Laking PSYSC. :)

Kanina, nagrecording kami ng isang song na ginawa nila ate Colleen para sa PSYSC.
Ang sarap magrecording ng isang kanta na ang lyrics ay tumutugma sayo. Haha. Ang sarap kantahin.. Haha.
Ang sarap din tumugtog para sa isang cause na gusto mo. Ang saya. :)

Hindi ako makakapag blog ng mahaba ngayon, panoorin niyo na lang. Hindi pa final to ah. Paparinig pa lang namin sa mga tao daw. :D

Singing Forever

Ito ang hobby namin ng tatay ko, ang pagkanta sa umaga, sa hapon, at sa gabi. Wala na ata kaming ibang ginawa kundi kumanta nang kumanta as bonding. Magaling kasing tumugtog ang tatay ko, gitara at piano chords. Kahit saan kami mapunta, may dala dala kaming gitara at song hits. Pwede na kaming magbanda in the future. Hahahaha.

Kaya naman, nung Dec 24, naggitara siya at kumanta ako ng kumanta ng mga iba ibang klaseng songs. Oldies, pero, astig pa rin. Kahit bago, keri niya. Christmas songs, go lang, caroling! Kahit wala kaming nakuhang pamasko kundi...

"Ang ganda naman ng boses niyo, ang galing niyo namang tumugtog..."

Aba okey na! Sa kinahaba haba nang aming pagkanta ay may naka-appreciate sa amin, kaya heto. Picture ng aming two-man band na madadagdagan pa dahil yung dalawa kong kapatid ay magaling rin sa ukelele at gitara, o diba! A family of singers and guitarists or whatever you call it.

Tapos, nung december 24 naman ng gabi, bumirit naman kami ng videoke sa filinvest. Haha. Grabe. Hindi matigil tigil na pagvivideoke hanggang magpasko na.

Ano bang kagandahan sa pagkanta? Sa pagkanta kasi, nalalabas siguro yung feelings, kaya ayun, masayang masaya kumanta. :D

Sermon. Acads vs Org. Frustrations.

Sermon. Lagi nalang sermon. Para bang wala na lang akong nagagawang maganda. Okay, para akong batang magrereklamo nito sa mga magulang kong nagsesermon. Naiintindihan ko naman na nag-aalala sila sa akin at mga magulang ko sila, pero frustrating lang kasi minsan kasi di ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko para ma-satisfy ko yung gusto nila.

FYI. Itong blog na 'to ay napaka-personal. Read at your own risk.

Maaring marami sa inyong mga kaibigan ko ngayong kolehiyo ay hindi naninirahan kasama ang inyong mga magulang, so baka hindi niyo nararanasan ang buhay na laging napapagalitan, dahil sanay na kayo sa mga dorm niyo, well, ito lamang ay pags-share ng aking buhay dito.

Gusto ko sanang gawing lighter yung mood nito pero, haha. Parang feel ko kasing magdrama saglit. Saglit lang guys, saglit lang talaga. Blog ko naman to e, pasensya na.

Ilang gabi na akong umuuwi ng past 7 pm. May curfew kasi akong 7 pm. At dahil sa may curfew ako ng 7pm, as a compromise, sumasabay nalang ako sa kanila pauwi, para tipid sa pamasahe at hindi na sila mag-alala sa pag-uwi ko. Hindi naman sa hindi ko kayang umuwi ng mag-isa, ayaw ko lang sana na mag-alala pa sila, at para payagan nila ako sana.

Kanina, General Assembly nanaman ng pisoysi, at hindi naman talaga ako nagpapasundo, sinabi ko lang na may general assembly sa may CAL AVR ngayong gabi. Nung mga 8:50 pm na, bigla silang tumawag sakin at sinabing nandyan na daw sila sa baba ng FC. Nasaan na daw ako. Nagmamadali naman na akong bumaba at iniwan na ang aking orgmates.

Pagdating ko sa kotse... Sabi ko agad. "Sorry, akala ko kasi matatagalan pa kayo, eh natakot naman akong lumabas ng mag-isa dito sa labas." (Ayoko naman kasing magpahatid sa kung sino, kasi sasabihin nanaman nila, na puro lalaki yung mga kasama ko. E anong magagawa ko, e yung mga taong yun, sinamahan lang naman ako hanggang sa makauwi ako ng safe.)

