What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.

- Chuck Grassley

I'm happy with the way my grades turned out. :) No failures this term! And I can still apply for LAmb 2k9! Woohoo! :

Bored? Try this! :)

My horoscope for today. :))

The Bottom Line

Sharing your heart is a win-win situation. Either you learn, or you get to love.

In Detail

The biggest risk you can take in life isn't letting it all ride on black at the craps table or betting your life savings on a football game. No, the biggest risk you can take is to give your heart completely to someone else. But the rush you get when the risk pays off is greater than any amount of money ever will be. It is worth it. Even if you lose, your heart will be yours again and you will be oh-so-much wiser. Sharing your feelings is a win-win situation.

It's over! :)

2008-08-27T14:53:00.000-07:00

Tuesday

I woke up around 3 AM to review some more for my Calc finals. I left Cavite at around 6AM and arrived at La Salle at around 8:30. After settling my stuff at my dorm, I went to Figaro to have my caffeine fix since I started not feeling well after the bus ride. I went to Andrew after and I forgot what room is our exam, so I went first to the 8th floor to check. No people were there, so I went down to the 7th floor and found some of my classmates going to 703. So I took the 3-hour exam for 2 hours since I'm really not feeling well. After the exam, I had a chance to relax before the Manresa Campus Tour.

Wednesday

Slack-off day slash ENGCOMP finals review day. I haven't left the dorm and I slept until 11 AM. Then, I read Harry Potter books 5-7. After that, I studied ENGCOMP. Hahaha! :))

Thursday

Woke up around 6:30 am to reread my handouts then went to 10Q to buy some breakfast. Then I took my ENGCOMP finals at V01 a while ago and I finished it after an hour.

HELL WEEK'S OVER! YAY! :)

Five Things I Wanna Do Come Term Break

2008-08-25T03:35:00.000-07:00

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along
Move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along
Move along just to make it through

~~Konti na lang. Malapit na.~~

***

Term break is nearing and I've decided to do a list of Five Things I Wanna Do Come Term Break. Here it is!

1.) Watch a movie.

Nothing beats watching a movie at a moviehouse with a popcorn at one hand and soda at the other as a stress buster. Ah, the life. :)

2.) Go to a beach.

Aside from going to the movies, the beach also serves as my stress buster. Hearing the waves of the sea and basking around the sun is a great way of enjoying the vacation.

3.) Watch the TV.

I've been through a lot of stress this past term and I wasn't able to catch up with what's happening at the tube lately except for the Beijing Olympics. A week of unplugged TV watching will do me wonders. Believe me.

4.) Go biking!

Touring the city around with friends is a great exercise. Plus, it's also a nice bonding moment! :))

5.) Get a GOOD SLEEP.

I've been sleep deprived for weeks. And nothing beats a good sleep to get you going.

So there. One week to go! Woohoo! :)

GVBV.

Good vibes

She greeted me first at 12:11 in the morning. Imagine the bliss it has brought me. Haha! :) I just couldn’t stop smiling the whole time I remember it. Hahaha!
I bumped with my ultimate childhood crush on my way to school. We had a really nice talk at the bus and its fun. :) Okay, kinilig ako. Haha!
I saw my crushes around DLSU. Hahaha!
I passed my Calc fifth quiz. And I’m passing Calculus! Hooray!
I had fun with my UBE friends at dinner. :)
welovemarkcallado@yahoo.com! :)

Some bad vibes

I left my phone at Cavite. Great!
I searched for my UBE friends the hard way around LS since I don’t have my phone.
And, something that’s for me to know and you to find out. :P

To everyone who has remembered, thank you so much. :) It means a lot to me that you actually remember. Okay, that’s emo. :))

It was a bittersweet day. But I had so much fun.

Thank you God for giving me another year and making my day unforgettable. I love you, Lord. :)

Burnout.

2008-08-20T03:44:00.000-07:00

I just want to get away and forget everything negative behind.

Kahit bukas lang. Gift mo na sakin, Lord.

Two days.

2008-08-19T00:27:00.000-07:00

And I'm f*cking scared of growing up. I don't know. Maybe I'm not just ready for responsibilities.

Or, maybe I'm just overreacting.

Labo. Ganito talaga ata pag tumatanda na. :))

This is so nakakatawa. Okay, failed.

Ten Conyomandments
by Gerry Avelino and Arik Abu
(taken from TLS-Menagerie)

Conyo here, conyo there, conyo everywhere! Here at La Salle, conyospeak has become an unofficial language as a good chunk of the student body knows, or maybe even mastered the socialite tongue. However, one must never forget the basics of the conyo and we thusly bring you: The Ten Conyomandments.

1. Thou shall make gamit "make+pandiwa".
ex. "Let's make pasok na to our class!"
"Wait lang! I'm making kain pa!"
"Come on na, we can't make hintay anymore! It's in Andrew pa, you know?"

2. Thou shall make kalat "noh", "diba" and "eh" in your pangungusap.
ex. "I don't like to make lakad in the baha nga, no? Eh diba it's like, so eew, diba?"
"What ba: stop nga being maarte noh?"
"Eh as if you want naman also, diba?"

3. When making describe a whatever, always say "It's SO pang-uri!"
ex. "It's so malaki, you know, and so mainit!"
"I know right? So sarap nga, eh!"
"You're making me inggit naman.. I'll make bili nga my own burger."

4. When you are lalaki, make parang punctuation "dude", 'tsong" or "pare"
ex. "Dude, ENGANAL is so hirap, pare."
"I know, tsong, I got bagsak nga in quiz one, eh"

5. Thou shall know you know? I know right!
ex. "My bag is so bigat today, you know"
"I know, right! We have to make dala pa kasi the jumbo Physics book eh!"

6. Make gawa the plural of pangngalans like in English or Spanish.
ex. "I have so many tigyawats, oh!"

7. Like, when you can make kaya, always use like. Like, I know right?
ex. "Like, it's so init naman!"
"Yah! The aircon, it's, like sira!"

8. Make yourself feel so galing by translating the last word of your sentence, you know, your pangungusap?
ex. "Kakainis naman in the LRT! How plenty tao, you know, people?"
"It's so tight nga there, eh, you know, masikip?"

9. Make gamit of plenty abbreviations, you know, daglat?"
ex. "Like, OMG! It's like traffic sa LRT"
"I know right? It's so kaka!"
"Kaka?"
"Kakaasar!"

10. Make gamit the pinakamaarte voice and pronunciation you have para full effect!
ex. "I'm, like, making aral at the Arrhneo!"
"Me naman, I'm from Lazzahl!"

One week.

2008-08-13T22:44:00.000-07:00

Yun. Haha! :))

Missing them

2008-08-11T00:33:00.000-07:00

I miss you, guys.

Tara inom. :))

Youuuuuuuuuu. :)

2008-08-08T12:22:00.000-07:00

So today's 08.08.08. I'm not feeling lucky. Haha! :)

I had my ENGCAL2 quiz first thing in the morning. I woke up around 3 since I was at Cavite and when I arrived at school, I'm feeling sleepy already. The quiz was okay but I think I messed up on some parts. Gosh. I can't afford to fail.

After the quiz, I went to the library (which where I am still) to do my KASPIL1 paper which I should have done ages ago. Crap. If I just knew that this would be hard then I'd probably concentrated on this before. But I'm nearly done already and I'm just doing some finishing touches. Haha!

Also, I'm still not done with our ENGCOMP Term Project. I've already done Problem 2 but I'm not sure if it's right. Problem 1 is a pain in the a**. I'm doing my best to do it but I guess I have to ask help from my CS friends.

So, basically that's how my day has gone as of 12:22 PM. Haha! The day is still long and who knows, I might bump into some luck in the next hours.

Random.

2008-08-06T00:47:00.000-07:00

Ich falle auseinander
Ich atme kaum
Mit einem defekten Herzen, das noch schlägt
In den Schmerz gibt es heilend
In Ihrem Namen finde ich Bedeutung
So halte ich an
Ich halte an

Ich habe mein Bestes versucht, um Sie loszulassen, aber ich wünsche nicht zu.

2008-08-03T01:38:00.000-07:00

It's raining outside. And it's freaking cold.

I still have't started with my schoolworks. I have a paper due on Friday for KASPIL1. We have to make an autobiography and compare our life with Dr. Jose Rizal. Also, I still haven't studied my notes for our quiz on ENGCOMP on Monday. Plus, I have to submit a journal about the novel Smaller and Smaller Circles for HUMALIT, which is due on Tuesday.

Plus, I still haven't started my Marketing assignment for CSO. Kuya Jami, our Marketing Assistant Team Head, has e-mailed our assignments Last Monday. Apparently, I wasn't able to receive his emails. I asked Gico, a fellow P&M&M's to email me our assignment and I received it late so I wasn't able to call at least 5 companies for this week. I have to work double time since we;re targeting to send solicitation letters by this week.

Speaking of school, I saw this article in Linette's blog. This is scary. So guys, let this be a warning and always take extra care.

DLSU coed flees from abductors
By Nestor Etolle
Sunday, August 3, 2008

A 17-year-old Filipino-American student of De La Salle University (DLSU) managed to escape unharmed from her alleged abductors Friday night in a secluded place in Cubao, Quezon City.

Accompanied by her mother and an uncle, the second-year student narrated her experience before investigators of the General Assignment Section of the Manila Police District yesterday afternoon.

According to the victim, she started to feel “groggy” after coming out of the women’s comfort room in the Bro. Andrew Gonzalez building at the DLSU campus along Taft Avenue at around 4:30 p.m. Friday. She told police officers she was alone in the comfort room when she smelled something “weird,” which made her feel dizzy.

She said she was half-conscious when she left the building, but eventually passed out.

The student said she regained consciousness inside a red car parked at a secluded place in Cubao. She said she saw three men talking outside the car. She said she managed to get out of the unlocked vehicle and swiftly run away, catching the men outside the car off-guard.

The victim’s mother told police her daughter arrived at their house in Project 6, Quezon City at around midnight the same day, pale and trembling. The mother said she was frantically looking for her daughter, whom she fetches from school everyday. Last Friday, the mother said her daughter failed to meet her at the campus.

The victim lost a set of diamond earrings and a ring worth P120,000, a wallet containing P4,000 and $200 and ATM cards, which she believes were taken by her abductors while she was unconscious.

The mother subjected her daughter to medical examinations that proved that she was not sexually molested.

The police believe the victim could have been taken from inside the campus while she was unconscious. However, investigators said they would look deeper in how the coed was snatched without getting the attention of other students and the school’s security personnel.

They will also trace the source of the alleged “scent” at the school’s comfort room.

Meanwhile, the coed assured investigators she has never taken drugs and is willing to undergo drug tests to prove the veracity of her statements to police. The mother said she always accompanies her daughter to social gatherings and is fully aware of all of her activities.

Moving on a lighter side, I'm currently reading Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel García Márquez. It explores the idea of old age as well as desire. I'm done halfway with it and I must say that it's getting good every page.

Also, I had purchased a copy of Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel at Powerbooks this afternoon. My blockmates generally has positive reviews with it so I'm excited to read it. Haha! :))

To end this entry, lemme share you my current LSS. This song kinda tells how I feel as of the moment. Hahaha! :))

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here
Been waiting here

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

Mkay. :))

So That You Will Hear Me

2008-07-30T01:08:00.000-07:00

I'm so loving poetry now. Haha! :))

So That You Will Hear Me
Pablo Neruda

So that you will hear me
my words
sometimes grow thin
as the tracks of the gulls on the beaches.

Necklace, drunken bell
for your hands smooth as grapes.

And I watch my words from a long way off.
They are more yours than mine.
They climb on my old suffering like ivy.

It climbs the same way on damp walls.
You are to blame for this cruel sport.
They are fleeing from my dark lair.
You fill everything, you fill everything.

Before you they peopled the solitude that you occupy,
and they are more used to my sadness than you are.

Now I want them to say what I want to say to you
to make you hear as I want you to hear me.

The wind of anguish still hauls on them as usual.
Sometimes hurricanes of dreams still knock them over.
You listen to other voices in my painful voice.

Lament of old mouths, blood of old supplications.
Love me, companion. Don't forsake me. Follow me.
Follow me, companion, on this wave of anguish.

But my words become stained with your love.
You occupy everything, you occupy everything.

I am making them into an endless necklace
for your white hands, smooth as grapes.

***

I still haven't fixed my schedule for next term. Probably because it's my 'floating term' next term since I'm shifting. But I still haven't told my parents. Haha! Enrollment's a few days away. I have to tell them as soon as possible.

***

I really want to watch a movie. I think I have to de-stress after so many things that has happened in the past few days. I've been thinking if I'd go watch Mamma Mia (I checked it at RP's website and it's still showing) or The Dark Knight. And, my blockmates will be watching ~~A Very Special Love~~ this Friday. Well, I think I'll go with them. ~~Jologs us~~. Hahaha! :))

***

So, this has been another random post. Blame my very incoherent mind. Haha!

Here I Love You

2008-07-30T00:33:00.000-07:00

I am so in love with poetry now. Haha! :))

Here I Love You
Pablo Neruda

Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.

The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.
Oh the black cross of a ship.
Alone.

Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet.
Far away the sea sounds and resounds.
This is a port.

Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.

The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there.
My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have. You are so far.
My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
But night comes and starts to sing to me.

The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.

Let's just pretend nothing has ever happened.

Gago ka talaga Mark. Di ka na nadala.

