We had our graduation practice and class picture taking with toga this afternoon. yun lang. wala na akong alam sabihin. I’m so tired. Graduation proper will be tomorrow. yay!

and the unexpected happened

April 8, 2010

As i’d mention before, we had our retreat last monday until the day after that. I was freaking out the other day ‘coz I really didn’t want to go but you know what, I’m glad I did. Even though the retreat wasn’t the go-for-the-banal-state, it was memorable. The first few sessions were boring and corny but the open forum aka heart-to-heart part was a real tear jerker! It feels good to hear from other people what they think about you and also to know that they appreciate you and thankful for the things you do to them.

The retreat was supposed to focus on goals, breaking barriers, setting bridges.. but at the end of the retreat, I wasn’t enlightened on things like that but instead I was/became thankful.. grateful for everything that happened to me, to my friends, classmates.. between everyone of us. If I was given a chance to change something or choose who my classmate would be.. I wouldn’t change a single thing and I wouldn’t add or unadd any one. I know it sounds corny but it’s true. I couldn’t ask for anything more.. those people, my classmates, whom I have been with for the past four years had touched, changed, transform me to who I am right now–the best version of my self.

In summary, the whole retreat was an experience. It was an experience not only will I remember for the next few years but an experience that will be stuck inside me for a lifetime. And thanks to my classmates and especially to these people..

..for making retreat more special and exciting for me.

you’re so wrong about me

It’s fascinating to see those people around me evolve in a way that I never expected them to be. Most of them change in a good way–they have a steady job, happy lives and basically contented on what and where they are now. Being classified as one of them is my only wish right now. I will be graduating soon, whew! It seems only yesterday that I first step in a huge university not knowing where to go and what to do. Honestly, after four years, nothing has change, I may be more knowlegable, much wiser than I was before but really nothing has change. I still feel that I am that freshman student lost in a big school. The only difference is that this time, I am not lost  in a four-walled lot but in a place gazillion times bigger than that, a place where there are no guards that gives you directions when your lost, no admin that constantly reminds you on what and what not to do and no professors that gives you step-by-step instructions. A place called life. It’s funny that I survived college, uncertain. Uncertain about my course, uncertain on million little things. I am completely aware that I don’t have a specialty, I may be good on some things but I was never expert on one thing. I don’t have that skill in drawing(unlike most of my cousins), I’m not good in writing, when it comes to communicating with others, I’m not good either and(a big shocker) I don’t do well in chemistry. But despite of that, I still chose a medical course, a course not only recquires me to take one chemistry subject but a course that demands me to take all different kinds of chemistry subjects–general chem, organic chem, inorganic chem, physical chem, pharm chem, name it, i had it and more importantly had overcome it. Looking back on those semesters that I’m taking those subjects there’s only one thing that I think “keeps me going”. It’s the attitude/belief that I can do anything. It’s an ambitious, ego-feeding belief I know. But up until know I still believe that I can do anything if I set my mind on to it. I have this thirst to prove something. A relative once told me that I should be like my parents. Be like my parents in terms of what?, Am I bad?, Have I done anything wrong for her to say that? That statement had been haunting me ever since. I don’t want to be my parents’ clone. I want to be somebody! Somebody who can do better than others, somebody who can surpass and even exceed all the expectations that are thrown at her, somebody who will leave an impression to everyone not because of her parents but because she is something.

To all my detractors, downers, and haters(there are any).. equipped with my positive attitude.. just wait and see. I WILL BE THAT SOMEBODY! SOON.

Book Review: Vince’s Life The Wedding

February 28, 2010

I always say that I will make a review of my recently purchased books but i guess I never did, huh? And so, here it is.. my first book review(well, sort of like that).

 

Title: Vince’s Life The Wedding (Third book)

Author: Vince O. Teves

Publisher: Summit Books

Plot: The first book was about Vince and his first love, Andrea. The second was about moving on after losing Andrea and finding a new love in the person of Cat. And now, Cat broke up with him and he’s devastated once again. On the other hand, Connie is pregnant and is getting married to his Fil-Am boyfriend, Walter, in Las Vegas. Vince was hesitant to go at first because he was heartbroken and broke(he quit his job) but he did agreed to go in the long run. They leave Philippines and went straight to San Francisco where Andrea was. The plan(Spider’s plan) was to go to Andrea first and then go on to a road trip to L.A. On their stay there, Vince’s feelings for Andrea were awaken but his love for Cat was still in the background. Everything seems to go well until Connie informed them that Cat will be arriving soon because she also invited her to the wedding. Vince was left with no other option but choose between Andrea and Cat. >>FAST FORWARD>> Vince proposed to her and she accepted it. I won’t be telling you who he choose and why he chose her. See for yourself.. buy the book.

My Favorite line/Conversations:

” I like to think  that this could turn into love one day, but right now it’s not, and here we are again: I have to give you up again.” - -

 –

Connie(to Vince and Spider): I’m pregnant

Spider: Which one of us is the father?

 –

Spider(to Vince): I’m sure you’ve thought about it. You’re single. She’s single. You two can do what single people do when they’re horny.”

Vince: I honestly have not thought about it. ..At least not much.

The not-so-good points of the book/story:

- Almost all the chapter titles are movie titles. As much as I want to focus on the story.. the movie seems to play at the back of my head. It’s weird. Just like in the Ghosts of Gilfriends Past.. while reading that chapter all I think of was Matthew McConaughey’s accent.

- The driving part in America confuse me a bit. Aside from Andrea, who lives there.. It was never mention that Connie and Spider have international driving license.

Final thoughts: The book was nice.. as usual. Reading it gives you that feeling you get when you’re riding a rollercoaster. It makes your heart beat faster and on some point it can make your heart stop. If you liked Vince Teves previous books.. you’ll definitely like this one too. It’s real a page-turner.. I even skip breakfast just to finish it.(lesson learned: Don’t read books before breakfast). One last thing, I personally didn’t like Vince’s choice. I would be much happier if she chose *tooot*. But who knows, there might be book four and there he can be with *tooot*. ^_^
