Ain't Awry February

Another month went by and I just have to post an update to keep my promise of keeping this alive. *Sighs*

Well, hello there. Love month's about to end and oh, there goes March! Which means school's about to end anytime soon. Do I hear a whooping yay? Oh yes, there goes my jam right there. Oooohhh, delightful music at its finest.

So, what have I been up to?

First off, we had our Midterm exams. I know, I have to do better! I myself am disappointed with this too, ugh. Think positive!

It's my first Valentine's Day with a date! Of course, you know who I was with-- my R! And here's the only VDay-related photo taken that day. At home with the doughnuts he gave me! Yay to diabetayyy!

I actually got involved in a fight with my bestfriends a few days before V Day. I swear, it was the worst week of my life! Good thing though, we were able to settle it on that day and ta-da! United once again.

Finally! Natuloy din after three failed plans. Full Force went to Star City!!! It was helluva day and I love that I spent it very well.

Back to school madness: It's election time once again! A4S took part in the iFamily-- Partido Independiente's group of campaign managers. Oh, and guess what? The partido is all in! Congrats, guys! And here are your happy campaigners from IR-257!

I guess that's it. February's about to end and I'm glad I filled it with good memories. Check! And here goes my most recent photo with blockmates! Weewhoop! Tell me I look less shittier than usual. Ha!

The Full Force Birthday Experience

Here goes my first post for twenty-thirteen! Hey, y'all! How ya doin'? Before we go to the part where I rant about the recent best thing that happened in my life, I think it's obligatory to post a simple greeting like this since I haven't posted anything for a while and we're halfway through the month and... you get me. I'm sort of neglecting my baby bloggie and knowing me, you know that I feel bad every time it happens. Apologies, readers! (If I have one, lol) It's a part of my resolution to be more active but heck, school's draining the energy outta me so I can't manage but I'll try to keep you posted for time to time! Deal?

Anyway, I just turned 18! Hurraaaahhhh! I'm minor no more and... I still look like one? LOL, I kid. But everybody knows that so I won't argue anymore. Hihi. And I guess I had the best birthday surprise a girl could ever ask for. Commencing story in 3...2...1...

...

It's a normal day for everyone and a not-so normal day for me. 15th January 2013, I'm going legal! I didn't expect for anything to happen, except for a few greetings maybe, but not all these swoon-worthy surprises which totally struck me with giddiness, awe, and every synonym you can find. Let me hear your shrieks; eeeehhh!

I went to school on my usual time-- 5 something, and arrive there eventually like, 6 something. I bumped into Jans on my way to school so we just went together. Yeah, they all greeted me, even Chella and Charmaine who just dropped by, and Dhanica, Rhea, Charry, and many others too. All my friends were like "Ano ba meron ngayon?" or "Mayro'n bang may birthday?" yadda yadda. I knew they were kidding but heck, it made me feel bad! They've been doing it for days and when I said they, the boy is included. For cries' sake! I even felt like crying. And t'was the same reason why I didn't expect a lot, really. Sigh. But not until we went out after being dismissed early.

We arrived at the IR square like nothing's gonna happen. My friends and I went down to grab a quick brekky at the canteen and we even came back shortly. I really didn't know that there was a surprise until I set foot back in the IR Square and everybody broke into a song singing "Happy Birthday, Jowi" to me! I was so caught off-guard, I didn't know how to react. All the singing is nice and touching but what's nicer and more touching is when my boy came out in the middle of the song, handing me a bouquet of Ferrero! It was helluva surprise since I told him months ago that ever since, I've been dying to receive one and I didn't know that he was going to give it to me sooner than I thought he will. Eep! I'm guessing everyone's more kilig than I was since all my friends and all the by-passers are smiling and in awe!

That magical moment. ♥

With thy college barkada, minus some Teehee.

And I thought that was it. English class passed and my teacher who has the same birthday was surprise by my classmates too. After which, we then evacuated and moved to our Research Method room wherein we did nothing so I was expecting to have some daldalan sessions with Rhea who was nowhere in sight. I didn't wonder why 'cause I thought I got all my surprises that day so I looked for Ralph instead. He also ditched the class so I sent him an SMS wherein he replied; "I'm having my brekky, see you later!" Yeah and I failed to notice that Charmaine was MIA too. For an hour and 30, I read Paper Towns with the thought that my friends didn't even prepared for my birthday 'cause it came to me that they must have thought that I now have a boy and I no longer need them. D'awww. Little did I know that they will come towards the end of the class and surprise me with cakes! Then, they lead me into the next room and on my seat lies a note (or notes in this case) which has "18 Reasons Why I Love You" written on it. Eeeehhhh! *insert super kilig emoticon here* Too bad I can't supply you with photos, they haven't uploaded yet! But I will update this if ever.

This has been the greatest birthday so far. Thanks, guys! You totally saved me from slashing my wrist. Jk! But really, thanks. I love you all!

PHOTODUMP: Badet's 18th Birthday Celebration

Sooo, a close friend held her debut last night at Hotel H2o somewhere in Manila and-- voila! Here's a blogpost dedicated to our vanity. I won't be posting lotsa pictures though, just a few of which I looked decent in. Teehee.

DISCLAIMER: Photos aren't mine, they're Danela Bautista's and Suzanne Ubaldo's. Thank you, Dane and Zhayne!

