NEO-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

I hate myself this week. Where the hell is my school spirit? >_<

Monday - No classes. Slumming slumming forever. Or.. Wait, I forgot what happened.
Tuesday - Driving lessons I think? Then straight to the condo right after.
Wednesday - Omg. Velada Tomasina. Wow, I fell in love with UST for the second time in a long time. What did I wear? School uniform and a beret. Oh, I forgot the numerous shoots I had to take care of for TOMCAT.
Thursday - Shoot for the Feria. After, driving lessons.
Friday - Cheermania, which I wasn't able to attend because I was busying compiling video mats and such. FIREWORKS God damn it, which I heard were incredibly awesome. Again, no-show. Fck my period. ARGH.

Saturday. No rest. I'll finish my Weekend List and continue to loath myself for my numerous event absences. And I think I wasn't able to get everything right because I don't remember all the details of my douche-y week.

I have to make up for the school spirit I lost :( Why am always busy/cramming/stressed. I'm not suicidal, I'm just perpetually lazy :( With a lot of orgs. What a crappy combination.

I'm sorry, my beloved university. I hope you still love me as much as I love you. <3

Dante's Inferno

When the police arrived at the scene, they asked him: 'Do you know what you've done?'

'Yes,' Chapman replied evenly. 'I just shot John Lennon.'

We have been given an assignment in my Literature class to write about Dante's Inferno. My professor's instructions were to choose a circle in hell and explain its relevance in contemporary times. We have to cite examples in modern setting and choose a person to write about.

I chose Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's Assassin.

Personally, I find this assignment interesting. Not only are we condemning people to hell (not saying we have the right to!) but we're being graded for it, too. Honestly, do I sound mad? Hmmm. All the best people are.

Hell week has passed. I'm thankful that I was able to survive. Not that exams can kill you physically, of course. But the mental and physical drain... Oh, exhaustion. Hopefully, the fruits of my labor will be sweet. This week, I don't think we have anything lined up that requires grinding study hours. But we do have a lot in store that requires strategizing, planning and meeting up with teammates about. Org and acad-wise.

I have to finish 2 papers (or at least finish something worthwhile) this morning because I have plans in the afternoon. Nyehehehihizm. In other news, Tuesday is going to be awesome. Driving lessons in the morning, meetings in the afternoon and finally, after weeks of waiting, MAMMA MIA @ the CCP theater later in the evening!

YES. Life is good.

For now I must face the madness that is Monday.

"I aimed at his back and pulled the trigger five times and all hell broke loose in my mind."

Just One More

I have not been posting lately because every week, my schedule is booked and I can no longer find the time to focus on the fun stuff. Not that I'm not having fun.. But I guess I just miss being bored. Hihi. That can be fun, right?

So. This week and the previous one before this was apocalypse period. Two straight weeks of pure madness. Orgs and other outside stuff, included. Hmm. I'm itching for it to be October already so The Dream can be realized. Hehe. Srsly. But I am a person who lives for the day and so I can't just lull through the time waiting for the big tour date.

Check out my essay, if you please.

Just so you know, I was listening to John Mayer, Jack Johnson and Pablo Neruda poetry readings while doing this. So I guess you can see where my inspiration evidently comes from. :)

Speaking of stressful days past and ahead, I NEED THESE.

Chocolate Mud Mask. Mmmmmm... Smells great and it feels good. I'm not exactly sure what it's for as long as it feels gewwwwd. Nom nom. Can't lick it though.

Oh, Noriter! We meet again! :3 I missed your heavenly orgasmic (whut haha) Oreo cheesecake!! Sigh. It's been too long. Till the next one! :)

Sooo. What else is new? I'm busy!! And.. I can't wait for October and December. My God, I simply JUST cannot stress that enough myself for the life of me.

ONE MORE EXAM. Oh, wait.. TWO actually.. TWO MORE EXAMS TILL ALL OF THIS IS OVER. For this week, at least. Daaaamn </3 Well technically I won't be taking the other one.. Did I mention? I'm proctoring on Sunday for the USTET. Woohoo! >:)

What I might be wearing + strappy heels:

Uhmm. We don't have a decent full-body mirror at GT. Haha.

And for my final bit of news.

Yesterday, I decided that I want to learn how to play the drums. My brother has a friend who can teach me. Yay! I hope I can get started ASAP :D And hopefully, I'll find the time to learn.

OMG It's Friday

5:30AM. I do NOT miss waking up this early :|

So, today was pretty crazy. Everything was so hectic and there were a lot of activities. At least I got to wear civilian clothes during class. Yeah, so bad ass :))

Anyway, UST's Behavioral Science Society from the Faculty of Arts and Letters had a team building for the freshmen entitled "BEStified". They told me to be a facilitator for the event. ASDFGHJKL. Long story which I don't really feel like relaying for now. Bottom line is: extemporaneous facilitation. It wasn't that hard but let's just say I was a little.. underexposed to facilitating for team building activities. Yadigg? So sue me.

I have to say.. I was pretty impressed with the output shown today by the BES babies. It was an incredible experience; to be a part of their team building and to hear what they have to say about batch unity and such. It literally brought tears to my eyes. Ugh. Yes, roll your eyes all you want because I sound so melodramatic but really, if you heard their speeches and seen for yourself how united they were as a group.. I think.. yeah. :')

It's a little tearjearking to know that I was also once a freshman and, in a few years.. Sigh. And that I went through what they did, too. And that I'm going to miss it all when I leave. Sentimental noh? That's how it is when you get attached :')

It's a damn shame we weren't able to record their speeches about batch solidarity. I could even see in the other marshalls' and facilitators' reactions that they were impressed. It started at 8:00AM and ended at around 2:30PM.Thank God it was a success! :D Pictures will have to wait because I didn't take any! Haha. I'll just grab and go.

So! After the team building, I headed straight to the Ed Tech center in the library for my TOMCAT interview. It was pretty quick, thankfully, because I had a class at 3PM. I felt a little panicked because, other than the fact that I was running like a madman from TYK to the library to the AB building, I didn't study at all for my Spanish quiz. Sigh :( Bad move!

Spanish class until 9PM. Oh, and Naomi stayed at GT until her parents were done watching something at Resorts World, I think? Girly bonding. Hihi :3

That's my Happy Friday :)

P.S. Just added pictures today. Haha. (July 25)

Day 22

Your academics:
I love school. If only I wasn't so lazy half the time. HAHAHA. Good news, I haven't failed any of my subjects. Bad? Uhm. I should try harder next time. Hihi. Good luck to everyone! The academic year looms ever so closer. Waaah. Happy days are here again.
