I want to congratulate myself for making the best out of my Christmas break. I went to the senate last week to gather news for our group work in Radio Performance and Production. I was really nervous since I was alone but still, I made it through. I can feel that my dreams are slowly coming to life. I observed the committee hearing on rice smuggling and I saw how Sen. Pangilinan, Sen. Estrada and Sen. Pres. Enrile got irritated with the resource persons. I wasn't able to stay until the third and final reading for RH Bill since I haven't had any sleep yet that day because we attended the Simbang Gabi.
And speaking of Simbang Gabi, I completed it again this year! It was challenging this time since we have to wake up at 3 am to prepare for the 4 am mass everyday. :) Actually, I thought I wouldn't complete the 9 days because I have to go to our HS batch's reunion scheduled on the 23rd.
Together with some of my HS classmates and our adviser, we went to Kalugdan Resort to have a mini-gathering. Despite of the cold weather, we still had fun swimming. We also enjoyed the company of each other since it has been a long time since we last gathered. As always, the bully guys were still bully. But they made the night so alive. Paul Mark brought some of us into the deepest part of the pool. Haha! It was just so funny. Maybe that's the reason why I am suffering from lockjaw right now. I was laughing my heart out last night and unluckily, today, I have to control myself from laughing, yawning, speaking and the worst of all -- eating. Huhuhuhu. But I still hope that my jaws would cooperate later as we have our Noche Buena.

I didn't expect that this sem is going to be this great. I have an awesome set of professors. And perhaps, that alone contributes to the awesomeness of this semester. The excitement that I am feeling is a good release from the past sem which was really traumatic.Oh, well. I need to move on. We all need to continue with our lives because there are more to come. 'Cause if you stuck yourself in that sad part of your life, then you'll never grow and you'll never know what's ahead of you. :)
Prof. Ricky Rosales (the guy wearing eye glasses)
Let me introduce to you my new and good professors. I have Prof. Clarisse for Debate and Argumentation, Prof. Bucks for General Psychology, Prof. Benitez for Basic Economics. Then I also have two favorite professors for this semester -- Prof. Ricky and Prof. Davidson. Why do I like them? Because they are very much likeable. They are two cool professors, who both excel in their respective fields. Sir Ricky is my prof for Radio Production and Performance. He is a news anchor of DZMM. He teaches us a lot of things about radio newscasting. He gives us the preview of what happens in the field. He makes us laugh too! Whenever he speaks, it's as if we are transported to the radio booth. Just recently, there are three 'big events' that we did in his class. First, we had to do news gathering. We were grouped into five and we were assigned in different major and minor beats. Our group was tasked to gather news from the Senate. Second, we had our first quiz. He asked us to make ten stories out of what we have gathered from the field and the news that can be found on the broadsheet that day. I got to finish only three stories since it took time before I fully understood and capsulized what's written on the newspaper. In addition to that, I rewrote my work three times, I think. The time limit that was given to us was just an hour. Upon passing my paper, I felt bad since I wasn't able to finish ten stories. Though my worries vanished when Prof. Ricky handed to us our works last Monday and I saw a whopping 94 on my paper. As what he always tells us, "I am after quality, not quantity." Yay! That was pretty high but still, I must do better next time. Maybe I'll practice writing news for radio this break. We'll see. Third, he made us do live reporting. He made us assume that we are radio reporters who are in the field, doing a report without any written material being read. He also asked us several questions about our report as we speak, just like how it goes in real life. I hope I got a good grade. :) Next to be discussed is our Humaities professor.. Prof. David. He's 23 years old and he's currently taking his MA in Theatre Arts in UP Diliman. As I was stalking his Facebook account, I found out that one of his profs there is Tony Mabesa. Wow! He's a very talkative professor. He discusses lessons well. And almost all of us in his class like him.. or should I remove the 'almost'? :) Most of the girls in our class has a crush on him as well.. including me. Hihi. Well that's because he made us all feel comfortable. He tells a lot of stories, mostly, about his life, his experiences and even his crush. He plays and jokes with us too. We like him very much. We love him very much. :> We meet both of them once a week, during Mondays. That's why I look forward to Mondays. Best day of the week! =)))
By the way, if you happen to have time, you can watch these videos. Here's the funny side of Prof. Davidson:
And his serious side..
My Christmas break started last Tuesday (earlier than expected). Well, thank you to my professors who gave us the privilege to have an early break. It has been productive so far. I'm done reading Tuesdays with Morrie (which made me cry!) and I also got to see The Lucky One already. Maybe I'll read The Last Song next then I'll watch The Road and the new episodes of Detective Conan (I am in love with Shinichi once again.) That'll be it for the meantime. :D
PS. Look at my hair! It's now straight. Yeeeeeeaaay~

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. :>

This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