Sabi agad sa akin.. "Dapat kasi kapag ganyan, humanap ka na ng paraan na makakauwi ka nang mag-isa na hindi lalampas ng 9 pm!"

Eh, usually, yung mga GA, 6:30-9pm talaga yun. Hanggang mga 10pm pa nga minsan. Late natatapos. Tsaka, pwede naman talaga akong umuwi mag-isa, kaya ko naman, pero dahil sa gusto nilang safe ako, sila mismo naman talaga ang may gustong sunduin ako. At kung hindi man, gusto ko lang din na di sila mag-alala, kasi mag-aalala naman sila pag mag-isa ako uuwi. Kapag may maghahatid naman sakin, kung ano ano pang iisipin nila, eh mabuti nga at hinatid ako nung tao eh, sinamahan ako hanggang makauwi ako ng safe.

Tapos, medyo nainis ako sa sumunod niyang comment.

"Ano ba naman kasing klaseng org yan! Late kung magpameeting! Dapat pag GA maaga natatapos! Tsaka yung ibang org, once a year mag general assembly, yan, once a month!"

Parang, what?! Syempre, bawat organization, kailangan talaga magmeet, magmeet kung kailan yung free time ng most of the people. Eh ang free time naman ng mga tao ay sa gabi at hindi sa araw dahil may mga klase. Lagi nalang niyang inaayawan yung org ko. Hindi man lamang niya pinapakinggan yung good side nung ginagawa kong 'to.

Kung alam lang niya kung pano nabago ng org na ito ang buhay ko, sana naiintindihan niya at sana pinakikinggan niya kasi yung mga kwento kong lagi ko namang kinukwento sa kanya.... Hindi ito pagiging cheesy, totoo ito.

Dahil dito sa PSYSC, nakita ko yung aking mga potensyal at mga kakayahan. Nung high school pa lamang, dahil sa mga activities ng PSYSC at sa pagiging RC, nakita ko na kaya ko palang gawin ang mga bagay bagay na hindi ko naman inakalang kaya ko palang gawin dati. Na-inspire ako ng PSYSC na mag-excel at mag-aim para sa iba ibang klaseng achievements. Natutunan ko sa PSYSC ang maraming bagay sa labas ng silid aralan. Dahil nakita ko ang kahalagahan ng PSYSC sa pagbabago ng buhay ng mga estudyante, nais ko ding tumulong para ibahagi naman sa susunod na generation ang mga bagay na nakuha ko mula sa PSYSC. Dito sa PSYSC, ginagawa namin ang mga bagay bilang isang volunteer, para sa kabataang Pilipino...

Cheesy no? Pero totoo to. At syempre, kaakibat nitong mga responsibilidad na ito bilang mga volunteers, kailangang magtrabaho at magmeeting. So syempre, medyo late na nakakauwi.

Ang daming reklamo ng tatay ko sa akin at sa org ko. Hindi ko na nga alam kung pano sagutin lahat ng mga makikita niyang reklamo niya sa akin e. Pano ko nga ba babalansehin lahat? Matagal ko nang problema to, kaya gumagawa na lang ako ng mga kompromiso, tulad ng pagsusundo nila sa akin at paghahatid sa akin ng mga orgmates kapag ginagabi.

Ilan ito sa mga reklamo niya sa akin:
1. Wala na daw akong oras sa bahay kasi lagi na lang daw ako nasa labas, dahil sa klase at kung ano anong mga activities. -------- Ang Sunday po ay inilalaan ko para sa pamilya ko lamang. Di ako nagpupunta sa mga activities kapag sunday kasi alam ko na family day namin yun. Quality time yun. Isa pa, kahit may mga lakad ako dapat with friends etc, pag may lakad ang family, family first. Family first n nga akong tao eh. Reklamo pa rin.