***

I've been doing my KASPIL1 paper for two days already. We're tasked to summarize two articles, Veneration Without Understanding by Renato Constantino and Veneration With Understanding by Armando Malay. I've already finished summarizing Constantino's. The thing is, I can't find an online copy of Malay's. I've searched Google for n times already but I can't find one. Guess I have to go to school early tomorrow and research it on the library.

***

I'm such a big loser. I still haven't watched The Dark Knight. Crap. Blame my weird schedule. Haha! :)) I'll try to watch it within this week. If my schedule permits me. I'm so excited for Heath Ledger's performance as Joker.

***

While I was cleaning my study table a while ago, I found my "Eighteen things I need to do before I turn 18" list that I made way back in high school. I have 25 days left to do the others! Hahaha! :)) Well, lemme give you a glimpse of my list.

~~1.) Go somewhere far from the city's civilization, alone.~~
~~2.) Get wasted.~~
3.) Fall madly in love.
4.) Learn to drive.
5.) Go star gazing and fall asleep under the stars.
6.) Party like there's no tomorrow.
7.) Volunteer for a charity work.
8.) Go scuba diving.
~~9.) Be seen at a newspaper/magazine/television show.~~
10.) Be in a band.
11.) Shoot my own film.
12.) Have a job.
13.) Watch the Olympics, or FIFA World Cup.
14.) Watch a concert.
15.) Climb a mountain.
16.) Run naked. <= When will I have the guts to do this? Hahaha! :))
17.) Go sky diving or bungee jumping.
18.) See the Great Barrier Reef.

So this has been very random. Ang labo ko. Haha! Lemme end this entry with my current LSS. Ciao, friends! :)

Big Yellow Taxi - Counting Crows ft. Vanessa Carlton

I need a little more luck than a little bit.

2008-07-21T12:47:00.000-07:00

Cause every time I get stuck the words won't fit.

And every time that I try I get tongue tied.

I'll need a little good luck to get me by this time.

CLA, here I come?

2008-07-14T17:20:00.000-07:00

Yes, I do have my plans to shift. This morning, I went to the CLA Vice-dean’s office with Xing and Louie to get the course checklists of PSM (Psychology), PSM-LMG (Psychology and Legal Management) and PSM-BMG (Psychology and Business Management). The CGPA requirement for LIA-COM is 2.75 so I’ll take up LIA first then if I reach 2.75, I’ll add a COM course. Crazy me. Haha! :)

Why shift?

Some people would tell me that it’s not practical to shift now. I’m on my second year and if ever I shift, I’d be stuck in DLSU for like six to seven years. Besides, if you graduate with an ECE degree, the chances of getting a decent job is high. Most ECE graduates are in demand outside the country and we all know how much they can earn outside the Philippines.

But, ECE was never my calling. I have never imagined myself being an engineer. When I was a kiddo, I always dreamt of becoming a doctor or a lawyer. I never found interest at being an engineer. Now why the hell did I take it up if I know it wasn’t my calling?

I never knew you could change courses at the Admissions Office during Confirmation. If I just knew it then, I would probably be taking up PSM-LMG now. I seriously regretted the day that I placed ECE on my first choice because I though I’ll never pass it.

As time goes on, however, I have learned to like ECE. It has taught me good things such as patience, perseverance and the likes. Being in COE is no joke. You really have to study in order to get decent grades.

But sometimes, you realize that if you don’t have passion in what you do, you know you won’t have the guts to continue it. That’s what’s happening to me right now. I’m starting to realize that no matter what I do, ECE is really not for me.

So I have my plans to shift. But the only problem is how will I tell my parents of my plan? They wanted me to finish the course and besides we’ve already spent an arm, a leg and a head for my tuition fee and by shifting, I’d be wasting a lot of money. Also, I’m not sure if some of my ENG courses will be credited. If it isn’t then I’d start back to square one.

Guys, I need your help. How will I tell them that I want to shift already? :

You.

2008-07-11T14:48:00.000-07:00

I don't know, but I can't stop thinking of you.

I always want to see you, in person or in pictures. My day would not be complete if I don't see your face.

I feel happy when I talk to you. I can spend the whole day with you talking about random stuff and not get bored doing it.

I love your smile. I love seeing you laugh. It reminds me of sunshine. It gives me that warm, cozy feeling inside me.

I want to hold your hands. I want you to feel safe with me.

I want to hug you tight.

I want to kiss you.

I want you.

I love you.

Press shuffle.

And I hate it. Argh. :

Okay.

2008-06-16T18:38:00.000-07:00

I just realized that I always start my entries with the word "okay". Funny! Hahah! :D

Touchdown turnaround.

2008-06-16T18:34:00.000-07:00

Okay. So it has been a while since I have updated this blog. Well, currently we're here at the library since Heidi and Bhong is studying for their ENGANAL (It's read as eng-ga-nal, not eng-a-nal. Okay? :D) quiz tomorrow. I do actually have a quiz too for ENGCAL2 but I'm too lazy to study my notes so I'm going to give it a shot later. Haha! :D

SCHOOL

School has been very nice to me. I don't know, but I'm kind of enjoying this term rather than the past few terms. It seems that I'm really getting the hang of college. Though I absolutely miss my frosh year, I do enjoy being an upper class. Yay! Hahah! :D

ENGCAL2 (Engineering Calculus 2) has been okay, not that easy but not that hard. I always mix differentiation with integration but I know that with constant practice, I can manage to get a pretty high score come the first quiz (which reminds me that I still have to study Algebraic Substitution and Constants of Integration). KASPIL1 (Rizal) is fun at times, although my professor has her share of failed climax moments. Hahaha! :D We have lots of activities to do but it's not like those floating subjects that tends to be majors due to the difficulty in activities. I do enjoy now my ENGCOMP (Engineering Programming in C Language) class especially a while ago when I made the program run without errors. It's eye straining because you really have to pay keen attention into details or else your program will be ruined, but nonetheless, it's fun! :D What I do enjoy attending is my HUMALIT (Introduction to Literature) class since I really love reading books, short stories, etc. I do enjoy the class because our professor allows us to interact and share opinions with one another, which I find really, really cool. Plus the stories we read every week are very nice, although the topic for the first two weeks is about sex. Haha! :D

EXTRA-CURRICULAR

Today until June 20 will be the Council of Student Organization's Annual Recruitment week. I'm planning to join our professional organization, Electronics and Communications Engineering Society (ECES) and be active. Other than LAmb, I also want to be active in other organizations. I wasn't able to join Green and White and OVP-Activities since I was really busy during their recruitment week. Well, maybe I'll join next year. :D

So yeah. I think I'm gonna go now since I have to study for my ENGCAL quiz. Well, wish me luck! :D

Sing to me the song of the stars.

2008-06-05T00:01:00.000-07:00

Okay. So this song has been my LSS since yesterday. I just couldn't get the song out of my system. Well, it's a very nice song by my favorite band, The Fray. It's called Look After You. :D The lyrics goes like this: (If you view this on Blogspot, you can find the song at my playlist on the left. If you view this on Multiply, just go to IMEEM and search the song. :P)

If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Oh, oh,
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I'll look after you
And I'll look after you

If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly

Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh

It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me

Aww. :D

RANDOM! :D

2008-06-04T00:57:00.000-07:00

Okay. So this would be a random post cause I just feel like posting an entry. Hahaha!

HAPPY EIGHTEENTH STEPHANIE ANNE AÑONUEVO!

Bring out the popcorns!

2008-06-01T22:30:00.000-07:00

I have always been a movie buff. Whenever I have money, I usually spend it by catching the latest flick at the nearby mall. For me, there is nothing more relaxing and exciting than sitting at your favorite spot in the movie theatre with a bucket of popcorn at one hand and soda on the other while enjoying the movie. But sadly, since I've been really busy this past few months with school and LPEP, I wasn't able to indulge myself with this little guilty pleasure I have.

Apparently, my blockmate Heidi also wants to watch a movie so we've decided that we'll rush to the nearest movie theatre probably by tomorrow. But, we still haven't decided what to watch. I've checked both the websites of SM and Ayala Cinemas and here's what they have to offer.

1.) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Okay, so I've never been a fan of the Indy Jones series. My dad loves them though. But, being the guy that I am, I might as well give it a try since it's an action adventure movie.

2.) Sex and the City

I was able to watch a couple of episodes of Sex and the City way back in high school. It was pretty good. And because this is a chick flick, Heidi might want to watch this movie. Well, my sister does. And I believe all girls do.

3.) 21

I've seen the trailer of this film in the movies that I've seen before and I must say that the story line of this movie is kinda intriguing. It's based on a true story, so it adds to the excitement. Maybe I can pick some pointers here on making it big time in Vegas! Kidding! And, I've loved Jim Sturgess on my all-time favorite film Across the Universe where he played the role of the young Liverpudian ship builder Jude Feeny.

So, there you go. Please help me decide. Will it be Indy Jones, Sex and the City or 21?

Mancrush?

2008-05-30T08:24:00.000-07:00

It's normal to have a crush. Come on, you had your share of kilig moments when you saw your childhood crush in grade school smile at you. It feels like your world has come to a halt and the only person that matters to you is your crush. We have crushes because we see certain characteristics in that person that we want to have, or in another case, we want someone to have.

It's normal to have a crush to the opposite sex. But what if you have a crush with the same sex?

Yes people. I DO have my mancrush now. And yes, I'm NOT gay. Haha!

Who wouldn't have a crush Edward Cullen?

If you're a fan of the Twilight series, you probably know who Edward is. The book describes him as an impossibly beautiful human being. Standing 6'2" tall and having a slender but muscular built, he is a vegetarian vampire, meaning he does not feed on human blood. His skin is comparable to a marble - very pale, ice-cold and sparkles (Yes, people! He's a walking jewelry store! Hahaha!) in the sunlight. His eyes turn from black (when he's gloomy) to golden topaz (when he's ecstatic).

Just imagine how damn gorgerous Edward is. Gawd. If I just can be like him. Can't wait for the movie!

Keeping The Animo Burning.

2008-05-18T04:22:00.000-07:00

The Lasallian Personal Effectiveness Program or LPEP 2k8 has come to its end. It has been a ten-day rollercoaster ride of experiencing all the emotions a human being can experience. Name it, I've experienced it at LPEP. Fear, sadness, dissapointment, excitement and sublime happiness. Being part of LPEP as a Lasallian Ambassador has taught me many lessons I haven't learned in the four walls of my classroom.

Being a LAmb has taught me to step up in everything I do. In LPEP, you have to depend not only to your partner but as well as to yourself. You have to push yourself in doing things you never have imagined doing.

In LPEP, I have learned to be confident in front of other people. Orienting the froshies is no joke. You have to have that connection for them to feel welcome in the University and be friends to them but at the same time assert yourself because you know that they are your responsibility.

In LPEP, I have learned to be patient. Eventhough you're very very tired and angry because things don't go the way you plan it, you always have to smile and be happy because if not, it will affect the morale of the block.

In LPEP, I have learned to be responsible.

In LPEP, I learned to have fun while doing work. It's actually nice if you also love what you are doing because it gives you the drive to continue.

In LPEP, I found my second family. My LAmb family and my orientees: S13, EM, and LR23 are my family.

Now, let me say thank you to those people who have made my summer memorable:

To Ate Anna and Ate Lara, my orientors and inspirations. The reason why I joined LAmb because I was so amazed on how passionate they were in what they do. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be a LAmb.

To the Core who have made me feel welcome in the LAmb family. To Ate Joee for being understanding in extending deadlines because she understands that I am also a student.

My partners Cheer (my first partner: S13), Harmony (EM), and Pole (LR23) for all the fun moments we have shared and for the lessons I have learned from you all.

To the NFTs and LAmb Alumni who also made me feel welcome to the LAmb family. To Bench and Grace for always making the LAmbs laugh. :]

To the FTs who were always there whenever I need help. My UBE buddies (Gelli, Renz, Louie, Migxz and Xing) and KFC buddies (Meg and Bea) for keeping me company.

To my orientees, S13 (ICTM), EM (ECE), and LR23 (LIM). You guys give me the reason to wake up early in the morning and continue what I do even if I feel like I can't continue anymore. I hope I've made your LPEP very memorable.

God knows if ever I make it or not to LPEP 2k9. But I am happy that I have experienced this once in a lifetime chance. I am, and will always be, a Lasallian Ambassador happy to be in service for the Lasallian community.

To everyone who have made my summer super special, thank you. :]

Last one.

2008-05-16T02:03:00.000-07:00

Fourteen residency days.

Ten LPEP days.

Six colleges.

Two remaining colleges.

One day left.

Go LAmb 2k8! :]

Pissed.

2008-04-02T14:02:00.000-07:00

SCREW YOU! Grr.

I'm here at the Cybernook at the University Library and I'm standing so I can't make a decent post. I'll update later when I get back to Cavite.

Derecho SanTapat Dapat!

2008-03-06T02:39:00.000-08:00

In order for a community to function well, someone needs to step up in order to lead the community in their desired goal. That's the role of the leader. A leader is chosen either by consensus or by voting. The members of the community chooses their own set of leaders to govern them, to make their community the best it can be.

College politics is very different from high school politics. In high school, campaign was simple. You just go to the rooms and explain your platforms. Miting de avance is set the day before the elections. You state again your platforms and give the students a chance to ask anything about your platforms. They vote the next day and you wait for the results the next day. In college, campaign seems realistic as in the nationals. They have large tarpaulins. They do RTR in full gear, comprised of an ID, a shirt in their party color, and a well-prepared speech, plus their campaign managers and other loyal party members.

