Post Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy..coz I am Awesome :)

"Words"

I envy Grey, I envy Steele.
I envy how a kiss is delivered and sealed.
I don't know why, I thought its cleared
But seems like I love you still.

Baby you're confusing yet amazing..
One smile, you make me love poem writing.
But there you go a bittersweet feeling,
sorrows felt for an unanswered longing.

I know of stories like Romeo and Juliet, even today.
Or of Hazel Grace and Augustus' exchange of OKAYs
and I REALLY ENVY Christian and Ana's MORE.
and yes baby, we don't know what's laid in store.

This poem is not a plea for you to look at me.
Or a plea that you'll like me, "supposed to be."
Maybe its my inner self, walking through the rain..
Freed, and learning to love again. 


Way way back.. I thought it's been years since I first encountered fifty shades on twitter but I dont mind. Everyone's tweeting about Ian Somerhalder being their Fifty Shades and I get really curios but I ended up not killing the cat. Until lately, it was an older friend, an Ate who told me not to read the book coz knowing how innocent i am with regards to experiences of love and all..Oh well, I killed the cat this time.. and I might say I really had a great time killing it :)


Aside from the very romantic love story, revelations, very wealthy lifestyle, and all fucked up personality, what I really love about the story is about reading people. I get to understand. I get to learn. Smirking with witty conversations, tell-tale lovemaking, romantic gestures, teeny bop bop of their "more"... growing up! That's what makes me excited about all of this...

I'm turning 21 this year, and I cant hide it. Though I may look young and sound young and others treat me like so young....but i cant deny it.. I am getting older! days will pass..and I will age.. That's why I realized, I have to grow too.. Learn, mature, and be AWESOME!

I am on my senior year, and yet, I may say I haven't proved anything yet. Life after school. I dunno, not sure where I am headed to.. But I just know one thing.. I am headed to the road of AWESOMENESS :))

Oh yes, We don't know what destiny holds in store, I don't know where these feet will land 5 years from now. But i swear, and you should too.. WE SHOULD ALL BE AWESOME :) No matter how you define it. I mean, I may be headed to the road of rich and treasure.. or the road of knowledge and learning...or both..or whatever. What I am trying to say is, to whatever you're headed to.. MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR BEST! :)

And for now, and all my blabbering to which I hope you won't mind.. I still have a homework to do.. It's a long day still! and a long road for AWESOMENESS..but I know, I am awesome(and you too)..in my own way!(in your own way) TAHAHAHAHHA! :)))


BTW, Just wanna thank our national heroes who fought for this freedom I have now..That's why I am here writing all this nonsense. MABUHAY PILIPINAS :)

Academic whims

I was a failure


No matter how they said that one should appreciate life and all.. There will be a point in your life where you seem to be not so blessed enough. But technically I am blessed..

I just dont seem to appreciate what life has to offer..Today, I am doomed with all my school requirements. Earlier this morning, I got a message from one of my professors that I am exempted from the finals! Good! But then later, i found out that in one of my subjects, from a list where 17 out of 40 was exempted, I was not included! Shame on me! :(( I just needed a 0.44% to be exempted.... Can I not be a little happier???

I am so sad.. I think, that was a pattern.. It seems like it has been a cycle. I want to stop that cycle! Because I want to be happier...

I want to change who I am. and I'll start today! Yes right now! That's why I am posting this blog.. To remind myself.. how doomed I am today.. I care for myself, especially for my parents..

And not to forget, whatever happiness or sadness I am into.. I shall not forget to thank Him. I know, everything was a test, a realizer. Everyday is a finals exam in keeping my faith to Him. Thank you Father, for everything.. You make me humbled all the time.

and so, I most likely feel:

I am not a failure, afterall.


GOODLUCK for our Research Presentation! Fighting~!!!

Okay!

The Fault in our Stars...
by John Green

(photo from: http://coincidentalreality.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/photo-4.jpg)


(Spoiler Alert: This is not a review)
This is not supposed to be a review or any of that sort but this book I just finished reading hours ago had struck me so much that I cant find my way to sleep.

