Cherry To My Sundae (Plus Extra Marshmallows)

Expect the unexpected. True enough, that day after I bowed in front of everyone during my graduation, I got the job I applied for. It was truly unexpected. Who would really believe that I got a job after I got off the stage? I do not know which one made me happier that day--graduating or receiving a call telling me that I got the position I applied for. What I knew was I am happy. I know I made my parents happy too when I told them about the good news--and the extra good news. Who wouldn't be happy eating a sundae with extra toppings on it? ;)

I considered getting hired as an achievement, because it meant I mean something to someone. In this case, I meant something to the company. They might have seen something in me that I didn't see. It might be a hidden potential that is just waiting to be tapped. I am a self-concious person and most of the time, insecurities get me. Like monsters underneath my bed, these were what keeps me hold back when it comes to pursuing something. I feel like at the end of the day, I won't get what I want. My plans won't workout the way I thought it should be. Maybe, I settled to be just an average person wherein as a matter of fact, there are tons of chances that I could have been a better person. Now that I have a job, I feel better about myself. I can finally say "I can do it" and live every single word of that phrase.

My parents, as always, were my inspiration in whatever I do. I always try to remember their sacrifices for me whenever I am on the verge of giving up.I am happy that I was able to fulfill their dreams for me--to graduate in college and get a good job.

It is now time to pay back to my parents who inspired me to do good in my craft. More than financial support, I give my parents the idea that I am now starting to continue their work on building my future. The time has come to finally let me handle the baton, just like in a sprint relay, and continue running the race while I let them sit back and relax. It is nice to see the look of contentment from my parents--a look that tells me they have finally fulfilled their mission as their parents.

I am now enjoying my job and I can say that being hired is more than just receiving a payslip every month. I could never ask for more.

IM TAGGING: everyone!

hell week

well, the so-called hellweek is here once again. though this term's not that too busy for me (thanks to my profs who didn't gave too many projects), the thought of having tons of quizzes in a week plus a lab report definitely makes me soooo tired.

enough of that. haha. on the contrary,

i've been addicted nowadays on watching DVDs! special thanks to my super friend, Abby, na sobrang daming alam na mga Taiwanese/ Koreanovelas na dvds. i first finished the Taiwanese version of HANAKIMI. the story was fantastic. it made me fall in love again. it was a good combination of comedy and romance, and everything. wah. plus, i super love the guy! WU CHUN! wah. haha. and now, i'm currently watching ROMANTIC PRINCESS. :) pero nanonood lang naman ako pag may time. haha. schoolworks first!

don't you find today's issues soooo annoying?? rallies are everywhere, and even those who were not involved were affected. andaming taong nakikisawsaw, mga nagpapapapel, nagpapapansin. ay ewan, whenever i think anout these stuffs, it makes me really mad and annoyed. why do people waste their time lurking about other people's negative sides? so absurd. they should've thought of better ways to improve our country than waste their time sa panggagatong.

due to this, i'm not watching the NEWS anymore. pare-pareho kasi mga binabalita, nakakasuka. problems are here and there. waah, it just makes my mood so bad. hahaha. dvd na lang pinapanood ko. at least, sumasaya ako.

it's not that i'm taking sides, or wala lang akong pakialam sa mga nangyayari, nakakasawa lang na puro negative yung naririnig mo. what we really need is to have that POSITIVE VIBE.

at kapag naririnig ko yung mga kung anu-anong ka-ewanan na yan, it makes me think na i want to graduate na, and pack my bags and fly to another country to work, or probably live there. but my heart still belongs to this beloved country of ours. :) maybe i was just too impulsive. hahaha.

i'm so excited for our org's upcoming Induction! we'll be at Batangas on March 17-19..weee. beach!!! i just love beach! :D

back again.

it's been awhile since i left an entry here. just got busy kasi sa school. school school school. always school.

so what happened to me for the past 3 weeks? well, so many should i say.

anyway, 3 academic weeks na lang and we're free at last! free from stress and lack of sleep. yahoo! and what makes it more exciting is my HSM friends are planning to go ice skating after our finals week. isn't that exciting? what a way to celebrate freedom. haha.

