Scenes from my so-called life

Napulot ko lang kay Jeco. It's quite amusing. hehe. Your Most Personal Traits -- The Day-Sign of Your Birth Here are your strongest and most obvious personality traits. The delineation below describes who you are and how you appear to others, at least on the surface. In Aztec astrology this part of is your horoscope is your Tonalli, or Day-Sign, the form bestowed upon you by the Sun. Lizard: You are a true individual. You compromise only under extreme pressure, and then resent it if you have to. You often attract attention by being different, but this action often meets your "performance needs." More often, you are simply too involved in your own interests to even care what other people think about you. Because you have a strong desire to appear before the public in some way, it is highly likely that you do work that is creative or performance oriented, and you are probably very competent, possibly outstanding, at what you do. Your standards are alw

I miss you. It’s been eight months since we last had coffee and talked. I miss hanging out with you.   I miss talking to you. I love how we could talk about anything and everything, whether or not they make sense. I miss how we could make sense of senseless things and see the senselessness of things with sense.   I miss the way I laugh when we’re together. I don’t get to laugh as heartily as often as before.   I miss our road trips. I miss how we’d get in a car without any plans but to drive around. Then we’d have this crazy idea to go somewhere and we just go there. I have always believed they’re a healthier way of addressing our escapist tendencies.   I miss having someone I could tell my secrets to, and not just the naughty kind of secrets revealed in locker rooms (although I still tell you those), all secrets. When I’m with you I can be my true self. You know how stupid I can be and you know all the dirty laundry I keep, but you have stuck with me nevertheless. Y

Marahil ay hindi kumpleto ang buhay estudyante ko kung wala ang Sarah’s. Isang kahunghangan kung ni isang beses di ako pumunta dito. Ang Sarah’s lang marahil ang lugar sa UP Diliman campus na nagpapadama sa akin ng essence ng UPLB campus, ang essence ng inumang walang humpay. Kaya naman di ako masyadong naho-homesick noon.   Parang UPLB din ang atmosphere sa Sarah’s. Napakasimple ng disenyo ng lugar, samu’t-saring mga lamesang gawa sa kahoy o semento ang nakakalat dito. Nakapalibot naman sa mga lamesa ang mga monoblock chairs o kaya’y mga bangko kung saan ang mga Isko at Iska mula sa iba’t-ibang kolehiyo ng Unibersidad ay nakaupo at nakabilog.   Pati presyo ng alak, presyong probinsya. Para sa mga katulad kong di mahilig sa mga bar, kung saan di makatarungan ang presyo ng beer, Sarah’s is the place to be pag nasa Diliman area. Malayo na ang mararating ng isang daan mo.   Hindi masyadong maingay sa Sarah’s dahil residential ang palibot, bawal ang sobrang ingay. Pinapagalit

We kicked ass!   Ang sakit ng lalamunan ko, leche! Wala na ako halos boses, pero lahat ng pagsigaw at pag-chant kahapon ay worth it dahil panalo ang UP Pep Squad sa Cheer Dance Competition. Tapos na ang five-year reign ng UST (Although, I admire the Salinggawi Dance Troupe for putting on a good show).   I haven’t cheered that hard for a long time. Iba talaga pag may school spirit, madadala ka talaga sa energy ng crowd. Damang-dama talaga ang school pride. It kind of makes the dismal 0-14 win-loss card of the basketball team fade into the background. We have always been contenders for the cheer dance so never mind kung kulelat tayo sa basketball.   I had fun chanting the U-nibersidad ng Pilipinas cheer kasama ang sandamakmak na Iskolar ng Bayan. May passion talaga. And I was proud to sing the UP hymn after the UP Pep Squad received the trophy. I haven’t sung that song for a long time, too.   The crown is back where it belongs. It is back home. UP FIGHT!   Next year

Please! Kung sino mang may alam kung san pa meron (ubos na daw agad yung sa araneta kahapon in under one hour!). I need three tickets! Baka may pwedeng makatulong sakin! Salamat.

I know it's my own fault and I'm sorry. But I'm more sorry for me. I could have. I really could have, couldn't I? But I could only heave a sigh now. A long, drawn out sigh. On the other hand, I could still smile and even laugh as I shake my head. At least I could still do both. Well, as they say, "Ces't la vie." And as we say, "Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be." You know, we really ought to give credit to that song's composer. I could still smile when you smile. I could still laugh when you laugh. But there's something new I could do now. I could let it go and let you be happy. Don't worry about me. I can still be happy. I choose to be happy. And it's not like I'm gone or you're gone. I'm still going to be just around. Take care, my friend. I should've known, stones could only skip for so long.
