2A2 Christmas Party plus Paskuhan 2008 : )

The paskuhan 2008 day is definitely memorable, with all the events that happened on that day, nothing could be comparable to the experience of those fantastic GREEN games that we played there and also, what more can be more fun than drinking lots of alcohol to end a natural year.

It's been 3 years that I haven't attended any xmas party, plus 3 years of not drinking alcohols, I am really dumbfounded to see myself gulping 10 cups (200 ml each) of GSM blue and Lambanog plus sprite mixture. After those 10 cups, they are not just shots, and also note that each cups are toasted till dry not just a little sips per time, my face turned extremely red, but thanks goodness that I haven't turned tipsy or drunk, which I fear that I might blurt out lot of things. But still, after the 10th cup I was able to stop myself from drinking, I feared that drinking more might put me into a deep sleep at Angeline's gym, as well as to miss the Paskuhan fireworks display. But one thing that I really appreciated is the ability of the two girls who drinked with me, one was able to drink a shot less than mine while the other was able to drink 2 shots more than mine without even turning a little bit red.

But I was really hoping that I would be really drunk that I can tell a lot of story that a person awake might find awkward to speak to another person, but I was not able to reach that point because I controlled my drink... because the alcohol, 4 bottles of Or.Gy plus 1 bottle of GSM was put to empty by the three of us. But I still hope that the next time I'd be drinking, I'll be reaching that saturation point such that I can say it out without feeling of awkwardness and guilt.

After about 2 hours after the drinking session, I was already back to myself without any red pigmentation around my face, I together with those who remained to chat at the gym went back to UST already to start and enjoy the Paskuhan. And there I met Jannelyn.

I together with Jannelyn and Ezekiel went off to a walking tour around the University, and we decided not anymore to fill up the long line just waiting for the food be served for FREE through food coupons, we decided just to eat outside. And I have decided that it would be my treat as what I have promised Janie before as part of her birthday celebration. Thus we three ate together and chatted alot at the Shakey's espana, but our bill was the most funny thing that happened in there, our bill was just 600+ for a family size pizza and a basket of mojos plus a pitcher of rootbeer which actually costs 800, but of course we didn't request for a recomputation for it is their own stupidity that caused their cash shortage of 200.

At around 10:30 pm I went home together with Jannelyn because we are both going to the same direction, and thanks God, we both were safely home despite the fact that it was my first time to go home by myself at past 6 pm. Haha, I though I am still a kid who must always be guided back to my home.

Colorgenics

I loved how it described my current situation, 90% accurate, just read it below:

Enough is enough - and you feel that you've had enough for a while. You don't need any more battles. You just would like to be able to shout 'stop' and experience a little peace and calm - even if it be only for a little while. This doesn't mean that you need to cut yourself off from the rest of the world - it just means that you are seeking some respite, some physical or emotional relaxation that could release some of the the tension and possibly reduce the internal conflict.

You are experiencing considerable difficulty trying to achieve your goals. As a consequence of this you are becoming more and more irritable. Your friends and acquaintances are finding it increasingly more difficult to appease or to reason with you. You are the cause of your own problems. Don't be so impulsive. It is your vacillation that can lead to problems and uncertainties. Ease up a little.

At times one is burdened with more than one's fair share of problems and this would appear to be your situation at present. But you are adamant - you know what you wish to achieve - and by giving a little and taking a little you may well find that the realization of your dreams could become a reality.

You are an emotional, sincere and impressionable individual experiencing frustration and unnecessary stress. You are carried away by other people's enthusiasm and looking for that idealised relationship, be it in a business or personal situation, which you are able to share with a mutual depth of understanding. You have lowered your defences in the past and you have been hurt, so you are now extremely wary of being exploited. You are still ready to trust people on the condition that they are prepared to offer you proof of their sincerity.

You wish to safeguard yourself against criticism or conflict and to embed yourself in a protected situation. You are a difficult person to relate to and very difficult to please.