2. Wag daw akong mag-org kasi nakakagulo sa acads. Dapat sa acads nakafocus. -------- Inayos at inaayos ko na yung acads ko. Nung first sem, pinagbutihan ko talaga na makakuha ng mga 1.0 para patunayan sa kanila na kaya ko at para matupad yung kagustuhan nila na galingan ko sa acads. Nakafocus naman talaga ako sa acads. So ang tanong ko lang talaga, ano bang gusto nilang gawin ko, acads lang forever, walang org, walang ibang buhay? Ang buhay estudyante ay hindi lang tungkol sa acads, at ang buhay mismo ay hindi lang tungkol sa acads. Maraming mga bagay na matututunan hindi lang sa loob ng silid aralan at sa mga libro.. There's more to life than just academics. Academics is not equal to education.

Marami pa silang reklamo sa kin, at marami pa rin akong reklamo sa kanya... Pero basically ang sinasabi nila sakin ay parang ganito..
"Focus on acads. Focus on acads. Acads first. Family first. Family first!"

I am focusing on my education, and I love my family.

Pero kahit na, HINDI NAMAN PWEDENG PURO ACADS NA LANG! :( Tsaka, frustrating lang talaga, kasi parang... eto na, ginagawa ko na lahat ng makakaya ko para maging US, summa cum laude (kahit sa tingin ko parang wah imposible ata)..... Pero wala pa rin. Wala pa rin. Parang wala lang.. Parang ganito.. Halimbawa, dati, nung highschool ako..
"Papa, 48/50 ako sa exam..."
"Wow ang galing naman! Bakit hindi perfect?"

Parang ouch lang talaga... Eto pa..
"Papa, 1.115 GWA ko.."
"Wow! Next time 1.00 na yan!"

Mga ganyang klaseng comments ba, parang wah. Wah.
Tas minsan naman pag nagtatanong ako sa nanay ko.. Kahit na i-eexplain niya sakin.. In the end sasabihin niya..
"Bakit di niyo to alam? Di ba tinuro? Dapat kasi nag-aadvanced reading ka.. Nung college ako basa lang ako ng basa, solve lang ng solve ng problems para masanay."
Parang... "Sorry na po, mama.. Di ako katulad mo.. Iba naman kasi ako"

Nakakafrustrate lang talaga. Well, I'm just sharing my frustrations.. Hay.
Hindi ko kasi alam kung anong gagawin ko, ang dami nilang gusto sa akin. Yun nga, matagal ko nang sinasabi, feeling ko I'm living up to their expectations, kung anong gusto nila sakin.. Okay lang, pero can't I live my own way? Iba kasi yung goals ko din sa buhay, hindi lang naman acads ganyan.

I just hope they'd understand. Sana kasi pinakikinggan ako at naiintindihan. Naiintindihan ko din naman kasi yung concern nila, pero sana intindihin din yung side ko.. Ayun lang.

Sana sa pagbasa mo nitong blog ko ay mas nakilala mo ako. Sana naiintindihan mo rin ako. Kung hindi, okay lang... Maiintindihan ko. Maraming salamat.

All We'd Ever Need

Memorable 'tong song na ito. Ito ata yung isang song ng Lady Antebellum na napaiyak ako. Dalawang songs kasi yun ng Lady Antebellum na napaiyak ako, yung isa ata ay Need You Now. Pero ito ata talaga yung naiyak ako. Thanks, Rjoy. Thanks talaga. :) Hahaha.

Pakinggan niyo yung kanta at pakinggang mabuti ang lyrics. Basahin niyo na rin.

Just sharing.

All We'd Ever Need
by Lady Antebellum

Boy it's been all this time and I can't get you off my mind and nobody knows it but me

I stare at your photograph, still sleep in the shirt you left and nobody knows it but me 

Everyday I wipe my tears away. So many nights I've prayed for you to say..

I should've been chasing you
I should've been trying to prove that you were all that mattered to me 
I should've said all the things that I kept inside of me Maybe I could've made you believe that what we had was all we'd ever need

My friends think I'm moving on but the truth is I'm not that strong and nobody knows it but me.

I've kept all the words you've said in a box underneath my bed and nobody knows it but me

But if you're happy I'll get through somehow
But the truth is I've been screaming out.. 

