Obligations

I have been obliged to repost this (first by DJ, then by Tiff and now by Claire ) so here goes:

Leave a comment and I'll reply by doing the following:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll tell you the very next person/place/event I think of when I think of you.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory/ impression of you.
6. I'll tell you what ice cream flavor best represents you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.


If I do this for you, you HAVE TO post this on your journal :)

One Big Fight!

Muling nagugulumihana't nayayanig ang sarili.
Ngunit, heto na! Alam kong ito na ang tamang panahon upang gumawa ng desisyon.

Para basagin ang mga pag-aalinlangan at mga kuru-kuro, oo, nabigyan ako ng pagkakataong maimbitahang makapagsapalaran sa mundo ng politika sa UP, sa USC at sa NCPAG.

May iilang mga political parties ding nagtanong sa akin kung nais ko bang tumakbo para sa nalalapit na eleksyon. Dininig ko ang lahat, at sinabi kong pag-iisipan ko.

Paniwalaan n'yo ako na napakahirap pagdesisyunan ito.

Alam ng mga pinsa't mga kaibigan ko ang pinagdaanan ko sa pagsubok makarating sa isang desisyon. Katakot-takot na pagtatanong, pagkunsulta, pagdadasal at pag-iisip ang naganap. Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanila, sa lahat ng payo't pagsuporta.

Siguro, nararapat lang malaman ng tao, lalo na ng aking mga nasasakupan sa UP CSA, bilang kanilang kasalukuyang bise-presidente, kung ano ang aking napagdesisyunan.

Oo, talagang nakatataba ng puso ang mabigyan ng pagkakataong makapagsilbi sa mas nakararami, sa mas nakatataas na tawag, ngunit alam ko sa aking sarili, at alam ng Diyos kung nasaan ang aking puso sa kasalukuyan. Alam kong hindi pa ako handa para rito.

Mahirap labanan ang tawag ng aking puso.
Mahirap baliwalain ang gusto ng mas nakararami.

Kaya sa ganitong sitwasyon, buong puso kong ipinaaalam sa lahat na ako'y tatakbo bilang Presidente ng UP Chinese Student Association para sa taong-pampaaralan 2008-2009.

Para sa mga taong ninais akong makapagsilbi't makipagsapalaran sa USC o sa NCPAG, sana'y 'wag n'yong masamain ang aking desisyong tumakbo bilang punong tagapamahala't presidente ng aking unang tahanan, ng aking pamilya, ng UP CSA.

Subalit, sana'y makita ninyo ito bilang isang ilaw para sa hinaharap, at sa mga posibleng mga pakikipagtulungan.

Damn Oysters!

I'm eating normally now. I think I'll be up and about by tomorrow.

I miss school. I miss the campus and the people. I miss the drama. I miss everything with it... just not the academically-induced stress and a few of this and that "this time of the year."

If not for this stomach illness...

I could have gone to the sleepover at Luj's place. I can't believe you guys are having so much fun without me. Boo! Let's have another one on another weekend! Yea?

I could have gone with them to watch a movie. Aww. Sorry. Bawi na lang ako next time!

Edit: Yey! Movie didn't push through, but I still don't know if I'll be able to join you guys :(

Chinese Medicine

I drank this stomach sedative medication yesterday afternoon and last night. It helped me bring out the "bad stuff" inside.
But since yesterday, I haven't stopped "you know what"-ing. Argh! And just now, my mom made me take this. It's "Seirogan". I remember the last time I drank this was when I was 10 years old? I used to hate this because of its smell. It brought bad memories if you ask me, but I still drank. Let's see if this works!

Sick

My stomach's screwed for about 2 days now. I've been ingesting fluids (soda water, water, Gatorade) to replenish all that's going out of me. I didn't have an appetite until today. I think it's slowly coming back now, but not really. I still don't want to eat. But it's a lot better today than yesterday.

I've been absent for 2 days now. Thank God, there's no class tomorrow. :( I missed my Landscape Architecture 1 exam today. I hope I can make up for that.

Isang Araw

I wake up. I take a bath. I eat breakfast. I go to school. I eat lunch. I go home. I do homework. I check my e-mail. I work online. I eat dinner. I go to sleep.

Despite this schedule, life is hard.

Live life one day at a time.

Thank God for friends.
