"Ang sakit ng ulo ko! Hindi ko na kaya! Parang sasabog na!"

Sus, tulog lang pala ang kailangan. Paano kasi, nasobrahan sa tulog. Hindi kasi sanay. 'Yan tuloy.

Hai naku! Ang gulo na! Masakit na nga ang ulo, an dami pang iniisip. Damit na lang pinoproblema pa.tsktsk. Pasaway na bata talaga.

At alam niyo bang game na game pa 'tong isang to makiparty. Hayun, todo porma at todo sayaw pa. Di bale naman daw, kahit galing sa sakit, nag-enjoy naman daw siya.

Ang paalam niya bago mag-alas-nuebe, uuwi na raw siya pero alas-diyes na wala pa rin sa bahay. 11 na siya noong nakauwi. Kasi naman nakipagtsismisan pa. Hindi rin naman daw siya masisisi kasi VIP 'yung kausap niya tsaka once in a lifetime lang 'yun.

May isa pang problema, 'yung isang kaibigan niya nagtatampo sa kanya. Hindi raw kasi siya mareach. Hindi na rin makausap. Si pasaway naman, pasaway talaga. Hindi man lamang gumawa ng paraan para magkaintindihan sila ng kaibigan niya. 'Yan tuloy. Hindi pa rin sila magkausap ng maayos. Saan kaya sila hahantong?

Hai naku! Ang gulo na talaga. Kung pwede lang nga takasan ko na 'tong kaguluhang ito eh. Nakakalito na kasi. Nakadaragdag lang sa sakit ng ulo. Wish ko lang magkaroon na talaga ng world peace. 'Yun na lang kasi talaga ang kulang eh. Tingin ko, kapag may world peace na, matatahimik na ang lahat. Wala ng gyera, wala ng gulo. Walang ng makapagrereklamo. Wala na ring magiging problema.

Pagdating ng tamang panahon, sana nga: May we truly rest in PEACE.:)

Maraming salamat naman at tapos na rin ang napakamadugong eksaminasyon. Ubos na kasi ang gasa namin sa bahay para mapigilan ang mabilis na pag-agos ng pulang likido na may hemoglobin, pula at puting white blood cells, at platelets.

Dahil nga tapos na ang paghihirap, mukhang magsisimula naman ang saya. Hayun si hershey, todo suporta sa Gabriela para sa paghahanda sa isang engrandeng selebrasyon ng grupo. Natural lang 'yun. Hindi kasi maiwanan ni hershey ang pangulo.

Sabi ni hershey pupunta raw kami sa bahay. Sabi ko naman, "Wow! Sana naman nagsabi kayo mga one day before or kahit man lng some hours before. Hindi 'yung mga 1 minute before." Pero biro lang 'yun. Kaya ko namang gawan ng paraan ang lahat para kay hershey.

Pero matagal pa bago kami nakaalis. Namomroblema pa kasi si hershey kung san siya kukuha ng bagong balde. Gagamitin niya raw 'yun para makaligo. Nasira kasing biglaan 'yung ginamit niya kanina lang. Hindi rin naman nagtagal, nakahanap na ng pondo si hershey para makabili ng bagong balde kaya diretso na kami sa bahay.

Nagkaroon ng last minute changes. Hindi na raw sa bahay namin pupunta. Sa kanila na lang daw. Sabi ko naman ayos lang. Kahit saan pwede na. At saka, hindi pa ako nakakapunta 'dun sa kanila. Pag dating namin sa bahay nina hershey, walang tao kaming naabutan. Solo namin ang bahay. Nanood kami ng "Isang Bala ka Lang" at "Tiyagong Akyat". Nagluto ako ng pansit para sa tanghalian. Pinagsabay namin ang panonood at pagkain. Di nagtagal, nagsawa na rin kami.

