officially, i had 37 days of freedom this sembreak, and 5 more to come since i won't be going back to UP until november 10. one would assume that i would have had a lot of outings and fun-filled days, but no. most of those 37 days were wasted in my room; just me and my bestfriend, tv.
it's not that i didn't want to go out. i did. of course, i did. i had so many gimmicks in mind, but, unfortunately, as the curse of my gimmick life goes, walang natuloy. it's not my fault. i did everything in my power to have things push through. i planned till my brain hurt and my thumbs numbed due to texting other people that i could drag along. then again, i could always make a perfect and fun-filled plan, but one word from my mom - a resounding "no" - would send my head crashing back down to earth. so, RAP, sorry if we weren't able to visit taft. sorry for having "no time" for simply dropping by. not being able to visit taft doesn't mean having no concern, because i'm sure you know i'm probably one of the most concerned and attached to sr. c. being a college student doesn't necessarily mean having my mom relinquish all power and (over)protection for me. sometimes it's unreasonable, i know, but there's only so much i can do. you should know that i did try everything. it just didn't work.
my sembreak wasn't a total waste. not having to do anything for a while was a refreshing change, and i was able to catch up on my sleep. plus, i did manage to hang out with some of my friends.
i also got all my grades for the first sem yesterday. i dunno... i know the grades i got are already good, but i actually expected something higher. particularly for math17. haha yabang eh. oh well. gotta be thankful for what i have.
nothing extra-special happened this past month. some of us sembreak peeps (up/ateneo sr. c) went to alabang country club for some swimming. it was fun and funny, sobrang nakakamiss. i miss the good ol' days.
i did manage to collect a few *toink* moments though:
*mae and i talking on the phone*
me: mae, why are you talking that way?
mae: eh, you knooow, bicos my block maaates, deyr english is so... ano... deyr english is so... basta!
*mae and i on the phone again, and i just told her about someone (secret lol) who kinda changed in college*
mae: what?! oh my... why is *toot* layk dat naman? i don't layk dat... our prends are turning into little devils...
*arlene and i on the phone (pero before sembreak pa 'to)*
arlene: how are you? are you fatter? thinner? just the same?
me: fatter!!! huhu...
arlene: huh? how did you know?
me: i can feeeeeeel it.
arlene: hindi ka ba nagw-weighing scale?
me: no.
arlene: why not?
me: baka malungkot lang ako...
arlene: you know, everytime i weigh myself on the weighing scale, i never get depressed. pag tumataas yung weight ko, i just say "I GOT TALLER!"
*fast forward to the part where arlene told me she ate all the chocolate and junk food in her condo*
me: *gasp* arlene?!
arlene: i'm taller... i'm taller...
ps: i got taller this sembreak, too...
*jeg and i doing our usual i'm-better-than-you-argument before their finals*
me: jeg, tama na aral!
jeg: tulungan mo na lang ako sa math.
me: ay... pang-genius math yan eh!
jeg: washuuu! di mo lang kaya!
me: no, no... it's just that i'm already on goddess math. so, if i do genius math, it's like i'm going back. your math is so chicken!
jeg: baka brain mo lang yun chicken... haha
me: no. i'm pretty sure it's your math.
ps: i was totally kidding. no way am i a math goddess. but jeg's math IS genius math.
*some sembreak peeps in town, waiting for paul to have the brackets of his braces fixed*
sam (dana's sister): ako nga one week ko pa pinapaayos pag natanggal brackets ko eh. arte naman ni kuya paul.
dana: one week?! kaya naman pala eh! may gamot na kasi si sam for...what's that? gingervitis.
migo: tutubuan daw ng luya si sam sa bibig.
*julian ysmael and i on ym (i wanted to see his house, and he told me to see his multiply)*
me: ang ganda ng bahay mo!!!
julian: huh?! eh ate hindi ka pa nakakapunta dito ah...
me: *toink* anu ka ba...
julian: anoooooooo
me: tinignan ko multiply mo...
i actually thought he was joking.
*some for sale signs that caught my attention*
FAMILY FOR SALE - P15 (flyers posted on lamp posts along molino. a few blocks ahead, may sari-sari store na nagtitinga ng Family size Coca-Cola for P15)
OWNER for sale (i got this from bea. this sign was posted on an owner-type jeep. then again, there was a man on the driver's seat so you wouldn't really be 100% sure kung alin yung for sale haha)
last week, i also went to town alone because my brother had a gimmick with his own set of friends. i just didn't want to stay at home. kyle said the juniors (meaning sila bea) are going to town also. i said no way will i be an extra in their little bunch. i ended up going with them anyway. lol. okay lang, it was fun. never felt so old with johann's college questions. and arlene said bea's "becoming a pia". i never noticed until last november 1 at the cemetery, when she and i would say the same thing at the same time. good for her. she's in for a lot of great things. lol.
i also read this from stella's blog. there was a time nung summer before (or after?) senior year where we were extremely active on yahoo! groups message boards. madi made a fanfiction kinda thing about the class, and this one is my favorite:
RHYTHM
Can you keep up? Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me Hard, make me lose my (Hah Hah)
People moved, grooved, danced, and shook their groove thing - all the while with smiles on their faces and their hands in the air.
There was no embarrassment or the slightest tinges of mortification; although, some of the dance moves were worthy blackmail material.
I shrieked in joy as one of the guys did a slide across the dance floor, only to get up and strike a pose.
I laughed loudly and freely as the boys executed the famous "Lose-My-Breath-shake-your-booty" step. The girls gamely stepped it up, matching them shake for shake.
I couldn't keep the smile off my face and looking around, I could see that no one could either.
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
I linked hands with several girl friends as we attempted to swing dance. We laughed as we collided heads and stepped on each other's toes. Trying it again only resulted in more injuries so we settled for waving our hands in the air and singing at the top of our lungs to the lyrics.
To my left, I could see several guys and girls doing successfully what we failed at and we cheered them on through their series of complicated steps, twirls and spins.
We decided to form a long conga line and as we snaked around the dance floor, acquiring more and more people and swaying our butts and arms to the music, I realized that this was one of the best moments of my life.
Losing myself to the rhythm - the rhythm of the music, of life, of happiness, and of this singular, spectacular moment.
Can't you see I'm happy now
that's basically sr. c on a normal class day. yes, we sang and danced like idiots like there's no tomorrow. one thing i hate about college is knowing that there will never be a "sr. c/jr. b moment" again. and the one thing i hate about sr. c is that we grew too close too late, knowing that there will never be a "sr. c/jr. b moment" again. wait, i take that back. there's absolutely nothing i hate about sr.c. and when our college lives began, here's what alex had to say: Hello y'all! How's the first day of the rest of your lives? First of all, congratulations to all of us! We finally made it! YeY! I have a proposal that might interest y'all... I propose that we create a new Y!Groups... not that I don't like this one *hehe*...It's just that I'm thinking long-term already... I want something permanent that we can always come back to, as long as the last one of us lives *tears*... syet yan. senti attack.
*sigh*
i don't want the sembreak to end. not even for allowance.
