Repeated Experiences

..have only one purpose: to teach the thing you refuse to learn.

i was just pondering on that quote and thought it was so true.

Random Thoughts:

-is timing really everything? wala lang..naalala ko lang...and thought of some personal experiences..

-nakakatuwa si Sir Gani kahapon...he was teaching us life lessons. nagsimula sa mga nag-drop na classmates namin..sabi niya "sa buhay, marami talagang trials, pero you have to push through to the end...dropping is not an option." basta parang ganun. yung pagkakasabi pa kasi niya..very natural..tipong nararamdaman mo rin na sobrang pinaniniwalaan niya yung sinasabi niya. galing. cliche na nga pero when you really think about it..totoo nga..

-Asiafest this coming week. Hassle...pero fun naman. Sana mataas makuha naming grade.

-MWF, Star and I were basking on the blessings of other people. Haha! Poverty.

Monday evening: Isa't kalahating oras na kaming nagbabanggit ng mga masasarap kainin. We're hungry, and we have no money. Ahaha! Ron and Kuya JC graced us with "giniling" for dinner. Sarap ng luto ni Ron!! Nabusog talaga kami.

Wednesday evening: We had pasta for dinner courtesy of Aaron! Busog kung busog. Spaghetti na tuna yung sahog instead of meat. It was our first time to try it...it was good.

Later: Si Kuya Jeng naman. Mamaya pa lang so I can't say anything pa.

Pinagmuni-munihan ko kagabi...This though came out: "Ang scavengers namin! Ahaha!!" But really, more sa pagpayag ng mga taong to na magpakain, more than sa effort nila sa pagluto, more than the great tasting dishes they made..my heart was overjoyed by their company. I mean, you could just scrap the food..we'd sit with these people and just talk. It's them and the time we had together...because that moment, and the person they were at that time, can never be again.

-Miss ko na mama at papa ko. I want to hug them so tight.

-Excited bumaba, at excited sa birthday celeb ni Manuel. May starbucks drink pa naman sana ako pag di ako bumaba sa QC until sembreak..tsk! But it's Manuel hahahaha!!

-sembreak naaaaaa!! it's nearing my frontdoor. love it.

-nu kaya mangyayari sa sembreak? Im excited to be with my friends sa bahay.

-last thought: kailangan ko na mag-research. Bummer. Ahaha! joke lang.

Happy Days

may mga araw na talagang MASAYA.

isa to sa mga 'yon!

prayer meet, asaran, klase (funny na role playing), macadamia nut drink, mocha cake, walang klase (teacher's evaluation lang), tambay sa lobby, tawa, klase ulit (report lang,at balita tungkol sa field trip, net.

simpleng mga bagay, sobrang saya...sa dahilang hindi ko masyadong maipaliwanag.

hahaha!!

Called to Believe, Called to Belong

There are times when we really have to step back, take a good look at things, and enjoy them.

Lately I've been somewhat apathehic of things going on in ENCM..i was like "another activity? " i was tired of so many things. but then this morning until after lunch, i thought about things, assessed myself, questioned the "basics" once more...

What brought the group together?

What are we doing?

And why do we stay?

I didn't have to think for five seconds, and the thought made me smile. Okay,okay..i know..

LOVE.

Pastor Steve's preaching is now becoming a classic. But really, at the end of it all..love talaga eh!

The word love is so big and abstract if you ask me.

But how can one not have an inkling of understanding of it when love is personified?!

1. Jesus

2. My Family

3. My Spiritual family

I'd talk of the the third.

As we were playing a game a while ago, amidst all the cheering and laughing ang strategizing, it suddenly hit me: "crap, i love these people!"

Worse part is, i love loving them.

And i am not one to complain.

The Thing About Oversleeping

I put the blame to our late-night talks.

No, not really.

Star woke me up in an unusual voice this morning. "5 to 8 na!!" she said hurriedly. I was like "Really? I just slept moments ago." We were supposed to attend the prayer meeting at 6:30..but missed. I went to school for my first class only to find an empty room. Good, no classes, and I find no other reason why other than the BOR meeting.

I'm tired. I gave myself the liberty of writing a blog entry before I finish my paper for Hist114 which is due later at 4pm. After this paper I know I'll be able to breathe...and finally, after two weeks, get enough sleep.

Define enough. Haha!

I remember a quote which Aaron shared to me weeks ago:

"There is no amount of stress that prayers and chocolate cannot fix"

If that's so...then I need one large Toblerone now.

I have in my mind tons of things but none of it is about what I am supposed to act on right now.

Just to get Started

finally i was convinced by people to have this account used. peer pressure. huh?! I actually succumb to peer preasure?! yeah..sure. haha! well, i thought it out a bit..and decided to stop, or at least lessen, making Star my diary.

I'm here at my cousin's house and the "Mahna Mahna" is in the background. I completely don't know what it is...it's just fun. YumYum is sooo much enjoying it. The video is unwinding after hours of doing a power point presentation for my research in PolSci14. See..there it goes.."Mahna Mahna"...makes me feel like I never have to think seriously again. Not that I like that thought.

Would be posting lots real soon. But for now, let me just get this account started.