I had previously downloaded this ebook for free from a blogger..(Yes she provides some free ebooks like Hunger Games, Life of Pi, and mostly Green's book, I think it had Harry Potter in it too). I was supposed to read Looking for Alaska since I got good reviews but barely have I started due to busy scheds or Im-not-just-in-the-mood. It was this awesome late night last night that I cant find my way to sleep. I browsed my galaxy notes files and I found this literature. Why not try?

I started reading the first sentences and I was too much delved about the things I might know into those people suffering from serious illness (Prolly because I had just been treated from measles) I was really ecstatic on the few pages until I came across to Augustus Waters. I become more ecstatic. (Mind you, I'm a little heartbroken too.) 

Gus character. By no means, I cant explain had really hit me through the bones. ( A little exaggerated) His character is like somehow familiar to me, like resembling someone. His cool acts, his being funny, his being a metaphor guy, his being a smart dude, his being sweet but not so cheesy, his being full-of-efforts-guy.. I guess I've kinda known Augustus. And it hurts me.. to whatever happened to him.. I think it might be similar to my friend.. (I'm not telling my friend will ***) 

Let me tell you this one short story, It was like the first series of exam this year, 2013, was over, around last week of January. Since Ive got nothing much to do, I downloaded this app from the Playstore, called KakaoTalk.. I got international friends. But the only closest I got, to which I demand chatting with him every Friday night til dawn was Harry of India. But, I'm not in that relationship status the same with Hazel Grace and Gus! Come on! I just say, when Gus sort of (I cant spoil).. I felt like, we, I, really cant hold on to our friendship like forever. ie, we cant always talk every Friday night since he's busy, I'm waiting, kidding, I'm busy too..(sort of) and its really two different worlds, two different time zones, two different races.. and it'll be hard.. Its my first time to have international friends too! Thanks technology! :) But that, I mean, its not normal friendship like seeing each other everyday.. but what could have been normal from the start.. (I dunno if you're getting my point, but the point is.. that's my point. lol)

Okay! and so, another realization hooked me up about all these stuffs, having a weak body, deteriorated by serious illnesses and such. I thank God, for giving me a healthy body, sound mind and spirit.. along with the people around me, my Family, relatives, and friends. I just cant admire the kids in the story more, how was it so effective with Mr. Green's novel for me to realize how beautiful my life is! How lucky I am.. (How worrisome I have been, that makes me guilty). It just that I can't appreciate what life really has to offer that I've taken for granted everyday like just passing days.. Yes, now, I could have been more thankful! I could have extended more the blessings I have.. I could have meant more those times I said I love you, to my parents and friends. Those times I had my heart broken, seriously, what's so wrong with a broken heart, the most important thing is that you'd learn to appreciate, you'd learn to love! Quoting from Gus, "You don't get choose if you get hurt in this world." Loving had always been a beautiful thing, and I must continue loving the people around me, whatever the cost is.

And most especially, this book had lots of life quotes too that everyone can relate too.. I myself had always this in mind, "That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt." (I told you, I'm a little heartbroken!)  Aside from that, there are lots of encouragement quotes too! Maybe I should try stitching one! :)

This book is a realizer. (Now look who's saying its not a review.lol!) I've learned a lot! (Spoiler alert: Spare some tissue) and it has touched me on many ways.. I hope you too.. Try reading it..

"Okay!"

"Okay... Okay!"

:'))


(Funny, how I ended up crying after writing this blog.. but not cried while reading the book)
(Spoiler alert: I think the word Okay would be sentimental for you too.)

I am doomed..

I can't log in to my skype account.
I don't want to see his name..


I have been warned! I have been told not to fall... Not to fall for someone who wouldn't want to catch you at all.. But I believed.. I hoped.. And for everything that happened.. I thought he would actually learn.. Learn to care for me..


I just want to write this now.. Maybe for a couple of years.. I would just laugh at this post and figure out how childish I was before.. How torned I was before.. :(


God knows, I had prayed and asked, If only I could forget him. Right from the very beginning.. I knew all my dreams about him and I together won't come true... I knew it! I'm not pretty to begin with. I'm loud and noisy.. Opposite to what he wants.. Opposite to what he cares about! But I was surprised, the day after that prayer, he finally asked my name..

I thought it was a sign.. A sign, maybe there's a 'chance'.. For the two of us.. But.. It has been 10 months.. And we're always casual.. Nothing more, nothing less...


