..and I was right! I slept at exactly
2:47 in the morning. Told you guys, it never happened! Especially when I promise myself to do it. Too bad, soo bad. Haha! Before I actually fell asleep (late) I really prayed to God that may His will be done for this day. I asked Him to be in control of everything 'cause I really want to meet new friends so that I can share God's word to them. I prayed that may God prepare their hearts to be willing to know and accept Jesus and may He also prepare me and use me mightily to expand His kingdom. And I prayed for favor for my new Professors, of course.
For my
Monday Classes, it will always start at
10:30 in the morning. I just ate a piece of apple and drank my fave
caffe latte and went off. What a beautiful rainy morning, I saw
Marvin,
Carlo,
Yuji, Russel,
Erzel and
Rizza at once!
Erika was absent 'cause they accompanied her sister in the airport. Any way,
ESOF minus
Erika, is still fun. Incomplete though. But it turned out to be fine.
First subject,
Filipino 2A. Haha, imagine that a professor entered a room, acted very strictly that he even get mad at one of the students inside the room, and all of a sudden all of the students became so quiet. Then he asked, "
Psychology Students?" And because we are not Psychotics, haha! Kidding! We said, "
No Sir, Mass Comm, Sir!". So full of shame, he went out asking everyone in his way if ever they are
Psych Students. Hahaha.
Of course these things will never be outlisted for the
first things first list for the first day of classes.
1. Introduction of the
Professor2. Introduction to the course (subject) background.
Course Syllabus hand outs.
3. (COR)
Certificate of Registration to be signed by the Professor, and
4. the thing called "introducing yourself and
making out new friends"
And again, my burden is to pray for them that I may be a channel of the Word of God and that they can know God before the end of the semester. Please help me in praying, co-workers in faith!

As we walk our way back to the campus ohhhh we saw our former block mates! Almost all of them were able to enroll their selves in one section including our class room clowns,
Beauty and
Divine! Oh how I miss
Jemmah, my very intelligent (and talkative at the same time, haha!) seatmate. Awww. We exchanged hugs with them, too bad only
9 of us (ESOF and Anna) from the original
MC0812 were enrolled to
Block 1 (MC0811) for the second semester. This is sooo unwanting. On the brighter side of the day, I made new friends while waiting for our next Professor. Yipeeee! They were laughing at my utterly nonsense jokes. Hahaha. I wonder why? Am I really that funny or is my face just plain humorous? Haha! I know I just insulted myself.

Words of Wisdom from Sir Rey (you'll love this!)
As we were reciting one by one, saying our expectations for his class..
Yuji: I expect that blah blah blah..
Sir Rey: Oh Yuji, Nozaki right? Am I right in pronouncing it?
Y: Yes Sir
S. Rey: Full blooded Japanese?
Y: No Sir, half Japanese, half Filipino
S. Rey: Oh I see, just like you I am also torn into halves
S. Rey: Half Filipino
S. Rey: Half Chinese ...
S. Rey: Garter
S. Rey: Chinese Garter! *winks*
*the whole class cracked up a lot* hahaha! He even mentioned that he has two citizenship. One is Filipino Citizen, and another one is SENIOR CITIZEN. Hahahaha! At last a very funny Professor, out of 4, 2 of them really made me laugh and as far as I perceived this day, I will definitely enjoy their class. And I was really challenged because they are so so great. 2 of them has doctorate degrees! What an achievement! Thank God! Praise God! Glory to God!
As for my
NEW block mates, (MC0811) well, I cannot judge them according to what I see but some of them are just mere snobbish. Not to mention
Ben Fernandez' (FEU Basketball Player for UAAP) girlfriend/model
Kim De Guzman, (that is now our block mate) she's like shy and that's holding us back whenever we try to approach her. Not because of her 5'6" height ah! Definitely not. Haha! And some of them are still on a shy-shy basis, you know. It's part of the whole thing we call the
first day jitters. Pfft. Hope that my first not-so-good expressions will be replaced to a not-so-bad one soon! But for some of them who're very friendly and smiles are all over their faces already? Not bad for the first day get-to-know-each-other-feeling! One thing that I have proven to myself:
The second semester is gonna be a way harder than the first. In any aspects. And that is for the reason that I just can't explain right now. But all in all, thank God! Praise God! Glory to God!
Tomorrow is
Math 1,
Natural Science 2,
Political Science 1N,
Speech 1, and
PE 2! Exciting but nerve cracking. Pray for me, good night! God bless!
I am the salt and light of the world, may the light of God shine through me.
It's
7:24 PM and I'm still free to live for God
