Christmas!! (No, not Christmas Break)

I'm now just giving out my Christmas gifts over YM (kiss and hug emoticons!!)

Well.. Its just a few hours before Christmas!! Hmmm.. looks like its gonna be a hell Christmas break this time again (2nd year - kill Sanchez memories) since we have a crappy major plate due a week after coming back..

The decent thing that they could have done is at least give us a site.. damnit.. I found out that Santa Cruz is on the other side of Laguna de Bay.. anlayo!!

Anyway, so much for relaxing this whole break.. maybe I will relax..

On school.. Its just nice that all of us, completed a hospital in about less than two weeks! I'm sure you all felt good about yourselves.. ang galing natin e.. hassle si sir noh? Nice one JJ, G, and Frank.. we did well.. we pulled thru all together!! Oh well.. as for the second major plate, ewan.. hahaa..

On Paskuhan!! It was great this year.. sure, the fireworks was shorter.. but still grand nonetheless.. sakto lang dating namin from playing in the comp. shop.. hehe.. there's alot of pictures to prove that we've enjoyed at least.. hayz.. ang daming wala.. hello guys.. Paskuhan? tsk tsk.. Scrooge

On Simbang Gabi! Well, this year's simbang gabi was the only time I nearly completed it.. I missed one due to me setting my alarm to 450 am instead of 350 am.. (blames the hospital plate) Just to give info on how much I went to Simbang Gabi, me completing 8 days this year was more (I think) than all my attendance in previous years put together.. It was better this time since I was going to simbang gabi with Emman, Olive, Margaux, Bene, Paulo, Karen, Douille, Lee-An, Mark.. Kudos to Karen and Olive for completing it!

On Christmas.. hmm.. this year's schedule is different.. usually my family and I would go to my tita's (Mother's side) to celebrate Christmas together.. its different this time around since my cousin Ate Cecille now has a baby! (which I haven't met yet) So the baby may get tired and all that.. See ya tomorrow then!!

On Gifts, Wishes and Whatnots that I could get this Christmas.. I felt nerdy because of RMA and my upcoming thesis next year.. so I asked my parents for books. (oh my gosh!) I'm at least partly bookworm.. but I'm thinking long term, and now that I'm older and wiser.. now that I'm 20 years young.. hanep talaga books.. Arki books to be precise..

My hands are feeling itchy.. maybe I'll receive cash (like I usually do or that's probably because of the alcohol)

With that, Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Anniversary!

It just dawned upon me.. that my blog is one year old!! weeeee!! I had nothing better to do.. just looking at my blog.. then I noticed the archives.. it showed December 2005 as the earliest date.. I clicked on it again, showed all my earlier entries.. turns out December 17 last year was the date of my first entry.. I think my sort-of writing style has changed since then..

So how's life? Nothing could be an important factor in my life now than the major plate that we're still doing.. but at least, people are abit more happier since it was at least extended a bit.. its due Tuesday so there..

And I think I'll just break down and cry if we really need to already do the 2nd major plate during the Christmas break.. (parang 2nd year lang a).. It would be ironic if UST, of all universities would be the ones ripping us off of the holiday cheer.. with the Catholic attachments and all that, it really would. After crying, I'll just drop dead and die..

I'm thinking of completing this year's simbang gabi.. I figured it'd be good for me.. I think I'm pretty desperate on the lore surrounding it that there's a christmas wish if you complete all 9 days.. hehe we guys were joking that we have a bet on paying to the peeps if we didnt complete the simbang gabi..

As for the wish? C`mon.. you know me.. it's been pending.. christmas wish, birthday wish.. kahit ano pa yan.. its quite obvious really.. so I'll sing..

From the song "Nasan ka na?"

"Nasan ka na, nasan ka na?" *End.. di ko na alam yung lyrics e*

Christmas na nga ba?!

This is post is gonna be more of a rant, an impulse, a small note, a bratty remark, a bitch-slap but nonetheless is what I'm really feeling right now.. First of, this post was supposed to be done yesterday, but my PC acted weird and kept restarting.. But now that the rain has subsided it works just fine.. (see ang weird di ba) So I ended up punching the pc in the face (monitor) and yun.. nagrestart ulit..

Well Christmas is just a couple of weeks away, and probably this week will determine whether I'll be at least be able to enjoy this break.. sure, its hell week and all that.. but it is compounded by a prof that in many ways, a very effective and a very good one, but also in many ways that he is a kupal, tae, mayabang, mahangin, malabo, pampahassle ang pamamaraan sa pagturo..

Our project was supposedly to REdevelop a hospital.. but no, the sneaky boy found turned it into a design-your-own hospital.. which is many ways different.. wayyyyy bigger and wayyyyyyy harder just to name a few.. and to top things of.. we started like a week ago! Kudos to tropical typhoon Reming for that.

And I dont want the remedy for this situation is to pass this plate next year.. hell no way! So I pray to God that He may have my back, just as I know He always does..

And to think this was just the first major plate.. just a short term speed bump on the road to a nightmare semester.. upcoming major plates, RMA preparing us for our thesis and lastly, Departmental tests after our final exams.. which would act like an entrance exam into 5th year.. Hope I get thru those too..

Merry Christmas!
