Reformation

The past semester has really taken its toll on me. I've never been as vulnerable as I have been. School had just become really hard and I guess the higher years were never wrong! Third Year is really hard. The past semester I realized who my friends really were. They were always there for me and comforted me whenever I felt down. A lot of things happened this past semester. Unfortunately, it's not something I would want to share on the WWW. :P

So congratulations to me! :) I've been exempted in all my Bio Subjects! :D The Lord has definitely been there for me and gave me a grade much higher than I expected. Furthermore, it's just so amazing how my grades are just on the borderline (i.e if 1.50 was 87-89, i would get an 87), so it was like the Lord wanted me to become contented and not even think or worry about taking the Finals to raise my grades. I'm just so thankful. He's always been there when I had no one to talk to. He also gave me wonderful friends who have never let me down. :)

Now it's sembreak! I plan on getting my student's permit from LTO and learn how to drive. I also need to complete my requirements and review for the National Medical Admission Test (NMAT) this coming December. I also plan on helping my mom out a bit in the business and learn how to play piano again! Gosh. I've never had this much plans for sembreak or any break I ever had since I've stayed here in the Philippines! I guess it's a first. Haha. I'm pretty excited. I even made a schedule! :D

The most important thing I plan to do this sembreak is to "fix myself". I just feel so broken mentally and emotionally. :| As I said, last semester really has taken its toll on me. I don't know how I'll begin but I have some things in mind. :) Hopefully after three weeks, I'll be renewed again. I'll be ready for the last regular semester in my Third Year life.

Can't wait. :)

Happy Semestral break Guys! :D

Wondering #2

There are times when you wonder if there's something wrong with you. Why you never manage to please people enough to make them like or even appreciate you. Aren't efforts being noticed? Nothing seems to be good enough for them to notice. Maybe it's not the type they prefer or is it that you never had the quality or the gift to make them like what you have to offer them? I don't know. These thoughts frequently go through my mind.

A candle won't be noticed until the lights go out.

Should it be this way?

Will I simply be a candle in a brightly lit room?

Cornicity

Music is <3

and

Music is

YOU.

Erg. Sorry, this suddenly came to mind while soundtripping. LOL.

Bloggin away.

It has been over a month since I last blogged. I've been very busy with school. "Ang toxic ng 3rd year (3rd year is really hard)", is what the higher years have always said, and they aren't wrong. I would have to agree. Every weekend we'd be studying for quizzes or writing reports. My poor Acy's (my laptop's name) always having its workout. Gosh. I really wish there's one day when there's nothing to do and nothing to think about. A stress-free day! Well, my Friday sunset to Saturday sunset isn't all that stressful because I don't do work. But still! (xP) When the clock strikes 6 pm or when I see the sun go down, I'd think of all the things I have to pass the next week. I want to take a break!

So, what happened during the past month? Hmm. *thinks* Nothing interesting. Nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe if I watch the last [ :( ] Harry Potter movie, I will have something to share. Right now, there's nothing for me to write about. However, I have this idea of posting some of my philosophical thoughts. I'm the kind of person who have opinions for everything, so I think that it'll be nice if I were to share it with you - whoever you are reading this.

Til next time! Hopefully, it'll be very soon! xP

Happy Insomniac

Happy Insomniac by UrbanGermany

The first time I heard this song, I was like.. "OOOOH, sooo cuuute." Haha. Well, in my head! For some reason, this song makes me feel happy. Maybe it's the fun intro or beat, I dunno. But maybe I do owe it to the beat because it's so lively and so happy! I've wanted to write songs like this, but all I've ever tried to compose are senti, friendship, love and religious songs. Add funny random songs too because I would compose on the spot for my brother when I want to tease him and make him realize a few things. ;) But I've never tried to write a fun song like this! "As a composer, I want to make my listeners happy with my music." WEH. LOL. Composer daw. :)) Maybe one day I'll get inspired and write a complete song. Not just the music or a one-liner, but a full song with the music, lyrics, and emotion.

