The Point Is...

When you learn things, I believe that you should not just keep them in your memory. Because when you just keep them in your memory, it's called memorization. It sucks. Most of what you memorize just fade away in time. That's why you should act upon it. Keep them in your mind and better yet, in your heart. When you REALLY learn something, you apply them in your life. 

So, what's my point?

I learned something really important today. 

When you make mistake, accept it. But also consider how you feel  about it. If you felt bad about it, then cry. There's nothing wrong about it. If you feel like crying, you just can't stop it. Feelings just are. 

Earlier, I was late for our rehearsal and I was punished just like how they punish other tardy people. I felt bad. But I didn't choose to feel that way. I just did. I cried and did not care about how they feel about it. It's my own emotion and I am not responsible for how they're gonna react towards it. 

This is a free country. You can cry if you just need to. You can laugh if you want to. I love my classmates and I understand why they did that. And I want to make it clear that even if I broke down, I accepted that I was wrong and LEARNED from my fault.

Library Seminar

TADAA!

I'm currently here in the awesome main library of our dear school, JRU (Jose Rizal University).

Believe me, it feels different here in the Main Library compared to the atmosphere outside it. It's not a bad thing, though. It's actually a positive thing because I've never been here before. :)

The speaker is talking about the ProQuest (a researching service offered here in our school)

So, this is gonna be a short post. I need to go. We're doing hands-on stuff! ;)

The Much Awaited Rainbow

Do you remember how I told you about being 'down' on my last post? I'm so thankful that it all came to end just the day after that. 

October 9, 2012

It was Vianca Patricia Magat Divino's Birthday. We totally enjoyed eating at Jollibee Kalentong and singing our heart out in the karaoke of Marketplace. That made me so happy.

I know that we look kinda haggard in this picture, but that's the best part. We were so happy that we didn't even care about how we looked anymore.

Marian Charity Santillan Nayan! We went to SM Hypermarket Mandaluyong and we enjoyed quite a lot of laughs together with our Zagu's and a bunch of chips, celebrating her birthday. 2nd consecutive day that I felt elated.

We were classmates since were in 2nd Grade and we really have gotten close, closer than you can imagine. 

This was a photo taken on the 18th of June, this year. We goofed off a jump shot.

October 15, 2012

Trust me, October made me fat(ter). After class, we immediately rode the jeepney, rushed into their house and ATE and ATE and ATE. We sang a few songs off their karaoke and ATE more food. Munch here, chew there, bite here, gnaw there, that was just MOSTLY what we did. We also shared stories and took a couple and pictures and went straight home.

I'm like his closest 'guy' friend and she trusts me a lot. I trust her, too, and I see nothing negative about that part.

This was taken at KFC Kalentong last September 28. 

October 19, 2012

Happy, elated, ecstatic, joyful, blissful, ETC. Whatever you call it, it sure felt good. 

This was taken earlier when we were having our 2nd Fridate. (Actually, the first one was a Thurdate but who cares, right?)
I am just so thankful tha

t I just had one of the BEST SCHOOLDAY I've ever had.

It's all thanks to our adviser/nanay, Ms. Leila L. Roxas 'The Great' and especially to my classmates. GO 3E!

After this, we are all gonna be busy again. Playfest, Project in Math, Project in Filipino, Project in English, SSG Rap Contest, Auditions for Legally Blonde, Project in Chemistry, ETC. God bless 3-E, 4-A :">, and others! Always be happy!

Bored or Wasted?

I don't know, I'm just feeling kind of down today. 

I was bummed out this morning finding something to wear for the 'Opening Ceremony of the High School Intramurals 2012', since I was the host. The polo was loose and I needed to fold the sleeves to make it look decent. 

Then, before our second period, I was alone and I felt like nobody wanted to talk to me. So, I stayed in one corner and pretended that I was asleep. Some of my classmates noticed and they asked about how I feel but I didn't answer. Why would I? When I feel like they're really not interested [in how I feel] and just wanted to show others that they care, I wouldn't waste my time talking to them. I just hate hypocrisy, I just really do.