Treasurer's Ultimatum

Life as a treasurer would be at it's best if the members of the organization is at cooperation, but it is life at hell when what you meet are imbeciles (referring just to some) and maybe morons whose mental capacity is below the expected. Without that girl just last Friday who have pushed me over my patience threshold, I wouldn't have written another entry till the summer vacation. But since this foolish ex-president lady would put me in jeopardy and accusing me of her own stupidity I think it is time for me to let my angst and hatred over collecting money over from the class be unleashed in a written form rather than verbally which I think her stupid brain whose brainwaves just simply can't catch up to my speaking speed. And I can't even understand how her idiotic mind can't simply understand British English and still find it funny, maybe her mind is only contained with her own Filipino colloquial English.

I would not have burst out of anger for this whole lofty weekend that would continue till Monday due to the Feast of Immaculate Conception, I would have enjoyed this long weekend relaxing and enjoying the cool December weather. But this lady an ex-president from another class who was moved over our class. An ex-president must have the true characteristic of a Leader, a leader should a responsible person who must be able to support the other members of the class as well as her officers. But her immature action of condemning to me her stupidity is simply outrageous. I have been long patient, but she brake the chain of my patience.

Over the semester I have resisted my fury to flow out if anybody would question the integrity of me as their treasurer. But here I would tell you, I don't even need a single part of your dirty money, I don't even need to use that dirty money that you are giving to me. And also let me tell you sissy, those money that I have collected for the past semester was not sufficient to cover all the cost of the test papers that we have taken during the finals period of the first semester, be thankful girl that I have not collected from you the missing part of which totaled more than 200php.

I am writing this not for the case that I am wanting you to feel gratified that I expend the remaining cost.

I am involuntary of being your treasurer. It is not my will to become a treasurer. It is you, or the section, who elected me to be your treasurer. You don't even pay me a single cent for being responsible in collecting the money. I have been diligent in paying the professors in due time for payment of their photocopied exam sheets. You are taking me for granted, you are thinking that it is solely my responsibility of collecting money.

I have written on the whiteboard during our computer laboratory class (December 3, 2008) that all payments are due on the next day, I doubt that not everybody have read it. But still on Thursday nobody approached me to pay for your debts. The students of the class are mostly irresponsible students who all just blame it either to me or to their parents that they lack the money. But I would tell you, if you lack money, don't order new books from the school it is up to you to find a second hand book. I'm always approached over by the Dean's office custodian to have me pay over our dues, it is hard for me to always tell him that the section are not paying their dues.

You order a book but you don't pay, how pitiful are you as a person, acting like somebody, yet your personality is a nobody. I don't have much time to waste with you.

Upon the start of the collection of the exam permits for the second semester, THOSE WHO WOULD NOT COMPLETE THEIR PAYMENT FOR THE ORDERED BOOKS AS WELL AS THE CLASS FUND THAT IS BEING COLLECTED FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS, SHALL HAVE THEIR EXAM PERMITS FROM THE DEAN'S OFFICE. I would no longer take the responsibility of collecting your dirty monies from you. You shall go by yourself to the dean's office and ask for how you shall take the exam, don't worry all deals were already agreed with the office.

This act as my ultimatum warning for all those who still have dues on me. As well as for the lady whose personality is at its worse. I would not give out the damn name of that poor lady, I would also say sorry to you if you would have read this entry, but it is your fault.

Note to Stupid girl: Don't tell me that there is a person who have not read the note that I have written over the computer lab, I have my eyes fixed on every person that have read the note. So don't use that stupid reason to accuse me of your own ignorance.

Add. note to stupid girl: I call you stupid not because I'm more intelligent than you, or maybe that's truly a fact, but still your actions pertaining to your past responsibility as well as for your age just doesn't much. I am hoping that the corporate world would never have a person like you who would just simply talk and talk as if someone of a superb intelligence. Please, don't proclaim your own stupidity.

Note to others: I don't know why you always like to ask what for am I collecting, because certainly you know, but you simply like to ask. Think before you talk.

Will be back on November

After the preliminary exams, I am really depressed with the scores that I got, many scores were rotten due to carelessness and mis-time-managament.
As I said in last post, I would actually want to post more clarifications on the issue of ghosts and the like, but since I need a little more effort on academics, I'll be leaving my blog posting till the end of the final exams.
Thank you!

