HALA HEY PEOPLE!

It's been such a long time since I've posted an entry here in my blog. Ang corny... Ayoko na munang mag-English. Perteh.

Alam niyo naman sigurong napakabusy ko in the past month (HELL MONTH GRABEH!). Ibang-iba na talaga sa college, grabeh. Alam kong inulit-ulit ko na 'tong ni-rant dito sa blog ko, kaso hindi talaga matutumbasan ng kahit ano mang salita ang nararamdaman namin ngayon ng aking mga kaibigan when it comes to schoolworks.

Hinay-hinay lang Hubs.


Magiging Engineer ako beybeh!

Pero, nagkaroon din naman ako ng mga moments kasama ang aking mga kaibigan.

Isheshare ko nga pala! Dumaan kami last January sa may Edsa Walk ng Ateneo. Nakita kong naka-post ito sa may bulletin board doon:

Gawa 'yan ng kamag-anak ni Van Gough... Ang pekeng Van Gogh

Perteh! Nakakaoverwhelm na at the same time, nakakahiya. Ginawa ko ito for our Intact (Introduction to Ateneo Culture and Tradition) class. Gawa raw kami ng poster looking for a person with a "burning yes." Perteh. Nakokornihan ako sa gawa ko. It's just amazing that some people think that this is indeed, a work of art---worthy of exhibiting sa may Edsa Walk pa talaga ng Ateneo! Natawa lang ako noong nakita ko ito. Ayoko pa ngang picturan ito sa simula... Kaso sinabi ni Niña na picturan ko na lang daw kasi minsan lang ito mangyari. Sabagay, minsan nga lang.

Ayon! Nakakapagpataba ng puso... Hypertrophy to the highest level!

>>>

Katip night-out namin last Monday. After eating in BentoBox, dumiretso kami sa Cello's doughnuts. Cello's serves the best doughnuts in Katipunan. Ayoko ng Krispy Kreme... Sobrang tamis eh--mahal pa!

Ang saya pala kung malapit na ang Vday sa Cellos. Kung customer ka doon, pwede kang mag-post ng sangkatutak na mga messages sa mga heart-shaped cartolinas at pwede mong ipost sa kanilang mga dingding.

Valentine's Day Craze at Cello's

Kaya ayun, nagpost din kami nina Bex, Tal, Cia, Lec, Miggy, Rae, at Jason.

Mishoo Illumina!

At ang saya pa kasi since di raw kami mabibigyan ng mga bulaklak or any other gift nina Miggy at Jason sa Vday, binilhan nila kami ng 15 pieces na doughnuts sa Cellos.

Ang sweet naman ng mga lalaking ito. The best talaga kayo!


Oh yeah Miggy!


Kasama namin ang bahista ng Hidden Nikki!

Ang bait-bait talaga nila! As in!! Salamat Migs!! Jason---656 points!! and counting...

>>>

Valentines day... este, Singles' awareness day pala!

Imbis na lumabas with friends, nag-aral kami ng mga blockmates ko buong gabi hanggang mga 11:30pm for our Math (CALCULUS BEYBEH!) long test. Saklap namang tumayming si Ms. Tulao! Ginawa pang after vday 'yung 3rd long test! PERTEH! So, kinancel ko na lang ang mga appointments ko--with Bex at Cia--na mga ka-date ko sana noong gabing 'yon.

So, ganito ang nangyari, naging mga ka-date ko noong Feb14 eh apat na lalaki, isang babae, at mga antiderivatives (ang nerd, grabeh). Kaso, medyo na-late ng konti 'yung babae kaya naman masasabi nating naging ka-date ko yung apat na lalaki at antiderivatives. Perteh. Nagdinner kami sa McDo (na naman!) at ayon.. Nag-aral.

Nakakatuwang makasama ang apat na lalaking iyon. Ang iingay nila and at the same time, nakakatuwa. Nakikipag-compete with each other... Basta, nakakatuwa.

The next day, Math long test na nga.

Perteh. Feeling ko magiging cancellable ko yung exam na iyon. Hanep! ANG HIRAP kasi eh.

"haaay, Bagsak..." ika nga ng isa kong blockmate.

Perteh.

Random pics.
Wala lang, gusto ko lang ishare.

Ehem.. Bagay!


May tinatagong sikreto si Kbo! Aalamin ko ito soon!


Ang charapcharap ng icecream ng Shakey'S! Salamat LeC!


Kain, sabay ngiti.

FEB 14

It's around 12:25am when I started writing this. And I just want to greet you a

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Sabi nga ni Rae, pwedeng ganito rin ang greeting:

HAPPY SINGLE'S AWARENESS DAY!

Oh yeah! pwede!

OVERDUE

Before I give you a comprehensive update, I would first like to greet the following people a BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!:

Jei, where art thou? I Mishoo na... Astig 'yung ipinakita mo sa aking video.


Dels, hinay-hinay lang beybeh.


rAIN, magpataba ka naman... Hahaha! I labyou friend. Salamat sa lahat ng tulong mo sa Math at Physics via Doodle ng YM! Thanks for the everlasting fiendship!

YAN!!! My best friend!!! Nakuu Yan! 18 ka na. Nagdebut ka without me... T_T

But anyway, everything's worth it. You know that I'm always here for you no matter what happens. Ang tagal na rin nating di nag-uusap. I miss you so much. Cradle to the grave! Labyou Yan!

and last but not the least (especially not the least)...

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARE!

Shucks naman Mare, ang oily pa ng mga mukha natin dineh!

