  <description>I&apos;ve always been warned to not get attached to college friends. It&apos;s too risky!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They flunk a subject, they get held back.&lt;br /&gt;They realize their &quot;calling&quot;, they shift.&lt;br /&gt;They get offered to become an artista, they don&apos;t come to school the next day. (joke saka na yun guyzzz)&lt;br /&gt;They get a chance to live in greener pastures, and be with their families... what choice do we have. They fly away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Stick to your high school barkada.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;This was the original game plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we all eventually admitted that we needed someone there.&lt;br /&gt;Someone to be with during the long two hour breaks.&lt;br /&gt;Someone to be late with when two hours just ain&apos;t enough.&lt;br /&gt;Someone to endure the stinky cats with.&lt;br /&gt;Someone to BUZZ at 2 am, asking about the progress of his/her paper.&lt;br /&gt;Someone to sit with at the back when terror professors are passing chalks and calling people sloppy.&lt;br /&gt;Really.. Someone to just share this new world with. Sorry na, frosh kasi :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cue the entrance of college friends. &lt;br /&gt;When did I start to call you BBB anyway?&lt;br /&gt;And when did we grow to be Happy Everyday?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably when I realized that I have truly found friends in you. &lt;br /&gt;And when I stopped denying that you&apos;re the people I want to be stuck with until we&apos;re hot young doctors who will save the world (after braving the quevadas este cadavers, of course). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Stick to the people who have no choice but to be stuck with you too.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that&apos;s the game plan now. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don&apos;t know who among us will stay.&lt;br /&gt;But this is for all of you whom I tagged - life goes on.&lt;br /&gt;People come and go, so don&apos;t make any promises for tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;Why do you have to, if you are happy enough today?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come.&lt;br /&gt;And when that time arrives, &lt;br /&gt;then you will see that you have both lost nothing by setting each other free, &lt;br /&gt;and have instead gained a richer, fuller life, &lt;br /&gt;a wealth of experiences, &lt;br /&gt;and a stronger certainty of your desires.&lt;br /&gt;But should they not return to you, &lt;br /&gt;then life hasn&apos;t cheated you because no promises were broken. &lt;br /&gt;Your bitterness will not last long, &lt;br /&gt;and you will feel thankful and blessed that at the very least, &lt;br /&gt;this beautiful soul has colored your life.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bading, akala ko pang ex-boyfriend lang yan. Naloka me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAE BABY - I dread the first day of school that we&apos;ll realize that you&apos;re REALLY not gonna be there anymore. One less Sun subscriber to call when I&apos;m lost, and one less person to save a seat for. But you - I&apos;m excited for you in a way :) Sinabi ko na yun, teh. I&apos;m excited for your world to expand. Puputi ka sa States! Makakahanap ka ng nigga boyfriend. PLEASE Ikaw na lang si Macy! Or MaeC (pang-popstar gago) You&apos;ll get to a good school and have a secured life. You&apos;ll meet people just like us, maybe even better :) MOST IMPORTANTLY, you will come back. We will scream! &quot;GAGO MAE DOCTOR NA KAMI WASAP!&quot; Tapos mashoshock ako.. &quot;GAGO MAE BLONDE KA NA!!&quot; Wahahahahahaha. Kaloka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FOR THE REST OF US WHO WILL BE LEFT HERE IN THE THIRD WORLD - Life goes on. We will make more memories, and build stronger friendships. We&apos;ll course through each day knowing that someone will always be there :) We&apos;ll probably be forced to be really close, to the point na matatakot na tayo na mabawasan pa ulit. But that&apos;s no reason to be scared, divaah. May sinabi ako dati sa turnover speech ko gago quotable quote! &quot;Every song ends, but that&apos;s no reason to not enjoy the music.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHOS :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a safe flight, Mae :) &lt;br /&gt;You will always be part of BBB and Heggets. &amp;lt;3</description>