Pinagbalingan na lang namin ang sirang padyak nina hershey. Gusto kasi namin maglibot sa lugar nila. Joy ride ba. Matapos ang ilang oras ng pagkukumpuni, nakasakay na rin kami at nakapaglibot kina hershey.Maganda pala ang lugar sa kanila. Balak ko nga sana 'dun na rin ipatayo ang bahay ko kaso matagal-tagal pa 'yun.

Sa gitna ng lahat ng mga pangyayaring ito, mas natuwa kami sa pagkwekwentuhan. 'Yun naman talaga ang nakagawian ng magkakaibigan. Mas nagiging masaya at nagiging makabuluhan ang pagsasama namin kapag nagkwekwentuhan kami tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay na basta na lamang sumusulpot sa aming isipan. Hindi na rin 'dun maalis ang walang sawang tawanan.

Gagabi na. Bumababa na ang araw. Kailangan na naming umalis. Nagpaalam na kami kay hershey. Nagpasalamat na rin kami sa pagpapatuloy sa'min. Napakasaya ng naging bonding namin kina hershey. Nag-enjoy ang lahat lalung-lalo na ako. Bihira lang kasi ako makagawa ng ganoong klaseng mga bagay. Sana nga may part 2; kahit hanggang infinity para hindi na matapos ang kasiyahan; para huwag ng mag-exist ang kalungkutan.



Yes. Have any idea what that is?



Great! I'm now inside the car. My tito's family and I are going to Mall of Asia; probably to have some time to relax and have fun. We'll be met by my other tita there with her family also. It's gonna be exciting.

Well, first stop - for my cousins, Tom's World; kids will be kids - for me, McDonald's again. My tito wants to feed me up 'cause he's saying that I got thinner since he last saw me. I can't say no; he's tough. I hurriedly ate my lunch so that he'll be able to have some fun with his kids; which I know isn't totally gonna happen 'cause he got the flu. But still, he played. Unfortunately, we haven't seen my other tita in the mall. Somehow, there was a communication problem.

Just one terrible thing happened. My eight-year-old cousin's PSP got snatched by some hypocritic guy. We saw it on the play room's CCTV when we reported the gadget's loss. Quite smooth moves he got there. And the worst part was, the snatching happened when the culprit was right at my side. Such a pro! I really didn't noticed it. So did my innocent young cousin. Now, I'm a witness of Manila's vulnerability to danger and it served as a warning for me, now that I'm planning to take my college in the metropolitan.

Somehow, the fun was cut short. I left my cousins and my tito and tita in a bad mood. But it's fine. My experience wouldn't be complete without the 'down' part.

By almost 6:45 p.m., my tito and I left to go to the bus station. I'll have to return to Naga early. I can't miss class. We fetched our chaperon, my other tita, in Makati. And so, I bade my tito goodbye and said thank you for accommodating and making my stay wonderful.

We were the first ones on the bus so we waited for awhile. We also waited for Charm. By 9:00 p.m. we left Manila. And yes, we still have eight-hours to sleep and travel before we could totally have some rest.

We arrived in Naga at about 4:00 a.m. It was a fast trip. Not for long, Charm and I parted. Tired and sleepy, I hurriedly prepared my school things as soon as we arrived home. Everything happened like a camera flash. Next thing I knew, I was already in school, all drowsy and droopy.

epilogue:
[Our (Charm and I) stay inside the bus became fruitful as we talked about our lives - the more independent part of us. We talked about college, our job, our family and future families, present things, past, and more future things. Through our stories, we discovered new things about each other. We talked about our out-of-this-world dreams but we're positive in achieving all of them. I'm absolutely happy we had the trip together. It's one remarkable day in my life. It's one experience I'll have to cherish other than the trip to Manila. It made us closer and somehow made us better friends.]



Whew! I'm glad it's morning once again. What happened the night before were all just scary memories. Now, I would have to think of other things - other important things.

