Stories Beneath the Skies

Lahat tayo hati, di nga lang nakakalipad ang iba

2012-02-08T15:25:00.003+08:00

Finally, Jerome lent me his book Si Amapola sa 65 na kabanata! I started reading it last Monday (during breaks). Speaking of Monday! Our first class was AVT. The midterm was easier than expected most specially if one reviewed the hand-outs very well. I`m so glad that I spent my whole Sunday memorizing all the technical terms AVT has to offer! Thank you, Lord! :D Then I spent my lunch with Erlaine, Rezah and Haziel. After which, Regina and I went to our college`s library and had a research for our AVT report next week. I thought we would not find any books related to our topic but we actually found one. Sadly, we got late for the next class. :/ Our last class which was Filipino, for the first time, was amazing. We made short stories called dagli and it was fun hearing all the stories we`ve made. We were dismissed around 9. It was my first time to be there until 9pm. O__O

I`m already on the 128th page of Amapola which has 364 pages. It`s theme is satirical, just like Bob Ong. It tackles the problems the country has been facing for years and how Filipinos react to these issues. It has R-18 scenes. Hahaha!

I think that would be all for now. I still have lots of work to do. :/

PS. I got a mail from LBC saying that they failed to deliver the CD I sold and so they had to dispose it. But I think, somebody would claim it. I hope he could.

That`s what friends are for

2012-02-04T09:48:00.004+08:00

I`ve been going through some difficult problems lately and I know I`m not capable of handling them on my own. I`m getting crazy and weird over my dilemmas. It`s sad to know that through all the things that I surpassed, I`m still weak whenever trials come. T___T

But because my friends were there to cheer me up and bring up conversations that would make me feel better then I have to thank them. Even if they have problems of their own, they still give time to comfort me. It was so fun having new friends like them. We laugh and talk as if nobody`s watching us. Hahaha!

I love you both Erlaine and Rezah! ♥

PS. I love how personalized my theme was. Learning the art of adobe photoshop. :)

Midas Marquez Madness

2012-01-29T17:41:00.003+08:00

All these years, I`m having fun getting crushes over personalities who don`t really know someone like me exist. TV personalities, athletes, spokespersons, etc. -- Oooooh, a bunch of butterflies they brought in my stomach. But among all of them, Atty. Jose Midas Marquez was the first person ever to make me blush as if I`m going to explode. :"""""""> I don`t know how it all started. Maybe it was because I was so attached to the television and I always see him on interviews about different issues. And by then, I got so impressed with everything he say. It made me think that he really deserves to be in that position!

Last night, I slept at 3am since I had insomnia once again. So to consume time, I got kuya's cellphone and search over google anything about him. And I found this article: Body Talk with Midas Marquez. It was a very personal interview. It was really fun knowing the other side of the Supreme Court administrator/spokesperson. These are some things that really got me crazy:

He`s 45. All the while, I thought he was only in his 30s. He looks younger than his age! :)
We`re both Aquarians. Hihihihihihihi.
He studied grade school in La Salle; high school, college (AB Economics) and law at the Ateneo. O___O
He plays basketball. :))

He was named after mythical King Midas (who turns everything he touches into gold) because he said his father’s business flourished when Midas was born. Naks, swerte.
He collects bonsai. Weird.
He was once a political activist in his college days, he was a founding member of Lakas ng Atenista, the counterpart of the League of Filipino Students. He used to join rallies in Mendiola Bridge along with classmates like Risa Hontiveros and Erin Tañada, who are now lawmakers, and experienced being dispersed by tear gas and water cannons.

BTW, just recently, I saw this viral video over Youtube and it was so funny. I hate it how some people think Midas as gay. :/ NO, HE`S NOT! :/

Thank you, Showtime!

2012-01-29T16:34:00.000+08:00

It was May of 2010. It was one of the terrible months I had. Countless problems from nowhere got me really crazy. And because of the loneliness that I was feeling that moment, I tried to watch this certain show called Showtime. I don’t really watch too much show on TV before. But Showtime changed that habit. To me, it was more than just a show. It was… life. It’s like a Noche Buena package or a Christmas bonus or a special birthday present that we don’t receive everyday. It’s a rare precious gem that we definitely don’t want to let go of. Since then, whenever I’m not busy or I’m not at school, I watch and enjoy every single episode of it,

It’s nice to see the hosts, hurados and staffs make a good, big, happy family. It’s great to see how they make their audiences and contestants laugh and cry. And they inspire and influence them as well. Yes, influential.

I never really known Vice Ganda before not until his wit reached the hearts and souls of the Madlang People and Solid Showtimers including I. Back then, Anne Curtis, for me, is one of those big shiny names on the entertainment industry. Little did I know that behind that glam is her hidden craziness and confidence that made her a recording artist today. :) Vhong makes everybody feel the kilig vibes, just like how he did it in his romantic comedy movies. Plus, his dance moves sweeps the floor with this hotness! Billy and Karylle, who both started out as judges soon became part of the funny and talented pool of hosts too. Kuya Kim continued to give trivia. And he also spills his sometimes-waley-sometimes-havey jokes. And lastly, Jugs and Teddy came out of their comfort zones. From band members, they now host the show too.

I know yesterday was surprising because of this “Thank You” episode thing. But that doesn’t mark the end of Showtime. I can feel it. I believe ABS-CBN is cooking a better Showtime to be aired next month and I’m excited to see it soon.

Thank Yous may not be enough to show our utmost appreciation with the joy you, guys, brought through our homes. But for now, this is what we have to say: “Thank You, Showtime.” :)

Birthday Wishlist

2012-01-24T22:57:00.003+08:00

Since there`s only a few days left before my 18th birthday (yes, I`m going to be of legal age already!), I`m now making a birthday wishlist. I don`t think these will ever come true but I still hope! Hihihihi.

Canon 1100D Rebel T3. Gaaah. This camera is so awesome. You can actually choose from different colors aside from black. I`ve seen this type of camera a couple of times in malls and they`re so stylish. I hope I can have the blue one. Well, actually, any type of dSLR may do but if were given a chance, I would really pick this! =))

I want to have a complete set of Nicholas Sparks' novels. Yes, I can download e-book version of his books but I really want to collect every single book that he wrote. <3

~~Be at two places at the same time~~. I want to cross this out already 'cause I already accomplished this! The train always pass this borderline between Manila and Makati so there! Hehehe. I was so inspired in one of the scenes of the movie A Walk to Remember where Landon took Jamie in a borderline. SWEEEEEET! :""">

Anything from Diliman Republic! It`s been a long time since I first known the Diliman Republic but I haven`t bought anything from them yet. Haha! :)

I want to have a healthy and happy family! :)

...Lastly, a better set of grades. :)

Make my wishes come true! I would be so happy if you cross-out one for me. =)))

NOT SO RELATED PS: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SHANE WEST! :"""""">

I`m on the edge, the edge, the edge

2012-01-20T14:24:00.003+08:00

I have a lot to tell in this post. So get ready, cause this is gonna be looooong. :)

Last January 12 was superb. We watched 2 plays in the COC Theater produced by the Sining Lahi Polyrepertory, the official theater group of our university. We were there to support Cath, our blockmate and my seatmate in English and Bio. The first play was entitled 'Konstraksyon Sayt'. We watched it first last sem but with different set of actors. I think, the last performance was better. And then the second play was 'Yuna @ 18'. Here, Cath played as the sister of Yuna. The story was so dramatic. Plus, we were so surprised upon Mosang`s appearance. She played as a mother. By the way, Mosang is a comedian. We only found out that day that she was a PUP alumnus, former Sining Lahi Polyrep member, a graduate of Broadcast Communication and her batchmate was my current major professor (Uy, coursemate! :)) I didn`t expected that it was going to be a tearjerker because the first part of the play was so funny. Mosang was so good! Cath performed great too. She made me cry cause her acting was really effective.

January 13. Friday the 13th! It was quite a bad day because I got a low grade in BRCO3033 midterm. But it was still a happy day. Before going home, I dropped by LBC to get the payment given by this certain person who bought the Gerald Santos album I sold. First time to have an LBC transaction! It was exciting. After I had the payment, I sent my album to him and voila.. done deal! Hihihi.

This week was a light week for me. We had our Math midterm. Had my report in ENGL yesterday. :| Bio midterm postponed. Then UPCAT results were released already! Congrats Arwin! Congrats too to Christine Tiu! :)

Also, we watched the Impeachment Trial last Thursday with mommy. I`m on the side of the truth! I don`t feel good with Chief Justice Corona, but because Atty. Midas Marquez is on the side of the Supreme Court.. ugh. :""> Let me feel the kilig vibes. Hihi. But in the end, we have to face the truth and if someone will be proven guilty then so be it. :)

Yesterday, I thought there wouldn`t be a seat available in the train anymore. So I stand near the hand rails. Then there was this tiny space, so the lola and a girl let me sit in the middle of them. After some stations, I felt that I was already on the edge of the seat literally. I remained still even if my knees were already shaking. Then one by one, they left their seat and I finally had a nice position. It proves that no matter how hard things maybe, you`ll still surpass it no matter what. :) Oooh. Lesson for the week! Thank you Lord. :D

PS. Released PUP ID Yeaaay~

What not & GGV Live!

2012-01-11T13:29:00.004+08:00

I always consider Monday as a lazy day. It`s because on Sundays, I watch Gandang Gabi Vice. And speaking of Gandang Gabi Vice, last episode which was LIVE was hilarious. I didn`t expected that Vice would be that funny even if her grandmother passed away just recently. I don`t know how comedians handle tragic events in their lives. :( I really owe them my laughter! Back to the Monday topic. Last Monday was very tiring. I woke up at 5 am then I arrived at the train station at 6:15 am. I was supposed to ride on the 6:35am trip but because 6:05 am was cancelled and 6:35 am was delayed (again, the train`s pregnant! LOL.) So in the end, we rode the 7:05 train which was so full. Fortunately, I saw Romella, my former classmate. While we are halfway to Sta. Mesa, I heard my co-COCian talking to someone over the phone. CLASSES ARE SUSPENDED O__O Mella also said that her blockmate texted her that classes are really suspended. So I got home right away when I arrived at the station. However, I waited for an hour for another train. I reached home at 11 am. I did the laundry and slept.

2012`s first week

2012-01-07T18:17:00.003+08:00

Being back to the usual routine was really tiring. I don`t know but I easily got tired last Tuesday even if we only had two classes that day since our professor in one of our major subjects was absent. Well, maybe because of our PE class. I enjoyed it very much though. The first type of dance that we learned was lyrical which has sharp movements.If I have to rate myself in my performance, I`ll give 7. I need to practice more! Nevertheless, both PE classes (first & second sem) are my Academic Year`s favorites! :) Then last Thursday, we recited the Article 353 of the Philippine Constitution and we all got flat one. Ma`am Ara was so nice and generous. :) We also met Sir Quinones and we had a lot of fun talking about random stuffs and he`s not that terror anymore. Haha! He also taught us the basic steps in making the title for our thesis. And yes, it`ll be presented on Monday. I hope one of our three proposed topics will be approved. *cross-fingers* If not, we`ll have to formulate good topics again. :(

The start of this year was far more than okay, I guess and I hope it continues. :)

PS. I already have a mini-planner. Great!

Christmas break

2011-12-28T13:21:00.004+08:00

I don`t really have that much tasks to be accomplished. Though I need to finish 1 essay, 1 short story and 2 poems for FILI 1023 and review our previous lessons in ENGL 1023 for the coming quizzes and midterms. Then that`s it. I`m actually done doing 4 literary pieces so all that`s left is the review.

On a lighter note, here are the things that I`ve been doing these past days..

Read Bob Ong`s "Lumayo ka nga sa akin". It was an eye-opener type of book which will make you feel the guilt. But definitely, it will make you laugh as well. That`s what Bob Ong does in all of his books. :)
Watched Won`t last a Day without You. It was cheesy, just like other Filipino films.
Read A Walk to Remember. I`m really planning to read this novel even before we had our Christmas break because my blockmates would always talk about it and how they cried while reading it. I got interested so I searched for an e-book of it and luckily, I found epubbud.com. It was one of the best websites ever invented. It has tons of books that can be easily downloaded. It was..paradise. =)) Yesterday, I finished reading A Walk to Remember. It made me cry so bad and when I was about to sleep, my head was still filled with the scenes of Jamie and Landon. I can`t stop imagining. Haha! Nicholas Sparks, my new fave author, is a genius. I can feel the pain and love in every page of the book. I swear. It was my first time to cry over a book. There were a lot of heavy scenes. :( Now I know why a lot of people read his books. Actually, I`m going to read his new novel, The Best of Me. It`s longer than A Walk to Remember but I hope, I can finish it right before classes start. BTW, the songs 'Cry' & 'Only Hope' are my new favorite too. :>

The Highlights of 2011

2011-12-26T17:37:00.004+08:00

As part of the tradition of my blog, I`m going to share the things that happened this 2011 which are worth remembering. Presenting my YEAR-ENDER!

JANUARY

The start of my January was really, really heartbreaking. I failed to pass the UPCAT. Moving on was tough. It`s like my dream of studying in that prestigious university will always be a dream. :(
Celebrated Rosette`s birthday at Mang Inasal. It was my first time to join the whole class in a non-academic thing. I don`t have 'permanent friends' in my senior year. I was a KJ back then. Good thing, I experienced that! #iMissHighSchool
Two-day camp somewhere in Dasma.

FEBRUARY

I, Romella and Errol took the PUPCET. It was MUCH easier that the UPCAT. And I know, that moment I stepped on the grounds of PUP, I`ll soon be an iskolar ng bayan. :)
My sister`s birthdaaaay! We celebrated her birthday in Antipolo where we also had a car blesssing. Yes, daddy was here for a 3-day visit. :)
Last PROM! =))))

MARCH

Been too busy with school activities, signing of clearance and final examination. :|
Mang Tani sent me a message telling that he wants to meet me this year. =))) (unfortunately, some things happened. I haven`t met him yet. :/)
I watched Senior Year together with my sister. I love everything about the story!
*drumroll* I PASSED THE PUPCET! :DDDD
Went to Ina`s graduation. VALEDICTORIAN SI INA!!! :)))))
And the last day of March marks my last day of my last year in High School. (Everything was last! Haha!)

Grad Blow-out~
Confirmed a slot in PUP.
My wish was granted. I`m going for Broadcast Communication since..
I did not pass the DOST scholarship test.

I had my interview for the confirmation of my course...
Broadcast Communication was just destined for me. =))))
Went to Mara`s birthday. Unexpectedly, we celebrated a reunion with my gradeschool classmates.
We already had our passports!

JUNE-JULY

First day of being a freshie. Met new faces -- professors and blockmates. New terms! I had gained new friends.

AUGUST

Had my first-ever midterms.
Enjoyed each of our swimming class; I love you, Sir Guiriba!
Went to UP to visit Ina + Met Zorro.
Received my first uno in college for our English play.
College of Communication`s 10th founding anniversary.
My UPCAT story was published in Tinig ng Plaridel`s website. How great is that!
Birthday of this blog. Yeay!

SEPTEMBER

Young Communicator`s Congress. Met THE Howie Severino & THE Malou Mangahas and other media practitioners. :D

OCTOBER

Deadly HIST 1013 midterms. Because of that, I memorized the whole map, including the capital of each province.
Sembreak! =)))))))))
Michaela and I became friends again! <3 One of the best things that happened this year! :)))
Daddy`s short vacay.
ABS-CBN epic studio tour.
Got my grades for the first sem. It was OK except for the freaking SOCIOLOGY. >.<

NOVEMBER

Second semester. Met my new professors.
Joined the Run for the Pasig River. First time to be on a marathon. :)
Sir Quinones pushed me to study even more. :>

DECEMBER

Had a crush on Supreme Court`s administrator/spokesman Atty. Midas Marquez. :"""> (It made me wonder why do I always have a crush on a spokesman or reporter. Haha!)
Fun Christmas with the whole family is love. <3

I hope this coming year, 2012, would be a great one. Beat 2011! Heeeheee. Happy New Year! :D

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

2011-12-26T14:45:00.004+08:00

Merry Christmas, everybody! :)

My Christmas celebration was a blast! After a long time of not being with daddy during Christmas, we finally owned him this year. :D I started my 'celebration' by going to church to hear the Christmas Eve mass. When I went home, I ate then I helped in cooking/preparing our food. I also donated some amount to Red Cross (for Bagyong Sendong victims) through text. That P10 I donated can buy a liter of water. Helping others really gives a good feeling, especially this Christmas. Then we we had our Noche Buena. It was one of the best Noche Buenas I`ve ever had. The food on our table heavily filled my stomach. Hihi. We took pictures then we slept. I hope everybody celebrated a Merry Noche Buena with their families. Did you?

We had our Christmas day at MOA. A lot of families were there to celebrate too. Actually, every single part of the mall was filled with bunch of people. There was a really Christmas-y feeling everywhere. After we ate at Yellow Cab, we went to Power Mac Center. I tried a lot of Apple stuffs. I hope I can have that big Mac PC. That`s what film people use in editing videos. Amazing. :))) Before we went home, we heard mass.

Christmas 2011 was really epic. Yet at the back of my mind, I can`t imagine going back to class the following week. :((

PS. My batchmates and I had our mini-reunion last Sunday. I missed them.

Few days left before Christmas

2011-12-17T15:28:00.001+08:00

Our Christmas Break finally started last Friday! :)

I wasn`t able to update the past week because of certain circumstances.

What happened last week: I got sick for three or four days. My temperature became bipolar and yes, I had fever! Though I still went to school because there were a lot of activities that were lined up. :/ Some of our professors did not attend classes anymore. Some left without saying goodbye, some left us with school works.

What happened this week: Sir Arvie is trying to ruin our vacation! Hahaha! We need to make 4 literary works. :/ Good luck Henna, Merry Christmas! We haven`t presented our topic yet for Filipino and English thesis. Thinking about that scares me about 2012. (aside from end of the world. hehehe!)

Hoping this Christmas would be fun not only for our family but also to all families in the world! 8 days left~

PS. I`ll not be able to complete 9-day simbang gabi.

Because I have to stand with the Girls

2011-12-06T20:32:00.001+08:00

I am not a big fan of K-pop but because my siblings are sones (SNSD fans) and they like to play K-POP music, I`m used to that environment. And just recently, there`s this certain MAMA (MNET Asian Music Awards). I think, Girls' Generation received a large number of awards and that caused some conflict with the fans of other K-pop groups like 'Blackjack' (2ne1 fans). It actually sucks to know that some of them are rude. >:( They blocked SNSD fan pages on Facebook including SOSHIology, which my brother created. It`s devastating because it already had some 35,000+ fans and then it ended up with ZERO. It was automatically erased maybe because of too many reports. Another incident yesterday made me irritated. My blockmate keeps on telling bad things about the Girls like "Yuck.. Eww.. Girls' Generation?" Seriously, I won`t step down to that level. I do not want anybody to degrade me so I won`t do it to others. Why hate others? Why not just focus on the group you are supporting? Please, stop HATING. :(( I`m not mad. I just want to state my points. I actually love every single K-POP group! :) It`s just saddening that there are other insensitive K-pop fanatics. :/

A Political Post in a Personal Blog

2011-12-03T23:12:00.003+08:00

Everyday, Filipinos are bombarded with news about the former leader of our country. Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is sick and she`s been accused with Electoral Sabotage and a lot of cases has been already filed against her. In my own opinion, I think she deserves to be in that position. Because in the first place, if her hands are clean, then she will not not experience deprivation of traveling outside the country or she`ll not have a hard time to get a proper medical attention which she insists. In short, she`s free to do whatever she wants. So if she`s really innocent, then she should go with the procedures just like any other accused person. Or at least, just like What Erap had gone through. The government is giving her all the possible considerations. I don`t think the government really made a plan about the thing that Elena Bautista-Horn said. ("Put the Little Girl to Sleep") That`s really a not-so good accusation. :/ Well, let`s wait for the justice to be served. If she`ll be found guilty, then she has to suffer the consequences. On the contrary, if she`s not really guilty, then it`ll be the other way around.

PS. This is just a weird post about my views on this issue. And.. because the Supreme Court is part of this, I always see Atty. Jose Midas Marquez (SC administrator/spokesman). And now, he`s my new crush. Hihihi.

Thank you, Anne Frank.

2011-12-03T16:53:00.002+08:00

I felt that this week has been too long. Maybe because I`m counting the days before Christmas Vacation. Haha! Roughly two more weeks then finally, I`m going to experience RELAXATION once again. :)

Nothing really SPECIAL happened this week, though I was once mentioned by Sir Quinones on his class. Hihi. Here it goes..

It was a Thursday. Two stations before Sta. Mesa, the rain suddenly pour heavily. Luckily, I did not bring umbrella or jacket because it was so hot and sunny in Cavite. So when I arrived at the train station, I hurriedly, went out the train and run as fast as I could to reach the Tricycle terminal. Then I arrived at our college, soaking wet. Soaking really, really wet. I thought, that unfortunate event will pass on to the rest of the hours but I was wrong. I performed well in the recitation in Intro to Broadcasting, got an uno for Media Law and Ethics and ENGL WAS JUST GREAT. Sir Quinones asked what was the ever so famous diary that was published as a book? Then I answered.. "Diary of Anne Frank." And then he said, "That girl is a wide-reader." Oooooh. I took that as a compliment. Hihihihi. That just made my day. I forgot that I`ve been through a bad weather hours ago. Hahahaha! :"">

And speaking of ENGL, we`ll have the presentation for our proposed topic (for thesis) next, next week. I need to find a good topic now. K. Bye!

Activation of the geeky side of me

2011-11-27T15:43:00.004+08:00

I barely have time for myself already and it sucks. I know. I`ve been stressed for two weeks already and if I had a choice, I would not want myself to be in this situation. Haha! It`s really tiring to deal with my ENGL professor who`s strict. But actually, I`m getting used to his attitude and I`m actually liking him already. How ironic! Would he be the next 'Mr. Guiriba'? Hihihi. Because of him, I need to study and review my notes in-depth everyday. I must always be ready for his surprise report. It`s challenging but I can handle it. I haven`t been called yet so I really must prepare for that day! :) I love you, Sir Quinones.

#MediaLawandEthics - I already memorized several sections of the bill of rights and it really makes me want to take law in the future. Well, who knows? =)))

Ramon Bautista taped an episode of May Tamang Balita last Tuesday in Sta. Mesa`s train station. Sadly, I wasn`t able to see him. :(

I don`t know what to right anymore. :/ I hope to have a good week ahead. 2 weeks before Christmas Vacation. Hooray for that.

28 days before Christmas! :)

PS. MUST. REALLY. EARN. BETTER. GRADES.