Thanks Mom... For everything. From the moment of my conception until now, ang dami mong pinag-daanan para lamang mabigyan ako ng magandang buhay. Salamat sa pag-aruga mo sa akin, dahil kung wala ka, wala rin ako (duh?). Salamat sa pagtitiyaga at pagmamahal na ipinadama mo sa akin nang lubusan. Hinding-hindi ka nagkulang Ma... Salamat! Salamat! Salamat!

Mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal (times infinity) kita.

Allowance ko ha.. Pati na refund! Do not forget! Heheheh...

I love you Mare!

MADALING ARAW BLUES...

It's exactly 2:03am when I started to type this entry, and silence runs the morning air. Everyone else here is sleeping, except me. Buti na lang walang pasok bukas (President's Day! Yey!).

Kakatapos ko lang magbulay-bulay tungkol sa mga photocopying machines. I just finished writing my reflection paper for Pinoy due on Tuesday (Yey! Swak sa schedule).

I haven't been myself lately. Maybe it's because of all that stress that I've been fed up with during this hell month. Nakakainis dahil hindi ko gaanong naoorganize ang mga thoughts ko lately--and it worries me because I need to function well enough for my Physics long test (which was delayed) and Lit Orals (Poetry...) on Wednesday. I need to become a good essay critic on Thursday for our workshop in Pinoy, plus I need to seek the researcher lurking in the recesses of my brain for I need her on Friday for my panel defense in English. Argumentative Research paper pa talaga (pwede ba itong marecommend sa Pisay na bagong branch ng research?)! My topic is about post-coital contraception--'yung means of contraception after having sexual intercourse--especially focused on the use of the Morning-after pill.

Tama na. Rest ka muna Gem... Hinay-hinay lang Ineng...

Matutulog na ako. Mahaba-habang araw pa bukas.

>>>

Belated Happy Birthday ALEC!
ikaw ang natatanging Mount Maquiling ng buhay ko.

>>>

Next post, puno ng mga pictures at mas maayos na entry.

Sorry... Sabog-sabog na ako.

JUST...

Breathe...

Hindi pa rin tapos ang Hell Week Month.

Next time na lang.

BREAK MUNA

I would be on blog leave for the next few weeks because of my pretty hectic schedule and the super demanding loads given to us by our dear profs.

01.17.07 - Ps15.1 Lab submission
01.18.07 - Ma17 2nd LT
01.19.07 - Lit14 QUIZ (nakakapagpabagabag!)
01.22.07 - En12 Research Paper 1st draft submission AND Ma17 MIDTERMS (Help me Lord!)
01.24.07 - Ps14.1 2nd LT

I'm really hoping that I won't lose myself after all of these.

Stress, Oh Yeah Baybeh!


Ika nga ni Alec, "For the Love of Education Mode"


So for now, DND.

God bless everyone!

PASALUBONG FEST

Akala ko hindi ako makakapunta, ngunit sa awa at gabay ng Diyos, nakapunta rin ako.

What: PASALUBONG FESTIVAL
When: January 6, 2007
Where: KALAYAAN RESIDENCE HALL, UP-DILIMAN, QC.

Sa wakas at nagkitakita kaming muli ng Illumina. Bawat region ng Pilipinas ay maghahandog ng kanilang specialty sa mga bisita ng festival. For example, ang mga kalai residents na galing region 11 ay maghahandog ng DUrian at Pomelo sa sangkatauhan. Kasama sina Lec, Cia, Rae, Hubs, at iba pang mga Illumina, inikot namin ang lahat ng booth ng bawat region at kumain ng specialty nila.

Ang saya-saya. Nagkita muli kami ng mga kaibigan ko. Anj, nandito ako lagi para sa iyo. Tandaan mo 'yan, aking kaibigan! Ang sarap ng dayok. Hahaha!

NApansin ko lang ha, hayok pala talaga kami sa pictures. Hahaha! Proven 'to ng video na ito:

Hala sige! Smile lang!

Pinakilala na rin pala ako ni Dabyang sa kaniyang one and only true love.

Dabyang: How sweet it is to be loved by you...

Oo nga pala, eto ang mga pics na nakuha namin:

Kaibigan ika'y kasabay sa mga tawang tila wala nang bukas...

For more pics, just click this LINK

Ibang-iba talaga kung kasama mo ang mga high school friends mo. You're so carefree and so happy. Ibang-iba talaga ang Illumina---hinding-hindi malulupig ni mapapalitan ng kahit anumang salapi.

I LOVE ILLUMINA. Sobra pare!

PAPUTOK BEYBEH

What: WORLD PYRO OLYMPICS 2007
When: January 5, 2007, 8-11pm
Where: SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City

Biglaan lang naman ang lahat ng mga pangyayari kagabi. Inimbita ako ni Ciara na pumunta sa pyro olympics. Sumama naman ako, ngunit di ko inakala na sobrang tagal at nakakapagod 'yung biyahe patungong MOA at pabalik dito sa dorm ko.

So ayun, pumunta kami ng Kalai nina Bex at Cia para makipagkita kay Jason. Sabay-sabay kaming tatlong sumakay ng jeep patungong Taft to meet up with Hubs and Jacques. Sa loob ng MRT, tila nahilo ako sa napakaanghit na amoy na nanggagaling sa isang mama na nasa tabi ko. Sobrang anghit ng amoy ng kilikili niya. Nalanghap din yata ni Bex yung tilang nakakamatay na amoy. Buti na lamang at naroon pa sa bag ko ang lollipop na binigay sa akin ni Niña. Pagkarating sa Taft station, tila sinusupsop ko ng walang hanggan ang lollipop na iyon. Akala ko mahihimatay na ako sa sobrang sangsang ng amoy na iyon.

