Chisms... galore??
Current mood: Chisms update.. as if!
It's been eons since I've last touched the keys to say what's been up and about in my mundane life. Well, thanks to my cuzn, Pampy:), she's inspired me to write again. With her knack for blog designing, she made my page more interesting... to say the very least. [Pamps, thanks... you truly are the best! Kudos to you... hehe:) Extra! My sisters' comments: "my blogpage is like something done for a hallmark card... it looks too cheesy... - so what, mind ur own blogpage! Haha] -well, not anymore.. hehe.
At dahil matagal rin akong nawala... here's what I've been dying to share... mga "hip and happening" stuff for the past months??? Well, at least I find it hip and happening... basta! Note: events were jotted down in chronological order.. hehe.. OC-iness!!!
April 5-7... beachbreak with the xaijua goddesses:)
We've been planning for this ultimate bonding getaway. Well, the original plan was to go to Bora but we got short on cash... haaay. Bora na, naging bato p! What's important is that our plans have pushed through.. thanks, Dennise Amanda for making it happen.
We went to La Luz and stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. The place was nice! Serene, tranquil, peaceful, relaxing.. mala-spa and "reflection" resort siya. The kind wherein you'd go there to release yourself from all the stress - a complete opposite to Bora and Puerto Galera. To say the least, it's a semi-private resort so we weren't able to meet new people... so much for boy hunting... haha!!! Well.. at least nakapag-bond talaga kami... before we lead our own separate lives:(.
Funny thing was, too much noise wasn't allowed in the resort. That was something hard for us to do... hindi kc kmi namimili ng lugar... we are indeed a boisterous bunch. Well, it was a bit embarrassing because we got a complaint (indirectly though) of our being a "very happy bunch". Hehe.. ang labo... oh well.
We had a lot of activities lined up... mountain hiking, boating, kayaking, and what not... and we ended up doing none from the list. Sayang nga e. Well, so much for being "organized"... it was still fun because we've all decided to do stuff in the spur-of-the-moment.
We really had a grand time... hope we could do that again... when Dennise decides to go back to the Philippines. Oh well, I miss her by the way.
This trip was also the perfect opportunity for our North friends to visit the houses of the South ppl, well, that's me and April. They decided to have breakfast at my place on our day 1, then we went to April's for some snack... on our last day, the 7th was her birthday rin kasi.
April 15-16 (not so sure of the date)... "southern Luzon tour with familia Aguila"
trippin lang. Since it's summer and super init, the Aguila cuzns decided to go to the beach to cool down. Well, dahil spur-of-the-moment siya, super sabog yung plans. We ended up "booking" at a resort we didn't really like. Well, that's an understatement. Long story siya e and I wouldn't want to recount that HARROWING experience. To keep it short, it was dubbed a 'tour' because we've been driving for 8 hours... going from one place to another... San Juan-Laiya-Lipa-Batangas-San Pablo-Laguna. We should have gone to Baguio if we knew we'd take that long to decide where to say. Grabe.. sayang sa gas!!!
Oh well, masaya siya at first.. then we became bummed by the turn of events. The beach plan got mangled and we ended hanging out at a pool resort- overnight dapat but we decided to sleepover at our cousins' relatives. Nakakahiya nga e, but they were soooo accommodating. This "sleepover" became a bonding experience for the berx... masaya... card game na may consequence. Loser swigs a shot of Vodka... haha!!!! Okay na sana coz I was spared from the alcohol.. but then, naging taga-salo ako ni Boo, our 12 year-old cuzn. Oh well... it was steady coz I only drank a few. I never dreamt of getting wasted no!!!
In conclusion, (yuck... it sounded like a paper done for school), I would say that this simple bonding experience was just a start of the many we are now having... It's cool that we are so tight-knit, boys and girls alike... I love y'al... *hugs and kisses*
April 22 AND 24... Grad days
Well.. at UP Diliman, we have 2 graduation days.. the first one was our college grad and the latter was the real big event, the University Graduation:) which by the way housed about 4,000 graduates.
So there... there's nothing spiffy to share about these events. It's just a way of saying, another chapter of my life has ended... and the rest is still unwritten and waiting for me to conquer.
Wel, I'm just proud to say that our college valedictorian came from my barkada. Yep, it was Tanya Franco... whooppeee!!!! She truly deserves to be number 1!!!! I sounded like a big fan... well, Taning, I must say is our idol. She's not only booksmart but she's practical about life as well. I must say she's intelligent in all aspects, a very well-rounded person:) Plus, she's super nice and by that I mean, she's never said something bad to a person. hindi talaga siya laitera.. until now. Bsta, para siyang santa... santita??? Hence, her nickname, Taning, is an oxymoron.
And to add to the very long list of achievers, our barkada had conquered the top!! hehe.. feeling daw b!!! Tanya, Sandee, and Lois were part of the TOP 5 Grads:) While Rica, April, myself, and Pie graduated cum laudes... and our other blockmates were part of it as well! What can I say, the Xaijua goddesses do not only personify sheer beauty but embodies substance as well... we truly are off to change the world!!!:)
**Xaijua goddesses: Tans, Sands, Lois, Rica, April, Pie, Dennise, Apple, and myself:)
Well, I'm just soooo elated because my highschool girlfriends finished with flying colors as well:) Marez was magna cum laude and Jamie was cum laude... they truly made me proud!!! And all these are for God's glory... He really made things happen for all of us!!! Thank God I got to see these girls at the Univ grad!!!:)
It was also an honor that Mr. Ryan Cayabyab gave an inspirational speech to our graduating batch. I truly loved the song he sang with the orchestra. It moved me... and it made me love (love it even more!!!) the fact that I am from UP, the country's premiere university. Iskolar ako ng bayan... and that is something no one can take away from me.