As the General Elections Campaign Period has started and the Voting Period is coming near, let us take a look at the two parties vying for a Straight or Derecho.

It's Team Tapat vs. Team Santugon.

Round 1: Roster

Team Tapat is fielding a tried and tested EB, comprised of incumbent officers Nicole Villarojo, current Vice President for Academics vying for the Presidency; Anil Ratanchandani, aspiring Vice President for Academics and current College of Education College Assembly President; Inah Garcia, current College of Science College Assembly President and running for Vice President for Activities; Gretch Santos, current FAST 2004 Legislative Assembly Representative as Vice President for Operations and Communications; Chichi Tullao, current BnE 2009 Legislative Assembly Representative as Executive Secretary; and Greggy Chua, current BnE 2007 Legislative Assembly Representative as Treasurer. Santugon, on the other hand, is trusting on girl power with their all female EB line-up. Leading the team is Agnes de Castro for Presidency, Aimee Chua for Vice President for Academics, Sars Santos for Vice President for Activities, Christine Santos for Vice President for Operations and Communications, Jessa Reña for Executive Secretary and Nadia Ong for Treasurer. They say efficiency comes with experience. Will the girls prove them wrong?

Round 2: Publicity Materials

Tapat does it in black and red. Santugon wants it blue and yellow. Who's got a good photographer? I'd give it to Santugon. Their images are very good compared to Tapat's somewhat blurry photos. The girls' good looks are a plus. But I must say that the Tapat poster at Z² café is catchy with it's "Revolution at your fingertips" tag line, with Nicole holding the team logo in her hands. Santugon puts extra effort with "I choose Derecho" shirts, CAP standees and other paraphernalia while Tapat keeps it simple. Will the materials take Santugon to a Derecho? Or Tapat's "simplicity is beauty" will win over?

Round 3: RTR Speeches

Vote straight Tapat. Vote straight Tapat. Vote for a just and free society. Newest LSS? Nah. It's the robotic, almost-perfected and well-crafted speech of Tapat during their RTRs focusing on their achievements in the Student Council. I still have to hear Santugon. But as my blockmates who have heard Santu's RTR said that they are pointing out the inefficiency of the present Student Council. As it appears to me, they are going down and dirty. Will Tapat remain unaffected or will Santugon win people's hearts?

Round 4: GPOA/SPOA
Tapat's GPOA focuses on the five-year-old plan of revamping the Student Council, while Santugon's SPOA remains pretty much the same with the emphasis on killing partisanship in the Student Council of, by and for the students.

Now, it's time to do your job. Vote for your Student Council EB. Vote not just because the candidate is your party-mate or the candidate is your long-time crush. Vote not just because you are pressured to vote a candidate you do not believe in. Vote because you know the candidate will contribute to the development of the Lasallian community. Vote because you feel the candidate's passion to serve the students. Vote because you know he/she deserves the position. Always remember to exercise your right to vote and, as the adage says, vote wisely.

Now, is it Straight or Derecho? See you at the polling booth.

Here we go again.

Why do I suddenly screw up when things go the way I want it to be? Why does that perfect moment have to be ruined? Why is life unfair to me?

Screw me. Screw life.

Grr.

Random. Urgh.

Yay! I finally had time to update my blog. Haha! Well, as you all know, school has been keeping me very busy these past few days. I had my major exams yesterday and I’ll be having another one next week. Also, we (my FILDLAR buddies) have to pass an American television show translated into Filipino and a video documentary. I’m lucky like that.

Anyways, I’m here at the Velasco computer lab to do my SPEECOM speech outline. I’m going to talk about blogging and I’m going to give a background about blogging in case they do want to start their own site since it is an informative speech.

Well, I’m going to wrap this up since I have to focus on making the outline and parts of the body. This post is just to inform you that I am still alive because I know you missed me. Haha! :] Anyways, if I still do have time after this I’m gonna post a blog entry about something that has been bugging me these past few days. It would be a ‘selected contacts only’ post so consider yourself very very lucky if ever you get to see it. Haha! No, it’s not about my love life because in case you don’t know, I am very very happy right now. :]

Till here!

Oh. And I wish Alexis Gayle Bacarra a very very happy birthday. I know it’s late but better late than never! :]

'Tis The Season To Be Jolly

A blessed Christmas everyone! :]

L'Hospital's Rule = WTF?

2007-11-25T22:09:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I've updated my blog. Well, a lot has been happening, but I don't know if I have all the time to tell you it all. Just watch out for my future posts to keep you updated about my life [as if anyone's interested. Haha!]

So, if you’re wondering what on Earth L'Hospital's Rule is, it’s a law on Calculus that my block mates Heidi and Bhong keeps mentioning. As of the moment, we are right here at the South Conservatory of DLSU because I’m doing the body of our research paper and the duo Heidi and Bhong are reviewing for their fifth Calculus quiz tomorrow.

Today was a pretty normal day. I left the house at around six in the morning and surprisingly the travel is pretty fast. I was hoping to arrive at DLSU early since we have a quiz at Geometry and I was lacking notes on circles and parabolas. Before going to Andrew Gonzalez Hall, I first went at Starbucks to get my daily dose of caffeine [and also to fill my promo card with stickers. 12 to go!]. Upon arriving at AGH, I immediately tried to borrow notes from Heidi and other block mates who are already there. Sadly, they don’t have notes on that topic so I have to settle with the reviewer that I’ve got from another section. At exactly 0910H, Sir Dugos arrived and the moment of truth had started. Mind you, the multiple choices were very painstaking since you have to solve each question! I’d be very happy if ever I passed the quiz.

TREDONE was pretty okay, since we’re viewing a movie entitled “Fiddler on the Roof”. I was laughing really hard with the funny scenes, and I was hooked with the songs! :] “TRAADIIITIIOOOONNN!!!” Haha!

After TRED, I had my lunch with Tim and Steph at SEx. There, we’ve talked about everything and anything under the sun. Then, I left them to fetch Heidi so that we can do our ENGLRES stuff. After that, we had our LBYMEEA class and it was pretty okay.

So yeah, that’s how normal my day is today. Haha! God, I’m starving! Probably after this, I’m going to rush at Mc Donald’s to eat.

Till here!

BTW, the rule is pronounced as lo-PEE-tal and not el-HOS-pi-TAL. :]

Free Cuts and Dilemmas

2007-10-18T03:25:00.000-07:00

No matter what I do, I always suck at making introductions for my entry. I don't know why. I'd type someting for a minute and so and after it I'll just carelessly slap 'Backspace' and I'll start blinking on the blank monitor. Come on, ENGLCOM, let me apply all the lessons you've filled my rotting mind!

--

I was planning not to attend my SOCTEC1 class early this morning because the class is getting boring every meeting. Instead of going to the ninth floor, I went to the Cybernook to upload overdue photos in my Multiply account. I was surprised to see my blockmate Maxinne inside. I though she has also skipped SOCTEC1 because she was doing her ENGLRES assignment. Around 10, (the class starts at 9:40 AM) I was thinking of going up and attending my SOCTEC1 class because I'm afraid that I might miss an activity which constitutes 10 percent of our final grade. Little did I know that the teacher has not arrived at the classroom and we had our free cut for today. I was relieved and spend the rest of the afternoon at the Cybernook. Lucky devil, eh? :]

I have a major problem right now. I don't know where to view this movie that our TREDONE teacher has required us to watch and make a reflection on it. My mom won't allow me to bring my lappy because she's paranoid that it may get robbed at me. The computer labs here at DLSU has no audio out. And I'm too shy to borrow my dorm mate's lappy. I really don't know what to do!

On the lighter side, Mariel Rodriguez (which is one of my ultimate crush) is inside the Pinoy Big Brother House. Yes, people, Kuya's kapitbahay is now his kasambahay! But no, she's not an official housemate. As Toni Gonzaga clarified yesterday night, she's just a Celebrity Houseguest. Still, no one knows when will she get out of the house. It gives me more reason to watch the teleserye ng totoong buhay ng mga sikat. :]

That's it for now! I really have to solve my problem regarding the TREDONE movie that I have to watch.

Toodles. :]

P.S.

Congratulations to Lexy! She's gotten an UNO in her Algebra! Now, where's the José Cuervo party? :]

Guess Who's Back?

2007-10-16T03:45:00.000-07:00

Guess who's back?

After n days (or probably months) of posting nonsense ~~sh*t~~ in my blog, I am finally back to the blogging world. Blame college for making my ~~pretty~~ life oh-so-miserable. And if you're wondering why am I writing in English is because I'm practicing my English Communications skills. So if you see any grammar lapses, kindly inform me. (WTH?)

So yeah, basically, college has been pretty tough. Second term here in La Salle can be called as the 'Hell Term', being the shortest one of the three. Why? A shorter term means shorter interval of quizzes, shorter time of discussion, and longer sleepless nights due to cramming a paperwork (in which I do not recommend for the sole reason of giving you big big big eyebags, and you end up getting an uno). But believe it or not, I love my second term here! New faces, new atmosphere, new (and tougher) subjects, what more can you ask for?

I love my ENGLRES subject. ENGLRES, or English Research, is a very tough subject. As my teacher puts it, (By the way, she's the coolest teacher I've ever seen! Running around DLSU with her heels and all her paperworks in one hand, it's a really really funny sight to see! Plus, she reminds me of someone, but that's a different story!) the minimum grade that you can get in this subject is the stunning UNO. If you ever get a 2, consider yourself lucky! And if you ever get a 4, man, you're the bomb! This subject has a very high mortality rate! One time, we had an exercise that we have to submit at Ms. Ayee's PBox and we saw the course cards that she had distributed last term. Almost three-fourths of the class got a double bagel (a zero point zero, in case you don't know), and only selected students got an uno. How fun is that? But, whatever it is, I still love this course. Only in this course I have realized the importance of the University Library! Imagine, I had started renting out books last week and it was my first time! And, I have memorized the Web OPAC by heart. LOL! If our house is my home and DLSU is my second home, the library would probably be the third. Haha!

Enough of the school stuff. The Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 has already started! Unlucky me, for I have to settle with text messages from my mom about the show since I go to a dormitory and the television is only on whenever it's UAAP or Zaido. Yes, people, my dorm mates love Zaido so much that they are almost willing to trade anything just to get a good signal from 8 to 8:30 pm. Going back to PBBCE2, I was right when I predicted that Victor Basa and Megan Young will enter the house (Because of that, I am a hundred bucks richer. Haha!). I am rooting for their love team. Although I predict that fellow Lasallian Enchong Dee will enter the house. Enchong is one of the ulitame crushes of Megan. Well, we have to wait and see. And, support Marylaine, the Lasallian 26K from Deal or No Deal. Am I a PBB Fanatic or not?

Well, that's it for now. I promise now to update regularly as much as I can. Peace out! =D

PS.

Sorry for the harsh words.

You know who you are, please stop reliving the UAAP La Salle Ineligibility Scandal. It's like dead for a year already and just accept the fact that TWO is greater than FOURTEEN. You can't do anything now. We have won the championship fair and square so please shut the hell up and be contented with what you have. ~~Sourgraper~~. =P

Anong Bago?

2007-09-25T04:45:00.000-07:00

Pasensya na kung hindi ako masyadong nakakapag-blog.

Alam niyo namang lahat na nagsimula na ang second term namin. Marami akong gustong i-kwento, pero gustuhin ko mang mag-update regularly eh lagi akong natatambakan ng gagawin. Patakas nga lang itong pag-uupdate na ito, habang ginagawa ko ang Powerpoint presentation namin para sa TREDONE.

Ano na ba ang bago sa akin?

Hmm, wala naman masyadong bago sa akin. Ganun pa rin naman. Medyo nasasanay na rin ako sa bagong schedule. Di na ako nakapasok sa maling classroom. (Yes people, nagkamali ako ng pagpasok sa classroom one time. Akala ko CHENONE pa rin, ayun pumasok ako sa A1207. Five minutes bago ko na-realize na hindi doon ang classroom ko.) At kabisado ko na rin ang schedule ko.

Lagi ko rin nakikita ang aking crush, si Iya Villania. XD Wala lang.

Natutuwa ako sa PE namin ngayon. Ballroom Dancing. Di ko maalis sa utak ko yung step pattern. *Step. Step. Step. Hop!* XD

Wala pa rin kaming matinong research topic para sa ENGLRES. To WiMAX or not to WiMAX?

At, kelangan ko pa palang gumawa ng assignment ko sa ANSOGEO after nito.

Sa Sabado na pala ang aming first Project Iplementation! Magiging teacher-for-a-day ako! Grabe, excited na ko!

Saka, Ateneo - La Salle Game sa Thursday. Nood kayo ha!

Sige, dito na lang at magpapaprint pa ko ng documents sa EGI.

Happy birthday kina Carl at Renee! (Sept. 26)

Still Alive

2007-09-10T22:22:00.000-07:00

Well, this post is just to inform you guys that I am still alive. Thank God. XD

Anyways, the second term has started and I'm kind of used to the schedule during our first term so I'm on a major adjustment phase now. Haha! I've met my professors (both terror and cool) and our section is pretty much dissolving now. I'll let you on a full story after the next few days. I am not on the mood to blog the latest happenings so just bear with me.

Wasted

2007-08-10T04:18:00.000-07:00

LSS: Rehab - Amy Winehouse

How would I start this blog entry?

