November-rific!
|
Lalalalalala... Comelec registration officially ended two days ago. Problem? People, specifically first time voters, flooded their respective municipal and city halls by coming late. One (very) good example is my madir. Mama paid a couple of visits in our municipal hall before successfully bringing home her validation/registration stub. Honestly, this wouldn't be possible without the help of padir. Papa left the house a bit early and stood in line for her. Papa was already there six in the morning yet his number was 75. 'Talk about people's seriousness to register. Mama finished at about 30 minutes past 10. That's about 4 hours.
On the other hand, I registered last August of this year. ‘Two months before the deadline! Weee~ It's because of papa's persuasion again. I'm glad I was enthralled with his charm leaving me with no problem in registering. I was planning pa naman to register this sem break. I have no idea that such thing will happen. Filipinos are lazy sometimes (‘more like most of the time). As of this time, I’m already waiting for my voter’s ID. Yahoo! Google!
You might ask what am I doing this semestral break. Technically, I don’t really know where am I spending my 360 hours free time. Well… ‘None that I know of. It’s November 2 and knowing that this is the last day of my sem break, I’m thinking of some things that I should have done. I should’ve watched more anime` series. I should’ve finished a book or something. I should’ve food tripped with my family. I should’ve watched a lot of DVD movies (the newer, the better). It’s for my own good. ‘Right?
Politics has been a big talk in our humble home. Papa was so into it. Every time the TV chatters about it, he gets tensed up and just suddenly pops out of nowhere. It’s then followed by a sermon about those too-good-to-be-true politicians. I think he’s with Noynoy Aquino. Funny, I’m with Chiz Escudero. I do have a feeling that mama’s siding with Chiz too. Papa keeps on explaining that my vote would be a waste the moment the youth’s vote will be divided (between Chiz and Noynoy). He was quite sure of it. ‘His problem? If the votes will be divided, Villar might win which he doesn’t want to happen. Eh, kung si Papa na lang kaya kumadidato?
Looking on the bright side, Noynoy and Chiz have the same advocacy. Both of them campaigns on people and for the people. We all know that a president without his both hands won’t be able to work properly. As long as his people are backing him up, no blockade can stop him. The recent disaster courtesy of Ondoy and Peping is a strong example of which. Observation tells us that the Government was handicapped due to the sole reason of people’s dearth support. The populace was ranting about their slow response. And most people lost faith in them. Private organizations, on the other hand, were given humungous support by well off citizens. TV stations such as GMA and ABS-CBN, was able to raise a very huge amount of money for a very short time. I personally believe that because of the Government’s issue on corruption, people gradually lost trust in them. Kumbaga, wealthy people would think, “I will donate my money on private organizations because I know that my help would definitely reach the victims. No one knows what will happen to my money the moment I give it to the Government.”
Tama na nga! I’m already sounding like my papa. ‘Talk about politics syndrome. I’m currently waiting for my EEE 43 grade. The other grades were already posted and THANK GOD! I passed my Philo 11 subject. Under Sr. De Villa, I was like walking on fire the whole sem (‘thinking twice whether I should just accept the fact that I’ll not pass the subject). PERO I STILL GOT A 3! I know it’s “pasang awa” but for me it’s an achievement.
Sixteen days to go before I turn 18. Hooray! Debut’s not my type. Sayang na nga sa pera, sayang pa sa oras. ‘Guess I’ll just treat my close friends a meal.
Welcome Second Semester of 2009-2010!

month long unannounced hiatus
|
Yes, I just had a month long hiatus. 'Twas unexpected though. I got loaded with numerous work in the past N days. I just had an exam this morning, from 9am-12nn. Of course it was hard for me. It's composed of three parts. And among these, 1 3/4 are my only (sure?) intelligible answered parts. So out of a hundred, my probability of passing is a bit low.
Speaking of probability, instead of using my time in studying my EEE 25 (Statistics and Probability) exam, I opt to put my eyes and hands on Non's laptop. Where's my own laptop? It's still confined in NEO infirmary. NEO has a very slow and undeniably ineffective service just like UP infirmary. My laptop's keys are pathetic though. Main keys such as space bar, enter and back space malfuction. 'Talk about typing a report there.
Anyway, that's for now. 'Hope to update tomorrow. =)

internet connection. debut. school rants.
|
We were dismissed early in my last class. Since my next one will be at 1pm, I decided to go home. I wasn't able to update yesterday because of our intermittent internet connection. And up until now, it doesn't function well.
"Could not contact Blogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail. Retrying..."
Why oh, why? The connection was lost again (and again, and again). Elaine's debut is fast approaching. But, I still have a major problem. 'Not on Elaine's debut ha!
I have a zit.
'Really pain in the a--. I'm using a concealer right now and yet it's still bulging out. I'm worried that it'll continue to grow (and grow, and grow). All of my pictures would in that event would feature my zit. I hope cosmetics will give a great help.
Anyhow, I do already have a dress which I bought in Multiply. Hooray for that! Here's the pic when worn. I'm grabbing it without permission so I'll state the source.
Please do forgive me sis if you'll see this pic posted on my site. =)
The color scheme is black and/or white.