I should've been chasing you
I should've been trying to prove that you were all that mattered to me 
I should've said all the things that I kept inside of me
Maybe I could've made you believe that what we had was all we'd ever need

It was all we'd ever need
I thought it was all we'd ever need Ohh

I should've been chasing you
I should've been trying to prove that you were all that mattered to me

I should've said all the things that I kept inside of me
And maybe I could've made you believe That what we had, mmm
Ohh that what we had
What we had
It was all we'd ever need

The Sleeping Brain Student

Read my earlier blog entitled Ang Natutulog na Utak ng Estudyante and then read this.
This is just MAJOR MAJOR laughtrip. :)

The Sleeping Brain Student
(translated by Google Chrome)

A happy new year friends! More About you?

New year with friends, new year. Come and have fun .. Fun. Fun. All rights reserved!
But while mass, gradually faint in our minds: Hala! A holiday that!
Yes, my friend, yes. A holiday that. January 4, a holiday that. UP Diliman.
While January 1 is. Forget first, tally, we have fun.
January dos. January 2. Brother.
January three. Januray 3. Have later on.
By the evening ahead ... OPEN!

Yes, probably so becomes the reaction of most of our students when Christmas Break we want to just have fun, relax and forget stress, forget acads. But while approaching the new year as we come to the truth of our being students, we have many more requirements. While far more is to ignore just say .. But the close, then we just mapagtatanto, "Oh! Why now I just do it?"

What is the problem if we do this just now?

Cramming? Gosh, I know so we can pagccram. Problem we have all that, we also long nasosolusyonan. We know just by the way to cram. Right?High school just eh. But yes, much harder to cram into college, to work around ie. So, no Major Major problem that's just cramming turn. Certified crammers that the majority of us eh. Then, let's not specify.

But not eh. There is a problem still with cramming. Especially when the new year.

Because when Christmas Break, we forget all the rest because we want ...When we forget everything, sometimes we forget that. The brain is just the break we were rejoicing and relaxation and just whatever I'm sure there acads onti lang yung their brain. By January three, all of us trying to revive our dormant brain. What's happening? None. Long wake the sleeping brain. Dormant oil. Difficult to dissolve.

Yes, we can magcram. Magcram we can if we know your answer. What if we do not know your answer?

It 's when we do not know the answer edi should wake our brain! Eh how to wake up our brain is asleep acads it from? How those who appear ignorant if full of fun and just what the brain we do? Nothing bad that concentrated pleasure. But if you need your book under the grandmother's trunk, and full of what clothing and what clutter your trunk, Why poor kalkalin that!Oil seems to be asleep, difficult to wake.

And what happens when we do not wake up the brain? Homework with us.Sometimes we think, "ah, just two problems that, so I just quickly fill yan."Yes, you really be answered quickly, just short. But wait. Gano you long to think about?

When should I start my homework, of course! One time I just stared and no kidding done. Until now I have done. So I'm here and nagtatype eh. You notice? So how am I now? Kidding 8:30 class tomorrow and I have not done so. When my brain still awake?

Sometimes I do, I only sleeps here, maybe I mapanaginipan your answer ....

A great ... ASA! more mapanaginipan Where do your answer. But it sometimes happens that I wake, I remember. But what if not?

I give this prediction, we go to our classes tomorrow, still staring us in our teachers. Does not want to listen, I want more holidays. What, right?

Just staring us in our teachers, no one understood what he says, no one enters the brain, because those left on the brain in our beds ... Because the turn, relish relish another sleep especially during this cold, right? So what we do in class tomorrow? Tutunganga? EDI would do just content to go diva. Also gone.

Actually, the first day of school in January seems to me telepathically Wake ... I learned nothing else ...

But thinking yang yan is just high school. I think, in college, lessons straight away in January. If all that my Physics teacher is up Dec16 naglelecture, and those other teachers in high school I immediately naglelesson January 4 eh. There would probably really right?

What that really so? What will?

Woe is just by the way that I do not know. Just me, just wake the brain.
....

Really hope to stir up our minds we are, in linear hinaba I wrote this, we also know we still like to vacation. But there school tomorrow. So. Who knows. HAHAHAHA. Gudlak.

Ang Natutulog na Utak ng Estudyante

Isang masayang bagong taon mga kaibigan! Musta na kayo?

