ENERGIZER BUNNY

Saturday January 28, 2006

I woke up at 7 am. Oh no! I have a lot of things to do for the day!
I haven't packed my clothes nor decided what to wear for the reception of the Merit Scholars.
I grabbed all sort of clothes that is black. I grabbed my black haltered dress, my black slacks, black skirt, black cardigan, black spag strap blouse. then I realized I don't have enough blouse so I got the white tube top of my sister and the shining silver seol... I ended up bringing my gym bag so that all my clothes will fit.

I prepared to go to the office, heated my water, took a bath, brushed my teeth, dressed up and sprint to the LRT station.

Luckily on cue, the LRT arrived. Then I went down to Katipunan station going to the trike terminal...this time i paid 7 pesos...hehehehe...

I swiped my ID. Walah, it's 8:23 am...I am late again for the nth time! I'm dead it's my 6th late for the year! (Lagot!)

At the office, we are busy preparing for the reception. I was revising my powerpoint of the names of the administrators who will talk for the plenary. We had a dry run. Dakilang taga-click na naman ako sa powerpoint presentations....haaaayyyy....

When the clock stroke 12noon, I rushed to the office to eat my lunch. I read the bible passage and read the anecdote from Magis, which I all crammed the night before for the EB discernment of GABAY. 1pm I went to CTC 115 for the discernment. Haha I survived the prayer and the discernment talk itself...It's time to discern for the EB.The results? Surprise...

At 3pm I needed to go back to the office. It's time to transform into a respectable young lady. Here comes the guests. I am assigned at the registration table for SOSE. While manning the table, a strong wind blew and the steel stand fell. Hitting the Merit scholar in front of me or at least that was what I thought at first. When the Merit Scholar said that it didn't hit her, I suddenly felt a throbbing pain in my arm. I saw a long scratch at my left arm. It's a little painful but still Project ang lola mo! I was still smiling because a lot of scholars and their parents are still registering. (Blooper number 1)

The program is about to start and here goes my role, ang dakilang taga-click ng powerpoint...
Fr. Nemy talked about the AFMS and SIDL, Fr. Ben talked about the Ateneo, Dr. Intal talked about the Loyola Schools. She suddenly stopped at the middle of her speech...the reason, her throat is drying up and she can't stop coughing (blooper #2) Then the program ended and they broke into schools.
They went back for the cocktails and mega promote ang lola mo! Major benta ng Ateneo ang ginawa ko...It's selling time! The JGSOM garden is just the perfect place to do it. The ambience is very good. Kaya lang maputik...(blooper #3) A mother wearing a 3 inch heels got stocked into the mud "Ang heels ko ang heels ko!".

The dinner is served...food food...speeches speeches.

But that didn't end my night. I stilll have another party to attend. It's therprise party for Franz. Buti nalang I have company kasi di ko alam yung place at malayo sya. Since it's already late, the people I know aren't there anymore. One good thing of having a company with you in such a party...

And so we waited until it's 12 midnight, no we are not waiting for the chinese new year. Franz'z bday is really on the 29th of January. Since we arrived late pambawi namin ang magcount down to his bday.

So ayun after waiting for a taxi for how many minutes, we were able to get a ride home.

And so the day of the energizer bunny is finished but the energy is still high.

My quotable quote...

Sa tagal na nating nagbabalot...Masterpacker na tayo!

Akalain mo...

Sumakay ako sa jeep tapos bumunot ako sa bulsa ng pambayad.
Binigay ko yung sampung piso.

"Mama, bayad po LRT lang."

Sinuklian nya ako.

Aba apat na piso!
Hehehehehe...natuwa naman ako.
Mukha pa rin akong estudyante.

Sumakay ako sa LRT. Bumaba ako sa Katipunan Station.

Nag-abang ng tricycle sa Ministop. Ay nagtaas na nga pala ang pamasahe!
7 pesos na kapag hindi estudyante waaaaahhhh!
Sumakay at Bumaba sa admin.

May nakasabay akong kakilala at inilibre nya ako sa pamasahe.
May ibang tao kaming kasabay. Tatlo kami sa trike.

Pagbaba sa admin, nagbayad ang kasabay ko ng 12 pesos.
'Yung di namin kakilala nagbayad ng 6 pesos.
Nang papalayo na kami tumawag yung driver, "Miss miss,"
Lumingon ako kasi akala ko ako yung tinatawag nya.
"Miss miss" tumawag sya ulit...hehehehe hindi pala ako.
"Miss, 7 pesos na po pag hindi estudyante!"

