Dreams can become hopes

I’m almost done with college, all I’m waiting for right now is our final presentation (for the award we were nominated for) and that presentation will be on Monday from 10 – 12 noon. And finally, I am moving out of my dorm that same day. After the presentation, I will be evacuating from the place. FINALLY.. And right now, I am bored with my one week vacation, what more with my entire summer…?

I found these great stuff from Body Shop last week when me and Vinno were at the mall. He didn’t want to give me my wallet whenever I find something good so I decided to go to SM last Thursday and visit our branch of Body Shop here.

Above are sakura (cherry blossom) scented body wash and perfume. They smell soooo nice~ I’m even planning on buying the body butter (the person from the shop said that it’s lotion with moisturizer) and the incense.. I’m planning on having my room here smelling like sakura (to go with the pink color) I’m so addicted to the smell. Its on promo so I was able to buy both the body wash and the perfume for only around 1540php (about $32 I guess) I got 350php ($7 I guess) discount because of the promo and my Love Your Body Shop membership card.

Also, in addition to my Body Shop errand when I went to SM, my dad surprised me with a bluetooth Logitech Laser Mouse!! I’ve been looking for one since I got tired of my Apple Mighty Mouse (which came with my dad’s iMac. I got it cause he bought a wireless mighty mouse) and I’ve also been telling him about it since when I’m looking for one he’s always with me (not that I planned it ) And I told him that I found one that I liked but it was too expensive. Then when he met me at National Bookstore, he was holding a plastic, but I didn’t notice what it was. Then when we were on our way to the car, he gave me the plastic and when I looked inside it was the mouse!!!! I SO love my mouse. Here’s an image:

I already tried using it at my dad’s laptop but had to uninstall it after a while because I’m near to giving my dad’s laptop back in replace of getting mine back. When I was looking at the price with the box about a feet above me, I only saw the first of the 4 digit number and it was the number 3. And with that, I knew that it was expensive. And with the box nearer to me right now, I saw the price to be at 3850php (about $80.20 if my conversion is correct). So I am REALLY happy that my dad bought it for me.. It even came with a pouch cause in the box it said “business-class mobility”, so I’m guessing this mouse is for those business people who LOVE to travel. Hehe. But yeah, the mouse is definitely for notebooks.

And for other things, I just found my bed very much interesting right now. I have started bringing all my stuffed toys home and here’s an image of my bed as of the moment:

And I still have one BIG teddy bear left at my dorm. So, as of right now, that’s my bed. Although, I don’t sleep with all those stuffed toys. I put them all at my mini sofa near the window.

Anyways, I have news for everyone… I talked to my mom about working in the US and how to get a work permit there… Lucky for me, she agreed on what I planned to do. She was even helping me find my way to the US easily (like she knows a family friend whose daughter’s fiancee works in the US as a computer specialist and is going to as if the guy would know a work for me at NY).

[edit] But, my mom talked to my dad and sadly, he doesn’t want me to leave just yet…. He said I should work here for a few years and wait till recession is over… [/edit]

I’m happy, yeah. But as I thought about it a while ago while we were on our way to buy yogurt, I suddenly started missing Vinno. Not only because of the US work and stuff. But because our last day to be together (physically) would be this coming Monday, during the presentation. After that, we won’t be seeing each other for the entire summer (unless I go to Manila) until I go back on June for graduation practice… And he’s not even graduating with me…  I don’t even know what will happen now… I just hope that nothing will change… Even if I do leave…

I miss my childhood friends… I don’t know why suddenly at the last minute, that’s when I miss them. My best friend during my childhood years died a year ago… She had been sick ever since she was born and she had been thankful of her extra years. And now, she’s gone and I wasn’t even able to talk to her for her last few months… In addition to that, my other best friend had also left for the US, just today. And I wasn’t also able to see her for the last time. The time that we were supposed to see each other, our adviser scheduled a meeting the next day so I couldn’t go home, only to find out that nothing much was talked about. I just wished I went home that day and got together with them… I seriously miss them…

A lot will happen this year. A lot of changes. One thing is that my high school best friend is coming home from the US to visit. My cousins will come as well (the same month as my best friend). And, I am on the edge of deciding where to go… The US or to Japan… I’m still not sure where to go… Suggestions anyone? I need your opinion before I start applying for jobs in the US next week….