I thought we'd just be friends.. When I see him with another girl.. I'd be happy..


When my feelings we're about to be known.. I planned a decoy.. I had believed everybody that the person that i want was his friend and not him. Everyone bite it. Even him, he teased me every now and then.. Knowing him, he'd actually do that to everyone.. He wasn't even jealous of anything.. :(


One day, I learned... He likes my bestfriend.. Rather he loves my bestfriend! :((


I don't hate my best friend.. She is attractive, really and she got all the qualities a guy would find..
I just hate the feeling of being unwanted.. Of being disregarded.. And the hell
Why I know all of this? It's because His friend want me to be the wingman.. And poof! I'm playing the martyr here!!! I am doomed....


It hurts.. There are times.. I don't have appetite.. I can't laugh the way I used to.. I can't even tell my bestfriend all of my sufferings.. I've got no one to talk to.. I am doomed...



It hurts.. It hurts not to be loved in return.. It hurts.. It hurts to be not reciprocated.. It hurts when my other friend how much he likes her.. Actually it's love.. He's just waiting.. Waiting for her to graduate.. I am doomed..


I am jealous of course.. But i should be not.. I do not have the right.. I never owned him.. I hate him for not noticing my feelings or rather acknowledging what I feel.. But it wasn't his fault! It's mine, I fell on the trap...I am doomed..


I still have a week.. A week until I see him.. I can't show this attitude.. I can't! I want to move on and be happy about his decisions.. I should let go even if in the first place, i wasn't holding unto anything...


It'll hurt... Yes.. Just like now..
It'll hurt but it should not ruin me...
I should be strong! And yes I can do it...
No one's helping me.. Except myself...
No one's gonna care.. Except myself...


I am doomed.. But I can live again...
I won't cry over my broken heart..
It won't change anything..

I am doomed.. But I can love them again.. To a different extent of course
Maybe I'll be doomed but... It's what you give that matters...
One's lucky if they can have something in return.

Ang hirap naman...

Ang hirap naman magmahal..

Lalo na kapag umaasa ka..
Pero ung kaibigan mo naman pala ung gusto niya..

Ang sakit umasa.. Akala mo may meaning pero wala naman pala..
Assuming ika nga!

Ang hirap i-solve..
Parang given ka ng 3 equations, 4 unknowns
Indeterminate ba..


Ang hirap din magpanggap..
Na hindi ka nagseselos kapag magkasama sila..

Ang hirap naman kasi...
Magmamahal ka.. Sa taong hindi ka naman gusto..

Sabi nga ni Charlie sa Perks of being a Wallflower, "We accept the love we think we deserve"..

Ang hirap din mag isip..
Nakakamatay ng brain cells..

Ang random lang..


Dalaga na kasi..

Sawi sa unang pag-ibig..

First time ma-inlove..

Epic fail naman..


Hai!

Kung ako ang presidente ng Pilipinas


Isa sa mga naging pangarap ko noong ako’y bata pa ay ang maging Presidente ng bansa. Marahil, ito ay naging impluwensya ng aking kamusmusan at kaisipan noon na ang paglilingkod sa bayan ay isang simpleng bagay lamang. Habang tumatanda at nagkakaisip, unti-unti kong nauunawaan na iba-iba pala ang mga bagay-bagay. Katulad nga ng sabi ni Spiderman, “With great power, comes great responsibility.”