At Charry's dorm. Ready to go!

With my girl, Rhea.

Candid. This was pre-party, actually. I know, I looked stress, and that's because I was caught in the middle of a misunderstanding with my baby, Janice. We're fine now, though!

With Rhea, Suzanne and Agatha while waiting for the debutant!

5/16 of Full Force! This was during the duration of the program, I guess. With Ralph, Charry, Sam, and Jans.

Two of my bestfriends, my boy, and Pong right there but concealed, had a little something for Badet so yeah, they were at the stage, singing.

With you-know-who, my you-know-what-his-role-in-my-life-is. ♥

After everything else. With 3/5 of Awesome Foursome! And you know what's crazy? We're all wearing lace and we didn't even talked about it.

With my girls! Almost everyone's single-- pick one! Lol.

With Badet, the birthday girl! And Full Force. And some people from my school and I don't really know them.

With Charry, Kisses, and Sam! This was at the dance showdown I guess. HAHA. Guess who won.

At Liquid! The after-party we all went to. Guess who had Vanilla Milkshake and was reading 50 Shades instead. Thanks a lot, dad and your extended security, my future boyf.

Closing this blog with a photo of yours truly. Hihi. They wanted it to be colorful so I wore striking orange and blue. Teehee.

I had fun and I know everybody does as well. Thank you, Badet! We owe you one. Be one of the fiercest girls out there 'cause I know you're an amazona. Love you!

So This Is What They Call "Outdoors"

I'M BAAAAAAAAAACCCKKKK! Guess who just flew in from New York City, Las Vegas, Paris, Santorini, and New Caledonia?!

Uhhh, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not me. Mehehehehe.

My good ol' techless life over the past few weeks consisted of sleepovers, impossible (day) dreams, frequent trips to slumberville, super seldom gala with friends, derpin' on the phone with my super mega foxy awesome hot bestfriend, yadda yadda, blah blah blah, it's downright unproductive and I swear, you wouldn't want to hear anything about it. But I kept track of everything that happened while I'm gone... So, shall we?

MARCH 31, 2012 - Bottoms up!

So... we went to Las Piñas for Yam's birthday bash and our `last day of school` kickoff. Yes, it's the kind of breather a partygoer -slash - stressed out college student would want! Flowing drinks, karaoke nights, and... smooching sweethearts? You got it. And I never imagine myself in such place! I mean, I have forsworn that I'd never drink alcohol but... I had no choice! Well, I had choices actually, and I chose the "not-so-good" way 'cause you know... so I could say that for once in my life, at least I did. Teehee. Bad, I know. T'was also the first time that I missed the train! Apparently, the station was already closed by the time we got there so we had no choice but to take the risky choice -- the jeepney. Good thing, I only had 6 shots and it's not enough to knock me down. Speaking of shots, I think I was intoxicated for a week or two! This ridiculous, uh, something I felt, uhm... how should I put this into words? I don't know! And I'm not spilling any beans regarding that 'cause A.) It's disgusting, and B.) Because it's ridiculous... and disgusting. Whew, I took it off of my head several weeks ago and I can't believe I'm talking about it again. Ok, let's get this over with! Lesson learned; don't get carried away with your feelings... especially when you're just 98% sober. Ha!

APRIL 4, 2012 - "APPY" 18TH BIRTHDAY!

One of my dearest friends for life celebrated her birthday! Oh and, did I mention that the whole barkada's invited? Yaaaayyy! The reunion we've all been waiting for! Nehhhh, scratch the reunion thing. We're incomplete. But, aaacccckkkk. I had so much fun! It felt like the whole posse's there when in fact, we're just half of the whole bunch. All the stories told, craziness, sarcasms, and, and... basically, everything! No words can express how much I miss them and how happy they made me. It's just too freakin' euphoric for my life, I felt my heart jump out of my ribcage! Hands down to the greatest (and biggest, lol) barkada ever!

Selected photos! Looool. (c) April Aquino

APRIL 10, 2012 - Bestfriends!

And this is what I missed the most -- hanging out with my bestfriend! After merely 7 months of not seeing each other, finally. We had all the time in the world to do it all again! The hustle and bustle of college had us cancelling our plans so we had no choice but to wait 'til summer. We also got one of our kabarkadas to come with us! So, it was Marian, Meng and I who were laughing hardcore over everything that we missed out on each other's lives. Dreng was missing in action though, so we're all looking forward to another getaway soon!

APRIL 14, 2012 - Heartbeat running away

We're all set for grade distribution. We all went to school for that reason and of course, quality time! Fortunately, my grades weren't as bad as I thought they were. Amen! Sad though, 'cause my undeniably awful Midterm grades resulted to a so-so GPA. Ugh. On the brighter side, at least I was able to do something less unproductive than the usual -- getting a life outdoors! I had the best time with my girls doing our thing and oh, we scored One Day tickets for 25 bucks! Lemme quote that line I'm so fond of; "I love you, I love you so much. But I just don't like you anymore". D'awww. It was as melancholic as our separation. Huuuu. Until next school year, bitches!

Loooovvvveeee!

------------------------

You missed me, guys? I know you do! Lol joke. But before I go, here's my most recent photo just in case you're curious. Hihi. Thank y'all for waiting! I love y'all!

P.S.: I'll blog better next time. Promise! ♥
