They Call Me "The Graduate"

The tassel's worth the hassle. Yes, indeed.

Dati super gustong-gusto ko na grumadweyt kahit alam kong medyo matagal tagal pa bago mangyari yun, and now, my tassel's on my left already... GRADUATE.

Something's holding me back though... inspite the happiness and greetings I get from people. For sure, I am going to miss the way of life I had in college. Yung tipong takot ma-late sa mga subjects, takot sa terror na prof, paggawa ng mga imposibleng assignments, pagtambay sa library... tawanan and kwentuhan with classmates, paunahan mag-sign sa attendance sheet, pagiging particular sa 15minutes or 30minutes grace period ng mga prof, pagluha sa mga productions, pagtawa sa mga itlog na score sa quiz/exam. All those petty things made my college life challenging, fulfilling, and worthwhile.

My mentors and professors who first made my stay a little scary but hella fun! You have shared so many things to us and it added up something to our knowledge. You were like our second parents who scolded us when we did something wrong and who applauded when we did something right.. but most of all, dear professors, you were the ones who imparted us essential things and nurtured us to become what we want to be. Without you, we won't graduate... and so many thanks and a big huuuug to you SIR and MAM! :)

At syempre, who would forget the people that made my college life fun and easier? MY FRIENDS & CLASSMATES. The verdict why I am sometimes late in the class, the culprit behind sa nagkaka-ubusang pad paper (one whole, cross wise, length wise, yellow paper) isama mo narin pati ang pagkakawalaan ng mga ballpen, Monggol No. 2 at liquid eraser. You will all be missed. Kakalimutan ko na yung mga utang niyo at yung mga nawala niyong gamit ko. HAHAHA!

Good Lord, this is the REAL WORLD. We are bound to take further steps to reach our goals and dreams in life... It is scary, yes. Siguro kaya natatakot din ako grumadweyt kasi more responsibilities and more expectations. Ito na yung stage na we will all get paid as to how many we can make out of something. WORK WORK WORK. Time to make a living. SCAAARY! but I know this is part of our journey, this is part of everyone's life so I might as well enjoy it. :)

I had so much fun with all of you! I wish the bonding never ends but, this is life, we have to part ways.. FOR THE BETTER. No matter what road you take, always remember what our good professor has taught us in his subject... BE PROUD THAT YOU ARE AN ESCOLARIAN.

Salute to BATCH 2010 Graduates! I love you!

How Holy was your Week?

Holy Week, as viewed by many people, is a time to visit and acknowledge the sufferings of our good Lord... but let us not deny the fact that it is, as well, the time to take few days off from work and have a BAKASYON ENGRANDE. Beaches. Parties. Souvenir shopping. Adventures. Nature trips. ETC!

I was told by my mom that when she went to mass last month, the priest included in his homily these pangarals:
"I know that it is summer time, Holy week na rin. Marahil marami sa inyo ang may mahahabang listahan kung saang mga lugar ang dapat puntahan, kung saan dapat magbabakasyon... sana wag naman nasa hulihan ng mga listahan niyo ang Bisita Iglesia. Ilagay niyo naman sa pinaka-unang bilang..." TRUE ENOUGH.

People take the chance but overlook the main essence of the Holy Week. As for my case, yes, I was able to take a few days off from the hustle-bustle of the city... in other words, I took a vacation. But I am proud to say that my family, who practice religious beliefs every single day, have placed Bisita Iglesia on our top priority this vacation. We did it in a different way though. Instead of walking from our house in QC to Quiapo, passing by 9 Churches, this year we visited 7 chuches up north- from La Union to Ilocos Norte. It was a very nice and solemn experience. Why solemn? Despite the travel time and the roads we had to take, we were able to get along with conservative probinsyanos who practice religious beliefs in solemn ways. The churches were quiet not like ones here in Manila... there were long processions everywhere and makikita talagang taim-tim na nagdadasal ang bawat isa. I am proud and happy that we did it up North!

The experience was extraordinary! Noong nasa last church na kami, it was really a relief! We were happy that we completed all the churches!

Now, how Holy wass your week?

Premos.

Hi readers. Do you believe in Premonitions? Well, I don't know if I should but I consider them in one way or another.

I am kinda worried right now coz Axle had a bad dream awhile ago. There were two girls on both of his sides. On his left was me, and on his right was a girl he doesn't know. The girl was barely like a black shadow whose face cannot be seen. In his dream, I was telling him random stuffs nonstop. When he looked at his right, he felt like the woman was keeping him from seeing her face. He was struggling to take a peek of the woman's face but he failed. He said in his dream, he can't move... he can't lift his hand, he can't talk, etc. He just felt the girl's persuasive force like the girl is asking him to look at me and never mind her. I don't know. That's how his story went. When he woke up he was quiet and dizzy. It felt like the dream was really happening. This is scary and he is bound to have a photoshoot in Tanay Rizal tomorrow. Come on, I'm really scared. I want him to be safe all throughout the shoot and the days after.