Ako ay lumaki at nagka-isip sa probinsya, kaalinsabay ng aking pagtanda sa siyudad. Nasubukan kong pumasok sa isang paaralang pampubliko at isang paaralang pribado.  Nabasa ko noong sa aking aklat na karapatan ng bata ang mag-aral. Tama, hindi lingid sa ating kaalaman na ang gobyerno ay nagbibigay ng libreng edukasyon para sa mamamayan nito. Subalit hindi rin lingid sa ating kaalaman ang kabulukan at kabuktutan ng sana’y “mataas na uri” ng edukasyon sa mga kabataan ay nauuwi sa kawalan dahil sa kakulangan ng badyet na napupunta sa sector ng edukasyon, hindi na kasama ang pangungurakot at iba pang aspetong maaaring makapaekto dito. Oo, may natatangi tayong Science High Schools subalit kung lilingunin ang general public schools na ipinaglilingkod ng gobyerno ay masasabi nating minoridad lamang ang naunang nabanggit. Sa isang banda, ang mataas na uri ng edukasyon ay maaring ituring na lamang na pribilehiyo sapagkat tanging mga nakaangat lamang sa lipunan ang may kakayahang makapag-paaral ng kanilang anak sa mga pribadong paaralan kung saan mas lalong natutukan ang bata sa “mataas na uri” edukasyon. Sa isang pampublikong paaralan, mapalad na kung sapat ang mga silid-aralan. Kung tutuusin, sabi ng aking hipag na isang guro, ang ration ng isang guro/classroom sa mga estudyante ay umaabot ng 1:80. Nandiyan din ang kakulangan sa libro, at kakulangan sa mga mahuhusay na guro. Ayon sa 2008 Functional Literacy and Mass Media Survey ng National Statistics Office, isa sa sampung Pilipino ay functionally illiterate at 9 milyon ang nasa below literacy level. Lumalabas na kailangan ang agarang pagsugpo sa ganitong isyu. Hindi lamang para sa mga mag-aaral na nasa siyudad kundi lalo na maging sa mga mag-aaral sa probinsya at liblib na lugar na nangangailangan din ng paghahasa ng talent at liwanag sa isipan. Gusto kong isakatuparan ang sinabi ni Rizal na ang “kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan!” at isa sa hakbang niya ay ang wastong edukasyon para sa kabataan.


Napag-uusapan ang edukasyon. Kaya naman importanteng tayo ay maliwanagan. Pinakakabisado sa atin ng walang habas na ang isla sa Pilipinas ay may bilang na 7,107, na ang mga Pilipino ay may imbensyon katulad ng fluorescent light, at iba pa. Subalit wala naming katotohanan ang lahat ng ito. Isa sa mga nais kung ikampanya ay ang tamang edukasyon sa mga bata. Paano tayo uunlad kung hindi natin alam ang ugat at kasaysayan ng ating bansa. At upang malaman ang ugat na iyon, dapat nating linisin at ayusin ang anumang maling impormasyon sa mga aklat. Oo, simpleng bagay lang naman ang mga ito subalit kung ito ay ating nakalakhan, ito pa rin ay magdudulot sa atin ng mga suliranin, at iba pa. Katulad na lamang ng iminungkahi ng aking guro sa PI 100, kaya daw tayong mga Pilipino ay mareklamo, ang tingin ay laging naaapi, at hindi nakukunteto sa ating bansa (Halimbawa ay ang mga OFW na nangingibang-bansa) ay dahil sa bagay na itinatak sa atin mula sa ating kasaysayan. Ang laging sinasabi sa ating aklat ay tayo ay inapi ng mga Kastila subalit hindi din natin naisip na ipagpasalamat sa kanila ang pagbubuklod nila sa atin bilang isang bansa, ang pagtuturo sa atin ng makabagong paraan ng pamumuhay (Halimbawa ay mga paggamit ng makinerya, atbp) na hindi sa atin ginawa at itinuro ng karatig nating mga bansa. Ayon sa aklat na Culture and History ni Nick Joaquin, tayo ay nananatiling gumagamit ng “tree bark” sa ating mga pagsulat, samantalang ang China at Japan ay gumagamit na ng “printing press.” Nanatili tayong “hindi pinapansin” sapagkat ano nga lang ba sa kanila ang Pilipinas? Ayon pa sa aklat na ito na binanggit na isang Chinese voyager, Philippines: island of snake and savages.


