REG and DBs

today is still a manifestation of God's love. i had a long and tiring day but i still feel this joy and peace brought about by graces i know i received this day. actually, i have lots of reasons to be thankful to the Lord for this day and i'm filled with happiness and excitement. in short, GRABE! sa dalawang major stuff na ginawa ko, damang-dama ko pa rin ang buhos at basang-basa pa ako.

i had one of the best reg of my entire ateneo life. after getting the grades that i don't deserve but i still love them, i thought i would be disappointed by my reg. imagine having a number of 438! so before i went to registration, i wrote down all possible choices for the subjects we're suppose to choose for this semester: PE, Sci10 and Foreign Language.

let me begin with sci10. this is my best story during reg. when the random number reached 100+, our first choice for this subject closed immediately. apparently, many people knew about unson's easy class. siyempre, second choice na lang ang gusto namin di ba? by 200+, she, cuyegkeng, closed. so some settled for the 3 other choices that i did not want. so i prepared myself for marquez, who is one of the most difficult sci10 teachers because of his objective tests. in fairness, marami na kami na nagpaplanong kunin siya. in fact, two came out of enlistment telling us that they enlisted under marquez, one signed up for angtuaco, and the rest for guidote. however, with the goodness of the Lord, when the 360+ numbers were called, cuyegkeng opened her class and added 40 more to her previous class. thus, her class would be 80. it' s a big class but hey, i can still get her as my teacher. fortunately enough, i was able to enlist under her class -- with 20 slots left. akala ko hopeless na! but no, God's LOVE!

second, this was the funniest story of my reg. i wrote down all possible choices for my foreign language. initially, i would want to pick spanish. i took into mind all possible spanish classes. ang daming magagandang choices dahil karamihan ng teachers okay dun. maraming nagspanish din sa block ko so tempting. kaya lang, bambie wanted to pick japanese and 2 of my other blockmates picked japanese but they chose those with no teachers yet. here's the fun part. when i was about to enter enlistment, rica, my other blockmate, told me that all spanish for MWF are close. i wanted an MWF class because i wanted to get a 9-10 PE table tennis class. ayoko ngang gumising nang maaga -- tipong 7. hay. tapos, when i was enlisting, i found out that section M of japanese was open. siya ang subject na nagfifit sa sched ko (MWF, 1230-1330). last class ko siya MWF pero astig kasi by 1330, i'm off. this is the good part, yung okay na teacher ang teacher: hiroko nagai-yabut. funny cause my blockmates did not knew about hiroko nagai-yabut's section and schedule. that's why i'm able to sign up under her class. woohoo. i'm excited to speak japanese although i initially chose to pick spanish. i think this is a better choice. hehe.

lastly, of course, i was able to choose my desired PE. asteeg. table tennis at 9-10 in the morning every TTH. ayos!

last on my list is the deliberations of new members. we had to co-discern for the betterment of the applicants and the community this coming semester. i can't disclose nor divulge anything from the DBs. confidential daw. when we had the most controversial decision, i felt the movement of the spirit in our discernment. maraming isinaalang-alang at pinahalagahan kaya naging mahirap. it's weighing between two different good things and this decision will be very important. we made a very difficult yet good decision. everyone became at peace with that. grabe. what a day.

this is fun. this is one of the best.
