A TIME FOR EVERYTHING
Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) - Year 2 - Starting Week #11
Background Music: "You Don't Miss Your Water" by Craig David
NOTE: A Weekly post made before moving back into my Dorm in La Salle on Sunday nights.
TIME is moving fast because the Midterm Examinations are already next week. I'm really drained right now and I'm longing for a relaxing break, but it's not happening. The feeling right now is like swimming exhausted in the center of an olympic sized swimming pool.
I've noticed my drinking has been quite casual the past month (1 month, not just August). From Vodka Cruiser Melon flavor to a San Mig Light with my dad to two San Mig Lights which made me the most tipsy I've been before (stress + fatigue + puyat + 2 San Mig Light = Real Tispy) and then there goes Eastwood and then last Friday at Inazalle another San Mig Light and a Php 40.00 worth of Caramel Chill drink with a pinch of alcohol.
I still drink moderately. I've never been drunk on any of the past occasions. I don't recall ever being drunk in my entire life. Usually people get drunk after their first time drinking or if they drink suddenly after a long long period of not drinking. But since I've been drinking fairly light (and once again, casually)... I think it's like walking on water.
The world should fear the day that George Putong gets drunk.
I'm getting there.

Majority of my stress is coming from my work for the Heraldo Filipino. It was balanced with the news articles until the Decreto ones were suddenly tossed over and made me lose my balance. Throw in a bunch of apprentice watching you and you got a clash of panic and responsibility to show to the others.
Since HF has consumed majority of my non-academic time, my membership in the AB Comm Channel has also had an effect. Nothing is happening to my membership directly, but my active participation in this exclusive organization has taken some toll. I'm still doing my best to helping out, but at times, I just can't.
Tropa-wise, we still have our dinner night outs. We're never complete, there's always someone missing I think. And if we were complete, we don't sit at the same table. I started a joint blog project with the tropa, click here to see it.
I made a list of songs for two CDs Eric could have burned for me. I made it Friday afternoon and on Saturday morning he gave the two CDs to me already. I'll list the songs on one of the CDs, which happens to be the first CD in my life to contain ALL good songs that I like and had listed:
Where is the Love, American Life, Can't Hold Us Down, No Letting Go, Do I Need a Reason, Flexin, 21 Questions, Why Don't You and I, Stuck, Don't Treat Me Like a Fool, Numb, I'm a Slave 4 U, Get Busy, Crazy in Love, Rock Wit U, You Don't Miss Your Water, Intuition, Swing Swing, Senorita, and The Next Episode.
Woah! THANKS ERIC for the CD. IT'S AWESOME!! I love it. And you gave it so fast too!

This incoming week, we've set up two reunions. It wasn't my idea to call it a reunion but one of my classmates did (Wilda) so I guess I'll use that term.
REUNION #1- all of us in class that used to hang together so much will be eating together (for the first time in nearly four weeks) at Inazalle for Lunch on Tuesday. Everyone, even Eric and Kate from HF to Jezire and Company from Badge's dorm. We will all eat together just like before.
REUNION #2- Broadjourn Dormers Night Out, which has been delayed for over a month now, will continue this week on some night. I'm not sure which night, but it will continue and we will all try to be COMPLETE.

Right now I feel like I'm lacking time. Time everywhere. I learned something that has echoed in my head ever since it was recalled in a Reed103: Church lesson last week. It's that "There is a time for everything.".
There is a time for everything.
If there is...
There's a time for making articles.
There's a time to skip class for interviews.
There's a time to smile and laugh.
There's a time to walk fast and hurry.
There's a time for sleeping.
There's a time for not sleeping.
There's a time for eating out with friends.
There's a time for eating by yourself.
There's a time to cut things short!
What happened this past weekend?
- Mom tells me the Ref was on fire last week. But it still looks the same to me. Guess they repaired it fast.
- The Living Room area has this nice big space when they moved the furniture.
- The cable signal in my room and in the house is getting worse.
- I watched again and again the TATARIN performance of my class, and enjoyed the entire thing. No one choreographed it but ourselves, and I'm proud of my class!
- I listened to my two new burnt CDs all weekend.
- I surfed as much as I could, but the internet is still bad. We're using E-Volve Pacific Internet cards.
- Blackout in New York area goes away.
- Stood up throughout mass; church was overcrowded!
- Banners and Fiesta stores are starting to appear throughout town
- There's no AXN still...
- The Amazing Race 4 is coming to an next week...

And now, the four pillars:
Academics/JOU2-1. Believe it or not, but we're performing TATARIN again this Wednesday! I'm not sure if we're going to be rejudged or it's what they say it is... just a performance for all the top four winners! This week I'm going to try my best in regaining all remaining lost ground for the Midterms in all subjects.
Heraldo Filipino. Decreto and News Feature articles are the troublesome this week for me in the HF. Hopefully I see some layouting for both LS and HF broadsheet 2 this week. I'm getting closer to the Apprentice and I hope this continues.
AB Comm Channel. Shootings, tapings, and production work already. That's for those who are available though. And right now, I can't make myself available. But I'm trying.
Dormitory/Tropa. I'm now including the tropa into this fourth pillar. Basically the dorm is okay. My corner of the room is clean. My cabinet is organized. I have snacks but I lack drinks. I got all the music I need and all the pillows to comfort me on a long long day. I just wish that Kyle would go to class and Alex would finish those oragami swans he's hanging up. In the tropa, here's to more night outs. But please bear with me for Broadjourn Dormers Night Out the Reunion. Naks.

Prayer: For sleeping early throughout week...
