Weeks of not blogging, what had happened to me? Errr… Nothing much.. I’ve been busy with school (Moomedia work, Thesis, 3DGRAFX, and all other subjects) Sigh… The term is ending in a few weeks! I can’t wait!

Well, what I can’t believe is that even in our break (VERY short break mind you) we are gonna work on our thesis project.. Well, that can’t be helped considering that we do have a lot of things to catch up on since we need to be able to develop a part of the thesis to be patterned by the others… Sigh… I can’t wait for a REAL vacation.. You know, like after schooling is over? After graduation…? Sigh…

Alex (my niece) is turning 2 this 27th of August! She’s growing too fast! And I am growing old too fast! Lately, I can’t help but be saddened by her reactions with me. I haven’t been home lately due to projects and deadlines and seminars here and there. The last time I went home, she said she was afraid of me… Now isn’t that ironic… She is afraid of the person who took care of her after her mother and her father left her a week after she was given birth. Her mom said that she owed me one after taking care of her for two weeks back then (it was my term break and I never had one, AGAIN, because of that kid!) and until now, I can’t feel like she does. If I know, she had already forgotten all about it. She’s just happy that her daughter is in good hands and is growing just the way she wanted her to cause my parents are taking care and are spending money for her.

After our first year anniversary, we are still going through the smooth lane. I mean that we are still together and I can say that I am happy that I chose him, that I got to know him. Although there are times that I wished I didn’t cause what I am seeing right now is not the same person I knew last year, last summer… I remember telling him about this issue… Then again, I can’t change the person, right?

It had been 4 years in college. 4 LONG agonizing years. I can’t say that I am happy all the time. No one is. Everybody gets to have a challenge every where they go. And I think the biggest challenge I ever had was now, in college. I am independent, I am living alone for 2 years, and 2 years with my cousin. The people that tell me what to do are very far from me. Therefore it had been hard for me to manage my time. Me and my sister had been talking about this the other day. All we remember about 4th year high school is computers, that the moment we get home we go straight to the computer then we stay there till we sleep. It was a miracle that we were even able to finish our assignments cause, seriously, we don’t remember doing them.

By the way, the past weeks, I had also been addicted (a bit) to video editing. To see my videos, they are all uploaded at my YouTube Account. I still have one video not uploaded cause it might take 2 overnights to be able to finish that - considering that my net doesn’t fluctuate or suddenly stops then goes on again. But sad thing is, it does.. So I can’t really upload it right now.. :(

My portfolio had also increased. A few of my works can be viewed at my DA Account and most of which are the exercises that I had done for our 3DGRAFX class… Also, I had been creating a lot of posters lately due to being in the publicity committee of both Moomedia and our Batch Assembly. So, yeah..

Anyways, I have to go.. It’s 3:30 in the morning and I still have a meeting at 9 with my groupmates..

It had been another hectic couple of weeks… No thesis deadlines this time… More on thesis docu and screens… And org stuff… And other school works… Sigh…

And in those weeks lay our anniversary (mine and vinno)… And, all his surprises were busted! His supposed to be first surprise was to have his hair cut… And I caught him even before he left (cause we had class a few minutes later) then he slipped and said that he’ll have his hair cut and that it was supposed to be a surprise..

The next day, our anniversary… We had no classes that day so I intended to oversleep… But, I didn’t… I suddenly woke up upon the noise that someone was opening my door and a clicking sound. So I thought that my sister was here… But I realized that it was very early in the morning for either of my sisters to come over… (it was around 8 - 9 in the morning that time). So I got up and went to the living room and saw the door opened…

I panicked and opened the door and saw him there… Then asked him if the door was really opened when he came and all those stuff… (I was really scared that time!) Then he gave me a bouquet of flowers and said, “Happy Anniversary”. While I on the other hand still continued to ask. Then, again, he said that his plans were busted.. He said that he was supposed to leave the flowers and his letter beside me while I slept and that when I wake up I’d be lying beside the roses and his letter..

Then we exchanged our gifts.. I gave him a pair of sneakers and he gave me a ring… A ring that I will not wear on my hand but instead on my neck (I don’t wear rings.. -.-)

After that, we accompanied my sister to apply for her internet.. Then we went to have his sneakers exchanged cause it was a little small for him (1 size smaller). Then we went to our condo at Makati and watched Meet the Robinsons and a few more TV shows after the movie…

And that was how our anniversary ended..

