TWO.DOUBLE ZERO. SEVEN.

Ok. so I plan this post to be rather long to compensate for my "off-on-but-mostly-off" posting attitude in this blog. I would like to ask for apology sa blog ko dahil hindi ko siya ina-update. So, let me make up for that- now. I plan this one to have a summary of my 2007 life. Isa sa pinakamasayang taon sa buong buhay ko- i mean it.

So this year started with a bang. I had a very wonderful start. Most were concentrated, of course, with the last things I had with my Pisay life- with the Paragons. My January days were dedicated to hang-outs with my Pisay batchmates. Lots of sleep-overs, loads of partying, a number of drinks and beers, and a stick of ciggarete. haha. These were my so-called "transition" days. For the record, I told myself before that I would really not try drinking and smoking. but i guess these things are inevitable. I felt sorry for myself-i was a hyprocite. but then again, fuck all these crapppy things. let's get to the real world. haha. One thing I cant forget with my January experience was when John, Aubrey, Reyan and I went to autoshop. It was a wild night. haha. now, I just laugh at the memories of that night. What else? yep, every weekend overnight at irene's and or angie's place and whole lot more. January was also the time when I did not participate for the INTRAMS because of the stupid thing that I did for research. Oh shit, speaking of research, I did a lot of stuff for research- crazy and costly things. whatever. Lastly, I can remember my thoughts on the Singapore Scholarship exam. The hell with that.

February was a weird yet fun month for me. Who can forget? This was the time we went to BAGUIO CITY baby for the National Science Fair. And guess what? we won! ahoo. ahoo. The trip was not a contest- it was a vacation. With justin's dad around, everything was an all-expenses paid trip. haha. kiddin. I could never ever forget that trip. It was my first time to go to UP and check it out. The first time I disgust eating strawberries. The first time I slept with my socks on. haha. I wasn't able to attend our PROM. shit. I didn't get the chance to score with my girl. joke. haha. But it was all OK for me. I mean, we had our mini prom at Camp John Hay. The moment I returned to school, things were a bit different for me. I was tired of studying- I was tired of everything. I maybe had a hang-over from my Baguio trip. FEBRAURY was whatever.

March was a cool month. Things were in a slow pace during this time. One thing I can never ever forget was the batch retreat. shit, one of the most emo nights, i mean, days of my life. Emo in a way that's fun and totality rewarding. I mean, come on, my batchmates opened up, a lot of relationships were mended. And I really felt the unity of my batch. My life then revolved around them. shit. haha. and, who can forget? UPCAT RESULTS on the go baby. I was really eager at the moment. It was the time when I had hopes on building my future on intarmed- haha. ambituous me. if not, i wanted to became a mbb-ist. but then, God gave me the option of becoming a doctor- Biology ahoy. haha. When the results came, I really cant help myself having daydreams of me walking in the UP campus. Meeting new people from different places and all the other crazy things one would imagine. But I guess mine are way tooo crazy. haha. I'll tell you one secret, from the day the results came out, whenever I surf in the net, I always see to it that I go to the UPCAT website and look at my name on the list. It was the best thing I've ever seen in the net- aside from porn. haha. joke. Moreover, March was the day we all bid farewell to our Dear Pisay. I mean, to our High school life. It was a very sad moment for me. I felt goosebumps when I placed the ribbon thing on my graduation headress on the other side. It was the time when the director said- "i now declare you graduates". It was as if my whole high school life was dedicated for the transferring of that ribbon thing and that piece of paper they call diploma. But I believe it was more than that, it was really more than that... Now, I remember my High school life not as the days when I was bombarded with the horrors of having a quiz, passing a research paper, failing an exam or whatever crappy requirements. I remember my High school life as the days when I had fun and wonderful moments with my batchmates, schoolmates, friends, barkada or whatever. hahay... nakakalungkot. On the other side, our batchmates had a fun way of celebrating our goodbyes (tama ba to? haha) yep, i had one of the best party in my life- THE GRAD BALL baby. yea! Everyone was game and wild. without any teachers around, without any rules to follow, everyone was f*cked up. haha. joke lang. It was a sad time for me also because of some personal reasons. Para na lang yun sa mga nakaka-intindi. sikreto na lang. haha.

Oh April came with a "bulabog". I passed the exam for singapore scholarship and i was qualified for the interview. it was unbelievable for me. at that time, I said to my parents- are you kidding me? with this opportunity in the palm o my hands, I was eager to grab it. But at the back of my mind, i thought that maybe my UP life will be gone. Honestly, I did my best for the interview- i reviewed and improved my diction and all that jazz. I said to myself, if I pass this one, then good! I'll go and grab this shit. If not, then good! I'll go to UP! either was good enough for me. And thankfully (or not) I didn't pass the interview. I don't know if ill be happy or disappointed. But now, I'm very very happy with my UP life. April was not all about this shit. There were other things too that I cant remember. haha.

May o May! I recall a lot of crappy things I did. Well, i guess, it was out of the boredom I got while I was here in Gensan. I mean, after being very busy with lot of things, I found myself not returning to Pisay. MAY was the time when I told my parents that I'll be going to Davao because of some lame reasons like birthday, party or whatever. But then, I'll just hang out sa DAVAO. inuman, party, BEACH! yea. lahat. haha. I also made one shitty thing this time of the year. Para na lang uli sa mga nakaka-alam. haha. I had my first hardcore inum at suka sa haws nila irene. Thanks to martin! haha. I was with irene, nina, and martin at that time. May was the month when I went to UP for the advance enrollment shit. This time, I was really excited to study in the university of the Philippines. it was a very exciting time of the year. I was really anticipating to start my college days in UP.