I hope that "one day" will be soon. :P

Btw, the song's by Urbangermany. He's a Youtube artist and a very talented singer-composer. :)

What I learned from the NBA Finals Game 2

It was 11 o’clock when I woke up to the incessant rings of the telephone. I answered and it was my father. He asked me to watch the Miami-Dallas game and tell him the score. It wasn’t a problem because I wanted to watch it too. I walked groggily towards the living room and turned on the tv and changed the channel to ABS-CBN, which had the live coverage of the game. It was the 4^th quarter with 11 minutes left and Miami was leading 75 to 71. “Good”, I thought, “My dad would be pleased”. So, I texted him the score and the quarter, and he replied to text him the final score. “No problem”, I thought. So I continued to watch the game. Everyone who watched the game today knows that the Miami Heat HAD a 15 pt lead over the Dallas Mavericks. Pretty rad and Dwayne Wade even scored around 38 points. Miami Heat really took control. However, as you may notice, I emphasized the HAD, because it didn’t take long til the Mavericks caught up and around 30 seconds left in the game their score was 90-90. Yes, it didn’t take long because when I left the room to check on the laundry, there was a big gap between the two teams’ scores. When I came back, the score was tied! And it all started with Jason Kidd’s 3-pointer. The Heat was still in the lead that time and I guess Lebron James and Dwayne Wade were pretty confident that they were going to win Game 2. Hence, they didn’t pay attention and failed to block Jason Kidd who had a clear shot at the 3-point line. After that, the Miami Heat lost Game 2. It.. let’s say.. slipped through their fingers. Maybe if they continued to play hard as they had as they were getting a 15 pt lead, they would have won. The moment they lost focus was the moment they started losing the game. Imagine? Leaving Jason Kidd free at the 3-point line? I’m not that knowledgeable about player stats, field goals, etc., but I know that you should not let him or any player have a clear shot at the 3-point line. You’ll never know when they’ll get lucky, ya know? ;)

There are times in life when we will feel complacent because we’ve attained “much” or because we’re “sure” that we’re going to get the results that we want. However, we must remember, the game is not over yet. In the last 6 minutes (like Jason Kidd) or maybe in the last 11 seconds (like Reggie Miller), “game-changing” things might happen. In just that moment when you lose all the focus and the determination you had in the first half of the game, that’s when you start losing.

Do you remember the last time you’ve lost focus and been complacent?

I remember my last time and I hope it’ll be the last.

I hope it’ll be yours too.

Go for your dreams!

Be like the Mavericks who never let that 15 pt lead discourage them. ;)

[What team am I actually supporting here? :)) ]

Tagged

Sandra from sandraganzo.com tagged me.

Here are the rules:

1. Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves.

2. You have to choose and tag ten people.

3. Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them.

4. No tag backs.

5. Have fun.

Unfortunately, I won't be following Rule #2 and #4 because I don't know anyone else who has a blog that Sandra hasn't already tagged. I'll just tag whoever reads this post. :P YOU! :P

So here goes:

1. I'm a music lover. :) I listen to all genres of music, except "Screamo". xP Please. I don't need anyone screaming in my ear when I relax. xP

2. I can play the piano, guitar, and violin. I'm not an expert on those instruments though.

3. I love playing basketball. :D I'm scared of playing volleyball, not because it hurts really bad

when you get spiked in the face (the basketball to the face hurts more! :P), but because I'm not really good at it and I might annoy my teammates like I did in 1st year high school.

4. I don't eat pork or any other seafood besides fish.

5. I <3 soup/any viand with soup.

6. I compose songs on the spot, but I forget the lyrics or the tune after I sing them. :))

7. I love SUNSETS. Sadly, I've never seen the sun go down across the sea/bay/ocean like it

should. I would only have glimpses of it. :(

8. I enjoy watching K/J/T-dramas too. :>; So cuute!

9. I like Math. :| Yeah, I do. Maybe my mind likes to memorize a few formulas and manipulate

them, rather than just memorize A LOT like what my majors require. But I love my course. :D

10. I have an old pillow (I think it's 10 years old already? xP) that I still love and could never get

rid of. :D It's my hugging pillow! I'm almost never without a hugging pillow!

A Night to Remember

"May 25, 2011.

