Thinking Out Loud
Tidbits
I am a 24 year old female who still cannot come to call myself as a woman simply because I am like a child in a lot of ways. I am an online gamer and I have a several jobs but I fix people's flights and hotel problems for a living in the real world. I cry over rock songs but I cannot play any instrument. I have people screaming, crying and cursing at me for 40 hours in a week and I can still be nice to people. I suck at doing girly things but I love flowers in the pouring rain. I do not like arguments but I stand fast to my beliefs. I am my own person. I can be your pleasant surprise.

Listening to: Slide [Goo Goo Dolls]
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it comin'..

There has been more than quite a few thunderstorms the past few days. Reminds me that summer is already over. It's already June anyways.. *sigh* So I've decided to make this entry as a tribute to the summers of my life (the one's I could remember, that is). Coz I have just recently realized that things happen for me during summer..

Summer or '93:
Summer before I enter 4th grade. Took the SPED exam and passed so I transferred schools. And uh, yeah.. This summer I also took Theater Arts classes and I kinda impressed my Instructor. LOL ^^

Summer of '94:
Scenario - I am in my new school's oval. Waiting for my sister's summer classes to end. The wind was blowing nicely. Meanwhile, I busy myself with catching the petals falling off from the firetrees that surround the oval. I was swirling and swirling - making a wish every time I catch a petal..

Summer of '96:
Summer before I start HS. It was a blur, that's all I can remember. Something about me not knowing which school to go to because I got accelerated and finished grade school a year early..

Summer of '98:
CMLI Summer Camp in Lucban Quezon. Twas fun :)

Summer of '99:
Summer before my Senior Year. CAT Officers Training. Spent 2 weeks out of the House in CAT Boot Camp! =P It was hellish and fun at the same time. Wake up at 3am.. Breakfast.. Jog.. Drills.. Lecture.. Lunch.. Lecture..Physical Activities.. Dinner.. Lights out.. or Guard Duty. Imagine having to cook for 75 people! Eek >.<

This is also the time of UPCAT reviews, and going around my HS friend's house. Lots of sleepovers and swimming escapades.. Roasting tilapia on the beach and me swimming wearing my jeans! :)

And oh, this is when I met ex # 1, though it was one of his friends who's a got a thing for me back then..

Summer of 2000:
Out of HS and off to college. This was spent shuttling to and fro Manila and Aklan. Enrolled in UP, then went back home to spend my last summer there. Ex # 1 and I are together this time - our first summer. He was at my place everyday. From around lunchtime until late in the evening. then we'd talk on the phone until the wee hours of the morning when he gets home..

Summer of '01:
First Collge summer! Spent it in Aklan, catching up with friends. And spending lots of time with ex # 1. We didn't know it's gonna be our last summer together..

Summer of '02:
I can proudly say I'm over ex #1 by this time. Carlo became my boyfriend, and Xave gave me one of his "I told you so.." comments when I told him about it. Summer classes for Algebra.. Eeek >.<


Summer of '03:
Carlo and mine's best summer.. Summer getaway at his Lola's place in Quezon, which he didn't tell his dad about. LOL :)

Summer of '04:
My sister's debut. Had a two-week vacation in Aklan with Carlo. He met my folks and my mum loved him. Went to Bora too..

Spent most of this summer at Ayn's place. Carlo and I hung out with Ahmed, Angel, Gladys, Eric and Nicky a lot. The talk was about Magic Cards and movies. Spent lots of nights at Ayn's place trying to comfort her..

Carlo and I had a big fight over some guy I befriended in RO, and over Angel's s'posed crush on me. LOL >:)

My last summer as a student..

Summer of '05:
Desperately wanting to go back to Aklan, if only for a few days.

Also considered resigning from ePac..

This summer:
Got promoted. Lots of adjustments at work..

Rough time with Carlo.. Too much fights about time, priorities and a bunch of other crap. It ended after 4 years..

But we are still friends though..

Now I have a lot of time for myself. I'm still getting used to this being on my own thing though.. But I think I'm doing good.

Went to lots of movies with my office friends. Saturday nights alone at Jollibee plaza and crashing at Ms Joey's or Sir Mike's place :)

Got in touch with old friends. I also got to think about what I wanna do with my life. Right now, I just wanna take it one day at a time. So much for making plans. :)

I went back to RF and enjoyed every pixelated moment of it. Met a whole bunch of new people, including a lone gunman who describes himself as a deep thinker), and has taken to calling me Tamashi-can (Tamashi = nihongo for Soul). He has made it a habit to kidnap me and whisk me off someplace I've never been to everytime, with the fireworks and all. The other day we spent 10 hours, just talking. We're both suckers for good conversation I guess.




Last night - Bellato Water Garden (Reminded me of Ferngully ^^;)

This summer is all about choices. And so far I'm happy where I am.