Well, isang malaking himala kasi sinipag akong mag-update ngayon. Haha! Wala na kasi akong masyadong ginagawa kaya naisipan kong mag-update.

Anyways, this day has been a tiring one. Since walang pasok kahapon at umuwi ako ng Cavite, eh maaga akong nagising kanina since 8 o'clock ang classes ko. Masaya ako kasi namiss ko din yung paggising ng madaling araw saka yung pagcocommute. Siyempre dahil super excited ako, naligo ako kaagad, tapos nagbihis, tapos umalis na.

I arrived at Dasma Bayan at around 5:30 AM. Medyo maganda yung atmosphere. Ang sarap ng hangin! Smooth flowing naman yung byahe till we have reached Bacoor. Grabe ang traffic! 30 minutes kaming naka stuck bago kami biglang umandar. Eh ayoko pa naman ng traffic kasi nahihilo ako. E di ayun, as I've expected, ang normal na 1 hour ride from Cavite to Manila ko ay naging 2 hours. Nakarating na ako ng Manila around 7:30 AM and I've realized na kailangan ko pala munang dumaan sa dorm ko kasi nandun yung mga drawing materials ko, eh Friday is GRAPONE day.

After kong makuha yung mga materials ko sa dorm, eh derecho naman ako ng SPS Bookstore para bumili ng dalawang engineering drawing plates na gagamitin para sa GRAPONE at isang malaking test booklet para naman sa ENGALGE. Nung magbabayad na ako, nalaman ko na nagmahal na ang drawing plate! Ang dating P5.00 ay naging P5.50 na! Eh wala naman akong magagawa so nagbayad na lang ako.

After nun eh umakyat na ko sa Velasco Hall since magsastart na ang classes. Naging maganda naman ang takbo ng GRAPONE class. Salamat sa Diyos at di nagloko ang aking tech pen kaya yung plate ko kania eh isa sa mga pinaka-malinis kong plate (see my Multiply for pictures, but photos are for contacts only, so add up first! :D)

Tapos nun eh kumain kami sa Archer's Lair. Since pumasok na ang aming friend na si Romm na matagal ding naging missing in action, siyempre interrogate to the max kami sa kanya. Eh si Heidi na star-struck kay Romm, ayun napaso ng sizzling plate sa may siko. Tsktsk.

After nun eh punta na kami ng Andrew Gonzalez Hall since our next class is located there. Pagdating namin sa classroom, nalaman namin mula sa aming professor na si Dr. Borja na i-mo-move niya ang aming quiz from Friday (today) to Wednesday. Siyempre diba sayang yung test booklet na binili ko?

Then, after ng ENGALGE class eh sugod naman kami sa St. Joseph Hall para sa aming CHENONE Make-Up Class. Nung papunta na kami ng SJ eh may namataan ang aking mga mata ng kanais-nais sa may benches sa gilid ng Z-squared. Si Iya Villania, nag-aaral. Grabe, super ganda niya talaga. Para siyang barbie doll sa malayo. Moving on, ayun, nagklase na kami sa CHENONE. Tapos nun eh balik Andrew kami para naman sa TRIGSOL make up class. Puro kami make up class ngayong araw na ito. At yung supposed-to-be na 3 hour break namin eh naging ilang minutes na lang! Grabe, nakakapagod tong araw na to, so I was very happy nung nag-uwian na kami since babalik na naman akong Cavite.

So, bumalik muna ako ng dorm para iwan yung mga materials ko for GRAPONE then ako ay umalis na. Mga 5:20PM eh nasa Lawton na ako. Tapos nung nakapila ako, may sumisigaw ng pangalan ko. Nagtataka ako kung sino, yun pala mga high school batchmates ko pala. Nagkasabay-sabay na naman kami! What do you expect? Siyempre kwentuhan to the max kami. Ang ingay nga namin sa bus. Tapos nagchi-cheer pa kami ng kanya-kanyang schools gamit ang staple cheers. Siyempre papatalo ba naman ako, hindi no! Kaya ayun, nag Rektikano ako sa loob ng bus (minus the actions, haha!). Grabe ang saya namin, puro tawanan.

Pero sabi nga nila, all good things must come to an end. Matapos ang saya eh isa-isa na kaming nagsibabaan at naghiwa-hiwalay. Siyempre, pumunta na ako sa pilahan ng jeep papunta sa subdivision namin. Eh di nagbayad ako ng bente pesos. Tapos malapit na ako sa subdivision namin eh di pa binibigay yung sukli ko. Sumigaw na ko, "Manong yung sukli po ng bente, isang (insert subdivision name here) po, estudyante!" Pero walandyo, di nakikinig ang manong! Nakasampung ulit na yata ako nun pero di talaga siya nagpapatinag kaya bumaba na lang ako sa jeep nung nasa subdivision na namin. Imagine, twenty pesos yung binayad ko sa jeep?

At ngayon, andito na ako sa harap ng computer at nag-uupdate ng blog.

Ang dami ng naexperience ko ngayon no? Sige, dito na lang muna. Matutulog na ko. Inaantok na ako eh!

Ang random ko. Haha!

For now, I'd be going back to Manila since we now have classes. The long vacation is over! Wish me luck on our ENGALGE Final Quiz!

Nothing Special

2007-07-31T00:29:00.000-07:00

Uhm, this post is just for the sake of updating my blog. Nothing special.

C-O-L-L-E-G-E

College has been pretty fine this past few days. I think I'm getting back on track. Yay! Our ENGALGE quiz wasn't that hard. I was expecting it to be mind-boggling like the first and second one but thank God it was pretty tolerable. Frankly, I'm hoping for a high grade on this one.

TRIGSOL, too, is getting tolerable. And we are now allowed to use our calculators! Hooray! No more memorizations of special angles and cosine blahs!

U-A-A-P

For me, it was a dream come true, like Raymund's, when I watched a UAAP game live. Being there is way different when you're in TV. When you watch a game in television, you miss the action in between timeouts, the cheers of fellow Lasallians and the other teams, the halftime performances of the pep squads of the competing schools, and just the experience of being there. As MasterCard puts it (and according to me, of course!), Watching a live La Salle-Ateneo game at Araneta - Priceless.

S-T-O-L-E-N

To end up this oh so lame entry, lemme share to you my current LSS, Stolen by Dashboard Confessional. I'm totally lovin' their album Dusk and Summer!

You watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glamour have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart

Invitation only grant farewells
Crush the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart

And from the bar room floor we are a celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we are, we'll sleep well

You have stolen
You have stolen my heart

I watch you spin around in the highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel

You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart

Gotta go! I have to finish some school papers!

OMG! It's my first time to write in English! Haha!

reANIMOtion

2007-07-05T03:37:00.000-07:00

LSS: Won't Go Home Without You - Maroon 5

Siyempre diba naisipan kong mag update ng blog ko ngayon. Wala na kasi akong magawa. Nandito po ako ngayon sa A 17** (di ko alam yung room number) nag-uupdate kasi ayoko na magbayad ng pagkamahal mahal para lang makapag internet.

Anyways, masaya naman ang buhay Lasallian. Di ko muna itutuloy yung nakaraang post ko kasi may mga nakalimutan akong detalye. Gusto ko pag nagkwento ako eh detailed talaga. Ultimong paghinga ng ka-blockmate ko eh maisusulat ko. Okay, ang corny ng joke. Pasensya na. Haha! Kamusta naman ang mga subjects ko?

ENGLCOM

Masaya naman ang mga classes namin sa ENGLCOM (English Communication). Kaso, nagkakapasma na ako sa kakasulat ng mga essays. Ngayon eh nasa Process essay na kami. Tapos ko na yung Descriptive Essay na kasamang ilalagay sa aming mga portfolio. Ipopost ko dito yung essays ko tapos bigyan niyo ng comments kung paano ko pa maiimprove. Peer editing.

ENGALGE

Ang madugong Engineering Algebra. Alam niyo bang pinapatay na ako ng mga extraneous roots, squares ng trinomials, fractions, imaginary numbers at kung anu-anong involved ang numbers at signs? Bagsak ako sa first quiz dito. 50 out of 100 items. 55 ang pasing. Kamusta naman yun diba? Pero kelangan kong magsumikap dahil sayang ang tuition ko kung uulit lang ako ng subject. Pero, I'm getting the hang of it naman. Wag lang akong bigyan ng nosebleed. Haha!

CHENONE

General Chemistry. Gusto ko tong subject na to kasi feeling ko papasa ako dito. Madali lang naman kasi siya. Basically, halos lahat ng topics ay nai-take up na nung high school. Kaya wala akong masyadong problema dito. Naduduling lang ako kapag computation na at kelangan yung sagot mo eh tama ang significant figures. Tolerable.

TRIGSOL

Isa pang nosebleed. Trigonometry. Nakakatawang nag-engineering pa ako pero ayoko ng math. Nagugulumihanan lang ako dun sa mga inverse trig functions saka dun sa proving trigonometric identities. Ewan ko. Siguro talagang pinanganak na akong hindi kasundo ang sine at cosine. Haha! Bagsak din ang first quiz ko dito. Pero todo ang saya ko nang minsang ma prove ko ang isang identity. Pero MINSAN lang mangyari yun. Sana lang talaga maipasa ko to.

FILKOMU

Filipino. Actually, wala kaming general topic sa subject na ito. Parang kung ano lang ang mapag-usapan namin sa araw na yun eh yun na ang lesson namin. Patawa rin ang professor namin. Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan si Oscar at si Manong Bumbero.

PERSEF

Personal Effectiveness. Natutuwa ako sa class na ito kasi napakarami naming pinag-uusapan. Mapa-college, pag-ibig, etiquette, at iba pa.

LBYCH11

Chemistry Laboratory. Natutuwa ako sa mga experiments. Siyempre, elibs na elibs ako pag nag-iiba yung kulay ng liquid na nasa loob ng test tube. Hindi kasi namin nagawa yun nung high school. Mga basic lang ang ginagawa namin kaya pag Lab na, maririnig mo kong sumisigaw ng WOOOW! kapag nangyayari na yung reaction.

GRAPONE

Engineering Graphics. Hindi kami magkasundo ng drawing, pero salamat naman at di nagmumukhang ipis na bagong gahasa ang mga drowing ko. Pinagpala pa rin pala ako ng Diyos ng mga kamay na di nanginginig kapag nagdodrowing ng straight line at hindi napapasma para di maglukot ang plate ko.

Yun lang naman. Kung may mga nakalimutan akong mga subjects eh ikukuwento ko na lang sa susunod kong post.

PEP RALLY 2K7

Sa July 7 na ang start ng UAAP. At ang aking school ay magbabalik na sa kompetisyon! Bilang paghahanda sa UAAP, nagkaroon ng Pep Rally sa Ampi entitled ReANIMOtion: The Green Light is Back On. Siyempre, may band na nagperform, ang Kala. Grabe, hands down ako sa kanila. Ang galing nilang mag perform ng live. Tapos nandun din ang aking pinakamamahal na si Iya Villania. She was just millimeters away from me. Hyped na hyped ang feeling ko nun na parang pwede na kong mamatay. Nahihiya lang akong magpapicture with her kasi maraming tao. Pero kung wala, naku, aandar na ang pagiging true-blue fan ko. Ayun, nagperform lang ang DLSU Pep Squad, LSDC Street at iba pa. Pinakilala din ang mga varsity ng DLSU.

So, hanggang dito na lang muna. Ihahabol ko na lang yung mga pictures o di kaya eh nasa Multiply ko lang yun.

Animo La Salle!

Animo Jumpstart

2007-06-30T00:43:00.000-07:00

After 10 years, napag-isipan ko na ding mag update ng blog. Wala kasi akong masyadong ginagawa ngayon. Saka one month na ako sa college, hindi ko pa nakukuwento ng detailed ang mga nangyari sa akin. Kaya ito, sinipag akong mag-type. Yung karugtong baka magawa ko next week. Mag-aayos pa kasi ako ng gamit ko. Mag do-dorm na ko! Independent na ko! Yay!

Sabi nila, sa UP mahirap ang Science. Sa Ateneo, mahirap ang math. Sa La Salle, mahirap ang parking. Mali sila don. Kasi ang Math sa La Salle, pumapatay.

Pero bago tayo pumunta diyan eh ikukuwento ko muna sa inyo ang mga pangyayari bago ako naging ganap na Lasallian.

Confirmation - April 10, 2007

Maaga kaming umalis ng bahay para kunin yung card ko. Since April 11 talaga ang official release date ng card eh nakiusap ang si Mama na kung pwede na daw kunin ang card ko since requirement yun for confirmation. Ayun, napagbigyan naman ang request niya kaya diniretso na sa Director's Office ang card ko para pirmahan. Mga 9 na yun natapos, after nun sumakay na kami ng bus papuntang Quirino. Mga 11 na kami nakarating ng La Salle so we decided na kumain muna sa Mc Donald's since nakita naming maraming nakapila. After nun, dumeretso na kami sa Andrew Gonzalez Hall tapos kumuha kami ng number. We were number 632 and ang number pa lang na tinatawag is numbers 401-410. So imagine kung gaano kami katagal na nakapila dun. Nakita ko dun si Fred Payawan ng PBB Teen Edition. If I'm not mistaken eh sa College of Business and Economics siya magpapaconfirm. Ayun, nung tinawag na yung number ko eh pumasok na ako sa loob ng College Admissions Office para ipasa yung requirements at nagbayad sa Cashier tapos kinuha ang NSTP Form, Parent/Guardian on Record Form, High School Achievement Form, Non-Fraternity Contract Form, map ng La Salle at ang Freshman Enrollment Procedures. After nun umuwi na kami.

