88: Out Of The Ordinary

Today was another great day for me! I got a front row seat for GMA's RH Bill Debate taping, went to Congress again, ate lunch together with the big-ass Pro-RH Bill people, was introduced to Risa Hontiveros (waaah she now knows my name! :">), fell in great adoration with Dr./ Cong. Janette Garin, and wore purple corpo clothes. Plus, I got tons of love after one seriously draining day. To my Stress-Reliever, thank you <3 I super needed it. KILIGZ MUCH. Hihihi.

Aaaah, one good (and busy) day coming up!

87: Unbelievable

Today has been unbelievably unexpected, tiring and amazing. I learned loads, met some of the most awesome advocates in the country, and got out of my comfortable cocoon of being more-or-less apolitical.

To nine more days like this!

86: Today

Why the scarcity of posts? Blame it on our school Orsem.

But don't get me wrong, I super loved our work. As in, SOBRA. Chad and I were assigned as the heads of the Publications Committee, and if you know me, you would probably associate me with such stuff. Writing, layout, design, photography--artsy fartsy stuff--si Bea mahilig 'dun. So although I was drained a great deal, I enjoyed every bit of our tasks. The kind words of praise from those who saw our hard work were really heart-warming and rewarding, as well. And to top all that off, Orsem was sooo awesome. The performances, the tours, the program.. ANG GOLENG. Our effort as a batch was so evident, I could cry. Haha. Pero totoo talaga! Kinilig ako sa ASMPH Class of 2015 :)

Anyway, what's with the title, you might ask? Well, today, May 16, will be the start of a lot of things for me:

1. Start of our two-week internship (we're assigned to PLCPD Foundation, Inc.)

2. Start of my two-week diet (in preparation for the SCOPE Plansem in Sunny Batangas, wee!)

3. Start of my no-more-late-nights routine (I must sleep at 11PM, AT THE LATEST. Eyebags, be gone!)

4. Start reviewing for the compre exams (and for YL6)

5. Start of my daily workout (again, for a beach-ready body for Batangas and Cebu)

6. Start saving up! (as in tipid na tipid na tipid!)

7. Start of an active, meaningful, and blissful summer (no to laziness, negativity, and overthinking!)

Let's do this! :)

85: The Real Thing

It takes a great deal of maturity to live a life of happiness and love. You have to compromise, but you have to fight for what's right. You have to admit your faults, but you have to stand up for what you believe in. You have to understand, but you have to be firm.

Life's really a battle of dichotomies of sorts, a mismatch of the things important to you. In the end, you are the one to decide: will you listen to your heart or your head? What would a mature person do?

84: Stressed Out

I hate people who don't live up to their promises and who seem to think they can get away with anything because the people they deal with are nice. I've always been the understanding one, but there is a limit to what I can put up with.

83: 7 Days

• Overnight in Binangonan with friends
• First tuli experience
• Crispy halo-halo
• Endless orgwork
• Confusion, still

Right now, I'm feeling sick. Running under the drizzle proved that I am not as invincible and healthy as I thought I was.

Good night!

82: Hear the Heart

"It's impossible." said pride.

"It's risky." said experience.

"It's pointless." said reason.

"Give it a try." whispered the heart.

--Para sa'yo, gawa ko.

-From one of my best friends, Mica.

81: That Feeling

"Nararamdaman ko 'yung puso mo."

"Tumitibok 'yan para lang sa'yo."

Hearing this in real life, minus the almost-perfect romance seen in movies and TV shows, was heart-warming. Although I answered back with a "WEEEH" and laughter, I admit that I got kilig--the kind of kilig that not even Love Actually or A Little Thing Called Love can compare with :)
