[me] & more!

Tiring day yesterday! I woke up early 'coz I had an appointment with a staff at Selkirk College. I've finally decided to visit the college to have my skills and transcript evaluated. And also to keep away from boredom caused by same old routines done since we moved here. Upon meeting him I showed my transcript. He looked at it thoroughly and I was advised to talk to a Counselor who can assess and give suggestions on what courses to take in case I decide to pursue my studies. I've never really planned out yet so I was overwhelmed of the possible courses to take which are related to my Degree [Biology]. But without considering my transcript, there might be a need for me to take a lot of upgrading requirements. Anyhow, as I was loaded with lots of information about the college's admission requirements and the like, I ended up taking a Math and English proficiency test. I started with Math and by looking at the test paper, it looked so easy. I was wrong. It actually just reminded me of my college years. Struggling over College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I was thinking, I've known this stuff before, darn it! I proceeded with the writing test afterwards. I chose the topic 'Journey', which brought me to reminiscence. I also suddenly got inspired when I saw someone entering the room. It was a flirting-with-my-eye moment. And I can't help but grin every time I remember it. Inspired from then on, I received positive feedbacks from the Instructor while he checked on my paper. (= There was even an item which I was the only one who got it right. LOL. [That was one of the easiest, actually] Hmmmmmp!

Anyway, another test to take next week and I keep on asking myself,


Am I ready to go back to school?

It is one special momentous event to one of my best pals, Jordan. Today is his Graduation Day!
That day which was once out of reach and nothing but a dream.

[me] & more!

Good day everyone! I woke up with a smile on my face today. Last night before I went to sleep, I was tuned in to DZMM for the updates of the PHILIPPINES #Azkals -BANGLADESH match. I wasn't able to finish it but I woke up knowing that they made it. Scored 3-0. WOW! They've really kicked their asses off! That's how you do it #Azkals! :)

Anyhow, while I wear those smiles, I went to the kitchen and looked for something to munch and perhaps serve myself a brunch [I woke up 11AM, btw. haha!] Thinking of what to eat, someone knocked at the door. My brothers and I weren't expecting any visitors [well, we're new to the place] My mom and her beau were both at work and never told us that someone might come. My brother opened the door and I was like 'Who are these two fellas right here?' They really were a stranger to us. After a while the older boy offered to shake hands. They introduced themselves and reasoned out that they were both asked by my mom/beau to come over and play. They brought a remote control helicopter, which was a bit broken but utterly functional. We played with it one after the other. It was fun! I enjoyed playing while conversing about personal particulars. I found out I was one year older than the other guy but he expressed that I look young. I blushed! [hahaha! just kidding!] It was just a brief conversation though. After about 20 minutes, they bid good bye. Sad. :( 

But wearing the same smile when I woke up, I thought, finally we've got a new friend. And this just makes me even more comfortable.