My tito woke me up. We have to be early so I could arrive on time, and to prevent those morning traffic jams in Manila. I felt bashful when I saw my tito trying to prepare my breakfast. I remembered my dad in him. Well, it wouldn't be much of a surprise 'cause they're brothers.

Soon, I hurriedly took a bath - not the usual type of bath I'm taking in my hometown 'cause we would be late if I'd do so; got dressed, then drove off to Taft. While on the road, I can say that I'm having the taste of Manila life. Seeing those sky-high buildings, being under some footbridges, in the wide highways and intersections of different places, really became a time of discovery and adventure for me. Some of the places we passed by were some famous landmarks which I just usually see on TV like the huge government departments, some coliseums, parks, entertainment establishments, and many others.

Before heading straight to my test center, we stopped at Baclaran. My tito and I prayed for my successful quest. Afterwhich, we continued along. At about 7:30 a.m., we arrived Taft. There was a line - a really long line, somehow 'causing traffic in the nearby road. That's when I realized how busy Manila was. I was met by my classmates, Charm and Franklyn. People, people, different faces, with different styles, different physiques - those were the things which caught my attention as I entered the campus. It was at that point that I realized how diverse people were. Some were foreigners, most of them, of the Chinese-blood. I've heard various languages. It felt weird. But eventhough I have these things disturbing my mind, my focus was the exam. We headed already to our contest rooms, and in there we stayed for almost 4 hours to take the test.

The exam was fine. I sure hope I could pass 'cause if not, it'll be one event in my life that I'll totally regret. It was lunch time already. Franklyn was fetched by her mother, and Charm by her brother. And me? Well, I never thought I have to wait for 2 hours before my tito fetch me. While alone, I stayed at the Gate A of DLSU. It was obvious 'cause there was a large sign which read 'GATE A'.*giggles*

There was also an examination scheduled in the afternoon so more students arrived - students who'll make me hard to convince that they're pretty much on the same year as I'm on. I've looked at more people; perhaps stared at them. It became my past time having to wait for almost 2 hours. It was quite amusing. When my stomach grumbled, I ordered LARGE fries & LARGE coke at McDonald's. Good thing it was just a few meters away from the campus.

And yes, I waited there from 12:30 til 2:30 p.m. all alone. All I could do was listen to the rushing LRT above the road I'm on, look at the similar looking cars with some weird ones passing by me, read the dress code of La Salle posted on a tarpauline outside the gate, and breathe the suffocating air of the busy Manila streets. I wasn't bored knowing that I'm stranger in a new place. There are lots more things to look forward to. Who knows, maybe the action's just around the corner...(part 1)

It was creepy!

Yes, I stayed up all night to finish things. But I can't just quite get through it 'cause there were noises - weird, loud, scratching, thumping sounds in one of my tito's empty closet room, as well as clatters of a sort-of-stomping and a rushing person down the stairs.

I was really horrified - first time for me to experience something like that. I kept on glancing at the clock. I don't know why; maybe to check the time, to see if 'midnight' really is a scary chance, but I still don't have a clue.

Every now and then, the noise was getting a bit clearer. At the start, it was just vague thumps, and sounds of prancing. I thought it was my tito trying to check me out or my tita trying to do some late night chores or maybe a big rat scurrying around, but at the back of my mind, I was negative about these wild guesses of mine. Sometimes, the noise fades but for a quick moment, it returns from bugging me. Moments after, I was already hearing footsteps down the stairs, quite rushing down, but as I stood up to look who was it, no one was there. I thought it was Blanch but the cat was quietly snoozing at the foot of the stairway. I was already freaking that time but I can't let my fear stop me from finishing my project so I just ignored it.

I stayed longer and the noises still continued. To relieve my tension, I attempted to turn the TV on. I tried many times but it won't. At that point, I'm really sensing something unusual. When it's hopeless, I proceeded with my business. Still, the creepy noises of horror were there.

