the best thing to do...

A text from a friend says,

"All suffering is caused by being in the wong place.

If you're unhappy where you are...

MOVE."

Tama nga naman. Baka kasi minsan, pinagpipilitan na lang natin isingit ang sarili natin sa posisyon sa di na tayo kailangan or sa lugar na dapat wala naman tayo. It would bring much pain if we insist ourselves and try hard to do things that don't demand our help.
---
On the other hand, meron pa namang mga instances that we really need to push ourselves to show to others what our point is; for them to see that our presence is important as well.

Let's just try to weigh the situation.
Think twice.

home at last...

It's a nice feeling that i was able to go home here at Tarlac after almost 3months of stay at Baguio City. Right after my class yesterday morning, Ate Mia and I went to SM to buy some stuff. When i reached my boarding house, i ate my lunch and began to pack my things...and i was ready to go.

The bad thing was that the rain began to pour really (as in really) hard after i was outside. And i cannot go back. So i was extreamly soaked when i reached Victory Liner. I bought a ticket by 2:40pm and the bus got moving 5mins later.

Nakakapagod ang byahe. As usual. Tapos for 4 hours i wasn't able o say a single word, except mung sinabi ko sa kundoktok kung saan ako bababa (na di rin naman nasunod).

Sison bus stop. Di naman ako bumababa.

All the way, paputol-putol ang ulan. Kala ko wala nang ulan sa Tarlac pero ang lakas-lakas pala. Kainis. And bumama ako lagpas ng dapat kong babaan. Pero ok lang. Badtrip lang talaga yung malakas na ulan kagabi.

Then nagcommute pa ako uli pauwi sa town namin.
Pag-uwi, sinalubong ako nila Mama ang Papa and my brothers. Ayun, sa wakas rest mode na ako. Feeling princess kasi dito. Go lang gumising na late at kumain anytime. Complete amenities.

Nakita ko rin sa church yung HS chums kong sina Inah and Onah. Kami-kami rin naman ang nagkikita-kita sa 4th mass kaya di na ako magtataka na sila pa rin makikita ko dun.

At eto ang pinakagusto ko - internet. Wala kasi nio sa Baguio. Meron naman actually pero sa school (sa library or comsci lab) or sa NetCafe na ang mahal-mahal naman. Bui pa dito libre lang.

Hay,,,sarap talaga ng feeling. Buti na lang walang pasok bukas and Baguio Day sa susunod. I'm sure ang next na uwi ko kasi sa sembreak na. Nothing can beat this feeling. There is really no place like home!

Hmmm..di ako sure kung interesting 'tong mga 'to eh, pero anyways, I'll just cite random stuffs ha..

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.

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.

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.

Imagine kung may Facebook na nung time ni Rizal and the rest of the gang...

or paano kaya kung may FACEBOOK na rin nung panahon ng KKK at ni Hen. AGUINALDO?


Haha....
Di ko ma-imagine!
Ang cool siguro!

carelessness,,,

...last Tuesday, the exam results of my Econ 106 (Mathematical Economics) {most difficult exam i had, so far} was given by our Prof, Ma'am Gladys.

Good news: Yes. I passes the exam.

Bad news: Sh*t! I lost a lot of points due to a wrong transfer of equations. The positive sign became negative, thus, making the rest of my solutions a big, wild mess.

Ok. Pumasa ako. Pero sayang pa rin yung points. I should have gotten more points for those wasted items. I hate my self for that.



Moral Lesson according to Prof. Astudillo:
(something like this, kasi sinabi lang din sa'kin to eh...)

"There is no cure for carelessness because it is not a disease."

Yeeesssss! Very true, di ba?

Lagi naming nireremind ni Ma'am Gladys pero di pa rin natutulo...
hay....

please pray for my Econ 121 (Monetary Economics) Exam!!!!

-----------------------------------O--o---------

-----o--O--------------------------------------

Today is the scheduled date of my Econ 121 1st long exam. It took us so much effort to study the lessons. After my class last Saturday morning, we had a group review 'til late in the evening on Ate Lean's crib.

A large part of the exam would be calculation because it is more on banking and finance (we looked like accountancy students).

