I see you with YOUR smile
YOU turn my head towards YOUR direction
A smile that YOU freely give
For no care of anyone's consideration
Although YOU wonder why
I give YOU undivided attention
What makes MY smile standout
Is your most important question
Maybe because of the way
It chooses no one in contestation
A smile given freely is
A smile worthy of MY mention
In all my wishes and dreams
I thank God truly for giving concession
That even during this times
In YOUR tribulation
God chose me
In some weird fate of appreciation
That you might consider ME
In utmost deliberation
That even if uncertainty comes to visit
In all sincerity, all I have are good intentions
But why this drama and perspiration?
All I want is your permission
If I can ask you out to watch a movie,
Just consider it free of admission
Sooner or later,
I just hope for recognition |

That sounded so gangster...:P
Anyway, I'm trying to do some reading for requirements due on the resumption of classes, but guess what, I'm not really into it... yet. The pressure isn't there yet. The push to do any work isn't as strong as usual. All I am saying is that... "All I want for Christmas is a much longer BREAK." Don't we all?:P
So what has happened to me during this past year? What have I "evolved" into as a person--as a friend, a son, and whatever. Well, I'm more like myself now than ever. I am more accepting of myself in ways that I wasn't really taught to be. Accepting of what I am and what I have become. No regrets whatsoever, but I do have more worrying to do because of what I am hoping and aiming to be in the future.
In more concrete sense, I have my plans till 5-6 years from now. Here goes...
Graduation is just around the corner, and I just can't wait for everything to be over. Right after graduation, I'm going on a very long vacation out of the country. Will be back around July or August, if ever all my vacationing plans push through.
Next stop, non degree status for more English Credits and more Psychology units. Then entrance exams for a Law school in Rockwell.
Extended studying for me, which means more baon. Haha! Lord help me...:) |

Yesterday, after my first class (Psychology 145 - Psychology of Language), I was ganged up upon by my previous Psychology 195 Professor, Ma'am Chei, and my two current professors Ma'am Kay in Psychology 145 and Sir Eric in Soc Sci 3. I felt so helpless as they started throwing accusations at me. It was the time when I felt so alone and so damsel-like in distress. I just need badly to runaway. Haha!:D
Sa totoo lang, di naman accusations yun. What they were saying were all true. I do pick on Sir Eric's "favorite" shirts, Ma'am Chei's "humor" in class, and Ma'am Kay's "colorful" world. (May stories behind the quoted words, but I just choose to keep them to myself. Hirap ikwento e. Wala naman kasi akong blogging prowess like the people who blog everyday e. Haha!:))
Anyway, lagi tong nangyayari sa akin. Kahit sa Political Science Department, kapag nagkasama-sama na ang mga professors at nandun ako. NAKO! Terrible. Para akong na "gang rape" by all the comments by professors here and there. Why are all my previous professors like this? Why?!
Do I deserve all this?
Yes. I think I do. Haha!:D

Anguish, hardship, suffering, hurt, agony, torment, pain… These are just some of the words that capture the experience of recruitment for a survey through a forum. What more can I say… (Sigh)
Haha!:)
It was actually fun and interesting how we accomplish, or failed to accomplish the task at hand. On the day that the assignment was given, we, my group mates and I, posted our survey questionnaire to our forums of affiliation. To get attention in the forums we planned to post the questionnaire in, we thought of a really attention-getting subject or title for the thread that we plan to start. Umm… Alam ko na! “Nag-UPCAT ka ba?:)” This is where it all starts.
After a few hours of posting the thread, I checked on the thread and, amazingly, someone has already my thread. Umm… This seemed promising.
So the next few hours after, I again checked on my thread and found a number of replies that stated that my thread title was so misleading. Oh no! Come to think of it, it was really misleading. As a form of band-aid solution to the “misleading” thread title, I replied to there statements by saying that I’m really sorry for having done so.
