you know how it feels when people make you look uber stupid? i just hate the feeling. well, well, stupid me got myself into this anyway.
i just had to ask or confirm something. all along i thought it was just that - a query. i guess i was wrong. there's such a thing called TRUST... u know, between friends...
fine, fine, that TRUST thing, got me into this.
i hate to admit it. but yes, i am affected. and you just had to make me realize that right in front of me. not just once, not twice, but three times. oh well...
so much for trust (and friendship?)...

of endings and beginnings
the end of summer 2006 also marked the end of the ateneo human rights center's 2006 summer internship program (SIP) and also the end of my apprenticeship at the ongkiko kalaw manhit and acorda law offices (OKMA law).
my batch (batch buyonero -- SIP '05) facilitated SIP 2006. minus some (inevitable) minor glitches along the way, i am very proud to say that we successfully pulled off facilitating this year's internship. indeed, it was another memorable summer for all of us. (not to mention the boracay RnR. haha!) after one year, we all got back together to work and have fun. (grabe, ok lang na magsiksikan sa 1 room, kahit nung BOS pa, basta lang magkakasama! haha!) we almost had a batch reunion during the bora RnR but unfortunately, love, lovely, albert, and jomai were not able to join us. as for myself, ang saya, 2 bora trips in 1 summer. haha!
<-------- @ the beach with princess, chel, lea, ann, and flory. at the very moment that this picture was taken, anna was nerd-ing away in an internet shop in boracay. (read: IN BORACAY!)
club paraw with sher, ann, and anna. hindi kami umiinom ha! wahaha! ---->
<------ ang mga batchmates kong tumador. wala atang hindi umiinom sa batch namin eh. wala nga ba? hmm... Ü

<---- sand castle in front of seawind Ü wala lang, sand castle lang. mahilig lang talaga kami magpa-picture.
umm... what else? oh yeah, batch buyonero once again got through another cultural night with nothing more than slef-confidence up their sleeves. haha! i'll upload pics as soon as i find out who has pics of our award-winning performance. hehe!
this boracay RnR wass surely memorable for our batch. what with the forever pasaway buyoneros side by side with their uber goody interns. (sobrang bait nila, as in!) thanks to all the people who came. mark & sarj (na nag-overnight lang sa boracay), jeland (even though kasalukuyang sumasakit ang ulo namin ni sarj), rob (na laging lasing at kung ano anong ginawa sa kalasingan. hehe!), meg (na halos mabali ang likod sa pagsayaw sa kalasaingan).
to our beloved interns -- batch paglaom (eyps, janice, marge, francis, kath, hope, ben, jason), thank you very much for being so nice and cooperative. we hope you had a very meaningful and enjoyable summer. congrats for successfully completing SIP 2006. good luck as you begin your journey as advocates of the ateneo human rights center!
to my batchmates, we're officially junketeers! i know that everything doesn't end here. i'm just so thankful to have been able to serve a great team. eto lang... we truly make things happen! nuff said Ü
last friday was the last day of my apprenticeship in OKMA law. as i mentioned in a previous post, the most enjoyable part of my more than a month apprenticeship was the people i met there. everyone was so nice to us and we instantly hit it off with the people there, particularly the associates (a.k.a. the OKMA sorrority). pics after the last day...
<--- with Atty. Mario Ongkiko. (photo ops na!)
OKMA lawyers and apprentices @ chili's greenbelt ------>
<--- @ jill's (the fort)

i'm very thankful to these people for making our stay in the firm very fruitful and memorable. and while our summer apprenticeship had ended, the friendship and fun times will surely be treasured. (naks drama!) Ü

the dark evil side
i'm not in the mood to post something decent tonight yet i feel the need to. i need to get my mind off things. one of the rare times that i would want to turn back the hands of time or i wish that there is such a thing as CTRL + Z in life. i normally don't regret things i do in my life. but this time around, i have to regret this. lessons learned are given. i just feel stupid to have to learn them the hard way. i just wish that THEY are more stupid than me.
i never felt so much hate for people the way i do now. i can't even shed tears. i don't know why. i am normally forgiving and would simply say that i would just pray for their souls. no, it's different this time. this time, i wish them all the bad luck and the most difficult hardships that they could ever encounter in their lives. i wish them and everyone around them sufferings that would teach the never to mess up with me. oh yes, i'll pray for them. i'll pray that they suffer their entire lives and die a slow death.
they should fret, i'm good at cursing... trust me, THIS would happen.
i don't know why i'm saying this. at this point, i just know that i want all the hatred and pain out of my system. i hope that when i sleep and wake up everything would be okay already. i got into this, i should learn to get out on my own. but i want this part of my life to end, i want to start over. (but the 2nd paragraph above, i really mean and want to happen. and i SWEAR that would happen!)
this is not me. enough of this. i don't want anymore of this.