• Balance Sheets
• Income Statements
• Funds Flow
• Profit Margin
• Turnovers
• and many, many more!
  

I almost didn't have time to sleep last night. Exam would be 4 - 6pm.

Hope to have more time to review after lunch (after my duty this morning).

Please pray for me guys.

Prayers are deeply appreciated.

Thanks!

Hope to survive this one!

Butterflies are wandering in my stomach for days due to this.... ugh!

no classes on Aug. 5...

basta yun..
ewan..
i'm not really sure why...
special non-working holiday daw..
basta i'm glad to have a break that day!
walang submission ng major paper on Econ 141 (International Economics)!

great!

SELF-CONCEPT, Psych 180)

Napanood mo ba ang SONA ni PGMA? Ako kasi hindi eh...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------o-O-o----------------------------------------

Bago ako pumunta sa school kaninang umaga, may nakita na ako agad na mga banners na nagsasabing, No to CHA-CHA, No to Con-As, etc. Because of this, I felt na seryosong rallies na naman ang magiging dahilan ng traffic, lalo na sa Metro Manila.

Well, alam ko namang importante sa ngayon ang SONA, lalo pa't ang dami-daming issues na binabato sa administration, pero, di ko lang alam bakit tinamad akong manood. Kasi naman alam ko ring may summary 'to mamaya sa news. At ang highlight: ang bilang ng palakpak kay Gloria - Palakpak para sa mga bagay na insignificantly done, masabi lang na may nagawa s'ya at may mga balak pa s'ya para sa Pilipinas.

I'm not sure pero parang nagplaplastikan na lang silang lahat. Yung mga supporters nya, either talagang sa kanya kumakampi noon pa, or sa kanya na lang dumidikit to feed their personal interests. Kanya-kanyang paraan lang yan.

And the opposition: Ayun. Continuous pa rin ang battle agains what they think about her and her toxic governance.

Last week lang, ang USC (University Stuident Council) sa UP Baguio ay nagset-up ng funeral-type setting sa lobby. Para kay Gloria. For her Lies. Aginst CHA-CHA. For Democracy. Against her tactics.

By Friday, nagkaron pa ng program about this. (Pero di ako sumali. Wala lang uli.)

(University of the Philippines, Baguio City)
-July 21-24, 2009-

Di ko na talaga alam kung may future pa tayo. If she says something, usually di naman natutuloy. And kung meron mang naa-accomplish, sobrang big deal na sa kanya. Then she constantly set aside other things. Sana lang iba yung NEXT President. My fingers are crossed to that.

poems or not? beginning to study poetry in a deeper sense...

My Humanities class a few hours ago was just alright. We had a quiz, some discussions and group activity.

We were divided into 8 groups where a piece of literature to identify as a poem or not. All of which are presented to the class in the form of a song (kasi kantanga naman), music videos included. The pieces are:

Where Have All the Flowers Gone?... Peter Seeger (our piece)
Kaleidoscope World... Francis M.
Colors of the Wind... Lea Salonga
Journey... Lea Salonga
Heal the World... Michael Jackson
Angels among Us... Alabama
In the Name of the King..
I Need a Hero... Bonnie Tyler

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for our presentations so we just had our group discussion and we will be presenting next meeting. At 2:30, class ended.

I think our group had a nice discussion. Hope the reporting would be nice as well.

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...=)

now studying poetry in my Humanities class...

...discussions on Short Stories just ended...

next stop:
POETRY

Poetry which is:

• full of interpretations...
• colored by personal meanings...
• fueled by powerful words...
• scripted by creative hands...
• and when once lived, continues to live forever...
  

and

• either sinulat lang kasi walang nagawa...
• labasan ng sama ng loob...
• corny pero sweet na alternative or kasama ng love letters...
• at extension ng sarili...

Poems...

• which i also love doing more often when bored rather than inspired......

you can click this to see samples...(*wink*)

hope i would be able to enjoy the lessons...
our 1st poem to tackle is the Son of the Sun...
(and I'm assigned to research on the meaning/ relationship of the words Shatila and My Lai to the poem...good luck naman sa'kin..)

