Things I learned when school ended...

Hello there graduates of 2015! Are you done printing your resume? Are you preparing for job interviews?

I graduated last 2010. Can’t believe it’s almost 5 years already. I’ve been working for a couple of years and to tell you honestly, I can’t wait for my retirement. haha. Sure it’s fun to receive salary. It’s even more fun if you receive 13th and 14th month pay… but working is really exhausting and sometimes you wish you are a college student again, when everything seems so simpler. 

I must tell you that you only use less than 10% of what you learned when you are already working in a corporate world. Well, unless you are in a medical field, an attorney or any profession that has board exam. To tell you honestly, I don’t or should I say can’t use the things I learned in college in my field. My course and current field is a little bit of mismatch. I am Commerce  major in Information Systems graduate in HR field (payroll).

Anyways, here are the things I learned outside the school that I think they should include:

1) Kissing ass really works. Maybe not all the time, but it will really have an effect in your career. 

2) You must learn how to use Vlookup. Is it just me or am I absent in my computer class that I did not learn it in school? It is very useful to me (maybe just to me).

3) If you think you already encountered different types of people in school, wait till you step in the corporate world. You will meet thieves, whore, ass kissers, drama queens and other types of people in a different level. 

4) Even if you will stay until 4 am, if your boss doesn’t like you, you won’t receive an increase or  a 200 pesos Starbucks gift certificate or even a “Good Job”.

5) Managers are not necessarily the best in their field. I don’t want to elaborare (wink wink)

6) Just find a couple of office mates that you will trust and you will be ok.

There… I spit it out… Just enjoy the unemployed life… because I did… I was unemployed for 1 and a half years… well almost 2… 

But if you want a real advice please read this:  http://thoughtcatalog.com/brianna-wiest/2014/01/18-things-we-should-have-been-taught-as-teenagers/

SO HAPPY GRADUATION BATCH 2015 :)

Wasak Friends

Four years of our friendship is worth of lifetime memories. Each day is worth of idiotic chit chats, futile discussions, insane jokes and thousands of bulakbols will always be in my memory treasure chest. Who have thought that I would gain 2 friends in my school?

We became close because of being non-conformist/anti social/ happy-go-lucky girls. We are always against the norm. That’s why we are the only ones who understand each other. We almost risk our diploma in attempting to go against our influential and powerful chair.

With a bottle of beer we laughed, shouted at each other without any reason, made corny jokes, and sing songs …

We barely have an argument because I believed that we are “soul mates”. God made us so we could make each other happy. You made my college life a staggering experience.

We violated school rules. But who cares we graduated, we made it!

As I write this blog entry… tears wanted to roll down. But I know unlike the other friendships I made, this would go longer than ever and it maybe a cliché but we would be friends forever. I firmly believed on that.

Lisa, to my look a like, you are the sister I always wanted to have. Thank you for the various lessons and values you taught me… some are good but mostly are bad… hahaha but nonetheless it is worth remembering.

Anj, one of the most talented people I know I wanted you to know that I admire you and all things you could do. You don’t have second thoughts helping me in things I could not do. And most of all thank you for financially supporting me… hahaha

Marj, I just wish you will now do your thesis and have the diploma you dreamed of. Always remember that I am praying for you.

To my wasak friends goodbye for now and good luck for tomorrow.

The moment of truth

February 11 (Thursday)

“Ako nayon ay nasa alapaap na”

I don’t know how I will start my story… all I know is I am so thrilled, jubilant, overjoyed, and elated, proud…

I PASSED MY THESIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PARTIDA!!!!!!!!!!
AHOO AHOO!!!!

I GOT 80%... and mataas na talaga to sa amin… coz I think the highest is 86 who is a candidate for suma or magna and ako na ang sumunod!!!

Dun sa defense na yon if I am not mistaken 2 lang ang pumasa…. So overall 4 na ata kaming pumasa sa thesis….

