...woke up around 7:30 am... ate some breakfast... put some warm water on my bath and there i went. I dressed up, wore my Chucks and prepared myself. Ready to go...
My first class was Soc Sci 197. Our Prof, Ma'am Lelet, just introduced herself and gave the requirements for the class. It was also an SOP during first days to give our classcards, and that was it. We were dismissed early.
Next class will start by 1 pm. Econ 171.
So i have to go and eat some lunch first.
BAD NEWS:
Since class just began... there would be less time for blogging.
Oh no...

Sembreak officially started!
The bus I took yesterday began it's trip by 12:30pm. After my Econ 141 exam, i packed my things and off i went. On the bus, I met Ate Joy, a 4th year psychology student at PUP, and we began chatting the whole trip. And I bet you she's so nice, inside and out. We even exchanged numbers.
After saying goodbye, I stepped down and went directly to our terminal where my brother fetched me.
I arrived home by 5:20pm (my brother stayed at the park to buy something, he said) and saw my dad at the back of the house.
I slept peacefully for the first time after this semester.

I woke up (or rose, rather) past 9am... took sopas as my breakfast, then read Veronica Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho (which I bought a few months ago, hope i could also watch the film version of it!), ate lunch, read, slept, read again, helped my mom with the laundry stuff, ate dinner then used the Internet by past 11pm.
Woah..
this is what i missed!
Life without rules (much rules i mean...)...
Hope my break would just be fine....
and not over before i knew it!
I'm just starting to have fun!
Great!

Papa Phone...
I just remember, it was just yesterday that i was talking to some people here at the College of Social Sciences' Dean's Office (Ms. Thea, Ate Lean, Manang Jen) about mobile phones and about our relatives who text and forgets to text us. I was just sharing that my dad don't have a phone since he's just staying at home.

And just a few moments ago (around 11am today), I received a message from my Mom telling me to text my Dad because he got a new phone. Haha...
I already texted him. Kaso di pa nagrereply eh.
I think I have to wait more minutes. He doesn't like texting much. He prefers calls. Rich!
PS:
It's good to be back.
I've been very busy due to loads of school works (exams, papers, reporting, duty).
Hope you all continue visiting my page. Thanks!

Kreativ Blogger (daw...)

Before anything else, I want to deeply say my thanks to SassyChick for sharing this award with me. This is my first award and I'm not really expecting this. I received it last August 6, but i just posted it today because I've been busy the past weeks.
---------------------
-------------------------------
Rules: To accept this award, do the following (as copied from Sass):
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Done with it!)
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
(You can see it there!)
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
(Link above pls.)
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
Hmmm..di ako sure kung interesting 'tong mga 'to eh, pero anyways, I'll just cite random stuffs ha..
1. I don't drink coffee. Di ko lang siguro talaga feel. Kahit kasi sa bahay wala naman nagkakape. My mom don't drink it. And si Papa naman Milo or milk ang iniinom. Pero i love anything na mocha-flavored. Haha..
2. I put a small pillow in my tummy before i sleep. It just started around end of June this year. May stomachache kasi ako, tapos di ako makatulog...eh i really wanna sleep. Wlala akong gamot sa boarding house, and wala din ako maisip na pwedeng gawin. Ayun, parang effective naman sa'kin. Tapos may instant na kayakap pa. Haha.. So now i'm doing it every night.
3. Sorry ha, di rin po pala ako kumakain ng dinuguan. Ewan ko. Nung bata ako ok lang naman. Ngayon meydo choosy na ako. Haha...ewan.
4. Corny na entry 'to ha. Just wanna state that my favorite color is blue. Basta yun.
5. I love listening to music, pero di ako singer. Gusto ko lang talaga makinig and kumanta kahit di ako musically-gifted. Crush ko si Yael of Sponge Cola kahit maraming nang-aaway sa kanya. I also love Parokya niu Edgar, Urbandub, Pupil, Simple Plan, Coldplay, Linkin' Park, Lifehouse, The Script, Greenday, ...and many, many more!
6. I hate the rain. I really, really do! Marami ditong blogs that would prove that. Ang gloomy kasi. Tapos ang boring, di makalabas. Ayoko rin kasing nababasa ang paa, shoes, legs and pants ko. Ayun. And madilim. I'm literally sad kung umuulan. Sorry ha.
7. I really love books. Books na international. I don't buy Filipino books sa totoo lang. Sige, awayin nyo na ako pero ganun talaga. Feeling ko lang kasi i gain more wisdom from internationally published books. Ayun.
(*Hay...hirap magsabi ng 7 things about myself...haha*)

