I went home to the province today because I miss the atmosphere here… The quiet and joyful atmosphere unlike what I experience in our condo in Manila. Also another reason for that is because my oldest sister was in a rage because she couldn’t access the router there - she is way too short tempered to even wait for anything.

So anyways, the moment I walked into the house, I was greeted by my niece who was carrying my dad’s shoes thinking it was his slippers. When she saw me, she let go of the shoe and went straight to me to have me carry her (she’s currently a year and 8 months, nearing nine this 27th)… I missed that.. The way that she’s too cute and adorable and is always there to greet you once you open the door…

It’s a Saturday night, nearing 12 midnight and tomorrow, I will be returning to the city. Why? Aside from the fact that I still have my internship, classes start this Monday… So, I go to school Monday and Wednesday. Then from 8AM till around 3:30PM during Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be at the office… Then whole day during Fridays… Such a tight schedule and it’s only the first week of classes…

Basically, I only have an overnight here at the province before I return back to reality… Can’t I stay here a little longer…? :(

Expect a little less blogging starting Monday… Since it will be my last week next week for work, I heard that they will be giving me boxes of documents to scan.. @.@ So I guess I have to go back to the office after my class on Tuesdays and Thursdays just to finish all that is needed to be done I don’t leave anything unfinished… Unless it is a self-proclaimed project… I might even extend the 200-hour max if I do that.. Not that it would increase my grade…

Everybody’s been busy with a lot of stuff and I’m stuck somewhere in my world doing nothing… I should be at an office, doing OJT stuff! Sadly, I still don’t have a company…

Yes, it’s almost nearing the end of our summer break and I still don’t have an OJT to do… Some of my friends who still don’t have an OJT are planning on skipping it for this summer and taking it next summer instead… Before graduation… Sigh… I don’t know what to do anymore…

I have an interview this wednesday… Hoping that it’ll be successful… If it did, I’d have to work for 10 about 10 weeks. And that would mean that I’m still working while studying.. Sigh.. Now I’m even thinking that I’d skip it as well…

I haven’t been doing anything the past days… Just watching movies or maybe going out with Vinno or going back to school because of meetings with the organization I’m in… Otherwise, it’s nothing.. Oh, by the way, we got the results of the officership applications last term… And I was appointed Vice President in Creative Media Development.. Which means I am the “leader” of the committee. The committee handles the publicity of any activity the organization will have, as well as requests any org or office inside the school may have for us to do. And, we handle the exhibits the org might have throughout the school year… Sigh…

We just finished talking last night about what activities we can have the entire year. Turns out, we’d only really have a few since we do handle publicity… The things we’d have to do are almost done.. What’s left for us to do now is the booth for the freshmen welcoming this May 7! It’s so soon! And we only knew about this last Saturday… Even the President knew that she was the President just recently… So, everything is so rushed!

By the way, I had added a new page in the site…! It contains all the stuff I had been doing… Well, currently I can’t find all the stuff… But most of them, I think, are there already… Check ‘em out.. :)

I stumbled upon my Multiply site and opened a few pages… Pages of my elementary friends.. Yes… We still have contact with each other… Somehow, deep inside me, I really really miss them. I miss hanging out with them.

I don’t know why… I’ve been so EMO the past days… I miss a lot of things… Like my high school friends, the real attitude of my boyfriend, the college friends that I know (somehow they had changed…) I don’t know… Maybe because I haven’t been in the real world myself. I keep telling people that things are done differently in the real world that we should all be prepared… But somehow, I think I’m not ready yet, even though I would want to go out already.. You know, like a debut that I’m already a graduate and is already facing the real world… I just have this feeling that, if now I miss them, what more if I’m already working, or outside the country, or something similar… Will I be able to handle it..? Maybe with the right set of people around me I might. Who knows…

As the title of the entry mentions… Yes, it is the end of my vacation, Christmas Vacation to be exact. I feel like I have wasted my vacation on playing games, or sleeping, or maybe eating… Well, not that I am quite complaining about it cause that is what I usually complain during school days that I don’t have the time to sleep or play games… Sigh…

Let’s see… What games have I started to play… First was THE SIMS 2 UNIVERSITY because of the installer that my sister gave me for Christmas, it kinda pushed me to want to play it all day long until 4-5 in the morning… :sweat: Then there’s Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney from my sister’s DS (the same sister that gave me the SIMS 2 installer) which got me addicted since the day we went out of town for a vacation… And again, I’ve been playing it like crazy, wanting to solve all cases as I can as I enjoy that stuff… Next is Dynasty Warriors 4… Well… The story behind this is that me and Vinno were both bored so we headed over to our place in the business district (where my sisters stay). Then I pulled out all my sister’s PS2 Games (again, the same sister.. :sweatdrop: ) and we picked something to play since we were both broke… And while his is here visiting me or staying for a while after dropping me off, instead of leaving the place and spend more and more of our money, we just stay put and play… Get frustrated because of the bosses that we couldn’t defeat… Taking up strategies just to finish off all guards/bosses per place… Sigh… It’s fun while it lasts I guess…