I really love this dress. My only problem (well, not really...) in this one is its length. It's a little short for me. 'Some kind of a mini dress when I wear it. Nevertheless, it's perfect. Ang cute ng color di ba?
About my studies: Yesterday was like Friday the thirteenth for me. My name was called/flashed in the screen in three out of six classes. My name was flashed for recitation (But I got saved by the bell). My name was called in my GE class (for recitation again). And the most terrorizing one, I got picked randomly in my major subject where I was persuaded to transfer to another class. Which means, I need to transfer in a later class than mine. Siyempre, nagmatigas ang lola niyo. Isa pa, that class was sandwiched by my two other majors. If I transfer to another schedule, I would destroy my daily calendar. Kumbaga, sabog. My prof's last words after my "pagmamatigas" was, "Mag-aral kang mabuti ha..." Okay... That's threat. Bahala na si batman.

first school week.
|
Yes! I'm still alive. (well... a part of me) So this'll gonna be fast. It's already 12:30 and I have a class this 1pm. I'm still in our boarding house, facing my laptop. Actually, the author is very much sleepy. I woke up at around 5:30. Since, I have a class this 7am. My professors in GE subjects are terrorizing. 'Really terrorizing.
'Short update for a very long week. Hope I'll survive this sem with flying colors. If not, let God allow fate to pass all my subjects. I'm much more worried with my minor subjects. They're harder than I thought. T^T 'Crying face for that.
I can't sleep early later. Why? I still need to read a book about B************. 'Guess I'm just worried that my prof would give a surprise quiz tomorrow. One more thing, I need to research about P********* (my another GE). Grabe, mas marami pa akong gagawin kaysa sa majors.
May God bless my soul. =)
'Hope your school days are better than mine.

boredom. classes. boarding house.
|
'Just finished my lunch. I don't know exactly what to do. I'm supposed to be out there in the sun doing stuffs that I normally do. Honestly, I feel retarded. Retarded. 'First word that popped in my head. (No offense to... dot dot dot)
Random thought: Why not go malling? Trinoma? Shang? Glorietta? Gateway?
Nakakatamad.
First of, malling would require me to spend an ample amount of cash. Second, waste of time and energy. Just try to compute how many Joules I would exert if I go to Glorietta. Force would be, mass times acceleration. Let's say, I have a mass of 55 kg and the MRT is travelling on a constant acceleration of 200 m/s. I would have,
F = 55 * 200 = 11,000 Newtons
Then, computing for energy, E = Fd, where d is distance,
E = 11,000 x 1.5 km = 16,500,000 Joules
Conclusion: Just stay at home.
Classes will start tomorrow. A long NOOOOOOO for that. Tomorrow's the day I've been staying away from. Ayoko pa talaga pumasok. Pwedeng 1 week extension pa?
Since tomorrow's our first day, the three of us (my roommates and I) went back in our boarding house today. I must say that our boarding house is one of a kind a mild kind of a catastrophe. Just take a look at the pictures below and imagine what my daily life is.
Poor place. 'Wish there's Extreme Makeover: Boarding House Edition in the Philippine.

