Exactly A Year Ago...

Joyeux anniversaire, little cousin Martin! Oh my! My little cousin is already seven years old. Who would have thought that God will let us have him for seven years and I pray we'll have him for sooooooo many more years to come. He is a premature baby and when he was born, the doctors were not sure whether he will survive or not. I think he was only 6 months and 2 weeks old in his mother's womb and then his mother gave birth to him already. He celebrated his birthday twice but today is his real birthday. The first celebration was at KFC Dagupan last March 19.

Justine Bianan, Ronellyn, and Karlo went to our house and celebrated Martin's birthday with us. After eating, we went to our old school and attented the HS '08 graduation. Wow! I didn't notice I survived a year in college. Exactly a year ago, we were there in our school's gym, wearing our caps and gowns, assembled to march, to receive our diplomas/medals/awards, to bid goodbye to our friends/barkadas/batchmates/teachers, and to prepare ourselves for college. When we arrived in our old school, I felt an extraordinary kind of joy, a joy I can't exactly explain how it really felt like. All I know is that it felt so good. Especially when I saw a few of my HS batchmates, those people who made my HS life sooooo memorable. It was just like the good--oh wait!---great old days, when we were sharing "cheese" and "kornikles", when we were copying homeworks (especially in math), when we were giving and calling our teachers a different name behind their backs (ssh!), patiently waiting or more like stalking our crushes, and when we were just hanging out and enjoying each other's company. Sigh! How I miss those times but oh well! I'm trying to get used to my new life now. And it was nice to spend time with them even if we only get the chance every vacation and not everyday. We laughed a lot today, took a lot of pictures, smiled a lot, and hugged a lot, too! We may not be the seniors of our school already and some may have forgetten us but I know that we somehow contributed/left something in our old school which will make our alma mater be proud of us. Our batch is already a part of history. Only a red book which we call the "roots", stuck in a corner in our library, will remind the future students of our old school that we became a part of ES. I miss my teachers, the guard, the canteen staff, my friends/classmates/batchmates and other people I met in my old school.

Oh and I miss Karlo, too! Not Karlo my boyfriend but Karlo when he was still my fried chicken.

Kumusta Naman Daw Ako Ngayong Holy Week?

Una sa lahat, tinamad akong mag-aral para sa Finals Week. Paano naman kasi, nasa vacation mode na ako tapos biglang magkakaroon ng Finals? Wala akong ginawa ngayong Holy Week kundi makipaglaro sa aking mga pinsan. Medyo sumagot lang naman ako ng problems galing sa sample test na ibinigay ni Sir Durwin Santos. Naku. Kumusta kaya ang magiging grade ko lalo na sa math at chem? Bahala na.

Ngayong Holy Week, nagkaroon na rin ako ng time para pag-isipang mabuti kung kumusta na ang lagay ng relasyon ko sa iba't ibang taong mahal ko. Napag-alaman kong hindi ko na nga talaga naaalagaan ang mga ito. Naramdaman ko ngayong bakasyon na sobrang namiss ako ng pamilya ko, lalo na si papa. Okay. Tanggap ko na na meron na siyang anak. Namiss din ako ng mga pinsan ko sapagkat sobrang saya nila nung dumating ako at gusto na agad makipaglaro sa akin. Gusto na nga rin tumabi sa akin sa pagtulog samantalang noon ay ayaw akong tabihan. Namiss din ako ng mga ibang kaibigan ko sa high school. Kahit magkakalayo kami, hindi nila ako nakalimutan at sabik silang makipagkita at makipagtelebabad sa akin. Well, hindi pala lahat. Masakit lang para sa akin na ayaw nang makipagkita sa akin ng bestfriend ko. May sinabi naman siyang rason ngunit---ahh basta. Alam ko magkalayo kami sapagkat sa Baguio siya nag-aaral at sa Manila ako. Bihira mag-usap at sobrang busy pero kung gusto pa rin naming maging magbestfriend may paraan, kung ayaw eh di maraming dahilan. Ahh...tama na. Nasaktan na ako ng maraming beses. Oo. Yug naramdaman ko ay parang nakipag-break sa boyfriend. Sinabi kong siguro kasi hindi ko pa naman naranasang makipagbreak at siyempre ayokong masubukan makipagbreak.

Kay Karlo naman, okay lang naman. Siyempre kailangan laging sumunod sa parents niya kung kelan kami puwedeng lumabas. Parang ako nga yung lalaki eh kasi mas ako yung pinapayagang lumabas with him. Haha. Niloloko ko nga siya kasi parang siya tuloy ang gf ko. Nyek. Once lang kami lumabas this Holy Week, sa mall lang kami. Ayaw niya kasi pumunta ng beach eh niyayaya ko siya. Twice ako napaiyak ni Karlo sa isang araw ngayong Holy Week. Una, kanina habang kumakain kami ng ice cream sa mall, nagsulat siya ng isang poem for me, nakakatawa yung mejo first part...pero ewan kung bakit at napaiyak na lang ako sa last part. Siguro kasi ang galing niya magsulat, nagawa lang niya yung poem within 10 minutes or siguro dahil naiyak ako sa tawa or baka naman mahal ko lang talaga siya kaya ako napaiyak? Ha. Ang labo ko. Gusto niyo ba mabasa yung poem na ginawa niya? Haha. Sige, share ko:

Summer oh it's so hot,
Like we're inside a boiling pot.
But with you, the heat I can bear.
Especially if I tossle your hair.
Eating ice cream and pizza with you,
What a joy to do.
Even if I am holding the umbrella,
It's okay, you are my little Cinderella.
I love it when we went to church together,
And you said I resemble my sister and mother.
I don't want to go to the beach today,
Maybe some other day?
I love you so much Justine,
To smell your hair with the scent of Pantene.
I miss you so much my wife,
You are the cream of my life..

Haha. Oh yun. Yung next na napaiyak niya ako dahil nakita ko yung scrapbook na gawa niya. It's not for me. He made it for a project. And naiyak na naman ako. Oo na. Iyakin ako. Para sa mga taong kilala talaga ako, alam na nila yun. Bakit ako naiyak? Uhm, may mga narealize lang kasi ako habang tinitignan ko yung scrapbook niya.

Anyway, masaya rin ako ngayong Holy Week kasi nakakain na rin ako ng masarap na luto ni tita at atsi Cion. Yay. Sa wakas, hindi na food from KFC, Mcdo, Shakey's o kahit ano pang kainan sa Katipunan. Nakakain na ako ng gulay at bangus. Yay. Ang sarap kaya ng bangus dito[Bonuan/Dagupan]. Namiss ko yun nang sobra.

Hayy, oh yun lang. Ang dami ko nang sinabi. Balik pa ako Manila bukas at may exam pa ako sa Monday at Tuesday. Rawr. Bahala na. Mamimiss ko buhay ko rito. Ano ba yan.. Magsesecond year na ko, hindi pa ako sanay sa buhay dorm at buhay sa univ.