Medyo lumalaki ang ulo ko dahil AKO LANG ANG GUMAWA NG SYSTEM KO… GOD KNOWS THAT…Yung ibang bumagsak nag pagawa lang sila… I mean I’m the type of person who doesn’t have enough self esteem and confidence in things I do. Pero ngayon I’m so proud to myself. And I think I have the right to be proud and to be arrogant because almost all of my classmates have programmers in helping them and doing their thesis. Pero ako… AKO LANG TALAGA… pero when I looked back nung mga first month na ginagawa ko yung previous system ko… wala talaga akong magawa… walang codes na lumalabas sa utak ko…

I don’t really say this pero I REALLY FELT THE PRESENCE OF GOD DURING THIS TOUGH AND CRUCIAL TIMES IN MY LIFE….

A prayer surely will help you all the way.

Thank you God for all the blessings…

GRABEH…

Pero sana tulungan niya pa yung 3 friends ko kasi medyo may mga issues… SANA Sabay sabay kaming grumaduate…

The antagonist

“Maliliit na tao ay walang kalaban laban…”

Bakit may mga taong sadyang ginawa upang maging sagabal sa buhay ng tao? Bakit ba may mga kontrabida? Ano ba ang mapapala nila kung pinahihirapan ka? Bakit may taong natutuwa kapag naghihirap ka?

Hindi ko alam ang sagot… isa lang alam ko… bawat isa sa atin ay may kontrabidang kilala sa buhay nila… Minsan alam natin pero madalas hindi…marahil tayo din ay nagging kontrabaida sa ibang buhay ng tao…

Para sa akinng kontrabida sa buay: “Magtago ka na dambuhala kakampi naming si bathala kung ayaw mo na maniwala sa Diyos mapipinsala…Ahhhh… IKAW AY DAMBUHALA….”

Pero katulad ng isang bida sa isang palabas… sa akin ang huling halakhak… Wahahahaha!!! Akin parin ang happy ending… at ang they live happily ever after….

Unofficial Dean’s List

October 23 (Friday)

“Ako ngayoy lumilipad at ngayon ay nasa langit na gusto mo bang sumama?”
Pampalubag loob. I got my grades. I have 3 A- and a B-. I computed it and I could be in the dean’s list. I’m freaking out!!! It’s every procrastinator’s dream. Actually I have another subject that I will take for 3 days next week. I don’t know if it’s only passed or failed. Its 2 units. So unofficially my QPA is 3.5… Hell yeah… but it’s not yet time to celebrate… my thesis still sucks.

Pero pampalubag loob talaga sooobra. Imagine being stressed out for the first time. Too stressed out. Then you will see your name in the hall because you are included to the list… the list that everybody wanted to be in…

Pero… hindi pa ko sure… that’s the sad part… I’m crossing my fingers…

Depress Mode

October 20 (Tuesday)
“Wag kang matakot na baka magkamali walang mapapala kung mag babakasakali… Lumilipas ang oras baka ka maiwan kung di mo susubukan…”

Ang adik talaga… The worst thing that could happen to a graduating college student doing his/her thesis happened to me. It’s October and our defense is on December and just now our prof rejected our thesis proposal. WTF! We kept on repeating on her what will our thesis would be, she says nothing. So now I’m so ngarag… who wouldn’t be? I need to catch up. As in!!!

First time ata mangyari sa akin ito… I’m so fucking stressed out!! That even in my dreams I’m dreaming about our thesis…. Thesis, thesis, thesis!!!!!

Stupid!!!

“At sa ibang boy ikaw nakipag laro ka ng apoy… ako ay nananaghoy”

My favorite line for today:

While we are at our 6:00-9:00pm class our computers encountered some problem so we decided to use a proxy site because some sites are blocked by the way, and we just opened our facebook. Well we can’t do much because we are not allowed to play or anything. it is still blocked. so we just viewing our friends and their pictures to kill time. lisa opened her facebook and we saw her friend with D. Then…

Me: Is this D the self proclaimed…
Lisa and Me: matalino?!!!
LOL…
hehehe…. I hate people who are self proclaimed matalino… wahaha…

oh by the way we had retreat for 3 days last week. It was fun because I was with Lis, Marj and Anj. we are sharing 2 rooms together. It was really, really fun. Well I’m still having LSS with the song Stupid Luv by Salbakuta. blame my friends for that. hahaha… Kumanta lang kami ng kumanta… hahaha… I will miss those days… hay… sobrang cheesy…

Wake me up when March ends…

“Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you. By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do”

