LSS OF THE DAY: "BUTTONS" BY THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS

Hey! Long time no post! Hehehehehe!:)

SEPTEMBER 13:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUYA TACIO!:) My big bro when I used to work in Jollibee:)
We continued watching "White Chicks". I swear, that was the best time I've had in English class. Hehehehe:)

SEPTEMBER 14:
We watched the second disc of "OH, GOD". Nothing interesting there. Hehehehe!:)

SEPTEMBER 15:
FINALLY PASSED MY TERM PAPER IN PHILOSOPHY!!! The minute I put my folder on the table, it felt as if the heavens opened and a choir of angels began singing "ALLELUIA!". I'm serious! I haven't been sleeping because of that darn term paper! Some of my classmates even danced and skipped back to their seats! Hay. Thank goodness, it's over. Then Professor Doctor Co told us about his trip to Florence and France way, way back then. As he told us all the places he went to, all I could do was stare at him. He went to the Sistine Chapel, he saw the La Pieta of Michelangelo, he saw the statue of David, he saw the Mona Lisa, he saw the tombs of Leonardo da Vinci, Nicollo Machiavelli and so many more! I am so envious of him! I hope I get to go there someday. See the world..
We had a quiz in History. It was pretty long. 1-50 matching type! Nice! Hehehehe!:)
We also had a make-up class in Literature from 11-1. So after English class, we transferred to room 103 and waited for Professor Guevarra. About halfway through the report of the next group, the lights went out. Brown-out. Bad timing! But we went on with the report anyway. The aircon was still on and the laptop they used for their Powerpoint presentation still had charge so we were okay. Just dark. When Gibson went out to ask the guard he said that there were some people stuck in the elevator. That sucks. So we basically sat in the dark for nearly 30minutes. Good thing the lights still went on.
After dismissal, I went straight to the dorm, packed my stuff and headed for the bus station. Tiring ride on the way to Dagupan. And it was kinda hot too; the aircon was busted or something. But it was okay; the managed to fix it. Mom, Pats and Mon picked me up from Jollibee Calasiao and I got take-out from there. When Mom dropped me off in Tapuac, I talked to Dad. I haven't seen him in a long time and it really felt good to just sit there and talk to him. Because almost every weekend when I go home, he's either in Naga, Baguio or in Ilocos. Good thing he's there. We talked about everything. From our latest lecture in History (Renaissance) to who was gay or not during that time. Shakespeare, Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon; just to name a few who were certified "gays" during their time.

SEPTEMBER 16:
Slept through most of the morning. Talked to Dad. This time, concerning our family issues. My Dad said that there was some rumor going around that my mom was pregnant with the *that guy's* kid or something; which of course, was not true. If it was, I am so gonna flip! And according to him, my mom's sisters and mother really don't approve of what my mom did to him. They said that my dad has been nothing but nice to them and they feel really bad (not to mention ashamed) of what my mom did. And my mom's brothers aren't even talking to her. Serves her right.
Went to NetEdge. It's been a long time since I wen there. I even memorized my number there. Hehehehe:) Met with Romeo there and we went out. I bought him a shirt last Tuesday, I think. It was kind of big for him but he said he liked it anyway. It was red and it had "HALE" written in front. I knew that was his favorite band. It's his birthday on the 20th; which is tomorrow! Hehehehehe!:) He lent me his DVD of "SEE NO EVIL" starring Kane Jacobs, the wrestler. It was really bloody! Blood flying everywhere! That guy shows no mercy on his victims. DAMN. But i still liked it. Hehehehehe:)

SEPTEMBER 17:
Went back to Manila. Left at the same time, as always. I did my report in Literature. That's pretty much it.

SEPTEMBER 18:
Hmmmm. I can't remember anything significant that happened.

SEPTEMBER 19 (today):
We had our recollection today. We all met in the classroom and we went to the Med Auditorium at the same time. While we were waiting for the signal to go, Janel and I were talking about the boy bands we used to crush over before. Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, A1, Code Red, MDO, 911. Even Aaron Carter somehow got in our discussion! And the Spice Girls. Strange. Hehehehe:) After a while, I started singing "Just A Little Piece of Heaven" by MDO. ARRGGHH!! MAJOR LSS!!!
We finally went to the Med Auditorium. We weren't the only ones there. I think all freshmen went. Except for Economics majors. I think. We had fun. I cried through the opening prayer. It really hit me hard. It said stuff about family and friends. Can't remember anymore. But it really made me cry. Then the sections were called out. Our class president, Monica, said that we should do "the wave". It was pretty cool. I think we were the noisiest section in the whole auditorium when our section was called. Nice! Hehehehehe!:) We learned a song called, "We Are Thomasian Christians" with matching actions. Here's the chorus of the song:

"We are Thomasian, Christians,
Heralds of God's Word;
We are Thomasian, Christians,
sent into the world.
Builders of peace,
Defenders of truth,
Spreading goodness and love;
Proclaiming to humanity.
We are Christians, we are Thomasians,
Servants of the Lord".

Then a priest, Father Ching, went on stage and told us a lot of stuff. He gave us lectures and told us stories. He said some pretty funny stories that we were all able to relate to. I couldn't stop laughing! All of us were rolling in our seats and tears were already streaming down our faces! I was sitting between Iris and Janel by the way. Hehehehehe:) The one thing Father Ching told us that I will never forget, actually, there are two of them. And here they are:

"The greatest challenge in your life is to find someone who knows your faults and weaknesses but is still willing to embrace you with so much LOVE without DOUBT".

And the next one is..

"It is better to be hated for who you are, rather than be loved for who you are not".

Yeah, I'll never forget them.
We had confession and a Mass after that. Then the Recollection was over. Mark, Janel, Iris, Meg and I went back to the AB building to check if we still have classes coz normally, our dismissal on Tuesdays would be 1:00. But it was still pretty early. We went back, and when we were told that we don't have class anymore, I went to the Main Building with Janel and Meg so I could withdraw from the ATM machine; I need to pay for my dorm. Hehehehehe:) We then met with Iris and Mark in Jollibee in Dapitan, but Meg went home already on our way there. Lots of people, of course. We ordered, ate, talked, blah blah blah. And now I'm here in Websternet, Again. Hehehehehe:)

'Til next time, folks!:)
