my life...

i'm 25 years young and am supposed to be having the time of my life. Instead I am cramped inside the world where you need to get your ass off to work on a daily basis and work... work.. work..
I was born and raised in the province, 2-3 hour drive from Manila. As a young girl, i don't really remember having big problems except when I have my occassional fights with my mom or my sister. But aside from that, my childhood was pretty normal -- or to other people, you can call it boring...
The thrill started when i went to college and studied in the best university in the counry - University of the Philippines... I have always dreamt of being independent but studying in UP was more than I expected. I had the best time of my life in college. I guess I am pretty smart to get away with good grades -- to think I don't really study that much and what I love is go out, party, drink and go boys hunting.. School was good to me... I never got the chance to experience having a demeaning 5 in my subjects even if I was a regular candidate for dropping on majority of my subjects, still i got away with it...
College was even made more exciting by my sorority.. Joining a sorority was a lot more fun and fulfilling that I expected it to be.. It also needed a lot of work... When I joined my sorority, my firsthand idea was that it's all going to be party, booze and boys... boy, was i in for a shock. We had to do a lot of political things and socio cultural activities. On top of our agenda is politics. And since I already got my way inside the sorority, I eventually got myself in the middle of a lot of stuff, I was a very active advocate of our priniciples and objectives. I had fun and as a person, it made me grow a lot.
College was a rough sail.. I had my first love, first heartbreak in college... i grew up and learned about life...
UP made me independent in every way possible... I was quite a campus figure in my own right(kidding aside).. I actually cared about being popular and tried my best to hide it and appear as nonchalant about my being popular and all(it was all superficial)... But i knew better, i love being talked about and having people know me by my name... I was like one of those popular matinee idols though at a different domain... and i loved it. loved every single minute of it.
I was always on the spotlight, i loved being the center of attention. I dated almost all the boys i liked. All my projects were a blast. I go out every weekend not to count the weekdays that i also party.
Whew! what a life i had back thenn... I was living the "life", the one that I always thought only existed in the movies but nah.. i was able to experience it.. all the glory, fun and pain it caused me.
It was like living a double life, i had an image to protect... When I was elected as the sorority's head, it was the highlight of my college career... I got invited at almost every party or whatever event is happening. Most of my girlfriends want me as their head honcho in going to these parties. With the boys, I was just as popular... hahahahaha.. talk about my ego back then... getting all the guys to call and text me... ask me out.. the problem was i knew that i was a prized catch then, that i can have any guy i like... i played hard to get.. i was probably the biggest flirt in campus...
As much as i denied it then, when i contemplate on it now.. whew.. i was capable of a lot of things... hehehehe...
this is to be continued... i'll finish this up later...
