This year is love
If there is one word that describes this year, it would have to be love. NOT purely in the romantic sense of the word, but in every way possible that it can mean to anyone. The year before, 2007 was a defining one – difficult, challenging and emotional. It may sound corny, but 2008 and I felt more like a whirlwind romance, with grandiose and modest stories to share and cherish. I took the plunge and found myself in an incredibly exciting ride. Allow me to be my corny, sappy self as I look back into the wonderful relationship I had with 2008. Because I have nothing but love to share as this year draws to a close.
Here’s to falling a few times more with 2008…
Recapturing the busy month I had
It’s hard to go back in detail how I spent the past month. It was by far the busiest month I’ve ever experienced my entire student life. Last summer came pretty close, but just because this one involved all facets of my entire self, it exceeds everything I did then by a mile. It was physically, emotionally and mentally exhausting. I had quite a few breakdowns along the way, but as soon as everything wrapped up wonderfully and successfully at the end, I had to say it was all purely worth it. I have proven a lot of things to myself, and quite proud of what I have accomplished. Here are a few snapshots from some recent celebrations. I wish I had all the pictures with me to share, but these will do. Happy Holidays everyone!
Lovely, lovely December
The long weekend was refreshing. It allotted me time to relax and spend on more leisurely activities. I’ve been working very hard since the semester started. And while I feel like the things I’ve somehow started are not even close to what I’m supposed to accomplish in the nearing weeks, I’m taking time to appreciate some of the things that I do tend to overlook such as the nearing holidays.
December comes knocking on my door so fast and somehow catches me off guard. Apart from all the usual darling festivities and holiday cheer I adore, I do have a busy month ahead. Squeezing in Christmas shopping amidst all my holiday projects while I continue to keep my grades up is a challenge I’m going to take. Let’s just hope the positivity manages to keep my spirits high everyday.
I’m trying to be as productive as I can be. While that is quite admirable, I am tempted every time to just stand back and take a breath. I’ve been quite sick a week ago, and it was a wake-up call to my body. Thus, I’ve been sleeping at least 8 hours a day and trying hard not to skip any meals. I’m also doubling up on vitamins when necessary. I can’t be sick, and I also want to live a healthier lifestyle. The result? It does wonders on my skin.
The sun in the early morning is wonderful as it keeps me energized to take on the day ahead. And as nights seem to be longer now that it’s December, I marvel at the Christmas lights and decorations adorning the streets. It leaves me all warm and fuzzy. It makes me crave for bibingka, sweet ham and cranberries every time. Christmas is also the ultimate holiday to be reminded of generosity and love. I feel like I need to share all the love I can with everyone, just because this year has allowed me to meet more people to love and...
Happy Happy 21
My internet has been quite screwy lately, which made me postpone blogging time, but now it’s all dandy and I actually have some time for myself to rest and recover from a little bit of everything. It’s not going to last long since I still have midterms, orals and a lot of org work to accomplish during the next few weeks. At this point, I might as well share a few happy happenings recently as I just turned twenty-one last Wednesday. :)
Woohoo! Seniors!
I guess the new layout has to wait. I’ve been indulging lately that I barely had any time to sit in front of the computer for a day straight. I’ll try to whip something up when I get back, with hopefully lots of stories and adventures to tell. (I’m really not in a blogging mood, so pictures will have to do…)
Last Friday, I officially ended my BlueREP CORE duties and celebrated a successful year for BlueREP and the incoming core as well. I tried not to be sad and all because I’m pretty sure I’m still going to be active (maybe even more so!) next school year and will still help out with the new core. There are no words to describe how proud I am that my dear blockmate and friend, Emjo is now the new Company Manager for BlueREP. I am very excited for the organization next year. :)
It was really nice seeing a lot of old and new members, our talented alumni, and our blueREP friends come together to celebrate with us. There’s a part of me that is saddened by the thought that I haven’t performed in a long time. That will have to change soon.
Yesterday, on the other hand was spent with some of my PolSci blockmates. We went to Serendra to celebrate the end of our Junior year and the fact that we’re finally Seniors! After Serendra, they all headed to my house where we ended up playing guitar hero and Magic Sing. After everything that we’ve been through this sem, I just have to say that I love PolSci people. :)
haha. I’m sorry that this just sounded like such a lame entry, but I still need to do some last minute packing! Will try to blog as soon as I can.
Ciao. :)
