Haha. It's been a week since I finished writing the speech. It's almost been a week since Unang Lipad and since I went with the Bukeki boys to Kopi Roti and got all hyper there. Ahh one week! Sorry, i'll be full of the "it's beens." Graduation high, i guess.
Congratulations to all my batchmates who really deserved to graduate! :) bwahahahah. If you're my batchmate, you'd understand.
I'm so proud of everyone. I'm also proud of those who got awards and stuff. :) Well-deserved! :P Haha.
ISYU was just the BEST! WOOHOO!

| BETTER TOGETHER |
[26 Mar 2006|04:32pm] |
There is no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia tone loving
Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Why are we here and where do we go
And how come it's so hard
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing
It's always better when we're together
Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
And all of these moments just might find a way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be, we'll sit beneath the mango tree now
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together (mmm)
I believe in memories, they look so, so pretty when I sleep
And when I wake up, you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together

| Seasons of Love |
[26 Mar 2006|10:09am] |
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets?
This year, I measured it
with how many times the batch cheered "Asul"
the smiles, hugs and kisses of my beloved batch mates
the countless and priceless
expressions of love from friends
and admirable mentors.
Haha. Graduate na!
I'll never forget how our batch cheered "Asul!" for the last time in school...
we cheered it once everyone was out in the MRA lobby.
By gum.
Gotta say, "I love my batch!"

| Bell Crickets |
[24 Mar 2006|08:46pm] |
It's this time of my life wherein the Japanese story that Tan introduced to me actually comes into play. The people whom I thought were my bell crickets turn out to be... just insects and those insects turn out to be the bell crickets.
Wise words from a wise woman: Maybe you can take the back seat but still make that person feel that you're there for her/him.

| Red Plaid for the Last Time |
[24 Mar 2006|08:24pm] |
Today was our LAST time to wear the RED PLAID skirt, white blouse and red tie. Whatta day. And what was even more fun, though it was sandwiched by singing practice, the "palaman" was a a three-hour recess-lunch. HAHA from 10am - 1pm. WOOHOO! Spent it with a lotta people. Barkada and lunch crew.
Today was the last time to ride with Mika and Mirei going to school and the last time to ride with Mirei going home from school (Mika rode with Sabs). It was none of the extraordinary... and it's one of those things that became special because it remained constant. Nothing special was planned, which I guess makes it special as i look back on it.
Enough with the lasts though.
The early evening was spent with Sabs in Katips! :) Met up with her at around 6pm in Starbucks. As "semi-planned," we walked around Ateneo with our bevs. Haha. Super fun. Ang daming kwento. And feeling talaga namin college na. We reached Bell field and went back to the overpass. OH and we were both wearing red. Tapos ang funny because as we were going up the stairs, two people in red were going down and another one was behind us wearing red also! Haha!!! AC day? :P
Sabs's dad picked her up while i met up with my mom in National. Ahee.
It's been a week since the ball!
SAAAABBSSSSS SALAMAT!

[21 Mar 2006|07:05pm] |
Haha, undergrads are writing about their summer vacation already. GAHK i only feel summer in the afternoons when we're home from grad practice. They really should have just made it half-day instead of making it whole with an hour break for recess and an hour and a half for lunch. HAHA.
Today was something different though. As Dane herself said, "I think today's a special day, we just don't feeeeel iiiittt!" Haha true. We had our LEGACY MASS today. We were inducted into the Assumption Alumnae Association. Yep, old girls. Official ones on Saturday.
We got our AAA cards. Haha. And Report Cards. Oh and of course, the Assumption Medallion. NAKS TIGAS. haha. Our group met Sr. Clara. She was so funny. She showed us who Mother Rose was in the painting. Cuz really, i don't want to leave Assumption not knowing who Mother Rose was. I mean, we have an auditorium for the woman. :))
Aww I went home with Ysa! :) We hung around in her house for a while then we went to Ateneo to reserve our slots. FUNFUNFUN, we saw Pat B, Sam, Pia and Cam there too. COLLEGE NA!
haha...
What a day.

