It doesn't fade away

It's always great to hang out with long time friends once in a while. I get to be really busy when school starts to roll! You see, most of them study at the same university, so they get to hang out or eat lunch together. But in my case, I only get to be connected with them, well most of the time, through facebook or twitter and be more connected to my college circle during school months.

Don't get me wrong; I don't have any grudges on any of my friends now in college! :D  I just tend to miss the old times. FYI, most of my high school friends were also my kinder-to-gradeschool classmates, so I have lived my childhood and adolescent years with them. It was pretty hard to be away from them after high school, but then again life must go on! So, I had no choice but to adjust. :]

The girls of the gang!

Gladly, some of my high school friends and I were able to enjoy a day full of laughter and craziness in TriNoma-MoA-SM North Edsa. Yes, that was one loaded day! :D The girls and I ate lunch at TriNoma and waited for the four men (who had their basketball practice somewhere) to arrive. It was great catching up with them! The moment we talked, it was full blast! :)) I can't really narrate everything in here, but summing it all up, it was one heck of a conversation -- no dead air! Everything's just in-sync with one another; Just like the old times.

We watched Paranormal Activity 3 at 4:15PM. The whole movie was effin' crazy! We almost died in our seats LOL. Afterwhich, we strolled around the mall and went near Manila Bay, took pictures and had more stuff to talk about! Who can forget to take 'pictorials'! :)) Here are a couple of pictures. From L-R: Andrea, Tin, Me, Joan, Fae

We were lucky enough to see some fireworks too!



All 11 of us (some are not in the pictures) had an FX ride back home and had dinner at Tokyo Tokyo, SM Annex.

...and so I say, cherish those who are dear to you with all your heart

2nd Sem Sched

WARNING: Crazy stuff ahead

Here's my schedule next semester! :) All subjects except for one,which is NatSci4, are major subjects. I am really hoping that I get to be more serious with my studies this time. I often think of the future and all the responsibilities which lie ahead of me. I always say to myself that I'll do better next time, but there are really those times that I just want to "rebel" out of stress and not study for one day and do all things to relax my mind and body, thereby, making me quite easy-go-lucky for the rest of the sem.

I hope and pray to learn how to manage my time wisely this time. I know that the road I am taking, like everybody else, is difficult to surpass. There a lots of challenges, yet I have to be optimistic, stay strong, believe in my capabilities and keep my faith to God. I want to become a doctor. I must have the drive to achieve this. So help me God.  :]

Pardon me for the silly design of my schedule! XD The one on the right is Tegoshi Yuya, and I'm on the left side. LOLS! Fine fine, You can say I'm addicted or obsessed or whatever, HAHA, but I really admire this guy coz of his talents. He can be more beautiful than me if he were a girl, damn! :)) Plus, can you believe that I had this really crazy moment wherein I actually cried while watching the music video of NEWS entitled "Aki no Sora"? Yes, my dear readers, it was weird for the fact that while crying I actually had a burst of emotions as if I missed him and all. Being a pastlife believer, I suddenly thought that MAYBE we knew each other during one of my past lives. HAHA OKAY, I don't want to let you read more of my craziness. :)) So yea, I don't know, maybe stress has brought me up to this point! LMAO. XD

PS: I'll be seeing my highschool friends later! :D *next entry, that is!*

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!

Before The New Schoolyear Begins

We had a little gathering in our favorite "reunion spot" -- Yellowcab, Visayas Avenue. That branch is more on delivery so only a few customers would go there to dine in, and more often than not we are the ones who occupy most of the tables on the second floor! :) (Except for that day coz they won't turn on the 2nd floor's airconditioner, LOL!) So we had the typical HHB (Hati-hati sa Bill), and ate 18" of New York's Finest and pasta.

We were there from 3PM to 8PM  eating, chatting, catching up with one another's lives and all that. We've been classsmates/friends in grade or high school in MMSQC so we get to be really bonded all the time during our stay in our Alma Mater. :) Everything changed in college; nevertheless, we see to it that we can still contact one another even in the midst of college stress! :D Here's a couple of pictures. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take a picture of us being all together! :) Not all of our HS friends were able to come though.

Kennen gave us (Meg, Mae, Dawn and I) a ride home, but then Kennen had this urge to treat us at Starbucks, so we decided to stop over for frappe! :) Thanks to him coz he paid our bills. How generous can this guy get, eh? XD Thanks for that treat, Kennen! Lols. We talked about love and advices, and the usual cheesy stuff! HAHA It was really a cute chat. Nothing beats high school friends' conversations, IMO. :)

At the end of the day, I went home with a smile. I don't usually come with them when there are gatherings in between months of a school year, that's why I definitely came in this gathering coz I'll surely be busy for Junior Year in college. I miss being in high school, for real! :)
