LOVE DIDN'T DROP A BOMB
Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) - Year 2 - Starting Week #31
Background Music: "Meglomaniac" by Incubus
NOTE: This is a weekly blog entry that is posted at the start of the week prior to moving into my dormitory.
FINALS TERM begins this week and its the concluding term of 2nd year college if you count out the mandatory summer classes starting April.
I feel like a badly damaged town after a terrible storm. I'm still recovering from my fever last week which really dampened chances of uplifting a potentially miserable academic situation. I wish I had Nikki's luck at it. I just read at her journal and she's having one of the best academic seasons yet over there in UP Diliman.
This week, specifically on Wednesday, will be the start of the Media Awareness Days. The MAD will run from February 11 to 25 and all AB Broadcast Journalism and AB Communication students (that's our department) will be very busy and active in a series of seminars, competitions, and whatever else. I'm hoping JOU2-1 can once again show visibility in these activities. I mean, we never fail to show up don't we?!
Except in last year's Fashion Xposure, which is a night of fun when blocks compete against each other in fashion-wise terms. The beauty of the AB Comm and Broadjourn girls really light up the stage. Unless of course, they're wearing some garbage plastic... haha.
Last year I competed in the Newscasting competition and bagged 3rd place against the juniors and seniors of that time. Not bad for a frosh back then right? I'm not sure if my classmates will reel me in to compete again, but if even the chance, I'll join and land our very active block section yet another victory. Hehehe.

Over this past weekend, I've managed to have two nights at the house. Saturday night and Sunday night. I'm moving in tomorrow morning. I've spent the past day and a half resting and watching television, listening to the radio, and surfing the web. The usual.
The total amount of friends I have on friendster as I last checked was 294. I'm now applying to join some of those friendship cliques of the bold and the beautiful... er handsome... hahaha. Why not?!
Speaking of how I look right now, I was in church earlier and I was dying to get a haircut. I just kept thinking about how irritated I look like.
I really, really, really hate my hair. I should be thankful I have hair, I know! But I mean, the bagsak type of hair which some say is quite nice is just something I'm totally against now.
No matter what I try to do to my hair, it comes out the same. The same dull look. I want to shorten it and bleach it blonde or something just to change it! I want to make it into a spike! An oasis! Something with volume! It's just so fucking boring!!!
So we dropped by the SM (not the mall) Barbershop near bayan after church and we tried to get it short. The barber understood what I wanted but stopped at the "safest" short haircut he could offer me which is the usual haircut I always fucking get.
I was turning into steam, but I declared right there in front of everyone including my mom that I want to see a hair specialist who can reshape this crown on my head. And with the hair specialist, I want a nutritionist! Someone to tell me what good vitamins to take.
I'm turning 19 this year and I still look like I'm a 13 or 14-year old. Fucking shit!
By my 19th birthday I hope I look much improved and more of my age. I also want to be able to drink just as hard as any of them out there. And I don't want to get addicted to smoking... in case I ever decide to smoke in the first place... something I originally said and promised not to do... but now just to light up and relieve the stress and get in the scene and remove this goody-two-shoes little boy image that people have on me.
Fuck you.
Wheeew. Just had to let some steam out. There are many things I'm tired of right now. I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of writing serious things. I want to go out there and breathe. I want to learn how to dance, and dance real good.
I want someone to be with. Someone to hold. Someone to call my girlfriend. I don't think her name is Badge anymore. I don't know her name, but I know she's out there somewhere just waiting to be found.
Valentines Day is next Saturday. I don't know what the plan is, or what my plan is. But I want to have fun... no one can stop me there.

Academics/JOU2-1. It's time to line up and get shot by the professors. Results of the Midterms roll in this week and the tone of the rest of the semester is to be set this week with the new lessons and sorts.
Heraldo Filipino. I have one remaining article for LS (the one about how Philippine Media affects Philippine Politics) and another one, really really overdue one, for HF about the students involved in that terrible accident. Meanwhile, Tom and a few editors are up in Baguio this week to represent DLSU-D's Heraldo Filipino in the CHED convention.
AB Comm Channel/ISA. No word as of now from these two minor organizations. However, my personal sentiments of leaving the Comm Channel are starting to stir in now. I know I have to leave because it's so mentally pressuring being part of the Comm Channel even if not too many things are happening... at the same time I don't want to lose being close with some AB Comm people.
Dormitory/Tropa. We all need to eat out as a group... as a tropa... because the invasion of the couples has really done something to our tropa.