Ilang buwan na lang at ako ay mag-mamarcha na patungo sa ma damong quadrangle ng aming eskwelahan. Makakapunta na sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ang aking tatay sa SSC. Makakasuot na ako ng itim na toga. matatangap ko na ang diplomang aking pinagarap simula ng ako ay uhugin pa. Ang diplomang din yon ang sumisimbola ng aking pag tanda at pag papaalam. Paalam na sa pag-aaral. Paalam na sa mga guro…. Paalam na sa mga kaibigan. Paalam na sa buhay skwela. Paalam na sa pagiging dependent. paalam na sa baon. Paalam na…

Ang diploma ay isang simbolo din ng pagpapasalamat. At salamat sa IYO…

Ang diploma din ang sumisimbolo ng bagong hamon sa aking buhay. Ano nga ba ang aking mararating? makakapunta kaya ako patungo sa aking mga pangarap? mahirap sagutin pero madaling mangarap…

Sana pag gising ko bukas March na…. para tapos na ang mga agam-agam, mga nakakatakot na imahinasyon at pag dududa… Sana bukas pag gising ko ay may hawak na akong diploma…

Wasak ang Cossack!!

July 15 (Wednesday)

“Wala naman kaming napala Wala, Wala, Wala!”

Wednesdays is our “Thesis day” because we don’t have class during that day. So we went to Lisa’s place to do our thesis. But as my opening line says… Wala kamin napala, wala, wala, wala, wala. Uminom lang kami ng vodka cruiser at isang dambuhalang Cossack Vodka. The taste of Cossack reminds me of my medicine for my cough. Mainit sa lalamunan… mainit sa katawan…hahaha…

We bought the drinks at SM supermarket. Yung sa mga liquor area. Ako, si Cindz, Lisa at Marj we went there to buy drinks. Tapos alam naming tatanungin kami ng mga salesman kung 18 na ba kami. Sabi ni Lisa “20 na ko”. Hahaha… sabi nila kaming dalawa ni Cindz yung tiniignan kasi di kami mukhang 18. hehehe…. Ang liit naming eh.

So what a wasak day.

To know wat really happened to us search for the “Alkohol” lyrics by Eraserheads. That’s exactly what happened. hahaha

Ms.Brightside

“Destiny is calling me open up my eager eyes cause I’m Mr. Brightside”

I have a trivia: only 45% of students get excited about going back to school. You know what… I’m included on that 45%. Why? If you ask me if I love to go back to school when I was in elementary, high school or 1st,2nd,3rd year in college I will say “Hell no!” and I will think that the 45% are nerds. But because I am already in 4th year this will be hopefully the last year for me. I am excited to make thesis, defend it to my terror profs, wear toga, and get out of my school. I think the 45% are all graduating students. Haha…

I need your prayers… please pray that I will graduate…

Well you know what, I am praying that I will graduate but I also remember my block mates. I also pray that they will graduate. I know that you know I am only close to 3 or 4 of them but I wish them all the best even we are not the best of friends, even if they always forget to text me and my friends if there is an announcement, even if they are plastics, even if…. I want a 100% attendance on 2010 graduation.

Sabi sa inyo mabait naman ako eh… I’m ms. Brightside…

Senti evening

"Wanted bedspacer na mabait... yung panay marunong magligpit"

I went to supernova today. Ito yung kapalit sa ojt sana namin. I am really nervous because it is my first time to go there alone because marj is too lazy to go. I really have problem with directions. And supernova is so far from super pasay. I’m really scared. I thought I will not be able to be my destination. I usually spend my day at nova using the net. I really don’t listen to the lecturer. Nakakatamad naman kasi. Nang pauwi lis and anj wanted to drink starbucks coffee. I was jokingly telling them na ilibre nila ako. I didn’t know na totohanin nila. I love coffee but I’m really simple girl. I’d rather keep my 120 pesos than buying one starbucks coffee. Parang unreasonable talaga yung price. Tapos I rode at the MRT. I am armed with my mp3. Simple things make me happy. Walking or traveling alone at night while listening to my mp3 is included there. Pero I’m really nervous because there was some place where it was really dark and I’m petrified parang anytime someone could get my belongings. Hehehe… tapos ang feeling mo lagging may tao sa likod because of the light effects. Nagiging dalawa yung shadow ko. Wasak talaga… oh… I downloaded wanted bed spacer album of ely buendia. Ang tagal ko ng naghahanap niyan. Wala akong Makita sa record bars. Ang astig ng “Wanted Bed spacer”!! pinaka favorite ko yan.. sunod “santo”. Tapos nag download din ako ng sa taken by cars. Di ba sabi ko balak kon bumile ng album nila kasi hinde kompleto yung na download ko… pwes… ngayon hindi na ako bibili… nakumpleto ko na eh… wahahaha…

