you’re not mine anymore
tonight, i will be with the remaining pjma neb. loiue, emmababes, maydear, einreb, and maybe even meimei. tomorrow, we will be joined by the incoming batch of officers. after two days, we will be the neb no more. there will be new ones, taking our places, doing our jobs.
last sunday was exactly a year after i had been interviewed for the position in pjma executive board. it was my very first pjma experience, which was nothing fun or terrorizing. the interview was a breeze; the interviewers, may and einreb, were not at all intimidating. the twentyseven will exactly be a year after i had been given the position of vp for communications and publication. the twentyeight will be a year after i started working for pjma, fully taking in all the responsibilities of the position granted to me. almost a year ago, i wrote a post down here about my firsts on pjma. it is sad that today, i am writing one of my last experiences with them.
and i feel like a year wasn’t yet enough to be with them. the countless documents i had to make, the hundred letters i had to write, the nights i had to stay up to finish the tasks, the classes i had to cut, the fx and bus rides i had to take, the horrendous traffic i had to endure, i will miss them. they were all for the organization. all the bk tambays, all the meetings that last for five hours, all the decisionmakings, all the kwentuhans, the trivias, the affinity for coffee shops during the last days, all the rantings, i will miss them. they were all about the friendship we built.

oh gawd. naiiyak ako.
rush hour
A las seis ng hapon – puno ng tao
sa lansangan, sa sakayan. Sa MRT
mahaba ang pila. Sa labas.
At sa loob.
Hawak mo ang kamay ko, takot na
Baka magkawalay tayo.
Nakipagsiksikan, nakipagtulakan,
nakipagbuno tayo sa daang tao
para sa dalawang maliit at masikip na pwesto
sa loob ng tren.
Malala na talaga ang populasyon sa ‘pinas
sabi mo pa. Di ako kumibo
pagkat sa oras na yon, habang tumatakbo ang tren,
ako’y yakap mo, at wala na akong nakikitang ibang tao
maliban sa sarili ko at sayo.
year-ender
in a few days time, the year will be over. i feel nostalgic just remembering the days of this year. despite the not-so-good events in the latter half, this has been a good year.
some years from now, i know i would look back on my 2008 with a smile. this may not has been perfect but this definitely is one of the greatest. too many events transpired, too many people, places and things where introduced to me. too many.. – oh well, here are some of them.
*the PJMA. i feel plainly lucky to be part of this group. gee, half of my life in the last year in college revolved around you. i keep on learning new things. i keep on getting new experiences. i keep on knowing more people. some of the best (and the worst 
) people i know, i know through this group. more moments with you, guys, i hope. 
))
*the sayaw manila 4! i know, i know. all our dances are memorable. but this one is one of those that gave the most spectacular memories. remember how great we felt after the performance? we only practiced for three weeks. the choreos, the songs, the rehearsals.. all were scrounged in those three gruesome yet fun weeks. remember how hotheaded people were on that friday night before sayaw manila? we were so sabog. everyone was feeling bad, short-tempered, tired. the tension was so thick. yet we performed excellently!
sayaw manila 4
besides the dance, another memorable thing was the ‘relationship’ formed between the ‘bullies’. HAHAHA!
* Leo Burnett experience! gee, i felt one step closer to my dream. i badly want to work in the advertising field. i almost lose hope when i wasn’t accepted in McCann and LB wasn’t calling me yet after i took that stressful five-hour exam. it took them a month to process my application. it was already may when they called and said i was accepted. but the long wait was worth it! a month with the account management people was really awesome, fun, lovely, excellent, blissful, knowledge-packed, … i’d really want to be part of their organization once i receive my college diploma.
*pseudointimaterelationship. no matter how vague the beginning or how sad the ending, what transpired in between was nice. and blissful. and wonderful. and fantastic, brilliant, magnificient. and superb, splendid, fabulous, marvelous. and remarkable.
*danacamille.wordpress – yes, this blog. it is nice to finally have one place in my cyberlife where i can put anything and everything. read the past posts, you’ll know what i am saying. haha! i steamed off, i let excess emotions out, i immortalized moments of my life through this one space. it is always nice to read my past writings and see what happened to me months before. sometimes, i am amazed at my thought processes; other times, i feel ashamed of what i’ve thought and written. whatever reaction i elicit from reading the blog, i know this has helped me a lot on this past year.
* Ipod. oh yes, my ipod. seemingly unimportant thing that helped me on too many times. i always bring it with me, in fact, i can’t leave the house without it. it kills time, accompanies me in boredom, let’s me out on awkward spots, helped me through awkward moments i always find myself into, has been a useful props for my drama queen moments, shut out annoying yaks of annoying people. really, this has been awfully useful and it never had a rest since i got my hands on it. haha!