Moments later, Blanch woke up for a weird act. The cat's eyes were as big as it were before. It approached me, came closer, felt like it wanted me to hold her or perhaps it wanted to jump on me. I felt endangered. The cat acted weird. It was like it got cursed or some soul overtook its body.

WAAAHH!!! At that point, my terror was at its peak. I can't take the horror anymore! I dashed to my tito's room and hurriedly went to bed leaving all my things untidy on the table downstairs. When I entered the room, tito and tita were cozily fast asleep. That's when I became totally scared about all those noises I heard earlier. If they were not my tito or tita's steps, then, whose are those?

My tita woke up after hearing me enter the room. She went out and closed all the lights. While I, I snugged in bed & fell fast asleep as those noises at the room infront disappeared.

'Til now, I still don't have any idea where I got the backbone to tolerate the shivers that night.(end of day 1)

I and Charm, with my tita, traveled to Manila last Friday night, October 16 to hurdle one of life's hardest tests - college life.

It was a tiring & FREEZING eight-hour travel inside Isarog bus. Good thing I was conditioned. I can't stop staring at the clock infront of me knowing that in just a couple of hours, I'll be able to step on the promised land, be able to smell the scent of the hypnic carbon from the racing vehicles causing those morning traffic jams I usually see on early morning shows, have that feeling of anxiety and caution from snatchers and holduppers - all of these things have my mind occupied other than the real purpose I have in mind for going to Manila.

Finally, at about 4:30 in the morning we arrived safely. We're abandoned by the bus at Alabang and we waited there for about an hour to have my tito fetch us up. I and Charm we're enthusiastic eventhough silent due to the exhausting trip. It's the first time that we've ever traveled and experience Manila together and the great thing was our adventure was just about to start.

At last, my tito arrived. He lives in Sucat, Parañaque. I don't have any idea where that is or how far we're going to travel but that's the nice part - that we're clueless. When we reached home, we literally dropped ourselves on the couch, ate breakfast, and had time for chit-chat. Not long, we're joined by my cousins and tita who just waked up. They'll have to do some business that day so I and Charm were left at home with my other tita sleeping. And guess what we did, other than shoo-away Blanch (my tito's annoying yet prudent pet cat), we did our homework - such studious girls! We can't miss school so we did schoolworks and projects in advance. Yey for us!

My tito was supposed to bring Charm to La Salle. She will stay with her brother and uncle at Sta. Mesa. Our 9:30 a.m. schedule became a three-hour agony of waiting. We almost left at 12:30 p.m. so we traveled straight to SM Sta. Mesa instead. My brother will go there also to hand me my test permit so I'm excited 'cause after 5 months, I'll be able to see him again.

Soon, Charm was fetched by her timid brother. We went straight to Max's to eat lunch and there we were met by my brother, who at first hand, I haven't recognized with all his new sense of fashion but his attitude never quite changed. It's a chicken-ful lunch for all of us.

After lunch, it's time for goodbyes again. My brother left alone and went back to UP. We dropped my tita at some point in Makati where she originally lives. All that's left is my tito and her bratty daughter. I was tired. In a few hours, we arrived home. At that time, I remembered that I have to accomplish one project. I asked my eight-year old cousin to accompany to a nearby internet shop. I researched some paperworks, afterwhich, I did my very complicated, unfinished masterpiece.

I could've finished it if not for the invitation of my tita to go to her house and there to take dinner. I can't refuse 'cause I know that it's also their first time that they'll have me visit their place. We rode off with my little cousins, bought 'pasalubong', had a wonderful dinner with them, spent the night with overflowing jokes, stories, laughs, dances, and more laughs. I'm happy I had the chance to experience those things.

It's getting late and I still have some important appointment tomorrow so we drove home back to my tito's place. I had myself prepared for bed but I'm not ready to sleep yet. I still have some things to do. Alone, awake, while all else are asleep & while I was getting myself busy, weird things occurred...(part 1)

Geometrical Mechatronics of Amusement (when was that again?)