MY FIRST SEMESTER: June-October

I'll be writing with my experience in my first sem in UP this time. EVERYTHING.. and i mean EVERYTHING was new for me. and it was totally fun and amazing. The ONE BIG thing that really made me smile is: THE PEOPLE i met in UP diliman. churva. I mean, at first, i was kinda hesitant and judgmental about them. But then, I tried to open up and things were a lot better than I expected. The people i met were really cool new people and very fun to be with. Not to mention my professors, my classmates, my new found friends, kalai-mates, BASEMENT-mates! everyone of them are really amazing people. To name: (i'm sorry kung wala kayo dito ha. mabilisan lang to. stream of conciousness. kung sino lang maalala ko. haha) mga geog friends ko sina jia, isay, alvin, ralph, nikki, koleen, sheena, daryl! silang lahat ay napaka-ayus na maging katropa kahit nung 1st sem lang kami nagsamasama. Naudlot nga ang plan namin na magsama-sama dis sem e. badtrip. anyway, yung mga friends ko sa ibang subjects! Isa sa mga pinakanakilala ko ay sina mich, gelo and sammy. They are my partners in crime! haha. joke. We hang out and I really have so much fun with them. and why would i forget- the best dudes in the world (haha)- BASEMENT BOYS yea. ang saya sa corridor na to. I mean, this not just a mere corridor for me, there is more to basement than just a dark line of rooms and a dirty old cr. haha. Siyempre, hindi mawawala sa basement ang mga katropa ko sa inuman at usapan! yea. We drink in the basement not just for the heck of it, but as what they say- for socialization. haha. joke. ewan. the best ang inuman sessions ko sa basement. hindi lang inuman, iyakan pa. haha. alam niyo na yun kung sino kayo! haha. ayus. especially, si ade! haha. joke lang. andami na naming crimes na nagawa sa inuman- OPERATION PHONE CALL (master mind ako, si popet ang agent haha), ATE VICKY's CONSPIRACY (haha), THE STRABUCKS/MCDO BULABOG, etc. haha. long live kina Alvin , Myk-Myk, Brycko, Revee,Jadd, Lawrence,Popet, Kenneth O.,
Wilf, Rashed,Don-Don, Jarvin,Yam, Frank,Fritz, Marlon T.,Kim, adnan,Rai, Master Dan,Mykez, Xavier Jr.,Enri, Carl,Lester, Francis,Rap,Gift, Eugene,Roden, Marlon A.,
Kuya Xavier, Ernest , Kenneth C.,Miguel, Marvin V.,Daniel, Andrie,Gandy, Emil,Adrian, Kevin,Randy, Jahan,Raffy, Mart & Luigi, Ade, Gian, Marvin A., Julius, Jerome, JJ & Em. I did not only meet the basement boys in kalai, pati na rin ang kalai people as a whole. specially sa 2nd floor girls who are very fun to be with. basta, i would like to include everyone in kalai! lahat-lahat na. sina Mai, dana, si KAT! sina jeanine, jelline, rozz, cha!, mar, region 12 pips, lahat. basta. Sa sobrang dami ng ginagawa kong kataratadohan nung first sem, i was amazed that i still got a relatively high grade. hahay... pero, maliit pa rin para sa UP-PGH. sana, tuloi-tuloi na itong bio life ko. haha.


MY SECOND SEMESTER(part 1): November-December
On the note on Acads muna: The first few parts of my second sem was a bit tupsy-turvy. My priorities were not properly aligned to my vision. I was slowly going away from the track i chose. I did not do well in my studies. everything was messed up. I had my wrong priorities. I wont blame my going out moments because i still do have the time during weekday nights. its just that i cant seem to really find myself at the time. currently, i am a failure. come on, i'm sure i flunked the first exam in envi sci (with a terror prof) and i still haven't made that stupid research re: recombinant bovine growth hormone, i still don't feel like making the pan pil 17 incentive paper on faculty follies, oblation run, lantern parade, etc., i had a low score in my first long exam in math (although it was passing, it was still not good enough for me), i don't know what to expect in my chem 16 class because the first exam is on jan. 12 and i cant remember a damn single thing re: our lessons in chem. My philo class is the worst class i've ever been. i need not explain it. it is the worst thing ever ever ever. bla bla bla. I really really cant find myself at this time. Maybe i'm fed up or what. If that is the case, nakakatakot, still have to go to UP-PGH. if i don't do well in this, and if i cant get up from this falling of mine, how can i be admitted to PGH and study med proper? I have these dark thoughts inside my mind but these things cant seem to perk me up to do well in class- or at least do my best. I cant find the motivation and all. or whatever. i hope i'll find it next year! 2008. please, God, give it to me. I really really badly need it. i need a driving force for me to stand from this fall of mine and let it continue up to med school (i wish!). On the lighter side, I found myself busy with my friends doing not academically related things. for one, i will be very busy with the pasafest in kalai. all that shit.

So, basically, that was my year. one of the greatest years in my life- two double zero seven! 2007. Lots of twists and turns, but in the end, I ended up in the end (what?). what i mean is, just ride life the way you want to. you'll never know what's in store for you- just like in a roller coaster. quoting myself in my comm3 speech: "people dread of riding a roller coaster because of the fear that they might die from a gibberish death. yes, for once, i was in a near-death experience... AND THAT HAS MADE THE RIDE WORTHWHILE!"

I wish myself another roller coaster ride for 2008. but this time, i want my ride to be something that is in line with my vision- my future. it may sound stupid to ride a roller coaster life that is something in line with my churva vision, but i believe i can make some negotiations. haha.

cheers to me!