For Always

November 19 (Wednesday)

“I will love you so for always”

So now I am trying to write again about what happened to me. Well I woke up very early around 5:30 because I need to accompany my brother to his school. But it happens only on Wednesdays. I am always early during this day and it is really unusual thing for me to do. Haha… I have my SPT today and I really hate this subject. First, because we need to wake up very early and it is a 7:30 class. We are not into this kind of schedule because last semester our classes usually start on 10:30. We have a 7:30 class but only on Thursdays and our professor is always late so ok lang. Second, this subject made a lot of student’s grade miserable. Well it is depends on the teacher. And my professor for this subject has this “attitude”. Well I don’t know what really kind of “attitude” he has since I only met him twice and I don’t want to add the times I will see him. Well today we just made a t!me l!ne of J0se Riz@l’s life. So we don’t have a discussion. Then we have almost 1 and a half break. The next subject is quatech. Our professor here is a certified adik! Nakakatawa siya! Para pa siyang si Joker kung maglakad at ang the best sa lahat mahilig siya sa damo. Last sem daw his class get the class cards at the field! It’s the first time I heard that a prof give the class cards at the field. Comedy talaga siya! Then since it is a math subject we have commercials or break. He let us show his pictures with his former pupils. Comedy talaga!!! A while ago meron siyang joke na bentang benta sa akin. He is using the laptop and he put his usb. Then may nag pop-up. Yung kaspersky ata basta pang virus detection. Sabay sabi ng walang kaabog abog, I collect viruses. Tawang tawa ako dun. Ewan ko, corny siguro pero pag nandun ka talaga at nakita mo siya… adik talaga. Then when it was finished lunch na. then we just remember it is Km’s b-day! We forgot to greet her. Pero siyempre nilibre niya pa rin kami. Sa red ribbon kami kumain. We don’t know what to give to her. Then we decided to buy a big card and let all of our classmates plus professor to write something there.
I have a lot of things to do pero siyempre I love procrastinating. Before this I really don’t like to write pero when I play always by atlantic starr ewan ko basta bigla na lang ako gumanang magsulat. So I am here it seems I have written this quite long post biro mo.
What I learned today: I can have a new collection. A virus collection!

Sept. 10 (Wednesday)

I thought I was late when I went to my 10:30 am class. Puta! There is no class for that subject so it means my class really starts at 1:30 pm. I am really sleepy because I woke up 6:00am to accompany my little brother to his school. I am thankful that some of my classmates are so obedient and diligent they still went to our class to do our Bus. Com. Presentation. When we learned that our presentation for Bus Com was canceled me and cess just bum around the computer lab. I was really relief that the fucking presentation is cancelled. Then it rained really hard so our minds are into “suspended” thingy. In ordinary Wednesday we have class until 9:00pm. Then when about 3:00pm came, me, anj and marie is still talking about classes being suspended. My mother is insisting that I must go home because it is flood all around the city. But because we are not sure whether we have our major subject me and anj decided to stay and wait until the announcement will be announced. Well we didn’t attend our women’s studies class. They had a quiz. So what anj and I did is we went around the Taft area. We went to National and bum around. I saw this book called “the answers to your questions”. It is like an 8 magic ball. You will ask a question then you will open it. Then when you flip it you will see the book’s answer to your question. I asked first the book. “Is there a class?” I opened the book and I turn to the page and the book’s answer is “Don’t waste your time”. Then we asked and asked different questions. It’s so funny. Then when 4:30 came, we heard news… No 6-9:00pm class…

So to make the story short, I just procrastinated the whole day.

