Sept. 16 - Peñafrancia Fiesta/ UAAP Cheer Competition?

I am having second thoughts whether I should go home next weekend. I am now saving a lot of money for a bus ticket. Although my parents can account for it, I want to do it myself. I am now Miss Independent.

The special events of the fiesta will be on Sept. 15 and 16. I want to witness the MIlitary Parade on Saturday and offer myself as a water girl to the Ateneo Golden Knights Battalion. Go BRAVO COMPANY! and Alpha too! (Bias) Good luck to all participants esp my babies and my successor - Bianx. Carry the flag with honor and glory. We must hold on to the Most Disciplined Unit. We've been winning that for years. You can do it. God Bless You. I want to raid the houses and EAT, EAT and EAT. I miss Bicol food. I devour GMOs here - genetically modified organisms as Rain would call the pork chop at Pink Lace. And I want to see my friends again. I miss them already even though I've just seen them last week on my birthday.

On one hand, I want to support the UP Pep Squad. Whooooo. I believe that I am now ready to wholeheartedly cheer for my university. I don't feel bad anymore at not being able to school at ADMU. GO UP! I've been with our cheerleaders and I have seen how excellent they are. I can watch them on Studio 23 at home. But standing at the Araneta Coliseum, wearing a maroon shirt and screaming UP Fight is a totally different experience.

If I choose the Peñafrancia Fiesta, I should leave Manila on Thursday night. I would miss two subjects on Friday - Eng12 and Comm3. Aw. I wouldn't see crush number two. Worse, I would lose the 0.25 incentive for perfect attendance. But I'd still have a 0.25 incentive for a special project. I must have a GWA of 1.75 to be able to shift that's why 0.25 means a lot to me.

If I choose the UAAP Cheer Competition, I would surely miss a lot of experiences. Jealousy would swallow me if I see pictures of my former classmates enjoying the high spirits of reunion. It would be heartrending to fail to take part in a tradition which I have been observing since childhood.

Hay. I don't know. I must make my decision as soon as possible.
