welcome to my cocoon

quarter life

2012-01-09T10:00:00.014+08:00

I'm currently browsing through different airlines in search for more low fares to Bangkok. If you haven't known yet (you probably don't have facebook or *twitter, which is impossible. because even unborn kids have those already), that's the "in" thing nowadays: cheap airfares. everybody's everywhere. and it's a good thing really because we are starting to explore the world more, especially our country.

I'd like to write more about the newly launched tourism tag: I'ts more fun in the Philippines. but maybe i'll do that next time.

For now, let me share to you my 2012 plans. (yep, it's TWO-ZERO-ONE-TWO already!) I'm turning 24 this year! and since I'm not planning to live until 100. and according to the Chinese, 2012 is year of the Dragon, same as the year I was born. I declare this is my quarter life already.
party like, like it's the end of the world. party like, like it's 2012 :)

PLAN A: YACHT party.
I think I have wished, planned, considered, pleaded for this ever since I learned how to spell yacht. (meaning, not so long ago, haha) :P
Before, someone told me I need 150K to rent a yacht. so I thought I needed around 200K to have a party like that. But I recently learned (thanks toni!) that I only need 60K to have this dream party. yep, 60K is still a lot of money but that's more attainable now, dba?? :D

before i get to my Plan B. I'd like to share also that I just deleted a drafted post about having to save money and controlling my spending because I just bought my own car. yup yup, that's right, I'm proud that at 22 I was granted a bank LOAN to pay for a car. her name's RUBY. she's a red hyundai accent. I'm still in the process of acceptance that for the next 3 years, a chunk of my salary will go to this piece of metal. hihi. of course, i won't be able to get Ruby without the help of my mum. thanks mumi! :P so back to the post about saving and not spending too much --- that got deleted. it's in the internet trash already, never to see daylight again, coz i haven't been doing that really. lol.

Plan B. BANGKOK 2012.
My cousin and I really wanted to go to Bangkok this year. I've been tagging it since last year "Bangkok 2012" even with my friends. Unfortunately though, she decided to postpone it and focus on her studies this year. I agreed at first. But then last week, while writing down flight schedules for my mum and some relatives for their Singapore-Kuala Lumpur trip. I suddenly realized I still want to go to Bangkok this year and I can do it with friends and on my birthday! yay!

i think Plan B is more practical and realistic. so I'm starting my planning now. I invited my bff, Joyee, who's bday is just 2 days ahead of mine. told her to save 2k a month until September and we're good to go. :) I'll probably invite more friends and I'm officially in the look out for cheap fares :)

I don't love traveling, but it loves me!! I get this tingly feeling every time I hear plans of out of town or even in-town (invented word?!) trips. and you know how students can't sleep the night before their field trip, that's me! totally! Plus, early horoscopes for this year says, Libras will go places this year. i know I've done a number of trips already, especially last year, why stop now right?

I'm planning to write at least one blog of all the places I've been, hopefully before 2012 i will be able to post them all. I'm still thinking of how to post them in a different way, coz I know there are tons of travel blogs out there already and i don't even know how to change the font properly on this thing. lol (toni, help!)

wish me luck! and i wish your 2012 will be filled with tons of things that make you tingly too :)

rising action

2011-07-12T14:56:00.003+08:00

as life has it's constant run of dramatic structure, which are falls under: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and denouement (resolution).

this week has got to be a major rising action for me. and as not to spoil the climax, i am not withholding any information on this, lol, as if.

but really, everything's really exciting for me lately. so keep your finger's crossed with me, will ya? :P

so why blog about it?? just releasing happy hormones to everyone. i hope you're all excited for something, as i am :)

sukli.

2011-06-16T14:51:00.004+08:00

change is inevitable.

things change.

people change.

but the hardest thing about change is when it happens to a loved one (family, friend, partner) and it leaves you out.

you are placed in a position whether to accept the change or deviate from it. meaning you either keep or loose the relationship. either way, you can't expect things to be like as before. largely because you are dealing with a completely different version of that person already.

adding insult to injury, you don't know why it happened (or sometimes you do, but you can't believe/accept it) and worst, what you can do about it. and the hardest choice probably is to do nothing and just to let it go.

but, in the end it boils down to never forgetting what you've been through and continuously praying that the future will be brighter for the both of you, whether you will spend it together or not.

***

lies - the best way to ruin any relationship is to fill it with lies.

lies hurt.especially selfish lies. lies that are told for the benefit of only one party.

lies and karma. are hand in hand, so make sure to use it wisely.

lies, a for letter word that is as powerful as another four letter word, love.

lies?

lies!

rennaisance

2011-06-12T08:28:00.005+08:00

rebirth? sort of.

well thanks to toni, i was reminded that i had this blog and all the fame it brought me, lol. as if?!
but really, being published in a 6x5inch portion of a magazine is something right?! double lol

anyway, so here's a brief update on my oh so twisted life.

so i've been travelling.

In January, i went to Cebu with my party girls aka college friends aka of-course-its-more-fun-with-alcohol group :P for the Sinulog Festival which was really crazy crazy fun.
we got to try the island banca cruise, sky adventure @ crown hotel and of course, night-outs cebu style. we didn't miss to take photo ops at historical sites and tourist spots and even managed to do a lil shopping in between.

In February, Mum and I were living in Tagaytay for more than two weeks coz mum was assigned in Amadeo. We got to jog in the morning, enjoy the breeze, attend mass in the afternoon and the fun part, check out hotels and try different restaurants in Tagaytay. I was able to invite my good friend, Joy, to spend a couple of days with us. While mum reported for work, we drove around and have coffee. We felt as if we weren't in the Philippines coz weather during this time was simply nice. Cold but not raining.

My summer was indeed productive as well. Good thing my aunt and cousin decided to come over for the summer so we were 'obliged' to take them around. A good excuse to roadtrip and spend a lil if you ask me ;) We were able to go for a swim in Matabungkay, Batangas. Join in the festivities of the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon. I finally even got to enter Manila Ocean Park (coz you know I wouldn't if i had to pay for it myself).

the highlight of my summer was probably BORACAY (oo naman!) lol.

it was my first time in the island and it didn't disappoint me that much. haha. well, coz people were saying that it's not as beautiful as before, but point is, it is beautiful!

Now, i could disprove those who would say that they have beaches/sands like Boracay. coz believe me, it’s not like any other. The sand of course was number one. It was so fine, it’s like lying in satin cloth. I love how the sun doesn’t get too hot even if the sun was scorching. And when you are in Boracay, you will forget you’re in the Visayas coz most of the people were either speaking in English or Tagalog already. Yep, I confirm it, it may have persuaded me to make it a summer must do to go there every year. I understand now why my friends keep on going back though it seems like they just do the same things over and over. You will really party like no other, party til you drop, party til the sun is up and whatever else party quotes you know. you can do it in Boracay. Our only wish was that we stayed longer or we never go home. :P

And to cap off my summer and welcome the rainy days, well, actually to celebrate my mum and bro’s birthday, we did our usual (haha, as if. Well it’s the second time we did it. Maybe we can make it a yearly thing.*fingers-crossed*) two-city tour. We went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia first then Singapore. One of the highlights of this trip was riding Singapore Airlines, they say one of the best in the world, and i must concur. although running thru Changi Airport was exhausting because our flight got delayed, no thanks to the rain.

