however, that didn't work too.
don't ask me why. (",)

when you want something, all the world conspires in helping you to achieve it... i reminisced that rainy sunday afternoon, within the confines of a second-floor palma hall room. my hands were numb with cold, yet violently trembling. when the papers were given to each of the fifty-some students seated inside. it was when i said, with half-confidence and pure nervousness...
Lord, alam ko po na itinakda niyo na makapasa ako sa UP. then, looking at today, a few weeks after the results came out, i still marvel at the impact of those words, considering that back then i still had my doubts. but so it happened, and i'm really thankful...
but, when one would usually breathe a sigh of relief afterwards, mine is a real different case, and i don't want to think about it. not now...
for the meantime, i am student 2006-07148, a future up diliman student that will engage in a four-year bs psychology course in the confines of the college of social sciences and philosophy building, better known as palma hall annex.
praise the Lord. (",)
g_b got tired of senseless ranting by 19:27. |
it was just about now when i noticed that people write things about themselves in the profile section of their online diaries. then i looked at my former blog sites, and, it was like... whoa, am i really that weird?
so maybe it's time for a bit of change, a touch of conventionalism. for once, at least.
well, you see the guy in the picture? yeah, that spectacled boy running in haste? that's supposed to be me, j. gabriel de leon y limpin... what does j stand for, you ask? it's for me to know and for you to find out if you still don't know.
i'm a 16-year old boy who wears a pair of glasses, sports unkempt hair, and usually dons loose clothes. i might look a bit plump in the drawing, but in actuality i'm a tall, dark, skinny, frail guy who always forgets to drink his milk and take his breakfast. up to know i still wonder how come i stand at five-feet-eight-inches but weigh only 102 pounds...
way back then, i was a small, plump kid who showed a lot of promise. during parties, my mom and dad would usually strut around and boast of how intelligent, how healthy, how handsome i was. for eight or so years, that had been the case. i got my share of respect, like this little prince...
then came a heartbreak, and high school.
inexplicably, i suddenly became a complacent and idle guy who fell in love with my personal computer too much, even to the point of forgetting if i already had dinner. i was transformed into a student ridiculously full of potential but never getting to use the stuff. i developed a very healthy sleeping habit that made me garner the honorable distinction of being the student earliest for the nth class.
high school went on, heartbreaks pursued at will, and down to oblivion went that once promising young kid. so much for the pride of my parents.
today, i still look back to him. in fact, i'm trying to revive him, after four years of dormancy, or something more like stagnation. impossible, yes, but it's worth a try. too late, maybe, but i'll prove that it's not.