Bagong taon na mga kaibigan, bagong taon na. Halina at magsaya.. Magsaya. Magsaya. MAGSAYA!
Pero habang nagsasaya, unti unting sasagi ito sa ating mga isipan: Hala! May pasok na!
Oo, aking kaibigan, oo. May pasok na. January 4, may pasok na. Sa UP Diliman.
Habang January 1 pa. Kalimutan muna, tara, tayo ay magsaya.
Enero dos. January 2. May bukas pa.
Enero tres. Januray 3. May mamaya pa.
Pagsapit ng gabi...HALA BUKAS NA!

Oo, malamang ganyan ang nagiging reaksyon ng karamihan sa ating mga estudyanteng kapag Christmas Break ay nais nating magpakasaya lamang, magpahinga at kalimutan ang stress, kalimutan ang acads. Ngunit habang papalapit na ang bagong taon lumalapit na rin tayo sa katotohanan ng ating pagiging estudyante: marami pa tayong requirements. Habang malayo pa ay binabalewala lang natin to.. Ngunit pag malapit na, saka lang natin mapagtatanto, "Naku! Bakit ngayon ko lang ginagawa ito?"

Ano ba ang problema kung ngayon lang natin ito ginagawa?

Cramming? Sus, alam kong kayang kaya natin ang pagccram. Matagal na nating problema yan, matagal na rin naman nating nasosolusyonan. Alam na natin kung pano mag cram. Diba? Nung high school pa lang eh. Pero oo, mas mahirap mag cram sa college, magagawan ng paraan yan. So, hindi na MAJOR MAJOR ang problemang iyan kung cramming lang naman. Certified crammers na yung karamihan sa atin eh. Sige nga, sabihin niyong hindi.

Pero hindi eh. May problema pa rin sa cramming. Lalo na kapag new year.

Kapag Christmas Break kasi, kinakalimutan natin lahat dahil gusto natin ang pahinga... Kapag kinalimutan natin ang lahat, minsan nakakalimutan nga natin. Ang nasa utak lang natin pag break ay pagsasaya at pagpapahinga at kung ano man basta sigurado ako onti lang yung may acads  sa utak nila. Pagdating ng Enero tres, sinusubukan nating lahat na buhayin ang ating natutulog na utak. Anong nangyayari? Wala. Matagal gisingin ang natutulog na utak. Parang tulog na mantika. Mahirap matunaw.

Oo, kaya nating magcram. Kaya nating magcram kung alam natin yung sagot. Pano kung hindi natin alam yung sagot?

Aba'y pag hindi natin alam ang sagot edi dapat magising ang ating utak! Eh paano magigising ang ating utak kung tulog pa ito mula sa acads? Paano lalabas yung mga pinag-aralan kung puno ng mga kasiyahan at kung ano ano lang ang utak natin? Wala namang masama na puro kasiyahan. Pero kung kailangan mo ang iyong libro na nasa ilalim ng baul ni lola, at puno ng mga kung ano anong damit at kalat ang iyong baul, aba'y mahirap kalkalin yan! Parang mantikang tulog nga, mahirap gisingin.

At anong mangyayari pag hindi magising ang ating mga utak? May mga homework tayo. Minsan iniisip natin, "ah, dalawang problems lang yan, kaya kong sagutan yan mabilis lang." Oo, masasagutan mo naman talaga ng mabilis, maikli lang. Pero teka. Gano mo katagal pag-iisipan?

Nang sisimulan ko na dapat ang homework ko, aba! Isang oras lang ata ako nakatitig at walang nagagawa. Hanggang ngayon di ko pa nagagawa. Kaya nga ako nandito at nagtatype eh. Halata ba? So paano na ako ngayon? 8:30 ata ang klase ko bukas at hindi ko pa ito nagagawa. Kailan pa gigising ang utak ko?

Minsan ang ginagawa ko, tinutulugan ko lang muna, baka mapanaginipan ko yung sagot....

Isang malaking... ASA!! Asa pang mapanaginipan ko yung sagot. Pero minsan nangyayaring pagkagising ko nga, maalala ko na. Pero pano kung hindi?

Hula ko nito, pagpasok natin sa mga klase natin bukas, nakatitig pa tayo sa ating mga guro. Ayaw pang makinig, gusto pang magbakasyon. Ano, tama ba?