Displays, exhibits, fun booths, busy organizers running here and there, enchanting choir, worthless noise, people in buses from unknown areas of cam.sur, lots and lots of naughty kids - the kermis was full of them, and the best past was books are forbidden! I somehow enjoyed it - reading trivias and fun facts, staring at some optical illusions which at some point really interested me, and all of them was for me to discover new things.

Slytherin enjoyed and it was all of Mr. Swakto's fault. Swakto's a really nice guy oftenly misunderstood by many. He agreed on dropping his shame for his countrymen; it's martyrdom but I pity him. Poor Mr. Swakto. :(

KRRIIINGG!!! It still resounds. That would be the signal of neglect & misfortune, and it would cost you.

I was merely lifeless that time just sitting & staying inside some prison. I'm not just the "fun-type-of-girl" who'll spend her time with friends and try break some out-of-this world issues. I'd rather play some music and appreciate nature's beauty and life's innocence alone.

Bakit kamo love story?? Hm. Ako rin nga, nagtatanong. Isang obserbasyon lang naman. Lately kasi nagiging mapagmatyag na ako sa paligid. At mula sa pangangalap ng sapat na impormasyon, nalaman kong marami talaga ang nababaliw sa pag-ibig, mapaliteral man o mapa-konotasyong kahulugan.

Kaya ngayon, mga tanong na lamang ang naiiwan sa aking isipan. Ano ang meron sa pag-ibig na siyang nagdudulot ng lahat ng kaguluhang ito?Bakit pag-ibig? Sino ang mastermind ng lahat ng ito? [i'm talking of romance]

Ilan lamang 'yan. Pero teka, bakit ko nga ba 'to sinusulat? Baka sabihin niyo dahil sa inlove na rin ako. Hindi naman sa ganon. Sadyang mapagmasid lang talaga ako sa mga panahon ngayon. Wala na kasing ibang mapaglibangan kaya pamasid-masid na lang.

Napansin ko kasi, bakit halos lahat ng awit, sikat man o hindi, ay napapatungkol lahat sa pag-ibig? Lalo na 'yung mga kantang pinatutugtog sa radyo o pinapalabas sa telebisyon. Kakaunti na lang ang mga kantang may ibang theme tulad ng mga awit para sa ating bayan, tungkol sa katapangan, sa pasasalamat, sa pananampalataya. Mabibilang lang nga siguro sa kamay ang mga ito kumpara sa mga love songs na katumbas na ng ilang songbook ang dami.

Pangalawa, bakit patok na patok sa masa ang mga pelikulang romansa?; gaya na lang nga mga pelikula ni John Lloyd at Bea, Sam at Anne, Gerald at Kim, at ng kung sinu-sino pang mga love teams, na kung tutuusi'y hindi naman sila real-life sweethearts, kung oo man, naghihiwalay naman pagtagal.

Pangatlo, bakit pag-love ang pinag-uusapan, maraming nakikinig, maraming usyusera? Kapag pag-ibig ang nagiging topic, maraming interesado. Kumbaga, parang lahat sila, nakakarelate; kinikilig pa nga. Bakit pag math o physics ang lesson, walang participants? Mas interesting pa nga 'yun kung tutuusin kasi marami silang mapupulot na learning na maaaring iapply sa reality. Eh ang love...hmmm...'di ko lang alam kung kailangan pa ba 'yun pag-aralan.

At pang-apat, bakit mas matindi ang naidudulot na epekto ng pag-ibig sa isang tao? Anong meron 'to? May nababaliw, may nagpapakamatay, at may sobra kung mag-emo dahil lang sa binusted ng nililigawan, dahil nakalimutan ng anniverasary, o dahil sa matinding pagseselos. Parang napaka-ironic naman yata. Bakit walang nagpapakamatay over a failed exam? o kapag hindi nakapasa ng project?

