17TH

Seeooooow, it’s my birthday. (–,)

Im honestly having a hard time getting it all down my throat. It’s too hard to swallow. I’M F-N SEVENTEEN!! One more year to go and I’ll be, wait for it, LEGAL. Woaah.

But anyway, let’s focus on the now and deal with the later later. So, I was kinda bummed that I’ll be celebrating my birthday in Miag-ao, away from my family. And I’ll be going to classes instead of just bumming around. Craaaf. But what I thought would be a big bust turned out to be a big blast! I slept early on the night of the 25th but by 12am, my friends banged on the doors and woke me up, blindfolded me and led me to our dorm mini-library where they sang Happy Birthday for me and ate cupcakes, bread and VANILLA ICE CREAM! Yummmy. :))

My miag-ao barkada greeted me and gave me a manila paper greeting me ‘happy birthday’ witha little funny saying. I excused them for their lack of imagination when it came to giving gifts mainly because they’re, well, guys. Yes, my barkada is composed of 6 guys but they’re the best guys you could ever meet!! 🙂 Anywaaay, the day just kept on getting better and better. It feels good to be greeted! haha. Plus, I saw my crush today and so, it was kind of the cherry on top of a fastastic brithday experience in Miami!

But still, coming home and celebrating dinner with my family is the best thing ever. Nothing will ever beat that. My siblings also have gifts for me and it made it all the more special. And so, for all the greetings, gifts, treats & texts, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. trois cent! 🙂   

ALL-NIGHTER, BABY. 🙂

Ode to the moment

it’s when you’re just there with friends…
it’s when you force your pen to vomit black liquid because of thoughts and images lingering inside your head…
it’s when you drink coffee or tea or soda while having a meaningful conversation with someone…
it’s when you detach yourself from the world and drown in a fictional book…
it’s when you sit by the shore, bury your toes under the sand and watch the sunset…
it’s every convention, game, party, or concert you go to…
it’s every view of the world that sweeps you off your feet…
it’s every sip of alcohol and every puff you take from your cigarette…
it’s every step while taking a long walk to wherever your soles lead you to…
it’s every awkward silence when you’re just there sitting next to each other…
it’s every caress of the wind you feel on your face…
it’s every drop of rain that falls on your cold, shivering body…
it’s every trickle of sweat under the scorching heat of the sun…
it’s every dazzling pop of color in a monochrome painting…
it’s every click of your camera…
it’s every stroke of your paintbrush…
it’s every twang of your guitar…
it’s every beat your heart makes…
it’s every resonating sound you hear…

it is every breathtaking time…

and these are those moments…

moments i wish i could relive…
moments i wish lasted for more than a second…
moments i wish time didn’t have to stop…
moments i love and would forever remember…
moments that hit me hard and would never stop me from thinking…
moments that i feel so fortunate of having and experiencing…
moments i wish would happen again…
moments i had that were spent with them…
with her…
with him…
with you…
whoever you are…

now if only i could have stopped time…
if only…
then again, time urges you to move forward…
to think of the next big step your going to take…
to think of the next opportunity…
to make another moment happen once again…

maybe someday…
maybe later…
maybe hours from now…
maybe in the next five minutes…
maybe in a split second…

but it’ll happen…
it will…
i hope…

-WRITTEN BY A BEST FRIEND. GOD, I MISS HER.  SEMBREAK, PLEASE COME SOON.

Okay, so this week is dropping week in UP.  This is the part of the semester where your nerves get all hyped up and shake their little tailfeathers like hell. Me and my friends from AC are feeling the pressure. As in, feeling the pressure. We’re all geting a bit paranoid too. Maybe that’s because were neophytes and we dont get the whole complexity of the UP grading system. Or maybe we feel like a singko is not far from reach. I hope its still faaaar. VERY FAR.

But you know why Im so scared right now?  Im, well, failing MATH11. Everybody says its normal for students to fail in UP but Im getting jittery thinking about it because I dont want to disappoint my parents and everybody else for that matter. Im just so frustrated with myself. I study hard but I can’t seem to get it right in the actual exam! Goddemit! This is really my weakness.  I’m doing okay in my other subjects but I suck at Math.  Tni mkabawi ko sa next long exams ko. *sigh*

Maybe this is all a part of College. The stress (gdako na eyebags ko. So not cool), the struggles and of course, the fun that you experience while you go along with it all. HAAY, UP.

IBA KA, OBLE.
