Christmas!! (No, not Christmas Break)

I'm now just giving out my Christmas gifts over YM (kiss and hug emoticons!!)

Well.. Its just a few hours before Christmas!! Hmmm.. looks like its gonna be a hell Christmas break this time again (2nd year - kill Sanchez memories) since we have a crappy major plate due a week after coming back..

The decent thing that they could have done is at least give us a site.. damnit.. I found out that Santa Cruz is on the other side of Laguna de Bay.. anlayo!!

Anyway, so much for relaxing this whole break.. maybe I will relax..

On school.. Its just nice that all of us, completed a hospital in about less than two weeks! I'm sure you all felt good about yourselves.. ang galing natin e.. hassle si sir noh? Nice one JJ, G, and Frank.. we did well.. we pulled thru all together!! Oh well.. as for the second major plate, ewan.. hahaa..

On Paskuhan!! It was great this year.. sure, the fireworks was shorter.. but still grand nonetheless.. sakto lang dating namin from playing in the comp. shop.. hehe.. there's alot of pictures to prove that we've enjoyed at least.. hayz.. ang daming wala.. hello guys.. Paskuhan? tsk tsk.. Scrooge

On Simbang Gabi! Well, this year's simbang gabi was the only time I nearly completed it.. I missed one due to me setting my alarm to 450 am instead of 350 am.. (blames the hospital plate) Just to give info on how much I went to Simbang Gabi, me completing 8 days this year was more (I think) than all my attendance in previous years put together.. It was better this time since I was going to simbang gabi with Emman, Olive, Margaux, Bene, Paulo, Karen, Douille, Lee-An, Mark.. Kudos to Karen and Olive for completing it!

On Christmas.. hmm.. this year's schedule is different.. usually my family and I would go to my tita's (Mother's side) to celebrate Christmas together.. its different this time around since my cousin Ate Cecille now has a baby! (which I haven't met yet) So the baby may get tired and all that.. See ya tomorrow then!!

On Gifts, Wishes and Whatnots that I could get this Christmas.. I felt nerdy because of RMA and my upcoming thesis next year.. so I asked my parents for books. (oh my gosh!) I'm at least partly bookworm.. but I'm thinking long term, and now that I'm older and wiser.. now that I'm 20 years young.. hanep talaga books.. Arki books to be precise..

My hands are feeling itchy.. maybe I'll receive cash (like I usually do or that's probably because of the alcohol)

With that, Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Anniversary!

It just dawned upon me.. that my blog is one year old!! weeeee!! I had nothing better to do.. just looking at my blog.. then I noticed the archives.. it showed December 2005 as the earliest date.. I clicked on it again, showed all my earlier entries.. turns out December 17 last year was the date of my first entry.. I think my sort-of writing style has changed since then..

So how's life? Nothing could be an important factor in my life now than the major plate that we're still doing.. but at least, people are abit more happier since it was at least extended a bit.. its due Tuesday so there..

And I think I'll just break down and cry if we really need to already do the 2nd major plate during the Christmas break.. (parang 2nd year lang a).. It would be ironic if UST, of all universities would be the ones ripping us off of the holiday cheer.. with the Catholic attachments and all that, it really would. After crying, I'll just drop dead and die..

I'm thinking of completing this year's simbang gabi.. I figured it'd be good for me.. I think I'm pretty desperate on the lore surrounding it that there's a christmas wish if you complete all 9 days.. hehe we guys were joking that we have a bet on paying to the peeps if we didnt complete the simbang gabi..

As for the wish? C`mon.. you know me.. it's been pending.. christmas wish, birthday wish.. kahit ano pa yan.. its quite obvious really.. so I'll sing..

From the song "Nasan ka na?"

"Nasan ka na, nasan ka na?" *End.. di ko na alam yung lyrics e*

Christmas na nga ba?!

This is post is gonna be more of a rant, an impulse, a small note, a bratty remark, a bitch-slap but nonetheless is what I'm really feeling right now.. First of, this post was supposed to be done yesterday, but my PC acted weird and kept restarting.. But now that the rain has subsided it works just fine.. (see ang weird di ba) So I ended up punching the pc in the face (monitor) and yun.. nagrestart ulit..

Well Christmas is just a couple of weeks away, and probably this week will determine whether I'll be at least be able to enjoy this break.. sure, its hell week and all that.. but it is compounded by a prof that in many ways, a very effective and a very good one, but also in many ways that he is a kupal, tae, mayabang, mahangin, malabo, pampahassle ang pamamaraan sa pagturo..

Our project was supposedly to REdevelop a hospital.. but no, the sneaky boy found turned it into a design-your-own hospital.. which is many ways different.. wayyyyy bigger and wayyyyyyy harder just to name a few.. and to top things of.. we started like a week ago! Kudos to tropical typhoon Reming for that.

And I dont want the remedy for this situation is to pass this plate next year.. hell no way! So I pray to God that He may have my back, just as I know He always does..

And to think this was just the first major plate.. just a short term speed bump on the road to a nightmare semester.. upcoming major plates, RMA preparing us for our thesis and lastly, Departmental tests after our final exams.. which would act like an entrance exam into 5th year.. Hope I get thru those too..

Merry Christmas!

It Has Begun..

After a very relaxing, cruising Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.. Thursday just took the wind out of my sails.. The day was so draining, even just after our first class! Well, our first class aint so normal compared to other courses.. I mean, c`mon who could stomach a 7am - 1pm class? And that's suppose to be the shorter one. The other one, tomorrow, raises up the bar to 2pm..

