Online enrollment at again tomorrow

Prepared to this face once I log in to MLS at 1250 tomorrow: 

I just want two things: 12 units or more and a schedule with the same breaks with friends next term. 

"Sembreak"

For Halloween / All Saints’ day weekend I spent the short vacation with my grandparents from my dad’s side and my aunt Janet’s family in Cavite. So here is a list of what we did from Wednesday to Sunday (October 31 to November 4): 

• Went to Manila Memorial Park Cavite (not Loyola as I said in my tweet whoops) to visit uncle Rodel’s dad’s and his mom’s sister’s grave on the night of All Saints’ Day. The evening air was cool and fresh, but sleeping on a mat spread out in the grass gave me a backache. 


• At midnight of All Saints’ Day, we all watched Enchanted only to get a disc error at the penultimate scene of the movie :/ Shameless confession: it was my FIRST time to watch the movie. 


• Other than Enchanted,  we watched Stuart Little and Snow White and the Huntsman on DVD accompanied with our snack buddies Pica and Clover!


• Visited my grandparents and Tito Dilts! <3 I fulfilled my dad’s request for a photo with lolo and lola which my dad liked so much he posted it on his FB page :) 


• Took turns with Abby and Reese in playing aunt Janet’s iPad especially Temple Run! 


• What’s a trip without photos? Goofed around Photobooth with Reese! 

• Swimming in the Pacific Parkplace (my aunt’s family’s residence) has never been enjoyable! 

The vacation may have only been for five days, but I am glad to have spent quality time with my family in Cavite! Thank you to all for this wonderful trip and hope to see you all soon!

I told him, “If I met you when you were 17, I would have thought you were foolish and I would have loved you.

And some day, you are going to lose your hair. And I am going to be very fat, and we will be wrinkling and tattooed and nearly deaf, and I will shout ‘I love you!’ at the top of my lungs, so you will hear me.

Today I got a surprise...

and that is I actually PASSED THE LASALLIAN AMBASSADOR EXAMINATION LAST FRIDAY. 

Hoping I can make it through the 1st round of Group Simulation test! ;) 

Je ne sais quoi

In English, the above text means “I don’t know what”. Better known as my current situation.

I got rejected by The Lasallian three months ago, didn’t pass the first take of the qualifying exam for Literature majors, and now I got a “thank you and goodbye” from my application to be a Lasallian Ambassador (LAmb). If I don’t see my ID number on this paper containing the QLY-LIM results next week, then I’ve got two words: sore loser. Is it God’s way of telling me “You want these things but I have better things in store for you” or just part of my destiny to be turned down by almost all of the opportunities handed out to me? I am pretty much optimistic I will finally get to major next term, but the fact that I get rejected almost all the time makes me want to cry in a corner. 

Seriously though, am I really that bad to get rejected everywhere? 

Or am I too blind to realize those failures are actually blessings in disguise? 

Everything happens for a reason, indeed. I can’t blame God or myself all the time. Just like the Lasallian alma mater song, “Never shall we fail”.  

Come the next recruitment week of the SMO (Student Media Office), I will try my luck again in The Lasallian and probably Green and White. Let’s see if I am meant to be part of one of these publications (other than Malate of course). I cannot be a LAmb anymore because I will have three to terms left so I guess I have to accept I am not meant for it. Honestly speaking, I’d pick passing the retake of the Literature qualifying exam over the LAmb. Besides, I believe being a Literature major is written in the stars for me. 

So dear God, please make me a bonafide Literature major so I could defy all the odds. 

I just don’t want to feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind anymore.
