Blah etc. and everything else

Ok so today was a lighter day. I didn’t feel as sad, or as lonely as I was the previous days. Suffice it to say that everything that happened today made me forget, for most of the time, the worries I’ve been carrying the previous days.

Today was a Tuesday; I only had two subjects, thank God. So after attending my classes I had to go to Tondo Medical Center, the hospital where my mom worked in, to undergo a very painful procedure. Well I’m exaggerating, it wasn’t very painful because I was injected with Lidocaine, it’s a local anesthetic, meaning it only removes feeling on the part where it was injected. Anyway, so the procedure’s pain was all in my mind, but at least it took my mind of most of the things. But later in the day we had a batch gimmick, for the applicants, of ALCHEMES this sem. So all in all, after my class I went to Tondo Manila, underwent the procedure, and then went back to UP to attend the batch gimmick.

What did 32 people do during a batch gimmick? Without money and food? Simple, we went back to our younger years, I swear most of us was a few days younger afterwards. We played concentration then after everybody was eliminated, we went home. Hehe well it was raining so we couldn’t play patintero.

After the batch gimmick, I went home with Cany (Ronnie Caniel) and Arcy (Rochelle Cruz) two of my co-apps who has the same route home as I do,. In the long SM north line at Vinzon’s hall, what else do you do but talk, so we talked about things, where we lived, I really don’t remember where we we’re when Cany told me that a few of his relatives lived just a few meters from where I do. I couldn’t believe it, hehehe. He said he used to live near the place where I and my friends used to go, it was a playground. We were actually thinking we were once playmates, a long long time ago at that playground. So after the aaahs and oohs, knowing, that we used to live near each other but never really realized that each existed until we applied for ALCHEMES, (gasp) it was so funny that we had so many coincidences.
But wait there’s more. So when I found out that he lived in Baesa, I asked him if he knew any Hernandezs, a branch of my family lives there. You see my grandfather has another family that lives there, so I asked him if he knew anyone with the same last name as me, maybe they’re my relatives or something. I actually asked it as a joke, never really expected an answer. He didn’t have any Hernandez neighbors, but what he had was a Hernandez Teacher, and guess what, his teacher was none other than one of my 1^st cousins, Jennifer Hernandez. Whahahaha I still couldn’t believe it.

We were fazed through the trip, couldn’t really believe it was true, i haven’t asked ate Jeny yet though.

So the disbelief has lightened up my day, plus the fact that I got to play an old game with some new friends. At least my gloom has pulled back a few inches, now it’s gonna come back because tomorrow is ChE 32 day. SO I gotta go.

I just read my friend’s blog after writng this, and I thought I’d talk about it here. It seems he’s very sad, kasi nanganganib ang relationship nila ng GF nya. I sympathize with him, kasi masayahin sya tlga, naawa ako, kasi I can relate, mahal nya kasi ung girl. Narealize ko lang, ang dami namang taong sad ngaun, parang kumakalat sa friends ko, or kinakalatan nila ako, ng sadnaess, sana we can all get through this, so I leave a verse fromt he Bible, bigay sakin ni Jackie, mganda sya, simple pero malaman.

"There is a time for everyhting, and a season for every activity under heaven…

A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance…

A time to love and a  time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
