Si Mommy.
This morning, before I left for school, Mom prepared for me a brown goodie bag of Starbucks ensaymada, DewBerry, and my traveller's mug with iced tea in it. Baon ko raw. (aww!)

Isn't that the sweetest thing? c",)

This is it Pare.
Hmm. I knew it would come. And now, I'm not really sure if my excitement is enough to overshadow the fear and pressure (ika nga ng blockmate ko, pear and fressure daw.) of my final remaining subjects in the university.

Note to self: Enough trying to organize yourself girl. It's time to take some serious action. (Ate Jam, remind me please, hehe)

After months of rest, soul-searching, bumhood & some monotonous job experience, the time has come for me take in a deep breath and prepare for the tide that'd come. I feel like hanging on to the end of a cliff, awaiting the big jump. And I didn't really prepare myself on how fast it'd come. It's as if just the other day, I had to terminate the plans I had all figured out, and now, just when I found myself somehow adjusted to a whole new different set-up (night shift, bum days, yadda yadda), I had to come back and pick up where I left off and try to finish the race I left behind.

This means I have to awaken the sleeping (if not dead) brain cells that have almost stopped functioning. And looking back and trying to redevelop the habits and systems I have shelved for quite some time. And memorizing again the statistical formulas, and communication theories I have long forgotten.

Tarits was ranting about her one baby thesis last semester. Rits, if you're reading this, you're one blessed creature. Hehe. I, in one of my major subjects, have five baby theses to submit before the semester ends. And that aint the only subject I have. I have two other subjects with full blown thesis each to go with them as well.

But just as I said, I'm pressured, yes, but excited just the same.

This is it pare. I-karir ang acads, ika nga ng mga henyo sa esbi.

On Jeepney Fares.
The basic jeepney fare rose up to P5.50 at the start of this week. For people like us, who are benificiaries of this pinoy mode of transportation, that's one change that would affect our budgets big time.

But then again..

On behalf of some UP people, let me thank the Philippine Government, and the Supreme Court, for giving us another excuse to walk our way to the next nearby building, instead of taking Ikot Jeeps. Thus, we were given more time to exercise, to think things through, and to spend the afternoons bonding with our friends.

God does have His reasons, even in little details such as jeep fares. And we can only be assured that His reasons are always for our own advantage. Buti na lang. c",)
