I need to lose 5 pounds in 1 month in time for graduation picture season. That doesn’t sound so tough now does it? That is, unless you’re like me and you don’t have the concept of discipline. Haha.
Damn it! Must lose weight. Especially since I plan on posing as a Hooters girl for my creative shot. Haha.
I’m currently hating readings more than anything else in the world. Unfortunately for me all of my subjects this sem are readings-heavy. I usually get away with ignoring the required readings until it is exam crunch time, but it’s so tedious cramming all of it in one go. So this year I thought I’d do myself a favor and read the required readings for every meeting, to lessen the anxiety when exams are near. I mean, if I have to give up a part of my allowance to have reams of paper photocopied in the name of learning and education, I might as well let it serve its purpose.
But my attention span just won’t cooperate. Hay.
Two weeks pa lang ba talaga? I was such a bitch all week. There’s regret all over here.
Happy 100th Birthday to the University of the Philippines!
Surprisingly, my Foundation Day wasn’t as festive and eventful as I hoped it would be. The profs in my two classes called off classes, so in effect my friends and I literally went to school just to hang out. And nothing stood out more today than the fact that it was unbelievably scorching hot. Haha. But that didn’t stop me and a friend of mine from joining in whatever festivities there were. Congratulations to everyone who will receive the 20k Centennial bonus, and good luck to the Vinzons UPGrade (btw I helped pick out the name of that project hehe) project of the University Student Council.
There should be more days like these. Haha. I’m all for hanging out.
My last first day of (mandatory) school went better than expected… Not that I normally expect that anything spectacular would happen on first days. But a lot of spectacular things did happen - unexpectedly. Haha yeah, I’m being redundant.
Yesterday was also the birthday of one of my closest college friends. Happy Birthday, Meg! I love how my schedule and my classes provides a lot of time for me to spend with my friends. I’m really going to go all out on them this year, since it will never be the same after. For someone who is bad at making and keeping friends, what a feat it is that the friends I have now are the friends I had in the beginning, four years and many pounds ago.
I wonder if I should be doing school work now. Like advanced reading or something.
What a fun, that summer was. Haha. But before I tell you all about it, I just want you all to know that I’m now part of the cute Plurk world. Yay add me.
So anyway. It’s easier to talk about my summer using numbers.
Over the course of two months, I managed to have a lot of twos and a coupla fours:
2 - embarrassing but fucking hilarious videos taken of me. One was when I rode the Ultimate Bungy in Singapore with a friend, and the other was me receiving “exorcism rites” in a party. Haha. Damn, that’s what memories are made of.
2 - heart-warming one-on-one conversations with two friends. Yeah, I like talking about my feelings and I’m fortunate to have friends who care. One was just outside a street food stall on a rainy day. The other was in Starbucks, and we had beer afterwards. Haha.
2 - different sets of friends, 2 absofuckinglutely awesome parties in one night.
4 - dates. Two went really well, two went really bad. Haha.
4 - movie dates with friends in a span of one month. That’s more movies than I ever watched my whole entire junior year. Haha.
4 - bloggers’ events attended. Yeah. I’m not anti-social anymore haha.
That’s as much as I’m willing to tell you. It was my last undergrad summer well-spent. I got to share it with the people in my life, but it was mostly about me.
Crap. I don’t even want to think that it’s my last year in UP.
