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!
Di naman kaila sa buong mundo (thank you BBC and CNN) na binaha ang NCR ng Pilipinas. Sa kaswerte-swertihan ko eh ito nagakaroon ako ng ultimate experience sa baha.
HANGGANG DIBDIB lang naman yung baha sa labas ng bahay namin. So, it really was a water world out there. Thankful lang talaga ako that all the members of my family are safe.
So, ganito yun....
It was a Saturday, around 9:30 am. Papasok na dapat ako ng school, sabi ko pahatid na pero I went to my room to get a jacket pa muna. Thanks to facebook, plurk and twitter medyo na distract lang naman ako ng bonggang bongga, so sagot sagot muna ako ng quizzes. Pareply-reply muna sa posts. Pag baba ko, sabi ko pahatid na... dandandandan!!! baha na sa labas!!!! Ay grabe!!! Yung mga sasakyan (especially my honey baby) eh pinapasok na ng tubig. What we did is to drive the vehicles three streets away from us. Yung mataas-taas na lugar. Tapos, ayun life goes on for me.
So, tralallalala... online ako uli... tralalala....
Nagkataon, I was talking to my friend via ym...make that ranting to my friend via ym kung gaano kabaha sa amin. I asked him kung baha sa kanila, sabi nya hindi naman daw ganon kabaha sa Makati. So, ayun... yada yada... While ranting to him about our situation napatingin ako sa labas ng window ko.. ABA! hanggang bewang na sa labas. Medyo panic mode na ako.. TADAN!!! Nawalan bigla ng ilaw. Walang net connection. Wala lahat!
So, baba na ako. To my surprise, tuluyan na palang pinasok ng baha yung house namin! Wow may pool sa bahay! Mali, WOW buong bahay namin swimming pool na! At dahil masama akong bata, ako lang ang hindi nabasa sa household namin. Lahat sila basa! Yung kapatid ko nga nadulas pa. Sabi ko naman, "So, ilang isda ang nahuli mo?" Anyway.....
Naayos naman lahat ng gamit. Naitaas naman lahat so no problem na.
Akyat na kami sa second floor. At dahil walang kuryente ayun... pinanood na lang namin ang pagka waterworld sa labas ng house. Ito ang water levelling sa amin: Tapat ng house, hanggang dibdib; sa garahe namin, lagpas tuhod; sa loob ng bahay, kalahati ng binti (?). So, may levelling talaga.
At around 11 am, medyo nalulurkei lurkei na ako kasi nga I wasn't able to come to school. Bonggang bonggang text message na ang pinakawalan ko sa mga blockmates ko telling them na may waterworld dito at hindi ako makakapasok yada.. yada..Salamat sa GM na yun, eh naubos lang naman bigla ang load ko. hmmp!
Syempre, at that time we didn't have electricity na so we don't know what was happening... Actually, akala talaga namin, as in buong pamilya namin, eh simpleng ulan lang to. Akala rin namin binabaha lang kami kasi hinuhukay yung daanan dito malapit sa amin. Hence, we had no idea na super duper lala na pala ng mga kaganapan. In addition, lahat ng phones namin nawalan ng signal. Yung landline namin, hindi na rin magamit. We were trapped insode our house, without any means of communication in the outside world. Hence, we were in total isolation from the rest of the world.
Sa totoo lang ang iniisip ko pa rin nun eh kung makakapunta ba ako sa Bar Ops Salubong kinabukasan. I mean, hello?! It's my first time to experience the barops salubong. Hay... yun lang talaga yung iniisip ko. Tapos, syempre iniisip ko rin if I'll be able to make it to my Crim Law Class at 4:30 pm. Papano ung recitation ko sa crim... Hay... yun lang. Dagdag pa dyan, medyo naasar din ako sa MWSS dahil sa hinuhukay nila rito na (inakala kong dahilan ng pagbabaha sa amin.) Yung mga bagay lang na yun yung iniisip ko. Sadly, that's how superficial and self-centered my thoughts were....
