Lucky unlucky day!!

Nais ko lamang i-blog ang malas na maswerteng araw ko. I say lucky unlucky day, malamang dahil infatuated? ako..

I have my NSTP (CWTS) class during Saturdays, and after two consecutive absences in the course, sabi ko "Dapat hindi na 'ko magkaron pa ng absent." -- before my parents would be informed about my slight negligence.:D Kaya anyun nga't kahit gustung gusto pang matulog ng diwa ko kaninang alas sais ng umaga (puyat kasi), pinilit kong bumangon, prepared my breakfast na milo't gatas worth 15pesos (nakapakete kasi binibili ko). After breakfast, pakulo ng tubig pampaligo. At ayun! Kakasira ng araw. My uncomfortable and sometimes, painful days for the month has started. Alam niyo na? Yan ang unang kamalasan ko dahil sagabal sa exciting namang mga aktibidades namin sa school -- first aid training.

Alas siyete y media ang pasok ko pero mag-aalas otso na ako pumasok (Filipino time, alam niyo na). Inis naman ako dahil hindi acquainted sa assigned area ng klase (absent kasi the previous Saturday) at kinailangan ko pang hanapin ang mga kaklase ko, buti na lang may cellphone, isang text lang ok na. Thanks God, naabutan ko pa ang grupo ng aming klase sa may Accounting.

Instructor pala namin ang late kaya may time pa maglagalag pero sinamahan ko na lang bumili ng pagkain ang mahal kong si Sarah (di kasi nagbreakfast). Pagkatapos ng ilang dekadang pagpila ni Sarah sa canteen sa labas ng school, balik agad sa campus. Aba! aba! Gulat naman ako nang tawagin ako ng guard. Taka pa ako nung itinanong, "Saan ka pupunta?". May ganun? Nakauniporme nga ako ng CWTS eh, di pa ba obvious? Dahil di ko ma-gets si manong guard, hinayaan kong si Srah ang magsalita at nakikinig lang ako nang bigla na nmang nagsalita si manong at sabihin ba namang, "Bakit po ganyan ang suot niyo? Kung papasukin ko po kayo, pagagalitan ako." while looking at my rugged pants. At sabi pa, "Kita na ang hita mo." Kakalurkey lang talaga huh. The fact na ilang beses ko na ginamit pang-iskwela yung pantalon ko, ngayon langn ako naisipang sitahin???? Yan ang katwiran ko, at itanong ba naman sa mga guwadiyang sa car entrance/exit lang assigned, Pero ha, pero bigla ako nakaramdam ng hiya. andami kayang nagdadaang mga estudyante. Potek talaga dahil lingon sakin ang karamihang pumapasok habang punagsasabihan ni manong guard. Kaya naman nag-decide na lang akong magpalit ng pants tutal malapit lang ang tinutuluyan kong boarding house. Aminin ko, napaluha pa talaga ako sa pagkapahiya ko. Ikalawang kamalasan!!!

Bumalik pa ako sa school na nakairap sa guwardiya at halos me pagmumurang lumabas sa bibig. :))

Lumipas naman ang asar at inis ko nang magsimula na ang first aid training -- lovers carry, fireman carry, etc! Di nga lang umabot samin yung bandage training.

At ang pinaka-exciting talaga, ang RAPPELLING activity!!! Yehey!! Naranasan niyo na siguro and perhaps, it doesn't even sound interesting for you pero ako talaga, excited. Una, tinuruan kami kung paano ayusin yung rope para sa katawan (di ko alam ang tawag) na gagamitin sa pag-descend. UU na, ignorante ako. Di naman masama diba? Peo banas ako sa part na yan dahil ang  mag-rappel talaga ang gusto ko. Kainis nga eh. Kinailangan ko pa maghintay ng ilang oras dahil nung oumila ako, bigla ako inutusan ng instructor namin.

Bandang alas dos na ko nakapila uli samantalang alas dose nagsimula yung activity.

Sa wakas, my turn! Alas tres na kanina. Kinabitan ako ng kung anu anung mga gamit sa rappelling.

Excited pa ako umakyat sa top floor ng UB building. At, at.