Design 8 (7am - 1 pm)

Well, it was the first time yesterday that that happened. All the other meetings was either he was absent or he dismissed the class early. And to think summer is such a far cry away! Our prof is just great, the fact that he just draws away on the board cool and grear perspectives and just erases it like it was nothing, how he would keep on talking while doing a near-impossible plate.. and how he would call us for a quick question on things we already should know when we're rushing on a plate with less than 15 minutes remaining, how its just freakin' annoying all the useless, off-topic researches he wants us to accomplish, and lastly, how he grades us.. He asks us to put stick our work on the boards, and that maybe the highlight of the day.. hahaha.. I guess sir liked my concept, `coz I sure didn't like how I colored it and how I drew its perspective.. but then again, I'm not exactly the best renderer around, so there. A comment from Lanie when I was about to pass it last Saturday was "Ang sakit sa mata!!"

Planning 2 (230pm - 4pm)

The subject is interesting enough, since Urban Planning is one of the fields I'd like to get into after graduation.. but the prof is just.. bleh.. boring.. as we would all say, "pang highschool" is her methodology.. like find news articles, "roleplaying" but then again, I had an epiphany that planning is just an all-talk subject (remebers Planning 1) with a little bit of outside exposure.. But still I feel that some of the things that they'll teach is something that we know already or at least we know a little on or at the very least, something we'll learn thru research. But then again, maybe I''ve just played too much SimCity 4 last summer.. (Does that count as experience?)

Professional Practice 2 (4pm - 530pm)

Sleepy time though I didnt sleep.. I think the subject's interesting enough.. But dictating the whole UAP (United Architects of the Philippines) documents word per word on powerpoint doesn't seem right.

Reseach Methods in Architecture (530pm - 730pm)

This our sort-of prethesis subject, preparing us for our thesis next year, and hopefully all the topics that we proposed this year would turn out to be our thesis next year. I'm starting to doubt my proposal as well, since my original idea was a reclaimed island like what they are currently doing in Dubai (The Palm Islands) only of course with a Filipino touch (mine was supposed to be shaped like a turtle) but sir said that it isnt currently isn't working well for Dubai since the property isn't selling itself..

So he suggested another "Pawikan Island" project, making use of what I later researched yesterday night as the Turtle Islands of the Phillipines.. sir kept on saying earlier that it is somewhere in the south, I thought it was Visayas-or-Mindanao-South, but no!

It was Sulu-South!

Not just Sulu-South but Sulu-Near-The-Philippine-Borders-South! Sulu-Sabah, Malaysia South!

Hell how the hell am I gonna get there?! That's freakin' far.. Kausapin ko nalang siguro si sir.. with that, I'll just Wowowee for now..

It has just begun.. A journey that'll this time next year, we'll still be treading upon.. matira matibay!

Untitled

Well.. Lemme think out loud.. Life's abit boring and lonely and just a straight, dull line right now. I have tons of free time right now and I can't sort of start working because of some issues that I obviously do not have a hand in.. So now its just sound tripping, bumming around..

So maybe I'll think about YOU.. yes, you.. You know, from God or something?.. I've probably may have already met you, we're probably good friends by now, and you're probably somewhere in my circle of friends.. If so, I may probably have a secret crush or have already fallen deeply in love with you.. (geez, I hope not!) We may probably know abit from each other.. or heck, we know waaayy too much about each other. You may not notice that since I'm like that too to other ladies.. Hey, no I'm no menyak or a presko guy.. you know that! Hahaha, we can prolly spend alot of time just texting, talking, chatting, just making a good laugh out of everything.. Well, if I get too akward, just here me out, I'll probably blurt out alot of compliments that a really meant but not thought of well, or make promises that even if I know its too hard to pull off, I'll probably still say it. I think I'm more idealist than realist. In the end, we probably be happy.

Or I may not even have met you.. If so, where the hell are you? I've probably thought about you before I sleep in bed or before I doze of in such a boring class.. What do you look like? Heck, I'm thinking of so many ways and things that I'd meet you or something like that.. all too mushy I can't even type it.. hahah.. In the end, I can guarantee I can make you laugh! hahaha..

So I'll ask God: Are you out there? Or right here? So I'll end with this.. To the world you may be only one person.. But to me, you could just be my world!

Whew! Mush ended..

The Day After..

This past weekend.. was just so amazing! Its just one whole blog moment.. From Friday night to Sunday night.. it was just so great.. I can't even put in the right words to start this post.. It was a mix of moments that I'll never ever dare to forget.. happy moments, kulitan moments, pasaway moments, crying moments, hassle moments, tiring moments, picture moments, akward moments, sleepy moments, worship moments, hugging moments, solemn moments, prayer moments, bonding moments..

It was like an extension of an already extending-almost-no-prof attendance..

Friday:

I spent the day polishing up my talk, which at that point I was doubting to be able to do in the first place since I have Saturday classes, which is when the camp will be held. So anyway, after thinking and discerning about my talk, which is also my first time, I took a nap since I was really sleepy.. Around 2 in the afternoon I want to my partner She's, who "took the day off", just to finish the IDs.. went there as well to lend a hand.. had a few good laughs, like looking at Olive's and partner's yearbook (hahahaha) went to church around 6pm, just to have a chat with God.. we got back late, then continued to finish the IDs..

Saturday

12 AM past I got home.. Didn't sleep right away since I was waiting up for Emman and Olive to come with their stuff, since we agreed to bring Olive to the advance party who was supposed to leave at around 430.. We just hung around the living room.. Nakatulog ako mga 4am and Emman hurriedly woke me up a few minutes later..

So off we went, no-hilamos, no-toothbrush, got the keys of the car from mom and went to SMB where the meeting place is supposed to be.. dropped my Luningning (Olive) sa SMB, where the advance party was having a few punctuality issues.. So after that we bid the advance party goodbye!!

Got back home hurriedly around 530 since I was gonna freshen up and get my stuff and my sister as well.. Went back to SMB, with Emman and my sis, saw the participants, loaded them up in the bus, we ran alittle late since we were of course waiting for the participants.. we even stopped by Petron C5 to wait for one of them..

