After hitting the gym for 7 straight days, I lost 5 pounds. I actually gained 3 pounds over the weekend because our family always ate at some random restaurant for 2 days. Uhhh. I hate it.
Anyways, yesterday was a super fun day for me. I shopped for graduation clothes and shoes at Town. My parents were extra generous and their reason was because I am already graduating. Bought 2 pairs of longsleeves, 1 pair of pants, 2 ties, and a pair of shoes. Thank you parents!
Tomorrow is my graduation for the minor. However, I am more excited with the block party tomorrow night! It's going to be overnight at Vitto's place! It's Block F1's graduation ball so everyone would be in semi-formal attire. I'm excited to see my blockmates again after some weeks now. The day after tomorrow is the yearbook release and blue roast. Not much excited though. And on Saturday is my graduation!
Fuck, I miss Ateneo! I miss school. I miss studying. I miss writing. I miss reading.
P.S. Everyone is invited to my graduation dinner on the 28th at my house in Lipa. :)

Hayley Williams, come back soon okay?
In the words of Abe Guinigundo:
First and foremost I want to thank my twin, Andre Marana, for making this night possible because of his connections. Bawi kami sayo next time, pag hindi ka na nagddrama. :D
We waited 2 years for this night to come, and it did. In a ridiculously awesome way.
To say the least, Paramore is incredible when playing live. Some people say they're even better than they are on CD, and that's rare for the many rock bands we have today. Hayley Williams is a siren/ goddess/ vocal beast. Wow.
As amazing as the concert was, what happened after would trump everything else that took place before that moment we decided to make-silip at Shang. Haha.
Pat, thanks to Hubert Uy's blackberry, checked Hayley's twitter right after the concert and found out her plans about going swimming back at the hotel. Naturally, as any other fan-girls would do (@_@), we took the table nearest the entrance to the pool. A few minutes later, sure enough, white musician-looking people and bouncers started to fill the pool area. By the looks of it, we were definitely gonna get lucky.
But of course, we had to strategize: for 10-minute intervals, two people would be on the look-out near the elevators while the other three would stay at the table. And just like clockwork, she passed right by our table, and we called her by name 'cause we're cool like that. EH TUMALIKOD. HAHAHAHA
I was stunned but good thing Angee and Vitto were able to keep the conversation alive. She had to turn us down when we asked for a pic because it would be unfair to the other fans that she turned down as well. Good thing she's a sweetheart, kundi BV na 'yon, haha.
During the concert, she mentioned her sudden craving for a McDonald's cheeseburger and so we decided to go the extra mile and get her that burger. Again, sagot nanaman ni Hubert Uy yung tab. We ended up just ordering from HEAT and we attached a note to it, to be given by the waiter.
I must say, Edsa Shang staff are awesome, haha. Props to you guys. Our waiter, "Kuya," sensing our demise, decided to just escort us so we could hand the burger to Hayley in person. Angee was the only one brave enough to get close enough to hand it over herself (plus the fact na mainit ang mata sa aming mga lalaki nung negrong bodyguard), therefore meriting herself with the night's MVP honors award.
I want to thank Angee, Chu, Pat, and Vitto for making this night legendary. Tayo na ang official number 1 Filipino fans according to our note. Haha.

Hayley Hayley Hayley
The grades I got were really unexpected. I don't know if I will be happy or sad but I got an average of 3.33, 0.02 away from being a DL. I was expecting a lower QPI but then, it kinda hurt that, although higher, my QPI was almost DL level. I actually tried to make this a DL year but it's okay. My cumulative QPI is above 3.0 so that is one goal fulfilled.
This morning, I jogged. Yes. I was supposed to hit the gym this afternoon but I went to the mall instead and did some groceries.
Tomorrow, I'll be watching the Paramore concert at SM MoA open grounds. I'm super duper excited to see hayley williams! Shet. Super dream come true! I LOVE YOU HAYLEY!
On Friday, I will be having my first official job interview at Metrobank! I hope I get accepted or something. Yeah.

Last One
I can't believe I'm down to my last academic requirement before graduation. Like, hell yeah!
I don't know how I managed to get through the past week. It was like the hell-est hell week of my graduation life. Everyday, I had at least one academic requirement. I always slept at around 3am and had around 5 hours of sleep on the average. Anyway, I'm done with all my eco subjects! Hell yeah!
I'm currently at Cafe de Lipa, trying to study for my Philo orals. I need to study hard for these three thesis statement because I need to do good in the exam. As mentioned, I failed my Philo quizzes (50% of my grade) so I need to get an A to pull up my grade to (I hope) B+.
Anyway, can I just say that I already got my first (but hopefully not the last, *still hoping*) A for my last semester. Yeah, thanks Sir Sescon! In fairness to me, I really worked hard for that A. HAHAHA.
Back to work now! After March 3, I will be officially unemployed! As an unemployed, I promise to run every morning in Granja. I really need to lose some weight. Like really.
