well, my summer didn't really start off well. I broke up with my first boyfriend see... actually, it was the other way around. haha.
we worked it out though for about 5 hours or something. after that, he called it off again. a make-up and break-up in one day. nice huh? =P
well if you think that's the concept of this article, think again. that's just my introduction to the my summer 2008.
- my grandparents visited us here in the philippines two weeks. I had a day to shop at DV, frequent visits to the mall (with take-homes of course! =P), and an all-expenses trip to baguio (even had a few hours of independence at SM baguio, which was really cool).
- grade school reunion. it was nice to catch up with at least some of my former classmates.
- my enrollment to the Far Eastern University. kelvin & niña are, thank God, my classmates again =)
- the making of the Genies Book of Records. this was one whirlwind of a ride! too many memorable experiences to mention =)
- my super sweet sixteenth birth date (see "sweet, sweet sixteen" post for more details)
- 1st went bowling. found the beauty of it, haha.
- creekside restobar. i watched the gig of dugong bughaw and israfel with dazel, ate joy and bevz. 1st drank a beer with friends (that was 1 beer to 4 people).
- summer training of the COA's '07-'08... I was one of those with complete attendance throughout the 5-day training. fun! the 1st day of training was actually the 1st anniversary of the offijers. also, a reunion for us bhouraoghts. my barkada and i ate lunch together, like we used to back in high school, and talked (mostly about a dilemma that dazel was facing). this time, it was almost unlimited! haha.
- sleepover '08 at my house with jhelaw, dazel, ian, dessa, mariel, louie v and memong =) weeee!
- TOEFL (test on english as foreign language). stressful. but an experience nonetheless. learned a lot in the case of facts.
- last week of my summer vacation. monday-movie & ours of chatting with friends. tuesday-bonding with my grandma (we shopped and watched a movie). wednesday-formation of my first band (named grinxia), bowling out with buds and spin the bottle at cesdel's house (which eventually lead to just sharing thoughts and problems). thursday-tripping at SMmarilao with girl friends (we kind of just tried on clothes but didn't buy 'em. haha) and bought a gift for ma'am soquila. friday-genies 1st anniversary, hanged out at SM marilao for a while, then went to dazel's house and again, talked, laughed, and had a good time =). being busy is good! haha.
well, those are the specific details to my summer. but the highlights of the summer as a whole? read on.
- i made new friends. heaps! =) ... from the COA's, to fellow tamaraws.
- i learned that thinking positively goes far... friends make it easier along the way: especially with my friends. they're the best.
- also, i found out who my real friends were, those that were there during the good times, and the bad times.
- had a great time. it was amazing... who knew that so much could happen in two months? =)
call me plastic, unrealistic, in denial.
i say whatever.
this is the truth and if you're not happy that i got my happy ending despite my not-so-happy beginning, then bye bye. don't need you in my life.
my summer '08 was fun, fun, fun.
a broken heart always means a future fix-up. my heart is fixing just fine.
as it turns out, happy ever after for this princess isn't with prince charming...
it's with her wonderful friends ^_^
