I have a weird family.
I lost my phone.
Apparently, both my brother and sister lost their phones too.
HOw are we supposed to tell Mom and Dad without making them think that we've become really irresponsible?
How am i gonna convince 'em into buying me a new phone and a new laptop this summer?
How are we gonna convince 'em to say yes to our proposed "Summer Getaway"?
BADTRIP.
Nawa'y Totoo.
Yebah! My horoscope for today made me smile... Pero paano ito mangyayari? I'm definitely at my ugliest. Seryoso. matabang, maitim na may pimples.
The Bottom Line
Shop around for the best bargains -- in life as well as in all things mercantile.
In Detail
Your world-famous passion is nothing to sneeze at -- especially now. The heavens are energizing your sign -- your personality and appearance -- and that means you're an irresistible, persuasive magnet at the moment. In short, you'll be absolutely impossible to refuse (even more so than usual, that is, if you can believe it). Don't try to rein it in, not one bit. It's your secret weapon, and it's operating at full capacity now. Still, if you're not interested in someone, don't pretend that you are, not even for a kick. This stuff you're putting out is pretty darned potent. Go easy.
What will i be famosu for?
| You will be famous for taking over a small country You always see opportunities to get what you want no matter what the cost. You are cut-throat and a capitalist at heart. Let’s hope the country is a tropical paradise and not Iceland. Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com |
The Return of My Source of Joy
I wanna say thank you to Koko for not failing to be the SOURCE OF JOY that he is for all of us. T'was nice catching up with you. Wag natin kalimutan si "Jun Jun" at sana the next time na magkita tayo, malaman mo na kung sa Sweden ba o Norway ang punta mo. hehe...
I missed you. Don't forget my pasalubong-slash-token from Hongkong ok? God bless.

Sa Wakas, One Down.
Thank you Lord, tapos na po ang Oblicon. At least I know i did my best. Ok na ko doon.
We had dinner at Gerry's. Namiss ko ang mga ganitong lakad. Sa uulitin.
Can't wait to go to the beach. Konting tiis na lang Eunice.
Salamat sa mga nagdadasal for me. Ipagpatuloy lang po natin.