Off we went.. Later we had to navigate thru a narrow road with a bus.. We finally ----------------------------

It'll be a very long post if I typed the whole weekend.. baka di ako matapos.. 2 hours na ako nagttype.. well I was jumping from sounds-typing-YM.. so I'll just stick to feelings.. It was just so fulfilling.. how one of what I think was my weaknesses when I was a wee bit younger didn't bother me at all.. public speaking used to be a great horror for me way back.. I just thank God for showing to me that, hey, I'm a changed man..

Feelings that can never be replaced --

How I felt that one way or another, my "kuya" aura seems to just keep oozing all over the people that I love..
How I felt even I have grown in some way, I still have alot more growing up to do..
How I felt that feeling of wanting to lead something like this, and the doubts that I have about it..
How a long journey, as much as my dogs hurt bad, seems nothing since I'm with the people that still I love..
How I'm eternally gratetful to friends from "work" that gave me the heads up..
How I felt that everything's gonna be fine after that..
How I'm gonna kick myself if one of these people will have a "one-time, big-time" apperance..
How God's touch cannot be comprehended by the human senses, just registering to the brain as a numbing sensation..
How after three cycles of praise songs there's still alot going in my head..
How I thought about the times I messed up, I really messed up..
How I felt tired and energized at the time..
How I realized that there are people who'll be walking this path with me..
How much fulfilling is it to have people trust me.. enough just to make me a crying shoulder.. promise natouch ako.. thank you!
How I'd just die for all these people that I love..

Thanks God for making me feel all of those..

Malas.

Well basically it's all because I missed something I wanted to have so bad.. I was looking forward to going to the METRCON this weekend at Laguna, just a weekend where I would supposedly enjoy it with the guys and gals of our cluster. I was initially not supposed to go, since it was my freakin' enrollment.. I just wished it didn't fall on this day.. But when Margaux that I could come since two in our cluster was not able to come, I had a small sliver of hope.. I was supposedly to meet the people at SMB at around 130pm..

I had planned it out, be at UST at around my scheduled enrollment time, (12-2pm), be done as fast as I could, be back at home, get my stuff, go to SMB.. I also had to enroll with 37,500 pesos, in cold cash, since mom ran out of checks.. I decided to bring our car `coz I thought it would be much faster..

I asked God "Sana walang pila sa enrollment!" Tsk.. kulang pa pala yung dinasal ko..

So I left our home, around 1030 am, sort of in an impulse, since Mom asked me to bring out the car since she was gonna use the van.. she also had no choice since even if I keep a low profile, having 37,500 pesos in hand just screams to be mugged.

On I went, and damn! Traffic! In my one year of having a non-pro license, I've never it encountered this bad. From right here in Doña Soledad, which I wasn't surprised since it was around noon after all.. traffic! then zoom into the highway, I was caught with my pants down! hell the line to the tollgate stretched up to a few meters after C-5, around a kilometer in all.. And I thought, "Hanggang tollway lang yan"

Again I was wrong.. You wouldn't see it until you were paying the toll fee.. It was like tollgate-a few meters-traffic jam..

There was no escaping it! It dragged on.. so scary to drive too, since there's no truck ban on weekends, its like a fleet of those big-ass trucks was let loose on the roads.. so there traffic from Nichols, thinned abit in Magallanes, until I was around the UST area, where as always, trucks and u-turns, and no-left turns are there..

I reached UST at around past 12.. Thank God madali lang nakahanap ng parking.. was at the seminary where the enrollment was held at around 12:30.. Godsent, wala nang pila sa enrollment!

On my way back to the carpark at around past 1.. pretty long walk haha.. started texted `coz I knew I wouldn't make it at 1:30..

Then again traffic! near C-5 again.. at least may kausap, di napanis laway ko.. until the Sun Valley Area.. a vehicle met an accident, literally, it's wheel came of..

Haha, when you look at it, it's just bad luck right there.. Pwede nga naman mag - Skyway.. I'm sure yun rin sinabi ng mga kasabay ko na natraffic..

Until it was made clear na hindi na ako makakasama sa Metrcon.. tsk.. Badvibes lang talaga noh?

A weekend that was initially going to be a boring one, supposedly to turn in a fun-filled, looking-forward-to weekend, turned back to be an even dull one.. Had my hopes up for nothing.

2006-10-27T07:53:00.000+08:00

And The Results Are:

Yeah!! Hahaha.. Let me just show of a little my grades hahaha.. Glad to know my hardwork really paid off.. and my cheating ways as well.. especially on PP (Professional Practice), Knowing the exact coverage of a test eased the studying.. Who the hell wouldn't want that? Given that the test that we had to take.. goes something like *Section 1701: *big blank* Section 1801 *big blank* Section 1901 *big blank* next page.. haha.. Our prof doesn't even give a multiple choice type of test. big whoop.. Hell, I did it as well in Logic at our Finals, since I didn't really freakin' care about what our prof and his so-called book stands for.

AS 1 DESIGN OF SIMPLE ELEMENTS TENSION 2.25
BT 5 ADVANCED BUILDING CONSTRUCTION METHODS 2.25
CADD AR COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING AND DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTURE 1.0
D 7 DESIGN VII 2.0
PHL 2 LOGIC 2.75
PLN 1 SITE PLANNING & LANSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 1.5
PP 1 BUILDING LAWS 1.75

Yey! Kaso tamad ng UST di marunong magaverage ng grades.. tsaka hiwalay pa sa clearance. tsk.

Added the description of every subject para ma-nosebleed kayo.. CADD was pretty much a no-brainer for me..

Well, we also have our schedule for this sem already.. and yet again I'm not yet satisfied with our sched.. Lagi naman eh.. I just don't want Saturday classes! *I really really don't* It just keeps me away from the people that I love haha.. from the tropa and my beloved cluster in YFC..

