Hopes and Wishes

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Sometimes, I can’t really distinguish the difference between hoping and wishing. HA. Whatever.

Here’s my wishlist for 2009.

Polo Shirts and Socks. I need ‘em badly. I checked my closet the day I left the dormitory and all I see are Engineering and UP shirts! Ha. For polo shirts, blue and green ones. For socks, black and white na matibay. My birthday’s nearing and if someone there’s planning to buy me a gift. Ito lang ang gusto ko. Haha. May nakontrata na nga ako eh. HAHA.

Target Date: January 2009

UP Siglo Items. That includes the UP Jacket (which by the way is worth Php800), a new UP lanyard (I lost the other one last Lantern Parade) and a UP 2009 Planner.

Target Date: March 2009

Domain Name. I desperately want a domain name. An inghinyero.com or rommelsherwin.com or kopee.com will do.

Target Date: Summer 2009

Laptop. I really wanna blog more, and design more layouts and make fun with Adobe Photoshop more. Plus, I need the laptop for my programming subjects and for technical papers and stuff. I also need a vault for my documents and files. SO, yea. I badly need a laptop.

Target Date: June 2009

New Cellphone.
It doesn’t have to be that grand. But I want a new one.

Target Date: September 2009

I also need a mini-bag like lalagyanan ng notebooks and ballpen and important stuffs, which I can just make bitbit anytime, anywhere. Haha. Preferrably black :-)

Now, I am hoping for…

1. Excellent grades.
2. Good health.
3. New inspiration. :-)
4. Blog more.
5. Me to be slimmer.
6. More true friends than just acquaintances.
7. Peace of mind.
8. Me to manage my time wisely.
9. Better connection with God.
10. Lessen my sins.
11. Love my family more.
12. Be a more active org person. [Woo! Go Pisme]

There. Hopefully, I’d be able to get at least a half of these I listed by next year.

Boredom and Realizations.

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Ha. I miss blogging. My blog has been my bestfriend throughout college. He never fails to listen everytime I need to rant about things. He never fails to make me feel better after every sad phase of my life. My blog knows me a lot. There are a few entries I don’t publish that only my blog knows, and he keeps everything safe and secured, private. I just realized that he helped me go through lots of things. My blog has been a witness to my frustrations, realizations and victories for the past three years. Maybe without him, I’d be uber supressed. This blog’s been up for quite a few years already, amazing. Click it here. I did some back reading and look back at some of the memories we shared together. Some entries, I can’t help but laugh, some I can’t help but cry.

Boredom.

Takipsilim.
Apparently, ABS-CBN bought the rights for a teleserye spinoff of Twilight. A lot of Pinoy fans wouldn’t want it to happen. Thus, the reason why a thread full of “ABS CBN will ruin this Twilight shiznit” welcomes me everytime I visit Multiply.

My reaction. I don’t actually care. Even if Twilight was super duper mega hyped since early this year and then to top it off, the movie. I didn’t gain interest into actually reading the book nor watching the movie. I don’t easily go with the flow eh.

Though I feel for these die-hard fans, its like GMA 7 ruining the Survivor franchise, I don’t think we could put a stop on it na. All we have to do is to accept it and hope that ABS-CBN make a splendid job of it. Spirits was actually good. *erm, I think it was good, Maja Salvador LOVE*

Pero please, stop flooding Multiply na ha!?

Celebrity Crushes. I had always been a fan of Angel Locsin. Though I think switching to ABS-CBN did her any good, I still think she’s hot. *erm, his Charley days on Click most specially*

And I was never a fan of Cristine Reyes until Eva Fonda. Gawd. I definitely missed a lot. She was a forgettable face in Starstruck 1. But I always thought she shouldn’t have been eliminated that early. I never knew SHE. COULD. BE. THIS. HOT. Haha.

A Thing For Dancers. I watched some episodes of So You Think You Can Dance in YT and I tell you that show’s full of hot dancers. I never knew I had a thing for dancers until the past month. I was like going gaga over some celebrities and friends who’re like so hot when they dance and like so meh, after dancing. Again, this might just be brought up by the Indakan fever but ’twas actually good that I now appreciate “dancing” more than ever.

I have a little crush on my two dormmates because of them being good at dancing. I love Maja Salvador even more!

Pasttime. Yes. Ako na ang aliping namamahay. I cook. I wash the dishes. I buy what’s needed. I cleaned the garage. Everything. Pero nagagawa ko pa din mag-internet and mag-text. *even if I have three ME 73 papers due on January 10 (good news: I already finished one!)*

Holiday Fever. I always love this time of the year. As many of my batchmates from highschool and elementary texts me a lot and are very much willing to meet up to roam around this boring city. But what makes my stay here special are the people I grew up with and of course my family. We do things just for the heck of it. Just for the time we can spend with each other.

