Mixed emotions filled me up yesterday when I attended our graduation rites. I just don't know if I'm happy or sad.

Elation:

Yahoo!!! I did it! I survived 4 years of high school.. I have passed 4 years of long tests, complicated projects, all-night worrying and lots of other hardships.. That's OVER!

I am going to college! OMG.. I can't believe it.. Just 5 more years to go hehe

Sorrow:

Whoever said the goodbyes are never easy, he's right. DLSL has been a home for me for four years. And now, I'm going to leave it. I will also be away from my classmates and friends. We all treated each other as a part of a one big happy family and now we're moving on. We all have chosen different paths and now we came to the forked part of the road. We will go on in our separate ways. I can't imagine that the faces I see everyday in school will be, in a way, gone. I got used to see these people and in June, I will be seeing unfamilliar faces-the faces of strangers.

Argh! Ever since Thursday, I've been trying to create a new post. Blogger were having problems and unfortunately, I'm one of those affected. In the past days, EVERY URL that has "post" in it would never upload at all! I would wait for the page to upload for 1-2 hours and it would never show up! I could just not believe my luck!

I finished the Series of Unfortunate Events! I remember it was August 2006 when I started collecting the 13 books. And now, I did it! I have it all from The Bad Beginning to The End.

Last Yuletide Season, my cousin asked me what gift I would like for Christmas. I said I wanted Book the Tenth of the Series. My father knew about this agreement. Since he was thinking of helping me in completing the Series, he bought Book the Eleventh until Book the Thirteenth. And when Christmas Eve came, my father gave me the books but my cousin changed her mind on what she wants to give me. So, what I have that time are books 1-9 and 11-13. And ever since, everytime we go to a bookstore, I will search for the Book 10. But, it will always turns out that they don't have a copy of that book! And when I went to Bay Mall last Thursday, there it was! And now I have it all! Yay!!

Last Sunday, I finished reading The End. Until now, I am quite speechless with the ending. I still don't know if I'm happy with the ending or not and if all the mysteries that formed in my head were solved or not. I think I'm just not satisfied with how it ended. (But still I finished them all! Yay!)

Last Sunday, a family in the compound have gone to Australia. This means another friend left the compound. Through the years that I have lived in the compound, I have seen people come and go. Friends either migrate to another country or live in Manila to study. The latter still ,of course, comes back in summer and in June, I will be one of them. But those who migrate comes back mostly after 2-4 years. We all know that one by one, our families will migrate to other countries as well and our time being one of the "Batang Tabangao" will be finished. I know each one of us willl be sad when that happens since most of us, like me, have spent their childhood days in the compound with one another.

But until that time comes, I'm just happy that I still live here and I'm still with my childhood friends.

500,000 light-years have passed since my father deprived me of my right to use the damn computer… Actually it’s just for the weekend since I have the computer all to myself during the daytime on weekdays and he and my sister has work/schoolwork to do. But still, this idea made my weekend boring to the Core. I mean I could only resort to the tv and my cell phone as my only sources of entertainment! And I have things to do with the computer! the result: a bored and cranky psyChe.

~The To Do List~

1. update mp3 files on mp4
2. transfer recorded music videos from mp4 to computer
3. check e-mail and friendster account
4. make the first post on blog

As you can see, I’m now on no. 4. People close to me will be shocked and surprised to know that I have a blog. I cannot even believe it myself. First of all, a blog is relatively like a diary and I have never had a diary before. I have really tried writing on a diary before but it only lasted for a week and *poof* the diary is out of my head and never to return again. I just don’t have enough patience (and the handwriting) to write (or in this case, type) down my thoughts and ideas. Second, a blog needed a design and I just don’t have any creative bone in my body. I could sometimes think of a nice design once in a while but I could not just transpire my idea into reality that well.

So how come I have one right now? Blame it (Sorry, I can’t think of any word which can be a nicer word than blame right now) on 2 people namely, jadenmd and deynti. I promised this two that if they will help me with my no. 2 reason, I will update my blog as frequently as possible or else they will kill me (just kidding! but really, I usually am the one who does the killing).