Our schedule even involves a Wednesday 7am - 1pm with a repeat at Saturday 7am - 2pm! And its the Majorest of all our major subjects Design.. Imagine during Wednesdays and Saturdays, no breakfast, no lunch.. Wednesdays our break goes up until 230.. and then classes straight to 730 pm *WTH no dinner either?!* The reason the schedule wasn't so cramped last sem is because our Design class is divided into three days.. Next thing we'll know one whole day nalang ang Design, then we'll all gladly die..

In other-stuff-that-really-matters-to-me, it just plain sucks that I won't be able to go the Metrocon again this year.. and now it's because of a really hassle "event" - our enrollment! I was really looking forward to go and then to watch our Gag go to ILC (let's keep our fingers crossed).. Well, I could just as easily ask a blockmate a enroll for me, but nah, it'd be a hassle to them as well, and I don't like people doing stuff that I should be doing..

To sum it all up, I am pretty bored here at home.. go figure.

2006-10-14T23:11:00.000+08:00

Finally..

Hay.. At long last, it's finally over.. this sem has been a tough one, with first time profs, bigger projects, new classmates, cramped classrooms, dysfunctional curriculum, no-social life schedule, echoing reminders of how close we are to our mother of all THESIS in fifth year, that no matter what we think and how happy we aer now, it'll change come this 2nd sem..

And I stand here, accomplished and fulfilled, such a very freakin' huge load taking of me.

Hahaha.. lookie here.. I'm 20 yrs old.. *woot* it's not one of those fun-filled birthdays that I usually have.. not that people forgot to greet me, it's just that were all busy! Work just sucks the fun out of everything.. Everyone was just so tired that no one's bothering to come to our outing.. Hope the mood changes after a good night's sleep..

*Erased a huge chunk of text since I know people won't change because of things that I wrote*

Thanks sa mga tumulong sa akin sa pagkulay *steffipie, les and amiel, and of course my dear utol tep* Its nice to have a pair of arms when I really needed it the most..

I feel so fuckin' down for some reason..

Amusing Tidbit

Why Adam Sandler depicted an architect for his role in his movie "Click"? Here it is.. Enjoy!!

Architects are sexiest

What’s wrong with being sexy?

Architects have been voted the sexiest male professionals in a survey of women’s ideal partners.

The survey, conducted by the introduction agency Drawing Down the Moon, found that women favoured architects “due to the esteem associated with the profession”.

Architects are seen as being “balanced and rounded individuals who combine a creative approach with a caring, thoughtful disposition”, the survey found. It concluded: “Their ability to cope with pressure of work in a relaxed manner was also deemed to be a significant plus.”

Male architects beat stockbrokers, doctors, film directors and teachers on the top spot.

However female members of the profession fared less well and did not feature in the top 10 out of male preferences.

RIBA president David Rock commented that architects were probably unaware of their animal magnetism: “Architects were probably the only group on the list whose self-image is lower than their public image”, he said, but added: “Mind you, you have to question the veracity of any list that includes drama teachers”.

RIBA Architecture Gallery director Alicia Pivaro, who is married to architect Paul Monaghan, said she thaugt male architects were highly attractive: “Being married to the architecture’s Mr Sexy, I would have to agree.”

But she was surprised at the failiure of women architects to appear on the list. “All the ones I know are very sexy”, she said.

Men instead voted PR executives the sexiest profession for females, followed by actresses and journalists.

An Underdog Story And A Cinderalla Finish

Forget bagyong Milenyo.. hell I'm not gonna post about that weekend.

I'm sure any basketball afficionado *naks* would know UST won!!!!! yahooooo!!!! And I''m not about to make this post into a sports-column-number-crunching etc etc.. I just love do-or-die matches especially in the NBA and even more in yesterday's match since my school is a part of it. It felt really good since no one expected that UST would go this far, being 2-5 as the lowest that they ever went. The thrill was so much to bear.. I watched at home and I was sweating so much, not to mention that the camera was position behind the seats where the Thomasians were made my home viewing much more realistic. The game was really good... astig sobra.. the fact that it was settled in overtime listed as one of my best TV moments right away.

It shows na pinamigay nila ang Game 1! wahahahahaha!

Now I can smother my Ateneo-rooting friends! Hooray!

One Last Hurdle

Well, our second boring major plate is done.. and Thank God our last plate is abit more interesting.. And obviously looking at the post below this one, dated way back in August, yes, it has been a few busy weeks.. lemme bring you up to speed:

1. After a few months of 4th year life, I've getting more calls from my subconsciousness inviting me to quit architecture.. year after year, school always saps the life out of me, especially my social life (mall? ano yun?!) and obviously my calculating nature would say, "hell NO!" and one of the reasons is because I have this conversation with numerous people now:

Person: uy, ano na nga ba year mo?
Me: 4th year..
Person: uy! graduating na ah!!
Me: er, no.. 5 years arki e..
Person: lapit na rin a..

and so on.. I'm sure no person would quit with only 2 years of college left.. I'm pretty excited on doing my thesis for 5th year, even though I have no idea and still not thinking of what I plan to do.. Its just the weary road.. crappy sched, long commute, tons of work load, no inspiration, but hey, ain't nothing to it but to do it. and also excited for life after college as well!!

2. After weeks, months of dealing with what I call and just shrug off as a "minor" cough, I finally went to the EENT a few weeks ago and have been going weekly.. Not to worry sports fans, TB results are a negative! Well, mom thought it was TB.. doc says that it could be an allergy.. which I would know since I thought I was impervious to most allergies (Mom had tons of allergies when I was in her womb) Also, doc is EENT nga so she also checked my ears and weirds enough I have alot of wax on my right ear, and it involved me putting some oil on it every night before the checkup this afternoon..

She put a sucking-probing-thingy on my right ear, a few clamps here and there and walla! I chunk of eraser-ng-mongol-like of ear wax came right out.. Not used to it though.. everything seems a bit louder.. more echo-er.. there's no pain so I think nothing's wrong naman.. I can hear a louder tapping of the keyboard and a rawring of the fan...

