Summer consequences

i desperately need to spice up my life.. it's kinda getting a li'l bit dragging and boring..

Unexpected things have been happening to me lately, things i never dreamed would happen to me, let alone be presented to me in a silver platter.

often, i think about my pet peeves, i think about people trying hard to get what they want for personal gain and fame. there was this story a friend of mine told me about a certain person trying desperately to get into one of the assumed high ranking organizations in school. there is only one reason in my mind for this selfish convolution: to get access to famous people and be labeled probably as one. no such truth? think again. the premise for my direct assumption is this: this certain person has all the characteristics of that very KSP classmate of yours back in elementary, that little person who is always nagpasipsip to the teacher, with that annoying as-if-she-knows-everything-snicker type of person. he gets into my nerves the moment he opens his mouth, with that out-of-this-world-voice. with that terrible squinted smile, as if he's trying to judge you.
i trust my friend's reaction when this guy approached her, and with that squinty smile, talked to my friend and dropping truckloads of hints here and there whilst talking.
" ai hello ___! nakadungog ko nga ikaw na diay ang bag-ong _____ sa _ _ _! kabalo ba ka, ganahan kaayo ko mu join ani kay kabalo ko nga i will do a good job jud. niya friends bitaw ta, i want to join jud. ipa join niya ko ha? unsa niya akong position?"
my friend just said that they had to talk about it with the others because they can't just assign positions to students without proper evaluation and assessment.
ultimately, my friend decided to let the guy be just a volunteer to the organization if he really wants to. good for him my friend was thoughtul enough.
anyway, it's really not that big a deal, but situations like this triggers my crankyness. i just do not understand why people are these desperate to be who they are not. in my case, it was virtually unexpected that i would be part of the student government in SU. i never envisioned myself within the boundaries of university politics. i was just happy being in the background of things. my family are inclined to the arts, music and theatre. almost all of them have some talent in these fields, except me. i never let my under capacity get the best of me. instead, i began to explore the different side of fame and popularity, the background. i was there in the background cheering on my sisters and cousins during various plays and shows they were cast in. Annie, The Sound of Music, The Vagina Monolugues, Debates, Choir performances, Band shows, Yatta performances. i was there when people were in awe at the private performances of my grandfather with his accordion and piano. i was there listening to the exceptional talents of my relatives in Tanjay. but it was never me, and it never occured that i should pity myself. i was happy just being there at all.
so, as i was offered the candidacy as a representative of my college, i was surprised at that.. what was more surprising is the fact that i won. i never expected that that number of people knew me and voted for me. i knew before that talents and good endeavors will always be recognized by people. that was what i learned from my parents. and it seemed that without trying too hard, i was offered this, quite literally on a silver platter. i knew my hard work has been recognized, and i was happy for myself. i know within me i am capable of handling and doing many things, i am just waiting for the opportunities to come..
2009 will be a surprising year for me. i have sent applications to spice up my life, and i hope i get chosen...:) happy summer to myself...hehehe
