A Day with the Kids
After busy Wednesday, here comes Fun Thursday!
The day started with something that my blockmates would describe as utterly boring! Zzzzz... But, that was just the first! After that hell first class, we went to Nat Sci. Again, nat sci lagi talagang may ginagawa. But today was different, we did a situational activity concerning how we study ethnobotany. Aba naman. Who would have thought that it will turn out to be a fun discussion! We laughed at the representatives who deliberately made fun of themselves. But, overall, the activity was ok. After that, Comm I naman! We just did the activity left by the teacher then we were free to go!
Lunch! I went with the girls today. And, they were really good companions. We spent the majority of the break for eating. Then, we just joked around. We talked and laughed about Wednesday's 'main' event(the Acquiantance Party). Ang sapatos ni Siyon. Jenjenjen.. Grabe! Who would have thought! Mejo x-rated na tong part na ito kaya quiet muna! Hehehehe..!
After loads of laughter and cones of ice cream, we went to CP since our next class, PE, will be held at the building near it. And also, para na rin makita si Bosing Joy at tumambay! So, ayun, ayos! Punta na kami dun!
PE(jenjenjen...)
Haha. Malufet kanina! We had our very first PE class wherein we can actually play! Yey! Suddenly, the 20 plus students of IP turned into savage, fun-loving kids! Grabe! You wouldn't believe the chaos while playing the game called Aswang-aswangan! Ang masasabi ko lang talaga, mahirap maging buro! Nakakaasar! Pero masaya! More of bonding kasi ang nangyari instead of a class eh!
Ayun, we played a total of 5 games in the 2-hour period. Grabe. Katuwa ung mga games! I really feel abused during the third game! People kept on tugging on my shirt or just plain pushing me so that the 'it' will tag me! They are very rude but I still like them! Feeling ko, sa Pepsi-7-Up pinakanasiyahan ang mga tao! Wala lang! Lahat kasi gumagalaw at naglalaro eh! Ako nga, todo pose pag sinabing 7 Up para naman may style! hehe..
So, ayun... That was our last period so uwian na! We stayed at CP to wait for our other blockmates who were in Pharm100 that afternoon. Bonding, bonding. When our other blockmates were dismissed, we decided to go home. Ayun.
Doon nagtatapos ang day with the kids. Kala ko panay seryoso ang mga tao sa amin, hindi pala! Mga maliligalig pala ung mga batang yun...
Generalization: Hindi talaga totoo ang mga first impressions!

Samu't Saring Ewan
Chunks of memories fall upon me. A past revisited? Wag naman. Dapat hindi na ako ma-MI(Muling Ibalik). Dapat lang(na hindi)!
...
For some reason unknown to me, I really, really, really feel pissed off. Nakakainis at nakakairita pero walang dahilan. Crappiness is what I feel. I feel like I'm somebody else since well, if I'm really me, I would be infuriated at something for a REASON. But, right now, I can't think of a single reason.
Or, maybe, I'm just 'in denial' about something. >_<
...
One day, napatunganga ako. Nakatitig sa harap ng monitor ng computer. Ninanamnam ang lyrics ng isang kanta, at ng isa pang kanta, at ng isa pang kanta. Hindi ko alam pero naaantig ako sa kanilang tema ng pag-ibig. Tsk. Hindi ako ganito. Hndi talaga ako ganito. Ang akala ko kasi nagbago na ako. Well, hindi pa pala.
Natawa ako kasi may nakita ako sa Friendster. Tungkol na naman sa isang tao na nagmamahal sa isa pang tao. Tapos, pag kalabas ko naman, nakita ko yung isang taong super in love dito sa tukmol na ito. Tapos, ang dami kong nakilala. Lahat sila in love o in like o merong kinagigiliwan na bagay. Napatanong tuloy ako. Bat ako wala?
Woosh. Ang pangit naman kung idahilan kong wala akong pakiramdam kasi ang alam ko mayroon naman kahit papano. Geez. Ewan kasi wala pa akong nararamdamang pagkagiliw kaninuman. Yun siguro ang dahilan. Pero, parang ang sarap ng feeling na may kinagigiliwang tao!
..Hindi ba?

