Now that I can at least sit still without immediate fear of Armageddon, I can put to paper (or cyber scribble) thoughts that have been in hodge-podge with all the hoopla that have been going on in my life lately.

First off, CONGRATULATIONS to us for winning 2008 Lady Med. And congratulations to the poeple who been behind this event! I've experienced more of the latter because I stupidly raised my hand when the question "Who wants to be Project Manager?" was tossed up in the initial meeting, thinking that everything will just fit into place. Well, they don't fall and fit together unless somebody (figuratively) moves them bodily with all the force they can muster in their 150-lb frame. Or even less, for Ate Tina's case. Because of being PM:

I got excuses to take trips to the 8th floor of the Central Block (where the offices of the administrative kings and queens of UP are located) at least twice a week
I practically have the MSC Chair on speed dial
I get these texts from random people I would never have spoken to in a world without Lady Med
I panic in the middle of night thinking about the Last Great Glitch (venue, and whoever sabbotaged the permit will experience my vengeance)
I skipped parts of classes or miss them entirely
I make new friends and new enemies
I experience, first-hand, politics
And all kinds of stuff I can't remember

*sigh*

Result: The best-ever, most/least controversial, terrible, terrific thing I can ever come up with! CULTURE COMM KICKS ASS. But what's sad is that I just wanted to this to show to 6 people what I can do. The two are my parents, of course, who couldn't be here. Another 2 bailed out last minute, but they know me and I still love them. And one just wasn't there, I HATE YOU. Only one sat through the whole shindig, and I'm not even sure kung nagustuhan niya OR kung gusto ko ba talagang andun siya. :(

Anyway, I'm never gonna be PM again for this, because I don't want to outdo myself. Yeah, there can still be lots of improvements, but I sure don't want be the one to take it to the stratosphere.

Nuff said.

Today has brought me all sorts of things. But along with the headache and the incessant fear of failure, this day has also impressed upon me the importance of little things (but they friggin' add up so WTH). I got to be reminded why I like a particular peculiar someone in the first place. And! It really is different experience to have someone to stare at during those Rest Stations.
