Jailed in the Fortress

Whenever I decide. I regret.
Sorry. Sorry if I the message spelled for you was too much for the relationship we have.
Moreso, I just want the friendship.
Maybe you had thought, that I have given up before. Long before I mean.
But truly, I just gave up lately.
And now that it feels so hard to do it, you are penalizing me for not noticing me.
Thanks if that would really make you happy.
I guess I'll live just this way.
I'll live my life, for sure.

I thought I'd be happy to let go, but more that I think of it, I see myself sad and longing for you.
Truth hurts. I'll just live with it. But if I won't ever fall for anyone again. That's not my fault. That's not even yours. That's what I was meant to so I'll live with it.

For the title, I do feel like I'm jailed in the fortress. Whatever the title means, it just shouts that I still feel for her (not love?) but never mind. I do. So please. I hope I can have peace of mind. Just I hope this thing ends before 2007 starts..

Oops by the way...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

MA. FRANCESCA CO QUIAMBAO! :P

Thanks sa lahat! Pt ROCKS!

Mixed Emotions

Today, we had our first batch yuletide party and homecoming... It was fun so I'd like to have some of the thoughts written here.

I started a day with my sister shouting her head out... 'Gising! Gising!' ... Fuck, I was irritated and told her to get out of mah room, so she did. And I stood. Inat muna... Eat some vienna sausage and I took a bath... After all those things... syempre, dressed up, wala lang... ayus naman. Then, it was about nine when I departed from home, went straight to get a trike and zoom it goes, I rode the jeep. Yellow jeep. Only in Gapo.

There, I went to King's. I was the only person there. Walked to the Globe Telecoms, the attendant was not there, I would buy the 40 peso sim card there. haha. tipid... I'm so thrilled cos one by one they're coming. I was so early, in fact the earliest, look how excited I am.

Then, Ian and I went to the Pancit Malabon Order Shop which is by the way near the Victory Liner and Manila Glass Supply. Then, we went off, more people came. David's off and we rode the Light Blue Castillejos/Subic jeep. THE PARTY HAS STARTED!

To Be Continued...

Freaking Missed The Days

Traveled to Gapo. Nice to be back home. Back where you're at. Missed Kalai but you're ready to have some fun during your break.

Well, I am just blessed I have enough TV intake, sleep, and food here. Food, kasi hindi mamantika! Haha. Tama lang naman. TV! TV! TV! at syempre ang sleep ko hanggang alas dose ng tanghali.

May trippings din ang dabarkads.. ang pagbalik sa sk00ol! RS.. at ang kanilang bazaar. IT's bizarre. gagagaag.

Tapos yung Christmas Party ng mga CAT. At syempre Internet galore. Pare, wala akong PC sa haus. haha. at wala pa akong pera, sinira kasi ng ate ko PC eh. syet.

Masaya yun sa beach. Haha. Tapos sa beach ulit sa December 27. Haha. Ansaya. Ang itim ko na mga parekoi. Maitim pa lalo! haha.

Haircut! Shet. The freaking people can't understand that once I made up my mind on what style of hair I prefer, I'll get one. Nah. They're not giving up. They want me to cut the bangs. The hair. Err. ERr... Err...

Anyways, its just a self expression. So why do they care so much? Impression? Even I dont care about how people see me. They have to realize that they have their own lives and they have to freaking care for it first before talking about anyone else. Freaking bastards, those gossip makers can't really complete their life without telling anyone negative to other people. Just idiots. These people are just f*cked up with their lives, they decide to just meddle with others'. Freaks. Jerks.

Uggh. Anyways. I have to go. Just updating. It's the 24th right. Pasko na ng mga Katoliko mamaya. Haha. :P MC!

Happy New Year to all na lang! Kitakits sa mga UP and Kalai Pipz!

The Gifts

So, I went to SM just to buy Dean his blue polo shirt and Jodee for her Blue Magic 'one-sided guy-named stuff' and friendship emblem.

That was fun. Minus the headache, the loss of key, the smelly Manila.

