Summer Thing

Summer's definitely almost over despite the ever so persistent burning heat the sun is giving out. An elder at our church told me that this heat is three times hotter that before. I don't know when that "before" was but this definitely is way hotter than last summer.

My summer was definitely not a bore. Let's just say I had a few things to keep me perked up during the two months of bumming around. There was this annual sport's fest the Adventist Youth Federation of Oriental Mindoro organizes every March or April, then there was this TV Production Workshop last May. My aunt got married yesterday and the things to prepare for kept me busy for weeks.

I met a lot of people. Got close with a lot and too close with some to the point that my being over friendly was mistaken for something else. It was fun, though - fun to think that I still appear attractive to a lot of people (guys and girl(s) alike) even though a friend of mine from Manila cannot fully accept the fact that I am attractive. Grr... Some friend. Hahaha. Kidding.

This is definitely gonna be an emotional entry for me.

I am leaving tomorrow for Manila. Classes start on the 13th. I am now a senior and the gravity of the fact that I am getting old is rapidly sinking in. I got in touch with both my grade school and high school friends this past weeks and it surprises me to know that my closest guy friend in high school shares the same sentiments I have with regards to graduating. His mom died a couple of years ago so he is looking forward to finishing his studies to help his two other siblings. Sabi nga nya dati ang iniisip pa lang namin ay kung anong kurso ang kukunin namin sa kolehiyo, ngayon ang iniisip na namin ay kung paano kikita ng pera para maibsan ang gastos ng aming mga magulang. I personally want to earn money ASAP because I do not want to ask money from my mom anymore. I always hear her complain about how hard it is to earn money and asking for two thousand a week (minimum) is just too much for me.

I don't know what awaits me this year. I'll definitely be busier (thank God). I want to be busy so that my mind will be turned away from all the happenings of this summer that has affected me. I don't want to feel neglected and keeping myself occupied with academic and extra curricular stuff will definitely make me forget about the people who seem to have left me hanging.

Leaving has always been hard for me. I am both thrilled and sad that I once again have to leave.

I am looking forward to this semester, to this year and to next summer. I'll change. We all do. I don't know who I'll be next year. I don't know why I am so unsure with myself these days.

I won't be surprised if somebody calls me up to ask about this entry.

God bless this school year.