Soon after, another bunch of replies come in. The replies had sad faces on them stating that they are no longer eligible to answer the survey because they are former students that date back to the 1990s. Haay… this is becoming to be too frustrating. I then replied to them by saying that it would be a real long shot, but maybe they have children who are probably studying in UP Diliman that maybe they could make them answer. Frustration comes in. Haay…
Then someone comes in and replies with, “Sorry, you’d have to wait another 11 years for your survey questionnaire to be answered. I couldn’t help myself.” Haha! That really got to me. Frustrations are all gone now. Then another reply went on to saying, “My daughter said that she’d only answer the survey if I buy her a MACBOOK.” Haha! I am really enjoying this now. Although I’m not really a good storyteller, this should sound funny, but then again sorry… Haha!:)
Since they were all so kind to have noticed my thread, I told them they are more than welcome to answer the survey questionnaire and that I only forgot to include the question that categorizes them regarding their status as current or former students. And I went on to explain why I’m doing the survey and what cyberpsych is all about.
I then received one reply through a PM. Ang galing galing… She answers the survey together with this message…
“may cyberpsych na pala sa UP. are you from UPD? my barkada is an instructor in the psych dep, rae macapagal. if you want to score brownie points with rae, use big hairy men.”
HAHA!:D Panalo di ba? Anyway, just read the actual conversations. It’s much better. Link to FORUM POST
Although the experience proved futile due to the “randomness” that this kind of recruitment process possesses, I love it! (courtesy of Ma. Cecilia Ching of the Psychology department.)
For more Cyberpsych activities! CHEERS!:)Current Mood:  amused |

Friends? Classmates? Kababata? Kalaro? Lahat na ng Ka- mga kaaway ko... Hmm... pagiisipan ko pa.:P
Sa pamamagitan ng friendster let's unite!:)
Why did I join friendster?
Kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko, sumali ako dahil sa mga kaibigan ko. Peer pressure at work. Buong HS ko nun nakafriendster na at nagpapadamihan ng friends, samantalang ako ay nagmamatigas sa pagsali. Pero yun nga, bumigay din ako at nagsign-up for an account of my own. Since then, I've been trying to add friends, classmates, acquiantances, old and new. Pero kapag di ko talaga kilala , di ko inaadd o inaaccept as friends, dahil ayaw ko ng concepto ng imaginary friends. Haha!:)

Kakaibang araw ito. First time to ever go on a public chatroom sa YAHOO!:) Ibang klase may regions and all that. So yun na nga... Pumasok ako sa Metro Manila Barkada. Naks naman di ba? Kakaibang chatroom. Actually generic chatroom name ito... may numbers lang na nagbibigay variation sa different rooms. Sa pagpasok ko sa chatroom may bumati agad sa akin, tinanong ako about my asl and all that. Tapos he emphasized na he was also male, so yun nangulit nalang ako. We got to know each other a bit. 25 male from Davao. He works for San Miguel as a Trade and Promo Management Assistant, which means he decides whether a certain promo is worth giving a budget and how much budget the company would give the promo. So yun... naputol na usapan namin nung 6pm na kasi sabay kaming nagutom. Haha! Meant to be? Joke! Haha! Anyway, yun nga... magandang encounter sa chatroom, but of course ang mismong chatroom ay kakaiba. Maraming taong nagyaya magC2C at dapat talaga boy-girl usapan or ang kabaliktaran. So di ka papansinin ng lalaki kung lalaki ka din, di ka papansinin ng babae kung babae ka din. Palibasa iba ang agenda nila sa chatroom. Go figure.:)

Long time no blog for me... Heehee! I'll soon update my blog as soon as I get started with all these freaking papers.
I finally accomplished my first paper for the sem and I don't really like my output since I crammed everything to the last word. But at least, I have something to pass tomorrow that is what is important at the moment, don't you think?
Oh well... Was just thinking about my re-application to CSA? Hmmm... What would it bring? I just wish it were as fun as the first time I applied. And yeah, I have a buddy I can really call my own. Although, I didn't actually bid for my buddy, but still, Bong, who I call Bongpia, is my first official buddy, wherein he is the member and I am the "applicant".
