Our class had its first exposure to the community of San Jose last Wednesday and even though it was definitely not as easy as 1-2-3, I still enjoyed the first experience with my classmates. I'm just a little anxious about the next steps because as the leader in our group, I seem to be one of those whom our instructors depend on to organize the class on this whole thing. I don't want the added responsibility but I can't do anything about it.

On to other matters.. It was the college recognition day last Friday and I was one of those recognized. Plus my sister too. Our level coordinator cancelled all the awardees' 2-5pm classes which meant that I didn't have to attend RLE class. I felt that it was completely unnecessary to cancel class since the awarding ceremonies shall not start until 5pm but heck I didn't want to miss that wonderful opportunity to skip community diagnosis for once, so I was happy and contented with the level coordinator's decision! And so since I had 3 hours of nothing-to-do time, I guiltily went home, took a nap, went online, ate a can of Stik-o and pampered meeself while the rest of my classmates marched yet again to the battlefield called San Jose. Hihihi.

5pm came. My parents, grandma, aunt, Thony and Tin's boyfriend Jerome were there to watch. My dad was the one who went up the stage with me since my mom already did last year. Felt great shaking hands with the dean and all that stunt, but the ceremony lasted too long that my empty stomach kept grunting the whole time. Badong and Mike (my other scholarly and equally hungry classmates) kept texting to me their desperations and boredom throughout the progam.

I like kids. They're devoid of any malicious intent towards their fellow humans. Kids never give fake smiles. They may fight over the littlest things but forget about it after a few minutes. If only adults could follow their example.. then the world shall get rid of all that shit.

Oh and I also thanked God for giving me some brains.

Saturday came and I'm off to school again for community diagnosis matters. Yung group lang namin ang sumipot sa "class" meeting. And I'm proud of our group for that. hehe. Tallying was crucial and suspenseful.

Afterwards, Thony, Red, Khay, Jan, Paul and I hit SM Clark for some real food. We hoarded the "eat all you kan-in" at Tokyo Tokyo. After Jan and Paul left, the four of us remaining felt that we still haven't had our fill yet so we went around looking for merienda and found French Baker inviting.

We spent almost two hours sitting at the place wherein we picked on passers-by and innocent-looking foreigners. Red and Khay also filled me and Thony in on all the dirty gossip (I'm stupid when it comes to gossip so someone has to narrate to me the happenings every other time). We laughed 'til the nearby foreigners stared at us and all the food we ate got digested and we felt hungry all over again. Aw I so loove Red, Khay and Thony.:D

My two VIVITAR IC100 cameras have arrived yesterday. I can't believe they only cost fifty pesos each. Yes you read right. Fifty freakin' pesos each. They're practically DIRT CHEAP so I bought two units. The shipping fee even costs higher than the two units combined! Even a roll of film is more expensive!

I also can't believe that I haven't even paid for them yet. Shame on me. Argh. (REALLY HUGE apology to Jami, I promise to deposit the payment ASAP.)

Can't wait to load my vivi with film and go shooting! I'm giving the other one to Thony.. I'm trying to convert him. Hihihi.:D
