First Impressions

    Many say that your first impression means everything. I have to say that in some cases, this is true. Not all first impressions last, but I think that your first impression says something about you. Some definitely stick though, I have a few acquaintances that definitely left lasting first impressions. Some great, some, not so great. Here I am though, thinking again about making a good first impression. The last time I thought about this was when I was going to start classes at the College of Saint Benilde. I was really excited a few months before classes, then the night before orientation, I started getting quite scared. I was scared I might not make any friends, or I might offend someone and then everyone will hate me. It was a classic "What could go wrong?" then you think of everything that could go wrong situations. But then everything went great and I definitely made some great friends there who I love so dearly and are so close to my heart. 

    Here I am, a year and a half later in the same situation. I know it won't be the same because there are far less students in the school I'm going into tomorrow, but I can't help but feel a little bit scared. I think it's normal to be afraid because if I wasn't afraid, then I'd probably be way too confident with myself. I don't think I'd like that very much. Afraid or not, we have to go outside our comfort zones before anything great can happen. I may be scared, but I want to dive into the unknown. I mean, if I were playing everything safe I'd still be studying in CSB. I guess I've never been too good at following what people tell me I should do, because sometimes, what is safe won't always make you happy.

    To all those starting classes again tomorrow, have a great first day back! To all those starting over like me, Good Luck!

.M.

p.s. Wish me luck tomorrow!

Begin Again

I've never been one to believe in religious things, I just believe in different things. I look forward to the New Year more than Christmas because it's our chance to begin again. Although you can always choose to begin your life again an start over, I quite like that there is the chance for everyone to start over. I'm not one to make resolutions anymore because I haven't been very good at sticking to them, so I just think of what I want to achieve in the year instead. Big and small goals for the year.

A Green Christmas

I spent 3 days in beautiful, chilly Baguio. For absolutely no reason, my sister and I went there just to have a change of scenery. It was a great adventure since we walked most of the time. It's definitely different when you travel around on foot. You see things you wouldn't normally see if you were in a car. This definitely is the beginning of more random trips to really explore our country.

Change

 

It's been a while since I've posted anything here. I apologize to those who take the time to read my posts. But I'm back! I decided it's time for me to start blogging again since I'll be starting a new "adventure" soon, I want to share it with my friends and anyone else out there who wants to listen and see. I'll be leaving Taft at the end of this term in CSB, which means my college life in CSB is almost at an end.

FInally Free

So, the first term this year is finally over. Not like it'll feel any different with the next term starting the day after. Today was course card distribution and, I have to say, it's never a good day. This term was especially stressful because of the days we lost due to the suspensions. The Trimestral system is very sensitive because just a few missed classes will effect the whole term. There are so many things that my school could improve on, but i don't feel like ranting right now. I have to look at the brighter side to keep myself sane.

Color Me Pink

I'm not a HUGE fan of the color pink, but I do have a few pieces in that color.  I guess I have my "pink" moments too. Although I mostly just wore this because we had to wear something colorful to our PE class for our finals, but our awesome teacher being the great person he is, exempted us from dancing our last 2 dances. Just imagine the joy in all of our faces, weirdly enough, that's when the dancing happened.
