MY BOAT.

The 24th. You know time really flies when you check the date and realized "DANG, THAT WAS A YEAR AGO." To think about it, a year is quite a long time. Many things happened through out that time. It's just crazy that a year ago, from this day, things began. Some I never thought would happen & took me by surprise. Something that truly made me happy & felt like I was worth something again. My summer began. "Summer lovin' had me a blast, summer lovin' happened so fast". I would have gone with those words because they are true. But I guess nothing lasts forever and that thing did not last. No regrets and it was an experience I loved. It's crazy how time flies & you look back on the days where you say "dang, where did that go?"

Today was just a very inspirational day. FilGrad would probably be one of the most inspirational & moving events I have ever been too, and would probably my goal to go to yearly. Not to mention that I succeeded my first event as a Community coordinator. First of all though, thanks for each and everyone who helped out. This wouldnt have been possible without your help. I appreciate everyone's hardwork, forreal! :) Ya'll were great & thank you thank you thank you! :) But really, seeing those graduates walk the stage & graduate COLLEGE, not high school, just brings a differnt subject & perception. I cannot wait till the day I get my degree. The Filipino graduates makes everyone realize that everyone in the community CAN DO IT. Despite all the struggles, we still can make it through. Professor Begonia's speech was truly moving and just pushed me to my fullest. Although I have never taken his AAS355 class, just from that speech he made at the ceremony gave me a taste of it, and I already love him for his inspiring words. No joke, a day can change everything & you. I had a better sense of myself & where I want to go & how I want to deal. Thank you today for helping me♥

FIRST YEAR, WHERE'D YOU GO?!

SUMMER MODE BEGAN TODAY! Can't be more juiced. I know I still have hella shit to do during the summer to plan for my workshops, but Im feeling that's work I WANT to do and not school work yaddamean? Anways.

First year flew by! I can't even believe it, forreal. I remember last year around this time, it was prom season and that was the only thing we were all worried about. Then in a couple of weeks, it was graduation. Summer, then began school. Now im summer vacation again! First year of college just flew past me. It's crazy. It's funny how in the beginning, all of us were hella scared to get into it. howver, we got used to it. I truly enjoyed my first year. I just love always being active, regardless that Im a commuter! Daaaang. Commuting?! Ooooh, BART was my bestfriend for the most part. But anyways, I think a suggestion that I would give to incoming first years is just be active & involved because that will really start off the college life. Even if you're a commuter, forreal. Meet new people & be involved. Ive talked to some people saying that this isnt the school for them because there is not campus life since its a commuter school. BUT, I think that you just need to get out there to have a campus life! It wont come to you, you have to go to it. But I mean, there is some kind of campus life even if you arent involved. Personally, I've met some of my good friends, well most of my good friends through being involved in PACE. & I cannot be more happy! I have met some true people and I know that I will keep them for the rest of my college life :) I have made the right decision to come to SF State because I felt like I found myself in here & I have changed for the better. First year, despite the school stress&work, you were good to me and gave me some of the best experiences of my life. I can't believe I made it through! :) Proud of myself, baby. :) Agh! Thanks to all who guided me through being a "freshie". Love ya'll :)

UGH FINALSSSSSSS! Let this week go by so summer comes faster!
Laatess!

Almost done!

So I haven't blogged in a long ass time because I've been busy with PCN, school work, and life in general. Sucks for the people who never understood that. But whatevers. I actually got home pretty damn early. 4:00? woah, that's the earliest I've been home in months! But anyways, despite the exhaustion, life has been pretty damn good :)

PCN, was a freakin success. 3 months of hardwork all paid off in one night! I love the Mahalaya cast! I miss being in a show and Im glad the year that I decide to resume to doing shows was a great one! Everyone is just so much fun and very talented. We had hella good times despite the late night practices and stress. I got much respect for ya'll. Through these three months, I got close to people that I know will be some of my good friends in the long run of college life. Im glad. :) Im quite happy! Also, with the fact that I will be moving to SF next semester, spending time with these amazing people will be easy, in a way, yeah? ;) MAHALAYA! MAHALAYA! "Ain't no mountain high enough..." Love it & miss it! can't wait to see everyone @ banquet this friday! we're gonnna party it up! woot!=]Swingchop! I miss this dance the most! :) *This is during the chacha part :)

With PCN done, I have to focus on finals. This week is last week of lectures and then finals week. Ugh, stressful! Wish me luck.

CORE debates was one Monday. We started at 5pm and ended at about 1:30am. Crazy huh. I dont know how I feel about it. let's just see what happens. =/

San Leandro ain't the place to be anymore, except for HOME. SF will give me more opportunities and a new life, more independence, new environment.
