this is it. this time natuloy na din ang pagiging bloody ng wednesday ko na na-postponed last week. hehe. im actually tired to the bones right now, but i just feel the urge to write about the events of this day before i officially retire and call it a day (though its already 12:35 am. a new day, technically speaking…). apart from the sorta gloomy and highly unpredictable weather we had (un tipong di mo alam kung uulan ba o hindi), i can say that this day ranks as one of the happiest and most memorable (not to mention, ‘most pictured’) day of my life this year
here are the happenings:

- our professor in socio101 (neeks) fulfilled her promise last week of providing breakfast for us this meeting. she arrived with a plastic bag containing boxes of assorted slices of cakes from Chocolate Kiss for everyone to share and enjoy. wow, ChocKiss un! asteeg siya talaga. na-guilty tuloy ako for not reading the assigned readings for that meeting’s discussion.. (i promise next year that i’ll be a better student. you can quote me on that). anyway, bumawi naman kami sa group exercise (^_^) and we were also able to pull-off an intellectual discussion by answering her interesting questions eventhough most of us haven’t read the readings (o diba, asteeg din kami!). so far, a 7 am class ON A wednesday is not so bad after all. in fact, its great (given that proper factors are present na rin. hehe)
- after our class, we were overwhelmed by the fact na wala kaming magawa at kahit 10am na mukha pa ring 7am sa acad oval (read: walang masyadong tao at medyo mailap pa din ang araw. in other words, not enough vitamins). so dahil wala kaming magawa at di pa din naman kami makauwi sa aming mga bahay-bahay sa iba’t-ibang dako ng Pilipinas dahil sa mga napipintong kaganapan kinabukasan (ngaung araw na pla…), nag-ubos na lang kami ng oras by booth-hopping sa acad oval. at the same time, bevs was eternally asking herself then kung papasok pa ba siya sa class ni Pagli o hindi na. in the end, kasama ko siyang sumakay ng ikot pabalik ng KNL Heights with me hearing her say "its 12 o’clock in the afternoon. one hour before Pagli’s class and im going to sleep…" nice one bevs. just make sure that on january 4, you have a signed excuse letter to present to your highschool-principalish prof. don’t worry, it’ll be easy. just say you were anomic that day (socio concept again. hehe).

- dianne and i were able to successfully fulfill our lifelong dreams of walking around the campus without any interruptions (such as finally availing the irresistable treat promised by a friend halfway our itinerary or biglaang pag-ulan di pa man kami nakaka-layo ng boarding house — as in the case last week AT last last week :-/). with the boarding house as our 0 kilometer, i think we were able to walk around 5 kilometers that afternoon (yup! and my legs hurt.) anyway, masaya din naman kasi. and besides, dual purpose din naman yung paglalakad namin that afternoon kasi we were also scouting for a perfect gift na worth P50 for our exchange gift sa boarding house (the details of which will be presented in a short while). and oh, kung kelan naman wini-wish namin na wala kami masyadong makitang mga kakilala eh saka naman kami naging mga miss popularity. seconds after namin sabihin yung wish naming yun eh eto na, "hi dianne", "hi pam" na kaliwa’t-kanan. great. di naman kami nagre-reverse psychology kay Lord nung sinabi namin un… ewan ko ba. feeling nga namin kung may snap elections for University Student Council that particular time eh landslide winners na kami sa dami ng mga may kilala sa amin na na-encounter namin nung panahon na yun. haaayyy…

- finally, after 6 semester of boarding house life, natuloy na din ang eternal plan for a christmas party. yehey!! apart from the menu that my project coordinator boardmates prepared, may bonus ice cream at donuts pa kami from our honorary boardmates/frequent visitors na si myron at kuya richmond. yehey ulit!! also, nagkaron na rin kami ng chance to reciprocate our landlord’s efforts of giving premium cakes from either Red Ribbon or Goldilocks kapag bday ng isa sa amin. this time, kami naman ang nag-regalo sa kanya. we gave him a share in the foods my boardmates cooked and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (di kami kasali ni dianne sa pagluluto. clean-up na lang kami. by clean-up, we mean (1) eating the left-overs while chatting and (2) washing dishes… which is not so bad anyway).
- ang kulit namin nung time for exchange gift at group picture taking momentssssss. meron kaming isang boardmate na late sa party and it turned out na ako pla ung nabunot niya. so by the time na nagbubukasan na sila ng mga regalo, ako walang mabuksan. ang just to make me feel better, kinuhanan nalang nila ko ng picture. at the end of the party, i realized na sa 2 digital cameras that we have, ako ang laging makikita mo sa shots. ahehehe ^_^ sabi nga ni olive, "sayo ata ‘tong cam e?!"
(p.s.: we also had a group hug. awwwwww……!!)
- seems na hindi pa nakuntento ang mga boardmates ko at nag-games pa afterwards sa room namin. nag-pinoy henyo game pa kami till 12:30am. another bonding moment we had there. awwwww……!! again. hehe.
so… quarter to 2am na, at ako nalang ang gising pa. ibig sabihin ba nito eh dapat matulog na ko? hmmmm… sa tingin ko nga. also, i still have a festive day to go bukas (mamaya, i mean).
oblation run, more block bonding, lantern parade, fireworks display, reggae concert, miss eng’g…. here i come!
pero matutulog na muna ako. gnyt! :-*
