a BLESSED day

when i woke up, i wasn't in the mood to go to school. why? my head was aching badly, REALLY BADLY! i had to discern well whether or not to go to school. however, i said to myself that if i miss school, it would be my 3rd consecutive cut for socio and anthropology. although my teacher doesn't care about overcutting, i don't like missing her funny and interesting class. i'd rather cut theo or fil instead.

yes, i decided to go to school but still with that stressful headache. buti na lang gumana yung mefenamic acid na ininom ko. nawala siya after my socio class. kumbinsing! hehe. the rest of the day became much more fun and blessed.

socio was very interesting. my teacher has a way of narrating her lessons which will make you listen, laugh and at the same time, learn. galing di ba? sobra siyang kwela at nagiging interesting ang kanyang lesson dahil sa inputs niya. she gives the layman's explanation to the complicated terms given in the readings.

next, psych was fun. we did the 6 approaches on the 2 other psych phenomena, which were altruism and love. sobrang insightful siya at this stage pa lang. and i am really enjoying my psych class especially with my teacher, lalo na she promised a session will be focused on psychology on love, asteeg noh? tapos i enjoy her question of the day as her attendance, and today's question is on the past life. i wrote that my past life was a king. hehehe. la lang. saka i like our homework: to observe someone for 5 minutes and take notes. astig di ba? an excuse to stalk your crush. hahaha.

psych stat was also fun. we had our second worksheet and our teacher encouraged us to finish the worksheet beyond our class time. since the room was ours (take note: airconed, with computers, internet and i love the office chairs), most of us decided to finish it there. la na namang class after saka we can consult with our peers. ang saya. nakaka-oc. at least, wala nang assignment.

siyempre, the day did not just end with my subjects. the real highlight of my day happened in the evening. the BIG BLUE EAGLE CHEER RALLY and the HIMIG HESWITA CONCERT DRY RUN.

1. the cheer rally was awesome. it was definitely better than last year's. last year was sobrang BITIN. this year, aside from introducing the teams one by one (not just through a spotlight) and involving everyone in cheering, meron pang thrilla in loyola exhibition game between the current blue eagles (fonacier, tenorio, bugia, intal, etc) and the blue eagle legends (wes gonzales, olsen racela, lastimosa, quimpo, sison, etc). but more than any allstar game na palakihan lang ng score at pagandahan ng tira, this game was really different. it was a battle as if our blue eagles are competing against a uaap rival. grabe. ganda ng game. it was tight, well-fought and enjoyable. ang laki lang ng problema ng fans, kung makashoot ang isang side, we clap. ganun din kung makashoot ang kabila. hehe. kakapagod magcheer. haha. tapos, perfect example yung last freethrow ni LA to ensure their victory, when he was shooting, "wala!" or "boo!" tapos when he made the shot, the same people would go "yehey!" kakatawa lang. current blue eagles won though 66-62. close di ba?

2. the dry run really ended my day on a high note, as in high note talaga. kahit na dry run lang siya, it was as if you were watching the real concert. the himig heswita with their friends sang their repertoire beautifully. sabi nga nung kasama ko when they did the sa'yo lamang, tanging yaman, panunumpa medley, napapaiyak na siya nung sabay-sabay na silang kumanta. grabe, mapapakanta ka, madadala ka, mapapaiyak ka, mapapadasal ka. lahat na lang ng mapapa- mangyayari sa'yo sa sobrang movement ng spirit. ang ganda. ang galing. after coming from a riotous exhibition game, going to gesu and listening to a solemn and beautiful repertoire are the best ways to calm the nerves and end the day.

hay... too much to share. sorry kung mahaba. di ko lang mapigil.




excerpted from I Love The Lord (kinanta kanina):
"I love the Lord, He is filled with compassion
He turned to me on the day that I called,
From the snares of the dark,
O Lord, save my life, be my strength."


one more song, Good It Is To Give Thanks
"Good it is to give thanks and to praise Thy name,
Thy love we proclaim all throughout our days.
ALLELUIA ALLELUIA ALLELUIA ALLELUIA."


thank you, Lord, for this wonderful day.
