Seriously. It lessens the hassle and the stress, not to mention the anticipation. No more hours wasted lining up at the FC, nervously wringing hands and mumbling the rosary as you wait to get your class card.
My profs were so kind to me this past sem, I swear. I shouted with glee/disbelief when I saw the grades they gave me. Well, most of them, anyway. Still no sign of a grade in MuEd 100... aaaaa the suspense!!! GRrrrrRRRrrrr isa na lang, and then I can compute for my GWA.

Went swimming on Monday with Tata. It was GREAT to swim again! Honestly, I haven't realized I've missed the water that much. It felt so nice, to feel oh so light and cool in the water while the hot sun slowly baked me ten shades darker from above.
I want to go swimming some more but it looks like i have to find an indoor lapping pool... can no longer afford to swim in the cancerous rays of the sun.
Dang it all, I'm no longer the innocent twelve year old who could get as dark as she wanted. I'm 19 now... dalaga na... I have to lather on sunblock whenever I go out of the house and put baby powder on my face to keep the oilies at bay... all this trouble for the sake of beauty (*looks at self in mirror* WHAT BEAUTY?!?!?! hahaha)
Waaaaaa I want to swim!!! Now na now na now na.
Besides, swimming's great for singing. Dean Acoymo said he could hold his breath and swim at the bottom of the pool for one lap (25 m). I tried doing this on Monday, hehe, and came up in the middle of the 25 m lap, gasping like a drowning fish. Grrrrrrr. Oh well. Surely he didn't do it on his first try.

I haven't sung for two weeks now, since my major finals. (Singing Mahina for Ate Joan last week doesn't really count, it was only one song)
Bad bad bad. All the great singers vocalize everyday for about an hour. I still haven't the discipline to do that.
I feel guilty for wanting to have a break from it all. DARN IT! I deserve this break!!!! (Ignores the voice in my head that tells me: "But you will NOT have time for practice anymore when summer classes start...")

Watched Eric Ferrer's 1st recital the other day, he sang Schumann's Dichterliebe accompanied by Kim 'Bogz' Feliz, the composer/repetiteur. Eric did very well, but I was more impressed with Kim's piano playing. The colors, the emotion!! Sure, he made a couple of mistakes, but Ma'am Gay summed it all up when she complimented him afterwards: "Hindi na namin napapansin mga sabit mo, dahil ang gaganda ng mga linya mo. You have THE TOUCH. Keep it up! You're sure to be in great demand as a repetiteur someday."
Woohoo! Not bad for a composition major who only recently started practicing piano seriously. :)
Eric, Kim, thanks for the wonderful music. And congrats!

I hope I get allowed to watch 2 concerts/recitals this weekend, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
APPASIONATO on Saturday will feature UST's best singers and 2 piano profs. I've never heard anyone from UST before, and it's about time I find out how well the UST voice majors can sing. (Haha scope out the competition ba daw)
Siyempre, biased ako. U.P. FOREVER!! Hehe
And on Sunday, a friend will have his first recital.