Surprise!
After going to my 1-hour class and sleeping, sooobrang bad trip!
Anyway, some of you might not even "relate" with any of these... Newsflash!
...Crapola!
After hours of watching, of waking up early, the Dallas Mavericks freakin' lost. Well, that was stupid. I went out of the house for my NSTP class(which lasted only for one hour since same2 orientation palang naman) at the end of the first quarter of Game 6. At that time, Dallas was leading. So, un, I expected that they will win Game 6 para 3-3 na ang score. Anyway, I was happy when I got out of the house. I am rooting for them. After the class, my blockmate and new friend, Jann and I talked about the Finals and how I super expect Dallas to win. Hehe. I was that excited and happy! When I got home, I slumped into my bed and slept. After waking up, I hear something from the TV, something about the finals. Mejo na-excite ako sa news. I was anticipating a clincher Game 7. And then, I heard it. The Heats won. Well, so much for my anticipation. So much for my Game 7. Well, that was stupid. Anyway, through the whole series, Dallas was given the chance to get the Cup. Siguro, hindi pa nila time ngayon. Ibigay na lang sa 'aging bardagul' na si Shaq ang championship.
..Pero, grabe, nanghihinayang at natutuwa ako kay Harris. Biruin, first time pa lang niya tapos pasok na agad sa Finals. (i'm not sure if totoo to! got this one from my Papi)
One more thing to ruin my day. (well, not actually ruin). Talo ang Red Bull sa Semis kanina. But that's ok. 1-1 palang naman. It's just the second game of the Semis. They won in the first naman eh. Tsk. Well, I am still rooting for them! Go Red BULL! Ang Bumangga, GIBA!
**Interesting how things happen in just one snap of a finger. Ang nakakatuwa at mahirap pa, you were not there to witness it all. Interesting din how things you're expecting to happen, do not actually happen. It's the irony of it all that makes it funny and crappy at the same time.

Meeting the Sage
Doubt has come to mind. "The trouble will pass", the girl whispered. I hope so.
There are some things in life I cannot explain. Questions flood me but I do not have a single clue. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up in this place, in this position. Is it my fate or my own doing? How did I get myself tangled and burdened?
...I see a light. A call from heaven?
I met "the sage" in a very poorly furnished building. He talks about a lot of things. He knows a bunch of things you wouldn't even care to know. He is brilliant and... experienced. Hehe. He talked about the academics. He told us stories of sheer terror, stories that haunt the recesses of my memories. I shiver. He told some more. But, he also narrated stories of bright sunbeams and hope. For that, I felt relieved and determined!
Time is a killer. We have to move on. So, we left the sage on his post and went on our way to where knowledge spills and students grasp it.
As I was walking down the enlightened path, I vowed to be aware and prepared for the coming years of battle. I will be.
But, at the moment I have one thing to say...
Thank you for the enlightenment! Thank you, manong guard!
Thanks beri much!

April's Sched
Crapola!
...Burnout.
You may be thinking, "April is so weak! First week pa lang eh!". I only have one thing to say. We are SO not in the same situation. You can have my schedule for all I care. But, I tell you it's a killer. Take it at your own risk. Haha.
Even if I have only 4 subjects per day(except Wednesday), it's still very tiring. I mean, I do get a hefty break but that's all. It doesn't do much really. I am not getting relaxed or refreshed by any of this. Sometimes, because of the break, we lose track of time. Pwede kaming ma-late, in short. That's crappy, isn't it? Anyway, the problem is not major. At this time, I think it isn't. Haha.
Here are my subjects:
Math 17(Algebra and Trigonometry)
Nat Sci 8(Ethnobotany)
Comm I
Bio 20(Botany) (Lecture and Lab)
History I(Phil. History)
PE 2(Phil. Games)
Pharm100(Perspectives in Pharmacy)
NSTP(weee!)
Wah. I will post more information on these subjects as soon as I get more info! Haha. Well, our block hasn't met all of our teachers yet so that's basically it. As in, iyon lng talaga.
Guess, it is time to go. I'll see you when I get back! Hehe!
...That is if I have time to go back(janjanjan!)

