three cheers for sweet summer sun


i am so bored.

the very words i used to utter way back when the sun's still scorching hot.

In short when it was still summer.

It's always the same thing every summer. I get bored because of the absence of work, and then when work comes in (specifically schoolwork) then i'd say i'd rather be doing anything (which actually includes doing nothing at all), instead of this (schoolwork, i mean).

it's true. you never really get to realize how you love something (or someone, fine), once you start missing it.
just like summer.

summer 2006- i thought it was going to be the most horrible summer vacation ever. EVER.
we weren't scheduled to go out of the country, we didn't have UP music summer classes, i had review school, i had to study for upcoming entrance exams, it just seemed terribly boring. the only thing i looked forward to was the YA summer camp- which was wow, by the way, (i got really dark!) but after that, summer was back to its old boring self again.

i had no one to drive me to the mall to go grab some books so i just reread my old books, and tried to read Book 3 of Narnia, but I got bored. it was summer spent in my house. not in any beach, not in any resort, not anywhere in US or wherever. it's summer at home, where i have spent almost my whole life in.

wow. how interesting.

although now, looking back, summer 06 might just be one of my best summers so far, beating the US and Australia trip of summer 05. and i don't know why exactly. i mean, as i've explained, that summer just sounded too, well i wouldn't want to say boring since i've said that quite a number of times already so i would say uneventful. but i don't know. maybe simple things really do make me happy.

when i say simple things, i really do mean simple things like internet the WHOLE day, downloading whatever songs whose title sounded appealing to me, chatting w/ mara, mica, meggie, martin, josef, and other YA people who were my YM summer buddies, goofing around with my cousins and playing PS2 games with them (also finishing gay games such as The Chronicles of Narnia in one day non stop till our eyes turn red), swimming almost every afternoon, watching American Idol 5 and cheering for Taylor Hicks in my favorite area of the house, rereading books, eating improvised cooking of my tita and fun merienda (cheese fries, corn with butter and cheese, the works), magic sing-ing, watching Little Manhattan 2 am in the morning, grooving to made up GarageBand beats, and a whole lot more.
of course, there was this one beach outing towards the end of May, since it wouldn't really be summer without at least one beach outing, but all those little, simple things made my summer a hell of a fun time.

i remember, it was those days when High School Musical was being excessively advertised, it was crazy. All of my cousins, including my sister, were so obsessed about it even if it's not yet been aired. But no thanks to a certain software called Limewire, they were able to convince me to download the whole soundtrack. Boy it was a huge mistake since they've been dancing and singing to the songs for, i don't know, 4 solid weeks?? but quite honestly, the songs are nice, and i found myself singing to the songs of HSM too. really.

and it was those days when my itunes only played American Idol songs. Taylor Hicks, McPhee, Elliott Yamin, Paris Bennett, anything American Idol. And everyone else was so sick of it since i kept playing the songs over and over and over and over and over and... well, you get it.

and now, the next summer won't be the same anymore. i'll be taking art workshops for my talent test, extension programs in UP CofMusic, also be able to experience more travelling to entirely new places (hopefully Europe with Ces and New Zealand to visit my oh-so-missed crazy cousin Ate Meg). it's not going to be those summers wherein you just have to know what section you're going to be in or who you're with there. Not about buying new school shoes and school uniforms. It's going to be entirely different.

College is so, so close, I can almost taste it. And I would be really really excited, if i was comforted by the fact that I passed Ateneo- or UP Diliman, but no, those dreadful letters that will spell out my future will not be arriving until late February. Oh I can't wait. NOT.

Heck, life is about new experiences. I'm not scared about the thought of leaving high school and mixing with the very strange creatures who love basketball so much called boys. I'm nervous about those letters, the yet-to-be terror professors, escaping familiarity. And excited too. About everything else except the letters of course. haha. High School has been a so-so time for me. It was not at all blah, but it was not too glamorous either, since I hated Chem and Math so much. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm so anxious about leaving it.

And summer. Summer only has to live in my head for quite a while. After all, after 2 more quarters, I'll be kissing SHS buildings goodbye. Let's just wish that "my heart will surely travel home" someday, in order to give justice to our alma mater song lyrics. And to make myself look like a good, productive Christian Filipina, just like what the school envisions every single one of us to be.

Blech.

Cheers.

Devious and Twisted,

Therese

face it, sucko.

i'm the hero of fools.

all quoted.

"The sad truth is that the truth is sad."

"It's amazing how people are always willing to listen to a man in a funny costume"

"People don't always get what they deserve in this world"

"You can not be a supermodel."

"I'm beginning to think that washing my face is a complete waste of time"

"Most women would rather be Cindy Crawford than Marie Curie"

"The world is a harum scarum place."

"If a guy is witty, charming and artistic, he is probably gay."

"Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaraunt, filled with odd waiters who bring you items you never asked for and don't always like."

"In relationships, it is best to assume nothing."

"Not only am I very intelligent, but I am also very smart."

"Hey, I heard your friend died"

"Yea"

"Well, don't feel bad. He's an old guy, and that's what old guys do. They DIE."

"Certain things they should stay the way they are.You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. I know it's impossible but it's too bad anyway."

"I remember how, a couple of days ago, you and I killed a couple of hours with a computer game. Perhaps the game amused me more than it did you; I desperately needed a little respite from all my thoughts. But each time we 'died' in that game, a new screen immediately came up, and we were off again. How can we know that there isn't a 'new screen' for our souls as well? I don't think there is, I really don't. But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope."

blasto fasto. congratulations, reader, you've clicked the scroll button long enough to have reached the part that nobody dares to reach. now buzz off.
