hello net! ang tagal mong nawala!
fast blog lang. next time na yung full blast entry. busy ako.

right now, very few things could make me feel really really happy. isa na dun yun plaridel. formerly known as top four, now known as the tough four.
pinatibay ng mga karanasan sa plaridel. heartaches and all.

basta. yun.
super ligaya ko. i'm glad i went to the interview for the upcoming homecoming.
i missed them.
kung may isang bagay man akong babalik-balikan at aalalahanin parati, isa na sila yun.

thank you, tough four.

now, back to my own little world na naman.
back to reality.

P.S.
APP, go for the gold in SPO Cup!

"what happened, happened... let it go. " -- anonymous (I just forget the name of the person who said it :D)

I thought that I am all about this new endevour. I thought I was over and that nothing matters in the past. For me, it was all part of history but I was wrong. I didn't expect myself to react the way I reacted when I saw the video presentation for Bayan during the recently concluded newbies' orientation. I didn't come to the orientation but I was able to watch the vid presentation for the section where I used to belong into. Solid three years. You just cannot take that away easily. Two years of  nonstop solid writing for the said section (never akong nagpahinga kahit isang buwan, even when I lost the eb race I still made sure that I was the one to revise the 'for placing' draft) and three months of acting as 'bantay' for the section. It's not easy to let go... wala lang. I met a lot of people in Bayan. I was really touched lang with the presentation. A feeling cannot be explained. My college life was dedicated to the publication. It really was. I don't know why I feel so senti but I just feel this way... I cannot explain it.

More than the people, it was really the cause of the publication that got me. People come and go, but the cause of the publication, it stays. Admittedly, there were times when I just want to stop writing and just focus on my academics and just live my life. Indeed there were times when I simply want to quit, especially those times when things weren't going well. Did you know that I almost lost my chance of being in the honor role during the first term of AY 2008-2009? I almost failed a subject. According to my own computations, I was supposed to fail it. I got the lowest GPA in my entire college life. But at the end of the day, I always tell myself, if I walk away from this cause, then who would stay to finish all of these? Perhaps this attitude or mindset came from the time when I was just a newbie in my dear section, the time of Ate Kring. There were only a few of us who really write and support our editor back then... Wala lang...I was just really touched by the vid presentation lang... seeing the faces of those people who came and who went away, it really is a cycle of life. This year, my dearest section would be celebrating its 10th year anniversary. Hopefully, everything would go well...

I was just really surprised with my reaction. i just need to write it down here.
To the one who made the presentation, if you are reading this, thank you. Thank you for loving the section. Thank you for making me see the faces of the people I worked with. No one was left behind. Every picture was there. Everyone was included, although some did not have their solo pics (but of course, that's understandable, lack of time, the presentation was loonng). I know that, perhaps, you love it more than I do. Sacrifices were made, friendships were ended, but at the end of the day, BAYAN survived.

Love really has ways that logic cannot explain.

Ice Cream

I was supposed to write an entry about my adventures and misadventures. Marami kasing nangyari ngayong araw na 'to. But when I opened my inbox, I received an email about a father's death. Nakakalungkot. Hindi naman talaga ako close dun sa taong namatayan, but then isa siya sa mga kuyang inabutan ko sa organisasyong kinalakihan ko. Nakakalungkot lang talaga na may ganun. I sincerely extend my condolences to him and his family. Nakakalungkot lang talaga that something like that should happen. Ewan ko, ganun lang talaga yata...

"Did you ever wonder? Why people gather when others die? Why people feel they should?
It is because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn’t just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed."

Siguro, kakain na lang ako ng ice cream.
 

A Trip To Neverland

  • Dec. 23rd, 2008 at 8:56 PM
This entire thing will soon be over... the trip to neverland will soon end. So, I guess the best thing to do right now is to spend all my time with "the lost boys" and all the "magical creatures" around.

A  little more pixie dust...