  <title>The Philippine RH Bill: Responsive and Progressive</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/34438.html</link>
  <description>My englcom argumentative essay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Reproductive Health Bill and Population Development Act of 2008 (hereafter RH Bill) is an act providing for &lt;strong&gt;a national policy on reproductive health, responsible parenthood and population development, and for other purposes. &lt;/strong&gt;It was primarily authored by Albay First District Representative Edcel Lagman and is now co-authored by about 130 more lawmakers. The bill covers the following aspects: &amp;quot;information and access to natural and modern family planning; maternal, infant and child health and nutrition; promotion of breast feeding; prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications; adolescent and youth health; prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases; elimination of violence against women; counseling on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health; treatment of breast and reproductive tract cancers; male involvement and participation in reproductive health; prevention and treatment of infertility; and reproductive health education for the youth.&amp;quot; (House Bill No. 5043 Sections I-III, 2008) More than a year has passed since the bill&apos;s original authorship, but it still remains a controversial issue in the legislative assembly. Consequently, it has also sparked debates among economists, sociologists, health experts, religious organizations and ordinary members of the community. This is why it is only appropriate for me, a concerned student and Filipino citizen, to offer my assessment. After reading the full text of the bill and the opposing arguments among different sectors, I am now brought to an unwavering stand. &lt;strong&gt;The RH Bill must be immediately legislated&lt;/strong&gt; because as clearly stated in its policies and objectives, it promotes awareness and education, ensures public health and disease prevention and enables the government to play its role in the overall welfare of the citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	One of the reasons why our countrymen still has not experienced the intended benefits of this bill is the continuing campaign of the Catholic Church to discredit it. According to them, the promotion of artificial contraceptives and sex education will eventually lead to threatening accounts of divorce, euthanasia, abortion, total contraception methods and homosexual marriage (D.E.A.T.H.). In an interview with Catholic-run Veritas 846 Radio, Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines&apos; (CBCP) Commision on Family Life Chairperson and Pampanga Archbishop Paciano Aniceto, counts that the bill is &amp;ldquo;anti-poor and anti-life&amp;rdquo;. According to him, human resources are a great advantage. The government should focus on programs that would make them useful and productive. &lt;strong&gt;Obviously, sick and uneducated humans are not the resources we would like to have. They cannot be dynamic if they are devoid of information, inflicted with diseases that can be prevented and treated, or worried about a family of ten that they cannot support. &lt;/strong&gt;These can all be avoided upon the approval of the RH Bill, which, as we will soon after see, is not just pro-life but pro-quality life.&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;First of all, the RH Bill&lt;strong&gt; promotes awareness and education, which are the initial steps to creating a well-founded society. &lt;/strong&gt;One of the key components of this bill is the advocacy of family-planning for couples. This way, they can decide on the proper timing, spacing and number of their children, according to what their family can support. Included in this clause is the recommendation of the ideal family size to have two children only, but it is still for the family to decide for their own welfare. This will inhibit the rapid growth of our population, and all the negative implications of this on our society as a whole. Aside from this, campaigns and counseling will be funded in order to provide parents with appropriate methodologies and information regarding sexuality and sexual health. Men and women alike will be more aware of their rights and responsibilities, and will therefore become equal contributors to their families and communities. Even the youth at their curious, growing years will benefit, as sex education will be incorporated in their school curriculum. This will ensure that their questions will be properly addressed, their changing bodies will be better understood and take care of, and their future decisions will be based on the rational teachings inculcated onto them early on. In effect, this can also prevent cases of unplanned pregnancies, sexual abuse and bodily disorders, all because the citizens are fully equipped with the right information.&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Another objective of this bill is&lt;strong&gt; to ensure public health and disease prevention&lt;/strong&gt;. Researches show that only 60 percent of the births in the Philippines are properly supervised by a skilled attendant, and some 160 women die every 100,000 births. (United Nations Population Fund, 2009) Through this bill, proper funding will be allotted to ensure the accessibility of vaccinations, consultations and safer deliveries from professional midwives, especially in rural areas. This will decrease infant mortality rates and other deaths caused by complications during pregnancy. After the passage of this bill, gynaecological and reproductive tract diseases will also be given attention and treatment. Citizens will be assisted with proper diagnosis, treatment and prevention. &lt;strong&gt;Some Filipinos do not even know that they are already sick, or are usually afraid to ask.&lt;/strong&gt; Through mobile health centers and campaigns, they will be properly educated by health experts. Another controversial clause is about the prevention and management of abortion and its complications. Abortion is undeniably present in the black market, but with proper treatment and information against it, it will less likely prevail. Lastly, infertility and sexual dysfunctions will also be solved. There are couples who want to have a family but cannot, and through modern medicine and technology, they can now gain access to this possibility.&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;The third and most time-appropriate advantage of the RH Bill is the fact that &lt;strong&gt;it enables the government to play its role in the overall welfare of the citizens.&lt;/strong&gt; As expected by the citizens, the government must be the first to see the realities of our society today. People are having unprotected sex. Couples need effective contraceptives. Parents are not ready for ten children that they cannot feed, clothe and send to school. The youth learn about sex from incompetent sources like the internet, teen shows and their &amp;ldquo;experienced&amp;rdquo; peers. People are getting sick and spreading diseases without them knowing or admitting it. It is appropriate for a central body such as the government to intervene. They are not being intrusive; they are only ensuring that they are able to seek and address our best interests. &lt;strong&gt;This way, they are making sure that we become responsible for ourselves.&lt;/strong&gt; Is this not what we need? Is this not what we want from our officials? Evidently, it must be. According to the Third Quarter 2008 Social Weather Stations Report, 71 percent favor passage of the RH Bill. That is seven out of ten Filipinos, Catholics and non-Catholics alike. &lt;strong&gt;This is the reality today, and we must soon take action.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	It is true that the RH Bill does not directly solve poverty or protect us from killings and wars. However, it still brings us one step closer to our goal. With the passage of this bill, we can be rich with information. We can be safe from health risks. &lt;strong&gt;We can be truly empowered as individuals. After that, we will be able to contribute better to our own communities.&lt;/strong&gt; Although the bill is strongly discouraged by the Catholic church, we must not be easily convinced by misinformation. As responsible citizens, we must look deep into present issues and evaluate how it affects us individually and as a whole. We may see that the realities today encompass our traditional beliefs; however, &lt;strong&gt;we must be responsive to the call of the times.&lt;/strong&gt; This way, we can face our present problems with modern, and possibly more effective solutions.</description>