Nabulok kami sa kahihintay ng jeep/taxi/bus sa may Taft avenue patungong MOA. After 48 years, nakasakay na rin kami nina Bex at Hubs ng taxi. Sumunod din sina Cia, Jac, at Jay sa amin. Nakikita na namin ang napakagandang fireworks display ng Pyro Olympics habang nasa taxi pa kami. Dahil sa sobrang excitement, bumaba na kami nina Hubs at Bex sa may daan (na sobrang malayo pa sa MOA) upang mahagilap ang napakagandang fireworks display.

Ang ganda talaga. As in, sobra.



Ngunit, biglang nag-end ang show.

Nagtanong kami sa guard ng McDonalds kung kelan ulit magreresume ang fireworks display. Sabi ng guard na iyon, tapos na raw.

PERTEH. 9PM pa lang!!! TINAHAK PA NAMIN ANG 0128093172847kilometers para lang makahagilap ng 5 mins worth of fireworks display! And to think, hindi pa kami nagdidinner!!!

Namumula na ang mata ni Bex sa gutom. Kaya, kumain nalang kami.

Napagdesisyonan naming kumain na lamang sa Rai Rai Ken. Kumain kami doon ng mga isa at kalahating oras dahil honestly, sobrang bagal ng service doon. Sa sobrang kabaitan ni Jason, nasikmura pa niyang magbigay ng tip na worth 20 pesos.

10:30 na. Paglabas ng Rai Rai KEn, nakarinig ako ng mga paputok na nagpuputukan.

OMG!!! MERON PANG FIREWORKS DISPLAY!!! (perteh na guard ng McDO!)

So sumugod kami sa waiting area ng MOA. At ayun, nakita namin ang tilang 20 minutes worth of beautiful and astounding fireworks display. Eto ang excerpt: 10 minutes... Pasensya na kung mabagal mag-load.

Kung gusto niyo ng mas mabilis na video, eto ang FINALE:

So worthwile pala talaga ang adventure namin. Nakauwi na ako ng bahay ng mga around 1:10am after that bus ride. Sobrang traffic plus, ang layo pa ng Pasay sa QC!

Pero at least, I had fun being with my friends (Bex, Cia, Jay, Hubs, Jak). Ang Saya-Sayaa!!!

After 48 years, nakakita na naman ako ng fireworks, live!

YEAH!!!

NA NAMAN!!!

Carelessness had always been my problem since birth.

Perteh. I was thisclose to getting it.

If only I looked at the given C A R E F U L L Y.

But then, I haven't. And I didn't even N-O-T-I-C-E it when I was reviewing. I had been too smug about it--inexcusable!

And then look what this attitude has got me into: a pit of absolute anxiety and regrets.

Nervousness during exams had been my problem too.

I just couldn't seem to distinguish t^3 from t^2. PERTEH. I'm just sososooo blinded by the fact that I could really do well in the test. I know I can, but this feeling of complacency that I can do it well seems to (and it does, really) be the one that drags me down.

Perteh... I could've done better.

Lesson learned. At dapat matuto na talaga ako ngayon. Di na pwede itong paulit-ulit na pagkakamali. Carelessness at its PEAK! It's going to be unforgivable if I'm going to fall for this crap again.


Sayang!!!

SILENT WATER RUNS DEEP

Kapag ang tubig ay matining,
Ang ilog ay malalim.

You may never know for sure how deep it goes until you drown yourself into it. So don't you dare touch it nor try to swim on it if you don't want yourself to get into trouble--because it is indeed very possible for you to even die because of it.

No matter how calm and peaceful tranquil water may seem to be, it's still water--and no matter how good you swim, you can still drown in it.

So don't play with it if you're not capable enough.

Keep that in mind.

>>>

These people are those you think won’t even break a glass. But guess what? How perfect their smiles may be, these can still be deceiving. You can't even imagine how they manage to be so perfect and yet so destructive.

Silent water runs deep.

>>>

Kung bakit kasi umaasa... asa... asa... asa... asa... asa...

@#$%!$@#%@#$!!

>>>

A smile can never always assure you that everything's ok.

BELATED

Happy birthday sa aking mga nagwagwapahang mga kaibigan na nagbirthday noong nakaraang Disyembre!

Unang-una, si Joanie...

Astig.

MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN JOANIE! miss na miss na miss na miss na miss na kita!

Kay Causing...

Nakakatuwa ka Coz...

I miss you cozing... Ikaw ang natatanging "MOOO" ng buhay ko.

Kay AteREYS!

Hala, sige. Ngisi lang.

Baka nagtext na naman si Dodong! Haha! God bless you AteReys! Yakang-yaka mo ang IMed!

Si CeeJay!

Doña. Hahaha!

Pramis, hindi ko na kayo tutuksuhin ni Casas... Promise 'yan! I labyou Ceej! Yakang-yaka mo ang IMed!

At lastly, sa aking pinsan...

AAaaaSiiMM!!!

ISHANG! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAAPPY BIRRTHDAY! Hinay-hinay lang sa boys! *hug*

Sana masaya kayong lahat!

CHRISTMAS BREAK NA!

Thank God it's Christmas!

