the candles are lit.

september is just around the corner, and the celebration isn't about to end. happy birthday gals! =)

for real. =)

One time, i was online, and feeling depressed - not sure what to do to save ties with new friends I just met 4 months ago.

A friend from elementary PM-ed me. She asked if I was alright and if i needed anything. Upon reading those lines, I just broke down. And she listened, just like the good old days. Never mind the fact that we have rarely been in touch for 5 years.

**

It was the best feeling in the world - knowing that there's at least one person in this world whom I could call a true friend (especially if you are someone like me who long held the notion that i will never have any friends for real).

Make that a few persons.

Old and warm faces who were there to stop me from letting go of probably one of the best - if not the best - things that I will ever have. I regretted the fact that i took some of them for granted even after staying with me through tough times. I'm just glad that time gave me the opportunity to rekindle the ties we shared.

Add a number of new faces who saw through my numerous flaws and managed to bring out the best (and worst) in me like no one did. It was one heck of an emotional roller-coaster ride. I was fortunate enough to experience it with these guys.

The following day, i entered 307 - which was already full of energetic and eccentric characters - grinning; knowing that in time, some of them will have left their footprints in my lane, together with countless others who have made a difference in my life.

in the heat of it all.

found a comic strip of Calvin and Hobbes on writing. it reminded me how i miss writing - plus the two of them are really cute - so i changed the look of my blog.

my summer so far...

i managed to gain a few more pounds.
i managed to pay an occasional visit at my high school to work on the yearbook.
i managed to survive two weeks of math [3 more weeks to go. more migraines for me. just kidding.]
according to my prof, he saw my friendster profile [now, i wouldn't be surprised if he finds his way over here.]
i managed to attend a friend's party. [and will attend another one tomorrow]

happy 18th birthday cathy! [april 29] muntik ka na naming mabuko kagabi. aral muna ha? hehe. =p

fly high!

feeling a bit nostalgic this week. witnessed the commencement exercises of both grade and high schools of my former Alma Mater, Diliman Preparatory School (it is in not affiliated with UP and is not just a kinder school. haha). attended the elementary grad of my younger sister as her official photographer - who got told off by my former teachers because of a trivial thing like going in front of the stage to get a photo of his mom and my sister. attended the high school grad to congratulate my friends + former schoolmates. in both instances, i was with high school classmates and friends + i felt like i wanted to experience graduating all over again + i got irked at the opportunist individual hogging the mike and stealing the graduates' moment.

welcome to the real world, batch 2007!
