    A Little Less Vague
    Posted by Pearl at 20:41 | Comment [1] |

    4 May 2008

    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...

    Before the long year-ender post
    Posted by Pearl at 10:18 | Comment [1] |

    31 December 2007

    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.

    Our usual Cascada Lunch

    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
    Posted by Pearl at 10:32 | Comment [4] |

    7 October 2007

    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....

    A breather from Polsci madness
    Posted by Pearl at 22:00 | Comment [1] |

    9 September 2007

    I’ve been in an emotional rut for the past few days, and it doesn’t help that there are just so many school-related things I need to worry about. Every now and then, I’ve been trying to get a hold of myself, trying to dismiss anything that will let me fall into a relapse. I guess the stress helps me focus on the things that should matter for the time being. I have to make the most out of everything.

    Saturdays are meant to be days of indulgence for myself. My tito happens to be one of the regional directors under...

    Adjusted, but not so
    Posted by Pearl at 22:15 | Comment [2] |

    27 August 2007

    I can’t believe that the next weekend is already the start of September! A few more crazy hellish months and I’m off to sembreak haven!

    It’s amazing how adjusted I am being in my junior year now. Prior to stepping into Ateneo and experiencing being in the midst of the infamous hell week, you wouldn’t see me pulling all-nighters, cramming papers or studying till the wee hours of the morning. Not that I was a slacker (hardly). I just couldn’t find myself doing all those. Nothing was worth foregoing my beauty sleep.

    Slowly, after terror profs, endless groupworks and unthinkable research/paper...

    Here's to positive distractions
    Posted by Pearl at 11:06 | Comment [8] |

    8 July 2007

    I’ve never experienced heightened emotions tugging me endlessly in various directions consecutively the way I’ve been having them recently. Well, at least not since I was going through the worst ordeal back in high school. Of course, I was a completely different person then. More impulsive, less mature. But I still never expected this.

    Siguro tama na. Isasarado ko na muna hanggang sa makita ko na kara pat-dapat pa itong balikan.

    It’s really exhausting, and as much as I want to make things turn out okay. Circumstances prove to make me feel otherwise. I don’t want to be angry. I really don’t....

    Nearing end of summer and the start of a new sem
    Posted by Pearl at 16:45 | Comment [3] |

    9 June 2007

    Why, oh why do I have to get a really crappy random number for picking out classes and schedules this time my Junior year?! It was insane. Call time was 1:40, and I finally ended up with the final list of classes 3 hours after – a far cry from minutes of enlistment from previous sems. I went through hell and back just to fight for a good sched. Fortunately, I was probably one of the luckiest in my block to get a decent sched with great teachers. The only perks of being one of the last few ones, and...

    Day-night-day out with best friends
    Posted by Pearl at 23:21 | Comment [5] |

    3 June 2007

    I guess I’ll start off with the obvious new layout. Honestly, I’ve been in a total design rut the entire summer. And even until now, I still think I’m suffering. It’s really depressing. But I had to change the layout. Summer is a thing of the past, and rainy days are out to come and get me. Tomorrow, I will be going back to AdMU for regform distribution. School’s here, and I’m still not fully into it. Wonder what happens next.

    I do hope you guys appreciate the color scheme used. The colors used are pretty unconventional, but I’m all...

    April Overnight Reunion with my High School Friends
    Posted by Pearl at 11:14 | Comment [2] |

    18 April 2007

    Last Saturday, my high school friends and I got together once again for an overnight outing. It’s been awhile since we had an out-of-town activity like this. Despite only a few, cool, available people present, we still had tons of fun together. Most of them had summer classes and wanted to take advantage of their last few summer days before hitting the books the next day. Pictures will try to do justice.

    All excited. :)

    Celebrating Sarah's Big Adventure
    Posted by Pearl at 15:16 | Comment [10] |

    5 April 2007

    Yesterday, I found myself reunited with my High School friends to execute our little surprise adventure for one of my best friends, Sarah. A few days before, my partner-in-crime Jazzy and I (picture on the right) wanted to have some kind of surprise for Sarah. It was just very fitting because we also wanted to see each other and celebrate the end of our school year. Finally, we came up with the perfect surprise adventure ala Amazing Race. Whoopee. Problem is we had to recruit a little bit more than ten people for a flawless execution. And since it was terribly short notice for everyone, we were a bit apprehensive about the participants. Oh well. Being the resourceful, quick-thinkers that we were (haha), we were able to make do, despite only a few who confirmed. And I am soooo happy that most of my and Sarah’s friends were there to help out. Thank you so much, loves!
