It has been more than a month since i last wrote something relevant in my blog, and I apologize for it. wala akong time para mag-sulat eh. sowi. pagpasensyahan na ninyo ako. haaaayyy... let me enumerate and bloviate on the events and other whimsical thoughts that I endured.

1. Hoopla on graduation day: finally, tapos na rin ang aking pag-aaral sa kolehiyo. One can truly say that graduation is one of the most memorable events in a person's lifetime. I was in a state of rapture after singing the song for mary. i could not help but shed tears of joy and hug my parents and my lola, as i finally done it, albeit a semester later than expected. Still, i graduated from my dream school with friends. What else can i ask for, di ba? Man, sinabi ko pa sa sarili ko, i should not shed a tear.

2. Sidelights on graduation day: i graduated with richard alvarez, the MVP and the big man on campus. i remember, katabi at ka-group ko pa siya sa psy 101. a wonderful guy to be with. he also has a very lovely girlfriend. he's so lucky talaga. sana ako ren, hehe. it was also a good opportunity to collect graduation pictures, too. sayang nga lang hindi ko nagawang lagyan ng message. oh well... after grad, nabusog ako sa sisig sa gerry's. sarap talaga. ako pa pumili ng place. winner!!!!

3. roasting: ang saya-saya noong araw na iyon. ako nag-provide ng venue, pinuntahan ko pa bahay ni omar, sinundo ko pa ang mga magdalo, grabe. wow. i went to the gabay-annex at b.gonzales checking on the nips, haaay... in fact, i sacrificed going to the 2nd day of grad para lang sa kanila. as for the event itself, i was concerned with the event, dahil ang buong mag-anak eh nandoon sa bahay, and i became concerned na baka may sensitive info na lumabas. sensitive info equates into my involvment with a certain person. i keep the notion that my non-academic business in school is a need-to-know basis. buti na lang, they left or slept early. hindi nila nakita yung "special event". they know that i am courting arianne for a while now. syempre, nalaman nilang mei 1 guy na nagbigay ng chocnut noong valentine's day, at isang necklace na may pendant na susi and a rose while on one knee during blue roast last week. (malamang deep inside, alam nila na ako yun, hehe). eniwei, i gave arianne a cd containg songs that i had burned from mp3s. she was honored, but she reminded me of no guarantees or certainties. (sigh...) yung lang ata downer noon eh... nandoon si paula, so neat. hehehe. the freshmen thanked me for helping them out. sana lang they would do that consistently. Sometimes it gives me a lot of concern in my mind.

4. Jomar: it has been almost two months since his departure, and I miss him. Nalaman ko na lang na pumanaw na siya noong kinaumagahan na. Nakuha pang I-text ako in ate ryo (not exactly the right person to be informing you about something as serious as this), then when I heard the news, I left early in the afternoon to be with them. I feelt their pain, and it was a solemn moment for us as organization, as a family. Makes you value your life much more… also, it shocked the world, to the extent that adjustments to the OSA guidelines were made. Good thing the repercussions were as harsh on us as I had feared. After all, we’ve been hit hard and all that… dahil din sa kanya, I lost my mother’s cellular phone the Friday that followed. Saklap nga, dahil ako ang hinoldap. Waahhh… then, that night, I had a spat with Kristel (all fixed, though). Ang madamdaming talaga when you lose someone you had a good relationship with, and that an event like this would glue people together, and in the end, they become more stronger in faith and in guidance. Now, things are much better. Mark A. is taking on Jom’s mantle of leadership in the Spiritual Formation committee. Sabi nga ng mga magulang ni Jom, which I had the pleasure of talking to them, this was the plan of God. His faith guided their wounded souls through the pain and sorrow. May He continue to guide them. I eagerly await Jom’s bday come November.

5. Planning: naudlot ang planning ng buong Gabay that time, at it wasn’t until the start of summer that we managed to do something productive. Kaunti man lang kami, but it was handled very well. Kristel did herself accordingly as the new head. It was also during this stage that I gave the last remaining egg from roasting to SF, who deserve that token, which jom in part help make, more than me and my family.

6. Summer: parang nakakatamad ang summer para sa akin. I feel so unproductive. Sensya na. I find it weird to be saying that I am unemployed… the family managed to go to Puerto Galera during march, then go to a resort on my cousin’s birthday. My consolation has been spending it in school, be with my friends there who are taking summer classes, and do my usual mail check… boring, no?

7. Elections: kasagsagan ng kampanya pa noon, grabe. The K4 senatorial lineup dropped by the municipality, and I managed to partake of their paraphernalia, meron pa ngang slight drizzle. I hope though then that the right people are going to be elected, but it wasn’t to be… btw, here is my ballot:

President: villanueva, eddie;
Vice President: aquino, herminio
Senators: alvarez, heherson; barbers, robert; biazon, rodolfo; chavez, frank; cayetano, pilar juliana; escudero, salvador; gordon, richard; herrera, ernesto; mercado, orlando; padilla, carlos; pimentel, aquilino; roxas, mar manuel
Congressman: tanjuatco, ricardo
Party-list: ang nagkakaisang kabataan para sa sambayanan

Vice-mayor: diaz, ariel
Councilors: aggasid, ed; angel, jay; buenviaje, mark; buenviaje, ronald; curz, crispin; robosa, vince; roxas, jimmy; san pedro, obet

8. Namfrel: I love serving others, and in my humblest opinion, this is one of the best ways of doing it. katunayan, sawang-sawa na ata ang mga iyon sa akin (after all, aisa and especially nicole weren’t exactly in good terms with me). Nothing for me beats serving my country with all my heart. I am a Filipino, and a proud one at that, with all the problems that we have endured over the years.

9. Civil service: in my dream of serving the people, my idyllic means of doing that was to enter government service as a government employee. How? The first step is to pass the civil service examinations. It was a pleasure for me, (ang cheesy nito, promise) kasi merong isang very pretty na ojt doon (corny, no?) I also met someone there. Once I manage to acquire a cellphone, I intend to contact that person again.

10. Election canvassing: watching this was a circus. It was ridiculous, especially the shut up madness involving digs. And I even gave credence to the possibility of including him in my ballot. Anyway, amidst all the madness, they managed to get things done, albeit the fact that it was done in four long days of innuendos.

Ayan, I have enlightened you with some of my proverbial thoughts. More to follow, hopefully, I would be more frequent in writing…
