back from Laguna

finally, some "free/stolen" time to blog. ;p stolen coz i really should be working on the survey form that the ChE graduating students have to fill up starting later during their toga fitting. The results of the survey will determine the awardees for the ChE gradution dinner on April 19, 2005 at the UP Balay Kalinaw. just around a week to go but we don't have a single centavo we can spend for the event, in which expenses were estimated at around PhP 28000!!!(todo ambag muna!) until we can market enough money, the department is willing to lend us some amount. but that's not good at all, umpisa pa lang may utang na!!! This is our first major project as ChE reps, and i really hope we'll be able to pull this off! *God help us*

anyway, gonna make the most out of this "free time" so to my dear (few anonymous) readers brace yourself... :D

hard to believe but for four days i've not touched a pc and watched any show on tv! missed FULL HOUSE tuloy...hehe ;p what's even more amazing was that i was out of the house for that duration of time! last time i remember i was out for a comparable amount of time was when i was still in 4th yr HS! that was when i was part of the SCT delegation to the CMLI annual convention held in Baguio sometime in October of 2000! Gosh! that was sooooooooo loooooooooong ago! at least my strategy worked! and it was a good thing that the two activities i wanted and had to attend were in the same province although approximately 2 hours apart...

April 6 and 7 was the UP ALCHEMES' sem-ender/final rites in Pansol, Laguna. meeting time was around 7am and guess what i arrived in Jollibee Philcoa at say 9:30 am... hehe:D anyway, we had to commute as transpo was not provided/included in the payment and we left Jam station in Cubao at around 10:30 am. we arrived at Villa Hortaleza Resort in Miramonte Subdivision at around 1 ata... the place was ok, although the pool wasn't that big, the accommodation and amenities were ok except for one thing! NO BLANKETS!!! and aside from forgetting to pack my toothbrush(had to buy a new one in 7 eleven) forgot to bring my tapis and jacket!!!! damn! by the time i slept (which was around 4am!) was so cold! at one point, my head ached so much! slept late because the applicants weren't "thrown to the pool" until around 2am! although we had to depart the place by 7am since the reservation was from 7am-7am, sobrang enjoy naman!! sarap magswim!!!:D took advantage when the apps were still busy with their "challenges" hehe:D pra pede pa mag- "laps"... hehe:D

before heading off to pangil, we stayed at Katre's place muna in Magdalena, Laguna to pass the time kasi cha and i anticipated that if we headed straight to the place wla pa ung other ESC pips coz meeting time nila sa Jollibee Philcoa was 7am - meaning to say around 8am pa sila makakalis dun!anyway, katuwa mag-commute sa isang lugar na first time mo puntahan! hehe:D tas 2 lang kami ni cha... 2 jeepney rides and a tricycle ride ang Gabriel's Resort from Pansol. but take note, the jeepney fare was for 30 pesos each! astig! hehe ;p much as i want to elaborate, my "free time" is running out... anyway, the Planning Sem 1 was ok... dami ginawa, meetings galore! planning to the max! and enjoy swimming naman sa last night! nag-inuman sila but being the good and shy girl that i am, didn't join them...besides not really much of a drinker... of course, there was a time na bad trip ako... o. p. ako... ilang... etc... ah basta... this is what i have learned: whatever bad feeling i have for someone i must throw away for it is getting in the way of me performing well as an ESC officer, of bonding with others. with regards to my shyness as one officer observed and wrote sa backstabeng'g i need to improve on it... i know there's so much more that i can do than what other perceives i just have to be more assertive and confident of myself and mingle more! good thing there's still a Planning SEm 2!

and so we went home by around 2:30 pm, saturday this time there was a hired vehicle na. the way was through Rizal since Pangil is near the boundary of Rizal and Laguna, so it was much closer. got off sa Valley Golf na lang, and asked my dad to fetch me there na lang. by 10pm was asleep.... got up @10 am Sunday!

by 2pm, another meeting, this time at Meanne's place in Filinvest. do-day of Grad dinner invites, posters and survey forms... whew!!! now still not done with the survey forms... gotta rush! who said i am not busy? :D