At sinuswerte nga naman ako, yung gwapong facilitator ang nag-assist sa'kin. Bonggang bonggang pagpapa-cute naman ako. At siyempre, moment ko yun. Saya saya ko talaga. Crush lang naman. Pero a big big thanks dahil kahit papano, masaya ang araw ko. Idagdag pang tinanong kung ilang taon na ako, at kung taga-saan ako. Oh diba? Alam ko namang di na niya kailangang itanong ang pangalan ko dahil bago bababa mula sa top floor ng building gamit ang lubid, sasabihin pa ang "I [pangalan] blah blah blah...ready to rappel!" Siyempre, mairinig niya yun dahil kelangang marinig ng isa pang facilitator na nakahawak ng lubid sa baba. UU na nga, para yun lang! Ambisyosa naman ako.:))

Ayun na ang pinakahihintay ko. Pero pasensya na, wala talaga akong wide store of vocabulary. Meaning, can't grasp adjectives to narrate how I felt when I rappelled. Ganun pala, kung nasa baba ka lang na nanonood ng mga taong bumababa mula sa tuktok, nakakaexcite masyado. Pero pag ikaw na ang nakasampa at kahit pa may mga tao namang alam mong aalalay sa'yo, nakakanerbyos ng bonggang bongga.

Siyempre pa, proud naman talaga ako sa bago kong experience. Kahit papano, nagawa ko. di gaya ng iba, umatras dahil sa nerbiyos. Napatunayan kong wala akong "fear of height". hehe.. Nakalimutan ko nga naman kasi ang term  eh.:)

In my Philo.18 class

-->

I really don't know how to start this post. But my purpose in writing this one is to voice out what I was supposed to tell my Philosophy 18 instructor.

First and foremost, I viewed his action too unprofessional. Here how it started:

I was absent by the time he gave our class an assignment – to make a reflection paper. But as a trying hard to become a responsible student, I asked my classmates for an update regarding the topics previously discussed. I also asked them what the following lesson would be and they just answered me, "may assignment, reflection paper." "Reflection saan?" , I asked again. "Reflection sa subject." was the answer. I was disoriented about the guidelines my classmates didn't inform me of. So, I presumed it was like the one we made last semester.

Before starting mine, I thought of the vague lectures delivered in the class and I decided to include them in my reflection paper. And mind you, when we say reflection paper, it is somewhat personal and it is up to us what to talk about in there. Another one I considered in composing my work is that, in the university, we (students) are given the right to speak our minds; since class sessions aren't allotted for it, I presumed that the reflection paper could be an alternative for me to reveal what bugs me.

And mind you again, I couldn't always muster up enough courage to talk to my professor face-to-face, that's why I did my reflection paper as a medium to let him know all these "shits".

Then in our class two hours back, he cleared himself. As in he really explained himself. And guess what he told me? " I am sorry but I failed you!" Isn't it too unprofessional thing to do for instructors like him? Though he didn't directly talk to me, I am very particular of how he sounded – and all those "shits" he muttered in the class were for me. Now, who agrees he didn't take the case personally?

Before I submitted my work, I even asked some friends if it looked okay and they all approved except for one who told me, "Wag mu na lang masyadong kontrahin, baka ibagsak ka pa."

One of my options for now is to find time and manage to face him and clear myself too. He can fail me, right? But in the basis of my performance not because of the damned thing that made him feel bitter. Agree?

-->

To give you an idea of the reflection paper I made, here's one of the lines I scribbled:

"...is rather catholic in nature."

But you know what he exclaimed in the class? He Simply said that, what he teaches us aren't PURELY catholic. (okay, okay. It was all my mistake)

I was near to tears by then. Somehow, I handled my emotions and managed to hide it for a while. As I stepped out of the D104 room, I could no longer handle the pressure and let my tears fall.

Eto lamang po ang drama ko ngayong araw.

trying hard to make an update:)

As some might noticed, I don't have much time to blog now or more appropriate to say, I don't often face blog sphere like before anymore for I have decided not to spend too much time browsing the internet, for good. As of now, it's a convenient time to update my blog for the second time this year -- it's my free time and we (I and my group mates) just finished our output in History.