So anyway, we spent the night without electricity. Camp in kami sa room ng parents namin. Family bonding at its best kasi we told stories played playing cards. Basta ganun. Mga tipong ganun lang.
Fast forward...
I woke up late na. Pagkagising ko, may power supply na. Wala ng baha, tuyo na yung daan. Mataas na ang sikat ng araw. In short, it's another great day... pero...
Pag open namin ng TV, NAKAKAGULAT! As in super dumbfounded and shocked ako sa nakita ko sa news. It wasn't a simple rain. Nagkaroon pala ng kalamidad. And I should be thankful dahil isang simpleng baha lang ang inabot namin.
Lessons learned:
Wag masyadong self centered. Kung sa tingin mo nahihirapan ka, tumingin ka sa paligid mo. May ibang taong mas nahihirapan kaysa sa'yo.
Be thankful. Always always be thankful.
Sabi nga ni Dory form Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming... swimming... "
Sabi ko naman, If you can't swim then walk. If you can't walk then crawl. Basta, the point is keep on moving. So, yun lang sa lahat ng mga nasalanta. I know that it's easier said than done, pero despite everything... sa mga nakaligtas, keep on moving...pasasaan ba at maibabalik din sa ayos ang lahat.

It turned out that this is one of those days that I can classify as PERFECT DAY! Suuuupppperrrr.... this day is super fun although super tiring din. In fact, the moment na matapos ko tong entry na ito matutulog na ako.
Basta basta, I so love this day. Haha... we are a bunch of law students na gala. We headed to SM Manila for lunch. Haha.. ang lakas ng loob namin na mag-mall kasi last meeting we were already called fro recitation. Hence, we wouldn't be called this meeting. Ah basta ayun, ang fun kasi bonding moments with friends. Actually, we were supposed to watch a movie. TAKE NOTE, we were supposed to watch a movie not for the sake of watching a movie BUT FOR THE SAKE OF SLEEPING INSIDE THE C
Oh well, but in the end we decided to go back to beda na lang and study at the law lib.
What made my day was actually the conversation we had while having lunch at Sbarro. It was about our views about the upcoming elections. Grabe, I like the flow of our discussion.... it's free flowing. Iba-iba pa yung view namin. 'Twas even evident that some people side with GMA, while others with the opposition. Super natuwa ako talaga. Tapos, the good thing about the people I was with was that they already have job experience, so they were able to share severak things... actually, one of them worked for Villar. Basta ayun... I do not want to discuss about that here. Bottomline, ok naman daw si Villar.
I really feel sleepy...
Bukas na lang yug continuation...
Nga pala, i bought my very own fountain pen kanina. I also had my name engraved on it. Grabe, we're supposed to use fountain pen na!!!
love it!

At the intersection of Taft Avenue and Quirino Ave, I witnessed the procession for the burial of our beloved former president.
11: 40 am:
We alighted from LRT 1. We were supposed to go straight to Roxas Boulevard, but since we saw that there was a crowd, allegedly waiting for the convoy, we decided to simply stay in Quirino Ave.
There was a huge banner from Akbayan Partylist that says something like ' Tapusin ang laban, tapusin si Gloria.' I tell you, it was really huge, as in HUGE. Agaw atensyon sya.
12:50 pm:
Vehicles which abviously came from the burial started to pass along Quirino Ave. The convoy of Nazareth engibe-Quiapo passed first. Then, it was followed by the media vehicles. The following are the vehicles of different media group that I took note of: Bombo Radyo, Abs Cbn, GMA, DZRH, EPN Press, Press TV.
Afterwhich, we noticed that helicopter was circulating the area directly above us. Maya-maya, naging dalawa na yung helicopter.
At exactly, 1:14 pm, there were two helicopters that circulated above the Quirino Ave. Area.