Let's help save Lives: Donate Blood to Red Cross
Kahapon lang, after ng Econ 141 class ko, nag-fill-up ako ng form and nagpacheck-up sa clinic. Good thing, approved naman ang health ko. Why? I want to donate some blood.
Kaya di na ako nagduty ng hapon.
This bloodletting is an annual project of Alpha Phi Omega (APO) in cooperation with the Philippine National Red Cross. At first, ayaw sana ng university doctor kasi slightly kulang yung weight ko required weight. Dapat at least 110 lbs., eh 103 lbs. lang daw ako. Poor me. Pero sinabi ko naman na kaya ko (I suppose..) and given na almost 5'2" naman yung height ko, pinayagan na rin ako.
So i proceed sa location and pinilit pa rin magrelax para sa bloodtyping ko. First time eh. Sabi nila nasakit yun. Buti na lang mabilis lang. Di ko talaga tinignan yung daliri ko na tinusok ng mabilis para natest yung dugo. At eto pa, Type B pala ako. All these time, akala ko Type O, yun din kasi yata nakasulat sa birth certificate ko. Yun din nakasulat sa lahat ng IDs and documents ko. Oh my!
Before 4pm, nirerelax ko na yung sarili ko. We were almost the last batch yesterday. Nakakaloka pa kasi ang dami nilang naghanap ng vein ko na pwedeng kunan ng dugo. Manipis daw kasi veins ko. Then, tinanong ko naman kung pano na kung ganun, aty sabi, "Mas malaki yung needle sa vein." O-M-G! Pero ok lang. Go pa rin!
So basta pinasikipan ko yung tali sa right arm ko at nagrequest ako sa isa pang volunteer dun na hawwakan ako ng mahigpit sa left hand para di ko masyadong maramdaman yung pagtusok ng karayom. Ilang seconds lang, ayun...relax na uli.
Ang bilis daw ng blood flow. Good. Di naman pala ganun kasakit unlike what i've expected.
After mapuno yung blood bag ng 450ml, rest na konti and umuwi na pagkatapos. It's a nice feeling. Try nyo rin.
Donate blood.
Save lives.
Save lives.

i saw the solar eclipse this morning!!! first time ko!

While being bothered the past days about the continuous rainy and cloudy skies, this morning sun assured me that there's no need to fret. Yes, dahil doon, I was able to see the solar eclipse habang nasa duty (Student Assistant kasi ako sa college namin) at pinapunta sa Institute of Management. Merong ilang employees na tumitingin at may hawak silang film. Eh napadaan naman daw ako, ayun pinasilip sa'kin.
Ako naman, parang bata kasi first time ko nga nakakita ng ganun. Kahit di total eclipse, ok na rin...at least nawitness ko yun kahit papano - the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century...=)

Media Studies 11... so much fun...
It's our first official day of class in MS 11 this day. It's because Sir Amor got sick last week after leaving the country the weekend before that.
Well, initially I felt nervous since I didn't know what to expect - except for the recitation/ active participation part (I really don't like talking in front of my classmates, as in yung recitation mode). But after Sir's warm welcome and as he discussed the syllabus and the introduction to the course, I felt more relaxed. Lucky for me kasi may sense of humor si Sir. The class is never boring. And I felt more confident to answer his questions.
Hope that this confidence would last until the end of the sem.

Police cousin dropped by, saw him after almost a decade!
..while i was finishing Death on the Diagonal this afternoon, an official ride having guys who wore army-type clothing stopped in front of our house. Then a man in uniform stepped down and entered through our gate without knocking. I almost stood up to ask what he wants or why was he here or who was he. But then, when this guy as almost a few steps from our door, Papa recognized him as my cousin - the son of his late brother.
And then I realized that he was indeed Kuya Dos (Ramon Villa II). He said that they accompanied Congressman Antonino, whom I saw later on the prime time news.
Well, I thought they were some kind of an army or something like that.
Dad came out to talk o him and my brother called my Aunt so she could talk to him as well.
I'm now an incoming 3rd year college student, and I think the last time I saw him when when i was only Grade IV. Around 9-10 years had passed. We had a graduation picture of him kept somewhere (inserted in a photo album, i guess). And maybe that pic is more than 10years old now. But i know his facial features haven't changed much. He still looked the same. Cute, round face. Always with a smile, like Uncle Ramon.
His comrades also stepped out of their vehicle and talked to Papa and Auntie as well. They just had a short chat. Good thing, they passed our house on their way back. That gave him the slight opportunity to drop by.
He also gave me his number (maybe Papa said so) but i think it's good have a contact with a cousin whom I haven't spoken yet, actually.
After a while, they bid goodbye and continued their way home.
Well, Pop was indeed happy to see him. Even for a while.

