I know it’s too early to thank God for a wonderful summer, but I can not help it.
I had the most productive summer (as of the moment) ever! I originally planned being a complete beach bum but the heck, I applied for a summer job at PLDT. I sacrificed my last relaxed summer. (Because we will have our OJT next year)
Our training lasted for three weeks plus the ramp for 5 days. We had two sites, one in Sampaloc and the other one in Libertad. During those days, my body clock was like of a vampire – tulog sa umaga, gising sa gabi. At first, I was really lazy to continue whatever we were doing. I even had the thought of resigning. But thanks to my awesome wavemates, each session was filled of laughter and kalokohan.
We had an English training wherein I really enjoyed. Seriously. I now know how to pronounce the “hard to pronounce or shit I’m just guessing how to say this” states in the US. I had fun saying the Chicago. I now know how to properly do the Advil A/American a, drop jaw, short e/i/o and etc. Our trainer was the best. Because she gives us breaks that we really deserve (okay, guess what that means!). We even gave her a cake during our last day. That’s how we will miss her.
During our OPS training, we learned how to navigate the system. It was pretty boring and nerve wracking but there was an issue we will never forge — the case of the missing cellphone. I just really love to laugh whenever we talk about it. Whoever did that was a complete idiot!
Yadda yadda yadda. I do not want to talk about everything but I want to show a picture of my wavemates. They are the happiest, craziest and noisiest people I know.
So the ramp has already ended. All those graveyard shift, those seem to be endless calls, the laughters and the crazy moment I shall never forget. I miss you, guys.
PS
Our team leader looks like Aljur Abrenica and our OPS trainer looks like an artist (but I can not remember who). Hehe.
Ever since our class with her started, I knew we were going through hell. Oops. OA? Not really. If you’re one of my classmates, you’ll know why. Endless paperworks, activities and requirements. Not to mention, her prelim exam was out of this world… somehow.
Another reason to hate accounting:
Our final exam was scheduled a while ago, 1:00-2:00pm. But due to unexpected power supply failure, it was moved tomorrow. G R E A T – NOT. We have to go to school tomorrow for our exam. I have a feeling we’re the only ones left in the building tomorrow. I know I shouldn’t blame our professor pero lahat na lang ata ng kamasalanan nangyayari sa course niya.
And I end this venting post.
I have to diet, btw. Lots of swimming activities this summer! Better make the best out of this.
On Finals
Posted on: March 25, 2011
Last day of finals on Monday. Say hello to 22 powerpoints for Accounting.
And I quote a random Engineering student. (Overheard)
Mga minor subjects naman talaga nagpapahirap sa atin eh.
I have to agree. 100%. Especially with accounting. Oh, I’m sorry, ma’am. But I am really trying to like your course, but, I can’t find a way to love (or even like) it. Maybe because of all the loads you’re giving us. We’re like Accountancy majors whenever we’re in her class.
MA’AM Y U LIKE DAT?!
Flashback~
Monday, no classes of course. Review day. Statistics for Breakfast! I guess it lasted until dinner.
Tuesday. (First kill!)
Statistics, you broke my heart. (But good thing I passed)
I quote our professor last week
Bawal index card. Madali lang exam.
Madali ang exam your face! We expected something else. Of course, we know his style. We even memorized the formulas because index cards were not allowed. But with some luck, our proctor allowed us to use and it was indicated at the instructions “Formula book and calculators are allowed.”. We celebrated because of this but when we received the paper, we were all like 
I don’t need to type anything. I don’t want to remember.
Wednesday. FUUU!
Whoever arranged our schedule is very insensitive. Why? CS102 and IT101. Are you kidding us? Chapters 4-8 for CS102 and Chapters 5-7, 13-14 plus a powerpoint presentation for IT101. If you have seen our eyebags that day… you’ll feel our depression and stress.
IT101 exam was…. hard. What’s new. JFET MOSFET DMOS… you get my point.
In short, ASDFGHELLJKL.
I loved CS102. I got a high score! Studying early pays off. Yay for me.
Thursday.
Fyeah.
ICS7. CAKE.
And now, I’m currently relaxing. Give me a break. It’s my birthday tomorrow. I’m turning NINETEEN. Last year as a teenager. Breaks my heart!
Have You Ever Wondered?

Why would a person hate you for no reason? You’re not even talking. You’re not even spending time with each other. So, why?
Then, all of a sudden, his/her friends would feel the same. Peer pressure? Influence?
Whatever that crap is, maturity please.
I’m tired of all the issues people are giving me. I may not react to those, but it hurts me. Just so you know, you’re not only ruining my mood, my life, but you’re also ruining my reputation.
I just hope people would be mature enough not to believe everything they hear. Do not believe on second hand passed information.
The Truth?

