Before & After

It's been weeks I think since I last blogged so this is just one random thought. :)

Approximately 6 months ago, I also created a blogger account. That was my most vulnerable stage in my life, well, as of now. But, just moments before I'm typing this, I read those 4 posts I made before. It made me laugh and emotional at the same time. My first post was about love, and how terribly I'm in love with some person, I still love until now. Funny, right? Anyway, it says there that I was really really really confused about what I'm feeling and what is my own definition of love or as I may say falling in love. The second post was about my friends, this is the post that made me emotional and somehow gave me into a weeping state. It was all about my friends. My friends that I treasure the most as God's given gifts and blessings. I felt how I loved them back and love them still. It really made me emotional because when I made that blog we were all still together in one class, but now, we're in college. We all have different schools now, and it's really hard for us to see one another or even bond completely. I'm praying to God that we'd be able to bond soon. SOON.

These are pictures of my barkadas: (Yes I know I have different groups of friends) :D

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT: Senior's Night 2012 ( I miss it, this is a collage with my forever sisters in life)

So those are just some of my barkadas... I will soon post my new set of friends, of course. We're in college I should not mess it up mixing them with my high school friends.

Third and fourth post of mine is somehow same to each other. The third one is entitled "Stoned at Home" and the last one is "Cry Like a River". Both obviously pertains to being super duper emotional. But when I was reading this two consecutive posts, it made me laugh. Seriously!! Like, I was giggling because now at home it's really different.

Before I was too bitter about my brother that's why I'm really being rebel before and now, I'm totally chill about it. It's like I don't care anymore on how they put too much attention on my brother, because it is actually a disadvantage and I want them give their attention to him so I can be free. Well, maybe that was really their goal. To make me independent and stuff. To tell you the truth, throughout my high school years I've lived independently in studies, in our glee club and in my social life. I'm always on my own, and now my brother is not even though he's ALMOST in his secondary level of education. It will really be hard for him what was so easy for me. Goodluck my dear brother. :))

That's all, enjoy those photos I posted, there are a lot of pretty girls and handsome boys ;;) HAHA

Adjusting Period

College. I can't define it based on a dictionary but this blog would be talking about a lot of adjusting and a lot of rants about how different grade school, high school and college is. 

I never thought that college would be really hard. I'm just in my first week of college and I'm about to give up. Well, I don't usually give up, but I guess I'm just really tired right now since I don't usually wake up at 4:30 in the morning. My regular time of waking up when I was in high school was 6:30 - 6:45am already. I was either on time or late in class. In college, I can't do that anymore. I might even be considered absent when I go to one class so late. So, goodbye tardiness, hello punctuality.

For the past 4 days in school, which were very tiring, we've already ran through a lot of lessons already. In a span of days?! I swear I felt so tired on the last day, 'cause of INFORMATION OVERLOAD. I think when I was still in high school one topic was discussed for almost a week while in college POOF in less than one hour, our professor have already ran through everything. I swear everything was so fast, I'm not sure if I was able to cope up with every word he said. To think that we already have a quiz next meeting. 

I'm really scared for college now. Older college students are really serious about hell week every week. Anyway, I just want to rant about how hard it is to adjust. Here are some of my graduation pictures.

Here's a picture of me when I graduated from Stella Maris College Gradeschool

Me and my pretty toga!! BLUE AND GOLD MC YEAH! :))

And my graduation picture. An Alumni of Miriam College High School

Now, I am currently enrolled in the University of Santo Tomas, specifically in the College of Science. I am really having a hard time adjusting. 

That's all. Bye! :D

Waiting in Vain (Advice)

I just realized while typing the title that I've already made a blog of this before but I knew it was too emotional. I mean the whole blogspot was too emotional so I deleted everything. And now, I am about to write a blog talking about the same guy as when I wrote the first one.

The thought of just writing about him again makes me wonder how deeply I am in love with this person. I'm aware that I don't believe in love at my age but I think I am in love; the more that I deny it. A lot of people had asked advice from me about how their relationship is gonna be and things like that. In some quotations, they say that people who advice can't actually advice themselves. That's true, 'cause advising that not literally mean that they decide for the person but they somehow change the perspective of the person.

It still depends on the person if he or she will choose to follow what is advised to her or not. With me, I ask for advice just to remind me what is the right decision to make. For others, they really take it seriously and may end up blaming the person you've asked help from, which is bad. So, in the end when I actually advice to other people, I tell them it's still their decision if they want to follow what I told them but I also reason out why they have to follow what I'm thinking.

Recently, a lot of my friends have vented/ranted about guys they just knew. I don't know why but when I tell to do this and that, they ask why and I act so conceited. (HAHA) I just have this heavy feeling that they have to follow me. For the past years, my vibes in some things were never wrong. Gladly speaking. So yeah, maybe that's the reason I'm confident enough to tell them what I'm feeling.

For all the readers out there... treat this as the core of what you believe.

It's your own interpretation that will help you decide.

Pinoy Henyo

Here in the Philippines, GMA network has popularized the game "Pinoy Henyo." This game is performed by numerous number of teams composed of two people. One teammate would guess the word placed on their forehead and the other would answer yes, maybe or no questions from the guesser.

In a usual setting of a party in the Philippines, no matter how insignificant the occasion may be, "Pinoy Henyo", I may say, is the most thought game. I have observed that even games in apple products or games in phones have Pinoy Henyo also. I just found out that Pinoy Henyo is claimed as "pambansang laro ng bayan" (National Game of the Philippines) since it is occasionally played in family gatherings, acquaintance knowing, friendly parties and whole lot more.

I have recently watched a Saturday segment of Eat Bulaga wherein they have arranged a finals game of Pinoy Henyo already. The people playing for the finals are grade 6 students from different schools in the Philippines. They call this finals as "Junior Pinoy Henyo Final Exam." Weirdly speaking, I think they don't have to put the word junior, I mean I watched that segment and I wouldn't guess the words correctly and for your information, I'm 16 already. Touche. 

There were four teams:

Winner of the "Junior Pinoy Henyo Final Exam," Yanna Cosme and Aubrey Ambrosio from Paco Catholic School.

Seriously they actually got 8 out of the 10 words and answered those for less than the time they were given. It's as if they were twin sisters that reads their own minds. If I were those players I'll just consistently stutter and wouldn't even answer one of the words. The words given to all players were so hard. Just me thinking of it makes me crazy. But anyway in the end they held the title of Junior Pinoy Henyo; tears and joy all over.

Even though they lost and I think came in second, I'm still amazed that they are twins and they are holding the title of the fastest guessers within 6.15 seconds they've guessed the word Langka immediately. It's a hard word I may say. When I hear fruits I'd think of Apple and not Langka. HAHA. Cheers to this handsome twin!