Alam ko, mahalaga ang pag-ibig, pero hindi rin naman nangangahulugang pabayaan mo na 'yung mga bagay na kung tutuusi'y mas mahalaga kaysa pag-ibig. May oras para diyan. Palagi namang may tamang panahon. Kailangan lang talagang maghintay. Sabi nga natin, in God's time.

Ngayon, kung sakali mang may eksperto diyan o kahit na ordinaryong tao lamang na maaaring makasagot sa mga tanong kong ito, I would really appreciate talaga. Encouraged din ang iba na magbigay ng ilang comments para naman mapalawak pa natin ang ating usapan.

So, what do you think?




Masasabi ko lang, 'di na talaga matatawaran ang kapasawayan ko. Try me. Isa akong certified 'MALDITA'.

Maaga akong natulog kagabi. Wala lang. Inantok na kasi ako. Malamig at madilim pa naman. Ang sarap matulog. At yun na nga, natulog na daw pero hindi pa naman. Naku! Nanood pa ng 'Sydney White and the Seven Dorks' sa HBO (HBO ba yun?) starring Amanda Bynes and Matt Long (celebrity crush-able). Pagkatapos, natulugan pa ang TV. Maaksaya sa kuryente! Pasaway talaga!

May mga homework...ang dami nga eh. Pero hulaan niyo kung ano ang ginawa ng maldita. Hayun, buong umaga sa harapan ng computer kausap si Justin Bieber, o di kaya'y abalang nangangalap ng mga balita sa blog niya. Lanzones at papaya lang, kuntento na siya.

Mag-aalas tres na. Pupunta pa sa bahay ng classmate para mang-istorbo. Akalain niyo ba naman, nambulabog pa ng bahay ng may bahay. 'Di na talaga nahiya. Pero infairness, nabawi ang pagiging abusado kasi biglang nagsabog ng liwanag ang Mahal na Diyos. Sabay-sabay ang mga magkakaibigan papuntang simbahan. Ang maldita biglang naging anghel.:)

Ang paalam ko hanggang 7pm lang, pero hulaan niyo kung anong oras na ako umuwi. Hindi ko na sasabihin. Gusto ko hulaan niyo. Naglilihi kasi ang maldita kaya natagalan pa bago umuwi. Naghanap pa ng espesyal na bunga para sa hapunan niya. [ang arte!] Nagkahiwa-hiwalay na rin ang tatlo pauwi.

Heto ngayon ang maldita. 'Di pa rin natatapos ang kapasawayan. Patuloy pa rin sa paghahasik ng kasutilan. [haaii] Di bale, masaya naman siya. Pero siyempre, 'di pa rin mabubuo ang happiness niya kung purong kapasawayan ang paiiralin. Kaya simula ngayon, napagpasiyahan niyang magbebehave na siya para pure na'ng kasiyahan niya.:p

[May hinihintay ako. Sana dumating; sana dumating sa tamang oras. May gusto lang kasi ako malaman; isang sagot lang, matatahimik na ako...]

• Location of Center (as of 4:00 a.m.): 260 km Southeast of Aparri, Cagayan
• Coordinates: 16.6°N, 123.6°E
• Strength: Maximum sustained winds of 175 kph near center and gustiness of up to 210 kph
• Movement: Northwest at 17 kph

Typhoon Pepeng had just left Bicol Region under state of misery with heavily flooded roads, canceled flights and trips, stranded passengers, and countless damages to property and lives yesterday night, October 2.

A miracle it might sound but 'Pepeng' has changed its course late last night and was reported to be heading to Cagayan instead of the Isabela-Aurora area. Manila won't experience that much of a hit with the typhoon moving farther from the Metropolitan.

Twin-Typhoon Melor

Typhoon 'Pepeng' churned in the Pacific Ocean with its equivalent-to-major hurricane status-twin typhoon, Melor. But praise God that Super Typhoon Melor is farther out to sea, and on a path farther north into southern Japan by early next week, and won't be affecting our country anymore. This storm currently has winds near 130 mph that would rank as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir Simpson scale.

