official last day of school.
i didn’t want to think that this day could be my last day in UP.
can’t be… ‘coz I haven’t seen the sunflowers along the university avenue bloom yet…
so i had a very simple and quick goodbye to my closest friends in the college.
no dramatic stuff. thankyouverymuch.
but i was just teary-eyed while i was in the jeepney.
i felt sad ‘coz for ten months I spent most of my waking hours in a classroom
studying how to part-write, listening to my teacher play something on the piano and try to write it down… and learning how to not get confused with the sol-fa syllables when sight-singing.
I’ll miss the nerve-wracking moments before solfege, voice and piano exams.
Speaking of piano exams… i just had mine this afternoon.
twas no that bad. my hands were shaking ‘coz I was nervous so i hit some wrong notes.
But that’s okay. I enjoyed playing… and i’ll be missing it to bits….

i’ll miss sir eudy’s remarks… yung mga “ang ganda ni ria ngaun..” hahaha…
i’ll miss the tambay moments… the awkward moments… lahat ng moments. hehehe
lunch sa masscom building…sisig at tapsi sa sc… siomai na latest craving…
free flute lessons… walang hanggang kwentuhan… suntukan… mango shakes…
paglalakad sa ilalim ng matinding sikat ng araw… mood swings… jamming sa ey-eytch-ey…
tanungan ng weird questions… paglalakad papuntang central… paghihintay hanggang makasakay ako ng very elusive pantranco jeepneys… free concerts… mga kumpare at kumare…
words of encouragement… discovering new pastimes… billiards… bowlings…. kape…
chismisan… even with the boys. hehehe… malamig na classroom…
my ‘loner’ moments in the annex building while waiting for my voice class to begin…
cramming… acquaintances… si kuya lito… (naks special mention si manong….)
psycho cat…

i could go on and on here… it’s been ten months, eh.

One of the best ten months in my life…

so let me do some sort of a roll call…in no particular order…

now… can somebody get my classcards for me? hehehe… and then get my stuff from my locker and deliver
it to my house? hehehe…

oh and a bunh of thanks to my teachers too… though they won’t get to read this stuff. it’s the thought that counts anyway.

ma’am cheng… you were so ever patient with me. thanks for being really cool. ^^

si eudy… isa kang henyo! my biggest regret about leaving school is not being able to be taught by you. you breathe music.

ma’am glad… nobody can be cooler than thee. not only did you teach us music… but also a lot of stuff… like inside stories in the college. hehehe… luv ya ma’am glad!!!

ma’am bev… i think we’re about the same age… =) and you’re just amazing and inspiring. the college is so blessed to have you as a student and now as a teacher. you definitely rock…

ma’am luci… for all the homeworks… exercises… exams… thankyou! ^^ i’m blessed to have been your student. nakakapagod but ’twas all worth it. though i had a lot of lazy moments… sana hindi
ako nagkaron ng lazy moments. hehehe

ma’am aileen… that voice!!! whoa… thanks for teaching me patiently. you’re really one of the best.

so there…. i guess i’ve already expressed everything I wanna write down. now hope those concerned will get
to read this. hehehe…

we’re all still under the same sky…

I think i’ve written here something about… love of a jealous kind. yeah…. when I lost my 500 bucks…

well i got that from jars of clay’s song… “Jealous Kind”. Hindi naman masyadong halata na fan talaga nila ako.
What can i say… they write songs that really hit home.

Artist: Jars of clay
Song: Jealous Kind
Album: Who We Are Instead

i built another temple to a stranger
i gave away my heart to the rushing wind
i set my course to run right into danger
sought the company of fools instead of friends

you know i’ve been unfaithful
lovers in lines
while you’re turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kind
i chose the gallows to the aisle
thought that love would never find
hanging ropes will never keep you
and your love of a jealous kind
love of a jealous kind

trying to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading
for solace in the shift of the sinking sand
i’d rather feel the pain all too familiar
than to be broken by a lover i don’t understand
‘cause i don’t understand

one hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars
if i should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace
and love that shames the wise, betrays the heart’s deceit and lies
and breaks the back of foolish pride

on the side…

Ngayon ko lang nalaman na ang sarap pala ng siomai na binebenta sa tabi ng college namin… ummm…. across CMC building. Siguro masarap siya kasi libre (courtesy of ate denden… ^^) Olrayt! There are still a lot to be done with my piano piece… at least the other three are okay. Just the Bertini and the Boat Song ang mejo hellish… well Bertini is quite okay. Kulang lang sa practice.

