MGA NATUTUNAN/KARANASAN SA PAGGAWA NG FEASIB

wuhoo! at last! tapos na rin ang feasib! defense na lang at mga revisions after defense..grabe..ganito pala ang fourth year..in a few months time we'll be going to the real world..and before that, i would like to share a number of the things my feasibmates and i did, developed, and learned about..

1. RESOURCEFULLNESS: natuto kami manghiram ng laptop..maging makapal ang mukha sa paulit2 na panghihiram ng laptop..sorry na..dukha kami eh..thanks to lulu and amielle especially to jermaine for unconditionally lending us her laptop..we love you! =)

2. MAGSINUNGALING: wahaha..because we were so desperate to gain information on our competitors, we (actually, it was me) called them and pretended that we would like to have seat reservations in their restaurant for this and that date..

3. BRAVERY: oh yes! natutunan namin maging matapang..first incident: ang maglakad pauwi sa kahabaan ng Lason street at passed 11 in the evening..second incident: ang maglakad pauwi sa kahabaan ng Lacson street at around 5 in the morning..at ang highlight sa paglalakad na to ay makasalubong ang isang exhibitionist dun malapit sa lacson corner españa..FREAK!

4. MATIBAY NA SIKMURA: natuto kaming mabuhay sa chili cheese..

5. BLINDNESS: hindi na kami makakita ng tama dahil sa sobrang puyat..kahit mga electric posts sa dapitan nababangga na namin..

6. MAG-ABSENT: dahil sobrang solid talaga kami..napagpasyahan namin na mag-absent kaming apat noong setyembre 24 para gumawa ng feasib..

7. EAT, EAT, EAT: synonymous to number one..natutunan namin maging makapal ang mukha..library = canteen..natuto kaming kumain ng kanin sa libray..bwahaha!

8. CLOSING TIME: naranasan na namin pagsarahan ng lahat ng establisyamento sa dapitan..

9. MAGMAKAAWA: (around 11pm) natuto kaming magmakawa sa -- computer shop dahil mas mura magpaprint dun kesa sa ------ computer shop..pero nabigo kami..hindi nila kami pinagbigyan!!

10. TUMAWA: laughter is indeed the best medicine..in desperate times, we still managed to joke around and laugh about our silliness (puro inside joke na to so i wont enumerate)

hindi pa to tapos pero kung may karagdagan pa kayong mga karanasan nyo, feel free to comment..yehey! time to prepare for the defense! =)

and so came another birthday

Okay so another year for me to change number in my information sheet under the classification Age. I remember when I was a kid how I wanted to excitedly "convert" my age everytime my birthday is fast approaching. When asked how old I was, I proudly tell them that I'm 13 though I was just 12 at that very moment. This lasted for about a couple and a couple (add 4 to 13, that is) of years.

That was me back then. The kiddo who wanted to grow up (by means of my age) right away.

Few days before my special day, I had some flashbacks from certain events in my life. I remember Ivy telling me that i still have the thinking of a not-so-mature person (though I think that I really am matured) with regards to that certain issue. She said she already went through what I was going through back then and she was certain that I'll be over with that attitude. Oh well, she may be right. Hey Ivy, know what? I guess now I know what you were really driving at. We may have been friends just recently, but there has been a lot of changes since that I-was-not-so-mature day. I'm a super kid now. I'm telling you. Haha.

Just after that tragic (well not really for me, but for that person. Oh I wish you luck!) event, I had some talks with one of my good friends. I thank you my friend, Jobs, for telling me that I have been a stronger person. That meant a LOT. I know you know that you have witnessed a lot of my downfalls during my college years. I won't be surprised if you know me better than my friends from HS. You have been really a big part of my life. I consider you as my best friend. I thank God for letting me feel this kind of contentment in life I have now. I really feel like I'm a super kid. Seriously. Because now I can be really strong for those people I love, and that includes YOU. I love you, Jobs! You know that.

I remember every time mom would approach me and we'll talk about family issues. It must say it's really deafening to hear those stories over and over again. I'm sure she is feeling the same way, too. To make her feel at ease, I just joke around and not seriously take what we are really talking about. I realized that it is now about time to take things like these seriously. I mean it's not always that I can escape certain realities with regards to family issues. There will come a time when I will be really the one whom my parents will run to. And I think it's about time to be the strong ice that I am to my friends to them. I'm now submerging myself into far greater responsibilities.

8daysAweek have introduced me to a lot of people. And I mean a LOT. What we do in 8days is something I really love. Well some would say because you're earning. But no, that's not it. It's beyond that. We have been experiencing "downfalls" recently but that does not stop us from continuing this service. Yes, I call it service. It's hard being in a production. What we get (in monetary value) is not enough for all the efforts and labor. But what keeps us going is the people, the bands, the guests, and other very important persons we meet who appreciates and love us also for what we do. We love you guys. You are the lifeblood of 8daysAweek.

Tsaran! My birthday is quite different this year. Why? eh kasi walang lablayp! hahaha! It's been quite a long time since I celebrated my day in solitude. Haha. Technically single that is. No relationships, no flings, no whatever. So this is the feeling? I missed this feeling. And I'm loving it. Seriously. No headaches, no heartaches. And i guess this is one of the reasons why I'm feeling real contentment right now. I have found some quality time for myself. I'm indulging in things I have missed during those times. I'm really happy now. I hope they are also happy now -- happy with their own lives and happy for me.

So what is this entry really all about? Well, this is just about the realizations of a person who's becoming older. Haha. Or should I say realizations of a person who is slowly getting into the phase of her life wherein certain realities are now bound to be faced by an individual who is now stronger -- stronger than ever. Strong ice.

urong-sulong

may gusto akong itanong,



pero takot akong malaman ang sagot.


inom nlng!! sinong gusto?? sagot ko!

Sleeping with Anxiety

More than 24 hours has passed

My mind is confused

My eyes blurred with tears

Where could you be now?

I miss you so much

When I close my eyes

It is you that I see

I want this waiting to stop

So I lay down to fall asleep

But when my soul awakes

It is still you I see

Where could you be now?

I miss you so much

I pray to God that you’re fine

I asked Him for an answer

But there’s none

Where could you be now?

I miss you so much

Breaking the Silence

I asked you who you are

You answered you were hers.

You asked if I’m mad

I told you I am not.

Yes you told me I am the only one now

And I believe you.

I’m sorry if I’m hurting this much.

Yes, I still love you.

The truth just struck me.

It can never be changed

And I know my love won’t change, too.

I’m sorry if I’m hurting this much.

I know you’re hurting, too.

Just give me time.

Please give me time

until I can say again that I love you.

Sa Uulitin

Nakaupo

Naghihintay sa iyong pagdating

Kay bilis ng oras pag ika’y kapiling

Mga palihim mong titig

Nararamdaman ko pa rin

Siyang nagsasabi ng iyong pagkilig

Ako’y pinakikilig din

Kapansin-pansin ang mga pagpapahinto mo ng oras

O sana’y hanggang ngayo’y kapiling ka pa rin

Unexpected

The door opened

Not expecting to see you there

Standing

You had a straight face

I flashed a smile

It wasn’t the usual place

For you and I

To meet someone

You escaped my eyes

I searched for you

And you came

Came even closer

Is there something you want to say?

Yes, I know it’s the distance

I know you’ll leave soon

But thanks for staying

Until we meet again
