anyway ... it's been a good two weeks since i last blogged here; shame on me! hahahaha. and might i say. i've been TOTALLY busy these past couple of weeks. last week was the week of jumpstart, the orientation program that the school provides for those scared little incoming freshmen. it's still hard to fathom the idea that i'm a senior now. only four short years ago, i was an 8th grader, scared of graduation and what lay beyond that. now, i'm only 10 short (or long?) months away from graduation, and for some reason i canNOT wait for this year to begin. it's going to be awfully challenging, but i'm looking forward to it. i want to straighten out my school life; take better notes, be more organized, perform tasks in a timely manner, etc. it's going to be hard to stick to that, but i'll try my hardest.
ANYWAY! back to the recap. monday and tuesday were our (the peer leaders') training days. i was assigned to work with an english teacher and a classmate of mine. we didn't have a classroom; rather, we had to organize a party(?) of some sort, like some further icebreaking between those scared freshmen. welcome to the neighborhood was the theme. and on thursday, when everything we planned came to fruition, i was very pleased. it turned out quite well.
this past sunday was one of the best days of my life. we had a barbecue at our quaint little house, and i invited a ton of people over. the usual godbrothers and godsisters came over, but a couple of special people came. first was my classmates. both weren't filipino, yet they mingled so well with the others. one of them is white, but until sunday, i never knew how much we were alike. he's like my brother-from-another-mother. and two people i hadn't seen in forever came to my house. one i've known for forever (since 1994, actually); one i only met two years ago.
yet those two girls are the most important (non-family) people in my life. they have made such an impact in my life; i don't know what i'd do without them. these two (and one more that couldn't come because she was (and still is) in germany) are truly my bestfriends in this life. i was glad that i was with them.the best part of sunday was the game of taboo. it's a great game, where you must get your teammates to say a word on a card without saying the four or five words on the card that you're not supposed to say. it's a hard thing to explain, but it's the greatest game ever. my team won, but there were soo many laughs and smiling faces that i think everybody was the winner.
as my summer dwindles down to almost nothing, i sit here, dwelling on the past, on all the mistakes i've made, and all the accomplishments i've attained. i'm glad to say that, despite whatever i've said before, i have no regrets. if the bad things haven't happened, it's more than likely that i won't be where i am today. i know that everything that happens happens for a reason, and though i can't explain my faith in the Lord and what He has planned for us, i know He's there and it's real.
it's more than likely that the next time i post a blog here, i'll be a full-fledged senior, blogging about how stressful the year is and how i wish it was still summer. but for now, i'll just leave by saying i can't wait for senior year. =)
or rather, i'll leave by posting a part of the lyrics of a song that one of my bestfriends (the picture on the left) sang for me: (the song is called "kung maputi na ang buhok ko" by soapdish)
kung tayo ay matanda na
sana'y di tayo magbago
at kailanma'y
nasaan ma'y ito ang pangarap ko
makuha mo pa kayang
ako'y hagkan at yakapin, ooh
hanggang pagtanda natin
nagtatanong lang sa'yo
ako pa kaya'y ibigin mo
kung maputi na ang buhok ko
k, goodbye. :D
