The Happiness Project

The three dance workshop days were finally done and all of us have aching legs, abdomens and entire bodies. After these rehearsals, we will be resuming for dance and music rehearsals a month later. Ang haba ng gap. And because of that, our choreographer left us with simple daily routines to keep in shape. But I doubt whether I can keep up to that. For the past 2 days, I ate many of chocolate cookies, and ate bacon with a plentyful of rice. I even got loads of pizza after our performance in the Ateneo Law School, as part of celebrating the 40th anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law here in the Philippines.

Anyway, my body ache is slowly disappearing. And we, students, should be back on track preparing ourselves for our finals.

Meanwhile, as part of my boredom and since I was really craving to buy a book--any kind of book for this matter--I decided to buy The Happiness Project One-Sentence Journal: A Five-Year Record. After going through all the books in Fully Booked Katipunan, I finally ended up being so ecstatic to buy this cute little blue journal that I would be keeping for the next 5 years! This is where you, daily, write a single sentence. This was made because the author thought it is too daunting to write a journal entry so long every day. At least here, you can easily make a day memorable, and once you go back on a random day, this one sentence can easily bring you back the memories. And so, I bought a book today!

This morning, I should have gone to EDSA Shrine to conduct an interview there for our pre-final video for Political Science. But then, we realized we did not have a video camera available. And, so we postponed the interview to tomorrow. Anyway, I would just like to post an entry now because I really am so happy with my new one-sentence journal. Now, it keeps me excited every single day! :) To the next five years!

PS: I'm still annoyed why Ateneo blocked YouTube last night. All of the people here are getting paranoid, too. It's the only entertainment we've got.

The thicker you are, the wiser I should be.

Most appropriate title this blog had ever seen. Once again, I am writing an entry. And the more I write words in this, the wiser I should be. The more I write, the more thoughts come inside my head, the more I become mature. This is a one big step to moving on. Finally, I have moved on. I may forget the entire feeling but the memory still remains. It was a sad but deep journey I had for the past year. The URL may seem pointless, but I've learned to move in. Sad but happening. I can't do anything but my heart told me what to but move on.

The past month has been quite a journey. As I start my 22nd year of existence, baon-baon ko ang mga alaalang nabuo sa iisang buwan lamang. August 2012, I love you more than ever. Being part of my first production in UP-Diliman gave me refreshing feeling, new friends and colleagues, new experience, lessons, and the courage to move on. To realize that the best thing in life is loving and be loved in return, no matter how deep the love is--love of friend, love of lovers, love of one's self.

As I turn the next page, I may need more courage. And this courage may come either from the one year I was so sad, depressed, down or it may come from the one month I felt so fresh, so new. These banks of emotions, forever I will have.

To YOU: I never imagined I have met you. I never even imagined I will be able to work with you. I never realized how nice you are, how kind you are, how sweet you are, how friendly you are until recently. This is the best thing that ever happened to me in months, meeting you. I never imagined that you, an internet sensation, a charming actor, and everything nice, I will meet. Now, all that I need is this moment. To see you again. Even though everything is done now, all I need is a moment to see you again.

A day before yesterday, I said I LOST. I lost to my heart. I let myself be in love with you. I can't blame it. But I blame myself, for letting this happen for a one-week production. But maybe, this has purpose. This has reasons--me falling in love with you. That reason I do not know yet. But I just feel that this relationship of ours will be very different. Right now, I am dying to be always with you. It feels really strange. I am hoping for a lifetime friendship, kahit friendship lang. It feel so weird, it feels like I should be your friend for a very long time. Behind those conyo appearance and pa-charming look, I think I know that you have a pure heart. I want to know you more.

Let the pages be thicker.
Til I blog again.
