I bid goodbye to this blog.

So, I'm closing this blog due to some reasons I may only know. Yet, this doesn't mean I'm out of the blogging scene forever. In fact, I have opened a new tumblelog for those rambles coming out of my head. LOL. (Not to mention having my own Instagram account for 52-week challenge,hahaha.)
By the way, come find me. I'm cloudy-not-bazookas–and I hope this will be an enjoyable ride. CHEERS~ :)
P.S. This blog will still be open until further notice. Yet, this doesn't guarantee I'll be back here. HAHAHA. XD

unmaintained blog is unmaintained (and stories about school spirit).

Hello. I’ve been planning to shift blogs for such periods of time—but I just can’t leave my Google account behind, nor delete this blog. Plus, there are many memories I’ve written for the past four years—some are good, while others are bittersweet (refer to my so-called emotive posts, hahaha).
Meanwhile, I’m currently working on a little project that has something to do with school spirit. Collegiate basketball is currently in heat this season, and I’ve always been proud to say that I’m a supporter of the Growling Tigers. Being an alumna of a school that bleeds black and gold (and sometimes, shows off some black and gold stripes), I’m not afraid to cheer out loud, “GO, USTe!”
Since 2007, I’ve always been an avid supporter of their games. Win or lose, I feel proud for these guys since what really matters here is how they enjoyed the game. ‘Ika nga, “kailangan may pride at puso sa paglalaro.” Yet, the UAAP tournament isn’t just about men’s basketball; there are a lot of sporting events such as volleyball, chess, badminton, swimming, and others. For that, I can say that school spirit isn’t limited to one game alone; it should also represent the identity of the school.
Oh, well. Here’s my rendition of the UST Growling Tigers, which can be also viewed in my doodle blog by clicking the photo.
Well, this is all I can say for the moment. Have a good night, guys. :)
P.S. For those who are supporting the UST Growling Tigers men's basketball team, they have already won six out of seven games as of August 19. Their next game will be on Thursday, August 23, 4pm—and they'll be fighting against FEU Tamaraws for the second time this season.

I define uncertainty…for the nth time.

A week ago, I stumbled across an account of a long-lost friend of mine, who was once my classmate in a certain class back in my freshman year. But it seemed like this person doesn’t remember me at all…not even a bit of it, I guess.
So, it’s been less than four years since we last saw each other, and the last time we made contact via text. We used to grin like idiots when we talked of random stuff—ranging from plates to anime and whatever stuff—at Pavilion 2. We’ve rarely seen each other a few times back then (in fact, mabibilang mo sa daliri kung ilang beses siyang pumasok sa klase na ‘yun)—but this person really was one of the dudes who made my freshman life—and college life—exciting. Too bad he went somewhere else before I embarked on my journey as a sophie. OH, WELL~ :(
But then again, I was thankful to have known him for at least seven (or eight?) months. I’d been very grateful that he was one of my awesome friends back in my freshman year—and for that, college life has never been that amazing. Maybe the years have passed and people (like him) have changed, but memories of our friendship will stay forever.
The reason why I kind of felt uncertain upon sending that person a friend request—it’s the fact on whether he remembers me or not. But then again, life has to go on. And sometimes, we have to lose some in order to gain some in the process.
So, I just thought of reposting my poem I wrote back in January 2009. I know, I’ve already reposted this back in November 2009—but this time around, I hope today’s post will be the last I’ll write about him.

We’re back to where we started—
Two strangers sitting side by side on a bench
We have nothing to talk about,
Nothing to think about…
We’re just staring blankly at each other
Not knowing what we could do.

We may be friends then
Yet, you seem to forget about me—
All those laughter and tears we shared…
It just blew away like the wind.

I guess we have to start from scratch—
again.
…and after that, I’m on my way to believing. HAHAHA—I guess Hayley Williams sang the line right, years after I last made contact with him. Back then, when we were still schoolmates, Paramore’s “Decode” and “I Caught Myself” would be playing in my head, reminding me of indescribable feelings I had whenever I saw him in the campus. But should we meet again someday, I really hope he would remember me—even just as a former classmate of his. (Cue The Script’s “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” here. Na-miss ko lang kasi ang kalokohan niya—I swear!)
Anyhow, it’s raining so hard inside—and I’m feeling bored today. I just hope there are no brownouts—and pray to God that we wouldn’t be swept away by the flood (like Ondoy did a few years back). CHEERS. :)
P.S. Bumalik na naman ako sa pagiging college froshie—even though I’m part of the workforce for less than two months already. HAHAHA—but it doesn’t hurt to remember good memories sometimes, right? :P

hello, stranger.

Sorry to have known you for so long
‘Thought we could be together one day
Remembering those times I dreamt of you
A wave of emotions came rushing by
No matter how hard I try to forget
Getting over you is hard to do
Even though you’re so far, far away…

Realization of mine, I have already known:
Stranger you are—I hope you never came.

been there for over a month.

Work days were never the same due to new experiences. And, it’s been more than a month since I got employed in a printing press.
So, I’ve been very busy since day one of work, and it seemed like I’m living on a rock (despite the fast-paced lifestyle due to deadlines and stuff). Yet, I try my best to find time on the things I love the most—drawing, writing, reading books, and even visiting my orgmates back from my college. OH, WELL.
But then again, I still consider myself an inexperienced person when it comes to expertise in layout and graphic design. Yes, I know a bit about these—but there’s so much to learn. For that, I take lots of opportunities to experience things as much as I can—and that’s when I realize that the world is a really good place to live in.
Talk about random stuff. I just want to change this blog’s layout after two years (or more than that). And after that, I guess I’ll be deleting some of my past posts. I don’t know—I’ve already written too much revealing stuff here and I somehow regret about these. But at the end of the day, I guess I realized I’ve learned so much about life, love, and everything in between along the way.
Cheers, everyone. Have a good night. :)
