Wrapping Up the Semester

I might as well cut myself for writing that for a title, for narrowing down everything that happened this past five months is no joke. It's ironic that I felt as though this semester went fast given the fact that so many things have happened. I've said it over a million times already but so many realizations have taken me in. I sure hope that inspirations and new people keep on coming.

I feel like I'm growing fast, though the same thing can't be said with my thinning hair. I hate it! Why of all the attributes that would inherit from my father (love you!), it has to be the friggin hair? I would love to not buy gatsby (and that stands for Gatz and Abby, our new classroom hot couple according to my classmates) just to fix the mess that's sitting on top of my head. Any suggestions guys?

Okay I'll stop fooling around. Time to get way serious for I have to commit for this post for I know it's gonna take me sometime to finish it. I wouldn't want to actually take that long here in the internet cafe (having an internet connection is the only wish from my last years' birthday wishlist that's not yet fulfilled. I badly need it!) for I'm gonna end up paying more. I don't want that now since the days of slothing is over and my allowance is officially cut-off, do I?

Anygays here is it. I decided to number all the happenings this past semester. Now don't be mislead, they're not actually that great and memorable. It's just that my way of writing makes them so. Hehehe. . .

1. I Became a Member of LAMP, our Institute's Official Publication

I bet you didn't see that coming, did you? I was so happy that I was able to actually pull it off. Not that it's hard though. What I'm amazed at is that I actually gave a damn and committed to it. All they asked me to do was to go see all the six editors of LAMP and make them sign my application, a task that all of the editors made easy for me too. I'm probably the last person who would want to be a staffer the easiest way, but what can I do? I was anticipating for them to ask me write an essay but instead they gave me a task that made me wonder if I'm applying for a spot in a reality show.

I realized that I loved being surrounded by intelligent and hardworking people, for they make me feel that I belong. Hahaha! I was kidding. But then seriously, I think I'm gonna learn a lot from this organization, given the fact that the writers are all good. I really hope that I can contribute and help them in anyway.

2. I Laid my Hands on My New iTouch

I sometimes do have the tendency to be materialistic, and for that I apologize. Hahaha! I remember being told that single people tends to be techie. Not that I have a lot of gadgets, but I find it a hobby to be updated with the latest cellphones, mp4 players and video games and platforms. Looking at these gadgets in the magazines and websites makes me happy and makes me forget that I'm single indeed. Hehehe. And occasionally, looking hard and wishing hard on the pictures of these gadgets help on eventually laying my hands on them. This rings true with my 16 GB iTouch!

It was given to me last December 27 when my parents came home from Japan. During that time I still can't get over the fact that the ipod video that I have nourished so well was taken from me during that fateful day in Lawton. So for every call my parents made, I always made a point of hinting them how great this gadget is. And it actually paid off! This gadget is the single reason why I'm riding the LRT on my way to school and back home. I just can't risk it being stolen at gunpoint.

3. I was Assigned to a New Section, and a New Group

I miss being with my previous section last summer and it has nothing to do with me being the mayor, wait, it has something to do with me being the mayor. I just miss being the one people lean in to and the one who organize them. And heck, I feel proud, very proud indeed whenever I recall that section of mine. We were never that kind of students who would boo at our classmates, backstab our teachers, go outcasting others and more importantly, cheat. The person who cheated in my class even ended up facing one of the coordinators. We were that disciplined, and I effin miss it.

Now, I'm posting about my current section, am I? Hmmm. I really don't have to say anything. What I can say is that they are indeed smarter and wittier than my previous section, but that's it. I didn't have the time to actually get to know them. I practically don't even know some of them, even by name. The reshuffling didn't end up in my favor, so I'm now seeking greener pastures, if you know what I mean.

But I can say the exact opposite with my groupmates. I love them. I actually hope that everday is duty day so that we are the only one who would interact with each other. I prepared a message for them in case I get transferred to a new section the way I planned.

Josh: Our tough and smart leader. All I can say to you is learn how to control your emotions, for it sometimes take over you and turn you into whole different person.

Leanne: The January Starty girl! Hehehe! I would definitely miss you, that's if I have my way of transferring to a new section this coming summer. I have to grow, and I know you understand that. Thank you for being such a great and energetic influence.

Badeth: Gosh Badz, super nakatipid ako ngayong semester na to sa araw araw nating pagdayo sa likod ng Manila Plaza. I would definitely miss that. Good luck at maraming salamat sa pagiging tunay na kaibigan.

Kim: Kim! I wish you all the happiness! Gosh ang tagal niyo na ni Harold. I hope that you'd continue being happy with him.

Thomas: Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. All I can say to this person is he has to come out, for his closet reeks of his gayness. I wish I could help the guy, but his reason for keeping his sexuality to himself is inconsistent and invalid. Good luck sa kaniya.

Irish: Our super reliable groupmate. You have to give her props for being punctual and helpful.

Rommel: I just hope that he starts buying himself some food instead of asking for it. Hehehe.

Sara: Partner! Pasensya ka na kung nasigawan kita nung last rotation. Hehehe. I enjoyed being your partner.

Lowell: I really don't have anything to say to this guy, for he surely keeps things to himself.

Abby: To quote Leanne, "Mamamatay ka rin,". Hehehe. Joke lang seatmate! But you have to stop taking pictures of people while they're asleep!

Joy: Salamat sa pagpapahiram mo lagi sa amin ng nailcutter. Hehehe. I hope you continue being the way you are.

4. I Fell In Love

And not once, but twice! I realized that several of my previous posts were about them, and I have to stop. I'm sick, and when I'm not sick, I'm tired. I'm sick and tired of talking about them so they're definitely out of my life. But no trace of bitterness, no room for that. I am happy with all the happiness as well as the fugliness that they had brought in my life, and I'll never have it any other way. I wish them all the best.

5. I Received My Lowest GWA

Note how I used the word received. It's because it felt as though I didn't even worked hard this semester, as if this grade just fell into my lap. FEU, with all the slacking and incompetent professors that they have, dissappointed me big time. I was looking forward for serious and strict lecturers and what I got is a bunch of people who can't even exert an effort to make their voice sound less like a sleeping pill. Some of them don't even come to our class and one uses his handouts to gain money. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C!

I seriously need to perk things up. And to do this I have to transfer to a new section, preferrably one which no one knows me so I'd end up being a loner. That way I will have no choice but to study.

I will definitely work like there's no tomorrow this semester. I just hope that the coordinators will grant my request.

XOXO