Run for the Pasig River

2011-11-20T17:24:00.003+08:00

Eleven-twenty-twenty-eleven

Maybe you`ve heard this ad already being endorsed by different Kapamilya artists. It was really a good event to attend to because it has a cause. You run not only because you want to fulfill something on your part (since they do not have any award/prizes) but also to share something for the rehabilitation of the Ilog Pasig and the esteros here in the Metro.

Since we don`t have any mode of transportation out of our subdivision on late hours, me and my brother, together with his girlfriend stayed at Luneta Park until 12 midnight. Then after that, we walked until we reached the Roxas Boulevard then we rode a taxi to get to CCP. We spent the next four hours on the vast green fields where we slept and ate our breakfast. Haha! Picnic~

Then the race started at around 6 am (which was very late! because they said that it would start at 4:45). I ran, walked and jogged with Rezah, Carmella and some of my blockmates. There were really a lot of people who joined the said event (students from different universities, employees of public & private offices). We reached the finish line at 7am. I must say that I really had fun and I felt the fulfillment! Even if it was really tiring and I lacked sleep, I still made it. Thank you Lord for this day! :D

Past tense of meet

2011-11-16T13:47:00.001+08:00

Last Monday was terrible. LITERALLY! Woke up at 4:33 am (though I put the alarm at 4am.) That`s because I stayed up late for GGV! =))

My sister collapsed early in the morning so I got really worried the whole day. Glad she feels well already. :)

So back to college kwento, I already met my super beautiful professor in Audio-Video Techniques. She`s really the crushable type. I love you Ms. Malaya Abadilla-Ygot. (This early? Srsly? Haha!) Her age is 32 if i`m not mistaken, but she really looks like 26 or 27! :D She`s currently taking up her Masteral degree in Communication Research at UPD and that amazes me a lot. Preferred to be called Prof. Abadilla instead of Prof. Ygot which is her husband`s surname. She has a good aura but she also has this strict side.

We also met our Media Law and Ethics professor -- Prof. Ara Ariraya. Currently taking up Law at PUP and she`s good. Had our first assignment which was to memorize the Bill of Rights. :))

And the worst part of the day was when I saw my ENGL 1023 (Writing in the Discpline) professor. He`s really strict! Even more terrorific than Ma`am Ramos! He gave us a lot of requirements to be accomplished and I can already feel the pressure. He`ll be such a big burden for me this semester! He said that he will not give 2.0-and-below grades. Instead, he`ll be giving an INC/ INCOMPLETE grade. That`s so gruesome of him! That`s so unreasonable, in my part. What if we can`t meet his expectations? :/ Well, I hope I`ll not suffer kuya`s same suffering in that subject (yes, he was my brother's professor last sem). Please, Lord. :(

Lastly, our FILI 1023 professor looks like Kristen (Lara's boyfriend). Srsly, I`m going to bring my camera next Monday and I`ll post his picture here because he looks exactly like Kristen. :)) His attitude was similar with Sir Sixer Sitjar. He cracks jokes a lot and that will definitely keep the 6-9pm class alive! =))

First week. Second Sem. First Year.

2011-11-13T15:46:00.003+08:00

My official first week was tiring. My body`s not used to waking up early and traveling anymore. Haha! I already met some of my professors. Here goes the list:

The first professor that I`ve met was Dr. Robert F. Soriano, the former dean of our college. He said that he wants to be called 'Tatay' so that`s how we call him. He seemed strict at first but suddenly, the whole block was laughing with all his jokes. He`ll be teaching us Broadcast Programming and Management. BTW, he`s the author of our book. :D
Bro. Ben San Luis is our professor in College Algebra. Sort of weird teacher because he talks about a lot of things which are, in some way, not related with the lesson. I believe he`s going to teach us well though. :)
Ms. Mila dela Costa`s back! She`ll be our Intro to Broadcasting professor. Yeaaay! I hope she`ll give me a good grade again. Hihi.
Our Biology professor is Ma`am Elena Serquina. Quite strict but lovable! She`s in her 60's, I think. :)

Next week, I`ll be having my News Feature spiel on Tatay`s class. Hope I do well. :D I hope, I can still maintain and/or improve my grades this semester. Woooh! Lezz do this!

Unexpected Novemeber Three + Nicholas Sparks

2011-11-06T01:06:00.004+08:00

November three twenty-eleven. Supposed first day of classes for second sem. ~~FAIL~~. ULTIMATE FAIL.

It was disappointing to know that we have no professors that day. Nobody from those five profs attended the class and it kinda sucks because our sembreak was interrupted. Haha! Though I get to bond with my friends again and I saw Prof. Guiriba; so I guess it was still (somehow) worth it. ;)

What about Nicholas Sparks? Well, I`m still awake right now because I watched The Bottomline (Yes, the Boy Abunda show). I really don`t know a lot about him actually though I already heard some of his novels which gained good reviews. Based on the interview, he`s a straight-to-the-point person. No turns. He says whatever pops in his mind. I like how he analyze things; how come he knows a lot about pain and tragedy. He explained it this way.. imagine millions of people die everyday. That alone is painful but what if one of them was close to your heart? It would definitely be much tragic. And that`s how he put it into words. So I guess, it`ll be good to try one of his books anytime soon. Just another inspiring person -- from failure to fame. Nicholas Sparks, yeah.

PS. New theme. Added cute calendar widget. Used the labels once again. I want to keep things organized! :)

Like an elevator

2011-10-27T15:08:00.001+08:00

Up-down, up-down.

Basically, that`s how my week went. My mood changes from time to time. Things just aren`t permanent, I guess.

Last Sunday, we went to ABS-CBN for my block`s studio tour. The whole experience was fun. We saw different studios and equipment that are being used in different shows. I met Toni Gonzaga, Charlene Gonzales, Boy Abunda, Bianca Gonzales, Vice Ganda and Piolo Pascual. We watched The Buzz (live) as well. It was tiring to be an audience because you have to clap a lot of times. Haha! =))

Then at last, I already have my grades for this sem. My final grades were actually great except for SOCIO. My prof gave me 2.75 which I don`t really deserve because I know I performed well in his class. Anyway, I can`t do anything now since it`s already finalized. To graduate with honors in PUP = NO CHANCE. :/

Been depressed yesterday. Been really, really depressed.

One more week before the start of 2nd sem. Yay! Here`s my deadly schedule:

Daddy`s quick vacay

2011-10-17T18:02:00.004+08:00

I forgot to update that daddy had a very short vacation here. He stayed here for almost a week but actually, I didn`t felt his presence that much since I still have classes to attend plus daddy visited his parents in Isabela (so we didn`t had enough time to chat). We planned to have a family dinner at least but due to the super little time available, we weren`t able to do that. Instead, mommy and daddy just took home the family`s all-time favorite pepperoni pizza from Yellow Cab.

So daddy left for Arizona last Saturday morning. He would be working now in US. Mexico, specifically. But he will be celebrating Christmas with us! :) He will return here on Dec. 19. Yeay!

Non-related PS. It`s been three weeks since I last swam. My body is craving for swimming lessons now. :/

Naalala kita 'pag umuulan.. SEMBREAK.

2011-10-15T16:00:00.002+08:00

Finally, I reached the end of my first semester in my first year in college. And it made me feel so good knowing that I got through all the adjustments. Hihi. College was like a bigger version of high school. The environment was quite similar. Way back in high school, I`m used to seeing same faces everyday but now, it`s different. I feel like I`m a just a tiny piece of a big jigsaw puzzle of the PUP community. Haha!

BTW, here are some lists that I would like to share regarding my college life.

I learned:

to be more independent.
how to budget my allowance.
to communicate more.
to manage my time.

I`ll miss:

Ate Ninay`s flying saucer and burger steak.
Prof. Guiriba`s swimming lessons.
jam-packed train rides.
the CHUPULS.
long walks.

I hope I can see my grades as soon as possible. I`m so excited! :)) Though, SIS announced that we can only view the page during night time to give way to professors who will encode the grades. Waah! I wish to have good grades. :>>

HAPPY SEMBREAK! <3

Barely eight class days

2011-10-02T10:38:00.000+08:00

Last two weeks before this semester ends. Yihee! :D

We finally had our HIST 1013 midterm last week. We waited for a month for that to happen. Thank you, Sir AA! The test was just okay. Some of the items were very unpredictable, most especially the current events part. :) However, our COMM 2023 was not pushed through since Ma`am Ramos wasn't present.

BTW, congrats to our college pep squad for bagging the championship title in our university intrams this year. Congrats to my oh-so-good beki blockmate, Lawrence! :))))

I had a really weird dream last week. well, it was about my UPG. FRUSTRATION. >:( Anyway, I`ll try to get it once I get my form 137.

The next 2 weeks will be stressful because of the FINALS. Good luck to me.

Congrats Ateneo for your fourth consecutive win. One Big Fight! For God`s Greater Glory. <3

Sorry for this super random post. Haha!

Weird, nostalgic

2011-09-26T00:35:00.002+08:00

Last week has been weird most especially last Thursday. I`ve got this certain feeling which was really odd and I didn`t even know why. I woke up late that Thursday but still I didn`t got late for Swimming class. :P Then all our tests which were scheduled last week were moved AGAIN. (countless times already :/) So obviously, my brain cells are going to work hard for four quizzes lined up this week. Hopefully, I`ll be able to do good. Anyway, two weeks aren`t that long. SEMBREAK is just fast approaching and I can`t barely wait. Heeeeheeee. =))

These days, I`m so wishing to be in the province. I miss Nueva Ecija a lot. I miss my relatives, the ambience and it has been 4 years (I think) since I last visited my lola. So there. :(

Yesterday, I saw my former classmate, Tobee, on Showtime. Haha! Her two cute nephews performed and they actually got a slot for the monthly finals. Congrats! :)

This is such a snippet and random update! Hihi.

Young Communicators Congress

2011-09-21T00:29:00.001+08:00

The first Young Communicator’s Congress held last September 16, 2011 was a huge success. There were a lot of students from different colleges and universities who attended the said event. Its theme “Academe and Media: Partners in Societal Transformation” became an eye-opener to us. It will surely help us, communicators, to propagate information which will be very beneficial not only in our chosen career path but also in the organizations that we will probably join. Also, the resource persons were so passionate. They were ready to impart their knowledge regarding their respective topics.

The keynote speaker, Ms. Ma. Mercedes Fajardo-Robles (Vice Chair, Asian Media and Information Center), talked about the connection of academe and media. There are two forms of media-academe partnership – indirect/informal or the short-term partnership of media and schools (e.g. hiring of media practitioners as teachers) and formal/direct or the long-term partnership between media and schools (e.g. media donations to school). She said that social transformation is the consciousness to reach out those financially challenged people. We must also keep in mind that we should not just aim for profit and profit rather we should give a little something to our society. For the first session, Atty. Rudolph Jularbal (Kapisanan ng Brodkaster ng Pilipinas) discussed about the major concerns on media law and ethics. Protecting the rights of media personnel, rights to self-incrimination and Sotto law were some of the topics tackled. He also implicated that the news must be true, accurate and fair. Wordings used on reports should also be used correctly (e.g. suspect, under investigation, detained, accused, convicted). As explained, digital TV broadcast targets 2012 as its starting year. For the second session, Mr. Jay Bautista of Media Nielsen talked about media research. It focused more on advertising. He enumerated the 4 R’s framework in advertising namely reach (how to reach the consumers), receptivity (how consumers will react), resonance and reaction (effects to consumers). One of the known news anchors, Ms. Cheryl Cosim-Alvarez (TV 5), led the third session. She expounded that we, students, should study really well to get equipped for our future jobs. We are very fortunate to be studying so we should not take this for granted. She then highlighted that credibility and reputation are essential to media people. The next speaker was Ms. Marah Capuyan of DZMM. News, commentary, current affairs, music, counseling, drama are some of the things being aired over the radio, she said. Radios are innovating as time goes by, she added. For session five, Mr. Vergel Santos talked about civic journalism, also known as citizen journalism. He said that in journalism, you have to be knowledgeable about different things. Like Math, Science and Economics. Emphasizing the event was sixth session’s speaker,

Mr. Howie Severino of GMA 7. He discussed further about their network’s awareness campaign “Think before you click” which aims to instill the ethics of new media. Netizens or Internet Citizens should then be very careful of what they post because one wrong click might make a situation worst. Sir Howie gave things to ponder on: to verify facts before posting; don’t say something in social networking sites that you would not do in public; try to ignore tweets that may provoke quarrels and acknowledge, delete and/or correct and apologize if unnecessary things were done. Ms. Malou Mangahas of Philippine Center for Investigative had a discussion regarding exploratory journalism in the multimedia platform. She said that most of the people nowadays are actively using the internet. If you want to share your thoughts fast, there is the internet to provide a space for your smart ideas. Known today are the SOJO or the Solo Journalist and the MOJO or the Multimedia Journalist. She also quoted that the situation today is this: “Everybody wants progress but nobody want change.” Lastly, she said that in making news, consider three things: “Is it important?” “Is it interesting?” “Is it relevant?” To top off the event, Mr. Roby Alampay, Editor-in-Chief of Interaksyon.com brought up ideas on online news. His discussion was just similar with the other resource persons who talked about the new form of media which comes up to the conclusion: “With great power comes great responsibility.”

The speakers were really amazing and impressive. They pointed out significant details that will surely add up to our knowledge. But of course, the delegates too, did a good job. Their young minds were eager to ask questions and to know more about the field of media. Though there was only limited time for the open forum, still, the speakers respond with their enlightening answers. This congress had been very informative and useful to the young communicators and future media practitioners of the country. This will be one of the tools that we will use once we step on higher heights; onto our dreams of becoming professional and responsible media men of the next generation.

Heavenly

2011-09-12T16:10:00.001+08:00

I`m not a huge fan of Pinoy teleseryes because stories here in the Philippines are very much redundant. Rags to riches stories, gasgas love stories and such. But seriously speaking, 100 Days to Heaven is a different thing. The flow of the story was really good. I would like to commend their GREAT pool of writers. :) I`m sure, you wouldn`t want to miss any episodes of this show once you started watching it. The actors too, are serious about their roles. They can adapt well to the situations being placed in front of them. Both the little and big version of Madam Ana Manalastas will leave you at awe with their believable acting. You`ll definitely feel kilig with Bart and Sophia; Laugh out with the jokes of mag-pinsang Jophet and Bruce and love the good values of the Delgado family. Also, you must watch out because every week, there is a surprise guest. A family-oriented show that you need to watch. Kuha mo? :)

I have kwento!

2011-08-27T08:38:00.001+08:00

A lot of great things happened this week.

Got good news yesterday.
I delivered my report well in COMM 2023.
Swimming day!
Got 2 in our midterm in COMM 2023! It`s my first time to get a dos in our major terror subject (in terms of quizzes)!
Left no blank in ENGL 1013 midterm. :)

What to expect next week:

Midterms in HIST 1013 and swimming

Hihi. Current sport that I love so much: SWIMMING! Hahaha! This will be one of the things that I`ll definitely miss once the semester ends. I`ll miss my professor and his teachings so much. Hihi. :"> But anyway, there`s still one month. :)

Hooray for the 5-day break!

SAT & SUN - self-proclaimed weekend
MON - National Heroes' Day
TUES - Eid'l Fitr

I really want to savor every second of my long vacay. Happy weekend everyone! Lezzgo~ :D

Happy third birthday!

2011-08-21T16:46:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER ANTONIO! WOOHOO~

Thank you for all the memories. THREE YEARS IN BLOGGER? O__O Epic. =)) Thank you for accepting all my rants in life. Thank youuu from the bottom of my heart. I may not have been a very good blogger, but because of you, I learned what blogging is all about. I know there`s always room for improvement. Promise to visit you every now and then, until the very end. Hihi. Cheessyyyyy~ I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! :*

Filipina, Bakit Ikaw?

2011-08-21T16:34:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a very tiring day. I spent my whole afternoon in Makati, looking for CAP building. I was quite lost but eventually, I found the place. I arrived there at 1:30 pm, thirty minutes before the play starts. Wooh! The stage play was about an OFW being abused or accused of crime she never did; of rural girls being sold in the city to work in clubs as sex slaves; of a young woman forced to marriage due to early pregnancy. The actors were good. I don`t know if it`s just me, but I think, they lack a little bit more of appropriate emotion and emotion control in their scenes. But actually they did very well seeing that it`s hard to act what you haven`t experienced yet. :) The last part was very My Amnesia Girl. Because of that, I got kilig once again. Cheesy lines for the win! Before going home, I dropped by Mcdo and had coke float. Yum. Got home at 7:00 pm. I didn`t expect to be home that late already. I thought the play would just be one and a half hours.

Kilig vibes

2011-08-19T08:36:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was our swimming day. It was really, really fun because it`s Sir Guiriba`s first time to be in the pool. :) He looks cuter than ever. :"> Haha! I`m having a crush on our professor who had been part of the National Team for Swimming. Eeeee. BTW, for almost two months of taking up the basics in swimming, I can say that I`ve improved my swimming skills. He`s a really good professor (who looks cuter when he smiles) and joker as well. I know it`s hard to teach 55 students at the same time PLUS he doesn`t even go into the pool not until yesterday. =)) So we asked him sample for the freestyle. And it made me more feel kilig. It was my first time to see a pro swimmer swim in front of me. <3

Got home early yesterday. I thought we would be having midterms in English but our professor said he`ll be attending a faculty meeting. And later, we will be having midterms in ICT and our terror major--COMM2023. :/

Went to church yesterday. The one near ATC. It`s been a long time already since I last visited that church. It feels good to be back! :)

It`s a lready 8:26am. I need to fix myself already for my 12:00nn class. See you soon~

PS. I took that picture from his Facebook. Hihi. I was just curious if he has an account and so I searched for his name and *poof* I found him.

Plans + UNO

2011-08-12T21:17:00.003+08:00

BBRC 1-1N

It was a very great day yesterday. My group practiced for our play at the back of our building, near the faculty room. And I got starstruck upon seeing the lola of Bruce and Jophet in 100 Days to Heaven! Yes, Ma`am Rustica Carpio is the name. She was a former dean of our college and right now, she`s a part-time professor. Back to the play thing. Our group performed second. Our leader, Justin, was really frustrated after our performance. I can feel him. I know our performance wasn`t that GOOD that it rwally deserves a singko. :| But after the eight groups had their play, (some were really funny especially our beki classmates who portayed a role of a man) our professor, Sir Joey Clutario said that EVERYBODY WILL RECEIVE A FLAT ONE. Seriously, everyone screamed for joy as if they had won the lottery. Haha! I was smiling the whole time while walking towards the train station. :)

PS. A while ago, I was reading my other blog, eye-opener, and now, I`m thinking.. "Should I revive it?"

UPCAT stuff

2011-08-10T17:07:00.003+08:00

It`s been a year since I took the UPCAT. Yes. I didn`t pass the said test. It was really a heart-breaking moment for me. But somehow, I already moved on a bit. What matter is that I`m now a certified Iskolar ng Bayan and I`m taking the course I love. :"> Speaking of UPCAT! The story about my UPCAT experience is already published at Tinig ng Plaridel`s (UPD MassComm`s Official Publication) site. Here`s the link:

Outdated

2011-08-10T16:07:00.001+08:00

I really don`t have a lot of time to blog now that I`m in college. I`m busy with all the school works and such. Pardon me, Christopher Antonio if I do not visit you often. I`m sorryyyyy. A lot of things happened since I last left a post here so I`m going to make kwento now.

I`ve been busy helping out (really? hehe) my blockmates in finishing our float.
Had a beautiful float for COC`s parade.

Didn`t had much classes because we were excused from attending just so we could finish (the float) on time.
Experienced a lot of typhoons.
Walked through the flood AGAIN.
Experienced jam-packed train rides AGAIN.
Got chances to go home earlier.
Went to UP Diliman last week to visit Ina! ♥ Plus, I met Zorro!

Had SOCIO midterms last Monday. Got a good grade.
I`m loving Thursdays! Swimming lessons~

PS. I`m more active on Tumblr, so visit me there! :)

First month in college

2011-07-13T09:54:00.007+08:00

I don`t have that much time these past weeks that`s why I haven`t posted any posts after my last post. So because today`s my free-day and there`s no assignment or quiz to worry about (that much. :P), I`ll blog! :)

Today, July 13, 2011 marks my first month in college. The whole five weeks was crazy, stressful, tiring but nevertheless it`s fun. I met new barkadas to share my stories and laughter with. I became quite competitive and more studious. Yeah, I want to be serious about college because this determines my future. :) I got different types of professor. I learned how to budget well. The almost two-hour trip from Manila to Cavite was very tiring. There are a lot of orgs to chose from but I don`t think I will join any of them this time. I met my new apple of the eye schoolmate. Hihi. I know right, he`s gay but he`s so attractive. =)) First time to witness an actual interview. Love Añover went to our building to ask the opinions of MassComm students about the on-going trial of Maguindanao Massacre. Two of my blockmates were interviewed!

I think that`s how my first month went. :)

PS. Our first ever swimming lesson will be held tomorrow! I`m so excited to be in the pool~ Hihi.

College!

2011-06-15T18:08:00.002+08:00

My first day in college, was last Monday. I really felt nervous because I don`t know what will happen. But God was there, the moment I woke up. Hihi. We didn`t have our first class yet. I met new friends -- Suzette, Izza, Clarisse and Carmela. The professors were different from each other. We have this History prof who looks strict, English teacher who was pretty much like Sir Jayron, A female Computer prof who`s around her 40's I think and Sir Sixer Sitjar, a witty, philosophical and SUPERB professor so far. I already made our assignments today since today is vacay-wednesday! Tomorrow`s going to be another tiring day. Thank God, next monday is a special non-working holiday! =)) Hope to have an amazing freshie year. :D

PS. btw, here`s my sched for the first sem:

Summer 2011

2011-05-16T19:02:00.000+08:00

Long time, no post! Haha! Well, I`m a bit lazy visiting this page again and creating a good blog post. But now, since summer is nearing to its end, I think I should share what had happened durng the last two months.

Had my interview at PUP.
Got in the course I want. BROADCAST COMMUNICATION! Unfortunately, since there were no more slots for day shift, I was put to 6-9pm.
Been addicted to biking.
Endless internet usage.
Watched TV.
Did household chores.
Got sick.
Went to Department of Foreign Affairs for the passport appointment.
Talked to Mang Tani once again. He said that supposedly, he was going to visit Philippines but sadly, his wife got sick so he needed to stay with his wife in Australia.
Enjoyed having talks with Ina about college. (hope to visit you in UPD this coming semester~)
Felt kilig.
Mini reunion with grade school classmates.

