reunited

i woke up this morning with a smile on my face. my two best friends and i finally had the chance to hang-out just last night. we met up at ortigas, and landed at greenbelt in makati. so great. :)

the last time i saw dino was around half a year ago, when both of us were still in college. he graduated this past summer, and now working at HP in ortigas (he's leaving for singapore tomorrow, that's why i've thought of us having dinner before he flies). on the other hand, rika and i haven't seen each other for quite a while too, since our schedules at school don't jive, plus, uh, some more complicated things. hahaha.

as the three of us were having conversations while eating, i've realized that some things have changed since the last time we've been together. we weren't that uber close anymore like before, but hey, at least we still manage to communicate with each other even just on text. plus we've promised to ourselves that we'll hang more often in the next months, so it's all good. :)

it actually felt good that we've once again had the opportunity to catch up with each others lives and had all those reminiscing and such, though the night was cut short because dino had to go home to laguna, and rika has a daily curfew, as imposed by her parents. but twas still an evening we won't forget, since it's the first time this year that we've been able to do something we've used to do a lot before. missed that a lot. :)









thanks for the great evening, dinsky and rikaroo! till next time! :)

because i'm bored and the rain won't stop...

hohum. it's been raining all day. again. typhoon Glenda still on the run. so no classes again tomorrow. makes me miss school. hahaha, now that's weird!

answered some quizzes because of uber boredom...

nothing much on a weekend

gaaah. haven't posted for the past two weeks. haha.

first things first, the previous entry's issue's already been resolved. and i'm glad we sort of patched things up, though we haven't seen each other for so long already.

***

anyway, as the title puts, nothing much happened to me this weekend. i basically stayed home, except that yesterday, we did some repairing of Pesto (my Green Honda Civic), coz i'll be driving with some of my Arki Forum friends to Pampanga the next weekend, and went to Freedom Bar in the evening to watch the band Mana (Foom, Errol, etc.) perform. that time, i wasn't with the usual set of people i go to gimmicks with, but still, i enjoyed their company and we all had a great night. i guess it's about time i connect with more Arki people. hehe.

and it's been raining all day today, so i've spent most of the time lying on my bed. tried to do some school-related stuff, but didn't happen coz laziness hit me so hard, and probably because there are no classes in UP tomorrow due to the SONA. yebah.

***

and to update you guys about the past two weeks that i haven't blogged about, well, i'll start with Arki Forum. we have more than 20 applicants, and most of them seem okay... way too okay! the freshies are so full of energy, and they're so fun to talk to. the tambayan's alive once again, back to its crowded and lively state. some even went beyond 20 hours of tambay for the past week... ADDICTS! :p but seriously, i'm sensing that this batch of applicants (silver, that is, since it's the 25th year) will be the next big thing of the organization. the new blood of AF.

i REALLY hope so. i'm putting my faith in them. :)

and AF's 25th year anniversary in 3 WEEKS!!! aaaaah! we still don't have funds for the week-long celebration. we're having a hard time getting sponsors, so we've already asked some alumni for their assistance. i hope they respond... all of us can feel the pressure now, and it's so intense!!! honestly, i'm getting so nervous about this... oh well.

anyway, that's AF for now. as for my acads, my to-do list is already filled with sooooo many tasks. tons of work are piled up, that i don't even know where to begin. gaaah. this is killing me. worse, i have the CHEM 1 exam on the 9th of august, STS exam on the 10th, and LA 10 on the 11th!!! not to mention AF week starts on the 12th!!!

BOO.

***

and on to the serious thing.

i've been feeling so low for the past days due to a BIG dillema. the thing is, not much people notice it coz i've been trying to hide it from them. they see me smile and laugh most of the time, but they just don't know that i'm full of problems right now.