At least, I'll have a break from all of these things... Pero di parin eh. I still have 4 homeworks to do when I arrive in Davao.

Hassle.

Anyway, dapat mag-uupdate na ako ng mga pangyayari.

Naku. Pumunta nga pala kami ni Rae at Ciara sa BelField. May mga Christmas lights kasi sa BelField sa gabi. Eto tingnan niyo:

Ang ganda, diba?

>>>

UP OBLATION RUN.

December 15 'yon. Sabi sa'kin ni Bex, 12 noon magsisimula. Hanggang 11:30 lang ang class ko last friday.

Dinismiss kami ni Ma'am Tulao ng mga around 11:20. KAso, hindi ako nakaalis kaagad. Pinabura pa kasi sa'kin ni ma'am 'yung mga nakasulat sa board. Perteh. Then, traffic pa pagsakay namin ng trike.

So, naisipan naming sumakay ng taxi.

Luckily, nakasakay kami. Mga around 11:45 na 'yon. Traffic. Perteh.

Binaba kami ng taxi sa opposite side ng Palma hall ng UP. As in, sa other side ng Sunken Garden. Mga 11:55 na 'yon.

Halfway papuntang Palma Hall, nagtext sa'kin si Bex:

"Dan, nagsimula na..."

Perteh.

Binilisan namin 'yung paglalakad.

Malapit na kami sa Palma Hall. Biglang nagtext si Bex:

"Tapos na..."

Perteh. Perteh. Perteh. Perteh.

WAA...

Badtrip. Pero may susunod pa namang taon. And I'll make it sure na next year, nasa FRONT ROW TALAGA AKO.

>>>

Christmas party namin sa block last friday.

Doon ko talaga na-realize that I've been so blessed to be in block XX! Ang saya-saya.

The best damN freakiN' blocK evahh!

Mga babae ng block XX

Kate, thanks for the graphic novel. ANG GANDA NG SANDMAN! YEAAH!

>>>

Naku. MAy ishe-share pala ako sa inyong lahat.

Ang kinuha ko na PE for this sem is ARNIS; the filipino martial-art. Parang fencing ito with sticks. Instructor namin si Sir Gialogo--6-time national champ ng Arnis.

Ang saya ng arnis. Promise.

Last, last thursday, nagkaroon kami ng prelims for arnis. Lahat ng 8 patterns ipeperform sa harap ni sir.

After ko magdemo, eto ang nangyari:

Sir: "Pasia, Pasia, halika nga..."
Ako: "Sir..?'
Sir: (hawak-hawak pa 'yung index card ko) "Anong province mo?"
Ako: "Davao CITY po sir..." (HINDI NAMAN PROVINCE ANG DAVAO EH! PERTEH!)
Sir: "May varsity team ka na..?"

PErteh. At that moment, parang natulala lang ako. PRAMIS!

Ako: "Sir..?"
Sir: "Sali ka sa varsity team ng Arnis! Sige na!"
Ako: "aaah..."
Sir: "Sige na..."
Ako: "pag-iisipan ko muna sir. kakausapin ko muna parents ko..."

PErteh...

Kaya naman, ginugulo ako ng pangyayaring 'yon. Nakaka-overwhelm lang 'yung feeling na narealize ng isang all-time champ ng arnis na may potential akong maging magaling sa arnis. Goodness... Sobrang saya ng feeling. At the same time, nakakaconfuse.

Hmmm...

Magvavarsity team ba ako o hindi? Gaaaaahh...

Help me Lord.

>>>

UUWI NA AKO BUKAS!!! YEAAAAH!

ARAL

Bumili si Kuya Jon ng pagong at ipinangalanan niya itong TORT--in civil law, a wrongful act for which damages can be sought by the injured party.

Century tuna pa ang ipinakakain ni Kuya Jon dito. Ang cute-cute talaga ni Tort--that is, until nakita ko siyang patay na sa kanyang basin.

Naku. Patay na pagong. Nakakaawa.

Kuya Jon: "Here Lies Tort, My First Dorm Pet. May He Rest In Peace."

>>>

Long tests... Physics. Math.

Aral nang aral nang aral nang aral nang aral...

Buti nalang may study group ako! Ang sayang mag-aral (hanggang 12midnight) kasama sina Niña, Jerold, Luis, at Mara.

Ika nga ni Alec, "For the Love of Education Mode"

Yeah!

Alrayt!

ANGHEL

Opo... Ang anghel ng Illumina06 ay nagdedebut nga ngayon.

ANGELA S. BELGERA

Marl, Matakot Ka.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY! IKAW ANG ikatlong babaeng naging legal na sa Illumina.

Anj, Ikaw ba 'yan?

Salamat sa lahat kaibigan. Dahil sa'yo, naging makulay ang mundo ko sa high school. We shared a lot of things with each other--natatandaan mo ba 'yung mga endless skyflakes at chicharong masarap? 'Yung mga tuksuhan, at mga pa-clingcling mo pa diyan. Kahit 'yung mga problemang walang katapusan. Naku Anj... I may have been so weak without you.

Ganda namin dito. Ang pumalag, pangit.

Thanks for the friendship, for the guidance (kahit minsan nauuwi ang lahat sa samaan ng loob), and of course, for the love!

God bless you Anj! Di bale, kung makapag-ipon man ako ng napakalaking pera (that is kung di ako kakain ng isang buong taon) bibilhan ko ng roundtrip ticket ang lalabs mong si Marl.