That was some fun...

This should have been posted about ten days before. Haha.

---------------------------------------------

Then, its time to depart from the corridor, the fun and nice corridor. Then, I see ya on January. But first, that virtual presentation gave me headaches. So... That's it..

Ten Days Without a Post

I can't believe I made it ten days without posting, haha. Anyways here are some happenings done between that period of time. It was so busy, so dramatic, so err... and so boring nga lang haha. Sige pagtyagaan na nga yan.

First off, the Talent Night of Mr. and Ms. Sporsfest. Only fifty of the five hundred Kalai Residents were able to watch. F*ck it. That SportsCom. Uggh. A giant UGGH!

Next, the Physics Exam I have told you. I have passed it. 25/40. That's great na no! Kahit na 62.5% iyon at 2.5 ang equivalent. Gotta try harder the next exams.

The freaking Oblation Run. I missed it. No big naman. Haha. I got my 'pass' Physics exam kaya ENJOY. Wala naman kwenta yan.

The freaking Rally thing. Wala lang freaky lang. Haha. Napasa na TOFI> :(

Next, the Yuletide Party, understatement is CULMINATING ACTIVITY NG LAHAT NG COMMITTEE SA KALAI, waah. We ranked fourth dun sa General Cleaning. Haha. In fairness ang sweet namin dun sa naregaluhan namin ung BA, pa roses roses pa. :P

Tapos yung sa Sports Com, ayun nanalo si Niccolo at Ave as Mr and Ms Sportsfest, lufet ng Asuldier. Kahit 2nd lang kami Overall :P Mga beh kayo.

Tapos gift giving sa Dos. Natanggap ko ay Digital Fortress na book ni Dan Brown na ibibigay ko sana sa nilalang na iba diyan. Kaya lang, mukhang ayaw na naming mag-usap so ayus lang. :P Si Chiness yung nabunot ko. Siya pala si Brainless Bangus.

Tapos sa Sigaw, natanggap ko ay Book na naman! The Tales of the Greek Heroes. :P Si Kemuel nakabunot.


Basta yun random things lang. Tapos uwian na sa kanya kanyang bahay. In fairness ansarap na naman ng BBQ at pancit plus Iced Tea na may calamasi touch ni Ma'am Tirona.

Ansaya ng Kalai. Hindi nga lang alintana ang sadness na mararamdaman pagdating ng Enero.
Ang dating makulay. Baka mawalan na ng kulay. Bakit? Kasi wala na. Wala na sila.

Physics: Oh Physics!

Well I woke up at 5 AM today. Prepared for this Physics long exam. I reviewed until about 2AM last night and I hope that's enough to pass this 40-item mind-boggling test.

Through with that.

Doha Update!

Thanks to Violito Payla, Boxing and Gabica in Cue. We had our two golds in! :)

COngrats Philippines. I knew we'll have our time.

The First Philippine Idol: Mau Marcelo

What can I say? It's Mau's time to shine.
The first Philippine Idol is indeed, Mau Marcelo.
She's my bet from the very start of course aside from Gian and Apple.
I'm so happy she won although nabitin ako kagabi since the Dorm Manager let us watch the Finale, freak guys from the back were noisy and the Dorm Manager told us to silence the TV.
Anyhow, I'm so happy it's Mau!
Go grab that Asian Idol title. :)

The Winning Piece: I Got Goosebumps Here...

Doha Disappointments

Filipino team this year for Doha, a big disappointment. We aimed for at least ten gold medals, but until now, we haven't placed any gold yet. The ugly part is that we only have the 0-3-2 standing. Even bronze medals, we can't get. The Philippine team is sucky and its suckier that you are obliged to support them. What went wrong. I don't know. The only reality I can see is that they're not too prepared for it, and that's why we're losing. At least we had four gold medals at Busan.

The bowling team was such a disappointment. Knowing Olympic people were there. It's a shame they got beaten.

The boxing team has wins, we have sure bronzes but what we need is a gold so let's see.