Hehe. funny thought lang... kahit bulok ang facilities ng aming unibersidad, hindi pa rin mapapantayan ang mga produkto nito.. iba ang tatak UP... matatapang, matatalino, walang takot kahit kanino... may pagpupursigi na marating... kahit na malayo pang lupain:)
Well, I guess, I'm just being a little schmaltzy about the fact that I would't be walking through the halls of my alma mater... wel, not for now. I'm just grateful that I have come from such an institution. It has helped in molding my character. I have been strengthened by the life and dealings in UP... my four-year stay has been truly momentous. Maraming salama, Oble...
April 20-ish or was it May already??? Whappakan sessions...
I guess that didn't sound right. Labo!!! Well, before I begin, I would like to define this one term...
Whappak (n) a word coined by the berx aka familia Aguila which means "bonding sessions", which SOMETIMES involves alcoholic beverages (baileys, vodka, mudshake, booze, brandy) matched with chasers... shared by everyone. "Ang batang may amats... whappak!!!" (syn) cheap thrills, parteeeeys, sleepovers, spontaneous whatevers...
Now that the term has been defined, it's time for me to continue with the rest of the story.
Since we've been dying of boredom, we decided to throw a black and white party @ Lai's. Hehe... it's just one of the countless sleepovers we've had, but this one's different in a sense that we decided to dress up. Come in either white or black tops (and pangbahay shorts) and jazzed up our attire with funkey accessorie. Well, Kax and Ross were teasing about their attires... turns out, they had the funkiest get-ups. Well, kax had overdone it... feeling nasa Bora!!! And Ross had this artsy fartsy-slash-boho chick vibe... that ain't new being the girl from Fine Arts.
So there, we had a li'l barbecue cook-out, concocted our own pasta, had some booze, vodka, and mudshake blended Tok's style... which was by the way, a real treat!!!! It was yuuummmmy:)... had a lot of photo ops and danced till the break of dawn!!!
Well, there were some of us who truly got whacked!!! Whappak tlga... Gian was planning to sleep by the rocks ("Kasama ko si Oyie e.." are you sure that it was Oyie, you were with?? Haha. Spooky...) plus, he had some breaking (haha.. nagbasag!!!) spiels. Tok on the other hand had a little(?) pukefes and got Lai's sink clogged.. tsk tsk. The rest got released from their "inhibitions".. I never thought Lai could dance that way. Ross, Joylogs, and Mai were their usual wacky selves. And Kax, some cam-whore we have here... well, she's in about 75% of the photo ops we've had.
It was a swell night... which ended with a jampacked sleepover at Lai's bedroom... thank God her room was sooo big that it could house about 15 heads:)
This session was something truly worth-remembering... too bad Nuchi bailed on us. Well, I hope the next time we'd be more than complete.. with Kuya Goel, Homer, and Bri... oh and let's not forget, Kel.. Damn, I miss them...
May 2-13... Kids' workshop: Early Language and Reading for Young Kids
Instead of bumming around, I've decided to become productive and got a summer stint at a day care center in UP. Well, I thought I could get through those 2-weeks with a breeze.. boy, what was I thinking!!!
As a child development major, I have been exposed to different learning settings. I've done 2 practicums, but it was my first time to handle really young kids, and by that I mean, little ones with ages ranging from 2.5-3. Nakakaiyak!!! Well, that was an understatement, it was crazy!!! Crazy that I almost quit, if it weren't only for the contract I've signed.
I taught for 2 friggin weeks!!! Slept late every night due to preppin' of materials, commuted to UP and back (note that I live in Pque!!!), dealt with little menaces. hehe. Basta, it was sooo laborious... yep, that's the right word... laborious!!! I always wished that the 2 weeks would be over...
Well, even if the job didn't really have that of a nice impact on me. I pretty much think that this experience has spurred me. It felt good when the activities I've prepared were well-loved by the kids. I was touched when I heard a kid say, "it's fun kasi ng-eenjoy kmi sa activities!" I was proud that I'’ve instilled something on them. they have began to appreciate picture books and that they even had favorites.
I can say that I have done something meaningful. I have planted an interest to these young minds. Teaching is truly a noble job... it needs sacrifice, patience, understanding, endurance, and a real honest smile on the face to top all that.
As I was getting my first paycheck... in cashed (is there such a word? Oh wel) from the bank, I felt that every bead of sweat, blood, and tear has been truly worth it. Ganon pala yung feeling when you get paid for something you've worked hard for. Now, I truly understand the value of money... and as I would be part of the sea of young professionals... I would value, whatever I'll earn, even more.
Well, on the lighter note, I spent some of my "katas"... I treated my sisters (hehe.. bonggang pasalubong), and went for a little shoppin. Of course, I gave the tenth of my earning to the church:).. and the rest are for savings na!:) Hindi na kasi ako bibigyan ng parents ko.. a hard fact?? Certainly!!!
Hehe... ngayon... I'm still searching and waiting for the perfect job God has set for me... He knows my heart's desire... and I believe that He has already granted it:)