Feet
There's nothing wrong with putting your best foot forward...Tama naman diba? It's always been my philosophy. I don't think showing other people your best side is pretentious per se. It's more like an invitation to a person to get to know you better. There's nothing wrong with "Good advertising". I think people should be flattered that someone's exerting effort to be the best that he/she can be. Aminin nyo, refreshing itong take ko na ito! =P
after all, it's still YOUR FOOT.
-Li'l Miss Eunice
Huling Hirit.
Huling hirit bago sumabak sa giyera... Sabi nga ni Kiboy, ang mga pep talk na naranasan namin these past few days ay ang klase ng pep talk na natatanggap ng mga sundalo. Un tipong, "Para sa bayan!" pero ang difference lang ang sinisigaw namin, "Para sa pangarap!" At siyempre, tulad ng mga nasa deathrow, kapag oras mo na, pinapakain ka muna.T'was an amazing night, we had a spontaneous block dinner thingie and i was reminded of how great it is to be a part of Batch 2009's Section C. Basta, just being here with all these talented and nice people makes me feel special and well, serene. Sayang nga lang at hindi nanaman kami binigo ng SUCKY SERVICE ng Dencio's. Argh...
Rewind. Kamusta ka naman Eunice? I have to be recognized for being able to go to school early in the morning for two consecutive days. Isa itong achievement. Sabi ko nga, di ito tama. Kanina, i was the first to arrive sa Starbucks, around 6:30 in the morning. (that's after going home at around 11pm the night before ha!) Minsan lang ako masikatan ng araw, at well, i-maximize sa pamamagitan ng pagsusuot ng shades.
We had our Theo Oral Exam. Kinarir namin. Talagang nagkaron pa kami ng "in-depth" pre-exam discussion as a group. Idol talaga namin si Fr. Mangulabnan, he inspires people. He kind of reminds me of my Creative Writing professor in UP. Basta. It's graet that there are people in the law school whose goal is to make the students feel like they belong. Ang pananaw ko kasi, di na kelangan i-pressure kami, the pressure that we feel daily is more than enough. Pero Lord, (disclaimer) di po ako nagrereklamo. Kaya ko pa (kakayanin ko kasama MO) ang pressure hanggang sa Bar Exam. All the WAY!Nagkaron naman kami ng "Gumuho ang mundo at nagsaklob ang langit at Lupa" moment ni Ces. Kasi pagkatapos ng paglalakad namin sa Sahara Dessert a.k.a. Starbs Loft to Ateneo ng matindi ang sikat ng araw para ayusin ang aming Test Permit, sa kakahintay namin kung dadating ba si Kuya Nino ay napansin namin ang isang papel na nakapost sa Registrar. At narinig namin na ito daw ay may kinalaman sa Appeals. Kabado ever. At dahil akala namin ay di na na-approve ang appeal namin,parang mejo nawalan kami ng gana. Argh. Muntik na ko magkaron ng nervous breakdown. Buti na lang false alarm.
Hehe, freecut sa Leg Writ. NO COMMENT.
Syempre meron pala ako "moment" with Ana's crushie koochi koochi cooo. Ana, maniwala ka, di ko sinasadya. Pero in fairness to you, maganda ang boses nya at gentleman sya. SInusuportahan kita sa iyong pagsinta sa kanya. Hay naku, kamusta naman ako? Isang taon na ko naghahanap ng human warmth? Well, di naman pala isang buong taon, may mga "GREAT KILIG MOMENTS" naman pala ako. Pero gets?Lord, ok lang po. Basta, samahan nyo lang ako sa FINALS solve na ko. (SIPSIP)
Nga pala, hinahamon ko si David, Jeno, Shelly, Jomaeto at Lea Abutan na makipagpataasan ng score sakin sa FINALS. Seseryosohin kaya nila ko? Bwahahaha... Gaya nga ng sinabi ni Kay, "Kung magkakaron kayo ng contract para patunayan yang pataasan nyo, ano ang status ng Contract na'to?" at ang sagot ko, "VOID! Kasi IMPOSSIBLE sya." Oh well Rockwell. Haha.
Kaya natin ITO! God... is good.
Aha!
Minsan lang magkaron ng movie na may character na Eunice... Salamat She's The Man.
but NO!!!
sya ay isang creepy na geek. Salamat ha.
but NO!!!
sya ay isang creepy na geek. Salamat ha.
My Hands are Shaky and I'm Palpitating...
It’s not about drinking endless cups of coffee… not even because I haven’t eaten. It’s not Starbucks’ “polar” temperature. It’s because the most important part of this semester’s about to unfold. The “make or break” period of this whole game that we are in, “The Final Exams“.
Once again, we are in a very crucial moment. I, myself, can feel how this could result to a change in my future. I don’t want to leave because if there’s one thing that I found in the law school, it’s my friendship with really special people… my block, 1-C.
Don’t get me wrong, every single person in my block is different from the other, we don’t have the same views about things, we don’t have the same level of patience, but we agree on the fact that WE ARE A BLOCK and WE ARE HERE TO AT LEAST HELP EACH OTHER WITH THE THINGS THAT MATTER. Yes, we are united. We agree to disagree and we all want to graduate together. My block has been through a lot and we never forget to at least reward ourselves, to have fun ONCE in A WHILE. But when we party, we ROCK!
I am writing this because I feel like this is the best time to add to the PEP TALK that we got from our adviser, Atty. Maita Chan-Gonzaga. We often converse about how difficult it was for us during our first semester, how at times we doubt if our professors see how dedicated we are to excel in the law school. There may be times when we feel like we are just gonna let things be and stop… but we never did stop. We never got tired of learning, and yes, we persevere to be the best that we can be. We are so happy that we at least are being recognized for the effort that we are exerting. We do not aspire to be at the top of everyone else, we just aspire to know and learn as much as we can in this journey. We all are in this together.
I am proud to be a part of a block with a heart. I am proud that I am a part of a group that knows how to settle their own differences and knows how to achieve things NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER PEOPLE. I am sure that this block would like to, first and foremost, thank the best beadle that any block could ever hope for, Patty-kins Libo-on. She endured a whole year of leading us and of taking care of things that at times we should be taking care of. Patty, we know that you felt harassed, tired and well, irritated at times but we thank you for not stopping and for giving importance to the position that we entrusted you. To Lea Abutan, who painstakingly accepted the job of collecting money from the most “kuripot” people, thank you.
This is the end of one School Year, our first School Year together. I am looking forward to three more school years with all of you. I continue to study because I don’t want to part with such incredibly inspiring individuals.
FINALS na 1-C… gaya ng lagi nating sinasabi… “Di tayo aral!” Pero we will deliver at di natin bibiguin si Ma’am Maita. Tama nga, “Di tayo ARAL…” kasi NAG-AARAL PARIN TAYO. Life is a continuous opportunity to learn more and be better persons.
ARAL NA!

