Only a month left 'til my grad photoshoot! [Yikes!] I better go on a diet. I know I gained a few pounds over the few months. Guess all the cake I've been eating are kicking in. At first I thought it was a good thing but now I feel the opposite.  Ugh. Why do cakes have to be so good?! That oreo cheesecake from Starbucks and that triple decker cheesecake from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. [Curses! HAHA!] All for the sake of my grad pic...Let's see how long I will last.

I've been hanging out in CBTL with a friend. She We did some of our assignments, read books, and from time to time watched shows in our laptop. Got a lot of free time when I'm too lazy to do my org work. Feeling day off lang. HAHA!

Sad news for today: DLSU lost against UST [72-73]. Next game will be on Saturday, October 5. Good thing we have the twice to beat advantage! Whew! Animo La Salle!

Just imported some of my previous posts in my old blog. I know it doesn't make sense. Why move? I find it difficult to explain. More like I don't feel like explaining at all. HAHA! I just want a change. Guess I'm tired of my old blog? I'm tired of seeing paid-to-reblog posts compared to personal posts. So why not stop? Well... sayang eh. HAHA! Hey! I get paid for doing a copy-paste post. How easy is that! Besides, I already made this blog, right?

BTW, you'll notice I use dates in number for my post titles. I admit.. I'm too lazy to think of a catchy post title so I thought of just doing that. Maybe when I think of a good one then I'll use that or if I join a blogging contest that needs a specific post title, then I'll change it. HAHA! Signing out! Rain's pouring all over again. And here I thought yesterday will be the last day.

Here's to my first post for this blog.

Today's a rainy day, the perfect weather to enjoy a nap and read a book while sipping a hot chocolate. I'd love to do the latter but I'd have to do it without a hot chocolate. Instead of reading a novel, I think I'll go study for my upcoming quizzes. I just hope I won't fall asleep while I'm at it, especially with this kind of weather.

Flood is everywhere and I can't go anywhere near a coffee shop. Even the convenience store below the building is closed because they're already out of stock. I'm thankful I at least decided to buy a few noodle packs and snacks last night or else I have nothing to eat for today. I also want to go out and enjoy my day with the company of my friends but seeing how the rain just keeps on pouring, that'll have to wait.

Take chances

During my first and second year of college, I didn't have an org I was active in. I was a member of a few but I ended up being just-another-member. I was expecting that because I had difficulties with my studies and wasn't able to participate in their activities. What pushed me to join are incentives, discounts, and freebies from establishments or events.

During my second year, a friend of mine who's going to join the Council of Student Organizations told me about the org and insisted on me joining as well. I inquired about it and kept reading over and over again the content of the brochure that was given to me. I really wasn't so sure whether to join or not because I had a feeling I don't have the qualifications to be part of it. I mean... it manages 38 organizations in the university! What can I do for it? And first off.. will I even be accepted? I knew it will be tough because I'll have to juggle it with academics. I kept asking myself "Should I go for it?" I filled up the form and waited until it's the last day of recruitment. I was in front of their booth, ready to submit the application form but... I hesitated and backed out. 

On my third year, I went all out. I joined different organizations and was active in most of it. Of course, I also applied for the one my friend introduced to me. A great thing about it is that I was able to meet a lot of people. I gained new friends and experienced a heck of fun with them. I was finally allowed by my parents to have an overnight and go to teambuildings and outings. They're still a little strict about it though. Now I can feel what college should really feel like. I wouldn't say my job in the org is easy. It has its tough times but I like what I'm doing and I'm happy to be a part of it. :)

University Retreat

We went to Batangas last March 15 and 16 to have a retreat required by the university. It was my first ever retreat. [Yeah,,, I never experienced it in highschool.] Since we got off the bus, we began our activities by reflecting here and there. Felt nothing special until it was nighttime. We went stargazing and I couldn't help but enjoy looking above. It was my first time seeing so many stars. I was hoping for a shooting star so I kept my head high, but I stopped when my neck felt tired. Sadly I wasn't able to see any shooting stars but I had a great time watching the stars twinkle. :)

The next day, we were asked to make a time capsule with a small bottle. And while we were at it, my friends dropped a few messages for me to read five years from now. Hmmm... Maybe I should take a peek.... HEHE! Not! It won't feel the same when I read it now compared to five years from now. Who knows what messages are there. I'm hoping for something surprising. :P

Reminisce

I used to be active in blogging. Almost everyday I will blog about the things that happened and will happen for the day. Ohhh... the days. Funny it was just last year. I've always had something in my mind to blog about even when there's nothing interesting going on. I guess that's because I've always felt excited sharing something new. But looking back, I can't help but laugh at my posts. I'm referring to my other blog. Then again, it made me slowly remember the events. Nostalgic, yes. It's like it was just yesterday. That's what I really like when I blog. The posts remind me of the past. The funny moments with my family and friends, as well as the depressing effects of my studies. It reminds me of how I got here... to where I am.

Honestly, I only started to blog due to the recommendation of our Basic Communication and Study Skills' professor back in my first year of college. She told us it could help improve our English and writing skills. And blog I did. I'm not quite sure whether my writing skills improved though. It's for you to judge. What I'm sure of is that I started to love blogging. And with that, even after the academic term ended, I still continued to blog.

Through blogging, I had fun. Maybe too much that I began neglecting my studies (even more). It consumed so much of my time thinking about what to write, what to post. I won't say I'm blaming it. After all, it was my choice to blog or not.

Now, I seldom update. Like I said in my previous posts, there are certain things I need to prioritize. Blogging is fun, at least for me, but it would be best to give special attention to something more important.