  <description>A few random thoughts while waiting for my mom to arrive so we can go home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&apos;m happy to have made one million memories in high school. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; src=&quot;http://i49.tinypic.com/2mrd2fc.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is us heading to go out after senior prom :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And I&apos;ll be happy to make a million more.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;200&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://i46.tinypic.com/2u9j1o6.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny how things seemed so simple during our first term.&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s to four more until we&apos;re in med school!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. Look at this cutie patootie. He looks like a five year old!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://i49.tinypic.com/2pr9r8h.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi, birthday boy. What&apos;s our plan for tomorrow? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing, just some random irrelevance that made my day today. I&apos;m sure it will still serve the same purpose when I look back to it months from now :)</description>

  <title>Exceeding the character limit from now on.</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/33289.html</link>
  <description>This term has been an underestimated roller coaster for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would have said unexpected, but what with all the things I got myself into, hmm. Duh.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But right now I&apos;m writing cos I&apos;m not okay.&lt;br /&gt;And stupid 140 characters in Twitter are not enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not okayy.&lt;br /&gt;Let me make myself feel worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Trig 78% and Soctec 80% broke my supposed comeback.&lt;br /&gt;2. Hmm, the extremities of the male population (okay, just one)&lt;br /&gt;3. English argumentative essay, Soctec final paper, four more exams. &lt;br /&gt;4. Saturday. December 12. Saturday. I suck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate how I can&apos;t say I didn&apos;t expect this. Now I&apos;m left to admit that I simply didn&apos;t expect it to be this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STUPID ROLLER COASTER. Haha let me throw up in the middle of it.</description>