Ano ka ngayon?
Feelingera ka kasi. Akala mo pag natatapos ang mga chuvaness mo with guys, di sila nakakamove on. Akala mo pag nalalagay sila ng mga "parinig" messages sa Friendster, paraan lang nila un para pagselosin ka. Di mo napigilan tignan ang profile nya, at syempre supalpal ka. In a Relationship ang status at nagkalat ang mga pictures nya at ng bagong babae sa buhay nya. Kunwari ka pang natatawa. Aminin mo, lagi ka nahihirapan tanggapin na masaya sya. Nagawa nya maging masaya pagkatapos ng lahat.
Feelingera ka kasi. Akala mo ikaw ang source of joy ng lahat ng tao. Pero sino ang "Single" sa Friendster? Diba ikaw? Gusto ko lang ipaalala, ikaw ang nag-umarte kaya di naging kayo. Kaya tumigil ka na.

GANITO ANG NANGYAYARI...
KAPAG MALAPIT NA ANG FINALS!
Setting: Starbucks Loft, nag-aaral kami ng masinsinan... tahimik na tahimik, hanggang mararamdaman na naming it's time for a BREAK. Dito nagsisimula ang paglabas ng aming frustration...
Round One:
Ces: Guys knock knock.
Ana: Ha?
Ces: Knock knock.
Ana: Ok.
Euns: Ana, who's there! who's there ang dapat mo sabihin. [na-frustrate? hehe]
Ana: Who's there?
Ces: Seesaw.
ana: Seesaw who?
Ces: SEESAW Lucky... [Britney Song] Knock knock ulit.
Euns: Who's there?
Ces: Sisa.
Euns: Sisa who?
Ces: SISA star.... [Britney Song]
(Genuine na pagtawa ang naging kasunod)
Round Two:
Ces: Meron pa... meron ako alam na magandang lyric booboo... (*sings Power of two) So we're ok, OK FINE...
Ana: Ang bakla.
(Genuine Laughter ulit)
Round Three:
Ces (parin): Un friend ko one time narinig ko sya kumakanta ng (*starts singing again...) "Someday wo-oh.. if love can move a mountain." [Someday we'll know]
(TAWA NG MALAKAS LAHAT)
Euns: Seryoso ba sya nun?
Ces: Oo seryoso sya.
(TAHIMIK)
-------
So much for ending my Oblicon sem right... had a REALLY SUCKY RECIT. Hinawahan ko pa si Kay at Pepay. Asar. Pero keri lang, dahil Deo won, nilibre nya kami ng Pizza. Woohoo! Calories.
Si Ralph baduy, nakikiupo tapos di nanlilibre. Sayang ang boto namin. Harhar. Dapat lang na agaran kaming umuwi nun dumating ka na dahil ni isang Ham n' Cheese Croissant ay wala ka naibigay. =P
Kamusta naman si Tecson? After downing two bottles of beer, he's sooo effin' red. Di pede i-conceal ang pagiging alcoholic in the future. =P
Di pa pala tapos ang mga nakakatawang bagay...
Habang nagkukuwentuhan kami at kumakain ng Nova at SkyFlakes na dinekwat ni Ana sa car ni Shem ay may nag-emerge na lalaking nakatayo lang sa tabi ni Ana. Kaming dalawa ni Ces ay natigilan, nagkatinginan at tintry ang lahat para di tumawa. But to no avail. Kung nakita nyo sya, ang weird. Akala namin kakilala sya ni Ana o kaya hihingi sya ng Nova samin. Hehe.
When we finally decided to go home, sa sobrang lamig sa Starbs, si Ana parang di na gumagalaw. Haha. Ano ang test of true friendship? Ang pagco-convoy para magpa-gas. Un isang car sa Shell at isa sa Caltex, therefore, convoy. Ang labo.
Leg Writ presentation tomorrow. Haay.