First day hi

June 10 (Tuesday)
“Nasasabik sa unang araw ng eskwela”

So here I am back to school like other 30 million ++ kids. It’s not my intention to go to school since it is the first day. I am studying for almost all of my life so I know the drill. First day is just meeting the teachers, orientation, rules etc, etc… but I also remember that it is also the catching up stage, the tsismisan, the kamustahan with my classmates… So I just tried to go to school coz I just miss hanging out with my friends and I only have 1 subject for this day. But I think that is also the reason why I can’t get out of my bed because I have only 1 subject for this day, it’s the 1st day and last but not the least the subject has a whapping zero units.

Awhile ago as I entered my beloved school (aysus, aysus) I already heard some of my former blockmates and they waved at me. Then when I am in our classroom reality hits me because it means me or we have new set of classmates. We waited for the professor but it turns out that it’s not our professor and scheduled have changed.

But I am really nervous, anxious, excited for tomorrow. First because I need to accompany my youngest brother to go to school since my mother is not available every Wednesday because she has some church activities. It’s my first time to do things like that. I am the only available because my class will start pa at 10:30. Speaking of 10:30, my subject for that is Statistics. I hate going back to the start. Then my dismissal will be 9:00pm. Ayos!


I bought banda mag nga pala featuring Pupil. I really love the pictures lalo na yung kay Ely at Wendell hahah astig!!

Holy Kamote...2

“bawat klase niya ay tinutulugan… pumapasok lang hanggang umabot ang attendance… pagdating sa kalokohan siya ang number 1 hindi paiiwan”

As I read my post last year the same month I have this post like a summary about my 1^st year college. So I think I will do it again.

First semester is a lot of fun. I have a lot of business subjects. I was so happy to see my class cards for the 1^st semester because I have a lot of B’s. wala akong lower than B-. But everything changed when 2^nd semester came. I need again to drop my statistics subject. I have a D at Phil. Go. Co. my first ever D in my life. I repeat my accounting and it is kind of fun thing to do. This second year for my blockmates is kind of shaky. A lot of friendships are broken. It is like the year when they know the “tunay na kulay” or real color of their friends. It seems that my friends and I also went through a “test” but we still stick to each other. Sabi nga ng iba naming classmate kami nalang yung hindi nag wawatak watak.

One highlight for this year is our retreat. It is like a soul searching for me and I really learned a lot. This year I also got the chance to meet a lot of new friends. Another highlight for the year is when my friends and classmates made a surprise thingy for me for my 18^th b-day. I’m really astounded because they did something like that. I always treasure that.

The cutting classes, and other iskul bukol moments still happened even if we said we will not do it again but we lessen it a bit. Masaya itong taon na ito because it is our last year together as block mates. Even though I have problems about them about their attitudes they will be my forever favorite block mates. Hahaha!! so this year I’ll say 7 and a half rock stars

Walang preno part 2

“We stand here and salute you, alma mater, alma mater. We carry forth your vision and your noble aims. No matter where we roam your spirit, ever alive within our hearts, your name proclaims”

This is from our school paper. What school? if you really read my posts you will now, if you don’t, yuck for you… hahaha!!!

“Ngayon di ko maintindihan kung naiintindihan ko nga ba ang mga school protocols particularly yung dress code. Anlabo kasi, parang kanina lang. high school graduation kasi, eh may klase pa kami nun sa umaga. Alam namin na after lunch, wala ng classes lahat. Eh gagamitin sana namin yung hapon para mag presswork n asana kami para madala na yung last issue ng TS sa printing press para umabot pa hanggang katapusan ng release. Kaso pagka-lunch namin sa labas (dahil closed na din ang canteen), bumalik kami sa school kaso ayaw na kami papasukin dahil bawal ang naka-maong pants, bawal ang rubber shoes, bawal ang collarless t-shirt qualified kami sa get up na to.

