| High School friends.. |
[26 Sep 2008|01:42pm] |
High school friends can never be replaced. That's probably one of the things I have learned after a year and a half in college. I may have gained new friends but my old high school friends still remain as some of my most precious treasures. It's probably because the relationship that I have forged with my high school friends have been tested and further strengthened over the years we spent together in high school. Why do I miss my highschool friends so much? It's probably because it's easier to share personal problems and experiences to them. I've grown comfortable around them enough to share even my flaws without the fear of being judged. Besides that, they're the ones who have really gotten to know the real me. There's no need for pretending when we're around eachother. We can be frank yet still know that the things being said are not meant to hurt and destroy but rather to improve oneself.
Perhaps given more time with my new friends, I'd probably able to form similar friendships.. just maybe.
Even with the presence of new college friends, I can't help but feel the need to keep my old high school friends (you guys know who you are, kakakulit ko lang sa ilan sa inyo kaninang umaga, hahaha.. ). That's probably one of the reasons why every once in a while, I'd invite some highschool friend to sleep over at my place, watch a movie, or simply have lunch outside. Most of my close highschool friends are all in the same university with me but due to the clashing schedule and relatively big population of the school, it's seldom that I see them around campus. The early morning meetings we used to have last year are now gone since our classes start either super early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Besides that, schoolwork also gets in the way. Haha.. although, of course, we can't simply put studies aside. Let's just make up for it over the sembreak. ^_~

| TnT |
[26 May 2008|06:22am] |
I woke up really early today. I was so excited to check the TnT boards for the result of the 2nd Interview. I'm not entirely sure if "excited" is the right word. It was a mixture of that and nervousness. My interview two weeks ago seemed such a disaster that I stopped hoping to be part of the TnT crew.
This morning, I drove my little sister to her review center and then headed to Ateneo to check the boards. I was not expecting much --- just probably to see my friends' names there. When I saw my name on the list, a sudden overwhelming feeling of bliss took over me. I was so surprised and happy to have passed!
I guess that means more work for me to do and definitely fun-filled weeks ahead! ^_^

| 10 random stuff about me... (tag) |
[09 May 2008|10:35pm] |
I was tagged by a dear friend, so here goes...
The rules:
- Each starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
- Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
The ten random facts/habits:
- I am in love with anything that has strawberries in it!
 - Although Ironman's been showing in cinemas for a couple of weeks now, I still haven't gone out to watch it. ~_~ I wanna watch!
- I play the piano atleast an hour a day. It keeps me from thinking about things I'd rather forget.
- I never forget to put on the seatbelt when I'm driving. My car makes this annoying sound if I don't.
- My little doggy often sleeps with me, especially when he has just taken a bath and smells really nice.
- I still keep my Neopets account and do the dailys even if I don't play the games there often anymore. (My Neopet account is jyllyan.)
- I dream of having a happy family of my own in the future which consists of me, my husband, and children (preferably twins among them).
- I find it hard to sleep without my favorite stuffed toys beside me. My friends know who my cuddly loves are.
- I love kids. I don't think I'd ever grow too old to play games with them or find something that we both have in common. I honestly believe that there's a child in everyone.
- I miss someone so much that I always feel like crying.
I tag you...
- Bi-chan --- simply because I miss hearing from you
- Choupy --- I think there are still a lot of things about you that I do not know inspite of us being friends for more than 5 years.
- Lles --- one of my dearest friends, you don'tknow how much you (together with Bi and Choups) have helped me cope with all my problems.. this time around, I wanna listen to you.
- Kyra Alas --- because I know you have a lot of interesting things about yourself to share
- Kimmy Ang --- Just because I miss you!! *hugs*
- Missy --- I'm curious as to whether you're really leaving AdMU for UP. ~_~ I really pray that that isn't part of the 10 facts about you. I can't bear not seeing your smile.
- Kyle --- I wanna add to the long list of stuff you need to do. :)) Gomen.. pero I think this might make you smile, even a bit. :p
- Jick Adalia --- Marami na akong di alam tungkol sa'yo.. so I'm tagging you. ^_~
- Gian del Rosario --- because you're one of the people I enjoy being with.
- Edmund Soriano --- You're so far away! I wanna know what you've been up to lately. Hope to see you really soon. ^^

| It hurts... |
[09 May 2008|09:49am] |
I just had my other wisdom tooth removed this afternoon. The surgery was unexpectedly more painful than the more complicated previous extraction. I thought by now I'd be used to the pain. This time around though, it's way more difficult to bear.
The current physical pain though is the least of my problems right now... There are more painful things than having my tooth surgically removed. There's the pain of missing the ones you love, of longing to hear from them and never actually do, the disappointments from unmet expectations...
That kind of pain is different and one that is difficult to handle. What do you do with things like those? You can't just take mephenamic acid or have someone apply anesthesia to it.
Maybe the sole thing I can do is face it and accept it for what it is... Probably there's nothing I can do about it anyway.
