It's A Big Deal

In high school, I studied two provinces away from home. For four years, I have to ride a bus every weekend from home to school and vice versa. For four years going back and forth, I got used on riding buses all by myself. No big deal.

Now that I'm a college student, I study in Quezon City. Just last week, my final exams week ended, thus starting my sem-break. For me to go home, I have to either fly or swim to reach Kalibo.

Last Saturday, I checked in at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport by myself. I waited at the pre-departure area by myself. I flew on a plane all by myself. I arrived at the Kalibo International Airport and got my luggage by myself. Finally, my parents fetched me from the airport. Finally, I was home.

Wow, Just Wow

I wasn't really expecting to see this figure so soon on my blog's statistics. Reaching a thousand pageviews was swell enough for me, but the extra 17 is heart warming. Okay, maybe it is not as big and awesome a number as a hundred or more over a thousand, but this blog is not as popular as many others. So a few steps from 1000 is already a big deal.

1017. I'm still awestruck.

Bitter, and at the same time, Sweet

I really really really miss writing for my blog. October is half-way through but I have not posted any update of my life. Or even a fictional story that proves my literary ability.

Alas, I have been very busy with college especially that the end is near- that is, the semester's end is near. A lot of paper works and final exams to study for made me focused more on my academics that, somehow, it made me a dull girl. This week, although my semester has not officially ended yet, others' already had and a lot of my dorm-mates and block-mates went to their homes in the provinces. And because the sense of vacation is contagious, I felt it. Unfortunately, I still have an exam tomorrow and three papers to write.

Oh the pain! Oh the cruelty! Oh the prolonging of my agony!

But, lo and behold, I still found time to change my blog layout from this:

October is...

It is really hard to say whether I like this month or not.

For one thing, most of the submission deadlines for acad work is in the coming days. I also have several long examinations this coming week. And since the semester is coming to a close, the final exams are also scheduled this month. Talk about a hellish month.

But then again...

To my favorite person in the world!
P.S. I badly need Photoshop.