Araw Ko Ngayon.
Panalo ka JV. Perfect attendance sa question and answer portion ng LAHAT ng mga FORA that we attended. Pero sa lahat-lahat ng mga ginawa mo, ngayong gabi lang kita di mapapatawad. Ito ay dahil sa iyong pagquo-quote sa akin. Sabagay, panalo nga naman.
The Forum Title was... "Where are we going?" [or something to that effect] and my question was, "How do we get there?". Come to think of it, that was a very valid question. Yeah, and witty too.
Our Leg Writ presentation's something to look forward to. The cast's soooo talented and well, eager. SHem's so excited for her Coming Out Party that she paid for our KFC dinner during rehearsals. Thanks to Chris for letting us hangout at your condo at sa chips and softdrinks[sosyal! konti na lang tatalon na ko sa pool!] and well, thanks to my whole group for being soooooo creative. Astig kayong lahat.
Ana, mali ka talaga sa ginawa mo sa Lib. Salamat sayo, inaakala na ng buong 1-C na ako'y nabighani sa kanya. Kasalanan mo ito Carmi. Ngayon, paano ko ipapaliwanag na pinagtripan nyo lang ako at talagang walang katotohanan sa mga bali-balita? Di ko na sya makausap sa sobrang pagkapraning. Si Lew, pinagdiinan pa ito sa akin habang nakatambay kami sa Ateneo Steps. Si Mel, may nabuong theory na kaya ako nagpapagabi sa Starbs ay dahil sa kanya. At higit sa lahat, please guys, tuksuhin nyo naman ako sa totoong tintitibok ng aking puso. Argh. Guys, maawa kayo sakin.
Kamusta naman un Tecson vs. COMELEC case?! Maikli lang un "main opinion" but noooo, lahat ng justices may "Separate Opinion" na mejo halos pare-pareho lang ang sinasabi? Pero, congrats sakin. At least, natapos ko sya tonight. Productive parin.

Miting De Avance
I went to the Miting De Avance this afternoon but I only got to stay for an hour. At least I was able to hear what almost all the candidates have to say except for Nad. I guess at this point, I am pretty sure who I want to vote. Although I feel obliged to still have room for possible changes of heart, i pretty much have made up my mind.
I must admit that the Meeting De Avance was a very big part of my making certain decisions. I feel disappointed that some of the people whom I think could convince me to vote for 'em more, didnt actually convince me. Kulang. I agree with "being a public speaker isnt synonymous to being a good public servant" but I agree with Jess Lopez when he said that "good communication skills play an essential role in being able to realize their goals." Basta.
My attention was caught by the fact that there was a candidate who had to resort to the fallacy of attacking the person. Gaya nga ng sinabi ni Shem while we were discussing the elections last night, YOu cannot win by exploiting the weaknesses of your oponent but instead, you must be able to show your own strength. Kasi, e ano ngayon kung mahina un kalaban kung wala ka naman pinapakita para makumbinsi ang mga tao na ikaw ang malakas?
VOTE WISELY. VOTE FOR A "JUST" REASON.
JUST BECAUSE.

On the Ateneo School of Law Student Council Elections
Yes, we have to vote on platforms. Yes, we must think before we vote. Yes, sometimes, even if we know what we should do, we vote for people JUST BECAUSE. That sucks.
Yes, we are taking it seriously. Well, at least I am taking it seriously. Yes, I think the Student Council is a vital part of a student's life in the law school. Yes, sometimes we all dream of an efficient council only to be disappointed by their inability to deliver.
But I still am voting. I refuse to waive my right to having a say on who should represent me. They say they want to be of service, and I won't say no to an offer which only demands of my approval.
I dont know what's going on through the candidates' minds, but if there's one thing i'm sure of, they want to win. When I go to the Meeting de Avance tomorrow, I will look for that PASSION that only someone who wants it sooo badly can exhibit. I don't want them to be funny but I want them to be fun. I might vote for them "just because" but I will make sure that "MY JUST BECAUSE" will justify my decision.

the election is on Thursday, March 16.