When the program started, I tried my best to keep my energy up despite the heat in the venue. And when it ended, none of my classmates even waited for me. They all went outside already. Wow, right?

Then, I went to SM Hypermarket near JRU. I was glad that some of my classmates were there. We shared laughs. We shared stories. They were forcing me to tell why I was kind of sad that time. [It's because of H] First, I was really hesitant because I wasn't sure if they would really like to hear it and I wouldn't want to waste my time to people who care. I gave up and told them the first part, then they started talking about something totally unrelated to my story. Wow. Just as I thought. 

I never want to expect something from my friends. But I guess I never fail to do so. It's either I need to change that or I need to find (a) better friend/s who would listen to me sincerely. 

What do you think?

March 16, 2012. ♥

It's hard. I can really tell.

It's hard to pretend not liking someone anymore, right? Have you ever had the same strange, heavy feeling in your tummy. It sucks not having that person to know you care for them and you can't do a freaking thing about it because you're scared as if you're on the edge of a building, one wrong move and your'e dead. 

I really want to show up to your face and say, "You know? I still like you!", not caring if you're gonna laugh at me, or if you're going to get embarrassed. But I'm here thinking to myself, "We're never gonna be more than this. Ever." Call me Mr. Negative but sometimes it feels like that is just we're ever gonna be, seriously. I'm trying my hardest to be optimistic but it feels like I'm making myself stupid for waiting and expecting. 

You know what I feel now? I don't care about whatever. If I love what I'm doing, or who I am doing it for, it's never a waste and I am never gonna regret it. 

I'm young. There is always room for mistakes. I hope you feel the same way, too. 

And yes, dear, I want you to give a SHIT about this.

Can You Relate? (One-Sided Love)

                Unrequited love means loving someone who doesn't love you back. It’s obviously not give and take, thus, the feelings are not mutual. This is very common among people, especially those who are desperate and those who are called ‘hopeless romantic’. However, unrequited love can be very risky. It is either making your beloved as an inspiration but it can also turn into an obsession and bring serious, psychological problems to the admirer.

                Obsession is clearly negative when talking about unrequited love. It is, because being obsessed is like being desperate. When you give all of yourself to someone who can’t give you back what you want,  you may obtain low self-esteem, anxiety and, if worse comes to worst, depression, especially if the admirer is not able to express his feelings. Unrequited lovers are, more likely, afraid to be embarrassed. They refrain from being rejected. But they, unintentionally, expect something in return from their beloved, thus, making them suffer more. Some say that one-sided love is better than none, but like half a loaf of bread, it will probably go hard and moldy sooner. It means that unrequited love is likely to fade faster than reciprocated love. On the other hand, making it as an inspiration is quite hard. You need to try your hardest not to anticipate feelings in return. You need to try not to assume things that rarely can happen. Unrequited love can happen anytime. Deal with it.

                There are certain things in life which can occur neither considering any occasion, night or day, tomorrow or the day after, nor any location, here or there, near or far. It also does not choose targets, thus, anyone can feel it. Man or woman, tall or short, gay or straight, they are all possible victims. I may have stated all the negative things about unrequited love but it is still love, the most wonderful feeling in the world. Nothing can change that.

Math/Stat Camp @ DLSU

Day 1 - July 14, 2012

Day 2 - September 22, 2012

I don't like to write about the Day 1 of the camp because it's all about the talking and lecturing which can most probably be a bore if you'd think about it as one.So, I'll proceed to Day 2. Hahaha.

After 10 weeks of waiting since the first day, we were finally able to continue the camp. Unlike Day 1, when the transportation was probably the most enjoyable part of it, Day 2 offered a more interactive day for us. There are MUCH more smiles and MUCH more laughter but there is DEFINITELY a lot more sweat. 

The Main Event was the Amazing Race. We had 10 groups, each containing members from different schools. I was in the Blue team. We had a lot of fun and we finished 4th (we tied in 3rd -_-). 

The event ended when the awarding of special prizes and certificates to the participants. 

I would like to note that the De La Salle University Manila was big (HUGE) and so welcoming. I hope I can join next year!
