It is sooo obvious, its pathetic.

It just makes me wonder. How long can you actually keep a person in the dark? I mean, eventually, all secrets leak out (in one way or another) but I guess some secrets are better leaked directly from the source rather than from, uhmm ... other sources.

The last time a secret similar to this was about to be revealed, I had some form of faith, something inside me saying "Nah, that won't happen in a million years." And, there was at least some form of concealment, attempts of actually trying to act as if nothing is happening.

This time around, everything is just crappy. Quite unlike last year, this year is just - broken. In essence, nagkasiraan. There are no other relationships (platonic and romantic) to conceal things And there are probably no actual attempts of concealment - haha, or maybe I just got to know them better. All I am saying is that, if there are hardly any attempts for concealment, it would be common courtesy to tell me. So that I wont be walking around in the dark. I mean, the circle of people who have an idea as to what this really is, is very very very small, and I am bound to know anyway - the least that could have been done was tell it to me, directly - not from any other source.

Then again, maybe i do not have the right to know. Hmmm so then, what if I already do? Should i treat it like first-grade gossip? Spread it around? Maybe, or then again, maybe not. That's not me.

Tidbits.
Posted at 10:09 PM

Funny enough, this will be the first time I would be posting an entry for the second time in one day. Huh? hahaha Basta, the other was just so negative, I have to complement it with something light.

So anyway, I set out to do a lot of things today. It was really an uneventful day but there were minor highlights.

1. Got to see my Philosophy Pre-final oral grades. Haha no surprise there except for my grade for class participation. Thank God anne's multitude of stars did not affect the grade of those who have *ahem* a lesser number of stars.

2. History class was bittersweet. I will certainly miss Ma'am Habana as well as that special someone - kahit di niya ako kilala, pero the person was able to sneak several glances at me kanina (which I noticed kasi I was looking rin) kakahiya talaga - shameless stares.. nanibago siguro because of what I was wearing... haha dressing up kanina was so worth it...last day na naman kasi ng semester... goal number one achieved.

3. I discovered another good bathroom in the campus. haha it puts SEC-B 2nd Floor to shame, and I ain't in no mood to share. haha Plus, there was one weird thing that happened in another bathroom. Ewan, parang it could either be so flattering or just my imagination. Anyway, I dont want to discuss... kakahiya naman kung wala lang pala.

4. Got to see my history pre-final grades kanina. *smile* Haha natawa ako sa comment ni Joannah..
Jo: ikaw ba si 041520?
Me: Oo. Bakit?
Jo: shet ka. Ang taas mo.
Me: haha bakit ikaw?
Me: ah kasi, akala ko ako yung nakakuha ng mataas., yun pala ikaw.
It turns out, our student numbers are in close proximity to each other (as in magkasunod lang).. haha natawa talaga ako, pati student number ko namemorize! Anyway, I hope we can work together sa Hi 166. She has excellent work habits! Too bad Ma'am Habana won't be teaching next school year. I pray that she changes her mind. She can write naman after next year di ba?

5. I got to see my previous spanish teacher - Ma'am Heidi Aquino kanina. She greeted me with "como estas" and there could have been several replies to that - from the simple "estoy bien" to the exaggerated "encantado de la vida" - but i went blank and said "ok lang po" with a matching bow. Pucha!!! nakakahiya talaga. hahaha

6. I went to my last macroeco class kanina. I have this theory that sir did not speak tagalog the whole semester... pero nobody seems to notice. I asked a question kanina (in tagalog) and he did reply in tagalog! haha goal number two achieved.

7. Had the Regcom GA kanina. Early enlistment for this semester will be done online. Just one of the many times I wish that I had DSL!!! Pero, I applaud the MIS team... they are moving the Ateneo forward. Imagine, grades, curriculum, advisement and class schedules will all be under one website - just like browsing one's mail. That would be sooo cool! Regcom people would be the guinea pigs for this endeavor. Pero I feel there will be a lot of bumps in the road - starting with the fact that the quota of 5 is still there but there will no longer be early reservation. Agawan na to!

8. Earlier, Yeye brough some candy - butterball, and i dont know how it happened, but it ended up in the hands of Kamille. As usual, pagdating sa pagkain, lumalabas ang pagiging oink oink ko... hahaha my throat was sore during the commute home because of all the candy I had... hahahaa

9. I tried to finish the Lujipen article for Philosophy.. pero when i checked the list of thesis statements for the orals, di na pala kailangan eh! Haha Thank God! I dont think I have it in me to read the rest of that article.

10. Marketing competition tomorrow! Good luck to Summit Clear - the group that I am rooting for! I do hope that they win!

Anyway, it seems that a lot happened, pero actually wala lang yan. Just tidbits I want to remember...

Regcom tomorrow.
Posted at 04:22 PM

Well, today marks the end of my semester break. It was all too good  while it lasted. Regcom prep days will cover this whole week (exceptNov. 1 and 2 of course) and then, the actual registration will be the week of November 6. The days of waking up at four and sleeping at 11 are here once again. Actually, I aint complaining. The only drag about being part of Regcom is having to wake up at 4 to  reach the 6 am call time. The rest of it is just fun.

To be honest, never have i found any organization that really fits into my pseudo obssessive-compulsive nature. It could be hell for some people, but quite honestly, i find it enjoyable - distributing grades and regforms, answering questions, alphabetizing things, writing things etc.

After that, second semester will start. Time just flies by. And then, my junior year will end. Who would have thought it would fly by that fast? Times are indeed changing. People are changing. God, I hope I can deal with all of these.

I already signed up for most of my classes - online. Yes, online. It was kinda a drag because I had to do it over my dial up connection - but it was well worth the experience. Everything was there, curriculum, grades, cummulativ QPI - everything. Its funny having a peek as to how Ateneo files everything for every student. At the end of the day, its the letter mark that matters. The number of columnar pads behind that C+, or the number of notecards behind that A do not matter - just the letter mark. Well, probably the skill and knowledge as well... but thats a whole different area, one that is more qualitative than quantitative.

I have classes MWF from 9:30 to 1:30, TTH from 9-1:30 and S from 9 to 12nn. Not bad. I pity those with high random numbers, this sem has its share of slim pickings, slim pickings indeed. By the way, all but one of my classes are course majorsw - economics and management. I just hope they turn out to be easier than the image that their course titles exude.

This week also marks the end of my Triple R week. I do not intend to share what it is all about, but lets just say that this has long been overdue. Although not fully successful, i can say that I had fun. It is nice to have this feeling again.

I also am running low on funds. Haha no allowance = no liquid assets. And i do not want to touch my life savings again. Haha Its not like i have lots of money - heck, it can't even be called a life savings because I just started it last march. haha But, it really is for emergency situations. Triple R week has drained me dry. I am also thinking of selling my phone. I am actually starting to hate it. (this surplus of moments really has led me to hilarious situations) hahaha I, on the other hand, loooove my precious PDA. It has accompanied me through a lot of experiences this sem break.

I will be going back to Ateneo tomorrow. Haha I haven't been there since the night of the OPMAN defense and the release of Philosophy orals results. It seems that it has been so long ago. I will be seeing regcom people tomorrow as well.

That is it for now. I still have to prepare myself to wake up at 4 am tomorrow.
