mama's arrival and vida's birthday

My mama arrived today from Saudi, so our house was jampacked with people, mostly relatives, who were more interested with the pasalubongs rather than with the actual presence of their balikbayan family member. I received new shoes... and a chicken siopao.. haha! and clothes. I just found out that my mom is a fanatic of channel 2's Search for a Star singing contest.. wala lang, I just wanted to share.

birthday nga rin pala ni Vida ngaun! Happy Birthday Vida!

Anyweiz, I have only 3 things to do for the finals, namely read, write and memorize. But I think I don't have sufficient time to do these 3 things, mainly because what I'll be reading includes, uhmm, wait, 2 chapters of a book, 4 chapters of another book, the revised penal code and countless photocopied reading materials; what I'll be writing includes summaries of all what I've read (not just for review purposes, for I need to pass 'em all), my research proposal (I don't know if I'd still be including Cid as a group member because obviously it was I who is doing ALL the necessary work) and my privilege speech; what I'll be memorizing includes a speech for my speech class, the privilege speech for my parlprac class and all the notes jotted down for my written exams on major subjects. haaayy... iniisip ko pa lang, napapagod nako.

[birthdays of 4A's]

Medyo nagtatampo ako ngayon sa 4A.. wala kasing nagpaparamdam, knowing that September has a lot of birthday celebrants. It's not about the foods and the inuman, it's about the togetherness and the kwentuhan pag nagkasama-sama na. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I didn't hesitate to agree to my mom's proposal of not to celebrate anymore my birthday by throwing a party but simply let it pass and go to my cousin's fiesta celeb and my nephew's christening on the next day, October 2. I'm sorry guys, I'm really sorry but I think the bond is getting weaker. I hated to say that, but I think college life had either made others forgetful or it offered them a happier moments and memories than that of our highscool life, so maybe, in their minds, why bother to go back? and it's really saddening because I was one of those who are trying to call people who are just not there anymore. Truthfully, this post is miles away from being negative, although it may sound like one. So busy with studies? I can't help but smile bitterly when I remember those letters containing these words: "just call me and I'll be there...".. those words are now already lost in oblivion.

That was dramatic. Oh, I'm such a drama queen. Where's my tiara?