Isa sa araw-araw na gawain ko at ng maraming Pilipino ay ang pagbabiyahe. Araw-araw ding nararanasan at nililitaniyahan ang trapiko hindi lamang sa ka-Maynilaan kundi maging sa iba pang mga siyudad sa ating bansa. Malaki talaga ang problema natin dito. Naaalala ko pa noong kumuha ako ng kursong Geog 1, na-feature sa aming aklat ang Pilipinas lalo na ang Maynila, isa sa mga “most traffic cities.” Sa katunayan, marami na rin akong mga nabasang blogs sa internet ng mga foreigners na bumibista sa ating bansa sa kakaibang experience nila sa pagbabiyahe. Kaya naman gusto kong pagtuunan ng pansin ang mas lalo pang pag-papaayos ng kalsada at iba pang uri ng transportasyon. Oo, mayroon namang proyekto ang kasalukuyang gobyerno subalit, alam nating sa milyung-milyong pisong tinutugon dito, milyun-milyon din ang naibubulsa ng mga pulitiko, na sana ay ginamit sa mas lalong ikaaayos sa lagay ng transportasyon (halimbawa nito ay ang C5 Project, Macapagal High Way, at iba pa.) Ngunit isang tanong din ay papaano? Minsan dahil sa mga road widening projects, maraming mga squatters ang napapaalis sa kanilang tirahan. Sila ay nirere-relocate sa mas malalayong lugar, minsan pa nga yung iba ay wala. Saan kukuha ang mga burgis ng kanilang kasambahay at driver? Kung mapapalayo sila sa siyudad kung saan mas maraming opurtunidad, saan sila kukuha ng mas malaking perang pangtustus sa kanilang pamumuhay? Kaya dapat balanse. Subalit patuloy pa din silang nasisisi (bilang mga street vendors) sa pagsikip ng daloy ng trapiko. Isang halimbawa ay ang Luzon Avenue. Dati, kapag dumadaan ako diyan, naglipana ang street vendors sa paligid, subalit naayos ng MMDA ang sitwasyon ng pinatayuan sila ng pwesto sa gilid ng kalsada, na may kalayuan sa high-way. Sana laging ganoon ang mangyari. Hindi yung pinagtatabuyan sila, dahil wala na silang kikitain. Pare-pareho lang naman tayong kumakain.


Kaliwa’t-kanan din ang kilos protesta sa pagtaas sa singil sa pamasahe. Ayon sa ulat ng Bulatlat, ang kita ng isang jeepney driver sa isang araw ay pumapatak sa 400 pesos. Kasama na dito ang bayad sa boundary, at mga pagpapa-gasolina. Sa kaniyang pamilya na may 4-6 na anak, kulang itong pangtustus sa kanilang pamumuhay. Kung taaasan naman ang singil sa pamasahe, marami ding mga commuters ang maapektuhan, lalo na’t karamihan sa mga commuters ay kapwa mahihirap lamang. Sinasabing nalulugi din ang mga kumpanya ng mga gasolinahan, kaya kailangang magtaas ng singil sa petrolyo, subalit gaano katotoo ito? Hindi naman puwedeng sabihan na lamang ang mga kumpanya na huwag magtaas ng singil, sapagkat, maaaring mawalan ng investors an gating bansa. Kaya gusto kong pagtuunan ng pansin at palawigin pa ang aking kaalaman ukol dito. Kung paano ba ang tamang pagpapabuti sa sistema.


Isa din sa gusto kong pagtuunan ng pansin ay ang mga nasa LGBTcommunities. Patok na patok sila ngayon, lalo na noong sumikat si Vice Ganda. Marami na din akong nakilala at nakausap na katulad nila. Iisa lang naman ang sinasabi nila: sana walang diskriminsasyon. Buti nga sa UP, malawak ang pang-unawa ng mga tao. Sa katanuyan, ang nanalong USC Chairperson ngayon ay isang aktibong miyembro ng LGBT. Samantalang sa National Elections, hindi pinayagan ng COMELEC ang partidong Ang Ladlad dahil sa ito ay immoral. Kaya naman gusto kong palawigin ang kanilang mga karapatan sa lipunan. Huwag gawing batayan ang kanilang pisikal na kaanyuan sa kanilang pag-aaral, paghahanapbuhay at iba pang aktibidad. Lalo na ngayon at sumisikat din ang same sex marriage. Nagiging bukas ang kaisipan ng mga tao, subalit ang iba ay patuloy na sarado. Sa katanuyan, mayroon ng mga ipinasang proposals ukol dito subalit, wala sa mga iyon ang ipinasa ng gobyerno. Sabi nga ng kaibigan ko, “hindi ko naman ginustong maging ganito, eh sa ganito talaga ako.” At nang biruin ko siyang gusto kong magkaanak ng isang kabilang sa LGBT, “GAGA, HUWAG! hindi mo alam kung gaano kahirap.” Gaano ba kahirap ang pagtawanan at kutyain? Bilang mga tao, my potensyal ang bawat isa. Potential na lalo pang mapapalawig kung bukas ang isipan ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila.