Enrollment - May 4, 2007

Since naka schedule ang mga apelyidong nagsisimula sa A hanggang K na mag-enroll from 8 to 12 lang ay maaga na naman kaming umalis ng bahay. Pagdating namin sa La Salle ay dumeretso kami sa Marilen Gaerlan Conservatory para hanapin ang aking section at ang aking ID number. Sayang at hindi kami magkablock ni KP kasi block EN siya. Ako block EM. So, pumunta na ako sa North Wing para ipasa ang mga forms ko then nagbayad sa cashier tapos bumalik uli ng North Wing para kunin ang Student Enrollment Record ko kung saan nakalagay ang schedule ko. After nun eh inambush interview ako ng isang Lasallian Ambassador na nagngangalang Dianne. Natulala ako kasi ang ganda ganda niya. Haha! Matapos ang konting chikahan ay pinep talk na niya ako tungkol sa mangyayaring Lasallian Personal Effectiveness Program 2007 or mas kilala sa tawag na LPEP o kaya Froshie Orientation. Tapos nun eh umuwi na ako.

Medical and ID Picture - May 10, 2007

Maga din akong umalis ng bahay since nakaschedule ako ng 9 am. Pagdating ko sa La Salle eh sarado pa ang SPS kaya tumambay muna ako sa Amphitheater. Tapos naglibot-libot pa ako sa La Salle. Then nang nagbukas na ang SPS eh dumeretso na ko sa Waldo Perfecto Seminar Room para gawin ang first stage ng medical, ang interview portion. Tapos nun eh pumunta naman ako sa University Clinic kung saan nagaganap ang tunay na aksyon. I'll end the medical story here and I'll leave it to your imagination kung ano talaga ang nangyari dun sa loob. XD After ng medical ay nagpunta naman ako sa LS Hall para magpakuha ng picture. Walang pila sa labas kaya kumatok ako sa pintuan. Pinapasok naman ako sa loob ng room at nakita ko ang mga estudyanteng nagpapalit ng damit. Requirement kasi for the boys na kailangang naka polo shirt with tie. Eh wala akong matinong polo shirt kaya ang sinuot ko eh yung long sleeves kong green at SpongeBob necktie ko na sinuot ko nung JS Prom. Pagkatapos kong magpalit eh umupo na ako dun sa upuan malapit sa may photographer. Mga ilang minutes din akong naghintay tapos eh ako na yung sumunod. Hindi ako na-satisfy sa unang take kaya pinaulit ko. San ka pa? Natawa nga si kuya nung sinabi ko na "Kuya, parang pilit yung ngiti ko diyan." Ayun, after ng medical at ID picture taking eh dumaan ako kina Lexy bago umuwi. Nagkaroon nga kami ng mini pictorial session. Dalawin niyo na lang ang site niya. pero, for contacts lang yung mga pics niya so add her up first.

Dito na lang muna. :D

Pep Rally na sa Wednesday. Opening Ceremonies ng UAAP sa Sabado.

We're back, We're One La Salle.

Happy Birthday kay Keina Jane Banaag Silva!

Chill.

Busy sa buhay Lasallian. :P

The Week That Was

2007-04-09T05:42:00.000-07:00

LSS: Ikaw Lamang - Silent Sanctuary

Well, sa wakas at nakapag update na naman akong muli. Nakalimutan kong sabihin na in observance of the Holy Week, eh hindi muna ako mag-uupdate. Kaya yung mga napunta dito na walang nakitang update this past week, sorry. Pero alam ko namang sanay kayo na walang update sa aking site. Haha!

So, medyo naging busy ang week na ito para sa akin, although nagkaroon ako ng time to relax and reflect noong Good Friday. So, isa isahin na natin ang mga nangyari sa linggong ito.

Sunday, April 01, 2007 - Palm Sunday

Maaga kaming nagising ngayon para magsimba. Alam naman kasi nating lahat na kapag mga ganitong okasyon eh super jampacked ang simbahan. Pero kahit maaga kaming nagising at umalis, wala ring nangyari dahil pagdating namin ng simbahan ay puno na ito hanggang sa labas. Bumili kami ng apat na palaspas bago pumasok sa loob ng simbahan. Dahil nga puno, medyo nahirapan kaming makapasok. Eh claustrophobic pa naman ako, tapos yung nanay ko siksik to death talaga para lang makapunta sa gitna kaya naiwan ako sa may malapit sa entrance ng church habang ang nanay ko ay nasa gitna na ng simbahan. Ayun, nakatayo ako nung buong mass. Tapos, after ng mass siyempre siksikan palabas. Nainis ako dun sa lalaking tulak ng tulak. Kitang kita naman na mabagal ang paggalaw ng mga tao eh tulak parin siya ng tulak sakin. Tinitigan ko na siya pero wala pa ring nangyari. Tapos nakakainis pa yung mga taong nagpupumilit pumasok eh may 10 minutes pa naman bago magsimula ang mass kaya hindi makagalaw ng maayos ang mga naglalabasang tao.

Kaya hindi umaasenso ang Pilipinas.

Monday, April 02, 2007 - General Practice

Wala namang masyadong special na nangyari sa practice namin. Dun na kami nagpractice sa EAC Gym kasi last day na ng practice. Ang tagal nga naming nagstart kasi maedyo marami ring na late. Tapos takbo rin ako ng takbo para hagilapin ang mga classmates ko na nagscatter sa buong EAC para papirmahan ang PE t-shirt ko na magsisilbi kong remembrance. After ng general practice eh pumunta naman kami sa ICA Plaza para kunin ang caps at invitations namin. Tapos tumambay kami sa kwek-kwekan.

Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - Graduation

The moment of truth. Mga 3 o clock pm pa lang eh nandun na kami sa EAC grounds. Ayun at exactly 4 eh nagstart na ang program. Everything went fine naman. Grabe yung mga awards na pinamimigay, Puro may nakakabit na pangalan ni GMA tapos may pirma ng mga senatorial candidate. Ginawang campaign ang graduation. May Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Certificate Of Excellence in blah blah blah na may pirma ni Senator blah blah. Tapos yung President ng ICA Alumni na tatakbong councilor ng Dasma eh sumimple pa ng campaign. Grabe! Pero masaya na kami nung singing ng Finale Song. Tapos naiyak ako nung iooffer mo ang diploma at flowers mo sa parents mo. Geez. Napaka-hina ko sa mga ganun. Mabilis ako maiyak dun. Tapos todo na ang pagkanta nung ICA Hymn na saka Graduation Song. Tuwang-tuwa ako dun sa "Fare thee well (fare thee well), ICA high (ICA high)" part. Tapos recessional na.At kung nakarating ka na sa part na ito eh ilagay mo sa comment mo, kung mag cocomment ka man ang salitang "cheese". Then, hanapan na ng mga classmates para magyakapan, magpalitan ng souvenirs at magpaalam sa isa't isa. Hinanap ko si Karen para makapag picture kami pero sadyang mailap ang tadhana at hindi kami nagpang-abot.

Tapos, may nalaman ako nung grad! May HD (hidden desire) sakin yung isa kong classmate. LOL! Ganito kasi yun, e di time na namin para magpaalam, nakita ko siya tapos nag buhbye kami sa isa't isa nang bigla niya akong niyakap sabay sabing "Hindi mo lang alam kung gaano kita kamahal." and I was like "Huh? Talaga?" (while in state of shock) tapos sabi niya "Hindi ka galit?" tapos ako "Hindi. Gulat lang." tapos nagrequest siya "Pwede picture tayo." sagot ko naman "Oo." tapos bumanat ulit siya "Pwede pa-hug one last time?" and sabi ko "Sure. Why not." tapos sabi niya "Sana magkita ulit tayo." sabi ko "Oo. Sa centennial ng DLSU. Haha!" tapos yun.

Kapagod ba? Grabe talaga yun. Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan yung tagpong yun. At in fairness, umabot ang hair ko hanggang EDSA. LOL!

Hindi nga ako nakapagpaalam sa KANYA. Ewan. Hindi ko siyang kayang lapitan. Hindi ko pa kaya. At alam niyo kung ano yung masakit? Nakita ko siyang kayakap ang boyfriend niya ngayon tapos mukhang napakasaya niya. Right then and there, gusto kong kainin na ako ng lupa. Ang sakit nun. Para kang binalatan ng buhay tapos binuhusan ng alcohol.

Konting picture nung grad!

Thursday and Friday, April 05 & 06, 2007 - Maundy Thursday and Good Friday

Nagkaroon lang ako ng time to relax and reflect. Yun lang. At nag enjoy pala ako sa panonood ng marathon ng Gilmore Girls at 7th Heaven.

So, marami-rami ring nagyari sa nagdaang week.

Vote for my friend Alexis at the 2007 Candy Teen Blog Awards. You can vote here!

So, hanggang dito na lang. I have a major y!m session with my good friend Joanna. Till next time! :D

On Graduating

2007-03-30T01:30:00.000-07:00

LSS: Keep Holding On - Avril Lavigne

Gusto ko nga pala mag-sorry sa aking "unannounced hiatus." School has kept me busy this past month.

March na. Dati, pag nakakakita ako ng mga signs na "Congratulations, Graduates!", balewala lang sa akin. Hindi naman kasi para sa akin yun. Pero ngayong nagsi-sink in na sa akin na this is my Senior Year at pag dumadating na ang mga signs na ganyan na usually may nakadikit pang mukha ng politician, ibig sabihin niyan ay nalalapit na ang pagtatapos ko ng high school. Before the school year has officially started, inisip ko na na darating yung araw na gragraduate ako. Hindi ko lang na-imagine na ganito pala kabilis. Parang kelan lang nang magkita kita ulit kaming magkakaklase after summer break. Parang kahapon lang nangyari yung field trip, prom, camping, historical trail, intrams, at iba pang school activities. Ngayon, graduation na.Ang bilis talaga ng panahon. Bukas makalawa, college graduation na naman.

You only graduate at high school ONCE. Cherish it. Yan ang lagi kong naririnig na statement since magsimula kaming mag-practice for graduation. Parang nakakatakot sa pandinig. Kasi pagkatapos ng graduation, may sari-sarili na kaming mga buhay. Ang dating hindi mapaghiwalay, mapapadpad na sa ibang lugar. Meron pa ring masa-stuck sa Dasmariñas, may mapupunta sa Manila (isa ako dun!), sa Makati, sa Los Baños. Pagkatapos ng graduation, hindi na namin alam kung kelan pa ulit kami mabubuo. Nakakatakot mang isipin, hindi kami sigurado kung magiging kumpleto kami sa Alumni Homecoming 10 years from now. For sure, may mga hindi pupunta. Hindi naman kasi maaalis yung fact na may maiiwan talaga sa batch namin in terms of success. Pero sana pag dumating na yung Alumni Homecoming namin eh makumpleto kami.

Ngayon lumalapit na ang petsa ng April 4, hindi ko maiwasan na matakot. Hindi ko kasi alam kung ano ang in-store sa akin after high school. Ano nga kaya ang mangyayari sa aming magkakaklase pagkatapos ng ilang taong pinagsamahan, iyakan at palitan ng yakap sa graduation. Sabi nga nila, "Live each moment as if its your last". Ngayon ko lang napatotohanan ang adage na yan. At dahil gragraduate na kami, gusto kong magpasalamat sa mga taong naging bahagi ng aking makulay na buhay high school. Simulan na natin.

Salamat sa Maranatha Christian Academy na naging tahanan ko nung first year ako. Marami akong magandang ala-ala sa eskuwelahang iyon. At dun din ako unang natutong mag-swimming. Salamat sa mga aral.

Salamat sa tropa ko noong first year ako, sa TYOPISCO. Kina Rachelle, Joy, Leny, Karriza, Luigy, Gerson at Mona, sa pagpapatawa sa akin nung malungkot ako. Sa mga bonding moments, sa lahat lahat, salamat.

Salamat sa Ann Marris Montessori School na naging tahanan ko naman nung ako ay second year. Kagaya ng MCA, marami rin akong naging ala-ala sa paaralang ito.

Salamat sa Rock Royalties. Kina Khatt, Kei, Yen, Lexy, Pau at Nei sa mga magagandang ala-ala. Sa mga panahong kailangan ko ng masasandigan ay nandiyan kayo. At magpasahanggang ngayon ay nariyan pa rin kayo. Salamat sa bonding moments! Nasa akin pa din yung journal. Di ko nga matapos yung mga pinaglalagay ko dun eh. Haha!

Salamat sa Immaculate Conception Academy (partikular sa West Campus) na naging tahanan ko sa aking junior at senior year. Salamat sa paniniwala sa aking mga kakayahan at talento. Salamat din sa mga aral na natutunan ko sa loob at maging sa labas ng apat na sulok ng classroom.

Salamat kina Kuya Jervis, Ate Chelina, Ate Zherma, Kuya Dominic, Carina, Luigi, Joanna, Keina, Louie, Frances, Paolo at Czarrose sa pag-iinvolve sa akin sa Competitive Cheerleading. Malamang kung hindi ako napasama sa ICA pepsquad ay na-miss ko ang half ng aking high school life.

