Dahil bago na naman ang layout ng Facebook ngayon, nakita ko tuloy yung mga nakabaon na notes ng taong stina-stalk ko ngayon dahil namimiss ko na siya :'( pero parang himala na magkakatagpo pa kami. So, in remembrance of our friendship, gagawin ko uli yung note na yun pero dito na lang muna sa blog ko:
1. Put your iPod (or MP3 player, iTunes, etc.) on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!

Dear you
Bigla lang kitang naalala dahil sa isang panaginip. Close na close daw tayo nun. Ang clingy ko pa nga sa'yo kaso alam kong imposible kasi may girlfriend ka. Pero hindi napigilan ng katotohanang yun ang biglaang-panunumbalik ng mga nararamdaman ko para sa'yo. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam kung legit itong "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" na drama ng buhay ko ngayon e. Pero namimiss kita. Sobra. Sana lang masabi ko sa'yo 'to kaso ang naiisip ko, "Para saan pa?"
Pero nung nag-break kayo, masama na ako kung masama, bigla akong sumaya. Bigla akong nabuhayan. Pero siyempre, alam kong nagluluksa ka pa (siguro) sa sinapit ng relasyon ninyo at nasa moving on stage ka pa (siguro). Alam ko namang wala akong pag-asa sa'yo lalo pa ngayong wala naman talaga tayong ugnayan sa isa't isa. Sa katunayan, nung April 2012 yung huli nating chat sa Facebook tapos ang huli nating pagkikita? Sa birthday ng isa sa mga kaibigan natin, about two years ago. (Well, ginreet kita nung birthday mo pero hindi talaga siya conversation para sa akin.)
Kahit na wala akong pag-asa sa'yo, abangers nga lang ako. Kaya lang, hindi mo naman alam na abangers ako. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko rin alam kung bakit hanggang ngayon hindi ako maka-move on. Siguro, masyado akong naniwala sa sinasabi nila na hindi makikipagclose nang bongga ang lalaki sa isang babae kung hindi niya nakikitang magkakaroon sila ng something sa future (at madidisprove ko na ito ngayon personally. heh!)
Bukod doon, siguro nakulong ako sa mga alaalang naipon ko na kasama ka. Sa'yo lang kasi ako naging pinaka-close nung mga panahon emo pa ako at tinolerate mo ang pagiging emo ko --- inencourage mo akong mag-open up at sinuportahan mo talaga ako sa mga trip ko sa buhay ko noon lalo na yung pagsusulat ko. Pati nga yung pagkanta-kanta ko, sinuportahan mo e. Nakakatuwa lang isipin na naging close ako sa isang tulad mo. Sobrang nagpapasalamat ako kasi hinayaan mo rin akong pumasok sa buhay mo. Sa totoo lang, crush nga kita nung elementary pa tayo e, hindi ko inakalang magkakaganoon tayo pagdating ng high school.
Kaso nakakaiyak din na hindi ko inalagaan yung pagkakaibigan natin. Out of sight, out of mind yata kasi yung drama natin sa buhay. Or ako lang yun. Pero sa'yo, iba. Kahit kailan, hindi ka nawala sa isip ko. Yun lang, hindi ko alam kung paano magreach-out sa'yo. Damn me and my conscientiousness. Ayoko kasing nakakadistorbo. Sinusuppress ko lang siguro tapos biglang ito na naman kasi malaya ka na.
Alam kong hindi na maibabalik ang dati nating samahan. Siguro nga hindi na tayo magkikita ever. Pero sana matanaw kita kahit minsan lang, yung tipong nagkasalubong lang tayo o nakita lang kitang namamasyal. 'Pag ganyan, sa tadhana na lang ako aasa.