  <title>Finally, a well-deserved break.</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/32135.html</link>
  <description>This week, I had been so consumed with academic stress that I literally didn&apos;t have time for anything else. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things I would&apos;ve done if it weren&apos;t for my comparative anatomy and trig exams:&lt;br /&gt;1. Do student council project proposals&lt;br /&gt;2. Watch Gossip Girl, Grey&apos;s Anatomy and Glee&lt;br /&gt;3. Lunch out with Yaya &lt;br /&gt;4. Cut my nails (hahaha)&lt;br /&gt;5. Shave my legs (HAHAHA)&lt;br /&gt;6. Blog in Candy :(&lt;br /&gt;7. Derma laser session&lt;br /&gt;8. Catch up on Chemistry, SocTec and PE&lt;br /&gt;9. Exercise&lt;br /&gt;10. Go out with friends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So finally, a free three-day weekend to do all these! Let&apos;s see how much I accomplish :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS You noticed how I didn&apos;t bother write &quot;sleep&quot;? Hindi kasi uso yun sa block namin eh. Kayz. Crazy how much my course is taking away from me.</description>

  <title>Do people still use LJ?</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/31500.html</link>
  <description>As you may or may not know, I&apos;ve been blogging regularly in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://candymag.com/coc/author/aura&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;COC Blog&lt;/a&gt; since December 2008. However, as much as I recognize the exclusive privilege and extraordinary perks of writing there, I&apos;d still like to have a more personal outlet. You know, a place where I can talk about my random irrelevance and everyday whatnots without reading twice for parallel sentences and wrong grammar. I don&apos;t want to worry if or not my &quot;target readers&quot; would be able to relate. Besides, in two months or so, I&apos;d be asked to evacuate my little corner in the COC blog anyway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, should I write here again? What with the age of Twitter and Tumblr, do I still have room for my first love? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come on, LJ. We both know I never really left you anyway.&lt;br /&gt;Aura</description>

What did you do yesterday?&lt;br /&gt;A LOT! The only thing I planned was going to Ira&apos;s for our CL project. But then I ended up going to a waxing salon (only to find out that they&apos;re closed). Then I went home, but soon after my dad asked me to withdraw money to pay for my sister&apos;s friend&apos;s sutures and injections, since our dog bit her. Then Jan and I decided to go to Nathan&apos;s house to be stupid together and feel better :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. What&apos;s the first thing you would do with a million dollars?&lt;br /&gt;Decide how to spend it rationally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. How many hours did you sleep for last night?&lt;br /&gt;9? I love weekends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26. Who was the last person you had a sleep over with?&lt;br /&gt;LSYC facilitators! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27. Who&apos;s the last person that creeped you out?&lt;br /&gt;The doctor in the Silent Scream film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28. Do you like your school?&lt;br /&gt;Of course I do :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29. What jewelery are you wearing?&lt;br /&gt;Bright yellow round earrings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30. Anything fun happen today?&lt;br /&gt;Actually, nothing yet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;31. Anything bad happen today?&lt;br /&gt;We missed the mass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;32. Are you on any kind of medication?&lt;br /&gt;Haha no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;33. Are you mad at anyone?&lt;br /&gt;No :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;34. What&apos;s the last thing you bought?&lt;br /&gt;A purple robot shirt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;35. Have you cried today?&lt;br /&gt;Yes! While reading Eclipse! :))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;36. Do you think that someone is thinking about you right now?&lt;br /&gt;Yes. =))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;37. Do you have shoes on?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;38. Whats the closest thing to you that is pink?&lt;br /&gt;My bed&apos;s headboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;39. Do you get annoyed easily?&lt;br /&gt;Not really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;40. Are you photogenic?&lt;br /&gt;No :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;41. Do you like to draw?&lt;br /&gt;Yes. On my hands and on test papers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;42. Are you good at saving money?&lt;br /&gt;Yes :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;43. What should you be doing right now?&lt;br /&gt;The article for Counterpoint :))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;44. Do you have a tattoo?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;45. Do you still watch cartoons on Saturday mornings?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;46. Is there a secret you&apos;ve never told your bestfriend?&lt;br /&gt;No. Haha I&apos;m such a girl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;47. Have you ever told someone you hated them?&lt;br /&gt;No ata&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;48. Have you ever changed your clothes in the car?&lt;br /&gt;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;49. What are you doing in 2008?&lt;br /&gt;(I hate general questions) Deciding on a lot of things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;50. What is your ringtone?&lt;br /&gt;Woohoo part of The Sweet Escape :)</description>