So much for an update... I feel tired already. Look at the time----->>>>>TIME:320am

 “Thoughts of the near future and the future that seems still too far ahead to even worry about have beleaguered me these past weeks. Things like what I'd be doing the next two Saturdays, where I'll be at age 25, even thoughts of considering marriage at age 30. Is anything wrong with me? I guess... hope not. “
It's been eons ago since I last posted anything. A lot has happened since I got back from the states that I wish to share, so please bear with me.
Getting back meant that I was back to my old lifestyle. A lifestyle that was busy from every waking moment and sometimes a lifestyle that I tried to make busy, so there was no dull moments.
At the start of the last stretch of May, I was turned back into a driver, a student, and a friend. I tried to fit everything in the last chance at vacation. Since I was back and had a car at my disposal, I was driving yet again for almost everything--taking my mom to client calls, bringing her from the house to the FX terminal, grocery shopping, etc. Next thing on my list was to internalize that school was just around the corner, so I did all the necessary stuff to prepare for it such us, checking my CRS results, asking people about profs, preparing stuff for the dorm and the like. The most important of which is my back into the friend mode. I had friends whom I was dying to see again after being in the states for 5 weeks. I’ve surely missed a lot and wasn’t willing to miss anymore. So here I was plotting, scheming and just planning my activities down to the last day I was worry-free. No day was to be wasted. No plan was to be altered. Everything just had to be followed the way it was planned.
Well, plans were not meant to be followed as they all say, kaya yun. My plans were modified, postponed and ultimately nothing was followed. Hay caramba! Basta puro remedyo here and there ang ginawa ko just to be able to see who I had to see! Yung iba namove till the school days, ganun kagrabe ang pagkaruin ng plans ko. So ayun, naubos din ang bakasyon days ko, kasi by May 29 I had to start working as a registration assistant (RA) sa school.
 Ako ang gumawa ng ID na toh!:D
First week was such a bum… nothing we did was really any challenge. We would sit around 2-3 hours and work was done for the day. Although, what made the first week an adventure and memorable, I might say, is the car rides going to our lunch destinations, chikka moments while we wait for the time to pass, the ever entertaining stories and antics of Chalkie, the sungitan moments with some pesky, annoying, feeling students of CSSP, and just being together made it all worthwhile.
Second week June 5-9
This week started with Mohaness’ birthday! She turned 18 and we prepared a mini surprise party for her. Ang galling ng mga nagconcoct nito, as in natuwa ako!:) After the mini party, we were finalizing all our papers and files for the start of registration day, which was tomorrow. We had our meeting with Ma’am Abad with the do’s and don’ts during registration, the assigning of tasks, and planning what color of shirts we’d wear for the week.(Arte namin noh? Haha!)
PS Before I forget, nagMcdo party pa kami nung lunch. Ang birthday blow out ni Moha. Haha!:D
June 6, 2006 (White Shirt day)
All the RAs were expected to be in the office around 7am to be able to set-up and do review on protocol. At around 8am, students started roaming outside the office. Mga eager masyadong magenroll. Haha! By the way, I was a bouncer at the office. I told people who went inside the office: where to go and whom to see. At the strike of 8:45am, we started the registration for the 1st Semester of SY 2006-07. People were piling up infront of me asking where they were suppose to go, what they had to do, and everything I had no knowledge about. Haha! It was learn through experience kinda job. Di naman kami binigyan ng handbook or guidelines to learn what to do. It was thought or we learned it at the onset of a situation. Basta! Gets nyo na yun. It was actually very fun, entertaining all the questions and inquiries they had. I kinda tended to reminisce nung freshie pa ako. Those