Salamat kina Ate Toni, Sir Yuri at Mam Monforte sa pagtitiwala sa school paper, sa ICAZETTE at Brainwaves. Sa pagpasa ko ng trono kay Sarah Enobal at Danica Dy, sana ay gawin nila ang buong makakaya nila upang ipagpatuloy ang mga nasimulan ng nasabing mga pahayagan.

Salamat sa Chocobois, kina Ram, Ghon, Von, Darren, Robert, Ian, Carlo, Jun Mark, Archie at Ranielle, sa pagpapatawa sa akin nung mga panahong malungkot ako at kahit sinira niyo ang calculator ko, binalik niyo naman sa akin ng maayos na.

Salamat kina Kim, Jam, Joyce, Lea, Mariel, at Dida sa lahat lahat. Kayo'y mga tunay na kaibigan. Sinamahan niyo ako sa pagtawa, pagluha at lahat lahat na. Sana ganon pa din sa college kahit malalayo na tayo.

Salamat sa mga magulang ko sa paggapang ninyo sa pag-aaral ko. Pinapangako ko pong lalo ko pang pagbubutihan sa kolehiyo.

Salamat kay God kasi lagi siyang nandiyan para sa akin. Siya ang best-est friend ko. Salamat kasi binibigay niya lahat ng mga kailangan ko at lahat ng mga bagay na ikabubuti ko.

Marami pa kong gustong pasalamatan. Kaso kulang na ang mga salita. Basta sa lahat ng naging bahagi ng buhay ko, maraming maraming salamat!

Maraming bagay din akong ma-mi-miss sa ICA:

Kwek-kwek at palamig
5th floor
Classroom
Faculty Room (may tv kasi dun, at nanonood kami ng Spongebob!)
Canteen at canteen benches
EAC! Kahit ganun yun, mamimiss ko yun!

I-she-share ko na lang sa inyo ang lyrics ng aming graduation song.

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
no I won't give in

Keep holdin' on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just, stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say (nothin you can say)
Nothing you can do(nothin you can do)
there's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late
This could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side
I will fight and defend ah ah
I'll fight and defend, yeah, yeah

Keep holdin' on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just, stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

Hear me when I say
When I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be
Will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....

La da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holdin' on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say
nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
Keep holdin' on
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
Keep holdin' on
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

I passed UPCAT! =)

Haay, ang saya saya! Hindi magkahumayaw ang seniors sa school nang malamang out na ang results ng UPCAT. Eh ang tagal pa naman niyang mag load, kaya no choice but maghintay hanggang sa bahay magcheck. By luck, nagload sa akin ng medyo mabilis, at voila! I passed UPCAT!

UPCAT passers, congratulations!

BTW, I'll try to make an update mamaya. Long test week na kasi. Kailangang mag-aral. Hehe. But I'll try.

Gotta go to school!

The Moment Of Truth

2007-01-17T06:07:00.000-08:00

NCAE na pare.

Gotta go to school. I'll probably edit this later, with my bittersweet field trip post and my super miserable day yesterday making gigantic sample sheets for NCAE.

Seniors, good luck!

LSS: It Ends Tonight - All-American Rejects

Sa wakas ay muli akong nakapag-update. Sobra kasing dami ng inaasikaso sa school. Ngayon eh talagang nararamdaman ko nang senior ako. Pero hindi ako nag-cocomplain, kasi alam kong ma-mimiss ko lahat ito pagdating ng college. Roughly, 81 days na lang at matatapos na ang lahat ng ito. 81 days na lang, graduate na ako ng high school. 81 days na lang, goodbye Cavite, hello Manila na. 81 days na lang, independent na ako.

Anyways, tama na ang senti mode. Bukas (actually mamaya maya na!) na pala ang field trip namin. Yung excitement ko humupa kanina nang malaman namin na ang buong St. Andrew ay hahatiin at mapapasakay sa iba't-ibang buses dahil sa pagrereklamo ng ilang 2nd year student na akla mo e mas makapangyarihan sa amin kasi ayaw nilang magkahiwahiwalay sila (&@^%!^&@&@!!! Nasira ang araw ko dahil sa inyo!). Siyempre, hindi naman kami makakapayag nun. Ayun, reklamo to the max kami kay principal. Kaso matigas ang "the decision is final" ni principal (miski yung anak niya na classmate namin eh hindi magamit ang charm). Kaya ang napagdesisyunan ng buong klase kasama ang aming pinakamamahal na adviser na si Mam Cobilla, maagang pumunta sa tapat ng DLSU-UMC para makasakay sa bus at walang babaan! This will be one heck of a field trip. Anxious ako sa magiging resulta ng engkuwentrong iyon. Shucks, bumalik ang excitement ko! Haha.

Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit napakabusy namin ngayon sa school ay dahil sa nalalapit na NCAE. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ibinalik pa ito, marahil ay alam ng mga opisyal ng DepEd na gagraduate ang isng Mark ngayon kaya nila ito ibinalik. Parang ayaw ata ako pagraduate-in ah! Anyways, bahagi ng review ang paggawa ng "improvised" na answer sheet. Isang malaking manila paper (exxagerated kasi magpagawa ng improvised answer sheets ang mga teachers namin, isang buong manila paper) na bibilugan mo ng tig apat na bilog sa isang grupo gamit ang bente-singko sentimos na barya. Gagawa ka ng 310 na grupo ng tig-apat na bilog, which means na 1240 circles ang kailangan mong gawin araw-araw. Tapos pag nag dry run na eh super hassle kasi tutupi-tupiin mo yung manial paper dahil sa laki nito at mauubos lang ang oras mo sa pagshe-shade ng bilog. Nakakatawa nga eh. Lagi akong nabobobo sa Manipulative Skills. Hilong hilo ako lalo na dun sa dice. Ewan. Pero natutuwa ako sa Clerical Ability test. Kasi kahit malabo yung mata ko, mataas yung score ko. Haha!

Sa Wednesday na nga gaganapin ang NCAE namin. Ka-exchange school namin ang St. Jude Academy. Sana hindi strict ang magiging proctor namin. eto nga pala yung breakdown ng minutes namin:

General Introduction (3 minutes)
Examiner's Descriptive Questionnaire (10 minutes)

PART I TEST PROPER
Reading Comprehension - 60 items (80 minutes)
Manipulative Skills - 30 items (20 minutes)

Recess (15 minutes)

PART II TEST PROPER
Mathematical Ability - 60 items (70 minutes)
Clerical Ability - 20 items (10 minutes)

Lunch Break (30 minutes)

PART III TEST PROPER
Scientific Ability - 40 items (40 minutes)
Verbal Ability - 60 items (60 minutes)
Non-verbal Ability - 30 items (20 minutes)
Entrepreneurial Skills - 30 items (20 minutes)

Total time: 378 minutes

Wish ko lang ay makasurvive ako sa NCAE! =)

Share ko lang ang schedule ng school namin for the last quarter of the school year, para may idea na rin kayo kung bakit hindi ako nakakapag-update:

January 13 - High School Field Trip
January 17 - National Career Assessment Examination
January 19 - Miss ICA Coronation Night
January 26 & 27, February 2 & 3 - Math, Science, General Information and Spelling Quiz Bee
February 16 - Junior Senior Masquerade Prom

March 7, 8 & 9 - Periodical Examination
Second Week of March - LITMUS: Literary Musical (tentative)
March 12, 13 & 14 - Comprehensive Examination
April 3 - Graduation

Siyanga pala, may bagong addition sa sidebar ko. Ang "Wishlist" section. Wala lang. Naisipan ko lang idagdag.

O siya, aayusin ko na yung mga dadalhin ko bukas sa field trip. IMAX, here I come! (Oo, sa MoA ang field trip. Ilang beses na ako nakapunta diyan, pero first time ko sa IMAX, kaya medyo excited! Haha!)

Farewell, '06! Hello, '07!

LSS : If We Fall In Love - Yeng Constantino and RJ Jimenez
^ Adik na ako sa Princess Hours.

Kahit pumasok na ang year 2007 (time check : 3:18 AM, nakikipagpuyatan kasama si Lexy) eh hindi magpapahuli ang Makeenetics sa paghahatid ng year-end special nito. Tayo ay magbabalik tanaw sa isa sa mga pinakamagulo at pinakamakulay na taon sa buhay ko, ang 2006.

Sa nagdaang taon ay marami ang natutunan ko at nagbago sa akin, di man sa panlabas ay sa panloob naman.

Natuto akong maging pasensyoso at pag-isipan ang mga bagay na gagawin ko. Dahil walang magandang patutunguhan ang pagmamadali at ang paglalaro sa isang desisyon
Natuto akong ngumiti at maging masaya sa kabila ng mga problema na dinaranas ko. Panget naman na ikaw lang ang mukhang kawawa, diba?
Natuto akong seryosohin ang mga bagay. Dahil minsan lang dumating ang oportunidad, at kung ititrip mo lang ito ay baka mawala at hindi na bumalik.
Natuto akong tignan ang brighter side ng lahat ng bagay.
Natuto akong i-accept na hindi ko kayang i-please ang lahat ng tao. Ang kaya ko lang ay ang magpakatotoo at kung hindi ka nila matanggap sa kung sino ka talaga ay problema na nila yun at hindi na sayo.
Nalaman ko na marami palang bagay na hindi itinuturo sa school at ikaw ang bahala kung gusto mong matutunan ito o hindi.
Nalaman ko na love is supposed to make me happy, not stupid.

Marami rin akong mga bagay na naexperience na bago para sa akin.

Na-experience ko na mag-camping for 3 days na walang liguan. (Scouting Camp)
Na-experience ko na malasing, ng sobra. At mag-chinese.
Na-experience ko na magising for 36 hours.
Na-experience ko na ma-televise. (Shooting ng Maging Sino Ka Man sa Dasma. Extra. Eksena nina Sam at Bea. 3 seconds lang ang exposure ko at nakadale ako ng 200)
Na-experience ko mag JS Prom.
Na-experience ko ang hardcore cheerleading action.
Na-experience ko ang hindi makapagtake ng exam dahil sa late. (And to think na first time ko lang nun na-late)
Na-experience ko ang magpunta ng Manila mag-isa.
Na-experience ko ang hagupit ni Bagyong Milenyo sa gitna ng bayan ng Dasmariñas, malayo sa aking tahanan. (Astig nung lumilipad na signage.)

At sana sa taong 2007 ay maging maganda, makulay at masaya ang taong ito sa akin.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! =)

Share ko lang ung pics ng fireworks na nakunan ko.

Back From An Unannounced Hiatus

2006-12-26T23:05:00.000-08:00

LSS: Love You Lately - Daniel Powter

^ Cause I'm the one that loves you lately. You and me we've got this great thing.

Sa wakas ay sinipag na rin akong mag-update. Na-miss mo ko? Hehe. Thanks kay Lexy na kinulit ako upang mag update ng blog. So, bakit nga ba ako nag-hiatus? Eto yung ilang mga dahilan:

First Inter-School Science Camp
USTET
Projects
Third Periodical Exam
NCAE Review
PDA Grand Dream Night
Quiz Bee Reviews
Parties, gatherings, etc.
At marami pang iba

Minsan nga, gusto ko nang patigilin ang mundo. Ang dami-dami ko kasing ginagawa. Konti na lang yung oras ko para magpahinga. At kasama na ito sa pahinga ko, ang pag-uupdate ng blog ko. Kung saka-sakali, eh baka tumama pa si CJ na pag nagkaroon na ng prime minister ang Pilipinas eh hindi pa rin ako nakakapag-update.

Anyways, I know it's pretty late but its better late than never, diba?

MERRY CHRISTMAS! =)

Kamusta naman ang Pasko niyo? Well, ako kahit papano ay masaya naman. Sanay na rin ako kasing wala ang tatay ko kapag Pasko, although mas masaya pag nandito siya. Nagka-chat kami ni Lexy ng 24th at sinabi niya sa akin na mag-iinuman sila. Sayang at hindi ako nakasama, pero baka hindi na rin ako makauwi pag sumama pa ako. Hehe.

Nung napadaan ako sa ilang mga blogs, eh laging mayroong wishlist. Syempre, ako ba magpapahuli? Kahit tapos na ang Pasko eh hindi pa tapos ang spirit ng gift-giving. Kaya kung wala ka pang regalo sa akin, eto ang ilang mga bagay na nasa list ko. Yung mga naka-strikethough eh nakuha ko na.

Princess Hours DVD. Shet, naaadik na ako kina Shin at CG!
Shirts sa ~~Artwork~~ or Tonic
Levi's or Penshoppe Jeans
Green and Blue Chucks
Sony PSP o kaya Nintendo Wii. Bata pa ako. Hehe.
iPod Video
Yung latest na Sony Handycam
Patrick Star Plush. Para may kasama na si Spongebob ko.
CK Eternity for Men o kaya Polo Sport Perfume
CDs ng ~~The Fray~~, MCR, Bamboo at ~~Sponge Cola~~
Domain or ~~subdomain~~
Laptop
Drum set

Well, that's basically makes my list.

Moving on, malapit nang matapos ang taon. Parang kailan lang nung huli kaming magpaputok. Ilang araw na lang eh magpapatuok na naman kami. Ang bilis ng panahon no? At kung senior kang katulad ko, three months na lang ay haharap na tayo sa pinakabagong pagsubok sa ating buhay, ang COLLEGE LIFE. Sa totoo lang, hindi pa ko handa. Hindi pa ko handang iwan pero pag nakaabot ka na sa parteng ito ay ilagay mo sa iyong komento ang salitang 'goong' ang high school. Hindi pa ko handang iwan ang saya, kalayaan, kaibigan at minamahal *uyy, intriga!*. Pero excited na rin ako sa magiging buhay ko after high school. Excited na ako sa buhay Maynila. Kaso, hindi ko alalm kung makakapasa ako. Next week pa malalaman. Haay. Pray for me.

