one week isn't enough for a vacation..

.. I wanted to have a break for a little longer but at the same time, I'm also getting a bit bored doing nothing.. I still have three days to relax (?) and feel the summer heat.. yes, I can feel the heat.. and it's burning me..

hmm.. how long have I been silent? According to my files, the last time I wrote a blog entry was on April 11, Wednesday.. well, I’ll start from where I ended..

April 11, Wednesday:
I went to the Chikka office for the orientation regarding my internship (which would start on Monday, April 23). I believe I went online after that.. Anyway, the orientation was fine. I was able to meet the other interns and I was glad that Angel was there. She’s also from UP.. there are four of us in the group under Sir Victor, and the other two are from DLSU.. we just signed some papers, and Ms. Mia, briefed us with what we’re supposed to do during our internship. We also talked about our schedules and settled other issues..

April 12, Thursday:
We had our music min practice.. and the only bad thing about it was the invasion of my greatest enemies – mosquitoes..

April 13, the dreaded Friday the 13th:
I went to school to register for the summer classes. Our practicum isn’t required; it’s an elective so we have to enroll so we can get the credits from it.. there were some ‘nice’ things that happened on my way to UP.. ask kuya ian/tweet2 if you want to know what those things were.. =) however, while there were wonderful things coming my way, there were also some bad news waiting for my arrival.. I didn’t find my name in the eligibility list, which makes me ineligible to enroll.. “good heavens”, I thought.. the reason stated was “did not satisfy contract” which was a big mistake because I know for a fact that I did.. but of course, words aren’t enough.. what they need were documents to prove that I have satisfied what was written on the contract.. good thing I bought my completion form and some of my class cards.. but, there’s still a problem, one of my instructors haven’t submitted the class cards yet.. hmm.. do I need to go into details? It’s quite long.. again, ask tweet2 for more info.. ask alpha for she was with me for the longest time.. by the way, that girl had also her share of struggles.. and so I asked her if she wanted to go with me to Quiapo.. for some reason, Quiapo has been my sanctuary during the frustrating, difficult, and trying times like these.. we hoped to attend the mass but we were too late so we stayed at the adoration chapel instead.. there, we breathed out everything.. all the frustrations, depressions and whatever “-ions” we had.. as I expected, I felt a lot better after crying my heart out.. and I believe alpha felt the same.. =) it was a tiring day.. and when I got home, I can’t do anything but lie down and sleep..

Oops, I forgot to say: I’ve been worried about Friday the 13th since my grandfather died (April 13, 2001).. but I guess things have changed and now, I’m no longer afraid of Friday the 13th..

April 14, Saturday:
I had my “girl thing” and I was bedridden.. I must say that it was among the most uncomfortable days I’ve ever had.. I suffered from ulcer and dysmenorrhea.. you could guess that I was really having a hard time..

April 15, Sunday:
Again, I stayed in bed all throughout the day.. I wasn’t able to attend the mass and to serve as part of the choir.. =(

I spent time watching “blaze of glory” and I had an instant crush on JC Chavez Jr. he’s everything I want.. haha! “he has the looks of an actor but the punch of a killer” as commented by Quinito Henson and Chino Trinidad.. he hasn’t lost any game and out of his 31 wins, 24 were by TKO.. he’s really admirable!

April 16, Monday:
I went to school again to go on with my enrollment (after getting the required documents from Ms. Mia of Chikka) and through God’s grace, I was able to finish the registration.. binoy was with me and we really had a great time together.. we ate ice cream and stayed at the track oval while waiting for chai.. there, we talked about almost everything under the sun, love stuffs in particular.. when chai arrived, we ordered halo-halo from LKB and bonded again at the track oval..

Sarap talaga ng feeling na kasama ang barkada.. and although there were only three of us, we were still able to enjoy each other’s company.. =)

April 17 & 18 (Tuesday and Wednesday):
I did nothing aside from house chores and reading the PDL..