Summer Na.
Summer na.
Putangina.
Ang init ang lagkit,
gusto ko maghubad, bakit?!
Gusto ko magswimming.
Pero ako'y tabachingching.
I'm so proud of myself. I finished reading 24 cases tonight for Oblicon. T'was a productive night! Ang swerte ko talaga, it turned out that my Oblicon and Logic prof both couldn't make it to class today. Oh well.
Then it hit me, it's been a freakin' year ago when I was excited to go to law school. T'was around this time that I found out I'm going to Ateneo Law. It's been a year. I still am excited to be a lawyer but am I excited enough to survive all these things?
Nga pala, I had to correct the misinformation that I wrote a few weeks ago. Anton, my law school ka-love team during OrSem, isn't quitting. He's gonna teach in Ateneo this summer but he won't leave the law school. (Nakahinga ng malalim) Sorry Anton. Ayan, maayos na ang lahat. hehe.
I just found out that one of my fave professors in UP actually has a blog. Mr. Wendell Capili was my Creative Writing 100 prof and he's been in Aussie for (i think) three years now. It's always heartwarming to know that he remembers me. I will never forget his being very accommodating when I hesitantly tried to ask him if he could write a recommendation letter for me. I was gonna use it for an internship I was applying for. T'was through text that i asked him, and he immediately told me to get it from him the next day. Sobrang thankful ako. He really inspired me to continue aiming for my dreams. I will never forget him.Especially when he told me that he sees in my aura that i'm gonna be a celebrity someday. Yehey, I'm counting on it. Basta, I soooooo "heart" him. Kaya I'll be praying na makuha na nya ang PhD nya dahil we need him dito sa Pilipinas to inspire more people.
Buti na lang Friday Night...
Last night, my friends and I went to this forum in Ateneo dubbed as "Military, Democracy and the Law". It was a very interesting forum because it aimed to connect the importance of the military in the chaos that we are in. I have never been a fan of violence, may it be needed or not; there was a even a time when I found myself contemplating on what I would do if I had to kill someone attacking me. I knew that at that moment, I would think twice. I dunno, I guess I just don't like the idea of getting someone hurt, even if it involves self-defense. Anyway, I had fun [how original!] in the forum. Did I just say that? Who in his/her right mind would actually say something like that? Fun at the Forum? argh. I am really transformed.
After the forum, we kind of got confused as to where we're going. We've been going straight home for the past few weeks that i guess we are silently giving each other some signals that WE SHOULDNT BE GOING HOME especially if the FINALS WEEK is just around the corner. Our first option was to go to this CMO Acoustic Night thingy at the LSAC office. But according to reliable sources, t'was over. We ended up with a plan of drinking at GOod Earth. We should've known better, since it's a Friday night, we shouldnt have expected Rockwell to be the "deserted" place that is usually is during normal days. We didnt have a table to go "merry on". That's when we went to Starbucks. No not to drink coffee, we knew we're not gonna spend another Friday night in Stabucks. Can I just say that it made me remember the "BLACK FRIDAY Protest" which I find uhmm, pointless? We were just waiting for a group of people to leave so we can invade err, get their table. But t'was to no avail. Therefore, we went to Grams.
Ok, when I said drinking, it wasnt really the "I'm getting dead-drunk" tonight type of thing. T'was the "WE NEED BEER! COME ON LET' DRINK!" type. Just one bottle and we will be satisfied. Good for us, JV was in a "celebratory mood" so he ordered, Nachos, Onion Rings and Steak n' Fries... ON HIM! woohoo. [guys, ON HIM. He paid for it. Don't imagine him with Nachos, fries and onion rings all over his body, that is GROSS!] You know what's the weird part of it all? We seemed to have lost our ELOQUENCE with beer, so there were lotsa awkwardly silent situations while we were drinking. Kasi naman, ayaw pa sabihin ni Hazel kung sino napupusuan nya. Hehe.
Then we decided that we were sweating like crazy so we went to Starbucks for the Aircon. How bakya no? Pero syempre, something FUNNY had to happen. When we went back to our "reserved couch" there was a gay couple sitting in front of us. Paano ko ba ipapaliwanag? Hmm... kasi un couch was facing the glass wall, and outside that glass wall was another table. I dunno if you guys can imagine how AWKWARD and EMBARRASSING it was for us and more for the gay couple, the only thing that's stopping us from really knowing them is the glass. Parang aquarium ang dating. I swear, I almost died laughing! Basta FUN FUN FUN. Natatawa din sila sa amin kasi obviously, na-conscious kami, na katulad nila ay napapanood din naman nila.
After a few minutes, we got bored so we decided to walk to Ateneo [again] to find out if the party's still on going. Uhmm, wala na. Madilim na. So, nagpagod lang kami.
We bumped pala into Jots on our way home. Mukha syang tulala kasi natapon daw nya un Frap nya. Di parin sya nagbabago, magulo parin at nagtatapon ng mga bagay-bagay. Hehe. Pero t'was great to see him again. Namiss namin sya. Aba. Sayang nga, we coudlnt stay. Well we could, pero pagod na kaming lahat.
Overall, t'was a really great night. Notwithstanding all the booboos.. hmm, It's always nice to goof around. FINALS na alam ko. Err...
After the forum, we kind of got confused as to where we're going. We've been going straight home for the past few weeks that i guess we are silently giving each other some signals that WE SHOULDNT BE GOING HOME especially if the FINALS WEEK is just around the corner. Our first option was to go to this CMO Acoustic Night thingy at the LSAC office. But according to reliable sources, t'was over. We ended up with a plan of drinking at GOod Earth.

