Last Friday, we went to Liza's for her despedida since she's going to America for three weeks. It was supposed to be a surprise, but Joaquin and I arrived two hours late due to heavy traffic and rain.

I had tons of fun with Chan, Joaquin, Kevin, Liza, Tal, and Jake. Too bad the others couldn't make it. I hope that Liza will have a safe trip. I miss her already, and I pray that she makes it to Cornell.

Yesterday, I watched Hannah Montana with my mom. I happen to like Hannah Montana, even though many people detest her. Haha. The movie was just fantastic. I loved the plot and how the script writers wrote it. It was all very realistic, and I learned many values too.

I won't spoil the movie, but one thing I learned is that fame and fortune may come and go, but family and genuine friendship will always remain and will matter the most.

I have been through a lot the past months since school started, and I've been really pressured because the UPCAT is only 19 days away and I badly want to go to UP Diliman.

I cannot have the best of both worlds, and all these problems of mine made me realize that I am incredibly lucky to have people who I can come home to, and people who offer both their shoulders whenever I need a shoulder to cry on.

Despite the trials and pain I've endured, I couldn't be any happier to have two special groups of people locked in the four chambers of my heart: I am blessed enough to call them my family and TRUE friends.