Late greetings!

Happy birthday Ian Santos [Dec. 12], Jamilla Mae Navales [Dec. 18] and Niñabelle Santiaguel [Dec. 25]
Happy Second Monthsary, Makeenetics! [Dec. 21]
Merry Christmas! [Dec. 25]

'Till here. Off to go bloghopping!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! =)

My New Year's resolution? Secret. =P

[edit] Grr. I hate our internet connection. A pure crap. Paano ba naman, it would connect then after 30 minutes eh mag-didisconnect. Ang dami ko pa namang ka-chat kanina. Grr. Malapit nang mag Princess Hours. Wee. Nood ka ah! [/edit]

Happy Monthsary, Makeenetics!

2006-11-21T06:28:00.000-08:00

LSS : Fergalicious - Fergie feat. Will.I.Am
^ So delicious. Haha.

Happy FIRST MONTHSARY sa aking blog! Sana magtagal na ang blog na ito.

This will be a quick update. Tatapusin ko pa kasi yung research paper ko. Grabe na ang pagpapahirap sa akin nun.

And, hindi pala ako makakapag-update this Thursday to Sunday kasi I would be very very busy. From Thursday to Saturday, I will be at the Inter-School Science Camp. Sunday naman is the schedule of my USTET.

Tapos, nabalitaan ko kanina na ang ICA Pep Squad, joined forces with the ICA Dance Troupe, ay sasali sa Dasmariñas Day Street Jazz Dance Competition. Magkakaroon na naman kaming buong squad na mag bond muli. Saya!

Dito na lang, kailangan ko pa talagang tapusin yung research paper ko. Medyo mahaba pa ang kailangan kong isulat.

So delicious. Haha.

The Journey to UST and Inter-School Camping

2006-11-19T05:42:00.000-08:00

LSS : Silent Night by Spongecola
^ Malapit na ang Pasko! Magkakapera na naman ako! Haha!

Sometimes what you put on is sexier than what you take off. What a statement mula sa commercial ni Nicole Scherzinger (tama ba spelling?) for Bench Body. Wala lang, naastigan ako.

Anyways, moving on to the main idea.

Thursday. The journey to The Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas : The Catholic University of the Philippines.

Maaga akong nagising sa bahay kasi Parallel Courses namin ngayon. At since hindi siya ginagawa sa campus namin, kinakailangan kong umalis ng mas maaga as usual dahil traffic sa Aguinaldo Highway papuntang Emilio Aguinaldo College. Habang naghihintay ako na umandar ang jeep, napansin ko na yung driver ng jeep eh nagsindi ng sigarilyo at humithit, not knowing na may sign sa ulo niya na nakalagay eh NO SMOKING. Nabanas ako, kasi naglagay-lagay yung manong ng sign na yun tapos siya mismo hindi yun susundin. Nakakabanas, diba?

Well, moving on, since half day lang kami ngayon (isa lang ang subject namin. 4 hours yun. Malupit, no?), napagdesisyunan ko na magtungo sa UST para ipasa ang aking Application and Grades Form. Akala ko may sasabay sa aking mga classmates ko, nagkamali ako. Kaya pupunta ako ng UST mag-isa. Oo, mag-isa. Bale yun yung first time ko na lumuwas patungong Maynila nang nag-iisa. Kaya kinabahan ako. buti na lang at dala-dala ko ang ever trusty "Guide to Commuting at Manila" book na nabili pa ng tatay ko sa ibang bansa.

Alas-dose ng makasakay ako ng bus papuntang Lawton. MTV mode naman ako nun nung nakaupo ako sa may bandang window. Eh, naambon pa nun, kaya nagkaroon ng drama yung MTV ko. Parang may hinihintay na kung ano. Pagkatapos kong mag-MTV, binasa ko na yung ever trusty "Guide to Commuting at Manila" book na nabili pa ng tatay ko sa ibang bansa at nakita ko na malapit pala sa LRT station ang UST kaya nagdecide ako na bumaba sa Baclaran para mag LRT, since it's hassle free saka matitipid ko pa yung oras ko. Dahil for sure, congested ang traffic sa España. Ayun, pagbaba ko sa Baclaran, kinabahan ako kasi may sumunod na lalaki sa akin. Napadasal ako bigla. Unang beses ko sa Maynila mag-isa, posible na unang beses akong manakawan. Buti na lang, nailigaw ko yung lalaki. Mabilis kasi ako maglakad. Di siguro siya nakahabol. E di ayun na nga. Nakarating ako sa Baclaran LRT Station at bumili ng ticket. Habang naandar ang LRT eh nag-aaliw aliw ako sa pakikinig sa mp3 player ko. Bumaba ako sa Bambang station. Tapos nag tricycle ako papunta sa UST Dapitan Gate.

Hindi naman ako nahirapang hanapin ang Main Building. Malapit lang kasi siya sa Dapitan Gate compared sa España Gate na sabi nila kailangan mo pang mag alay lakad para marating yung Main Building. Hindi ko naiwasang mapa-wow sa mga nakita ko. Astig yung design ng Main Building ng UST. At nakakita ako ng mga naglalaro ng soccer sa grandstand kaya na-excite ako. Pag sa UST ako pumasok, sana ang PE namin eh puro soccer na lang. Anyways, na-love at first sight ako sa UST. Hindi ko inakalang ganoon kaganda yun. Kumuha ako ng number sa may guard at naghintay ako dun sa may shed.

Pagtawag ng number ko, pumasok kaagad ako. Napa-wow na naman ako sa interior ng Main Building. Napaka-ganda. Kaya medyo natagalan pa ako pumila kasi nakatingala ako. Pagdating ko dun sa may inspection, nakalimutan kong lagyan ng pangalan yung picture ko, kaya pinasulatan sa akin yun. Hinanap yung birth certificate ko, chineck ang form ko at pagkatapos nun eh pinapunta na ako sa may mga computer for encoding. Ang saya ng encoding part. Na-elibs ako. Hehe. May COLLADO nga na nag-register din. Astig. Tapos nung encoding part eh pinapunta na ako sa cashier upang magbayad at kung binasa mo talaga tong pagka haba habang post na ito eh ilagay mo sa iyong comment ang salitang signum fidei. Tapos nun eh nakuha ko na yung permit ko.

At kung ikaw ay mag tetake ng USTET sa November 26, 2006, St. Raymund's Building Room 212, 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, eh sabay tayo.

Meanwhile, may Inter-School Environmental Science Camp pala kami this coming November 23, 24 and 25. It would cost me P950. Sinabi lang sa akin yun nung Friday. At ang deadline ng payment, nung araw ding iyon. Sana payagan pa akong makasama kahit bukas pa ako magbabayad.

Spongecola would be on SM Dasmariñas this 25th. After ng camping yun. Paraan ko na rin yun ng pag-rerelax para nasa tamang mind frame ako pag nag take ako ng USTET.

So, dito na lang.

Ciao!

LSS : Nothing in this World - Paris Hilton
^ Love the song. Love the video. In love with Paris Hilton. XD

Matagal din akong hindi nakapag-update. Medyo kasi naging busy ako sa school. Ang dami-daming ginawa. Saka may sira yata yung connection namin. Banaman, bigla siyang magdidisconnect after 20 minutes. Naka-broadband naman kami. Hindi ko maintindihan. SMART! Ayusin niyo buhay niyo. Joke.

Sisimulan ko na yung kuwento ko. BEWARE. Medyo mahaba ang magiging post na ito. At super random. Kaya kung mahihiluhin ka eh wag ka nang tumuloy. Kung may lakas ka ng loob na basahin ang entry na ito, salamat sa iyong oras.

SCHOOL

Simula ng nagsimula ang pasukan after ng All Saint's Day vacation eh tuloy-tuloy ang mga pinaggagawa namin. Nagsimula na ang 1st Long Test week namin. In fairness ay madali ang long tests namin ngayon. Naperfect ko ang English! Kahit mahilo hilo ako sa figures of speech, subordinate clauses at research paper eh naperfect ko ang exam. Yung iba eh hindi ko naperfect, pero perfect na kasi may incentives kami kasi nga nag-champion ang cheering squad namin last intramurals. See, it pays to be a cheerdancer!

Nagkaroon na rin ng campus-wide voting for the next cheercaptain next school year. At ang potential cheercaptains next year ay sina:

Janine - nagstart siya sa cheering nung sophie siya. Dancer lang siya nun at ngayon eh flyer at lifter na. Automatically, siya na dapat ang cheercaptain, kaso ayaw ng mga ka-squad ko sa kanya. Kaya nagkaroon ng botohan.
Myel - youngest member ng squad and a sophie. Kakastart lang niya this year and kung may Best Rookie award eh mapupunta sa kanya yun. Akalain mong natuto siyang pumitik sa ere in just an hour? Lupet no. Kung di mo alam yung pitik, eh yun yung kapag tinoss yung flyer eh either mag totoe touch, pike or tuck siya sa ere.
Maann - junior newbie. Magaling sumayaw. Malupet na lifter kapag walang backbase. Super friendly.

Kung ako ang masusunod, eh si Janine ang cheercaptain. Ang problema kasi sa kanya eh masyado siyang bossy at hindi siya open sa mga suggestions. Saka pinagkalat niya na siya na ang cheercaptain next year (which is totoo sana, kaso may botohan) kaya nabanas si Carina, ang present cheercaptain. Sina Myel at Maann, okay sana kaso kulang sila sa experience compared to Janine. At if ever si Myel o si Maann ang mananalo, baka sumama naman ang loob ni Janine, kasi natalo siya ng mga newbies. Haay. Hindi pa ako nakakaboto. Sino kaya ang iboboto ko?

Yung research paper ko grabe na ang sakit nag ulo na ibinibigay sa akin. Tapos na ako sa 10-page first draft ko. And guess what, kailangan ko siyang i re-write muli para sa second draft. After non, third and final draft saka ko itatype yun at ipiprint. Pamatay diba. Help me God.

Last Saturday eh nagkaroon ng Talent Night ang Miss ICA candidates. Ang pambato naming si Maria Cristina Maribbay ay nag harlem. Lupit no? Ang lakas ng audience impact. Kinabog ang impact ng ibang candidates. May nag bellydance, baton exhibition, egyptian dance nag hula, nag ballroom, at ang pinakamabenta, kumanta with matching live band na pasakit ang tunog dahil sa bukbuking sound system. Kulang na lang may kumain ng buhay na manok at lumunok ng apoy eh peryahan na. Pero wala parin tatalo sa pambato namin. Astig ka Bibay! Saludo ako sa iyo!

Since last year na namin ito sa aming beloved Alma Mater, eh napagdesisyonan naming magkaroon ng Kris Kringle. Ang theme para sa unang linggo ay "Something Unusual". Nabunot ko noon si Carina. Since kikay siya, hindi ako nahirapang hanapan siya ng regalo. Isang bote ng cutics na nag-iiba ng kulay pag tinignan sa iba't-ibang anggulo. Gustong-gusto niya yung regalo ko sa kaniya. Ang daming nainggit, kaya nagpalagay sila ng cutics kay Carina nung recess. Kung nakaupo ka sa upuan ko at nakaabot sa bahaging ito ay lagyan mo yung comment mo ng salitang adsum, yung mga babae sa bandang harapan ay may violet na fingernails while yung nasa gitna ay yellow at ang mga nasa likod naman ay pink. Ganoon ka astig yung cutics na binigay ko.

Samantala, laugh trip kami sa room habang nagpapalitan ng regalo. Literal na unusual ang mga regalo sa isa't-isa. Sa adviser namin, baterya (kasi Physics teacher siya at may activity kami about batteries). May sinulid, patola, sabong pampaputi, curator's pen (na makikita lamang ang sulat gamit ang UV light), sanitary napkin, whitening cream at kung anu-ano pa. At marahil nasa akin na ang pinaka unusual na regalo. Isang black na teddy bear. Oo. Black na teddy bear. Unusual? Kung yung teddy bear ay may hawak na isang box ng condom. Oo. Condom. Sinong nagbigay? Ang prinsesa ng buhay ko. Oo. Siya nga. Marami tuloy yung nag-isip na kaya condom yung binigay niya kasi gusto niya ng alam mo na kung green ang utak mo. Ang explanation niya eh wala siyang maisip na ireregalo kaya condom, yung teddy bear pakonsuwelo de bobo na lang daw. Reaksyon ko? Nagulat, natawa at natakot. Nagulat at natawa kasi di ko inexpect yun. Natakot kasi pano ko sasabihin sa nanay ko na condom ang natanggap ko. Conservative pa naman yun. Pero natawa ako sa reaksyon ng nanay ko nung malaman niya. Sabi niya, "Kelan mo balak gamitin yan?" Napanganga ako at natawa.

HOME

Kung pupunta ka sa bahay namin ay damang dama mo na ang simoy ng pasko. Nakalabas na si Santa Claus, naitayo na ang Christmas Tree, ang bakod ay nalagyan na ng Christmas Lights. Don't you just love the Christmas spirit? Regalo ko ha!

Anyways, hanggang dito na lamang dahil alam kong mahaba na itong post na to. Aayusin ko pa yung research paper ko. At mag-aaral na ako sa Calculus. Dudugo na muli ang utak ko.

