UP really might end up beating Ateneo. Whoa. The world is turning UPSIDE DOWN!!! :))

maulan na Linggo

When was the last time I blogged?

MONDAY = Petiks day. Dalawang klase lang ang pinasukan ko (pareho pa naman chem). I'm not sure whether to be a little worried that we have a substitute prof in orgchem, or to be happy that his teaching style seems to be working better for us. I also got a new assigned task for my SA work.

Let's just say I'll know at the end of this term if God exists. I need Divine Intervention.

TUESDAY= Syempre, sabog talaga na araw. That's what Tuesdays are (4 subjects, and 2 of them are Physics). At least ok ung EB meeting for the SMS GA.

WEDNESDAY= Kat in the hat day. That's what I get for bringing a hat to my classes. I had a lot of fun, truth be told. Kahit walang kwenta na naman ang pagpasok sa abpsyc kasi recitation kuno ulit. At least I got to start some of my work.

THURSDAY= Oh wow. Classes all around, and SMS GA + YFC hh. Sinabaw ako first thing in the morning dahil sa panonood ng "Dora the Explorer" for LEARPSY. Thank God for great attendance at the GA (though the record attendance for the night's GAs goes to ECES....) Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a success!!

FRIDAY= tuloy tuloy na naman! Thesis talk + makeup class in LEARPSY. At least sobrang astig ung thesis talk (THANK YOU LORD!!!) And work again.

SATURDAY= Lectors meeting (more bearable this time) and NaNo meet up :D :D super saya much!!! And watching "The Fantasticks".

I feel a bit like a slug today....like my body wants to move, but is just lacking the energy to do so

campus fresh party!!

Yeah, after a whole lot of foiled plans for the weekend (thesis talk, makeup class, YFC reco, meeting up with Ate Tina), only TWO things came through: watching HP6 with my siblings, and going to CSB for the Pinoy Fresh party.

I know, I'm a little weird: my first campus FRESH party in my JUNIOR year. I didn't go to the one in 2007 because I was inactive in YFC then. I would have gone to the 2008 one, but certain issues came up.

Mga kasama from YFC DLSU: AJ, Ate Drei, Kuya Darwin, Dave, Ate Ynah, RJ, Josh, Mitch, Ate Tinay, Kuya Niki, Drew.

Other people I partied with: Kuya Tino, Chris, Benjo, Faye, Ate Dindi, JC, Kuya Jai, Benjamin, Michael, Jill.

Highlights: watching the 7crews. Bands. Dancing. And hanging out.

It was the best fun I had in a long time (a cure to anhedonia, I swear). And partying cleanly is just something else. More proof I don't need the booze AT ALL to loosen up.

Sa mga ibang friends na di nakasama: Year ender tayo! O di kaya next year ulit! Kahit seniors/terminal year na rin, pwede pa!!!

walk on water

Yeah, ganon na. While I'm stuck here in DLSU, waiting for my sister to get out of class, I may as well blog.

Funny what you can learn when God seizes your sked and takes charge. Little delays become opportunities for learning from friends and teachers. Looking out the door at the right time stops the class from leaving for a free cut, thus giving time for much needed correction. Dropping by the psych lab is a chance to learn that yes, I do have friends in high places...that it's possible to get a projector on short notice, and that some traditions just don't die...particularly if they are good traditions.

Tomorrow...I don't know where I'll be. Or on Saturday. It goes against my "judging" side ---the side that demands organization and order. Yet I wouldn't have it any other way.

not so much of an epic failure.

Maybe I'm not "so good" when it comes to three things: organic chem, training mice, and telling my parents where I am (yeah, now I risk not going to the FRESH party this weekend).

But that doesn't mean that life is a complete bust for me. If there's anything the last few days have taught me, it's that goodness comes in various forms.

Blessings for the week:

-Getting to worship.

-G&W photo shoot.

-Passing orgchem and managing to survive ABPSYC

-Laughing hard. Whether it's about bad rats or Rodz's jeans.

-getting some stuff done (okay, I still owe a CLASIKO article, but I really don't know how to get started. Help?)

-YFC DLSU. Maybe things aren't always easy here, but they are blessed. Everything from Moti's visit to worship, to even just the simple moments hanging out with everyone...these things are my sanctuary nowadays. My experiences are lenses  for me to see God better.

-Pizza tonight! Ang babaw ng kaligayahan ko.

-Learning to value the people in my life. As much as I may be reluctant to admit it, my life is so intertwined with those of many others. Maybe I don't agree with my parents about tons of stuff, but I have to admit, they care for me. I don't know how I'd get through my acads without the support of my friends, especially Trisha, Minseun, Andria, Margy, and Nana. I wouldn't get through SMS work without Neul, Nikka, Rhea, Len, Angel, Joanna and the rest of the EB and our members. I definitely wouldn't have grown without my YFC DLSU family: Ate Carmel, Ate Olivia, Ate Ynah, AJ, Joshee, Paul, Kuya Rocky, Dave, Dan, Mira, Rhea, Jep, Gayle, Jed, Jon, Mitch, Rodz, Geom, Fer, James, Flip, Patrick, Francis,  Lara, Karl, Pao, Charles, Kuya Niki, Kuya Marco, Ate Drei, Kuya Darwin, Kuya Tino, Chris, Moti, and everyone else.

Maybe I'm always in trouble, not because God wants me to be in trouble...but because there is an opportunity for His glory to be seen in my life.

Yes, He is really praiseworthy

I'm a little tired and heartsick. Still, I believe that God can work wonders twice over. YFC friends, pray with me.

can the temporal verse come down with a psych condition too?:))

I may not be bipolar but my days sure feel like that. From extremely dragging drama (friends, orgchem, other acads issues) all the way up to manic "kasabawan" and "flow" moments when I'm just perfectly in the zone.

Maybe it's the weather (hot and cold). Or the people. Or the caffeine. Or too many computer games. I just feel like I have a rush nowadays. Parang AC current.

the passage of time

Tama nga si Tino...antagal na di ako nabloblog. Well since wala ung logbook, this will have to do.

Right now, I'm searching for pics for my G&W page. Yeah, I'm at that point already in my academic life (now God, may I please pass orgchem2 and get this much closer to October 2010?). I'm looking at all the pics (mostly from 2008) and the truth sinks in:

The world has turned on its side since then.

It seems like yesterday that I was only a sophie trying to get her life together. Since then, so many things have changed: people entering my life, just a few leaving, and those who have stayed now changing. I've gone over from responsibility to responsibilty (maybe becoming only marginally wiser)

Well some things don't change: God's love. Certain jokes and facial expressions. The fact that I am still horrible in Chemistry class. The fact that this story is far from over.
