kings and queens and fulfilled dreamsi wanna thank my friend nadz onglao for inviting me to her prom. lemme just say that the prom, the whole night, was [british accent]
fantastic! [/british accent] i wish i had pictures, but unfortunately, i wasn't able to bring my camera.
hmm, it was fun to wear a pink tie for the night. i think i looked [british accent]
rather dashing [/british accent]. hehehehe.
tim yap hosted the prom. he kept getting the names wrong. "cara" became "carol", and when he was corrected by the WHOLE audience, it became "caro". great man.
anyway, next week is my own ball. i've finally decided [after long hours of thinking] to bring someone. and i hafta say, wouldn't be anyone else i'd rather go with. naks! hehehehe. :)
if you take me to the beach, i'll kiss youdamn. boracay plans have come crashing down on us like a failed test that you studied your heart out for. hats off to mr. joel sy who planned, scheduled and reserved everything [to add to the fact that he was the most intense among all of us] only to have everything sail off. wah. it's okay joel, we can always go to tagaytay highlands or la union or our farm or my house or greg's house or any other place... just not boracay. lest the impending "
underwater sea bombing" that awaits us [that was the reason why mico jau was not allowed]. whee. damn it.
i was really really looking forward to this trip. really really. [saying 'really' twice adds emphasis doesn't it? hihi] the other day, i wasted hard-earned money on a pair of nice board shorts [since i hadn't any and it would make a good investement] and i was soo eager to actually put em on on a nice beach and just kinda lie on the sand or on a nice little hammock by the beach and think about strawberry skies and butterflies. ahhhhh.
i can hear the soft serenade of the waves already. but dude, i'm not that shallow [i am, just not to that extent], it's not just the shorts, it's the entire feeling that comes with it. that sense of freedom, excitement, and yes, adventure. "bora with friends". it's every teenager's dream vacation. and now, it'll remain
JUST a dream. no more lounging about on the beach, waiting for your brain to atrophy. no more stereo-typical beach sunsets, a synonym for the word "
ROMANSA"! hehehe. no more hot chicks in bikinis. no more use to the saying "what happens in boracay, stays in boracay. - Mico Quesada" hahaha. oh well. we'll always have
[type name of place here].
the ride [to second] home.i have always, always [saying 'always' twice adds emphasis, doesn't it] enjoyed the ride going to school. it's a stupid thing to enjoy if you know you've got a million things to do, a thousand long tests to pass, and a hundred hours of sleep to lose once you actually get to school. but then again, i enjoy it because in the brief 12-15 minutes i'm in the car, i forget about all those and just enjoy the
simpler things .
my driver would always put down his sun-blocking-device-thingie to shield his eyes from the morning sun. bright and annoying as it may be, i never put down my sun-blocking-device-thingie. i close my eyes for a brief period, take in the sun as it hits my face, and think of all the songs that make me smile, and i thank Him for another day. i guess you could say that would be my daily prayer. it isn't much, but it means much to me.
another thing to enjoy is he slight chance that the radio stations might play a really nice song. a little more reason to keep me sane throughout the whole day. if not, there's always CD's. but you know, there's this really fulfilling feeling when the radio, out of the blue, when you least expect it, plays one of your favorite songs. you go "ohmahgawd. tis my song!!", and you frantically increase the volume.
usually, i get crappy in the evening. i mean all the problems, all the bad things always seem to happen at night. in the morning, on the way to school, that short span of 15 minutes allows me to tone down and feel better. it's weird actually. it's like that 15 minute window creates a blank in my head and erases all the bad-ness.
i guess going to school is much like life. [naks naman the simile!] with strife, desolation, and doom coming your way, it's best to just relax, enjoy the trip, make the most out of it. and heck, it gets me through the day everyday.
15 minutes of freedom.
may luha at dahas sa darating na bukas, ngunit habang gabi walang mababakas.last na 'tohwell. just three exams away from the rest of my life. i dunno how to feel. really. i'm lost for words. i just wanna say that the highschool has been the worst years of my life. but then, have you ever stopped to anazlyze that the worst years of your life are actually the best as well? therefore, highschool has been the best years of my life. i'm very grateful. i wouldn't wanna live it all over again, but i'm really really [there's that 'really really' again] thankful that i did.
see you tomorrow.
tomorrow is not just nother day, it's a day like no other.
the adventure ended at 8:42 PM