How i finished reading Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist...

well...

either nung Monday or Tuesday yun..

i went to National Bookstore at SM Baguio...

headed to the shelves where Paolo Coelho books were displayed...

began to read The Alchemist at page 112...

page 112?

why?

kasi it's already my 4th time to go to NBS just to read this one..

ibig sabihin, pang-apat na balik ko na..haha...

tama bang unti-untiin yung book?

Wla kasi akong magawa noon kaya napagtripan kong basahin 'to.

I've read By the River Piedra I sat Down and Wept, The Zahir and The Pilgrimage as well... I actually have a copy of those books... eh since wala pa akong The Alchemist, binasa ko muna before deciding to buy... Eh ok lang naman,,,so kung may sobra sa allowance, saka na lang ako bibili. Actually nasimulan ko na ring basahin yung The Devil and Miss Prym... may book kasi akong tinago sa ibang shelves para mabalikan ko pa uli..haha.. Kasi yun na yung last copy nung huli akong tumingin eh...

So goodluck na lang sa trip kong 'to.

At least, kung makapagdecide na akong di ako bibili, nabasa ko na sila ng libre...haha..

damn scared...so many questions...

Why do we tend to be afraid of something we haven't experienced or done yet?

Why do we try to resist change?

Why is it difficult to turn our backs from something that is there all the way though we knew that it ain't doin' us nothing good in the present?

And what is it that controls out mindset that says we're better-off once we continue our lives by going through our own usual norms?



I'm just plain bothered....
Please give me explanations.
Thanks.

Bakit naman kung kelan walang pasok, dun pa umaraw?!

Humanities class just ended.
We studied and made some critique and deep intepretations on the short story THE HANDSOMEST DROWNED MAN by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez.

---------------------
..and so finally I'm back! After ilang weeks ng ulan dito, aba himalang umaraw kahapon. Eh wala pa naman pasok kasi Cordillera day. Dahil doon, nakapagpatuyo ako ng mga sampay at nakapunta sa school (kasi may mga bagay na tinapos about group reportings and sa Salakniban) ng hindi nababasa for the first time. Tapos ngayon makulimlim na naman. And paulan-ulan pa. Super girly pa naman ako ngayon with matching mini skirts. Hay.....

Solar Eclipse daw sa July 22!

Sabi ng PAGASA, magkakaron daw ng partial solar eclipse sa July 22, birthday ni Sam, and good thing na mawiwitness 'to sa ilang parts ng Pilipinas. Sa Metro Manila, Calayan Island, Laoag City, Tuguegarao City, Baguio City, Angeles City in Pampanga, Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Lucena City, Naga City, Iloilo, Cebu, Zamboanga, Sulu, Davao at General Santos City. Haha...buti na lang kasama ang Baguio!

Magsisimula daw 'to sa Metro Manila 8:33:01 a.m. and it will reach its full visibility by 9:43 a.m. and will end at 11:01:51 a.m.

Oh..edi very phenomenal 'to.

Sana nga mawitness ko dito ang eclipse. And sabi din pala ng PAGASA na kailangan protektahan ang mata sa pagsusuot ng sunglasses, or pagtakip ng x-ray films or smoked glasses habang tumitingin.


Tanong?
Pwede bang ganito yung gamitin?


Bumili kasi ako dati ng ganito eh..para sa youngest bro ko...haha..
And blending pa yung colors nun...so nice!

adik sa song...

almost a month ko nang pinatugtog 'tong song na 'to sa phone ko...
ang cute kasi ng melody...
and very modern pero light lang...

and ang ganda lang din nung intro..haha...
cute naman si Keri....kaso lang iskeri naman sina Ne-Yo and Kanye West...haha...
peace men!
pero kahit ganun sila, feel ko pa rin songs nilang lahat...
yun nga lang, katulad ng sabi ko, Si Keri na lang tignan natin...
yung dalawa...hmmmm...
well, basta yun..
pakinggan na lang natin sila ng nakapikit.
seems like it's better that way. haha,..

KNOCK YOU DOWN

[Keri Hilson:]
Not again
Oh this ain't supposed to happen to me

[Kanye West:]
Keep rockin and keep knockin'
Whether you're Louie Vuittonin' it up, or Reebokin'
You see the hate that they serving on a plater
So what we gon have dessert or disaster?