HAPPY nTH SA TATAY KO! Ayaw niyang ipabanggit yung edad, nahihiya daw kasi siya. Hehe. I love you dad! :)

Ciao!

LSS: What I've Been looking For - Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Gabreel
^ Still got the High School Musical Fever.

First post for the month of November.

Wala namang interesting na nangyari sa buhay ko this past few days. Although may mga spooky na nangyari, tolerable naman siya unlike dati na kahit saan ako lumingon ay nakakakakita ako ng mga bagay na hindi nakikita ng ibang tao. Oo, may talent akong ganoon. Saklap, no?

Anyways, super hilarious ang pangyayari sa loob ng Academy kahapon. yung mga teachers ang nagperform para sa mga scholars. Ang ganda talaga ni Teacher Gege. Haha. At natawa ako kay Rosita, feel na feel niya ang pagiging manananggal. Kinilig naman ako kina RJ at Yeng.

Nakita niyo ba ako sa Super Inggo? Just joking. Si Kristoff Abrenica ang tinutukoy ko. Marami kasing nagsasabi na kamukha ko daw si Kristoff kaya minsan ang tawag nila sa akin sa school eh Kris. Kamukha ko ba talaga?

Nagdesisyon na ako na hindi ako papasok sa school bukas. Balita ko kasi kaunti lang ang pumasok kanina sa school. Kaming mga 4th year eh walang pasok kanina since 1 lang ang subject namin ngayon at sabi ng teacher namin di daw siya papasok. Baka kasi ako lang ang pumasok bukas. Yung kapatid ko nga eh 3 lang daw sila sa classroom. At walang patawad ang teacher kasi nagklase kahit 3 ang estudyante.

At dahil super random ng post kong ito, napagdesisyonan kong maglagay ng "10 Random Things about ME!"

I see what other people dont see. Hindi ko alam kung paano nangyari pero nagsimula yun nung nag-aral na ako sa ICA. At ang unang nasilayan ko, isang batang nakaputi.
Ambidextrous ako. I write with my right and play badminton with my left.
Nagsasalita ako mag-isa. Pag bored na bored, nagagawa kong magsalita mag-isa. With matching imaginary friend pa.
Kasabay ng pagsasalita mag-isa ay ang paglalakad mula sa gate ng subdivision namin hanggang sa bahay namin. 6 kilometers yun. At nagsisilbi na ring form ng exercise ko.
Adik ako sa reality shows. Name it, I watch it. Kahit pa napaka-corny niyan basta reality show, di ko pinalalampas yan.
I spend 30 minutes (weekdays) or an hour (weekends) showering. Kaya kapag magkapatid tayo, kailangan mong mauna kung ayaw mong ma-late kapag may appointment ka. Ewan ko, pero ang sarap ng feeling ng malamig na tubig kaya nawiwili ako sa loob ng bathroom, hindi ko na tuloy napapansin ang oras. Minsan pa nga, nakatulugan ko yung pagkuskos. Swear!
I have the biggest toenail in the whole class. Namangha yung mga classmate ko ng minsang mag-tsinelas ako papasok ng school. 2 thumbnails daw nila sa hand yung toe thumbnail ko. I know they're exxagerating.
I have a weird phobia. Takot ako sa mga taong naka bonnet at shades. Kaya takot na takot ako sa classmate namin nung sophie days. Longi ang codename niya (Longi = ilong). Pag pumorma siya ng naka-bonnet at shades, mukha siyang kidnapper.
I never played basketball in my whole life. Yung may kalaban. Marunong ako mag b-ball. Pero never pa akong sumali sa laro, kahit pag P.E. Siguro takot din akong mabulag, at sobra-sobra na ang grade ko sa P.E. (cheerdancer kasi ako).
I color-coordinate my boxers with my pants/denims. Kapag white ang pants ko, white ang boxers ko. Pag school days, blue. Ang dahilan, kapag nabutas eh di halatang may butas. :P

So, till here na lang. Medyo mahaba na rin itong post ko.

HAPPY SIXTEENTH GHON KRISTOFFER PULIDO!

Let me end this post with the lyrics of my current LSS, What I've Been Looking For.

Ryan:
It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see

Together:
You were always there beside me
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold
But you were always right beside me

Sharpay:
This feelings like no other

Together:
I want you to know

I've never had someone that knows me like you do
the way you do
I've never had somone as good for me as you
no one like you so lonely before i finally found
what i've been looking for

Sharpay:
So good to be seen
So good to be heard

Together:
Don't have to say a word

Ryan:
For so long I was lost
So good to be found

Together:
I'm loving having you around

Ryan:
This feeling's like no other

Together:
I want you to know

I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before, I finally found
what I've been looking for

Together:
Doo Doo DooDoo
Doo Doo DooDoo
Do Do

Woa-ah-ah-oh

You know who you are. I love you sooo much. <3

Ang lakas ng trip ko ngayong araw. Akalain mong ma-hook ako sa pag-reresearch sa internet. Wala lang. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung ano yung nangyari sa akin. Pero iba talaga yung feeling ko nung mga panahong ako'y nagreresearch ng information sa internet. Siyempre, sa Wikipedia ako nagresearch. Ayoko narin pahirapan yung sarili ko na mag search sa napakahabang listahan ng search engines. Ang dami ko ngang natutunan ngayon. At ang ilan sa mga ito ay:

Ang munisipyo ng Dasmariñas, Cavite ay ang tanging munisipyo na parehong may SM at Robinsons Mall sa buong Pilipinas.
Ang Ateneo De Manila University ang kauna-unahang unibersidad na nagpasimuno ng cheerleading sa Pilipinas.
Sa University of Santo Tomas, ang mga freshmen at transferee students ay required na dumaan sa ilalim ng Arch of the Centuries bilang initiation rites dahil ito ang "Gateway to the history of the finest breed of Filipinos."
Si Rafael Buenaventura, dating tagapamahala ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, at isa sa mga top bankers sa buong mundo, ang responsable sa pagkakatanggal sa Pilipinas sa FATF black list.
Ang Manila Light Rail Transit ay ang kauna-unahang metro rail transit sa buong Southeast Asia.
At marami pang kapag naalala ko ay ipopost ko dito.

On the other hand, disappointed ako sa naging results ng last Expulsion Night ng Pinoy Dream Academy. Natanggal na ang isa sa mga magagaling na scholars sa loob ng bahay, si Iya Ginez. Bakit ganoon, kung sino pa yung mga talentado at deserving na manalo eh yun pa yung natatanggal. PDA is meant to be a singing competition, not a popularity contest. Kapag nawala pa si Yeng, ewan ko na lang.

And, if you still have extra oras, why don't you read this so kainis yet so funny blog of Cofibean. I'm very sure, you will enjoy reading every post. Warning though, from his disclaimer: Please don't make basa my journal if you find this offensive. Go browse disneyland.com instead. Hope I made it clear. Now, if you still comment on my site, it only means one thing -- you are really one stupid bobo orc!

Halloween is approaching! What are your plans? Share mo naman!

Till here.

I passed the DLSU-DCET!

Masaya ako kasi napasa ko yung exam. Nilaro ko lang kasi yung pagsagot ko ng test kasi hindi ako nakapag-aral. Kasi, Friday nasa South Campus ako para sa Inter-School Math Quiz Bee (hindi ako contestant, tagatulong lang kami dun) then dun na ako natulog kasi Environmental Science Camp ng mga elementary students. Since over-all officer ako ng Science Club, nagsilbi akong facilitator ng camp. Siyempre, pag magkakasama ang mga magkakaibigan, magkukuwentuhan yan hanggang umaga. So hindi ako natulog ng dalawang araw. Natapos yung camp by Saturday. E ginawa ko pa yung mga projects ko sa Statistics, Economics at Algebra. Mga ala-una na ng madaling araw ako nakatulog ng Linggo. Exam day na. 9:00 ng umaga ang exam ko sa Julian Felipe Hall Room Number 310. 8:00 ng umaga ako nagising. 8:00 ang usapan naming magkakaibigan na magkikita-kita kami sa 7-Eleven. Ayun nagmadali ako. Muntik ko na nga maiwan yung permit ko. So ayun. Nakarating kami ng DLSU-D at 8:56 ng umaga. Buti at pinapasok ako sa room. At sa awa ng Diyos, eh naipasa ko ang exam.

Moving on, sa Wednesday na ang All Saints Day. Uuwi ba kayo? Ako? As usual, dito ulit ako sa bahay. May pasok na kasi ng November 2. Yup, may pasok sa NOVEMBER 2. Astig, diba? Wala pang sem break yan ha! Kami lang yata ang tanging school sa Pilipinas na walang sem break. Kung meron man, pare-pareho tayong minalas. Haha. Pero mas mabuti na rin na may pasok. Kesa naman maburyong ako sa pagtunganga sa bahay. Mas mabuti nang nagsosolve ako ng math problem kesa maghugas ng pinggan.

Sige dito na lang, gagawa pa ako ng research paper ko.

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

^ Weird LSS!

THIS WILL BE A POST IN TAGALOG. Pigang-piga kasi ang utak ko ngayon, at hindi naandar ang english-generating part ng brain ko. Special exams kasi namin ngayon. Special exams kasi hindi kami nakapagtake ng exams last last Wednesday due to the Provincial Cheering Competition (na kapag naaalala ko ay nanggigigil ang buong pagkatao ko, kukuwento ko na lang kapag nagka-time ako). English and Physics ang tinake namin today. 1st time kong nag-special exams. Kaya excited na excited ako. English was pretty easy. Physics was a real nose bleeder. Nagka-hemmorhage yata yung utak ko. Nakakawindang yung problem solving especially the Projectile. Nakalimutan ko kasi yung mga formula so talagang nangapa ako ng todo todo.

Then, nagpunta kami ni Luigi sa South Campus para magtake ng Math test. Kailangan kasi ng representatives ng ICA for the Math Competition na gaganapin sa DLSU-Dasmarinas. Well, nakapagtake na ko ng test sa North Campus, eh kailangan pa daw magtake ng panibagong test kasi pagsasamahin ang scores ng 1st and 2nd tests para madetermine ang mga magiging representatives. Sabi ni Sir Paez, basic Mathematics lang daw yun. Hell yeah! ~~BASIC~~ MATH nga siya. Unang tanong pa lang eh nahirapan na ako. Good thing eh yung iba nadadaan sa common sense, kaya nasolve ko siya.

And ICAZETTE is out na! ICAZETTE is our official school publication. So, if you're an ICANIAN dapat may copy ka na ha!

Till here na lang! Ipapahinga ko muna yung utak ko. Ciao!

The Coconuter

2006-10-22T07:31:00.000-07:00

Is it “Nothing ventured, nothing gained?” or “Nothing ventured, nothing lost?” Most people run away from turmoil. I, in this particular situation, am running into it on purpose and willingly. Most people go through some kind of scenario in life where they are peer-pressured into, analogically, “jumping off a bridge.” Well, in this case, everyone's telling me not to “jump” (and logic and reason is on their side), but somehow I feel like I was meant to dive into the pit anyways.

Almost every Filipino wants to get out of the Philippines. It is a small and densely populated nation where more than 85 million drowning people are clawing at each other for a gasp of air. They want to run away from their diseased third-world country, plagued by starvation, crime, low wages, political corruption, poor economic growth, and terrorist attacks, just to mention a few. They all yearn to go abroad, usually because of the desire to live in a more civilized nation where life is relatively safer, is more comfortable, is more financially secure, has modern medicine and technology, has a higher quality of education, etc. Well, I had this and more. And then I sacrificed it all. I have let go of the comforts and financial ease of living in the US, a full scholarship to an Ivy League US college, and essentially the whole American Dream in order to become a modern nomad in the Philippines. I, a half Filipino half American raised in the US, now will be facing life in a turmoil-infested third world country, and I am doing so willingly. Furthermore, as this trip is a leap of independence and an emphasis of self-sufficiency, I am going there without any family or external support and without any extra money or belongings except what I feel are necessities for survival. What led to this? I kind of know, but it’s hard to explain completely. My instinct tells me my birthplace, the Philippines, is my “safe haven” although in reality going there may prove to be my undoing. I am clouded by visions of “striking gold” in a country where everyone tells me nothing glitters. I am trying to find what it is I am meant to do in life, and even though everyone tells me I am wrong, my heart still tells me that my purpose lies within the Philippines.

-David Eric Poarch

I've watched Bernadette Sembrano's "Nagmamahal Kapamilya" yesterday. And a coconuter, named David Eric Poarch, was featured. I've never read any of his blogs before so my initial reaction about the feature was based mainly on well, the feature itself. At first I thought he was just another crazy guy with too many options and opted for a life away from comfort, and then when he hit the worst phase of his "nomadic" life, he'd go back to being the "achiever" that he was (see his resume, and you'll say, what the hell was he thinking?"). I'm feeling a bit of a bitterness too because unlike him, there are just so many people with limited options, no choices, and will just have to work their way to get through a day. He was one smart, over achieving good looking guy. People will kill to have that. Whereas he, on the other hand, gave that all up to what, live in "provincial" Philippines, taking care of his chickens and what he has.

Which is why, out of curiosity, I came about his blog. Im not done reading it yet, but I think I can now quite understand where he's coming from. To that, I applaud him.

It's really touching and inspiring for us to know that someone gave up almost everything just to follow his heart.

May he find that perfect coconut that he's been looking for.
