Welcome to the madness..

NAPAMAHAL NA AKO DITO. Sorry. Haha. Dun nalang kayo tumingin.  

 Hey you! I need your help. Please VOTE for my friend, Sha, for this year ARTIC Image Model Search. Just text: ARTIC Sha and send it to 2929. Please pass it on to your friends, too. It'll be a big help. Thanks in advance!

*If you buy one (1) ARTIC Vodka Bottle from participating bars/stores, you get a STUB worth 1000 votes. Just text it to Sha’s name – that’ll be a bigger help! Thanks again.

Saya kahapon. Yun na yun.

It's funny how time just flies by so fast. Parang kahapon lang ako pumunta sa debut ni Bear, and then wham, it's her 19th already.

I just realized, after proms, graduation balls, and debuts, the next thing to go to is a wedding. Parang everything's so clustered, then suddenly, a decade passes before some friend or kabarkada gets married. Parang ang tagal ng hihintayin mo. Wala lang. They should make some sort of a middle celebration, so that you wouldn't have to wait a million years before the next time people would dress up and go to some fancy venue to gaze in awe and admiration at the celebrants.

Madaya rin, walang ganyan yung guys. Why shouldn't guy be allowed to celebrate their life? Where's the presentation? Or the great speeches? Or the symbolic gifts? It's replaced by a Vodka Cruiser in hand and a PS2 controller in another. I just find it odd that the 18th debut is such a grand event while the 21st whatever you call it is reduced to an inuman session, just like any other party.

But you know what, I couldn't ask for more really. These friends I have are enough to last lifetimes. I'd go through hell for you guys, and I'm sure you know that.

And I'm saying this for real. WALANG IWANAN. And I mean it.

Borax III na `to. + Pau, Rai, Ner, Kring, Nic!

I never imagined drinking being one way our barkada to throw away life's problems for just a single day, in fact, for a single second. It's just happened, been happening actually. What can I say, it's fun. It allows us to unwind for a few hours. It reminds us that we are kids and that life shouldn't be taken too seriously that we get a little bit too old for our ages. The nice thing about it is that no one actually gets drunk. It's simply a drinking session with no risk involved. That is, if you don't have allergies *WINK*. Jiza once told me that drinking is a social lubricant. It binds people together no matter what. That's probably why there are lots of people in bars. Everyone's looking for something to hold on to. Some are probably looking at people to save them. Others simply just want to let loose and go crazy after an insanely stressful day. No matter what their reasons are, in the end everyone is just looking for something. Life really is about looking and holding on and grasping what is there right in front of you. Now that alcohol has run through my system, I have this to say. I used to hold it against people who drank. Now I don't, for the reason that I too have problems, and I too want to get away from it all. As long as it doesn't ruin your life, drinking is a pretty okay way to forget. It's better than holding it in and letting life get to you, right?

Here's to life, and about taking the shots.

Please click it. It's my only chance at having something to do for the next weeks. Thanks.

I'm not sad. I'm not depressed. I don't have emotional outbursts anymore. There's nothing for me to vent about and this is why my writing is suffering. I can't seem to write well about happy experiences in my life. I tend to dwell on the dreary and gloomy times, where the emotions are so real and intense that one cannot even begin to describe the feeling. I focus on angst, and build on it to make a cohesive and controversial entry. Sadly, that hasn't happened the past few weeks. I miss writing. I miss having my own sick, sad, twisted world where I rule and what I say is law. I miss listening to emo songs and finding lyrics to best describe my situation. I want to find the chaos back in my life. I believe it gives me direction and heightens my zest for life.

Until then there's nothing more to do that post useless and senseless blubbers. Oh well.

My summer is almost ending. I admit my summer wasn't entirely eventful. All I did was bum around the Ateneo cafeteria for 3 hours and teach a bunch of kids CLE. In addition to that I got drunk. Also my brother got married, I gave a kick-ass speech and made people cry. We went to Enchanted Kingdom and shouted our lungs out in Log Jam. Then off we went to the paintball where I hit my cousin on her leg. Whoopee.

This was probably one of the best summers ever. Despite my girlfriend leaving for Malaysia, I had fun. People kept me sane. To all of you, you've read my messages proclaiming how truly grateful I am to have your shoulders there for me to lean on. So, thanks.

3G, my class was the biggest surprise ever. I loved every single moment with them. From the first day we developed a chemistry I couldn't explain. Along with my partner Mara we tackled Christian Living and tried to explain who God is and why we are here. It was definitely a ride.

Who knows what will happen next year.