Br. Armin then, talked about the four points that define leaders. Those four points are:

1.) Leadershp is about washing the feet. In other words, leaders should be humble enough to serve. Leaders aren't the ones being served, instead they are the ones who serve.
2.) Leadership is about finding the lost sheep. A leader shouldn't be satisfied with the people around him. As much as possible, it'll be better if a leader could reach out to others and unite all.
3.) Leadership is not about competiton, it is about bringing everyone at the table. It is about sharing wisdom with everyone else though there are variations. This is because true wisdome comes from the differences in opinion. In short, a leader should be able to let everybody speak their minds and be heard. 
4.) Lastly and perhaps the most importan point of all, leadership is about commitment. And with commitment comes sacrifices and scars. Br. Armin said that one would only be recognized as a leader if he has scars to show, because it is through the scars of a leader that committment is realized.

Last Week. This Week.

  • Jun. 21st, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Last week:

Super saya ng oathtaking sa Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament sa La Salle Building! I was with my ESA -mates, unfortunately  we weren't complete because some officers had their LASARE3. The highlight of the event was when Br. Armin talked about leadership. He told us what a leader is supposed to be like. He said that upon getting into the position you want, it's okay to celebrate. He further expound on this by saying that, " there's nothing wrong with getiing drunk but one must be careful on being too much drunk with authority." He warned us about being too high with the authority we now have in our hands. He said, "Do not get drunk with power and authority because those who get drunk are the ones who loose their commitments".  Wow. totoo nga. ahaha...

Wow. Grabe si Br. Armin. Then, the next speaker was Br. Oca. Uhmm... hinananpan nya kami ng rosary! Ahahah.... he said that a true Lasallian always has his rosary with him. Naku lang! naging laughtrip because only a few of us had La sallian rosaries!

Actually, in the said event I was surprised to see some of my APP mates, nakalimutan ko media nga pala ang APP so they have to be there to cover the event. I was just so happy! ahaha... andun pa talaga cla Kuya Ton and Kuya Pipo. Haha.. it's like a happy reunion for me. Imagine, on one hand I have my ESAmates then on the other I also have my APPmates! ahaah...it's so saya!

This Week:

Sa French class nung Thursday:  As usual, tagild na naman ako sa pronounciation. Huhuhu... when will be the time that i'll be able to pronounce French words correctly?! I so want that "tres bien" comment by Sir Julius!!! But then, after the French class, we had "kwentuhan" with Sir Julius. Actually, hindi naman talaga ako nagsalita dahil hello lang?! I was still brooding about my kapalpakan in pronounciation. haha... I was just there to listen to all the stories which by the way involved the favorite classmate of the batch! ahaha... I thought hindi pansin ni Sir yun, pero he was the one who brought up the topic. Naku lang! Basta, I was just laughing along. Pigil na pigil nga yung tawa ko kasi ayaw ko namang makarma! Ahahaha... but can't help but laugh lang talaga!

Yesterday naman, I went to school to attend the LASARE# orientation with my blockmates. At last, we'll be having our last Lasare! haha.. It's like a block reunion, however there were some who weren't ablr t enroll in our section. How sad... haha... nonetheless, my blockmates and I were almost a block! Ahaha... Medyo na sad nga lang kami, because we'll be having our LASARE3 in Silang Cavite. We want to have it pa naman sa Tagaytay!!! no!!!! hahaha... I can't wait for LASARE3! 

Also yesterday, I went to the office to help Earl interview the newbies for Bayan. I also helped Nice in interviewing some Sports applicants. Tapos, I helped Aiyu decorate the bulletin board. Hahaha... nakakatuwa yung kulay! Basta, I enjoyed the day especially the talent portion. Laging masaya sa opisina kapag recruitment period. I mean, though there were problems *ehem*, hindi pa rin talaga matatawaran yung saya ng pag-welcome, pag-interview, at pagpili ng mga aplikante. 
Yesterday while I was in the office, it felt like nothing has really changed. No matter what problems may arise. No matter what happens, masaya pa rin sa Plaridel. The sunny dispositions of most of the people there shine through pa rin. Hahaha... I hope that evrything will be fixd ans settlled soon.

