False Prophecy a.k.a 2012

Nope, this entry isn't about how the world should be doomed by now. It's about how MY world in 2012 went. Oh, now you're not interested? Okay.. well, bye! See, year 2012 isn't any other year that passed by (well, for me at least), I've had rejection and success, the "oh I can't contain my happiness" and "why is this happening to me" phase in life happened all in one year. Pretty awesome, huh? Yea, I think so, too. Well, I've officially bid farewell to year 2012 (since it's January 4th already, and I should've done this post few days ago) with a smile with konting luha sa may tear ducts. I've been really grateful for what has happened through the awesome months of 2012. It indeed is, wait for it... LEGENDARY! (yea, 2012 is the year I fell in love with Barney Stinson)

Here's why...

For starters, I got married to a local celebrity, Sam Concepcion, well that's pretty much the reason why I love this year so much. *kruu kruu* Okay okay, sue me for mindless dreaming! One day, you'll see me in your TV screen watching how some man proposed to me under a mango or a coconut or a kaimito tree (masyadong sosyal kasi si Carmina, may pag blossom tree pa) with a string quartet, bonggang lights, and a man kneeling saying "Rachel, will you marry me?" and you'll be surprised 'cause that man is SAM! SAM I say! Then you'll find yourself saying, "Dreams really do come true!" And I'll knock on your door saying "In your face!"

Wait, this isn't about how I wanted my marriage proposal to be like. Now, where was I? Oh yea, my 2012.

> Best Valentines Day ever!!! - Spent it with my ever enthusiastic dormates and got a "Happy heart's day, Rachel" from Mr. Atom Araullo (the field reporter guy)

> Kick ass Separasyon - Uuuh aaaah! I'm Sheila and lascivious is my middle name! 

> Buhay pro!binsyanaaah (Bamboo's tune) for a month - Mindoro escapade with grandparents and cousins for a month.

> Youth Leadership Training Program - Counselor to 11 campers. I'm a leader myself. Woo hoohw!

> Feast of Tabernacles'12 - Awesome God. Amazing Journey.

> Finalist at Ad Competition - I don't know why I was picked either. But hey, yaaay!

> Intense shooting days - This brought out my dark side. Mwahaha!

> Jojo's, Angge's, Honey's 18th birthday

> Gawad Tala - Awards night for our productions. All of our hardworks paid off!

> Binisita ako ng Parokya ni Edgar - Sabi nila malakas daw ako sa kanila e, so ayun!

> Got into Heraldo Filipino - Yay! My first byline!

> Quit Heraldo Filipino - Aww.

> Finalist at Quill Awards - Salamat, SULYAP.

> Got through 3rd yr 1st sem without failing mark. Huzzzaaaah!

> Fell madly in love with Neil Patr.. yea no, the real him is gay so.. Barney Stinson and Chris Evans (purely because of his abs)

> MY 18th - Pure happiness! <3

 

So there, well it's legendary for me. How did your 2012 went? 

I'll give you a tour

Immature formation of mental objects

These are unfinished compositions I made few months ago. I never finished any of them. I tend to come up with a thought and just let it end with a vague conclusion or leave it with no ending at all. Bummer.

My safe refuge

    Aaah. Finally! Time to blog! For the past months, I've been occupied meeting deadlines and requirements for my acads and org duties. I barely had time to spend 10 minutes in front of the mirror (like I normally do) more so to blog. So, waddup? 

    For starters, I finally got in to Heraldo Filipino, the official publication in De La Salle University - Dasmarinas, as a Feature apprentice. Yay! Getting through the application exam and panel interview was never easy. I had to gather all my guts and pride to get going but by the time I finally got in, all the hard knocks paid off. I just had to leave my other org, Lifters, to balance my time well. It's my life-long dream to see my name on the byline of an article, and being a part of HF is one step ahead to reach that dream. Through the process of editing, I'm gradually learning of what to do and what not to do, and it really does help me improve as a writer. But I had a hard time balancing my time for my acad duties and for HF. My friend was right when she said "Iba talaga pag 3rd year!", I couldn't get that out of my mind because she repeatedly say that when we were 2nd year. And so the expected happened, iba nga talaga pag 3rd year. I thought what we did when we were 2nd year was way out of my league, I thought wrong, 3rd year was beyond intense! Thus, our bond as a block became more intense as well.

Honey's 18th

    Sleepless nights, sun-kissed skins, bad temper, laughter, endless convos, delightful meals, I share these moments with the most amazing people I know. Our block may have the least number of students compared to other blocks and we may be overlooked at some point but we have our ways in proving ourselves and showing off our potentials. Our patience and relationship as a block have tested through time and I'm saying "Yay!" with pride because we got through all of those trials and shortcomings with a smile with konting luha sa may tearducts. I'm proud of what my block has accomplished and what we have proved. And I'm proud that I'm part of COM33. I would take a bullet for you guys! I love you sagad to the bones! COM33! Matira matibay! Ye-ah!
