Graduated!

Oh yes. With UP's stamp of approval in it.

Despite the complaints we had about our grad dress, we did ok during the ceremonies. And masscomm wouldn't be masscomm kung walang mga PASAWAY. "Bawal mag-sleeveless?" You have studes wearing off-shoulder, halter, tube, and anything-without-sleeves dresses. "Dapat white grad dress?" You have beige (which is actually pale brown); one even wore a black skirt. And when the admin said, "dapat closed shoes," of course expect J-anne to be one true pasaway by wearing strappy sandals. I love masscomm!!! ;p

Graduation made me nostalgic, look back at my Engg days. I'm happy that half of us (our block, I mean) are already graduates, with only a few ones making that pivotal mark in their lives when they'll eventually succeed (and FINALLY graduate! Jonah, you can do it!). And of course I'll be forever grateful to CMC for giving me the drive and inspiring me to accomplish things beyond my limits.

So, so, so. Am I hearing, "mag-wo-work ka na ba?" or, "where will you apply?"? I am still waiting for ABS's nod after a month-long application. My interview with the VP went fine, though of course I'm not sure if she considered me fine for ABS. When before I am not that hopeful, I am now, considering that I already went through what I considered the last phase of the app process (unless Gabby Lopez needs to interview me, too?!?). Will keep you posted what happens next. Sige, kabuhayan muna atupagin ko....

Chin broke her goddamn chin

This almost-fatal "accident" happened just this afternoon. I was fooling around with the jumping rope, did at least 50 jumps with it. After that, I jokingly told my sisters, "naku, feeling ko magpa-pass out ako." Then I just fell forward. My chin absorbed the impact of my fall, thus resulting to a deep cut in the chin and lip. I passed out twice. When I finally woke up, the whole family was hysterical, telling me, shouting at me, that I should be rushed to the hospital.

And since I'm already conscious, my first thought was, "sandali, magbibihis lang ako! Nakapambahay ako e!" Then I changed to somewhat decent clothes, laughingly grabbed some tissue, and tried to wipe my bloodied mouth and chin.

Four stitches were needed to close the cut on my chin. I was concerned with how much time it will take for the stitches to be healed, since, well, you know... malapit na graduation. Kakahiya naman kung may tahi ako sa baba, di ba? Hehe.

And so I am now sporting a bandage on my chin, with a cut lip to boot.
Feeling ko I'm a contestant for "The Contender."

And that's how Chin broke her goddamn chin.

hunchbutt, midnight snack, yema adik, and J-O-E-Y at the Sunken...(believe me Sunken yan, di nga lang kita, madilim e)

Blanko.Bored.Blah.

I never thought I'd dread the day I'd be doing...NOTHING.

Yep, at di ko alam kung ano una kong gagawin ngayon. Dapat ba akong
a) manood ng TV magdamag?
b) magbasa ng libro magdamag?
c) lumafang magdamag?
d) tumunganga sa harap ng PC magdamag?
e) lumayas ng bahay?
f) all of the above?

As they say, our thesis days are over. I'm sure not going to miss the deadlines, but I'd definitely reminisce about our ma-parusang data-gathering, dahil sa pinagpilitan naming mag-survey sa buong Metro Manila. Oh well ok naman kinalabasan ng thesis e. Nakakaloka lang ang remark ni Ma'am sa final draft namin: "you should use Times New Roman...." Huwaattt??? After so many drafts na cute-na-cute-na-Futuristic font ang ginamit namin, we have to re-format our paper to make it extremely BORING with a TNR font??? And pagdating sa binding ng thesis, ilagay ba naman daw ang thesis ni Tasha sa thesis cover namin! Hehe buti na lang nakita namin agad....kundi....

Still waiting if I'm going to get accepted for that job in ABS. Sana. Juice ko, nag-invest na'ko ng pera diyan ha, preparing for the interview... So far, sa 3 beses na balik ko don, wala pa rin akong nakikitang artista. Corny.

Wow, I miss UP already.

Last Friday, Jeg "midnight snack," Gwyn "J-O-E-Y," Mel "Hunchbutt," and yours truly, Chin "Yema adik," went to Sunken....para ano pa? e di mag-senti. Had fun eating dinner there, exchanging/listening to stories about 'bokot' boyfriends and happy relationships with current ones. At ang walang katapusang posing sa camera...ika nga ni Joy, "cam whore" na daw ako ;P

Can't wait for the "new phase" in my life to begin... But for now, my day's just a complete BLAH.