1:15 pm:
Vehicle #181 passed along. Please bear in mind that some of the vehicles passing along have Control numbers. This particular vehicle #181 has Mar Roxas inside it. He waved at the crowd and gestured Cory's sign. That particular vehicle has the plate number XHJ565.
1:17 pm:
UMULAN NG CONFETTI from one of the helicopters. Actually, pinulot ko pa yung isang piraso ng confetti. Haha.
1:19 pm:
A person riding a vehicle ( I wasn't able to see its vehicle number) shouted, "Tama!!!" while pointing at the huge sign of Akbayan. What caught my attention after that vehicle passed was a physically challenged man in a wheelchair, wheeling himself as he went on with the procession. He was carrying a sign that says, " Thank you President Cory."
After several people walking and several vehicles came a group of people marching in a 'People Power Way' carrying a banner which says, "Philab Marching Band 1st Revolution Band Feb 24, 1986".
1:22 pm:
Someone shouted, " Mabuhay ang demokrasya! mabuhay"
After someone shouted these words, the convoy that carry the close friends, relatives and officials passed by.
Afterwhich, dumaan yung vehicle ng Heritage Park. It was followed by people, then eight people carrying eight flags. Six of the eight flags have the face of Ninoy.
1:31 pm:
The 'truck' that was carrying the Cory's casket passed in front of me. It was roughly one and a half meter away from it. Actually, we (Karen, Pauline and I), were so close. In fact, if I were to extend my arm and bend a little I could even touch the vehicle. Ganun kami kalapit. I even got the names of the soldiers guarding Pres. Cory's casket. Nakuha ko yung name written in the name plate nila. They were officers Malab and Lagundan. Sayang, hindi ko pa nakumpleto names nila.
The vehicle carrying the casket was still followed by groups and groups of people. In that crowd of people, a grandmother caught my attention. She was walking along with the other accompanied by her (I presume) two grandchildren, who were moset likely at around 8-10 years old. The grandmother was carrying several pieces of the flower Bird of Paradise.
Depite the fact that the casket already passed us by, and instead of moving along with the crowd, we decided to stay where we are and continue documenting the event, by means of jotting down notes and taking pictures.
There was a van while the rest were pink buses that have banners which states, "Maraming salamat sa inyong pagmamahal kay Cory! -Cojuangco, Sumulong and Aquino."
Vehicle #6, a pink bus, passed first. I recognized Mayor Lim of Manila. He was there acknowledging the presence of the crowd while doing the Cory sign.
Vehicle #5, also a pink bus, has Mikee Cojuangco in it.
The rest of the vehicles followed. I cannot say who were in them because I do not know them anymore.
1:33 pm
CT Group which stands for Center for Community Transformation passed in front of us. They were wearing specialized shirts which says, "We love you Pres. Cory." As they were marching, they were also singing "Bayan ko."
After them, The Ateneo students followed.
We then decided to move along and leave the place but before we carried on our way someone shouted as very catchy phrase. It was:
"SINONG BAYANING TOTOO? CORY AQUINO!!!"
Oh I also talked and asked several things from a member of Anakbayan party list. Actually, I wasn't ablt ot get the name of the lady I interviewed first, but she introduced me to Ed Quintana, the 5th District Chairman of Anakbayan. Oh well... so much for that.. moving on...
And so we left the place because the crowd was already moving heading for the Street near Mcdo.
As we were walking by, we saw a small "commotion". We were passing along Pan de Manila and we noticed that people were taking pictures of someone.
1:39 pm
Nagpaulan uli ng confetti.
We also saw who caused the commotion. It was Jun Lozada!
Indeed, all the while that the convoy was passing along, he was there pala. He was in front of Pan de Manila.
I wonder why? How come he wasn't inside any of the vehicles?
hmmmm...
Anyway, this is the end of our encounter with the procession for Pres. Aquino's burial. We then, proceeded to eat lunch at Tokyo-Tokyo.. but that's another story. With regards to the time, it was really like that I was holding my cellphone while jotting down notes of what's happening around me. :D
P.S.
