My Highlights
1. Transition (from a girl to a woman, officially)
-It wasn't exactly the "you're the princess of the night" debut celebration nor was it even a blast. But it wasn't a fuss too. On the 25th of September, I woke up expecting nothing but a mundane day. While I was brushing my teeth, my cousins came rushing with a PIGLET-FIGURED birthday cake. Though it was some kind of a rude joke, I appreciate their thoughts. 'twas a saturday, and we had a shifting exam. On Microbiology Class (my first class in the morning) no one seem to remember my birthday. A guy classmate came in late and instead of greeting the teacher, he told everyone to sing me a birthday song. That made my day. :) I had no gifts, I thought. But then while I was up for some breakfast ('cause I eat breakfast in school), I noticed I had an unusual company in eating. Later on when his bunch of friends surprised me with gifts, I knew he was sent to spy on my whereabouts. I cried, tears of joy for the first time in my life. That was the most moving scene in the whole 18 years I was greeted on the 25th. I waited for my best friend to greet me. I thought since he didn't, he might be waiting outside my classroom by 6pm to surprise me or something. But then I saw a different person, instead. Good thing she was as special as him. That was Ate Pau. We ate Pizza and then she walked me home. The best friend greeted at 11:59pm with nothing much but a lame or shall I say, PLAIN greeting, it broke my heart and he doesn't know :(
Thank you, Jobel, Jude, Eurice, Richelle, Aiyana, Ed and April :) You are much appreciated! ♥
Thank you, Cousin. ♥
Even if I dreamed of so many things for this day, for the past few years... Even if, I yearned to dance with him and the rest, it all comes down to one thing... one realization. I don't need to throw a party to feel good about being 18. To be able to accept the fact that I can't throw one is enough. I was gifted with maturity, I suppose. I am so happy to know that there are unexpected friends who actually care.
2. I got Capped (I'm an Official Student Nurse, then! )
- Enrolling in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is not my excuse for the present crisis and passport to the outside world. It was solely my dream. A big dream to save lives and wear white! When I was in my freshman year I felt so amateur, that I didn't feel my worth as a student of my college. After 4 months of hard work and experience and the sleepless nights of memorizing things to verbalize and perform procedures related to maternal and child and handling a family in a community, it all paid off. I am now capped!
- And to substantiate what happened would be inappropriate for such matters are not to be publicize. If there's one person at fault the most, I believe that is me. And it's really so sad that this happened. :(
After all the fuss, I'm not closing my doors, though.
4. There's a Rainbow always after the rain
- I admit that I lost a few friends but then I gained more than what I lost. I met VOLTES 5 and they called me their PLUS ONE . As a result, we are now V5+1. With them, I am myself. With them I grow. They love and understand me and care for me as much as none of my friends in my entire existence, I swear! I love them so much.
5. We got Reshuffled
- we were enrolled to a BLOCK SECTION system but we broke the record by the batch's attitude problems. Professors couldn't endure much of our behavior so we were sorted out, sorted very carefully, only to ensure that we were around with a bunch of strangers. God! He plays with me so wisely. My ex-best friend now is my classmate. cool, huh!
These are the top 5, at least.
2010 was the most tedious roller-coaster ride for me. It was one of the years that gave me the best headache, and the comfort I get after throwing up.
so like. :]
