MASAKIT BA SA MATA ANG KULAY?

is it better if i use purple instead?

I feel so drained having an average of 4 hours of sleep every night for the past 5 days. first, it was the 13-page resource unit which i had to do overnight because of that stupid midterm lec-lab midterm which was announced just 1 day before the exam! how can these creatures expect us to study for a midterm exam in one night?! yes, we know that the exam was "expected" since it was midterm week, but atleast they couldve made the announcement days earlier than the exam!! midterm exams are supposed to be announced 1 week before the exam date, not 1 day!! well, what's done is done. let's just hope my previous scores can compensate for that exam. :(

anyway, after the exams and paperworks came the founder's day celebration. it started with the Torch Parade last wednesday at around 7 pm. ended up at around 8:30, went around the booth area for a couple of minutes then went home. i was too exhausted too stay at the booth area.

friday came and it was another looonggg day. We were required to watch the Outstanding Sillimanians Awarding at Luce. We thought we had to be in semi-formal attire so rizza, madz, suzzie n i wore skirts. for all we know, it was ok to wear jeans. what a shame. we didnt finish to ceremony since it was also the open house for the girls' dormitories. we went out at around 11am to catch the last minutes of the open house. went to jua's room, ate junkfood, hung out for a while then proceeded to the next room. did the same things with 5 other rooms. :) then i ate lunch with mom and spent the afternoon with her and my aunt. our booth watching schedule was supposed to start at 4pm til 7, but being the late comer that i am, i arrived at 5pm. there wasnt much to do since there were so many nursing students at our booth already that we didnt really need to watch it anymore. so ate mar, suz, madz, rizza n i rented the improvised bicycle from the engineering booth. it looked like a kalesa except that it had 2 sets of pedals for two people instead of a horse. we had so mcuh fun riding around the booth area looking like little girls riding on a bike ofr the first time, shouting, screaming whenever someone was blocking the way since it had no brakes and the steering wheel was so wobly. the time limit was supposed to be jusr 15 minutes but we got so carried away that we didnt realize that we were riding around like crazy for almost an hour already. if that engineering guy didnt approach us, we woudnt have stopped. hehe :) after our ride has been "confiscated", we opted to have dinner since all of us were so exhausted from all that screaming and laughing. after dinner, we pretty much just hung out at our booth.

i met a handful of old and new faces that night. first was bj, suzzie's ex who now studies in cebu but came back to dgte for the weekend. then there was meggy, madz's boyfriend, whom she is madly, deeply inlove with. finally, after all the kilig stories we hear from her almost everyday, it's nice to see the princess's counterpart of the fairytale. :) i also met pagong, or rather, Engr. Bulandres, who graduated 2 years ago and is now an "international" engineer. hehe. i havent seen him for the longest time. i guess the last time i ever saw him was days before his graduation when we still used to hang out at the Stairz. i never saw him after he graduated. i just heard he took the board in september that same year and passed it as well. then i heard he was working somewhere in Luzon with his dad and mine. then i heard he also worked in papua and only came back to pinas for a couple of weeks before leaving for work again. and i also heard he got together with his childhood friend, eunice, who also hung out with us when she was still in college. their love story was sweet. i was so happy when i heard that they were a couple. they look good together. :) he introduced me to his friends: ken, gabby and earnest who were his batchmates in college and equally successful engineers at the present. they were nice. then i also met mara and mae, my high school buddies who came to visit the booth area.

we went home at around midnight. it was weird leaving the booths since people were only arriving when we left. although a part of me wanted to stay, my body was already complaining and my mom was already calling. when i got home, i dropped dead in my bed and woke up at 6:45. i was supposed to wake up early since the cheering competition starts at 7:30. i promised suzzie that i would be at their house at 7, but again, being the late comer that i am, i arrived at around 7:30. when we arrived at the sports complex, the entrance line was a mile long! buti nalang, we managed to make singit at the middle part of the line. :)

College of Nursing won again!! CHAMPION pare!!! We also got the Perpetual Trophy for being the champion for 3 straight years!!! woohooo!!!

but honestly, i think last year's performance was better. but then again, im not complaining. im still thankful that we won. :) Congrats!!!