were the days. Heehee! So by lunch time, I was tired and was in need of a break from the heat. Tapos balik trabaho uli after the one hour break. Haha! But infairness, ang galling talaga. Nagkaassistant ako by around 2ish. Dumating na ang hatak ni Micai na si Glen. Masunoring bata, treated me like his boss. Basta! Because of Glen, I was able to rest kapag sobrang pagod na ako. You’re the best Glen!:P The day ended with satisfaction on my part, kasi feeling ko I was able to help lost souls that day (Yung mga naliligaw at nawawalang freshie!:P) and was able to make new friends, lalo na yang si Glen!:)) At the end of the day, I was dead tired. Haha!:P
June 7, 2006 (Red/Pink shirt day)
7ish uli kami nirequire pumasok. Haha! I’m getting used to this ha?! Feeling ko talaga may pasok na. Haha! Well, it was yet another day for my bouncing talents. Haha! Masmadaming tao ang expected crowd ngayon sa office. Taran! Around 8am may mga nagsisipila na sa labas ng pintoan. Maseager pala ang mga CSSP students by the 2nd day. Heehee!;P Harabas nanaman kami today. Grabe! Naamaze naman ako sa sarili ko nung bandang hapon na nung konti nalang ang aming office aficionados. May isang instance na nagkasunod-sunod ang pasok nila, and my brain started working as fast as they came in. Asking each one the question, “Saan ka?” Haha! I was pointing my hand left and right as they pass me. Basta! Ang galling, kahit ako naamaze talaga sa sarili ko. Haha! Thank God di naman ako sobrang nataranta. Haha! At the end of day 2, masgamay ko na ang pagiging bouncer lalo na ang ever faithful assistant ko ay nandyan. Haha!:) Well, kahit tapos na ang trabaho, tumenga parin kaming lahat sa office. As in kwento pa rin. Naku! I forgot to tell you na ang assistant to the bouncer na si Glen ay isang magaling na mangaawit, so I just had to hear him sing. Mwahaha! I together with my co-RAs, coerced him to sing us a song. Heehee! Sa pangungulit, pagblablackmail, at pakiusap kumanta na rin si Glen. Lahat kami ay napanganga nalang sa ganda ng kanyang tinig. Wow! Ang ganda talaga! I fell in love with his voice, as in tipong gusto ko ng nakawin ang vocal cords nya! Waah!! Grabe talaga! If you had heard him ang galling talaga. So yun! We were off home, pagtapos nun. Haha! Nung kinagabihan, nangulit pa ako kay Glen. Haha! Telling him na ang galing nya and all that, tapos asked him kung kakanta sya uli. Haha! So yun, I was able to make him promise to sing till Friday. Heehee!:)
June 8, 2006 (Green shirt day)
Ngayong araw na toh, coding ako. Haha! Sumabay ako sa aking kapatid na si Nicole. Haha! Amazing talaga ang kanyang ever faithful driver na si Kuya Arnarn. Haha! Pagdating namin sa UP napansin ko lang na ang theme namin ay ang maging mga dakilang damo . Haha! Our colors ranged from different shades of green. Paminsan nga as in di na halos green ay sinasabi pa rin na green. Haha!:p So yun, we had the most interesting day today, today sumugod ang isang graduate student sa amin demanding for her True Copy of Grades (TCG). Aba! Wala ang TCG nya sa files namin. So we asked her, kailan ka nagrequest and all the necessary information para malaman kung sinong nagkamali. Aba! To our surprise, ibabalik palang pala nya ang resibo on that day, at winala nya ang request slip nya. Naku naman! How bobo!:P But no, kahit kasalanan nya, she was still insisting na dapat nagawa na yun. Lahat kami sa office nagngitngit sa galit. I was the first person to get irritated kasi dun sya sa mabait naming RA napunta, si Jessica. As in sinasagot pa rin sya ng maayos kahit sobrang nagsusungit na sya. Aba! Sumosobra na toh ah. Pinaalis ko na si Jessica and started questioning her. Telling her, na di mo ba alam ang instructions for getting TCGs at di mo ba nabasa ang instructions dyan sa labas. Aba! Nagaaway na kami. Kasama ng mga iba pangRAs nasisigawan nanamin sya. Tapos nung bandang sobrang init na ng ulo namin. Nagbutt in na si Sered. Papasokin daw namin ang bruha. Haha! So yun, pumasok sya at kinausap ni Sered. But no! Ang bruha, attack mode kung attack mode pa rin, kahit si Sered na ang kausap. Napagalitan tuloy sya. Mwahaha!:) Basta ultimately, this made my day. She was RA enemy number 1. Mwahaha!
