Job Hunt

Ang hirap maghanap ng internship. I think it's an indication of how harder it would be when I'm out looking for a real job.



All the slots for Probe are taken up already. But I think I'd like to go for an internship there even after I graduate.



ABS-CBN said they're not accepting any more interns this year. But I'm not giving up. Baka makalusot.



GMA is accepting interns. I'm not sure if I want to go there though. But I'm applying.



ABC 5 is also accepting. That's my last resort.



I hope I get a network before the month ends. Or I'm dead.

First Week High

Kakatapos lang ng enrollment week/first week of classes. Kakaibang high ang dala sa kin ng week na ito, hindi ko alam kung bakit. Huling sem ko na 'to, so huling chance ko na 'to para matupad ang aking mga new sem resolutions. so far, maganda naman ang start. Malinis ang apartment namin, medyo nalinis ko yung clutter ko, nadfrost na ang ref, napunasan ang mga dapat punasan, nagising kami nang maaga para magjog...


Nakakapagod ang week na 'to pero for some reason, nahihirapan akong matulog sa gabi kahit inaantok ako. May pagkarestless din ako. Tanong niyo pa kay roro o kay michi, hindi ako makaupo sa isang lugar nang matagal. First week high lang siguro 'to. Sana yung first week high maging last sem high para happy.

Cleaning

Cleaning is actually therapeutic. Today, I mopped the floors, wiped the counter top, cleared and cleaned my computer table, and defrosted the ref. Then I took a bath.


Clearing my clutter (that include the ones in our apartment and the ones in my mind) is actually the perfect way to start my sem.


I'm hyper and exhausted at the same time again.


But I'm happy.

...

It's been one whole semester since I last danced. Well, I dance when I'm happy, but that's not counted. I never thought I'd be able to survive that long without dancing. But I did. And now, I want to dance again.


5 months without dance training is a long time, especially if you're a serious dancer. I miss one week of dance class, and I'm way behind. Now how am I going to catch up with that? I'm so out of shape.


The skills I practiced for years are practically almost gone. It's like starting from zero. When I was still dancing, I thought that there was no way I was going to stop. But I stopped. It wasn't easy. And starting again is just as hard.


I want to dance again. I just don't know how to start.

The Last Semester

After 7 semesters of sleepless nights, crammed papers, headache-inducing exams, professors ranging from nice to terror to weird, radio and tv productions...

I'm finally down to my last semester. Meaning, if there are things that I want to do before I graduate that I haven't done yet, this is my LAST chance. Unless I'm delayed, which I'm not. I've been thinking during the sembreak of my goal/s for this semester. And I still haven't thought of one. Ok, there are a million things that I haven't done yet, but most of the things I wanted to do, I have done already. But that doesn't mean I'm contented. That's why I'm still thinking of my goal for the last semester. Any suggestions?

Anything goes...

Just checked my grades. Happy! US ako yey! That is, kung walang mali sa grades ko. I couldn't believe it. I had to recompute my GWA several times before I finally convince myself. Haha.




I've put off gradcomm work for quite a while. But I'm back on track.




I always say I'm tamad. Maybe I am. Sometimes. I'm either super tamad or super hyper. And right now, super hyper mode is wearing off.




I'm meeting my high school friends tomorrow yey! I haven't seen some of them for a looooong time. Lots of catching up to do.




I need to watch Season 3 of House. Like, right now.




I miss you.

Deaths

Life is weird, but death is weirder. Yesterday, my sister received different text messages from different people about the death of Bro. Rafe Donato, who was president of De La Salle Lipa during my high school years. I dismissed it as one of those terrible jokes. Then i started to receive the same text messages. I couldn't believe it. He can't just drown or disappear while swimming. This morning, the text was confirmed by a teacher when I went to La Salle with Arjae. Unbelievable. Bro. Rafe is one of those persons I have great respect for. I remember the few times I was able to talk to him. Watching news of his death on TV Patrol was worse than the text messages. The text messages treated him with dignity. The news just commodified him into another victim.




Another death reported on TV Patrol was that of Pinoy Dream Academy's EP. That wouldn't have bothered me if it happened a sem ago. Roro and I need to interview him for the PDA part of our thesis. Freaky.




.....If there's one thing that I'm really really really scared of, it's death.