Nakatitig lang tayo sa ating mga guro, wala pang naiintindihan sa mga sinasabi niya, wala pang pumapasok sa utak, kasi naiwan pa yung mga utak natin sa ating mga higaan... Kasi nga naman, ang sarap sarap pang matulog lalo na sa panahon ngayong malamig, hindi ba? So anong gagawin natin sa klase bukas? Tutunganga? Edi sana wag nalang tayong pumasok diba. Wala rin naman.

Sa totoo lang, ang unang araw ng pasok sa January sakin ay parang pampagising ng utak lamang... Wala pa kong natututunan...

Pero yang pag-iisip na yan ay sa high school lang. Sa tingin ko, sa college, diretso leksyon agad sa January. Eh kung yung guro ko nga sa Physics ay hanggang Dec16 naglelecture, at yung ibang guro ko sa high school ay naglelesson na agad ng January 4 eh. Malamang may gagawin na talaga diba?

So pano na talaga? Pano na??

Aba ewan ko kung pano na. Basta kung ako sayo, gisingin mo na ang utak mo.

....

Asa pang gigisingin na talaga natin mga utak natin, sa hinaba haba ng sinulat kong ito, alam naman nating gusto pa rin nating magbakasyon. Pero may pasok na bukas. So. Bahala na. HAHAHAHA. Gudlak.

A Rewind of My 2010

Last year, I was not able to write much about a lot of things. Now, its already 2010. Before I move on to another year and make my resolutions, I want to reminisce the things that happened in the past year. It was a very important, significant and memorable year after all.

Two Thousand and Ten. Our Year. 2010.
This rewind is based on my planner and what I remember.

JANUARY.

I thought I fell in love. I learned a lot about false love. I felt the feeling of failure when I was waitlisted in Ateneo. I celebrated when I passed the UPCAT! 2010-24780. BS Chemical Engineering (5 years). Tara treated me a slice of cake at Chocolate Kiss afterwards. Ada and I became an apprentice at the Chemical Engineering lab under Maam Babylin, Sir Jan, kuya Edrick, kuya Alvin etc. I sold shoelaces and other dry goods for Practical Arts.



FEBRUARY.

I tried to push the Tri-Regional Workshop with PSYSC as an RC, even though I was not the chairman of NCR. I had a lot of meetings and bonding moments with PSYSC. I woke up early to cook spaghetti or baked mac and sold it for 35 pesos at school. I made a documentary for econ "Bala O Kinabukasan" which placed 3rd (?), I think, in the ECONVERGENCE at Los Banos. Abe and I sang in Tara Mae's debut. I was able to dance all my crushes in high school in the JS PROM! <3

MARCH.
I received two awards in the Recognition Day: Best in Science & Best in Math. This was the 2nd year I got an award. However, my parent's weren't there. So they just gave me a UP Jacket as a gift. My two aunts came along with my two cousins in my recognition day.

I had an overnight stargazing with UPIS Science Society! Finally, we were able to push through the Tri-Regional Workshop at Phivolcs (March 6, 2010). I delivered a speech in front of many students.

We wore fatigue in the CAT. We were able to finish our English 10 paper and defend it. It was hard bound. Haha. I got my student license but did not use it. We had our BIVOUAC at Camp Capinpin. We had a lot of team building activities with my batchmates in CAT.

APRIL.
I took the Advanced Placement Exam for Math 11 and Math 14 because I was curious. I wanted to know what college exams were like. I tried to take the exam, I reviewed a bit because my parents told me that I should pass the exam or they will be ashamed. I passed both exams.

I had a grand reunion with all my cousins in my mother side because it was the 50th Wedding Anniversary of our grandparents. It was fun. I started the photoshoots. My cousins danced and sang.

I graduated with high honors. I slept in a batchmate's house. I went swimming with owten. I parted with my batchmates. I cried. I learned to let go.

I moved on to college. I prepared my papers. I pre-enlisted. Ready set go.

MAY.
I went to Bohol. The flight was to Cebu, then to Bohol. My father and I had a tour. We went to Chocolate Hills, Baclayon Church, etc. We had a heavenly experience at Alona Beach, Panglao. It was PARADISE. I went snorkeling and I loved the corals. I had an adventure in Cebu City. May 6, I left Cebu and went to Manila and went home and then straight to the freshmen registration at the College of Engineering.