Don't be Misled

It's now near our preliminary exams period and I can't afford to write much on this topic, but definitely I am urged to write about these in brief.

Many people have seen ghosts, spirits, these are layman's term to what the "experts" call phantasms. Be it clear that the phantasm that I am speaking here is a mental being and not the one used in Philosophy class. Layman have claimed to see their deceased ones or other deceased persons silhouette walking around, then you believed that what you see is the spirit of your deceased love one, you believe that in its entirety it is him and not an imitation. But to cut short the explanation, I say to you, what you see is not the deceased but a mental being which is known as the phantasm. NEVER CONSIDER THEM AS TRUE. Believing in the words of phantoms is simply dangerous.

Explanations of this absurd idea would come after my exams. Hope you leave a reply! Thanks

Earthquake on July 18

Upon reading various reports as well as text messages and IMs I am simply urged to write my own commentary on the false alarm written by this so called Brazilian teacher Juseleeno Nobulega DaRoose or maybe spread by other moron.

There are many reasons why a man can see something which he may say his prediction, but frequently this is not the case. A person able to foresee a future is true, but never a MAN can predict exact space and time accordingly. Because clairvoyance is an element of the astral plane, where time and space do not exist, so how did he get the time indicated when there is no space and time in the astral plane. Now, people might say that God has given him the ability to use clairvoyance at another level, but as normal human being still the least way to see future is thru the mental plane, but again mental plane exist with time but not space, still, where did he get the place. Would you say like it's an angel who whispered on his ears to tell him what will happen in the future?

Definitely there is a reason if God would really shake the world and exterminate "thousands" of lives here in the Philippines. But I believe still that we must believe in our God, may that be of whatever religion we believe in, that God is a loving God and is able to understand us and compassionate enough to forgive our sins.

I personally believe that the person spreading the message is simply bored of his life, he just wants to sit affront computer to type his "predictions" as if they were sent by God. He is one of the few persons who are foul enough to use the name of GOD for his own purpose. A selfish being causing tremor for the majority, causing fear to those whose faith are easily moved.

After a Long Break

It's been more than a month since I last updated my blog. But still I have not much to say, unlike my January-when I was determined to update my blog frequently, because the lazy bug keeps hatching eggs infesting me not to update it anymore and just to sit back, and relax.

But the summer heat pushes me to just sit in front of the computer and surf while bombarding myself with electric fan/s. Summer would have been great if it is not hot, sometimes i think that vacations must be put to cold seasons instead of hot seasons. Instead of having classes on "winter" why not have it at summer, that way we might save energy by not opening the air conditioner at home, but instead enjoy it with more people with the same energy consumption. hay... summer means frustration, frustration with the overwhelming scourging of the sun, frustrations with non-stop FLOWING of sweat.

We're champions!

Yesterday was a trial, a trial of efficacy for the things I taught, a trial of getting to the top across different schools competing for one beacon.

After dismissals i immediately ran to the M. Hizon school for the competition, but just to see that they are still not there when the time was already 12:15nn. So I tried to call them but just nobody answers my calls, so i walked back to CKSC just to hear that they have already left the school. I was really nearly pissed out to hear that they are already at the Competition grounds.

But this is nothing, for we have topped the competition with all wins. Perfect scores 6/6 for my semaphore team, and 3/6 for my Morse code team. gladly, no school was able to beat the 3 correct answers for morse code, it's just like history repeating itself where we just got 2 points but no school was also able to beat it.

Here, i would like to thank all of my contestants, for without you we would never win. i know you have still not done your best in the competition, i know that we could amaze all of the other schools if we have done our speedy sending, but still it's no need to amaze them, because we knew that we only need to relax for the beacon would surely be ours. your most sincere time spent with training really amazed me, specially for johanne and kelly where you both did not spend any time in training yet you were able to got it all correctly, the power of the star section is really amazing.

Again, thank you guys for making us champion.

The Secret

The book "the secret" by Rhonda Byrne is really great.

I can still remember the day before the preliminary exams, sir paking (dunno if this spelling is right) introduced as to this great book, through his sharing of the book, specially about quantum physics and a lot more I immediately bought the book. Shining in its hardbound cover, the books smooth pages, the sterling designs of each of it's pages is simply too worth it to buy for just an amount nearly 700, after reading the book i downloaded the whole movie although it's content is alike with the book, but by hearing the speakers themselves speak of the secret is far better than just reading it.