The taekwando team did the best as far, giving us two silvers and one bronze I think.

Gabica of the 8-balls, did a really good job claiming the silver.

All we can do now is wait, pray for them. Hope they win at least a gold. There are only five more days till the ending ceremony. So, who knows? We can still get golds. We're Filipinos right.

The Philippine Idol Finals

Last night was the Philippine Idol Final Performance Night. And I bet at least in one performance there, if you would've watched, you'll have goosebumps.
Well, tonight we would know who the Filipinos voted as the 1st Philippine Idol which is set to compete for Asian Idol next year.
The Finale night was divided into three categories... The order of performance is: Gian, Jan, Mau.

Performer's Choice
Gian. Impossible Dream. The song was great, arrangements was irresistable. The strong point is the end part. I love it. Good starting song. He proved he can jive with the other contestants. Gian did it from impossible to possible. The first note up to the last are fine. Excellent performance it is.
Jan. Say That You Love Me. I never liked Jan, but with his improvement and the way he did this song, he was at his par. He nailed it. Although his voice is not my type. I think the performance was great. Although the judges seemed to say it was him who won this round, I oppose. He did well, but he's not the best.
Mau. The song choice was not really the best she could come up with. She should have done better if she picked some more challenging song, with climax. She had rough middles and the tones were falling off key. But her 'kulots' and styles put her through. I think she did well. Not just what I expected her to be.

My Ranking:
1. Gian (9.5)
2. Jan (9.4)
3. Mau (9.2)

Judges Ranking:
1. Jan
2. Gian
3. Mau

Judges' Choice
Gian. Volare. The song just captivated me. It was his best song as far in the night. He nailed it. He was in his element. He did a cool job doing what people wants. He's enthusiasm and passion did entice the audience. It was a cool and breezy, effortless performance.
Jan. Sway. The song was too easy for him. Needed sexiness and he got some. So, that's why it somehow worked. He just did not connect with audience that well. For me, Gian did better. He did good.
Mau. Balut. The funny thing is the choice for her is not really meant for a contyest. Maybe as same as the males but she did it pretty well. She just seemed weak. She's not up for competition. The guys did really well and she did just good, just enough. I liked the song, I liked the performance.

My Ranking
1. Gian (9.3)
2. Mau (9.2)
3. Jan (9.0)

Judges Ranking
1. Gian
2. Jan
3. Mau

Record Producers' Choice

Gian. Flying Without Wings. The arrangement of the song was so not-Westlife. Its classy, world-class. Gian jived in through the song. It was his best song of the night. It feels like he'll win when he sang it. Not enough goosebumps but excellent excellent performace. The best so far. I never expected that he'll do this song, but in the way he did, he absoultely nailed it. Terrific tones and timings on the last lines of chorus. The ending was passionate. Two thumbs up for Gian.

Jan. Evergreen. When I learned it was this song, I asked myself: "Is the Record Producer a Westlife fan?" Nothing new with the performance. For me, he had the voice for the song. Still, the connection killed him. Plus, for me he had some difficulties in a lot of parts of the songs. The high tones were barely met. Jan did outstanding showing a good fight for the night. The overshadowing of the judges kills me. They made it seem like Jan's winning.

*drum rolls*

Mau. On My Own. I'll only start with: "I love Mau!". The song was the best suited for her. The producer' s choice fits her perfectly. Only Mau made my hair rise. She is exemplary. Truly world-class. You think you know who wins, you think Gian did the best, but it's not the end until the fat lady sings. Mau did nail it, she's just perfect, enough to cover her past two almost falling performances. An underdog, a star. Mau is my Philippine Idol. It's too good, that even Gian fans and other Jan fans had a standing ovation for that performance. The judges comment were cut for a segment because of the audience's wild reaction and Mau crying. She was so overwhelmed by the people's reactions. She did really really well. Excellent. Just right. Just making it to Asian Idol.

