It’s been quite a while since I last updated my blog. Haven’t been updating stuff since I’m not so keen on being much of an exhibitionist but I think I’m ready to say a bit again. So here it goes.

School is nearing the end of the semester which means a long (or should I say little?) sembreak is coming up. I think it’s about 2 weeks. Tomorrow is the final day of my exams and on wednesday I’ll be finishing up a group presentation for 2 of my majors. A lot has happened during this sem. It’s only my 2nd year in college and yet I’ve been through a bit of hardships, faced a bit of regret and a tinge of bittersweet joy. Shifting to Masscom wasn’t an easy thing and there are many things that I can analyze now but the questions I’ll always ask myself is this: Where will this lead me and did I make the right choice? I’m not saying that I regret this it’s just that your bound to question something at one point in your life and right now I’m at that spot.

There’s just a ton of things on my mind right now that I won’t even get into but yeah, that’s the gist of it. I guess I’ll go back to reviewing for my Psych exam. Thanks for reading.

I’ve noticed that a lot of things are changing for the worse. Be it the economy or the gas prices. But the terrible changes I’ve seen personally are coming from people around me. People I’ve thought were cool are starting to show their true colors. It’s getting harder and harder for me. I know it may be a minor thing but it’s in my face most of the time. How can I not avoid it? It’s just making me feel weird now… I understand things change, but not to this degree! (@_@);

But that’s not the only terrible change I’ve seen lately. I’ve seen lots of relationships go haywire but this is the only time I’ve witnessed a lot. I know last year I witnessed a very personal one (Which I was happy to see end) but this year I’ve witnessed more than I can even think of. So many problems from left to right it’s like I have no sacred place to retreat to anymore.

Everywhere I turn to there’s bound to be a problem arising. It’s making it hard for me to focus on things that matter to me. *sigh* Even my mom is going back to the States tomorrow which makes me feel even worse since I won’t have someone to confide with nor will I be able to drop her off at the airport since I got class. (~_~) I’m just hoping this will all sort out soon. The only thing that makes me look forward is my Birthday. Turning 18 will be altering but I hope I’ll be able to enjoy the final years of my teenage life and I won’t regret anything by the time I turn 20. Well, in closing, I hope things will get better and the people I thought I knew would change for the better, too.

I just realized how much things have changed in the pace of just 1 year. College feels a lot different now. Gone are the days when hanging out in school was fun. Now it seems like hanging out in school is a death sentence. The whole vibe has seemed to change a lot. It’s really not the same as last year. Maybe it’s because I’m advancing that everything is starting to feel different? All I know is that a lot has changed. (~_~) Hopefully things will only get better from here.

I’ve been sick with the flu for the past few days. It’s been really hard just lying down in bed the whole day. I used to think that sleeping the whole day would be great but when your in college, that shit is retarded. I just wanna get well again. I hate being teased with all the bullshit about H(1)N(1) or whatever that retarded *INTELLIGENT* sounding virus is. What makes things worse is that I missed out on so much in school. I missed out on my reporting, my tests and so on. I don’t know how I’ll be able to get back on it. This really sucks… (~_~)

I had one of the funnest most spontaneous experiences ever in the past 24 hours. My cousin Ranel sent us to Manila to meet up with him since he’s touring with the band Metro Station and we’ve never seen him in like 7-8 years. Me and my brother decided to abruptly pack our bags in less than 5 minutes and head straight to the airport. It was a first for me to be doing this, like flying out and going to another part of the Philippines. But I mean, it’s not everyday that you get the chance to actually fly out to Manila to meet your cousin along with a very popular band (Metro Station) so me and Eugene just decided to go since it’s once in a lifetime experience. (sorta)

When we arrived in Manila, me and my brother started to feel a little shitty since my mom and sister were kinda mad at us for actually going on the trip since they were so worried that we might get lost or swindled. Thankfully, my uncle was there right when we arrived at the NAIA. He picked us up and we decided to head straight to Alabang Town Center since my cousin said Metro Station is performing there and that he’ll be assisting them.

We arrived at ATC and told our uncle that we’ll just contact him when we need to go home. Me and Eugene headed into the mall and were extremely clueless about the entire layout and were confused about where to go. I asked a guard in tagalog where to find the concert hall and he pointed it to us. We headed there and saw Ranel on stage and waved at him. He saw us and told the guard to let us in.

We were surprised to see our cousin once again. It’s been over 7 years since we last seen him so it was really nice to see him again. He let us stay at the side and we just watched the show. Got to really see the band up close since we were so near the stage. Here’s the video we took of the bands performance. Metro Station performing at Alabang Town Center

It was really cool. After the performance, Ranel told us to meet him at the Intercontinental Hotel and he’ll get us dinner there. So me and Eugene took a taxi there. Our driver was nice and we didn’t have to pay that much for the ride. We got to the hotel and headed to the poolside area with Ranel. I was surprised to see the band hanging out just across us inside a gazeebo or hut I think. XD We took the oppertunity to hangout and talk with our cousin since it’s been so long. We did some catching up and he introduced us to some of the band members. He introduced us to Blake and Mason. I got to talk about video games with Mason which was pretty cool. I’m just so happy I got to meet the band without all the annoying screaming tween girls. XD I was treated to some REALLY nicely made food. It was exquisite. My brother got a club sandwich and I got some BBQ and a Pina Colada. Their Pina Colada tasted amazing. XD

After hanging out, me and my brother contacted our uncle and headed back home to Pasig. We were talking about how much fun we had and how cool everything went. The next day, we planned on heading to the mall since we had less than 7 hours left in Manila.

We headed to SM Megamall and to my surprise, there was a Tekken 6 Tournament being held! I was like what are the chances of that happening! XD I was so surprised and happy. I even got to see the creator of Tekken himself which was so cool along with a bunch of other filipino hardcore Tekken players. I was just wowed by everything. I even got to play Tekken 6 BR for the first time at the ground floor of Megamall B. I got my brother to record a noobish match of me which was nice. And another surprise is that I got to meet my chatmate and challenge him to about 10 matches in Tekken which was really unexpected and fun. I was really shocked that all this happened in like 24 hours. XP After playing I ate at Tokyo Tokyo with my brother and his girlfriend. We talked a bit then we had to head back to the airport since our flight was in an hour. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Being able to meet my cousin after so long, seeing the band Metro Station in person, witnessing the Tekken 6 Tournament and seeing the creator of Tekken along with meeting my chatmate online and playing a few matches against him made everything seem so great. I’m really happy I got the chance to do this. It’s really the break I needed just before school starts. I’m so thankful for the whole experience.

Yesterday, Chris let me try out a Shisha. I was kinda curious about it and I was wondering if it was as harmful and cigar smoking. I did some research and realized it’s actually a past time that many people in Germany do. From teens to adults, everyone does Shisha in Germany. He showed me how to put in the tabacco and foil then the charcoal. I was able to take a bit in and it was pretty nice. Not strong at all (he said the one I’m trying is shitty) LOL so I can’t determine what is good or bad tabacco yet. Overall it was a nice first try. Can’t wait to try more at the next big party or whichever. XD

Today as we were roaming around school, we stumbled upon a Bat in broad daylight! XD It was seemingly helpless on the floor and it looked really weird. It was swimming in a tiny puddle and it was screeching loudly. It was pretty freaky but it was funny when my friends decided to give it a Nova chip. Looks like the bat gots da munchies, too. (@_@);
