Because I was inspired...

There are a lot of reasons to be thankful for this Christmas...

• Food is definitely stacking in the fridge. That would be a week supply of weight inducers for me. By January, I would get fatter in an instant. Yey me!
• I received a lot of memorable gifts from special people. But it never mattered to me whether the gift is tangible or not. The important thing is I was remembered this holiday season.
• My Christmas vacation is cool as ever because I don't get to worry about school work. I agreed to put my mind to it on a later date. And I know by that time, I'd be much more responsible. And this is not cramming. I'm just respecting the holiday spirit.
• My heart became full this year. Full in the sense that I get to give myself a break with all the heartaches I've felt before. I found a reason to love and be loved.

All these were amazing gifts and I thank God for giving a big effort in making them all happen. I tell you guys, there's still more. The best gift that God gave me this Christmas is the freedom of being myself and doing the things I want to do as long as they do not affect other people in a bad way. He has also given this gift to my friend who has been a warrior for so long. She fought so hard, trying to break free for the sake of living. She has been one of the most special friends I've ever had. I treat her as my twin sister. This Christmas, she's now soaring like a dove, flying to somewhere she's happy and secured. And I am really thankful for that. What could a person possibly feel when his friend experiences this longing of freedom?

Because I was inspired, I write this Thank You blog dedicated to my twin sister. :)

High school is definitely the stage of life any person will not dare miss. Especially when you have the best friends that you can rely on and simply be crazy with. My high school in UPHSI was totally unforgettable. Every minute wasted was a memory engraved in my head. I was a child back then. And what is a child without his playmates? When I was in senior year, I was the most contented person in the world. All because of this clan. 

OPPG | OPAWERPUFF GIRLS | OPAL + POWERPUFF GIRLS.

Danielle "Dane" Purzuelo (first from upper left). Danielle is the lady-est of the girls in the group in terms of posture. Everytime she comes in the classroom, she glides. Comparable to Ms. Jennifer Acosta? Pwede. She's a sloth. Physically and mentally. Marked as the slowest student in class. Yet, she's the quickest person who can save you in times of need. She hates frogs. One time, when we dissected frogs in Biology class, all she did was cry and curse at the creatures. She's an anime-lover. She draws the most beautiful cartoons. She's now studying at UPV-Miag-ao BA Communications and Media Studies.


Jogene "Jen" Carreon (second from upper left). Jogene is the sportiest in the group. Football, Basketball, Volleyball, name it. She can play it all. Before she was the most pikon but really, love can change everything. She will be married to Kris Val Mediodia. They've been together for so long that our batch considers their relationship forever. She's fond of cracking jokes. From the corniest to the most hilarious, she's got all of them. We always play drama in text and in Facebook. How I miss doing it. She's now at the University of San Agustin studying BS Nursing.


Ruby Faith "Peyt" Espinosa (upper right). Faith is like the rocker. She knows a lot about music, plays and appreciates every bit of it. Together with Timay, we belong to an earlier generation. All because we have older brothers and sisters. We can relate to the 90's trends in music and movies. I'm an adopted at their place. She's addicted to the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and some other bands. In terms of life, the dangers and the wonders of it, we click. She's also the most spiritual person I've ever known. She inspires me a lot. She's taking up BS Civil Engineering at CPU.


Dorothy Grace "Timay" Bulaclac (lower right). Timay is my soulmate. What you can see in me, you can also see in her. She knows everything about me to the deepest extremities. She's like the moneylender in class. She's a fan of teen tv shows and flicks. Before, I always hang out at their place and watch teenage classics in front of the computer. We made a deal that we would go to New York together and get to the place where the set of Gossip Girl stood. She was my ex-girlfriend and I'm proud of it! She's studying BS Nursing at WVSU.


I'm the only guy in the group, that's why we were noted as F4 and Shan Chai. I had a blast with these girls. They make me want to grow old as a single man. Though we are already in college and school errands are definitely a great factor in the fragility of our friendship, we're still standing firm and we will keep our bonds unbreakable 'til the end of our lives.

Infancy

This is my first time to write a blog entry for Blogger. What pushed my brain into writing one? It's the holiday season. People are celebrating Christmas in their dining tables while I'm here in the internet cafe scanning for Facebook notifications. No, I'm not antisocial. I'm quite your next-door friend. A good reason maybe why I am addicted to social networks.

This year, I experienced all there is in an average person's lifetime. To underexaggerate, the most beautiful and ugliest things happened to me this year. Definitely it's a golden year for me in terms of school (less academics). I'm running a great social life. I have old friends who have remained wonderful until now. I met new ones who I look forward to get to know more. And I survived a lot of problems which almost had me killed. On the downside, I'm still poor. I still have a lot of things I need to fix with people. And I still have a hard time keeping every word I say.

All these give me the feeling that my life is like an arcade game. After every obstacle, there would always come another. Sometimes, I feel the urge of giving up but reflections indeed save the day. It's up to you if you let yourself get manipulated by your own pessimisms. In my case, all it takes is simple thinking. Just like now. Instead of blabbering in my head about my problems, why not write it in a blog? 

Everyone, welcome to the world of Osmond Rubinos. 

Let's talk about life as a late teenager. :)

The ham is waiting at home. Merry Christmas everyone! :)
