countdown to summer
Gosh. I can't believe that this schoolyear is already about to end. It seems just like yesterday, when i first set foot on the Ateneo. As much as i want to reminisce right now, i know I can not. Countdown to summer equals fun, but it also equates to a lot of pressure, and a lot of requirements that we need to pass.
So, instead of daydreaming about summer -- something i absolutely cannot do just yet) -- i'll list down the things that i still need to do. Our very lovely teachers (sarcasm, intended) just couldn't let us go without torturing us.
Requirements for the last two weeks of this sem:
Math Long Test -- Chapter 8 [031406]
English Reflection Paper - 2 pages, single spaced, long bond [031706]
Lit Play Production on Much Ado about Nothing [031706]
Final E.S. Reporting on Muro Ami [031706]
Math Project [031706]
Filipino Argumentative Paper on Pinoy Big Brother -- 10-15 pages [032206]
Lit Paper on Much Ado about Nothing [032205]
Math Finals [032106]
Lit Finals [032206]
E.S. finals (If i don't get exempted, or if I do, but I still decide to take the test) [032306]
ITM test [o32806]
There. One down, and 9 to go. 5 down, 5 to go. 6 down, 4 to go.
Okay, i thought i finished everything already.. i forgot about the ITM test. phooey. SOOO 10 down, 1 more to go. How fantabulous.
Okay. I better stop procrastinationg now.
WOOHOO!! IT'S SUMMER, BABY!

Prayer Granted
DAVAOOOOOOO, HERE I COME!!!! :D
Yes, dear friendly friends, it is official -- I am going to Davao this April for the 13th YFC International Leaders' Conference (ILC)!
I absolutely cannot believe it, and honestly, the fact is still very hard for me to grasp. God is soooo good. I received another answered prayer. I prayed really hard for this, and I badly wanted to go.. I was just really afraid that I wouldn't be able to raise the enough amount of money to attend the said event.
Fortunately, I did. As hard as it was, I did it. I had to endure months of not shopping for anything, and not buying things I usually buy. Heck, I even stopped myself from purchasing much food (To those who though i was on a diet, nuh-uh.  ).
However, it was all worth it. This morning, i was able to buy my own round-trip plane ticket, without asking for a single cent from my parents. I feel so happy, because I promised Him that this would be my gift for Him.
The moment I arrive at the conference site, I know that it will even be more worth it. All for Him, all for Him.
Ohmygosh. i really can't believe it. I'm soooooooooo excited!!
The conference starts on the 7th of April, and ends on the 9th. but because all flights are fully booked already, we'll leave on the 5th and come home on the 11th. I'm sure other YFC's are going to do the same. Since we're leaving early, and going home late, we have the time to go around Davao! Beach na ito!! hahahaha. Uh, one problem though.. All of us just have enough money to pay for the reg fee and the traspo (6thou dude), no more for sight seeing or whatsoever. Even none for the hotel. haha. So in short, we will be homeless. HAHA. But, we will find a way, God will provide.
Again, Davao, Here we come! haha.
~*~
In line with the ILC, it's so cool, because God gave me another belssing.
okay, background story first. HAHA.
Eversince i was a child, i loved playing sports. I wasn't always good at it, but i still loved it. Between me and my sister, i was always the "active/sporty/hyper" one. I was even referred to as boyish, way back, because I constantly played with the guys. In fact, even as a little kiddo, I enjoyed jogging with my dad every weekend.
As i got older, my love for sports grew as well. I enjoyed running and playing softball, kickball, volleyball, basketball, catch, and whatnot. Although, like i said earlier, I wasn't good at every single sport i tried. haha. I did grow very fond of playing volleyball and joining the intrams, though.
But when i was in grade 7, i took more notice of basketball, that's why i tried out for the varsity team. I got accepted, so i paid more attention to that, and my love for volleyball was overshadowed. Come highschool, i trained for volleyball for one year, but then i stopped.
This sem, i took volleyball for my PE, and i'm enjoying it just as i enjoyed it before. Our finals are scheduled on March 6, and after that we'd no longer meet for PE. Again, i thought that it'd take long before I'd get to play again.
Thankfully, today, my fellow HPV, ken, and I, went to Boni for the metro-manila sports competition tryouts. To cut the long story, short.. I amm now part of the volleyball team, and we will represent metro-manila in the ILC. Yey!!! I have more to look forward to, now.
I am so excited to train for it, and to play our games on the ILC itself. Nothing beats singing or playing sports for Him. Woohoo!! God really knows how to rock my world. He probably sensed how much i missed playing volleyball. *bigsmile*
God undoubtedly rocks!!
And again, Davao, here we come!!
Hahaha. Sorry, I really just can't contain the excitement and happiness.
*sigh*
Anyway, gotta go now. I still have schoolwork to face. :|
toodle dee doo.
later.
~*So blessed, I can't contain it. So much I gotta give away. Your love has taught me to live now. You are more than enough for me.*~

promises are made to be broken. NOT.
it's so easy to make a promise. all you have to do is say it, and there. what's ironic is that, as much as it is easy to make one, it's not as easy to fulfill.
the main purpose of making a promise is so that you can tell someone that you're perfectly and absolutely sure of whatever you plan to do for that person. may it be, showing up at a party, helping out with school stuff, and the like. however, you and i must admit, promises are often broken.
so why make it in the first place, right? i mean, why make a promise, you're not sure you can keep?
i'm beating around the bush, but i hope you, dear readers, get what i'm trying to say.
promises are supposed to be well thought of. it's not something you just make, for the sake of making it. it's also not something you make, just to impress someone. DOI. how the heck can you impress someone by making a promise, and then breaking it?
it's similar to making a commitment -- you can't just break it off with someone, just because you feel like it.
promises are like eggs, they are made to be broken. -- pfft. forgive me for my choice of words, but that's just really stupid. whoever came up with that is such a ______ (grr, i can't think of a word) person.
anyway, whatever. this is so pointless because i keep rambling on, and i'm not even making much sense anymore. it's just really frustrating. that's it.
on the brighter side of things, i got to talk to (or make that, chat with), one of my closest friends last night. after sooooo long, we finally did a bit of catching up. now we have a plan. haha. we'd text our barkada every week to update each other. sort of like a summary of the week that we went through.
GAH i miss my friendsssssssss. 
but, thank you, coco. thanks for taking the time to chat with me last night. you really made my day. i so so so so love you.
anyway, since i'm in school right now, i don't feel like blogging much. no connection. huh? i know.
later.

Wind Beneath my wings
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
~*~
that says it all.