Hinding-hindi ko maipagpapalit sa kahit anumang bagay ang divine friendship na inaalay mo sa akin. Kaya ikaw---bigyan mo ako ng mouse sa Enero (dapat black na optical mouse. salamat kaibigan!).

Sige bai... Labyu!

TO THE ONE AND THE ONLY

KATHLEEN JOYCE "DOLSKEE" DOLORES,

Pwede nang maging commericial ad ng sabong panlaba.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY! Ikaw ang ikalawang babaeng naging 18 sa Illumina.

Words aren't enough to completely describe what we've been through all these years. My life wouldn't have been SO GREAT if you weren't there to keep me from losing myself throughout gradeschool and highschool.

Thanks for the treasured friendship. I would've been such a fool if you weren't there.

Thanks. Thanks! Thanks.

Salamat Kat...

Etong video ay pampabawi sa lahat ng mga ginawa mo sa akin. I labyu KAT! (Much thanks to Jason who uploaded this video.)

>>>

Ok now...

Balik sa pag-aaral.

NERD

Hala! I'm officially a nerd.

I'm currently stuck in the dorm because of this seemingly unending physics and math problem sets. I still have to read (and reread) chapters 1 to 5 for my upcoming physics long test on wednesday. I must practice solving problems harder because I'll have a math (calc) long test on thursday.


Ha...

But still, I have to give an update of the events that occurred recently.

Yes. We we're able to attend the Skechers Street Dance Competition. Kasama ko sina Bex, Jacques, Tal, Migs, KBo, CJ, Ate Reys, and the other UPDil people. I happened to sit on the UP area (kasi naman ang layo ng Ateneo plus wala akong kakilala sa mga Atenista na nandoon). I cheered for CADs ( i love ateneo), Xavier High (haaai...), and UP StreetDancers.

Sa Araneta. Skechers Street Dance Competition


With Tal, Bex, and Jak


Ako at Tal

Without a doubt, nanalo ang UP Street. Xavier ang nanalo sa high school level. Sayang ang AdMU. Kulang kasi ang performance nila eh--maganda pero kulang.

As usual, we have our Katip night-out every monday. For the past two weeks, we went to Pizza Hut and Bubble Gang Toppings. Ok lang naman ang mga pagkain doon. Ang bilis ng pagseserve ng food ng Pizza Hut (surprising, diba?)

Ang sarap ng pizza


Rae, Ako, Bex


Awkward moments. Tal, Cia, Lec.

Nagbunutan na kami ng mga blockmates ko. Sa December 15 na ang aming Christmas party. Sana naman maging masaya ito! Yey!!! Magpaparty kami after watching the Oblation Run (hehe).

>>>

Anyone who wants to view the BEST OF UP STREET DANCE?

Eto, si Bex pa mismo ang magprepresent.

Enjoy.

>>>

Lord, exams na next week.

Help me...

>>>

So again, I have to study.

I'm too old for the Mañana habit. And I don't want to be complacent in every task that I do.

Yes, I'm officially a nerd.

Eh dalawang klase lang naman ng tao ang nandito sa mundong ito:

Ang mga NERD at ang mga BOBO.

Ikaw, saan ka nabibilang?

THE HEBREW TALMUD SAYS

I received this text message from Ciara, and I wanted to share this thought to every one of you.

The Hebrew Talmud says:

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry because God counts her tears. Every tear a woman shed is equivalent of man's sacrifices in life. The woman came from a man's rib, not on his feet to be stepped on; not on his head to be superior, but on his side to be equal. Under his arms to be protected and near his heart to be loved..."

Char.

O sige. Balik na ako sa aking pag-aaral.

God bless people!

>>>

Let's pray for all the victims of the typhoon Reming (international name: Durian). I do hope they can recover as soon as possible. Let's give out a helping hand. Let's always remember that we're all Filipinos. Let's help each other.

THIS NEED TO FOCUS

Bumabagyo na naman.

Buti nga hindi gaanong naapektuhan ang Metro Manila. Mapayapa pa naman ang Katipunan sa mga oras na 'to.

Holiday ngayon, kaya wala ring pasok. Kaya't heto ako ngayon, nakakulong sa loob ng Dormitoryana.

I did my best in solving the problem set for physics. Argh. Perteh. Hindi ko masolve-solve! I need to exert MORE EFFORT on this. Apparently, the people who are good in physics are busy with their own homeworks. Ayoko silang gambalain ng mga sarili kong problema. It has dawned on me that I must really solve this ON MY OWN. Haah. Perteh. Physics pa talaga. Help.ME.LORD.

Our Fil prof gave us a homework last tuesday, to be submitted next tuesday. It's a one-page essay with the theme "anong sasabihin ng isang pusa sa isang maulan na araw?" Perteh. What the heck would a cat say to the rainy day? Perteh naman oh... Kung pwede lang sana maging pilosopo, isang salita lamang ang maaring sabihin ng pusa sa isang maulan na araw:

"Meow"

Ano pa ba, diba?

Perteh.

I must finish this homework before midnight. As of now, I must indulge myself with physics problems. thhhhh... Tapos noon, magma-math ako.

Focus dan... focus.

HELP ME LORD.

>>>

Tomorrow (morning), our block is going to visit the people in the Correctional Institute for Women. I just can't wait to meet a murderer! I'll probably get some tips from her... Waaa.

And tomorrow night, we're (with Bex and Tal) going to the Araneta Colesium to watch the Skechers StreetDance Competition. Yes. Sasali ang UP Street Dancers. And of course, sasali rin ang CADs (Company of Ateneo Dancers). I'll support both of them. Hahaha :))

>>>

REMINDER LANG:

OBLATION RUN na sa DECEMBER 15!!! SUGOD mga KAPATID!