3. Weeee! Sector Conference this Monday!! Just bought my "striking red" shirt kanina and I can't wait to see the whole gang perform and just see them once again!! go guys.. and also partner's bday sa monday!! happy birthday to you partner!!

4. This recurring phenomenon, and still ongoing weird thing happening, and for the whole of my college life, I've been receiving emails from the registrar of dlsu.edu.ph.. well, they added me in the yahoogroups anyway, so what the hey? I receive emails concerning emails like enrollments, graduation applications, commencement excercises and many more.. not that I read them anyway, I just added this since an email came while I was typing these stuff..

5. And lastly, sembreak is coming! Which also means my birthday is coming!! Or is it the other way around?! weee happy 2 decades wahahah!! And as my fellow blog-eers posted their "happy 20-year old" post in their own blogs, I have to come up with something creative as well (nyak) hahaha.. I'm gonna need to do come up with something to do.. since sembreak starts Oct. 14 (?) - Nov. 6 (?) well, not those exact dates..

2006-08-23T08:50:00.000+08:00

Silence

Last night, I arrived home really late for a normal 9pm dismissed school night since our carpool's owner's brother was on a pasaway mode .*remembers aissa cussing* Not just late, but mom-already-texting-late! It was a rather typical "work"day, drafting in Design class, working out calculations at AS (sa sobrang nosebleed nangopya nalang ako) and copying notes at the tone-down class of Planning..

I just noticed that when I had recently cut my nails, I forgot to cut the nails from my left ring finger.. banggag hahaha..

And when people went back to sleep after opening the door for me, just sat down drinking milo and eating some biscuits (naks pang commercial) while texting my partner (awww, get well soon partner) just catching up on stuff.

I suddenly realized the silence around me, no TV, no trikes passing by (even at 11pm, there's still many trikes, since our home is located on a main road) all the lights turned off. Silent enough that I here the clock ticking *tick tock* and the humming of the refrigerator. Now, usually it would freak people out.. Mom always told that whenever there is silence, God is always there.. hence the Filipino saying, May dumaan na anghel.. well, good thing I had my partner to talk to, or else I would have noticed the silent darkness around me. (as if naman matatakot ako noh) I planned to work on my BT plate but what the hell, dali lang nun e..

Gud morning!!

Nosebleed

Well, prelims week (midterms) is nearly over, been studying the whole day for Saturday's haggard test of PP (Professional Practice), as the term almost immediately implies a major nosebleed on common folk, (naks) me studying itfor the whole morning wrecked my nerves.. The handouts are f***ing long, as they are composed of different legalities, Republic Acts and the such.. in short, ITS THE LAW.
Mix it with my laidback attitude towards studying and such, and my hate for authority, legalities and formalities (remembers C.A.T days hahahahaha), I found (yes, found, inaral ko na kasi) the subject to be extremely boring.. pero syempre, you know me.. if it means me failing if I don't give a damn about it, then malamang aaralin ko.. hahha..

Actually, what I did was more of a semi-study, since I just highlighted/skimmed thru the pages..

And so to continue on with the ranting, the next test after PP isn't as exciting as all.. Exciting meaning I don't like to take it seriously.. Logic.. aside from the crappy and grammatically incorrect book, the crappy and grammatically incorrect prof is another reason why most, if not all of us hate this subject.

And to add more, the AS 1 test was a hassle.. who the hell could answer: "what is the section modulus of a rectangular section" hehehe.. Planning was relatively easy though..

Don't worry, just a few more to rant about.. I was hoping to have a long weekend, having no classes at both Monday and Tuesday.. but our prof in CADD rescheduled our test on Monday *great*, then again, CADD lang yan e.. the weekend also became shorter because of our prelims plate in Design (wah?!) Aquatic Museum.. and to cut the weekend even shorter, still have to finish our research..

And lastly, Metro Manila assembly was cancelled.. awwwww I miss those guys already..

masarap talaga magreklamo once in awhile noh?

Disclaimer: Ripoff from an email, Emvin and Emman's blog.. popost ko sana dati nakalimutan ko lang e.. hahaha.. i find it.. amusing..

The Guys' Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guys' side of the story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules"
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one .

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will Be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,
or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape! <--- basically doesn't apply to me..

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

As a Friend..

Ain't it sad, that no matter how close you are to any friend of yours, that everytime he or she suffers, that you could only do so much as a friend? yes, you are able to comfort him or her and all that.. but in the end, you can't really change anything.. and to know the whole story and the bigger picture, but still you're in no position to bite the bullet for that friend.. not that you don't want to.. you simply can't! It's such a heartbreaker that a dear friend suffers at this moment, and while you can comfort her, you just know it isn't enough.. and it irks.. kasi naawa ka at mahal mo yung kaibigan na yun ng todo.. Alam mong nahihirapan siya at this very moment, you pray to God and question Him.. bakit? You know that there's an even bigger picture than this.. that only He can see and understand..

And then you realize, no wonder you worry and can't help but sigh.. if only you can see what He sees..

As a friend, you can only do so much.. as a friend..

Not a 100%

Hayz.. my cough's acting up again (para akong matanda ah).. Blame it on the crazy weather, suffocating pollution when commuting and couple it up with school stress and the tons of things going on in mind.. it's no surprise na something could develop.. Dad says its TB.. hahah hell no?! wth?! I can't believe that.. Partner Sheila says it could be mild asthma, since she has the same thing..

Hayz.. I just wished all these coughs could go away.. its so annoying.. hanggng ubo lang.. I'm not even bedridden yet.. ubo lang talaga.. hassle noh?

