>The Darkness That is Me

….i am exhausted…May20, 2008 is the first day of enrollment of PUP for the school year 2008. here’s a recap of my day

…5:30 am. Me and jill wake up to have an early start. nanay made breakfast

we took a jeep to forbes. but then there was no jeep to lardizabal. we asked again and again until we realized we walked all the way to sta. mesa. We then took a jeep to stop and shop and found ourselves in PUP.

…hayz…as i turned out it didn’t matter if you’re early or not, or wether your ticket is a high no. or not. if your interviewer isn’t there you don’t get to finish step 1(interview)…here’s me being bored…

I met mia here. She’s also a bs-bio student. since her no. was 10+ and mine was 34 she got ahead of me and was able to enroll first.

…since there have been others who finished step 1 the line in step 2(admissions) was soooooooo long..it was already 3pm when i got to the line…my cell phone ran out of battery so i was unable to take more pictures. Anyway when i finally got to step 3(cashier) my no. was 600…and as i waited someone announced that ll of those with nos. 501 and above must return the next day… i was pissed..but oh well…i was only really concerned of jill. We took a jeep that says Quiapo and got off at San Sebastian Church. then we walked to isetann then got a jeep to retiro. finally we got to eat lunch at 5pm…

The next day…i was so tired. i didn’t want to get up…but i must and so began a new day. this time we took a jeep to recto, then got off at isetann and rode again to Theresa PUP. it was still early but the line to step 3 already circled one side of NALRC.

(this is the line)

this is juvy and me although we were in the line together it wasn’t that long when we had to arrange ourselves by no. she was 700+ i was 600.

Anyway, i met others in the line but not that long to know their names. And so i continue to the cashier but, alas, the computers were not in my favor. it took awhile before i could proceed to step 4(Picture for ID). and when i finally did, the line was already stretched outside. this is where i met Melvin (wearing red shirt) and Karl (yellow shirt). but we had different courses. it was 2pm, i think when we got in to take our picture. when it was done we went to room 117 to get our ID’s. but it wasn’t by no. this time. we had to wait for our names to be called.

(see how many people are in the room? you should see how many people there are outside!)

We decided to eat one at a time while the others wait. Karl ate first since melvin wasn’t hungry and nalipasan na din ako ng gutom. After Karl I went to check on jill. we had no more money for food so I just went to the CR. I got back and our ID’s were still not there. so we talked, and talked, and gave each other our nos. just in case this happens again. Anyway we got our ID’s after 2 hours of waiting. YEY!

jill’s happy..well, until ate screw up. we took a jeep to Quiapo. then, ooops, i stopped a jeep going to munoz, but as it turned out he was gonna take different route than that of what we used to. so jill stopped another jeep to espana. we got off at the mini stop near the SSS branch mom told me about. then jill wanted to walk home because she spent the entire day sitting. here’s a pic of our way home.

When we got home i just lied down..too tired to even eat. then we watched a movie titled "My Girl" where the best friends died, and well i cried when i think my only best friend would die as well.

After that i took pics of my sisters.

then mommy called. and that was it…i’m still soo tired…