I think that`s all. We didn`t go swimming. :( I so missed the pools and tan skin. Haha. This coming June 13, 2011 would be my first day in college. I hope to make new friends and get GOOD grades. For my UPD-ream. Yeah! \m/

High school`s final wave.

2011-04-05T08:42:00.002+08:00

Last Thursday, we finally said goodbye to high school. It was a happy moment for me knowing all the hardships I`ve been through studying in that school. The rites started at 6pm and ended at 9. It was very tiring yet worthy. When I got my diploma and my medal (5th honorable mention), I felt so blessed. Thank you Lord! :D I didn`t cried that night. :P

The following day after my graduation, we had my grad blow-out. Mommy invited her friends, kuya invited her girl friend and Richelle and I invited our best friends! :) I ate almost half of the mojos I think and I`m still craving. Haha! After eating, we did jump shots. Ina and I did most of the epic fail jump shots while Rich and Gilly got the best shots.

BTW, I`ve confirmed my slot for PUP already! And the good news is that.. I`ll be taking up Broad Comm since I didn`t passed the DOST scholarship. God agrees that I should be taking that course! Hehe. And well, I think I have a future blockmate -- Frances! :D

The Last Wave!

2011-03-26T13:53:00.001+08:00

Last week was our final exam for our last year in high school. Everything was easy, unexpectedly. Then last Wednesday, we had our El Filibusterismo play. ~~I forgot to update~~. I passed PUPCET! April 4-15 will be the confirmation days. Well, I`m still praying to go with the course I love. And that will only happen if I do not pass the DOST Merit Scholarship Test. We`ll see. Academic Clinic said that by the last week of March, DOST-SEI will release the results. Finally, Graduation on Thursday! :D Haven`t received the UPG yet. Oh, UP, when?

Roller coaster week

2011-03-14T15:00:00.001+08:00

Last was week was very stressful. The clearance, quizzes and the last lessons we have to learn before HIGH SCHOOL TIES UP. Yay! And speaking of high school, last week was Senior Year`s opening day. I got to watch it last Thursday with my sister 'cause I`m afraid SM management would pull it out because of low ticket sales. But super thank God because it`s still up and running. I want to watch it again! (probably if it`s still showing on Saturday -- Sarah and I`s date! :>) Senior Year is a film about the last 4 months before graduation. A lot of ups and downs of a Senior student. I see myself as Sophia in the story (who looks pretty like much DJ Angel of the BrewRats). She`s a loner girl. But as the movie goes, she managed to make herself jolly and fulfilled. Ramon Bautista aka Sir Lance`s "balls" part was funny! XD The whole class was sort of like our class. All in all, the film deals with academics, identity crisis, friendship, family and love. You better watch it now! :)

Last Saturday, my mom collapsed in our bathroom. The doctor said that it`s high blood-related. I`m hoping she`ll always be fine. I was so worried that day, seriously. And today, I didn`t went to school because I have to accompany my mother with her appointments. And yeah, we just arrived home. :)

LAST 2 WEEKS OF SCHOOL! EXAM DAY ON WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. Woot! :D

Bring it on, March!

2011-03-01T20:35:00.000+08:00

Yes! Finally I reached the last month of the school year. It would be very busy and stressful but I know I can do it! Next friday, (I think) our clearance will be released. Hope to finish complying with the requirements before the third week of March. BTW, last week, our school celebrated it`s 14th foundation day so obviously, we didn`t had that much classes due to practice and such. Our performance went well (karate, KPOP-themed dance prod) luckily. Haha!

Earlier, during our Economics class, I put down random thoughts at the back of my Values Ed notebook. Haha~ When boredom strikes.

PS. Forgot to tell you the good news that happened last week~ Mang Tani messaged me on Facebook and told me that he wants to meet me this year. :)))

Prom '11

2011-02-22T08:38:00.001+08:00

Last friday, we had our prom at Bali Garden. Yes, different venue for the first time! It was along Zapote Road (I think). Mommy started fixing my hair at around 3pm. Then she put make-up on me. Oh well, that happens at least once a year. :P By 5pm, I went to my classmate because I`ll be going to the venue with her. Luckily, when I arrived at their house, her mom said that she and her partner left already.

I was like "What shall I do?" Then I just went to my other classmate. Before I reached their house, an embarrassing moment happened. XD So there, I went with Rosette instead. Our teacher said that the prom would start around 6-7pm. But we waited and waited and waited until the prom started at 9pm. My feet were killing me already because of the heels. Even though there were delays, the whole program went well even our cotillion (which was epic fail during our practice). Got home at 2am the following day. Haha!

Happy Seventeenth!

2011-02-15T17:30:00.000+08:00

I turned seventeen last February 13! I received a lot of greetings from my friends who posted on my facebook. I super appreciated Ina`s greetings because she made effort to record a video for me. Awww. Ramon Bautista (through my sister) gave me a gift. =))) Jiggy Manicad`s tita greeted me too and his other tita liked my status. I`m so flattered! My ka-birthdays, Bea and Bianca Pamen (twins) greeted me too. :> What else should I discuss? haha. Prom on friday and I`m turning into a grinch. :P

PUPCET and my sister`s birthday~

2011-02-05T19:28:00.001+08:00

It`s been weeks since I last posted so I`m going to write down things again. Last Sunday, together with my classmates, Romella and Errol, we went to PUP to take PUPCET. It was a 1 & 1/2 hour trip. Along the way, I thought of random things. I`m wondering if we can make it through; would it be easier than the UPCAT and so on and so forth. When we arrived at PUP, there were piles of parents and students outside (because the guards didn`t allowed non-takers inside. They will only let the examinees enter PUP, once the previous batch of examinees finished the test for 'concentration matters') So we took our lunch first (actually it was just 2 pieces of burger. haha!) then we watched these college students on their ROTC routines. At 12:15 pm, we went back to PUP and finally, we got inside! But our luck was dumped when we were asked to form a line which lasted for an hour. It was so stressful considering that we are going to take an entrance test. But actually, it was all worth it. We had a very easy test. 100x easier than UPCAT! Hehe. It consisted of verbal (Spelling, English, Filipino), Math, Science, General Information and Non-verbal (logic) It lasted for about 1 hour and 45 minutes I think. I do hope we all get good results on March 21 (day before Romella`s birthday). Then after the test, we dropped by at SM to have merienda (I love Mcdo float and fries! ♥) with my family then we went home. :D

Today is my sister`s 12th birthday! We celebrated her birthday at Antipolo. We went to the cathedral to pray (while a wedding ceremony is being held) then TTF 542 was blessed already. Oh, I forgot to tell you, daddy made a surprise visit last Thursday. He brought a lot of surprises for us like our new family member (TTF 552) Back to what I was saying, after our 'cathedral agenda' we had our lunch at a certain side of a road along the roads of Antipolo. We always do that when we go there! :) Then late this afternoon we had mall hopped. Hihi. Today was a blast, dude! Sadly, daddy will be going back to Malaysia tomorrow afternoon.

The extraordinary weekend.

2011-01-24T08:59:00.010+08:00

Last weekend, we went on a camp/retreat. It was a fun experience. Two days with no TV & computer and two days canned goods feast. To be detailed, I`ll be doing my story in a bulleted list. :)

SATURDAY, January 22, 2011

Woke up at 3:15 am.
Took a bath then had breakfast.
Went to school at 4:45 am
Went to Jabez Campsite at Dasmariñas Cavite at 7am.
Immediate lesson about CAT and it`s components at a certain hall upon arrival with Mr. Johnal A. Tana, the over-all facilitator for the activities for Day 1.
After an hour of lecture, we went to the open field for actual demonstration.
The whole 4th year was the Alpha Platoon.

Performed commands.
30 minutes break. *picture*

Meeting with my platoon regarding our battle cry. We ended up doing the "Aribaaaa.. Huhaaa!" battle cry.
Had the platoon check; performed the battle cry.
Lunch Break.

Went to the hall again for First Aid lessons. The facilitator cracked jokes that filled the room with laughter.

Got to familiarized with different medical and rescue items.

Ate Sab, another facilitator, taught us some basic knots.

Went on a mini obstacle course with the cargo net and different ropes.

Had the tyrolean traverse where I had so much fun.

Did the compass-reading challenge.

Finally, saw our cabin.

Prepared for dinner.

Took a relaxing shower. :)))))

Ate dinner.

Had bonfire. Every platoon was asked to prepare performances.

Played a game and then we performed.

Sleep time! Actually, I had a difficult time sleeping. Quite cared i might see apparitions. Hahaha~

SUNDAY, January 23, 2011

Woke up at uhh... I have no idea what time was that because I have no watch/clock.
Took a bath then ate breakfast.
Went to a session hall.
Had our retreat.There were 3 videos that were shown where some got emotional. I thought I would never cry but when the last video was off to it`s end, I can feel my tears encircling my eyes. Srsly. It was very moving. I bet you should also watch it. Here-yo:

Everybody in the room cried especially when some shared stories about their parents.

The teachers shared stories about their personal lives.
Went back to cabin and made a letter for our parents.
Since the campsite is like a compound, there is a school inside it, and orphanage too. We visited the orphanage and there were so many kids there. So cute!

Went back to camp.
Ate lunch.
Had the obstacle race. The mud crawl was very gross but nevertheless, it was fun! Our group won the 1st place for girls. Yipeee! =))

Took a a shower.
I roamed around the campsite with Janine and then we played at the play ground. Rode a swing which I haven`t done for years. Nostalgic. ♥
At 5 pm, we check out the camp and we went home.

My body is still aching badly until now even if I already showered Efficasent Oil last night. Hahaha~ I hope it gets well today because I have a lot of things to do. I still have to wash my muddy clothes and my camp bag. Very busy day. Good thing today is a no-class day. How I hope for school holiday extension. Bye! My tummy`s growling already.

2011-01-10T18:41:00.000+08:00

Last Friday, the whole 4th year family went to Mang Inasal as a part of our classmate`s (Rosette) birthday celebration. My classmates ate a lot of extra rice. I only ate 2 cups. Haha. It was one of the best things that happened this year I may say.

Happy New Year!

2011-01-08T06:18:00.003+08:00

I forgot to greet you in my previous post. I`m sorry. Maybe I was still on the process of recovery that time. Anyway, Happy New Year! This week was a challenging week perhaps. A rough start of the year 2011. But setting that aside, I can see changes in myself. I`m now optimistic and it`s a good sign! =))

Last Monday, we already received our test results and I got the 3rd highest in Physics! (WOAH!) I also got high score in Math and I was the highest in TLE. Those good outcomes made me said to myself "Siguro kaya puro ang tataas ng scores ko, babagsak ako sa UPCAT." (true enough, it really happened! XD) But as what Ramon said (the one Sarah put in her blog post) -- tuloy pa rin ang ikot ng mundo.

I`m planning to buy a planner since I really have a lot of things to accomplish. I know it would be of great help in my time management. Besides, a college student also needed that. I hope to buy one soon. And to tie up this post, I can feel that Sarah and I would really have a great time together on March 12. We`ll watch Senior Year and we`ll got to UP to eat isaw. Haha!

PS. This made my day:

here goes my reply:

Dear Sir Ramon,

I promise to enroll in your class once I already have a dSLR and enough money so that I can pay the fee. I would love to learn a lot from you about video editing, life and everything in between.

Love,

Your future student

I did my best but I guess my best wasnt`t good enough and it hurts me more than you know so much more than it show.

2011-01-05T18:02:00.002+08:00

January 1 was the exact date when I found out that UPCAT results would be released on the 3rd of January (thanks to Sarah!). I felt really nervous. My mom and I prayed hard. I want to pass UPCAT badly. Everybody knows how I wish to be a UP Diliman student. On the second day of the new year, I can feel my heart beats abnormally. I felt so cold (which I never experienced in my sixteen years of existence) I wasn`t able to sleep well that night. I wake up in between sleep. So to make myself comfortable, I opened the computer and checked the site. Unfortunately, they haven`t posted it yet. The morning of January 3, I woke up early to check the site again but still, there were no results yet. I went to school with a heavy feeling. Classes were dismissed early due to faculty meeting. When I reached home, I hurriedly opened the computer again and I got surprised and disappointed as well when they rescheduled the release of results. By 6 pm, I decided to regain my lost sleep that I didn`t had the chance to eat dinner. Then yesterday, when I opened the site at 4 am, the results were already out. I held my rosary tight and prayed that whatever the outcome may be, I must remain strong. I`m looking for the name range where my surname might be included. As I scroll down, I saw the name of my best friend, DE GUZMAN INA RIANA NIKITA ALBERTO on the 38th number. When I finally reached 'G', I looked for my surname but unluckily, only my ka-surnames or relatives who I`m not familiar with were there but not my name.I didn`t felt depressed after that because I`m ready for that possibility. Then afterward, I looked for my classmates name but nobody from our class passed! Haha! I also looked for the names of my friends and I saw more than 5. Congrats!

Well I think God has better plans for me. I would love to see His plans already! BTW, I`ll make sure to pass my PUPCET so I would have a university already. I`m now aiming to earn a 2.0 or 2.5 grade in my first year in college so I can have the chance to transfer to UP Diliman after I finished 33 units OR if ever my UPG would be okay, I`ll try if UP can accommodate me to any of their available slots. (Mine and Sarah`s plan! :P) I`m hoping to receive the letter by February. So I think this ends my UPCAT journey but never my UP dream. My UP dream continues. I`ll do everything to graduate BA Broadcast Communication from UP Diliman. That`s my goal. I swear from this day on. :)

PS. I think my brother felt that I`m sad so he edited this for me:

Recap for the year 2011♥

2010-12-22T17:08:00.002+08:00

Last day in school for 2010

2010-12-18T07:53:00.002+08:00

It was a memorable day yesterday since it`s our last Christmas Party in High School. We played parlor games, ate a lot of food and had exchange gifts. Sharlyn, the one who got my name, gave me a cuddly teddy bear from Blue Magic and his name is Stringbean Jr. but I prefer to call him Baby Sitaw! haha! But behind all the happiness that we felt yesterday, we also felt sad because our adviser might not get back next year. I don`t know what`s the exact reason but if it`s for her betterment, we should set her free.

I`m used to waking up early. I don`t know if this is good for me. I want to allot more hours for my sleep this vacay. :>

HAPPY VACAY EVERYONE! =))

I hope watch this on March 2011 with my co-seniors!

The Happenings

2010-12-13T17:53:00.000+08:00

I haven`t blog for some weeks already and before this tiring week continues, I`ll make some recap. Last week was just an okay-week for me. We had some sort of TV show for our TLE Monthly Test and believe it or not, we got the highest grade -- 100%. Well I really can`t believe that my teacher appreciated my editing skills which can be compared to a toddler`s work. Anyway, it was fulfilling for me. BA FILM at UP Diliman, here I come. :"> On you left side is my group`s picture before our shoot. :)

Last Saturday, I went to UST to submit my classmate`s application form. I`m glad it was processed fast so I got home early (7 PM) HAHA! Blame the traffic at Alabang. Christmas rush is on the air that`s why. Maybe I`ll end my post here. I still have to review for our monthly tests happening tomorrow up until Thursday. On Friday, we`ll be having our Christmas Party. I`m excited for the 2-week break~

Manila, Book.

2010-12-04T06:18:00.001+08:00

Last Wednesday, my classmates and I went to Manila. Together with my classmates Errol and Mella, we went to PUP to claim our test permits. The line in PUP was awesome — very smooth flowing. We haven`t had any problem except the fact that I needed to handle a situation wherein we panicked because Errol left his stub somewhere. It made us find a computer shop and print the stub over again. After that, we went to JRU and inquire about college stuffs. (I don`t have any plans in enrolling in JRU though.) then we proceeded to Megamall. We roamed around and then we ate at KFC. Yum! =)) Then lastly, we had a very long, complicated trip to UST. And when when we arrived there, I found out that Mella (the only one who`ll apply for USTET) forgot her birth certificate photocopy. So we left UST and went home. We experienced a heavy traffic at Bicutan. I arrived home at 6 pm.

BTW, I already finished reading Everything Hurts, the book that I bought after my DOST test. If I`m going to rate it from 1-10, I`ll give 8. The story was good. It was about a man who experienced a lot of pain in his life. He relied to a self-help book who claims to ease everybody`s Acute Psychogenic Syndrome (APS). But in the end of the story, Phil Camp found out that nobody can cure the pain he`s suffering but himself and the ones close to his heart. It was a humorous novel that collaborates with a bit of drama. :>

DOST aptitude test and Self-enrichment Activity

2010-11-28T14:32:00.001+08:00

Last Sunday was a very good day for me. I woke up at 4:30 am and then I fixed myself. My mom and I left our house at 6 am then we arrived at Muntinlupa National High School at 7. MNHS was located in the inner part of Muntinlupa. When I got at the testing room, I saw the proctor checking the test permits of those who were on the line so I joined the line too. In less than five minutes, we entered the room and then we started with the test. The examiner was not strict. And also, the examiner looked like Dr. Prisco Nilo. Heehee. He didn`t confiscated the gadgets so the others used their phones and music players. Just like the UPCAT, we filled-up a personal info sheet. And one question that struck me there was the last question: “Have you taken the UPCAT?” I shaded the circle with a YES answer. =)) It made me smile big time! The thing on my mind was like, “This was exactly the conclusion I had blogged! The DOST test really affects the UPCAT results or it might be VICE VERSA. I hope they would consider non-scientific course too. Hahahaha!” After that, our first test was speed test. It was really easy … IF THERE`S NO TIME LIMIT but unfortunately, I`m unsure of some on my answers on that part because I was really pressured with the time. The next test was science and just like the other tests that I took, (UPCAT and NCAE) it was really hard too. What should I expect? It`s Department of SCIENCE and Technology test! Haha! The math test was easier than I expected yet I`m not confident with my answers. =)) Then the second to the last test was linguistics. It was trouble-free. Heehee. The last test was personality test. It was like a psychological test. We finished at 11 am and I went to southmall to spend the rest of the day with my family. BTW, the examiner said that the passers will just receive a mail some time in April otherwise, those who wouldn`t pass wouldn`t receive any letter. I can also check it at the SEI`s website. I`m hoping for the best. AND…UPCAT results is just 2 months away. Yeay! I`m so excited.

Yesterday, we had a semi-retreat together with other schools at our nearby church. What we did was we shared our personal life with each other. There were 3 priests who facilitated the event. There were also other speakers: Tito Ching and Tita Tess who shared their love story; soon-to-be-priest Bro. Mark Reyes who studied and teached Theology in Ateneo. He said that he once failed a GMA-7 actress but he didn`t gave the name. haha! and there was also this De La Salle Zobel guy teacher (he graduated from UPD) who gave me goosebumps when he said that her sister is Bernadette Reyes who is currently working as a reporter in GMA. There were some more others but I forgot their name. It was a fun day actually. I also love the last part where we are asked to see visual presentations, including this love letter from God which struck me:

And before I forgot, I saw my childhood schoolmate, Patricia Villegas. I was really impressed because she`s now a President of their Supreme Student Council. She shared that she was consistent on their top 5. Knowing that she`s studying in a public school, I know it`s hard to perform that well because there are a lot of students competing. We have same plans in life. She took the UPCAT too and her first choice was Broadcast Communication in UPD. But her second campus choice was Baguio. Well, if ever, I know that I have a soon-to-be-companion in UPD. Heehee.

Lotto luck

2010-11-20T21:34:00.001+08:00

My mom occasionally plays lotto. She would bet for our birthdates and birth months. There are times when she gets to win a little amount of money. Probably, there`s luck behind our numbers. :)

Last Wednesday, I don`t know what urge kuya and I to watch the lotto draw. My brother said that if nobody gets the jackpot, he would try to bet the following day for 6/55. If he wins it, he would produce a concert of SNSD here in the Philippines! I never expected that the 6/45 draw would make me ecstatic. Why? Because all the numbers that my mom used to bet appeared. Yes, it was like we won the P38M jackpot. But unfortunately, my mom didn`t played lotto. REGRET. Heehee. Though it would really help us big time, it might just give threat to our lives so it`s just fine. Heehee.

BTW, tomorrow`s my DOST test. May God bless me! =))

Ola~

2010-11-14T16:50:00.001+08:00

Hi there! I`ve been receiving many blessings lately. First, I got perfect score in my two tests which made me go up to top 7 in our class. (last quarter, I`m on top 8 :D) and then I also got oh-so high scores in MATH AND PHYSICS. :) Then Daddy left for Malaysia just a few hours ago. YEAY! =)) BTW, I already fill-up my form for UST. Yes, my parents allowed me to go for it. I won`t pay anything anyway since I belong to last year`s top 5 in our class. So I picked AB Journalism and BS Electronics and Communications Engineering. Speaking of engineering, next week is my DOST test. May God bless me! We`ll have a quiz in MAPEH tomorrow so I better continue reviewing now. heeeheee. And then tuesday`s a holiday. Yay for that! :)

The 7-day break

2010-11-05T15:22:00.004+08:00

Somehow, I`m lucky to have seven days of rest compared to others. (Hi Ina! :D) This week was quite challenging but it was fun. I really enjoyed this break. Yeah. Long hours of sleep, getting attached to social networks for almost 1/4 of the day, watching TV shows and eating of course! And because of these luxuries, I want the days to pass by very quick so that December break would be in the palm of our hands! HAHAHA.

Finally, last wednesday, I already made some parts of my essay. It was written in Filipino. I don`t know when will I add my other points but I hope I could finish it before the year ends. I also hope I could understand my crappy writings on that pink notebook when I edit it. =))

Just as what I`ve said, I enjoyed watching TV within the last consecutive days. Conan Edogawa never fails to make me happy. :"> Showtime and Kokey @ Ako were also on the top of my list. Vhong Navarro has this certain character which makes me like him. He`s so versatile. He can even control my emotions. Hahaha!

Last Night, we watched Toy Story 3. It was nostalgic. The story was quite good and it`s ending can make you go teary-eyed. I almost cried. Heeehee. Just like Andy, I realized that it`s really hard to let go of the things that remind you of your childhood. Actually, I still have a lot of dolls and bears still kept on plastic bags and cabinets which I never played for years but when my parents ask me if I would like to throw all of those away, i would answer no. They are one of my treasures! :)

To end this post, I would like to share you this video. I recorded it last night. :D

How was it?

2010-11-02T07:48:00.001+08:00

Down to the last six days of 'sembreak'.