Akala ko nga sisitahin ako sa footwear ko, aangal sana ko dahil nagpakabaduy pa talaga ako para lang di maconfiscate id ko (naman, finals na eh!) Nagulat kami nung una, tapos sinabi nila kuya guard na graduation daw kasi kaya bawal yung get up namin. Ah ok, naiintindihan namin yun pero nag explain kami na mag-iistay lang kami sa TS office para gawin yung school paper. Kaso bawal daw talaga. Ok, sige, bawal na kung bawal. Pero sabi ni kuya hihintayin pa daw nila ang order sa kanila kung papayagan ba kami na makapasok. No choice kami kundi maghintay na lang. Pagkaupo ko, dun ko lang nakita yung pambungad na Graduation Information na nakapwesto sa entrada ng scholl (HAHA) Natawa ako dun sa guidelines- ang dress code, strictly formal. Bawal ang maong, rubber shoes, shorts, collarless tshirt, flip flops, may nakalimutan pa ba ako? Kaya naman ako natawa kasi kahit pala di ka aattend, ganito pa din dapat hitsura. Akala ko required lang ‘to sa mga bisita ng event nay un. Grabe, ayaw nilang makikita silang normal na tao sa school habang gingaganap yung grad. In short, dapat ikaw ay elegante at… sosyal?

May naalala tuloy ako sa “sosyal” nay an. Tuwing may makikilala ako, at pag tinatanong nila kung ano ang school ko, at pag sinagot ko, automatic nang kasunod niyan “Wow, sosyal!”. Grr. Hindi siya nakakatuwa. Hindi rin siya flattering. In fact, nakakainsulto siya. Ayaw kong sinasabihan ng sosyal ako dahil hindi naman talaga ako ganun. Lumaki ako na nagdaan sa hirap kaya di ko masisikmura yun.

Pansin ko may ganung image na talaga ang (name of school) . Kaso ok bay un? Sa totoo lang, gusto ko pag sinasabi ko kung ano school ko, ang papuri nila ej “Wow, ang galing”. Kaso hindi eh. Laging kaching ang naiisip nila.

Meron pa tuloy ako akong naalala (isa pa)… nag attend kami ng seminar regarding sa pagpapracticum (and pag magtratrabaho na din). Required yung iba na mag attend nito para maayos ang clearance. Halos natulog na lang ako sa seminar na y un, ang pinag uusapan eh yung right outfit sa trabaho at kung paano magmakeup. Nakakatawa. Superfocus ang (name of school) sa physical appearance ng mga estudyante pagsalitain mo ang karamihan (let’s face it). ah… err…

Ito na rin yung tinitignan kong bright side sa pag alis ko. Makakaalis na ako (sa wakas, dahil bigo yung una kong subok) at naniniwala akong mag-gugrow ako. Mas marami pa akong matutunan paglabas ko. Hindi lang puro sa pagsusuot at pag memakeup. Pero di ko naman ipagkakaila na may natutunan din ako sa kolehiyong ito… ngalang, di pa sapat para mapantayan yung matrikulang binabayaran ni Itay. “

After reading this it is like reality slapped my face intensely. Sadly, everything that is written down is true. It seems my school focuses on the “image” or looks of an individual. I remember what my Phil. Go. Co proff said. He said “di ba you are not allowed to wear flip flops at school. So be barefoot instead”. He also said that wearing flip flops or slippers will not affect your performance at school or you will be less human. And I think wearing slippers is better than wearing the standard1 inch heels because you will transfer to one building to another. Indeed, heels can affect your performance at school. hahaha! I think you know already what my school is because of what is written about being “social”. Nag-iisa lang ata kami. But yes, it is really true. I also experienced a lot of that.

Well as for dress codes this is only applicable during Saturdays for the students who have still class and during Class card giving and other events. For me, it is ok to have dress codes because we are GOING TO SCHOOL and not just anywhere else. Just like going to church we have dress codes. We have this because we are going to church which is a holy place and at school which is a place to study. But in the above situation, it is really absurd. Hindi naman sila aattend eh. Bakit kailangan pa nilang mag paka formal? Yun yung hindi ko maintindihan.

tama na sobra na!!