And just so happens that I had these stuff that I wanted to do during the vacation, and not one was even finished.. :cry:

MY “TO-DO LIST” DURING MY CHRISTMAS BREAK:

• Re-do my mom’s database system cause there are a lot of errors and useless stuff in what she has right now…
• Do my Uncle’s online portfolio for his shop…
• Do the web site that we were asked to do since last summer…

As you can see, they all lean on my specialization… And all those projects were thought of my yours truly since last summer… And none, until now, are done… Sigh.. Everything is WAY over due.. :cry:

During the vacation as well when I learned that there is an OVA to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles thanks to Belle.. :smile: She e-mailed me asking me about it when I wasn’t up-to-date with everything because of school. Then during the vacation I finally got enough space (thanks to my new hard drive) so I downloaded it and finally watched it. IT WAS SO COOL! Syaoran is cooler than ever! :love:

Sigh… School starts in 2 days… Actually, 1 day cause it’s already 12:11 in the morning right now as I type this… School starts tomorrow! :cry: I’m still not ready to face a new term… It’s like I’m still not over the vacation yet… I still want to have a vacation! :cry:

I know, I know… I’m ranting again… Rants will start again in this blog since school will start again… I just don’t know how to express my feelings personally to everyone. That has been my problem ever since… Sigh… Projects here, assignments there… Misunderstanding here, yelling there… I wouldn’t know where to start… Everything is like a roller coaster to me… Maybe that’s the reason why I hate roller coasters… Cause then I wouldn’t know what to do once the ride falls down a loop, or once it falls in a “hill”… Would I scream like a maniac and cry, or will I enjoy and take everything as a challenge… I don’t know… Sigh…

My website, Tomoeda, haven’t been touched since I don’t know when… :annoyed:Even though I would try to look for something to change there, nothing comes to me. Not that the site is perfect and everything cause I know for a fact that it is FAR, as in REALLY FAR, from being the most informative site… I just don’t know where to start editing and revising stuff… :huh:

Sigh… I guess this will be the last entry because I start the term again… Last entry that doesn’t have rants in it for the time being… Sigh… Sorry for ranting so much… :sad:

I wasn’t able to post an entry about greeting you guys for the New Year so here it is…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I was in a vacation to the coldest part of our country till the morning of the 31st and just got home the afternoon of the 31st as well.. So I wasn’t able to blog… Another reason is because we don’t have internet access there - except for Starbucks but it’s a bit far from where we stayed and we usually only stay there for a few minutes after getting our drinks then we leave…

The vacation was short… And everyone really wanted to stay for another couple of days… But as we left late, we leave early.. Meaning we can’t extend anymore because it’s already the eve that day we left… Also, we can’t extend anymore because with the duplex where we were staying, another set of tourists will be renting it… So yeah…

What exactly did I do during that short vacation out of town…? Well… Lets see… I slept, I ate, I played Phoenix Wright on my sister’s Nintendo DS (which actually makes me want to buy one because of that.. :laugh: ), I did a few activity papers for next term, I played Mini Golf, and then I ate, and slept, and ate, and slept… :laugh: That’s it.. :rofl:

2008, another year… My last school year in college will begin in the year… And then, I will become another one of those “unemployed” people… Not that I don’t want to work… Somehow I’d like to work already than be stuck in school… But thinking about it makes me wonder if I would ever miss school once I am out of it… Sigh… Then again, I do have a goal of attaining a Masters Degree… Something related to what I have started. Everything that I took up in college will be like my stepping stone to my Masters.. I’ve considered looking for a university outside the country that had the courses under Video Editing, or, more Multimedia… I’m still not sure…

2007 had been a rough year for me… A lot of challenges occurred… A lot of tears fell… I don’t know about 2008… But one thing is for sure, tears already fell from my eyes on the very 1st of January… And on the eve of the 1st, I wasn’t feeling good… Sigh.. I just hope that that is not a sign to anything bad this year.. I need to be healthy enough for our thesis cause I am sure that’s a total of 3 terms no sleep… :cry:

I was searching the net just for fun as I was a bit bored today - nothing to do, my niece is already asleep, my sister is using the computer upstairs… I Googled my name. As in my real nickname… And surprisingly, A LOT of people have the same spelling as my name…! Well, a lot of people have the same name as I do - as in the pronunciation… But I never thought that I had a lot of people with the same spelling… I just thought that my sister had the most unique way of creating names with unique spellings… :sweatdrop: But anyway, not that I’m pissed about it or something… Why would I? I just found it a bit surprising… Ahehehe…

Anyway… I hope that what ever is in store for each and everyone of us for this year, I just hope that we all learned something from our mistakes the past year… And hope that we won’t repeat them again.. :smile:

Thank you everyone for a great 2007, and have fun on another great year of 2008! :grin:

Tomorrow, I am headed back to the city to continue with my studies… Classes start next week, Monday… And you can clearly say that I haven’t yet got the vacation that I wanted… Sigh… Well… What ever can I do… Sigh…