Hahahahaha...Kakatuwa naman si manong!

Akalain mo mukha pa rin akong estudyante?!

I told you it is over...

When I said goodbye, it is really goodbye. We can't turn back time.
Yes, we've known each other for a long time, we've seen each other grow.
I guess, we grew apart. Maybe we became so different along the way.
But one thing remains the same I still don't have the habit of going back.

I gave you a chance but you let it pass. I can't offer you anything more than this.
I might not feel at ease at times but I always tell myself that we are still friends.
This situation is indeed hard but there's nothing we can do anymore.
Though I feel awkward at times, I am still by your side.
You can still turn to me when you are troubled, I can still give you my support.

But then I am sorry this is all I can give,
our good friendship nothing more nothing less.
I told you it is over. I already got over.

What Can I Do

I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

No more waiting, no more, aching...
No more fighting, no more, trying...
Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly


Wala lang...just felt that this song can best describe what I've gone through. Ü

Ang Kabute hindi tumutubo ng mag-isa

Learning from Rollz's experience, I became a little cautious in calling out someone.

Last night, I saw my co-YFC Ateneo member. We used to be a little close in college but I didn't hear from him after I graduated.

It's nice to see him again and so I was so excited to greet him. I shouted out "Mark, Mark!"

He looked at me. I was so puzzled that he didn't smile. He looks puzzled also...

Later on I realized, he is not Mark, he is Brian. I tried to redeem myself by calling him to his right name and hoping to say sorry. But then he was so busy talking to a group of people. I was so shy to interrupt.

All I can do is to hide my face in shame... Then I remembered Rollz.

Karen po...

Ava, Guil, Rollz and I went to Gateway last Sunday after the ACET. We spent most of our tambay time at Starbucks in Araneta Center.

We saw familiar faces and found some common friends who will be watching Narnia (guess who...hehehehe)

I saw Liza, a friend of a friend, and other familiar looking people. I just smiled at them.

Rollz saw someone familiar also...

A girl was ordering at the counter."Gracia, Gracia!" Rollz, with great dignity called the girl but she didn't seem to mind. When she was near our table, Rollz called her again. And then at last she looked at our direction, she opened her lips (I assumed that she will say hi) and said, "It's Katrina."

We were all shocked! Rollz was very sorry...for how many times he said sorry to the girl...

He can't get over it the whole time...I hope by today he already did. Ü

BAGONG LUMA

"Narinig ko na yan!" Ito ang linya ng lahat sa tuwing napapag-usapan ikaw at ako...Haaaaayyyyyy....pano nga ba?

Ngayong taon ipinagdadasal ko na sana ay talagang mabago na ang lahat.

Luma na ang usapin pero maraming bago...Paulit ulit na ang pag-uusap tungkol sa iisang bagay pero maraming pagkakaiba...

Ay ewan! Basta ang alam ko ako mismo nahihirapan na...salamat at tinapos na natin.

Sana nga pareho tayong magbago sa ikabubuti ng bawat isa...Ayokong mag-isa pero hindi rin talaga siguro ikaw ang dapat kong makasama.

Salamat sa pagkakataon. Salamat sa pagkakaibigan. Salamat sa pang-unawa. Salamat sa pagdamay. Salamat sa lahat.

Alam kong andyan ka lang, andito rin lang ako. Pero dapat siguro manatili na ganon, andyan ka andito ako. Baka nga kailangan ng konting espasyo sa gitna.

Natutuwa ako na nalampasan natin ito pero ang pinakamalaking hamon ay kung matatagalan natin ang ganito...Napakaraming pagkakataon na nating inayos ito at paulit ulit na rin tayong nagkamali...Sana ngayon tuluy tuloy na...

Alam ko hindi pilit ang resolusyon. Nararamdaman ko ang sinseridad. Pero andun pa rin ang takot, andun ang kaba...na baka maulit ulit ang lahat at magkasakitan tayo...

Gayunpaman naroon din ang tiwala, naroon ang pag-unawa, mayroon ding pag-asa ... makakayanan natin ito, magtutulungan tayo.

BAGONG TAON NA! BAGONG BUHAY BA?

Wala lang I suddenly felt the urge to make a change for the New year. Sana lang kaya kong panindigan. Narealize ko lang, kailangan ko ng katulong sa endeavor na ito...Ang daming nangyari nung later part ng 2005 at maraming hamon ang kahaharapin sa 2006.

Sana lang magpatuloy na ang pagbabago at sana ay sa ikabubuti ng lahat.
