I realized a lot during the summer. I guess there are certain things which are not the same anymore, and all we have to do is to accept, learn to live with the changes, and move on.
I’m glad things happened the way they did. :)
I’ve been busy with school stuff and I hardly ever posted anything since school started. Blame everything on our Rizal Course group reporting! I only sleep for 4 hours every night ever since we started researching for our report. Hassle, grabe. I have to wake up at 4:15 to 4:30 every single day just to get to school before 7 am. I thought I’ll get used to this once the second week of school starts! I guess it was just a thought. It’s never gonna happen. Every time I get home from school I usually sleep for an hour or two so I could add a few hours to my sleep and to relieve my stress. When I wake up that’s the only time I do my school works, then I end up staying up later than the usual ‘cause I still need to do school stuff, then I wake up early again feeling much more tired and exhausted than ever, and when classes start I feel so sleepy and then I go home and the cycle goes on and on and I bet it’s never gonna stop.
Welcome to Sophomore year, Cam.
A woman gave birth while riding the LRT! She gave birth at Libertad station so she named her baby girl Lilibeth. I wonder how the people inside the train reacted to the situation. Grabe!!
Not being able to disclose everything on your SALN is a perjurious act.
Perjury - lie under oath: a lie told in a court of law by somebody who has taken an oath to tell the truth
ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE XI OF THE 1987 CONSTITUTION, SECTION 2:
The President, the Vice-President, the Members of the Supreme Court, the Members of the Constitutional Commissions, and the Ombudsman may be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, culpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, other high crimes, or betrayal of public trust. All other public officers and employees may be removed from office as provided by law, but not by impeachment.
Under the principle of EJUSDEM GENERIS, “where general terms follow the designation of particular things or classes of persons or subjects, the general terms will be construed to include those things or persons of the same class or of the same nature as those specifically enumerated.”
Clearly, CJ Corona committed Perjury, which is not considered to be of the same level as the crimes stated in Section 2, namelyculpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, and betrayal of public trust. It is a crime with much less punishment.
Therefore, he should not be impeached just because he committed Perjury. Yes, he committed a crime but PERJURY is not an impeachable offense.
So ano ba nangyari kanina? Napakarami kasing interpretasyon ang batas. Ang hirap magdesisyon.
Thank you, dad. Thank you for explaining these things to me! Now I understand.
BTW, HI Senator Lapid. As if naman wala kang mga abogadong staff para magpagawa ng speech. Lahat kayo meron niyan. Pasikat ka pa eh.
It’s not just about staying up all night just to finish a term paper.
It’s not just about passing an exam, getting high grades and hoping to be part of the Dean’s list.
It’s not just about making new friends, and trying your best to fit in.
It’s not all about proving yourself to other people.
It’s also about trying out new things—trying out different things and getting out of your comfort zone.
I’ve been busy with my story on Wattpad. Hahaha! I wish I discovered Wattpad earlier so I could write some more.
THAT WEIRD FEELING when all of a sudden you feel so sad and you don’t even know why. Yes, I feel sad and I don’t even know why I feel like this. It’s like, someone left me or something. Maybe it’s because of the gloomy weather, or maybe because Lakers lost? WHAAAAT.
Do you know the feeling when you’re about to cry and there’s this something you feel in your chest and you just can’t explain it? Yes, that’s what I’m feeling right now. Awhile ago I was laughing so hard and I ended up in tears, thanks to my brotha. But those were tears of joy! All of a sudden I feel so lonely. Why oh why. Maybe I just need some chocolates.
You know you’re growing up when:
Growing up isn’t as easy as we thought it would be. It’s not just about the changes—physical appearance, personality and attitude. It’s also about the acceptance. Acceptance of the fact that the people we love are also bound to these changes. They also grow up. They grow old, and eventually they will soon leave and we have nothing to do about it. We have to accept the fact that nothing in this world is permanent. Maybe that’s one of the most difficult truths about life—people come and go, and all we have to do is to accept.
Your existence in this world for a decade has changed a lot of lives. You may think you’re just a skinny little girl with no special skills, talents, beauty, or whatsoever but to your parents and to the people who love you, you truly are amazing. Stop comparing yourself with other people, ‘cause you are different from them. We all are—we are unique and each of us possesses skills which make us truly special. You have nothing to be ashamed of, just be yourself and grab the opportunities that come your way. Follow your heart, but remember that God put your mind above your heart so it could be guided. You’ll meet the most amazing people a few years from now and I tell you, they will play a big part in your life!
In a couple of years, you will fall in love. You will get your heart broken. You will cry a lot at night, and regret some things you did, but know that everything happens for a reason. He came into your life to make you realize that love isn’t always a fairy tale ending. At this point in your life you may feel like everything’s falling apart, but know that your friends and family are always there for you no matter what.
Disappointments. Yes, you will get a lot of this as you grow older. You will not get into your dream university, but eventually you’ll realize that you’re not really meant for that school. You’re meant to be somewhere else—somewhere you’ll meet awesome people. Somewhere you’ll meet that one guy, who will make you feel special and change your perception about men without even trying to.
As young as you are now, you may feel that you are experiencing a lot but trust me, honey. You’ll be in a lot of pain as you grow older. You just have to go with the flow, but not all the time. You have to know where you stand and what you believe in, so you won’t have to be influenced by a lot of things. People come and go. Yes, it hurts but that’s just the way it is. No matter what happens, know that God is always with you. Keep smiling, think positive. Take risks, and be yourself.
Love,
18-year-old Camille. <3
P.S. Enjoy the remaining years of your innocence childhood! Don’t be in a hurry growing up. Play dolls, SLEEP, go to the playground. Emphasis on “sleep”, ‘cause you’ll be deprived of this as you grow.