too much for thinking ahead. hehe. let's get down to business.

for the past weeks, i've been suffering from low and bad grades in my exams. i don't know why. the good thing is, when i received my quiz booklet in my Discrete Mathematics exam, I got 114/150! thank heavens, i passed the exam. though it was a bit easy, i was careless because my logic gates were wrong! stupid me. haha. buti nalng, my answers were considered by ma'am, kahit na yung logic gates lang yung minali niya. i lost 10 points because of carelessness. tsk tsk. another good thing is, since all of us in our group passed the exam, we'll be having 15 plus points! yahoo.

so far so good..

physics 2 lec??? ewan. ang hirap kasi magpa-exam ni sir. sana lumambot puso ni sir. haha. pero sa remaining 2 exams sa kanya, kelangan ko ipakita na deserving ako mag physics 3 next term!!! nako.

what stresses me the most this week is our english project/finals! we'll be having a corporate meeting..and it's due on saturday na! we're not done yet in finalizing our agendas, etc. grrr. probably on thursday, we'll start shooting for our 30-minute video..too bad, it's our supposed-to-be "free day" as mapuans. may activity kasi, i don't know why some profs would still have their classes (and that includes us, i'll be having a 4:30-6:00 make-up class for DE on that day..duh, may concert kaya!). i just hope everything will be alright. :D

God bless everyone!

one voice.

hindi yan patay na kuko.

today is the Brgy. and SK elections, that's why classes were suspended today. do people know how important this day is? maybe we just take it for granted, but hey, today is the day when we choose the "right" and "deserving" people to take the responsibility of leading our community. now, if you haven't voted yet and you're registered, better vote now.

do you know how important your vote is? it might change our stereotyped lives. the indelible ink is not just a thing that could ruin your newly polished digits, but it shows that the future is in our hands.


yesterday, our org had our general assembly. it was such a nice experience. as a part of the newly inducted members, i'm so glad that i enjoyed the company of my orgmates. they're like a family to me. :) these are the people who will always be close to my heart. :) i enjoyed the concentration game, memory game and the charade. :D. fun.fun.fun!


while i was on my way to school yesterday, i was seating beside this little kid with his mother. along the coastal road, wherein we can see lots of airplanes passing by (because it's near the airport), my attention was caught by this kid when he saw an airplane passed by above our bus. he was just so amazed because i can see it in his eyes. i just realized that just like this kid, we should appreciate things around us, especially the simplest ones. we can be happy even if we don't own the latest cellphone. :) maybe we were just caught up by the technology craze, but hey, life is still better when everything is simple. let's stop complicating life. relax and breath. let go and be happy. :)

can you already smell the Christmas season? it's just around the corner! yahoo. it has been always my favorite season of the year. :) merry christmas! :) hohoho.

what a week!

hey, it's just the fourth week of our term, yet i can already feel the pressure in my academics. i already had tons of to do last week. i am so tired. haha. :) super hectic.

anyway, just wanna share this. last thursday, i made 2 lab reports in my physics laboratory class. it was due the next day. since wala akong time nung week na yun para gawin siya in advance, no choice ako kundi pagpuyatan ang paggawa ng 2 lab report. natapos ako 4 am ng umaga, to think na 730-430 ung class ko nung araw na yun. in short, 1 hour lng tulog ko. haha. ang hirap pala pumasok sa school pag sleep deprived ka. wala kang maintindihan. hehe. ayoko na ulit maulit yun! suicidal. haha

i already proved that 24 hours is not enough for me. haha!

thank God i have three days of rest this week..yahoo. :)

i'll be in school tomorrow. hsm ga. :D

the lakehouse: the second time around

i watched The Lakehouse the second time around kanina. i already watched it last sunday, tapos nagulat ako kasi palabas ulit siya kanina sa hbo. i was actually waiting dun sa cinemax kasi ipapalabas yung Apollo 13, then pag surf ko ng channel, nakita ko na 20 minutes na lang at ipapalabas na ang Lakehouse. mas naintindihan ko yung movie ngayon unlike last sunday. :D maganda pa rin!
