gimik

I was so disappointed last night. You see, my friend Emil and I have been planning to go to Malate even before the Sem Break started. We have not seen each other since the start of the classes. I was all set and excited to go when Emil said that he “cannot” go because the two of us were the only ones going. He wanted some more company.

We went to Malate this time last year. He said that he is afraid I might not enjoy again because of his being KJ. Malate is such a fun place especially during this time of the year—Halloween. Trick-or-Tricking is not really a common practice in poor countries such as ours. But Malate is different. Everyone dresses up for the occasion. You will love the drag queens parading in their “scary”, colorful costumes.

I have seen my grades. For the second straight semester, I am not on the dean’s list. And for the second straight sem, I was only .3+ short of making it. Unlike last sem when I was really disappointed, this seam I learned to accept it. I was even more thankful because I got higher grades than what I expected to get especially in subjects where I underperformed.

My grades also made me realize what I failed to recognize last sem—that I can make it to the dean’s list even if I have Varsi, and other activities on the side if I just try. I will just have to study harder next time. Give more time to studying my lessons, and less on leisure and other senseless activities.

Speaking of Varsi, we went on an outing-slash-retreat this week at Ricky Reyes’ Golden Sunset Resort in Calatagan, Batanggas.

The place sucked compared with Caylabne. The tap water tasted like salt water, so did the water from the pools. The food wasn’t that outstanding either. The rooms were not special. But who am I to complain? I did not spend a single cent to get there.

But what I really enjoyed during my stay there was, of course, the company of my Varsi friends. It has been a long time since we had that much fun together.