My Ranking:
1. Mau (10.0)
2. Gian (9.5)
3. Jan (9.2)

Judges Ranking
1. Mau
2. Gian
3. Jan



Mau (28.4)
Gian (28.3)
Jan (27.6)

For me the judges acted that way for the people to feel that Mau is an underdog. Filipinos want underdog winners. If Mau wins, the judges are effective in doing the reverse psychology thing at the same time pushing Mau to be challenged and perform the best she can do. She rocked. Mau is my winner. Gian for me is 2nd; Jan, a lousy third placer.

Knowing Filipinos:
1. Mau, 2. Jan, 3. Gian

The Coke Jeep

I only realized today that I have satisfied my dream. Haha.It maybe shallow but, yes! I have ridden the Coke jeep! Hoorah for me. I only realized it early this morning but I rode in that Toki Coke Jeep yesterday. Adik no? Di alam pinag-gagagawa?

Hehe. Anyways, it seems like the whole bunch of THEM are ganging up on me. I don't know why but I feel some kind of friction when I'm around them. Paranoid.

Last night, it was dawg, 11:30 p.m. and whose taking Berm0n'ts orders? Yup, I was the Berm0nt's bAby boy last night. It arrived 45 minutes later. About 12:15 pm, and we're all starving.

There's this corridor feature in Kalai and I am part of the Virtual Team so I'm so excited to work with this coding and designing stuffs. Bad thing is that the head, wants people with no knowledge do the work, just because they have laptops. Okay, so I'll antagonize again and this guys would surely react... violently. So, I decided that I'd let it flow. :P I'll let it be. Bahala sila diyan...

Freaky... I woke up this morning and knowing that the General Inspection. Defined as girls coming in your rooms, roomraids it, criticize your cleanliness and hygiene. That's it. Voila, complete humiliation. Who cares if my briefs are hung on my closet. Why should the clothes be color coded. Why should things be so arranged and orderly?

What if I'm very much satisfied when things are disorganized, unarranged? What if you loathe cleanliness? What if you can work efficiently if you have this dirty surrounding. I'm only pointing out that each of us has styles. Styles and difference in tastes. If this is what is clean to us, then fine. Don't get me wrong. My room's not that clean, but I'm improving. I like cleanliness but not to that extent that personal things and preferences are interfered. Its not cleanliness, orderliness or what, its Martial Law.

What do you expect in a guy's closet? What do you expect us to be. Of course, if our room's so clean and sparkling. No joke. I would think this guy's a bit of a girl. Not that I have prejudice but it feels really low to have your room's dust get noticed, even in fact you want them to be there. The sweaty smell from your bedsheets that you'll miss. The feeling of comfortability is being sacrificed. That's why we live in rooms, because we want things to be independently done and be what you prefer to do.

We can't be that clean! We're guys and we are more of the action-type gender you know. So, it's possible that things are different here. And that girls' hygiene or eyes should never be the basis of this cleanliness because we're not them, and we shan't be compared to them.

Say NO to Martial Law GI's. Haha. Ang exage ko. Third GI pa lang ng floor namin ito. Yung iba, weekly pa nga :P

No Classes: The Ultimate Student Day-off

The week before the dreaded 1st Exams Week is the ultimate student day-off. The four-day break due to Bonifacio Day and the anticipation for the inaccurate reports of Reming getting into Manila sucked and gave us long lasting rests. Tulog to the nth level. Haha.

Now, the Board of Regents elected people of sorts for positions, and we had half of our day off. Ayus no? I'm really happy kasi kailangan di mastress one week before the exams.

Haha. Overwhelmed naman ako dahil may mga bloghoppers na nagtatag sa akin :P Three days pa lang ako online so. It's really ayus.

I have my new Smart number. Of course I 'm not that dumb to post it here. Haha. Anyways, I just realized that ano nga ba? Kailangan lang mabuhay. Easy lang mga parekoy. Haha.

Until something popped out from this empty brain. Wala akong maishashare. Baka may mga happenings na mangyari. Tignan natin. Good luck na lang sa aken. Haha.

