five months of not posting here means lots of stories and stuff to put here NOW. hahaha... i don't even know how and where to start.

last semester.

first semester turned out good. i didn't get any failing grade, but i got a 3.0 on arch 26, that damn structural subject. my pre-final standing was 1.75, but i didn't study for my finals and got a very low grade of **%. hahaha. nakakahiya eh. my other grades are okay naman.

my life had highs and lows. obviously, because of our tight and busy schedule in arki, i had the chance of getting closer to my friends in the college. tambay, mcdo sessions, movie-watching, hanging-out (sometimes in the car), cracking jokes, laughing at each other... those are some of the things i won't forget about my barkada. and, i also got more active with arki forum and arkaira, being part of their execoms.

on the other hand, i lost contact with my high school friends, and even had conflicts with some of them, which are not yet resolved up to now. well, they're just cases of misunderstanding, i think. my friend convinced me to fix this mess now, but i don't think i'd like to do it now. i need more time to think and prepare myself.

september 18, a letter came from the us embassy, informing us about our schedule for the medical exam and interview for immigration to the united states. i was so shocked that i couldn't even talk to my friends or even attend my classes. good thing i have my friends like pat and loz, who comforted me and made me accept the situation much easier.

the semestral break.

so, my mom told me not to enroll for the second semester. wala naman na akong magagawa eh. the papers are in. i just have to enjoy the remaining weeks of my stay here in the philippines.

october 18, the arkikada (pat, jik, jax, jid, loz, maics, kay, meg and i) went to batangas again. we stayed their for four days. all of us really had fun. swimming, kayak, volleyball, frisbee, movies, walking, running... lahat na ginawa namin! but in the end, parang bitin pa rin ako. hahaha. at least we enjoyed every moment of it.

after that, wala na masyadong nangyari saken until...

second semester.

i did not enroll anymore. it sucks, obviously. i went to school many times just to visit my friends (miss ko na sila!) and do some org stuff. i helped my batchmates with the lantern parade (sayang nga lang, we didn't get any award) and practiced singing christmas songs with arkaira for our yearly caroling. for three days, we were able to collect 12,500 pesos! sobrang natuwa kami!

christmas break.

i'm stuck here in our place, doing nothing but eat, sleep and watch tv shows. at least i get to hang-out with my family more often than before. lola needs us so much now, because she has breast cancer and just had her operation a few weeks ago. good thing she doesn't need chemotherapy anymore. thank God.

christmas day was a-okay, with the usual gift-giving during the noche buena. i didn't get any gift other than cash. haha. napapagastos na naman ako. and for three days (27-29), raffy and i stayed at the condo para may kasama si ate. we kept ourselves busy with his gameboy. di namin matapos donkey kong country 2!

ayun. diary mode na naman ako. haha. anyway, we're planning to leave on the 29th of january. a few weeks left na lang. i still have lots of things to do. i can't even start packing up my stuff!
