It's always great to have a lengthy break, and it's always too short and bitin for the likes of us who want to just get away from the stress and struggles of being...well, a student.
Hmm...well, it won't last for long anyway, and those 4 or 5 years will soon pass. Badtrip ba? Hahaha. Whatever.
Anyway...kaya nga masarap rin mgbreak. Para hindi tayo magmulfunction. Sana lang alam yun ng mga profs ntin (and even our parents), don't you agree? I think most of them know that, kaya nga they give more work to torture us more, hahaha! Payback? Ewan ko, sila n lng nkakaalam nun.
At ngayon, tapos na naman ang 2006 sembreak, so I felt that I should do a 103th entry to keep the memory here...what the heck I love to write too, so here goes...
My sembreak started on Oct. 14. But it was a rocky start (or end) for me because I had to play chase with my profs from the 13th (it was even a friday, san ka pa) until the 18th (a wednesday, but it doesn't matter)...6 days of lovin' with my profs, whoo-hoo...
Oct. 26 was my real rest from all kinds of work. That's the day after my enrollment.
The educational part of my sembreak...I learned a lot from my make-ups and book-browsing. I also helped my ma in the perfume biz, learned a great deal. Yesterday was my first time to go home using only the train and a jeep...and yeah, a motorcycle coz I was too lazy to walk the distnce to our door, hehehe.
The mastering part of it...I improved on my housework skills, improved on the arcade scene, changed my shooting form in basketball (working on it), wrote free verse poetry and letters for my penpal (uso pa ba un?), studied the inner workings of the computer software (yah, I'm not a techie, but so what), downloaded songs, watched a lot of youtube shows...hahaha! Thanks to my friends, esp. Ozzy (for the dancing thing), of course (Jonreph better watch out!).
The most trying part of the period...taking care of Lebron (the new puppy in the house). Now I kinda know what it feels like to be a parent to some helpless little 5-month old you can just kill anytime but you wouldn't coz it's soo cute (and I'd go to jail...you know what I mean). Hahaha.
No seriously it's not easy, and it's very tiring...but the fulfillment is just...man, it's one of the coolest experiences...
Most refreshing part of sem break- my textmate of the break (meron pla nun, hahaha), flooder of my inbox, you meanie...a person I just love hating, si Mark (salamat sa iyong oras at load). At inuulit ko, HINDI ako bakla- just 60% girl, 40% guy. Nah, as if...babae po ako, undoubtedly.
Feel-good experiences...made new friends (for example, si Monching), went out to explore moa for UBEs (ultimate bonding experiences) with ust friends, kr, jrep and company, and finally yung kahapon with the sj peeps na hindi ko naman natiis (at finally nkasama si Herschel, had been waiting for that).
Firsts...made a complete silly crap of me (lagi naman ata, pero this time) by dancing on the dance pad with Cob (I missed this old chum, grabe, salamat uli) and Therese (yah, we're great). Got too excited and thrilled with Herschel finally agreeing to try the dance pad and the parapara dance (the one with the sensors, hehehe).
Mga awws- Sayang lang hindi ko nakasama si Sha for this break (maybe sa Xmas break, as Cob had mentioned). Pati si Mark, Jo, Julie, Daryll (we didn't get to go 'round the mall). At may mga dapat akong mkausap jan na hindi ko nkachika. Hmm. Tulad na lang ng dentist ko. Hahaha. At hindi na ko nakapag-tennis. Aw.
10 new goals already set (growing is supposed to be constant): I must...
1, do something to keep my relationship with Christ intact and working, esp. reading the Bible
2, make time for my friends and not spend it all on just a few of them (I'm very serious)
3, be more of myself and less of what is expected of me
4, hold on to my new lifestyle of deliberately closing all chances for any romantic relationship to come in now (even shallow bouts of crushes...man, even I can't believe I'm doing this...)
5, be more of a warm and friendly chatmate, meaning not being too selective (esp. with classmates)
6, avoid lateness in duties and classes
7, finish all work before wasting my time on other stuff
8, keep fit (don't engage in food binges just because I'm sad or I got a low grade)
9, act less stupid and stop getting shaken by MDs in the clinical setting (come on, tao rin sila)
10, save more cash and budget according to God's money principles (meron- use only 70% for basic needs, keep the 20% for savings and tithe the 10%- which makes me think about opening a bank account inside ust)
I look forward to:
- My capping ceremony (I wonder what will happen)
- Spending more time with Tif, Therese, and Mommy (they trasfered near ust kasi),
- Ust paskuhan (coz I have the love nest to spend it with, maybe even Tif!)
- Christmas break (coz I'll get to see my friends again)
- Dec. 26 (might just get out of the country and meet my cousin Lesley for the first time)
- New Year (reunion with my clan sa mother side)
