hoping for the best

ang bilis ng mga pangyayari..
hanggang ngayon, windang pa rin ako..
hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko..
pero ayos lang..
kaya ko to..

lss ko for today:


sway by bic runga..

lines that stuck


"...i should be much to smart for this
know it gets the better of me sometimes
when you and i collidei fall into an ocean of you
pull me out in time don't let me drown
let me down
i say it's all because of you...

...say you'll stay don't come and go
like you do...
sway my way yeah i need to know
all about you..."


sh*t mushiness na naman..
pero ngayon kasi, mas mature na ako..
mas alam ko na kung anong gusto ko..
alam kong may mali pa rin..
kailangan mag-isip nang maigi
mag-usap nang masinsinan
para ngayon, wala nang mali..
ayoko na ng hang-ups..
ayoko nang magawa ang mga maling nagawa ko nun..
gusto ko, this time, lahat smooth sailing...



sana...

everything's falling into place...

yeah..
everything's been quite sh*tty these days..

but better days have come..
and they are here to stay...


thanks to:

ate claire

funny thing.. one year and three hundred sixty four days of loneliness are over..

i hopeÜ

*fingers crossed*

disappointed

if there's one thing that i could hardly accept in my life.. that would be disappointment..
i'm feeling it right now, and it's crushing me..

could i just die right now?

i just hate this feeling so much that my head feels like exploding..
my heart has a dozen broken pieces scattered everywhere...
dang! i hate myself.. can i just die at this moment?

i have 2 long tests on tuesday..
i haven't studied for any..
i spent my friday inefficiently..
i had a busy saturday..
an even more hectic sunday..
another depressing monday coming up..
can i just skip tuesday?

i hate my life..
it's so messed up..

i hate wasting my time for something that i did enjoy but to the cost of my academics..
dang opportunity costs..
can't i just have the best of both worlds?

when can i ever fix this...

am i not responsible enough?

though i am already tempted to cry this all out..
i have no tears to shed.. even if i wanted to..

i just want to have everything i want...
can't just everything fall back into its place.
this place is reeked...
i hate everything's that happening to me...

roots, wings and flowers

grow where you are planted
let those roots grow deeper
and provide a sturdy foundation
to keep you on the ground
as you grow higher

fly to the clouds
seek higher goals
use your wings
and they will take you
wherever you command them to

never forget the fruits of your labor
cherish and take pride on them
but never stop achieving
the road is still far ahead
the walk will never end...

salamat sa Gabay, inspirado na naman ako

miss

tatlong araw nang walang pasok..eto.. lugmok ako sa bahay ngayon..umalis na ang maid namin kaya balik na naman kami sa gawaing-bahay..nakakainis..buti ngayon na bakasyon..e pano pag may pasok na?pag kailangan ko nang umuwi ng late?ainako.. bahala na..
ayun, sa tatlong araw na walang pasok, may mga tao akong hindi nakita..pero nakakapagtaka man, hindi ko naman sila (siya, specifically..) namiss..sa totoo lang, marami na akong taong hindi na namimiss kahit gaano pa kami kalapit noong mga panahon na madalas ko sila makita at kahit alam ko na matagal na ang panahon na hindi kami nagkita..kaya kapag sinasabi ko na "i miss you".. sana lang, mapanindigan ko yun.. kundi, para lang siyang pampalubag loob sa "i love you".. naks.. o diba.. ewan, ginamit ko na kasi yun noon e..
isa pa, parang walang katumbas na filipino word and "miss"..hindi ba uso sa mga pinoy ang ma-miss ang ibang tao dahil sa madalas na magkita at magkausap ang lahat..ewan ko.. wala naman akong maibabahaging profound na paliwanag ukol dito.sumagi lang naman sa isip ko... hindi naman talaga ito totoong mahalaga..
ayun..wala na akong maisip..nalulungkot lang ako dahil umuulan..
ayaw ko talaga ng ulan.. lalo na pag nasa labas ako ng bahay..nakakadumi sa paa..nababasa ang mga gamit at damit ko..kahit na ba nagiging dahilan ito ng pagka-suspindi ng klase..e nakakainis nga e.. ilang araw nang walang sweldo dahil walang allowance...pero siguro, ang tanging bagay na ikinatutuwa ko sa ulan, parang nahihilamusan ang siyudad.hindi gaano mausok (pero maputik pa rin)

saka nung minsan, magkasukob kami sa maliit kong payong habang nasa ilalim ng batibot tree..

do i have to worry?

a lot of weird things are happening this week..
lots of things are changing..
do i like them? i can't tell..