So far, I`m enjoying these no-school days. I occupy myself with household chores, and relaxation of course. And actually, I`m already writing ideas about the essay that I will submit next year. I haven`t really done so much yet because whenever I write some of the thoughts that were formed on my head, I would suddenly feel blank and I`ll end up napping. *COUCH POTATO ATTACK* Despite that fact, I`m still hoping that I can finish at least 1/4 of it before this one-week vacation comes to close. With regards to school matters, I wish to see good grades on my test papers next week! haha! And before I forgot, 19 days more before the DOST aptitude test. yay! Mommy is really pushing me to get that scholarship. Let`s see. 8-)

Room for Improvement

2010-10-26T14:00:00.000+08:00

Hi there! We don`t have classes today due to some election-related stuff. So later, I`ll be reviewing again to ensure my dream to get a perfect score in any test tomorrow, on Thursday or Friday. I don`t know what else to write. Hmmnn. By the way, I`m planning to join this annual essay writing contest I`m quite sure you are familiar of -- The Carlos Palanca Award for Literature. I kinda find myself inferior about it but I`ll try. I want to fulfill one of my wishes, you know. =)) On the following days, weeks and months to come, I`ll be conceptualizing essays either Filipino or English. I`ll start writing on sembreak or if great amount of time permits me to. This year, the submission started last March 30 and ended last April 30, I think. So I`ll be joining next year. (next year`s gonna be a big year perhaps -- release of college entrance tests, graduation, essay contest and start of college life.)

So guys, wish me luck and may God helped me through these endeavors.

Setting up a new goal.

2010-10-22T05:06:00.000+08:00

I want to make good in the upcoming DOST-SEI merit scholarship entrance test. Maybe you would wonder why I`m now rooting to pass this certain test. Well first, I know I needed to help my parents in meeting my needs (tuition, books, allowance, etc.). Engineering is not my forte but I`ll try to get into it for the sake of helping. :) Secondly, it`s because of this certain conclusion which I`m not really sure of. (probably just 25%) Just recently, I went to the website of SEI and I found these passers of the merit scholarship last year. And then I went to the UPCAT website and I check the UPCAT passers last year. I don`t know what`s up with myself. Maybe I would like to check if these certain merit scholars pass the UPCAT too. And guess what? Almost all merit scholarship grantee passed the UPCAT and more than 5 or even 10 or even 15 oblation scholarship grantees! Then, I concluded things.

It is possible that these students took the said tests and because they were really smart, they made it through. or;
it is also possible that they passed the UPCAT first and then the result of their SEI scholarship test affected the UPCAT that`s why they also became part of the oblation scholarship. Since UP is government run and owned, they have the capacity to review the documents pertaining the tests they took.

So there. I concluded that there is a chance of getting my way through UP (and I can be an oblation scholar probably) if my conclusions were right that the scholarship aptitude test for DOST-SEI affects the oblation scholarship offered by UP. Maybe. Just maybe. But still, I don`t want to waste this opportunity given to me so I should be of great performance on November 21, 2010, 7:00-12:00NN at Muntinlupa National High School`s DOST building - Physics room.
PS. I`ve checked them once again and I found out that most of them chose engineering/science/math related courses in UP. I hope, they would consider mass comm too! :P

Typhoon Juan and my collected thoughts

2010-10-20T08:21:00.006+08:00

This week, another typhoon ravaged the country. Juan hit the the Northern Luzon which brought great destruction to the agricultural sector. I`m actually thinking how were my grandparents and my tito`s crops now. They were very unfortunate because Juan directly hit Isabela. :( On the other hand, I`m hoping Nueva Ecija wasn`t damaged badly since they just reached signal #2.

It`s glad to know that the government agencies as well as the people were prepared before hand. Setting aside my bitterness, PAGASA did well this time! :) I must say it has improved. But even if they had performed well, I still like the past administration. I`m sorry. :(

Yesterday, we had a whole-day class but we haven`t done anything. We didn`t have classes because only 2 of our teachers attended. Due to extreme boredom, I suddenly came up with a poem entitled "Typhoon Juan".

Typhoon Juan

Strong winds and big drops of rain;

The trees are swaying -- i know they`re in pain

On the oceans and seas, the waves are crashing

The sky is dark and there is the lightning

It`s typhoon time once again

and students are hoping the school admin. will decide to suspend

I am unhappy not just because we reached signal # 4
but also because PAGASA wasn`t the same after all
Dr. Prisco Nilo and Mr. Nathaniel Cruz weren`t there anymore
My heart wish "Could you bring them back on the floor?"

How I already miss his weather forecasts
I can still remember when I would watch news reports steadfast
But somehow, I am now happy
Because Kuya Cyrell liked my status pertaining his dad, Mang Tani

Almost half of the day, Janine and I talked about a lot of stuffs. It was really enjoying. I learned more about her life. :> BTW, we have no classes today due to some teacher-meeting. =))

Honor and Excellence

2010-10-15T05:38:00.001+08:00

Three more months and the UPCAT results will be finally released. I don`t really want to assume nor expect too much though there is somewhat, a little hope in my heart that someday, i`m gonna be an elite student of UP, either Diliman or Los Baños. You know what? Everyday I would pray and daydream about my "iska life", hoping this would all come to life SOON.

So much for that henna-and-her-impossible-dream-thingy. HAHAHA. Anyway, the reason why I posted this is because I would like to acknowledge Professor Solita Monsod in her last lecture to her class.It was really strking even if I`m not ~~yet~~ a UP (especially Diliman) student. She absolutely shot the bull`s eye. It`s true that most of the UP graduates go abroad in search for greener pastures. Maybe, they dream to be successful in their own careers not remembering that the Filipino invested money on them so that they can help in the future. It`s like making our own product and putting a made in china seal on it. UP is not a training ground for professionals who would work abroad rather it is a producer of worthy professionals who would stay and serve their fellowmen.

As we can observe, most of our government leaders came from UP diliman and they are cheaters. they are bright and excellent and all but they use this to mine for more gold. It is "Honor and Excellence"-- the motto of UP. It is not excellence alone nor excellence first before honor. It is honor above everything.

If you are really an iskolar ng bayan, show it and carry with you the honor and excellence UP has taught you.

on the other side of life, kakagising ko lang at alam mo bang ang saya ko kasi for the first time, napanaginipan ko ang UP and guess what? si winnie monsod nakausap ko daw. nakasakay daw ako sa kotse nun tapos nakita ko siya. nag-usap daw kami tungkol blog ko kasi nabasa niya daw yun and she liked it. binigyan niya pa nga raw ako ng pera. i refused first pero tinanggap ko rin sa huli. tapos in front of her, nag-promise ako na hindi ako mag-wowork sa abroad at hindi ko gagayahin yung mga leader nating corrupt at cruel. basta. ang ewan ng feeling. akala ko totoo. and actually, di ba lahat ng panaginip ko, may sign na ibinibigay? it`s my first time na parte ang UP sa dream ko. maybe sign na ba yun ng pagpasa ko sa UPCAT? HAHAHA. we`ll see. :))

ano ba?

2010-10-06T04:28:00.000+08:00

sinubukan kong tanungin muli si ramon bautista ..

ewan ko pero lalo yata akong naguluhan. ano ba talaga ang pipiliin ko? yung mahal na mahal kong gawin pero ako lang yung makikinabang o yung mas kailangan kong gawin para makatulong ako. noon pa man, bago ko sinabi kay mommy na mag-apply sa DOST, tinanggap ko na lahat ng mangyayari. pero ngayon, ewan ko ba. natatakot ata akong humarap sa mas malaking responsibilidad. pano pag pumasa ako? siyempre pipilitin ako ni mommy na mag-engineering na lang. eh pano kung hindi ko ma-meet grade requirements ng DOST? eh di mawawala yung scholarship PLUS sasakit ang ulo ko kasi engineering yung course. HAAAY. gusto ko ng mass comm pero mas makakatulong yung scholarship na yun. :(

therefore i conclude that the dreams you see when you`re sleeping will happen in real life but in a different story.

hindi ko alam kung bakit ko biglang binalikan yung archives nitong blog ko. akalain ko ba namang may nakaka-taas balahibo akong nakita.

nung july 16 (I AM SAAD. D:), napanaginipan ko si mang tani. nagkaroon daw siya ng "talk" sa klase and umalis siya kaagad before pa man ako makalapit sa kanya para magpa-picture at autograph. hinabol daw namin siya ni CL. tapos biglang ATC yung naging scene. tapos daw nung bumalik kami ng school, andun din siya kasi naiwan daw yung wallet niya. pagbalik namin sa classroom, bumalik din daw si mang tani. naiwan niya daw kasi yung wallet niya. then ako daw yung nagbigay. tapos, nag-usap kami. nagpa-picture pa nga daw ako tsaka nagpa-autograph. basta madami kaming pinag-usapan dun sa science laboratory ng MTS (yung dati kong school) then he was interested daw sa mga bagay na nandun. siyempre, science-related! pinaglalaruan pa nga namin yung human torso. hahahaha. pero ito siguro yung pinaka-gusto kong part:

henna: alam niyo po ba, you were one of my inspiration. you`re the reason why i chose broadcast communication. kasi i really wanted to have an interview with you pero tingin ko it would be impossible na kasi you`re leaving.

then he smiled at me and hugged me.

di baaaa? ang galing kasi just last thursday, nangyari yan .. in a different story. nagmessage ako sa facebook and never did i expected na he would reply. kung titingnan mo at pag-iisipan mong mabuti halos pareho. dati, gustong-gusto ko talaga makita si mang tani personally pero bigla siyang umalis for australia. since then, humina na yung kumpiyansa kong makausap o makita siya. yung wallet dun sa dream ko ay sumisimbolize as media ng pagko-communicate namin ulit. para siyang facebook. =)) tapos yung dialogue namin parang ganun talaga. kung makikita niyo sa previous post ko ang message, mapapansin niyong may pagkakatulad. yun nga lang, nag-smile lang siya tapos hinug niya ako. kung sabagay, nakaka-comfort yung message niya sa'kin. haay. bigla ko tuloy hiniling na sana managinip ako na sa UP na ako nag-aaral. WAAAALEEEY. X3

ang sarap talaga ng pakiramdam na maka-usap mo ang dating spokesman ng PAGASA. :D

i know they`ll be back once again, once more

2010-10-02T06:28:00.002+08:00

last thursday, natapos na naman ang another season ng brewrats. masaya na malungkot. siyempre, pinapatawa nila ako lagi. :> sobrang nakaka-touch yung last minutes nila. parang new year countdown lang. kumanata sila ng kaleidoscope world (habang nagsasalita si pia magalona. dj din kasi siya dun sa station) tapos huling el bimbo. basta madami pa. puro jamming lang ng dalawang banda at lahat ng dj ng u92 tapos walang commercials! haha. sana nga katulad ng sabi ni fr.francis, bumalik ang brewrats. siguro matatagalan pa yun kasi wala pang radio station na kumukuha sa kanila. haha! basta, i`m hoping to hear them again .. soon. i`ll miss you dj ramon, dj angel & dj tado!♥

you made me feel better

2010-10-01T05:10:00.000+08:00

this week was quite great. wala kaming pasok last monday kasi rest day ng mga nag-field trip.tuesday, nag-dry run kami for NCAE. then nung wednesday, bacoor day saka NCAE. oo, sobrang inis na inis ako dahil holiday sana yun kaso biglang umepal yung NCAE. haha! madali lang yung NCAE. at nakakabigla nga kasi sobrang dali-dali lang nung sa math. yung science lang talaga ako nahirapan. well, halos lahat ganun din yung sinasabi. =)) then bago kami umuwi, ang sarap sa pakiramdam nung sabihing walang pasok yung seniors kinabukasan. haaay. sobrang pahinga. pagka-uwi ko, ang sama talaga ng pakiramdam ko. nagmeryenda ako, gumamit ng computer sandali at nahiga sa sofa habang nanonood ng TV. eventually, nagdevelop ang sinat. bigla na lang sumakit ang ulo ko tas lumala pa yung sore throat ko. nakatulo ako mga 7. hindi ako nakapakinig ng brewrats. D: thursday, gumising ako ng masama pa rin pakiramdam pero nung binigyan ako ng mommy ng isang chocnut, sumaya na ako. BABAW KO. =)) then nung hapon, nabasa ko na nagreply si mang tani sa sinened ko sa kanyang message. nakaka-flatterrrrr. :">

kahapon din, game 2 ng ateneo-feu ng UAAP. unahin natin yung sa awards. nakakagulat kasi wala man lang nakakuha ng award from ateneo except for monfort. kitang-kita naman kasi yung improvement niya compared to last season. congrats emman! :) then nung game, yung first and second quarter, medyo hindi na ako umasa na tatapusin na nila ngayon. sabi ko, hassle yun pag tinuloy pa sa sabado kaya sana matapos na rin. nung second qtr, nakahabol ateneo pero sa pagtatapos nung qtr na yun, lamang pa rin FEU. nung third qtr lang sila lumamang pero dikit pa rin. nung fourth qtr, sobrang ganda nung laban and on the last minutes remaining, lamang pa rin ateneo! until before mag-last 2 minutes, naka-3 point si ryan buenafe and that marks the rejoicing of the atenean community kasi 5 na yung lamang. OO, nagchampion ang ateneo blue eagles! back-to-back-to-back. 3-peat! =)) sobrang saya nung pakiramdam na simula 2008, yung unang taon ng pagsuporta ko sa kanila, hindi nila ako binibigo every year. sa sunday na pala yung bonfire. sad ako kasi hindi ako makakapunta kasi may pasok kinabukasan pero ok pa rin naman kasi nakapunta na rin ako last year. sayang lang kasi nakita ko nag-tweet si chris tiu, pupunta daw siya. awwww. sayaaaang.

CONGRATS BLUE EAGLES! AMDG -- FOR GOD`S GREATER GLORY!

kahapon ay field trip namin. wala akong kuwento tungkol dun kasi hindi naman ako sumama. haha. gayunpaman, nagkaroon kami ng family day. nagpunta kami sa MOA, shopping saka sumakit ang tiyan ko sa kakakain. :> ang sayaaaaaaa. tapos nung isang araw, nag-apply na ako sa PUP iApply. babayaran na lang para ma-process na. pinili kong courses ay:

1st choice - computer engineering
2nd choice - broadcast communication
3rd choice - journalism

naman kasi eeeeeh. alam ko. COMPUTER ENGINEERING -- FIRST CHOICE. woah. kung hindi lang dahil sa DOST na yun. basta. sana hindi pa rin yun matuloy. gusto ko MASS COM. =)) sa january 30 PUPCET eh

at nitong mga nakaraang araw, napag-isip isip ko na sa 18th birthday ko, gusto ko magkaroon ng dSLR. =)) oo, kahit walang party or what. basta may dSLR lang, masayang-masaya na ako. hindi ko pa 'yun mahihiling ngayon kasi gusto ko munang pumasa sa UPCAT eh. ;)

2010-09-24T17:56:00.001+08:00

last day kahapon ng monthly tests namin and i`m really glad tapos na ang madugong linggong ito! haha. pwede kong hatiin sa dalawang parts ang linggong ito.. oo bad at good vibes. unahin na natin yung mga BV moments:

yung exam ko sa physics at math, EPIC FAIL. may ilan kasing problems na mali yung solution ko. napaka-careless ko talaga! :( nakita ko na yung result for math. 31/50 ako. not baaaad. :D tapos yung sa TLE ko rin pala, isang malaking pagkakamali. haha. pa'no ba naman imbes na true or false, T saka F yung nilagay ko. nanghinayang tuloy yung teacher ko sa'kin. imbes daw kasi na 48/50 ako eh naging 39/50 na lang. errr. D:

yung sa good vibes naman, ito:

nagpunta kami kahapon ni mommy sa DOST. oo, hindi ako nag-attend nung review nung NCAE namin nung hapon. nagpaalam naman ako sa teacher ko. :) ewan ko ba pero nung pagtapak ko sa premises ng DOST, feeling ko part of mang tani entered my body. hihi. sobrang lamig dun sa office nila. as in! tapos ang tagal pa kaming ininterview ni mommy. sabi ko nga sa isip ko: "sana itanong kung saka-sakaling papasa ako sa DOST test, saang ahensya ko gugustuhing magtrabaho. tiyak ang sagot ko: 'sa PAGASA po. idol ko po kasi si mang tani. :)'" hahaha. after 1 hour, binigay na yung test permit. natupad yung hiniling kong schedule. 7am-12nn sa Muntinlupa National High school ako magtetest. good luck sa'kin. sa november 21 na yun eh. hehe.
kahapon, nagakaroon ako ng chance maka-bonding si mommy. pagakatapos ng appointment namin sa DOST, nagdinner kami sa kenny rogers' sa may roxas blvd. bago kami umuwi then lastly, nagpa-gupit si mommy. sayaaaa. :>

yun lang muna iku-kwento ko. haha. sige, next time ulit. :>

PS. fieldtrip na namin sa sunday; hindi ako kasama at masaya ako dun. :) AT.. game 1 na ng ateneo-FEU bukas. sana champion ulit ateneo. sabi kasi ng cousin ko na kasama ko last bonfire, punta daw ulit kami sa bonfire this year kung champion ulit blue eagles. yeay! happy long weekend sa'kin. walang pasok sa monday. :D

blog day, saturday

2010-09-18T06:26:00.001+08:00

medyo nakakapagod ang week na ito, considering, umuwi kami ng 5:40 last wednesday dahil sa review sa NCAE. minsan, iniisip ko bakit kaya kinakailangan pa ng review, eh pag nandun ka na mismo, wala ka namang ibang magagawa kundi mag-rely sa stock knowledge eh. saka aptitude test lang naman yun. magdedetermine kung anong course bagay sa'yo. pero ok lang naman sa'kin yung reviews kahit papaano.

puntahan niyo sa upcat.up.edu.ph/results. nakaka-excite! :D sa january 2011 na! hindi pala sa birth month ko ire-release. haha!

woot! another thing, last thursday, may nag-add sa facebook ko -- taga-PAGASA. i was like "WOOOOW." and then mang tani`s wife confirmed me already. :) and guess what, even mang tani confirmed me already! yay! ang saya ng pakiramdam pagkagising mo, makikita mo sa notifications yun. O___O

next week na pala unit tests namin kaya review na ulit. super ako tututok sa studies para makabalik sa top 5. siya nga pala, by next week, baka pumunta kami ni mommy sa office ng DOST para ipasa na yung application form for scholarship. well, nag-decide ako ng major major para dun. siyempre, kung sakaling pumasa, eh computer engineering ite-take up ko instead of mass comm. kaya bahala na. almost done na yung pag-fifill-up sa form. =))

from zero to hero and hero to zero

2010-09-16T04:30:00.000+08:00

at ako'y nagbabalik para magbalita ng mga kaganapan sa aking buhay nitong nakaraang mga araw.birthday ni ina nung september 11! party ulit sa bahay nila kasama ang mga dati kong classmates. :> ang special ng gift ko kay ina, pinabati ko si ramon bautista! ♥ haha. it was a happy night naman. nagka-usap kami ni laine at patrice. sana nexy uear ulit. yay. 18 na si ina next year! :))

last sunday naman, nanood kami ng UAAP cheerdance competition. well, at first FEU ulit mananalo for champions pero UP pala! anyway, magaling din talaga yung UP tsaka wala masyadong errors unlike other team na sobrang daming stunts pero sobrang daming error. nagulat nga ako kasi ginawa ng FEU yung fountain of youth. eh sobrang hirap nun eh.

ano naman kung 0-14 sa men`s basketball? champion naman sa cheerdance! =))

kahapon pala, sinabi na yung top sa klase. thank God kasi kasali pa rin ako! top 8 nga lang. babawi na lang ako next qtr. dami ko rin kasi na-miss na lessons kasi late ako pumasok di ba? basta, papabalikin ko sarili ko sa top 5! =))

these past days, bigla-bigla na lang sumasagi sa isip ko .. paano 'pag di ako pumasa sa UP? haha. PUP na talaga? basta, pipilitin kong magtransfer sa UP after 30 units. hihi. tapos, mag-aaply na pala ko ng scholarship for DOST. sana makapasa! kaso pag nangyari yun, may posibilidad na hindi na masscomm kunin ko. computer engineering na lang sa PUP. :| bahala na. sayang din kasi yung scholarship. :(

happiness on the edge of a cliff

2010-09-04T06:03:00.000+08:00

naging mala-roller coaster ride ang buhay ko ngayong linggong ito. ang daming nangyari. hay. umpisahan natin sa monday. yun, masaya ako kasi holiday. pero pag-dating ng tuesday, medyo hindi maganda mood ko nun. tapos nalaman ko pang in one month, mawawala na yung U92 dahil kulang sa commercials. ibig sabihin nun, mawawala na rin yung brewrats. :( sana makahanap agad sila ng new home. :> wednesday, nagkaroon ng meeting para sa mga tatakbo sa student council. thursday yung campaign at kahapon yung botohan. i don`t know kung sinu-sino yung mga nanalo pero yung sa president, yung kabilang party yung nanalo. si CL. :) hindi ko pa alam for other positions pero i`m hoping na matalo ako. oo. matalo ako. i`m not really wanting this to happen after all. medyo napilitan lang din naman ako. first, i don`t like the position. senator? WTH. oo. may senators kami. and i don`t get the point including senators as part of the student council. i don`t know what will be the job ought to be done. duuuuhhhh. wala eh, napasubo na lang ako. pangalawa, when we had our party meeting, nalaman ko na ang pangalan pala ng party namin ay SWAT (Smart Warriors As a Team). i got more disappointed by that. ano tayo? nakiki-ride sa manila hostage taking? :| meron sana akong naisip kaso yung president yung nag-isip nun at wala akong ma-say. smart warriors daw kasi daw matatalino at palaban kami. okay. ka-BV lang. i`m sorry. yun lang talaga ang opinion ko. D: and lastly, nung thursday, nilagay ko sa bulsa ng jogging pants ko yung USB na may laman na 4 na kanta na pina-download ni andrea. pagdating ko sa school, nung kinapa ko yng bulsa ko, wala na. sobrang kinabahan ako kasi kay kuya yun. i hoped na baka nahulog ko lang sa bahay pero later that afternoon, napag-alaman kong wala dun. nagalit si kuya sa'kin pero hindi naman gaano. alam kong sobrang mali ko yun and i hate myself for being burara. hay. sana salubungin naman ako ng good vibes sa darating na linggo. anyway, long vaycay na naman kasi walang pasok sa friday dahil sa eidl fitr. salamat po ng marami, Lord! :)

less-stressful week indeed

2010-08-28T06:05:00.000+08:00

last thursday, i went to ABS-CBN to claim my oh! album from myx mag. fortunately, i already got it. myx staffs were really accomodating. i even got the chance to go inside their department. there, i saw tons of video tapes of their past episodes. here`s my picture: :>

later that afternoon, i went to UP Diliman again. it`s a lot of fun! yun nga lang, nakakahinayang kasi nung wednesday pa yung ACLE ni ramon bautista. sayang, thursday ako nagpunta. pero ok na rin at nakita ko na ang oble. nung pauwi na ako, i walked lang. i want to pass by agham road sana kaso i don`t know what route i took hanggang makita kong GMA-Kamuning LRT station na pala. haha! nakatipid tuloy ako ng P11.00! hahaha! reached home @ 5:30pm. nakakapagooooood. =))

thursday night naman, i listened to rock ed radio. naisipan kong makinig after ng brewrats kasi interesting yung topic nila. about sa incident last monday. their guests were patricia evangelist, a columnist from inquirer; part of the ANC, ruffy biazon and a certain retired military person pati pala si tonyo cruz na isang blogger andun din. they discussed the things na kulang at mali and i agreed with them. dahil nga kay pat evangelista, nakita ko ang personalidad ng isang UP student. she`s really good in debating. diyan magaling ang UP eh, sa debates. :)

yeay! a long weekend. sige, uumpisahan ko ng enjoy-in tong weekend na to. :>

The August 23 Quirino Grandstand Hostage-taking

2010-08-24T04:44:00.003+08:00

hindi ako nakapakinig ng brewrats kagabi dahil sa isang malagim na trahedya. akala ko pa naman, pag-uwi ko galing eskwelehan, makakapagpahinga ako. hindi ko inasahan na makakakita ako ng live hostage drama. ang malala pa sa balwarte natin. hinostage daw kasi ni rolando mendoza yung isang bus na puro hongkong national na turista. tumagal ng halos 11 hours ang nasabing pangyayari. bakit nga ba kasi nagpupumiglas itong si mendoza? bakit siya nang-hostage? meron daw kasi siyang patong-patong na kaso at ang gusto niyang mangyari ay maibalik siya sa pwesto at mabigyan siya ng benepisyo, which to think is mali. if he did something wrong, then he should pay for it in jail. sa ginawa niya, mas pinalala niya pa yung sitwasyon. pulis siya, alam niyang mas bibigat ang kaso niya pag nang-hostage pa siya. siguro gulong-gulo na lang talaga ang utak niya. gusto niyang buhayin ang pamilya niya pero ang masama dito ay nadamay pati yung ibang tao, lalo na`t hindi naman natin ka-lahi kung kaya`t naka-apekto talaga ito sa reputasyon ng bansa natin. ayon sa balita, may 8-9 na patay. siya man ay binawian din agad ng buhay matapos matamaan ng sniper sa ulo. sa kabutihang palad, may ilan pa ring survivors. sa ngayon, pinagbabawalan na muna ang mga hong kong nationals na pumunta ng pilipinas para na rin sa kanilang seguridad. [OTA]

nakikiramay ang buong pilipinas sa hindi magandang pagwawakas ng hostage drama. bilang isang pinoy, humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa kung ano mang damages ang binuhat namin sa inyo, hong kong.