Sige.. ^_^

Will I Ever Learn?

This week is even more tiring, kahit na wala si Reming. Nakakapagod maghintay no? Yes. It's pretty tiring. Kung alam niyo lang siguro. Hai. Nakakainis dahil kapag love talaga napapa-Tagalog ako.

The very thought of this post is simple. This song played seven times in two days. Imagine, two days. Nambibwisit ang floormates ko so baka i times four pa yan. Sabayan pa nung isang kanta. erk.. wag na ipaalala na umiiyak ako nung mga araw na iyon, ha? Natripan ng floormates kong patugtugin ng seven times na naririnig ko and even I want to stop them, I just have to adjust. Bakit naman kasi sa dinami-rami ng tugtugin naging memorable ito?

Simple. It was the first time I ask her to dance and she refused. But she promised me na may isa sa JS Prom. Woohoo! Anyways. Wala lang. Adik lang. Naku. Dapat na nga palang kalimutan. Pero bakit andiyan pa rin. It sucks to face the truth but she's still there, whatever that red thing that contains aorta, the ventricles and the atria. Let me tell you that she's still what my heart is singing. She's still the one I love. Kaya katulad nang sinabi ko kay Eden, hindi na ako maghihintay dahil imposible pero... ayun, ako pa rin si gago. Kailangan ba talagang ganito ang aking maramdaman...

Kung nagtataka na kayo sa kantang ito.

I can still remember like yesterday
We were so in love in a special way
And knowing that your love will
make me feel oh so right
But now I feel lost, don't know what to do
Each and every day I think of you
Holdin' back the tears, I'm trying with all my might

Refrain:
Because you've gone and left me standing All alone
And I know I've got to face tomorrow On my own....
But baby....

Chorus:

Before I let you go
I want to say I love you
I hope that you're listenin' 'Coz it's true,baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do,
yeah So before I let you go
I want to say .....
I love you

Interlude:
I wish that it could be just like before
I know I could've given you so much more
Even though you know I'd given you all my love
I miss your smile, I miss your kiss
Each and every day I reminisce
'Coz baby it's you That I'm always dreaming of...

Repeat Refrain
Repeat Chorus (except last 3 words)

Bridge:
Coz Letting love go is never easy
But I love you so That's why I set you free And I know
Someday
Somehow
I'll find a way To leave it all behind me
Guess it wasn't meant to be But baby.........

Repeat chorus (except last 3 words)
So before I let you go I want to say.......I love you .

Love is so complicated. Sometimes, you'll just wonder why. But you'll never know the answer.
Frankly, I haven't move on. Although I realize I have to, I have to get her out of the system. But what can I do, if I truly miss and love her? Pero kapag andiyan siya, wala ka namang magawa. Kapag andiyan siya, wala lang. Di mo pwedeng gawin kasi wala ka namang maihaharap sa kanya. Toink.

At iyon, bakit nga ba pangalan niya pa rin ang password mo?

What a Monday...

This freaking feeling for this 'new' girl, I have to think about this. I do need to recheck why I liked her. Let's just put it this way. I got her number from a friend, I thought she was someone I know from the past, but apparently she's not. And she ended up not replying any of my text messages. I'm so fucked up. Well, I admit that I used this thing to try to connect to her, but it just didn't work.

It just irritates me that this feeling for her is in fact growing. I really like her but I think it's time to stop. I can't get further, it should and should just remain as 'admiration' thing. Not more than that.

I discovered that just she's not the friend all you can person, that I thought she would be... That I thought she'd entertain people and try to mingle with them or just maybe just in text. Well, I am ashamed of her right now and everywhere I go she's there. Kalay, Math Building and that really frustrates me. Frustrated that this girl's face is so so irresistable. Its just that I dont have the face or the wrath to present myself to her.

Just bad realizations. She's the second girl who have made me feel the way I felt before. Just lesser that I'm willing not to try to do anything before making any move. Can we be friends rather? I just want to know you better. Can we? Maybe that's what I should work out.

