Last Day of March! Already?

It's the 31st of March already?

It seems only yesterday when I wrote my last post, and I remember it was March 1.

This month had been very busy.

To-do List

1. Make final exams for three subjects I am teach.
2. Administer the exams to eight classes.
3. Check the exam papers of more than 200 students.
4. Check final projects.
5. Compute the grades.
6. Make removal exams for unfortunate students.
7. Administer removals exams.
8. Check removal exam papers.
9. Finalize grades of students.
10. Release the grades.

All of these while making sure that the revision of the BSIS curriculum is in order (We are currently revising the curriculum of three of our programs, BS Computer Science, BS Information Technology, and BS Information Systems. I'm in the BSIS group.)!




So far, I'm halfway through! I don't know how I can finish the other half before Monday!

But, I gotta do it! Got to!

OK! Back to work!
I just drop by to post an update. My 5-minute break is up! （‐＾▽＾‐）

Here Comes March!

It's March!

Honestly, the month that I've always dreaded (Since I was 20, at least)!

Sometime in March, a year is added to my age! Wuaha! It sucks everytime!

I've always hated when someone greeted me a Happy Birthday! It's mostly not a happy one. Since it's in the third week of March and almost the end of the school year here in the Philippines, I always had to celebrate it with me sitting the Final Examinations on all my subjects at school! Who can have a happy birthday with a stressed out mind! The thought of failing my exams was enough to damp my mood!

Even if I decided to not care about exams and just have fun on my birthday, I don't have anyone to celebrate it with coz all my friends cared about their own exam scores! (The bane of leaving alone in college!)

I keep repeating to myself that it's just a number added to my age but, sometimes, I can't deny that it does affect me in many ways I have not realized before.

For one thing, "what I want to do" and "what the society expects me to act" are totally different!

The world does become wider as you grow older, but it becomes so restricted that you suffocate. Sometimes, I watch my fourteen-month old niece playing and laughing out loud and thought "What would I give to feel that way again? Without a care in the world! And the only thing that consumes your mind is playing with your toys!"

Anyway, enough with this....

Going to have my Sunday jog. A way to relax the body and mind and think things through!

P.S. I dreamed of someone I try to forget! Not good, eh? Not good at all!
じゃね！（＾＿＾）ノ

Let's sweep these feelings with the morning wind!

A Contradiction

I wonder why your tweets make me wanna punch you and kiss you at the same time! (＝⌒▽⌒＝)

It's a question that I know I will never be able to answer.

K-kun!
大好き！
でも大嫌いも！

P.S. Something is amiss. I can't shake off this feeling lately. I feel anxious, nervous, and my whole body tingles all the time that I have to stand up and walk around every couple of minutes to work it off.

Bloody hell! I'll just sleep this off!

Feeling Deviant

Why is it so hard for me to conform to the norms?

I always find myself wanting to be different from the rest. I hesitate to jump to the bandwagon and feel myself belong to the "normal" people.

Sometimes, I wonder why my mind's wavelength is not the same with everyone else's! (-^□^-)

In school, I always find myself with different opinion from everyone else. I always have a different tastes in music, art, hobbies, interests. I always find that I read different kinds of books. I was always alone in a section of the library....

That feeling of 'belonging' is so hard to come by. Only with my family a couple of really close friends that I can be as close to ME as possible.

Only in my mind can I be REALLY me!

It's not that I don't like it. As a matter of fact, I revel my being different.

At times, I worry, too. I don't want to find myself quite alone...

At the moment, I try to get along with everyone. But it's really a bother to be always misunderstood. I can't help it at times when I let my guard down. It's a little tiring sometimes.

Anyways, I am just feeling a little emo! (^_^)v

It's always a breather to speak my mind here where no one (at least, no one I personally know) can read what I write. o(^-^)o

With everything said....

毎日毎日頑張ります！

Hearts Day, Everyday!

I don't get the big fuss of being single on the 14th of February of every year.

I am sure it would be awesome to be with your girlfriend or boyfriend on this day, but would it be reason enough to feel bitter or crestfallen?

I'm pretty sure it defeats the purpose of this special day to be sad and disappoint for just the reason. It isn't like you don't have the gift of family and friends!

It is not the end of the world, people!

On a different but related note, today was as special as any day for me!

With family and friends, every day is always special. I am not saying this just because maybe I am being bitter and trying to sound cheerful, but because I am sincerely happy.

I always cherish a weekend with the whole family. Since, my mother unexpectedly passed away just recently, my family and I realized that every second spent with each other is every bit as special and priceless!


Good morning, morning!


My sisters and my niece, Aya, at the center. That's my father at the back!


My cousin, Xyza, and my my sister, Hera.



Every weekend, we always try to get together, either for a family bonding movie time, a lunch at our favorite restaurant, or just an early morning walk.

Today, since it's the weekend, we woke up early for our weekend jog. Later in the morning, my aunt, uncle, and cousins joined us and we played lawn tennis!







Then we had snacks at Dunkin Dounuts!







Later today, we will go to the cemetery to visit my mother's grave and have a picnic there. Then off to have Valentines Day dinner before a movie marathon all through the night!

Tomorrow....

Hmmm.....

I think, let's leave tomorrow a surprise!

I do like a spontaneous day once in a while, when I surrender control of my schedule to chances and blissful miss-happenings!

How was your Hearts Day today? (^_^)/