dahil sa malagim na insidenteng ito, habang nanonood kami kagabi ng balita, biglang sinabi sa'kin ni mommy, "huwag ka ng magrereporter, ah." i don`t know if she takes that as a joke pero sa`kin, tuloy pa rin ang pangarap. i must live the dream of becoming a journalist. alam ko ang panganib. fresh pa sa`kin ang maguindanao massacre. ito ang realidad sa pagiging bahagi ng media. kailangan mong i-relay sa tao kung ano ang nangyayari kahit buhay mo ang nakataya. mas lalo akong na-bilib sa media ng GMA kagabi. ewan ko ba pero sobra akong nilalamig at kinakabahan para sa kanila kagabi. anyhow, wala pa rin akong planong mag back-out sa tatahakin kong landas. ito pa rin. tuloy pa rin ang pangarap.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Christopher Antonio!

2010-08-23T04:17:00.000+08:00

habang binabalikan ko yung archives ko, nakita ko na august 20, 2008 pala yung unang post ko. gaaaah. i forgot to greet my blog. sobrang FAIL yun aah. anyway, magle-late birthday message na lang ako.

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRISTOPHER ANTONIO!

salamat sa pagtanggap at pagintindi sa lahat ng mga sinusulat ko sa'yo. :)) minsan talaga pag wala na akong masabihan, ikaw lang yung nakaka-alam, eh. hihi. sorry din kung napabayaan kita dahil masyado ata akong na-addict sa tumblr nun. :> kaya pala ako nagbabalik-loob sa blogger kasi birthday mo pala. :"> yun lang, sana magtagal pa tayo!

Bakit nga ba UP?

2010-08-22T15:14:00.002+08:00

dati-rati, pinapangarap kong maging atenista.pa'no ba naman, eh in love na in love kasi ako sa mga players ng blue eagles. gwapo na, magaling pang mag-basketball at siyempre, matalino. katulad na lang ni chris tiu na dean`s lister. :> pero habang tumatagal, nawawala na yung mga iniidolo ko sa blue eagles. grumaduate na kasi. kasabay nun ang pagde-desisyon kong pangaraping makapasok sa UP. sobrang tayog ng pangarap ko, ano? alam kong mahirap pumasa sa UPCAT. madaming kakumpitensya. bukod pa diyan, mabigat din sa bulsa kung magpapa-aral ka sa UP. hindi naman lahat ng mahihirap kayang mag-aral sa UP, eh except na lang kung may scholarship ka. alam ko, hindi gaanong sigurado kung makakapasok ako sa quota o kung makapasok man, hindi ko gustong pahirapan pa ang magulang ko sa pagbabayad ng P700-P1500/unit. sana talaga maka-apply ako ng scholarship. SANA. pero sa likod ng lahat ng ito. bakit nga ba UP?

ininspire kasi ako ni ramon bautista♥, ate ayah and kuya cyrell cruz, jiggy manicad at iba pang personalidad na nagtapos sa UP na kahit na ganun kalayo ang narating nila, down to earth pa rin! :)
ang sarap ng ambience sa loob ng UP diliman. parang nasa gubat ka lang. napaka-friendly din ng mga manong guards and UP ikot manong drivers. btw, ayaw kong nakakakita ng mga naka-mini shorts na estudyante. ewan ko. ayaw ko lang talaga.
mataas ang tsansang makahanap agad ako ng trabaho pagka-graduate. siyempre 'pag nakita nilang graduate ka sa prestihiyosong unibersidad na 'yun, siyempre, UP 'yun.
malaki ang UP. madami kang pwedeng pasyalan habang break time at masasarap din ang mga binibenta nilang pagkain.
lastly, ang mga propesor sa UP, alam kong credible. :D

ayun lang naman. sana sa darating na labsan ng results sa february 2011, makita ko ang pangalan ko dun. ipi-print screen ko yun kung saka-sakali. kung hindi naman, ayos lang. experience din kasi yun.

Random stuffs

2010-08-22T13:46:00.003+08:00

i have little things to share pala. :>

last tuesday, i found out na what are the names of mang tani`s children. i searched kasi sa twitter if may nagfa-follow kay mang tani na cruz ang surname and i was succesful to find one. si ayah cruz. i confirmed na siya yun kasi nag-twet siya sa twitter ni mang tani. sabi niya, "ikaw ba talaga ito Daddy?" i searched her name sa facebook at nakita ko naman siya. in-add ko siya pati yung sibling niya. i never expected na ia-accept nilang dalawa yung friend request ko nung afternoon. hihi. sobrang saya ko lalo nung nakita ko sa notifications ko na nagpost si ate ayah sa wall ko tapos ni-like pa ni kuya cyrell. :">

that made me really happy. =)) tapos i have seen their family pictures. yung wacky nila, ang cute. :> saka pala, both of them were from UP Diliman. kuya cyrell`s course was chemical engineering pero i don`t know what course ate ayah took. they both graduated na. hihi. dami kong alam. :D

next naman, last thursday, kinuha na ni kuya yung run devil run album niya sa myx. kasama niya nun yung dati naming student council president na si ate jennifer cortez. nanalo kasi si ate jen ng super show 2 na album kaya sabay na lang sila. haay. kung bakit naman kasi minalas pa akong kunin yung oh! album ko, eh. TT__TT

la salle-ateneo pala ngayon! go ateneo! one big fight! ADMG! :)) go kirk long.♥

A series of unfortunate events.

2010-08-21T09:10:00.001+08:00

hello! woot. naasikaso ko na namang ayusin ang layout ng blog ko. sa wakaas! ang saya talaga ng pakiramdam pag nagde-date kami ng mga HTMLs. =)) o sige. mag-uumpisa na akong magkuwento tungkol sa mga nangyari ngayong week.

monday and tuesday. nag-review lang naman kami sa mga past lessons namin. siyempre, 1st quarterly examination na. halos walang klase. hahaha!

wednesday. first day ng exam. english was the first subject. dahil ito ang paborito namin, hindi kami gaanong nahirapan dito. :> tapos yung sa computer, meron akong hindi nasagutan dahil hindi ko 'yun na-review. dapat maniwala na ako sa "expect the unexpected."

thursday. first subject yung math. hay sa wakas. nakahinga ako ng maluwag kasi hindi naman siya gaanong ka-stressful. pa'no ba naman. piniga kaya nun yung utak ko habang nirereview ko yun. haha. tapos 2nd and 3rd test namin yung TLE tsaka values. ayus din naman.

friday. last day ng exam. una naming tinest yung physics. grabe. akala ko hindi ko masasagot ng tama yung sa solving. bigla ko kasing nalimot yung solution. buti nung last 5 mins. na lang, bigla kong naalala. WTH. tapos sumunod na test is economics. madali lang din naman siya pati yung last test namin na filipino, ayus lang din. :))

kahapon, akala ko magiging kumpleto ang araw ko. pero kabaligtaran ang nangyari. 11:30 am dismissal namin pero 12:30 na ako sinundo. ang tindi. akala ko hindi na ako susunduin. anyway, dahil dun, 1:30 pm na ako nakaalis ng bahay papuntang ABS-CBN. ang init kahapon, eh wala pa akong payong. mga 4 pm na ako nakarating ng quezon ave. then when i arrived sa ABS, nagpa-fill up ng maliit na form. dun ilalagay kung saan ka pupunta. then tumawag na yung babae dun sa MYX department. after nun, sinabi niya sa akin na wala daw dun yung nagbibigay nung album. balik na lang daw ako sa monday. na-devastate mundo ko. naisip ko na lang na inexpect na yun ng sister ko kasi gift ko yun for her. tsaka, kailan ako babalik? eh, whole day na classes. D: umalis ako ng compound na lukot ang mukha. nagdesisyon ako na pumunta ng UP Diliman para kumuha ng application form for STFAP. ayun. halos lahat ng kasabay ko sa jeep, taga-UP. nakaka-intimidate tuloy tapos suot ko pa yung little miss blue eagle shirt ko. haha! when i arrived at UP, nagtanong-tanong ako kung saan yung vinzon`s. naka-limang tanong siguro ako pero yung nakapagturo sa'kin where exactly is vinzon`s eh yung mother ng isang taga-UPIS siguro. kasi dun yun sa may field tapos tinitingnan niya yung mga nagso-soccer. sabi ko "excuse me, saan po yung vinzon's?" she replied, *pointing her finger* "there. go straight ahead." at ng dumating ako sa vinzon`s, sabi nung gurad, sarado na daw yung kuhanan nung form. 8-5 daw yun eh 5:30 na nun. and so, umuwi na ako. nakakainis pa kasi sobrang traffic sa bicutan. tapos nalaman ko pang nawala yung health card ko. buti nga expire na yun. nahulog ko siguro sa may LRT nung nagbayad ako. tapos when i arrived sa alabang, nadapa pa ako nung papunta na akong sakayan ng jeep. what an EPIC FAIL day. D: ayaw ko ng ganung klaseng araw. haaay. 10:30 pm na ako nakarating sa bahay.

Mang Tani, the weatherman superhero

2010-08-11T15:18:00.002+08:00

It has been a month already, I think, since Nathaniel Cruz, commonly known as Mang Tani, left the country. Reports say that his family is now in Australia since he accepted the job offered to him. Honestly, at first, I became sad but then, I'm trying to understand his situation. I know that he had served the country for countless years already and he deserves to make his own decision for the good of his family too. But then, loosing him is quite hard for most of us because he is really a big help most specially during typhoons.

I always dream to interview Mang Tani; I wanted to go to PAGASA and learn further about the weather. How I imagine myself as a journalist, years from now, conversing with Mr. Nathaniel Cruz. Too bad. One year before college, he left. Now, somehow I feel envious to all these journalists who got the chance to converse with him before. They were sad too. Exactly the same feelings as mine. It's regretful loosing such an excellent government worker like him. :(

Before I end this post, I would like to give you the link of a blog post about Mang Tani. She's really lucky because the whole family of Mr. Nathaniel Cruz read it and they also left comments. Those comments really touched my heart. :( [mang tani, silver lining ]

Mang Tani's child's comment:

Thank you for acknowledging the dedication my dad puts into his work because appreciation means a lot to him. I know for sure that he hardly failed to answer a call from anyone anytime of the day because even when we’re out for dinner, he would gladly take the call. Even if it means waking at 5:30 A.M, he would graciously accept anyone’s call. Never did he reject a call because he knows how important it is for people to know what is happening specially when typhoons are at sight. He never gets tired of his work. Sometimes, he would be at the office 24/7. He would go home just to change clothes and when he would fetch us from school then he would go back again to the office. And even when he’s at home, he hardly has time for himself because right after we eat dinner, you can see him facing his laptop and doing office works. He just never gets tired of doing work. If only people in the government have the same dedication as him, then things would definitely change for the better.
Regarding his going abroad, one thing’s for sure and will never change – IT WAS NEVER ABOUT MONEY. If it’s only for the money, he would have left PAGASA earlier. But no. He loved his work here in PAGASA so much. But there are things we cannot change and so the best way we know of is to accept them and move on. But although he’s now out of PAGASA, he never abandoned it. He still thinks of the welfare of PAGASA and how he could help it to change for the better.

I’m really proud of my Dad and how he has changed the face of PAGASA. And it’s because of you, and some others, who appreciate all his efforts that make my dad continue to be the best forecaster that he can be. Thank you very much.

Mang Tani's wife's comment:

Thanks for the nice words accorded to Mang Tani and as his wife i can really say that during his stay in PAGASA he did all the best he can to serve the country and the people. there was no instance that i can remeber that he complained of his work and for that we his family is very proud of MANG TANI. We thank all the people who appreciated what he has done for the country.

Mang Tani's comment:

Maraming salamat Princess sa mga magagandang salita na iyong pinapatungkol sa akin. Nais ko ring pasalamatan ang lahat ng mga taong kumikilala sa mga naging gawain ko bilang isang simpleng kawani ng ating pamahalaan. Nais ko lamang samantalahin ang pagkakataong ito na sana ay maunawan ako ng iba nating kababayan sa aking naging desisyon. Ako po ay nagpasiyang umalis ng ating bansa hindi dahil lamang para sa sarili kong kapakanan kung hindi mas higit kong isinaalang alang ang aking pamilya. Matagal po akong naglingkod sa ating mga kababayan at kayo ang mga saksi. At dumating sa punto ng aking buhay ang gumawa ng hakbang ni hindi madali sa isang katulad ko na nagsisilbi sa bayan. Hindi natin alam kung ano ang kahihinatnan ng ating buhay subalit iisa lamang ang ating minimithi. Mas magandang kinabukasan para sa mga mahal natin sa buhay. Ang aking paglayo ay hindi nangangahulugan na tuluyan ko ng kalilimutan ang ating lupang tinubuan. Huwag po kayong mag alala kahit ako’y malayo na ay patuloy pa rin tayong magsisikap na makatulong sa ating mga kababayan lalong lalo na sa aking tanggapan, ang PAGASA. At sa mga taong nag aalala na wala ng sa ating bansa ang isang Mang Tani, umasa kayo na marami pang Mang Tani na darating at magbibigay sa inyo ng inpormasyon sa paraang inyong mauunawaan. Hindi pababayaan ang ating Inang Bayan.

Muli isang taus pusong pasasalamat sa inyong lahat.

life is risk-taking which makes it worth-living.

As promised, I will blog about my UP journey! :)

i woke up at exactly 3:39 AM. aga no? hindi kasi ako pinagamit ng computer nung friday ng gabi so maaga na lang ako gumising. so yun, ang ginawa ko ay nag-update ng mga accounts tsaka na nag-blog tungkol sa saloobin ko sa pagre-relieve kay dr. prisco nilo. After non, mga 6, naisipan kong i-search sa twitter search box yung keyword na “UPCAT” and obviously, madaming lumabas. pero nung makita ko na may nag-tweet na heavy daw yung traffic sa philcoa na better pa daw na maglakad, agad na akong nag-ayos ng sarili ko. buti nga at maaga akong nagprepare kasi kung hindi, wala pala akong kanin na kakainin. XD mga 7, after kong maligo at kumain, i left our house na. i arrived at the taft MRT station at 9 AM tapos i arrived sa north ave. ng mga 10. so i still got 2 hours to buy my snacks and eat my lunch. unfortunately, ang daming BATA sa SM north edsa. pa`no ba naman, fieldtrip ng dalawang private school at isang public school. SOBRANG HASSLE. sumabay pa talaga sa UPCAT day. hahaha. pero the good thing is that, i saw kirk long with his father (i guess) and some kids na less fortunate siguro. they were all wearing ateneo jerseys. maybe pinapasyal niya yung mga kids. nakakatuwa talaga. mas lalo ko tuloy na-appreciate si kirk long. hindi lang siya magaling sa basketball and studies, may heart pa for kids! :”> then i bought something to eat sa hypermarket then i went to mcdo. i decided to buy a burger na lang since 11 na non. the i rode a UP ikot jeepney. we pass through agham road. grabe, it was my first time to know na heart pala ng government agencies ang quezon city! Nandun lahat ng mga bureau. Astig. :) oh yes! i saw PAGASA. it was quite a sad and happy moment knowing all the past things that happen to the agency. :( mga 11:30 AM, nakarating na ako sa plaridel hall. konti pa lang yung tao kaya i stroll muna. nakarating nga ako ng solair, and nagmasid-masid ako kasi baka makita ko si yhel esturas. (crappykid) pero sa sobrang dami ng tao dun, hindi ko siya nakita o baka wala pa siya nun. `yun nga palang classmate ko na ka-building at ka-time ko, hindi ko rin nakita. maybe nasa may ibang part siya ng mass comm. building at tsaka ba hindi siya ganung kaaga dumating. it really feels good na nakapasok ako at nalakaran ko ang minsang pinasukan at nilakaran nina ramon bautista, jessica soho, tina panganiban-perez at kara david. dun pa lang, masaya na ako. sa phil star room yung testing room namin. i didn`t expect na air-conditioned pala yung room eh, i was in flipflops lang kaya nalamigan yung paa ko. i literally had cold feet. our examiner explained the rules then naitanong niya rin kung sino daw yung nag-apply ng course na mass comm. and I think i`m the only one who raised a hand. ganon? ako lang talaga out of 50? hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. hihi. Then we started the test. language proficiency was easy. `yun nga lang dahil nakalimutan kong may time pressure, i haven`t answered the last 10 questions sa language proficiency. NALUNGKOT AKO DUN kasi madali lang yun and kayang-kaya ko yung answer-an pero kapos lang talaga sa oras. :( science was hard and so with math. they were purely wild guesses. i haven`t left a blank that time. actually, yung scratch paper ko nga, hindi ko masyadong nagamit. hihihi. then before we took the reading comprehension test, our examiner ask us to stand up, step forward, turn to our right side and pinamasahe sa`min yung likod ng seatmate namin tapos sa left seatmate naman namin. we were all laughing tapos sabi nung examiner, “o, ang mga UP students, hindi nahihiya!” then after that umupo na kami tsaka binigyan kami ng konting time na kumain at mag-CR tapos she discussed yung mga scholarship na ino-offer ng UP tsaka yung tuition fees. Pag daw yung annual income ng parents ay 1M and above, 1,500/unit. Meron ding 700/unit, 500/unit and 300/unit. depende sa class na belong ka. after that, we continued the test. reading comprehension was also easy. siguro mga 5:20 PM natapos yung test. it was kinda akward nga kasi pagkatapos ng test di ba ii-instruct kung pa`no i-arrange yung scratch paper, answer sheet at test permit, eh akin yung napili so nakita ng buong batch ko yung picture ko. ang awkward nung feeling na hinawakan at ginawang example ng isang UP professor yung gamit mo. hahahaha. ang babaw ko. paglabas ko ng mass comm. building, ang lakas ng ulan. bad trip kasi i haven`t brought jacket or umbrella kaya nabasa ako. nung pasakay na ako ng jeep, medyo nadulas pa ako kasi nga basa. sa harap ako sumakay tas tinanong ni manong driver kung ayos lang ako, i just smiled. hahaha! nakakahiya. bumaba ako sa may mrt station and still, madami akong slight-dulas moments pero everything went well naman. I took off sa cubao station then sa lrt naman ako sumakay at buamaba sa pureza. there, I walk hanggang marating ko ang bus station. mga 8 na ko dumating ng alabang and 9 na ako nakarating sa bahay. mukha akong basang sisiw at feeling ko ang dumi ko na. so far, hindi naman ako nagkasakit. ang saya talaga ng UP experience na yun. sayang lang at hindi ko nasiliyan yung oblation dahil sa ulan. how I hope, makapasa ako pero kung hindi ako palarin, ok lang. noon pa man, tinanggap ko na yung possibility na first and last visit ko na yun sa UP. :) so ngayon, hinihintay ko na lang yung resulta. hay, 5 months pa. pwede ba ngayon na agad para hindi na ako kabahan pa ng matagal? hahaha.

i miss you, christopher antonio.

2010-08-01T07:38:00.000+08:00

hello! nabuhayan na naman ako kaya naka-blog na ulit. ang dami ko na namang hindi na-kwento sa iyo. mm.. umpisahan na natin dun sa results ng unit tests, ayus lang naman. magre-retake kami sa math. pero, over-all, maganda naman. sa school, ang currently kinaa-adikan naming mag-seatmates eh yung scrabble. medyo hustler na nga ako, eh. :) tapos meron pala kaming play next week, one day before the UPCAT. :> good luck sa`min!

nagcelebrate pala kami ng nutrition month nung friday. bago yun, we had mass. i really prayed hard para sa guidance sa 7. then yun, we party sa classroom. kainan lang and picturan. early dismissal kaya masaya. ang problema lang sa`kin, ang ewan ko. na-mimiss ko kai MTS pag may okasyon. lalo na 4th year na ako. sobrang dami ko ng na-miss at marami pang ma-mimiss sa future. gusto kong mag-outreach, sumama sa field trip nila, at mag-retreat sa tagaste. :( hayy. nakaka-miss.

nung isang araw pala, napanaginipan ko na naman sina RA at ramon bautista. hindi ko nga alam kung bakit lagi silang magkasama sa dreams ko, eh. =)) they went daw sa bahay after nilang mag-brewrats.