But I miss my UP dormmates, my friends since Kalai and my newfound friends in Molave.
Most of all, I miss my orgmates, some UPDOSTSA members and my super love na org even if five months pa lang ako since induction PSME-UPSU (Pisme’). I miss a lot of them. The past two months, Pisme ang buhay ko. They were my friends and my family (besides SD – extended family) in UP. I never have to change to be with them. What I love about them is that they’re all genuine people. They lend their hands and ears when they know that there’s a problem. They always try to understand me. With them, I find comfort. Its just amazing how we connect much and probably, know (AS IN KNOW) each other so well in just a short span of time. I love Pisme’ ! And I miss you guys. Especially…

Realize.

I realized that its really not important if the one you love doesn’t reciprocate the feelings you have for him/her. What’s important is that you are loving the person you want to love and that love can take you a long way. You can learn a lot of things. What’s important is that you are loving because you choose to and if its what it takes, then go.

As for me, it pays out that I don’t get easily hurt. I do believe that this is an indication that I am a stronger person now. I always try to figure things out in my own way. I know now that even how many times I fall, it may not be that easy but I know I’ll get through every problem. After all, I know that if I couldn’t carry the burden anymore, I have friends who’ll always be there to back me up.

I have finally decided to just let it be. If my feelings for her expire, then good. We can be friends more than ever. But I won’t pressure myself to unlove her. I just can’t. I hope if it does fade, the sooner, the better. *something’s telling me, I’d be able to move on like after n years* I don’t want to seem like a loser again.

However, I can always pretend that I don’t have anymore feelings for her. That way I can retain the friendship. I can still love, even knowing she can’t love me the way I would have wanted her to.

Lol. Realize. If you just realize, what I just realized. We’ll be perfect for each other. We’ll never find another. Just realize, what I just realized. We’ll never have to wonder what we’ll miss out on each other now.

We’ll definitely miss a lot.

A Letter and Confusion.

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

One friend wrote me a letter. An orgmate. I’d try to tell you what it’s all about. Its something like this.

Dear Rommel,

Recently, I’m trying to convice that I don’t like this person much. But still, I end up trying. Maybe, I just can’t resist a day not seeing her. This Engineering Week can’t get any worse. She’s a born dancer. That’s why she’ll be one of our organization’s representative for Indakan ’08, which by the way, will be held tomorrow at the UP Film Institute. Please support Team PiSME.

I always attend their practice. At times, I’ll make excuses. Lousy ones. Just to be able to see her. Just to be able to be with her.

HA. I’m so sick of the feeling. I don’t even know if I stand a chance. She’s with someone.I don’t know if its really serious. When I asked her, her reactions were very unclear. Its as if she doesn’t care about her boyfriend. Its as if she didn’t miss her.

Everytime, each time I see her stealing a glance at me, I feel the chills. I caught her doing that not only a couple of times. I don’t know if I’m just assuming but she’s just so special and I can’t help it.

She always asks whenever she leaves, if I’m gonna come with her or them, or not. At times when I don’t mind her, she’s gonna ask me something. She’s very thoughtful; she asks me about how my examination turned out and the like.

I don’t wanna give meanings to whatever she’s doing since I don’t wanna break my heart. I don’t wanna lose what a great friendship we have.

And this Engineering Week is killing me; these past few days, I see her pretty often. Well, we’re classmates in most of the subjects. We frequently have study groups too. We always eat our lunch together, with our orgmates. HA. I wish I could confirm if she’s interested too.

And if she’s interested too, what shall I do? I’m so confused. And this is not only how complicated it can get. There are a lot of things that I can’t say to you. A lot of things I can’t say to her too.

I couldn’t wait for the Holiday Break to come. I seriously need one week away from her.

Lovelots,
Dumb Ass


He’s probably confused. I hope I could help him.

Another note, its quite weird that these past few days,I’ve been reading my Friendster horoscope and it seems so timely or rather, incidental that they do apply about the current happenings in my life.

And for today:
“Look at a stressful situation again — is it really that bad? Chances are it’s not.”

Maybe I’m just trying to overanalyze things.

As of now, I’m too much pre-occupied with the Engineering Week. And my first strike of hell week’s just finished with six straight exams! Whew. I know right!? HELL.

I guess I have to enjoy my last three academic days of the year and spend the last week of the year resting. Then, I’d have to embrace the year 2009 with a big bang, and hope that it’d be a better year for me.

And finally, my friend and I can figure out the answers to our questions and the solutions to our problems.

Ciao.
