On Standing Up

I just made one of the biggest decisions in my college life. I will be running for office next student council elections.

Last Tuesday, a member from one of the major parties in the college invited me for a meeting. I had no idea it was about the invitation for running in the next election. I was caught off guard so my initial answer was No. Office has never crossed my mind ever since entering college. I'm also heading another nonpartisan organization that's why there might be a clash of conflict in the future. And I hate speaking in public! She gave me time to think about the offer but I said there's only a 20% chance I'd run.

But then when I was on my way home, I considered all the pros and cons of actually accepting the invite. I even asked permission from my parent and my other org's co-officers and they were fine with it even though I'm still not decided about the matter. So I asked Papa God for a sign and He gave me a full moon. Haha

I dont know what really happened but before I knew it, I already messaged her my decision.

Brokesale

I felt like I've used a week-long worth of energy earlier. The early part of the day was like my any usual morning. Around two hours of travel and more than 5 for my classes. Come late afternoon, I decided to go with my friends at this booksale (up to 80%) somewhere in Q Ave. It was my first time to go to something like that, I love books but I don't partake in booksale events. Arriving at the venue, all I advised myself was, "Suck it up, kid." The crowd is overwhelming. I was welcomed by the incredibly long queues leading to only few cashiers. It wasn't just a booksale, there were other school supplies, apparels, christmas decorations. The books were in rumble, on the floor, weren't arranged in any order (a self-help book alongside a sexy magazine, I meanr, really?). In the end, I searched for 2 hours, fell in line for an hour, and only took home 2 books. One Irving for P30, but the bad part is, the other read is the fifth book of a series, meaning I still had to buy the first ones!

Haha, I'm so tired right noooooow. Have to sleep na. Good night!

Betrayed by Loneliness

I'm wondering whether loneliness is really at my side. It's what I actually long for in my everyday long travels,  during nighttime when there's not one thing to do, almost always when the noise of the city is already too much for me to consume; a habit I've been accustomed to even before I've had my likening to reading and eating. But then the past few years have been cruel to me. It has forced unto me the harshness of singlehood. Well maybe harshness is too strong a word, but you get what I mean.

It's fun talking to myself, really, but sometimes the topic of my haplessness is overmuch for the one I'm having a conversation with to bear. It's also rather nice to have the bed for myself, but I found out about spooning and I kinda wanna try it, haha. I'm likewise used to not having to check my phone everytime for an important message, but boy I bet Good morning and I love you texts will make me kilig. And how nice it would be if someone holds my hand during a walk in the beach, or a peck of affection in the dark corners of the moviehouse *teehee*.

Still love the solitary, though! Biglang bawi?

Narrow-Momded

Haaay, my mom is so narrow-minded. I don't think there's anything wrong with questioning your religion. It's not even the religion I'm questioning about, it's those administering it and what they do that I'm having inquiries about. It's like the difference between what is planned and what is implemented, right?

Finally Something to be Glad About

 

Funny I told myself during the middle of the sem when things started to look blurry for my academics that I'll let go of it and just redeem myself the following semester. I was rather surprised thought when the grades came out and it turns out this was actually one of my best semesters basing it from my general weighted average. Yey, college scholar again! :>