Enough of that day.. Everything had been so exciting for me since last week… I’ve been 3D modeling!! More advanced than what we take up in class…. I just got a human model to move last night! It was so exciting!!! Now my problem is, how to make it animate from being thin to fat… (the model is for our thesis…)

By the way, next thesis deadline is this coming Tuesday… And tomorrow will be another hectic day… Another overnight day… Sighhh

It’s finally the end of the term. I just had my final final exam a few hours ago and I can’t say that went well… A grade of 1.0 is all I want for that subject, if I can even attain it with the grades that I have…

So it’s the end of the term once again and I am ready to bum my life with summer!!! Although, I have to go through On-The-Job-Training so, no bumming for me… Sucks.

What exactly have I accomplished for this term except for another failure…? Well, we did pass thesis… And I’m really happy that we did.. 1 more year to go!! Or so I hope… Sigh…

It’s finally the start of summer and I hope I can enjoy it… My parents are planning to go swimming again this weekend… And my high school friends are also planning a trip themselves to Batangas (another province here in the Philippines with beaches..) next week after our course cards… I just really REALLY hope that I won’t have to hide a course card just to be with them… That would lead me to being guilty… SHHH!!!

Sigh… Anyways, I’m off to bum out till I start OJT…

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, here I come!!

I tend to feel down most of the time… Knowing that there are people whom I’m close to get hurt. There are sacrifices, I know… But why did it have to be them? Them of all people…? We are already a few in number when we’d graduate given that almost every term there are some who leave the school due to excess number of failures. Then there’s a group of people who I feel close with, get taken by not being able to make it through the defense (the major defense we have this term is what I’m talking about).

I can’t handle it anymore… Most especially this one person which me and Vinno was just talking about earlier. Tori. Tori, even though he wasn’t exactly one of the people I wanted to get to know to before, right now, I just feel that everything had been lain upon his shoulders. Although I congratulate him for winning the Legislative Representative for our batch for the next school year, he had just sacrificed enough just to make everything alright.. But nothing did… :(

Just a term ago, he had a loss… Not talking about it right here cause he might kill me… No one died, that’s the clue. Just something he lost. And now, I don’t even know what to say to him… Somehow I know it’s killing him to actually smile and pretend that everything is alright… As well as for his groupmates (although I haven’t actually seen them since last Thursday).

I. Want. This. To. End.

I think I’ve had enough sacrificing for one term. Everything is just about sacrificing subjects just to make it to the defense, but in the end, losing everything…

Everything just seems to be out of place… I wonder when things will be again…?

We just had our thesis defense this morning. We were scheduled as the first group to defend at 8 in the morning so naturally, we had to wake up as early as we can so that we can prepare ourselves. Someone stayed over at my place that night because we had to wake up early. Actually, I was thankful that that person stayed because I wouldn’t be able to wake up… I asked to be woken up at quarter to 6 for me to be able to prepare even though I just live beside the school – we had to meet an hour and a half before the defense to practice and know the report of the other. Also, my oldest sister gave me a few of her face thingies to put… Since I didn’t know how to use them, I need extra time to prepare… (Yes, I am not that skilled with make-up even though I am a girl… I just don’t like the idea of having something placed in my face and that I’d have to do it everyday… Takes too much time… I like to keep things simple…) That person had a hard time waking me up cause I didn’t want to stand up… :sweatdrop: Well, who would after sleep a bit past 3…?

The presentation started late… Me? I wasn’t nervous, and I don’t know why… But I had a few bad times, so early in the morning… Well, not only today actually… I had one the other day… I thought I lost my school ID… Losing it would mean that I can’t go inside the school without a permit every day until I get a new one… And the new one costs around 500+ Philippine peso which is roughly around $10.00 (expensive I know… Maybe it’s because our ID’s have chips which contain our student informations…) Anyway… I found it under the towel rack where I placed my pants… :frustrated: Then, just before the presentation started and while we were waiting for the other panelists to arrive, I kinda spilled one coffee that we were supposed to give to the panelist… Luckily, no faculty or staff noticed and the panelists weren’t there… So Vinno had to buy another one while we had to clean up the mess in the table… It was fortunate that the coffee that I spilled was only pure coffee… So it didn’t take long to get a new one… :frustrated:

Then again, the presentation went smoothly and we were able to answer the questions given to us, therefore getting the verdict of minor revisions getting a grade between 3.5-4.0!!! :happy:

That sure was a load off our backs.. Now, all we need to concentrate on is passing our minor subjects :frustrated:
