Teen Money Making

On having a new blog content

2009-03-29T01:48:00.002+08:00

I have been very much exposed to money-making through blogging that I have decided to make this old blog of mine, a blog that is solely focused on how we teenagers can make money online. I have been very much inspired by Carl Ocab's blog that I decided to take blogging up to a higher level.

As many of you have known, this blog was solely for my personal life. This blog became my online journal for about 4 years now. Along with my multiply account, I have been posting a lot of ramblings and rants about being a teenager, about being a student, and anything under the heat of the sun. And so, after much discernment and after a period of learning--which I am still doing-- I decided to make this blog a blog about how to earn money online.

I will still keep my old posts here as these posts have already become part of my life and history. I will still keep posting my rants and ramblings in my multiply account which you can add by clicking this kimthef. I will post all my personal rants there as well as pictures of random events that have happened or will still happen in my life.

As for the people who I have ex-linked before and have been consistently following this blog, I ask that you renew my link as I will be having my own domain soon. You can still ex-link me but be sure to ask my permission first. And another thing, if you're still active as a blogger, send me a comment so that I can add you to my new roster of links.

As of now, I'm still getting hold of the make-money-through-blogs thing. I'm still on the process of learning and hopefully, after a few months, I will get a hold of everything and I will also have some cash. :D

Just Updatin'...

Hala! At biglang nabuhay and adik! Hehe. Well, I'm just passin' by to give off a few rants and raves. Wala lang. Nakaka-miss lang talagang mag-rant sa Multiply. Hehe.

Anyways, March na! Oh noooohhh! 2 weeks to go before the 2nd semester ends and yeah! Busy and sleepless nights are here to come! Gah! Ang dami dami pang requirements na kailangan tapusin and exams and quizzes are gonna pile up till the semester finally ends. Shux! Kaya rin siguro naisipan kong mag-update is because magiging busy na naman life ko. Hmmmm. In the first place, why ami I wasting my time blogging?! I should be reseraching for our Filipino concept paper right now. Nah! Who cares if I procrastinate again. Hehe.

Anyways, lapit na mag-end ang Freshman life ko. tsk. EMO! corny. hehehe. wala lang. This will be the end of slightly busy days kasi I know, starting next semester, mas magiging busy na ako. Like hello, majors will begin next semester. In my 2nd year in the IS major in Asian Studies program, tsk! Pang-preparation lang itong first year. Hopefully, I'll be having good grades this semester and hopefully, maging DL na rin for the first time. Nangarap! hehehe.

That would be all for now. I'll try to update again next time when I will have the time to procrastinate again. hehe.

Out of Randomness...

2009-01-19T06:23:00.000+08:00

I'm actually bored. Hahaiz. I'm here at the Interent Lab of the University doing nothing but checking countless sites and videos. Tsk. I wish I could just go home and sleep. It's just so boring in here.

Anyways, this post is my recent update in all my blogs. Dang! My last update was like last new year. I decided to update because I just want to rant anything that's on my mind out of randomness. Hmmm. Seems like I'll be updating often from now on. I missed updating and blogging. Ows? Hehe.

Anyhoo, I've been addicted to Korean Ppop lately. This started last Christmas Break when we had our new desktop. I just couldn't stop looking and downloading new and hot songs! AHHHH! I've been invaded by Korean Pop and entertainment. Tsk. This one's a new hobby that I'll be addicted for a while. I just couldn't stop myself from listening. Some of you had known me as the Korean drama and movie addict. And now, I'm officially a KPop addict! AHHHH!

This one will be my last rant for this post. And here it goes...

I WANT A MACBOOK! AHHHHH! I JUST COULN'T RESIST A MACBOOK ON SCREEN! I WANT TO HAVE IT. AHHHH! OH PLEASE LORD, GRANT ME MY PRAYER.

So I'll be leaving you with that wish.

2008 Year-Ender Blog Post

2008-12-31T11:58:00.001+08:00

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

-Charles Darwin

Another Year is going to end. Another period of my life will be finishing its final pages hours from now. Another experience of my life will be remembered and treasured in the depths of my heart. This year-ender post will be the Chronicle of what has happened and what I wish to happen as the new year dawns hour from now. This post, will also be my update for my blogs for I have been dead in the cyber world for 2 months now. And I might as well warn you guyz that this will be a very long post.

2008 has been, quite a good year for me. There have been immeasurable events that have occurred in the course of the 12 months of this year. Let's start from January of this year, where this chapter have begun. January 2008, was a period of business, upcoming deadlines, and deadly preparations. I was on my last few months in my High School life since I was supposed to graduate March of this year. And so I started this year with a lot of things on hand. There were a lot of stressful points that occurred in this month, but luckily, I surpassed all of them and survived them altogether. Despite the stress, I was able to dig deeper on myself since it was on this month that our section- Carnelian- had our retreat. I mostly enjoyed the retreat for it was kind of rejuvenating and stress-releasing at the same time. January in general, was a good month to start the year right.

Then came February. And again, I was faced with numerous deadlines, deadly quizzes and exams, and upcoming goodbyes. Then again, as to how my year started, February became even more stressful than January because our graduation is fast approaching and we have to kill the deadlines before we even step out in our dearly beloved Alma Mater- Stella Maris Academy of Davao. But nevertheless, I kicked off all the stress and killed all the deadlines on time. February was also a fun year yet sad for our batch partied out in our Senior Prom. The prom was really great from the music to the food to the people. I was even nominated twice for the same category! Hmmmm! Fishy! Hehe. Anyways, despite the fun, we felt sadness as the prom closes to its final moments since we know that the end of the prom will be the beginning of saying goodbyes to our fellow seniors and even to our junior friends. This month ended sad because we senior have to start facing the reality that we will be leaving for what have been our home for a very long time. Emotional as it may seem, but we senior stood beyond all sadness and still have smiles on our faces.

And here comes March. Because graduation is only weeks to go, we senior literally had to burn our brows in studying for us to pass all our final exams. Fortunately, all of us did well and we passed all of our exams. The month of March also meant a very great thing for me and my barkada-BAKAK- since we celebrated our First Anniversary together as a barkada. We celebrated our First Anniversary with a decent dinner and of course, a party session at the Urban Club. Generally, we celebrated our First as a barkada together in the right way, hoping that there will be more Anniversaries to come in our ways despite the separation that will occur after our graduation. And of course, I will not forget the day of my birth which I celebrated with my family on March 23rd. I had fun celebrating my simple birthday and I hope that my future birthdays will be super duper fun! The month of March, after all the tiresome academic responsibilities, we seniors had to deal with a new responsibility, practicing and preparing for our graduation. We really had a very short time to practice everything out especially the Graduation song that our section composed. But we pulled everything off and I may say that we had a successful graduation together. After dealing with all of these things, some of us seniors- The Marisian Yearbook staff- had another big responsibilty on our hands for we have to finish all the dummies needed for our batch's yearbook. We staffers, especially us the Layout editors, had to work in a very limited time. But fortunately, we finished everything on time and we hope that the result will be fruitful and beautiful. So we bade eacj other our goodbyes in this month. We had to finally leave our dear school to set forth to a new direction in life. This month may be sad, but it will surely be remembered deep in my heart.

Then comes the month of April. This month only have minimal events since this was a month of rest, rest, and more rest from all the stress we had in our last few months in High School. But one significant event that happened in this month is my decision on where to enroll in college. I was accepted and was supposed to wait for the enrollment in UP- Mindanao. But then I realized a lot of things and turned down the opportunity to become a Skolar-ng-Bayan. I then decided to tkae up the course AB- International Studies major in Asian Studies in the Ateneo de Davao University, of which I am on my 2nd semester in first year. I had to consider a lot of things before finally deciding on where to have my college years. Luckily, I made the decision right on time and I may say that I am proud amd happy of what I decided.

Like April, the month of May had minimal events. But one significant event that happened in this month was our family vacation in Baguio City and in Manila. This was our vacation together after a very long time. Together we enjoyed our vacation and spent bonding moments together. This vacation will surely be remembered in my heart. The month of May was also the month of my enrollment in the Ateneo de Davao University. The enrollment process was a bit of tiresome but luckily, my friends Marielle and Ranelie were there to help me with through the different steps. And I was ready to be a college student and I was hoping that my decision, to turn down UP-Min is right.

And so the month of June graced my year as the beginning of a new journey embarked on the 10th day of June. It was my first day as a college student. After the 2 day orientation on the 2nd-3rd of June, I was prepped for the beginning of my college life. My first year in college started out fine and I was driven to do more and to achieve more. But what I didn't expect was the fact that college is way harder than what I have thought. Tasks were 5x harder than I used to think when I was still in high school. The feeling was like I was poured with very hot water that didn't seem to subside until now. Fortunately, I survived my first month in college.

July to October seemed a little stressful for me. My first semester in college was very hard and challenging. I was still on the process of adapting to my new environment. Everything is just so new to me and also to my new classmates. Hard tasks, assignments, exams, projects, and a lot went on and on as the first semester progressed. I had to juggle my time efficiently and use available resources to conquer all the challenges laid out on me. I even experience a lot of firsts in my first semester in college. One of which is to have a failing grade in one of my subjects. I got a grade of 67 in my Math midterms. Talk about FAILED! I even haven't got a grade of 75 when I was in high school and now in college I get a 67! Oh my Effin' God! It was like devastating to me. But fortunately, I pulled my math grade off and got a grade of 77 in my finals. Hmmm. It's really my first time to get very low grades. Maybe because of my 2nd first, coming to school unprepared. Way back in high school, I really prepare for a day in school. Even though there are no quizzes or assignments, I still find time to review some things. But now, because of a lot of factors, I was left with nothing and I come to school without anything in mind. But luckily, I pulled everything off.

My first semester in college is not only pure academic sh*t. I got to enjoy a lot of new things too. First is the joy of having a college schedule. One doesn't need to be in school for the whole day. You can just go home if you have no class. It's not like in high school where you need to be in school the whole day. 2nd is the new activities that our University have. I experienced how the Ateneo fiesta is celebrated first hand. I enjoyed my first Ateneo fiesta and it got me driven to practice more and pursue more my passion in dancing because a lot of good dancers are dancing out during the fiesta. It was nice to have a fiesta the college way, which means boring during the day, and super super fun at night! 3rd, I also got to experience how to party out loud the college way. I spent a lot of time in a lot of bars in the first semester with my new classmates and as well as my barkada. That's maybe why I feel that I really got very naughty this year because I spent a lot of time partying. Hahaha. And I got more addicted to my vices and you don't need tp know what they are. Well if you don't know anything that I'm addicted to. Hehehe. I can say that I really enjoyed my first semester in college. It may not be the best first semester in a person's life, but it was fun, exciting, and fruitful for me.

After the first semester came my first semestral break in college. Like all my other firsts, my first sem break was a lot different from what it used to be in high school. First, I slept, and slept, and SLEPT all day during the sem break. I really wanted to rest from all the stress that the first semester gave me and firtunately, I was able to sleep away all the stress. Second, because I'm out from school work, I got to enjoy partying very much. Naughty, naughty, naughty. Hahaha! I partied ourt with my friends going home in the late hours of the day and receiving a very loud sermon from my mom. It was fun despite all the sermons. And third, I got to enjoy reading a saga in a very short while. My addiction to the Twilight Saga started during the first semester and it just got even more addictive as I turn the pages of the books. 2008 would have been incomplete without the Twilight Saga in my brain. Hahaha.

Every break has to end, and so the 2nd semester started out in November. Well, there aren't any much to talk about in November except of a few things. One, I had to adjust and adapt agian to my new schedule, new subjects, and new and HATEFUL teachers! Teachers in college are just so hard to please that you wish to have a different teacher. I'm just praying that I will have good grades in my preliminaries so as to have a good semester. Two, this was the month of the TWILIGHT MOVIE PREMIERE! Talk about major addiction. I watched the movie twice in the same mall but in a different cinema. I very much liked the movie despite the fact that it was kind of disappointing especially to us who have read the book. But due to my addiction, I didn't gave in to my disappointment. Instead, I got even more addicted. I even continued saving money to buy Twilight merchandise. It's really my first time to get addicted to a Saga worth to be addicted. Three, I don't know why, but this month was all about watching movies in the mall. Me and my friend Felip watched a new movie every week and I think that this will continue this 2009. I just become happy when I am able to watch a new movie in the mall.

And so comes the last month of the year, the one that we're all excited to celebrate, the month of Christmas, December. This month to me is full of realizations and at the same time, this month to me is a month of upcoming change. I was able to end my academic year right, surpassing all my Prelim exams and hoping that I will get good exam grades in all my subjects. I was able to party out with my 1R classmates in our Christmas Party. I wasn't able to complete the Misa de Gallo because of a very tight schedule but it lead to a promise of a lifetime, that I must complete the upcoming Misa de Gallos in the years to come. I was able to buy new things for me most especially clothes that will add up to my collection. I was able to experience what a very fast computer could do. I was able to be with my family and relatives in this month of love and peace. This month maybe had a lot of downturns, but this month lead me to a very confident self in facing the new year.

And so the year really had past. It's now the first of January in the year TWENTY-OH-OH-NINE. I wish that this year will be evn more fruitful to me and my family. And surely, I will imply great CHANGE and when I say CHANGE, a new and better KIM LORENZO G. CALATRAVA will emerge in this year. Let's have a HAPPY, PROSPEROUS, and FRUITFUL NEW YEAR! God bless us guyz!

DECODE!

So ok, I've been addicted to the Twilight Saga for quite some time already. It started with the first book which is Twilight, then to New Moon, then Eclipse, and lastly to Breaking Dawn. The story's just so gripping that you don't want to put down the book when you finish a chapter. You just want to continue and to continue. The Saga has this quality that it continues to amaze me and for all of us readers.

Due to my addiction, I've been attached to the upcoming movie also. The roles are just well chosen not to hide the fact that Kristen Stewart, the girl who's playing Bella Swan is extremely beautiful and elegant. And Robert Pattinson, the one who's playing Edward Cullen is perfect for his role. I've seen updates in The Twilight Saga site, Twilight Movie Site, and also Stephenie Meyer's site. The latest update I got is that the single to the movie twilight has just been released. It's entitled Decode by Paramore. I posted the song and the lyrics here. Hope you enjoy them.

How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
Can't win your losing fight all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
You wont take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood,
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out on my own

(I'm screaming "I love you so"
But my thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?
I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves

How did we get here?
I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
I think I know
I think I know
There is something that I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true

I can't wait for the movie to be released. I'm even more excited on the movie than on Christmas. And I really want to buy the future merchandises of the Saga. You can see them in the sites stated above. So, this has just been another addictive update. Till then. Happy twilighting guyz!

Seriously!

2008-10-15T21:41:00.003+08:00

So, again, after a very long time of hiatus--cause I think it has been almost a month since I posted--I'm again alive in the bloggoworld! Whew! I'm not lazy to post ayt? It's just that I'm busy for the past few months because of my adjustments to college life. And since the first semester is already over, my oh so long hibernation from posting is done.

So the first semester is over and I'm GLAD, and again GLAD and please capitalize the word GLAD because my first semester which I considered as my first HELL semester in college is already over! Whew! Talk about major adjustments and some major academic issues. There are a lot of things that happened and there are a lot of things I experienced first-hand in college.

To start, it's devastating to experience my first failure in a subject in my whole academic experience. I got a grade of 67 in my Math Midterms. Talk about major failure. I was so devastated when I received my grade from our math teacher. My prelim grade in math is 83 so the total rounds up to 75. I'm really really nervous because I don't want to repeat Math 111 which is College Algebra. Alright, I'm really not a math genius and never did I fell in love with math but I was sure that I can get over with it since I got over all my math subjects in high school. I'm actually giving half the blame to our teacher in math. He's just so fast in teaching and there was one lesson that he haven't discussed yet in our midterms period. So mainly, that's why I failed my midterms in math. I'm just praying very hard to have a passing mark in math. I don't give a damn if I get a 75. I just want to pass the subject.

It's also my first time to really cram for a certain quiz or test. So I did cram in high school but this time, it's major cramming! We don't have major subjects for this semester as well as for the second semester so all the subjects are just general subjects or the ones we call minors. So because we don't have majors to focus on, we are having a hard time in studying almost every subject. We don't know what subject to tackle first. But in the end, we all survived in the dreadful semester.

There are a lot of things that really happened during the first semester but the major things are stated above. I'm not gonna elaborate everything because this post might end up as a novelette. Talk about my addiction to literature. Hahahaha. So let's talk about what I'm up to this sem break. I'm into reading the third installment in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga. I'm now into Eclipse and hopefully by the end of my sem break, I'll finish Breaking Dawn too. I'm also into a lot of DVD marathons because there are a lot of series/shows that I want to finish. And of course, I will break from my blogging hiatus and post as many as I can this sem break.

I will visit all the blogs that I used to visit before my long hiatus and I promise you guyz that I'll be commenting. Happy sem break to me and happy blogging to all! :D

Ang Pagka-buhay ni Kim Calatrava sa bloggoworld!!!

2008-09-14T15:41:00.001+08:00

So I took 15 minutes of my precious time allocated for making my speech in FIL 1 and for me to study for our quiz in BIO 400 tomorrow. After a long time of hiatus, and please exaggerate HIATUS for me cause it's been really a while, REALLY been a while since I last shared my thoughts in both my Multiply and my Blogger. After what has been a hibernation from the Cyber World, I'm here again to share, rant, and probably talk about nothingness or probably everything that has been since my last appearance in here.

I've been quite busy (or am I just pretending to be busy-busy?!) for quite some time already. I am juggling my studies with my social life, my passion, my friends, and almost everything under the scorching heat of the sun. College life has never been this crazy as far as I can remember. The past three months of my first semester in college is quite a roller coaster ride for me. Getting low grades in my quizzes or tests, coming to school unprepared, reporting a topic that's really super hemorrhage, and of course partying so hard every Saturday that I forget that this is not summer where I can just go home anytime that I want. Well, I've been quite immune already in passing quizzes that is almost (I think nearly...) blank. Most especially in Math. It's just that I can't seem to get over with the lessons. Is it me or did I really learn nothing from my High School Math?! Reading the books from the Twilight Saga (MUST LOVE TWILIGHT!) by Stephenie Meyer is also keeping me busy for the past few weeks. I already have a copy of the first three books and I'm just waiting for the call of NBS for the last installment. Though I have quizzes or tests the following day, I make it a point that I read a chapter of SMs gripping Saga. TV has also been my companion when boredom or shall I say super boredom strikes me. There are a few shows that I'm addicted with. Most especially the British teen series NEARLY FAMOUS. I can relate with the characters and that's what makes a show appealing to me. I've been doing quite a lot lately and I really have to balance everything down most especially that I'm into the last grading of this semester. Well, I hope to do good in the last grading because my Midterms was quite a disaster. I improved in some subjects but I declined in most of my subjects. Well, I just pray that all my hopes for this first semester will be granted.

To those that frequently visit my Multiply or my blogger, sorry for the long pause guyz. I just can't seem to insert time for my rants. I'll visit your sites soon and I promise to give long comments. See ya around guyz and hopefully, I will continue to update, update and UPDATE!

Buhay Kolehiyo!!!

2008-07-27T17:31:00.000+08:00

It has been more than a month since my official college life started. Grabe ha, parang ngayon lang ata akong nagka-oras na mag-post! Huwaaaat??!! Tinatamad lang siguro ako chaka ayoko kasing madagdagan ang load ng gagawin ko for a day. Charing! hehehehe. anyways, college has been like a rollercoaster ride for me. Many things have happened and many things will still happen.

I don't know kung nabugok lang ako bigla o hindi pa lang talaga ako sanay sa college. College is super demanding kasi. The TEACHERS are demanding! Grabe, nagdali tanan tao sa college eh. It's a first for me to get low grades in quizzes and tests. CRAMWHORE kasi eh! Sorry. But I have learned my lesson. LEARNED?! Eh may Psychology prelim exam pa ako bukas eh tapos di pa ako nag-aaral. Kumusta na man yun?! Pero I will review and scan my notes later kasi I have studied na kasi last week kasi dapat last week pa yung test kaya lang tanga yung nag-photocopy kasi nakalimutan niya. Kumusta na man yun?! Hehehe. Anywho, I really have learned my lesson/ Hindi na uso ang "Bukas na lang." If I can do it now then do it. Diba? I was used to how I study in high school lang siguro na a period before a subject's quiz or test lang ako nagre-review. But that was when the quiz would only comprise 2-5 pages of our book. Ngayon, by chapters na ang quiz at di lang isa, aabot pa ng 3-5. Kulang na lang siguro kainin namin yung libro. hehehehe. Ganito lang nga siguro ang college, hectic, nakapapagod, at biglang nagiging NERD and mga tao dahil pumupunta na ng library tulad ko! Wa!

But college is not only hectic and tiring, the fun you experience is way better in high school. FREEDOM is really expressed. Bahala ka kung gusto mong pahabain yung buhok mo hanggang Zimbabwe or kung ang damit pa ay 19-kalawang pa. People will not care, but of course there will be eyes that will pierce you because of how you look. AdDU kasi eh. "Ang Dili Datu Uli!" So most of the people are becoming sosyaleras and sosyaleros. But it's part of the fun in college. You get to see different types of people. Nakatutuwa pag tumatambay kami sa foodcourt ng AdDU kasi samu't-saring mga tao ang nakikita mo. And I'm prud to say that I'm part of the wild population of Ateneo de Davao.

There are still things that will come and I need to prepare for them. Lalo pa't Midterms are now on it's way. And it's like 2 months and a half more to go before this sem will end. Pero hindi ko minamadali ang lahat. Sayang ang experience ng first sem of my college life. Ito pa naman yung una. Hehehe. Siguro kung wala akong mga kaklaseng kasing baliw ng mga kaklase ko ngayon, my first sem will be boring. But luckily, I have classmates, friends, and my barkada to accompany me in this journey of learnings and fun. So till here na lang muna friends. STUDY HARD AND PARTY HARDER COLLEGE STUDENTS!

P.S. AdDU FRESHMEN, VOTE MAU VILLAMOR FOR FIRST YEAR REP!

College Here I Come!

2008-05-27T17:13:00.000+08:00

First of, I want to ask for forgiveness for how perky the title is. Haha. It sounds a lil bit pambata kasi. Hehe. Second, this post is purely about the thought of becoming a college student in barely 2 weeks. Whew! Klase na naman. Papagurin na naman ako ng mga teachers/profs ko. hmmmm. Profs ba tawag sa mga teachers sa AdDU? hehehe.

Until now, I still can't get over with the fact that I am now an official college student. Though I officially enrolled in my University weeks ago and though I was in the campus many times already, it still doesn't sink within me the truth. Well mainly beacuse I can't get over leaving High School behind. High School so far was the best part of my learning years kasi. I just hope na mapapantayan yun ng college life ko. I know eventually it will with the help of some academic and extra curricular activities that I will be involved in. And of course, nothing will beat the greatness of the bonding with new friends. Though I miss my HS friends. Hahai. I think it's time to let go of HS and to grasp college at hand already. 2 weeks will become short when we don't take mind of it. So most probably, I must think college-way already by now.

Grabe, 2 weeks na lang talaga. Mabuti nga kasi 2 weeks pa kasi some schools already have started. Sana lang on the first week of my college life, wala masyadong heavy tasks to be done. Kakapagod kaya. Hehe. And I'm also glad that our first day will start on a Tuesday. 9:15 kasi first class ko. Hehe. Well, good luck to all of us college freshmen as well as those who are already in college. We can do this guyz! Have a pleasant school/academic year ahead ya'll!

David Cook Triumphs Over David Archuleta!

2008-05-22T07:15:00.001+08:00

I didn't know that QTV or Star World will air the Finale early so as usual I woke up late. But when I received a text message from my friend that Idol is on air, I rushed to our TV and watched the remaining parts. Fortunately, as I turned on the TV, Ryan Seacrest said 'Watch out as we unveil the new American Idol nex', so I was right on time. And so, Ryan said, 'After 12 million votes, the American Idol 2008 is David...COOK!' I was really really happy! Because at that time, I thought Archuleta would win. But my feeling was wrong. DC has really a lot of fans that the younger David. So for the first time, my bet for American Idol really won!

Here's the news about the Finale from Yahoo! News:

Grown-up rocker David Cook has triumphed over smooth-voiced teen David Archuleta to become the new "American Idol."

While Archuleta was heaped with praise by the judges the night before, the voters decided otherwise -- and it wasn't even close. Host Ryan Seacrest said during Wednesday's show that 12 million votes was the difference.

Cook was overcome by emotion, bending toward the stage after his name was announced.

"This is amazing," he said. "This is all your fault," he added, addressing the brother who Cook had accompanied to the "Idol" audition that started it all.

Cook immediately took the microphone and began to sing "Time of my Life," which won the annual "Idol songwriting competition."

Congrats to David Cook! And to David Archuleta too! I know both of them will shine the music industry! So guyz, prepare for more downloading of their songs!

Elated Much!

I'm back to blogging na! Yey me! hehe. I haven't found time for blogging kasi when we came back from our vacation because I was too much preoccupied watching a lot of DVDs. To include in my list are the 4th season of Project Runway, Smallville, and in the net, Gossip Girl. But gladly, I am free as of the moment so I will update my precious blog. hehehe.

We just came back from our Baguio/Manila trip last Monday. I was expecting to arrive in Davao at around 9 but hell all the flights of Cebu Pacific at that time were all delayed! Like our flight was delayed for about 2 hours! Gawwd! So basically, we arrived in Davao at around 10:30 in the evening! Gosh! Talk about boredom inside the pre-departure area of the Manila Domestic Airport. But I 'm still happy that we are in our home already. Nothing beats the aura of our own homes I guess. But I had so much fun in Baguio! Especially that I enjoyed their weather. Well, it'll be a long time again before I can visit Baguio again. I also had fun in Manila. It's really the p;lace to be when you want to really really shop til you drop! But only if you have money. lol! I'll be posting the pix of our mini-vacation in multiply later.

After the day that we arrived in Davao, I decided to officially enroll myself in my soon to be University, the Ateneo de Davao University. I was so glad that Maye and Ranelie were there during my enrollment for moral support and to guide me through the enrollment process since they have already enrolled a week before me. lol. WI was in AdDU at around 9 in the morning. Ran and Maye followed after. After hours of filling up forms, interviews, walking, standing, and waiting, I'm now officially an ATENISTA! And I'm very super happy!