Well, though it's a bit late to talk about, I just really want to have something to post. [In this case, I must admit that I know very little about the current events and issues happening in the country] I just read an article about the changing of tourism logo, the line Wow! Philippines (wow stands for world of wonders, of course you know that) was about to be changed into Pilipinas kay ganda. Although it was liked by many, especially by the ones of my age, I agree that changing it from "Wow! Philippines" to "Pilipinas kay ganda" wouldn't sound appropriate. Basically, because if we were to describe Philippines, the descriptive languages to be brought out would not fall under the term "ganda", and how much more with the line "kay ganda". Another reason is that, how tourist would tourist react? Of course, the question to be formulated in their minds could be "ano raw?" (in their own languages). Would you be patient enough to explain its meaning all the time?

The situational change in the tourism field was disapproved by P-Noy and some others, and it even received "rain of heckles" as it was stated in the piece I read. I wonder ir\f my co-bloggers who blogged about their approval in the said change knew about this case. I wonder if they made analysis before posting and publishing their complimenting entries. I also wonder if posting such felt so right for them (for I am hesitant in posting this one). But at one point, I admire you guys for your time to gather news updates.:)

Pagbigyan mo naman ako..:(

kaninang umaga sa Accounting class under Mr. Susi. (7:00-8:00)

Sir Susi was about to write my name on the seat plan beside Cherry's name, pero nasa likod kasi yun, pinakalikod actually at gusto ko sa harap.


Me: Wala bang available dito sa harap Sir?


Sir Susi: (pointing to the vacant seats)


Me: Uhm. Dito na lan Sir (pointing to the seat nearest to his table)


Sir Susi: Pumili ka na lang ng iba.


Me: Bakit Sir?


Sir Susi: Baka magulat ka pag nakita mo yung nakaupo diyan. (pointing to the seat next to the seat I chose at nakatawa pa)


Me: Hala Sir! katabi lang naman. Gusto ko kasi dito sa harap.


Sir Susi: Nag-aalala ako sayo eh. Pumili ka na lang sa dalawa diyan (referring to the seats behind the one I chose)


No choice, sinunod ko na lang.


Then in the middle of the lecture arrived the boy Sir Susi was talking about.


Ayun, ang ingay pala. Sobrang nakakairita.


  ______________________________________________

Sa klase naman namin ng English. (1-2:30)


May nagtext. Na-curious naman ako dahil sa talk 'n text ang gamit ko at kokonte lang ang nakakaalam ng numero kong yun, wala pang sampu. At totoo ding madalang ako maka-receive ng text dun dahil puro tawag, galing pa sa iisang tao..:)) Kaya naman dali dali kong in-open, expecting it was from the guy I really really like.
At pag-open ko, nabasa ko ang "Mam" na ipinangalan ko sa professor namin ng Accounting.


At eto ang sabi...


"Good PM [my name], I have referred your case to the dean of Accountancy and she told me not to allow you to transfer (from her class to Mr. Susi's). Transfers are only allowed during the first weeks of the semester. I have already informed Mr. Susi about it. Tapos na kasi prelims eh. I'm sorry but we have policy to follow."


Ayun! at di na ako nakapag-concentrate makinig sa lecture sa English.


Pareho na nga kasi silang pumayag nun, ipinaalam pa sa dean, wala na sanang problema. May dalawang rason kasi kong bakit gusto ko lumipat. One is ___ and the other is ___.. haha.. akin na lang..
Anyway, I have decided to take it as a challenge.

ang aming new year..:)

December 30, 2010.. One year has passed since then kasi 2011 na oh. The day everybody started to prepare for  New Year's Eve celebration, but it was very different at home. We almost had nothing, not even a cent we thought, for us to enjoy the coming of 2011. However, we managed not to display sadness though we really thought New Year's Eve would turn out to be an air of Good Friday, nothing to celebrate blissfully and noisily. And we had no choice rather than to accept the realization of melancholic approach of new year to us. Then 31st of December 2010 came. I and my sisters preferred to get up very late for nothing excited us – we would not celebrate new year eh. But Mom surprised us. She came home from market holding bags of ingredients for macaroni salad and spaghetti, and a kilo of chicken meat. Of course, as what we customarily do at home, she brought home some round fruits that symbolizes money. So, our mood brightened up. Right after taking our breakfast, I and my sisters and mom helped each other in preparing the foods for media noche. Some family members stayed at home, my sister's boyfriend stayed with us, too. We joined the countdown show of ABS-CBN, opened the stereo and made it very loud to replace firecrackers – we had it boisterously. Then when countdown was up, we went for the foods. After eating, some visitors started to come. And when it was our turn to visit houses, we chose one of my sisters' boyfriend's place.

