Life's a BEACH.

No doubt, summer is finally here and enjoying summer holidays on the beach is something I look forward to. With these kind of temperature, a family trip to the beach is very much welcome. Lately, I’ve been fantasizing about where I can spend my summer. As much as I wanted to go to the famous summer destination such as Bora or Palawan, I know I couldn’t just yet because I don’t have the luxury to spend that much money. The most convenient beach resort we had that time was at Portofino Cebu.

 It sure was a great day to spend a not-so-lazy-weekday at the beach. It was also my Kuya's birthday that time which gave us another reason to celebrate :D

Just the smell of summer can make me fall in love. I really can't swim but I am just in love with the beach.

The fine powdery white sand, crystal clear water and spectacular sunsets - - it’s just so breathtaking :)

4IS-B Family

"School is stupid, horrible and a pain in the butt. I hate school, but in that place you hear a lot of funny things that help you get through the day." This video presentation was shown during the Meet the Parents. I can't help but get teary-eyed. Bittersweet memories with the people whom I spend my entire college life with. It's very heart-breaking to think that it's time we go our separate ways. I will definitely miss my 4IS-B family.

Guilty

A friend shared the link of this video and I actually cared to watch and finish this despite the fact that I have a slow internet connection here. When you read the title, you know it isn’t appropriate. Being a Filipino, I’m sure you will be disappointed with this. But upon watching the whole video I realized that what the guy is talking about is actually true. I know that this will be a big issue; I'm expecting a lot of violent reactions for this guy. But come to think of it, the things he shared are true and actually happening in our country. I know it’s sad to hear all this stuff but hello it is reality. A sad reality indeed. I hope this will serve as an eye-opener for us Filipinos. We must not tolerate the negative feedbacks that we receive from foreigners. It’s time we do something about this. Just saying though :)

Graduation Gitters

FYEAH, I'M GRADUATING! :) March 31 is the BIG day. Mixed emotions - - feeling excited to march down the isle and feeling sad because I know I'm gonna miss the daily routine of being a student. But just like what they say, all ending are beginnings too. I'm so thrilled of what's in store for me :') Thank you Lord for always being there <3

Defining Moment

Our Recognition Day was held yesterday, and because I was included in the so-called prestigious dean’s list from last sem, I was awarded with my certificate of recognition by our very own Dean de Alban.

Me and my celebrity ate with Dean. :)

 I was 10^th placer with the semestral average of 1.45 by the way, I’m not bragging though it may seem like it. Haha. I don’t know, but I just don’t feel proud about it. Yes I’m thankful because so far this is the highest that I achieved and never did I imagine myself being on the top 10 but that’s it. I’m not proud maybe because I don’t deserve it or maybe because I don’t see something special about it. Weird. Haha.

But the most rewarding feeling is that I made my parents and family proud of me once again. I know that I’ve been making them proud since my elementary days that is why I’m their favorite. Hihi:> As long as I’m making my parents proud I’m good with it already. 

Lazzzyyy ass

So our Prelims started last Wednesday (Jan18) until Saturday. It was my last Prelims in my entire student life BECAUSE I’M GRADUATING *yes, there should be emphasis on that* so I was supposed to be on my nerd mode and study ‘til the wii hours of the night. But that was not the case. I don’t know, but I’ve been a lazy ass this past few days, actually it’s been months already. So there I was the night before my Nat Sci exam, I strolled the mall, went to Happy Lemon; had Cocoa Rocksalt with Cheese and I even wanted to drop by Padi’s point because of the party vibes it has. The following night, I attended a party and wasn’t able to study for my Ethics and Taxation exam. For sure I failed that subject; screw the proctor. The third night I was at Eastwood until 2am and when I arrived home, I immediately went to bed. So the consequence, failing grade in my COBOL exam. Deym FML :( The last night, I decided to just stay home but still I was not in the mood to study so I watched a movie instead. 

For the record, this has been my very first Prelims week that I didn’t even bother to read a single lesson we had. It was like I’m going to a battlefield unprepared and willing to die anytime soon. When it’s time to see my grades, I already know what to expect, low grades of course. I don’t want any of this irresponsibility’s to happen again. I’ll try my very best to focus. I promise myself that I’ll do better in our Finals. I must do good and I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

getting this heavy feeling :\

Tough day. This is probably one of the hardest challenges that our class is going through right now. Just like what Ate Anne said, “Whirlwind of emotions, ang bigat, ang lungkot but end of the day, kailangan matatag pa rin." I couldn’t agree more with her statement.

It sucks seeing your classmates in this kind of situation. Until now, I still wish that this is just a bad dream but then its reality. A sad reality indeed. I get this heavy feeling inside every time I think of the two. We may not be the closest friends in the world but still they are my classmates. They’ve been part of my college life so it’s also hard for me, and for our whole class actually. 

The least thing that we can do right now is to pray. Pray harder every day. I always keep reminding myself to always look at the positive side of things. Eventually, everything will be alright. Just believe.