Tapos nun, nag-panic mode naman kami ni Kuya Raffy because of the CSO forms we have to submit before 4 pm. Naku lang! hahah...but at least we were able to submit it. hahaha...

Today:
I slept almost all day, that's why it's only now that I am posting this. Tapos, pagkagising ko pa may slight fever ako. So kamusta naman ang mga plano ko for the day. Everything was canceled lang naman and I ended up in front of the computer. 



A World of Our Own

  • Jun. 8th, 2008 at 12:12 PM
I just realized na super may sariling mundo ako at ang mga coursemates ko. Now that I'm starting be absorbed in the ISE World, ang daming naiiba. Before, laging APP people mga kasama ko. People from different colleges with different courses. Ngayon, kahit sa bagong org ko puro ka-course ko na yung mga nakakasalamuha ko. We always do the same things. We have the same worries. Pansin ko lang talaga... ibang-iba ang mga worries namin from the others. I guess mas nakaka-relate na ako sa kanila... haha... 

Anyway, natutuwa lang kasi ako dun sa OPERATION PAHINGA KAMAY. Haha... magtutulungan kaming mag- note taking ng mga coursemates ko. As in we'll designate articles to different people. Haha.. no one survives ISE alone. Kailangan talaga matutong makipagtulungan.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************
 I watched Hercules sa Disney Channel kanina. Wala lang... natutuwa lang ako kasi nag-enjoy ako sa movie. Pansin ko lang, lagi akong natutuwa sa mga bagay-bagay. Haha...

And feelings also change...

  • Jun. 7th, 2008 at 11:18 PM
 It's  funny how things change in such a short span of time. The things that I value three months ago seem to loose their importance in my life. Ang bilis ng pagbabago. Kahapon, I did the things I use to do in the publication. I did the usual drafting.. I hanged out at the office and talked to people. I even spent lunch and dinner time with them. Pero iba na yung feeling. I felt no bitterness towards anyone, but at the same time, I didn't feel anything special at all. Parang wala lang, parang wala na lang. Ang naging dating sa akin, parang I was just there to finish the things I needed to do. I don't know what to make out of this experience because I'm really puzzled kung bakit ganon ang naging pananaw ko. I should have at least felt anything. I should have at least felt either happiness or sadness or whatever. Pero yun nga, wala lang. Parang ok lang. Sakto lang. Haha.... even the "chismis" in the org didn't heighten my interest. Yesterday, I was just there. I was simply there. I listened to complaints of people and tried to symphatize by also airing my side. I even "complained" pero deep down, parang wala lang sa akin yung complaint na yun. So, I guess I moved on na... haha..I was surprised sa sarili kong reponse to what's happening around me. Yesterday, there wasn't any drop of enthusiasm in me. Wala! Wala! Wala! I missed the people, I really did, but other than that wala na.... cguro kung dati ko pa narinig yung mga "chismis" na yun about the org, mangunguna pa ako sa pagrereact pero yesterday super wala lang. Parang naisip ko, so what? I mean, so what naman kasi talaga kung ganito si ganun or ganun si ganito, or may galit si ganito kay ganun or may conflict cla ganito at ganun. So what naman kasi kung may milagrong naganap kina ganito at ganun during an out of town event. So what naman kung naka-lock ang door. Parang nasa isip ko, matatapos din yan. Parang, so what lang sa lahat ng marinig ko. Haha.. parang ang sama ko tuloy...
I guess, it's like a wake up call to me... Parang realization na I can really handle being apart from something I used to be a part of. Wow. But then, yun nga I still have my duties, which I want to finish. A writer doesn't talk, he writes. Labo na nito, incoherent at ununified haha... gumagabi na kasi kaya nasasabaw na ako. Anyway, ito nga sinusubukan kong magdrama, pero wala pa rin. Total indifference about the topic. I still care about their situation, but I don't care that much na. Hay... it's kind of "frustrating" (though antok lang talaga ang nararamdaman ko sa ngayon) because I want to care, but I simply cannot bring myself to care that much anymore.

