Freedom to express myself.

I'm a terrible blogger. So many important events have already passed and I haven't blogged about them yet so I guess I'll just skip it first and talk about today.

Today was a (in lack of a better term) happy day. Tabbi, Raymund, Maan and I had a lunch meeting with Sir Jay regarding this super secret thing we're planning.

Herb Chicken, Mac and Cheese, and Rice for lunch!

Our own personal server for the afternoon.

All I can say is that the foundation of this super secret thing is going really smoothly and I really see a future for it. I hope I can disclose more information but in due time!

After lunch, I headed to the University Student Government (USG) Office for the Legislative Assembly (LA) session regarding the approval of the abolishment of the university's dress code resolution. It was an amazing first-time experience because I saw my friends in action. Things got pretty intese but thankfully it didn't go out of hand. Bee and I still found time to do crazy things amidst the tensioned room.

Genevieve is one of my friends in the LA and it was great seeing what she does best. I'm truly proud of her and the rest of the majority.

It made me really happy when they all finally decided to disapprove the resolution. I personally do believe that there should be a dress code in the educational institution I am in for a conducive learning environment. I don't think that EVERYONE is ignorant enough to know how to dress appropriately or not but in such institution, there should be limitations. It prepares one for the future especially in their respective professions. I just think that there should be a more lenient set of parameters for the dress code. I know the minority is disheartened but.... I don't really want my blog to be a source of public dispute. I know that as the administrator of this blog, I have the freedom to express myself but still, that doesn't mean I shouldn't think of how this can affect other people, may it be positively or not. There are just some things you can keep to yourself or to people who you know won't be offended.

On a lighter note, I enjoyed the rest of the day breaking bread with my Santugon family.

of misadventures and mishaps

A rundown of a few fun and funny things that came to be weeks back.

We sent our gay friend a picture of Vince's stomach

My favorite soon-to-be celeb friend.

Had dinner in Pancake House and left the house unknowingly with mismatched shoes.

I didn't notice till the man in the next table looked at my feet and chuckled.

University of the Philippines - Diliman was my dream school throughout high school.

I had it all planned out. I'd live with my cousins near SM North EDSA then take a jeep to UP. I'd be a Broadcasting Communications major and have duckpin bowling or walking as my P.E. activity. I'd eat Mang Larry's isaw everyday and bring home a cake from Chockiss to my mom every weekend.

But my dreams came crashing down when I didn't receive this:

So I ended up going here:

But enough about my college life, let me save that for another post.

Summer before our junior year.

Junior year.

My best friend and I planned to go to UPD for the longest time. Our dreams were crushed and while I ended up in De La Salle University (WHICH IS A BLAST IN A GLASS!), my best friend ended up in UP Manila. So we basically ruled Taft in our own territories. I felt like we were Blair and Serena (scene: taking over Paris). 

I don't have weird hair like that, just so we're clear.

We both had plans to shift to UPD after our first year in college. I ended up not applying in another university because I am extremely happy in La Salle. My best friend on the other hand did not like her course in UPM. So a few months ago she applied for a shift request to UPD-Archi. 

Just a few minutes ago, she messaged me saying she got accepted! Initially I was sad, that I have to admit. I didn't want my best friend to leave Taft. But then at times like this, one shouldn't be selfish. I'm now very much overjoyed to hear that my best friend is finally going to be happy and living her dream in UPD. I always knew you were meant for that place. You were the smartest in barkada (sorry guys, this I have to admit). I'm just really happy that you're happy! Even if you'll be leaving Mel, Penny, and me in Taft, you should know that we're extremely proud of you and that no matter how far the North is, we'll be visiting you! Mang Larry's and Chockiss this coming school year? :)

I LOVE YOU, Agnes!