And clear my freaking sh*t with a lot of people. Haha.

PS to Pauline: Miss ya, girl! Haha. Yung SOEP! Waaaah... wala lang na miss lang kita tapos i'm pretty overwhelmed dahil nakachat din kita ulit sa wakas.. hehehee... kasi nag states pa eh... hehehe

Sportsfest Fever: Find Some Gal

I was freaking placed in Word Factory. Not in Scrabble, when even the fact I was the first to sign up there. Anyways, I won the first game. I lost my Championship game in Bracket I. That means I have another game, a battle for third.

Enough of this stuff. It's been months since I saw her. Rarely, in school days. Once or twice last semestral break. That gave me a chance to start for myself, I realized that if we are not to be, then fine, there are a lot of girls there, and I know there's someone that can be for me.

True it is. I have to admit the fact that I have to move on. We have not been texting for about two weeks. Just right. I have to ignore the past, and continue life. So for now, I'll go with what I call "crushness". The girls who I like, just my type. Drum rolls. I find this girl at the dormitory which has same features like her (now, that's just a co-incidence, I don't want to like this girl for being similar to her) This girl is so pretty! She likes alternative music too, and slightly punk or emo rock. Wow! This girl has some sports too. Too bad I'm not good at any sport. I have learned that she's the roommate of someone I know from the girls. Sadly, she's linked to this guy from her high school, which I know of, and a lot of girls from the dorm really like this guy. Maybe because of the attitude and silent type, mysterious type thing.

Let's get back with the girl. She's just simple. Sabi nga noong friend ko, she's not pretty but she's cute. Uggh, what the F*%? This girl is oh so beautiful. Haha. Di ba Aleth? She's not taller than me, she's well smaller than me. Me likey. Haha. And she has this 'telling eyes'. Her smile's worth a million. Her hair's just shining. Wherever at the crowd, for me she stands out.

I like her, I like her but I don't have her number. Ugghhh..

Sportsfest Has Started

The Sportsfest has started. And boy, it was so fun! The preparations for the event is very enjoyble. Despite some inefficiencies from the Sports Committee, the people's enthusiasm and perseverance did not stop Kalay with enormous energy for the phenomenal outcome of the games.

Friday, it was scheduled that the Cheerdance competitions would be held at the Opening Ceremony. The teams are now all geared up for it, until one cheerdancer from the Dilawins got injured leading to cancelled Cheerdance competitions that day. It was replaced by an All-Star Basketball Game by the Dilawin/Asuldier vs. C3 Green Team/ Wads Up BA?. The crowd was on the edge of their seats. They were expecting that this fight would lead to the victory of the latter. They were the guys who usually practice in the court. All with their dripping dews of perspiration, they are slapped outright as the Dilawin-Asuldier combo with the lead of Felix came with a terrific play, overpowering the latter.

It was the evening that we did not expect a lot of things would happen. The Mr. and Ms. Sportsfest were introduced and of course again we are cheering. The battle of the cheers are so overwhelming. There's dobolyu, eidies, UP, biey biey! for wads up ba! Ah (clap 3x) sul (clap 3x) ger ger (clap 3x) for Asuldier. Go c3, go c3! go go go, imitating uste for the C3 Green Team... Dilawin did not have that phenomenal cheer, who cares anyway haha.

The event was done. We are so happy to see Renel, Niccolo, Abigail and Camille be stunningly great for the presentation. They're just awesome.

The teams get prepared for the cheerdance competitions and of course the Asuldier family of cheerdancers are really trying their best to finish and polish on time until... a Sports Com representative told to each team to stop practicing, and the Cheerdance competitions was delayed to December 5.

What the f*!? are they thinking? It's exams week that time. And all we had is our brains full of angst and the mood of the day turned really low. A lot were crying. Emotions are really getting ahead of the people. You won't see any people smiling. (well except me) haha.

The guys need this. The momentum of the events would come into a halt if it would be delayed till that day. But due to the leadership of Mcdo! Woo... go Mcdo. We insisted what we want.

