Jay Park LIVE in Manila!

Jay Park, k-pop

It was amazing. I’ve always known Jay Park was a great performer, but this is the first time I’ve seen him live. He was so good. He still has a long way to go, seeing as he has just debuted as a solo artist, but you can already see how charismatic he is on stage and how well he connects with the audience. Great job, Jay Park. I’m proud to be your fan!

Also, there were abs. *dies a happy fangirl*

Surprises

AMS, friends

NOTE: This is a repost from FB, because I don’t want it to get lost in my timeline sea. And also because people keep spamming it with useless comments. )

Somehow, graduating one semester later than everybody else became one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It’s still to early to say, academics-wise, but the friends I’ve met and the memories I’ve made, these are things that I won’t ever, ever forget. What I originally expected to be a lonely and boring semester turned out to be the most unexpectedly awesome one ever.

Today, I received a pleasant surprise, although “pleasant” is certainly a huge understatement. I was just blown away by how much love you’ve given me, despite most of you having known me for just a couple of months. I’m not a very expressive person, but I love you all tremendously and no words can express how I feel right now. Kaya… hearts na lang: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ x infinity!!!

AMS, thanks for the past 4.5 years. Even though I may not be as good in Math as the rest of you, AMS has always been home to me and will continue to be. Because of AMS, I will never be able to write the word Math without capitalizing it.

(Thanks so much to Ted, Jason, and everyone else who planned this and came by today. Sobrang galing! ) Pwede na kayong manligaw! Although next time, Jason, huwag maging masyadong obvious, ha? )

Bizarre

I’ve got the most anticipated Theo orals of my entire LIFE tomorrow but I just have to talk about this because if I wait any longer, it will be irrelevant and I’ll lose interest.

Anyway. Yesterday afternoon, at around 2pm or so, I received a call from the information counter of the building where we live. Apparently, the building administrators received a bomb threat. I am not even kidding. Why would anybody even bother blowing up our building? We’re nobodies!

I called my mom and she told me to RUN FOR MY LIFE. And so I did. I went to McDonald’s and sat around for a while. My mom came and told me that the bomb threat was actually for 11pm that night, and that some of our neighbors had already evacuated. The entire situation was just really ridiculous so I didn’t really feel like my life was in danger or anything. Seeing as there has been several bomb threats throughout Metro Manila for the past few months, none of which were really carried out, it made the situation all the more silly.

So we went back home and decided what to do. Should we leave or not? On one hand, we could go live at my grandparents’ house for the night. On the other hand, we could stay and wait for the building to blow (or not). In the end we decided to leave, because well, it’s better to be safe than sorry! I packed up all my books and readings (just in case, I didn’t want to fail my exams next week because of some stupid terrorist!) and we left.

Well, in the end, nothing happened. I was totally waiting for it, and at 11pm, I texted my neighbor who stayed at the building, I was expecting something to happen. A little firecracker or something. Nothing did. But we stayed the night anyway and came back the next morning.

And that’s it. The biggest non-event of my life that could have changed it forever, or wasted my time. I was a bit disappointed, but of course GRATEFUL that my home is safe and sound and that my gigantic graduation photo that I couldn’t take with me is still in one piece.

Dear terrorists, if I fail my exam tomorrow, I’m gonna sue. >:(

 

Rizal

immersion, Rizal

I don’t have much to say today, but I have plenty of photos to share!

I just came back from my immersion in Rizal. I was able to spend two days (or actually just around 1 day since we arrived at noon and left at the same time) with a foster family. My family ran a small sari-sari store in Pililla, Rizal, and it was a nice peaceful community with lots of kids running around all the time.

And speaking of kids, the three little girls I stayed with were the sweetest things ever. I’m not really good with kids, but they were so adorable and kept on asking me questions which I didn’t even know how to answer.

I don’t really know what else to say about it, but it was a great experience and my only regret was that I wasn’t much help to my “nanay” and the family. Still, I’m extremely grateful to them, and I hope I’ll get a chance to meet them again in the future!

Christmas

What! Charmy! It’s almost 2am and you’re still blogging!

Yes. And I have a midterm exam tomorrow. Which I have given up studying for. It’s hopeless from the very start.

My Christmas break starts at 10:30am tomorrow!!! I can’t wait! And after that, a flurry of happy things and neverending food~

Also! Am bringing a whole bunch of presents for everyone to school tomorrow since I am going to school in the Danicar (Yeah!), which means none of my lovely wrapped gifts will be opened by stupid security guards at the LRT station. I’m sorry, security guards, I know you are doing it for our safety and wellbeing but it’s just really really annoying. My heart breaks every single time a piece of tape is ripped from the wrapping paper by someone other than the recipient.

For some reason, even if it’s so late, I don’t feel so sleepy. Normally at around 1am, my eyes start to droop and I can’t stop yawning, but now I’m just a little tired. Must be the extra sleep I got over the weekend. Yeah! YAY weekends!

Now I really can’t wait for Christmas break. I plan to pay back ALL of my sleep debt. Every single minute of it.

 

P.S. Hey! You know what? If you move your cursor to the left or to the right, the snow follows! Just wasted a minute of my life making the snow dance the hula.