I met new friends. I met my blockmates at facebook. I had bonding with Diane. I met a new friend, Gilleanne, she stayed with us for the month. I had a great time with her. We had a lot of photoshoots and movie marathons. I loved the feeling of having a "sister" at home. Haha.

I went on an outing with the ChE family. I had a lot of fun taking pictures and singing. Hahaha. I did my father's work (data) for a bit of money.

JUNE.
It was the start of a new chapter in my life. I met new friends. I met new classmates. It was not hard for me to fit in. I had a lot of fun with my block, G3. They were cool, crazy and fun. We loved pictures.

I met new people from different orgs, KEM and Engg Soc. My phone dived into the water. HAHAHA. I got a new phone.

JULY.
I tried to apply for an org and then I needed to defer. I cried. Haha.

The application process of PSYSC started. I had a new friend, Jan, that soon became my buddy. I went to the PEP RALLY, UAAP Opening game with Camille and a few blockmates. I had bonding with PSYSC. UBE! XD I watched UPCAT the Movie again. I went to the Freshie Concert.

I started to have a lot of papers because of Eng10. Most of my classmates were Eng Stud majors. Fortunately, I had a new friend, Damian, my Eng10 buddy. :) I did a groupwork with my Geog1 groupmates: ENGGCON. My groupmates were the best! \m/

Mik and I went on a "date" on her birthday. I treated her with an ube cake @ red ribbon. :)

AUGUST.
I had a taste of the deadly midterms and long exams of Math 53 and Chem 16. The so-called hell weeks. I had a taste of Geog 1's fantastic field trip! It was a fantastic bonding experience with my classmates.

I practiced dancing for Diane's cotillion but I wasn't able to participate in the debut. :( I turned 17. I had a simple party with some of my friends at home. :) I think I fell in love. Again?

I did the same mistake.

SEPTEMBER.
I had an awesome month with PSYSC! I was able to be a proctor and checker and emcee in the PSO eliminations. Fun fun fun! It was very nostalgic. I became a facilitator in the MathSciAKa. I had fun with the kids. I was also a facilitator/proctor in the PSO Finals. Nostalgic. BUSOG NA BUSOG AKO SA PSYSC! Ang saya saya. :D

I went skin diving at Bauan, Batangas. I dived 10-20 meters under the sea. We saw a PAWIKAN and we followed it. There were many many many corals and fishes. I love the ocean. I love skin diving!!

OCTOBER.
I had a great APPS NIGHT with PSYSC 10a! I love 10a! :D The practice sessions were bonding sessions. I cooked 4 kgs of baked mac for PSYSC. :)

I did not have a taste of the college finals! Exempted ako sa lahat. :D But I did my English10 paper. :)

I was stuck at home the whole sembreak.

NOVEMBER.
I had a taste of the registration process in UP Diliman. University of the Pilapines.

Back to school! Freedom! New classes. New classmates. New friends. New requirements. New books. New problems. Hahahaha.

I had an overnight planning/bonding session with PUB LOVE of PSYSC. AWESOME! Secrets were.. secrets. :))) I became a part of the e-catalyst team, catalyst anniv team, and psysc song team (piano & vocals).

DECEMBER.
I had a taste of the Physics 71 exam and the VERY DEADLY CHEM 17 EXAM. It was very deadly that it could turn you into a zombie. Hahahaha.

I had an awesome lantern parade and fireworks display. Memorable indeed. :)

I went shopping for gifts until 12mn! (Dec 23). I had a lot of Christmas Parties with CFC. I went to Nicasia for Story telling... I told the kids a Christmas Story.

I had a great Christmas Party with my family and cousins (Dec24). My family went to SM and exchanged gifts (Dec 25).

I went to Bicol, reunited with my cousins and became a princess! I became Ariel from the Little Mermaid. I wore a gown. We celebrated Li's birthday.

Dec31. We went back to Manila. We left 4:30am and arrived home 5pm. We celebrated the new year's eve in a very very simple way. :)

------------------------
A lot of things have happened. A lot of things have changed. There was so little time. Time goes by so fast...

Now it's a new year. I wonder, what's in store for us? What will happen next?

My dear friends, thank you for being part of my life, especially my 2010. I hope and I know you will still be a part of my 2011 and the years to come. Thank you so much. :)