| Batch SONG :) we need a title! |
[16 Mar 2006|10:43pm] |
Now I've looked back
At the memories
Together we had made
And I still see myself
Beside you walking
Down the same road
Now it's time to walk away
To face life unafraid
I'm only glad
You taught me how to fly
Reliving the beautiful yesterdays
Looking to better tomorrows
But here and now,
We say goodbye
To the brilliant stars with
Phenomenal passions
They illuminate our kaleidoscope skkies
Now we pray that our constellations
May burn brighter
With each step of action,
We take for the Lord
Knowing we are
Chorus:
Captains of our fates,
Masters of our souls
Willing to let go
Ready to move on
Making waves, breaking barricades
For though we're not always unafraid
We respond with love
Guided from above
We reached infinity together
We made history
And although it'll never be
Like this again
Singing this with you
Knowing you are here
Is enough to keep my soul so stron
Now as one, we become...
Chorus:
Captains of our fates,
Masters of our souls
Willing to let go
Ready to move on
Making waves, breaking barricades
For though we're not always unafraid
*We respond with love
(I act on! I pass on!)
Guided from above
(I act on! I pass on!)
Repeat *
End:
Love is the passion
That drives our action
(Note: our Gr7 batch song goes something like this:
When we look back at the memories
Together we have made
And I see myself beside you
Walking down the same road
I'm glad to know that you are there
I don't have to be afraid
'Cause you are there...
The fun we had,
the times we shared
The days we spent together
But now that's gone
And things have changed
Never be the same
But then again,
perhaps it can
in a different way
The way that we were
The way that we are
Who knows who I am?
Who knows who I'll be?
Let's wait and see
Just you and me..)
So basically,
we just deepened our batch song.
And it's amazing because IT HAPPENED. :)
especially this part:
"but now that's gone and things
have changed..
never be the same.
but then again
perhaps it can in a different way"

| The Ides of March |
[16 Mar 2006|09:52pm] |
I loooove my batch! As in I super super do!!!
Yesterday, we finally finished the batch song!
And today, the teachers approved it and they looooove it as well.
It's so us.:)
Around 1/8 of the batch composed it and helped. WAHOO.
If there's anyone that made me fall in love a thousand times over and over, it's the batch. This past week alone made me love em deeper. Haha can i just share, while finishing the batch song, of course we were preparing for the Seniors' Night tomorrow.
Monday:
some people brought glasses and many brought shoeboxes
Mirei and i bought canvass cloths
Tuesday:
The invites came and we people there in the room of section 3 share a "secret."
Maggie, Cielo U, Cielo N, Jan Abbey, MiaMac, and Boleng sewed the backdrop.
Pata, Chris and I went to Glorietta to get the award pins. We saw Tina there and she went na with us to buy ribbons. Hahhahah we encountered this woman we now call "si 13 girl" with the actions. Then went to Chris's house in Maga where we were supposed to make the backdrop but Krisywissy was so naganahan to make it herself so she brought it home. HAAHAH. So Colleen, Pata, Chris, Tina and I did the award pins.
Wednesday:
Did rounds with Mel.
Met with the parents! Ahhh! thank you for the lanterns!
Thursday:
From 11am - 8pm --> ball stuff!
AHH i'm excited na! :)
Ides of March was yesterday and it'll always be remembered because of the batch song.
16th of March is more special: Pata's birthday! Happy birthday, my love. :)

