lucky, lucky, lucky
the past two days have been nothing but bliss for me. i was expecting hell, since the bulk of my finals week will be happening on those two days (2 orals, 3 papers) but like kylie minogue sings, i should be so lucky.
i'm especially happy about my orals for theo and philo. taking an oral exam is my waterloo. basta, it's something that i don't do well most of the time. add the fact that i tend to give answers straight out, like if i could say it in a sentence or two, i would. and that works to my disadvantage during oral exams. add that to the fact that i don't think in a very linear way so most of the time my thoughts are up in the air and i get what i can reach, like a kid jumping for goodies from a pabitin. anyhoo, i have come to a conclusion that oral exams are to some extent a matter of luck.
two reasons. for my philo orals, we were asked to pick one card and i got the king of clubs which entitled me to pick whatever thesis statement i want. so i picked the easiest one. i would have to say that my final orals in ph103 is the only orals when i could hear my voice louder than my heartbeat. eto na yung pinaka-kalmado ako and i knew what i was talking about. not the best though. so yun.
theo orals naman, i didn't really study at all. our orals was set at 830am thursday and i was supposed to study the night before but i fell asleep. i only had an hour to prepare for it. out of the 14 thesis statements, i was only able to read and sort of study 6. the others i wasn't even able to read so i didn't know what it was about. luck of lucks, i picked thesis number 7, which only asked about the course (th151), why we're studying it, and its connection with the ecological problem. you don't even have to study for that. grabe. lucky lucky.

on a very important note, salamat gabriel marcel, father ferriols, at sir lagliva for teaching me to hope. as in hope ni gabriel marcel, as in hope na umaasa lang talaga.

snippets from the evening:
~raxee and i eating dinner in ministop. tipid!
~galing ng riobossa, super! we couldn't stop raving about them.
~eira and the fashun show. naks.
~had henna done on my back, nilibre kasi ako ni pao ng half.
~galing ng la cucarasta. i was outside talking with the bluerep people when eely told me to get in, hottie daw yung vocalist ng la cucarasta. so we went in. such gwaponess nga when he's singing.
funny side kuento. so he was singing red wine and we were dancing to the reggae beats. i jokingly told pao to push me so i can dance with the vocalist guy, and he did! hehehe funny. so yun, i had my 5 minutes of fame (more like 30 seconds) dancing with the guy.
buti na lang di na ako mashado mahiyain sumayaw (salamat jope!).
