PART 3 (College)

My college life is filled with enjoyment this year. My grades went up. I gained friends, I grew close to some. I got new contacts, in case the professor is out. I gained confidence. I can manage myself and a group. Of course, I can't do everything alone, with the help of the old and the new people in my life, I can now say that "I can survive college". College is filled with ups and downs, last year, I was down and this year I struggled and not going anywhere but up. Here are some of my college happenings.

(OJT Experience @ IBC 13 during Summer 2013)
I was so alone here though, but still I learned something.

(1st semester with classmates and friends.)
This semester was filled with ups and downs for our section but we remain intact and united still.

(Campaign Manager)
I was asked to campaign my friends for the student council elections last October. We were team yellow, and the only yellow thing that I have is that long-sleeved sheer polo, yes it's the same one from my OJT photo. It was a lot of fun and a lot of excuse letters but still I managed. And well, I was excited because it was my first time to vote, that finger is Instagram worthy. 

(1st Fun Run: Tanglaw Run @ Aseana City, Pasay)
Aseana City is near Mall of Asia. We came in late but still we had time to scout place. We even so Tado Jimenez an alumnus of our university. He's so kind and approachable. I like him though because he's smart enough that he published books and he's friends with Sir RB. 

(College Competition)
This was taken last December 11. This day was filled with support and fun times and surprisingly good memories. My friends won 3rd place for the dance competition. and I have friends also who joined for the Battle of the Bands. I was surprised by Ralph's performance though, he was incredibly good in rapping because you can understand the words. Oh well, this was also the day when Ramilo dressed like a girl but he turned out to look like a mom(Peace!). 

(Outreach Program)
This was taken at San Juan Elementary School. So cute to see kids again, dressed up for Christmas. It was fun and I enjoyed helping out, even though it's required to go.

(First to visit at my place)
So sweet of them to visit. Tinjoy, Ramilo, and Krista, I had so much fun while you were here, I know you did too because of my yearbook photos and my gown. Though it's safe, my home is far for from reality but still it's in the city. That's the reason I don't get to have visitors and I'm the one visiting myself.

(Babes)
And of course, the two people who made my college life extraordinary. Thank you so much. I want more hang outs with you babes. 

College is hard, life is hard but if you found the best people you're definitions would change and college and life would never be that hard. Thank you to everyone I met and grew close to this year. I hope to see you the next. I wish to offer more help to people. And I'd love to hang out more with the best people. Thank you so much for being a part of my college life life.

PART 3 (with high school friends)

He Wears Jeggings (PART 2)

A friend makes you do stuff. A best friend makes you do miracles. And Ramilo Jr. made me do one. 

I WENT TO DIVISORIAAAAAAAAAA! (It's a place where all things are possible and affordable). It's the cheapest place to shop for goods. He asked me to go when I just arrived and I immediately said yes, he thought I was kidding. I was a bit pissed so I said yes. To be honest, I've been there just for prom, which is twice. 

I miss shopping for affordability and boy, when I was there I thought I maybe I missed reality. How people really should shop. How people value money for quantity of items. How they keep calm because there are so many selections. And how shoppers didn't bother to look at the mirror while shopping. We didn't stay for long but it was unforgettable. It was a miracle for me to go there again, and one of my best friends made me do it. 

Christmas is about miracles and a Christmas miracle came early to me thanks to my man of honor, my partner in crime, and my best friend. 

My college life will not have any color without him. He saw in my worst and best of times and never judged my flaws. He understands. I never knew I would be this close to him. I laugh more often when I'm with him. I don't have limitations. He is one of the best gifts a girl like me would receive. A girl like who's always alone thinking of her future. He made me think about the present and I enjoy it. He told me "chill and go with the flow" and for the meantime, I stopped planning my future and start enjoying my life as it is. Thank you for everything.

Me: "Wag niyo ko iiwan pls"
Ramilo: "Oo naman"

Loveyou! Thank you! I wish you every bit of happiness in life and if you need something I'm just a text a way. I will never regret everything that I will do for you. -CrischelleA.

Girl Not Girly (PART 2)

To my friend that every time I have my YOLO on, she's the first to know. She knows me too well to give me a book for Christmas and the "NY" shirt. That's really something for me. That a friend knows me too well enough that I didn't have to list down the details of what kind of gift I want. 

The best gift is a friend who knows you to well enough that she doesn't need any details to know what you want. 

Btw, here's my reply to your card. 
I PROMISE NOTHING WILL CHANGE! I will always be here for you, to help you (just tell me please, I don't read people). 

I will be here to guide and help you with your thesis. I know, I know what I did was inappropriate but I want you to try to stand on your own, you've been on your own pace for quite some time now and I thought maybe, you want to be on your own for a while. I will help you in the best way possible, I will guide you with the best that I can give. I can manage sleepless nights now. I didn't regret what I did, please try to help yourself as well. I believe and I know you can do that thing. This is just another step for you, to earn your confidence, to stand on you own, and be on your own. I know you can do it and I'm here to help you. Prove to me, that you can do it and a venti frappe is waiting for you. (HAHAHA! my treat!) I will never underestimate your abilities because what you can do, can always top everything that I do. Never doubt yourself. 

