WE ARE OUT OF TIME, FOLKS

I succesfully enrolled in advance for 2nd Sem JOU2-1 today. Eric finished first and then he accompanied me around. I also happened to have runned into Apple at the CAD, which was some sort of a delight... because just the other day we were climbing Lourdes Grotto up in Baguio. o_O

The whole enrolling-in-advance process went as smoothly as possible. I didn't have to wait longer than ten minutes for anything. I was also lucky our adviser Mr. H. Palad was in the CAD office to hand me my Pre-Reg. form, which enabled me to enrol.

At the HF office, well, it's served as a makeshift dorm for some co-staffers and editors since the Unigames 2003 is in our campus for the past few days. I wasn't assigned to the coverage team so when I entered the place, I felt a bit alienated. The Associate Editor, Ate July, saw me for the first time in ages and I wanted to explain myself and show her I now carry renewed energy and inspiration to write. The phrase "To write is already to choose..." that is on my Black CEGP ID Strap is starting to make more sense now.

Mom had her check-up at the DLSU-HSC or UMC, since she's been coughing for days now and has been carrying symptoms of fever and cold. All around our campus, the Unigames still had its effect everywhere. And with the HF, the 3rd Broadsheet was released this past week and it is the first broadsheet that I don't have anything published in it... I failed to submit to HF Vol. 18 No. 3 and the La Salleno Vol. 11 No. 1. These two issues, were the victims of my "writer's block". It will also, hopefully, be the last two issues to not carry any articles of mine... meaning... from this point onwards... it's back to work!

The HF Midyear Seminar is the reason why I'm enrolling in advanced, since the scheduled enrolment for my class is on Wednesday morning... by that time we're already on our way to Batulao, Batangas.

Eric rode with us up to the highway and we stopped by Mercury Drug and Waltermart Manggahan in General Trias. Take note, the Wellcom in Waltermart Manggahan has a 7650 for sale... and to say, how many malls did I go to?! But even though, I wouldn't buy my new phone in a mini-mall. ^_^

At home I fixed up my 2nd Sem things like notebooks, course cards, registration forms, etc. I also organized my Academic Folder which I will be returning next week when classes begin.

Jose Angelo Garcia... or Joel... one fun HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY to you. I hope the tropa is there with you on your birthday at Eastwood Libis. I really, really want to go... but ever since they announced the HF Midyear is from October 29-31, I've had to live with the fact that I won't be able to attend that night out of partying. Joel, I know you might not be reading this, but I wish you and the whole tropa ONE FUN NIGHT on Thursday. Abbie, if you read this or something, please tell Joel in person. Thanks.

So, it's late now and I couldn't finish my documentation of the Baguio Trip. I lack time these days... so many things to do, places to go, people to see... but in another sense, it's all in what they call "time management".

I will be doing several updates and posts to all incomplete entries recently (Ara's Debut, Baguio Trip, etc.) when I return from Charles Huang Conference Center in Batangas. -out-
