Pseudo-Friendships And New Ones

While browsing through the latest from Multiply, I came across Dardarness‘ blog post entitled pseudo-friendships, hence the title of this post. I acknowledge her for the term. She is quite a witty person. Anyways, she said that

friendship follows a very complex and unpredictable architecture (architecture wut?) and one is always different from the other. the beautiful ones just came to be, as well as the really, really ugly friendships that make you cringe just at the thought that you are in any way a part of them.

Somewhat after reading the post, and usually this part,

but there are also so-so friendships that have lasted for quite some time, and just lately, I realized that I have no freaking idea how the hell i could’ve hit it off with these types of people because, foremost, there is no way i could’ve possibly hit it off with people i absolutely have nothing in common with. and are such phonies.


I felt that I could relate. Given the past events of my life at school, this post by Darliza is very applicable. Sometimes, we get so close with people, for many years we do, and suddenly, like a glass breaking, everything takes off and you realize you never were meant to be good and real friends after all. I don’t normally take this kind of talk to freaky and serious levels but I have to adjust to given situations. I just can’t be a sedentary nutshell all my life.

This is an ugly friendship. HAHA

Anyways, back to the story. The test of real friendship is the test. HAHA. Stupid.

Sometimes we live our life banging our heads in the walls of our pseudo-friendships; we just don’t know. And if luck doesn’t bereave us of itself, we get the real, good ones. And they’re the ones we just don’t want to replace. Let’s enjoy the big, laughing-gas-filled bubble.

Another story.

I felt good I got many new friends from CBS. I feel comfortable now with these people, which I struggle to do normally. Finally, I am living a good life…a good work place, good old friends (J-A-D) and good new ones, a lot of new ones.

What will inspire me at work the next two weeks will be the thought of the camp out. This better be good.

Again, thank you for the good get-together last night. I enjoyed it so much. Such events happen to me rarely as I always trap myself in front of my laptop whenever I have nothing to do.

Thank you people. See you the soonest.

Half Of Academic Goals Achieved

I just realized that it would really be good to set your goals sometimes. When 2009 came, I have set my academic goals and written them here. I have four key points in my academic goals for this year. Two of those have already been achieved. Maybe by luck.

My first one, to pass all subjects and get good grades, is the most unexpected. I have been ranting about how hard and discouraging our Bioinformatics class was in the first few months and how I prayed and prayed not to fail it. I expected to get the passing grade; I got higher. Is it luck? I did put some effort in my studying though when I know I would be failing it.

I never ever expected to become a College Scholar again. I even have a higher GPA now than last semester’s. And I thought last semester was oh-so-good. In the semester that just passed by, I was crawling; the hardest semester in my life (as of the moment). But it was fun. This is the hardest yet the most fun. I will not forget everything that happened between this semester. I hope.

The second goal is to have an OJT in a big company. Well I call that big even if they have a small workplace. I just knew they are based in California and Australia too and are owned by an American and a Japanese. I am loving my workplace. People are very friendly and fun.

Now, that I got two of the four, I have yet to achieve the last two. I just hope I will. I need to graduate on time and get GPA’s better than 2.0. That, that, would fulfill my greatest dream ever in college. Guess what.