[Keri Hilson:]
I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like I'm in a race but I already won first place

I never thought I fall for you as hard as I did (as hard as I did, yeah)
You got me thinking about our life, our house and kids (Yeah)
Every morning I look at you and smile
Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down (knocked me down)

[Chorus:]
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around, love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)

[Ne-Yo:]
I never thought I hear myself say
Ya'll gon hate
I think I'm going to kick it with my girl today
I used to be commander-in-chief for my pimp ship flying high
Till I met this pretty little missile, who shot me out the sky

So now I'm crashing don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could go back and make it happen faster
Don't you know i would baby if I could
Miss independent, to the fullest, the load never too much
She helping me pull it, she shot bullet that ended that life
I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight girl sometimes love

Sometimes love comes around (love comes around, love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
[ Keri Hilson Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)

[Kanye West:]
Tell me now can you make past your caspers
So we could finally fly off into NASA
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams
To seem to only date the head of football teams,
And I was the class clown that always kept you laughing
We were never meant to be, baby we just happened
So please don't mess up the trick,
Hey young world, I'm the new slick rick,
They say I move to quick but we can't let this moment past us,
Let the hour glass pass right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ashes right before my glasses
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
how could a goddess ask someone that's only average, for advice
O-M-G you listen to that bitch?
Woah is me, baby this is tragic
Cause we had it, we was magic
I was flying, now I'm crashing
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson
You should leave your boyfriend now, I'ma ask him

[Keri Hilson:]
So you gotta take the good with the bad, the happy and the sad
Or will you bring the better future then I had in the past
Cause I don't want to make the same mistakes i did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
Woah, woah
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer loves call
Woah, woah
And if it hits, better make it worth the fall

(When it comes around)

Sometimes love comes around (love comes around, love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around (comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)

Won’t see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love comes knocks you down

Won’t see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love knocks you down

grand walk-out sa UP Baguio kahapon... inulan ng pula.

onse-nwebe (11:09)

CHA-CHA is our ENEMY!

Di CHA-CHA ang solusyon!
Edukasyon!

Edukasyon, edukasyon!
Karapatan ng mamamayan!
Karapatan ng mamamayan!
Edukasyon, edukasyon!
(Ito ang mainstream cheer kung may rally or walk-out sa school)

...yan ang sigaw ng Student Council, iba't ibang organizations and students na sumali sa malawakang walk-out kahapon habang nililibot nila ang buong university at naghihikayat ng iba pa na makisali. Nakakabinging nga pito na halos nag-eecho na sa tenga ko kahit nakalagpas sa sila sa Secretary's Office sa CSS kung nasan ako nung mga oras na yun. "Walk-out! Walk-out! Walk-out! Walk-out!" May post din pala na sinabing magsuot ng pula. So ayun, ang dami ngang naka-red kahapon...at and dami ding di sinasadyang nakapagsuot ng red. Pero ako, para maiba naman, blue ang jacket na suot ko. Haha... Terno kami nila Sir Ang.

Though di ako nakasama kasi may duty ako kahapon sa CSS, pinaniniwalaan ko naman yung pinaglalaban nila. During the whole week, ang daming posts sa school and announcements para mahikayat kahat ng mga estudyante na sumama. May mga pinamigay pa ngang whistles na nakaplastic at may papel sa loob na nagsasabing:

"Ipito mo, hinaing mo....."

Basta may iba pang nakasulat na nagsasabing inaasahan nila na tutumog ang pitong ito bawat 11:09 ng umaga bilang protesta kontra CHA-CHA...basta ganun yung concept.

Kaso naisip ko lang, di na rin yun nagmukhang walk-out (ooooops, SC peeps and friends and everyone, chillax lang ha...) ang nangyari kasi nagcancel na rin ng classes yung nga Profs and instructors. So parang red-bannered rally/parade yung nangyari kasi in the first place, di rin naman pumasok yung mga students...(Buti na lang 2 lang subjects ko kahapon, Econ 141-research break, at MS 11-group meet lang for presentation on Wednesday). Kasi nga may teacher na rin na nagsabi, "You cannot walk-out unless you've walked in." Tama nga naman...


