September, October Extended

There’s nothing much worth writing about here for the month of September because all we had were sad stuff that left a lot of people devastated. There were some nice stuff too but it gets lost somewhere beneath the incidents and bad news and all that. So let me just give you a backlog and make our lives easier. FYI, I’ll be mixing in some personal stuff, so please don’t be surprised if this post turns out to be a little longer than you expected.

•  I finished my internship. Thank God it’s over. Now all I have to do is work on my internship report which by the way hasn’t been going well at all. I’ve been procrastinating most of the time and I think I’ve lost three weeks worth of precious time that should’ve been used for the completion of my report but then it all flew past me without even noticing it. So now, I’m gonna have to kick myself in the head and drive myself to get serious. Like for real because I don’t have much time left before the beginning of a new semester! :S
• Ondoy and Pepeng happened. I don’t understand how most of us shrug off the idea that maybe we’ll lose this planet we’re living in if we don’t take action and care for it. Because obviously, the typhoons get stronger every year and not only that– we experience nature disasters in different locations all over the world that leave millions if not billions of people dead and infrastructures badly damaged. That’s every year but the thing is, we don’t give a damn about it if we know we’re not directly affected. 
• Amidst all the disaster, I’m proud of all Filipinos and those people from different countries who extended their help to the victims of flood. People from various sectors united to collect donations that are now being sent to the affected areas. I am proud to say that I am a Filipino and that I was also able to help in my own little way (via Enderun Community Drive and Philippine Red Cross). But that does not excuse the government and how futile they were the whole time the typhoon hit the country. WHERE ARE YOUR RUBBER BOATS MADAME PRESIDENT?! Oh yeah right, you used up the funds for your lavish trips abroad. You are unbelievable. The worst president I’ve ever known!
• My brother had an operation and they took out his gallbladder because of gallstones. I have to start living a healthy life with a new healthy diet because I don’t want to end up like him. I don’t want anyone taking out any part of my body all because I haven’t been living right. Scaryyy.  
• Good news is that we’ve fixed my new living arrangement for second semester. I can’t wait to move back in! It almost seems like I’ve been on a super long vacation since May and now I just want to go back to school. As nerdy as it sounds, I honestly miss doing homework and studying for quizzes and exams.

There are a few things that I have in mind but I don’t want to write about it because it only makes me sad.. But things will be looking up soon. I can feel it. I know I’ll get by.

BTW, I went on hiatus on my Facebook and messengers and I thought it’d give me time to gather my thoughts and write more often. I hope it works! So much for the backlogging. I’ll be giving you fresher updates after this entry. I promise to be more active and post more photos. How about a semi photo blog? Sounds like a good idea right? I think so too! 

To end this post, let me share with you this photo I found on the net by Mark Gosingtian.