One day before November 28, that's Monday, we knew it. The Sportscom won't facilitate any Cheerdance competition on Tuesday. That's why Mcdo and others facilitated and took cover for it. The stunning Cheerdance comepetitions was held on Tuesday. Successful. Unforgettable.

Here's an overview of the Cheerdance competitions.

Wads Up Ba. The team to beat. All the components of the cheerdance was used. Just that the impact of their steps did not really match up others. The excitement for it before was not seen in their dance that day. They were graceful and all, but it looked so unpolished.

C3 Green Team. The Green Team came up with just basic steps and small "funny" stunts. It did not match up the Red Team's though. The girls were graceful enough but the guys are uber-shame. The guys just played it and did not seem to take it seriously. Overall, it was alright with all the glitches but it was fun to see them.

Dilawin.The Yellow Team surprised us all, because this team really did not show their steps until last minutes. We are very happy of the outcome. Some of their phenomenal acts were their couple thing, that's cute. The stunts were executed gracefully and clean. Dilawin's cheerdance threatened all teams. It matched Wads Up BA's perf. And it's just a surprise. That time, if Asuldier won't pull a great perf, it's Yellow.

Asuldier.Here come's Asuldier with their fatigue blue shirts. The starting part was boring. if it weren't for the cheers, it won' get noticed. Not that bad, but so simple. But all after that, it's all fine. The dancers were graceful, snappy, they executed all their moves nicely. The stunts are very promising. The girls did awesome covering up for some glitches of the boys. The phenomenal part was the double pendulum stunt, there are a lot of stunts that are good. Especially their Uh-uh part. And it was all clean and smooth. The Asuldier did not just match up all other team's perf but outlasted and outwitted all of them.

Conclusion: It is just rightful for the Asuldier to cop the win. It's plain obvious. No personal bias.

Sigaw Releases its First Issue

Well, it has been a rollercoaster for the Sigaw Staff for the past few months, it 's because the issue we have finished since mid September have not been posted the last week before the semestral break.

However, two weeks after we came back from the vacation. We had just satisfied ourselves. Our first issue's out. And don't look at the pictures... we're fat... we know... haha... Okay...

That's it for Sigaw. Update is that we're doing some literary works hoping to come out on January possibly.

Our plan is to have our second issue released on December, and the yearbook on March, I think we'd be included on the Publicity Commitee of the yearbook.

Pila Moments: Enrollment in UP Sucks!

When shall we have this system changed? When shall the ease of enrolling be implemented to students of UP? What is CRS for if not all subjects would be granted to you? Why should we all suffer first before suffering for another?

The truth is we are getting tired, and impatient with all of these stressful situations. It is more than physical pain, it's psychologically and emotionally affecting people too.

But enough of the complaints, after all I got enrolled. I'm shoo-in. I did not go to any assessment thing anymore. But the pre-advising is so annoying. Also the post advising part. That guy in Engineering is so annoying. Get it?

Well, of course I have to present my class cards first.
Let me see.

English 1, I got a 4.0 in the Finals that's why she gave me 3.0.
Math 17, you already know this I got 4.0, and I passeed the removals. 3.0 another.
Geography 1, relatively easy subject. 1.0 ako diyan. Enjoy! ^_^
Kasaysayan 1, ginapang ko ang subject na ito. Imagine, nine reaction papers? 1.75
Biology 1, haha, akala ko 2.75 ako. Tinaasan ata. 2.5, go Ma'am Amff..
Scrabble.. 1.25...

Haha, ayun...

Tapos, here's my schedule for the second semester..

I have to wake up early for this freaky Mathematics 53 class. It's scheduled 8:30- 9:45. The professor is kinda annoying too. He gets confused with all of he's teaching, take note, the entire class knows he doesn't know what he's doing. The wrath to give a 50 point 5 itemed quiz.

