Le Summer So Far

Spent the entire Holy Week praying. Reflecting. Just praying. Really, really praying. I really needed that time, methinks.


 Sister came to Manila for her cross-reg. On her first night here, brought her to Kyla's debut party as a "gift", aka a new friend. Friends here now confirm my claims she's the prettier Briones. I'm indifferent to that now.


 Enrolled in summer classes. Espanol 11, oye! So far all we do is talk about ourselves in Spanish, like what we plan to do tomorrow, or how to tell a friend how to recover from heartbreak, or on what our friends' occupations are and what they do. Mahjongg for PE is cool, I'm learning Chinese terms with DJ. The playing and strategizing comes natural--it's the easy part. The scoring is the one that's making me feel 0_o. The only thing I remember is "External Dragon", which I got in two games in a row. Our prof's kinda scary, I mean she's *notorious*. But we'll manage. It's hard though she's eternally pissed with a girl in class who has a surname that rhymes with mine. I really don't want to get on her bad side. I was kind of planning to lie low in class and just...play and win or something.


 "Employed" as a Director in Externals. It's kinda hard when your "boss" doesn't talk to you, and the only content of your conversations are: 1) Thank you/Thanks; 2) Ok/Okies; 3) Update me/I'll update you. Yeah, it can work in the corporate world. But not in an org. And not with someone who's your friend. Or was. I cannot stress it enough, yes I miss my friend. We talk about relations, friendships, and communication (coz it's the nature of our work and all). But we can't even resolve our own issues. Funny, actually. And a tad bit disappointing. But enough with that for now. Pahinga muna, remember? Anyway, work is pretty light so far and I'm actually excited for the year (no, seriously I really really am), and I'm really grateful I have an awesome team--Migi, Zak, and I will make our boss proud. Naaaah, that's not why I work for this committee. But if that happens, hey that's a biiiig bonus. At least I won't let him down this time. Go Campus Relations, we gon' rock this campus! Haha, that sounded so awful. But yeah, go Campus Relations! 


Realized i never finish memes. I never like not finishing anything (double negative, huzzah!), but I have such a bad history with online trends. I might never delve into such an endeavor again.


 Body hurts quite bad. Tried to do a round at the acad oval during this week's Takbo Thursday and only got around 3/4 before walking. Played Frisbee right after, and then played Frisbee for Frisbee Friday. I am not in shape AT ALL. My body's failing me. My legs, my arms, my eyes (I need new lenses), my lungs (too much Coke and softdrinks make my breathing capacity lower), even my voice, they're all failing me. Why, body? Why? I'll have to fix my body if I'm really going into training for DUO.


Interested in getting a marketing internship at Emerson. The offer seems very tempting, although I might have a problem with schedule--summer class, thesis sem, Externals commitments, etc. But I'm excited with the opportunity, and it's a larger scale version of the work I'm doing in the org--PR Marketing, events, Database Management. It's something I'm looking forward to, and I hope things would go well. Fingers crossed.


Kind of excited for the Avengers Movie this coming Thursday. One, it's my "first job" for the year in Externals, albeit a really light one. Two, it's a Marvel adaptation. And three, I honestly believe it's one cool hot damn heck of a kick-ass movie. :D And yeah, only one ticket left for me to sell, yay!


 Incoherent now, and speaking in short bursts of sentences. Apologies. Lovely summer so far. Cheers to having a summer that gets even better :D