RA: "tao po. tita?"
*tinigil ni mommy ang paghuhugas ng plato*
mommy: "henna, may bisita ka."
henna: "sino po yun?"
*lumabas ako ng bahay, binuksan ang gate*
henna: "o, kayo pala. RA rivera, you`re such a jerk!"
*ramon and RA were laughing tapos pumasok na si RA*
henna: "sir ramon, i need an A, can you help me? "
*pumasok na rin siya habang tumatawa*

*yung "RA rivera, you`re such a jerk" at "sir ramon, can you give me an A" ay mga salitang pinapasabi sa mga caller ng brewrats na nasa pa-next age na. (18y.o. and above)

nag-usap usap daw kami ng kung anu-ano then they left. pagkabalik nila after 1 hour, nagulat daw ako kasi may dala silang mga cougars. (na parang kapitbahay namin pero hindi naman.) may dala pa ngang mga cake yung 2 babae na yun eh. tapos, inabot ni ramon sakin yung cake, sabi ko "hindi, ok lang. ikaw lang, ayos na sa`kin." bad trip kasi hindi niya narining yung cheesy line na yun kasi may kausap siya. XD

tapos nagising na yata ako or nakalimutan ko na yung mga kasunod na nangyari. haha.

one week na lang at UPCAT na! i`m ecstatic, excited, pressured and nervous at the same time. sana talaga maging maayos yung exam ko at sana hindi ako ma-late. actually 7am nga ako aalis ng bahay para sure. :> good luck sa lahat ng mag-UUPCAT! :) nga pala, may ginawa akong letter para sa sarili ko na na-post ko na sa tumblr:

Dear Self,
You have come to the last week of your wait for the UPCAT. I know that there are many butterflies residing in your stomach right now and they will only evacuate after you have taken the entrance test (though you should not expect all of them to leave because you still have to wait for the results in about 6 months.) Come to think of it, you have been living your UPCAT dream for almost a year already. From the reviews, choices of course (that you carefully picked), accomplishing of forms and requirements — it has not been a smooth ride for you. But through God`s greatness, here you are, putting your two hands close together, and in a span of roughly seven days, everything will pay off. Breathe in and out. You are about to compete with the nerds from UPIS, Ateneo High School, La Salle, San Beda and a lot more. Whether they are from public or private school, as long as they have the brains, they have great chances in going through UP. Well, let`s see, you`re quite good in english and science and worst in math. Basically, your answers would come from wild guesses. (especially in algrebraic expression-questions) But make sure to make the best out of it. You have asked enough advice from Ramon Bautista and he said that you should practice shading the Os real quick. You have asked your cousin who`s an UPCAT 2004 passer and she said that you should review and pray hard.
May the Lord bless you and I wish you the best of luck.
♥

ITS TITA CORY`S FIRST DEATH ANNIVERSARY TODAY.

let us offer her a prayer. :)

i think that`s all. i`ll blog next yung UPCAT journey ko. hopefully. :))

PS. yesterday was the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola (ADMU`s patron saint) and last july 15 wa chris tiu`s 25th birthday. i forgot. well, belated happy birthday chris♥! :D

I AM SAAD. D:

2010-07-17T15:10:00.004+08:00

madami pa akong dapat gawin kaya`t i-cocopy paste ko na lang yung dalawang post ko sa tumblr at dadagdagan ko ng ilan pang bagay na hindi ko pa nababanggit dun. unahin na natin yung unang talo ng la salle against NU. oo, hindi talaga kapani-paniwala. tie na sila ng ateneo pagdating sa talo! mamaya pala, game ng UP! manonood ako. :) pero bago yun, tatapusin ko muna homeworks ko at mag-rereview din ako para sa unit tests namin next week. saayaa. half-day! pero yun nga lang, sasakit na naman ulo ko. :(

Noong nakaraang araw, nanalasa si bagyong basyang. Hindi ko inakala na ganun kalakas ang hangin. Parang gustong matanggal ng mga bubong. Mga bandang 1 am, nagising ako sa sobrang ingay na dulot ng malakas na buga ng hangin. Mula nun, hindi na ko nakabalik sa mahimbing kong tulog. Nagdasal ako na sana tumigil na yung malakas na bugso ng hangin sapagkat talagang nakakatakot. Bukod pa dun, gusto ko na ring matulog ng maayos. Narinig naman ang aking panalangin. Tumigil na ang bagyo. Pero hindi pa man din nakakalipas ang isang oras, umulan na naman at humangin ng pagka-lakas lakas. Hindi na naman ako nakatulog kaagad. Pero siguro, dahil alam kong suspendido ang klase kinaumagahan (napanood ko sa saksi) eh, nanghinayang na rin ako sa masasayang na oras kaya natulog na din ako. Pagka-gising ko nung umaga, laking pasalamat ko dahil wala na si basyang. Siyempre, nag-iwan siya ng matitinding kalat at mga natumbang puno. Wala ring tubig at kuryente. Haaayyy. Nilinis ko agad yung mga kalat na dahon sa bakuran namin. Mga 10 am, dumating na si daddy. Instead kasi na 1:30 am siya aalis ng Malaysia, na-delay at naging 5:30 am na re-schedule. Buong araw, wala akong ginawa kundi matulog. Akala ko nga hindi na magkakaroon ng kuryente pero buti na lang at nagkakuryente bago mag-brewrats. :) pero hassle pa rin kasi bigla akong nagkaroon ng tsunami (oo, may namuong masamang panahon sa katawan ko.) eh, wala pa nun na tubig. :(( hindi muna ako natulog kasi hinintay ko pa na magkaroon ng tubig. And guess what, 12 am na nagkatubig. Parang nabunutan ako ng tinik nung mga oras na yun. Buti nga kahit 1:30 am na ko natulog, eh maaga pa rin akong nagising para mag-prepare for school.

<p>&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;This page requires a higher version browser&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;</p>

Alam naman natin na kaakibat ng salitang bagyo ang PAGASA. Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration – ang ahensyang namamahala sa mga weather disturbances at meteorological things. Tuesday ng gabi, tumutok ako sa 24 oras para ma-monitor yung bagyo. Siyempre, inaasahan kong si mang tani yung mag-rereport kahit na alam kong matagal-tagal ko na siyang hindi nakikitang na-iinterview. Pero FAIL. Ibang weather forecaster yung nag-report. Medyo inasahan kong ganun yung mangyayari kasi nung Monday, sinearch ko sa search bar ng twitter ang pangalan na nathaniel cruz. Ang masaklap dito, isa lang ang lumabas at ang sabi nung nag-tweet eh, naka-vacation leave daw si mang tani pero BAKA HINDI NA BUMALIK. I felt really sad nung nabasa ko yun, pero inisip ko na ok na rin siguro yun para makapagpahinga siya. Pero nung Wednesday, I heard sa news na NAGPUNTA NA NG AUSTRALIA SI MANG TANI AT YUNG ASAWA NIYA and it broke my heart BIG TIME. Natulala ako at nalungkot kasi I expected na nandito lang siya sa pilipinas. Further on the interview, sabi ni dr. prisco nilo na nung may pa pala nag-VL si mang tani. Tapos kaya pala unti-unting nawawala yung mga professional weather forecasters ng PAGASA eh kasi kung sa ibang bansa mahina na yung P100,000 na sweldo, dito sa ating bansa, nasa P20,000 lang daw. kung sana mataas lang yung salary, di na sana kailangan ni mr. nathaniel cruz mangibang-bayan. Oo nga pala, natanggap na daw yata siya sa meteorology bureau sa autralia. Kung inyong babalikan ang project: facts machine ko, mababasa niyo na super fan niya ko. Sa katunayan nga, isa siya sa nag-inspire sa`kin na maging journalist. Oo. Noon pa man, pangarap kong ma-interview siya tsaka si Pres. Noynoy Aquino (na noo`y senador pa lang.) Ngayon, malabo ng makita ko siya ulit. Siguro, si Pnoy, may pag-asa pang makapanayam ko basta`t makapag-trabaho agad ako after college graduation. :) anyway, bigla tuloy akong nanghinayang kasi nung grade 6 kami, pinili kong panoorin yung live show ni gerald santos kaysa dun sa fieldtrip namin sa PAGASA at avilon zoo. Kung sana sumama ako nun, eh di siguro nakita ko siya. Yun nga lang, hindi ko pa siya kilala nun. Sa pagkaka-alam ko, 2^nd year ako nung naging fan niya. Pano na kaya? D: mang tani left me depressed. Pwede po bang bumalik ka na lang? TT__TT and speaking of PAGASA, nasermonan ni Pnoy ang ahensya. Pano ba naman daw, late na yung anunsyo ng PAGASA na matinding masasalanta ang Metro Manila. Dagdag pa diyan yung mga taong nagrereklamo sa parehong dahilan. I beg to disagree sa kanila. PAGASA did their best to give us enough information about the typhoon. They don`t deserve to hear that. Sabihin nating late, pero considering naman na low-tech ang mga equipment na gamit nila, mag-eexpect pa ba tayo ng mataas? And another thing, sino bang nagsabing kayang i-predict ng 100% ang mga mangyayari sa panahon? Kaya nga it`s called forecasting, di ba? Naawa tuloy ako nung parang biglang naging inferior ang feeling ng PAGASA to the point na walang gustong magpa-interview. :( sana, next time wala na akong marinig na complaints against them.

kagabi pala, napanaginipan ko si mang tani. oo, main character siya. it started daw sa school. hindi ko nga alam kung bakit parang nag-iba yata yung structure ng school namin. @-| then, sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan, nagkaroon daw yung PAGASA sa school. tapos yung 4th year daw yung in charge sa pagkain. tapos ayun, yung isang teacher namin yung nagsalita ng blahblah. basta nakalimutan ko na yung sinabi niya, eh. pinakilala niya yata yung mga pagkain. then after that, nagsalita daw si mang tani dun sa classroom namin. sabi ko nga, after nung speech niya, lalapitan ko siya kaagad para maka-usap siya at makapag-pa autograph. pero bigla daw siyang umalis na agad. hinabol pa nga namin ni CL eh. tapos bigla kaming napunta sa ATC. we were looking gor him nga eh. HAHAHA! pano kami napunta sa ATC? :? pero fail. hindi namin siya nakita. pagbalik namin sa classroom, bumalik din daw si mang tani. naiwan niya daw kasi yung wallet niya. then ako daw yung nagbigay. tapos, nag-usap kami. nagpa-picture pa nga daw ako tsaka nagpa-autograph. basta madami kaming pinag-usapan dun sa science laboratory ng MTS (yung dati kong school) then he was interested daw sa mga bagay na nandun. siyempre, science-related! pinaglalaruan pa nga namin yung human torso. hahahaha. pero ito siguro yung pinaka-gusto kong part:

henna: alam niyo po ba, you were one of my inspiration. you`re the reason why i chose broadcast communication. kasi i really wanted to have an interview with you pero tingin ko it would be impossible na kasi you`re leaving.

then he smiled at me and hugged me.

nakalimutan ko na yata yung ibang nangyari. siya, iwan ko na muna kayo! bye. :3

PS: mamimiss ko `to:

hello sa lahat!

sorry unang-una sa blog ko na si christopher antonio, sapagkat parang ang sama-sama ko. i abandoned you ng matagal. :( hihihi. mas madali kasi magpost sa tumblr kaya nandun halos ng updates tungkol sa sarili ko, sa mga pangyayari. ayun. :D

kahapon yung opening ng UAAP. nakaka-excite. siguro kasi last season, eh hindi ako nagpaka-enthusiastic na manood. buti nga nag back-to-back ateneo! :> sana nga mag-3peat eh kaso mukhang mahihirapan sila kasi madaming rookies. minus pa sila jai, rabeh and nonoy. yung ibang university din naman, puro rookies din. kaya good luck na lang sa lahat! lalo na sa UP at ateneo. sige na. bias ako ngayon. :Ps, si eric salamat pala yung team captain ng admu. ang galing ko kasi parang na-premonate ko yun dati. balikan niyo na lang yung post ko last year! hahaha.

tapos tungkol naman sa school, nag news reporting kami nung thursday and it was just ok. tapos may ilang quizzes. ayun lang. wala namang something important na nangyari. nag-CAT din pala kami ng friday and this time, mas serious na.

26 days na lang pala at UPCAT na! o siya, kakain na muna ko ng almusal tapos, magrereview na!~

P.Noy and V.Nay`s inauguration

2010-06-30T16:23:00.000+08:00

today is a very special day for filipinos. this marks the start of CHANGE! let us always put in mind that we should not just wait for something to happen. dapat pati tayo, mag-cocooperate kasi di ba, we only have one goal naman? so, yun lang. i hope that our newly-elected president and vice-president would set as good examples para sa atin.

on the other side of life, gusto ko lang ibalita na naibigay na sa`min nung monday yung test permit for the UPCAT. i was assigned sa masscomm building on august 7, 2010 @ 12:30 noon. sabi ko nga sa tumblr ko, dream come true yun! perfect sa kung ano man yung hiningi ko. and another thing, i used na naman tumblr ask para sa ilang tanong ko kay ramon bautista. this time, diretso na niyang sinagot dun. humingi kasi ako ng advice. sabi niya mag-practice lang daw ako mag-shade ng O na mabilis kasi nga may time. ang awkward nga kasi dun sa plural thingy. whattheheck. natawa na lang ako habang binabasa ko yun. okay. i`ll leave the web muna so that i can review kahit konti. bye!

random weekday happenings

2010-06-26T14:26:00.001+08:00

hello weekend! :)

this week was very exhausting. :| first week kong mag back to school and my classmates were surprised na dun pa rin ako. (even yung adviser na nag-iisang natira sa faculty ng high school.) siyempre, at first adjust muna. madami na din kasing na-missed na lessons so kailangan talagang mag catch-up. we have new teachers sa physics, TLE, history, filipino, values, trigo. yung sa physics and trigo na teacher namin was an engineer who stayed sa UAE for 5 years. he`s very good. galing niyang magturo plus ang bait pa. naka-lighten up nga sa stress yung sinabi niya sa`kin kahapong dismissal, eh. “happy weekend!” *sabay smile* he`s in his 50`s na yata. then yung teacher namin sa TLE ay babae. yun lang. ang hina ng boses tsaka hindi siya gaanong nag-discuss. lastly, sa values and filipino naman is matagal na rin teacher sa school pero ngayon lang namin naging teacher. english and MAPEH teacher namin yung adviser namin. :)

i have new classmates din pala. 4 sila. yung isa, naging classmates namin nung 2nd year na lumipat sa perpetual nung 3rd year. then 2 babae at isang lalaki na ang pangalan ay errol pero he prefers to be called jugs. OO. PWEDE KAMING MAG-SHOWTIME SA LOOB NG CLASSROOM. meron kaming vice ganda, vhong navarro, at jugs. yung iba, undecided pa. WTH.

yesterday was the last day of filing ng UPCAT forms. we were really busy yesterday kasi inayos namin yung mga requirements. pa`no ba naman, nung thursday lang nabigay yung form. pagkauwi ko nung thursday, diretso na agad ako ng southmall para sa 2x2. buti mabilis lang makuha yung picture kasi konti lang yung tao. nakakapanibago nga rin kasi SM was empty. puro students lang. :) 8 pm na ko nakauwi. buti naabutan ko pa brewrats. =)) about sa form, i consulted my mom sa course. sabi niya, gusto niya ng nursing. pero sabi niya it`s up to me na. pero may halong pagbabanta si mommy. “ok lang ba kung ma-aasign ka sa mga delikadong lugar? mga bratatatatat. like basilan?” HAHAHA. mass comm-related courses kasi pinili ko. here are my choices:

FIRST CHOICE

CAMPUS: UP Diliman

COURSE: Broadcast Communication

Film

SECOND CHOICE

CAMPUS: UP Los Baños

COURSE: Communication Arts

Development Communication

sabi nga nung mga classmates ko, puro communication daw. sabi ko naman, gusto kong matutong makipag-communicate, eh. LOL. yung sa grades ko from 1st year-3rd year was quite well. hindi lang ako makapaniwalang 98 yung highest possibles grade namin. WTH. eh, per quarter may cut-off kaya grades namin so, for me, it`s quite unfair. lalo na pag first quarter! 88% lang yung highest possible grade, eh! hay. idk. kaya nga magtotodo review ako para mabawi ko sa results ng test yung possible grade. :) tsaka ayun pala, siguro by monday hopefully, mabigay na yung test permit and dahil pinili naming lahat ang UP diliman for the test center. sana sa mass comm building. =))

i feel so blessed na may chance akong mag-UPCAT kasi i thought, hindi na ko magte-take, eh. kaya no matter what happens, ok na rin. not everyboday has the chance to take this test. DREAM KO ITO, EH. :))

WALA, EH. EXCITED AND PRESSURED AT THE SAME TIME. :D

kita naman, di ba? new layout for my baby bloggie. :> (i miss calling my blog baby bloggie, btw. XD) i think napag-iwanan na ng panahon blog ko kaya nagawa kong mag-tweak ng HTMLs kahapon. :)) doesn`t it look nice? hehe. i have nothing much to say. gusto ko lang i-blog yung napaka-gandang panaginip na akala ko totoo. well, for the 4th time, i think, napanaginipan ko si ramon bautista. nag-umpisa yung panaginip ko sa showtime. hahahaha. hindi ko nga rin alam kung bakit ako yung guest judge nila. wth. so the show flowed out well hanggang dumating sa last performers and when i was about to give them the score na, napansin ko na yung keypad na pipindutin to give score eh, sira. i really don`t know what happened to it. as in nagkabali-baligtad yung mga numbers so i wasn`t able to give them the score. nung commerial break daw, the staffs asked me to write the score sa index card. then, dun daw sa backstage, si ramon bautista yung nag-cocompute ng scores. tapos nakita niya ko then tinanong niya name ko. sinulat ko naman yung name ko dun sa index card. sabi ni ramon, "he-nna?" i answered yes. then ito ang naging dialogue namin:

ramon: "do i know you?"
henna: "yes? i`m the one who sent you a message on tumblr. i said there that my birthday is on the 13th. you greeted me nga sa brewrats, eh."
ramon: "do you know me?"
henna: "YES! i super-duper crush you." (tapos ay ine-spread ko ang dalawang kamay ko. wth.)
ramon: *smiling* "are you still schooling?"
henna: "yes. i`m just 16."
ramon: "aah."

(so hindi rin ako makapaniwalang we were talking in english. XD)

then yun, siya yung nag-announce nung winners. after the show, hindi ko alam kung paano kami napunta sa isang malaking bukid sa china. tapos, biglang nandun din si RA rivera. HAHAHA. =)) then ramon and i talked about the kids we saw. they`re playing and fighting tas sabi ko, "paglaki niyan, tatawanan lang nila yan." and then he nodded and agreed. tapos sabi ko, "i am going to swim na." then sumunod sila ni RA sa`kin. and then nagulat ulit ako kasi yung pagsi-swimmingan ko pala, eh yung pool sa bahay ng cousin ko. pagdating namin sa swimming pool, nakita namin na makalat sa gilid so nilinis muna namin. then nagbihis na ko ng swimming outfit at.. bigla akong nagising. tinry ko ulit bumalik sa mahimbing kong tulog but ayaw na. medyo na-sad ako pero naisip ko na lucky pa rin ako. :D ka-GV, eh. how about you?

i almost forgot, it was fredriek`s birthday yesterday. i greeted him sa facebook. if you`re wondering who`s fred, siya yung ini-stalk ko sa facebook thrice a week. WTH. =))))))))))) basta, yun na yun. happy birthday na! :P

PS.

mga reporters ng GMA, nagrereply sa tweets at comment ko. wooooow. parang tinatawag na nila ako sa GMA-NAPA. =))

june is just around the corner.

2010-05-28T14:34:00.001+08:00

hello! sa wakas, i can blog the past happenings in my life. hehe. exactly one week ago, ate poleng and i had a movie date in ATC. sa wakas, natuloy na! mga 2pm, after we bought the tickets, we strolled muna and then bumili kami ng something to eat. we talked about school. family, friends and love. (past na nga yun, eh. :P) she asked me about any college plans pero dun ko lang nalaman na sobrang dami kong plans na hindi sure. ayun, syempre, hindi lang naman ako ang nagpaplano kung di yung parents ko din. :) sabi niya nanghinayang siya kasi hindi siya naka-take ng UPCAT and UST entrance test kasi hindi siya nakaplano ng maaga.medyo napressured tuloy akong gumawa ng concrete plans. haha. then sabi niya, hindi rin ganung nakakatulong yung reviews. stock knowledge lang. then after that talk, nanood na kami ng here comes the bride. medyo late na nga kami naka-enter ng cinema then yung reserved seat namin sa gitna so hassle. :| the movie was ok-ok lang. pinka-gusto ko yung arte ni angelica panganiban. PAK! hehe.yung story nun, nagkapalit-palit ng katauhan yung mga main characters dun dahil sa eclipse and magnetic factors. and kung may best cameo role man, si kuya kim na yun! sa tulong ng kanyang trivias, naibalik din sila sa mga respective bodies nila. :) after the movie, naghiwalay na kami kasi she has something to do pa. i mean she has a gethering to attend pa so umuwi na rin ako. kapagod. deds ako pagdating. ang aga ko nakatulog. haha.

oo nga pala, i forgot. nandito na pala si daddy ko from china. share! haha. wala namang sobrang daming pasalubong. binigyan niya kami ng dove chocolates na lasang raspberry.hindi ko type masyado kasi black chocolate siya. tapos sunflower seeds din. yum.

and another thing, nung thursday pala was ramon bautista`s birthday. i`ve greeted him sa twitter, facebook and tumblr. at naka-dalawang reply pa siya sa akin! :))

then birthday naman ni mommy nung 22. we stayed here lang sa bahay then we had a mini celebration. tas kinagabihan was fame flores` performance on PGT. she did well sa kanyang classical song na kinanta. :> unfortunately, nung sunday, yung results night. fame got the second highest pero still she didn`t made it. iba yung pinili ng judges for the second spot. :(

hayy. dami na palang nangyari sa isang linggo. ang lapit na naman mag-june. another year sa school. pero di bale, next year .. maiiba na ang environment. hihibrr.

