I live... I learn

so far....

Sem break is like a ticking time bomb--once it's over, the stress and sleepless nights will once again come back... and it's nearing to reach it's time already!

I think that one month of being a bum and having nothing to do is not enough. If you were to compute it, you have around 3 days of break for every 1 grueling week you had in school last sem. But then again, that one month of vacation (supposedly) becomes 3 weeks or less since you still have this one week of registration process. To cut this short, sembreak is not enough to regain all the sleepless nights you (including me) had during the past sem. *blah!*

I'm not yet in the mood to go back even if I'm quite bored already. I just think that I haven't really bored myself from boredom.

Besides doing nothing, I've been involved in the preparation of my Cuz' debut/party. Well, It's not really this formal kind of debut... more of a party with some touches of the traditions like the 18 treasures, 18 Roses, etc. Going back, I've been helping her with all the preparations (namely: program, looking for a caterer, clothes, concepts, etc). I've been going with her to different malls to look for her clothes and other things that will be needed for her party like floating candles, bowls for popcorn, etc. I'm really hoping that the [party would be a blast.

Also, I've just been appointed as the co-head of one of the projects of Ateneo Lex. It's actually a gig like Shindig and we plan to make it as big as that. Yesterday, I met with cuz (who we'll be my co-head in the project) and with Mike (from Lex) to discuss the details of the project. We had quite a conversation... trying to come up with the name for the event, the people, etc. Right after the meeting, Cuz asked me if I wanted to go somewhere and I said yes. To my surprise, she and Kyle suddenly became so spontaneous that I just realized that we're on our way to Tagaytay. We had no money, no place to stay but we still went. When the three of us reached Tagaytay, we went to People's Park (Yes, it was my first at that place even if I've already been to Tagaytay a couple of times). Right after that, we had our so-called lunch at around 3 pm and went back at around 4. We were crazy for doing that (wasting the gas and all). However, it's actually fun. Being spontaneous in one day makes you forget all the stress and worries you have. I ended my day in having dinner at my Mamita's house to meet the sister-in-law of my lola from the states.

I know this entry has been longer than my conventional posts, but I don't want to miss the chance to write about my experience when we went to the province for the All Soul's Day.

We left last Saturday around 9:30ish am and arrived at around 1 pm. We went directly at the Hotel and had some time for siesta. After the nice siesta, we went to the house of my Mommy Edna (the eldest sibling of my mom) and had our merienda there. After some merienda and after playing my my pamangkins, we then went to the house of the youngest brother of my lolo (father's side). Then, we directly went to Jp's house (the cutest, smartest, and most adorable cousin I've ever had!) Grabe, super cute niya! lol!

We stayed there for three days before we went home. So happy to see my relatives in the province especially my cousins. So many stories told and so many bonding moments with the to catch up with the things happening to one another. I even learned na may kapatid sa labas 'yung lola! lol!

Okay na sana 'yung vacation in the province if it weren't for the annoying super TRAFFIC on our way back home. (Try to imagine, in one of the towns we had a record of one hour for one kilometer!)