Di ko sure kung gano katagal nangyaru yung walk-out ang kung san sila nakarating. Sabi kasi ng friend kong SC na si Mark, lalabas daw ng school and pupunta somewhere at tatagal daw hanggang 4pm yun. Kaso naman umulan nung bandang hapon kaya di ko na rin alam kung ano na nga yung nangyari.

Di ko naman napanuod yung news pero sabi ng housemate ko, napaTV daw yun sa ABS-CBN Northern-Luzon and pinakita yung walk-out sa buong school. Sana lang makaaboy kay Glorya 'tong mga ganitong movements. Sana lang di masayang ang effort ng marami. Sana lang di natuloy ang CHA-CHA.

ano bang masarap gawin kung walang magawa?

...Well, pinapauna ko na...bihira lang ang ganitong moments for me. Pano ba naman, lagi na lang may ginagawa. Lalo na ngayong mas nagiging busy na sa school. And additional work pa na dalawa lang kami ng friend kong si Elaine na may minor na Psychology sa Humanities class namin - ang mga discussions kasi namin ngayon on short stories ay human behavior-related... so, kailangan namin i-explain sa class yung FREUDian and JUNGian approach nung situations sa stories next meeting... oh my!



Anyways, balik sa original kong tanong...
Ano nga ba?



Since bihira lang maging di busy, pinaka-enjoy ko nang gawin yung matulog. At matulog pa. Lalo na dito sa Baguio ngayon, ulan ng ulan. Di naman makagala.



Syempre, trip ko din naman magbasa kaya nga marami akong blogs about sa mga natapos kong basahing books. Samahan pa ng music. Nakakarelax kasi pag nakikinig ako ng music... kahit di ako talented sa singing, who cares... buhay ko 'to no.



Nga pala, masarap din kumain... at kumain ng kumain... yun eh kung may kakainin. Dito kasi ngayon ok pa naman ang supply ko ng food. Kung di kasi nakapaggrocery, parang nakakawalang gana ring mag-aral..and mabuhay. Food for the life and soul!



Or TV... eh since may cable naman... nood lang hanggang antukin.



And ang pinakanamimiss ko sa lahat... yung internet na unlimited. Dito kasi, ang access ko lang sa library and internet room (kung san tinanggal ang access sa social networking sites, buti na lang may blogger pa rin) at sa nga net cafe sa labas na sobrang mahal kasi di naman ako sanay ng 2hrs lang nakaharap sa computer. Chat til you drop!


Kaso wala eh. Lalo na talaga yung internet. Demanding kasi talaga ngayon ang studies sa oras ko. Feeling ko nga i'm not living a normal life anymore. Pero ganito talaga. I chose to be here kaya I need to live with it. Hay... konting tiis pa.

finished reading >>Right Behind You last night

though there are a lot of things to be done in school...
something in my life here makes me feel sort of incomplete...
it's because I'm not reading any book right before...
so i headed to National Bookstore and Booksale to look for books...

and i got RIGHT BEHIND YOU by Gail Giles last Thursday...

i found the story somehow touching...
it captures the innocence of a child... and the deep cut that was caused by his mother's early death.
it shown a dash of anger and maybe envy... which led Kip, who was forced to change his identity to Wade, to live for 4 years in a mental hospital for therapy...

they they transferred to different places as unlikely things happened... and as Wade continues his soul-searching... as he tried not to feed his "hungry ghosts" as his shrink said.

it was a really nice story...
it gave good insights about the real life...

you should read this too...
I've got no regrets in buying it.

first time to cook ADOBO last night!!! woah!

kasi naman...
wala akong alam lutuin...
pero na lang de lata, noodles, frozen goods and rice....
(di ko nga sure kung alam ko pa iluto yung chopsuey, or kung chopsuey nga ba ang output ko kung minsan)...

kaya nga nagpaturo ako magluto sa housemate ko...
step by step...
and i can't believe it!

it didn't taste as bad as i have thought it would...
and i wanna congratulate myself for this...
haha....

achievement 'to...
hope to learn cooking more dishes before i graduate...
let's say, it would be one of my prerequisites before i receive my diploma,..

wish me luck!

dinner date (sort of) last Friday at Veniz Grill...

ulan-araw

Pagkatapos lang ng class kay Sir Boq sa Econ 141,wherein I was forced to pick China's non-tarrif trade barriers as topic for my first major paper here, diretso na ako dito sa library... (um, dumaan muna pala ako sa internet room just to find out na wala nang vacant computer dun).

