borderline between good and bad day

whoops. look who's home? i chose not to go to the youth camp (this time) because i realized that i've had 3 absences in my spanish class. changed my mind this morning because just one more absence in spanish class and i'm dead meat. plus, i badly wanted to go to the concert. there will be more youth camps so i passed on this one. my 2 bags were packed last night and now they lay untouched on the sofa in the room. ah well. i'll unpack them tomorrow. too tired to do that now.

i just came home from UST. i went to the concert afterall. man, was today such a long day. classes ended at 1pm but apple, van, mitchie, and i killed time at Rob until 5pm. Van's dormates from DLSU came, plus Ais. we were like an inter-scholastic meet! there were representatives from UPM, UST, and DLSU. it was a joke for all of us but it was fun.

all of us, except mitchie, went to the concert at UST. when we got there i had to remind the girls, "hey! blend in!" because we hated it when people stared. for a time we got lost but we tried to make our way around the campus. the College of Fine Arts and Architecture building was beautiful especially at night when the rooms are lit up. of course i saw this from the outside. the whole of UST campus was beautiful too. according to apple and van, "ano? transfer na?". the whole campus had this genuine college feeling to it. i don't know if you get me. the trees, the benches, the wide space with green grass... it was prettyful. add the fountains near the miniature park and you have one homey campus. when you're studying at UPM, you can't help but admire the vast space because at Faura we have such a tiny Oblation Garden. anyway, we hung out by the fountain for a while until we figured out where to go next.

during the concert we got squished, sweated like pigs, and had our energy and hyperness sucked out of our bodies. we were drained after people started being rowdy in the crowd. they were boys who were such rockers that they got so carried away. they pushed the crowd and at one point i got so scared of being squished to death in the dark. i literally couldn't breathe. it was so crowded. how horrible was that? to die such a death is so sad. over-reacting, yes? but if you were there you'd understand why parents get the jitters whenever their kids go to rock concerts. the bands that played were Bamboo, Chicosci, Sponge Cola, Kambyo, and Moonstar 88. i was expecting Southborder in the end but the campus has a curfew, 11pm. so Southborder wasn't there. at some point when we got fed up, my friends and i hung out at the back of the whole lawn. we sat on the cool dew dropped grass just appreciating the crowd along with the sky, which finally cleared and revealed lots of stars at the end of the night.

the whole thing was supposed to be fun but because i got so tired of standing up for hours walking here and there and for the long day... i feel like i can go to sleep and not wake up until nightime tomorrow.

apple's text just a while ago:

haloo...Ü im home na.
salamat 4 d wondrfl/tiring/bitin/bad3p s uste
night wid me.. worth it naman cos
i got to spend it wd all of u guys.. no stir. Ü
gud nyt, mwah!

as Vanessa always puts it, "ganyan talaga magaganda maraming pagsubok." take that from Van! her one-liner always cracks us up!

i agree with apple. it was worth going through all the exhaustion, the feet and leg pains, the profuse sweating, being pushed around, walking around UST trying not to look lost, and all other troubles because i got to hang out with my friends. the friends that i really love being with because they're as crazy, laugh-trip thirsty, fun-loving, spontaneous, and quirky as i am! i love my friends. i wouldn't want them to get hurt in any way and i'd do anything for them as long as i could do something. college life wouldn't be as fun without them around! now i can grow old, look back on my college years, and smile because i know i had a blast and not a day was wasted. i grew, i partied, i had fun, i studied, i learned my lessons well (both in academics and in life), and grew up. no regrets, i'd always tell myself. right now? so far so good! :)

ah... the long weekend. finally.
