Sleep Over

I had my very first sleep over at my best friend's house in Lipa this week. I stayed there for two days. I was so glad when my parents and my auntie granted my "wish" to stay and sleep there, knowing that Lipa's miles away from Laguna. I had fun with my best friend, her cute little sister, and with the people whom I met within their compound.

Although we didn't go out to go somewhere, like hanging-out in the mall or watching a movie like we used to, we enjoyed being "home buddies". We played with her little sister, watched their favorite TV shows, read Candy magazines, called some old friend of ours through mobile phone, ate ice cream, and laughed like there's no tomorrow at all. Hahaha. We even stayed up late and slept at around past 1 o'clock in the morning talking and sharing about some stuff.

Even if I'm just "five hours away" from my bestfriend, and even if we'll still see each other tomorrow in DLSU, I already miss her...and her cute little sister...and Lipa...a lot. How I wish to go back there again! Then we'll laugh again and again and again. Hahahaha.

To my best friend, and to all the people whom I met during my stay there, thank you very much for making me feel at home and for your genuine hospitality!

College Na!

Ilang araw na lang, college na ako. Ang bilis talaga ng panahon, parang kailan lang. Hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip na maiiwanan ko ang aking pamilya dito sa Laguna upang tumira at mag-aral sa lungsod ng Maynila. Masayang malungkot. Masaya dahil natupad din ang aking pangarap na makapag-aral sa Maynila, sa La Salle, at makakasama ko muli ang iba kong mga kaibigan/kamag-aral...ngunit malungkot dahil hindi ko na makakasama ang aking pamilya. Pero, talagang ganyan ang buhay. Sabi nga sa akin nila Auntie, masasanay din ako. At hindi lang naman ako ang makakaranas ng ganito dahil pati ang aking mga makakasama ay ganoon din.

Kanina lamang ay tinitingnan ko ang mapa ng La Salle. Isang napakalaking unibersidad. Napakaraming mga gusali. Naisip ko tuloy, hindi kaya ako maligaw sa aking mga klase? Tapos, bigla ko rin na naisip, naku! kaya nga may orientation eh! hahaha...ikaw talaga!

Ganyan ako...may pagka-weirdo minsan. Hahaha.

Ngunit, kahit na ako ay masayang-malungkot, ako ay excited na rin sa darating na orientation at pasukan. May mga makikilala akong muli na mga taong may iba-iba't ugali, personalidad at maging kultura. Madaragdagan muli ang aking listahan. Sa bagay, masaya rin un.

Reunion

Still fresh from the reunion last Sunday, April 29, I can't help but look at the photos I took that day. How my smile widens whenever I see my former classmates' faces in my digital camera. Everyone looks amazing, happy, and bubbly.

I had fun being with my MSMSI batchmates. I was so surprised and happy when I saw them again. Four years had passed since I last saw them. There were a lot of changes in them, (physically..haha..) but they were still the ones I knew way back gradeschool. Although most of them grew even taller, and I felt more even smaller...hahaha... our pakikitungo sa isa't- isa didn't change. I was very very happy for that.

Ailil, Rg, Nika, Thesa, Chia, Alain, Mark Ian, Elijay, Alex, Alissa, Adrian, Insan Joven, Sceiy, Judith, Betsy, Alyssa, John, Pau, Chris Ann, Rin-rin, Paolo, Kenneth, Marielle, Teacher Rose, Teacher Lyn, Teacher Sol, Rap-rap, Mhillie and James...thank you very much for making my day so meaningful, wonderful, and colorful!!!