first time in SAGADA...and i loved it!!!! really loved it!!!!
...It was for our last class meeting actually... for my PE2 class (Outdoor Recreation) with Sir Florendo,..at Sagada, Mountain Province -- my first time to reach his place.
We rode a bus and travelled the rough and curvy dirt road for a totally sleepless 6-hour drive.
It was really exhausting since I'd always got head bumps from left to right.
Around lunch time, we were able to reach our inn. We settled for a while - relaxed, change our clothes, ate our lunch and rest for a few hours. Then we made our way to Sumaguing Cave. We walked until we reached the St. Mary the Virgin Parish...took some pictures and started moving again.

At the entrance of the church...
Walk. Walk. Walked to the slope. In the road.
Passing countless stores, restaurants ans inns.
It was really a long walk.
Exhausting as I would describe it.
Literally.
Walk. Walk. Walk. And more walk.
Houses. Pine trees. Tourists.
Then it began to rain a little...
then it grew stronger.
But we kept our pace.
I think we walked around 5 kilometers. I'm not really sure. I'm bad at estimates.
When we reached the cave entrance, we grouped ourselves.
But first, we gathered at the opening to have a brief history of then place.
It was discovered decades ago and they said that Sumaguing Cave is the largest cave in the Philippines... and it was really great to have known that fact!
It was discovered decades ago and they said that Sumaguing Cave is the largest cave in the Philippines... and it was really great to have known that fact!
Then we had our line which was lead by Sir Florendo followed by our group. The guides said that the slowest should go first to decide our phasing. So here we go!!!
At the first part, it was so slippery we needed to help each other out. The stones and steps were slippery because of mud. And as the other ones, this cave have lots of bats on the ceiling... undoubtedly making the area sting. It's like there were tiny Batmans hanging above us!
When we reached the interior of the cave, we put our slippers off and began our spelunking with bare feet. This time it was easier since the formations weren't slippery after all. It was also easier since our guides were really expert of the place, like they can jump here to there with such an ease.
You can really witness how God was so great with the magnificence of the cave - the color inside, the ice-cold, clear, flowing water , the stalagmites and stalactites, the really small holes where just one person could pass through... There were really great formations in there. I really enjoyed the scene. We were saying that we would like to live in that place... Of course, that was a joke.
Here are some pictures inside the mighty cave:
Come in and see....
Prepare to be enchanted...
Pictures began here... haha... cam addicts!
Going deeper...

I'm the one of he 6 persons who descended through this rope!
The famous "King's Curtain."
A view from the inside...
Imagination works here...
haha...
Pics with Jen, Laila and Je-al....

Class picture.... all in wide smiles!!!!
As we were trying to make our way through the very narrow space inside...
And thank God we made it!!!!
Pictures with Sir Florendo and Sir Perry...
I love the water...though it was really really freezing cold!
Water flowing everywhere....
Nice formations on our backs, right?
We love to stay here....!!!
Going up his time...
We're almost on our way out... oh no....!!
Cute pic...
Last picture while we took our exit from the cave.
All were happy to survive the spelunking experience!
Just a picture at the inn where we stayed for the night.
It took us around 2 hours until we came out. It was such a nice experience. The cold water made me chill but it was part of the picture.
I really want to be back someday... with my family of course.
I want to show them the beauty of this cave...
plus some other tourist spots here that we were unable to explore.
We were able to travel home by 1pm the next day.
Another 6-hour travel.
And I was home at the dorm by around 7:30pm. Just on the right time.
Yes, it was exhausting.
But nothing can replace my experience there...
We made lots of happy memories in this place.
And i really look forward for my next visit here.

first time to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish...
Since I'd been to many churches here in Baguio, it was my long-time aim to visit/ attend a mass to all the Catholic churches here.
Some of the churches that i already visited are non-Catholic because of invitations from friends and schoolmates...(Iglesia ni Cristo, Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary, University Baptist Church, Victory/ Every Nation Campus Ministry) and i like the idea of attending these churches since i also want to know how other religions conduct their masses...
Yesterday, for the first time, I attended the mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, in Kisad Road, Baguio City...
Good thing, i still found a vacant seat...then i took my place.
During the mass, I saw my blocmate Jose at the far side. He gave his seat to a lady in purple carrying a child, and stood at the back... how courteous.
I wasn't able to listen perfectly since half of the attendance were children who stood three and a half feet and below - many were running, ascending the stairs, giggling over the bridge, and as expected, some were trowing tantrums. OH dear...
But was a nice church...
Lots of people attended. I even saw some familiar faces.
I'm sure I'll bring my family here once we all got the opportunity to stay...

