Whew! Summer class (more like duty) is finally over! Although I really did not wish it would be over so soon, but it's nice to feel carefree and idle especially now that it's still summer break!

Over the two months of playful weather (that totally scrapped "summer"="heat" logic), I've experienced the most relaxed, idle, fun, hectic, chaotic summer of all. It wasn't the usual summer I've had where in most of my time were spend in school. I've had nights where I would bury myself with school requirements and thick old boring books, of course. But there were more nights (and days) where I would find love, fun and excitement all throughout. You see, only 3 weeks of my summer days were spent to comply with the required duty hours and in between weeks, we were given a week of break. And whom else do I spend those days with? Nobody else but my dearest friends. :)

My first taste of summer splash was that birthday treat of Gellie and Weng in Montegelo. It was my first outing for this summer and I really had a blasT! Dipping into the pool with fresh spring water as cold as ice was heaven. And what more could complete this ecstasy? The company of my barkada. It was love. It was fun. It was an adventure. However, pix are not found here. hehe. :)

Next highlight was the overnight. May 7, 2009, all the LCLC alumni were invited to join the newly baptized (what at term!) LCLC batch 5. It also served as a mini reunion in preparation of the next year's event: the first reunion of all 5 batches. (insert realizations here) It's been 3 years already since I officially (and forcibly? haha) left my high school years. I admit, the transition wasn't smooth as for me. I felt I've lost a lot as "HS brand" was officially torn from my identity and felt too afraid to embrace the new world of college life. I've had a tough time blending with the now very diverse people. I always wished I could go back to being a HS student again, over, and over. But those were the first 2 years of my being a college. Now, 3 years and counting and its enough for me to embrace the reality. When before I would shed a tear or two wishing hopelessly to turn back time, but now I can manage to look back, feel the pain a little and smile remembering those really good times. :) And that night, that LCLC reunion held on the very grounds of XUHS, I felt no pain no more. I'm glad to say I have finally moved on. :) (end realizations here.haha)

The barkada long before planned to have an overnight to catch up a little, and after LCLC socials, we were off to Eduardo's house. We had a sleepover (which is ironic because we almost did not sleep) at his place and talked all night long. Although I really tried to sleep for I had a very important school meeting the next day,(our GCP discussion) my traitor friends were victorious to keep me awake. Yet, I did not regret joining the fun even if I missed the meeting and lied to my classmates the day after. (shhh!) Catching up was really the term for there were things I've missed over the year as each of us made updates of our "ongoings." Again, it was love. It was fun. And it was also truthful. :)

The next day came and I remembered someone invited me for lunch. Guess who? Kuya! :D After 2 failed attempts of seeing him, I finally had the chance to! gosh. Although this event marked the day that Chieney made me cry for having to wait 1 freakin' hour, it also marked the day of reunion and excitement for us kuya.

It was actually in conflict with the GCP meeting and since I woke up at around 9:30 and managed to get dressed at 11 already, I felt so ashamed to take a grand entrance at our meeting and decided to ditch it anyway so as to save myself from shame and gossips. (Sorry, I lied guys. :c)

He was to fly back to manila at 5:oopm and we arrived at SM around 1pm already. It was a quick and very short visit but I really enjoyed every single moment we had. Although I felt a bit awkward at first,but I manged to brush it off after a moment. However, I really had a hard time communicating to my kuya for I couldn't identify a common topic we both can relate. I did not want to go back, remembering those HS moments because that is what I usually do and I also grew tired of it. haha. So we just laughed and smiled at what we were currently doing and made fun of the BIG halo-halo and the gayness of weng. nyaha! But good times always had its ending and when the clock striked 5 we said our jokingly but sincere goodbyes and off he went to the cab. *sigh*


Lastly, my duty mates. I said before that I really love my duty mates during the first semester. I even made a blog entry about them, only proving that they made that impact to my life so they're worth to record. :) It also hold true now that I belong to a new group with new faces, new personalities. It was just a sad reality that we only got the chance to bond during our last rotation at MRH. If only it happened earlier, we would enjoy each other's company a lot more. It's nice to know that despite this really serious and over dramatic course, there are people you would want to share the agony with. haha. That DR/OR rotation made it all possible!


and so, that's basically my summer. Simple but enriching. :)