Thanks guys! Ang weird talaga ng mga trippings natin! Last time we were at the museum, this time ito naman. Oh well, I'm glad that I was with you guys when we mourned with the entire Filipino people in this truly sad yet historical moment. 'Yung pictuuuurreeesss!!!! :P

Sa sobrang kulay ng buhay ko, nahagip ako ng sasakyan kanina habang papasok ng La Salle upang magsauli ng toga.
Ayun, masakit paa ko. HUHU. Amfufu. :( Infairness, fun palang "masagasaan". HAHA.
ko!
So, I reached La Salle at around 11:30 am. Tama nga sila, mahirap ang parking dito. HAHA. So, I parked near metro bank, yung malapit sa SEX at sa Engineering gate. Papa tawid ako. Pinahinto naman ni kuya lahat ng sasakyan. Tapos, biglang may nag-overtake na FX sa mga nakahintong sasakyan. Ayun, muntik ako talagang masagasaan. Pero nahagip pa rin yung hind part of my right leg. Amfufu namang driver yun, sinira nya yung sandals ko!!! HUHUHU. Medium sized yung wound, the nurse at the clinic used an entire gauze to cover up my wound. Mabuti na nga lang at hindi tuluyang nasira yung sandals ko kanina, It somehow covered up the size of the gauze, so hindi pa rin masyadong halata.
So, since makulay nga talaga ang buhay ko, aba, may escort ako papuntang clinic. May instant taga-bitbit ako ng isasauling toga. :D I was supposed to be in a wheelchair, pero HELLO naman nakakalakad pa ako noh!? Plus, kamusta naman siguro ang campus parade nun, in a wheelchair. To make things more interesting, nakasalubong ko lang naman ang mga APP people. Actually, it's not really in my plan to go see any of them , but since ayun na nga, eh di sabi nga ni Jarvis, "gora na teh!" HAHAHA. Eventually, I ate lunch with four friends. Sadly, a friend of mine also lost her phone. :( San nga kaya napunta yun?
Since, I was with the APP people na nga, I decided to get my stuffs na from the office. However, medyo matagal pa akong naghintay to get my things since the person who has the key to my former locker had to attend to a meeting pa. So, ayun ikot-ikot muna sa campus (partida, injured ako. HAHAHA).
But I guess the best part was when I met the newbies. Amfufufuffuuffuu. HAHAHAHHAHAHA....Pinagtripan nila ko!!! Kamusta naman ang paulit-ulit-ulit-ulit-ulit-ulit-ulit-uli
Going back to Beda, pagpasok ko ng room, syempre mega kwento ako sa friends ko, on what happened to me. Since hypermode nga ako, and medyo napalakas boses ko, kamusta naman ang reaction ng buong klase. AHAHAAAHA. They were like, "that's culpa! culpa!" Someone even asked, "so what's your plan of action?" But what really touched me the most was when someone told me to take care of myself. BWHAHAAHAHA... nag-arrive sya kasi na everytime we have Criminal Law1 as a subject, eh, may nangyayari sa akin. HAHAHA. The first account was when I met a vehicular accident, and now ito naman. BENTA yung conclusion nya. AHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!
Talk about frats, naabnormal kami kaninang magkakaklase and decided to talk about frat initiation rights! HAHHAA. Madugo. We also talked about Rizal being a member of freemason. I really do not knwo if it's true, I still need to verify it but it's interesting.
i feel so sleepy na. I just arrived home from class eh. Pansin ko lang, super diary ko na tong blog na to.
Oh well, criminal law uli bukas. I guess I should just take the LRT or pahatid na lang.
Despite the "accident" natutuwa pa rin ako at nabangga ako ng FX kanina. HELLO?! Super unique kaya nun?! haha.

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.

I feel so sad. It was decided. I won't be attending the graduation ceremony rites practice on the 15th and after the graduation rites on the 18th, I'd have to go directly to Beda to attend class. I mean, immediately after having lunch. :( It's just sad that I cannot even enjoy a supposedly fun and momentous day!
