One Long Break!

This past weeks turned out to be a really long study break for me made possible by the annual celebration of our department, Department of Biology, as well as the little gathering I've had with my long time friends and detox party with my schoolmates.

As you may see, I was very much out of sync with the blogopshere. Practice hours for Biogyugan (a competition among Biology students) and Biorhythm (Department Choir / My Org) were demanding! The theme for BIOgyugan 2011 was "The Forest: Our Last Stand Against Climate Change".

We won 1st runner-up! All thanks to Him! :D It was definitely a big deal for us batch because the past 2 years of our Biogyugan experience were better off forgotten. This year's performance was exceptional. It was a well-planned production by us, Juniors in my opinion. I played the role of an evil Jane (That girl in yellow top and violet skirt amidst the deers of Pocahontas, dwarves of Snow White, Lady Gaga and Ariel in labgown for the moment! :D ) who would eventually ruin the forest.  We even had Dora, Boots, Doraemon, PPG, etc. in our show. Oh just remembering that day makes me laugh! One memorable Biogyugan performance it is! ^^~

On another note, we had dinner at Karen's place before her departure off to Seoul a couple of days ago. I've been friends with these three since birth. Yep, 19 years and counting of friendship! Whenever I look at our pictures and how well we've grown since our meeting... it just makes me high in spirit! Awesome friends!  XD We're now in college but whenever we get-together, it just feels like going back to our childish self. :D

Lastly, detox party with the gang aka Monique's debut! I was out searching for night make-ups then stumbled upon a couple of videblogs made by a friend and co-blogger, Rhea. I tried one of her looks in Youtube, and I liked the result!

Outfit is from Forever 21. Heels from Gibi. I was part of the 18 songs, so I sang Count on Me by Whitney Houston.  :D

Last pic for my update today! I was with a bunch of Sophomores during that night with Miguel (Junior) and Vap (Senior too. To sum it all up, I felt detoxed after! Nothing beats partying with stressed students like us, as they say! :D LOL!

Carefree Sunday

This is yet the most relaxing weekend of my entire third year college life probably because I have no exams to worry about for the coming week. My carefree attitude is also a factor here though, since I really had enough of the stress lately that all I wanna do is just be "rebellious" for the moment and JUST BE AWAY from all these stress-inducing activites AKA Acads. Who's with me? :cool:

So I had Mcdonald's for breakfast! :D My parents often go to Mcdo on weekends. When I was in high school, we usually go out every morning just to eat our fave breakfast meals from Mcdo! Now that I'm in college, I prefer to sleep rather than get up early for breakfast, so they usually bring home my fave Sausage McMuffin with Egg and fries!  Then we headed to Church for Mass.... I bought this beautiful rosary-bracelet personally made by the priest awhile ago. I'm very much into these bracelets. They are really purdy and I feel like I'm always protected when I have tangible stuff like this with me.

Here's my attempt to look like a weirdo doing the kitten's paw pose! I'm wearing the bracelet! ^^~

Ala-Siete y Media

Kung mapapansin niyo, di ako mag-iingles ngayon; Feel ko lang kasi talaga mag-Filipino. Parang ayaw ko muna mag-isip ng kung papaano ko isasummarize ang pinakaimportanteng mga kaganapan sa buhay ko gamit ang wikang Ingles. Ano naman ang kwento ng blog title ko? Ayun, "7:30 o Ala-Siete y Media" -- pinakasignificant na oras ngayong araw na'to -- day and night time!

7:30 AM. Late ako ng 30 minutes sa 7AM class ko kanina, sayang tuloy yung additional 2 points for our 1st exam na binigay ng prof namin sa Ecolab. Oh well, that's life! Masaya narin ako since napasa at qualified pa akong maexempt for finals sa subject na yun, as of now. xD So ano na ba pinagkaabalahan ko ngayon? SAME OLD SAME OLD ang sagot ko diyan! Acads pa rin ang nagbibigay kulay sa mundo ko. Third year na ako ngayon, at mas feel ko na ang pagiging BS Biology Major ko. More on papers kami lately -- scientific reports, oral reports, atbp. :D Ang saya-saya. Minsan. :))

Syempre, di magpapatalo ang laki ng eye-bags ko sa dami ng gawain ko bilang estudyante. Mapapa-"grabe only!" ka talaga sa dami! Buti nalang may twitter na pwede kong paglabasan ng stress. :D Di lang 'yan, meron din akong mga pinapanood na Asian Dramas para madivert ang atensyon ko paminsan-minsan. Just to keep me sane! Heartstrings (Kdrama) at Sunao ni Narenakute (Jdorama) ang recent na nasa dramalist ko! Okay silang dalawa. Yung former, typical romance-comedy. Fave ko ang chemistry nila Shin Hye at Yong Hwa kaya approve sa akin ang Kdrama na 'yan! Yung latter naman, kasisimula ko palang panoorin yan. Friendship made through Twitter naman ang concept nila. :D

7:30 PM. Pauwi na ako ng bahay nang umulan ng malakas! at napansin ko lang, di ko masyado mahal ang kulay pink at violet. xD Purple bag, key strap, umbrella. Pati suot ko purple. Tapos yung interior lining ng bag ko ay pink. Pink din most ng cases na makikita sa bag ko -- pencil case, kikay kit, wallet, at dalawang de-zipper na lalagyan (1-pang LRT/MRT cards at 2- lalagyan ng earphones atbp. na pkailangan ma-isolate sa iba kong gamit). AKO NA. Oo, ako na talaga. :))

Bago pala ako umuwi, nanood pa kami ng Babae sa Septic Tank starring Eugene Domingo. Sa cinemas na namin siya napanood, so madaming cut scenes. Sayang, 170 php bayad namin, pero parang di worth it dahil di naman buo yung napanood namin. Naubusan kasi kami ng tickets sa CCP at UPD for Cinemalaya Movies a couple of weeks ago.  :)

So ayun, 7:30 AM at 7:30 PM, naisip ko lang siya pagkadating ko ng bahay. Ano kaya meron kung bakit ang "significant" ng 7:30 sa araw na'to? Baka nung past life ko, importante din ang mga oras na yan. HAHA (Okay, ang gulo ko na. Sabaw)