The Real Deal
'Welcome Freshmen(ulet!)'
You want the real deal?
Let me give it to you.
Today was the first day of classes. Classes na ah! Now, do your part and read...
I woke up at 6:30 am. Am I that excited? Not really, I just don't want to be late on the first day of classes. I don't want to make THAT impression. But, to be honest, I am excited.
I am a super procrastinator! Even though I woke up at 6:30 am, I only started doing my morning routine after setting up my computer, placing the Eraserheads CD and listening to it. After all of those things, I started to 'move'. Erm, I mean to actually prepare for school. I ate breakfast but since there's already someone in the bathroom, I decided to just sit there and listen to the music(with matching pa-prenteng upo). Grabe parang high school! Anyway, I got out of the bathroom at what, 7:40(?!). Wow. I am so going to be late(excuse the manner of expression)!
After a 'battle' with my parents concerning my poor sense of punctuality and my super duper low chance of getting on a jeepney(according to them), I went out the house at 8 am. The night before, I said to myself that I must be at the school at about 8 am since I will get my ID and meet up with blockmates. Now, see how stubborn April is! Arriving at 8 turned out to be leaving at 8. Geez! Para talagang high school! Anyway, I got on the first jeepney I saw(to my parent's dismay). And the ride to the school started...
...wait, stupid traffic!
(at this moment, I was already praying to all the saints for me not to be late)
I arrived at the AS building at 8:30! Kamusta naman yun?! 8:30 was the start of my class! Going to the place is not a problem since I've already checked out the room of my first class. So, as I was hurrying on my way, I saw something brown. I saw Jaysonnel(my bio friend). He asked me if I have Math17 for my first class. I said yes. He said that we have no class since the professor is absent. Ohh, ok. I still went to the class, secretly wishing it is true!
As I went in, I only knew a single face, that is of Manet's. Anyway, I chatted with her and I suggested we sit at the second row(Survival Tip!). Then, my new-found friends from the first day of college showed up(Ian, Simel, Johanna, Ernie!)! All the time I chatted with Manet, they were waiting for me at the OUR. Anyway, we stayed at the room, wished for the aircon to function(well, thankfully it did!) and chatted the whole period away. The class ended with no Prof in sight! Hehe, thanks to God, all the saints I've prayed to and Jaysonnel!
The next class, there was a prof. She was ok. This subject is really interesting! The next class, there was no prof! But, there was... HOMEWORK! What...! Pffft. My next class after that was at 3 pm. Well, at the time, it was only 12 noon. Shux. Killer ang schedule! My friends and I just went to Robinson's and ate lunch. AFter that, bonding naman! We went to bookstores, toy stores, kiosks and restaurants(not to eat! weird huh?!). It was not too long before we decided to get our IDs in the OUR. After getting the quintessential ID, we went on our way to our college since the SSWC bldg is near it. After getting there(just in time for the PE class), we were told by the guard in the building to sign the attendance sheet. After that, he said we could go. Wow. Ang ganda ng klase! Malufet!
It was way too early so we just decided to bond with our other IPmates. I met a lot of new and interesting people. We just talked about different kinds of things from anime to games and from 'Malas' to joining the Orgs. Hmm.. Wala lang. Masaya ito. Mababait sila. Ok silang lahat.
My day ended with the usual trip to 7-11, me accompanying my blockmate to buy rice and me inside a San Andres Bukid jeepney.
I really hope that tomorrow will be just as fun as today. I really hope so. And, I swear, I am going to be friends with EVERYBODY! =D

First Day of Everything
'Welcome Freshmen!'
Hello! Well, today was the official first day of college! Take note, not classes ah!
Hmpf! You don't need lips to introduce yourself to other people. You just need your ears to be in perfect condition(matinding orientation ito!). Now, with all ears ready, sit back and enjoy...
...enjoy?
...ha?
My friend, Jaysonnel and I made an agreement that we will meet at the OUR at 7 am. Well, I'm late! Nothing new about that! I was really worried at that time since I didn't even see Jay or any of my blockmates in IP. Scary talaga. Anyway, I know the place where the Orientation will be held so I decided to go there by myself. I saw a lot of 'sariwang tao' or freshmen as I was walking towards UN Avenue. At last, I came to the place without help from anybody. But, then, I encountered a problem. I don't know where to go next.
As I was hopelessly searching for my blockmates, I saw a lot of my former schoolmates. Whatever. Anyway, I finally found someone from my block! I saw the smiling guy from the tour. He let me cut in the line(he was really nice!) and he even introduced me to our other blockmates. They were really nice boys. We went inside the auditorium but then there were no more seats available for the students of our course. So, we stood there and waited. We spotted a bunch of seats and I said to them, 'Mang-agaw na lang tayo ng upuan!'. Hah! They followed me to the seats. While comfortably seated, I chatted with the girl next to me. I asked her what her course is. She said Physical Therapy. Ohh, ok. But then, there came the pink lady and she asked what our course is. We answered her, of course. After learning we're from IP, she made us stand up the hallway because we can't sit there since the seats are for CAMP students. Geez. Back to standing. Luckily, there was this one seat vacant and since I'm the only girl in the group, they let me sit. Harhar...
The ceremony started. There was a mass. The priest's sermon was good. Well, it was cool. And, then a bunch of speakers just talked about this and that, blah blah blah. But, they were really nice. I enjoy most of the talks. I really enjoyed the speech of the chancellor of UP Manila. It was really entertaining and funny(if you are from UP Manila! and not from... ooops! secret!). After that enlightening speech, paangasan na! Haha. The freshmen were introduced by their respective college secretaries. Each introduction comes with a 'paangas' which serves as a sort-of challenge to the freshmen. Comedy ito!
The welcome ceremony ended at 1 pm. It was really a fun program. It was full of goofs, challenges and 'paangas'. Haha. It was a variety show(complete with singing, dancing at kung anu pang echuzes!)! After the ceremony, one of the speakers announced that college orientations will be held in their respective colleges. Our college announced that our orientation will be at 2 pm. After that announcement, we went outside and looked for IPmates. Well, they were gone! I was left with Ian and Johanna(IPmates). We decided to wait and search for our blockmates. But, to our surprise, we just met something fat. We met Sachee/China. She went with us to Rob to erm, eat. After eating, we went back to our respective colleges(Chynes' college is CN, we are from CP). Just in time for the orientation.
I met up with a more familar face, Simel. Then, we just let the orientation take its course. Ang mga people sa CP ay mukhang mababait. Well, siguro nga ganun talaga sila. Anyway, they were really nice. The faculty's cool. They joke around with their students. The presentations were really fun to watch. The ice-breakers were ok. Grabe. The people there are really so cool. Para sa akin a! Basta... they look really nice and they seem really enthusiastic. I wish I become friends with aaallllll of them! Haha..
I was really inspired by the people to strive harder and be tougher. I really wanted to pursue this course. I wanted to succeed in it. I really want to... I really want to...
Anyway, let's just hope for everything to go alright in the coming 5 years(hopefully, 5 lang.. Hehe.)...
'Welcome, Iskolar ng Bayan!'