PS. eviction day na bukas sa showtime. sigurado ng matatanggal si tado and si prescilla nanganganib na rin matanggal. yeay! galing ng mga brewsters! suporTADO talaga. :> nga pala, one month mawawala si dj angel. kasal kasi ng cousin niya sa US. :( tagal namaaaan. D:

my personal views on tado-vice ganda friction

2010-05-25T03:31:00.008+08:00

i was just about to blog about the interesting things that happened to me last week but since a big bomb exploded yesterday, i`m going to talk about that instead. i didn`t know tado jimenez would be the next judge of showtime. then yun, umpisa pa lang, tinira na agad ni vice si tado."akala ko pa naman gwapo." then the contest proper flowed. then suddenly, when tado was about to give comments on the performance of the second group, vice once again, interrupted. watch this:

this is immaturity. i know vice is just trying to defend the "gays" but did he/she ever heard what tado said. in the first place, tado didn`t said anything against gays. he just used the term "parang pang-gay." to emphasize that the group`s name lahi ng matatapang isn`t suitable because they`re attitude was like malamya. he was not referring to anybody except for the preformers.all of a sudden, vice ganda gave her/his powerful speech. so to make everything lighter, tado showed his statement shirt, then vice`s mouth had a full blast once again.vice ganda NEVER let tado explain. so because the staffs were gesturing both of them to calm down, tado just shut his mouth.(that`s what he said sa brewrats kanina.) then the next contestants performed so the judges did their part. vice ganda, on the other hand, was still talking bad things about tado. tado never reacted. he showed his trabaho-lang-walang-personalan attitude. and i really liked what tado did. hindi naman pinag-explain ni vice si tado tungkol dun sa shirt, basta tumira agad siya. well as tado explains it, ang ibig sabihin nun ay mas mabuti ng magnakaw kesa paglaruan ang feeling ng mga bakla. ang pamamakla kasi eh yung paggamit mo sa isang bakla dahil lang sa pera. parang niloloko mo lang siya. you just love that gay because you can get something from him/her. and that`s bad. tado is just promoting true love with each other at hindi panggagamit. nakakainis din kasi binaggit pa ni vice yung "kaya ka natalo thing." kesyo daw maraming tumakbong bakla, pero nanalo hindi katulad ni tado.FYI, malamang na hindi naman alam ni vice kung ano ang mga plata-aksyon ni tado. tado have good intentions for his fellow constituents.

vice took it personally. eh, ano nga naman bang magagawa ng ibang tao sa kung anong gusto niyang sabihin? she/he leads and take over the show naman palagi. siguro, madami ngang nakakagusto sa kanya because nakakapagpatawa siya pero yung ginagawa niya, it`s hurting the feeling of others din. kung manlait siya akala mo, perfect. madami na siyang nasaktan, sa totoo lang. hindi lang makabuwelta yung kabilang panig kasi takot sila sa kung ano pang pwedeng sabihin ni vice. may i suggest na palitan na ang title ng show at ang tagline kasi habang tumatagal, hindi na bumabagay. palitan niyo na rin yung theme song cause it doesn`t fit either. "it`s Showtime!" araw-araw mo pa man ding kinakanta, pero hindi mo naabsorb. this is YOUR SHOW, this is YOUR TIME. pero sa pinapakita mo, it`s like this show is all about you. when you hear something against sa paniniwala mo, binabara mo na agad.sabi nga ng isang brewster .."kung si tado nga, sinabihan niya ng pangit but tado never had hard feelings about what vice said. does it mean only GAYS deserve the respect and normal humans like tado can`t be respected?"

sana next time, think before you over-act. remember, a simple mistake can cause a lot of damage.maraming nanood sa`yo.maraming bata ang nakakita sa bad conduct na pinakita mo like starting up a major discussion which isn`t related to the show itself. napasaya mo ako for almost one month, pero kay tado pa rin ako. pag mahal mo talaga ang isang tao, solid ka, til the end. go lang tado! don`t feel down. siguro your kids have been affected pero i hope they`re doing fine. :> it`s time to hold back my laughter for your silly jokes, vice. sorry.

PS. nagustuhan ko yung sinabi ni eljohn (the blind brewster) kanina sa brewrats.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

2010-05-17T14:31:00.003+08:00

i`m the biggest major failure.

habang umaandar ang oras, mas lalo akong nawawalan ng self-esteem. feeling ko wala na akong nagawang tama at parang hindi na ako makakagawa nun. hayy. pwede bang huminga muna ng malalim? sobrang tagal ko ng hindi nakakapagpost dito kasi medyo tinatamad talaga ako eh. pasensya na kung mas naibubuhos ko oras ko sa tumblr. D: sabi ko sa`yo eh. wala ako. LOSER. sheez.

last week, hindi ko tinantanan yung news simula start hanggang finish ng eleskyon coverage ng GMA. ewan ko ba pero excited talaga ko nun. excited lang siguro ko sa pagbabago. ayun. mas napabilis yung labas ng results pero andun pa rin yung karahasan, vote buying, flying voters at palitan ng akusasyon. sa totoo lang, hanga ako kay villar kasi siya yung unang nagconcede ng bukal sa puso niya. alam naman nating sobra ang girian nila ni noynoy. yung iba ring nag-concede, masaya ko kasi hindi niyo pa pinalaki yung gulo. :D samantala, ang ilan naman na nagrereklamo, ipakita niyo na lang ang mga ebidensya for further investigation. siyempre, kung alin naman yung totoo, dun papanig ang tao. and then sa COMELEC, i`m hoping na sa susunod, mas maging smooth ang flow ng elections. pero sa kabuuan, ok lang naman. :D feeling ko, mas naging credible at kapanipaniwala ang nangyaring halalan. congrats pala sa mga naiproclaim na. sana gawin niyo kung ano yung designated works niyo. at dun sa ilang hindi pa naipoproklama,good luck na lang. si sen. aquino ang leading for president samantalang si mayor binay naman sa vice president nga pala, unfortunately, hindi nag succeed si tado. gayun pa man, ok lang yun. :D nga pala, yung mga BEIs, media, COMELEC officials at sundalo at kapulisan na naging part ng election 2010, humahanga ako sa inyo. :) lalo na si jiggy manicad who reported straight from maguindanao. (siyempre, idol ko.) :D

alam mo ba, sobrang problemado ko ngayong mga nakaraang araw. sobraaaa. wish ko sana maayos na `tong mga irregularities na ito kasi ewan ko ba. ang sama ng pakiramdam ko lagi eh. kakaisip.ko. alam ko God`s there naman lagi. wooh. kaya ko ito. :D

SAMANTHA MIKAELA.♥

she`s so adorable di ba? siyempre, mana sa mom and dad niya. smart and talkative daw siya sabi ng mama niya. :> sana lumaki na siya kaagad. hehe. i wonder. if she got the genes of her mom and dad, would she ba a news anchor or a director? :D aww. sammy, you made me happy. :">

PS. sa mga nagcocomment about GMA 7`s hologram thingy. oo nga, hindi ganung ka perfect. but still, hindi naman dun binebase kung gano kagaling ang isang team. at least, they tried their best to prove that they are flexible enough to use certain materials to improve their craft.

MOM : My Outstanding Mentor

2010-05-08T17:39:00.000+08:00

this post is dedicated to my ever loving mommy. :> umpisahan ko na sa sorry. hehe. sorry po sa lahat ng ginawa kong mali. yeah. i`ve been a really, really bad girl. i promise to make up sa lahat ng yun. D: next.. thanks you po! thanks sa lahat-lahat. THANK YOUs aren`t enough para mapaantayan lahat ng ginawa niyo for us. from our very first breathe up until now. thanks for always staying by our side. :) i may not always be expressive pero sana maintindihan niyo na ganun talaga ako. XD sana po we`ll live happy togerher, forever. :)

i know, darating ang time, magiging MOM din ako. i will feel and experience all of this. wish ko lang, sana maging kasing strong ako ng mom ko. she fought everything. as in EVERYTHING. and know what was her worst monster she fought? breast cancer. she survived it. oha. wala kayo nun! :P hehe. she`s may have been quite incomplete right now pero that doesn`t hinder her na gawin pa rin ang lahat ng nakasanayan niya ng nagawin. =))

siguro, dahil naiinherit ang cancer, baka magkaroon din ako nun. pero sana hindi. pero kung ganun man ang mangyari, sana malampasan ko rin. :)

LOVE YOU MOMMY! you`re really My Outstanding Mentor. :">

isabela trip (december 2006)

sobrang tagal ko ng hindi nagpopost dito. tamad na tamad kasi ako masyado. sa tumblr ko na nga lang nasusulat lahat ng gusto ko sabihin para isang website na lang ang pupuntahan. anyway, wala din naman ata akong alam na pwedeng ikuwento. halos pare-pareho lang yung ginagawa ko araw-araw. nakakamiss na ngang bumiyahe na malayo. nakaka-miss yung old times. hehe. kahit sana ilang days lang. :(

wala na talagang magawa? hahaha. ang cute kaya ng story. :)) and daming nakakarelate excluding me! XD

SYPNOSIS:

First Time is the story of Cyndi (Barbie) and Lukas (Joshua), teenagers who met one summer at the beach. Their newfound friendship is immediately put to the test after Lukas’ mother dies from a mysterious accident, which resulted in Jaime (Eric Quizon), a famous balladeer and Lukas’ father, decision to live abroad. Cyndi and Lukas, albeit unwillingly, said their goodbyes.

Two years later, Lukas returns to the Philippines and enrolls in the same school as Cyndi’s. For a while, they try to rekindle their friendship only for Cyndi to find out that the Lukas from that memorable summer is no longer there. Lukas, once a cheerful and fun-loving boy, has grown to become so quiet, and detached from everyone including Cyndi.

In the long run, with the help of Cyndi and her best friend Baste (Jhake), Lukas will come to terms with tragedies in his life. All three of them become inseparable — even Lukas and Baste, who have little in common besides sharing a love for Cyndi — spending most of their time at Baste’s, whose lowly family finds happiness in music.

But their friendship will face another challenge when a deep and dark secret buried beneath the past unfolds, one that will question their real identities. Could they have something more in common than they imagined? How will this bitter conflict affect their homes, their lives, and their young hearts?

Also in the cast are former StarStruck Kids avenger Bea Binene as Natalie, the school’s liberated Queen Bee; Jhoana Marie Tan as Sara, the over-achieving teacher’s pet; Mark Castillo as Daniel, the homophobic school jock; and Lucho Ayala as Jimbo, the domineering campus heartthrob.

Equally important are the roles of the more experienced actors and actresses in the cast including Eric Quizon, Ian Veneracion, Manilyn Reynes, Romnick Sarmienta, Ana Capri, Bayani Agbayani, Cris Vallenueva, Angel Jacob and Sheila Marie Rodriguez who will play mother/father roles in the story, whileAlicia Mayer, Joross Gamboa, Michelle Madrigal, Roxanne Barcelo, Ricci Chan and Mel Kimura portray teachers.

First Time takes on issues teenagers face today. It provides an open and honest exploration of what really goes on within and beyond the four walls of the classroom, and treats such issues with openness, honesty and depth.

that's all for now. keep you updated pag natuloy yung pinaplano kong date with ate poleng. :>

SHARE! :D

2010-04-22T09:03:00.000+08:00

feeling ko sobrang tagal ko ng nag-update dito sa blog ko. ewan ko ba pero medyo tinatamad talaga kasi ako these past days. normal na buhay lang. paulit-ulit, araw-araw. pero masaya talaga kaysa kung may pasok.

nakalimutan ko ngang maibahagi yung past awesome experiences ko, eh. last, last sunday, nag-mass kami and guess what? si father francis (of the brewrats) ang assigned priest. so i was very attentive the whole time. lucky ko nga kasi nakapag-bless ako sa kanya. =)) sana nga nagbigay ako ng note for the RATs. then nung wednesday, last week, nakapunta na rin ako sa wakas kila ina. kwentuhan to the max as usual tas dumating din si gelo. sayaaaa. :D then nag school hunt din ako. tinry ko pa ngang fill-up an yung UPCAT registration form. haha. try lang naman. =)) ang pinili ko na courses ay ... broadcast communication, english studies at computer science. lahat, hindi pa sure. siguro ang tanging sure lang dun eh yung branch. except na lang kung ayaw ni mommy sa los baños.

grabe. nagulat talaga ako nung nakita ko si mary joy sa dalawang show sa GMA nitong nakaraang araw. haha. schoolmate ko pala siya, first year sa pasukan. kasama ko rin siya sa school publication. haha.wala lang naman. nagulat lang ako. tumataas na ang level niya. sinundan niya ang yapak ni rache mae. HAHA.

sila ina pala, nasa cebu ngayon. nag-update nga siya sa twitter eh. :> nga pala, baka may 7 kami magdedate ni ate poleng. :) nun palang 19, 18th birthday ni kuya. yun. kami-kami lang. :P

summer boredom

2010-04-09T08:56:00.001+08:00

Bored na bored na ba kayo ngayong summer? Meron akong ilang tips to get through SUMMER 2010.

maglaro sa inyong Nintendo DS o PSP.

Actually yan nga yung ginagawa ko. Pinaglalaruan ko yung DS ng kapatid ko kahit paulit-ulit ko ng nalaro yung mga tracks ng diddy kong racing nay un. XD

Maglaro ng plants vs. zombies

Tapusin mo na ang game na ito bago maluma. Kawawa ka naman pag hindi ka makalampas sa level 5-2. XD

i-update ang iyong twitter, facebook o tumblr.

Masayang magpalipas ng oras sa mga nasabing social networking sites. Malay mo, biglang magreply sa tweet mo ang isang celebrity o di naman kaya`y i-accept na ang friend request mo (yung tipong 87941168233 years mo hinintay yung confirmation), and lastly, baka replyan na yung itinanong mo sa isang tao sa tumblr ask or probably, i-like o i-reblog ng mga kilalang tao sa tumblr ang isa sa mga posts mo. ;)

Magbasa ng libro.

kung gusto mo ng adventure, bakit hindi mo subukang magbasa ng isang libro. Kahit 100 pages lang. para naman at least, may natutuhan ka kahit bakasyon. Ako nga, gusto kong bilin yung nakita ko sa national bokkstore. Yung Para kay B. :))

Kumain ka ng bigas

Weird ba? Grabe. Adik na ko sa bigas. Bago ako magsaing, hindi pwedeng hindi ko gawing chips ang bigas. Ang bango kasi tas ang sarap pa. hahaha.

Maglaro ng gameboard

Ilabas ang inyong inaalikabok na gameboard at laruin ito. Siguradong mag-eenjoy kayo ng mga kapatid niyo. Malamang sigawan mo pa siya ng “madaya!” pag natalo ka. (ako yata yun.)

Pumunta sa bahay ng kaibigan niyo

Ina, pupunta ako diyan next week. Pramis! :)

Magswimming

Normal lang na magtampisaw ka pag summer. Masarap sa pakiramdam kasi el niño pa naman. Wag lang kalimutang maglagay ng sunblock 30 minutes before lumusong sa dagat o sa swimming pool.

He has set us his message of love

2010-04-05T06:09:00.000+08:00

Hello guys. Holy week had been holy indeed. Unahin ko ng ikuwento ang mga semana santa activities namin. Nung holy Monday, nakinig kami ng brewrats. Guest nila si father francis. Ohmyy. What a coincidence! Nung palm Sunday kasi, siya yung nag-mass. Actually, i`m not really sure kung si father francis yun kasi never ko pa naman yun nakikita. Basta narinig ko lang na francis yung name niya. Eh sabi niya dati sa brewrats, nagmamass daw siya sa San Isidro Labrador eh. Hehehe. Anyway, ayun, they talked about the things related to religion specially yung mga ginagawa tuwing mahal na araw. Alam mo ba dahil kay fr. Francis, nalaman kong sa rome, may pasok kahit holy week. Tas sa

spain

naman, parang hindi na gaanong apektado ng Christianity. Hello! Sa rome, kung nas`an si pope benedict the xi, ganun ang nangyayari? Sa

spain

kung saan nag-umpisa ang kristyanismo ng Pilipino? Suggest nga ni ramon bautista, next time dawn a makipag-conference si father francis sa mga taga-rome, i-suggest niya na gawing center of christianism ang

Philippines

. Para kasing tayo na lang ang devoted sa mga religious things eh. Before the show ended, father said na ang message ng holy week is sacrifice. Holy Wednesday naman, we watched cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Ganda kaya ng story pati yung theme song. :) minsan kasi ganun talaga ang tao, hindi vocal sa nararamdaman nila kaya akala ng iba, wala silang pakialam. Pero sino ba naming magulang ang hindi nakaka-appreciate sa anak nila, di ba? Tas nung Maundy Thursday night, nagrosary kami. Nung Good Friday, nanood kami ng siete palabras then nagrosary din kami bago matulog. Nung Saturday, nanood naman kami ng alice in wonderland at kung anu-anong pelikula sa TV. Nagustuhan ko yung indie film na “gulong” yung title. :> then, yeay~ easter Sunday na! nagsimba kami ng maaga. Nakita ko nga yung dati kong kaklase na si Margaret. :D

Gusto ko rin palang ikuwento sa inyo yung airport experience ko. Sabihin mo ng mababaw talaga ako. Haha. First time ko kasing makapasok sa airport. Eh, kasi sa ilang biyahe na ni daddy, hindi naman naming siya hinahatid o sinusundo kada alis at uwi niya eh. Eh yun, nung Tuesday, naisipan nilang sumama kami kaya ayun, napasama kami. Nung pagdating pa lang naming dun, nakita ko na kaagad yung OB van ng GMA at ABS-CBN. Nagwonder tuloy ako .. nag-uusap kaya yang mga yan while the waiting for their turn to report? Haha. Then mga 7, nagdinner kami dun sa jollibee and I therefore conclude na ang mga manok sa airport ay lumilipad. Haha. Kumakain kasi ako tapos biglang nung tnatanggal ko yun crispy skin ng chicken, nahulog. Same thing happened to my sister. Haha. Mga 7:20, umuwi na rin kami. Pag uwi naming, sumakay kami sa coaster. Nakatabi ko yung isang foreigner. I`m not sure pero I think he`s Russian. Napaisip tuloy ako bakit pinipili ng mga foreigner ang pilipinas, eh meron naming second and first world countries. Pagkadating sa bahay, nakinig agad ako ng brewrats. Nagulat ako kasi nadun sit ado. Guest kasi siya dahil bring-a-friend tueday! ;)

PS. sana mabili ko na yung Para kay B. :)

Naaawa ako sa kanya. Sobra ka naman kasi magtrabaho. Feeling ko tuloy nung nakita kita kahapon, nung nag eye-to-eye tayo, ang tamlay mo. D:

achvmnts atbp. :D

2010-03-26T06:18:00.003+08:00

feeling ko magiging medyo mahaba ang babasahin mo ngayon. HAHA. masyado lang talaga akong natutuwa sa mga pangyayari. =))

padaanan natin yung friday.may nasaktan at may natuwa.meron din palang nahirapan at yun si ina. nagawa niya na kasi yung evil plan.siyempre, katulad ng ibang bagay na nag-eexist sa mundong ibabaw, may good and bad effects.pero buti nga, mabilis lang yung resolution. hay. salamat naman at ok na. :))

tuesday ngayong week. nagpunta ako kila ina and unexpectedly, nakasalubong ko sina sean, leanna aira, etc.then nung dumating ako kila ina, naabutan ko sa gate nila sina ren, kenneth at brian.pagkatapos nilang uminom, eh umalis na rin sila. pagkaalis nila, inilabas ni ina si gelo. haha. nagtatago pala si gelo sa loob ng bahay nila ina. haha. tawa ako ng tawa. after 58798165922 years, nagkita at nagkausap na naman kami.wait lang, may bigla akong naalala. bago pala umalis sila ren, bigla niyang nabanggit na childhood sweethearts daw kami ni gelo. haha. natawa na lang ako. hindi ko alam na nandun din pala si gelo. ayun, nag-usap kami ni ina tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay.tas narealize namin na may sense na yung mga pinag-uusapan namain. HAHAHA.

saturday last week. family day ng MTS.nagpunta kami nila mommy at tita jackie. ayun. nakita ko na naman mga former classmates ko. nakausap ko ulit sila. nakasama ko sila alyssa (puro SNSD pinag-usapan namin), shairah (na napilit kong magpicture kami), jaztin (na first time akong binati at nakipag-apir sa`kin) at daple (na halos kasing-liit ko). nabati ko din ng happy bday sa personal si clint tas batian to the max sa mga taga-third year. =))

nung sunday, umalis kami ng maaga para magsimba then maaga ako umuwi habang pumunta ng festival ang rest of the family. birhday kasi ng classmate ko. :) saya naman. nanood kami ng horror pero maaga rin akong umuwi. sa sobrang pagod ko nga, hindi ko namalayang dumating na sila mommy. nakatulog pala ako sa sofa habang nanonood ng TV. nakabukas yung pinto tsaka sarado yung ilaw tas umaandar yung TV nung dumating sila. haha. grabe talaga.

hayy.saya naman kasi buong week walang pasok. =)) namiss kong magbaksyon! tas ang sayaa ng buhay. HAHA.

lastly, kahapon recognition namin. i`ve received best in filipino, 5th honor tas 3rd place for scrabble (doubles). unfair nga kasi sa lahat ng sumali sa speechfest, ako lang hindi binigyan ng medal sa extomporaneous speech. :( sabi ko nga, forget it. ano ba naman yun. at least i know in myself na kaya kong gawin yun. medal lang naman yun. BITTER KO. XD salamat talaga. kasi umabot na sa dulo ng school year. parang hindi pa nga ako makapaniwala eh. :P

nga pala, congrats kay joby. sabi na nga ba eh. gold siya. :> tsaka early congratulations din kay ina & gilly at sa ibang pupunta ng recognition mamaya. :) merit ka pa rin sana. :))

and i`ve got to share this to all of you. sobrang na-flatter talaga ako kasi first time in my tumblr history na makaabot sa 45 notes yung pinost ko! WOOT! :D pano nga ba yun nangyari? ito. kagabi, while i was back reading, i`ve seen somebody reblogged my watching saabmarine =)) post. nagulat ako kasi hindi ko naman follower yung nagreblog. i don`t even know who`s him so tiningnan ko. pagkatingin ko, sobra akong na-shock kasi ni-rblog niya pala yun from RA RIVERA! whaaaat? si RA, ni-reblog yung post ko? AWW. sobra na yun. hehe. then hindi lang yun! kasi nung tiningnan ko kung sino pa yung naglike at nagreblog, nakita ko si saab magalona! WTH. akala ko nanaginip lang ako. pero siya pala yung mas naunang nagreblog kesa kay RA. siguro tinumblr search niya yun kaya niya nakita post ko. i felt so honored about it.:">

PS. 47 notes na pala! haha. ito yung link: watching saabmarine. =))

PPS. nae-LSS na ko sa chu ng f(x). haha. cute pari ni krystal. :>

PPPS. wala na si tado sa brewrats sa mga susunod na linggo.and what`s even worst is kung saka-sakaling manalo siya, every other day na lang siguro siya sa brewrats. :( ok lang, basta para sa bansa. :))

VOTE TADO FOR COUNCILOR! (1st district ng marikina. :))

heto nang pinakahihintay natin! :D

2010-03-19T17:15:00.002+08:00

TAPOS NA ANG SCHOOL YEAR! =)) sobrang nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng matapos ko ang huling inexam namin kanina na MAPEH. nga pala, naging ok lang naman yung mga sagot ko sa exams. nakapagreview kahit papaano kasi hindi rin ako nakapakinig ng brewrats dahil wala naman din si dj ramon. XD sobrang dugo ng exams kasi buong book yung coverage pero ayus na rin kasi tapos na lahat ng paghihirap namin. ang sarap tumalon ng tumalon kasi 4th year na kami. HAHA. sana matapos na rin recognition para wala na talagang affair na aattendan sa school. X3 nga pala, nung isang araw ko lang nalaman na top 3 pala ako nung 3rd quarter. :> hindi ko pa alam kung ano rank ko. basta sa recognition na yun. :P

ohmyy. i can`t really believe that i survived another year in school. at hindi pa rin gaanong nagsisink in sa`kin na isang year na lang at college na ako. :D

teka lang. ano pa ba dapat kong ikuwento? wala na ata. malamang nalimot ko na o kaya wala lang talagang gaanong nangyari sa week na ito. HAHA.o, basta ngayon prom nila ina. actually, turn over yun. parang grad ball. :))

nakakatuwa. gusto kong makita si ina na naka-gown. and another thing .. ano na nga bang balak niya sa ~~evil plan~~ na yun? kakalimutan na nga lang ba yun at itatago o sasabihin niya ngayong gabi. good luck. kaya mo yan! kagabi pala, naka-chat ko si ate poleng sa facebook. ayun.happy ako. :D YEAY.

bukas naman, makikita ko na ulit ang mga na-miss kong kaibigan. oh-yess! family day na nila. sana makausap ko sila nu? miss ko na sila eh. SOBRAAAA. :|

last thing na gusto kong i-discuss sa blog post na ito. pansin ko lang, ang dami kong nakikitang nagiging over-rated na masyado.