I think that Philippines should now be called the "Typhoon Capital of the World" just for the fact that it's hit by more than ten super typhoons, if not, typhoons that are too much destructive and violent for the humble Filipinos.

I know that these phenomena have some hidden agenda -not just to take revenge but to leave a message to humans. I know that you know what I'm talking about. Mother Nature is sending its strongest calamities to beat us down, to disable our riches and capabilities so that we can no longer hurt her anymore. And if I were her, I'd do the same thing. She knows best. It's her mission to protect the planet & to preserve its resources, but it's also our obligation to take care of the only place we call home.

Last September 26, 2009, the country was devastated by a super strong force of nature which literally submerged low-lying areas in Metro Manila and other neighboring provinces, leaving millions of damage to property and a loss of more than two hundred innocent lives.

He's the buzz of all the radio and television stations in the country on the night of devastation. His name was PAG-ASA's favorite as it was repeatedly mentioned for a couple of times in its weather bulletins. And he's the one which left Manila floating in tears and tragedy - now considered as the Filipinos' worst nightmare. Who could ever forget Typhoon Ondoy? The name is still resounding in everyone's head as it caused pain and suffering to people resulting to a deep cut difficult to heal.

Facts && Figures:

But among the many stories of devastation and despair, we now hear stories of hope, of people who risked their lives to save others, of entire communities that immediately mobilized volunteer groups and sent relief goods to those in need. The invisible, once impenetrable, barriers that lay between the levels of our stratified nation broke as rich and poor, famous, and ordinary untelevised-folks helped each other and are helping each other survive the storm. Millions worth of donations in cash and in kind also flooded different institutions as soon as they've heard about the horrying destruction. Today, in the midst of crisis, the Filipinos stand united.

Of course there are those who still cannot shed their own selfish interest. Certain politicians seem to be using the aftermath as a means to rank up popularity points. However, as much as I find this despicable, help is help and we need all that we can get."]

The Backwash

What happened in Manila is not just any ordinary calamity. It was a fierce tragedy everyone should be aware and be frightened of. This is nature's way of avenging for harming the planet. We become more and more abusive of nature's benefits; we get and gain mortal power but no one could ever defeat nature's retaliation.

Let this be a warning for all of us to start caring for the planet, to start renewing the earth we once destroyed, and to begin thinking for the next generations.



Lots of things have kept me from blogging these days. I better not mention them anymore. You might be shocked with the things I've experienced, things I've done and haven't done, and to what I've been through lately. Even I couldn't imagine how I survived from past's tragedies.

So far, it's been fine. Things are doing well between me and my ghostly personality. Soon, my horror story would end. And for sure, fairytale-like comedy movies are next in line that's certainly record-breaking.

I would just like to mention, I'm ok. I'm great. Things may come unexpectedly but that's what makes it an extraordinary, worth-treasuring experience. Because of what's happening, I'm getting replies to my long-unanswered questions.

Can I just say that Slytherin's the best even under the worst circumstances? September 30 was my best experience with them so far. We did our math project a day before its submission. For short, cramming. But, I didn't feel the pressure 'cause they're there. For the first time, I was luckily grouped to such industrious, appreciative, supportive, cooperative, risk-taking classmates of mine. Even those who neglect projects before unbelievably helped this time. It's a big treat for me to see them so responsible now, now that I'm no longer the one who does all the work, or the one who terribly cries over some missed project while the rest of my members are just prettily sitting. [memories tsk.tsk.moving on.]

Speaking of moving on, someone, or something, or some haven't moved on yet.I don't know what's the problem. All the ingredients are there. With a little mix, one could surely end up with a satisfying delight. But it seems that things are far more complicated than a little mix. Perhaps forgetting really isn't the thing of that 'someone', of that 'something' or of that 'some'. It's my wish that they'll be able to earn some peace eventually 'cause they deserve it.