After reading and watching The Secret I finally realized the real problem with me. It was all because of my mind, always speaking to the soul that the course is difficult. i remembered when i was still in high school, i don't study after school but still I am getting high grades, but now in college, i am studying full time yet i am not achieving my goals. The Law of attraction is taking effect on me.

according to the Law of attraction, like attracts like. we are like magnets, what we visualize is what we get. Straight in the bull's eye I was shot off-guard, i finally realized that i am actually getting unsatisfactory (not failing) marks all because of the mentality that college studies is difficult. it's just like when i was in high school, i don't even bother to open the book, but my mind is believing that I would still get high grades.

And there are still more occurrences wherein the law of attraction takes effect. thanks to sir paking, for without him I would not have known that great book.

Baked Mac

Just to update my blog so that it would not be like before, I would just like to write about the great tasting baked mac at our building's second floor. Before, the vendor was known for his famous CHEESEburger, wherein the cheese's flavor overwhelmed the burger patty, really delicious, although it's price is not so friendly-20 pesos EACH (not buy 1 take one) but compared to the "hot-flamin burger" below our building, where a burger's worth 2 piece chicken value meal at fast food chains.

Now, actually since The first Monday of January, they were already selling the newly introduced baked mac as well as sotanghon, but just looking at the sotanghon it just doesn't fit my wants. But the overflowing cheese over the macaronis, it is simply haven for pasta lovers.

Hehe, just an update to my blog.

Who is Changing?

Today I went to CKSC after planning for our video presentation for environmental science. And today, i enjoyed the part where I met with old friends but I also seem to realize something in between me and my friends.

I have my bunch of friends, where I give priority to them before anybody else. But this day I am starting to feel startled at how things are changing. It's just a few months since graduation, and now the way we communicate seems to change. I remembered when Tina told me that we are all getting matured but just we don't seem to feel.

Is the situation now a maturation of me? or of my friends? Or is it my sensitivity that makes me think like that?

Friends on top, family on the second. I have given the highest priority to my friends, breaking apart seems too hard to accept, it seems like a falling investment, an interest not accrued, and receiving a bouncing check.

Let life be it, c'est la vie.

Adult Leaders Troop Meeting

Today the adult leaders of the Chiang Kai Shek College held a meeting for an almost 3 hours period. It was all about planning, planning, and planning.

It is truly tiresome, specially yesterday night when I'm asking for my parents consent for allowing me to attend today's meeting. At first I was shot by the pellets released by the machine gun, but suddenly it was already a cannon ball that was shot on to me, but still till midnight SHE allowed me to go. (Note from the machine gun to the cannon ball time, it was about 3 hours. Be noted that I still have classes today.) Is this sacrifice really worthy? sometimes I doubt.

But still scouting has turned into a passion. At first it was only a way to escape physical education and music classes, then it turned into a class reunion, and now it is turning into a part of my routine, a hobby, a habit.

To sacrifice for scouting seemed to me worthy. Firstly, my friends (Hope they are forever true) are there. Second, I loved to see my members (they are the members which I handled before I graduated) grow. Third, it is a great escape from the house. And of course, I joined because I loved scouting because it is "Where men grows strong" (according to the Tondo scouting logo) and also I enjoyed my passion to lead, to teach to lead, to see the lead, and to view it's strength (It survived for already a hundred years).

My title seems not fitting the content, but to write on the content of the meeting per se is definitely not allowed to be posted. But of course when time comes it would be posted.

Freakonomics Bookplate

Yahoo!

It was so much fun to receive my long awaited bookplate from the freakonomics authors, it was a sticker signed by the 2 authors freakonomics namely Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt. And the good thing about this bookplate was that it was free, even the postage was free, everything was paid by the publishing house.

I really hope that all my books would be signed by their respective authors. Since my birthday's getting near, this bookplate is already a great gift for me. But still, reminder to all who visited my blog, DON'T FORGET MY GIFT! wahaha, joke only.