Wala lang..:)

I have been planning to blog for my last entry this year but seems nothing comes to my mind. Not even a trifling kind that I usually blog.

Well, again, I am just trying very hard to say something now that I've got much time to stay here in front of a friend's laptop. hehe!

My friend Novi fetched me at home last night to invite me at her house. And admittedly, I dunno if I have to feel guilty for participating in such celebration we INC members do not commemorate though I intended not to really celebrate for the Christmas--birth of Jesus Christ as how other religions claim it. And as a part of the celebration, but I'd rather call it jamming with friends, we planned to have a drinking spree that unfortunately halted, and we went to sleep instead. Haha! Because we neglected to buy juice for chaser of course.

Right at this point, we--I and friends--are waiting for some blessings to fall, food to eat, beverages to drink and whatever may fall. haha.. Wala kasing handa tong pinuntahan namin. Perhaps, we'll go back to a friend's house later for the booze.  And, and, and...I really do not have something important in mind right now. I don't wanna think of the worries in school. Hay!! See, I still have notes to review para sa examination. And as school gets back on our nerves next year, there are the results of exam we have can't avoid to worry for. Hahaha..:))

Honestly, my family has bot yet planned for the New Year's Eve and I worry for this. Who would want to disregard the essence of the unfolding of another year? that's it. I always want it blissful and noisy as how you want it to be.

Very little for now pero naghihintay kasi mga barkada ko eh. haha

just an update

Preliminary examination is finally over! Oh, I am so happy now that I can start enjoying my vacation though my plans turned out undone. It doesn’t matter anyway, I will still enjoy the break – relax and brainwash myself for I wish to do good in school next year and ditch my unethical values I displayed this year inside the class.

Honestly, I never had contentment in my school performances since first semester. I can’t find reason why I tend to be too shiftless and really flaunted a prosaic mind – I was as if starting in school as illiterate. God! All I always wished was to get a “passing grade” instead of obtaining “high”. And know what, I should not have waited for someone to suggest me to “aim” at least to dig up place in dean’s list. Err. Furthermore, there are some who expect much from me but unfortunately, I seem to be neglectful of their attention.

Anyway, I have so much in mind right now but I remember the party I have to attend at the top floor of our boarding house. Err. Hopefully, I’ll have enough time to blog next time I open my account. And oops, one thing I want to admit is that I am running out of terms to use kaya medyo hindi na naman masabi ang ninanais – English and tagalog terms alike, nawawala sa sistema ko. Haha. Slow!:)

Thank You!

Another year is again on the horizon. -- This year of earthly journey is nearing to enclose and another one is yet to come — a continuation perhaps of the challenge God has set for each of us — and another chance to fulfill our purpose in life.

But behind the afflicting smithereens and flaws of life we inevitably dealt with, there were people and events alike that made our existence and yearly battle more meaningful and lively – things that made our lives worthwhile, colorful and complete. Have we ever said "thank you" to the ones who touched our lives even in their simplest ways? Have we expressed our gratitude to our Almighty Father, who despite our forbidden acts, still forgives, bless and loves us?

As this year unfolds, I want to grab this very opportunity to at least let everyone [who has been with me through the tiring moments, dull and joyful days this challenging life brought about in my life] know that I appreciate his/her stay with me.

Oops! I think I am not gonna recall every single name who has spiced up my life but you guys, worth an appreciation, you know yourselves!

Here I begin (but not in order):

In this blog sphere, like what I had said in my past entries, I made it without any intention to earn readers. But hey! I appreciate you guys for the time you spend here in my page.

It makes me happy to see someone reading my posts. I may not regularly receive comments posted in my entries, I know those who always have time to read my updates (those ones who personally tell me their reactions and questions regarding my entries). Co-blogger(s) and friends and every individual in this on-line world. – Norman, Hazel, Joymee, Jes, James to mention a few of my friends.

Charly, the "balikbayan" classmate who considers me as his best friend, one of the nicest guy friend I ever have, thank you for being around for me in the times of shoestring. AND AND AND, it's a pleasure for me man when you confides in me about your personal life. I'll always be your ad and a shoulder to cry on:)

Sarah Jane, my favorite "ading" who never showed boredom in my company – she loves me as a companion and I love to know this. Thank you and ilabyu.hehe:)

Former board-mates who helped me carry my things to our boardinghouse during the start of this school year.

