"Tambayan Para sa Lahat"

Im sitting now at a tambayan beside the tennis court, with CJ, Nil and Pat talking, laughing and bickering about school and stuff. :)

Wala lang. It is my first time to surf the web via WiFi connection (no, you're not getting it all wrong, the date is really January 23, 2008) Haha, finally. :)

My first first-cousin on my mommy's side said hello to the world two hours ago. :) Very excited to see all 7.5 pounds of him later, hehe. :)

Biochem yesterday was a little boring so Cedes was able to enjoy a short nap during the discussion. Written on the top of a page of her open notebook was
STS Movie
STS Report
Biochem Exam
He won't give you anything you can't handle.

I needed this reminder, not because of school but because of.. things. I really do, and I believe my family does too. :)

Mas mahal ko siya kung laptop siya. Haha. :)

I promised days ago I would reward myself a slice of blueberry cheesecake after five long exams. But even before I finish them all, I was able to eat a slice today. It was worth it, yun nga lang not because of the stress and sacrifices, but because of the four weeks survived despite the distance. :)

And it felt better, no, it felt absolutely wonderful, to have someone to share it with. :)

Unending

Talks of forever are risky. The more you engage in them, the greater faith and hope you build up on something that is uncertain. The belief suddenly becomes your prime animator; you presently act based on this conviction. And once forever reaches its end, you'll be left tangled and lacking.

But still, people find relief in trusting that good matters may last forever. They choose, they decide, they sign, they promise: despite the fact that things may change and 'forevers' do end. Feasibly, it is because thoughts of unending occurences are often comforting. A lifetime vocation gives people a sense of purpose; continuous connections keep people steady; undying love is regarded as a gift. They make people feel whole, content and accomplished.

Perhaps, it is this feeling of happiness that drives people to take risks. It is this yearning for happiness that pushes people to believe in forever.

Tricia

UPCAT results came out today. Fortunately, my younger sister made it to the long list. (yay! ;) ) I'm secretly wishing she'll also be included in the list of a hundred qualified for Imed while my ate is not-so-secretly wishing she won't be. (agawan na ng campusmate ito)

I think it would be great to have a younger sister going through the same path I am going through. Possibly everytime she shares something, I would immediately share how I dealt with the same situation 2 years ago. It would be cool to compare professors, to have a cramming-partner in the middle of the night, to talk about the things (amazing things) that med people could do, to be able to brag that whatever she's doing is soo last-last year for me (haha), and to whine nonstop while someone else understands the same feeling of hate towards excessive work. ;)

Contrariwise, I have this uncanny feeling that I should stop her from pursuing Imed, if ever she'll be qualified for it. There's just too much... everything. It takes a great deal of dedication and love for studying (yikes, haha) for you to JUST survive. Perhaps some could say that it depends on the person handling the situation, but nobody could deny that it is sometimes too exhausting, that it does take away too much time and that at times, it cuts connections.

Bakit ko ba pinroproblema to e wala pa ngang results, hehe.
Lay out all the cards - this is all I could really, and must, do at this point, if ever she'll be lucky slash damned enough to be accepted. ;)

Rough Start

First few days of 2008: toxic. Ha, what else do I, should I expect. CJ and I were talking a while ago and we found out that we were both glad that we bummed a lot during the Christmas break because our next full-length snoozing might just happen during the summer.
I am going to reward myself two slices of blueberry cheesecake after I go through five long exams. Swear to God, I will. ;)

I once thought that time equates love. On second thought, perhaps, love isn’t essentially the given time itself, but the willingness and the desire to share it. :)

One reason why I strive is for me to bear out that I have the right and the ability to keep the relationship. But then, I think I’m spending too much time in trying to prove that I can make it work…
…that I’m already, in a way, paying no heed to the thing that I’m trying to protect in the first place. :(