Ramblings
It was almost 4 pm. The girl doesn't have a thing to do. Suddenly, thoughts flood her mind. She spoke to herself...
...
I heart Red Bull Barako! I hope they win the quarterfinals! But, Mark Caguioa is good too! Ahh, basta. Red Bull pa rin!
Boom! Another one!
Have I turned into this mushy romantic fool? For the past few days, I have immersed myself to different types of "Romantic Movies". And, I find myself really touched by the stories. Crapola! Is this the beggining of excessive mushiness on my part?! Oh, no...
She shuddered at the last thought. But, there was another one!
Amph. I am tense and pressured. Maybe, it's because of the impending havoc that the next school year might bring upon poor little me. Crap. Kaya mo yan, April!
She felt a bit optimistic. Another one...
What would be my 'first day high'? Brainy? Rebel? or Nice Guy?(asa)
She felt good after that. Another one...
Wait, wala na pala..
*Hurries on to the TV to watch Let's Go!*
PS. Gusto ko ng bangs. :D

Ang Kwaderno
I was Notebook-ed!
Wah. I have recently watched "The Notebook" on HBO. It was my first time to see the movie. Call me a sucker but the film actually made me cry. Bleh... I am not like this.
But, if you consider the circumstances, the film can be really "tear-inducing". Wala lang. The situation of the old Noah is just so depressing. Imagine that to happen to you! What would you do? Wouldn't you have those heart attacks?!
The amazing thing about the movie is that the old Noah just keeps on telling the old Allie the story of their lives even if she won't even remember it. She may remember it but just for what, a couple of minutes(as shown in the film). It's just so good to see that the old man is really exerting effort to make the old woman remember. Oh, the things people do for love...
Hmmm. Last words.
Sana hindi ako magkaroon ng degenerative disease pag 'tanda ko.
Memories are the last things I want to lose...

Fix You
Fix You
Coldplay
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream, down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I..
Tears stream, down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I..
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
**********************
It took me ages to realize this song's worth.
This song makes me wonder of the things I do in my life. Does my work go unnoticed? Or simply unappreciated?
I know that I am a person that wouldn't settle for less. But, why do I always feel like second best? Is it really that bad? I do try to be number one. I try. And sometimes, I find myself thinking, is that all there is to it?
"But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth"
I try but problems just keep lagging me down. When trying doesn't work its magic, what's left of us? What's left of me? I find myself completely hopeless and confused in deciding whether to try again or leave the matter in the trash.
"But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth"
Maybe, I need a moment to fix myself, to get another view of things or to be fixed. Maybe, I just need to try a bit more or find something that will drive me to try twice harder. Maybe, I need hope...
I have tasted disappointment and regret. I dare not experience the hurt anymore.
"Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you."

Apology
Come on. Let's be honest. We hurt each other as if it was part of a daily routine. And after a time, we realize our mistakes and say our sorry's.
I wish we are like we once were. I feel this strange gap between us. I feel an undeniable silence. I feel something bad is going to happen. This is not good. This definitely isn't. I wish I could change that. I'd like to go back, to us being friends again.
Yes, I swear I had my share of mistakes. I am responsible for most of our squabbles. I'm guilty of that. So, what am I to say to you now that the situation has changed? You did not forgive me this time around. Would a mere sorry do anything?
If it does not have an effect, I will still say it. Sorry. Wish we could be friends again.
