just last dec14, i experienced my 1st college christmas vacation. FIRST COLLEGE CHRISTMAS VACATION. does that sound different? is it any different from my past christmas vacations?

well, i believe it is. :)

more freedom + no long term homeworks (w/c most elementary&high schools give to its students) = MORE FUN. yes, more fun.

i don't know if everyone would agree with me, but entering college always has attached bonuses. your parents begin to give you more freedom (note: allowing you to attend almost every debut/party/get-together/anything w/c spells fun), you learn to be more independent and responsible of yourself (note: being used to commuting&learning other routes/modes of transpo in going someplace you want to reach), plus, you learn and realize that you are now becoming an adult because people older than you trust you more; and also because of all your experiences at home, in school, at church, or anywhere you can think of.

going to college from high school is like taking the stairs from 1st floor to the 30th floor without being overly exhausted. it's like baking a perfect cake for the first try. it's like surviving a terrible disease. it's like being born again. it gives you fulfillment. because you had great achievements. things as simple as being able to complete the requirements in highschool, being able to graduate, taking a (or lots of) college entrance test and passing that/those test/s. those are achievements. achievements we sometimes tend to overlook.





ok, i am getting further away from the topic i really wanted to talk about. :p

i just want to let everyone know that i am enjoying my christmas break. :) well, i should. after studying for two terms starting may, who wouldn't want to take advantage of a 3-week break? hope you are enjoying too. :)

SBC Christmas Party - once a family, always a family. i loved it when we had our church's christmas party. you could tell that everyone enjoyed the event. everyone participated. old and young. single and married. christian and non-christian. only in SBC (Sampaloc Bible Church) where you could see a teenager teasing a middle-aged parent. only in SBC where you could see everyone squeezing himself/herself into the crowd just to be able to be included in the pictures. only in SBC where you could see everyone participating in the games. and my favorite, only in SBC where you could see pastors going crazy during games. :)

since the 1st day of my college christmas vacation, there had been many gimmicks, but this one above was my favorite shindig of all time.

2 days before christmas. it would be a sunday. no way i'm missing church ;)