“May yaman sa basura” Iyan ang madalas kong naririnig sa mga documentaries kapag naipapalabas ang ukol sa mga taong naninirahan sa dumpsites at kung anu-ano pa. Bakit ba naman hindi? Subalit, kung lilimiin, madami ring tao ang maaaring masawi sa panganib. Katulad na lamang ng pagguho ng basura sa Payatas noong taong 2000, sa Baguio naman ay noong taong 2011. Ang aking iminumungkahi lamang, katulad na lamang ng sa JPEPA na kahit magbibigay ito ng trabaho ay may  nagsasabing maaaring tayo’y maging tapunan ng basura ng Japan, nawa’y lalong paigtingin natin ang pagiging responsable sa ating mga kalat. May napanood akong video ng isang Amerikanong nagtratrabaho sa Cebu, “20 reasons why I dislike the Philippines” at sinabi niyang, bibili ka lamang ng gum ay lalagyan pa nila ng plastic bag, kung saan magiging sanhi pa ng mga kalat. Gusto ko sanang pagtuunan ng pansin ito. Lalo na’t tuwing bumabagyo, kahit maliliit na basura, nagiging isa sa sanhi ng pagbaha.


Bakit maraming basura? Isa sa mga sagot dito, dahil maraming tao. Ang population density ng Pilipinas ayon sa World Bank report noong 2011 ay 312.78 per km2. Ang trend nito ay palaki ng palaki kada taon. Oo, maraming tayong isla subalit, hindi naman lahat iyon ay pwedeng tirahan. Katulad nga ng sinabi ko kanina, wala namang oportunidad. Ayon sa MetropolitanManila.com, isa sa madaling sisihin ay ang mga taong mahihirap na hindi naturuan ng tamang pangangalaga sa pamilya. Subalit ayon naman sa libro ni Randy David, marunong naman silang mag-family planning. Siguro marahil ‘yung iba ay oo, ‘yung iba naman ay hindi. Kaya naman gusto kong imungkahi, ang pagsasabatas ng RH Bill sapagkat maraming bagay ang maaaring maidulot nito. Sa milyung-milyong populasyon, madami din ang walang trabaho. Kung magkakaroon man ng trabaho, hindi pa din makakasapat upang tugunan ang pangangailangan ng marami. Sa patuloy na paglaki ng populasyon, kailangan ng tamang kaalaman upang hindi naman masugpo kundi ma-control.


Matagal ng may sagupan ang bansa laban sa MILF at NPA. Dati, natatakot akong sumakay sa LRT, MRT dahil sa isyu nang pambobomba. Marami ding mga foreigners ang dinadakip at napapanood sa TV na pinahihirapan ng mga terorista. Hindi naman lahat kayang ibigay ng gobyerno. Dahil na din, may iba’t-ibang ipinaglalaban ang mga tao at may sari-sarili silang prinsipyo. Paano kung mabaliktad? Ang mga rebelde ang mamumuno sa atin. Hindi ko din alam kung ano ang magiging itsura ng ating bansa. Marahil kung ako ang presidente, amnestiya lamang ang kaya kong maibigay maliban sa pakikinig sa kanilang mga hinaing na hindi naman makakasira sa kaayusan ng bansa at kung ayaw man nila, patuloy pa din ang pakikipaglaban ng military upang masugpo ang panggugulo nila sa mga sibilyan.


Nais ko din pagtuunan ng pansin ang nauukol sa pagpapayaman ng agrikultura na ating bansa. Lumaki ako sa mga palayan at taniman ng Tarlac. Saksi ako sa pagpupunyagi ng mga magsasaka mula sa pagtatanim hanggang sa kanilang pag-aani. Sa katunayan, ang sinasaing naming bigas ay buhat sa hirap at pagod ng aking mga tiyuhin at tiyahin sa pagsasaka. Ang Pilipinas ay isang agrikultural na bansa. Tayo ang nagturo sa Vietnam ng pagtatanim ng palay subalit ngayon tayo pa ang nag-iimport sa kanila. Kaya nais kong pagtuunan, maliban sa pagpapadami ng investors sa bansa, ay isama ang pagpapadami din ng investors sa pagsasaka. Mataba ang lupa natin at angkop sa pagtatanim. Bagaman ang pamahalaan ay may badyet sa ganitong gawain, ni minsan, walang dumating sa aking mga tiyuhin at tiyahin. Naibulsa ng mga nasa taas.


