So, so, so

Summer's done I know and schools gonna start by next week. Yes, I am officially a student, once again and yes, I'm loving every bit of it now. But I didn't get a hold of my own summer fever so allow me to list things that made my summer charade!

1. Last game

My high school volleyball team is joining summer leagues here and there so as to prepare for the upcoming major league the school's joining come SY 2009-2010. MY then coach aprroached us alumni to join the league since other players are out for vacation. I for one gladly took on the challenge. There's nothing left to do except for attending summer class in the morning so why not bask under the sun and try to flex some muscles and heat up the athlete in me. I don't know but I have this feeling that this would be my last joining sports competition. After this year, I would be finishing my studies and get into the ride of the real world. By this time I wouldn't have enough time and chances to play sports and do anything I want. So, I joined two torney and won both. Ok, we placed third in the other tournament but that's good since we have been able to defeat pretty good competition.

2. Enrollment

So my sister is an incoming freshman. So as a nice, thoughtful big brother that I am, I accompanied her into processing her enrollment. I thought, even if tuition in UP goes up a notch higher we could pretty have a decent payment since it's UP. All the while, I thought it won't go beyond 15 thou but holy moly it did and more! And you call this institution UP! Goodness!

3. May phone na'ko

My friends don't get it that I don't have a phone for about 4 years. I think I really am not a phone person. I could not get the hang of texting. Landline call works better for me.

4. Thesis

I don't know but for some ungodly reason I could not just finish my thesis. Everytime I would attempt to work on it, mishaps happen. I've been jinxed. NO! NO! I'm halfway in the process of finishing my work. But lo and behold, here's another bump. Microscope's not working. Good, Nice. Very much. I hope I could be able to finish this not until the end of the semester. I will!

5. That ID thingy

It's been two consecutive days that I've been reprimanded by guards for not wearing my ID. I'm suppose to be abiding the rules, I know but I've been used in my whole student life that I'm not wearing any. But I bought my ID lanyard just this afternoon. I thought it would be just right to wear something that would identify me.

6. What's with the "babe"?

I, myself could not give a good reasoning concerning this. What's with the babe nga ba?

Post- summer rant

Summer fun. Summer love. Summer's ended.

Ok, I just need to do this. I think I've been in rave for quite some time now and I just really need to do this. I know there's a thin line between protection and prevention, yes, I hope this is coherent with what I'm trying to arrive at.

I bet it comes with the air of being the "big brother" that you just have to have a say with anything that concerns your sibling. In my case, I hope I could do just that. Thing is, you always have to be cautious of what you have to say because you might just have offended someone or in my case initiated a cold war between me and my siblings.

My sister's in love. Don't ask me why, I could only give you wisdom par with that of a 10 yr. old boy when it comes to this matter. And, she's feeling I don't like the guy for her. Well, yes I don't. And I bet my sister's thinking "I've got one hell of a jerk brother". And I don't like that, so I need to justify my actions. But every justification I have in mind would only lead to me not approving of the guy at all.

Now my sister's concern because everyone (I guess, I won't be held cuprit alone!) in the family doesn't show much liking to the guy. Many thanks to his selfish brother who in any way deprived his sister of the joy of loving and being loved no matter how mushy it may sound. Thanks to his obnoxious brother who would rather cut off his sister's chance to feel the care from someone aside from her family. And be grateful to his goddamn egoistic brother who would exclude his sister from commiting in a relatonship that would make her happy.

And my lungs would burst any moment. Disgusted with my own self.

I wouldn't want to be the good brother basically because I could not qualify myself good by any means. But, I want to be considered as the brother who looks for the best interest of his siblings, someone who understands. I guess I better just have to accept the fact that my siblings are in the rush of youth. And they need this, for them to learn, inspire, and understand.

Cut the downright display of disapproval. I just need to live by it. In the end, all I want is my sisters' happiness.
