History is such a prick

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Geeeeeeeeeeeek!!!"

Hi - psych 101 orientation. and then some XD
Lo - binagyo sa Casaa at Phan ><

I was at the Ateneo a few weeks ago to pickup another copy nung A2k6 dvd from Gab(by). Get and alis lang dapat... kaya lang kakatamad pa bumalik, so tambay muna with him. Tambay meaning wait for a class to end for him to get his beloved admu planner inside the room XD. So pagkakuha niya, lunch date naman kami (may isa kasi dyan whom I will not name pero will malamang comment on this XD na "nasa lib daw" at ndi makakasama... joke XD) So, we Wok Dis Way ng mga 1230 na. Yuuuum sisig... oh wait, may class pa nga pala ako ng 1. oh well XD late ng 50 mins (ndi na lang ko nag-cut, noh? XD) buti na lang kebs lang kay prof Vryan XDDD

I was real amused with Gab(by) "Don't you dare drag me to the HS. Baaad memories... It's not Gab anymore. It's Gabby. The high school Gab's dead, and the new college Gabby's here." (no, not really. but sumthing to that effect XD) What's in a name? Does a simple name change also include a drastic life(stlye) change? And, can you really kill your past?

Hindi ba sad yun? You kill your past, you purge every memory, you forget everything. All you have is a new slate and an empty self. I mean, isn't your past integral to who you are? Your past made you who you are, regardless of how good or bad it was, or how good or bad you are right now. The challenge here is how to move on, how to settle our past peacefully and not make it a burden.

I also have a lot of bad... stuff in the past, and a lot of stuff that I haven't resolved. But they don't stop me from living. They push me to live a little more.

Chapter 2 - Honeymoon's Over

"Cherish your brief signing moment!"

Hi - Gaboooooooooooooooo!!!
Lo - Bad stomach. Baaaad stomach ><


In continuing with the RPG theme (siryoso ako dun! wala kasi akong natapos na RPG yung summer eh XD), may time dun na just after the starting-and-getting-to-get-the-hang part. Yung after nung napakadaling battles at medyo easy boss. Yung may new party member ka na at aalis kayo dun sa starting town para a) maglibot more at b) ituloy na yung story. Eto yung part na... medyo asar kasi a) ndi na siya ganun kadali, b) malay mo kung bigla kang may makalaban na mini-boss pala at upakan ka, c) ndi mo pa gets yung story at d) well, wala pang big thing na nangyayari. Eto rin yung part na kinda test if gusto mo talaga ituloy yung game, kasi nakatikim ka na pero after nung tikim trabaho na kagad. Yung time of disillusionment and interest.

3 weeks into college... kinda adapted na. May "party members" na (o ako yung nasama sa party, I forget), getting the hang of the "life". Ngayon, tapos na yung intro. Start na ng trabaho, tapos na yung easy part. On my own na to expand, to continue the story. Now's not the time to regret picking up the game, pero to start owning the game. Pero sa start, hindi ka naman kagad malakas diba? So, now's the time para magpalakas, to level-up na kagad para chicken na yung mga next part. Power Leveling aka buckle down to work. Haaay... I didn't want to leave the intro part just yet, pero kelangan eh. Well, nothing better to do than move on, right?

oh yeah XD

Chapter 1 - The Journey Begins

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Life is like an RPG. or is it the other way around? XD"

Hi - tambay with peeps XD
Lo - no students' discount till aug kasi wala pang ID :(


nung naglalakad kami ni JB, napaisip ako - itsh so like an rpg. Yun bang nasa new area kayo and exploring kung nasan yung places at unti-unting pinupuno yung map mo haha.
yun lang, segway XD

I love RPGs, pero ndi sa start. Kasi - mag-isa ka pa lang, bano ka pa, at andaming napakahirap na parts. Plus malay mo ba yung story sa start. Kasi nga... start pa lang siya. May tutorial kuno, may scripted na battles, may madaling boss, pero still - mahirap siya (unless may gameshark ka lol!) kasi... start pa lang eh. You get the feel, you start to adapt, you just... begin. Begin your new journey, and beginning is oh so hard. Yes, napakadali na sa end, kapag lvl70 upwards ka, umuupak ng random battles, kinakarne yung mga bosses, sobra gets na yung story. But, ndi mo sya totally maeenjoy if ndi mo siya sinimulan. Kasi, if from the start ka nagsimula (no, ndi siya redundant. malay ko ba san ka magsisimula XD), mapapanood mo yung growth ni main char, pano naging ganun yung story, feel mo talaga yung game. Yes, mahirap yung start, pero dahil sa hirap na yun, mas enjoy yung end, mas enjoy yung game.

And so, parang ganun na rin ako, sa buhay kong rpg kuno. Yes, maraming challenges sa start, maraming tests. And yes, masakit. Masakit to glimpse the Orsem, to see the Admu peeps, all fun and at home, while kami, sa start pa lang, bahala na kami to fend for ourselves. You can't imagine the inggit and emo-ness namin ni convo, kapag nakikita namin... kayo, magkakasama, masasaya, and kami medyo on our own and in a whole different world. haaay... Pero yun, like in most rpgs, mahirap sa simula. Mahirap to adapt, to level-up, to keep up, to really accept na ganyan talaga. This is our path, and that's your path. It's up to us to finish this game, this path. To win, to get to lvl70+, to totally gets the story, to kill that friggin boss. It ain't pretty at the start, but it's dam nice to reach the end. And I hope I won't drop my controller and change games just because ndi ko kaya. Eto na, fight na. Mukha namang fun eh XD

And so, I begin my journey. It ain't easy, but it'll be worth it. I know it will

Prologue

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now!"

Hi - being elibs sa Farmer's Market XD
Lo - my weird stomach the whole day x.x

There are only 10 days left before classes. Only 10 days left to prepare myself for another never-ending battle. Only 10 days left before the start of a new book in the "Mr Losantas" series.
10 days

So I, MigsA2k6, solemnly swear that in college, I will do my best to do the following:
1. Follow my own advice - a lot of people tell me their problems, and I usually give some advice. yet for some reason, I don't live out these things I tell them kahit na applicable din siya sa buhay ko. I'll do my best to help not just others, but myself as well.
2. Push myself - you might not know or notice it, but I honestly just work at 90% efficiency. I can push myself to mga 110%, pero rarely lang yun. I'll do my best to do my best.
3. Be confident - most of the time I hold myself back kasi I think about mga what if: what if I fail, what if others won't like it. I'll do my best to just do it.
4. Maximize my time - I'm a slacker. I'm notorious for wasting my time and working only at the last moment. I'll do my best to do what I can do all the time.
5. Take care of my body - yes I'm athletic in my own right, but I also quickly can get sick. And when I get sick, I'm oh so unproductive. I'll do my best to get my sleep and take my vitamins.

There, my current list of goals for college. It's short as of now, pero I'll probly add to it as time goes by.
I'll do my best to do all these things, para sa yo Kuya Jess
I hope I don't fail you
