I love you, friends
I spend a lot of my days lately thinking about law school, my other plans in between, after or who knows when. It’s quite exhausting emotionally because reality does hit hard and I can’t help but start worrying about things I know I should stop worrying about. Good thing I’m not going through it alone. There is indeed joy in sharing it with my closest friends under light-hearted and scrumptious circumstances. haha! Thank you Facebook for making it easier for us to plan our sporadic get-togethers!
Here’s this week’s Friday 5:
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. :)
A Little Less Vague
It’s a sunny Sunday, a welcoming treat from the oh-too-annoying sudden strong downpour of yesterday afternoon. Storms are usually my cup of tea. But at times when it starts to ruin my already set important plans, then it is just downright annoying. I missed some important meetings, and a COA get-together that I was looking forward to go to. I was just absolutely not in the mood yesterday, and spent the rest of the night locked up in my room, tinkering with phone applications and watching Disney. (The latter somehow lifted my spirits up.)
But all is well now. I’ll take the glorious sunny skies as a good sign. Sunday is my favorite day. And my preferred blogging day as well. It’s also about time I start to blog after every few days rather than just once a week. Perhaps I’m just saying that because of the long weekend afforded to me. And what a refreshing long weekend indeed. It’s been quite awhile since I last bummed around and became idle even for a bit. I even had time to catch up with my other best friends from High School, who were unfortunately absent during our last reunion.
I decided we should try eating somewhere in Greenbelt 5 and ended up at this really pretty restaurant called Damaso. They serve Filipino dishes with funky names from El Fili and Noli characters. We found ourselves reminiscing over our High School El Fili/Noli days for a short while. Haha. It was too funny. :) But the food was delicious and satisfying. I even tried their tsokolate eh with goat’s milk and it was divine. One of the best hot chocolate drinks I’ve ever drunk.
We spent the night talking and laughing over everything! It was about time we catch up on each other’s lives, especially when one of my friends had such amazing news!...
Before the long year-ender post
But before I give in to my year-ender list, here are some post-Christmas affairs with my high school girlfriends, TATU and my CBCD high school friends.
The first picture below was held last Thursday when some of my closest girl friends and I met for lunch at Cascada, Greenbelt and dessert at Cafe Breton to catch up. The following day, we had one of our monthly class reunions at SM Mall of Asia, as well as Global Fun Carnival. It was so nice to see faces that I haven’t seen for a long time. But like always, we just end up picking off where we left. There are no gaps, awkward silences or uncomfortable moments. We all ended up having tons of fun with the rides and with all the good laughs and interesting conversations.
During days and weeks of academic hell
This is probably my hardest sem yet. And I mean that in different levels – testing me here and there every freakin day. It’s still baffling how I have mustered that much strength to bring me to this point – October 7, my sister’s birthday (no connection whatsoever) with only 5 more days till sembreak freedom. I’ve been wishing for some sort of time-off and recluse ever since this sem started. Now that it’s almost here, I can’t wait. Of course, just before that, hell arrives.
Last week was the hell week of all hell weeks in my entire Ateneo life. To my horror, I had to endure consecutive, caffeine-induced all-nighters. And I never liked any of those. It was a good thing I had the company of my group mates. My hell day of all hell days with 3 crucial, do-or-die group reports culminated last Thursday. How did it all go? Let’s just say I’m just glad it’s over. I received positive feedbacks from all, so I’m happy.
Last Tuesday, I had my last COC7 meeting with the girls and the Candy editors at Icebergs, Galleria. It was a joy seeing my co-council mates, who have become my good friends during my entire experience. It was a bittersweet meeting that ended with a lot of cam-whoring and messages. I shall miss everything about being a part of Candy. Hopefully it won’t be the last.
Despite having to attend my Philo Final Orals (that I feel like I have screwed) the following day, I went to the Little Prince Concert with my friends. It was a benefit concert for our teacher, Mr. Abodilles, who is in dire need of a kidney transplant. It’s amazing how Augustinians can pull off a huge concert in a span of 2 weeks. Ang galing. Iba na talaga pag nasa kolehiyo.
