Sadly, my college friends are just graduating one by one. Dont get me wrong, I'm happy for them for finishing school but I miss having them around, especially those who have been close to me. I miss all the serious talks and the goofing around. We used to be more or less 20 in the group.. and now there's just half of us left. It's a good thing we all have similar schedules. Some of us still get to hang out. :)
I'm still missing.......... ♥
Anyway, I want to watch the Pyrolympics held here in Manila! Its an international fireworks display competition, if I'm not mistaken. I'm so looking forward to watching that. I didn't really go out during new year's eve so I didn't witness any fireworks except for the one shown on TV and the low-budget fountain lit by my neighbor. People say the fireworks in the Pyrolympics have visual effects on the water.. since this competition is held by the Manila Bay. Amazing. :) I want to watch it!! I've even tried joining this raffle to win tickets.. CLICK HERE if you're interested in joining too! :)
School has officially started.. I'll try to blog as often as I can.. but, it'd be mostly ranting...
Today's an awesome day. It's Jesus' birthday, why shouldn't it be, right? I had some peace... I freed my mind from all the burdensome thoughts I've been having. I had a calm and happy heart. ♥ Something I haven't had for the longest time.
Last night, my bestfriend called me on my cell around 1am. We haven't talked/seen each other for a couple of months now. I miss that guy. When I'm with him, everything's just less serious and less complicated. Though at times I get irritated with his stubborn and wacky antics, but he still never fails to make me smile. :) I guess that's just what I love about him. Its effortless. He gives me a natural high. I really had fun catching up and making up for all the lost time. :)
I got to chat with my Bishie earlier today too! She's been my highschool bestfriend. We used to be more like sisters. We wrote each other looong letters even if we were in the same class, not to mention, even seatmates! Since she moved to New York though, we sort of drifted away (communication-wise). College took away some of our time and we've met new friends. If there was a chance we're both online and not busy (rare), we'd IM each other to have our usual how-are-you's. :) Anyway, we did some catching up awhile ago.. :) I'm thankful. She's actually the one who got me into blogging, chatting.. all the internet stuff. Hahaha.. what a great influence :) I miss her! She was the closest one to me in highschool. I know a lot has changed. We have our differences.. but despite all that, I'm grateful we remain good, if not the best, friends.. in short, BISHIES. ♥ We'll stick by that. I'll be ninang when she has her kids.. Haha. Got that saved here! :) No escape! I'll be looking forward to it.
Look who I found underneath our Christmas tree this morning.. hahaha.. its Pepper! :) She probably thinks she's a gift. Hmm.. she's indeed a gift to me. For the past 5 months, she keeps me sane. uhhh, except the times when I find myself talking to her. Haha! She keeps me off the emo mode. :P I hope dogs dont have thoughts, she'd definitely find me weird. Hehe.. I heart pepper! She's a baby! A very spoiled one.
It's the simple things that make life worthwhile.♥Happy birthday, Jesus. Though I know its your birthday, I think I've had wonderful
giftsblessings today. :) Thank You so much.
We have to have these regular coffee breaks when we're already working, okay? :) As you would put it, ALAVEEEET! ♥
I'm not even done blogging, but since I have to start working on our Ad campaign for tomorrow.. I'm gonna stop right about now. :P
There was a small Starbucks booth in our
campus. They were giving away free tastes samples of the Gingerbread Latte
frappuccino.. They had these small Starbucks Christmas-y cups. As in, SMALL! I really wanted more!! I've been craving for Starbucks for the past few days but I haven't had the money to buy me a cup.. sobrang bitin!
I think Elaine could tell I wanted more.. :) It was really good. I love
Toffee Nut Latte.. but if you want something less sweet, with a touch
of cinnamon.. Gingerbread Latte is the way to go. :) I recommend it!
Not that I'm a coffee expert.. but It was good. Oh, coffee is bliss. :)
After school (yesterday), we went to glorietta to buy things for our (social marketing) exhibit today, which didn't push through. So we just strolled around anyway. We never get sick of Glorietta. Hahaha! Elaine and I got these funny tags.. She got the one with "I <3 Dorks" and I got this "Drama Queen" tag.. :) I think these tags were made especially for us. Haha! It came in my favorite color too!
No school today! There's an incoming "super typhoon" that will hit Manila tonight. I like the fact that classes were suspended since it means that I dont have to cram on our marketing exhibit, but the typhoon does scare me. The last one (typhoon milenyo) damaged a whole lot of billboards, houses, roads, signages, and trees. I dont think a Part 2 would be a good sight. We've just recovered. I just pray that everyone would be far from harm's way. Its's not raining yet, but I can feel the cool gust of wind through the windows.
Despite the possible effects of the storm, I'm still thankful that I'm void of school stress today. Which also means, that next week... "sound of thunder* is HELL WEEK. =/
I'm craving for coffee right now.. starbucks! starbucks! I have yet to complete the stickers for my Sparkhope coupon to get a planner.. but thats not really the point. I just want to sip a hot cup of toffee nut latte.. hmmm.. *closes eyes, sniffs, then sips* Ok, that was kind of weird. Anyway, I just slept the whole afternoon today. Was I productive or what? Instead of trying to shoo away negative thoughts, I opted to just sleep through them. Thing is, what happens when you wake up? Hah.
I'm starting to hate friendster (hate is such a
strong
word). The one time I decide to check it... it almost made me cry. I'd
delete my account but my efforts in uploading things there
would be deemed useless, so I'm considering keeping it. I know it has
served a great purpose to some of my friends like Miko and Ian, but this is just
me (no offense meant, guys.) I admit, it's quite my fault for accessing
others' accounts but I guess I'd rather blame its existence. It makes
the world a lot smaller.. but what if you need the distance?
Agh. I'm full of negative vibrations. *woooshaaah* I do need coffee!!