Ahh... Quitters.
Japhet went to Starbucks yesterday and well, we got to watch Brokeback Mountain with my Law school peeps. T'was fun, fun, fun. I think it's an ok film. Not the best but it's interesting how ironic the facts are and how heartfelt was the pain the the "wives" of these men had to go through. As usual, we waited for the makeout parts [there's no point in hiding it!] and well, we had to rewind the whole thing because the "contrast" setthings of the projector made the makeout scene soooo dark that all we can make out of it are the moans and well, the physical "game" that were kind of "apparent" in the sound. Interesting, interesting film.
I wish I know how to quit you. Nice. It made remember some quote I read a few years ago...
Astig no?
ANyway, this morning, i went to L'oreal's office with Melo, Haze, Yvie and Shem to be a part of s "focus discussion group" about a new product that Loreal's trying to introduce to the market. It's called Lumi-oil and it's actually a leave-on conditioner that's made for all different hair textures. It's a brilliant idea, because i dont think a single conditioner could actually solve the problems that different hair types have. GOod. Tailor-made ika-nga ni SHem. Then we had lunch at Pizza HUt. Walang punchline, kinukuwento ko lang. hehe.
I miss going online. I dunno, it just helps me a lot to see the bigger perspective wheni get to write the things that are happening to me. It's way better as opposed to not being able to express what i feel and just breaking down in the process. ANg saya.
Mahal ko parin si Chris Daughtry pero si Taylor "gray-haired guy" ay unti-unting kumakatok sa aking puso. Isa syang adorable na nilalang.

Keep It Comin'!
I dont know why the heavens once again conspired to make my life more than miserable... I'm on a row! Well, that's after the good news of my article being published in Inquirer, fate just couldnt give it to me. They just had to do something to make my life go back to P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C. This is the whole story.
1. Just when I was supposed to print my term paper for Logic, I realized that I dont have ink. I was able to buy Ink only to realize that I bought the wrong one. Apperently, because it's been a while since I last bought ink, I forgot that i have a new printer. My "ex-printer" was an EPson Stylus C20Sx but my NEW printer is a Canon Pixma. Isang malaking ARGH!
2. Ok na, I got my "ex-printer" and re-installed it in my PC. After everything, it turned out that my "ex-printer" refuse to work. As in, parang may bad blood kami for my replacing "HIM". Grabe.
3. So I decided to buy na lang ink for my new printer... Keri naman. Kaya lang, there's something wrong with my phone line so I decided to go to a computer shop nearby for some last minute research. But noooooo... The computer shop just had to have a SERVER FAILURE on the only day that i decided to go there..
4. Next computer shop... Apparently, that same day.. a "bug in the system" had to attack the computers. Thus making it impossible for me to search the net. Umuwi na lang ako to continue my printing my logic paper.
5. So there, I was trying to finish everything.. Then KABOOM! Nag-brownout. KAMUSTA NAMAN? Ok lang, sabi ko sa sarili ko.. I'll just print everything, first thing tomorrow.
6. Keri na? Doon ako nagkamali. I woke up very calm.. looking forward to a new day when i found out that my PC CRASHED because of the power failure the other night. Thank you very much. Goodbye Logic Paper! Goodbye pictures, mp3s and argh... Legal Writing Script.
7. Akala ko tapos na. But noooooooooooo.. this was the last straw. I lost my phone. As in it's gone now. I shouldnt have had it repaired sayang lang. Now, I cant surf the net, i dont have phone and uhmm.. I'm a plain loser. Kadiri.
Siguro naman tapos na no? I hope... sobrang i hope.
Looking at the brighter side of things, I got my Logic Midterms Exam and ehem, I got a whoppin' 91. Bwahaha, at least i'm part of the "Top 12". I am expecting another series of unfortunate events since mukhang it's the price I have to pay for a single good news. Ewan.