Pagkatapos hiramin 'tong book na 'to:

Making Cities Work: Urban Policy and Infrastructure in the 21st Century

I went upstairs para makapag-internet...

Pero bago makapasok dito, nabasa, at the same time, naarawan ako while on my way here. Ang liwanag ng sikat ng araw pero ang lakas din naman ng ulan...
Good thing natapos din agad.

I don't want to be soaked (nakakatamad kasi maglabas ng payong) and sayang naman ang outfit ko today. Sabi nga ni Kev, "Jai Hong- Jai Ho ka ngayon ah..." Kasi naman I'm wearing my pink pants which lookeds like the one Princess Jasmine wears.. pero posh pa rin...haha... And my newly-bought doll shoes, cute nga (sabi nila ah) pero masakit na yung toes ko... band-aid mode na nga eh...pero carry pa rin... Sana makauwi pa ako ng walang paltos sa paa...

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.

Robert Pattinson shoots "Remember Me"

What keeps Edward,... oooopss... Tyler, I mean, busy lately?

It's his upcoming movie "Remember Me."
And he's still hot as ever!
(But sometimes i feel he's not actually that cute... just the bandwagon effect.)

Rob still looks rather relax for someone who was just attacked by a mob of screaming fans last week and later hit by a taxi. On no!!!!





Street fight scene.... Ouch!







Seems like his role here is far too serious from his role as my Edward. Now, he's shooting at the urban side in the New York set... very much different from the cold and unlikely weather in Forks. Haha....


Go Rob!!!
Make this movie another hit!

Remember Me? Oh sure, I always remember you... even in my dreams!



(Pictures from omg!)

goodbye Michael Jackson....

It's a shocking news indeed.
We woke up and the news that the King of Pop already passed away buzzed all over. He died at the age of 50... obviously he doesn't look that old and you already know why.

-in his early years-


-so feminine looking-

-so....hmmmm... I dunno.. haha..peace MJ!-

-looks like he's wearing a mask here-

Well, life goes on for me. I'm not a fan of his and I'm not actually affected by his death. I don't even know why I'm blogging this despite the known fact that all of us will perish someday somehow. That is just the uncertainty of it. We don't know when and why and how exactly. But we surely have our own chances of meeting him (if we like to). But hopefully not now. And not even soon.

my schedule this sem...

This is my first time to have a regular semester class on a Saturday morning. Actually, it's from 9am to 12 noon. We'll be sitting at CSS 203 for 3 hours listening to the lessons on Monetary Economics (Econ 121). The good this is that our professor is Prof. Ben Tapang.

We has our first class last week and I think it was good. Sir Ben already retired
around 2 years ago but he returned due to insistent academic demand. (Wala kasing ibang available to teach this course, in short, there are no other applicants as he said.)

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, my classes are:

• Econ 106 (Mathematical Economics) 8:30-10:00 am
• Psych 180 (Social Psychology) 10:00-11:30 am
• Hum 1 (Reading Literature) 1:00-2:30 pm.

On Wednesdays and Fridays, my classes are:

• MS 11 (Media Studies) 11:30-1:00 pm
• Econ 141 (International Economics) 1:00-2:30 pm

As you can see, I only spend 3 hours of classes on Wednesdays and Fridays which gives me a lot of time to do something more (except for these first weeks of the semester where we spend much of our time queuing in the library just to have volumes of readings to be photocopied.)

This is why a few moments ago, I decided to submit an application letter as a student assistant in our college. I'm hoping to earn additional income as an extra allowance. I hope I would be hired.

I believe I can still manage my studies despite being "employed" as one.

Please pray for me. Haha...
