never say die

tomorrow's going to be the most awaited game,, weee.. ateneo vs. ust.. wahahaha.. really am excited on the game. go uste, go uste, go uste.. go. go. go!!


i'm really excited on the game.. honestly..i'm a bit too nervous also! geezz.. i knw ust's gonna win this game. hehe.. i wanted to watch the game on araneta! i need to have ticket tomorrow! as in! yesterday, me and jelly decided to buy tickets for the game right after pharma,, we said that were gonna just be late on theo,, right after our pharma class,, me and jels went straight to the gym. and boo! we weren't ecpecting to see a line,, talk about a very very long line.. the whole gym was surrounded by students waiting patiently for the tickets.. and so me and jels were like "shit anu ba ian! ang daming tao.. anu cut na tau?!" and so we decided to cut our theo class.. we spent minutes looking for the end of the line .. nakasingit na nga ko sa unahan eh kasu ung babae humingi ng number! syang.. after almost 30mins in the line,, kat said that only gen ad tickets were available! being the desperates to have the ticket, we still decided to go for the gen add tickets.. we were already planning how to jump from the gen ad area to the upper box b area. haha.. then when we were almost there.. let's say 5opersons na lang.. [compared to being alsmost the 300th person in the line] the guy in front of me suddenly said.. "sold out na daw ung ticket!" and so i was like.. "what! ano?! sigurado ka?" and then i saw students going outside,, saying.. "wala matatalo na kau,, ateneno na !" damn it! tickets were really sold out!!! shit! me and jelly were really like.. oh my god! just when we're already there and they'll say that tickets were sold out! after 2hours of patiently waitng in the line.. reviewing for the botany exam with our minds on the game.. eating our lunch while in the line just to get a ticket! goshness!!! i was really really really disappointed! we were really tired,, as in super tired.. and we didn't get anything.. even a glance of the ticket.. geez talga! but then, never say die nga eh! we never loose hope, and up to now .. me and jelly were still looking for tickets! together with paolo's company..
i really wanted to watch the game in the araneta,, i don't want to be alone in my house, watching in the tv.. cheering for the ust.. ALONE! no way! i wanted to feel the intensity of the game..the cheer of the crowd.. syempre mawawala ba ung mga pasaringan ng skul. hehe.. basta i shud have a ticket tomorrow!


i am now enjoying the freedom of being a college.. hehe.. me and jelly decided to go at the carpark right after filipino,, trip lang.. titingin ng head band. and so we went to carpark. at first, we wanted to cut english pa nga, but paolo said that he'll teach us in math inside the classroom during eng time.aun, plan for cutiing eng subject was postponed.. when we were already in carpark and was about to go back to main building.. it suddenly rained hard! we're stranded.. we don't want to go inside the classroom wet! and so we have to call rachel pa to bring umbrellas for us.. too much for cutting. hehe.. la lang, we were jsut enjoying this week because next week.. nose bleed na namn! back to our school stuffs. and next week's gonna be our final exam on botany lab and chem lab! shocks,, gudluck! i'm not yet prepared! hehe...

like it or not, another year has again been added to my age .. weee!! belated happy birthday to MYSELF! haha,, i wasn't able to blog yesterday because i already came home at around 7:30 pm and got lots of things to do pa,, pero hindi naman nag aral! haha,, drawing lang ang pagsasabi na magaaral ako! hihihi.. i was again too lazy last night.

yesterday,, we had our tune up game in volley ball.. yeah yeah yeah.. i was the so called "secret weapon" in our group.. hehehe.. well then, u could ask me to go dancing the whole day but never ask me to play inside the court! hehe.. but i have never enjoyed volleyball the way i'm enjoying it today.. i may not be a "pro".. i may just be a player learning the basics.. i may just not be as super good as my group mates.. but i wasn't expecting that i will learn.. a LOT from my prof in vball.. up to now i don't know her name,, nor her surname.. all i know is that, she is a person with so many lessons in life..