Those who don’t like you, will never believe in any word you’ll say. It’s simple as that. Even if you tell them the truth, they will always find a way to criticize you (even those small things) or even bring down your reputation.
On the other hand, there are those people who would be easily influenced by those who hates you. If they are mature enough, they will become neutral. Or before judging you based on second hand information, they should ask you first. They should keep in mind that they should know both sides before making any judgement.
Friends will be friends, but at some point, they should know their stand. It’s not because you are friends with someone, you’ll always find him/her correct. Friends are there to give advices.
True friends will slap you in the face and hug you afterwards.
Life is hard.
Karma’s a bitch.
Be very careful.
Trust people who are worth it — if you’re already close friends, that doesn’t assures you that he/she won’t back stab you.

When we were just training for our CAT before our last school year in high school, our adviser told us to get ready for all criticisms we may receive when we’re already in the position. She also added that no matter how right you are, once a person doesn’t like you, whatever you say or do, you’ll always be wrong.
A few weeks after the school year and CAT training has started, I realized that, even though you are right and you are just really implementing the rules, those who doesn’t want to follow (or respect you and the rules) will surely find a way to say a lot of awful things. Not only against you, but against your “team”.
I just thought that drama would end in high school. I expected to have mature people in college, but in some point… I was wrong.
Fighting for what is right is never an easy task. You may get hurt and may even cry. People will always find a way to criticize you. But you should always hold you head up high. What matters most is you know the truth.
I don’t believe in failure, because simply saying you’ve failed, you’ve admitted you attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fall in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them

As I was chatting with my friend about her failed exam in her dream school, a lot of things have been popping out of my head.
- Cry if you must
- Learn to accept the result of the exam
- Pick out your second best option
and my favorite
4. That may be your dream school, but that school may not be the one for you.
I still believe everything happens for a reason. You may not have the chance to enter that school, but maybe there’s a reason behind it. You may not know it now, but you’ll surely discover it as you start your college life.
Hold your head up high. Smile. BE PROUD OF YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT.
Failing your entrance test in your dream university doesn’t really mean you’re stupid or you have studied/prepared less. 🙂
Accept and learn to enjoy your future school. That will surely help.
Maraming Namamatay Sa Maling Akala

Hindi naman literal. Pero maari naman.
Pinakamasakit sa lahat?
AKALA MO, M.U. kayo! O, ano? Nakakarelate ka na ba? Sige. Mainis ka lang. Alam kong mayroon ka ng gustong suntukin ngayon.
Pero bago ang lahat, simulan muna natin sa ganito.
M.U. — Malabong Usapan
Yung tipong parang kayo pero hindi naman. Nagkakatext. Nagkakasama. Nagkakausap.
Ano pa ba? AHH.
Naglalambingan. Kahit hindi mo alam kung lambingan nga ba ito o landian.
At dahil diyan sa paglalambingan slash paglalandian niyo, akala mo mayroon ng namamagitan sa inyo. Pinagkakatiwalaan mo na siya. Dahan dahan, nahuhulog ka na sa kaniya. Mapapaisip ka tuloy…
Ano nga ba mayroon sa atin?
Hay, nako. Kung ako sayo. Wag na wag ka muna mahuhulog hanggang hindi mo alam kung ano ba talagang namamagitan sa inyo.
Nako. Pwede ka nga palang magselos… pero wala ka nga lang karapatan.
Pwedeng pwede mo rin siya lambingin… kaso isipin mo baka may ibang lumalambing sa kaniya.
Napaparanoid ka na ba?
Tapos bigla mong malalaman na… may nanglalandi sa kaniya.
Gera ba gusto niya? ABA!
ABA! Teka, hindi naman siya sayo, hindi ba?
…
Nasaktan ka ba? Pero yung ang katotohanan. Malay mo, ikaw lang natuluyang nainlove sa kung ano man meron sa inyo. Sabi kong linawin muna!
E paano kung sabihin niya na normal lang pala yun sa kaniya?
Patay ka. Patay. Tignan mo! Normal lang pala eh. May pa-M.U. ka pang nalalaman.
Akala ko lang… Iba kasi siya sa akin. Akala ko lang pala yun.
Alam kong nasaktan ka. Direkta man o hindi, pinaasa ka pa rin niya, hindi ba?
Oo. At ang sakit sakit.
Tapos malalaman mo, may totoong ka-M.U. na siya. Tapos yung kakakilala pa lang niya. Taob ka?
Ako yung laging nasa tabi niya. Ako ‘tong lagi niyang kausap, katext at kasama. Ako yung laging nasa tabi niya. Tapos ipagpapalit lang niya ako?
Teka… hindi ka naman niya pinagpalit. Masakit man tanggapin. Inakala mo lang na M.U. kayo.
Namamangka Ka Ba Sa Dalawang Ilog?
Posted on: March 2, 2011
Mahal mo siya, pero taken ka na. Patay.
Hindi naman sa hindi ka na masaya dun sa isa, sadyang mas napapasaya ka lang nung dumating.
Ang problema nga lang, taken ka na. May bakod na. May kadena na.
Nagkakatext kayo ng patago. Nagkikita ng patago. Kapag kasama mo ang kasintahan mo, nasa isip mo pa rin siya. Aba, iba na yan.
Hijo, hija. Isipin mo muna ang ginagawa mo. Mas gugustuhin mo bang mawala na lang sila pareho? Masama mamangka sa dalawang ilog. Nakamamatay.
Hindi sa sinasabi ko na dyan ka na lang sa kasintahan mo, pero ang sa akin lang naman, kung kanino ka talaga tunay na masaya.
Sabi nga sa One More Chance,
Sometimes, love isn’t enough.
Ipagpipilitan mo pa ba ang sarili mo sa isang relasyon kahit alam mong hindi ka na masaya dito?
O papansinin mo tong bagong dumating na kakakilala mo pa lang at halos wala ka pang alam sa kaniya?
O aayusin mo muna ang buhay mo bago ka makapili sa kanilang dalawa?
Habang pinatatagal mo, mas nasasaktan ka, mas sinasaktan mo silang dalawa… kahit hindi alam nung isa na may iba.
Ayos buhay, habang hindi pa huli ang lahat.
You can’t choose who you love. But you choose whether or not you open your heart to love

