Haven't been able to blog for quite some time. I'm was busy trying to finish that Crash Bandicoot (the Playstation game.. hehehe). You see I'm quite of a bummer. Not quite... I am! Oh, well...
By the way, I still don't know what to wear for the Oathtaking ceremony. I'm torn between wearing a coat-and-tie and a barong. Don't know which one is the safer choice. Hmmm. maybe Patrick is right. I really am the King of Indecision. *grins*

I feel guilty for passing the board exams.
Not because I cheated or something. It's just that I kept asking why I was able to make it and my friend didn't? Everytime my friends congratulate me, I can't help but think about my bestfriend. He could've been getting the same congratulatory remarks that I'm getting. I know he prepared for it much more than I did. We went to review class together, and I guess he really did his best; no one can blame him for not taking the exam seriously because as far as he's concerned, I think he took it much seriously that he even said "Pare, pag bumagsak ako, baka di na ko babalik sa __ (school namin)."
I've learned two things from that exam. That prayer still works. And secondly, that the exam is so powerful it can either make you or break you into pieces. Sure enough, I guess it did break my friend's self-esteem. I guess I would feel the same way if it went the other way around. Imagine how a simple exam can gauge all the years of hardwork and sacrifice you’ve done just to graduate. I think it’s not enough.
He still has to remove one part of the exams in May. But he seems to have lost the will to do so. It's not enough to say, "Oh, it's okay! You can still remove it next time." or "Okay lang yun." because I know it won't be.

This morning, I overheard my four-year old nephew singing:
Russel: "Ang mga sundalo mahilig sa burat (Tagalog for the male genital)! Buratatatat! Buratatatat! Patay kayong lahat!".
Me: "Ano sinabi mo? Saan mo natutunan yan?". (while trying hard not to laugh my ass off.)
Tsk, tsk, tsk... Kids.

Para kong naglilihi. I seem to be so damn sleepy most of the times. And I also crave for food, and yet when I see one, my appetite seems to betray me. Like I crave for something else. Ewan. Lazy days are here again. Got nothing to do but watch TV, sleep, play the dang PS 'til poor little thingy overheats, and practically bum around the four corners of the house.
I think I want a chocolate right now. Hope it will help.

Hah! The blog is okay again. I am totally clueless of what had happened. And I guess I don't really wanna know what that was. Sasakit lang ang ulo ko. Thank goodness!
I got home this morning at 3 AM. Last night at Gerry's (Jupiter St., Makati) was a bit nostalgic yet utterly wonderful. The people from my college org met up, after almost a year of absence from the org; so it's kinda like a reunion. I heard our org is on the brink of extinction, well actually is an inch below the brink. It's it's quite sad. After almost five years, it will suddenly go down the drain. Such an awful plight. I hope the surviving members will do something about it. Thanks to Ronald who'll be leaving for the States this Sunday after a week of vacation. Bon voyage!

This blog is still having difficulty publishing. I have theories of what's causing the trouble but so far the only evident thing is that IT'S NOT WORKING! I am getting frustrated. This whole thing destroyed the momentum of the previous entries. So by the time I finally fix this, the excitement will be over. *sigh* This is absolutely frustrating.

Mahal pa pala ko ng Diyos. I didn't know that 'til this morning. . For the past days, since Monday (first day of the board exams), I was compelled to pray fervently. That's what desperation makes of you. You suddenly hope for the nearly-impossible.
Last Thursday, my nephew asked me to help him in his book report. It was Heidi by Johanna Spyri. One passage in that book hit me on the spot. It was the part where Grandmama told Heidi that if one forgets talking to God, then God will also forget listening to you. It's been such a long time since I last talked to him, as in really talk to him. And as one song goes, .."we only call God when our hearts are hurting." True enough. For each of the three days of that exam, I commenced by praying. And it worked!
Yes! I finally saw my name on today's Philippine Star! Whew! Chemical Engineer na ko!

My self-esteem has taken a chest-deep plunge in a span of three days. I'll keep this short. Ayoko na munang mag-isip. :D Nakakadrain ng utak yung exams. *sigh* and sighs some more* Now the only thing left to do is sleep, sleep, and sleep some more. And keep my fingers crossed. I hope the next issues of the newspapers would be valuable enough for lamination. *still keeps my fingers crossed*.

If today is the fourth, fifth or sixth day of November, and it's between 8 am and 5 pm, then Bob is probably taking the board exams right now.
Wish him goodluck!