1. FAME FLORES.- there`s nothing wrong about fame flores naman. medyo hindi ko lang nagugustuhan yung mga pangyayari na nasaksihan ko these past few days.last sunday kasi, while nagsiswitch kami ng channel, nalipat kami sa channel 2. pilipinas got talent that time. nagulat na alng ako nung makita ko si fame flores. namangha ako kasi naisip ko, bakit kailangan niya pang mag-audition eh sikat naman na siya? yun nga lang kasi, sa theater lang.anyway, pagtingin ko sa FB niya, bigalng nagulat ako kasi 2,000+ na agad friends niya. @-) tas may nakita pa akong something. gumawa si michaela louise garzon ng official fan page ni geraldine "fame" flores! as in, aprubado yun ni fame at ng bf ni fame.ganun na sila ka-close. idk. inggit ata ako kasi fan din ako ni fame then ganun.. let`s forget it na lang. nakaka-inis lang kasing isipin na ganun. dapat nga hindi ako magbebecome a fan kasi bitter ako sa kanya pero naging fan din ako matapos mag-iwan ng fan page request si brad libanan (bf ni fame) sa fb ko. nagulat nga rin ako, eh. how supportive of him. =))

2. SNSD - ohmygaaash. SUPER NA TALAGA ANG SNSD FEVER. nakaka-ewan nga pala talaga yung feeling nu. pag nauna kang naging fan ng isang tao. parang feeling mo gaya-gaya na yung iba and stuff. i really don`t know bakit ganun.

sige, next time na lang kitang babalitaan ha? ;)

PS. i hate to say this pero last week na ni tado sa brewrats next week.kailangan niya ng mangampanya. di bale tado, suporTADO ka namin. kahit 16 pa lang ako at hindi ako nakatira sa marikina, ibooto kita! =))

oh summer, i couldn`t wait for you any longer.

Wala naman masyadong pangyayari for the past two weeks kasi pirmahan lang naman ng clearance. Na-accomplish ko naman na yung mga requirements. So far, so good. Grabe. Wala talaga ako makuwento kasi dalawang linggo na kaming hindi masyadong nagkaklase kasi tapos na rin naman sa lessons and sa mga projects na lang kami nagfofocus. So, that`s it. Pressured ako last week and last, last week dahil sa projects. Ayus naman na ngayon. Sa Thursday and Friday yung exams namin. Kailangang double time sa review kaso hindi ko kayang bitiwan ang brewrats. Waah! Ang gulo ng utak ko. XD di bale, next week, wala ng pasok! Woot! Recognition na sa 25. good luck sa akin. :D

Let`s leave that na. punta na tayo sa evil plans ni ina riana nikita alberto de guzman. Hay. Last week ko pa gustong i-blog to kaso hindi nga ako naka-OL. Kaya ngayon ko na lang ibabalita. Sabi ko na nga ba, tama ang kutob ko. Tama ang hula ko. Tssk. Dalaga na nga si ina. Wahaha. Basta yun na yun. Kung ano ang pagkakaintindi niyo sa dalaga. Hala. Basta hirap mag-explain. Kayo na bahalang humusga. XD na-confirm ko lang yung evil plan nay un kanina sa YM. Naabutan kong OL si ina. Basta ina, kung ano decisions mo for that evil plan, good luck na lang. :> good luck din sa turn-over. Na-imagine ko na yung gown na isusuot mo. Conservative yung type. Hehe.

Nga pala, dahil matagal nawala ang presensya ko sa world wide web, nung pagkabukas ko pa lang ng browser, agad ko ng pinuntahan yung tumblr ni ramon bautista. Tawa ako ng tawa sa mga sagot niya dun sa mga questions. Pero wag ka, may sense lahat ng sinasabi niya. Idol talaga. And .. speaking of ramon bautista, binati niya pala ako ng “Hello Henna Rose Geronimo” sa brewrats kagabi. E di abot-tenga na naman ngiti ko. XD babaw ko nu? Pasensya na. ganun talaga, pag-in love. Nagiging corny. XD wala lang naman yun. Nagpost lang siya ng stat sa fan page ng brewrats then nagcomment ako. Hindi ko na naman yun inexpect. Whahaha. Tama na nga. O, siya. Bye na for now.

Summer, I wish you were here. :)

GOOD VIBES - GOOD VIBES ! LIKE! LIKE! LIKE! =))

Hello! Haha. Late na naman ako nakapost. Inantok kasi ako ng bonggang-bongga kagabi. Hindi na nga rin ako nakanood ng bubble gang, eh. So ayun, kwento ko ulit yung mga nagyari ngayong week. Umpisahan natin sa Sunday. So yeah, hindi ako nakdonate ng blood kasi underweight daw. Sobrang nakakalungkot nga kasi pinaghandaan ko yun, tas malalaman kung kulang pa ko ng 8lbs! D: naka fill-up na nga ako eh kaso wala, eh. Ganun talaga ang life. Nakita ko rin pala sa church si daple. Feeling ko nga, mas matagkad na siya sa’kin ngayon. Haha. Nung Monday naman, as usual, school lang. may 2 teachers kaming hindi pumasok. Idk bakit sila absent. Umiglip na lang ako sa arm chair ko habang walang klase. =)) that night, nag-umpisa ako sa project sa English. Pero sa classmate ko yun. Sira daw kasi computer nil, kaya ok, ako na gumawa, 12 na ko nakatulog. Tuesday naman, gumawa ulit ako ng project sa English, pero this time, mine na. :D my back kinda hurt like hell for sitting in front of the computer for like 896751563 hours. Jk. 3 hours lang naman. Hehe. Buti na lang at nakisama sa pagka-copy paste ko sa wikipedia ng mga American authors ang ube flavor sorbets ice cream. Wednesday, I accomplished another project for my classmate. Book report sa Filipino yun. Tinulungan ko na kasi alam kong kailangan niya ng help ko. 11 naman ako nakatulog. Thurday, ginawa ko naman yung book report ko. Mabilis ko naman natapos. Btw, a mango shake unite together with me kaya ang lamig ng ulo ko. Friday, hmmnn.. I went to ina`s house. We talked about stuffs then kumopya ako ng kanta ng owl city. :)) 7 na kami ng sis ko nakauwi. Haha. Sa school pala, that day, my seatmates and I talked about college. Excited na kami. Haha. The whole week was quite perfect. GV-GV lang kahit stressful. Haha. I have listened to brewrats the whole week! Saya talaga. Yun lang naman. Hihibrrr. :P

this photo was from ramon bautista`s tumblr. yeah. i reblogged and like this already but i still want to post it here in my blog. first time kong makita si ramon bautista sa commercial ng nescafe and nacornyhan talaga ko sa kanya nun. pero ngayon, iba na nararamdaman ko towards him. yeah. ikr. you knew it already. =)) anyway, kakamiss si francis m and his music. definitely one of the sounds that i grew up with. as long as i live, i promise to sing along along with it! :D

PS. death anniversary pala ni francis magalona ngayon. yeah. it`s been a year. D:

mabenta ang salitang BV sa buong linggo ko.

2010-02-27T11:06:00.000+08:00

WTH. super BV ng whole week ko. nung monday, walang pasok. obvious naman. nakapag blog nga ako, eh. :P nung tuesday, pumasok ako. practice lang the whole day para sa foundation. actually, hindi ako masyado nakapractice kasi nahatak ako sa grade 5. tinuruan ko sila ng fire. ayun.woah. choreographer na pala ako. HAHA. nung wednesday, start ng foundation mass nung umaga. tas bago matapos yung mass, inannounce ni father na merong blood letting this sunday sa church. and the time i heard that, nagplano na agad akong magdodonate ako! pangarap ko yun. promise. :> then nung hapon, sportsfest ng mga kids then continuation ng games ng high school at intermediate level. nung thursday, nagperform kami ng callisthenics at hiphop dance ng umaga tas nagsiuwian ang lahat nung tanghali habang ako, naglakad sa ilalim ng matinding sikat ng araw papuntang school. pagdating ko sa classroom, maglulunch na sana ako kaso panis na pala pagkain ko kaya kumain na lang ako ng tirang tinapay ko nung recess. at dahil naka-PE kami nung umaga, nagpalit ako ng school uniorm para sa speech fest sa hapon. pagdating ko sa CR, nabasa yung medyas at sapatos ko kasi ang daming tubig sa sahig. UGGH. pumunta ulit ako sa classroom para magpatuyo habang nagpapahinga. so ayun, as what i`ve said in my previous post, mag-eextemporaneous speech ako. yung nabunot kong topic is about waste segregation. everything work turned out well naman. pero pansin ko lang, i`ve used some words too often. :| haha. i ended up first place. not bad na rin. na-conquer ko pa stage fright ko plus idagdag mo pa yung takot mo sa harap ng rude critics mo sa school. OHA. grabe yung experience na yun. nung uwian naman, hindi ako sinundo ng service kaya naglakad ako pauwi. nung pagdating ko sa bahay ng mga 6:30, sobrang pagod at gutom na ako kaya, bonggang kain ako. after nun, nakinig ako ng brewrats habang nakahiga. then nakatulog na akong bigla. kainis nga kasi yung medyo umpisa lang naabutan ko. yung about dun sa renaissance. actually, hindi na nga rin ako nakapagdinner eh. haay. ngayong week, wala akong natapos ni-isang episode ng brewrats. titingin na lang ako sa blog ni ronnotthedj. :)))) kahapon naman, hindi na ako pumasok kasi coronation night lang naman. nung hapon, as usual, pumunta ako kila ina. =)) hayy. ang haba na ata nito. hehe. sige yun na lang. :)

pwede rin palang magbago ang mga concrete decisions. :)

2010-02-22T15:31:00.001+08:00

woah.monday na monday, nagbablog ako. kakapanibago lang. hehe. wala kasi masyado magawa. hindi ko pa maumpisahan yung book report ko sa filipino kasi hindi ko pa nakukuha sa teacher ko yung macarthur. hay. sayang oras. so, ito na muna ako. magbablog habang iritableng-iritable sa init ng panahon. el niño, lubayan mo muna kami. :|

where shall i move?

HAHA. yan yung blog post ko dati tungkol sa mga pinagpipilian kong university. ayun, bale ito yung edited version nun. pano ba naman kasi ang daming factors na nakakaapekto sa pagpili ng school eh. :D may mga ilang changes ako. :)

kumbaga sa karera, naunahan na ni university of the philippines si ateneo de manila university. HAHAHA. ewan ko ba. gusto ko na talagang mag-UPCAT. UP los baños tsaka diliman yung pipiliin ko sa branch ng UP tas BS english course. WTH. mamaya hindi matuloy `tong mga pinagsasabi ko kasi nagpapaplano na agad ako. patay tayo diyan. =)) basta yun na yun. sana makapag-UPCAT ako tsaka sana makapasa ako kung matutuloy. mahal ko na masyado ang UP. si ramon at si jiggy kasi, ang lakaaaas ng hatak. tinalo pa si chris tiu at jai reyes. WOAH. :) [tag team ng isang professor from diliman at news anchor from los baños VS. dalawang basketball player ng blue eagles.] ~~MISMATCH DAAAAW.~~ :P yung FEU, andun pa rin, pati rin yung other schools except sa la salle dasma. ayaw ko dun.pwede rin pala sa lyceum cavite. :) oh siya, kung saan ako dalhin ng tadhana, susunod na lang ako. matagal pa naman yun. 1 taon pa. madami pang mangyayari. (:

after 123456789 years, napakinggan ko na naman si CRUSH. yihee. :"> nakakamiss si gerald santos. nung isang araw kasi, naisipan kong magsearch ng mga videos niya during PPS days. and i found close to where you are. yung kinanta niya nung finals. guess what, nagbalik ang pagkainlove ko sa boses niya. uhmm.. feeling ko, nagmature na talaga siya. hindi na kasi kasing level ng voice niya nun yung voice niya ngayon eh. hindi na rin ako masaydong die hard fan. pero still fan pa rin ako. :)) kanina, naisipan kong patugtugin yung mga nakolekta kong albums niya noon. haay. :D

naisipan kong magpakahardcore sa plants vs. zombies.gusto ko rin kasing makita yung michael jackson na zombie. =)) pero FAIL. tinamad din ako afterwards tsaka wala rin namang lumabas na MJ zombie. haha. tinuloy ko lang naman yang saved game ni kuya. ayus.

i dwell in my day dreams. :>

2010-02-19T23:14:00.003+08:00

this week has been a normal, smooth flowing perhaps. monday .. hmmnn.. ano nga bang meron nung monday? hala. wala ata ako matandaan. :| sensya lang. ulyanin na ata ako. basta gising, pasok sa school, uwi, gamit ng computer, kinig ng brewrats, tulog. yun ang daily routine ko. =)) then nung tuesday, nagreview ako kahit papaaano kasi the following day, monthly exam na namin. actually, hindi ako naka-concentrate sa review ko dahil madaming distractions (brewrats, first time, 24 oras) oo. tama yun. :D kaya nung wednesday ng madaling araw ako bumawi kahit konti. :)) ayus naman din kasi dirediretso lang yung pag-answer ko sa test paper. maagang natapos yung exam kaya maaga rin dismissal. eh kaso lang 12pm na ko nagpasundo kaya nagscrabble na lang kaming magkaklase. simula last week, nung nag-umpisa yung sportsfest, adik na kaming magkakaklase sa scrabble. basta may vacant lang na oras. nakaww. ibibilog namin yung upuan at mag-uumpisa na ang laban. =)) HAHA. wednesday ng gabi, as usual, hindi ulit ako nakareview. may american idol, first time, 24 oras at brewrats tsaka pala internet. alam mo na kung anong tawag sa kanila! PANIRA, EPAL, DISTRACTION, ~~DESTRUCTION.~~ haha. hindi naman destruction nu. inspiration ko kaya yang mga panira na yan. X3 marinig ko lang boses ng RATS, kumpleto na gabi ko. =)) thursday, last day ng tests, buena mano ang TLE. buti medyo madali siya unlike the previous tests. chem and history were like quizzes. konting items lang kasi. kaya medyo less hassle. oks na oks na pagkatapos nun. scrabble na lang ulit habang naghihintay sa service. :P pag-uwi ko sa bahay, nagcomputer ako tas biglang dumating yung 3 classmates ko. nagcut na kami ng kanta para sa presentation namin sa foundation day. waaaah. ang gulo ~~nila.~~ namin pala. XD ang tindi nga niyan kasi next wed. na yung sayaw ipeperform pero hanggang ngayon, wala pang ni-isang step na naturo. hidni ko pa sure kung sa monday may practice. sana wala. :))) kung sa tuesday naman kasi, bale pagkakasyahin naming ipractice ang aerobics (sa umaga ng foundation; practical test na rin sa MAPEH), hiphop sa gabing part then the following day, speech fest naman kaya may speech choir sila. kaming tatlo nila sharla at patty, hindi na sasali sa speech choir kasi meron kaming ibang sasalihan. ako, extemporaneous tas oration si sharla then declamation si patty. hayy. hectic ng sched namain. WTH. :| haggard ang labas nito. :(

anyways, kanina pala, championship na nung scrabble. my partner and i end up in the 3rd place. ok na rin. :))

TUMBLR POSTS PORTION : mga tumblr posts na magandang ipost sa blog ko. :D

wala na palang MTV pilipinas. idk why. and related to that, may nakita akong post sa tumblr na nakakasad. :( :

“Video killed the radio star”… that’s what all of us 20, 30, 40 sumthin folks or better known as Generation X, are hummin’ at this very moment as the curtains begin to close on you, MTV Philippines. In approximately 10 hours, a dear friend will bid farewell to its world and mine.

The news came as a shock to me to say the least. I never imagined that such a household name and industry leader could be taken down from its spot. We all know you had lived easy and some, less than easy days. You had your fair share of struggles, moving from one home to another. There was Channel 23, Studio 23, IBC 13, Channel 41 that served as your temporary sanctuary, but you were still comfortably kept within the realm of Philippine television. You had always survived, one way or another.

Call me emo, but hey, I’m depressed man! It’s like watching a brother slowly pass upon his death bed, and I lie powerless to revive or resuscitate. MTV Philippines, you played a vital role in my semi-charmed life and I will tell you why.

I marked every crossroad, every feat and memory, good or bad, of each and every day of my post-puberty life with a song, along with your music videos. From the day I first went out on a date in ‘92 to the day I ended my last serious relationship, Nirvana, TLC, Pearl Jam… the great living and dead were at my side, serenading…comforting reminding me…that “Im just a teenage dirtbag baby”

I have vivid memories of days when I woke up watching Chumbawumba’s “Thubthumping” after my worst college hangover. I remember the day I danced along with Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” video when I got my first job… and met awesome new colleagues that introduced me to Jaggermeister. I had my fair share of wild nights out in town, and certain “memorable” nights with Maxwell and Shaggy as my witness. Even after I turned 30, I still ran to you for refuge. Believe it or not when I lived in a suitcase flying from province to province, I kept you on before I slept to ward off my fear of dingy haunted hotels.

Another reason why I want my MTV Philippines – you filtered “other” Asian mixes and played only what I liked (and understood). I didn’t have to sit through some odd foreign video just to see Parokya ni Edgar or Francis M. Finally, I didn’t have to switch channels. It was a huge relief, or so I thought.

They say it’s gonna be pretty much the same. They say nothing is really lost as far as visibility to the trends in music and entertainment are concerned. They say this because your big brother MTV Asia will still exist, blah blah…But I will say this – it will never be the same without you.

MTV Philippines, you did not only give birth to the true blue pinoy playlist, you also opened your doors to the country’s finest VJs, confident, witty, talented willing and able bodied beautiful people who knew how to ENTERTAIN and REPRESENT the nation. People I look up to ‘til this day.

We both saw Ramon Bautista make it big through his crazy and candid 5 minute segments. Such a bright young fella. Sarah Meier blossomed into a fierce TV and runway host. And who can ever forget KC Montero? Your boy did not only master the art of making teenage girls giggle— he also mastered the art of making people of all ages laugh. All these and more…all great achievements, by those who know how to walk the walk and talk the talk—- they all happened under your roof. They made us all proud to be Pinoy.

And so my friend, before they pull the plug, I want to take this time out to say this— it was an honor knowing you MTV Philippines. You were there as I went through the worst and the best, and when I was put through the test you soothed my restless soul. I say this with conviction— no other music channel can mark a memory so well as you did for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

One last thing I am grateful for is this… MTV Philippines, your depart only paved the way for that silver lining in radio. I was a big fan seeing your kids on TV, but now.. since I do spend more time hearing them as they pour their hearts and minds out, I am now a bigger fan. So close your eyes and rest in peace my friend. Find comfort in knowing that your legacy lives on … nowhere else but in the airwaves.

Goodbye my MTV Philippines. It was a good run.

Love, Chrissy

PS - hit me up if you ever decide to rise from the dead.

tas ito na pala yung surprise gift ni ina sakin. sobrang ganda ng poem kaya pinost ko sa tumblr. :)

Chapter 16

Ina Riana Nikita de Guzman

A simple rose that is far from ordinary

is scattering its petals on every 13th of February

As you flip the page and start a new chapter

I give you my greetings as you turn a year older

May I have the moment for a while?

Through this poem, I`ll make your lips and heart smile

We`ll run in reverse and revive the memories

And indulge ourselves in the past

that just seemed like reveries

My fate with you began when we were on 5th Grade

Our unique friendship was then perfectly made

There were the times that we laughed

There were times we cried over the silliest stuff

Together we took roads filled with thorns

But still our hearts lie a pact we have sworn

The odds back then were always against us

But with your hand in mine,

this will all just come and pass

Knowing you was probably the nicest thing made by destiny

Just like the collaboration of a melody and a harmony

We`ll stick together forever like constellations

No matter how distant, we`ll still keep a connection

Thank you for watching the stars with me

You made me believe that there is more to see

I will cherish a promise found deep within my heart

That Henna and Ina will never grow apart

cute no. love talaga ako ni ina at love ko rin siya! :"> yun na muna for now. tune in na lang kasyo sa tumblr ko for updates on me. :D BYE! :)

araw ng mga ♥
