i don't really pack light. i don't like forgetting things so i end up bringing the things that aren't really important. but this is just an overnight trip so i'm packing light. i wonder how the trip is going to turn out. bonding with freshies, sophies, and the seniors. this ought to be fun.

i already made apple agree to not sleep the entire friday night. it makes me really high and bangag that it's unexplainable how good it feels to watch the entire night pass by. just like old times last semestral break when i went to Cavite with apple.

i was introduced to her friends, the entire barkada. they were a big bunch! one night apple and the rest of her gang (with me, ofcourse) crashed Sherwin's house. we watched a movie then played cards with putting baby powder on the face as consequence. it was hilarious! at midnight the guys started to ask if anyone wanted to drink gin-orange juice. all of the girls (6 of us) joined. but when the hard drinks came, we all bailed and watched tv again instead. the guys continued to drink. at around 2 AM while the others settled in the living room to sleep.. Sherwin, his uncle, Raul, Ana, and I decided to go around the village. it was very cold that night and the whole village was so peaceful. while walking, we looked up to the sky and admired the vast blanket of stars that looked so near from where we stood. we went to the village's park where there were lots of trees and a few benches. we four shared ghost stories and after we heard a funny noise within the woods, we ran and laughed at the same time crazily. then Sherwin's uncle had a crazy idea to go swimming at the village's pool although it was already closed and off limits. we snuck into the pool area. while the rest of us sat on the ground beside the pool, Sherwin's uncle jumped and swam! we were so scared of being caught but it was fun. when we got back at Sherwin's house at the crack of dawn, we couldn't sleep. the rest of the people were already sleeping cozily. we stayed up talking and snickering like mad people. during breakfast i was still wide awake but very tired. when i got home that evening (all the way from Cavite) i slept like i hadn't slept for days.

good sembreak mems. i hope there will be good ones this year too! anyway...

the songs are old (think late gradeschool and highschool). but i still like them.

i've been listening to Simple Plan's Welcome to my Life over and over. i love it. people are so much alike more than they'll ever now. just when you thought you were the only person feeling that way, you realize that everyone else feels the same. that makes everything easier and the world becomes a simple place to live again. you smile and tell yourself, "hey, it isn't so bad afterall." :)

i'm downloading the original version of Circle of Life (from the soundtrack of The Lion King). i love Disney theme songs. they make me high. they're so full of life!