At Ateneo de Manila University.

We interviewed a BS Health Sciences major.

Not just any BS Health Sciences major,

but a BS Health Sciences major who is able to juggle his studies and career in showbusiness successfully."

Who is this guy? :>

I don't know if you can see his face clearly in the photo above, but the guy is Robi Domingo.

He's the 1st runner up in PBB Teen Edition 2008 and a former MYX VJ. You can also see him perform in ASAP with the Gigger boys (e.g Enchong Dee).

I knew Robi Domingo was a smart student, but I didn't know that he was REALLY smart. Even though he was busy shooting for a television series, he was still able to become a Dean's lister in his school. Furthermore, when he was in high school, he qualified for UP Intarmed. O.O

So I'm just going to end here. I don't plan to narrate the whole interview. :P

It was a fun night. We got to learn more about him and his 'priorities in life', which was part of our objectives. ;) I hope we get to interview more people! Sadly, Comm III requires only one and it's over! I won't be able to interview celebrities in the future. :( Maybe if I become a MYX VJ. Haha. I wish. :P

Fireproof

"I have learned:

you never leave your partner

especially in a fire."

-Caleb, Fireproof

Chi's right. It is such a wonderful movie. Better watch it! ;)

Guard

Guard yourself against false hope.

Protect yourself from unwanted pain.

Expect the unexpected.

Save some for yourself.

Lessons one must learn.

Wondering

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I guess it drew you far from me.

I can't say that I've done nothing wrong, and I've thought about it constantly.

I've tried to mend the once beautiful bond, but it feels like I have failed.

Cuz right now you're not reciprocating. Sadly, I think you've bailed.

Friday the 13th.

I actually didn't realize it was Friday the 13th last May 13, 2011. I guess I thought more of the impromptu speech that I was going to deliver that afternoon than what the day/date was. Sadly, thinking about it more didn't save me from delivering a "FAIL" speech. Take note of the quotation marks because I didn't really fail that midterm exam officialgrade-wise, but I didn't deliver my speech as well as I thought I could. The topic was about the implementation of a dress code in UP and it required me to defend my stand whether I approve of it or not. I was given 5 minutes to prepare for it. I decided that I was against the dress code because it prevented students from expressing themselves. "It is an expression of their individuality. Blah Blah." Unfortunately, the messy outline that I made was a speech that lasted for 2 minutes. I blanked out! I repeated a few of my points and said some verbal fillers and fortunately I went beyond the minimum time. A bit embarrassed, I got off the stage - THEN I remembered what I actually wanted to say and it ~x( me. (I couldn't think of the right word for that now. LOL.) Oh well, I guess I'm not really a good impromptu speaker. :))

After everyone delivered their speeches, we had an activity. It was an ETHOS activity and we were to arrange ourselves in a circle and pass around a paper with our creative name designs and people were going to write their comments about you. I was pretty excited for the activity because the last time I did that was in 3rd year, when I was a new student in the montessori. One of the comments I received that I never forgot was that I had my own world (May sarili kang mundo). When I got that I thought to myself, "I'm autistic?" O.O I don't mean to offend those with autism, but it was just that my highschool literature teacher used that word to refer to people who had their own world because children with autism act like they "have their own world". You know what I mean. Anyway, I wanted to see how my college classmates perceived me. So we did the activity. I didn't notice the time but I think the activity went on for 30 minutes. When I got my paper, I smiled. ACTUALLY, I laughed. :)) I couldn't believe the comments. It was sweet, funny, flattering, sweet..(infinity x). I didn't get a negative comment. Thing is, I hope all the comments they wrote were true! :)) The top comment I got was about my talent a.k.a voice. The sum of what they said about it is that I have a nice voice and I should be more confident about it. Hmm. More confident. Hmm. I'll try to be. Once I really acknowledge that I really have a nice voice. O.O *sighs* Believing comments about my singing is really hard for me. Hmm. I'll try to be. Hmm. I don't know if they know this.. but everything they told me really made me happy. It's what I needed after the fail speech. It's what I needed to know although I can't fully acknowledge till now. But I love my blockmates. :) I love my friends. I love everyone who have been there for me and believed in me. :)

So who said Friday the 13th was bad luck?