That will bring me to my own sentiments at my school. We have this convocation cards. You will need to attend to 10 events for the whole year. Para

Kaming high school!!! Tapos according to our manual convocation is FREE OF CHARGE. Talaga lang ha. Bakit yung concerts, yung basketball game… may bayad lahat yun!! Another is I guess every students experienced. Yung papuntahin ka sa isang play tapos ang kapalit nun isang attendance, recitation, quiz at iba pa. sabi ulit ng proff namin na halatang tinuturuan kaming mag rebelde ay isang example yun ng robbery at extortion. At lahat ng bayarin na di kasama sa tuition fees ay illegal. I also remember my friend asked me why I didn’t continue to study at St. Mary’s which is run by RVM sisters. I said ang lakas mang huthot ng mga madre eh. That’s life…

Image, making money… what really is important in a school? All I know is I am studying to gain knowledge and have a bright future. But it seems I will be either the next Ms. Universe or the next urban poor.

Pls. send me prayers so it will not come about…

Bagong Sem

“Bagong liwanag…”

Another semester had passed and another yet to come. I got some chills down at my spine because of the possibility to take my Accounting 2. I dropped it last year and I didn’t take any summer because I need a break from all the hurt that my Accounting subject brought to me. I am not used of having low grades. It’s not being arrogant ha. No matter what, whether I like it or not, I need to go back to my Accounting 2 and hopefully this time I will learn a lot.

I will pray to all the saints just to be successful this time. It sounds absurd or desperate but I did something wrong so I must take some actions. I think I need some dose of Pupil to give some adrenalin rush. hahaha labo!! Ayos pala yung ma sad straight English… hahaha

Tryin' to change

“I see my sigh going up to heave in a sky Full of shattered hopes and bleeding dreams”

As I read my post I think I don’t have those great journal entries. I will try at least to impart something that will be slightly useful. I want to talk about not just music but a little of politics (if my mind permits), environment, showbiz, business world etc. and I will still talk about my daily thoughts if I have. Ok so let’s try to do it now.

…..
……
……

Wa epek!! Hehehe… I will post na lang my project for theology about my presemt milieu. I got 94% for this while some got only 80 ++. Hahaha yabang!!

Here’s the present milieu of me and my surroundings. This is how I look the environment, people at our surroundings and even in religious matters. In environment, we all know that we are experiencing global warming. Lots of animals became extinct because of nowhere to live. Illegal loggers are everywhere and they are there to cut all trees that they could see. We are experiencing drought because of lack of rain. Then when it rains we are experiencing abundance of water in form of flood. A long time ago my parents and my grandparents always tell to me how beautiful and simple life was. Fresh air was there, fresh food, everything is so nutritious. But now, when all that fast food chains dominated it seems we can’t get enough of it. Another is the price. My grandparents always make us jealous by telling stories about how cheap a commodity was. How lucky they are, I said to myself. Now we’re here in the 21st century where under the control of technology. I have a fear that when the time comes the computers or robots are the one controlling us. Now I am kind of aware about what’s happening in my environment. I do simple things to take care Mother Earth. I remember myself throwing trash everywhere. How shameful that act was. I turn off machines, computers, lights etc. when I will not use that. I also try to teach my little brothers’ simple act. All things can start in simple and small things.

About the person surrounds me, I think now they are more liberated and opinionated. Some are not contented in what they have. They always want the new one or what they see to other people. But I think the number of people who are doing something different and good to our country increased. Like there are a lot of foundations, organizations that assist less fortunate or anyone that needed help. With that it’s kind of inspires me to do something that I can impart to people who needed my help. I want to make a difference. As what my professor said is we are like an iceberg 2% is only showing. It’s sad because God gave us this life then we will only show only 2% of it. That’s why I need to get out of my seat and start and think something because is not yet too late. I now I can formulate something out of my mind. A woman in another hand continues to convey to the world that we’re not just ordinary human beings. We can do something to make a difference. What I see in students is they strive hard in order to graduate or to attain success. They really use a lot of time study; make assignments but what good is they also have time with themselves, family and friends. That’s what I’m doing. I have goals in life. So I need to create a plan or the things what to do in order to achieve success. Sometimes I fail but it doesn’t mean I can’t stand up. I think again and reflect what I did. Then stand up and go again with what I planned.

In religious matter we follow what the Church they believe in then we will believe the same. I think that people nowadays are more into praying. Like when President Arroyo said that we should pray to ask for rain we followed her then we prayed to God. Then after a few days typhoons seems can’t get enough of our country. One typhoon is followed by another one then another again. It only shows that God really bestow us when He think we really needed it. That’s the power of prayer. I always pray. Prayer is really magical. You should also think of what you pray for. I remember that I prayed for something but regret it afterwards when my wish was granted.

