No Classes Today

It's definitely a long weekend for me. We had no classes last friday because it was the foundation day. We had classes last saturday though (we have Rel Ed on saturday..and it sucks for me!). But nevertheless, classes were cancelled today due to the weather. Mr. Frank sure got really angry!!

I was sick though, stuck in bed most of the time. But I liked the rain even though it seemed like the end of the world outside (specially last night). It came with a cool breeze that made the weather comfortable. I was comfortable.

But to some, it was more than just a comfortable breeze that swept by our country. Winds of over 170 km an hour, torrential rains—a typhoon named Frank (internationally known as Fengshen) roared through the Philippines. To tell you the truth, I was kind of happy last night when the president announced that classes were suspended. Suspended classes due to typhoons and other calamities are one of my favorite news. And it's a shame, really. Yeah, I did have a wonderful time today. I had enough time to finish my homeworks and I had fun at my movie marathon this afternoon. I felt really good while I snuggled in my cozy bed this morning because it was cold. I was really contented even though it was raining cats and dogs outside.

But then again, that was selfish. I am selfish. I only cared about myself. What about everyone else? I didn't even realize that while I was enjoying myself at home, some people in other places are suffering. Just like them:

If I said earlier that I had a great weekend..I was wrong.

How about you, how was your weekend?

certified K.O.L.E.H.I.Y.A.L.A.

Today is the second day of classes. I just got home actually..We're supposed to be dismissed at 5. Anyway, my first day in college was...well..it was all kind of a blur now actually. It all happened so fast! The only thing I remember is how nervous I got during GenPsych (or is it GenBiol??). The professor really sent shivers down my spine when she started scolding (and humiliating) a student (a newbie) in front of the whole class because she forgot to bring her assessment form..(oh, for God's sake, she's just a freshman! How was she to know what to bring on her first day at a new school?). Well, all I can say is that if I were that girl, I would've bursted into tears at that very moment. At least now I already know how to approach my new "terror professor ."

College is so much different than high school. Back high school, I don't have to worry about my transportaition. I have a service van who picks us up everyday..but now, I have to ride a bus or a jeepney! It seems that everybody is on their own, including me (I guess). There are a lot of new faces, although there are some familiar ones. I remember being so hesitant to talk to my new block mates. Some of them seem to know one another already (probably bec. they all graduated from the same school). But at least now, I've met some new friends...well, they're not exactly "new" because I already knew them before. My schedule is also weird. It's not like my previous schedules where you go to school 5 days a week , start your class at 7:40am and be dismissed at 4pm. We now have Saturday classes which means that my only day for rest is Sunday!!! That sucks! Sometimes I wish I were 12 again....

Goodbye Freedom..(for now)..COLLEGE, here I come!

I feel lonely while writing this...I'm counting down the time that is left for me to enjoy freedom. As of now, I only have 17hours and 9 minutes left till classes start again... I have to say goodbye to my carefree days and say hello to more projects, homeworks, lessons, and sleepless nights.

I usually get excited whenever I hear the phrase "first day of school," but not this time. I'm no longer in highschool anymore. Sometimes, the mere thought of it sends shivers down my spine. OH MY GOD, I'M IN COLLEGE NOW! Before, I consider the first day of the school year as one of my most anticipated days of the year. I usually get excited to go to school again because I get to see my friends and classmates after so long. I become anxious to know what's new about them, listen to their stories of how they've spent their summer vacations and catch up with the latest juicy gossips. But this time, I know that everything's gonna be different. My friends are no longer there and we can no longer welcome the first day of school together. We're all in different colleges now. Some of them are so far away (like the one in baguio--which, in my opinion, is insanely far away).It sucks for me because I hate changes. I'm not the type of person who welcomes a new chapter of life with open arms. I'm a slow adjuster, I must admit... Well I guess tomorrow I'll be forced to make new friends. Not that I hate having new friends..it's just that, I'm not very good at it. Well I just hope that my future college friends are the ones who'll approach me tomorrow, and not the other way around.

Ok..now I only have 16hours and 36 minutes left till my first day in college..so I guess I have to make the most out of the remaining moments of my vacation. Au revoir!

A whole new perspective

I've been wearing my glasses for quite a while now. I'm suffering from astigmatism, you know. It is an abnormality in the corneas of the eyes. It's hereditary and I inherited mine from my mom. My mom said I had to correct my myopia(near-sightedness) and do something about my astigmatism. My trip to the "eye doctor" 2 months ago turned out to be a very rich experience. Two months ago while I was being checked by my optometrist, there was a flash of light (which came from the doctor's machine thingy) that almost blinded my eyes, and all of a sudden, I remembered a scene from "Blinding."

The novel depicted the final visions of a man who was told that he was going blind the next day. On his remaining hours before darkness veiled his eyes, the man torturously wandered about the city of Sydney, the city he had known all his life, and yet saw it as if it were for the first time.

"It's funny how things seem different when you know you're never gonna see them again," he mused. The mundane details of the world had suddenly magnified in both manifestation and meaning. From water spewing forth from a fountain, to bicycles tethered from a post, and a sailboat floating in the afternoon, everyday things people often take for granted had repossessed its beauty. Colors had recalled their vibrance, like in the solitary autumn leaf on the pavement, in tomatoes peddled on a cart, and even the graffiti painted on the walls.

"Today, I did something I haven't done in my entire life, " the man said. "I paid attention."

Thankfully, the moment's reflection was not prompted by my own loss of eyesight. It was the reverse in fact, yet the sublime insight of the film remained: "When you really pay attention, you shake the world up like a snow globe and true beauty comes true."

After having the vision of a cave-dwelling bat all my life, I had finally gained a better eyesight thanks to my glasses. The best part of wearing glasses again (I once wore glasses when I was 13, but I lost them and it took me three years later to get a new one) is waking up the next day and wearing them. It was a different world. No longer a vague miasma of floating shapes. For the first time in my life, just like in the book, I paid attention.

I stared at everything, and started to notice things that had always been there but I had only seen for the first time. The overlapping colors on the spines on my books, the countless shades of green on the tree leaves on my window...even the sunlight seemed to have taken on a different glow that morning. It was my shaken-up snow globe of a world. Did everybody else see the world like this? Truly, waking up to details had become a vanishing art to those blessed at birth with perfect vision.

As for me, I could only be too happy to begin mastering this art of seeing again. Maybe one day, I can have a LASIK treatment to correct my eye abnormalities and to bring back my 20/20 vision, but right now, I guess I just have to stick to my glasses. . I must admit, they can be a pain in the ass sometimes, specially when I keep on forgetting where I placed them. But I'm lovin' it! Besides, I have a lot of saving to do considering that LASIK treatment costs a fortune. Well, that's it for now. ^_^
