Remnants of summer
one thing I enjoyed about our school is that our classes ended on the third week of march while the other schools are still busy with their final exams so on and so forth. Right after our classes ended, I spent three days or so buying stuffs I need before I went home to Marinduque. You can't help to get excited after being away with your beloved hometown, back to your laidback lifestyle and away from the city for just a couple of weeks since I would go back for my summer classes (CWTS-2. Yes. NSTP. i remember my high school friend saying 'putangina. sina-summer yon?')
So, there. I spent the precious 2 week in the province. Well, mostly a week inside our house until some of my friends (who also went home for the holy week) arrived. I made the most of it because i have to go back to manila before the 6th of April because it's our enrollment for summer classes but the sessions wont even start after that. I waited for 6 agonizing days before our classes starts and went to San Miguel, Bulacan for our exposure trip. We spent 2 days and a night in that place. Sure, it was fun but it not so when you have to do your final paper in order to pass the subject. (It was a group work and there were only 5 of us left from our section, so there. It was hard) . My parents told me that I should stay here in Manila until I finished my paper. So technically, i wasn't allowed to go back home yet. But things in the city weren't working out that great. I can't even write a single word for the paper and I got to stressed easily. My allowance vanishes faster than water evaporates these days and that 'asshole' blew his chance of winning me back, AGAIN! I don't know what got into me that time. I like him, I really do. But I'm not so sure anymore if he deserved/desereves my attention. If there's a problem between us, i think I would leave it there, unsolved. He's the kind of guy that has no effort in his body. I mean he couldn't even exert an effort and see for a day. I'm not stupid to get into a relationship without seeing that person i'm involve with. Besides, even though I've known him since high school doesn't mean I'm going to accept the fact that he'll go a-woll on me. I was like 'fuck you! I still exist okay. Atleast have the decency to talk things out'. That is when I decided to end things permanently with him (not that he's not my boyfriend or anything), but he doesn't know that ofcourse since he's not answering any of my phone calls for two days. Did i cry? ofcourse I did. I cried because I wasted my time with an asshole like him. He's a loser and didn't deserve me. I deserve so much better. Someone better! I talked to my bestfriends on the phone until midnight and asked me if I was certain. Yes, this time, I'm sure of it.
I stood up, with my head held high. Determined not to look back.
With my paper still unfinished, I decided to go back home to Marinduque since Anna would go to and it was my uncle's silver wedding anniversary and most of my relatives are going to be there. I thought that going home for a while would help me cool off my head. There's too much stress in the city and I couldn't take it anymore. Going home did a lot of help. My mind became preoccupied with other things like spending more time with my family and friends. Right after the anniversary, we went to the beach and burned some skin. I really didn't mind as long as I was having fun. And I did have fun. We played our infamous family game called 'pokino' (it's like bingo and poker combined), and I was dealer of the game since I'm not so lucky with that game (I always end up loosing a lot of money with that game). I was determined to move on. I spent countless hours on the phone and TV. I eat most of the time and sleep most of the time, so technically I gained weight and I feel so fat right now. Also, I've been traveling back and forth to Manila because of school stuff and it pisses me off how tiring it is to travel. It drained my energy that when I got back to marinduque I would look like a zombie. You see, I always travel via door-to-door. A van would pick me up here in manila and drop me off at my house in Marinduque. But before that, I would sit for endless hours and bore myself to sleep. The driver would normally pick me up at around 4 - 5:00 pm. (he would always pick me up first because I live in QC) We would go aroung Manila picking up other passengers and have to be at Lucena before 12 am. From Lucena, we would ride a ferry/ship for 3 or 4 hours. I would arrive at our house at around 4:00 am or 4:30 am. Is that tiring or what? It's a shame that I'm afraid to commute by myself via jacliner bus. But I feel much safer in the van than in the bus. I went back to Manila again for my enrollment. It