayang lubos

selfish version o: "Grow Old with You"
Grow Old With Me
You wanna make me smile whenever I’m sad
Carry me around when my arthritis is bad
All you wanna do is grow old with me
Youll get my medicine when my tummy aches
Build me a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with me
Youll miss me
youll kiss me
Give me my coat when I am cold
Youll need me
youll feed me
Even let me hold the remote control
So let you do the dishes in my kitchen sink
Put me to bed if I have had too much to drink
You could be the man who grows old with me
You wanna grow old with me
You wanna make me smile whenever I’m sad
Carry me around when my arthritis is bad
All you wanna do is grow old with me
Youll get my medicine when my tummy aches
Build me a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with me
Youll miss me
youll kiss me
Give me my coat when I am cold
Youll need me
youll feed me
Even let me hold the remote control
So let you do the dishes in my kitchen sink
Put me to bed if I have had too much to drink
You could be the man who grows old with me
You wanna grow old with me

*Huling pakiusap, bawal sumuka at umihi sa salawal... Hik!!! Hik!!!
Para tuloy ang samahan.

may pag-aalinlangan pa rin
kung gaano ako kaexcited magkaroon ng lisensya ganun din ang level ng takot ko para sa board exam.
natatakot ako sa failure, pero kailangan kong harapin ang takot na yun kasi hindi naman pwedeng hindi kasi masstuck na lang ako sa ganito forever, at hindi yon pwede. hindi yon katanggap-tanggap!
hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin akong motivation para seryosohin ang pag-aaral. iniisip ko pa rin kasi na "Oh My Gosh ang dami dami dami dami ng aaralin! kakayanin ko ba? maaalala ko kaya silang lahat sa board exam mismo?"
doon pa lang natitigilan na ako.
at sa bawat lipat ko ng pahina ng mga libro, sa bawat topic na natatapos ko palagi pa ring may alinlangan. ang pakiramdam na tila wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko na kaya kong itong gawin, wala akong tiwala na kaya kong ipasa ang board exam.
marahil kulang lang ako sa inspirasyon, or motibasyon or mga salitang nakakapagpabuhay ng diwa.

Anita predicts
Im not really into these kind of things and I dont believe them either. I just find it amusing to read them. :))
Compared to any other applications who tell us about our future, may it be devastating or encouraging, I find the Anita Predictions sweet most of the time. She's the application who speaks about love, life, friendship and sometimes about money too.

so finally...
after four long, sleepless, stressful yet fun-filled, productive and didactic years I am now done with you BS Pharmacy!
I am happy, who wont be! but in the midst of ecstasy, there's sadness. we are leaving. we wont be in the same classroom for about twelve hours five days a week anymore. its about time for the real life, the real world. :|
thats why now im nostalgic but ill keep it brief. :|
so finally i am graduating...
Four years ago, the first time I stepped on the corridors of 2nd floor in the Main Building, I said to myself "Geez, this will be my home for four long years. can i do this?"
each day I leave my house, I pack light and bring only the essentials but that Monday morning was different. I brought every bit I can: bag, pen, paper, pencil, sharpener, crayons [yeah, I remember bringing this], scissors, extra uniform [I still dont now why I brought this, but yes, I did], handkerchief, money, food, water, courage, positivity, extra smiles, extra patience, humor, my shallow English vocabulary and common sense [just in case]. That day, I guess, I was ready for whatever or whoever.
and so there was I, as what most freshmen look, totally lost and don't have any clue of where to go, when i finally found our classroom [room 21~something. i forgot]. it was cold inside, a little silent and awkward. it was my first time to enter a room where I do not know anyone. I was frightened. Should I speak in English or Tagalog? should I talk to them first or will I wait until they speak to me? Is it okay to sit where ever i want to? Will there be anybody here who is going to be a long term friend? I was nauseous.
Weeks passed by and the environment became ordinary and soothing, I realized that time, I was HOME. I gained friends, been introduced to many different past-time activities, brought to alot of leisure places and built my study habits [dont deny it, we all have study habits!]
Claire, Pam and Shen (she transferred at La Salle after our second year) were my first friends who then became my housemates, then Rama, Rona and Cyndrill's group merged with us and then Neil and Laurie came in. They became my friends. Long-term friends. Never did I thought that I would be blessed with such friends who were in the journey with me through good times and bad. They are one of the few reasons why I survived and enjoyed my college life.
Being in UST Faculty of Pharmacy, I experienced most of my firsts, some of which I would never thought I'd experience in my lifetime. It was my first time to be at school for at least thirteen solid hours and still have alot of homework, reports, and take-home stuffs to be done! I could still vividly remember those sleepless nights when we would have reports the next day and quiz in every subject (most of which is a 5unit course) and assignments and thesis experiments and/or deadlines and classes starts at 7 am. Those were the reasons why we endure sleepless nights which gives us, well specifically me, alot of huge eye bags. It was my first time to have those kind of big, red, swollen eyes which wants to close but dont have the right to because the professor in front who is frantically lecturing appears to be frightening. It was also my first time to experience sleeping for a maximum of 6 hours (during weekdays) and when times get worse, we are spared with two hours of sleep. I also had the chance to travel to alot new places for both research and leisure. It was my first time to walk along the corridor sometimes to have at least the chance to see my crush (you know-who), learned to drink till [we] drop, learned how to correctly puff a cigarette, go to school with a hang-over, review in a beerhouse for a final exam, go home during the wee hours (or not at all), eat alone, kill time, study inside the library, appreciate silence, long free hours and fresh air, use facebook as source of review material, watch a UAAP Game in Araneta and Phil.Sports Complex, see the Master of the Dominican Order, see alot of Pyromusicals for free, MY NAME TO BE PUT IN A TIME CAPSULE and alot more!
Now we are leaving...
[It is time to face the reality which our university prepared us for.]
Even if our journey as pharmacy students seemed to be miserable and looks like it sucks, truth is, it doesnt! Four years was a fun ride! We may not have much time to hang-out in every place we want to, we still had one hell of a college experience which we will never forget for the rest of our lives.
While you are in some place chilling, we are in the Laboratory learning and laughing our lungs out because of an experiment done and funny ways how we manipulated the results for it to be POSITIVE! :))
While you are in the club partying, we are in our rooms chilling on one table with our friends who wont get drunk with alcohol but will act and look exactly the same as your drunk friend because of different mind-boggling pages after pages of pharmacology stuffs.
And while you are dismissed early from class, we are still in the same room enjoying the company of our beloved classmates until the darkness creeps across the corners of our university.
Simple memories are what we remember for the longest time and these memories are built mostly in the company of friends and/or classmates in a peaceful place.
College taught me alot of things about life besides the nerdy part.
How to be independent is my favorite of them all. Im living for four years [and counting] in a place where there is no rules and no one to control me. I can basically do whatever i want to: ruin my life or do something to make it amazing to live in.
Here I am, a day from having by bachelor's degree, proved something to everyone. :)
I will definitely miss our University especially the Faculty of Pharmacy (2nd floor of Main Building).
*plus my college crush. :)) [well, he'll always be my crush even after college]
Its been a pleasure living in the grounds of the Royal Pontifical Catholic University of Sto. Tomas where the presence of God is forever felt, good friends is just a blink away, love is always in the atmosphere and peace is everywhere.