Our friendship is most valuable in me. We've been together too much. And nothing will change. I don't want anything to change. With every obstacle that you conquer I will always be here to help you, like I said "just tell me". We'll always be buddies and again nothing will change. 

Loveyou! Thank you! I hope you understand! I wish you every happiness achievable. Good luck! And soon, you'll meet him. 

This is just a test for you. Never doubt yourself. -CrischelleA. 

Not the Regular Kind (PART 2)

I have the best. 

Christmas is about sharing. But this is not for sharing. My parents are not up for sharing. I'm not ready to share them to anyone. -CrischelleA. 

B. (PART 2)

To someone who never fail to give the gift of effort to me. To my sister from another mother. I wouldn't ask for anybody but you. 

She was the best thing that happened to me. She will always be. (Seriously, I can't think of anything to say.)

Even though we may not have the same thoughts most of the time. We agree on different terms. But we never leave each others' side.  We're never leaving each other. Because without you, my life wouldn't be possible anymore. 

You know me better than I know myself. You know my everyday life. You know my flaws andyou never judged me from it. You know my mistakes. You know my ups and downs. But still you accepted me. 

Thank you so much.

Christmas is about being thankful for the people whom you valued the most. And most thankful to have my best friend with me, every time, any time of the day. 

I wish to have more time every time we're together. I wish we could finish our bucket list in time before we graduate. So we can have another while working. 

(Seriously, I run out of words, every time it's about you). I'm so thankful and blessed that I have you in my life. I wouldn't want anything or anyone to grow old with, just you. Loveyou so much B. I'm always on your side. I'm always here for you. I'll always listen to you. You'll always be on my priority list. And HINDI NA TAYO MAG-AAWAY ULI. Iloveyou. Thank you. I'm always here for you. -CrischelleA.

Girl not girly (PART 1)

Krista Funa. My buddy since the first day of college. We were inseparable. We go to places, do stuff, work on stuff, and pig out.

Highlights:

• We cut class to eat, play, and window shop.
• McDonald's almost everyday.
• We go home together.
• She would let me ride first.
• Although it bores her she would accompany me every time I go to bookstores.
• Taco Bell. SNR. Our Friday routine.
• Texts everyday. Specially during our OJT.

But what changed. -CrischelleA.

Not The Regular Kind (PART 1)

Never realized that I would be so blessed the moment I opened my eyes. I was never the regular kind of person because I was never raised to be just regular. -CrischelleA.

A little thought.

I've been listening to stories from my friends and looking at photos from Facebook made me realize am I such a pussy? (Excuse the language.)

People are getting their 1st kiss at 16 or 17 at least. I had the chance of mine but I blew it, because I'm such a pussy to think that I can have the perfect 1st kiss at the rooftop under the stars. Is talking things slow not part of living? It's true that we only live once but can we take things slow and enjoy the good first, do priorities first, and try to live for yourself first. How about living the present first, right?

I'm so ashamed that it felt like I'm living in the 21st century. Is being patient too much to ask? I don't want anybody gone in my life, what I need is time. Time to adjust from everything. I'm not a spontaneous person. It took me a year to adjust from my college and boy, it was worth it. If I have to adjust some stuff for just one person I can make it in less than a year as long as I can have all the help that I need. I like Iggy but I don't know if he's willing to wait and I don't want to know the answer to that. I enjoy being with his company, I'm happy every time we have time and I don't want that to end I don't want anything to end, I just want to live for now.

It keeps me thinking if what I did was wrong and if  it is then that's the reason he's so cold to me. We're back to square one. But I'm not giving up, I'm not ready to give up.

I made compromises to make things work and I'm so blank to think what changed.  But whatever, I set the record to take things slow, I just I don't what he's thinking about.

I have my sleepless, smoking, and drinking sessions alone. -CrischelleA.

B. (PART 1)

Net Mamaradlo. My best friend for 7 years. Our friendship grew better the 2nd time around. No more awkward moments for each other. We can do anything for each other already.

She's the first person I share my stuffs, rants, and loves. She knows my daily life. What I'm up to, what I want to happen, what I wish I could do to make it happen, what I wish she could do to make it happen and who I want. She pretty much know everything in my life. She also knows how to make it better, that's the reason I live a better life. -CrischelleA

He wears jeggings. (PART 1)

Ramilo Prianes Jr. Is the guy/gay whom I spend most of my time with, in and out of school. We send texts before school starts then will Skype after school. We spend more time with each other and I hope that's not the reason why were still single. He's my friend, he's my best friend who would spend more time in the mirror than I do.

He is so gay, he has more lipstick than I do. He can do more girl stuffs than me. He wears wigs. And he wears jeggings (jeans+leggings). No matter what he can do, no matter what shade his lipstick is, he's my best friend I accept and love him as who he is. I trust him.

He knows how should I act, react, and talk. He could make my shits be together. And he's almost like me, we cross lines just to say the truth.  -CrischelleA