April 19, Thursday:
Some bad things really annoyed me.. kuya ian knows that.. but my day ended beautifully as I was able to spend the night with my brothers and sisters in the community.. after the music min practice, we went to kuya tirso’s house and ate the usual meal – pansit.. at syempre kasama na ang kwentuhan dun.. =)

Tagal ko na rin palang nawala sa service.. well, sabi nila.. kung sa bagay, na-miss ko na rin sila.. hmm.. excited na ako sa outing.. sana talaga makasama ang karamihan lalo na si kuya ian, ang aking paboritong kuya.. =)

April 20, Friday:
I just finished writing about what had happened during the previous week.. and this time, text messages na naman ang idadaldal ko..

I have 17 messages in my inbox and 14 of those are quotes about life, love, and some other things.. I find every quote worthy to be mentioned so here they go:

*it’s better to have nobody than somebody who is half yours, half there or doesn’t want to be there, or is there and then suddenly disappears*
>>get’s nyo ba? Honestly, I’m not sure if I agree to it.. parang oo na parang hindi eh..

*when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown.. but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap the idiot on the face*
>>now, this one made me smile.. but I don’t think I’ll do that.. I’m not really that kind.. when someone annoys me, I usually lock myself up in a room, and cry my heart out while talking to my God.. in that case, hindi ako mapapa-away..

*GF: ihatid mo q
BF: wala aqong pera, inoperahan c lola, wala pang padala si dad
GF: ayaw mo? Hindi ka mka2score sken
BF: aba’y tingnan mo nga naman.. may naipit plng 200 sa wallet q*
>>ehem.. sino kayang natatamaan? Hehe..

*plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they did not slow down to enjoy it*
>>true!

*no one is born happy.. but all of us are born with the ability to create happiness*
>>true again!

*what if you don’t believe in love.. then someone teaches you how.. then you fall for him and you believed.. but.. what if he’s not supposed to love you.. only to teach you?*
>>ouch! That hurts.. hanggang dun lang ang comment ko..

*sometimes it’s not the tears that measure the pain, sometimes, it’s the smile*
>>agree!

*pag may mahal ka, be contented. Wag ka maghanap ng bagay na wala sa kanya.. wag mo sya icocompare sa iba.. kasi mas masarap magmahal nang kontento kahit di kumpleto, kesa kumpleto nga, di naman totoo*
>>sana marealize ‘to ng mga dapat maka-realize..

*if you want pain.. if you like tears..if you need sleepless nights.. and suffering.. find a friend.. and fall in love.. *
>>I don’t think so.. I don’t usually fall for a friend.. in fact, I haven’t done that yet.. I’ve fallen in love with just one person.. and he wasn’t my friend.. although we became the best of friends while we were together.. hindi ko lang talaga tipo yung ganun.. pag kaibigan, kaibigan lang.. and based sa experience ko, kadalasan, nagkakaroon ng lamat ang friendship once na nagsabi na yung guy na he has some other feelings for me.. alam ni binoy yun, di ba? *wink*

Here’s my own version of that quote: if you want pain.. if you like tears..if you need sleepless nights.. and suffering.. find an insensitive, selfish person.. and fall in love..

*the advantage of having a bad memory is that you can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times..*
>>hmm.. no comment..

And last but not the least, eto ang pinakamatindi..
*IF THE HEART IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST MUSCLES IN THE HUMAN BODY, THEN WHY IS IT SO EASY TO BREAK? =’(*
>>bakit nga kaya?

At para wakasan ang napakahabang post na ito, here’s something which inspired me.. I got this from kuya ian..

"from your view point, everything's a mess but from my view point, everything's perfect"
- God (Joan of Arcadia)


P.S. if you’ll notice some errors, whether typographical or grammatical, pagpasensyahan nyo na.. medyo nanlalabo na rin kasi ang paningin ko at pagod na ang mga mata ko para mag-proofread pa.. salamat sa pang-unawa.. God bless everyone! =)
