Goodbye Yakal, I’m homebound!
21 May
I spent the whole day packing my stuff in humongous boxes. Tomorrow is the last day in our dormitory. It’s eviction time, my dear friends.
I’ve been doing this cycle for almost six years now. I’m not surprised that it comes as a routine. Every year, it has always been the same thing over and over again.
- Checking in to a new room every June
- Buying stuff for the place
- Redecorating!
- By July, the room is cozy and comfortable
- Pack up for the semestral break
- Unpack on November (It always falls on my birthday. Sheesh!)
- Then, pack up again for the Christmas break
- Unpack again on January
- Feel at home for at least two months
- Start packing for March
- Unpack for the Summer Classes
- Pack up for the nth time on May
- HOMEBOUND! LEAVE THE DORM!
See, I have learned the calendar by heart.
The only thing I’m thrilled about is the last part. (Going home home home!) But I really hate having to worry for storage and my dorm slot for June. Oh well. It’s the least of my worries FOR NOW.
I’ve always been excited to go home, considering my nomadic status here in Manila. The only thing Batang Palaboy looks forward to is a well-deserved break in her very own abode.
In a few hours, I’ll be in NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) taking the first AND ONLY Philippine Airlines flight to General Santos, the very unholy 7:00 AM schedule. If my Math is right, I have to be at the airport by 5:00 AM. This calls for an all-nighters with Andy, Khaye and the BORGchat people.
Coming home is the most anticipated moment of my college life. I guess I have made it very apparent from the start of this entry. I actually envy my classmates who live with their respective families. I just wish I could be in their shoes. But since I can’t, I resort to making this ‘coming home’ thought as my drive to go through every single day. You should know that it takes a lot of courage and strength to live independently. And I have to pull out every bit of self-discipline my body to maintain a straight-edged life.
On a lighter note, here is an aerial view of the coastline. This is where I’ll be staying for the next 12 days!

GenSan, welcome me with open arms.
This is a very disoriented entry. I just can’t help it, I’m happy happy happy to go home!

Kitakits sa bahay in a few hours. We’ll be blogging on the same roof for 12 days; same campus on the succeeding months.

It feels good to be free of worries, and be at home.
And after two weeks of stay, here you go again with your routined life. Hmm. See how college change our lives. Adik. Nakakapagod na mag-aral pero kelangan. Hayy.