So yep, we went around Kuala Lumpur and maybe around 3-4 times if i may say so, coz we were in a hop-on hop-off bus, which was pretty cool. Just for 38MR it's a 24hour pass to see the sites, the bus will stop at every spot and you can get off and catch the next bus after 30-40mins., if u still wanna look around and take more pictures. The walking, running, 'hopping on and off' was worth it coz we really got a good hotel. Pacific Regency Hotel & Suites - just across the KL tower. so taxi and restaurants were not a problem. We even spent a day in Genting Highlands (Resort World), although I wasn't impressed with the place. The rides were not well-maintained even scary/do not look safe at times. There located too was First World Hotel, one of the biggest hotels in the world with 6000+ rooms. plus, we just had to try the cable car, one of the longest in Asia. Mum enjoyed the trip most coz of the wide selection of non-pork items. That's why when we got to Singapore, i just had to have some roasted pork from a chinese resto. hihi.

Though it's not my first time in SG, I really looked forward to try out the Singapore Flyer and visiting Universal Studios. although I'm a big coward, I still manage to convince myself to do things I may never do ever in my life again. So, my bro and I tried the different rides, including yep, Battlestar Galactica. I was totally shaking after the ride I could only try the 'Human' part. the 'Cylon' - feet hanging roller coaster, may just be too much for me. But maybe if my friends were there and they convinced me, I might have tried it. coz soul-displacing rides are just awesome, lol.

anyway, my biggest issue with SG was that the exchange rate was almost 1:1 with US dollar. gosh?! that's why shopping there is still costly. I think we should really try Thailand next year, hopefully by that time too I have more savings to spend. :P

speaking of savings, (haha, just to cut it short) I'm finally in the position to save again. yay! yep, started work last week. academic, non-teaching job for a all-girls school in Alabang. :)

Somehow, I really had doubts if I wanted to teach but I was definite that I was more comfortable if I worked in a school setting. So here I am, maybe in a year I could start my MA, or not. We'll see. I just enjoy being in a position with lot's of options. Let's see where this leads me. :)

I know, school means, less free time/time for travels and strict policies. But i guess, God gave me plenty of time to be lazy, do whatever I want and waste time already. So it's my time to really think about my future. After all, I've already survived one 'end of the world' (may 21) and they say another one is on it's way on Oct. 15, so let's see what will happen to that! lol :P

waddup, 2011!!

2011-01-02T22:07:00.002+08:00

waddup!! so i read this article that because of the emergence of facebook and twitter, blogging has become less of a habit. and i couldn't agree more, hello?! one post a year?! sorry... haha.

well, it's the 2nd day of the year, so maybe i'll get to post another one before the year ends. :P so in case there are still people following my blog (*cricket sound* DUH.haha) here's my twitter account for more up to date news on my life: www.twitter.com/bttrflyprncss :)

anyway, let me get to out updates - let me finish 2010. first up, fo my 22nd birthday, i went to HK disneyland and Macau with mum and bro. around this time too, a malignant sarcoma was found on mum's left thigh, so we've been frequenting hospitals lately co of her chemotherapy. :S but all's getting better, i know we'll make this through...

for the latter part of 2010, my tita convinced me to look over her business in Batangas. the job was not entirely easy but not as stressful, and with a good pay, i took it. but because of the travel of almost 6 hours (i go there 3 times a week), mum asked me to quit. on the last week of my work there, i went out to buy a book since i felt i needed a new good read, and i stumbled upon a bridal supplies list which gave me a great idea.

since i have been arranging wedding unofficially this past years, and my uncle was getting married to, i decided to start formulating a business on wedding planning, and that's what keeping me up nowadays. i have these crazy plans and adventures too which i have to coordinate from time to time. so basically, i'm free and flexible nowadays, u can invite me to the moon and ill be there with my tote bag. :P

i hope everyone's having a blast like me. this is really living life to the fullest! just hope i don't end up broke anytime soon. :P

signing off and singing: i'm broke but i'm happy, i'm poor but i'm kind... :P

most do: updates!

2010-06-28T17:57:00.001+08:00

2009 was bland but very LOVEly. so much has happened (1) i got a boyfriend! its totally simple. important part is - we are happy. (2) my uncle died - one of my closest. it didn't affect my life largely per se, but the lives of people around me.

its mid-2010 already! i decided to make this year my turning point. and im starting to get it done. i know there would be goodbyes, but it will be for the better.

in my last post, i spoke about work. and this week is my last week in IPAMS. why did i resign?

i've decided to deal with my life's paper works - PRC (yes, i passed LET) and Driver's Lisence (yes, i've been driving around with my name mis-spelled. hehe). and hopefully, ill take up MA full time. bad news though - UP won't let me start on the 2nd term so i have to wait till next year. so im currently thinking about, finding a part-time work or enrolling in a different school first then transfer next year.

oh did i mention that ill be doing all this in iloilo. yup, this is my first step to the "simple life".

i want to learn our dialect - hiligaynon. meet new people. learn new things and basically, be on my own. but still with help - within reach. *giggle*

also, i mentioned my 2009 goals. yep, i tried BPs. they worked! the side effects were tolerable - however, the routine was hard to maintain. i keep on forgetting to take the before sleeping pills. hehe.

so here i am, at the middle of this year - meaning i have yet to make this a great or just another year passed by.

i hope everyone's doing great, wish me luck, ok?!

where have i been?!

2009-03-14T22:26:00.002+08:00

yeah, it has been more than a year since my last post...

so, here's a rundown of the stuff that happened to me during 2008 (probably, the greatest year evah):

a.) graduated from College.
b.) got hired - yep i'm already working. and eerrr, earning (gotta talk about that later...)
c.) went to the beach with CEOs - puerto galera
d.) organized a halloween costume party with CEOs
e.) road trip with CEOs to caleruega - tagaytay
f.) road trip and beach with FFB - laiya, batangas
g.) company outing and xmas party - laiya, batangas
h.) 2 weeks vacation in Iloilo for my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary

so there, 2008 was really really great for me...

so im not so psyched up for 2009. but im dedicating this year for self-wellness and improvement, and i've started to:

a.) religiously work-out
b.) diet - watch what i eat
c.) really think about taking BPs (hope it do wonders for me)
d.) save for out of town trips *fingers crossed*

i look forward to doing something out of the box this year, so wish me luck!

my answer to the question

2007-05-14T19:23:00.000+08:00

"kamusta love life mo?"

This is one of the mornings after another sleepless night that I cannot help but ask myself, why didn't I have a good night sleep again?

Then the memory of someone from the past would, again, bounce in my head... disturb my sanity and make my day half-miserable.

I know another day of what if’s and maybe’s.

I've told myself that when it's over, it's really over!

There's no sense turning back or even trying to pick up the pieces again.

It's time to move on and face the reality!

When it's over, is it really over?

When you decide to let go, do you really succeed in letting go?

I heard Sugar Ray’s song a while ago.

Here are the few lines that caught my attention:

"When it's over, that's the time I fall in love again...

When it's over, that's the time you're in my heart again...”

How can you possibly say it's over when you're still in love with the person?

I guess it's not that easy when the chain of the past locks you in the chest of

false hopes and leads you to a place called fantasy,

with Cinderella and Snow white as your best friends!

The three of you would gather on the hilltop and after a while three young drop-dead gorgeous princes would come, riding on their horses to join the picnic under a three.

How pathetic!

But, admit it or not, it's true...

The hardest part of losing a loved one is to accept the fact that they're gone and might never come back again.

There are things that will always remind you of your togetherness, the places you've been, expressions you used to hear from him or her and songs you've both loved to sing.

These are the memories that'd linger on your mind from time to time, because you were both in love before (or so you think).