blogging. politics on commercials.
|
I really missed blogging. =) 'Smile for that. I went laughing when I browsed through my archives. Most of my posts there were random things that transpired on the specified date. It made me laugh harder when I read my first few posts. There were wrong spellings, bad grammar and text language.
"Ngayon nanghihinayang ako kasi kaninang umaga pumasok ung ilang kong friends... hay naku.. well moody talaga me."
I can't even remember myself talking like that. 'Screw text messaging! 'Kidding! Think about it. That's four years ago. My cellphone back then was 2100. 'Tis the result of my non-stop begging for a new phone.
'Change topic.
Con Ass.
Okay, change topic ulit. LOL
Lately, I find politicians' commercials annoying. 'Come on! It's too early to campaign. Few comments?
Manny Villar's galing-ako-sa-mahirap commercials
What's the point in bragging that he came from a meager family? Yes, he does help a lot of people in financial terms. But, is helping not enough? Isn't it more fulfilling if you help without expecting something in return? Besides, even if you're just a mere citizen in this country, you can help. One doesn't need a Government position to make a change.
Mar Roxas' pedicab commercial
"Anak, itabi mo. Ako na."
A very common political persuasion. Making yourself part of those below the poverty line. Let's face it. Who would normally see a politician riding a pedicab or tricycle? Everytime my mom visits Senate, I see to it that I'll come with her. And never in my 17 years of existence that I found a pedicab there. What did I find? Politicians strutting their Giorgio Armani outfits after slamming the doors of their Mercedes Benz vehicles. Now tell me, is that being one with the underprivilaged?
Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro's T-E-O-D-O-R-O commercial
Well, I was happy to find out that he changed the format of this commercial. At first, I don't know his intentions of running. But the moment my eyes saw his commercial, an idea ran through my head saying, "He's definitely into something." And I was right! He really plans to run for president.
Jejomar Binay's Makati Anniversary Commercial
"Ganito sa Makati."
Edi kayo na ang ganyan. I know it's Makati's Anniversary. But hey, why just now? Every year your city is celebrating this and yet this is the first time a commercial was made. 'Competing with others, huh? Like Teodoro's, I hope one will not use these reasons for their personal intentions. Especially, political ones.
Bayani Fernando's BAYANI posters and stickers
Ever rode a public bus which has a sticker with big BAYANI print on it? First of, Kudos to Fernando for all his accomplishments as MMDA chairman. I saw some major improvements in Manila. I must say that he made Filipinos disciplined. PERO (isang malaking pero) last week, I saw some stickers saying "Bayani for 2010 president." Hey! It's not yet campaign period. Why put up such stickers?
Okay, I have no personal issues with these people. (Since I don't know them personally. Haha!) These are just my ideologies. 'Mere product of my working brain. Please don't arrest me or what just because of this. Besides, I'm still a minor. I'll not get arrested no matter what. Haha!
Yes, I'm a minor. But, I'll turn 18 this November. I'll be a part of the numerous first time voters. Problem is, I can't find time to register. I hope I'll be able to register before the deadline.
Last words? As what ABS-CBN promotes, Ako ang simula.

Life's a mess. Being messy helps you find your inner cleanliness. =)
|
Yes, after a very long time, I'm here once again. 'Re-opening my blogger blog for the 3rd time. Laziness? 'Maybe. The last update in my Multiply blog, if I'm not mistaken, is October 2008. 'Great. 'Just great. My main reason (more like an alibi) is me being busy for school. 'Thought that was justifiable. A while ago, my dad was persuading me to continue blogging. He asked me if I still blog. I said not anymore. Why? Haha! He was watching Game KNB. A contestant mentioned something about his blog. Then, the rest is history.
What's cracking this time? 'Nothing much. I'm tired of just surfing the net, looking for contests and joining them. Actually, I joined one and I won. I'll not tell the site for my privacy. Haha! I think, no one knows that I'm in that contest. Well anyway, classes will start this coming Tuesday, June 16. I'm still not prepared to give up my vacation. I took summer classes that deprived me in enjoying summer days. Nonetheless, a subject was slashed from my list this semester. I will only be dealing with five major subjects and two GEs.
If you already lost track of my education level, I'm proud to say I'm already in my 3rd year in college. 'Cool right? Three more painstaking years to go and I’m off to work (I hope).
I had this cool online work before wherein I was given a task to advertise a site. Thinking it was that easy, I applied and got in. Surprisingly, it was hard. I need atleast 5 hours or more just to accomplish the job. Unfortunately, my laptop crashed last week and got confined in Neo's service center. It was diagnosed of cancer. 'Kidding. They said its optical drive has problems. We need to pay 8,000 pesos to repair it. Whoa?! That was one big suprise. Isn't it? It costs more than my summer tuition fee. 'Torture much.
We pulled it out this week and brought it in SST (branch in festival supermall). In less than 5 minutes, my laptop was back into business. Uhhh... What drive problem was Neo talking about? Tss... 'Money making business.
I'll be attending Elaine's debut this June 21. The debut will be held in Lancaster hotel in Ortigas. weee~ It'll be fun. I'll be seeing my old highschool buddies again. I'm tired of always seeing Nons and Val (well they're my roommates). Tee'hee.
So I guess that's all for now. I'll keep my fingers crossed, hoping I'll continue this 3rd blog re-opening. Haha! See you soon. =)

Bob Ong's quotable quotes
|
Grabbed from Kim 
1. "Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.."
2. "Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba."
3. "Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."
4. "Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."
5. "Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."
6. "Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din."
7. "Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."
8. "Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."
9. "Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."
10. "Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una."
11. "Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa."
12. "Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka."
13. "Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority."
14. "Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya."
15. "Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo."
16. “Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala”
17. “Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan”
18. "Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"
19. "Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo."
20. "Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sa iyo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo."
21. "Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal...nakakatakot mahulog...at kapag nahulog ka, it's either by accident or talagang tanga ka.."
