These Are My Wishes For You
Sandra Sturtz Hauss
May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than its form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time in each day to see beauty and love in the world around you.
Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard you may be more than compensated for in another. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.

Goodbyes
This is the day that will end the year 2007. This year will finally say goodbye but where shall it go? Does a year die and journey to a next life just like humans? Or does it just stay in our memories forever? This year has been a year of goodbyes for me.
This is the year I said goodbye to my high school life. I graduated from high school last March.
This is the year I said goodbye to the high school friends, classmates, and batchmates I shared my happiness and sadness with.
This is the year I said goodbye to my high school teachers who imparted a lot of knowledge and wisdom I needed to survive life.
This is the year I said goodbye to my alma mater where I spent 9 years of my life.
This is the year I said goodbye to my family as I leave for Katipunan to study in college.
This is the year I said goodbye to Dagupan and Calasiao where I grew up.
This is the year I said goodbye to curfews, household chores, and parental supervision. (haha. Well, not really.)
This is the year I said goodbye to singlehood and finally gave my heart to a "fried chicken".
With all these goodbyes came all the hellos, too!
This is the year I said hello to my college life.
This is the year I said hello to new friends in college where some of them already hold a special place in my heart. I won't mention their names because they already know who they are. =D
This is the year I said hello to new professors who will make my college experience hard but fruitful in the end.
This is the year I said hello to my new school and new home (hopefully) for the next four years.
This is the year I said hello to my roommates and orgmates whom I consider as my new family.
This is the year I said hello to my dorm where I will live while studying in the Ateneo.
This is the year I said hello to more freedom and less parental supervision. (haha. But then again, not really.)
This is the year I said hello to a relationship that I pray will last for a lifetime if not forever.

I spent this last day of the year with my Karlo. I'll miss him so much. He will go back to Baguio this January 2 because their classes will resume the next day. This christmas break, we almost saw each other every other day. We went out last December 24, 26, 28 and 31. I so much miss him. *sigh*
*****************
Geez, classes start on January 7. Argh! Back to school, back to hell! Goodbye comfy outfits and hello dress code!
*****************
Blessings I received this year:
January - I passed almost all the college entrance tests I took except for UP.
February - He tied my shoelaces. haha.
He danced with me in our last prom.
March - I graduated from high school (is that really a blessing?)
I received the "perfect attendance" award during graduation. haha.
April - We became closer friends even if he already knew about it.
Precious moments were spent with my high school classmates and
friends.
May - Just like in April.
I started to meet potential friends through the net and some of them
became my blockmates!
June - My college life started. (Is this really considered a blessing? Oh well!)
July - I celebrated my 17th birthday and I gave my heart to Karlo (cheesy?mushy? corny? Who cares? =P haha)
Anna and I went to Baguio
August - I love chocolates! M&Ms, kisses, toblerones, twix, cadbury...
September - Hmm, can't think of something.
October - My first sembreak! Yay!
November - Hmm, I can't also think of something.
December - My first christmas as a college student and with my Karlo.
Unfortunately, this is the first christmas I didn't feel the christmas
spirit at all.
*****************
Have a super happy new year. I hope that 2008 has a lot of good surprises in store for all of us! Enjoy the last day of 2007 and the first day of 2008! Start the year with a prayer! God bless us all!

I Am Super Sad
...why can't chocolates or choco oreo donuts make me happy?
...why did Baguio seem different today?
...why can't I just forget about that girl who wants to steal my Karlo?
...why do I have to go back to Manila?
...why does this holiday season has to end?
...why am I still not used to college life?
...please take me back to high school!
...why can't I have super high grades?
...or why am I just not contented with the passing or so-so grades?
...why am I missing you so much?
...please tell me something comforting!
...why didn't I feel the Christmas spirit this year?
...why does this Christmas break has to end soooo soon?
...why can't I just live my life the way I want it to?
...why can't time just fly so fast and make me graduate already!
...I hate EMOs!
...but why do I feel like one?
...at one point in my life, I wanted this so therefore I do not have the right to complain in the first place!
...stupid me!
...I just want to shout at you "R"rrrr!
...just PLEASE! get lost!
...can someone just please cheer me up?
...it will be my hell week when I get back to the university.
...I'm gonna miss my blockmate, Michi. [take care!]
...happy birthday, dear papa! i love you!
...I'm not that li'l girl who used to be problem-free!
...I will turn 18 in about seven months.
...oh! how wish to go back to my childhood days and just think about dolls and cotton candies!
...life was sweeter back then.
...my life is really complicated right now.
...I don't even know why I'm taking up this course.
...not knowing where to end up in the future.
...kept on telling myself, "I can find a job anywhere." 'coz that's what the upperclassmen and alumni told me.
...it is a minute before nine o'clock in the evening.
...bonsoir!

My Christmas Blog Entry
It has been exactly a month since I last made an entry for my blog. Well, I had been so busy with school work and this is the only free time I have. Yesterday, Karlo fetch me at our house and brought me to their house together with Vinizza, Gabby, and Sev. We ate our lunch there. I also met one of Karlo's blockmates. Hmm, as always time flies soooo fast whenever I'm with him. Parang lagi na lang bitin. It's like I just started hanging out with him then it's time to go back home again. Hayy, long distance relationship is really hard. Parang ayoko na nga umuwi kahapon, tapos nagcomment si Sev...sabi niya "Ano ba yan! Parang adik ka na sa kanya!" I just igonred it. I mean, we don't always get to see each other. Kaya when I get the chance to spend time with him, sinusulit ko talaga. I do not think that is considered being addicted to a person. An example that I could think of when you say "adik sa isang tao" is when everyday na nga kayo magkasama, every day pa kayo magkatext and parang one minute lang kayo hindi magkita, nababaliw ka na. That, for me, is being addicted to a person.
So at around three in the afternoon, Karlo brought me back to our house. My tita, tito, cousins and I went to Quesban to celebrate our christmas there. My tita, tito and I also visited lolo Hilario, my tito's lolo, in the hospital. Even if lolo Hilario is not related to me, I cried when I saw him. He was really weak and he can't celebrate Christmas in their home even if he wanted to.
Anyway, I hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas this year. =D
