quasi diarist

slowing down on the snapshots
Yesterday was fun despite the fact that right now, Hazel and I are currently working on two major papers: one in Production/Operations Management (by pairs) and one in Marketing Management (by a group of 7). We fetched Airah at the airport around 12-ish in the morning yesterday. After six loong months, the girl is back home! Wee!=)

So there, we went back to Hazel's house (where I've been sleeping for the past days due to these deliverables) and feasted on cookies and Yan Yan, which contrary to what were used to, had melted chocolate. Anyway, while she was giddily handing out her neatly-sorted pasalubong, we went on and on chatting away stuff that happened about her, me, Haz, and the rest of the mad world. It felt really good to talk to the woman after six months of measly email and YM. And what's more, it was really amazing that the three of us just seem to pick up where we left off.. as if one wasn't gone for half of the year.=)

We slept on Airah at around 5.30 in the morning (according to her) and she had her share of much needed sleep at around 6. We spent half of the day at the mall, breakfast at Heaven and Eggs and second stop at CBTL. It was really ironic cos Haz and I haven't been in one CBTL ever since she left. Oh well.

After which, we set her off to the bus for Baguio. And went back to Glorietta. And back to work as well. So, as much as I'd want to proofread this entry of mine, I won't.. cos it's time to get back to work -- 10% more of the term paper and more than half of the mktg plan still awaits yours truly.

P.S.
My apologies for a crappy entry. I just wanted to keep the moment.:D

fate
Rather than finish the last marketing case for this semester -- Colgate-Palmolive: Cleopatra -- or get a couple of hours sleep before my 10am final exam in Economics, I opted to sit in front of my computer and update this quasi diary (which, come to think of it, happens to live up to its name). I must admit that I get my priorities jumbled and scrambled too often for my own good. Hee hee

So what's so important to update anyway?

I just wanna share something that I've learned just recently: One vote CAN make a difference.

Since I'd rather not delve into the details, suffice to say that this year has been one of the most unforgettable elections in CE's history, and if God grants the recent clamor of the CE public, probably the best Inner Circle UPCE will ever be blessed with. *crosses fingers*

Although this is not saying that the outgoing IC fell short of anything, simply because they did not. The end of this semester marks my one year as part of CE (app process included), and my one year knowing the the organization's beautiful people. I would have to admit that I might be regretting the fact that I only joined during my junior year, the same way that Ate Mel did, come our own Tribute Night.

To begin with, I am not an org-person, I even rejected any notion of joining a sorority as soon as the invite was popped. But as everyhting does, I changed.

The recent elections showed me and hopefully the rest, that the general direction any organization was bound to take was dictated by its members, and that each and every single member indeed counted. With that, I am now ready to step up and serve my part for an organization that showed me what a family meant among people who didn't share the same set of genes.

My candidate lost. However, with the love and dedication of the newly-elected UPCE President, I would like to think that the vision was not lost altogether with the burning of the ballots. After all, CE deserves no less than the combined talents of the two of you.

All the best of luck to the incoming, and kudos for a job well done to the outgoing, Inner Circle!

mental note
It is when you are most pressured that you have the least control of the things around you, most especially yourself. And during these times, it is character and not intelligence nor diskarte that keeps you afloat. Character, which is an irony in itself since it seems too simple of a word yet it requires silence in response to the most provoking things and thoughts.

One thing I learned to day: Of all the "enemies" one can have, it is the self that should scare the most.


**You know who you are and I must say that I have never been more proud of you. You deserve all the good things coming your way.