2006-07-23T16:19:00.000+08:00

A Breather

haha, haven't blog for awhile now.. more than 1 month.. you know how arkilife can be a hassle.. well, you don't.. but i'm sure you've heard enough stories..

lemme start with Last Sunday.. our cluster SB2, went to the Sector assembly of SouthB over at Rogationist at Sucat.. it was such a blast dahil sakto yung talk.. Worries.. haha.. obviously yung inaalala ko is the major plate.. but seeing the guys and gals in the cluster is always such a boost to me.. mahal ko sila e.. the more thought na may meeting.. excited na agad ako.. *toinks*

nwei, it's just a relief that our first major plate.. a so-called Minimalist Hotel Beach Resort in Bohol *nosebleed* is finally over, submitted, and done with!

hahah then I realize the break won't be too long.. doi.. asa pa.. that plate was just a hurdle to the up coming challenges that I'll face along with my classmates..

hayz.. eto lang muna guys.. la masyado bloggable moment.. gusto ko update yung multiply ko kaso nakakatamad.. dami nang events e..

2006-06-13T19:15:00.000+08:00

Pang gabi majority! hahahaha.. No limelight life again?!

I almost cried, it's this type of sched that literrally stresses me and kills me.. I literraly just turn into a mindless drone.. nothing but work/sleep/eat in my mind.. i'm a late-morning to early evening person.. I always like to spend 8pm - onwards at home or at least any other relaxing activity.. unlike now, I'd may be commuting home, because of a potential conflict with Ais' sched in UAPSA..

The sched itself was reminiscent to 3rd year 1st sem.. hahaha..picture picture sa SMB!

And now, the good news!!! I had a great weekend!! It's just weird that for almost every weekend in May, I was out of this lovely home.. let's see.. FLT for our Camp, then the victorious YFC SB2 camp, then the cutee Kids Camp with B2 and B9, then just this weekend, our YFC outing!!!

Let me start Friday night.. Dunno how, but I ended up chatting till 1 or 2 AM, Saturday morning! Iba talaga pag TUBE (The Ultimate Bonding Experience) sa YM confe.. halos for every night this week, puro conference kami.. hehe buti nalang masipag sa YM mga new members namin.. masarap sila maka-TUBE kasi kahit NFF lang kami (New Found Friends) nakakapagshare sila ng mga deep experiences.. kaya umabot kami ng 2 am e! uber TUBE moment with Olive, Che-Che and Janine..

And now Saturday morning.. I woke up about 6, packed my bags then off we went to SMB, the meeting place as usual by us.. greeted Nashee since it was her birthday!!!! happy birthday Nashee!!!!!! a few pics here and there.. and then we're off! To Tanay!! I joined the crew in our EJ-owned, Emvin-driven YFC mobile!! hahahah.. sawang sawa na ako sa Crazy Right Now.. hahahah.. we were dancing away with the boom-boom music.. harot!! hahah sobrang benta talaga kapag kami kami nagsasama.. 5 car convoy kami.. hahaha.. eventually upon reaching Rizal, we got lost due to some navigational problems (hehehe nice Margaux and Paulo!!) heheh.. we were so lost, that we got upon a road that led back to Manila.. hahaha..

Makinig ka, Betty died last night, did she die? YES!

We arrived around lunch time at Sacramento Valley.. some ate their lunches while others already had eaten in the cars.. Emman may utang ka nga pala 100 sakin a.. Lee-an taught a few songs, we had our Worship, bunked in our barrack (heheh singular for barracks daw).. hahah.. then we broke into 4 teams, Emvin-Olive, Emman-Abby, Migi-Cuddles and me-Karen.. we named our team HHWWMPSSP.. dunno why.. si Lee-An kasi e.. heheh..

as we went to the Camp Site, grabe inulan kami.. hahaha.. we stood there for a few minutes dahil di alam kung ano gagawin.. hahahha.. then God made a speech and said "naligaw na kayo at lahat, papayag ba kayo na magpatalo sa ulan?" then we were off, running/walking to the Camp Site..

I remember 3 years ago, we also went here for our outing.. back then we drove to the camp site.. this time we were on foot! heheh.. grabe lakas ng ulan!

Thank God wala naman ata nagkasakit.. hahah.. as we came to the rapelling area.. the rain stopped... and turned into a perfectly sunny afternoon! As in! hahaha.. binasa lang kami!! hahaha.. nagrapel kami.. heheh sabay kami ni Emman, na kapwa duwag pagdating dyan.. hahah.. nagrapel ng sabay.. hahahah.. it was just great that we were cheering each other on.. hahaha..

We conquered this tower!!

then next was the obstacle-rope course, grabe hassle..
tampisaw ba naman sa putikan?! grabe ang dumi namin! hahaha.. bawal KJ e.. hahaha.. then we walked back to the Camp Site, kasabay ko mga kateam ko, then some ran ahead, naiwan kami nila Leonard, Karen and Sheila.. haha.. pagod na si Sheila kaya nagpahila samin pataas.. heheh natakot siya sa manok.. ganda ng lugar talaga.. hay.. presko talaga.. ibang iba sa Manila..

then go, we swam at the swimming pool.. haha, we also held a game there.. heheh.. grabe, haha.. I was shiverring.. hahah.. blue na daw lips ko sabi nila.. hahaha.. di na kayanan ng macho (nyerks) body ko e.. hahaha.. and after that, we had our dinner na.. It started raining again.. semi-open pa naman yung Caimio hall.. heheh.. halos kakatuyo palang ng jacket ko, buti nalang may bubong.. hahah ang lamig ng hangin.. weeeee presko talaga.. iniram na muna ni Nhica, my NCF (new close friend sabi niya) yung jacket ko.. haha..sarap ng dinner.. joke time kami saglit.. then broke into our teams, then prepared a short something for E-Night.. hehe kahit pagod na kami, syempre okei lang..

hehe obviously Team Beh (Emvin-Olive) had a hilarious performance hahaha.. benta.. tama ba naman gayahin ako Olive? lika nga rito.. then with that, nagworship kami.. then sleepy time na.. heheh.. nagTUBE muna kami ni Nash at Emman sa top bunk namin ng saglit.. medyo natigil.. la magawa sa barrack kaya nag langit lupa mga tao.. tama ba naman magtatakbo sa loob?!