my Mom and I near Burnham Park during Panagbenga last February...
so color coordinated, huh?
yeah...
but pink is not our favorite color, mine is blue and hers is green...
well, i will not be spending Mother's Day with her for the first time because i'm here in Baguio for my summer class (which doesn't really seem to be summer at all due to the RAINS!!).
hope she'll have a nice and memorable day tomorrow...
i'll just be whispering my sweet prayer for her like what i'm always doing for all of them...

Camp John Hay Eco Trail for PE2 summer class
i woke up early this morning to prepare for the first meeting of my PE class (Outdoor Recreation). when we arrived in our room, Sir Florendo just started discussing our course outline.
after a few more words, he said that we could have our break for around 20-30 minutes before our first activity - we will be travelling be foot to Camp John Hay to finish the Eco Trail located there. i was really surprised by this early announcement. i was only wearing a sleeveless and a jacket on top, with my tight skinny jeans and posh flip flops...O-M-G! i wasn't even prepared for a walk. i thought that since this is the first day we were only about to submit our class cards to him. but since this was the class that i enrolled, i have no choice but to agree on whatever our Prof's decision will be.
After a few minutes, we gathered to the main entrance of the university and then we began to get moving. i walked with my friend Jenica who is a resident of the same dorm i'm staying in as well. we knew each other since first year and we've been classmates in most of our subjects the previous sem. another good this was that both of us wore the same type of clothing - at least may partner ako...haha.
i also enjoyed a number of bridges (hanging and wooded ones) which we passed in order to get to next place, which ironically Jenica hated the most. she even cried at the sight of the first hanging bridge we were about to pass.
it was almost an hour of ups, downs, curves, and skips before we were able to be on the main site. yes it was exhausting... really exhausting...
we rested for a couple of minutes and then started our way back...
oh no..
not again....
the sky is gray with heavy clouds...i'm really afraid it might rain.
oh i hate the rain!
so when Sir told us that we are dismissed once we finished our way back, we hastily get on our feet and walked as fast as we can with the most careful steps we were able to make.
another draining hour of walk.
walk. walk. walk. climb. descent. here and there.
this time, we were more relaxed since we already knew the path.
we were also able to take a few pictures even in the hanging bridge.
(midway, i saw a crab around 3 inches long. i tried to move it and saw it was alive indeed. i was shocked to see an orange crab on the woods... i even told my other classmates about it before moving forward. Sir Florendo saw it as well and said that one classmate took it with him...haha)
well... it was such a nice experience... though it really made both my feet tired. this is my first time to travel that trail and it was fulfilling for me.
hope for another crazy adventure from this class...
most especially, looking forward in going to Sagada before summer class ends...

we reached the gate and began the trail. the grass is wet due to the rain last night; the ground is muddy which made our descent more 'dangerous' since we were afraid of slipping here and there; the frogs are all noisy... making our trail more irritating for me. but despite all these, i really loves the scene - the tall pine trees, the dew on the leaves, the rays of the sun trying to penetrate through the woods, the imbalance between the coldness and the warmth in the trail.
i also enjoyed a number of bridges (hanging and wooded ones) which we passed in order to get to next place, which ironically Jenica hated the most. she even cried at the sight of the first hanging bridge we were about to pass.
it was almost an hour of ups, downs, curves, and skips before we were able to be on the main site. yes it was exhausting... really exhausting...
we rested for a couple of minutes and then started our way back...
oh no..
not again....
the sky is gray with heavy clouds...i'm really afraid it might rain.
oh i hate the rain!
so when Sir told us that we are dismissed once we finished our way back, we hastily get on our feet and walked as fast as we can with the most careful steps we were able to make.
another draining hour of walk.
walk. walk. walk. climb. descent. here and there.
this time, we were more relaxed since we already knew the path.
we were also able to take a few pictures even in the hanging bridge.
(midway, i saw a crab around 3 inches long. i tried to move it and saw it was alive indeed. i was shocked to see an orange crab on the woods... i even told my other classmates about it before moving forward. Sir Florendo saw it as well and said that one classmate took it with him...haha)
well... it was such a nice experience... though it really made both my feet tired. this is my first time to travel that trail and it was fulfilling for me.
hope for another crazy adventure from this class...
most especially, looking forward in going to Sagada before summer class ends...
