Home.Cereals.Family.SUMMER VACATION

This is a more eloquent version of one of my bulletins. To give you some background, currently, I am academically free - NO MORE EXAMS, PAPERS, REQUIREMENTS. This is the end of the second semester of my freshman year. Hold on for a sec! A year has passed?? Is this for real? It seems like it was just yesterday that I walked down the aisle of South Cotabato Gym and Cultural Center. But, anyway, moving on…

Like yeah!

It’s cool because tomorrow I’ll be home. Despite the briefness, of this respite, i am still VERY happy. A respite (no matter how short) is still better than no respite at all… ayt? ^_^

…….
As you may very well know by now, I am fond of making lists. If you happen to see my planner, you will not doubt this claim of mine.

…….

Things to do when I’m home:

1. Gather as MANY - cereals, fruits, chocolate-laden stuffs , nuts, milk, ice and syrup - as possible
2. Make my own cerealicious! (jumango, the k after tomorrow, oreo and juliet, etc, etc)

=>In case you’re wondering what #1 is for, #2 is the answer. See, for months now, I have been craving for cerealicous bowls! However, I refrained from indulging myself because it is expensive and is WAAAYYY cheaper when made at home. I definitely need to go home. And no. Before you assume anything, cerealicious is not the only reason that I want to go home (although a good portion of it is). ^_^

3. vaccine update

=> A requirement for the duties next sem. Be ready my arm!

4. physical exam (must remember!)

=> I am not a fun of queues. In fact I detest it. Which is why upon seeing lines of people waiting for the UP-PGH health service’s physical exam, I took it upon myself to seek a way out. A sheet of paper. A sign from your physician. There, MY way out.

5. SLEEEEEPPPP (finally!)

=> Not that I’m deprived or anything. On the contrary, I sleep. Always. (You may ask my blockmates how frequent I sleep in lectures and breaks). But sleeping this vacation is a different kind of sleep. I can’t entirely explain what it is. All I can say is that, the kind of sleep that I’m looking forward to is more serene than the dozing that I’ve been doing for the past sem. ^_^

6. TRAVEELLL (no traffic! whew!)

=> I love traveling — just not with the blaring horns, humidity, poisonous smoke and turtle-paced traffic of the city. And what better way to experience this than our 180km/hr speed-limit-highways in region XII? ^_^

7. Take pictures (of stuffs) => The usual, if you must know.
8. Watch TV to my heart’s content (remote’s mine, you hear me? mine!)

=> Did you hear that dad? ^_^

9. have fun with my family (you bet!)

=>I don’t need to elaborate. After months of being away, my mother’s nagging every morning now seems like a very good idea. Sleeping early and waking early also seems to be more appealing because I get to see members of the family doing their chore. I also miss our three-hour breakfast sessions.

10. PRAYER and QUIET TIME W/ GOD (come on!)

=> The one thing that I have been yearning for for a long time! Now I can read His word, talk to Him more and get to experience Him in a deeper way! I’m excited! ^_^

…….

people to see:

1. AD

=>I HIGHLY doubt this. If I ever get to see him, then i must say, it is not luck. It is God’s will. He is God’s will. Or is he really Lord? ^_^

2. newlileo 07-08 (it’s been what? a year?)

=> I haven’t been to our gatherings simply because we always have a conflict of schedules. I will, however, find a way for myself to be available this time. See you soon! ^_^

3. Isaacs and friends fr. 08-09
=> I believe I must see you now because it would be more difficult in the following years. By the way, kudos to you guys,! ^_^

4. cousins

5. new members of the brood (sons and daughters of cousins)

=> It seems to me like we’ve been growing ever since the last time I’m there. I must meet these new members, or else I’ll be calling them all ‘baby’ until they’re seventy-five years old.

6. our dogs! (pluto, you better be a good mutt! or else….)

=> I know it’s supposed to be a list of ‘people to see‘ but this is my list. I want to see them though they’re dogs. So there.

7. our land caretakers (i miss their banters)

=> Aside from their lively banters, I also miss their easy camaraderie, their loyalty to my parents and their dedication to our lands. They actually inspire me. ^_^

8. my former enemies (the best way to defeat one is to befriend one!)

=> No ulterior motives here. I just really want to settle some loose ends.

9. my sisters (well,,,,)

=> Need I say more? ^_^

10. my parents (naturally,,,,)

=> I want to take care of them. I miss them too.

….

There you go! I do love making lists! ^_^

…..

It will be a long time before I can post something here again.

til then!