Waaa...

Thank God I'm free on that day. Hanggang 11:30am lang class ko niyan! Yeah!

UNDER THE WEATHER

Sumakit ang tiyan ko kagabi. As in, SOBRANG SAKIT.

May blinding effect pa nga eh. I thought I was going to pass out when I was taking a shower.

I lost almost 2 liters of water, plus the electrolytes vital for a sound mind and body.

Kaya naman, nilunod ko ang sarili ko ng Gatorade.

Apat na bote na ang nauubos ko. One more to go.

Uminom na ako ng 2 tables of Buscopan plus 3 tablets of Loperamide.

Plus, sumakit pa ang ulo ko. So, uminom ako ng 2 tablets of paracetamol.

Hindi ko natapos ang problem set for physics.

Hindi pa ako desidido sa topic ko for en12.

Hindi pa ako nakakapag-aral ng ma17.

Dapat ko pang gawin ang share ko sa postlab for ps15.1.

Perteh. Perteh. Perteh. Perteh. Perteh!!!

Just give me a cure for dehydration.

SECOND SEM BLUES

Haai naku... Second sem na pala!

Dapat pala inuupdate ko ang mga pangyayari sa buhay ko.

Sisingitin ko muna itong video about our Katip nightout last Nov.20:



So, sige. Let me start by talking about KBo's debut. Nagparty kami sa KFC. Mabuti naman at naging matagumpay ito. Naging masaya si Kbo.

DEBUT NI KBO

For more pics, just click the following link:

DEBUT NI KBO / NOV 2K6

Ayun. 'Yun lang.

Last weekend, Nov 18-19, dumayo kami sa bahay ng mga Camarao sa may Sucat. Blessing kasi ng bahay nina Tal. Inimbita rin niya kaming mag-overnight dito. Anim kaming mga taga THE FORCE ang sama-samang nag-enjoy (ba't kasi wala 'yung 3 pa eh.). Nanood kami ng mga sine sa kanilang family room. Ang sarap pa ng hinanda nilang mga pagkain para sa amin--lalo na 'yung baked mac. Ang babait pa ng pamilya ni Tal sa amin.

BALUARTE NG MGA CAMARAO

Ang saya talaga ng weekend na 'yon. For more pics, just click the following link:

BALUARTE NG MGA CAMARAO

Pumunta si Pare dito sa Maynila. Kagabi, kumain kami sa Via Mare's Oyster Bar sa Greenbelt. Ang sarap-sarap! Sana laging pumupunta si Pare dito para malasap ko ang mga natitikman ni Tito Et dati. Nakuu... Ang sarap!

Talaba!


Angel's hair

I miss my Pare!

Our classes started last Nov. 13. I'm happy to know that I now have a Math prof who really does teach Math (last sem kasi, tinuturuan namin ang mga sarili namin! waaa...). I still have the same profs for English and Lit. Ok lang naman ang prof ko sa Physics. Hindi na si Sir Capilos ang prof ko for Fil (I'm really going to miss him... as in!). I got into Arnis for my PE.

English 12. Research Paper Writing. Well, in my case, we're going to write 1 argumentative reasearch paper and 1 reflection paper. Nah... Perteh! Ba't hindi kasi scientific 'yung research?! Perteh. Issues ito!!! May panel defense pa! Limited time!

Lit 14. Intro to Poetry. Yes. I'm hoping that I'm going to be a poet in the end of the sem. Sa simula, hindi ko talaga maintindihan ang mga tula. PERTEH! Subalit, nararamdaman ko naman na makakabawi ako. Nagsimula 'yon kahapon--when we talked about the poem ONE ART by Elizabeth Bishop. As in, I can surely explain it to you. So far in our course, this has been my favorite.

"The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster..."

Ps 14.1 & Ps 15.1. General Physics for Health Science Lec & Lab. Haaa... What can I say about Physics? Sir Angel kasi noong highschool, tinakot ako. Waaa... But I'm looking forward in this course. In the end of a dark tunnel is a light that brightens one's soul.

Ma 17. Applied Calculus in Biology. OK. Yakang-yaka 'to!

PE 115. Arnis. Astig ito! Instructor namin si Sir Gialogo--6 time national champ sa Arnis! Arnis is a Filipino Martial Art. So far, I'm enjoying this course kahit na may sugat na ang dalawang kamay ko dahil sa friction sa pagitan ng baston at ng aking mga kamay.

Second Sem. Yakang-yaka 'to! God Help ME.

Yesterday, I've conquered step 1.
Honestly, I'm quite doubtful if I'm going to continue to step 2.
I want to take that step.
I want to. Need to.
Just help me God.

Birthday pala ng blockmate ko ngayon! Happy 18th birthday Kate Cembrano! Stay happy! God bless!

NO TIME

I've been dealing with a lot of poems nowadays (thank you lit 14!) that I suddenly remembered this poem I've read on my mom's office table in Davao. This poem just pierces right through my heart, and I admit the fact that I was guilt-ridden after I've read this.

Now, I'm going to share this with you, people, for this poem reflects a part of what I'm experiencing in college. Seryoso na 'to.

NO TIME

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My duty toward god was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of God to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last it was the time to die.

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said:
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

Read that. Feel that. Understand that.

For today, I begin a new life.