Reminder:
Ang mga kukuha ng TCG o certification of any kind attention. Ganito ang procedure. PangCSSP students lang toh ah?! Go to the AS 101 window, ask for a request slip. Tell the person inside, what you are appling for.(Kasi may ibang certifications na offered lang sa OUR e. Atsaka ang mga recently graduated students lang ang pwedeng kumuha ng TCG o certifications sa amin, dahil Ang mga more than two sems na ay sa OUR na kukuha.:P) After getting the slip, fill it up and hand it back to the person inside the window to get it assessed. Tapos pay the assessed fee sa PNB, tapos ibalik agad ang request slip at resibo. Then start counting seven working days to get this things processed. Thank you bow!:D
Tapos may isang tiga-Student Council ang nasa loob ng office namin for some reason and was allowed to touch are sacred jackets(Term na ginagamit sa mga files ng students). Aba! This SC person was telling me how disarranged and unorganized our files were. Nabwisit ako. Dahil in the first place bawal sya dun. Pwede namin syang humingi ng tulong kung kailan nya. He didn't need to tell me that. At aba, ang approach pa nya, I was somewhat he's servant. Aba! That tick me off. Linayasan ko nga sya. And I turned him to RA enemy number 2. From now on, he had to go through me to get anything done sa AS 101. Mwahaha!
Tapos nung nagout na kami from work. Sumugod kami sa stand ni Mang Mer. Haha! Sobrang yum yum ng footlong at mga street food. Heehee! Nakapagpicture taking din kami dun. At doon na ng nabansagan mga damo.
There you go, yan ang mga major happenings for that day. At the end of the day, kumanta uli ang aking assistant na si Glen. Haha! Ang galing yet again. WOW!:) Tapos uwian na! Heehee! Sabay nanaman ako kay Nicole pauwi. Oo nga pala. Salamat sa ride kapatid!:D
On the ride home, katext ko na si Glen. And was preparing him for his last song for Friday. Heehee! At the end of the text messages, I got him to promise to sing a medley for me and named him my alaga(tipong manager and talent. Haha!).
PS Ito po yung video ng kanta, just in case you want to see kung magaling talaga. Proud ako sa batang ito!:D
June 9, 2006 (Beach attire day na di naman natuloy/na naging blue nalang)
Today was the day of Glen's mini-concert. I prepared well today. Nagpadala ako ng videocam kay Micai, cd player kay MOha, at nagdala rin ako ng mga back-up: my laptop and my videocam. Heehee! Lagot ka Glen!:P But to my surprise ako pala ang malalagot. Ikaw lamang(Message tone singing... Si Glen!:P) Muntik na akong maiyak sa aking nabasang text:
Glen: BOsing! Peste! Sumthin has cme up! Emrgncy! InaAway ako ng momy ko! PnapaBntayan skn ung kptd kong 4yrS old s skul! Pnapasama ko! Naku naman..Dun ak0 mgb0ucr!

Waah!! The message totally drained me. Grabe! All my preparations tapos di rin pala sya makakapasok.:( Oh well... basta sobrang nasad ako, kasi nakakapanibago dahil walang kakanta at the end of the day at take note, kumalat na agad ang news sa office dahil pagpasok ko ng door yun ang pinaguusapan nila. waahh!! Oh well... Basta yun. Medyo walang happening that day sa office, kasi medyo nilalangaw na kami dahil tapos na halos ang madlang people.:P
Nung matapos ang office hours, nanglibre yet again si Moha. We headed to Burgo sa may West Triangle ata. Basta! Yum yum! Sarap ng food. Nagshare kami ni Ma'am Velez sa aming orderS. Heehee! Panalo talaga si Moha! Salamat uli sa blowout.:)
Medyo hanggang dyan lang muna. I still have an exam this Saturday. Heehee! And kinda hungry so I'm ordering dinner na.:D