was last april 20 and I went home on the 21st(evening). But before I went home, I spent two days finding for gifts for risha's 18th birthday party. It was actually a luau/beach party. And then I went home on the 21st, I arrived saturday morning and coordinated with Cy and Mark for our surprise to the debutan. Mark's plan was to have a tarpauline printed and Cy's plan was an AVP. We went for the AVP and took the hassle of getting the pictures and interviewing some relatives and friends of Risha and took the risk of not getting caught. The party was on the 25th but it seems that we consumed two days planning and going out but didn't finish anything. We just ended up hanging out. HAHA. So practically crammed the day before and still went to a fiesta at our friend's house and stayed there up to 6 in the evening. We had some problems and started planning out. Problem 1: Cy's laptop was still at the shop and not yet fixed. Problem 2: Risha's baby pictures are not yet scanned. Problem3: Mark wouldn't be able to do it too since the videos and pictures are with me. So I ended up doing the AVP myself and panicking because I was under time pressure. It was already 1 am and I haven't published the movie and decided to finish and burn it in the morning. I met up with Mark at Mamita's for some finishing touches and burned the movie. I went home to have lunch and pack my things for the party since we're going to be there all night. Mark picked me up and dropped me off at Cy's for some prepping up. He was going to pick us (Cy, Marian, and Janen) at Cy's house at 5 pm. While waiting for Marian and Janen, there were some piss off moments between Cy and Macky. Cy was really mad, I haven't seen her mad like that in years. She was yelling on the phone with macky and it made me worried sick that she'll get so pissed and wont go at the party. At cy's house I tested the CD at the DVD player but it didn't work. I panicked, and called Mark. He told me to burn in again but this time using Nero. It took me an hour to figure it out and finally! it worked on the DVD player. I fixed and get myself dressed in time. Mark and Jeric picked us up and also picked Ellaine along the way (so you can picture us squished inside the car, HAHA). The party was awesome. Katrin made it to the party but Anna didn't. :(( It was one heck of a party. Jayvee got drunk but he claimed that he just got dizzy. Dan was also on the edge of his seat and Ellaine, Maan and Janen got tipsy. I didn't get drunk because I didn't even finish the two bottles of beer. So I ended up babysitting these drunk people. We slept around 3 in the morning and woke up 6am and had breakfast and went home. Mark dropped us off at our house. Katrin stayed, slept and had lunch at our house. after a few hours Anna went at my place too and soon came Jorge. We ordered pizza and went to Mamita's because Katrin want some Halo-halo :))
So there, I practically spend my remaining weeks in Marinduque like that. Going out, eat, having fun.
Did I miss something?
Oh yeah.
I told you a while ago that I was moving on right? Well, I tried giving it a shot with Mark. (okay. you go like 'WHAT??? WHY HIM?'. well, that's life. you live, you love, you fall, you get hurt and you get back on your feet again. Besides, why not him? He likes me, he's responsible, well-mannered, kind, we've been friends for years and my parents knows him well. Hey, I deserve to be happy right? Well, Im happy! Done. It's not like he's my boyfriend already. We're just getting there and plans to ask my parents the 'right way' so that everything would be legal (by legal I mean my parents know that I'm going out with him. Not in a legal marriage way)
School's going to start in a few days in I made the most of it in Batangas. We left Marinduque tuesday morning and arrived in batangas at 2 pm. We rested for a while and had a scrumptious dinner. My Tita Ester and Tito Abs were there too together with Veth and Baby Jester Nazh. :D They brought the delicious lobster all the way from Guinyangan, Quezon. On Wednesday, they woke us up at the crack of dawn saying were going to Laiya, San Juan, Batangas. But that was like an hour and half ride away from our place. But who cares! We're going to the beach and I'm going to get my skin burned! Yay!
The place was amazing. Crystal clear waters, white/flesh sand, cool posh resort, eat all you can buffet and cloudy skies :)) I had a great time with family. So that'll be my last hoorah for this summer.
But the thing is..
I don't wanna go to school yet! My parents went back to marinduque this afternoon and I feel fucking homesick :
Whatever happens, Im going to have a fresh start with everything. This year will be good, I can tell.
Bye. Till I blog again
