I think I'll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
I hope to find my place
So my life can fall in place
I know in time I'll find my place
In the greater scheme of things

some things i'll miss for two weeks of vacation

1. dapitan night life
who would not miss that crazy night around dapitan?
not only do i miss the sweet alcohol from Tapsi, Da Pit and 330mL
but also
that dead tired feeling when i walk our from our campus dizzy, having stinging headache and the sensation of being tortured (which always haunt me and reminds of an extended laboratory work at FLR Lab4 because of pharmacognosy)
and also that
disappointed feeling after you see that colorful test papers of yours, week after your exam week with not so nice scores
and the
24/7 computer shops which become battle ground for computer games addict, refuge for those who were locked our of their dormitory because they did not come home before curfew and home for those who simply like to surf the net, facebook all night long and chat unstoppably.
plus
the newly opened Starbucks coffee a the ground floor of Pacific Suites which becomes the habitat of bookworms and nerd people at midnight
as well as those
27/7 tapsihan especially along Asturias. they rock the night when one is hungry and at the same time nagtitipid! :D
whle wendy's is open 24/7 too for those hindi nagtitipid! :D
(and their washroom is open too, so for those drunk people wandering arond dapitan at night, straighten up your walk and go to the fourth floor of Wendy's, its for free!) XD
also the
Seven11 and Ministop which sells the most luscious cigarettes when all the bangketa's are already closed.

[i think its safe naman to walk around dapitan at night because i see some security guard and barangay tanod watching the area)



2. 4th floor's Open Sandwich
this is the most awesome food inside the Main building of the University of Santo Tomas!!!
why?
because when your stomach is already grunting and your intestines are already eating and digesting each other but you do not have enough time to eat (because either you are going to do your assignments, laboratory manual or report pa or you you just robbed a couple of minuets in between classes) just go up to the top most floor of the oldest building in Asia and there you'll find the BigMan frying the coolest food for your starving stomach:
OPEN SANDWICH!
50Pesos.
busog ka na!
(egg, your choice kung paano i ffry, footlong hotdog, a pair of sandwich)





3. Dorm/condo/apartment - Life
there are two things i miss about living independently in Manila

ONE: you can do what ever you want to. you have the choice.

you get to choose to either ruin your life,
drink alcohol every night, ignore your professors as frequently as you want to, puff cigarette every other minuet, not attend your classes all day long, fail exams, fail your subjects, fail your course and be kicked out of your university
OR you get the choice to be nerdy, read book all day long inside the library, loose friends, ace your exams, perfect your quizzes, forget about social life, get 1.0 in your class cards, be magna cumlaude, become a loner eating by himself in a fancy restaurant.
OR you get the choice to be cool and stay at school and have goals in life. attend class as long as there are scheduled classes, you may be late sometimes sa first class in the morning, not get perfect scores all the time yet get perfect scores some times, go online and surf the internet after class, then read and study in the library or in your home after internet, puff a few cigarettes, hang out with friends (who will become your life-ling colleague), go out with barkada every weekends or every time you're free, not forget about advance reading, do reports and assignment ahead of time (para makaHang-ut or gimmick pa rin kahit super tight na ng schedule :D), drink liquor sometimes, do not sleep if it's already 4am and you just finished reviewing and your exam is seven or eight in the morning (promise, you wont wake up na! unless there's a concerned roommate). finish your course without an F in your class cards, graduate in time (sige, graduate cum laude or graduate magne cumlaude!) XD

TWO: you have the freedom to be suuuuper tamad all day long. wake up late in the morning (if there are no classes). eat whenever you want to (eat all day or not eat because you are soo lazy to get up form bed). get to be infront of the computer as long as you can (maybe until your eyes are bloody red already). watch your ants travel around the walls of your kitchen.


4. Professors
who wont miss them?
when they laugh at you right after they give loads and loads of requirements, reports, assignments and you have one week to figure out how to be able to pass them in time.
when they come inside your freezing classroom with a bundle of test papers with problems to be solved which you aren't ready yet to answer
when they schedule a quiz which happens to be in the same day with your other subjects' quizzes
when they assign you a report which you have no clue what is it about
when then call you to recite the entire Kreb's Cycle or when they call you to answer their on-the-spot question which you happened to not know because you have not reached that page for advance reading.
when they keep rejecting your thesis proposals
when they chuckle after they give you your answer sheet in your exam
when they tell you, "kaya nyo yan. tsaga lang"
when they consider your schedule and show some love and move scheduled exams
when they pass you in their subjects
when they talk to you, like kabarkada and advice you what to do to be able to hold on the the remaining weeks of the semester.
when they smile at you and show them they cared for you and for the rest of his students



5. Pharmacology + Pharmacognosy

who would not miss the traumatic life in FLR Lab 4 every MWF 10-12am?
two weeks will be our break from Pharmacognosy. two weeks will feel like heaven on earth!
because when the classes resume, there ill be a FESTIVAL of QUIZZES for us, again.
another almost 150 scientific names to memorize.
biologicals.
chapters and chapters of quizzes..
practical tests..
laboratory works..
every meeting overtime Lecture hours..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pharmacology!
my favorite subject.
why?
because of two things..
1. it's challenging and kinda hard o understand so you need your
2. professor to explain it to you and roll his cute eyes in front of the class.

i dont know if i will hate or love my classmates when they tease me everytime i recite in front of the class. XD
i like pharmacology.
alot :D


two weeks of Vacation..
two weeks of nothing.

except of course if I will choose to read and study in advance for Pharmacology and for our Festival of Quizzes in Pharmacognosy
and if i will choose that choice, umm, Christmas Day will be like Byernes Santo!
:D