It makes you hope for another chance.

You begin to believe on what others said that:

Love is lovelier the second time around.

And the line from Ally Mc Beal,

"whoever said that 'plenty of fish in the sea' thing is lying.”

Sometimes, there's only one...trust me.

We would desperately believe that what happens in the

movies might also happen to us one day.

Who didn't like the lines from Runaway Bride where Julia Roberts told Richard Gere…"I guarantee that we'll have tough time; guarantee that in some point, one of us would want to get out; I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret this for the rest of my life, 'coz I know in my heart...you're the only one for me…"

We tend to think that the person who left us will come back one day and say those words or just simple words that would promise forever.

Problems may occur every now and then, but we would consider those things as trials to be conquered in order for the relationship to bloom and mature.

Oouucchh! Reality just bit me!

More often than not, these romantic movies and mushy love songs only make us long for something we cannot have...

and for someone who cannot be ours again.

It hurts to admit that we are just pretending.

All the while, we already knew the truth but we ignore it.

When the damage is done, there's nothing left to do but cry...

To mourn for the bitterness in our hearts.

Then curse anybody who gets in the way.

As we still hold on to the past the chance of meeting someone new may be a bit far off the field. The fear of trusting and falling in love again may also hinder us to grow and move on.

We are hesitant to take the risk, Afraid that we may get hurt again.

Because of the negative thoughts stocked in our brains, we refuse to go out from our self-made world and deprive ourselves from new opportunities, whether in love affairs or career wise.

Realities check again: It can happen to anyone but we shouldn't just take things as it comes.

An action must be done.

It's just a matter of survival. Stand up when you fall.

It's okay to cry as hard and as long as you want to, just make sure that when you stop crying, you won't cry for the same reason anymore.

Learn and live. LOVE.

Love is the most wonderful thing one can offer, so be smart enough to give the love in your heart to the one who really deserves it.

bad dream

2007-04-13T17:52:00.001+08:00

i woke up today from a bad dream.

the dream was very weird. i just remember i was crying for i wanted to leave but i wasn't able to, though i didn't know where i was going. *special appearance pa si feona sa dream*

going to school my real bad dream came to life.

i hate regrets. i hate myself.

i regret that i didn't drop my crithin class. i regret that i didn't follow my instinct. i regret having to follow others. *tsk tsk. bad move. can definitely change my life forever.*

its fascinating how one person can ruin your life. ruin your dreams. ruin you.

its sad that an education major like me, who studies, how to teach effectively, how to make tests that would really measure student learning, had tolerated a professor, who only read the book and call that lecture, who gives pointless exam directions, and who treats his students as if they were morons.

yes, i chose to give up. i chose to just let it go. because i don't want to beg from a person so unfair. i don't want to make myself lower than what he had already done.

i know my friends doesn't understand me. but this is my life. this is my choice.

but i thank you for your concern.

i learned that no matter how prepared you are for a battle, fighting a million of them and only one of you (well, in this case, four: jacq, bing, chris and me.)

you can only expect the worst case scenario.

i entered this general elections, along with 8 other teacher-leaders,
holding on a vison and the decision to serve our college, our batch mates, to give them what they deserve, yes i still firmly stand on this position,

OUR LEADERSHIP.

yes. i am disappointed.

but life goes on... now, we go back to our "normal" student life, where it would be bothersome to be wearing the same shirt the same day and fun to see that two to three of you are of the same color/shade of shirt, where we talk about subjects, professors and requirements, where we just have to mind our own business.

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion.
I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

anu ba new year na?!

2007-01-01T21:08:00.000+08:00

cheers to the year that was. 2006. Whew! It was quite a year.

As I said before, this year could probably be the “climax” of the story of my life, the year…

I turned 18. *legal na po!*

I started drinking MORE often.

I indulged to smoking AGAIN.

I did things I never thought I would do *going into politics*

I went to MORE places *unexpected roadtrips, sagada, etc.*

I cried a lot *as in!*

I pleaded for a grade *edutec2*

I planned for my future *nax!*

And a lot more...

This year was really a roller coaster of emotions, and if I would go through it again I probably would, except, most probably for the part where I chose to protect myself from heartache thus hurting the people I treasure the most. But, as what they always say, life goes on, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Life is short. Forgive like you got amnesia, believe like a child, love like crazy, and laugh till you fart, take courage to realize your heart’s desires and don’t regret anything that made you happy!

THANK YOU! To everyone who had made 2006, one of a kind, exciting and fun-filled for me! Wishing everyone a year of strength and peace of mind! ; )

you have lived if...

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves.

Although you may have been hurt before, you tend to bring very little scars into new relationships.

You want to be with someone who's a success. A person with the right job, right family, right clothes...

In fights, you speak your mind and don't hold back. You know you're right, and you can get quite angry about it.

Break-ups can be painful for you, but you never show it. You hold your head high.

Your Love Life Secrets, Revealed

someday

2006-12-10T00:20:00.000+08:00

Someday you’re gonna realize

One day you’ll see this through my eyes

By then I won’t even be there

I’ll be happy somewhere

Even if I cared

I know you don’t really see my worth

You think you’re the last guy on earth

Well I’ve got news for you

I know I’m not that strong

But it won’t take long

Won’t take long

Someday someone’s gonna love me

The way I wanted you to need me

Someday someone’s gonna take your place

One day I’ll forget about you

You'll see, i won't even miss you

Someday someday

Right now I know you can tell

I’m down and I’m not doing well

But one day these tears they will all run dry

I won’t have to cry, sweet goodbye

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me

The way, i wanted you to need me

Someday, someone's gonna take your place

One day i'll forget about you

You'll see, i won't even miss you

Someday, i know someone's gonna be there

someday, someone's gonna love me

The way, i wanted you to need me

Someday, someone's gonna take your place

One day i'll forget about you

You'll see, i won't even miss you

someday, someday

pessimism

2006-10-01T19:16:00.000+08:00

although i have posted in my previous blog that my issues have been resolved regarding my wednesday blunder.

i cannot hide the fact that i am really going through a "phase" right now. this is different, well a lil realted to that wednesday thing, though this has been present before last wednesday.

(although most people say, ang galing ko magtago. maybe now that i'm 18 and a day old. i should keep it real. well. not 100% but at least a lil. its really hard to wear a mask, right?!)

what i really wish for my birthday is: happiness that cannot be equated to any material thing.
(exact example: MONEY, or a diamond ring.)

funny. most people write blogs so that in a way, indirectly say what they want to say, or share what feelings they have inside. and although how i wish that he could read this. i just know that it is impossible.

but if i were to be asked to ressolve this now.
i know i am not ready.

or maybe i'm just scared.

optimism

2006-10-01T19:15:00.000+08:00

i thought last wednesday, will be just like other days, but i was kinda pissed that day.
( i don't want to elaborate on it, because the persons concerned knows about it already. and i think most people do also.)

so i wasn't really plannin' to go to school the next day, and instead planned to go shopping for my last minute birthday errands. but before i went to sleep, i learned taht classes were suspended. yey.
( just to later realize that there were nothing to be happy about)

my mom and i still went to 168. and as we were on our way home, we got first hand experience of the typhoon.
(yeah, we saw billboards crash and tarps and signs flying everywhere.)

i was so happy to get home safely. only to find out: BROWN OUT.
(talagang niliteral ko dba)

so a day passed of having to get water from our neighbor's pump and another day.
(yup. 3 days. 3 nights. walang kuryente!)

then i realized! saturday, shet! BDAY KO NA! wala paring kuryente! good thing my mom reserved a hotel room ahead, so i was able to do all my preparations there.
(all hotels were fully booked! mahirap ang pilipinas ang pilipino inde!)

but all my songs for my 18 roses and all that were still in my ipod! not yet in a cd! so un. (alam nio ng panay sitti songs lang ung nagplay nung debut ko and instrumental lang ung sa 18 roses, haiz. sayang ung mga nights that i was awake to prepare for the songs.)

although, i gave out 110 invitations and only 70+ people came.
i am still grateful.
for we were not harmed by the typhoon.
and i still had a great time.
(though... basta alam nio na un...)
i hope everyone who came had a great time too.

