so September is ending

I haven't blogged in this journal for some time...

Well, the big things:

-taking floating subjects again and discovering how much my literary side atrophied.

-SECTORCON. I think I might have blogged about this. But that was a real big event for me all the same.

-Pre PAPJA quiz bee. Quite unexpected happenings: people taking the screening out of the blue...and scoring high all the same. Talagang nagpakitang gilas ang mga psych majors. Congrats to the winners: Wong, Ryan, Sheila, Aly, June, and Pat

Somehow I'm more easily tired out nowadays---maybe it's all the things I have to do. And sometimes a little bitter at the things I can never do because of lack of time or opportunities. But well, I've got to make the best of the time I have left in college. Once I'm in the working world, or in med school, I'm not going to be able to be able to fly off the handle.

So much to do when joy is so dear...

 

 

 

having fun in all senses of the word

The last three days of term break...

FRIDAY-SATURDAY: SMS teambuilding! Actually more of like an entire horde of misadventures going to the venue---getting lost in Trinoma, leaving Manila late, eating the worst Jamaican patty in the world (over-toasted twice), driving through the flood...at least things got better once we were in Calumpit.

The team building proper--best described as some seriousness and fun all around--bonding with fellow EB mates, asking Dr. Lane all about ADHD, discussing 2nd term plans, and movie marathon up to 2 or 3am. Then there were all the misadventures going home---looking for someone's wallet, waking up and falling asleep to snoring in the car, getting stuck in traffic all the way back to Taft. At least upon arriving in La Salle, I got to drop by CET review and A4C's practice for sectorcon.

SUNDAY (today): Prisonbreak Central C sectorcon! Since I was part of the prod team and Clar was on secretariat duty, we had to show up at the venue at 6am or so. Misadventures for the day: trip to Starbucks with Jem and Clar. Going back to Arellano and getting sent out again with Jem on an errand (looking for a print shop along Taft at 8am on a Sunday! Divine Intervention an absolute necessity). And of course the sectorcon proper: the Mass, the competitions (go A4C!) and the session. And the praisefest. Ang gaan ng feeling!

Wow. God really has a plan---for all the struggles of last term, and for the way things may play out this term. He is really praiseworthy. And I need to make my own personal prison break. Soon enough. Maybe now. Definitely immediately.

God is gracious

Today was full of unexpected surprises: seeing friends again, unexpected tambay with Ate Oche, Dan, Kuya Niki, Chris, Joshee, Dave, and Kuya Marco, LEARPSY as a whole (didn't know I could do so well, and so badly in something as well). Sectorcon meeting (aka the program committee  tries eyeballing in McDo). New friends from campus based. Getting home early.

I know that I *should* be stressing out on some things but I won't. I've gone through enormous problems...because I have a greater God.

The miracle this term is already fulfilled. Even if my psyorg grades aren't good, even if there's a lot I have to learn...I have seen God's work. I'm still whole.

And I hope that in time too, the world I know, the places where I serve, and the people I love will feel the same way too.

Praise God for another term finished!

I'm serious.

So medyo may pagka-bwiset itong term na ito: andaming frustrations, doubts, at "no" sa buhay. Pero dumami ang mga blessings. Lumawak ang mundo.

Normally, I write a long post thanking everyone who made each term something to remember. Now though there's too many people for that. Sa YFC pa lang, andami na, paano pa kaya ang SMS at mga barkada?

But thank God. No regrets this term. Not everything went right, I lost a lot, but I gained so much all the same.
