cheers once more!

it's graduation time once more... not for me though but for my good friend philip/davey.

he was my blockmate/groupmate/classmate almost all my ateneo life except my senior year because he opted to study in japan that year. thus, he got delayed by a year and now it's his turn to march.

i'm so proud of him coz he was able to finish his senior year alone, without a batchmate in sight. funny, how he'd always lament na mag-isa lang siya sa groupwork or wala siyang kakilala sa class at hindi niya alam pano siya sasali ng group. there would be gimmicks along the year when people and blockmates would meet up and how we would all tease him kasi siya na lang ang estudyante.. and now, graduate na siya!

Congratulations to Philip Patrick David Canon Sanvictores! Saludo ako sayo! (lalo ng nung kinwento mo na essay form ang final exam mo sa OS class dahil ikaw lang mag-isa ang senior!)

constantly

Melbs and I spent saturday afternoon together in their swimming pool, talking about whatever came to mind. Haha! Medyo madami kami napag-usapan, bonding session ba... Sarap! We then went inside, ate yellow cab, then watched the video of her brother's wedding. Aww memories! HAHAHA! Tsk tsk tsk... Bagay na bagay! hahahaha! So anyway, medyo napa-senti naman kami sa mga background music ng video kaya naisip namin magvideoke. Kakatawa ng mga songs, until she chose this one... Hmmm... Affected kami sa song, in fairness.. Kung bakit kami affected, well, secret na lang... HAHAHA!

CONSTANTLY

I knew it was there

Though I tried to hide it

The feeling just kept on shining through

Haven’t known you that long

So I try to deny it

But the feeling was much too much too strong

Could this be love

Deep down inside

Tearing me apart

I feel it in my heart

Chorus:

Constantly, you’re on my mind

Thinking about you all the time

I can’t sleep no matter what I do

I just keep on thinking ’bout you

Why do I feel this way

When I know you have someone

That you’re seeing each and every day

Should I play this game

Of just being your friend

When I know that’s not where I want it to end

How could this be wrong

When the feeling’s so strong

Tearing me apart

I feel it in my heart

Chorus 2x

No I don’t want to start no trouble

Between you and I and your lover

But I must tell you what I’m going through

Everytime you walk by I see love in your eyes

Just wanna share na I had an amazing 2 weeks. My soulsister, Elga, stayed here and kept me company while my parents were on tour of Turkey and Greece. Saya grabe kasi parang bakasyon lang. Late night chikas and snacks! Tapos planning our future at kung anu-ano pa... She left na today since she had to spend weekends with her family tapos pabalik na rin ang aking mga magulang bukas... Haay adult supervision na naman... Tsk tsk tsk!

a cup of coffee

another thing i got from an email... =)

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to
visit their old University lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain looking and some expensive and ex! quisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."



"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."



"Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."