Yesterday was an evil day. I super sucked in my solfege and dictation exams… and the internet connection here in the office was crazy. I guess it has a life of its own. And my camera walked out on me. I mean I couldn’t use it just when I was about to start my class!!! Well at least I survived to face this day. Twas cool. I attended a choral workshop organized by my org in the college and our department. I enjoyed the whole thing though I was really sleepy. We got to sing some songs… and what wonderful songs.

now tomorrow i have a theory exam to battle with… so there… im outta here.

classes are almost over…. then it’s our final exam (shingshingshingshing… Psycho effect)

i did something stupid with my piano piece. Haaay… buti na lang napansin ni Ma’am Cheng. I forgot to copy the other half of my etude. Wahehehe…. stooche. Anyway… good thing the piece is quite easy… so i didn’t have a hard time playing it.

hmmm…. i already read my classmates’ messages for me… some kids are really sweet. ^^

oh… and the class concert last friday was swell. I had a good time watching my classmates. I also sang… but it was a very short piece… i don’t think i sang well ‘coz I was watching the dancers dance.. duh.

then i also lost some money that day. =(
but it’s okay… i’m thinking it’s because of “love of a jealous kind”…. It could be just that.

I’m waiting for something to happen… hope it does happen… kinda life changing for me. Haaaay… all in God’s time…

Got this fom blogthings….

I thought ’twas cool. hehehe… ‘coz incidentally my dad’s a pastor. hehehe

Your Daddy Is Bill o’Reilly

What You Call Him: Papito Why You Love Him: He takes you to church

Oh yeah… my back is killing me. I have the worst posture man!!! I should’ve listened to my dad everytime he’d tell me to sit up straight. Haaay… I hop this is just part of my PMS… ‘coz it’s so ouch.

ANd my tongue hurts too… I think I ate too much… donut. Sarap kasi ng peanut better ng hot loops. NOt too sweet so i’t not nakakaumay. May super loves it too!!! Hehehe… naimpluwensyahan ko kasi.

Our class concert is tomorrow. That’s like our final exam for our MuL subject. IT’s about philippine music. So i’m going to sing a kundiman infront of the class!!! Imagine that? I’ll have a duet with Ralph… but i don’t know that song very well… sheesh… hope everything will go smooth tomorrow…

Hmmm…. my hands hurt aside from my back. I wrote a lot today. I’m not used to write a lot anymore. I Mean I write notes not words… so mejo nabigla ang aking mga kamay kahapon. Ma’am Glad gave us something to do kasi. We have to write notes to all of our classmates. Tough job i tell ya! ‘coz i’m not close to most of the people in class. but i think that’s one cool idea… now i’m quite anxious already about what others might write for me… hehehe

toodles!

Hullo!!! (echo effect on my head)

Apparently.. somebody still reads this stuff… ^^

Can’t post on the other blog… ‘coz… you know… it’s in friendster. Hehehe….
And hey… it’s been a millenium since I last wrote something here… And i miss this blog… Sniff…

So what has been happening… a lot actually. Lotsa stuffs are happening that I don’t have time to pause and dink it all in… or even process the things…. i just let ‘em pass by. Which is sorta bad.

I’m actually waiting for the world to fall. Yeah… jarsofclay song… miss ‘em guys. Haven’t bought good mosnters yet. It’ll come. ^^

So, what will it take me to be floored? Question of the moment…. Tough question, that’s why I don’t want to think about it… much less ponder on it.

Anyway…. how about an update.

My fist academic year in UP is almost over. So that means it’s finals week. Well almost too… mejo dinadagundong na ang puso ko sa mga performance classes. Aside form that… sometimes I wonder if I’m really cut out to be a choral conductor… since that’s what I’m studying now. Haaay… masyadong seryoso. Wag muna isipin… Oh.. and one sad thing too… I don’t get to attend my dg. I thought I can go back and join my girls… but i dunno… i somehow feel left out… like i feel like i’m far from the good things in life… if you know what i mean. And if I think hard about it…. ayoko muna. Wag ko muna isipin yun. This is really bad… And yet I’m not doing anything about it.

There are still a lot of broken hearts lying around….

not much of an update…

c’mon sing it james… “it’s time to surrender, it’s been too long pretending, there’s no use in trying when the pieces don’t fit anymore”…

just counting the days…