God, what did i do to deserve this?

have to think and decide... fast.

rain, rain, go away, you really make me sleep all day...

the pain of missing somebody so bad

i have two best friends. and both of them are so important to me.

so much.

but now, it seems like i've lost connection with one of them. she just had a boyfriend a week ago, hence we don't get to hang-out anymore since they're always together.

don't get me wrong. i'm not saying this because i'm being jealous. i'm her best friend and he's her boyfriend. and that's that. having a love relationship with someone is normal. but the painful thing is that the boyfriend is so jealous of me, and now he doesn't want me to come near her. she suddenly stopped texting or calling me. we get to chat sometime in YM, but i feel like it's not the same anymore.

and what am i supposed to do? NOTHING. i just have to accept the reality of not being able to spend time with her anymore, like what we used to do a lot before. if the boyfriend doesn't want to talk to me to fix this issue once and for all, and so be it. maybe i have to let go of my best friend. maybe the right thing to do now is to stay away from them before they do stay away from me.

if we meet each other at the corridors, then fine. she's still my friend. we'll still talk, but maybe not like before... coz i feel pain. what i'm so disappointed about right now is that i don't feel any effort from her anymore, to even just try to communicate with me and patch things up. i'm sad that she can't defend me from her boyfriend, and he's too narrow-minded to accept that WE'RE REALLY JUST FRIENDS.

shit. just when my time here in the philippines is like contained in one huge sandglass with the length of 23 months, this has to happen.

kung kelan malapit na akong mag-settle sa states, ito pa ang nangyayari.

i-defend mo naman ako sa kanya. parang awa mo na.

nami-miss na kita eh...

doing nothing on a sunday evening

my system responded to my blog post yesterday. i went to bed late last night (actually around 2 in the morning already), and surprisingly woke up around 7 in the morning. but since this chance of being able to sleep for a long period of time happens like once in a blue moon, coz of all the work and stuff around, i closed my eyes again, and...

the next time i looked at the clock, it's already past 12 noon. hahaha!

went back to makati for our family friend's baby's christening and a short celebration with delicious food over at the Manila Polo Club. went straight to the church right after, and we're lucky that we've been picked by the church people, among all others, to walk for the offertory. raffy and i walked with the candles while my tita and tito carried the... uh... sorry, i forgot. :p

we were then approached by the priest, and he blessed us with a short prayer. i felt so accomplished, even if it's just a simple task we did for the Lord.

*silence*

uh, am i being to religious here? so not me, eh? hahaha. :p



here comes a new week. brace yourself jas!

i need some sleep. hahaha.

*yawn*

haven't had much sleep for the past few days...

so i just got home from Gateway. my cousin and i watched the suspense/thriller film See No Evil, with the uber tall wrestler Kane as the bad (and i mean baaaaad) guy. it wasn't really that scary, though i've been covering my eyes for almost the entire length of the movie because of its bloodiness, surprising events, and all those... uh, eyeballs. better see the film so you guys would get what i'm saying. haha.

hmm... this day was actually a long one. our sustainable design class went to makati this morning to see an exhibit about German Ecological Architecture. and then it was followed by Sir Nic's birthday treat at Delifrance, where i ordered a good plate of Italian Round Sausage Pasta and a Mango Locco Frappe. yum... Thanks Sir! :)

haha. have to study for the arch 158 quiz...

***

the past week was okay, except that tuesday was sort of a bad day for the orgs because of the recognition issue. but the next day, wednesday, was a fun one when xtian, edpat, deo and i went to eastwood and played some billiards and bowling after painting the Arkaira tambayan. hahaha. i hope there would be more of us the next time we go there. :D

road troubleS

this is not my day i guess. really.

i almost got into FIVE ACCIDENTS today, all of them while driving. of course after the first one, i've told myself to be extra extra careful, yet the next one happened after TEN SECONDS, and the others followed hours after. i even avoided texting while driving, but still, things kept on getting fucked up.

i got home so exhausted, like all my energy's been drained off my system.

hmm. am i jinxed today?

oh well...

but on the other hand, the AF orientation went well, IMO. everybody had fun. i hope we'll have many applicants this time.

sorry, not in the mood to be uber happy...

uh... july?

so tired... i just finished my carpentry task for our arch 171 beam-column-footing mini model. it's been a while since i last used a handsaw, and now my right hand hurts so bad. haha. and unfortunately, sir ramirez changed his mind just this morning... we already have to mix and pour the concrete by tuesday instead of friday, meaning the formwork should be done by then. gaaaah.

the past days were quite okay, yet nothing much happened. well, except for yesterday (which was actually a long day for me), we had fun looking at all the zoo animals in, uh, Manila Zoo. haha. too bad, no camels. :p

and it's already JULY. it's been a month since i got back. and now i have so much work to do, and there's so many things running in my head.

AF's 25th YEAR ANNIVERSARY in 6 weeks!!! aaaaaah!!!

hahaha. spaced out.