Chemistry 16 lecture class is pretty interesting. I like how the discussion is going. I can relate naman so far. Its really fun to be in this class. It's scheduled at Tuesdays and Fridays 10-11:30.

Chemistry 16 laboratory class is the schedule-breaker subject. I like the teacher for she tackles all the things needed to be tackled about. The discussion is fine as of now, experiments, uhmm, ayus. The down low is the problem sets. Don't get me started with this, I'll just curse over and over again.

Physics 71 lecture is quite funny. Haha. The teacher is so pretty. Haha. She smiles a lot on the things she's confused with. Haha. The subjects quite easy. Enjoy. The problem sets are fine. The recitation quizzes are 'curse-ive'.

Physics 71 laboratory is the most interesting one. I just curse its slow pacing. The quizzes are bonus! ^_^

Humanidades 1, another subject which I like. The discussion is alive. Something I can truly relate. It's literature plus history so it might not bother me that much.

That's it for now.

Sembreak: It's More Stressful Than What You Think

That semestral break was never a break. Well, yep, for one week. I was very busy closing things up with this Math 17 thing. It was a pain in the ass. Just to pass it, you need to sacrifice all of your free times.

Well, October 16, I was off to Olongapo knowing, confidently, I passed the Finals, nudginf me up to a chance of 3.0 or even a 2.75. The next day, the seventeenth, I received an e-mail from Ma'am Mia Rosales, my professor, and she sent me a really bad news. My grade is 4.0. On probation, that means I have to take the removal exams and get a 60% to pass the subject.

I went back to Manila one day before the exam, I was very disappointed. I reviewed and studied so much so that I'd pass the exam. What's more dismaying is my grade. It's just 0.63% away from the passing mark. I went to her office, I want her to check my exams. I found something on my fifth exam. That gives me 59.93%, just 0.07% out of passing. I gave her my Midterms, I am craving for even half a point. It would satisfy the grade of 60 after all. But no, she insisted that I take the removals.

No more chance, I had to take the exam. And it's only about ten minutes to go. After all the exhaustion, smokes and all I have inhaled, it's examination time.

Drum rolls. The test was over. I am uber satisfied with what and how I performed. Hello! This is crucial for me, I had a scholarship and I have to get a 2.75 and no 5.0 mark. Okay?

That's it, and there came a week. My professor e-mailed me. This time it's a good news. It's a relief that after all the stress and misfortunes, is a precious mark of 3.0. ...whew...

New Semester Begins

Last semester was a blast. It slowly swooshed away. I went back to the memory lane remembering what was it the first time I stepped UP Diliman. It was overwhelming. The urge of excitement filled my cold body then. It was thrilling to see co-freshies there, some familiar faces from my place and some things that are true blue tatak UP.

I first walked in UP with no knowledge about it, just that I'll go here in college. I'll conquer UP, I'll pass, I'll graduate here. Now, it seems like its natural and common. There's nothing new to it. Being here for four months, well, it's kinda boring. Freaky thing is I survived.

Well, last semester was just fun, in Kalay, in my organization, UPDOSTSA. I learned a lot, not only in my subjects but all the things that composes life. The things that can't be learned inside the rooms here in UP are just plain justifications of its diversity and cultural difference.

UP is often said as the microcosm of the country, it is true, the mix of ideas (not only ideas but great ideas) and the synergy of culture, and beliefs. I only have half a year to be a freshie. Only half a year to prove myself I can go further. Only one semester to get higher grades. Only one semester to patch things up with people I have hurt, or have hurt me. This is just the beginning. But why is the beginning the most critical point of this college life?

Might I just say because the possibilities in the ending starts from small beginnings. The starting point reflects how you have endured your life. It's like a race track. If you see yourself far away from the start, then you're doing well. If you see yourself still near what was you at that point, you're not improving. In the race track, we tend to get out of our lanes and leagues. We might have done some mistakes but what's important is that we're moving on.

Life is cruel. Life is fun. It just depends on how we see life actually. It's all about how you perceive life. Be positive. Live life. After all, no one has come out of it alive.