Tulog... then Sunday!! grabe mass daw.. sa gitna ng kawalan ba naman yung chapel!! kung mahaba yung hike namin papunta ng chapel, this one was way longer.. grabe.. naririnig na namin yung boses ng nasa chapel, pero di namin makita.. mahaba habang lakaran talaga.. kakafagod..

parang SMB - to Dona Soledad.. yung distance sa sobrang layo, haha.. half lang ng mass nabutan ko.. yung iba mas late pa.. and syempre there was the hike back.. namiss ko yung mga picture picture kasi pagod na talaga ako.. hahah.. kasabay ko si Nhica paakyat.. si Nina rin nung malapit na.. hinanap ko agad water pagbalik sa hall.. muntik na ata di natuloy yung Splunking? Cave-Exploration daw yun.. heheh.. tumuloy about 30+ of them, hahah jampacked in 2 cars (our YFC-mobile and a Kate's Adventure), Nhica went home since my Cebu trip pa daw siya, we all said our goodbyes to her..

Grabeh.. Ilan sila dyan sa YFC mobile?! 18!

Di na ako sumama along with Cuddles, Steffi, Abby Aira, EJ, Paolo, JR, Miguel.. heheh binantayan ko sila by sleeping while the guys were playing Bball.. nagTUBE si Aira at Cuddles ng saglit.. si Steffi naman was doing her assignments (grabeh sipag) natulog si Cuddles maya maya.. si Steffi at Abby rin.. haha.. ang sarap ng tulog lang..

Cave-Exploration and Waterfalls moment nila.. I missed this..

Welcome galing sa mga katutubong naninirahan sa kweba!

Inside the Cave..

Isang normal na araw sa loob ng kweba..

Water Trekking

Tampisaw sa may tubigan!!

With that we all went home.. hahah.. kumpleto parin syempre yung YFC mobile.. sumayaw nanaman kami haha.. favorite nanamin yung casette tape na yun.. grabeh.. hahah nag TUBE kami ng mga guys pabalik.. at nabuo ang Maix fans club!!! awwwww.. we lab ya Maix! hahahah.. we did that.. the outing ended..

43 teens, 5 cars, 2 days, 1 outing.. I miss it already..

Enrollment ko later, and the looming sched (ayaw ko talaga ng may Sabado) doesn't seem to bother me.. si God na bahala!

2006-05-31T23:15:00.000+08:00

The Benchwarmers

Today, I went on a date with the guys again, JJ and Gino, and this time, Lev tagged along.. we watched The Benchwarmers (duh, kaya nga yun yung heading ko e).. Obviously, madaming pera sila JJ at Gino dahil nagtawag nanaman.. tsk tsk.. The movie proved to be hilarious, comedic, funny and an hour and a half of my life better that I'll never be able to take back.. it proved to be shallow and stupid.. korny na sa huli.. hehehe.. I perfectly understood why nadisappoint si JJ.. hehehe.. kala ko it was only because of the crowd behind us..

Overall, it was good though, pampasabaw ng utak, pampaubos ng braincells, pampabobo, pampatawa, pampagastos ng pera at pampanga *toink*.. You guys know, madali lang naman ako matawa at ma-impress..

And looking at it.. 1 hour nalang.. June na!! Hehehe.. malapit na outing!! at enrollment!! at pasukan... *booooo* next time na natin pagusapan yun a? hehehe..

I'll cut this one short.. I'm estatic about Yeni's Euro-trip.. heheh.. Architect's paradise daw ba? naiingit ako.. later peeps..

2006-05-30T12:29:00.000+08:00

X-men: The Last Stand

Yesterday, I went on a date with JJ and Gino, my movie buddies sa SMB.. *super low budget.. sorry na*

I guess I overrated the film since people kept saying how great it was.. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie, it just had too much going on.. Cyclops? ayun.. sininggit lang.. pina-Optic blast lang sa tubig.. other than that.. *doi* asan na? lolz.. mahal daw talent fee kasi sabi ni JJ.. and then he suddenly died/disappeared/turned to dust by Phoenix..

Angel naman.. sininggit lang rin.. nagkaroon lang sila ng moment na nilagtas niya dad niya.. duh..

basta korny.. I didn't think that the battle was as colossal as I thought.. it was very nice though! ganda ng mga fight scenes.. I sort of was shocked nung naging kulangot si Charles..

And I'm sure alot of your friends will say.. "wag muna tatayo after ng credits" And syempre *spoiler* mabubuhay daw si Xavier.. naman.. I just wished that the scene lasted longer.. it was like just 5 seconds... I anticipated that too much as well.. tae nabitin lang talaga ako sa whole movie.. I just wished it was longer..

2006-05-29T12:35:00.000+08:00

Kids.. You just gotta love `em!

A week after our Youth Camp for this year, I thought it would go back to "normal", you know, to the world that nowadays, is full of bickering, struggling, suffering and all the hopeless negativity that I would point out..

No, I'm no pessimist, like other people, I just want some questions answered.. How, When, Why and all that.. I hope for those answers to come as they go..

Enter.. Kid's Camp.. the Bible says that in order for us to enter the kingdom of Heaven, we must maintain the childlike-innocence that we see in their eyes.. this all-new experience was even greater since we served with SB9, our fellow YFCs in SunValley, it was just fun, we barely knew each other, but both SB2 and B9, had a goal, and that is to show how much these would-be future leaders of our modern world..

Between B2 and B9, it was hilarious.. even if it was just a day and a half, our tradeoff of jokes showed there was a bond.. we all went home with new found friends..

and the kids? ang cute lang nila!! I've always loved taking care of kids, just making them smile was enough for me.. my "platoon" worked together especially in the games.. of course there was the typical shyness between kids, but at least they participated.. lalo na sa flag making.. galing nila magisip ng design! and magpaint as well.. to think these kids were just 8-12 years old.. our *playtoon* haha, bagged a few awards.. I just handed to mini-Nash, este, to Joey, our group awards, (a bag of mallows).. ang cute niya e..