Nakakaantok na.

Patience is a virtue. 

grabe lang. nakakalimutan ko nang maging mapagpasiyensya. The older I get, the less patient I become na dapat hindi naman. When I entered college I could read a reading ng three to four times, kahit paulit-ulit but then nung mag majors, kahit na maiksi lang ang ibang readings (take note, yung iba lang) hindi ko pa magawang maulit basahin. 

When I was in first year college, I could stay up until 4 am just so I could finish doing my advance study for my subjects. In short, I don't cram nor procastinate. Ayun nga, I used to do advance study. But then, upon entering my second year sumobrang tamad ko--procastinate dito, cram doon. Trying hard to be a perfectionist nauuwi rin naman sa cramming!!! In short, super gulo ng study habits ko. Wala na akong patience sa mga bagay bagay. Ang bilis kong magsawa at ma bored, as compared noong mas bata pa ako. Labo na ng entry na ito...

Anyway, I'm supposedly writing an entry about the Yearend Teambuilding of APP. But then, parang ayaw ko na lang. It was indeed memorable but there are certain things that I wouldn't want to remember. Haha... ibaon na lang natin sa limot yun mas ok pa. Or perhaps, some other time na lang kapag naisip ko na how am I supposed to write it here without sounding so sad or basta basta...grabe lang talaga kasi. I was referring to the "incident" that we, APP pips, witnessed. Accidents happen, but then it's not everyday that a person gets to see how one says byebye to this world... Hay... if there's one thing that really made a mark on me this yearend that's really the "incident".

Dapa. More Fairy Wings. Intramuros. Asukal.

  • Apr. 16th, 2008 at 12:04 AM
DAPA.
Masakit madapa. 
Literal. Masakit talagang madapa. Grabe lang.  Kanina as I was walking with Avis carrying things (eto mahirap sa org na walang guys eh, kami-kami magbubuhat ng stuff namin) going to Kassel condominium, nadapa ako! Naman. ang masakit pa nito I fell down in front of my friend's crush namely *toot* (haha... kilala mo na kung sino ka, I already told you!). Basta nakakahiya talaga!!! But the good thing was that it was only the three of us who were there. He helped me stand up, while Avis was like super worrying. Grabe lang. Pero ayun, na-realize ko na masakit pala talaga ang madapa. In fact, nasugatan pa nga ako at hindi pa ako nasusugatan uli for the longest time. Super sakit grabe, sa palad pa ako nasugatan buti nga hindi ganon kalaki yung sugat. Pero, pinasukan ng itsy bitsy tiny bato yung hand ko. Kaya yun after lagyan ng alcohol sa place ni Avis, we went to the clinic para ipagamot, only to find out that YJ was there (because I saw her signature in the clinic logbook), siya naman humingi ng ice for her hand din yata na masakit din because she together with Vyn brought the fairy wings to Vyn's place. Mabigat din yun! So, ayun na nga.. medyo injured kami. Haha... ano ba 'tong pinasok ko start pa lang sugat-sugat na ako. Oh well, I'd rather be hurt physically rather than be hurt emotionally...

FAIRY WINGS.
"I do believe in fairies, I do! I do!" I really hope that our fairy wings would work out come LPEP. Grabe lang I can't contain my excitement!

INTRAMUROS.
After the dapa incident, I parted ways with the ESA people because they stayed for the org accreditation. I fixed myself and dressed up for the Gawad Efren. Haha... I'm supposed to take a cab alone going to Intramuros where the event would take place. Luckily, I stumbled upon Sam and Jason. So, ayun we went together na lang, tapos nakasalubong pa namin si Gen kaya lalong ayun, sabay- sabay na kami. 