BUT I don't regret my decision. Sabi nga Ruskin, "mahuhuli tayo masyado if we do not attend Usita's class. Papano kung magpa-quiz sya? zero tayo." Ayaw ko naman ng ganun...Super hirap humabol. GC kung GC pero this is survival. I have to learn to LET GO. MOVE ON.
Grabe. Ang lakas kasi ng tama sa akin nung Legal Profession na subject. Sabi ngani Villareal, "The study of law is not an easy task but is rather a serious and difficult matter. It entails a great deal of sacrifice, efforts and expense."
This is just a small sacrifice. Mas maraming sakripisyo pa akong ibibigay. I know it and I'm prepared for it. Simple nga lang ito as compared to others eh. 'Yung iba, they have to let go their loved ones (meaning gfs and bfs) because of the lack of time. It would be unfair for the other party din kasi. :(wala lang... nagdrama kasi yung isa kong classmate sa akin kanina. :D
So anyway, I know I can do this.
According to Villareal again, " The secret of law study is to LOVE IT."
P.s . I might go mon hiatus... MIGHT. Haha... i'll see you after four years! :D

It's true that the study of law makes your life simple.
you read or sleep.
pass or fail.
QPI or significant other.
house or school
yun lang. sobrang simple ng buhay ko ngayon. bahay-eskwela.
study table or kama.
readings or more readings.
simple pero PAMATAY.
no exaggeration, sobrang pamatay talaga.
ni hindi ako makakain ng matino. Imagine, ako?! hindi makakain ng matino?! end of the world na yata.
ni hindi ako makatawa or makangiti o makadaldal ng sobra.
kaharap ko readings or cases or codals or computer dahil sa cases pa rin.
this blog is the only active account i have. soon, i might have give this up na rin...
SUPER SHOCK.
parang ano to?! anong nangyayari sa mundo? ito ba ang haharapin ko for the next 3 more years?
can I survive this?
day3. ang dami kong na realize. ang daming nabago. ang bilis ng pagbabago. parang lahat ng oras pinnaghihinayangan ko na. sa halip na matulog, magbabasa na lang ako. sa halip na kumain, magmememorize na lang ako. sa halip na mag-text, magsusulat na lang ako. sa halip na mag movie, mag-aaral na lang ako. super!!!!!!! sa halip na mag-blog, babalik na lang ako sa pagbabasa uli ng readings ko... chobs! ayaw kong iwanan kaagad ang pagba-blog because as much asa possible i want to leave a trace about how i go about this journey. kaya kahit puro rants at kasabawan pinagsasasabi ko. go pa rin ako rito! kaso nga lang, time consuming to... :( sana i'll have enough time para maisingit ko pa rin to...
kulang ako sa oras eh akin na lang oras mo, please? :P
day3. namatay ako kanina. hindi ako naka-survive sa death threat. tinamaan ako ng bala. I had my own share of kodak moment.
less than 24 hours. 10 cases to digest. 4 chapters to read. almost 700 pages. one grand question. one wrong word, then you're out. dead. wala na. game over. see you next time sa recit.
limang oras lang itinulog ko. paputol-putol pa. tapos ganun?! sumakit kamay ko kakasulat kasi closed book dapat. tapos ganun.
ah, basta....

**Drinking wine is more than just drinking. You have to know what you are drinking and you have to be able to talk about it. Similarly, just living life is not enough. We must know what we are living. A life that is not reflected upon isn't worth living.
**We have to live our life, not someone else's. We have to dare to say: "This is my life, the life that is given to me, and it is this life that I have to live, as well as I can. My life is unique. Nobody else will ever live it."
**We drink from the same cup, that the cup of sorrow is also the sup of joy, that precisely what causes sadness can become the fertile ground for gladness.

