sad to say but true... i'll be gone for a while. at least for the length of summer classes. i've been through a very harrowing experience and i'm not completely out of the shit storm yet, just struggling with my paddle as of the moment. don't miss me too much, okay? lol. i'm just kidding.
and to my good friend whose dad just passed away... don't worry, time has a way of healing all things. God's time, that is. i was just with him lst saturday and i heard today that that very same day his dad passed away. i'm sorry to hear that. in case, you drop by here, keep in mind that you and your dad have my prayers. keep safe.
"absent in the flesh, but present with the Lord..."
be seeing you soon, everyone :) wish me luck...

heat wave
hearing: Satisfaction (DJ Launch Remix) ~ Benny Banassi (yihee shine, it's our song! hehe ;p)
my gosh i can't remember the last time summer in the philippines was this hot! the humidity is stifling *gag*. for the past two weeks that will now officially be known as my "summer vacation" (nearly non-existent, don't you think?), the heat was no let-up in it's seemingly perverse want to suffocate us. it would be divine to be able to lounge around in a beach somewhere or probably go a more elevated and cooler place, instead i'm stuck in manila waiting for the wonderful dawn of summer classes *oh the joy*. but seriously, i'm not complaining. just the fact that i'm still in the school that i have learned to love and admire is enough to keep me grounded and sane.
i'll be receiving my grades tomorrow and i'm incredibly relieved to be confident enough to know that i passed everything (unless some surprise bummer pops up *knocks on wood*). and on tuesday, it'll be time for summer registration. i hope i'll get the classes i want... timing is crucial 'coz i'll be taking up three really tough subjects (economics 111, mathematics and accounting 30) and i've set up timeslots for each so that i won't be so brain dead everyday and have enough time left for my math and accounting tutors. i'm crossing my fingers that the slots for my chosen won't run out... since i unfortunately ended up with a sucky random number registration: i'm 767th in line or something equally horrid as that. well at least , i'm below a thousand. eheh. sigh life.
enjoy your summer, guys! and happy easter Ü

God is Good
i passed my accounting removal exams!!! i am so overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude. there is no way i could have done this without our Lord's help and the support of my friends and family. i was in such a slump when i learned about the all-too-real fact that i was a step away from getting the boot-out of ateneo... the idea of giving up surely crossed my mind more than once, but God instilled in me the determination and initiative to go on and at least try. every event that led to this is surely worthy of a plaque in my life's hall of magical and miraculous moments. makes me want to be a changed person... *sigh* God is infinitely good. i hope i won't slide back into that old rotten rut i got myself into these past sems or i'd surely find myself out on the road to bumdom. i pray for one last thing: that i'd get along day by day IN ateneo (i don't want to get kicked out, really). as if i haven't stressed it enough, i'd really love to stay and graduate from my school. even if i have jumped this hurdle, the ghosts of past failings still haunt me and are all too ready to creep up my neck and give me the heebie-jeebies... it's as if they are permanently installed shadows constantly reminding me that i have yet to rest to rest on my laurels 'coz the worst ain't over just yet. this is where i entrust my faith to God... asking for the will and the strenght to carry on according to His will. i will do my best and hopefully, He will do the rest.
