Today i saw a lot of my old high school friends and it felt like such a long time since i've seen any of them, but wen i actually got around to thinking about it, i saw some of them last week. geez...only a week has passed since vacation. this week seriously felt like a month. i'm starting to get overwhelmed by homework n school, yet i feel so uninvolved with school. i don't know what it is i wanna do yet, but i think i shud start looking for it. at the same time, i dunno how it's gonna fit in my schedule. plus it's really hard not having a car.

anywayz, although this week was just a taste of how my classes are gonna run for the quarter, with all the homework and long hours at classes, it had it's fun moments. actually, i had a lot of fun this week. or at least, the fun moments stick out, so that's a really good thing i guess. tuesday was an awesome Liwanag meeting followed by really fun conversations of alias, acting like a kid, going to in-n-out, n getting visited by theo. wednesday and thursday was ping pong and boom boom room time. haha. o...and random outbursts of weirdness with roomy. also on thursday more visitors!! yay! paul, suzette, n joyce came over. craazzziness!! i thought someone was gonna call duty line for sure!! n today was really fun too. although i was really tired from the week's work load n didn't feel like going out today, i went to bethel's debut. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!! you were so beautiful tonight!! =) it started at 7:30 but me and diana were really late and got there at around 9. the traffic was horrible! haha...i had a really good nap in the car though. anyway, to make a long story short...it was really fun. it was even fun dressing up for a night and seeing a good number of IMMACers who i haven't seen since graduation looking so mature and perty. n i got to dance, which is always fun wen ur w/ ur friends. oo ya...gotta luv the line dancing!! haha. =D

well, all the fun's over and done with. i got loads of hw to do that'll keep me busy over this supposed weekend. i'm tired..i'm gonna go to bed now.

o wait...i forgot the reason why i wanted to blog in the first place. i came home from the debut and i was watching oprah. dang..oprah...gotta love that woman!! anyway, today's show was with lisa ling n her investigation of the female abuse in india. it's so sad....it made me sad. well, in india they have arranged marriages and they still have the custom of the bride's family giving dowry to the groom. well...there are countless incidents in which the husband would ask his wife to give him property or wat not n if she refuses he would pour kerosine on her and burn her. it's called bride burning. most of the women end up dying, which, in some ways, is better than surviving. those that do make it usually end up moving back in with their family and are thought of as a burden on them. they are shunned by their husbands, families, and by society. they cannot remarry or have a job. it's so sad....it makes me sad. dude..wen i become a doctor or watever it is God wants me to be...my dream is to go on medical missions and visit poverty stricken countries and offer any assistance. but at the same time..it just breaks my heart into pieces seeing the reality of this world. =(

hmm...well on that lovely note..i'm really sleepy n i'm gonna go beddy by. take carez everyone. have an awesome long weekend!
