| CANADA AGAIN?! OH MAN! My good friend April from up north had her graduation yesterday. Despite the fact I have finals coming up and literally no free time, out of the kindess of my heart and the fact that I am a good friend I still go! I was accompanied by my friend Allen who has never been to Vancouver in his whole life. The last time he went out of the country was when he was 9! The passport he used at the border was outdated and was a classic goofy looking kid kinda pic. I guess you can say mine was too. So we go to the grad which was hella long! Darn those Canadians with useless speeches from everyone which sounds pretty much the same! Anyways, it took so long for the grads to walk across that stage that after April's name was called, some of us went out and started throwing a football around at a park. After about 30 minutes we went back in and it was still going! So to fast forward on things, we then went to Richmond Sushi and ate. OH MAN...SUSHI! It was great! But with all great things, all of it must come to an end sooner or later. Allen and I had to leave because I needed to be back at school by 5:00 (damn ROTC!). To end things on a good note, I would like to quote what April said last night "If you want to do something wrong, do it right!" | | |
| What a busy weekend! On Saturday we had our annual Sportsfest for Church. Our small basketball team consisting of only 6 players made it all the way to the semis! Too bad we fell to Surrey which ended up winning it all. They deserved it though, they really worked hard for it. I'm not hating a single bit because we were sort of the underdogs. Some thought we'd fall quickly just because we didn't have a lot of players. Although it was very tiring, we were still able to hang with the other teams. We'll be even more ready for next year! Aside from that, we are once again defending champs in males volleyball! 2 years and running. I had the chance to see a lot of my friends I hadn't seen in a while, especially my Canadian friends. I ended up going to Canada with my buddy Chad on Sunday. I hid Chad in my trunk for like almost 2 hours pretending that I came up alone. So when the time came, I revealed my surprise! I'm very very sneaky. It was good to hang out with my Canadian buddies again. I had the chance to get my mind of things and relax before I start cramming for finals. Oh man, did I eat sushi when I was up there! Good times and good memories. It's always fun strengthening the bond of friendship. | | |
| There are about 2 weeks left until school is over. Another year has practially gone by in this college life of mine. As I look back on the classes I took and the struggles I went through, it's amazing for me to compare myself now and how I was in the beginning of the year. This quarter has definitely been the best quarter I've had so far because I'm doing better in my classes and I'm receiving higher grades on papers and exams. It's the fact that I'm more confident in myself and my abilities that only now I am truly succeeding. The people I've befriended these last couple of months are truly shaping the way I live. I should find the time to thank these special individuals for the great laughs and fun times I'll always remember. There is one individual who I want to thank more than the others because of her ability to open my eyes and see the world in a new perspective. Thanking her and telling her how I feel may be a more difficult task than it seems because of certain reasons. Many people wonder if that special someone the're thinking about feels the same way they do. Many never find out the answer until it's too late. Then there are a few who suck it up, risk everything to see if it was meant to be or not. Am I afraid? Yes. Only because I don't want to risk the great friendship that has only just started to blossom. Sometimes it's just better to sit things out. Time itself has the answer to many questions people are looking for, including mine. With all these great things happening in my life, I don't want to raise my hopes up too high and find out certain things were not meant to happen. As John Quincy Adams has said "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish." | | |
| Looks like I have a busy weekend ahead of me. I've been up since 2:00 this morning working on homework, doing reading, and chatting with friends. I also had to register for my classes for this fall. It was the first time I actually got the classes I wanted during the first try. Lucky me! Tonight is CDI (Combat Dining In) and I have to wear my uniform the whole day. It's freakin getting warm outside! Man, I love those wool socks we have to wear (syke!). After that, I gotta finish my geo paper tonight. Tomorrow morning I have PT again. Tomorrow afternoon I have a Field Training Prep seminar I'm going to attend. At night I might chill with Lovely cuz on Saturday morning we're going to pick up her friends at the airport. Not to mention my aunt's wedding is that same morning! Yikes! Time management is the key. Some may ask, "Jeric, when do you sleep?" I may respond "That's a good question...." | | |
| - - - - - - - - - - - Wow! I'm finally writing in this thing! It's been like 2 months since I did anything productive to this site. The reason I haven't done anything is because my life was at an all time low with problems coming up one after the other. People usually use these things as a way to vent out their emotions, get rid of anger, or just plain use it as a public journal entry. One thing I've realized about myself and life in general over these last couple of months is that I really needed to change. Little did I know that certain things I was doing at the time, things that seemed perfectly normal, would cause so much heartache and pain. Yet, at the same time, I was experiencing a happiness I've literally never felt before. It's kinda awkward, but true. It's kinda funny when I tell myself I need to change certain things about my life. I start to, but in the end, I end up back at square one. This wasn't the case for this time. Due to a certain individual, my life has changed for the better. Although we did not look eye to eye because of misunderstandings, the time we had apart was the time I used to fix my life. I reconciled with friends I needed reconciling with; I strengthened the bond of friendship with my other friends by hanging out with them more; I improved my relationship with family; and most importantly, I improved my relationship with God. I know it was God who allowed me to experience these things, to make me a better man. Coupled with all this, getting closer to FASA and the events I went to all the more added to the happiness. FASA Conference, FASA meetings, Filipino Night, and most especially those involved became the final pieces of the puzzle. I've made so many friends that can relate to me and my life. I am truly thankful for experiencing this moment. Right now, there seems to be nothing that can make me feel sad, angry, or any of those negative emotions. I think I can finally say, just once in my life, that I have everything.
