What's good about summer, eh?

I told myself, I can never be caught talking with my blatant seatmates. So out of boredom from my sucky Math class, I came up with the dis and advantages of failing. Wohow.

I always thought summer at UST calls for celebration. First off, people made me believe that I’ll be surrounded by hot looking guys with average minds. Sa tagalog, mga gwapong bagsak. :)) But when I entered our school grounds, my hottie detector didn’t even make a “wang” sound. Well, except for The One. Pssh. I also had a misconception that I’ll have more savings since there are almost 30 days added on my mother’s budget. But my goodness, I never even had a taste of pleasure and happiness!! Mom only gives me money for my fare! I ended up paying for all my necessities – food, cheap thrill over the internet, suspense from L4D, and cellphone load. =| Now, I’m one step away from my average social life. =| What a perfect loser I could be.

How could I forget the main reason why I no longer want to fail.. It’s because of the intemperate amount of heat summer has to offer. I’ll most prolly die ‘cause of DIEhydration. How come the sun never gets tired? Can it just cool down even for a while?

Contrary to that, summer classes still have a good side. I know.. I myself can’t believe it either. Who would’ve have thought that I’ll find reasons to enjoy my 30-ish could-be-hell days. For three main reasons:

• I gain new friends. And I get to expose myself to better opportunities. If you get what I mean, HAHAHA. Now I have tons of friends from Engineering and I have met UST’s best fag, Alma! – The persons who knows how to take the irritation away. HAHA.
• Next is I have learned to appreciate the little things that didn’t matter to me before.. CHEAP THRILLS. =)) I no longer indulge myself with expensive food from school and I finally learned the art of saving! Every centavo counts, indeed. At least, I’d be able to buy that sexy dress from Zara. (Therese’s debut, alert!)
• Finally, the best reason to enjoy this season is by finding your true self. Yes, I was able to get to know myself deeper. What I really need, what I really feel, and what my heart truly wants. I was able to set higher standards for myself and finally came to a realization that I should never settle for less. Never knew that St. Raymund’s building could be a place for reflection, eh?

Hence, I have made a declaration that I WILL CHANGE. It’s because I want a better version of myself to spring up – if not the best. No – I neither have intentions of pleasing everyone nor changing my personality for the guy I like. I just want to do this for myself, to make me happy, even just for once. Who knows, more people might like me and finally, The One will see the beauty in me (Ay ang cheesy!).

After all, summer classes are not just about taking up (again) your academic failures. It’s about enjoying what this season has to offer and taking a leap from the crappy past to a brighter future.. School Year 2009-2010. :) It’s not just really learning the importance of every variable or every mathematical operation but also the art of looking for a better new you. 

Just enjoy – whether you’re at the beach, at theme parks, or at UST. Have a happy summer just like me! :)