  <title>My first entry about college.</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/27304.html</link>
  <description>Since it has been consuming most of my time and brain cells for the past month or two, why not write about it right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT WENT WRONG:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UP:&lt;br /&gt;1. I picked Nursing, Public Health, Psychology and Molecular Bio &amp;amp; Bio-Technology..... cos I&apos;m cool like that! :-\ :-\&lt;br /&gt;2. Idiotic how I let the course I really want be my 2nd choice only.&lt;br /&gt;3. I had 3 hours of sleep before the UPCAT. I tried to sleep at 9 PM but at 1:30, I still couldn&apos;t find my happy place. :(&lt;br /&gt;4. I accidentally set my alarm to go wild at 4 pm, instead of 4 am. I didn&apos;t get to sleep in the car either.&lt;br /&gt;4. I had to combat my raging bladder and the hey-think-twice language proficiency questions at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;5. I failed to just skip some of the questions that were outside the range of my knowledge and understanding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATENEO:&lt;br /&gt;1. I picked Health Sciences, Management, BS Psychology and Political Science. &lt;br /&gt;2. In my non-proof-read essay, I decided to write about how untalented I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT WENT RIGHT:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UP: &lt;br /&gt;1. It&apos;s a good thing the test is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATENEO:&lt;br /&gt;1. It&apos;s a good thing I haven&apos;t taken the test yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually if you think about it, this entry is not about college because I&apos;m still dealing with something that&apos;s very high school: pre-college dillemma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter, more high schoole-y note, it&apos;s my class retreat tomorrow! :) And we just had our first Search-In retreat last weekend and the LSYC retreat is just a few days away! (SLEEPOVER!) All my college friends are jealous. :)</description>

It&apos;s due in 3 days and all I have is a measly outline.</description>

  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/26412.html</link>
  <description>I accidentally published this question to my dead blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What keeps you blogging?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to think that if I just keep writing about my life now, I can have access to dramatic flashbacks a few years from now when I start looking back to my entries again. It&apos;s still true, and it&apos;s probably your answer to my question above. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I still neglected this. Not that I didn&apos;t have the time or the access to this update page. I just felt like I didn&apos;t really need to write anything to make me remember my experiences. The past two months or less have been so busy, eventful, different and unforgettable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay I admit it, I might regret missing out on my blogging. HAHA of course I will. That&apos;s why I am going to try to update more now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No promises, just a little personal goal. If I miss out on it again, I&apos;ll think of a better excuse.</description>

  <title>No excuses</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/26286.html</link>
  <description>In my last text, I promised to write all about my RTV trip in Iligan. &lt;br /&gt;Last new year, I also promised myself that I would always always always update my Starbucks planner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s been more than a month, and I made no written records of the days that passed so slowly and quickly at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably because a big part of me knows I don&apos;t need written proof to remember all the usually unusual things I&apos;ve done so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SRCC meetings, Gossip Girl, PBB and American Idol, running out of prescribed clothes to wear for the summer review classes, spending my money on a lot of diabetic Mango Silvanas and many many more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This doesn&apos;t feel like summer vacation though. I still have sleepless nights because of all the things I need to do the next day, but I&apos;m gonna have to start admitting that that won&apos;t change for a while. I&apos;m just so glad the review classes are through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should be sleeping right now. Good night.</description>

  <title>First of summer!</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/26092.html</link>
  <description>&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;I&apos;ve been meaning to update since the first day of summer. I&apos;ve been meaning to tell you how I spent that day and the others so far. And right now I&apos;m supposed to be doing more important things, but I&apos;d rather write.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, I finally got a boy to sleep over at my house. Hi Jan! I hope you didn&apos;t mind having my dad sleeping in the same room with us. Haha :) The other days were spent going to SRCC meetings, trips to Town and to Nathan&apos;s new house, friends coming over to make cookies and cheesecake and developing an innate need for the aircon all the time. Before I go to bed, I spend hours reading, chatting, eating and talking on the phone because now I know I have the freedom to sleep whenever I want to, no matter how late. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you go, that&apos;s my summer so far. And I can&apos;t wait to make it more memorable. From April 1-7, I will be in Iligan, Mindanao for a Lasallian assembly called Return To Vaugirard. I&apos;m so excited! I shall write about it when I come back :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh. Today I learned that you should never tell someone that he/she is a nagger, especially when you&apos;re super annoyed already. Because that will only result to a more heart-breaking mind-popping soul-burning discussion to deny the accusation. Dammit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;d love to bring my laptop with me, but I&apos;d rather go with the simple living theme of the trip. Until next week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <description>Last Saturday, I decided to bake with my mom again. But this time she made me do almost everything so I know I deserve more credit from the hungry people who just stole from the jar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;201&quot; height=&quot;267&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/allure07/Image054.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&apos;re going to tell me they look yummy, thanks, but those aren&apos;t even cooked yet! Haha, just kidding. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m definitely joining my mom in her next trip to the baking shop. I can&apos;t wait to choose my own colorful ingredients!</description>