They say dreams try to reveal some messages to us, humans, and I can't seem to figure out what his dream meant. All I know is that I don't wanna lose him.. no, not in any way. :(

Promise to say a prayer before I go to sleep. I love you, Ax! Take lots of care, Love!

I love you, just so you know. :)

Okay, this may seem so cheesy.. but what can I do? Dreamsounds playlist is playing on my laptop!

I just want to post this to show how happy and thankful I am for having him as my bestfriend and my beloved. It has been two years now and I still get that kilig. (Raaaarrr! Cheesy na, sige!) HAHAHAHA! I love you Anteaus Villena :)

My Passion should push through after Graduation :)

Things that I accomplished on the net today:

I was able to upload the pictures taken last night at my godson's first birthday party.
I was able to go out with Ax and eat at Banapple.
I was able to see my friends and hang out with them.
I was able to search online some job openings.
and.. I was able to write a blog, like the one right here, after a very looong time!

Mission accomplished!

Hey readers! I am writing this blog to update you with the things that are happening in my life. First off, my graduation day is nearing. I am not excited. I am nervous. I fear what's going to happen after my graduation. Really. I have plans though! If you'll ask, I'd say I still want to study Film and Photography after I graduate from Mass Communication Major in Broadcasting :)

I have this love, enthusiasm and passion for both Photography and Film- it is the passion that developed over time. Both art forms really interest me and inspire me to do my best in such fields. I have taken subjects in our school curriculum regarding those and it moved me even more to never stop learning things about it... maybe that's the reason why I would like to take further steps to widen and enhance my knowledge regarding those.

And speaking of which, I am currently wondering what workshop will suit my needs. I need to get testimonials and feedbacks from people who joined the workshop before- if the lecturers were great, if they were able to discuss the subject matter well, if the room is good and conducive to learning, etc. I have so many questions! i can't risk money in enrolling myself to something not worthy. After all, my future's at stake!

I am undecided. I want to enroll in Digital Photography in Benilde, a short course on Digital Photography. And the film workshops of Mowelfund and Filipino Pictures Inc. I don't know which of those workshops will really satisfy my thirst for learning! But one thing's for sure. I will take both Film and Photography workshops. i just have to choose really well where to enroll. So if you guys happen to know a thing or two about those workshops, let me know. I am more than happy to hear from you. :)

If you're wondering if I am going to work soon, I'd say YES... but only if I enroll myself first in those workshops. :p Maybe on last week of April or beginning of May, I'll send out my application in my prospect companies and maybe get myself hired in a prestigous company (with a good pay) around June or July. Let me enjoy first the remaining days of being 'unofficially unemployed' after graduation. It never hurts to bum around, at least once in awhile. :)

Summerheat, yeah!

Hi! It has been a long time since I blogged about what I have been doing lately...

Well, final exams are over. We are all entitled to have some rest before our graduation practices. What excites me? Hitting the beach this Holy Week! The heat is very unbearable, dipping in cold water would sure soothe me. Hmm where to go? Maybe Ilocos? Or the much-awaited summer trip my classmates have been nagging me: Anuwangin Island in Zambales! I am excited already! :)

My schedule these past few days were really painful and excruciating. We had to do several paper works and presentations but God is good, he gave me the perseverance and now I am officially bumming around!

What am I doing? Here, blogging. Updating all my accounts and editing the pictures I have been storing for like... a week? Hahaha! Im bound to watch tons of DVDs later, mind joining me?:) I love watching re-runs, indie films, and experimental films. Fetish! :)

Oh, I am also planning to send out my resume online! So I won't add up to the Unemployed figures after graduation, so help me if you know a Media Agency that has Job Openings :)

Till here, people! Blog on :)

Full Moon.

It's full moon. What a beautiful site from the window.

I have never seen the craters of the moon up close... not until today. It's beautiful! I remember what my friend told me about the moon. Whenever she looks at it, no matter how bad her day went, she feels good. Yeah, just by looking at it makes her release all the tensions and stresses she is undergoing. Maybe that's the reason why she put a moon tattoo on her back.

She told me that the moon is every girl's comforter. Girls do more appreciate the sight of the moon than boys. It relieves them and makes them realize how beautiful the world is and how much they should anticipate the next coming days.

After all the stress in doing my Media Ethics and Media Standards assignment, I gaze through my old window and see the moon... Beautiful :)

Good night People :)
