Come South, Cam Sur.

I was BLOG-HOPPING at Multiply when I came across Karmina's blog. She was raving about Camarines Sur.... Read her entry here.

According to her, "It's better than Boracay coz you get the whole package in one place, the beach, the caves, the waterfalls and people there know how to party!"

Tidbits from Karmina's blog:

I was assigned to cover an event in Camarines Sur and the result was piles and piles of work when I got back. ALL WORTH IT. Stop saving your allowance for Boracay since a bus trip to CamSur in a luxury bus to boot (RSL Bus Lines) is only worth P760 (papunta pa lang). But a regular air conditioned bus is only around P500+. Lodgings I have no idea how much it costs but Pili, Camarines Sur is a pretty small and affordable town. If you wanna try wakeboarding at the CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC) it's surprisingly affordable. You can rent equipment and wakeboard the whole day for P250. You might not have personal instructors but there will always be people there to look after you and teach you. They also have a clubhouse and a nice swimming pool where you can sunbathe with a breathtaking view of mountains and clouds... hayyy.. I wanna go back. Wait until the town goes full blasts on the CWC complete with villas, ATV's. more challenging ramps and gamicng center and whatnots. The governor has pretty big plans on CWC so drop by while it's still cheap.

So, I googled Camarines Sur for pics... this is the province's official website

Guys, let's go?

In line with the UP Vandal post...

got this from a comment in Vida's blog... from a certain algonzales96:

"may nag scratch sa pick up ng brod ko... yung 4X4 linagyan ng = 16 tapos kinabukasan linagyan ng check! hahaha!"

Shit, I laughed really hard dahil dito. Baliw kung baliw a.

May continuation pa:

"Sabi ko nga iuwi na nya un sasakyan kasi baka mamaya may maglagay pa ng CORRECTED BY."

Hahahaha...

It became "SOFTER"... a bit.

Got my grades for Criminal Procedure, Forensic Medicine, Land Titles and Property. GOOD ENOUGH to give me a next sem, assuming I get at least a 75 for Criminal Law, Security Transactions, Sales, Partnership and Agency and Negotiable Instruments.

Sooooooooooofter please. Soooooofter. Thank you Lord.

Could it be any HARDER?

They didnt finish encoding our grades. So we have to wait [again] 'til tomorrow evening. Same time, SAME FEELING.

Chubs [who's in FEU-La Salle Law] asked me if i had an Atty. Gonzaga as my professor. I nonchalantly said no and told him that i'd ask around. I did. And well, it turned out I'M STUPID. Hello??? Atty. Chan-GONZAGA? She was my adviser for the whole freshman year. I just didnt associate Atty. Chan-Gonzaga with Atty. Gonzaga. This is one example of a tulalang law student waiting for her grades.

Goodluck with your midterms, Chubs! Kick ass.

10 Minutes

This is not as good as Paulo Coelho's Eleven Minutes.. but in 10 minutes, I will find out what I'm gonna be in the future.

Today's Stresses? Ahh.. OO. Grades.

Tempers might be on edge in conversations between you and some of your close friends, Eunice. Even you, who are usually very laid back and easygoing, might be tempted to snap at people. There's tension in the air, and nerves are strained. Realize this and control the urge to lash back if someone says something insulting or otherwise inappropriate. You won't want today's stresses to affect tomorrow's conversations. Be patient!

Great, just great.

GRADE RELEASE
then: 5pm
now: 10pm

At least the announcement was official, as opposed to last year. I hate waiting. Especially if it involves something which would materially alter [naks, Negotiable Instruments] my future. Japhet called me on my cellphone and we had quite a conversation. All we needed was to talk again at voila, BAKLA nanaman kami. Haha. Ang nagagawa nga naman ng kaba sa paghihintay ng grades.

I Have Faith... because they have faith.

I was buying "inihaw" for merienda when I bumped into a former neighbor.. She's the lola of my "playmate" back when I used to play. [no pun intended]. Surprisingly, she still remembers me and she knows that I'm in the law school. She told me that she'll pray for me so I can finally fulfill my dream of becoming a lawyer. But what almost made me cry was when she said,

"Pangarap ko sana yan para sa mga anak ko e, pero wala naman sila hilig. Ikaw na lang tumupad ng pangarap ko."

It felt so good that people, even those whom I havent seen in a while, believe in me. I live for them. What I lack in self esteem, I get from 'em.

MAGASIN

I was browsing through the pages of my stack of magazines when I chanced upon YOUR PICTURE. You looked so cute, so innocent... but I know better than to equate you with INNOCENCE. You're far from it. I remember how we became friends and it still makes me smile. How we first talked, how we first met. It was a chain of bizarre situations and we got caught up, involuntarily.

I should've said yes when you asked me to stay. Now, all I have are impersonal pictures of you smiling for the camera, for the people who barely know you. I've always known you were cute, but when you used to smile for me... you were definitely at your cutest.

Yeah, you were an ASS. But I think I loved you.

Old Issues. New Fears

November 6th. Six?! Must be an omen. Grades'll be released today and I feel terrible as usual. I think I f*cked my finals up. That's why I don't like getting ok grades for Midterms, I slack off. Now I'm paying the price and I'm really really scared. I just hope I stored enough good karma to make me pass through this sem again.

I *need* to stay long enough in the law school so I can witness the "chaos" that a new issue might bring. I am not hoping for it to happen, I'm just interested in knowing how things'll work out. Basta. I'm hoping for the best.

A week to go and I'm off to Study Land again, no more Neverland for me because my Peter Pan left. Or was made to leave.

Judgmental talaga ako. Ayoko manalo si Rosita sa Pinoy Dream Academy. At naiinis ako na parang pinapaasa sya na magiging superstar sya. [hoping na di mahilig mag-surf ang mga fans ni Rosita]

Finished with HOUSE. So, I'm off to Dharma and Greg, Arrested Development, Scrubs and Ally McBeal.

Ahas ka, Eunice!

I literally am like a snake. Nagbabalat kasi. I finished watching the First and Second Seasons of ENTOURAGE so my sibs and I are off to having a HOUSE marathon. I have a personal Dharma and Greg marathon in-between. Basically, my life revolves around the boob tube.

My sister and I were watching TV Patrol when we sort of got into a consensus that almost all of their news was about people getting killed. Na-overdose kami. TV Patrol’s like a tabloid. I like Bandila more. But the thing that bothers us THE MOST is the fact that both our mom and dad are religiously watching Super Inggo. My mom said, and I quote, “Nakaka-addict kasi e.”. How did I come into this conclusion? We were having dinner when we got into a discussion about how someone becomes a superhero. My mom seriously commented, “It's either ung mom or dad nya un superhero. Si Ava Abaniko kasi mom nya un superhero tapos aswang naman un dad nya... Kaya nga allergic sya kay Super Bawang” I laughed. I could not believe we were discussing it. Laughtrip talaga. Dibdiban.

I promised myself that I'll read in advance for Criminal 2 next semester. Yeah, promises are meant to be broken anyway. Argh.