[06 Mar 2006|04:11pm] |
1. Last Batch Assembly in the MPH (i had to exchange with first year just to have that time!:) ) I showed a powerpoint presentation with pictures of the batch which served as a segway to the seniors' night announcements and the hope for the batch to accept whatever happens -- good or bad.
2. Last English class. My eyes are still kinda swollen because of it. We had an alien in the room (haha, meg i love you) but this did not stop Mrs. Eala from saying truths about our class and how much she and Ms. Villafania look forward to having classes with us. They said that there's a different atmosphere and it is where they feel most loved. I mean, hello! Who else would greet them with, "Yo yo yo what's up Ms. V and Mrs. E!?" or "Good day, your Majesties" or "Namaste. The god in me greets the god in you, Mrs. Eala!"
Basta iyakan session. I love English and I looove Mrs. Eala and Ms. V haha.. As i said there, there are two things that have kept me going or have kept me strong to go to school and those are: (1) the batch and class (2) and English. If the need arises to take a break from a hell week, Tuesday's the best day to be absent because there's no English. Yup I shared that.
Then i also said, "If you remember, Mrs. Eala, when you dismissed us last Friday with five minutes to spare, nobody stood up to go. For the longest time, we were just sitting there and I guess it's because we didn't want to be anywhere else but.. here (AV1) where we felt and feel the love."
A lot of my classmates thanked her for being there for us, especially this year when we didn't really feel the support and love from our CAs. (Personally, i think my CAs are Ms. Esqui and Mrs. Eala) When we had our Intrams, who were there? Everyone except for our CAs. Mrs. Eala, Ms. Villafania, Ms. Esqui wore our batch shirts. Ms. Leah and Mama B cheered for us at one point.
Mrs. Eala said that we're "the batch with a heart." Ms. Villarruz said that also last year.. and also our CAs last year. Haiaiaiai.
Our class, for the past 5 weeks, have been greeting the teachers according to the theme for the week (we had Indian, gangsta, Japanese, Princess, and what's the other one?). Today we greeted the normal way. But when Mrs. Eala and Ms. Villafania said, "Goodbye and thank you girls!" our class said, "No goodbyes and thank you teachers."
Anyway, lower year levels, Mrs. Eala's a "b blank blank blank h." She wants you to know that. Haha!!
I will miss high school. I'll forever remember this day. But as Ysa says, we have to let go. :)
Sir Rod's favorite batch is ________(he didn't say.. he just smiled). aww. you guessed it right or else i wouldn't even mention it. Haha.