THANKS GUYS!

thank you

People Envy Your Compassion

You have a kind heart and an unusual empathy for all living creatures. You tend to absorb others' happiness and pain.
People envy your compassion, and more importantly, the connections it helps you build. And compassionate as you are, you feel for them.

Four terms down, five more to go. And we are ready, get set, NAH!!! Let’s take a break and rest first. After all the cramming, procrastination, picture taking, bonding, always late, always absent, and just pure laziness. STOP!

Take a deep breath because the ride will is going to be bumpier-er. Get it?!

I should be in a relaxed state. But I’m kind befuddled, confused, and perplexed. Well whatever term you like to use. I’m feeling shit and I don’t know why. I’ve been smoking again. Is there a connection? Well, how the hell will I know?

One thing I’m sure. I want to get my grades, go to the overnight training for the PF. Graduation and presentation in Sign Language class. I think I passed. I got high grades naman. Block outing at Toni’s house, hopefully I arrange that they will be on separate dates. And then start the next term.

And I want to get my feelings straight. I thought I have recognized, accept and have over come the thing that I felt. Now I feel something different, yet its still not good. I’m half-Crazy.

2006-07-23T23:33:00.001+08:00

haha!

july 14, 2006. friday.

jac and vic's bday.

first. it was jacq's party @ capones, makati.

i "hosted" the party. haha. lucky them! haha!

after the 18 treasures and shots. (countless...)

everyone (i think...) started dancin'... and drinkin...

jacq / jacq's mom (she's so cool). i stil need to confirm who talaga... gave me a rose stuff toy. awww. so sweet. ; )

after i dunno how long... i was drunk...(tons of tequilla!!!) it has been a while...

i was wasted shit. anyway...

what happened after i dunno...

check out the pix... most of them i really don't remember doing...

good thing LOIS, WIN and CHRIS was sober and kind enough to hold my hand... and ask me if i was ok...

DRICH was also kind (ironically ok.) enough to pull someone to dance with me. grsh. i hate you.

GAB was so busy... haha! the others were drunk too!.

oh, by the way, all the gurls were in skirts. except jacq. ironic. hehe.

then... i think by 2-3am, we headed to prince plaza 2. it was VIC's turn. i believe CID picked us up. the others went home.

but we were so drunk we just ate mc nuggets and empanada. teased each other. did a lil card game (reminiscin' our block outing).

and dozed off at around 5... woke up at 8... bought stuff from mini stop...

including cup noodles, bread, spread (rhyme!) and WATER. we loved H2O! BRUNCH TIME!

then we packed up (oh! i played feeding frenzy pa pala and zuma!) and GAB, LOIS, ANGEL and I. went off by 12.

i passed by my dentist. got home by 3, and as if nothing happened.

haha. fun.

my class begun at 6 and ended 730pm.
this will go on every tuesday and thursday for the rest of the term.
today was my first day in my Sign Language class, in College of Saint Benilde.
my prof even though he's deaf was really funny.
i had very cool classmates although most of them were more than 5 years older than i am, we had fun.
i learned how to pray the lasallian prayer, using, well actions. it was tough. but very coool!
hehe!
hearing my prof's laugh and knowing that he can't hear himself made me feel sad, and blessed at the same time. this really touched my heart and made me realize what i wanted to do.
i want to be a teacher. or a psychologist. but i do also want to teach the deaf or be a counselor for them.

when i walked towards the gate, i passed by their "tambayan" and for the first time, i didn't feel weird, but i felt i wanted to learn and understand them.

day TWO!

2006-05-23T21:56:00.000+08:00

ok. day two. i was so frustrated yesterday. ( i realized frustrated is a better term than depressed, coz people thought, i was refering to a love life situation, weird right?! i used the word depressed and people kept on asking how was i doing, so now i think this is a better term.)

as you might have read, my dear readers, (hehe!) i had a really not so good day yesterday, and i would like to say, i think today is a better day. actually, there were still good things that happend yesterday, i just forgot to recognize them coz i was so preoccupied with complaining.

by the way, we had aircon in our rooms today, finally, thoug it was still not that cool. i borught with me my trustee "jug" so i wont dehydrate.

i missed my first class, (i failed to make kwento, that our helps are on vacation, so im kinda doing everything around the house, well, a t least for a week.) coz i needed to attend to my dog, andee. she was not feeling good.

so i got to school just in time for my next class, and we even had time to eat a small snack, my class was relstwo. omg! i was glad my teacher is good, coz when i took relsone my prof was as boring as hell. (im sorry for comparing everything that sucks and everything that is extremely good to hell). i also found out that, kristine and shurwin, were with me at the same time. so that makes the four of us, including abby, which is my blockmate, setonians in the room.

the class after that was at yuchengo! i believe its a kilometer away! coz we really felt all sweaty when we got there. my prof in edutec2 was also my prof in edutech, so we didnt need much introduction and went down to business.

my last class for the day was at gokongwei, again a kilometer away from yuchengco. it was a first for us, (abby, eloisa, cza, angeli, jacq and win) to have a class in that building, so weren't used of not having signal inside the classroom. im not bashing! hehe! our prof in this class was also good. very proficient in english too, and we enjoyed all his trivias about Rizal. (that's our subject by the way). for the nth time drich didn't attend class so when we formed groups we didn't include him in ours coz there can only be 7 memebers in a group. but i was so kind to inform the prof and he was placed in a group well full of bob marley looking guys. hehe. ; )

i was happy to finally get home and take a rest, well not really, for i had to prepare dinner, hehe!

**p.s. i dunno why but im kinda gettin addicted in writing what happend to me. but i think this won't last, coz after this week, it will be the real thing. real hectic sked. and all that stuff.

first day. first term. 06-07

2006-05-23T21:53:00.000+08:00

night before my first day, the first floor of our house got flooded, because the faucet was left open (or because of the water pressure the faucet broke, anyway). i was the one who went down to check, because we heard water flowing and the moment i stepped down, i slept, so lucky me, my backs hurts until now. so we drained the water til midnight. and i went to bed around two.

here's my sched for the first term 06-07. mon,wed,fri : 10:30 - 11:30 ; 2:30 - 3:30 (yah! i only have two classes) then, tue, thurs : 9:40 - 10:40 ; 11:20 - 12:50 ; 1:00 - 2:30 ; 2:40 - 4:10 (yah! i have four classes with ten minute breaks in between, and yah, it sucks! haha!)

i was excited to finally be in school and "experience our 20 plus floor bldg!" woohoo! the highest educational bldg. in the country! yey!

unfortunately. i had to line up before i could ride one of the 4 working elevators (which 3000 other people was going to ride, juz to get to class). my first ride, luckily, was the one in the middle (where you could see a hell of a view of manila!). when o got off, i didn't like the atmosphere, it was already so hot! and i searched for my room, and headed to chair nearest the window (which as a matter of fact, has a very cool lock system!). the comfort rooms weren't available on that floor so we had to go down the 16th to use a toilet. gosh! it was cooler in the cr than in our classroom.

