Thesis na naman ako. Yep. I am planning on submitting my second draft this Monday.  Haay. Gender Politics and Communication in the Urban Dance Floor. Kaya yan. Aja!

I had a great chat with April of UP CRS yesterday. Kakatuwa, she likes drawing too. Naiinspire tuloy akong magpractice pa... She told me to try doing some work using oil paint. Sabi ko, baka masayang kasi di ko pa nasusubukan. Saya sigurong umpisahan yun ngayon kasi inspired pa naman ako.

Pero sabi ko nga, ang process ay importante.  

Tapos, natulog lang kami sa tambayan. Puyat e. Wala pang gaanong tulog from the overnight. I was waiting for Paul. Magkikita dapat kami after his training ng sport climbing.

Ayun, nagising ako with a message from Chuck. Met him sa library tapos nagkwentuhan. Past, present and future--dami napagkwentuhan. Narealize ko na ang dami ko na palang napagdaanan. He was the first person who asked me to tell my mom and dad that I love them. He introduced me to a lot of things. Opened up my mind and made me soar to greater heights. 

Now, I am soaring even much higher kasama yung mahal ko sa buhay. Ganun nga talaga siguro, natututo ka with each experience. No regrets. Gaya nga ng sabi ni Jj parati, "happiness lang, stan. happiness." 

Di na kami nagkita ni Paul. *sigh* Went home with Ynah.  

I'm looking to more flights and dances. 

Working and having fun

We spent our night @ Ysaw's place. 

Beejay, Aya, Ton, Ynah, Cathy, Ching, Age were there. Kulang na lang sila Enzo (bahay, di namin classmate), Malor (nasa Korea pa, papakaexchange student) and Briggs (nasa Bicol, data gathering). Saya. Namiss ko itong working together.

Ang daming food. Sobra. Talagang pinaghandaan. Ang sakit na nga ng tyan ko. We had vegetables, chicken and pork for dinner. Tapos daming chocolates, chips and cookies for midnight snack. Brewed coffee rin ang nagpagising samin. Tapos hotdog, bacon, pancakes, orange and apple juices ang sumalubong samin nung breakfast. 

Ultimate hosts talaga ang mga parents ng batchmates ko! *Busog*

Tapos walang tulugan. Sharing sa paganalyze ng mga political advertisements for signs of Filipino communicative behavior. Kakapuyat. Pero nagawa rin namin ang trabaho namin dun. Yung group nila Ysa, nakagawa pa ng communication plan for our other subject.

I am just glad everything is turning back to normal sa block namin. Makes me want to smile now.  Mahal na mahal ko ang block ko. 

Next time, overnight for fun naman. hehe. 

I feel giddy.

Men in Pink

 Anniversary na pala ng organization ko sa UP nung Friday. Nag-anniversary dinner kami sa Balay Kalinaw.

Happy 30th year anniversary, UP Communication Research Society! It was an honor to emcee a very inspiring and fun event. Ang saya!

 Then we went to Drews (Katips) para uminom at magcelebrate. Saya ulit. Learned a lot of things. At siempre, pinaratangan pa raw ako na "flirt" ng mga kaibigan ko. So binakuran nila ako at hindi pinapaihi ng mag-isa. Ayaw pa nila akong patayuin sa lamesa. Sabi kasi nila, people were checking me out... Siguro naka-pink na polo lang kasi ako nun tapos naka neck-tie. 

Tapos McDonalds. Tapos tulog kila Rai.

Sabado na... 

Tapos, without ligo, pumunta na ako sa group meeting namin for our Communication Research 180 paper. Saya! Ang bantot ko na. Pero meeting pa rin. Una, sa College of Mass Communication. Tapos, Bo's Katipunan.

Marami namang nagawa. Naulit ulit yung topic na flirt raw ako. Sabi ni Briggs, "over-friendly" raw ako and people mistake it for something else. 

Ang ganda ni Cathy. Nakakadistract. Can't help but stare nung nangkakadiscussion kami. Earlier that day, may photo shoot sya for Nescafe. Iba talaga ang batchmates ko.  

May napag-usapan rin. Hay nako. Minsan mas minamabuti ko na lang manahimik. Hehe. Contrary to what some people believe, may discretion rin ako.  

Then somebody paid me a visit sa Bo's. Naka-pink rin sya. Cute. More hugs kapag nakaligo na ako. 

Napapangiti tuloy ako.

Never the SuN

Hatred can sometimes be felt even from a distancE.

It is like the warmth of the sun radiating from its core. This time, what was warm has become burning hoT. 

Sometimes, being cold could keep yourself from burning. But even cold metal melts with too much heat and too much heat can sometimes cause much damagE. 

Never will I ever have enough fuel to burn like the suN.

Happy Day

Spent my morning with Cathy, Ynah, Briggs and Leah doing university coursework. Ang init ng araw ngayon. Basang basa na ang kilikili ko.

Then Paul came. Had some banana latte at Latasia Fusion. Then siempre sa tambayan na tahimik, ang Bo's coffee shop sa Katipunan. Eating cakes will never be the same again. May bago akong favorite.

Cool.

Then I went to Embassy to support some of my friends and to do some participant observations. It was a nice place, although I noticed that people there is not as "dancy" compared to Malate Clubs. Pero I still had A LOT of fun *wink*.

That was also the time when I realized I am becoming fond of this person.

Rumors will always be there. That is what believing is for.

Went to Bed with Phillip. Got to do more participant observations and got to
meet new people. I was able to get free drinks even way after the open bar.

That is what I call Pinoy hospitality.

I have not slept last night for our report.

Then I went to school early to get the laptop from my sister at College of Home Economics. Then I went to College of Business Administration to meet Cathy. That is where schoolwork resumed.

Although there were some glitches, I personally believe that we were able to deliver our report well. I love my group. Cheers to ynah, cathy, leah and ching!

Then I had a great time with a friend. Daming napag-usapan. I'm looking forward to more chats and more walks with you. 

Just when I thought that my day is about to end, I came across a high school friend at the MRT station. We had some evening snack then headed to the nearest wifi hotspot to play with his mac. Siempre, di mawawala ang kwentuhan. 

Sana may pera pa ako para makalabas ako this Saturday. Himala, my sister might join me. She is not that manang afterall. 

Another day

I am here at celebrity sports plaza with cathy, leah, ching and ynah. I was late for our meeting, as usual. Instead of on time, I was four hours late. Staying up late last night for the fair was not a good idea after all. Although I have to say I had fun with alex and the rest of the gang.

Feeling ko para akong lolo kagabi sa kakaubo lalo na kapag malamig. To think that I seldom smoke. Last time was last December pa (and the rest of the pack is still with me for remembrance).

I had Celebrity Salad and hot calamansi for merienda. Cathy and I shared spaghetti. After that, all we did was think, think and think.

Now, my brain has turned to goop. Pure goop.

Everything was brighter a while ago... Now the Sports Lounge has turned into a real hangout place for people who actually want to relax. Haha.

The videoke is playing... It's very tempting to grab some alcohol and sing out loud. It's been a while since I last went out to drink.

But I can't. I'm still sick.

Happy. Happy.

Congratulations, Manila Dragons Family