SEMBREAK 2006

KBO'S DEBUT/NOVEMBER 2006

Pasukan na naman... Aral tayo ng mabuti ha.

WALANG INTERNET

Dahil sa mga computers dito sa Ateneo, nakakapaginternet parin ako.

Perteh, hindi pa kasi bumabalik 'yung babae sa dorminet eh. Nagbabakasyon pa raw.

Kelangan ko pa naman ng internet as soon as possible. Lahat ng readings namin for Lit14 ay ipapadala na via e-mail!

Perteh talaga oh!

Pics will be available in my next post.

Sige.sige.

Babay!

YEY

ANG SAYA KO NGAYON!

Thank YOu LORD For Helping Me!

And to all the people (you know who you all are) thanks for all the help you've given me the past sem.

I offer this to all of you.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

AKO'Y NASA OPISINA NI PARE

Naku. Nandito na naman ako ngayon sa opisina ni Pare.

Ang hina kasi ng internet sa bahay. Perteh.

Tama, hindi ako naka-attend ng Batch Party last Wednesday. Perteh kasi itong asthma ko.

Pero, bumawi ako noong Friday! Pumunta kami ng Pisay! After that, umattend kami ng birthday party ni Sara!

Happy Birthday ulit Sar!

Nakuu... Ang saya-saya!

Ang sayang makitang muli sina Marian, CJ, Jeijei, Kathleen, Sha, Yek, Jess, Arch, Toneh, AteReys... Hai naku. Ang saya!

Ang saya ring makitang muli ang mga teachers ko sa pisay! Pati na ang ibang mga estudyante na nandoon sa pisay!

Haaai... Ang Saya!

>>>

On our way to Sara's house, na-snatch ang bag ni Dabyang.

Nasa jeep na kami noon. May sumabit na lalaki sa may door. Sninatch niya ang bag ni Dabyang.

Ang bilis ng mga pangyayari... Traumatic.

But then, the very next day, na-retrieve ni Dabyang ang mga ninakaw sa kanya. Thanks to her astig na tatay.

You mess with a policeman's daughter, you also mess with the policeman.

Kasalukuyang nakakulong ang pertehng lalaking 'yon sa presohan.

Kasalukuyan ding nagtetext si Dabyang sa kanyang tunay na minamahal.

>>>

I'm going back to Manila in 5 days.

Time just flies so fast that I couldn't keep track of everything!

>>>

I got my hair done yesterday (with my cousins).

Kaya kayo, PREPARE!

>>>

Grades... Grades...

HAAAAAAAAAAH!

DAVAO BEYBEH

Yes! Nandito na nga ako sa Davao.

Hilong-hilo talaga ako during our flight from Manila to Davao. Ang daming turbulence na pinagdaanan ng eroplano. Grabeh. Na-delay din ang flight namin for almost an hour. Sabi nga nila, 90% on time raw ang flights ng Cebu Pacific. Sa tingin ko naman, naexperience namin 'yung 10% of that last Saturday. Gabi na kami nakarating nina Kbo--mga around 6:10pm yata 'yon.

Haai naku. At nakita ko na rin ulit ang pamilya ko. Napakasaya! Grabeh.

The food... Ang kare-kare my goodness... Ang sarap! Baka tumaba na naman ako nito.

>>>

Naku. 'Di na yata ako nasanay sa weather ng Davao.

Alam niyo bang nagkasakit ako kaagad yesterday (hanggang ngayon actually). Severe cough and colds. Pramis. Sayang nga hindi ako makalabas ng bahay dahil dito. Ang dami ko pa namang plans. Kaso, hindi natuloy.

*cough* *cough*

Naku. Tatlong tablets na ang iniinom ko three times a day. Perteh talaga. Niresetahan na naman ako ni Mare.

Sana maging ok na ako bukas.

>>>

Bukas, magkakaroon ng Batch Party sa bahay ni Jason. Sana naman maging successful ito. Sana makapunta ang 95% ng batch namin. I can't wait for the blue berry cheesecake at lasagna na unlimited.

Tataba na naman ako. WEH!

>>>

Nagimprove ang bahay namin. Finally, tapos na rin ang lahat ng construction.

>>>

Pumunta sina Marian, Izy, at Kbo dito sa bahay kahapon unexpectedly. Nanood kami ng My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Long-haired na si Marian.

Ang babaw ng My Super Ex-Girlfriend. SOBRANG BABAW. Hindi sulit panoorin sa sinehan. Mas ok na kung bibili ka ng pirated DVD nito. Makakatulog ka sa pagkababaw nito. Horny pa ang mga characters sa film. Kaya siguro nagustuhan ng konti ni Kbo. Waaa... Just.Kidding.

>>>

The best show on earth is Grey's Anatomy.

At nagmamarathon ako dito sa bahay these days. Ang ganda-ganda talaga! Astig. Eto ang karamay ko sa aking cough and colds. Somehow, this show makes me feel better.

>>>

Kelangan ko ng cuban attire by november 25. Dapat inspired ng 50's. Help me. I'm not good at this stuff.

>>>

I'm worried about my grades. Sana naman pumasa ako. Ayoko rin 'yung feeling na "konti nalang madi-DL na sana." Ayoko rin 'yung feeling na "perteh, paano na ang scholarship ko?"

God, I just want everything to be all right. I did what I had to do.

But still, it's probably not my best. Haai...

Basta, sana... Alam mo na.

Haaaai...

BAGONG LAY-OUT

Actually, colors lang ang nag-iba.