destiny..
i don't believe in destiny..
it's a crappy thing that cowardice people rely on because they don't have the guts to make decisions by themselves..

anyway...
things are happening not by coincidence..
i am not stupid..
but i should also be careful..
i don't want to fall into a trap..

i don't want to hurt anymore..


shame on you for you fooled me once..
shame on me, i was fooled for the second time..
if i get fooled the third time, then i would be forever in shame...


however, should i not take risks with life?
is this risk worth the return?

the previous post was a pile of rubbish

well, as said in the title..
it indeed was a pile of rubbish..

just finished my guidance interview and i set new goals:

1. stop procastinating
2. be organized (again...)
3. leave excess baggage
4. manage time wisely
5. unwind at the right moments
6. stay healthy

such a short list, but not as easy as it seems...

uncertain

i know i shouldn't be blogging at the moment..
i have a stat lt in two days and i just started cracking my notes..
but well, i can't concentrate that much because something's bothering me..

unless i get it off my mind for a while, then maybe, i could finally get back to my books..

i know i shouldn't be thinking of these things because i am a prisoner of the past..
one year, eleven months and 23 days have passed, yet i'm still not sure if i have moved on..
it's difficult to say specially now that i am starting to develop weird feelings towards a friend..

anyway.. i was thinking, this could be it..
i like the way how it started and how it is developing..
although, i'm not quite sure if i am ready for it..

i don't know if i should bring it out to the open or just let things go their way..

i can hardly remember how great it feels to be in love..

how a 23kb file made me cry

As I begin this, let me just get one thing out of the way: Kathy is brilliant in Mathematics. There; you know it, I know it, now everybody knows it. Now we can proceed…

You see, there is so much more to Kathy than just her obvious achievements in the academe, and for us to dwell on those would not be doing justice the kind of person she really is. I, for one, consider myself very privileged to have seen that side of her grow throughout her 4 years in Quesci.
I met Kathy at the organizational meeting for one of the clubs in Quesci, and I remember how we hit it off almost instantaneously. Of course, my impressions of her did go from, “She’s so friendly” to “Lord, she’s noisy” to “Grabe, ang taray naman nito.” Still, by the end of the day, I swear, I was hooked. I knew definitely we’d be good friends for a very long time.
I like to think I helped “discover” Kathy in her first year. I fought to give her a chance on the team when she failed to make it outright. I believed then that she was destined for greatness; I still do. She hasn’t disappointed me yet—but, I digress. My point isn’t the fact that she made the team, you already know that story. It’s what she did when she made it that impressed me no end.
Because I was able to help train their batch for various competitions through all four years, I got to see first hand the kind of focus and effort Kathy put in our preparations. See, most people think winning the competitions comes easy out of talent. But there is a lot of sacrifice, tears and sweat that go into winning just one medal. Anyone can have talent, the will to cultivate it is an entirely different matter—and Kathy had the will.
In fact, Kathy’s sense of personal responsibility and accountability in training put even me to shame. In Team Quesci, we have these pillars called the 4 D’s: Desire, Determination, Dedication and Discipline. And with respect to all others, I must say that Kathy was the consummate example of all those traits. I really could not have asked for more from her.
But she did do more. And her crowning glory to me, wasn’t something she did do, but something she didn’t. In their 3rd year, Kathy qualified outright for a slot in the 3rd year team for the MTAP. But she gave up her slot for her close friend, Mai-Mai Pastrana—a gesture which is almost unheard of among contestants, even amongst us. And not that Mai-mai didn’t deserve to be in the team; but certainly, Kathy did too. It was just an unfortunate circumstance that there was limited room.
But that is precisely the kind of friend Kathy is. She puts others before herself. In the family that is Team Quesci, if Millicent is the “mother figure”, Kathy is the perfect “ate”—gentler, more tender. With Kathy, there is no such thing as tough love. When she cares for you, trust that you will feel it. And it would literally warm your heart. I know it was always enough to just be around her to calm me down on my worst days in Quesci; and I have had some really bad days. I have now lost count of how many times Kathy has been there for me. I’m sure you’ve lost count too; go ahead, I dare you to count.

I could go on and on about Kathy, but a page simply wouldn’t be enough. So let me end with this: Kathy may not have won as many awards as her more prominent batchmates and teammates. But she was just as good and deserved just as much. But then again, there is no fair prize for having a golden heart. Besides, to her friends, Kathy is the prize.


*this is my yearbook write up (God, i hope it made it just in time)
and thanks to Jireh, i cried right after my first reading..
btw, i was known as kathy back in high school
