the shenanigans of eenamorata

I am pretty sure that yesterday was a pretty good day. I got my requirements approved and I was given the privilege to attend to a pretty cool meeting with the vice president of our university. To be honest, I was a bit wary of her at the start because people were giving negative feedback about her. But, I stand corrected. Because, as I was observing her during the meeting, I was really impressed by her character. She seemed to be well-mannered, definitely educated, motherly, and she exudes an aura of humble confidence.  As we were presenting the report, I was really happy that her response was that of appreciation and enlightenment. Sulit pagod for the past few nights when I have been burning the midnight oil for it. Got more impressed when she told us that she did not know that we had other options for the university issues that we were trying to address. She said, We should not be emotionally attached to our decisions. Beautiful beautiful perspective! Today I am happy

Two big words that I figured is something that I probably need to learn soon or die sometime later. I have been majorly procrastinating (just like right now. hahaha. but I think I need to pour these thoughts down before being able to be productive again.. hopefully) about the things that I need to do, and am most of the time blaming the recent incidents of sadness, disappointments, hurts, fatigue, trauma, and whatnot dramas for not having the drive to do anything... for letting myself fall into the dark nights of the soul and for basically self destructing at some point. Now, I am deciding that it is time to move on. Along with this comes the realization that it is a blessing to have people to go and spill your heart with when these dark nights come. Being able to just talk and share and just have someone to listen, never fails to give light to a dark night. And, as painful as it sometimes is.. my daily devotions is teaching me that it is also a blessing to experience the people o

I played the katulong card again today. :) After finishing the final touches on my programming assignment, due today, someone came knocking at our door... Person: pwede po sa may ari ng bahay? Me: Bakit? Ano pong kailangan nila? Person: ay makikisuyo po kami (something something I did not pay attention really) Me: [in my best katulong voice] ay surry wala po si mam at se ser ---> and the person went away So, when I got out of the house looking cleaned up and amo-like I got really bad stares from them. Hahaha. I really don't care. Its my birthday and I think I'm pretty much allowed to do anything that I want. Hahaha I greatly appreciate those who remembered me today and those who will (this post...). This is a different birthday from the ones I was used to because I don't really feel like celebrating. With a presentation, a thesis proposal writeup, an exam, two newsletters, a funding proposal,  a utility application and a recent death in the family... A celebr

Ten years has passed since I first walked the streets of campus X. As a young and ambitious 4 th year high school student, getting a coveted spot into the most prestigious university of this country was a dream that came true. I felt like I’d be one of the most successful people there is because I got into that uni. Back then, it was definitely something I was very proud of.   However, it was then that I first realized that dreams coming true only gave me a cloud nine feeling at the start. After that, I’ll have to work hard for the journey that lies ahead.  Adjusting to university life was one of the struggles that hit me hard in the face. Being an only child, it was then that I first learned that living away from home was not easy. My dorm mates then would remember me now as “that girl who always cried in her room and denied it (despite the evidence)”.  The new faces, cultures, and places were a bit shocking and it felt like the whole world was unfolding very fast right before

The last few months were VERY busy (still is actually); but these ideas need to be written down before they get clouded with the innumerable stuff that are going on in my life right now. Not that there is actually anything going on going on lately... its just that I am terribly busy with the coursework for masters degree, a thesis proposal, a research paper that i volunteered in, a university position paper that i volunteered in also, an electrical plan, a utility application and an outdoor leadership camp that is coming in less than a month now. I am not able to focus on some actually.. but all these I need to do... My life currently revolves around these things... rather quite boring... or can be just too busy to accommodate much of social related events- especially romantic ones (which I never get anyway or maybe fail to notice.. whatever). I was in the library (which I frequent often these days), trying to populate the reading list that will be crucial for the formulation o