lesson no.1 - "grow where you are planted.."
one player in the other team called the attention of our prof because their captain ball was absent.. and all captain balls are very much needed yesterday. and so ma'am said that they should do something..the whole team should not be paralyzed only because their team captain was absent. and she kept on saying that we should grow where we are planted.. i may not be able to get what she really means,, what important is.. more or less, i have an idea on what i must do if i'll experience similar situations.


lesson no.2 - "you are only as good as your opponents"
in a game of volleyball, ma'am said that your real opponent is yourself. you have to learn how to face your fears. learn how to fight. no matter how weak you are on that sport, think as if you are only as good as you're opponent. do your best.. think about how you will perform well and not how poorly you perform. never say "i'm a failure".. coz you will be a failure.. we are the creators of our own reality, and our life will depends on how we believe in ourself!


lesson no.3 - [our official motto] "friends forever!"
that was our motto in this game...in this class. in a game, we can't avoid being hit by the fall on our face, stumbling on the ground just to save a ball, a ball approaching you that you cannot receive, commiting mistakes inside the court.. think of these instances as given.. and its only normal to experience this all. one should not blame the person if he did not performed well inside the court,, it's given. one should not take it too personally if someone gave him a ball that hit his face.. again, its given. just remember that everyone of you is just doing their part,and showing their best .. one's the game is over. then forget whatever bad circumstances happened to you inside the court.. what important is all of you enjoyed the game, and if one commted mistakes.. one should learn from it.. for short,, "walang personalan, trabaho lang"


and our no.1 rule!? - simply,, no badmouthing! it's a mortal sin! hehehe..


this lessons were told by ma'am throughout the discussion of the game mechanics,, i never expected that such rules in volleyball will be a lesson for us.. it is not only applicable in this sport, it is actually should be applied in our lives..
why am i telling this? simply because, i'm already 17.. i should be mature enough. and i believe that if i'll follow what ma'am had told us,, i'll surely be a better person.




Papa God, thank you for giving me another year to live .. thank you for the 17 years that you have given me and thank you for giving me such wonderful people who never left me in all my ups and downs

confessions..

i'm back from my blog hiatus,, hehe.. i missed blogging. i just can't keep myself from writing down my thoughts no matter how busy i am.. i have this blog for almost a year,, and this became my half.


"this could be the start of something new,, it feels so right to be here with you.. and now looking in your eyes,,i feel in my heart.. a start of something new.."
-troy and gabriella.. highschool musical (start of something new)

two days from now,, i'll be 17.. not a sweet 16 anymore. though i always wanted to be 16,, la lang. 17 years of my life has passed and another year for me begins,, siguru it was time for me to be more mature now, be more responsible,, specially with my words and actions.. i did a lot of mistakes, sometimes.. i admit.. i dont learn from them,, i kept on doing those mistakes over and over.. it cud be the reason why i lost some important people in my life.. last night gave me the realization that whatever is happening to me now is mainly the reason for my all wrong doings. and its not yet too late to correct it all..


i was happy last night,, thanks to gekay, rizza, and raymond.. we did nothing but laugh,, and talk about everything! they were the ones, who inspite all my flaws and imperfections, never dare leave me in all my struggles in life. whenever i feels so down, those three were always the first one that i'll run to.. gekay and rizza.. they were really my super bestfrends! that no matter where we are,, there will always be a bond that holds our friendship tightly. raymond, he's really a brother figure to me. and i will always be thankful that God gave me a person who absolutely cares for me and will never let anyone hurt me.


at one part last night., i still long for something, for someone. the person who i shared most of my unforgettable memoris with.. the person who always let me realize all my mistakes,, and the person who could make my happiness complete.. i just wished that everything will still be back to how they were before between the two of us. no arguments, no debates, no misunderstandings.. and its the only birthday wish that i cud ask..

rizza, gekay, raymond.. thank you guys for spending the night with me! u guys really made me feel happy before my special day! you guys totally rock! i labshue ol..