Walang Masama sa Pagiging Bakla
image from Post Secret"Kahit di ka malambot kumilos, kahit di ka nagma-make up, kahit di ka tumitili... Nasa puso ang pagiging gay." - Rustom Padilla [Pinoy Big Brother]Minahal nya si Carmina. Pero ang pumigil sa kanya ay ang katotohanan na bakla sya. This plot's all too familiar. Pero nanatili ang aking stand. Walang masama sa pagiging bakla, ang masama ay ang maging in denial ka at makasakit ka ng ibang tao in the process.
Tawanan Naman.
Siksik liglig at umaapaw ang mga nakakatawang pangyayari sa aking buhay sa araw na ito.
1. Dumating ako sa Ateneo at dumiretso sa Library upang hanapin si Joan at KC dahil sa aming Logic Paper. Naisip ko na baka nasa Computer room sila at gumagawa ng paper, so tumuloy ako dun. Sinubukan kong hanapin sila sa pamamagitan ng pagsilip sa bintana... YUmuko ako, nag-squint at patuloy na niligid ang aking mata... BUT NOOO!!! Nasa harapan ko pala ay si BSB Crushable love of my life! sa aking palagay ay naweirdohan nanaman sya sakin dahil sa posisyon ko, mukha akong sobrang creepy na stalker. Argh! Thanks a lot.
2. Ces' Statement on Ecstacy.. "Ecstacy? Ok yun, pag-gising mo sa umaga goodbye virginity."
3. Mia's Ranting about guys' inability to distinguish colors... "It's CREEEEEAAAM!" [protesting about the guys' comment that she's wearing an all-white ensemble]
4. Mia parin... "Manong..." [calling our Logic Prof]
5. Nagkamot ako ng ulo sa Logic class... at napagkamalang nagtaas ng kamay. Therefore, I was compelled to recite. Argh.
Ewan ko ba, ewan ko ba.

Bakit ba?!
It's so weird, it seems like today's the day where we will be accused as apathetic elitists. It started in our Oblicon class, while my professor was teasing us as regards our being well-rested she uttered, "It's as if you guys went to the streets. You SHELTERED PEOPLE." Ayun. Then during our LOGIC class, our professor said, "It seems like the students don't care. Nobody has a stand! Palibhasa mga SOSYAL kayo." Uhmm, since when have I become part of the apathetic crowd? I refuse to accept this.
First of all, for the longest time, I've always been against the fanning of the fire that is "rich vs. poor". I still don't think it's the most pertinent point that we should exploit. And besides, I am not even a part of the upper-class, we're the middle-class and we don't aim for the lives of the povery-stricken people to worsen. It hurts me that people perceive us to be "brats."
Also, I felt bothered by Mia's CAB RIDE STORY... She said that the cab driver nonchalantly attacked her being educated by saying, "Kayo kasi, di nyo kami naiintindihan. Palibhasa ganyan kayo..." That's after the cab driver found out that she studied in La Salle and is taking up law in Ateneo. Is is a crime to be not poor? Since when has it become the standard of "love for country"? I am apalled by the amazing turn of events. Why are these judgments being thrown at us?
Hey, I am not an activist in the conventional sense. I went to UP too but I didnt feel like going to the streets simply because I don't believe it's the kind of activity that I could contribute to. I'd rather be accused of being apathetic [because I know that I'm not] than give in to the pressure of being labeled as an activist to satisfy other people's expectations. I never become a part of a system that I dont trust. I have nothing against activists as persons, what I condemn is blind activism. My Logic prof accused me of being a part of a group of people who fell into the trap of being stuck with the "majority". I still think that it's the essence of democracy... It may be true that change "MAY" start from a few small voices, but at the end of the day, we cannot always allow these small but loud voices to dictate what we should do.
The right to expression should never be taken away from us, but when do we stop? When do we draw the line from being a catalyst for change to being monsters of grievances? Let us not make fools out of ourselves.
This is my stand, the question is not whether or not we have other alternatives but it's more about finding the RIGHT WAY to achieve our goal of achieving the betterment of the society. My right way is to continue studying, aiming to become a better person, dreaming of being an entrepreneur in the future and a person who will embody the true strength of a Filipino.
Go on and rally guys. I'll go back to studying and we shall meet on the other end of the road. You maybe right, i maybe wrong... or we maybe both right for continuing to dream.
