I just got home from watching Stardust with my friends, Jam and Kent. FYI: It was a really, really good and entertaining movie. Neil Gaiman never fails.

I’m pretty much in total sembreak mode despite a major group research paper to be submitted this Friday. I guess I’ll be devoting my entire day tomorrow for that. Also, my new chocolate-detox diet is ongoing and I haven’t failed yet! It’s almost a week since I started depriving myself of my ultimate sweet weakness. Good job me.

It’s pretty obvious how much of a series-freak I am. Apart from all the shows I’ve mentioned in my previous post, I am now hooked with two new ones: Pushing Daisies and Journeyman. If you enjoy trying out a quirky, fun, whimsical, forensic ‘fairy tale,’ I highly recommend checking out the former one. (It also has 3 broadway divas including Kristin Chenoweth!!!) The latter, on the other hand, is for those who like more time-traveling adventure and mystery. It’s also set in San Francisco, which made me all nostalgic about Charmed. Due to the insane number of downloads we have for the week, my sister and I have our own weekly download system.

But before I continue on with my series-filled night, I’ll share some pictures with my blockmates from last Friday’s sem-ender. To celebrate the end of our hell sem, we channeled our love for singing and indulged on our own KTV Night in Greenhills.

It was chaos, of course. My blockmates are pretty much entertainers in their own right that I can’t help but think we might be in the wrong course. hahaha. Most of the time, we can’t help but inject our own ‘theatrics’ in any presentation or report. I swear my blockmates ooze talent. Our previous teachers can attest to that.

It might seem like they’re goofing up and cracking sabaw jokes all the time. But every now and then, and at times when they actually need to, they will surprise you with their profound insights and opinions. These are lawyers-in-the-making after all.

One of the many things I love about being in a theory-ridden course such as PolSci (apart from our kickass department!) is that I can be around people who seem like they’re always full of ideas. I love that I am surrounded by people who are expressive, passionate and interesting. It doesn’t matter if they all hold different beliefs or ideas. Or that I may feel or believe otherwise. Sure, our strong personalities might bring about situations wherein we can’t help but clash. But ultimately, listening to these people speak about and share something new and insightful, inspires and amazes me every time.

Despite the endless readings, the stressful group works, and the occasional need for BS during crammed papers, I really am glad that I’m living my college life surrounded by people who will continue to surprise me every time. We’re all pretty close and comfortable with each other at this point. I think I my have found a new set of brothers and sisters for myself. Besides, we all gotta hang in there for law school anyway.

But before then, I need to make sure I make the most out of the last 3 semesters. Good luck with that.