Missing you.

Before I start cramming for my exam tomorrow, I want to get a few things out of my chest. The emotions are building up and I really need to release 'em. What's better than to write it, to pour everything on a piece of paper, well, in this case a blog. Hmm. Anyway....

As I walked through the gates of our home, it felt like there was something missing. Something that should have been there that wasn't. Yes, the car wasn't in the driveway, but it really didn't bother me. Then what could have been missing? Well, it's something that'll greet you whenever you come in. Something that tries to sneak in the house and needs to be bribed with a slice of bread to get out. Something that's ecstatic to see you. Something which actually feels like a SOMEONE. A part of the family, a part of our home, something that will indeed be missed - my dog, RAMBO. He died last night, around 11:45. When I came back from Ilocos, I saw him lying down, already feeling weak. I was pretty sleepy, so I didn't really notice how weak he was really feeling. I thought he was just intentionally blocking the way as he would always do to earn doggie treats. When my father got him to move away from the door, I saw Rambo limping. My dad said Rambo had been sick for the past few days. He wasn't that weak when I left to Ilocos, so I guess he got really sick while I was away. The vet already gave him some medicine, but I guess it was too late. Rambo was rather old in doggie years and it was too late. He was just too weak. It's so sad. :( I miss my doggy. I actually feel sorry that I took him for granted. I'm always busy with school and other things that I rarely play with him... and... now... he's... gone. *sighs* I'll miss you Rambo. I love you and I'm sorry if you never really felt it lately. *sighs* Because of that, I won't be buying a dog anytime soon.

Bye Bye Rambo. :(

Rambo

(December 2008 - May 2, 2011)

What About Love

"What about love?

What about feeling?

What about all the things that make life worth living?

What about faith?

What about trust?

And tell me baby what about us?"

-What About Love, Lemar

The song's relaxing and rather cute. :P I just hope people actually think of those things when they enter a relationship.

Change

I admit, I am a talkative person, especially when I'm with my close friends. I tell them almost everything I feel or experience. I inherited this trait from my grandmother, at least that's what my mother says when I "debate" with her. :)) However, I think my life is not completely an open book. I still have my secrets. :-" There are still things I don't tell my close friends, something that belongs to my secret archives and my messy room. I won't expound on that because I don't want to give you a clue on the things I keep secret. ;)

Then why did I even mention it? Well, if I were given a choice, I would want to be invisible. I want to be doing my own thing free from other people's eyes and comments. I'm done being a person who longs for attention. I'm done being a person who wants to have a lot of friends, who would do everything she could to have more and more friends. I just want to give up this part of me that longs to be popular. As what a handful of my friends know, I wanted to be an actress and singer before. It never came to fruition though, I just wasn't good enough. I didn't have sufficient self-esteem and confidence to join contests and audition. I did join a singing contest in our school once. It was just because of my class adviser who persuaded me to join. He really believed in me and I thank him for that. I thank him for making me feel what I've been yearning to feel before. But that's all over. I'm ready to be a doctor. So right now, I decide to stop all things that still supports this part of me that made me that way. I'll put it in a little box and store it in a musty old cabinet. I guess when all my doctor-related dreams are fulfilled, I'll open that old box of dreams, smile, and say "Hey. You were part of my life, 10 years ago." :)

Anyway, what I just told you is one of the things I keep secret, but it's not really a secret. :)) Some of my friends already know this and now YOU know. Haha.

Toodles! Until next blog, I guess it'll no longer be "New Blogs Every Tuesday", but "New Blogs Every Time-I'm-Not-Busy." :P

New Year's Resolution FAIL

Haha. It has been 2 months since I last blogged. Obviously, I haven't been following my New Year's Resolution. I'd been busy with school for the past months. Every week is what we university students would call HELL WEEK. Exams. Exams. Exams. The worst week was when we had 6 exams! O.O Now, we're on our 1-week vacation. *WHEW* Next week, we're going back to the same old routine . I dunno if I'm ready to go back, but I have to. We have to. Once the summer sem's over, we're officially COLLEGE JUNIORS and after 4 sems, UP GRADUATES.