And of course, there will be a kid that will standout, some with their talents, but this kid stood out because of his.. let's say, being pasaway.. I'm sure it tested out the team's patience, sort of how to explode without really exploding.. thanks to God for giving us a pesky kid beyond pesky.. kahit ako, medyo nabadtrip, ayaw kasi matulog nung lights out na.. tsk tsk tsk..

And as we went home, we almost commuted! super thanks to AJ of B1, being able to provide us a lift.. God sent talaga e.. ready na kami magcommute e.. thru that hot summer afternoon..

And of course, that same afternoon, we held our mini-cluster assembly, in preparation for this weekend's Summer Outing!! yahooo!!! it was nice to see some old faces.. and hear some new people talk as well..

We did a few planning for kung ano talaga balak namin for this cluster for the rest of the year, I just hope my Archi-life would be able to perfectly fit my YFC-life.. hopefully I'd be able to handle both.. *sana talaga walang Saturday class*

And with that, I'm patiently waiting for our outing.. date muna ako in an hour with Gino and JJ, my movie buddies.. hehehe..

2006-05-22T00:01:00.000+08:00

Post - Youth Camp Revelry...

You guys know.. I just have to blog about this weekend.. di ako makakatulog talaga if di ko malabas dito at least... the camp was very.. in a word, moving... Super daming moments na I was either laughing or thinking about some deep thoughts or anything talaga... in a word, inspiring... the talks and sharings, not just because of what they said, but because those speakers are the people that I looked up to talaga..

To us service team, grabe.. I'm so honored and happy to be able to serve with you guys.. most of you guys are young when it comes to years spent sa YFC, I mean, outside of the Kim Siong trilogy, only me, ate Kate, Lee-an, Cuddles, JR, JB, Carline and Emman are considered as "elders" I was actually afraid nung nagstart tayo magmeeting, kasi parang di ako sanay na wala yung "elders" sila kuya Norman, si ate at yung iba pa..

But all that changed talaga when we started preparing for the camp... we actually got work done! grabe! sobrang committed natin sa camp, having each other, got each other's back covered.. every step of the way was worth it with you guys.. we fought against SWs together.. and to start off.. (drum roll)

Emvin.. Thanks for leading us again.. you were bold and great talaga promise.. inspiring talaga.. not just sa mga pinagsasabi mo, but also sa actions mo.. you asked for help nung nahihirapan ka.. very humbling talaga.. as a you being leader, I was inspired that you shared your problems and concerns to us, the rest of the service team..

Kate.. I'm 100% sure na ayaw mo sana maging last camp mo na toh with us.. we know you're moving na.. thanks for the decade that you served in YFC.. kaw talaga tunay na elder namin..

Lee-An.. iba ka talaga.. astig ka dahil inspite your uber busy schedule, ginagawa mo pa talaga ng time para lang makapagserve sa camp.. thanks for teaching and telling us what we need to do..

EJ.. heheh thanks "the man!" nagawa natin yung workshop ng maayos! And very much indeed with our workshopmates supporting us...

Paulo and Margaux.. thanks rin sa mga sinabi niyo infront.. future leaders kayo sa cluster natin.. you know that..

Steffi.. thanks partner!! ang saya saya ng games natin.. heheh madaming nabasa.. ang ganda ng e-night, sayang lang di kinayanan ng backdrop natin.. mabigat siya.. hehehe.. di bale sa susunod aayus natin yan.. thanks rin for inspiring me.. and also for praying for me.. di ko alam exact words na sinabi mo, pero a couple of years with you seems enough for me to feel what you said that Saturday night.. I look up to you talaga..

Emman and Abby.. syempre, iba talaga hatak niyo! you guys gathered such a strong and bonded music min... kitang kita sa tugtugin niyo.. nadadala talaga kami.. thanks rin Emman sa sharings niyo...

to Elvin, Marvin, Ramesis, JB, Karlynn and Steffi ulit, thank you sa music!!!! niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. sa uulitin a!

Elvin, Marvin and Douille.. Faci na kayo next year ah?!

Karlynn.. uyyyy nagwhite siya!! wahahahaha!!

Migi and Nash... obviously, Kristo Big Brother was a hit!! hehehe.. sarap maging part ng main cast... hehehe.. I know the videos proved as a comedy and also a heart-moving thing for the participants.. pang Oscar awards!!

Cuddles.. hehe back to being inactive? sure ba yan? hehehe.. feeling ko hindi..

JR.. grabe pambato ng UPS!! pa-active natin ulit mga members dyan a?

Karen.. nalaman ko na nung camp kung bakit ikaw magiging partner ko sa CO.. saktong sakto e.. hehehe.. thanks for opening up to me.. promise, I got your back!! nalaman ko ang totoong ikaw e.. pakita mo rin sa iba yun.. babawi ka pa next year.. you have so much to offer.. Good work din sa first time!!

to Olive, Sheila, Janelle.. our lady first-timers.. thanks for serving, natouch niyo mga lady participants natin.. kaya ang bibbo nila e!! Thanks for your shear determination in touching your participants..

to Migi, Mark, Amiel.. our guy first-timers.. thanks for touching our guy partcipants.. maharot sila.. alagaan niyo sila a.. TY sa pagtambay at pagpapakain sa bahay nila amiel..

to my utol, Tep-Tep.. hehehe.. oh my G a? heheheh.. its nice na makita nagsserve kasama ka..

Thanks to all of you guys! Dami natin nakita potential leaders... back to wala-magawa mode nanaman.. hehe good luck sa may mga pasok na bukas!! wahahahah!!

Poem of St. Francis of Assisi

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was given health, that I might learn to obey.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I received nothing that I had asked for ----
Everything I had hoped for.
My prayers were answered.