Trying Trinoma

“Trip mo trip ko kahit san ka pa patungo. Trip ko Trip mo walang iwanan wala ding tatalo trip mo bang sumama sa paglalakbay?”

It’s PAASCU Accreditation. So what I, Anj and Lisa did was we went to the newly opened Trinoma somewhere at Quezon near SM North Edsa. Eh we are from Manila, Malate to be exact(yung school). Actually nag cutting classes lang kami (pls. don't try this at home it's dangerous) because we suppose to report kaso di nagawa ni Lisa so takas kami. Anyways, all of us haven’t gone to Trinoma so we don’t know how to go there. We agreed on riding a taxi because it’s convenient. The taxi driver said it’s more convenient to ride in the MRT than riding on a taxi because it will cause a lot. So we agreed with him then he accompanied us to Ayala Ave.

MRT

Near Glorietta to ride MRT there. while inside we talk about people we can’t talk about when we are inside the school. Bad ba? Anyways, I noticed that yung metro ay ang bilis ng andar. Then when we are at the MRT we realized that we should just go to Buendia MRT Station. Mas convenient and cheap. I think we can just ride a jeep. Stupid us. Anyways hati hati naman kami eh. So 20 buck each. When we’re at the MRT, I learned that it’s the first time Lisa will ride on a MRT. While me and Angela, it’s not the first time but we seldom ride on it. so we’re like a probinsyana. ASTIg… tapos inside kwentuhan… like when we see billboards we will go like “Ay nagpa retoke yan”, “Ay bakla yan” hahaha… ang saya. We bonded talaga. When we’re at Trinoma already we roam around. Actually we have really light reason why we went trinoma, because in Jolibee there’s a sofa. Hahaha. but we found out that it’s not what we really think of. Then we just look to something to eat. We went to Tacobell. I ordered tacos. Delicious. Then lisa is funny because she already ordered potatoes and cheese but she is still hungry so we went to Sbarro and she ordered pasta and chiken with garlic bread. Me and Anj just laughing at her because what she ordered fits for 3 persons. Lisa is just so hungry. Well, she didn’t finished it. pinabalot niya. Then nag ikot ikot. I don’t know if it’s true but they say that there’s a couple of guy that get starstrucked at me. they stared at me. hahah funny. Then we watch a movie “Nancy Drew”. Well it’s ok but I think the book is better than the movie. Then Anj and me and Lisa went separate ways. Anj is from Bulacan so she has her own route while me and Lisa is somewhat the same. We should ride on a MRT again. When we’re at the booth to buy tickets hindi pwede kasi store value lang kailangan daw ay pumunta sa foot bridge. Because we don’t know bout the place mali pala yung ginawa namin. Ang layo ng nilakaran namin. Stupid us my tawiran pala. Then we used the stairs yung sa MMDA yung pink. Eh butas butas yun di ba? Eh it’s Thursday naka palda kami. Tawa kami ng tawa kasi baka makitaan kami. Laugh trip. This trip is a lot of fun. SAYA!!
Well to sum it up trinoma is just like Glorietta so it’s like Glorietta of Quezon City. Bakit pa magpapakalayo eh meron naman sa Makati?

It's A- after all

“Imposible ayan tuloy hindi ako makatulog. Shit! panaginp ba ito. Imposible ni re-replay lahat ng slomo sa isip ko”

Yahoo!! I need to celebrate. Would you believe it I got A minus for not just ordinary subject. It’s Finance as in Math subject. If you don’t know why I am so happy because last year I had problems with my accounting subject that it end in dropping it. I am so happy after all that happened, happens and still happening I got A minus after all. In other subjects, in Economics I got B – but it’s tentative because our teacher got messed up with our exams. Then in Literature I’m C+ only because I missed one test and I over heard my teachers instruction at the paper that she wanted us to do. Sa P.E. B+. ok na yun because I missed my Bowling mid term exam pero I got B + pa din. In other subjects di pa sinasabi because they still computing. Babawi ako para maging dean’s lister (ASA!) hehehe!!
