sudden rush of emotions

There are those times when you don’t feel like saying or doing anything, not because you don’t want to but you just don’t have enough energy to do so. You have been drained in all aspects of your being, literally and figuratively.  There are moments when you laugh your heart out during the day then cry like a baby as the day comes to its end.  Some people would probably think of this as a symptom of a mental illness of some sort. I have come to call it the sudden rush of emotions. Truth is, everyone experiences it, one way or another.  You may try to hide it but the fact remains that it is uncontrollable by nature. It catches us in moments of vulnerability. I would like to think that I am strong enough to surpass this stage, unfortunately, in this very moment, I am losing my battle.  I let vulnerability take over and emotions get the best of me. I am week, too weak to put up a fight. Yet I feel that I need this—the chance to embrace it so I would know how to shield myself, may be not entirely, from all sorts of pain when the next sudden rush of emotions comes along.

bum: good and bad rolled into one

haaay... bum mode ako ngayon... nakakapanibago knowing na last sem sobrang nahaggaaaard ako at lagi akong may ginagawa. so far, the only thing i'm so thankful for is the fact that i am able to sleep, sleep and sleep!!!!!!!! hehe ^_^ bawi kung bawi, alang pakilamanan...hehe ^_^

23rd

just wanna say thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday, hehe... ^_^

fyi

i won't be able to check my mail for a while, better to reach my be phone.
be safe everyone ^_^

welcome me back ^_^

it's been six months since my last post. hahaha! i actually expected that to happen but what i did not expect was how long it would have been. anyways, i'm back [welcoming committee, anyone?] remember when i said i would probably detach myself from the real world when the second semester starts, well i did, i really did. i was so occupied with my thesis, not to mention all my other subjects were demanding as well. my ge subject had three long exams and a field trip. i then had to do a learning project [piano lessons--which i really enjoyed] for my psych class and do both oral and written exercises for my speech class. my econ class was not that demanding but i did not have much time to study for the required four long exams [cramming: my partner in crime]. aside from my thesis, the subject that definitely occupied most of my time was the tv journ class. although i enjoyed the challenge of producing documentaries, the experience was really exhausitng. i never expected the amount of time, money and effort one has to devote just to finish a two- to three-minute feature or news presentation. there were days when my groupmates and i felt we were having a field trip of manila everyday. we had to go to quiapo to intramuros and back and to everywhere else that we felt we needed to get footages from. that was just half of the job, the editing part was just as stressful. what if the footages were not enough? what if the voice over and the footages did not make sense together? what if the entire presentation encountered problems during the rendering process? you just can't help yourself but worry especially if the presentation is a few hours away. after everything that happened, i still enjoyed it--maybe not as enjoyable as i would have wanted the whole thing to be [lessen the sleepless nights and have more time to eat and rest], but i still think everything was worth it...[or am i just convincing myself??? hehe].

now, having read the things i did during the last sem, wouldn't you agree that i had to detach myself from the real world? oh, correction: i was kind of forced to detach myself from the real world. [need i say more?] haha ^_^

shop + stroll + sleep = baguio

just got back from a three-day trip to baguio with my cousins over the weekend. there are are three S's i love whenever i visit that place [it's my 3rd time] namely --- shop, stroll and what everyone craves for, sleep! ^_^ and i was able to fulfill all three! hehe... not a hundred percent with shopping and strolling but sure is satisfied with the sleep part! hehe... the free aircon sure helps but wearing pajamas, socks and a jacket plus a blanket or two with two to three more pillows is a must to keep your body warm thru the night. ^_^ good thing i had my ujp jacket with me.

our baguio trip was truly a time for relaxation, good thing i went cause i wasn't sure at first for i was set to go home to Talisay already. anyways, we had fun! it's an addition to my escapades list. ^_^ wonder where i'll be next? hehe

   

the remedy ^_^

from 'finals weeks a.k.a. haggard weeks' to 'sembreak a.k.a vacation mode bawal ang acads' is every college stude's long-awaited but somewhat difficult transition (your free to agree or disagree). being used to doing something whether cramming for a paper or for a presentation the next day resulting to sleepless nights, moreover, disrupting the body's biological time clock, is need of a remedy.

as for me, i found pizza frenzy, feeding frenzy, bounceblitz and cake mania very therapeutic! ^_^ just yesterday, i was so occupied playing that i lost track of time.. hehe... but in a good way of losing track of time.

i'm taking advantage of my stay here in manila for a few more days cause i won't be able to play any of these when i leave for Talisay next week. (that also means, i won't be able to check my mail or my blog for a week's time or more)

just try it, you might find yourself hooked as well. ^_^ (magpaka-BI daw. ^_^)

enjoy the sembreak everyone! ^_^

the end. ^_^

it's over. i'm finally thru with the first semester and i only have two more to go before graduation. waaaah!!!! ^_^ [can't believe i'm actually imagining receiving my diploma after all of these!] our PR plan for the Pay it Forward campaign was the last requirement I had to fulfill. fortunately, the presentation went well and it was a very nice way of ending my sem, very nice indeed. ^_^

Another good news, I was able to get all the subjects I enlisted for next sem! [can't imagine going through another manual enlistment! a kind of enlistment when all you do is hope for a slot that will never ever be yours, as in never, or if you do get the slot, it would somehow be a miracle! they will make me wait for nothing! bitter? not really, just saying it's one of the worst experiences i had.] 

well, so far that's my acad life. finished as of this semester. ^_^ sembreak, however, seems too short for me this year. the least i can do is enjoy the remaining three weeks or less before the second semester starts which only means one thing: thesis mode. i may have to detach myself from the real world when that mode starts, hopefully not that much. hehe. ^_^

not everything you ask for will happen,

not everything you dream of will come to reality,

not everything you're looking for will appear in front of you, 

not everything you hope for will come about,

not everything you wait for will arrive,

and not eveything you wish to take place will come true.

we can only wish,

but sometimes we should know when to stop asking, dreaming, looking, hoping,  waiting and wishing for something that we know we can never have...

sometimes we have to learn to let it go.

it's never an easy task, it's never a straight path to follow.

i can only wish.

i can only hold on to that wish.

now, i realized i have to let that wish go.

now, i have to stop asking, dreaming, looking, hoping, waiting and wishing for that.

now, i have to stop holding on. ^_^
