think rainbows

Maybe God gave me you,

so that I'd have a reason to smile when I'm feeling blue.

But then you're not really mine, still I know it will be fine.

For as long as you're there, suddenly, my days could get better.

I may not always tell you this
But now I will try and do so
To give appreciation to what you do
And let the whole world know too.

To you who befriended me,
To you who shared stories with me,
To you who let me know you,
To you, thank you.

To you who accompanied me,
To you who easily say yes,
To you who make yourself available to me,
I appreciate you, thank you.

To you who kept me out of boredom,
To you who laughed with me,
To you who patiently listened to me,
For everything, thank you.

To you who I sometimes take for granted,
To you who I may have ignored before,
To you who I may have hurt directly or indirectly,
Forgive me, I'm sorry.

To you who may be surprised with what's to come in the next lines,
To you who made me smile with or without knowing it,
To you who's made a lover out of me again,
I shyly admit to you, I admire you.

There goes my message to you as honest as it can be
Forgive me if you were surprised, you're not the only one, believe me
I hope you appreciate what I've done and that between us, friends always it will be.
Once again, to you, thank you. (A simple you're welcome would do.)

Found myself
in a not-so-unfamiliar place.
Been here before
but with a different face.

Will embark on a new journey
to an undefined territory.
Armed with nothing but myself
and the experiences from the memory shelf.

A bit doubtful actually
still isn't 100% clear.
The mind wonders if it's real,
but the heart says "aren't you feeling surreal?"

Wanted to be sure
so I had to ask for a bit of help;
some felt like they were signs
But all were pointing to one clear direction: go for it.

So here I am, braving the storm
unsure of what's ahead.
I could be hurt, but for all I care.
We've only got one life to live.
So just go with the flow, and let the rest follow.

If this is really for me, then I'll take it openly,
whatever the reason may be.
I'll be forever thankful for success, and won't give up with defeat
for I know in every journey, He is with me.

It's funny how we become friends with some people.

Some you meet during the first day of school. You'd think at first you wouldn't get along well, but in the end it turns out they become one of your closest friends.

Some you meet along the way, from different places, different groups. They become acquaintances, people whom you greet along the corridors, and then you become close to some, but lose the others as well, and you start to hang out.

Some you meet through a common friend. You click with some, but not that much with others. You might even become closer than your friendship with the common friend.

Some you meet through technology. Either you both have interest in it, or it was thru the use of technology that you two were able to meet. And surprisingly, some stay as your friend, while the others remain a stranger.

Others you'll meet at that one place, won't be friends at first, then you meet again at another place, and then get to know each other more, or talk with each other more, and you realize that you get along well with each other. They now become one of your close friends.

Sometimes it really doesn't matter how long you've known a person for you to become the closest of friends. It's also about how you treat each other, how long you're willing to stay as friends and who's going to be there when the going gets tough. :)

You may start losing some but as you go on meeting different kinds of people and going to different places, time and time again, you can make new friends and create a different story with each one.

And who knows, among one of those friends, someone becomes more than just a friend. :)

The UAAP Men's Basketball season for UAAP Season 74 is officially over with Ateneo's win over FEU.
They have accomplished their 4-peat, and have joined UST, UE, and DLSU in the history books.

FEU, on the other hand, are bridesmaids anew, but have nothing to be ashamed of.
 They did everything they could, all the other teams did, but it was still Ateneo's time.

Congratulations to the Blue Eagles! Congratulations to Coach Norman Black!

As Kirk Long, Emman Monfort, and Bacon Austria graduate, they will always be remembered in the UAAP.
Greg Slaughter can you 'graduate' with them na rin? Seriously. LOL.

'Til next UAAP basketball season!

Pagsakay ko ng multicab kanina papuntang MOA, I overheard this conversation.

kuya 1: e yung cheerdance napanuod mo?
ate 1: oo, ang panget lang talaga nung routine nila. (ako:salinggawi kaya yun? kung oo, hindi naman kaya panget!)
kuya 1: hindi naman kaya panget, ang ganda kaya nung dulo (ako:oo nga!!)
*blah blah blah*
kuya 1: hindi lang siguro ganun kalinis yung kanila, yung sa UP ang linis e
ate 1: last year top 3 sila, ngayon bagsak e (ako:grabe ate di naman bagsak, haha)
kuya 1: 4-time (champs) pa sila noon no.
ate 1: five kaya
kuya 1: ah five ba. pero ang ganda kaya nung sa dulo nga, astig.
ate 2: 400 years pa naman ng UST ngayon no
kuya 1: hindi lang ako sanay na wala yung UST sa top 3 (ako:ako rin!!!)

Hindi na yata sakto 'yung mga sinabi nila diyan, pero parang ganyan yung flow ng conversation nila. :))

October na!
UAAP Finals mamaya, 3pm.
PBA opening bukas, 4pm.
