...and a lot of other things I can't seem to shake from me.
Things have gotten interesting lately... and more hectic. I didn't even notice that the week had ended and a new month is about to start.
I've been looking back on the year before. How childish and immature my goals were compared to what I have been thinking now. I cringe at the thought of the times when my heart was all out for something I can only be a spectator in. At least I tried than never having the courage to do it at all...
Speaking of courage, I mark this week as a milestone. I finally had the courage to talk to a certain someone. Ha! To those who thought I would never do it... up yours! And who said women have to be timid? With the way guys ask us out, our race probably would've been extinct at the turn of the millennium.
The last statement is NOT a generalization. Just pointing things out. Not all guys are like this. And I've had my share naman of interaction.
No, I will NOT expound my last statement.
Last Friday, I had dinner with Queeny and some of my teammates (?!) for the Japan Project. It was a bit awkward for me since I was very late and couldn't understand half of the things they said because most of them happened when they were in Japan. Queeny was kind enough to fill me in naman and as the night started to settle, I became more comfortable with them.
Yesterday, I spent the whole day outside from 6am to 1am Sunday morning. I was in Tuh-gaye-tay with my fellow lectors and we were planning the whole day about our ministry. They made me speak a lot because I'm the youngest in the group. I gave out speeches about being a triangle (change) trying to fit into a square (paradigms) because these people aren't really my peers. They were more like my aunts and uncles. At the end, I felt more involved...and I feel a rush of hectic-ness coming my way. I was volunteered (which I agreed naman) to be part of the Performance Feedback committee. Tomorrow night, I'll be starting my handover training in one of the lectors' house.
Tita Emmy's house in Tuh-gaye-tay was great. The weather was cool and calm. A really nice place to relax and get away from it all.
Ate Rose, Ate Dennise, Ate Donna and I decided to go to the CSA Alumni Homecoming. Batch '81 was the sponsor this year as it is their silver year. I never knew Monsour del Rosario was an Augustinian. And apparently, a lot of alumni were mestizos. Konti lang ang indio. I'm guessing most of them lived in Dasma or Forbes and since this is a school run by Spanish Augustinian Priests (go Fr. Rodriguez and Fr. Manzana!), I guess they have faith in the school system.
It was fun, but the guys smiling/leering (whatever it is they make with their face when they're drunk) at me were old--> as in dad-old.
I also got to read the 2nd reading today and I couldn't be more disappointed. It was all about women being subservient to their husbands. I wanted to be the last proclaimer to read this stuff out loud to a congregation. Isn't fair share and equality enough? All I'm asking is that I get to do the things I want without my husband, or boyfriend (whoever comes first) nagging me. Sure, I can be ladylike if I want but I'm an empowered woman.
Today, my sister and I watched Click. Yes, we're having this strategy to watch movies during its 2nd-3rd week. Unless some hot guy asks me out to watch the latest movie, we're sticking to this plan. I came out of the cinema, looking absolutely like a girl who just cried. I can never hide the fact that I just cried. The skin around my eyes are swollen and red, as well as my nose.
And I think I saw one of my Freshies in Powerplant Mall. I'm not really sure if he recognizes me but I gave him a hint of a smile. Baka feeling niya I'm hitting on him pag di nya ako kilala! hehe. Anyway, my sister's kinda cool with me going around the mall, pointing out things I will buy in the distant future. Sabi nga ni Madonna, we are living in a material world.
Anyway, back to a new week. New challenges (who shall I break this time?). New adventures (where shall I go?). New friends (who will I make bola to?).
I'm counting the days till our house is finished. No more leaks and spills. Hurrah!