my prof for the first class didn't show up. so i have to wait till wednesday to find out who he/she is.

so i got on one of the elevators again, this time the one in the left most, where there was no glass window anf you really needed to gasp for air, when i got off, i really felt dizzy and sweaty all over. (eww! i know!)

my next class was 2 hours away so i decided to go back to the real world, that is La Salle-inside the gates.

i met up with my blockmates and decided to have lunch.

after an hour i had nowhere else to go, everyone, who i was with had class, so i went to CCD to work on our bulletin board.

at 1:45, i headed back to the new bldg. which by the way is the "bro. ANDREW gonzales hall" (hehe!) and rode the middle elevator, and went to my las class for the day.

bottom line: mainit sa bagong bldg! good luck kung kelan magkakaaircon dun. at ang layo. un lng.

lastly, i pray that my 4 slightly straight classes will go out fine tom. i gotta bring a water jug! (OO WATER JUG NA ITO!) and a big fan or something that functons wiith batteries (as jacq recommended) and hope that the administratotrs will come up with something to remedy this very disturbing problem. and the the bldg will be finished in a week! wah! goodluck tlga!

PBB

2006-04-28T21:23:00.000+08:00

okey. i feel like i'm living in a dorm, its summer and my dad's acting like a really unreasonable land lady, well, sorry for the stereotype but i really feel that way, anyway, since, i can't go out and i have to be in bed by 11pm, i indulge myself with television.

i watched PBB teen edition, haha, my brother have been watching it since it started, so i got interested, hehe, well, as most of you know me, syempre i checked out the cutest guy, haha! and i must say aldred is really a cutie (see images below). anyway, i really got interested of the past happenings so i looked up the website, and i read this really nice song by one of the housmates, kim.

here's the song: (OMG! i can relate big time! well, actually, i really want to say this song to someone.)

Peng You (Friend/s, Kaibigan)

These past few years, being alone (Zhe xie nian yi ge ren)

The wind has passed, the rain has stopped (Fong ye guo yu ye zou)

You have cried (You guo yu ye zou)

I/We still remember what the past was (Hai ji de jian chi shen me)

When you have loved truly, you will get hurt (Zhen ai guo zai hui tong)

It will get sad and lonely (Hui ji mo hui hui shou)

But you will always be in my heart(Zhong youmong zhong you ni zai xin zhong)

Friends will be with you(Peng you yi shen yi qi zou)

These days are no longer here(Na xie re zhi bu zhai you)

One word, one lifetime (one word will last a lifetime) (Yi zu hua yi bei zhi)

A toast to our deep friendship(Yi shen ching yu bei zu)

We all have been lonely(Peng you bu cheng gu tan gou)

You will learn that our friendship will last for a lifetime(Yi shen peng you ni hui dong)

Even if there's sadness and hurt(Hai you shang hai you tong)

You still have me....(Hai yao zou hai you wo)

2006-03-26T19:04:00.000+08:00

okay... im bored... well... honestly sad... i am now struck by the trimestral sched of la salle! hehe!
my friends are all officially in vacation, while i'm still finishin my requirements, damN! anyway!
i juz found out from my flowchart, that i can finish my course in nine terms (meaning: three years), so im left with six terms, yey! but i was kinda thinking of shifting yesterday, coz i suddenly felt a urge to teach, i think it has got to do with the "educate to end poverty" posters in my room. so im really kinda thinking about that. and also, we just celebrated CED day, a.k.a. teacher's day, it was really fun, especially the culminating activity though it was really tiring... anyway, my avatar, is sad, coz im still in school and summer is on, but there is a dog, coz im expecting to have one real soon... so that's it... i gotta go back to reality now, and finish my papers... hehe!

if you're wonderin' what have been happenin' with my life lately, visit those links and you'll find out.
march 6-14. we made our speeches, practiced them, memorize and delivered them to the students.
TRASFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP and CONVERGENCE in EDUCATION. this was our platform, together with Ms. Jielene Sato (college assembly president), Tin Paderes (edge2004 batch rep), Kathy Mercado (edge2004 Legislative assembly represetative), Anna Litonjua (edge2005 legslative assembly represetative, alec, aldrich, toni, anil, chastine, and the other emcs, i ran for Edge 2005 Batch Represetative. i have never ran for any office in the 17 years of my existence, so everything, from the speeches, to the ptpc was new to me. i was always cautious of my actions, there were times that i hesitated but there were definitely times that i never let anything stop me from making the people see what i really wanted to do. i would even cut class, go home at 9 and be at school as early as 7, juz so ill be ready for the day ahead. march 15-17. was judgement day. elections.

march 18, at around 7pm, after all the "awards" and jokes have been said, we all settled down for the results. college of education was first, my batch was first too. then i heard my opponents name, i felt sad of course, there were a few tears... but when i heard that the EB was a sweep, i was definitley happy.

it was only until i got home when it all started to sink in, and i couldn't stop crying, to be perfecftly honest until now... but i don't regret anything, i had offered what i have to offer, i had a wonderful time with the coolest people and i'll forever treasure this experience. i am now going back to my regular life... i'll still have to finish projects for CED day, and i am looking forward to the new leadership next term. Congratulations and Good luck to Simoun, Noey, Melai, Jhoan, Kaysie, Chris, Jielene, Tin and Kathy!

Thank you: Anil, Chastine, Drich, Toni, Alec, Jielene, Tin, Kathy, Anna, my blockmates!, my CEO barkada!, TAPAT!, for believing and never giving up on me. I wish i could have given you victory but i didn't. i do promise though, to continue fighting for a just and free society and for a leadership edge05 truly deserves. ;' )

looking forward to our future projects... ; )

chaos

2006-02-26T23:01:00.000+08:00

military...
rallyist...
suspension of classes...
argh! is it coup d'etat?! or juz selfish acts?!
whatever people may call it, and whatever way you understand it...
its just chaos, in one word.
february 24, 2006.
declaration: suspension of classes, all levels.
we were supposed to have our SALIKSIK class.
anyway, we decided to go to st. francis square, which i juz realized
was near the EDSA monument, well, this myt be a stupid idea, but nothin
bad really happened, so me and drich went to watch final destination 3,
one of the grossiest movie i've ever seen. ewww.
saturday, non working holiday, i juz stayed at home, by the orders of my parents.
and actually we went to my brother's confirmation at about 3 pm. in las piñas.

>>> i just realized i'm doing a recap of my activities over the weekend, and
readers will find this boring, but its ok... i just wish i could have something to look back to,
since im in my lazy mode so im typing away everything i have in mind<<<>

after the confirmation we went home. sunday. february 26. we went to market market,
at the fort, taguig, okay... pig out. haha! i've never enjoyed so low cost food in my life.
well okay im exagerating, but it was really fun. and im happy with my new pair of shoes. hehe.
oh my, then when we arrived home, some news broke out that the marines did something at the fort, oh my. we were just around that are an hour ago, and if we didnt leave we would have been of all these commotion, anyway, at least we can breathe that we were not there, it juz struck me that, if i was there at that moment, something could have happen to me and i couldnt call my friends to say goodbye because my fone was out of credits... ok... ok... stupid... but what if ryt?!
hehe...
so many things...

