Defensive

Wednesday is our judgement day. Our MRR defense. Will we get a clean pass? Probably not. But I hope we end this agony soon coz I'm on vacation mode already.

Not in a hurry to get a job either. I just want to take a rest from all this stress!

I'm mentally and emotionally drained.

I need a good shopping spree, a week in a beach, a food binge, and a really, really good hug!

Watching from the Sidelines

Now that I have a little bit more time in my hands, I clicked through the blogs linked to mine. Just wondering what's new... thinking, I'll be reduced to being a spectator in their lives. Nobody's fault. No one to blame. People go on their separate ways because they need to find themselves on their own.

I won't be in their weddings, christenings, birthday parties, or simple bonding sessions because I have opted to give up and let go.

Farewell Colayco!

Last image of Enta Room

Today marks the last day of Colayco. The memories of the next batches of Ateneans will not include Colayco. As it is, there's so many changes in Ateneo already. Tearing down Colayco will definitely obliterate the last few memories I have of my alma mater.

1. I remember Mark, Brian, and I... plus my best friend Elaine who rides with me to school every day, would open Enta room early in the morning because we had to drive our high school brothers to school. This means either breakfast in Jollibee or caf.

2. I remember sleeping on the bench in the Enta room. Looks impossible but actually not.

3. I remember trying to help fill in the septic tank outside the Enta room with cigarette butts. Yes, I was a smoker then.

5. I remember the Enta auditions at the Colayco hall. Jog freeze?! "I Love Ketchup So Much!" and "Ikaskas mo na lang sa pader!"

4. I remember it was in the Colayco sunken garden Tini ended up admitting he liked me. To which I remarked, "Eh may balak ka bang gawin sa like na yan?!" It was good while it lasted.

New friends, old friends, new loves, lost loves, and new passions... people found themselves in Colayco. This was my home for four years. I will never have the chance to bring my children to Ateneo and show them where I spent most of my happiest times in college.

Here's to you Colayco!

ALLELUIAH!!!

At 2pm today, I submitted two bound copies of our thesis. All 150++ pages of it.

But it's not over yet. There's still the revisitions my two mentors will ask us to do. And I'm sure it's going to be the financials. Hello?! This is Conci... accounting and Conci... that's an oxymoron for sure! There also the defense we have yet to schedule.

Tonight, I'll be sleeping well. No dreams about our MRR. No sleepless nights and days. Hopefully my cough and colds will go away as soon as I get enough rest.

For now, I will feel happiness and contentment.

Seth & Summer

Seth finally got Summer back. Capt. Oats and Princess Sparkle had their happy ending... for now.

Embarrassing as it may sound... the ending made me cry.

I think I need some chocolate fix right now!
