Too Bad to be Good

Because I love ice cream, chocolates, and other cold beverages and foods, I developed a sore throat last Monday. When night came, I didn't feel well so I wasn't able to study seriously for our psychology quiz. What mattered to me during that time was to rest and sleep.

I didn't have a "I-feel-good-ta-na-na-na-nan" feeling this week. My sore throat was gone, then a very bad cold came, and very bad cough followed, then my sore throat returned. Because of them, my whole week wasn't that happy.


Right now, I'm at home. I'm supposed to finish my survey questions for our "mini-thesis" in Englcom. Unfortunately, I don't feel well. On the other hand, I'm quite fortunate as well because I'm at home. I can rest. I need rest. Haha.


Okay, that's all for today. I have a lot to do tomorrow. I'll go back to school for our NSTP. Wish me luck, and I hope that my "slight fever" will not push through. Our midterms are next week. Huhu. Good night! =)


*By the way, I didn't see Enchong Dee in school today. Sad. Haha. Anyway, I hope to see him in school soon. Haha.*

Confessions of a Certified Homesick Iyakin

At last! I already finished our EdTech project! I should have been sleeping right now but I decided to update my blog. So here I am.

Since the start of the first day of school, I've been thinking about a lot of things. I have so many reflective thinkings that sometimes, they drive me nuts. There are times that I feel confused, and then I end up breaking down into tears. I know I shouldn't be acting like this, but I can't help it. Well, I guess it's normal for a student like me who stays in a dorm and living away from the family. Honestly, I'm not that really adjusted...yet. I always anticipate the coming of Friday afternoon because it is the day when Auntie Lucy comes to the dorm to fetch me. On the other hand, my hyper-activeness becomes lesser when Monday comes. It's not because it is Monday, if you know what I mean. I don't like Mondays that much because it means leaving away from home again.


My parents and Auntie Lucy never fail to tell me, every week, that I would be adjusted someday. I just look at them. Then I begin to "propose" my plan about going "uwian". We always have "mini-conferences" about it. They give me their point and I give them mine. It is like a game. I always lose and they always win.

As I reflect and think about my points and reasons why I like to go home, I suddenly realize that my so-called "good reasons" are just for my own benefit. I want to come up with good reasons which can be beneficial not only for myself but for others as well. Too bad, it's hard.

Anyway, it is God's will, right? He knows what's best for me. He has good reasons why He gave me the chance to study in La Salle and to stay in a dorm. Although, I'm still feeling homesick, I would accept the reality. I should be thankful for that. Who knows, maybe someday, I could be adjusted (I really hope so) or maybe my whole eternal "uwian" plan/wish would come true. Oh well, I'll just keep my fingers crossed. Have a blessed day!!!

Dalawa in One

Ang Buhay Kolehiyo

Isang linggo na rin ang nakalipas simula nang mag-umpisa ang unang araw ng pasukan sa La Salle. Dahil ako ay nagmula sa isang paaralan na puro kababaihan ang mga mag-aaral, ako ay naninibago sa bagong lugar na aking kinabibilangan ngayon. Marami- rami na rin akong nakikilalang mga bagong kaibigan at marahil, sila ay madaragdagan pa sa paglipas ng panahon.


Isang napakalaking pagbabago para sa akin ang pagpasok sa buhay kolehiyo. Ito ay masaya ngunit mahirap. Masaya dahil tulad ng sinabi ko, maraming mga kaibigan ang makikilala, ngunit mahirap din dahil kailangang magsikap ng mabuti sa pag-aaral.


Ang buhay kolehiyo ay tulad ng pag-akyat sa isang napakataas na hagdan. Kung hindi mo ito aakyatin, hindi ka makakarating sa iyong pupuntahan.

Andrew Building Hiking

My blockmates and I were at the library, located at the second floor of Andrew Building, studying for child foundation. Then suddenly, we realized that we only had 20 minutes left before the child foundation class. We stopped and waited for the elevator. Since the elevator had many students when it opened, we had no choice but to climb up the stairs from second floor to seventeenth floor. It was exhausting! All of us felt that our "pata" (legs in short...hahaha) hurt. Fortunately, we arrived on time, but didn't have the opportunity to drink even water because Sir Lem already entered the room. And then, he announced that there was no quiz at all. Whew!