| Email from an Undisclosed Receipient |
[05 Mar 2006|09:41am] |
Dear all,
Hat's off to the author of this fine piece of work....
Anyhow, read on... Let's get to a positive tipping point!
Open Letter to Our Leaders
Dear Tita Cory, Senators, Congressmen, Businessmen, La Salle Brothers,Media people, Leftists,
and all Bleeding Hearts/Shouts Out There:
I am angry. And I know that there are many out there who are angrier than I
am for the same reason. And that reason is simple. I am sick and tired of
all you guys claiming to speak for me and many Filipinos. I feel like
screaming every time you mouth words about fighting for my freedom and my
rights, when you obviously are just thinking about yours. You tell me that
the essence of democracy is providing every citizen the right to speak his
or her mind and make his or her own informed judgments, but you yourselves
do not respect my silence and the choices I and many others have made. In
other words, your concept of democracy is limited to having your rights and
your freedoms respected, at the expense of ours.
I am utterly flabbergasted that you still do not get it: we already
responded to your calls, and our response has been very clear - we chose
not
to heed your calls to go to EDSA or to Fort Bonifacio not because we do not
love our country or our freedoms or our rights, but precisely because we
love our country even more. Because quite frankly, we are prepared to lose
our freedoms and our rights just to move this country forward. You may
think
that is not correct, you can tell me all the dire warnings about the evils
of authoritarian rule, but quite frankly all we see is your pathetic
efforts
to prop up your cause. You tell me that you are simply protecting my
freedoms and my rights, but who told you to do that? I assure you that when
I feel that my rights and my freedoms are at a peril, I will stand up and
fight for them myself.
You tell us that GMA is not the right person to lead this country because
she has done immoral acts. As someone who sees immorality being committed
wantonly in many ways every day and by everyone (yes, including the ones
you
do), I may have become jaded. But you have not been able to offer me any
viable alternative, while GMA has bent over backwards many times to
accommodate you while continuing to work hard despite all the obstacles and
the brickbats you have thrown her way. From where I sit, she is the one who
has been working really hard to move this country forward while all of you
have been so busy with one and only one thing: to make sure she does not
succeed. So forgive me if I do not want to join you in your moral pissing
contest. Forgive me if I have chosen to see things from another
perspective.
You say she is the problem. I say, we are the problem, more to the point, I
think you are a bigger problem than she is. Taking her out may solve part
of
the problem, but that leaves us with a bigger problem: you. That is right,
YOU!
While I felt outraged that she called a Comelec official during the
elections and that she may have rigged the elections, I have since then
taken the higher moral ground and forgiven her. Yes my dear bishops, I have
done what you have told me to do since I was a child, which you say is the
Christian and moral thing to do: forgive. Especially since she has asked
for
forgiveness and has tried to make amends for it. Erap certainly has not
apologized and continues to be defiant, continuing to insult us everyday
with his protestations. Cory has not apologized for her incompetence but we
have forgiven her just the same because like GMA, she has worked hard after
all.
I know you do not think that GMA's apology was not enough, or that she was
insincere, or that that apology should not be the end of it, but please
spare me the hypocrisy of telling me that you do so for the sake of
protecting the moral fiber of society. The real reason is because you smell
blood and want to go for the kill.
Well, I have news for you. I do not like her too. I did not even vote for
her. I voted for Raul Roco. But as much as I do not like her, I do not like
you even more. I may not trust her, but guess what; I do not trust you even
more.
You know why? Because all you do is whine and sabotage this country. You
belittle every little progress we make; conveniently forgetting that it is
not just GMA who has been working so hard to achieve them. Every single
day,
we keep the faith burning in our hearts that this country will finally pull
itself out of the mess and we work so hard to do that. Every little
progress
is the result of our collective effort, we who toil hard everyday in our
jobs. Yet, you persist in one and only thing: making GMA look bad in the
eyes of the world and making sure that this country continues to suffer to
prove your sorry point. In the process, you continue to destroy what we
painstakingly try to build. So please do not be surprised that I do not
share your cause. Do not be surprised that we have become contemptuous of
your antics. You have moved heaven and earth to destroy her credibility,
you
have convened all kinds of fora and hearings and all you have done is test
our patience to the core. For all your effort, you have only succeeded in
dragging us further down. I say enough.
Don't get me wrong. I am not asking that we take immorality lying down, or
that we let the President get away with anything illegal. But you have
tried
to prove your accusations all these time and you have not succeeded, so it
is time to let things be. Besides, you are doing something immoral as well
if not utterly unforgivable. The Magdalo soldiers are consorting with the
communists - the same people who have been trying to kill democracy for
years. Cory has been consorting with Erap and the Marcoses.
So please wake up and take a reality check. In the absence of true and
genuine moral leadership, many of us have decided to cast our lot with the
President, even if we do not like her. A flawed leader is better than
scheming power hungry fools who can not even stand up for their convictions
in the face of an impending arrest.
Your coup attempts and the denials that you have consequently made only
underscore what we think is true: you are spineless and unreliable people
whose only defense is to cry suppression when your ruse do not work. You
are
like bullies who taunt and provoke, but cry oppression when taken to task
for your cruelty.
I would have respected you if you took the consequences of your actions
like
real heroes: calmly and responsibly instead of kicking and screaming and
making lame excuses. You say you are willing to die for us, that you do
all
these things for the country and the Filipino, but you are not even willing
to go to jail for us.
Come on, you really think we believe that you did not want to bring down
the
government when that is the one and only thing you have been trying to do
in
the last many months?
We love this country and we want peace and progress. Many among us do not
give a f*&k who sits at Malacanang because we will work hard and do our
share to make things work. If you only do your jobs, the ones that we
elected you to do, things would be a lot simpler and easier for every one.
The events during the weekend only proved one thing. You are more dangerous
and a serious threat to this country than GMA is. We have seen what you are
capable of doing - you are ready to burn this country and reduce everything
to ashes just to prove your point. If there is something that we need
protection from, it is protection from you.
