And so it is...

The cards have been laid. It's now time to play the game.
iTunes: Rise by Samantha James

I haven't blogged about this because I wanted to see the results for myself first. Here goes.

Two weeks ago, I went to a manghuhula to have my fortune told. :)) Hahaha. Okay. And then here a couple of things which she predicted for me:

*My ex and I could possibly give it another shot
*I'm going to have 4 relationships within the next two years
*I'm going to win in the Sanggu elections - by 60%
*I'm going to graduate with distinction
*I'm going to Europe
*I'm going to land on the job that I like and have time for public service
*My friends and I are going to be friends forever
*I'm gonna be happy, basically
and some other stuff too personal to mention - but she was able to guess them right.

I don't know if it were just (as Psychology would call it) the Barnum effect. And honestly, with the way things are going now, I don't know how to react. It's just so creepy.

I won the elections by 62.33% of the votes. Now that's something. As to the first one I stated... Naaah. I don't think that's ever going to happen now. So I guess, while that option is still possible, it's my own choice to leave it at that.

For the other things, I'm yet to find out of course. I think that the manghuhula was a good resort to boost my already failing ego. I did my best for things to turn out this way.

I've been super busy the past weeks and my workload has just escalated into such an alarming rate. Hopefully, I would be able to do what I do best: work and be happy. :)) Gawd I wanna watch Ne-yo but I don't know if my parents would let me.:(

Everyone in Ignacio is a bit sad with the election turnouts - of course including me. Even if I were a first-timer in the party, I never felt so much at home. I met new friends, not just co-leaders in the Sanggu, when I entered it. I ran as independent last year because I knew no one from either Ignacio or Agila. This year, when I became part of Partido Ignacio, I felt like I missed so much during that one year of being an independent candidate. It's not about being clique-ish or just sticking to the people who you know. The truth is, after everything you've been doing together, you still go beyond that circle of people. It's just that, you become stronger and better because of the people inside that foundation. Most of the ones who deserved to win lost to either their opponents or to abstain. It was such a saddening feat.:( But God has plans for everyone - and in believing that, we know that it is His plan to keep us together regardless of our win or loss in the elections.

At the end of the day, we know what kind of persons we have become after being a part of the whole Ignacio slate. :) And no amount of ridicule or external speculation can ruin that.

I wanna do so much but there isn't much time. Everything else is moving at a much faster pace and I don't know if I'm slowly getting stuck to where I'm standing.

[EDIT] 10:48 p.m.

I noticed that I have too much posts in this date so I'll pick where I left this afternoon.

I just came home from a family dinner. I had just finished exercising (with the help of my ever reliable Hiphop Abs) and I resumed doing my theo reviewer for my orals when my dad texted me asking me if we wanted to have dinner with everyone else because Tito Ode just came home from abroad.

So of course after a short panic attack (dreading that I won't be able to finish my theo thing and make time for accounting) I said yes and immediately got dressed. Then off we went to Emerald Garden in Roxas Boulevard to eat dinner.

I sat quietly during dinner and let the folks chat. My tita and I were talking about booking flights for summer and stuff. And then I heard something rather not pleasing.

Long story short, my lolo is so sick that we have to convince him to hang on by drinking medicine and listening to what the doctors advise him to do. My stomach makes a turn every time I think about it. He's gonna undergo an operation soon to at least remedy some things.

There was so much drama. But knowing my dad's side of the family, they were always optimistic about things and they would always find a way to joke about even those types of issues. So at some point, it wasn't that heavy to take in.

Save the drama. I'm just praying and hoping for the best in everything.:(
