I guess this tragic storm left us all different stories to tell...

I woke up last Saturday at around 10:30 AM, and I knew right away I was late for class. (Saturday classes start @ 10am and it usually takes me about an hour to reach school) And as I look outside the window I saw the water rising up the gutter. And everything seemed fast-paced. Next thing we knew we were saving appliances and furnitures from getting wet. And yes, this was the first time we ever experienced such.

I was even lucky not to be able to attend class that day. Some of my classmates got stranded and spent the night in the university. Plus, an extra set of hands would be very helpful in sparing our things.

I guess the storm really startled everyone. I received a text from a blockmate who got stranded in a bus for 24 hours (she rode the bus when going to school) with technically no food except for a cheesecake she had in her bag and a balot she was able to buy.

For some, situations were worse. You could see it in the news, in Youtube, and in photos on the internet. It breaks my heart.

But in times like this, you realized that there are still people exisisting who you can depend on. That there are people who you wouldn't expect would help you in times of need.

...and it also left us lessons and realizations.

Life's just so unpredictable and frustrating. When it seems like you have given your best, everything turns out opposite to what you've expected. Gets you depressed and all. Makes you wanna think where it's all going to. Makes you wanna convince your mind it's all worthless. But when you look at the streets, when reality starts to sink in, when you see for yourself the pain in this world, or maybe when you would just see the children on the streets, you'll see.. We all have our share of problems. No one's left behind. And it's not all frustrations. It's not all disappointments. There's good in all things.. Somehow. And goodness outcasts uncertainties. Aaand what's best is that failures make you go all out for something better.

Okay. I'm not emo. There are just times when some situations reveal contentment :D

JULY 4, 2009 (SATURDAY) - GAB 205
Was when I coded my very first program. *banana dance* It's about computing the BMI of the user. It was very fulfilling! *banana dance* Here's to several more programs to code.

I wish I could update more often. Oh well.

Right now I'm starting to get the hang of being in college. I realized I was just being too grumpy, and too depressed, and too whiny. (refer to previous post) Warren and I went home together last Tuesday. (Thanks for the treat, Warren!) And Fave, Malou, Meann, and I watched Transformers 2 last Friday. Yahoo! Makes me miss highschool.

I guess it's just right knowing what you're doing is already wrong. And what's even worse is you know you can do better and yet you chose not to. Sucks.





Second day in college.

It's so haggard commuting. Especially with this weather. Very uncomfortable. But, I'll get used to it. *sighs* I wish I could meet with my friends. Soon. *sighs*