The Unexpected Phone Call
May nangyaring "kakaiba" sa akin kanina.
Habang ako'y papauwi at nakasakay sa FX, biglang may tumawag sa akin from an unknown number. Sabi niya siya raw si Jenny (o Zeny?) tapos mula sa isang international company something something. Alam niyang taga-UP ako in fairness. Nagulat din ako kasi wala pa naman akong alam na pinag-aapplyan ko bukod sa New World for practicum. Tapos iniinvite niya ako for an interview raw sa may Megamall daw. Dahil maingay sa FX, tinanong ko siya kung okay lang na mag-usap na lang kami uli in a few minutes for confirmation kasi hindi ko siya maintindihan. Pumayag naman siya.
Pagdating ko sa paroroonan ko na relatively tahimik kesa sa FX, hinintay ko muna si Mama regarding this kasi medyo may kinalaman 'to sa career ekek so kailangan ko ng guidance. Pero siyempre, naeexcite ako kasi siyempre first job kung saka-sakali tapos ako pa yung inofferan dahil napag-alaman nilang okay raw yung grades ko. (Pero siyempre, sobrang dami pa ng mga taong di hamak na mas magaling kaysa sa akin, bakit ako?)
Nung tinawagan ko na, mas klaro na yung details: LifeGen Technologies daw yung company (pero di gaanong klaro) tapos nakuha raw niya yung number ko from a referral na taga-UP rin na nagwowork sa company. So, medyo nag-isip ako: Bakit hindi na lang nya sabihin kung sino? Wala namang masama. Sa New World nga, yung HR pa yung nakakaalam, o kung hindi nila alam, sila yung nagtatanong kung may referral - dapat specific person. Pero nung kausap ko siya, medyo nagduda na ako kasi ang sabi nya sa may Ortigas daw yung office nila. May nabasa na kasi ako dati na parang nanghihikayat sila ng tao especially fresh grads and young professionals na sumali sa company nila bilang management trainees or project managers mismo (basta maganda yung position) through phone calls; sa totoo lang, networking yung papasukan nung mga kakagat sa invitation nila. Well, ayon yan sa nabasa kong blog.

Summer 2012
Summer classes na naman. Hindi pa ako inaantok. Kaya heto ako ngayon, medyo nag-eemo.
Mataas ang expectations ko para sa summer sem na ito, huling summer ko na kasi and I want my last summer class to end with a bang. Ang saya saya saya ko kasi last summer sem. Pero parang kabaliktaran ang nangyayari (maliban na lang sa French 11 class ko, nag-eenjoy ako dito, mas naaappreciate ko pa lalo ang French language).
Naalala ko nung patapos na yung second sem, sobrang atat na ako mag-summer dahil makakakilala na naman ako ng ibang taong nasa ibang kolehiyo pero hanggang ngayon, patapos na yung summer sem, wala pa ako halos nakikilalang ibang tao na labas sa HRIM. Ang problema pa, halos hindi ko na nakikita ang mga kaibigan ko sa HRIM. Halos wala na rin kasing tao sa tambayan kaya medyo nakakatamad pumunta sa CHE teehee saka may sanktwaryo ako sa CAL eh - CAL Lib. Ligtas na ligtas ako sa init ng panahon.
Natatakot lang ako na baka dahil lang sa summer sem na ito, isang buwan ding halos hindi ko sila makikita, eh mangangalawang na rin ang pakikitungo ko sa kanila. Sana hindi. Alam kong hindi. Umaasa akong hindi.

Bye Acad, Hello Fin
Kailan lang, naramdaman ang tunay na paniniwala sa akin ng mga taong hindi ko namang close na close kami ngunit sa kabila ng ganoon naming ugnayan, patuloy pa rin silang naniniwala sa akin. <3
“Bakit ka nag-Fin?” Isa ito sa mga tanong na talagang napatigil ako at napaisip. Bakit nga ba ako sumuong sa isang laban na hindi ko tiyak kung may sapat akong armas upang lumaban? Bakit ko nga ba piniling humarap sa isang pagsubok na wala man lang akong kasiguraduhang malulusutan ko? Wala akong alam. Wala akong plano. Wala.
Maaari ngang sabihin na meron naman akong nailatag na mga plano’t plataporma na magiging gabay ko para magampanan ko ng maayos ang magiging trabaho ko; subalit inaamin ko na ginawa ko lang ito para may maipasa lang ako kay Kuya JC. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko talaga alam ang gagawin ko. Nahihilo. Nalilito. Natutuliro.
Matagal naman nang inalok sa akin ang posisyon ng pagiging Finance Officer. Bago pa man magbukas ang nominations para sa mga tatakbo, tinatanong na ako kung nais kong punan ang posisyon. Mariin ang pagtanggi ko nung umpisa dahil hindi ko talaga alam ang patutunguhan ng Finance Committee sa ilalim ng pamamahala ko kung saka-sakali mang ako maihalal. Pero sa isip ko lang yun. Hindi ko nasabi ang nilalaman ng isip ko. Pinili ko pa ring ‘maging open’ ang options ko.
Gusto ko talagang tumakbo para sa isang posisyon pero hindi bilang Finance Officer. May pagnanais sa’kin na maging bahagi ng Executive Committee yaman din lamang na nasaksihan ko na nang pahapyaw kung paano ginagawa ang mga SemPlan. Sa palagay ko, ang pagkakataong mapabilang sa ExeComm ay isang hakbang para sa katuparan ng isa sa mga nais kong makamit sa buhay: ang gumawa ng pagbabago. Pero ang tanong paano lalo na kung may mga nagnanais na tumakbo para sa iilang posisyon na gusto ko ring punan? Ang natitira na lang ay ang pagiging Finance Officer, wala nang iba. Ay, meron pa pala – ang VP for Acad.

