Ayan, better. Hi reader. You're probably here because:
- bored ka talaga sa buhay mo at kanina ka pa nagsscroll sa Facebook/Twitter feed mo at accidentally mo narefresh, kaya't nakita mo ito as a fresh post;
- naghihintay ka ng chismis;
- true friend kita at iniintay mo yung mga ganitong ko;
- naligaw ka lang talaga at naawa ka sakin kaya't binasa mo nalang.
Hi, I turned 23 years old this year. Older but the maturity stopped somewhere at 16. People have been telling me I looked the same, but I beg to differ. Baka talagang sanay lang kayong makitang mataba ako and tumataba lang ako at yung body fats ko nasstretch at sumasabay sa hulma ko.
I know that you know how tragic 2016 have been. Like a rollercoaster, meron siyang super high and super low. Personally, my December alone have been an emotional rollercoaster. I'm sure you had your fair share of failures and successes, but let me congratulate you on getting this far. For not giving up, like me. Yay!
*high five ala barney stinson*
I am now a third year struggling law student. YES, ESTUDYANTE PA RIN PO AKO. SORRY PO! Dapat ay extended na ulit ako ng 1 year sa law school, pero hindi na. Still waiting for my grades from the first semester, sa awa ng Diyos (at maraming dasal from family and friends) - ay nakaraos sa dalawang subject na prereq sa mga kailangang subject for this sem, and I am now a regular third year student for the second semester. It also means na for the first time, regular full load na ako. Kaya't I am praying that I'll be more focused on studying. I honestly believe that my biggest weakness is consistency. Tulad ng flow ng blog na ito, oha!
Breaking news, tutal nakasira naman kami ng upuan, gusto lang kitang iupdate na sobrang bigat ko na. Mga higit isang sakong bigas na ko. My hormones are also as unpredictable as my way of thinking rin. Kaya ayan, I am bringing the extra extra pounds for 2017. What do you expect diba? Hahaha. Bwiset! With my braces naman, I just had two wisdom tooth extraction last summer. Next summer daw ulit, yung 2 naman sa right. It will greatly benefit my braces. Kaya't go lang daw, kung may forever, baka sa braces ko na siya mahanap.
Speaking of forever, which is actually a long time and nakakapagod ata yun at di ko talaga gets kung bakit naghahanap ang mga tao ng forever kung sa traffic at pila nga inip na inip na sila, I've been busy with Asian dramas this year. It started with So Ji Sub's Oh My Venus, then came Song Joong Ki's Descendants of the Sun, Park Bo Gum's Love in the Moonlight, Yang Yang's Love O2O, and now with Lee Dong Wook's Goblin. I am still watching Running Man on my 137th episode already, just a few more and I'll be able to watch it on time before the show ends on February. Let's just say that my desire to learn a foreign language is back, and I've never been more inspired to save money for a future trip elsewhere.
Other than Asian dramas, in between studying, I've been watching Youtube videos from the vlogbrothers. Over a span of 6 months (ata), I've turned into a nerdfighter. Although nasa 2013 videos pa lang ako, I've been trying to watch the latest videos as well. It's really fun to see the video-quality improvement everytime I see a new video (comparing it to the old ones). The Nerdfighter Community - Nerdfighteria, is not your ordinary community as it seeks to decrease world suck. John and Hank Green have been teaching us to be socially aware of our surroundings, despite being extremely shy in public. To do something for our own community and give back.
It was also this year that a dear friend introduced me to the wonderful HamFam - HAMILTON THE MUSICAL. It's really a highlight as the musical continues to inspire lives everywhere. Kahit na sa aming mga nakarinig lang ng soundtrack. The songs are not just mere lyrics and melodies, they tell a story of this guy - ALEXANDER HAMILTON. He is a pain in the arse, but he had done so much that at the end, he deserves all the recognition the world is giving him right now. Iba po yung Lin-Manuel Miranda, he's one of the most adorable person God gave to humanity. *we must protect him at all cost!*
As the song goes, "death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes." We lost Kenneth last January. One smart arse, who deserves a life longer than what he had. Oh cancer, you're such a prick! I feel like right now, he still continues to watch over us, so now, I am praying that we all do the right things to make you worry less. We miss you Kenneth, you'll forever be in our hearts.
I also felt terribly sad for the death of my president - Madame Miriam Defensor-Santiago. Sure, she's far from perfect but she's upright and wise. Definitely a person the Philippine politics does not deserve. "I have nothing against the current administration," is something I wish I can wholeheartedly say. Alam mo yun, yung magpaka- I see the rainbow in everything he does. Kaso hindi talaga e. O Pilipinas, kay hirap mong mahalin.
Woah, break. Woah.
Last year, I made a new year's resolution of reading 23 books plus a book challenge from a friend. Kaso di ko naman nakumpleto, nanuod ako ng nanuod ng mga series ng bakasyon. Hahaha, but I tried. Eto siya o.
Btw, naalala niyo yung Pokemon Go? Ilang araw din tayong na-addict dun aminin niyo. It's like we've been longing for random road trips, which is I am a huge fan of. This year, nakailang balik ba ko sa Tagaytay? Hahaha. Yung nakapag Divisoria, Binondo, Anvaya pa. Tapos may Bora and Cebu din. Wala lang atang Baguio. Next year na lang siguro.
Thankful ako sa mga everyday miracles: yung biglang uulan, good recit, free cut, madaling quiz, maayos na buhok, magandang gising. Sana sa 2017 ulit. Hihihi.
Sa kabuuan, ang 2016 ay parang kuya ko - extreme sa saya, extreme sa lungkot. Pero tulad din ng kuya ko, nakasurvive naman tayong lahat. Hi kuya, bibilan kita ng hello panda pag nakabalik na ko sa land faraway.
Mas exciting ang parating na taon, nandyan yung Sherlock, Wicked, Coldplay, graduation ni Joy Mei Mei, graduation ng blockmates ko sa Arrheneo. Malay ko kung anong mangyayari sa second half ng taon, I bet equally exciting din siya. NASABI KO BANG MANUNUOD AKO NG COLDPLAY SA 2017? MANUNUOD AKO. NG. COLDPLAY. OHMYGOD!! *at magka-cut ako ng class, for the first time. SORRY PO LOLO A*
I love New Years, yung feeling na pwde ka ulit magsimula kahit na madalas ay "sa una lang naman yan." Yung chance para makapagbago. Ang sarap! Hoping for good heatlh for me, family, and friends. Pati yung emotional and mental health para sa ating lahat. Sana'y mas payapa na ang Pilipinas at buong mundo sa 2017.
Even though 2016 got me so helpless, I've been equally satisfied of how things went. For 2017 and the rest of my days as a struggling law student, I am not going to throw away my shot and I shall rise up.
Last post for the year, good bye 2016. At ikaw 2017, sabi nga ng The Mountain Goats, "I AM GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS YEAR, IF IT KILLS ME!"
