To everyone whom I promised to link, please forgive me for the delay. Our computer is down because of Trojan and other kinds of viruses. Blame me.Last Sunday, I was invited to join the burial service of my boyfriend's aunt. I never got the chance to acquaint with her but I obliged.
Clearly, I wasn't really affected with the untimely death of their aunt. I was sad, of course, and sorry for their loss, I mean, we weren't really close and I don't really know her so I wasn't that emotional at the cemetery.
But seeing her children, husband, and other relatives cry hysterically as she was about to be buried, I felt tears pricking behind my eyes and I had this really sad feeling. I know in my heart that she was a lovely person since many were very miserable for her loss.
My boyfriend's aunt wasn't that old. She was only in her early 60's and that made me jump to reality that if it's our time to go, no matter how hard we fight for our life, we will eventually leave.
Death chooses no age. We'll never really know if the person you are with today will be gone tomorrow (knock on wood). Treasure everyone you love. Never make them feel neglected and constantly tell them how much you love and appreciate them. Time is gold.

For the last couple of days, I was busy thinking about meeting deadlines, reviewing for midterms, and midterms week. It kept me so preoccupied that I felt so exhausted for that particular week. But as I took some time off and had a break, a question popped out of my head:"Have I already found the right one?"
My boyfriend and I were getting into several rows these past few days and, wrong as it may seem, I was getting skeptical about him. About us. I was so scared of what has been happening in our relationship that I had second thoughts of what we have.
My boyfriend is an amazing person. He may be child-like and a bit immature but he never fails to make me happy. He was my constant companion in everything that I have been through for the past 9 months. He never left me no matter how tough or petty the situation that I am in. He was the only person to really understand me, he knows how to handle and take care of me. He treasured me like no other person did. Every moment that I'm with him, I just feel overly blessed! I honestly do not know what I did to deserve such blessing but then I thank God for giving me a gift as wonderful as him.
As much as I'm embarrassed to admit it, I've prolly met all types of guys in my 17 years of existence. Not all were bad, though. It just so happened that those guys did not live to spend their lives with me. They were only passersby who left remarkable footprints in my life. Most of them has hurt me incredibly but without those bruises and wounds, I wouldn't have learned. I wouldn't have been the person that I am now; stronger and wiser. If they didn't hurt me, I've prolly wouldn't have met Roummel. I recall my ex-boyfriend telling me this: "Kung hindi kita sinaktan, eh di hindi ka masaya ngayon." It was only meant as a joke, but what do you know, it made sense, right? :)
I am young and there are still lots of experiences in store for me. I have yet to meet more people in different walks of life. I may get hurt and experience pain like I've never felt it before. I may laugh like I've never laughed before. I still have to go through my ups and downs but having Roummel by my side makes me brave enough to face the faceless days. I guess for now, I wouldn't know if he really is "Mr.Right"...but I definitely intend to make him the right one.♥

INTRODUCTION TO MASS COMMUNICATION:-5 units
-inexplicable
-boring
-nosebleed
-semiterror professor
-1st long quiz: 39/50
-2nd long quiz: 45/50
45/50. Yes, 5 mistakes may be a little too many but if you are taking up Introduction to Mass Communication and come to class unprepared (knowing that you have a long quiz), those 5 mistakes may seem unnoticeable and all of a sudden, you feel so bright and smart. Plus, I am second to the highest (the highest score is 46).
Too much bragging, I know. So stop.
Well, there are more tests to come. Today is my midterm examination in Rhetoric and this time, I am prepared. Sana lang hindi ako mabokya. I have this annoyingly weird habit na when I review for an exam, I tend to forget everything. Yun nga lang, nakakahiya naman kasi pumasok ng walang alam.
Above all, there's only one thing that I am hoping and praying for: PASS EVERYTHING AND GRADUATE. :)