True. Honestly, he was just a normal boy to me a few months back. He was just like any other boy in school. But now, he’ll always be the boy who stole my heart unexpectedly.
Happiest Valentine’s day for me. A three day celebration because:
1.) Sunday, Feb 13, I had to attend Mr. and Ms. Engineering’s Pageant
2.) Monday, Feb 14, he had classes until 7PM
3.) Tuesday, Feb 15, I had Org priorities
So, what happened exactly?
Sunday, I asked him if he wanted to watch the fireworks after the pageant. He said yes and asked me if I would like to eat first before rushing to the event.
Hello, Cellos and Good Burgers.
The usual food we eat when we’re outside his or my home. We rushed to UST because I had to give an award. I got the chance to see my White Light friends plus I met 3 TSITP candidates. 🙂 After the pageant, we went to the main field to watch the fireworks display. I guess that was meant to conclude the Engineering week. It didn’t last for 10-20 mins but I enjoyed it. We were planning to eat at an ice cream store but with some bad luck, it was already closed when we passed by.
Boo.
We had no choice but to go home. As I was getting off the car, he said,
“Happy Valentine’s day in advance”, plus with that “you know there’s something going on” smile. But, I didn’t assume. I took the shower and read his text, “Don’t sleep yet, please?”, it was already 11:40 and I still have classes tomorrow morning. I just opened my laptop and played PVZ. (Addict. Yes.) At exactly 12:00 he texted me the sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetest Valentine’s day message I have ever received.
Around 12:10, he texted me to go out of the house. As I was opening the gate, I saw him there. Standing. Smiling. (Blushing. Hehe.)
The sweetest thing ever.
He did that just to greet me Happy Valentine’s day plus to give me a white rose.
He’s making me feel like a little girl with a huge crush. Ftw.
Monday, I waited until 7PM because he had classes. Luckily, I helped a friend from 2-6, so I didn’t feel bored.
We just had dinner at Rodics. We ate there the same day last year. I think that was the first ever date. I don’t even know if I should call that a date. We were just friends back then.
*FLASHBACK*
Feb 14 @ UP Fair 2010
C: Saan tayo kakain?
S: Ewan. Kahit saan.
C: Rodics?
*ANOTHER FLASHBACK*
Feb 14 (Facebook)
S: Happy Single Awareness day!
C: Happy Single Awareness day din. 🙂
——— C: Pasingle single awareness day pa tayong nalalaman, tayo rin pala magkakatuluyan. 🙂 (Jan, 2011)
Tuesday, I just spent the rest of the day with him. 🙂
Simple but happy celebration. Having him is more than enough.