30 Day Challenge: Day 19
Day 19: Write about your last birthday and how you plan to spend your upcoming birthday.
My last birthday is definitely one of my most memorable birthdays EVER.
If I were to compare it to my friends’ birthday celebration, mine is definitely… different. I am not even sure if it could qualify as a “celebration”. My last birthday was kind of lethargic considering that it was my debut. But of course, being ever optimistic, I still managed to find joy in what I did.
Last October 4, 2010, as soon as I woke up, one thing was on my mind: Wow, it’s my birthday. Happy birthday to me! But dang, I have a report in Art Studies 2 that I have to cram. I was not able to do this in advance because there were more requirements that needed my immediate attention that is why I have to cram this particular report on my birthday. So I spent the whole day doing the paper. This is so saaaad. :( Of all my birthdays, I really have to experience this on my 18th birthday, on my debut. While others are busy preparing their dresses for their upcoming grand debut, there I was – sitting in front of the laptop, pre-occupied on how would I finish the paper that would be due the following day. Wow. Simply wow.
I only felt that it was my birthday whenever I log in to Facebook and I see notification after notification wishing me a happy birthday. Great, I really did wish that it was a happy birthday. :(
And then, at around 2:00 pm, there was a miracle that happened. Ma’am Fay Gumba, my Art Studies 2 instructor, sent an email which said that she would postpone the submission of the paper on October 5 – the report would be submitted the following week.
MY GOSH. That was the best gift that I received that day (because my LG Lollipop Phone was given to me last October 10). I leaped out of my seat and I immediately told my mom that the submission of paper was postponed. Wuhoo! I still had a little time to celebrate my birthday. As a part of my birthday celebration, I accompanied my mom to the supermarket to buy ingredients for the food that she was going to prepare for my birthday. Great.
It was still all good since I think this is a break from what I have been doing all day. Hooray! Still, I think I would have celebrated my debut better. But this is an awakening that it is unavoidable to have not-so-happy birthdays.
******************
This year, I plan on celebrating my birthday with my karaoke buddies – Ian, Patty, Winnie, Rhea – and my other blockmates. :D I wish to treat them in karaoke bar or something similar. Haha! Because of them, my hidden love for karaoke has been unleashed.
That is Plan A. If I have a budget.
If I will be tight on the budget (which will probably happen since I plan on buying an mp3 player because my Samsung mp3 player could not be detected in any computers/netbooks), I think I would just treat them in KFC or some fast food. Haha! Then, I’d treat them to TimeZone as well.
I hesitate on writing about Plan C of my birthday celebration. ..But I would still write about this since I am reallyyyy forgetful. I would like to invite my blockmates to my house in Paranaque then we’ll eat there. Afterwards, we’d go to a private pool near our place so that we could swiiiiim. :> Or I’d find someone who could lend me their Magic Sing microphone so we could karaoke all daaaay. Teehee! :>
Of course, I planned my 19th birthday celebration WAAAY ahead of time so any of these plans would not probably happen. I’ll just wait and see until my next birthday. Heck, classes have just even barely begun.