CED DAY got posponed. so i'm really hoping all these things will finally come to an end so we can go on with our lives. my gosh, the other 2/3 of the country is happy doing their work, while here in Manila (well, including Cavite), we can't stop worrying what will happen next.

i juz pray that all of these will end peacefully and the people be united for the sake of the greater good and for OUR COUNTRY.

the track and field team is a bunch of kids in adlut skin. haha!
they are so fun to watch.
this seminar is their preparation for the coming UAAP games.
I do wish them good luck. It's nice to know that La Salle are represented
by really disciplined and goal oriented people.
I understand their griefs. and I am relaly proud of them.
it is a pleasure to meet this team.
even though evryone comes from different walks of life,
you will really feel that they stand up for each other.
I do hope they are not the only team that does that.
and Im looking forward to the next team building seminar with them.

*note: this is the first time i capitalized the letter "i".

oh my! i felt like someone pressed the fast forward button!
after this term i am no longer a frosh...
i am no longer the "novice" of the group...
i am no longer part of the "youngest" group...
well... not that all of these matters...
i am happy to know that in my first year i have been productive...
i have joined seminars and organizations
that i truly enjoyed and still is enjoying...
i am doing my best to get back on the dean's list...
shocks! the second term really taught me that a few points does count, big time!
and i am looking forward to a more productive term and school year!
if there's one thing i miss now is my CEO friends...
its really tough, having different schools, different schedules...
but now that we are looking forward to our anniversary! ONE YEAR GUYZ!
as a formal CEO group... (oh my! i should write something about that! ill do that soon promise!)
going back, now that we are looking orward to that i hope we could come up with a really nice way of celebrating it... not really fancy... but just fun and exciting... well, one thing i can say about my barkada, you can take us anywhere and we'll still have fun! hehe!

okay... back to reality... i have been doing a lot of sleeping lately, haha! making up for the 2 days that i didn't sleep... because of, yah! you guessed it school work... anyway... everything pays off in the end... so it's ok... i just hope... just like before... i survive this term... and still have enough braincells for the 7 terms left in la salle. haha!

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you:
let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you,
coming to see you, staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The bible said that, they came out from us
that it might be made manifest
that they were not for us.
For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means
that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over
so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.
It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you
and was never intended for your life, then you need to......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ......
LET IT GO!!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth.....
LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you ........
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents
LET IT GO!!!
If you u have a bad attitude.......
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.......
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves......
LET IT GO!!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed .........
LET IT GO!!!

im back!!!

2005-10-08T22:01:00.000+08:00

I got this email and I wish to share it with everyone, not just Lasallians but to EVERYONE. Para naman maintindihan niyo rin kami. Don't judge us if you don't even know us. Wag kayong magmarunong at magmalinis. You should've watched game 2 live. Mawawala talaga respeto mo para sa mga taga FEU dahil sa ginawa ng students nila after they won the game. Nanalo na nga sila, nanakit pa sila ng mga inocenteng tao. Imagine, they actually threw something at us na parang teargas na stinkbomb. Plus they started throwing other things pa. And they even said "You have money, we have manners." Nasan yung manners dun?! Tsaka they also said "Feu edukado...Eh kayo?!" What the heck. Ganun ba ang tinuturo nila dun?! Inaway nila pati high school boys ng GH. I understand na they have a right to be mad, but that doesn't justify everything that they did that day. In all honesty, mas malinis pa nga ang admu-dlsu games eh kasi may respect for each other pa rin kahit papano.
- lasalyano.

"hi guys...i'm forwarding the reaction of my friend Mick [Deles] (for non-UAAP fans, she's the courtside reporter of DLSU) on a particular column. I must say, I used to admire Arwind Santos, but I never will now...not in this lifetime! His popularity pulled his attitude down. I hope that you'll know the real issue first before you can say something about Lasallians."
- Cai Dangoy
---

from Micky Deles (courtside reporter of the de la salle green archers):

Green sees redSPY BIZ By S.A. MaguireThe Philippine Star 10/04/2005A lot of people have noticed that the Green Archers haven't beenhumble in victory and haven't been gracious in defeat either. In theirsecond game with Ateneo, Archer Ryan Arana's Jezebelic belly-dancingrubbed salt on the Blue Eagle's wounds. In whose harem did he learn togyrate like that anyway? In the third game, Coach Franz Pumarenunnecessarily called a time-out with just a few seconds left todisplay his winning team to the fans. And in the first finals gamelast Thursday, a nationwide audience saw La Salle assistant teammanager Manny Salgado's infamous "batok" on Arwind Santos. FEU coachBert Flores then chased Salgado who ran like a frightened cat. Our LaSalle Greenhills Spy-Ring disclosed that Salgado is from HS Class '78.In their drive to be champions again, the Green Archers and staff mayhave forgotten the basics of sportsmanship. Because of this, many havestarted to root for an FEU victory according to TV surveys taken overthe weekend. It's clearly a case of the greens seeing red then turningpurple. Naturally, this has made the Eagles fly high and away fromtheir blues enjoying every minute of their rival's biggest faux pas.MY REACTION (Micky Deles):

This is harsh but sadly is just one of the many articles being written about the DLSU Archers after the “incident” last Thursday. In yesterday's STAR (October 4), Dong Puno likewise gave his piece on the whole Salgado issue, implying that Sir Manny wasn't sincere with his apology and saying that Joseph Yeo was the only one seen trash talking on video. He based everything on the short video clip that was being played and replayed by the various news programs but if he was actually at the venue, watching the game, then he'd know that Arwind is not a saint..he was actually given a warning by the refs for taunting.

This is the moment that everyone has been waiting for, especially the Ateneans. They lost to us three times this season, a very painful loss for those from the blue side. They could not say anything about those games because we beat them bad, now this issue gives them a chance to get back at us. Sadly they are taking a very human error and blowing it up into monstrous proportions making it seem as if only someone from La Salle could commit such a mistake. What people are failing to realise is that by judging and condemning us they are no better, they are falling into the same trap. Our mistake was a physical action, their weapon of choice are words. “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone” - we acknowledged our mistake, we acknowledge our faults. We are only human but for some odd reason they are forgetting that so are they - human beings capable of making the same mistakes. The shame is now on them for casting stones with equally sinful hands.

P.S. The implication of such columns is that Coach Franz, being the head coach of the Archers is responsible for the "unethical" behaviour of the team...hmmm....

On Ryan’s dance: Boys will be boys! This is college basketball where emotions inevitably run high. We are forgetting that teams in this league are comprised of teenagers who are still at the prime of their lives trying to enjoy their youth. Many of these columnists and critics – be they alumni or not are parents with their own adolescent children, they of all people should understand teenagers who are at this stage of their lives. Sure it may have been wrong to some extent, but Ryan was just trying to enjoy the game. These guys work their butts off everyday, the least we can give them is enough space to be young men. Even coach said this after the game, boys will be boys although he knew that it wasn't the best thing to do but he acknowledged that this is the UAAP where antics like this are all a part of the emotional journey of a college league such as this. For those who are unaware, Arwind did a little dance too during Game 1 of the Finals, I don't see anyone making a big deal out of it. Sure, he was just "doing a ryan" to piss us off but do you see anyone whining about it from our side? No, because we let them be, they are just young boys after all.