Kaya nga kahit minsan parang wala nang saysay yung mga pinagsususulat ko rito o kaya naman wala nang saysay yung mga nilalagay kong everyday experiences dito, itinatala ko pa rin. Kasi naman, ayaw kong makalimutan yung mga simpleng bagay na nangyari sa buhay ko. Naniniwala kasi ako na pagdating ng panahon, magbabalik tanaw ako sa mga tila walang kasaysaysay o kakwenta-kwentang bagay na narito. Pag dumating yung panahon na yun, atsaka ko lang maiintindihan na may saysay naman pala ang mga naganap sa buhay ko. hay... sabaw na naman ako.
*****************
Kanina sa school, super pagod ako. As in super duper mega over to the next level ang pagod ko. I mean define ikutin ang campus ng ilang ulit. Dinaig ko pa yung mga nag-aaply sa Animo squad... haha... nagpabalik-balik lang naman ako sa mezzanine ng LS, 4th floor ng SPS, 5th floor ng SPS, IMS sa library, eng walk, at miguel walk!!! define grand tour of the campus! naku lang. nonetheless, natuwa ako sa aking mini adventure. hay... things like this... things like this... experiences like this one.. hindi matatawaran. haha... kaya nga though this is seemingly unimportant for now, alam ko in the future i'll make sense of this experience! ahaha... gagawin ko 'tong joke. ok, labo na.
Ayan, naiwan ko pala yung notepad ko sa drinking fountain. kaka-ym lang sa akin ni aly! grabe lang! buti na lang talaga! ahaha.. super important contacts pa naman yung andun. Hay... super sabaw ko na kac talaga kanina. Oh well, lagi naman akong sabaw. thanks aly!
Another kasabawan: We should always have great appreciation for things. Hay.. oftentimes we take for granted small things. Buti nga tayo (at least sa pagkakaalam natin) mahaba pa yung buhay natin. Eh yung mga cancer patients, may taning na yung life nila. Grabe talaga, nasasabaw ako... napagtutuunan ko ng pansin pati yng mga cancer patients. Eh kasi naman, totoo naman di ba? Karamihan sa atin araw-araw puro reklamo, lagi na lang nating kinakalimutan that instead of being thankful for the life we have, puro reklamo. Konting pagod lang reklamo agad. Kongting init lang reklamo agad. Hay... nakakaiyak kasi talaga yung mga cancer patients eh... hay.. hay.. sila lagi nilang pinagdarasal na sana humaba pa yung buha nila. Sana marami pa silang magawa, pero tayo (ako) puro reklamo. Is it that hard to be thankful? Hay...
Kaya nga from now on, mas ok na laging maging thankful...
-kung may problema ka, magpasalamat ka dahil may kailangan kang lutasin. Oh di ba 'di boring ang buhay mo?!
-kung ma late ka, magpasalamat ka pa rin kasi on the way ka na sa papasukan mo. yung nga lang late ka na!
-kung wala ka nang pera, be thankful uli kasi buhay ka pa at pwedeng magkaroon ng pera sa mga susunod na araw!
-kung may umaaway sa'yo, maging super thankful ka! Kasi, nagsasayang sila ng panahon , sa'yo?! oh di ba nga time is gold. Eh di parang binigyan ka na rin nila ng ginto because they are spending their time throwing stones at you! ahaha...
-kung maraming readings, dapat magpasalamat kasi may pagkakataon kang magbasa!
ok tama na. super sabaw na to. napaka-uncoherent na ng entry na 'to! worng grammar pa yata yung iba! ahhaahaha...
oh well paper... basta dapat lagi tayo dapat magpasalamat sa lahat lahat!

Hay.. at kamusta naman ang Jollibee sa may kanto, ni hindi man lang naapektuhan! Hahaha bentang-benta nga kasi, yung kapatid ko hindi nagpaawat. Nagpunta sa Jollibee ng mag-isa.
