Life Update #2: First Week of College

Living away from home -- in a place without my mommy by my side or even a helper to cook food for me wasn't really a problem for me because ever since, I was always away from home for a couple of days. I'm always out there joining Journalism competitions and the like which is really far from our place so I had to sleep where the competitions were held. I also know how to cook and bake and stuff, so eating a "real food" isn't really a problem to me. I was really used to living with myself (but not totally, like really), but not until now.

You see, I am studying in the University of Santo Tomas, taking up Architecture. My college is known to be the "college that never sleeps" so I really have to live in a dormitory for my life to be easier. I think? Haha. I've been here for a couple of days now and for some reason, I was feeling very home sick! Separation anxiety? Haha! I was really having a hard time eating (even if I had the appetite) and sleeping so I was sleeping very late in the evening for the entire week. I also don't have an internet connection inside my room so I had nothing to do.

I was also at loss for a kadaldalan  in my dorm because 1) My sibs/mother isn't here for me to tell everything  to them 2) I don't feel like talking to my dormmates 3) Jesse was busy. But of course, a person is nothing without her best friend so Michelle was there the whole time! I was already crying because I had no one to talk to and good thing that she had her mobile phone already (yay Michelle!) so we went on texting for several nights. Add the fact that I was feeling nauseous every single night without me knowing why.

My first day of college? Well it didn't turn out how I imagined it to be. Our first day as blockmates was also our freshmen orientation and campus tour so we didn't have much time to talk. It was also scorching hot that day that made me feel irritable that made me not in the mood to talk. I imagined myself as the loud one on the first day maybe because of adrenaline but... yeah... my imagination didn't come true. No regrets, though! On the second day... I can't remember a thing on my second day. :|

But so far, I have made friends. It wasn't that hard, thank God! As usual, I'm with a bunch of guys plus one girl. I sometimes think that I'm becoming a guy because, well, I would just like to think that. Haha! I am also talking to some of the girls in my block, of course, but then again I prefer to be with guys as my companions because they do not have that much "arte" in their system. I would like myself to be the only one being maarte in the group. Hahaha! Selfish, I know. But more to that, guys are really great companions because they're funny, they're quick, they take care of you, and you won't feel stabbed behind your back when you're with them.

On the first week, we didn't have much assignments and/or stuff to do. Most of our professors were late, absent, or they give us early dismissals and such. But as I am currently typing this, my second week of college is about to end so I have to face a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow.

Blog post soon about the celebration of Jesse and I's first anniversary! :) 

Life Update #1: Bum

Summer's almost over and I am not that proud of what I did the whole time. I was a total bum. I think I was too tired and lazy to do everything because I am still drained from the past years. Highschool wasn't really easy, and I know that what I will be facing for the next few days will be harder. Though I cannot stop myself from being too excited because for the years to come after my college graduation, I will be making my own money!

I will be showing you what I did this summer and what I will be doing until its last few days in pictures!

Here are pictures of the heroes that I use when playing League of Legends. I admit that I can't stop playing it because it always comes to a point where I sleep three hours past midnight. Huhuhu As a result, I promised myself to stop playing it when school starts. Wish me luck hahaha

One of my favorite scenes in the Card Captor Sakura series! My sister had all the episodes (even the movies! which sucked by the way) downloaded by her classmate and then we watched it afterwards for three days! (With sleep and food breaks, of course) Now that we finished the series, we're repeating it again because we will never get tired of Sakura! We tried to re-watch another tv series we got addicted to, which is Special A, but we kept on landing back to Sakura. Haha!

I've been busy going back and forth to LTO these past few days with my sister to apply for a student permit in driving. I will be having driving classes (starting tomorrow!) and I hope I do well. I'm kind of nervous and excited at the same time, I don't know what to feel!  

Lastly, I've been making grilled cheese sandwiches a lot for me and my family. I like sandwiches very much, most especially if it has cheese (and it's melted)! It's easy to make and I consider it as a "totoong pagkain". If you're always with me you would know which food I consider real or not. Hahaha.

So there! My "summer" summed up. Kind of. Though I must say, my best summer so far was last year because I didn't experience the extreme heat that you were experiencing then. LOL 

CAT Swimming

One of our CAT traditions is to bond with each other during the CAT-COCC swimming. Unfortunately, heavy rain poured on that day so only few people were able to attend. I was really looking forward to this because I really miss my mates! Plus, I wasn't able to attend last year so I wanted this to be memorable. The last time that I was able to bond with them was I think two or three days before our graduation.

The place where we stayed! I really don't like swimming so I didn't bring clothes and all. I was just there for pictures. Haha! 

Joelle and Michelle! My both sabog friends. 

Bench bodies haha! Hello there Xavier, Ado and Mark! 

Ado and his career. Wish him luck. Hahaha! 

Look how few we were! 30 people were expected to come so that we could pay the pool rental but it was really a fail. We were having dilemmas and we got no food! Haha yet we had fun, really. It was really nice to be with them again. 

Even though we only got close last year, there's this really fun aura when you're with them. I really like being with my mates because I feel very comfortable with them. Looking forward for another get-together with them. :3 

Mother's day celebration

My mom having to work again (she stopped for a year because she wanted some break) put a lot of downsides especially this summer because we weren't able to go out whenever we wanted to. So, Mother's day was not just a day for mothers all over the world, but to us, it was a day for us to bond as a family. 

The night before the said event, my siblings got to have this mini cake for free and I was the one who kind of designed it. Just for fun. 

Do you know Cri-Kee from Mulan? My sibs and I got used to call our mom Cri-Kee because she's small and she says a lot of things that only she understands. lol 

This was our gift to her. She's been eyeing it for several years (and I'm not even exaggerating haha) but even if she had money for it, she wouldn't buy it! It's too expensive for me and my sibs so we had our dad sponsor it for us. Hahaha! 

Jesse and I were having our 11th month that day, too!

Out of the topic, but meh.

We went to Southmall that day because we haven't been there in ages. Plus, the weather was really bipolar so we chilled in the mall. Aaaand I had milk tea again! What's new? Haha I've been addicted to it ever since I went back and forth to UST for a couple of days T__________T 

This is what I really like when we're eating dinner at Burgoo. The "vandalize" all you can. Hahaha! Hotdog day = Mothers' day. Some of you may get the idea. Haha. My sister is mean, I'm telling you. 

Drew a bird to mock my sister. Hihi it's a badly drawn bird but who cares? And a Durian because her boyfie is from Davao. Now don't get offended, people from Davao. I'm just mocking my sister :P 

Dinner *u* 

Too bad that my favorite steak wasn't available so I had to settle with Angus Rib-Eye (lower right) which I didn't like :( 

Looks yummy, tastes otherwise. It's just too sweet and creamy and ugh. I am a fan of desserts, especially those with strawberries, but I gave up on this one. 

With my fatty family haha

I hate it when I'm in the mood to blog but then Blogger doesn't work with me! I'm so sorry for the late posts! But I have two posts coming up after this, watch out. :3 

Photoblog: Yearbook shoot BTS

Unfortunately, I can only show you the behind the scenes pictures I have since the official photos is still under post processing. Nevertheless, I'm hyped about the results!