This blog is best viewed in IE. Perteh kasi ba... Hindi nagsusupport ng Firefox ang Cbox! Hindi narerecognize ng Firefox na dapat naka-center 'yung header ko...

Anyway, I'm going to Davao tomorrow...

So, see you soon guys!

Teka, ok lang ba itong bago kong lay-out? or balik ko nalang 'yung dati?

Haaai naku.

TAPOS NA ANG FIRST SEM

Oo... Tapos na nga ang first sem!

Tapos na rin ako sa lahat ng mga papers ko! Yahoo!!! (all I have to do is pass all my papers tomorrow).

Oo nga pala, may utang pa pala ako sa mga readers ko. Nagkaroon kami ng konting kainan ng mga Katips at Kalai pips sa KFC last last Monday with Ma'am Verga. Ang saya kaya... Ayos pala kung kasama si Ma'am Verga. May libreng ice cream.

Tama, birthday pa pala ni Becky last Oct6. May konting surprise nga kami para sa kanya eh.

Medyo kinabahan nga kami kasi baka 'di matuloy. Umuulan kasi ng napakalakas that time. Pero tinahak parin namin 'yon para lang masurprise si Bex. Thank God, everything went well that Thursday night.

Belated Happy Birthday Bex!

Anyway, let me go back to what I was saying earlier. Tama, ang saya kung nandiyan sina Ma'am Verga. Here are some pics from that event:

Oh tukso... Layuan mo akoo...


Migs, Bex, Ces


Dareen, Pearl, Ruth, Lec

Tapos na ang aming orals sa fil last friday.

THANK YOU GOD FOR GUIDING ME!


I'm just so glad because I was able to answer Sir Capilos's question well. Na-apir narin niya ako sa wakas! (twice pa!)

For the next sem, I believe that it's still "ok" to be in Sir Capilos's class. At least, I know that I'm really learning a lot from him. (despite all the tremendous failures i've encountered in his class)


I also like my Math class... Because this was the only math class that makes me realize that I'm good in math. :)

Biolab is fun. Promise.

My English class is also fun.

My Lit class challenges me to look deep within all those texts that we discuss in class. It challenges me to apply the lessons I've learned in Fil class in this class. From Lit, I've come to learn how to FINALLY read between the lines and look past all the things that are presented in the text. Moreover, my Lit class made me discover the fact na nag-iisip pala talaga ako.

Health Sem made me realize that when your vocation becomes a job--get out of it! (this is the thing that we must tell all those doctors who suddenly shifts and become n*rs*s just to go abr*ad. ok, i'll end here. ang dami kong kaibigan na nurses/nagnu-nursing. i don't want to initiate feuds.)

PE helped me choose what shoes are best for my feet. And it also made me realize that Gatorade is the best thirst quencher when doing an exercise. (KAPAG NAGEEXERCISE LANG.)

My Bio class inspired me more to become a doctor. It made me realize that I CAN DO THIS. Through this class, I met Dr. Jugo, and his poem will remain in me forever.

Intact is ok.

And it's because of college that I've become closer to Him. And that couldn't compensate all the fulfillment I've experienced in my other classes.

Come forth, Second sem...

Pero, sembreak muna, please.

>>>

Yey! I'm going home this Saturday!

Davao, here I come!!!

SUPERTYPHOON

September 29 - 30, 2006... Dumating si Milenyo sa buhay ko.

Perteh talaga. FIRST TIME kong makatikim ng hanep na bagyo sa buhay ko. Nakakita na rin ako ng lumilipad na yero! Pinasukan pa kami ng tubig sa kwarto. BAsag ang lahat ng glass sa ceiling sa floor namin. Tumba lahat ng tanim. WAla kaming kuryente for one and a half days.

PErteh. First time kong makita ang napakadilim na Katipunan.

Nasa internet cafe nga ako ngayon. Sira pa kasi ang server namin sa dorm eh. Kailangan ko rin kasi ng internet. Long quiz namin about Chronicle of a Death Foretold bukas! Haai nalang... Pray for me people!

Magfa-Finals na! YEAH! Study mode...

>>>

Last Sunday, pumunta kami ng mga blockmates ko sa Araneta Colesium para manood ng UAAP Finals. PErteh... Ang ganda at napaka-exciting ng game 1!!! Upper Box B pa kami! First time ko pa namang manood ng UAAP sa Araneta. Thank God nanalo ang AdMU.

Kahapon, nanood na naman kami sa Araneta. General admissions lang kami, kaso itong blockmate ko na si Luis tinuruan akong tumalon from General admissions na bleachers pababa sa Upper Box B na chairs. YeaH!

Pero natalo ang AdMU eh... Hahaii... Sige nalang, bawi nalang sa Thursday!

#17, #18, #5, #6, #7... THe best!

Nawala ang eyeglasses ko... Nawala yata sa tricycle journey ko from MiniStop to Ken Afford kagabi. Buti nalang sinamahan ako ni KBo kanina sa Gateway at nakabili ako ng bagong eyeglasses...

PEro perteh... I am SO POOR.

Mamamayat na ako sa kakatipid the next days hanggang Oct. 21. Halos mamulubi na ako dahil sa aking eyeglasses.

I never imagined the eyeglasses would be that expensive. ANG LENSES KASI ANG NAGPAMAHAL!

Anyway, dapat mag-improve talaga ang performance ko sa school. Bagong eyeglasses eh. Dapat better performance!

>>>

Magfa-Finals na!

Uuwi na ako!!! yey!