Tapos. No electiricty day became a bonding day for the family! Yey! Super blessing in disguise ito! Ahaha... grabe. instead na ako magpakalunod sa readings at ang kapatid ko magpakaunod sa kanyang PSP. Aba, nakibond kami sa aming mga magulang! haha... define masaya ang parents! Haha... kasi naman, nung mag brown out wala kaming nagawa kung hindi ang lumabas sa kanya-kanyang kwarto at mag stay sa sala. So, in the end kung anu ano na lang yung pinaggagawa ng family namin. Tapos napagtripan pa naming manggambala ng delivery people! ahaha... umuulan, humahangin, tawag kami para magpa-deliver kaso na cancel yung order! ahaahha... basta ang saya! pero ang gulo! Ahaha...wala nga kaming matinong pinag-usapan ng family ko eh. Parang puro joketime. Tapos inaaasar ako ng kapatid ko kasi raw hindi ko na nasusunod yung supposed diet ko. Mukha na naman daw letter U yung mukha ko! waaaahhh... totoo naman kasi! ahahaha...
In relation to that, walang patawad ang nanay ko sa pagluluto, parang pinaluto niya lahat ng nasa ref kasi baka raw masira dahil walang kuryente. In the end, ayun ang daming sumobra! Oh well, pwede namang i-replay ang ulam! ahahaa... grabe. ang sabaw sabaw ko tuloy ngayon. Tapos, kaninang madaling araw, nasasabaw ako kasi hindi ko alam kung may pasok. Lowbatt naman ang cell ko, kaya as in totally walang communication to people. Naisip ko nga, di ko pala kakayanin ang ganon?! Nasasabaw ako sa kakaisip kung ano na nag nagaganap sa outside world.
Oh well, may kuryente na uli.Take note, kaka-restore lang ng electricity dito sa aming street. Di ko nga matagalan ang pasensya ng mga tao rito eh. I mean, ako kahapon pa ako hindi mapakali dahil tanging ang street na lang namin yung wala pang ilaw. Aba naman ang iba, parang chill lang sila. Adnd when I say iba, I mean kasama rin ang parents ko.
ilang beses kong inulit-ulit sa mom ko. Sabi ko, "Ma, tawag ako sa MERALCO, tayo na lang yung wala pang ilaw."
Sabi nya, " Maghintay ka, magkakailaw din."
Naku po!!! Grabe lang. Hay naku, Meralco ang laki-laki nyo maningil.... haha... grabe, lahat tuloy napapansin ko, kasi naman!!!
Tapos kagabi habang nakikinig sa AM radio gamit ang emergency batteries, naku nakakaasar yung isang announcer. Super rude nya! Ganito kasi yun. may mga taong tumatawag dun sa AM radio station to air their sides, basta yung mga nanghihingi ng tulong, nagpapaabot ng panawagan na wala pa silang kuryente, and stuff... Tapos may isang caller na nagsabing, "wala pa po kaming kuryente rito sa amin, panawagan naman po sa Meralco." Aba naman, ang sagot nung announcer, " so paki ko?" NAKU LANG! nakaka-high blood. Imagine. On air yung radio program tapos sumagot ng ganon yung announcer. I mean, ok fine baka pagod na rin yung host nung radio program but that doesn't give him the right to be rude to the callers. Grabe lang! Ayun, pinatay ko tuloy yung radyo.
Tapos, kaninang 5:30 am panic mode na ako. Akala ko kasi may pasok. Take note, patay phone ko at we still have no electricity. So, hinanap ko yung DLSU planner ko last year, kasi andun yung contact number ng school. Tapos tawag ako, buti na lang yung greeting ay " Welcome to De La Salle University-Manila. Please be inforned that there are no classes today."
Ayun. Natulog na uli ako.
But wait!
Hindi na ako makatulog. That's why... mabaliw-baliw ako sa gagawin ko kaninang umaga. Nakakatamad namang magsimula ng school work lalo na't nasa net yung gagawin mo.
Hay.. kaya naman, super joyful joyful joy ang world ko nang magkakuryente!
Super habang kababawan entry na naman. Ahahhaha...

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...
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.
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.