Prof Guide 1.1
(Dahil na-inspire ako sa Ultimate Prof Guide thread sa PinoyExchange, gumawa rin ako ng sarili kong prof guide na nagtatala ng mga tingin ko sa aking mga prof. :D)
Dahil pre-enlistment season na naman para sa summer, naisip ko na tapusin ko na yung mga “evaluation” ko sa mga prof ko nung first year pa lang ako. First sem muna para masayaaa. :D Saka na yung iba. :)
Ito muna schedule ko noon. Baka kasi may makaisip ng correlation between ugali ng teacher sa classroom at oras kung kailan yung klase ehh. Hihihi!
FIRST SEM
- Kas 1 – Ma’am Analyn Muñoz: Masaya ako sa klase ni Ma’am noon kasi hindi ito yung tipikal na klase sa kasaysayan noong hayskul (ibig kong sabihing tipikal ay ‘yung kailangan mong kabisaduhin yung mga sobrang daming tao at mga
petsa). Isa lang yung exam namin (finals lang) kaya talagang make-or-break (pero may bali-balita na nagpapa-oral exam na raw si Ma’am – bukod pa yan sa written na finals. hmmm…). Ang naalala ko noon, chinika lang kami ni Ma’am tungkol sa history. Marami ring pinapabasa si Ma’am pero hindi naman kailangang dibdibin yung mga readings na ‘yun. Basta gawin mo lang yung part mo na basahin yung mga readings na i-aassign niya kasi pag na-sense ni Ma’am na kaunti lang ang nagbasa sa klase… PATAY! Haha! May advantage din naman yung pagbabasa ng readings ehh… lalo na kapag malapit na ang finals. Hindi ka ma-ooverwhelm sa dami ng babasahin mo. Pero ang pinaka-fun na part sa Kas 1 kay Ma’am ay ang field trip. Wuhooo!! :)) Nagpunta kami sa Mt. Banahaw. Ang saya-sayaaa. xD Ipo-post ko siguro dito yung experience ko dun. Actually, ippost ko lang yung pinasa kong assignment sa HRIM 100. Haha!
Regrets.
“Kung may isang bagay kang pinagsisisihan na gusto mong balikan para baguhin, ano ito?”
Karaniwang sagot sa tanong na ito ay, “May mga pinagsisisihan ako ngunit hindi ko na ito nais pang balikan because I believe that everything happens for a reason.
Kapag ito ang naririnig kong sagot, ito lang ang gusto kong sabihin: Asa ka. Beauty queen paganda answer. Siyempre, sino bang may ayaw na balikan yung panahon na nagkamali sila para maitama kung ano man ang katangahan na iyon? ‘Yun nga lang, hindi ito posibleng mangyari kaya tayo nagra-rationalize na ‘everything happens for a reason.’
Malamang, dahil isa lang akong normal na tao, meron din akong mga bagay na pinagsisisihan pero hindi naman sa puntong gusto ko lahat balikan ang mga iyon. Pero may isa talagang bagay na gusto kong balikan para maitama ko – ang paraan ng aking pakikitungo sa mga kaklase at mga kaibigan ko nung high school.
Siguro kapag bibigyan ako ng chance na balikan ang high school, mas bibigyan ko ng panahon yung mga kaklase ko – yung tipong kapag may lakad sila, go lang ako. Ewan ko ba, para akong masyadong pagod sa acads noon kaya mas pinipili kong mag-stay na lang sa bahay at bumawi ng tulog. Masyado rin kasi akong busy sa pag-aalaga ng buong klase na napabayaan ko na yung “one-on-one relationships” ko sa mga kaklase ko-slash-potential close friends (ko sana). Nakakahinayang.
Naaalala ko tuloy yung sabi ni Ramon Bautista sa Formspring niya. May nagtanong sa kanya kung bakit parang ayaw na ayaw niya sa high school romance. Ang sagot niya roon ay para raw hindi masyadong umikot yung mundo ng high school-ers sa kanilang mga syota; sa high school daw kasi nabubuo ang life time friendships. Sayang naman daw ang opportunity na makilala mo pa yung ibang tao. Ako rin, nasayang yung opportunity. Wala nga lang syotang inikutan ng mundo, maliban na nga lang kung syinota ko na ang acads ko noon. Pati pala yung hiya ko at pati na rin ang sarili ko. Wow, loner.

On Being a Filipino
On Alex Lacson’s 12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country…
When I was in fourth year, my Physics teacher told my classmates and I that the whole universe “abides” by Newton's Third Law of Motion which is the Law of Interaction. He set an apple thrown upward as an example. He told us that the earth pulls the apple that's why an apple falls whenever it is thrown upward; but as to follow the Law of Interaction, the apple thrown upward can also be interpreted the other way around – the apple, no matter how minute it is, also pulls the earth.
Our actions are like apples that pull the earth, the little deeds that we do have effects on the respective societies that we are living in. That is what Alexander Lacson wants us to realize through his book 12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country.
When I started reading the book, I felt like I was reading our Christian Living book when I was in high school because of the idealism contained in it. I thought that the things written on the book were too ideal for the Philippine setting because it is undeniable that we are quite hard-headed in our own country, we always want things our way. In short, I met this book with a little cynicism. But I still kept on reading the book. Then, I realized that the only way to change our nation is through idealism.
Everyday, we are bombarded with negative news, with realism, that makes us feel inferior compared to people of other nations. We feel that we could not be at par with those who live in the West – well in fact, our “diskarte” could be at par with theirs. But how do we cure this inferiority complex? I don't think that our inferiority complex as Filipinos could not be cured with realities presented to us on the media. If only the realities presented on us could cure that 'inferiority complex', then we should have been completely cured because we are faced with realities of life all throughout our lives.
The problem with facing that realism everyday is that we get used to it and
