overdue


hullo, world.

so the "welcoming the new year" post has long been overdue.

two weeks overdue, actually.

anyway, this is going to be really short though. i've just realized that i only have to go through 1 and a half months of high school life and it will be all over.
not that it's a bad thing.

sure i'll miss the friends, but i don't know. i must say i haven't really developed a strong liking for HS life, you know?

and anyway, i'm thrilled to enter college, now that i passed the loverly Ateneo.

never in my life did i expect my effing name on that effing list. i dreamt but never expected. it seemed too
good to be true.

that saturday, after learning about the results, i swear i've been smiling after every 5 seconds just because of the thought that i passed.

I PASSED!

still i can't believe it, and i might be overreacting or whatever, but it's just a wonderful wonderful thing to pass Ateneo.
for me, and to some other people i know, at least.

well, the thing is, i sort of asked God for a sign way before the test results were out. i was trying to ask Him what college is He planning to put me in. of course, i also didn't expect any answer for Him, for based on my past experiences, i never got any (whenever i asked). but one time, on my way to school (in the school bus, of course) i was weirdly thinking about what college is the right one for me and stuff (as this seems to be the ultimate concern of every single 4th year student alive) with closed eyes (and not because i was concentrating or anything, mind you. i was asleep- well, half asleep anyway). the moment i opened them, however, i saw an Ateneo De Manila University bus in front of our own school bus (take note: this happened right after i opened my eyes. RIGHT effing AFTER.)

so of course, my heart leaped up (right... is that from Wordsworth? or no...)- i was excited suddenly, but then it died down.
i mentally cursed myself for being expectant for even a second.
i didn't even know if i was going to pass or not (since i practically guessed all 25 numbers or numerical ability) and i dind't want to cling to that tiny tiny hope that might have been a coincidence anyway.

but God continued to show me obvious signs (at least to me) leading to Ateneo. Ateneo stickers and Ateneo shirts whenever I started to think about the where i'll be going to college and stuff. and the more i saw them, the more i tried to avoid believing in them, or hoping that i would pass or i would get in. obviously i didn't want to be failed.

i'm not sure if you should be laughing because i believe in what-might-be-coincidences, but whatever to you and what you think. i still strongly believe that God is behind all these signs.

imagine my surpreez when i saw it.

our vow to not curse for our ticket to Ateneo was soon forgotten.
i cursed a million curse words out of happiness, and i know it's a bad bad thing ( and i apologize) but i can't hide my ultimate joy.

the whole day i was smiling. as they say, no one can rain on my parade.

it truly was a sunshiny day.

i still thank the Lord for the opportunity He gave me to pass, whether it's the school for me or not.
i know that lots of people's dreams of going to Ateneo has gone down the drain that day, but equally, lots of people's dreams God smiled upon and got fulfilled too.

that includes mine.

i still love it.

thank you Lord. a million billion gazillion infinite ultimate loverly thank yous.

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.