On Coach Franz: I have the deepest respect for Coach Franz because despite what everyone says, in spite of all the nasty talk that goes on about him he never allows this to faze him. What many don't see or hear is what goes on during practices, in the dugout and even in the huddles when Coach is with his boys alone without the prying eyes of the media or nosey columnists. He is a doting father to these 14 young men and he teaches them to be tough because of people like Maguire who have nothing better to do but rejoice in the wrongs of others. Coach knows what everyone says about him and his team and he uses this as his fuel to deliver. In my two years as their courtside never have I heard him say anything to his team that would make them think that they are the best, never was there a time that I felt that he was making his team believe that they were invincible and therefore should boast when they win or appear bitter in defeat. He has done nothing but bring out the best in his boys year after year, game after game. He has trained them to play with heart. He has trained them to play with undying passion. All he has ever wanted from his boys is for them to play what they are capable of playing…he just wants them to shine as they should. Where is the crime in that? To all those out there who claim to know how the Archers are trained just shut-up because you know nothing.

"Naturally, this has made the Eagles fly high and away from their blues enjoying every minute of their rival's biggest faux pas" - Where is the honor in this? Where is the honor in savoring every minute of someone else's mistake? Where is the honor in basking in the satisfaction of knowing that your arch rivals are being laughed at, hated and condemned? What kind of sick person will forget his/her blues at the expense of someone else's misery? Who is being ungracious in defeat now??!!!

La Salle vs. FEU (1st game - finals)

feu won... (they have an ostrich in their team!)

it was a nice game... as always... the green archers gave the tamaraws a really tough time...

of course, as a never ending thing in bball, trash talk.

if you can't beat him, distract him.

well, im not really surprised... but everything has its limits...

and the guy that hit santos... was unacceptable...

though, there was a part of me that said: "yes! he deserves it!"

i dont think it's proper to go down their level...

anyway, everything's been said and done...

maybe we'll just have to watch out for the last games...

and as a true blue (pun intended haha) lasallian... ANIMO LA SALLE!

my 17th birthday.

2005-09-30T23:53:00.000+08:00

Ordinary day.

Stressful day.

My ENGLONE teacher asked me, “what have changed now that your 17?”.

Age is just a number… but it symbolizes everything of who I am now… hai…

I was suddenly stunned of the fact that I am really now in college… I am in an uncertain environment… so far away from the comforts of friends… school rules…

Things have changed drastically… I may not see it… but I feel it…

Enough senti mode.

Someone made my day just by greeting me…

Who is he?! TY TANG!

Hahaha…

After a really maddening loss yesterday (against FEU!)…

He was at school… he borrowed my chem. book (where by the way, I won’t be selling anymore, who cares for 700 bucks?! Haha!)…

Hmmmmm…

Feelin’ so tired and exhausted…

And as always I am hidin’ what I really feel…

Well…

Everything happens for a reason…

stress!

2005-09-26T22:34:00.000+08:00

Gosh! 8 am class... 3 pm lunch… pages and pages of reading assignments… and with all that’s happenin’ in our country… all we could feel is stress…

Gone were the days of long breaks… free time… and sudden getaways…

Hehehe… funny… I think I can also blame to stress… our sudden urge to see a movie!

Hehehe… guess what we decided to see?! LOVESTRUCK!!! (dream, believe, fall in love… ) a total “jologs” movie…

Actually it was really funny… the people who we were watchin’ with were just annoying, for their sudden reactions, and stuff…

Of course the story, as expected wasn’t deep… but it sure was fun…

The naughtiness of the characters was harmless… hehehe…

We acted like we didn’t see the movie when we decide to go home… hehehe…

Anyway, it’s nice to do something extra-ordinary, once in a while…

Hehehe…

Hope to survive this week, with all my body parts together…

Gosh! I’m going to grow another year by the end of this week… and I still don’t want to leave my being 16! Hehehe…

Well… nothin’s permanent… so might as well accept it…

Age: 16 yrs. 11 months and 25 days! Argh!!!

Hehehe…

Well many are still older than me… so smile…. ; )

And there are people who didn’t live their 16 years like me!

So… it’s okie…

we won!

another archer - eagle fight took place last
September 15, 2005. at the big dome.
my first time to witness the unending rivalry...
the atenistas took over half of the dome...
but as always! the Green Archers manage to take an early lead...
and eventually ended the game with a 77-52 winning point.

everybody were cheering their hearts out...
waiting for the next point to be made...
2 mis before the game ended... some of the players even managed to fool
around and made the crowd woo louder...

a really fun experience...
of course because i spent it with my friends...
eloisa, abby, gab, migo (gab's bro), jacq, drich,
alec, win, chris, and angeli.
we even made an "arrow" by placing adhesive silver tapes
in our shirts... but unfortunately, we were not seen by the cameras! hehe!
anyway, better luck next time...

some of our blockmates were also there...
migs, garen, soci and cid, but they were int he different section.

"was it even a game" -my englone teacher.

the DLSU pep squad, were the last to perform
for the Non-Stop Cheerdance Competition.

see the tank?! nice concept ayt??!

2005-09-18T18:59:00.000+08:00

september 17, 2005
araneta coliseum...
non-stop cheerdance competition...
finalists:
Ateneo, Adamson, FEU, La Salle, UP, UE, UST and NU.

there were only a small crowd from La Salle, compared to the
huge number of people from UST.

UST, UP and FEU, brought home 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.
the UST pep squad really did a nice job. i myself wooed after their performance.

but of course i was proud of what La Salle showed, really nice concept...
military... it was obvious though that there were more guys than girls...
so their dance routines weren't really impressive... and the color was quiet balnk,
when you look at it...

juz hope we can bring home the bacon next time...

picture: abby, jacq, eloisa, me and malvin...
gab, cza and rickson were with us too... ; )

pahabol!

after finishin' my routine of checkin mail and updatin' profiles in the web, i read two artices with the topic: WOMEN. i really found it interesting becuase i read these articles just today. ; )

The Husband Store

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Godfrey, IL, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband . . .

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. T
he third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" She exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
Please watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

September 7 to 8, 2005.

A few days left of our semester break, while most of us were going someplace with friends or just hanging around the house, trying to enjoy of what is left of our “rest”, I was off to the Communication Foundation of Asia in Sta. Mesa. With 5 other peer facilitators (that got passed the screening and interviews, of course!) and 2 councilors, I was exited of what was in store for me in these two days…

* I made this equation to explain the FUN experience that I had.

PEER FACILITATOR TRAINING = Me + Kenneth + Krissel + Anne + Chai + Raffy + Ms. Owen + Ms. Day + Ms. Daryl + CFA (Sta. Mesa) + name game + statue game + feelings game + evolution + seven up + worthwhile activities + self awareness + communication basics + non-verbal cues + effective listening SKILLS! + role-play + our roles as facilitators + our responsibilities + non stop eating! + non stop realizations + non stop getting to know! + magic tricks + cards + IQ stuff + fool around + scary feelings + the POOL + the RAIN!!! + pictures! + handouts + non stop sharing! + saying JUST thank you after a praise + stories about the course + about classmates + about teachers + of course about ourselves!!! + onting asaran + a place made entirely of bricks * FUN FUN FUN! ; )

the lessons i took home with me from this experience is that, not everything is in your control. so you just have to let it go. sometimes it pays good to keep quiet and listen. and each person has his or her way of interpreting things... so we should learn to adapt.

SNORE. haha! An interesting topic to dwell on when we woke up, garen the tanker and cid the cow.

MISSING. Of course we missed those who were not able to come!
(alec, cza, flora, rickson, christian, billy, dean, caloi, win, angel)

BOOZE. the guys had lots of these!

EMPOY and CHASER. everyone just had to have one shot! me and aldrich’s new found friend!

IPOD. it was everywhere… and was really handy when toni started singing!

3:00 lunch, 9:00 dinner, 11:00 breakfast. this wasn’t planned, but that’s how it went.

