Awful! That is the exact description of "today". I woke up 6:00 in the morning so that I could be in school by 8:00 to get my clearance (which is unnecessary upon enrollment for the next semester). The real deal is… I am not confident with regards of my scores. Therefore, I have to get my clearance to know if I am lucky enough to pass all my courses this semester or the cause of my irresponsibility will start paying off. Although I assure that, I would pass 5 out of my 8 courses, that will not guarantee my stay in the university. (Rule to keep in mind: 9 units failed = goodbye UST.) As I enter the room 221 of the Education Bldg. I saw two of my classmates, Aple and Cindy holding their clearance. The next thing is…

Cindy: Shit! Akala ko babagsak talaga ko sa French! Buti na lang talaga!

Aple: Sabi ko na eh! Babawian ako ni Bonjour. (We use to call our French professor as Bonjour instead of Monsieur.)

Yuumi: Hala! Bagsak ka? *referring to Aple* Ako din for sure! Wag lang talaga sa Computer at Lit. *falls in line to get her clearance*

Cindy: Ano Yuumz? May bagsak ka?

Yuumi: Yuck! Bagsak din ako sa French.

Aple: Ang hirap pa naman ma-ireg.

Cindy: Buti nakalusot ako kay Bonjour! *laughs*

Yuumi: Siyempre! Crush ka ni Bonjour eh! *laughs*

          Yeah! My first ever Failed finally occurred. I am so upset. All I am asking for is a 3.00, is that too much to ask? (u_u') However, I have to admit that I always have butterflies dancing inside my tummy every clearance day for the past five semesters.

          Every first day of the class, I always say to myself that I would be better this time. But holy crap! I never put my words into action. I remain being sloppy. And now I'm at my worst! I'm ill. I'm broke. and I'm a failure. I'm taking this seriously because my mom will surely does. Waaaah! Nakakainis talaga! >.<

The Scenario: a couple in a pavement about past 9:30 in the evening.

Sassy: Wait! *running after her samurai*

Samurai: *not talking… but having a glance after another*

Sassy: Please wait… *still running*

Samurai: What do you want? I’m so tired!

Sassy: Please don’t be mad. I don’t mean it. I was just kidding.

Samurai: I’m not mad. I’m just tired! *started walking*

Sassy: *walking behind her samurai* I know you’re mad. Please don’t be…

Samurai: *discontinue walking then raised his voice* I’m not, it’s late I just wanted to go home!!!

Sassy: I know it when you’re mad. Please let’s talk first. *sweat at the corner of the eye*

Samurai: . . .

          It may seem like a scene from a typical Filipino soap opera, but believe me that scene also happen even without cameras and scripts. Corny? Yeah, I would agree. But that’s not the exact sentiment that you would feel when you are the one in that scenario. Okay, I confess it was me and my samurai. You may laugh or anything, it’s your privilege. ^^ You may also think that it was really embarrassing to do something similar to those mushy and over-sentimental telenovelas in local channels. I didn’t felt embarrassed though, because nobody did ever see it. Haha! Lucky me right?

          So why did I spilled it out? Because I felt amusement when I remember it! And I think it would be a little fun sharing it here. Besides when my samurai and I recalled that incident, we just laughed our hearts out. So, please do the same. Kaxe sobrang corny talaga nun! I didn’t state the root of the argument because I find it unnecessary and it was kind of shallow. ^^

            Hahaha! I miss this place! Where I could write everything I have in mind. For the past months I’ve been very busy with school! (nacks! Parang napaka-sipag!) Seriously, this semester is the most tiring and busiest sem. I’ve been through. I can’t even find time to update my weblog. Because by the time I finally got home after school, my body will force me to sleep. Actually I would be very lucky if I’d be home earlier than 10:00pm. And I’m the luckiest person if there will be no take-home work. O_o’

          To complete our academic requirements our class organized a convention related to Philippine Tourism in fulfillment with our course tour109. It’s a major subject that’s why we have to give everything we could just to make it BIG. After so many meetings we finally came up with a topic which almost everyone in the class voted for.

          Our convention topic is DARK TOURISM.  “Dark Tourism is tourism involving travel to sites associated with death and suffering.” In other words, tourist sites which is said to have dark past and said to have ghostly moans and apparitions which adventurous travellers will go for. For example, places like Corregidor, Baguio, Siquijor, etc. etc.

          Our class has gone through arguments and disagreements. Friendships and team work went through a serious test. But after all those hard works, we we’re able to make our convention unique and possbile. It was held last September 18, 2006 at the Grand Ballroom of Hotel Philippine Plaza.

          Well, after four months. Everything seems back to normal. Except perhaps with the new people I’ve worked with. People which I never expected to get along with and the experience and knowledge we’ve gain before, during and after our big event. It’s priceless.