Hindi ko din maipapangakong maaalis ko ang korupsyon sa ating bansa. Likas na iyon. Kung baga sa pagluluto, isa na siya sa sangkap. Saan ka man mapuntang bayan, lagi ‘yang andiyan. Katulad ng sinabi ni PNoy na hindi siya mangungurakot, subalit paano ang mga nasa paanan niya. Ganoon din kaya sila? Oo, nagpapaalis siya ng mga kawani, katulad na lamang ng impeachment kay Corona, subalit, lahat naman sila may latak ng pangungurakot. Hindi lamang siya. Katulad nga ng sinabi ko kanina, may mga gumagawa namang mga nakaupo, subalit sa ponding iyon, marami ang naibubulsa. Kaya madalas sisihin ng mga mahihirap ang kanilang pagiging mahirap dahil sa mga corrupt officials. Kaya patuloy ang mga kaguluhan, kaya patuloy ang di-kapayapaan sa mga kalsada, sa mga strike, nanghihingi ng dagdag na badyet sa pag-aaral, sa agrikultura, sa hanapbuhay at iba pa.


Sa ating bansa, malawak ang dapat ayusin. Marami ang dapat magtulungan. Ang Kaunlaran, aywan ko lang kung katulad noong bata pa ako ay magiging pangarap na lamang.

On friendship, studies, life and 'randomness'

    Second semester at the University of the Philippines-Diliman had barely started. And so, we got lots of free time yet before the HELL WEEKS :)) I was with my friend IVY again [we're bestfriends! btw!] and we're waiting for our other best friend Trixia. [ our group is called the POWERPUFF GErls, since we're all taking up the Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering]  It was a very very HOOOT day indeed that walking around the academic oval is extremely inadvisable and so we've decided to rest in our "Tambayan" behind the GE Lawn. ;))


   We've soon talked about our Professors and Instructors this sem and how lucky we were because we've been in the same classes again =))) [ES 13, GE 161, GE 38] We came up with some ideas of how second sem would definitely work. And then we suddenly remembered that we have an assignment about Mechanics [ES 13] We brought out our copies and both realized that we don't have any calculator! [We even felt so spirited at that time about studying soo hard!!!]  I've decided to check my phone's cam and adjusted the brightness and added some effects. I RANDOMLY chose the Watercolor effect and directed the cam to Ivy.
OMO IVY! Let's try some Agua Bendita photoshoot!
   Agua Bendita[Holy Water] is a famous TV drama series in the Philippines. It is a story about a twin. One is born normal and the other is born in water form. Thank you to the camera's effect, we're able to somehow transform into Agua and Bendita :))


Introducing: IVY's AGUA BENDITA :))





and now, Introducing my funny version of Agua Bendita :))



 Agua is the kind girl and Bendita is the spoiled brat :))

  We have also adapted the EMO STYLE :))) EMOs are very popular in the Philippines. And it is often related  to the heart broken :))) and so is our theme </3

Here's Ivy's version.. [using comb for her props]


Mine is a hair clip disguised as a blade :))


teehee :))

We even tried some famous characters in Philippine TV shows and literature.

This one is Sisa, from Dr. Jose P. Rizal's "Noli Me Tangere."


Sisa, from the novel, is a vey loving mother of 2 kids. But she lost her mind due to her children's misfortunes. But I guess I don't seem someone who had lost her mind but someone who's just doing a wacky pose XD

  The Last character is Bebang, from the TV show "Bitoy's World" 


I should have worn BIG BOWS to make it more realistic! hahaha :D


    The photoshoot had ate a lot of our time laughing and posing that we didn't even notice that it's time for us to head to our next class. =)))

   This made me realized that Life is so RANDOM! :)) We plan things carefully but still  sometimes we would end up in some random ideas which would make your day, YOUR DAY! :)) We don't even tend to do anything about it since it just comes naturally! :)) 

Anyway, I am so random right now, do I make sense? mee-yaw!
