Firsts...

Today marked a lot of firsts in my life I guess...

First time that we had a free cut in philosophy. Sir Strebel didn't arrive within the 15 minute timeframe usually given as allowance for teachers before declaring that the class is already a free cut. Kinda cool since this was the first time in nearly 1 and a half semester that Sir just didn't show up.

Today was also the first time I participated in an IAC semifinal basketball game. We ended up losing by 12 (44-32) and I played the last 30 seconds of the 3rd quarter. Not that I'm complaining but well there went my dreams of being the Sasha Vujacic against Dallas for the day.

Firsts... While I was in the Gym, (well actually papunta sa beverage bar) may nasilayan akong isang familiar face... A face that I haven't seen since the day we broke up... kinda funny to meet her here though hehe in ateneo of all places, i do remember our time together when she avoided going here hehe changes i guess.

2007

Ayun natapos ang 2006...

Masasabi ko na isa na ang taong nagdaan sa pinaka aktibo (?) o action filled (?) na taon sa buhay ko. Maraming mga pangyayari ang naganap noong nagdaang taon, mga pangyayaring nagpasaya, nagpalungkot, nagpabagabag, nagpaexcite at nagpagulo sa akin. Sa loob ng nakalipas na labindalawang buwan, mayroon akong mga nakilala, nalaman, nawala, natagpuan.

Siguro ang makakapag summarize lang ng lumipas na taon ay ang linyang madalas naming ginagamit ng mga kaibigan ko kapag nagbibiruan kami. Madalas naming masambit ang mga salitang

"Para kang sinampal sa mukha ng katotohanan"

Ang nagdaang taon ay isang Right-Left Combination ng katotohanan sa mukha ni Mico Ruiz.

Ang nagdaang taon ay nagpamulat sa akin sa mga bagay bagay tulad ng

Some of them are:
* The fine line between being understanding and being stupid.
* How every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.
* How you can't force people to like you or your work. (HSBC)
* How interest is the key to studying. (CS 30)
* That faith must be a personal conviction and not blind belief imposed by my parents (Sir Dacillio, Fr. Rex, Luigi)
* Sometimes hanging back and just being a good soldier works (Gerald and Statistics project)
* Sometimes taking charge could do wonders as well (CS 30 presentation)
* Teamwork is the key to philosophy orals... (Luigi and Keb)
* All nighters are discouraged but are quite amusing if you got other people staying up as well (Thanks to Pau, Tracy, Khristian)
* kailangan mo ng mga matitinong kausap kapag ang gulo gulo na nang mundo (thanks to jeerah, james, iyah, luigi)
* Minsan naman beer ang kailangan mo (Shout out to: Khristian, Vanjo, Chris, Bianca, Tal, Chino)
* The mind is such a wonderful thing to waste hehe (Finance, Marketing, OPMAN)
* It actually feels good to work out...
* when all else fails, sleep

Ayun sana mas masaya sa 2007