ALLERGIES. those sensitive people were red a few minutes after they had their shot.

DVD. Loads of these brought by jacq, of course!

DANCE. Different kinds.

SONG. Different varieties.

MAGIC. New card tricks!

PANCIT CANTON. A mountain of noodles, unexpectedly vanished. hehe!

CELLPHONES. These techi things were mostly looked for, especially at night.

FUN. that was just how this experience was for me. I surprisingly realized that living with these people in a house will never be a good idea, unless there is booze, nah! Just kidding. Being with them in a different setting was a great idea to really understand and get to know, each unique individual. Although, we are not sure that we’ll be together until we graduate, I am pleased to know that I was there with these “creatures” (as what ms. orient will call us):

Aldrich. Jacq. Eloisa. Gab. Soci. Angeli. Erbin. Migs. Vic. Via. Garen. Mika. Cid. Toni. Anj. Chris.

last august 27, saturday, when all of my high school is celebrating, the alumni homecoming, (elizabeth seton school is on it's 30th year!), i was with my family (father's side clan!) hehe, in quezon city, it was my uncle and cousin's birthday celebration, it was also like a reunion,for we weren't really seeing each other for some time now.

anyway, of course there were lots of food and booze! hehe...it was my first time to drink red horse, and so i became tipsy... good thing! there was a karaoke! (a good way to release those "amats!") and a band, composed of my cousin and some of his friends... i also met some new people (cousin's friends and classmates), so i might say it was a really fun party!!! hehe...

august 28 (late afternoon), we went to somewhere in quezon city (again!), different party though... there was a dance instructor, and everybody was dancing ballroom!hehe, thanx to p.e. class, it was okie for me to adjust, though their steps werefar more complex than what we have in p.e., but all in all it was lot of fun too!hehe... around 1, we decided to call it a night, of course, we had to sing some songs from the karaoke (again!), before we can go. everyone was surprised, even i myself, when i belt out a really high tone, in the "back at one" song, i was actually, helping outmy brother, but he left me, anyways, it was my shining moment! hehe! ; )

Brainworks result:

RLYNN, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.

Note: quiet true! Coz the last time I answered this, (see june 14, 2005 input) got super balanced between the right and left hemisphere and the visual and auditory, hehe!

You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-oriented. Although a “thinking” individual, you “take in” entire situations readily and can act on intuition.

Note: nice… good stuff… and mostly true…

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which part of yourself will be called on.

Note: ok… ok… cognitive stuff…

With a slight preference for visual processing you tend to be encompassing your perception, process along multidimensional patterns and be active in your attacking of situations.

Over all, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are perhaps a little too critical of yourself-and of others-while maintaining an “openness” which tempers that feeling.

Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more, immediate obvious and the more functional.

Note: so true!!! This results, for me, is the most valid, out of all the test I have taken. Hehe! ; )

KARMA.

2005-08-10T23:28:00.000+08:00

that's one word i have to say.

Whew! What a day! Well, what’s with today?! Damn. Yah. Ok. I lost my cell phone. So what?! Ok. I admit it. It hurts. I don’t want to retell what happened. There’s really nothing I can do about it, right?! Actually it’s not the phone. It’s the memories. I always say “everything happens for a reason. I just hope I see that reason soon. I just look at it as a detachment (term from Tuesdays with Morrie). Detachment from material things. Well. I’m still alive. I should be happy.

In school we watched the documentary film BUNSO (“the youngest”) by Ditsi Carolino, it was a very good movie. I began to appreciate what I have and of course, be thankful. I almost believed that people are really good they are just forced to do things for them to survive. But then, when “the event” happened, I really realized that this is a mean world. And you should prepare yourself for what may happen. For people may be good, but circumstances are not.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.

2005-08-04T20:04:00.000+08:00

a really nice film, especially for kids...

would really discourage bad values and emphasized the importance of family.

i remembered FREUD (so much for pysch classes!), and his view on how your past,

especially childhood affects who we are in the present, and that was highly evident in the film.

the visuals were really nice...

the oompaloompas, which were really funny (as in!), had nice suits!!! hehe!

gosh! who would not love to see all those chocolates! (yum!)

4 stars for the very imaginative writer and director (tim burton)...

of course, johnny depp! did a pretty good job too, and the kid who played charlie...

i wish my kids, someday, would see this film too!

; )

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, the amazing chocolatier
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, everybody give a cheer
He's modest, clever, and so smart, he barely can explain it
With so much generosity, there is no way to contain it, to contain it, to contain.... to contain... to contain...
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, he's a genius who just can't be beat
The magician and a chocolate wiz, he's the best darn guy you'll ever meet
Willy Wonka, here he is!

Willy Wonka: I feel terrible. What makes you feel better when you're feeling down?
Charlie Bucket: My family.
Willy Wonka: [shudders] Ew.

what's new?!

2005-08-04T19:59:00.000+08:00

The Salty Coffee

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so ordinary, nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised.
They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..."
Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously, "Why you have this hobby?"
He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the see, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee.
Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there."
While saying that, tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart.
A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.
That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful.
He was such a good person but she almost lost him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life...
And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life. Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?"
She replied, "It's sweet."

thoughts and feelings

2005-07-17T11:08:00.000+08:00

Why does it hurt so much when you face failure ? Why is rejection so painful ? Why do you think so much before admitting you are wrong ? The answer to all these problems lie in our attachment to objects. It is because we identify ourselves with these objects or ideas. Pain is caused when we lose these objects or have to let go these ideas. As a student you may not come to terms with doing bad in the exam or worse yet with failing the exams because you identify yourself as a good student or you identify yourself with a good result. Doing bad or failing in the exams results in the loss of this familiar self identity. Loss of identity or loss of concept of the self is naturally painful. Rejection in love is also very painful. So I have learnt. This I think is because the person in love identifies himself with the concept of the couple, with the concept of falling in love. Rejection leads to loss of this identity thus leading to pain. Admitting that you are wrong is painful for a similar reason( more so for the male species. Trust me on this one.) We have too much at stake or so we believe when we lose our righteousness. Along with this we lose our self image. We lose along with it , some respect from others.
Thus all forms of pain and melancholy results from losing something we possess, or identify ourselves with. The solution to the problem or liberation from pain lies in not attaching ourselves with objects and concepts. This is the principle of detachment or dispassion.The practice of detachment is extremely simple if you realize one idea. The idea can be put in a single sentence. It is "You have a mind and body". Yes, you have a mind and body. If you still have not got the significance of this simple sentence, let me eloberate it for you. What I mean by the sentence is that You, the possessor , have the possession of the entities called the mind and the body. You, the possessor are not the mind and the body, the mind and the body are possessed by you. The relation between you and your mind is that of a rider and a horse, between a master and a slave. You cannot possibly control the mind unless you realize that you are distinct and separate from it. What I suggest is not that you are the spirit, the Atman, or Brahma or any such thing. What I suggest is that you, your identity is and should be highest function of the brain. Your identity should be the highest function and should operate at a level above all else.
You are separate from your body and your mind. Most importantly you are in control of your mind and body. Initially like a wild horse you mind will resist control, but if you persevere( I am still trying) , the mind like the horse calms down having found its true master.As you are reading this sentence I want you to observe yourself reading this sentence. I want you to continue this effort for a while. I want you to observe yourself trying to think as you are reading this paragraph. If you are successful in this effort, then I must have convinced you that you are distinct from your mind. You are the observer and the mind is the observed.

fascinating article... i read from the internet...
