My mind was constantly in motion last Friday. Not literally, though, else, you would’ve seen my head shake. For one, we had 2 exams that day. But we just studied for the major one because we’ve already reviewed for the other last week. During our breaks, we were facing our books. Good thing it didn’t look like a Chinese book to me anymore. The topic was pretty self-explanatory, so skimming was a reasonable approach (I was able to read the whole chapter the previous day anyway). During our 4-hour break, however, I wasn’t concentrating on my book anymore because we (IE Council) had another meeting regarding our upcoming Acquaintance Party. Most of the concerns were addressed but there were still a couple of things that need to be ironed out. Good luck! Then we had the exam for our last major subject for the day. It was okay. Hehehe.

After talking with my friends and settling some things, I then changed into casual attire and went to UP Cebu with Jorich. Our friends Bryan (UPian), Jessa, and Tianexx were already there. And the party started! Nyahahaha. We were actually there for the UP Cookout ’09 with the theme MOVE UP (Friday night until Saturday early morning). Kantahan , Sayawan , Bandahan , Rampahan . Need I say more?

My Saturday wouldn’t have been that superb if it wasn’t for my extraordinary experience in Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort with the Cebu Bloggers Society! At first, I thought I wouldn’t be able to join this activity since it was originally scheduled on July 25 and it was my mom’s birthday, which I couldn’t miss. I also had an important meeting that day so I had no hope. But I was filled with excitement when the tour was postponed! The Lord really loves me! Weeeee!

I know everybody was up early because we weren’t late for our rendezvous — 6am at SM City Cebu. Oh hail the exhilaration! As soon as everyone and everything was in place, off we went on the 3 vans. We knew it was going to be a long journey. Some time later, we stopped over at Jollibee, Carcar to have some breakfast, care of Kuya Ruben (he prefers to be called “kuya” than “sir”). You could always expect a lot of chitchats when the CBS people are together! After the meal, we continued on our journey. I wasn’t totally aware of what was happening in our van afterwards since I already fell asleep (but I was still conscious of my surroundings that time). All I knew was that my friends (Aimee, Jessa, Shalee, AJ, and Mark) continued their funny talks. I woke up when I realized my head was banging on the window of the van already! Hahaha. I enjoyed the view of the places away from the city. Finally, after about 3 hours, we reached our destination. We proceeded to the island on a pump boat. It was an adventurous ride since the waves were alive! We had a wet look when we reached the island after 15 minutes. We were warmly welcomed by the staff of Sumilon Bluewater, especially the resident manager, Mr. Greg Perral. He oriented us with some facts about Sumilon while we had our snack of fries and sandwiches at the pavilion/restaurant.

As usual, I’ve been so busy with my life in school (academics and council stuff). But good thing there has already been less of those dramas that add to my freaking problems. Or is it because I refuse to let too much drama in? Mahehehe. Whatever. Those dramas add color to my life anyway. Hahahahaha!

Q&A portion for this week:

Day 13 (072709): What is your idea of a perfect Christmas?

Spending it with my friends would be a great idea. I would be able to show my jolly self. Spending it with my family wouldn’t be bad either. After all, what makes Christmas my favorite day of the year are my childhood memories with my family and some other friends.

Day 14 (072809): If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I think it would be my being prideful. True, keeping pride is still useful because it means you’re fueled by principle and that you have your own stand. But in my case, my pride gets too high sometimes to the point that I irritate even my own self.

Day 15 (072909): What irritates you the most?

It’s when I’m left hanging that irks me much. I’m a curious and inquisitive being, and I like being fed with information about a certain topic. That’s why I get kind of frustrated when it’s only the tip of the iceberg that I know. At times, it may be better for me to know nothing about it than just a portion of it. As what I’ve read somewhere, “Don’t show a child an ice cream if you’re not even gonna give it.”
