Memorable Day :)

I will never forget March 22, 2012. :)

Today was Toni's graduation from High School. In her words, she's "the last Constantino in Mont Michel," so this was really big. Our childhood comprised of days in Mont Michel, learning and having fun with our classmates. Even though Nino & I transferred schools after completing our elementary education in Mont Michel, we always had a connection to our alma mater. Toni graduating from Mont Michel meant saying goodbye to a place we were fond of. And, Ama's famous there. She'll be missed greatly in Mont Michel. Haha!

My little brother summed it up well, "Ate, we're getting old." I guess I'm not the only one who realized it. Seeing the kids, who used to be so tiny, looking so elegant and grown-up in their grad suits and dresses...it hit me again that I was getting older. I guess he realized the same thing too, having finished his 1st year in high school. We're growing up!

The cherry to the ice cream came after we finished eating dinner. One of my best friends, Kaka, called me up! Our conversation kind of went like this:
Kaka: Teds! Have you checked the LAE results?
Me: OMG no! I'm not home. it's out?? (heart pounding)
Kaka: go check!! go go go!
Me: I have no internet!!! :O asnkadjfnkjset
kaka: OMG TEDI. YOU PASSED.
Me: OMG OMG OMG~

It's kind of a blur from there. :)) I remember handing my phone over to Toni & I just started crying. In the restaurant. And we were seated near the door. HAHAHHAHA. I realized how embarrassing it was during the car ride on the way home. Nino & Toni were all "Ate calm down!" "think of Adam Levine." Lol. Kebs

It was a relief. I passed DLSU Law already, so I had somewhere to go in case I didn't get in UP/Ateneo. But this is huge. <3 It's UP! One of the best law schools in the country!

And when I saw my name on the list...Grabe. My heart just burst from happiness. Thank you Lord so muuuch! <3 Bait bait mo talaga. :) Lagi akong inaalagaan. :)

Thanks to everyone who believed/believes in me. :) Haha! Grabe, this is so humbling. I never expected to pass, you know? I was hoping, wishing and praying that I would! And the fact that I got in, ohwow. I didn't have the best grades in college, but this. OMG. Haha I can't find the words. I will do my best! :)

Lord God, salamat talaga ng bonggaaaaaaaaaaaa. <3

Merry Christmas, darlin’! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Time.Out.

Okay, so I've officially decided to not take summer classes. Because hellooo I need a break. I figured this out last night when I just spent hours watching stuff on YouTube. :( The long weekend proved to be short. :P

Summer, oh summer, please come faster! :D

Speaking of, must get into the fitness routine I've been nagging myself to do. Para, pagdating ng beach time, :D:D And my sibs, my cousin & I just made fries so uhm diet starts tomorrow! :D

I just wanna be on the beach! :D

Short and sweet update. I just needed to vent. Heehee.

I leave you with an excerpt from The Paris Letter audio. :) Josh Radnor & Neil Patrick Harris play...well, you'll figure it out. Heehee. It's amusing and uhm awkward for me later on. Hahaha. You'll see. :D

"I always think about what's come between then and now, that you're a different person now."

A day of love & tikoy :)

Happy Valentine's Day & Kung Hei Fat Choi! :)

February, oh February, you are so eventful and it's only been half the month.

With everything that's been happening, my friends have been there to tease, give advice, and be there for me. :) So, love love love you guys. :)

I'm partial to this version but Billy Crawford & Nikki Gil's version is okay and I've been posting that James Taylor everywhere so :) hahaha :)

Friends,

Don't you know that winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call and I'll be there. You've got a friend. :)

Ciao :)

Goodbye January 2010! :)

Whoa. Time flies. It's already January 31st! End of the 1st month of 2010. What has happened so far? Well, it truly is a new year with a lot of new experiences, opportunities and happenings.

On the love life front (syempre inuna. hahaha para tapos na!) : ask and it will be given. Like they say, be careful what you wish for. Wuh. There are developments that I'd rather share in person. :) Pero no, wala pa akong boyfriend. :) It's just ang daming firsts! First time makatanggap ng chocolate from a 'secret admirer', first time may umamin..and others I'd rather not mention. Hahahah! Nakakagulat lang :)

On the academic front: I love my professors & subjects this term. Except for one, because of something that happened recently. Wahaha. But I love my professors. They make the subjects bearable. I'm having fun. Yes, I say that now. But once midterm/finals come along, I'll be in a dark mood. Wahahaha! Pero we never know :D Plus, my classmates in each subject are fun to be with. :)

On the other activities front: I'm secretary, replacing Dessa who's replacing Ate Maan. Unexpected. I've never held a position like this before. So, it's kinda scary. I promise to do my best though. To balance this, my school work and other stuff. :) Kaya-ble :D hahaha

Gigi's debut! :D First debut I attended this year. Wahaha! :) Mga kakilala ko na nandun were Lolo Don & Kuya Kristian, mybro :P Aaand Calvin, Harri & Cai, Gigi's blockmates & mga choir :)) It was nice :D Simple & heartwarming :)

Presidential forum last Friday! :) It's a shame I didn't get to go into the auditorium. Major fail. Pero watching it in the green screen in school is different from watching it at home. I got to see backstage stuff :)) I'm leaning towards Gibo though. :)

Recruitment week just ended and wow. We had a total of 90 sign-ups! But so far, only like 40+ have submitted the application forms so let's see what happens. :)

Okay so that isn't everything that happened this month. Hahaha more like what happened last week. Pero can I just say though, that I'm super grateful for the friends & family that I have. :) They make life more fun, more colorful & enjoyable. They keep me grounded and are there when I need a hug, someone to talk to, and someone to be crazy with. Thank you!

And to end this, I share with you the reading in Mass kanina :D Yehess, meh ganun diba! :)) Because this month was full of love & happiness for me.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

(1 Corinthians 13:4-13)

Here's to the end of a great month! :) And on to the beginning of a new one! :) Tamang-tama! February! Month ng pag-ibig! =)) Things to come: RENT, Baccalaureate mass & graduation of friends, Taize Pilgrimage of Trust, the ballet thing Yvette & I are gonna watch for HUMAART. :D And I'm sure there's many more. Hahaha! ~Peace!
