a summer recap.

currently listening to:I Will Remember You/Sarah McLachlan.

today is the last day of summer.

i'm not usually so sentimental about the end of vacation, but for some reason, this summer was more than just a few weeks off from school. it was... amazing.

except for my beloved blockmates (who just live sooooo far away!!!), i can say that it was the summer of being with the people who matter the most to me. it's been a summer of peace and quiet (and drinks and poker)... with the people I love most. it was a summer of strengthening bonds and making new ones.

i didn't get to go on as many out-of-town trips as most people probably did, but i did get to go to 3 kick-ass weekend trips with 3 kick-ass groups of people...

The tracksters/a veneto groupies/nettrekker addicts to Zambales (and a day trip to Mushroomburger!), Green & White to Tanay (and lots and lots of overnighters at Cover!), and the GingGangGooliGang to Galera.

yes, i was in school all summer, but i walked the hallways seeing only familiar faces--people who have grown immensely on me--people who i cannot imagine my summer without. a lot of my friends couldn't understand what was with me and my going to school or to the printing press. yes, i was cooped up in SPS 503b all day--and I loved every minute of the people I was with and the work that I had to do.

i dread going to school tomorrow and not finding it as homey as it was over the summer. students milling around like ants, unfamiliar faces walking to their next class... no longer will I have the corridor (or bathroom mirror!) to myself. i will no longer get the pleasure of going to mcdonald's (or any establishment on taft ave.) without having to line up for more than 3 minutes. i can no longer sing at the top of my lungs with only one or two people hearing me (these two people would be my friends, please take note).

=( =( =(

i know, i know, mushy mushy mushy. you're probably wondering why i'm being so mushy over my summer--i mean it couldnt have been that great could it?

the weird thing is... it was.

we all need to get away from our responsibilities--even for just a little while.

no matter how much i'm loving my currently unbelievably frantic, hair-losing, and time-consuming Green&White-filled summer, it was great to get away from 2401 Taft Avenue for 3 days.

far, far away.

thank God for Mindoro. (and Mindoro Sling). and the Ging Gang Gooli Gang.

better.

currently listening to:Jason Mraz.

a "yes or no" question seems too simple to actually be simple. either answer is an extremely short word, composed of just 2 or 3 letters. but the consequences of either answer are humongous. life-changing.

all i can do is pray that i make the right choice.. because i can't take any more earth-shattering decisions. the world is shattered enough as it is.

-----------------------------

"better" by jason mraz.

it's something like i apologize
it's something i still can't decide
but i know it gets better
it only gets better

and i want to say that it's not always easy
but it's simple that way
and i want to stay and play it out
but i still have my doubts
so you say it gets better
it only gets better
better this way
better, maybe it's better this way

beautiful things they never stay, oh, the same way
they pass, oh they pass away, they always change
who are we is who we are
when the act of love can get us so far
so good i wish you would
think twice on me
cuz it only gets better

it only gets better
better this way
better, maybe it's better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
just give it some time, maybe it's better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
just give it some time, maybe it's better this way

so better
it's better this way
baby, it's better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe
it's better, oh, this way
promise me you'll always be better
better

barkada birthday.

currently listening to:You've Lost That Loving Feeling/Righteous Brothers.

this past weekend was spent with a group of people (most of them, anyway) who have been in my life for the past 10 years.

two of my greatest friends in the world are migrating to far away places, and although i force myself not to think about that yet, i can't help it, especially since i've seen them 4 times in the past 5 days because the dates on their boarding passes get closer and closer and closer.

anyway. next time na yung senti na post. wala pa namang umaalis.

it was chesca and kenelm's birthday last may 5. although we had dinner out in makati that thursday, we threw chesca and kenelm a 'surprise' party on may 6.

this is us blowing the candles on "our" birthday cake... which just happens to be a loaf of banana bread. hehehe. kenneth kasi, hindi dumating, wala tuloy kaming matino na birthday cake.

shempre, feeling naman namin birthday naming lahat! happy birthday to all of us! whoopee!!! =)
