Post Valentines

I never missed a school fair when I was in high school (coz attendance was a requirement). Now, that I'm in college I've already missed twice. For the past 4 years in Taft, yesterday was the best University week. The past University week sucked. Literally It sucks. They shouldn't have celebrated a University week if most of the students doesn't even feel the presence of it. But, this year's University week and even its culminating night was the best. Even Br. Armyn, the chairman of our school, admits that this year was the largest La Salle crowd they've gathered. Somehow, yesterday was memorable, because somehow something nice happened.

I was hoping that many of my batch mates are going to show up at the culminating night. Kita-kits na naman ang barkada! But it was only Bev who showed up. Sigh. I also saw Omi but only after the fireworks display which was the finale of the night. I should have reminded them about the concert. Yeah, there was a concert, organization fair, faculty show (of the entire college) and a fashion show (by F&H) too. Yet, I still had fun even though the gang wasn't complete and even though I wasn't able to watch the faculty presentation. As always, COE had the funniest faculty presentation. I was able to see some clips of the presentation. Professors, chair head, and the Vice-dean in top less dancing to the tune of Jumbo Hotdog?! Plus a short ballet skit by Sir Bello. =P

I wasn't that enthusiastic with the concert (Sugarfree lang ang gusto ko mapanood sa bands). I was more excited with the badminton game. I barely no a little about badminton but I still gave it a try just for fun. The match was a doubles against Aby and Hanzel. I had Kevin as my partner. At the last minute he backed out for an important agenda. Good thing Herlyn was available as a substitute that day. So it was me and Herlyn versus Hanzel and Aby. It took us 1-hr to finish our match (feeling pro kami). Ok, so we lost. But you can put it this way, we were too kind to let them win. hahah

Blue is the color

Love is an unbelievable journey to unpredictable destinations. The effects of love never remain the same. One moment you could be in heaven, and the next moment in the bowels of hell. Emotions could range from bliss to misery. One day it is sunshine and laughter and the next day could be downcast and gloomy. Love could be wonderful one moment, terrible the next.

When it is joyous, there is no emotion in the world that can match it. You want to dance, sing, shout, skip, strip (just kidding).. but when your love hits a bad patch, you droop, gag, and feel like screaming out for help. Every phase that the journey of love takes you through is different, and you need to adapt to it.

Love is total trust, mutual respect and admiration.
It is not that love knows all problems. It is but natural that two individuals share different points of view which could cause arguments. But a little give-and-take/ a dose of humour can iron out any difference, and they can be friends again. The person you love is your best friend, someone whom you trust, and is with you through happy times or tough times.

Love is vital to your existence as blood is for your body. The color of love to me is a certain shade of blue. It symbolizes peace and calm - the very basis of happiness. And as a famous Beetles' song goes "..All you need is LOVE!" Well, we absolutely need love. But, as you can see, the story doesn't end there.

Pseudo Profs

This is for all of the students who have stupid teachers

Teachers who give punishments for stupid things like getting a drink of water, answering an urgent phone call, or being absent due to a sickness.

Stupid teachers who assign the same piece of homework, journal critique, or reflection paper from two weeks or something like that and call your work a junk.

Teachers who failed to act and see things with ethics and professionalism. Who obliges female students to wear skirts for their business attire, gives so-called self-check tests of 80 items to be answered within 10 minutes, who acts and looks like a DOM, who passes a supposed flunker for his full attendance while fails a bright student because of his shortcomings in attendance.

Stupid teachers should have month long vacations so we students could have a break once and a while, Or they can just be sanctioned, from reprimand to warning, or from suspension to expulsion!

It's a shame stupid teachers exist in schools and universities. It would be verily unconscionable to merely let go their wrong-doings for it will only serve to set off and countenance a bad precedence that stupid teachers may had long been learning on throughout their tenure.

I say it every year...

... but hopefully I mean it this year. A better person this year.. but I wanted to mention this one and hopefully, hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I can stick to it this year. 2007, I really want to focus on school and family. I've pretty much said it every year for the past couple of years, but I'm really hoping to mean it this year. 2007 is going to be a major year of change, I think. So far, the age of twenteen is looking really good (*knock on wood* for lucky-luck) and I'm hoping 2007 is a reflection of that. Things will be quite different this year. Most of my classmates and friends from my batch are on their OJTs while me and some are still left at school. I plan to take up my practicum this summer if its possible or on the first term of next school year. For now, got to catch up on subjects and do good in our thesis. Oh thesis! really have to rush things up. Got to learn again how to program and read a lot of books... Finish the thesis by the end of the year or at least creat a prototype. Just lately, I had a problem with one of our profs... actually the prof is the problem. hat's why we don't like him. I wont let his treatment get away that easy. I don't care if he's the co-founder of the organization or the department (I'm not even sure) but his bad precedent should end now.

So this is a pretty big resolution for the year, and will probably be one of the more challenging ones, most definitely. But I really want to try this time. I hope to do it. Do send encouragement! That would help out, mucho!

...I want to experience the Nintendo Wii and PS3! =)