Gurl, a text-friend who isn't fed up listening to my trivial stories (at least she doesn't show any sign of disinterest). Hehe

To one of my current board-mates who made me realize the essence of forgiving, saying “sorry”, patience, and maturity in thinking. – she inspires me to change.

To my friends, thank you for always catching me at home whenever you plan to out for jamming.
To Micky, once a best friend, man, I really thank you for pushing me away. It was the best thing you ever did as a favor. Thank you so much! I care for you kuya.
And most especially, I dunno if I am allowed to mention his name. To my biological brother who financially supports me and shoulders all the expenses in my education. YOU ARE THE BEST BROTHER IN THE WORLD. I LOVE YOU KUYA...:)
To Mr. RL, we may not personally know each other, but I want you to know that I am happy for your "company. Thank you for making me feel simple thrills.:)

PS: sa susunod na lang yung iba. I have to finish my ledger entry, trial balance and chart of accounts.

-HUBERT GLOVER-

HERE ARE SOME OF THE TIPS CONVEYED TO US DURING ONE OF THE SEMINARS HELD IN SCHOOL.

SCHOOL OF ACCOUNTANCY

TIPS ON HOW TO STUDY ACCOUNTING EFFECTIVELY

HOW TO STUDY ACCOUNTING

A. READING A TEXTBOOK

1. STUDYING ACCOUNTING IS NOT LIKE READING A NOVEL OR EVEN LIKE STUDYING HISTORY, SOCIOLOGY OR ECONOMICS.
2. READ TO UNDERSTAND “WHY”
3. WORK PROBLEMS TO UNDERSTAND “HOW”
4. REMEMBER “WHY” AND “HOW”
5. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, PREPARE A SPECIFIC QUESTION TO ASK YOUR INTRUCTOR.

B. WORKING HOMEWORK PROBLEMS

6. READ THE PROBLEM.
7. WORK THE PROBLEMS WITHOUT “PAGE FLIPPING” BACK TO THE CHAPTER.
8. KEEP UP WITH THE CLASS.
9. NOTE THE PROBLEM WITH WHICH YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY AND ASK QUESTIONS DURING DISCUSSION.

C. PREPARING FOR THE EXAMS

10. BE SPECIFIC IN YOUR STUDY; CONCENTRATE ON THE THINGS WHICH SEEM IMPORTANT
11. DO NOT STOP WITH JUST “GETTING THE IDEA”
12. EVERY EXAM HAS AN ELEMENT OF SPEED.
13. WHEN TAKING EXAM, MANY POINTS ARE LOST AND QUESTONS MISSED BECAUSE THE STUDENTS DO NOT “READ THE PROBLEM”.

• QUICKLY LOOK THROUGH THE ENTIRE EXAM AND ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE EASY FOR YOU.

it helps

I had so much thought in mind yesterday. I wanted to scribble them down but as I face the computer unit and opened the Microsoft word, they were gone. It's actually happens most of the time I have significant ideas and I have no choice rather than writing trifling and weird ones. I cannot appreciate this and coping with it sometimes drives me crazy and freak out. So what I did yesterday to lessen the stress, I set aside what I wanted to write and check mails, spoiled my time in facebook etc. after an hour, I decided to take my dinner. I wasn't satisfied with my meal but since two orders would surely burst my stomach, I left the restaurant with my stomach still needy.

I couldn't make out what I wanted at that very point of of my life; I couldn't grasp any worthwhile thought, and it really made me cranky. Unexpectedly, I found myself browsing the bible and slipping through the pages of the book of Genesis (meaning of it is origins or beginnings). I started my readings at chapter 12, “Tinawag ng Dios si Abram”. But I couldn't stand my craving stomach so I went to ask for Charly's comnpany. Another problem was that I couldn't specify what I wanted to eat so we agreed to stroll until we ended up choosing one of the coffee coolers. Then after having some refreshment (instead of snack), we went back to our respective boardinh houses.

I went back to my readings, and followed chapters 1 to 4 of the same book, about the creation theory and some others. In that siutuation, I realized how enlightening it is to read words of God. I had always ignored this stuff before and believe it or not, I would always get the lowest score when it comes to bible quizzes. Last friday, err. It really helps, this is all I wanna share for now.:)