Aja, Aja, FIGHTING! *in a pseudo-korean accent*

Party, Party. :P

Last night, I attended the debut party of my former blockmate, Venus B. Chi and I came 2 hours late, but we still were able to catch up with the fun! :D So, as what I would do in every party I attend, I took a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, after taking around 50-something photos, my camera broke! O.O Well, the lcd did. It kinda lost it's "brightness"; hence, I could barely see anything. Nevertheless, the party was still fun despite the broken camera lcd. Haha.

Soooo, yeaaaah, we made the most of our time spent with socami before it left us. Here are some of our "cool" secret photos. :> LOL.

Btw, watch our upcoming TV series: MAGKARIBAL! :))

Few pics of the cast: :))

Cast your burdens..

They did it again.

Last Friday night, when I woke up from my afternoon slumber, my father told me that I was asked to sing during our Sabbath school program the next day. I didn't know what to song to sing! I browsed through my old music for a while and decided that I was going to sing "Light of the World" because it was quite easy to sing. Well, I actually haven't completely made up my mind about the song, so I ended up not practicing any song that night.

The next morning, as we were preparing to go to church, my dad asked me what song was I going to sing. "Hindi ko po alam. Duet nalang po tayo! (I don't know. Let's sing a duet!)", I replied. Then, he asked me if I knew the song "Lift up your hands". I knew the song, but didn't actually know the lyrics. So he wrote it for me. We were able to practice the whole song thrice when we got to church. To my surprise, we weren't going to sing during Sabbath school (preliminary service; the time for lesson study and small groups), but during the Divine service ("main" mass or the actual service)!! O.O Gosh. :|

Anyway, I kinda fluctuated when I sang it in front of the congregation. O.O It's all right. The message of the song is more important. Aaaaaaaanddd, it's the first time I sang a duet with my father in church! :D Next time, we'll practice more! No cramming? haha.

Here's a clip of us singing the song. I didn't put the whole song. It's just a combination of a few segments from the original clip. :)

Here's the link for "Lift up your hands" by Basil Valdez.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GwMfywNhUI

Yummy hands

Naked blood - a Japanese horror film I will never ever watch. O.O

Last year, Chi really wanted me to watch this clip of a lady eating her own eye. Unfortunately (?), Youtube banned us from watching it because we weren't 18. Now she's of age. So while we were in her dorm yesterday, she finally showed me the clip. She even showed me the clip of the same woman eating her own hand. :|

Gosh. It was so disgusting! Although I'm amazed out how they were able to make the scenes look very real, it still was very creepy, awful and disgusting. O.O The clips came from the movie Naked blood. Here is the plot from Wikipedia.com:

"A scientist named Eiji has developed a new chemical called 'MySon' that can turn pain into pleasure. He decides to put three girls who attend the experiment held by Eiji's mother in the test. Meanwhile, Eiji has a crush on one of the girls, Rika. 'MySon' influences the girls gradually. The gluttonous woman wishes to have the best food in the world, but she ends up eating herself. The vain woman wishes to have the thinnest and most beautiful body in the world. However, noticing hairs and pores all over her body, she tries to mutilate herself. Rika does not seem to be influenced by 'MySon', but Eiji finds out her secret and everything goes wrong..."

Yes, they showed the whole process of "eating herself" and "mutilate herself". :| My eyes couldn't take anything more than the hand and eye eating. So, if you're going to invite me to watch that, I'll pass.

-The hand scene got stuck in my head. I really hope that I won't be dreaming of it tonight. O.O

Zodiac Signs

Due to the changes in the alignment of the Earth caused by the moon's gravitational pull and the addition of a new zodiac sign (Ophiucus, the serpent holder), the dates of zodiac signs have changed. Apparently this change has been going on for centuries/millenia, but it is only recently that it has been brought to light. Well, I only learned about this a few minutes ago, so it's recent for me. :))

According to the Minnesota Planetarium Society, this is the new arrangement:

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.

Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20

That means I'm a Taurus now. I'm no longer a Gemini. :|

I got these from http://www.gotohoroscope.com/gemini-meanings.html and http://www.gotohoroscope.com/taurus-meanings.html

So what zodiac sign best suits me?

I think both. Can there be a hybrid- like a Taumini or a Gemirus? :))

But it really doesn't matter, because the stars don't define who you are and most especially don't decide who you're going to be in life. Naks. ;))

You're totally right! :D

ALL THE SLANDER AND DOUBLESPEAK.: Can I Haz Peeta?

I want a PEETA too! I wanna post a sentence from Mockingjay but my friend hasn't read the book yet. I don't want it to be a spoiler for her! She might read my post before reading the book. Bad Bad. :))

Unforgettables

I've been thinking of the past year and I realized that I want to share with you a few of my unforgettable moments! Although I've always been toxic in the university, I never fail to have those one-of-a-kind, worthwhile experiences with my dearest friends. I'm so amazed at how quickly time flies! It seems like yesterday when I was wishing Organic Chemistry would end because I severely lacked sleep. Imagine having to study Organic Chemistry for 1 month (Summer Semester)! We had exams almost every week! But now, when I look back at those moments, I realize that... I'M REALLY GLAD IT'S ALL OVER. BWAHAHA. LOL. Kidding aside (although it really is true. haha), I realize that those kind of moments brought my friends and I even closer to each other. We ranted. We cried. We laughed. We detoxified. We did them all together. Plus, those moments made me a stronger and simply a better person. (Oh really? haha)

Anyway, here are a few of those moments:

Btw,

Toxicity will never be over!!

1. Communications II

We really had a hard time with our professor during the first half of the semester. He was rather scary and he really was very picky on research topics. O.O When we finally got our topics approved, we went to UP Diliman to borrow the books we needed. Gosh. I was a Bio student who wrote about Microfinancing! :| It was a real challenge for me to write the paper. But I passed! Here we are in a museum in Diliman. This is after we returned the books we borrowed. Finally, we were done. :D

2. PE 2: Swimming

"Swimming, swimming in the swimming pool...." It was the song our swimming teacher taught us. I think it was his own composition. Haha. He loved giving us a hard time. He would give us "paddle" training until our legs hurt! His final exam was to swim 10 laps back and forth in a 50 m pool! He also told us to swim in a 16 feet pool! I did all of those things and still ended up with a not-so-good grade. Good thing P.E is GWA excluded. *sighs* At least I passed! ;)

3. Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry. What can I say? Only that I had a very hard

time!!! Well, the laboratory was okay. It was hard, but bearable. Lecture was the one that kept me wide awake at night. Naah. I was never "wide awake". O.O But still! I couldn't explain how hard it was! As I've mentioned earlier, it was taught in only one month and exams were almost every week. I'm glad it's all

over. Now I have Biochemistry to worry about. Yay! O.O So here we are making the most of our weekends! We went to 2 debuts. Haha. It's the first time I ever went to 2 debuts on 2 consecutive days.

4. Comparative Anatomy

My most favorite Biology subject and my most favorite lab teacher! :D Although laboratory was difficult, it was fun! Everything was so interesting! I was never sleepy during this 7-10 am class. Muscles. Bones. Arteries and Veins. It was cool touching and knowing about them. I would frequently imagine myself as a doctor/surgeon/medical student during classes. Enough about our amazing laboratory! Lecture was okay. We had a funny professor who loved to crack up jokes and make poems around 4 am. LOL. Yes, she makes poems that early. She's a gifted poet and she's smart too. :D I think she has a PhD in Public Health. We also have another lecture professor who would substitute our original professor whenever she is absent. She's more serious but never fails to catch our full attention. She's very good in explaining things. Very smart. Oooh. How I love Comparative Anatomy. ;;) Best biology subject so far. I learned a lot.

5. Biorhythm

I didn't plan on auditioning for this organization. I guess I have to thank my friend for putting that idea in my head. I enjoy being in this organization with these fun people. I love singing with them. Even though I don't really like singing with a chorale voice, it's still singing and I love it! I especially love the blendings too. :D Here we are before our very first performance for a benefit concert.