I don't know what would I feel or what I'm supposed to feel this Gawad. Let go? Kasi tapos na. I mean, honestly though the contract is until May, ang Gawad talaga ang nagsi-signify that it's the end na. It is in Gawad where the new EB members are formally introduced. Tapos na talaga. But then, as said by one of the speakers ( I can't remember if it's Ate Karla, Kuya JC, or Mr. Laylo) "it's not the position that matters..." I know that. Alam ko talaga yun. My term as a manager may be over, my term as an EB member may have come to its end, pero manunulat pa rin ako. Plaridel pa rin ako. Alam ko yun. Next school year, I'd still write articles though I won't be that active dahil nga senyor na ako. Bottom line, I'd still be here for Plaridel. Pamilya ko sila sa La Salle. Sila talaga yun. I just hope that next school year, ganun pa rin sila sa akin. People change. Circumstances change. Things change. Lahat nagbabago. If there's one thing that I'd never want to change, it's the family orientation of APP. Yun talaga yun. I do hope and pray that OHANA would apply in APP. OHANA MEANS FAMILY. FAMILY MEANS NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND OR FORGOTTEN. I like the nobody gets forgotten part. haha... kasi naman I fear that they might forget me once they don't see me in the office anymore. Haha... labo lang. 

Moving on, I was really touched by the flowers. I know that there would be flowers given to the editors, pero ang hindi ko alam kasama pala kami. I was actually thinking that it was a last minute decision to include us in the "flower giving ceremony". I mean... wala lang. Just let it pass haha... anyway, na touch lang talaga ako sa flowers especially the one given by Aiyu. Ganun lang yata talaga. 

ASUKAL.
As I was typing this entry may isang tao na nangungulit sa YM (you know who you are). Magtawagan daw kami ng sweet kaya sabi ko asukal. haha... grabe lang, ang panget noh?! asukal.

Pixie Dust

Irish faeries. Pixie dust. Peter Pan.

I can't wait for the upcoming LPEP 2008 because we (my ESA orgmates) will be appearing as Irish faeries!!!
I'm super excited. Actually, we were all SUPER excited. In fact, we've started preparing the materials for the booth today. We first had an EB meeting, ate luch together, and then we started doing our props. Ang saya, saya! I never thought that today will be a great day! I really enjoyed making fairy wings... haha.. yup, handmade lang yung fairy wings. Most of us simply want to buy already made sets of wings, but then YJ insisted that we should have it handmade. So, we gave in na rin. Buti na lang, nag-give in kami! Haha... ang saya talagang gumawa ng fairy wings. At first nahihirapan kami, the first wing even looked like a butterly's wings. But then, Avis took charged of molding the wings. Haha... nagulat ako, I thought she was girly, hindi pala masyado. Zam and I were in charge of putting colored paper on the wings. The rest, attached garters so that we could wear them. Actually, hindi pa namin tapos yung wings. May continuation pa tomorrow. Wala lang super excited lang talaga ako for the upcoming LPEP. Haha.. excited ako because I want to wear the wings we made! (how babaw!) Anyway, ayun we played charades din & Pinoy Henyo. Basta ang saya saya lang talaga ng day na 'to. Hopefully the upcoming days would be as fun as this one!

*******************************************************************************************************************************

Diwata. Pamilya. Pidel.

Na-miss ko talaga ang Plaridel. Kanina umakyat ako kanina sa office. Wala lang haha... di ko kasi matiis na hindi i-check ang APP office lalo na't nasa CSO office lang ako. Ang lamig forever sa office. Nakita ko rin kanina si Kuya JC, Ate Kring, Ate Nica, Ate at Ate Karla. Syempre, andun din yung iba pang APP people. Grabe, miss ko talaga ang APP. Mami-miss ko talagang mag-residency. haha... anyway, ayun super excited na rin ako sa yearend! Yey!!! KANDILA!!!
Buti nga umakyat ako kahit one hour lang kasi, kung hindi hindi ako makakapunta sa Gawad Efren Abueg. Naman kasi, akala ko sa isang araw pa yun. Bukas na pala! Tsk...Tsk... ito na naman ako sa sakit kong no sense of time haha...na-miss ko talaga ang APP.

*******************************************************************************************************************************

There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last

There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today