  <title>58!</title>
  <link>http://auraroo.livejournal.com/25540.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m happy to proclaim that it was because of me that my father finally learned how to use his email account and join our clan&apos;s e-group before he turned 58 today. Happy birthday daddy cool! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... I wonder how it feels like to be two years away from a cinema discount card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is so fast paced recently. I never had the time to write about something important because the next thing I know, I have to attend to another thing already. Preparing for the elections, winning, preparing the turn-over ceremony, delivering my acceptance speech and now, finalizing SRCC 09&apos;s summer agenda. Good thing I had the time to fit in sleepovers and dates in between.</description>

  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Photobucket&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/allure07/bye2004.jpg&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s been four years since I published the entry above in an old blog site that I shall never ever link to save what&apos;s left of my dignity. A lot has changed since my cool grade 7 days as you can see. I don&apos;t wear sleeveless anymore, my eyeliner has been upgraded to electric colors and I now use the liquid variant, I lost touch with my online friends, I&apos;m still in the student council, class retreats became org retreats and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But&amp;nbsp;you can&apos;t really compare&amp;nbsp;me to the 12 year old&amp;nbsp;&quot;prinsesa&quot; who wrote that entry above. We do have the same hairstyle and we still have the same fondness for blogs and the online world, but I&apos;m older now so I&apos;m COOLER! Seriously. :)&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been through greater adventures, met more fascinating people, endured more sleepless nights with thoughts of the harsh mornings to come after. 2007 had been one of the longest years of my life, giving me enough time to go through what most of my friends haven&apos;t experienced yet. Looking back, 2007 had me crying over a lot of things. But they all got better towards the end. Do I really have to list down everything?&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I don&apos;t. 10 items would never be enough. I just know that it&apos;s been a good year, and I&apos;m ready to face the coming year with a braver heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or not. Hell year coming ahead. Good luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>Christmas break has been very very eventful I think. I had the time to write. I was always online. But I know I still neglected this livejournal despite all that. Probably because I was never in the mood to put much effort into writing something witty or sarcastic, you know. The usual entries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you insist on a brief update, read ahead. I missed four final exams because I got sick. Not sick that I couldn&apos;t come to school, just sick that I couldn&apos;t study. But of course I made it to our Christmas party. *grin* Anyway I spent more days stressing over funds for the prom. So I got more sick. But last Christmas we went to Tagaytay, just not our whole family. I had fun despite the strong wind ruining my new haircut (yes). Baby cousins are always fun to be with anyway. Other than that, I just stayed at home to rest, watch Heroes and Grey&apos;s Anatomy and search for prom dresses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay you probably think that I&apos;m a liar when I wrote that my break so far has been very very eventful. But then again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Year&apos;s Eve tonight. My cousins are here, but still incomplete. It&apos;s so different. My mom didn&apos;t spend all day cooking for everyone. We have no fruits, dessert, ice cream and fireworks. I&apos;m starving, but dinner still isn&apos;t ready. I&apos;m in a very very bad mood so I try to take my mind off things by just blogging first. Which reminds me, I still haven&apos;t claimed my laptop back after I left it at Gia&apos;s at the JG party 2 days ago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. Dinner&apos;s ready at last. But I&apos;m still feeling blah. Hopefully the prettiness of my dress tonight will compensate for my current state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!:) &lt;br /&gt;I weird you out really good don&apos;t I.&lt;br /&gt;That&apos;s me! &lt;br /&gt;And that&apos;s who I&apos;ll always be.</description>
