AUGUST 26, 2008 is the new best day of my life. Woooooo.

*I still can't wipe this weird smile off my face*

It's About Time

I think it's about time to write some stuff again. The urge to blog hasn't visited me yet, it's somewhere else right now. A lot of things happened lately. AWE was nominated for CATV awards. Yey! The sleepless nights finally paid-off.

*I will write more soon. Just give me time to gather my thoughts.*

I Should be Ashamed of Myself

That's what my nephew told me just minutes ago.

To make the story short...

I was making kwento (sorry, slang me eh) to my mom over dinner of what happened with my exams earlier, when I said:

"Grabe talaga kanina, parang TANGA lang yung test namin. Hahaha"

Then my nephew said (Cale, one of the twins), "WHAT KIND OF FAMILY IS THIS? a BAD-WORD SPEAKING FAMILY?"

Then Cyle (his twin brother) added: "YEAH TITA MEMENG, YOU SHOULDN'T TALK LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF KIDS. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF."

I am so ashameeeeed already. I am setting a bad example for them. Sorry na ha? Huw.

Yes, they do speak straight english here at home, lalo na kapag naglalaro sila, thanks to cartoons and cable tv. How I wish I was that smart when I was kid. Haha. In fact, I am smart. They're just smarter :)

Stop Expecting

Tagalog muna puhlease?

Bago ako mag-aral ng Español, gusto ko muna ilabas ang nararamdaman ko.

Heto na naman ako, nag-expect. Nag-expect na magiging madali lang yung prelim test sa Adver, yun pala hindi. Haay. Nakakastress. Nakakainis. Halos ilang page yung binasa kong mga lecture, report at mga text na pinagkasya ko sa bond paper dahil nagtitipid ako sa papel. Yun pala, lalabas sa test, parang joke time lang. 10 items lang.

Sobrang nakakafrustrate! Sana bigyan niya ako ng puntos sa effort ko sa pagsusulat. Sayang kaya ink ng ballpen ko. History ng Advertising. I hetch you! Bakit pa kasi kailangan mamemorize yun? Tapos mukhang hindi ko pa sigurado kung tama mga sinagot ko dun. Grr. For the first time in the history of my life, nagtest ako ng halos dalawang oras. Dalawang oras na halos walang nangyari. Tama na nga. Next time, di na talaga ako mageexpect.

***

Okay. I'll admit. Medyo asar talaga ako. Asar na nga ako sa test tapos ganun pa. Naiintindihan ko naman. Pero nung una, parang nasabi ko sa sarili ko "What?". Pareho kame ng nararamdaman ni Nicole ngayon. Oh noes. Minsan lang din ako maging ganito. Pero hindi ako galit. Haha! Nagbago na nga siguro talaga ang lahat. Nakakalungkot. Minsan na nga lang, tapos ganito pa. Siguro kasi nag-expect talaga ako, na after that dreadful test eh magiging masaya ako. Like good ol' times.

Pero ayos lang. Malawak naman ang pag-iisip ko kaya naiintindihan ko. Kaya lang nalulungkot pa rin talaga ako ngayon.

Kahit sabihin mo pa na walang nagbago. Ramdam ko, meron.

Hindi na kasi tulad ng dati.

Iba na ang lahat.

Ma-drama na ako ngayon. Haha!

***

Ang tanging magagawa ko na lang ngayon ay huwag ng gawing malaking isyu ang bagay na ito. Kalimutan. Dikdikin at tunawin. Ibaon sa lupa. At balang-araw, magbabalik-tanaw at tatawa ng malakas.

Kailangan ko ng kape. Español mode na lang.

Wake Up Call

Yes. I was sad because I expected.
We expected.

But I guess this is a challenge. Sabi nga ni Esfrey, medyo nakalimutan namin si God. We were so busy being arrogant that we did not realized that we forgot to thank God and guide us in every decision that we make.

"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." - Reminder ni Esfrey. Thank you for reminding. From now on, I will never forget that He is always there. That He will never let us down. That He has reasons why things happen. I am sorry God, to whatever tampo we caused you. We'll do our best again, yet, this time, we will not forget you. Thank you for waking us up. Thank you for making us see things in a different perspective. I now understand the situation.
