The Ocean of My Being

I am suffering from the worst blogger's blog ever! Back when I didn't have Internet connection, I wanted to write about so many things. I had so much in mind that I wanted to write about. And, now that I finally have Internet Access in my own room, I can't think of anything to write about. What an irony! I'm probably just exhausted right now. I get home really tired everyday since the new semester started. I've been trying to adjust to my new schedule. I have classes from Mondays to Saturdays (27 units)! And, I've been having a lot of headaches lately. What I need most right now is rest and that's what I'm going to do. Hay. Here are some things I've recently been busy with: -preparing my class record and teaching/instruction materials; -reading (both for academic and entertainment purposes); -watching movies; -exploring Facebook (so much fun!).

How do you comfort people who just lost their father? What do you actually say to them? That everything's going to be all right? That they have to accept it because it's the most natural thing in the world, to die? That they have to be strong for one another? Do you cry with them? Do you tell stories about the recently departed loved-one? Or is it enough to just hug them and squeeze their hands? Yesterday, I was taking my lunch when I got the news (through a text message) that Zielna 's (one of my closest friends) father met an accident. He was riding a motorcycle, and had the right of way, when suddenly a speeding Crosswind swerved and hit his motorcycle sending him flying and hitting, head-first, the Crosswind's windshield before bouncing off to the ground. He died on the spot. I was shaken by the news. It was a sad, sad, sad news. Very shocking. Marnellie , another friend of mine, and I were just talking about her friend who also met an accident a few day...

The Hoo-Haa Girls... Posing for the camera as soon as we got to our room... ...and just before sleeping! ************ At the Night Cafe... ************ I've been trying to upload pictures here for days, but it never worked until today. So, finally, the pictures are up! Weeee! :)

I love out-of-town trips. I love going to, exploring and getting to know different places (and people). Traveling would always give me a kind of high that's comparable, let's say, to a high that one gets when he joins a contest and wins it! One of my greatest dreams in life is to travel and visit every single country in the world. I want to go back-packing one day, and I'd like to start here in the Philippines . I want to set foot and see all our towns, cities and provinces here in the Philippines . Weeee! Just thinking about it excites me to no end! But, of course, before I can actually do all that, I will have to save a lot of money. So, right now, I content myself with little out-of-town trips with family or with friends. When I do get the chance to go traveling or to go on an out-of-town trip, I see to it that I have a great time. Last weekend, my friends from the Department and I (there were six of us) went on an out-of-town trip. After working our butts off...

Yay!!! Congrats to me! Finally, I have Internet connection at home! So, now, I can net-surf anytime I want (well, except when I'm at work), I can blog as regularly as I used to, I can blog-hop and read all my daily reads like I used to, I can chat with friends I haven't seen for so long, I can be more active in all my egroups, I can do research anytime and in the comfort of my own room, too. I can do a whole lot of other things! I can download ebooks, find games and puzzles for my classes any day! Life is much easier with this new connection. Also, my folks wouldn't have to worry about my spending one whole night at the Net Centers. And, the driver wouldn't need to wake up at 12 midnight just to pick me up from the Centers. Weeee! :) I'm so happy! :)
