The College Life

Buti nga't nakahanap ako ng mga kaibigang kasing bruja ko. ANG LUNGKOT NG MAYNILA. Ironic, diba? Dito, kahit anung oras pa, laging may naglalako diyan sa daan. Laging may traffic. Lalo na kung umaga, 5am na, putukan na ng mga pito ng jeep. Nakakairita. Idagdag mo pa ang kwarto kong wala man lang kabintabinta na pwede mong maging hudyat na umaga na. GRRRR. Kahit alas 12 ng tanghali, nagmistulang alas 12 ng gabi. Kaya, kung may klase akong 7am, kahit sakto ang oras ng tulog ko, wala akong ganang bumangon dahil paniwala ko'y gabi pa. `Tas sa UST, taas ng istandards ng mga prof. Panay gusto nito, nito at ito. At alam mo ang deadline? NEXT WEEK. `Kala mo naman kung sinong makapaghingi ng responsibilidad. Hello?! 9 kaya kayong naghahati sa mga oras ko. `Tas panandalian niyo pang hihingin ang mga requirements niyo. MAAWA NAMAN KAYO. HUHUHUHUHUHU. Buti nga nama`y mababait sila. Pinapatawa ka nila. WAG NA WAG MO LANG GAGALITIN DAHIL BAKA MAMURA KA AT SASAKALIN. `Di, joke lang. Biro ko lang yung sasakalin. Hihihihi. Human Rights Violation na po iyon.

Kaya ikaw, kung gagradweyt ka na at plano mong magkolehiyo sa Maynila, pagisipan mong mabuti. Dahil hindi sapat ang "kagustuhan at reputasyon" para makapagtulak sayo na kakayanin mo. WHAT YOU NEED IS PASSION. (AND GUIDANCE) Ako, hindi ko lang gusto ang UST, pinangarap ko talaga na dito ako makapagtapos simula nung pagpaslit ko. Ngayon, meron akong mga pinagsisihan kung bakit pinili ko pa sa Maynila mag-aral. Pero, hindi yun kayang baliwalain ang aking goal na maging isang tapat na Tomasino!!! Echossss. Whew.

HAYAAN MO MUNA AKONG MAGDRAMA. K??

It's all about who we are..for real

Hey!I'm Roseanne Erika A. Loquellano. My friends call me Erika, but when I reached college, some of my new-found friends call me Rosiee or Chichi. And it's weird hearing that.

I've been living in this crazy for 17 years now. My journey has always been and will always be a bumpy one. I've been through the loudest laughter and the saddest tears but still here I am today, standing still, proud and happy to who I really am.

I have an amazing family. My dad, Ronnie, has been working overseas since I was three. God knows how much I miss him every single day that he's not around. He still calls my mom 'Love' and it's so thoughtful of him for doing that. My mom, Evelyn, is a public elementary teacher. She was my Filipino teacher when I was in the 6th grade too. She's a bit loud I tell you, but deep inside, she's really sweet, funny and of course loving. I have two ridiculous older brothers. Rodney, the eldest, dreams of becoming a pilot but still hasn't find enough financial support for his training, which leads him to apply for a job in a ship company. Michael, my older brother, is on his last year in college already. So we'll be expecting a fully-payed nurse maybe 2 years from now after his board exams and additional experiences. I, being the youngest of the siblings, am on my first year in Biology, because I hoped to become a doctor some day.

Being a doctor isn't just my only dream by the way. I had hoped of becoming an actress ever since I was a child. The limelight has always been the source of my inspiration every time I declaim, which eventually make me look like I am natural. Well, my mother was an actress anyway. In her college years, she was an athlete, musician, declaimer and a dancer, no wonder how I got my ever awesome chromosomes. Ahihihi. I wanna explore the center stage, and I wanna know what it feels like to win an Oscar and have a sold-out concert. But yeah, I have to stick to college first. My mom says, no matter what age you'll reach dream, it's still fulfilling `cause you know you have accomplished something really important to you.

I always remind myself to stay inspired. Because it is only through inspiration that we are motivated to move and be different. This still ain't my moment to shine (bright like diamonds and make tons of money, hihi), but somehow someday when my moment comes, I will be a champion. :) Stay inspired!
