The first metting of Alvernia University student ambassadors has come and gone. I'd say it was fun. One of the few times I've been in a social gathering here in the States.
We talked about a lot of things. There were a lot of reminders and stuff. I met a lot of people (though I don't remember the names of most of them), and I got my nametag, but had to return it because they misspelled my last name LUSCIA instead of LUSICA. Well, I get a little demanding in those respects.
Anyway, anyway.
Ayun lang balita ko sa ngayon. I'm looking forward to working for Alvernia as an Ambassador. I guess it would be fun. I hope I'd know all the names of the ambassador people, but I guess I'm just being too ambitious.
That's it for now. Gotta do my HWs.

Uber Dilemma
"uber na `to!!!"
slang for -- "sobra na ito!!!" (in Tagalog) or "this is too much!!!" (in English)
ANYWAY,,
this is going to be my expression for the rest of my torture-filled semester.
Yes, TORTURE-FILLED. Why? It's because of the following:
1. Like I said in my prior blog entry, I added Accounting again to my major, which makes it Accounting and Communications. Two majors. Ack.
2. I have 21 credits as of the moment, which adds 2K to my account-- 660 per credit overload kasi. DOUBLE ACK.
3. I have so much extracurricular activities in my line up that I think I have to let go of a couple because I BADLY have to graduate.
GAH.
Torture, yes.
But, but... Like my interpersonal communications professor said... LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE. So, lessee...
1. Yes, I have accounting and communications as a major-- so yeah.. in accounting, in order to be effective, I have to communicate. Correct, eh? I can't do it the other way around. haha, but anyway.. in business, these two majors are an asset. And yeah, I can't choose between the two... so let's take both!
2. I have 21 credits; therefore, I added 2k to my account. My mom saw a course catalog of RACC, a community college in the city. It has several foreign languages courses, one of which I am taking right now in AU, and is much much much cheaper than my current. Ergo, if I asked nicely, they probably would credit that course and therefore I could drop my current and save me $$$1980. booyeah! Plus, I could get a refund for my SPA books. WOOT! HOPE IT WORKS.
3. Yeah, I'll graduate late. But, hey, I have two majors... what can ya expect?! And, probably, if #2 works. I'd only have to get rid of one. ;-D
Wooo.. long entry for me. So, enough for today...
Gotta do some HWs.
Ciao.

VA Roll and Classes
So, it's been a while since my summer vacation started. I planned a lot of things for the summer, but most of it didn't go as planned (as always). So, I didn't take summer classes, but now am planning to get a double major in Communications and Accounting. I'm torturing myself, but I guess I am a masochist, but just don't know it yet. Furthermore, classes are starting on Monday, and I have to make the most of it. I need to maintain my grades, if not improve it. It's a must for me. I mean, I don't even have time to groom myself because of stuff, so studies are my life right now. . .
bzzzt...
fast forward...
I read a blog of someone I know, though, unlike me, he forgot some parts of his childhood that I remember, which is kind of insulting, and at the same time, sad. So, I guess I'm not worth remembering (awwww.. huhuhuhu). Enough of the bitter paragraph.
Eh hindi nga naman natin masisisi kung malimutan tayo OR baka talaga kinalimutan yung part na yun.. or you know.. hindi na lang talaga sinali hahahaha...
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I DON'T MENTION NAMES haha.. joke.. I will, if I must.
Pero, kung hindi ko gusto maging searchable (like a friend said), hindi ko na gagawin bwahahaha.
Last weekend, my family and I went to my sister's place in Virginia. It was fun yet mediocre. We went to my mom's friends' house though. It's a big place in Virginia Beach. Very nice and cozy, but sadly, no jobs. HUHU
So, that's about it for the day. Ciao, coz I have to fill out my employment stuff.

Monster DLP
Note: This took me a long time to post.
Last weekend, August 7 - 9, was a long weekend kasi we had a 2-day seminar in New York at St. John's Univ. It was a program focused on diversity and leadership hosted by Monster.com and sponsored by several big companies such as Target, McGraw-Hill, Verizon, etc.
It was a very enlightening experience. I met a lot of new friends, chatted with a lot of people, and discovered a lot of unbelievably great talents from all walks of life. It was incredible.
Anyway, ayun, kaya medyo naging busy ako. The rest of the week after I helped teach English at St. Joseph's Villa, and then this weekend, we went to my sister's place in Virginia. In fact, we just got home.
So, anyway, that's all for now.
Again, pictures are either on my facebook or my multiply.
Love Lots,
Mhaby

After a long wait...
I'm baaaaccckk!!!
So, I haven't told a lot of people na I went back home to the Phils. for a couple of weeks. Yep! I did.
I left the States on July 2 and arrived in the Phils on July 4, went straight to Misamis Occidental and stayed there for 2 weeks. My grandmother (father's side) was in the ICU when we, my dad and I, both from the States with my mom and uncle, both from Laguna, arrived at Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental. It was a sad day from the start, but there were also happy times even when my Lola died. I was there during her last breath- actually, marami kami dun, pero I got a little shaky at first, reading the Psalm 23 of the Bible. It was a horrible and sad feeling.
So, we stayed in Mindanao for a couple of days to observe my Lola's departure from the Earth.
After nun, bumalik naman kami sa Laguna. One week din yun. My dad went back to the States on July 19, and I on July 24 while my mom on the 25th-- but my mom and I arrived on the same day -- just four hours apart at PHL (Philadelphia Int'l Airport). All I can say is-- BITIN! sobra.
I wanted to stay longer in the Phils. Even if wala kaming lutuan or TV sa bahay sa Pacita. As long as I'm with friends, and I have money-- I'm fine. haha.
I failed to see some of my peers, but I promised them na next time na lang pag nakabalik ako ulit.
Sad.
Anyway, I think my parents are going to buy a house. I'm not really sure what to think about it. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE kaya.
I don't think it's practical, but really, it's not my money, and i don't really have a say about household budget.
BUT I TRIED. don't say i didn't.
they just didn't budge.
AYUN LANG.
synopsis na yan sa journey ko sa phils.
