WEIRD ME

I. AM. A. WEIRDO. 

Yeahp. That's me. Well, I am proud to admit that I am weird (rather than get offended by it). I mean c'mon, who doesn't have a little weirdness in them? (Boring people! Hahaha! I kid.) Anyways, well, being weird is not really a bad thing. For me, I see weirdness as an art because not everyone can pull of the right amount of weirdness in them (others who try being weird but just can't pull it off are either outcasts or are being sent to mental institutions). Did that sound judgmental? Sorry.

Anyway, why am I posting this all of a sudden? It's simply because I'd like to share my weird side with everyone, and would also like to inform the haters (I have) that you calling me weird I take as a truthful compliment than a horrible insult that degrades me. Hahaha! I'm actually really proud to be weird or different simply because I'm confident in being myself. I'm not an overly rich person. I'm not a child prodigy. I'm not all that intelligent. I'm really just an average weirdo walking down the streets of the city wondering why I'm not affected when I get called 'weird'. Some people take that offensively. I see it otherwise. You know, being weird actually means good. It means you don't conform to society and just live your own life. It means that you have your own sense of styling yourself and standing up for yourself. And that's one of the most bravest things anyone can do. In a sea of people trying to go with the flow, I chose to stand against the current. Why? Because if I don't, well... I won't be who I am. I won't be who I'm suppose to be. So I chose to be this way. I won't allow anyone to change me anymore, even if it's for the better. Accept me as I am, or leave me alone. I'm, good, really. God loves me and I love Him too, and we're good. No need to impress other people now.

Still find me weird? It's fine. I'm weird and I'm proud. :)

Artsy Fartsy! :D

This is probably one of my most awesome masterpieces ever... THE BLENDOKU SHAPES :)

I did that for 3 days during the Papal Visit to the Philippines, and I don't even know why. I guess I got quite bored then, and it was break time (we had a break from school for a few days), so I decided to use that time to create this. I honestly had limited coloring materials then (only a few colored pens and colored pencils). But now, I have a lot. I've saved up money (and sometimes asked Dad) so I can buy those coloring materials. I drew shapes first with a marker, then colored the edges of the shapes until I was able to fill them up.

So what now would be a befitting description/interpretation for this work of art? Well...

"The colors represent every person, their personalities and moods. They're all different. We are all different. But those differences illuminate us, make us shine, help us. And when we come in together, we're like a beautiful rainbow... An exciting mix of colors pleasing to the Eyes of the One True Maestro."

I'm planning to make another one, so... You'll just have to wait. I'll do it by the summer. Hahahaha! :)

"But For Me, MAROON & WHITE..." (How PWU Saved My [College] Life)

"Konting push nalang, gagradweyt na ako!" 

One of the many common posts I see today in my Facebook News Feed is this line. Ahh yes... Who doesn't want to feel that graduating vibe? The grad pictorials, the toga rentals, the venue, the grad gifts the pester market demands from their parents... All of them lead to one unforgettable event in everyone's lives: GRADUATION. PAGTATAPOS. Shocking isn't it? Nostalgic, even. You remember the first time you ever experienced school? And now, all of a sudden, you're in your last level, the TERTIARY level, just before you enter the "real" world. I remember before this trimester started (which will be my last trimester), I was walking down the lobby and told myself "Ang bilis ng panahon. Kapapasok ko lang dito ah? Ngayon magtatapos na ako." I also remember how grateful I am PWU saved me from a rather uninteresting and dull college life. Here are some of those times when it really did save me from feeling bored and bemused:

1) PWU WAS THE PLACE WHERE I FOUND MY SWEET ESCAPE FROM THE SORT OF DULL LIFE I EXPERIENCED IN MY PREVIOUS SCHOOL.

* OK, lemme clear things out first: I KINDA DID ENJOY MY PREVIOUS SCHOOL SOMEHOW. But it was honestly dull and stuff. Or maybe I'm biased because I haven't experienced much there. But to be honest, I was able to visualize that early how my life would be in my previous school: it would be less exciting, and I wouldn't feel the warmth of the school. I'd be an outcast, and just go through it. Here in PWU, I've breathed the freshest of airs when it comes to college life. It was fun, exciting, and the energy of the students during activities never runs out. Truly a "sweet escape" for me.

2) PWU MADE ME REALIZE THE REAL IMPORTANCE OF MY DREAMS.

* Ever since 3rd year high school, I've dreamed of becoming a journalist, not because I wanted to be seen talking on TV or something, but the feeling of being in media gives me this euphoric, proud feeling that you would always be in the know and less ignorant of things. Upon entering the school, I was given the widest of views when it comes to the field I've chosen to enter in. It made me realize that my dreams would be much, much better if I focused on it and gave my best. I was given a lot of opportunities to show my potentials, and I must say, I am now prepared to make them all come true.

3) PWU IS THE MOST EXCITING PLACE TO MEET AND MAKE FRIENDS.

Yeahp. I'm going to be proud in saying this, but PWU is the best place to balance school and social life. In here, you feel like you belong. I made friends easily here, and the loyalty of each other does not crumble in any way. I always get giddy when going to school, because this is where my friends are. (In fact, this is where I found my two awesome besties!) Truly, if you feel down and have no friends, hop on here! We'll all be your friends!

Well there you have it. They might be few, but still, they're the reasons why I will always have PWU in my heart. This is the place where I found myself, where I was able to realize and learn a lot of things about life, and where I was opened up to limitless possibilities for my future. *sigh* Only a month to go and I'll be leaving my dear Alma Mater. But my promise would always, always be fulfilled: all colors will be brighter than any, BUT FOR ME, MAROON AND WHITE.