Well I belong to 1R with the course AB International Studies major in Asian Studies. So here's my schedule for the first semester of school year 2008-2009:

2:35-3:35- PSY 111: General Psychology

Basically all my subjects for the first semester of my first year in college are all General Subjects. I'll be taking up General Subjects until the summer before I get to 2nd year. I will take General International Studies subjects during the first semester of my 2nd year. And my majors, which are the Asian Studies subjects will start on the 2nd semester of my 2nd year. I'm quite pleased with my schedule this semester. It's not that great, but I get to enjoy some days alternately. Just understand my schedule and you'll know when I will be happy and happy happy. I just hope that I will have good and fun teachers and that my first semester in college would be a lot of fun! I'm also happy that I have a former classmate whom will still be my classmate in my first semester in college. I just hope that we don't clash because we're two beings of greatness! hehe. I'll see you soon Gabo!

So far I'm still enjoying my last vacation before I get to college, because as my interviewer told me, I must make the most of this last summer before college because I'll never get to enjoy this kind of summer when my University life will start. He's so true and as of the moment, I'm finishing all the DVDs that I have! lol! School will officially start on the 9th of June. But I'll be having my Math Diagnostic Test, sort of an entrance test for math in AdDU since the Admissions Test were all of the Verbal and Non-Verbal forms, this coming 20th of May. Review? Boring! hehe. I just pray that I will pass the test because as what my interviewer told me, if I will fail the Math DT, my General Math Subject will become 5 units instead of 3 so I better pass the DT. And I'll be in the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) orientation this 2nd and 3rd of June. So basically, my University life will begin in less than a month I think. I just want to enjoy this summer so that I'll be prepared when I get to college.

I'm pretty much elated now that my University life is nearing and alos because of the fun-filled summer vacation moments I had with my family. Let's all make the most out of this summer guyz!

Random Ramblings...

2008-04-29T20:55:00.002+08:00

As the title suggests, this post is about my random ramblings as of the moment. This post does not have a certain topic to be tackled. haha.

For my first rambling, I just received the Notice of Acceptance from the Ateneo de Davao University hours ago. It's the letter that certifies that I passed their Admissions Test and that I must fulfill the necessary requirements needed for enrollment. My enrollment will take place next week on May 6 since we will have a family-Baguio/Manila trip. Nice! hehe. So my being a pure blooded 'ATENISTA' will take place next week. Pure blooded since my mom, my aunt, my big brother, and my uncle took courses in AdDU. A family of Ateneas I think.

Second Rambling, I will be away from the computer starting tomorrow until half of Monday since we will go to Baguio. But if I could find a way to visit the cyberspace, I will still update. I'm so excited about our trip! After a long period of waiting, we will again have a family vacation trip and what's more fun is this will be the first vacation with my 'lil sister. As I can remember, our first vacation took place when I was still 4 years old. So probably, this will be another first and another fun vacation.

Third Rambling, I only have 41 days to go before I officially start my college life. AdDU's first day of classes will take place on the 9th of June kasi. I'm quite excited because I'm really part of the college/university world by then but more or less, I'm still not prepared. College is a different world na kaya. But I know I will still do good. Sana nga eh ma-DL ako sa first sem palang sa pagiging first year ko. I hope. hehehe. Sana rin classmate ko friends ko from Stella. I wish we will all belong to 1-S3. It's the section of Felip kasi. My friend who also is an International Studies Student. I wish we will belong to s3. *prays and wishes*

Fourth Rambling, I'm really starting to become an advocate of global warming. I want that global warming will come to a halt already. It's just that some people still doesn't know anything about our present condition. We must do something to stop global warming, if we still want to live that is. It's for us and for the next generations to come. So please, let us spread the word, 'STOP GLOBAL WARMING!'

Fifth Rambling, I have not been blogging the past days due to my addiction to some Asian Dramas. Actually there are lots of dramas that I still need to finish. hehe. Addict much! And I'm still waiting for the rest of the episodes of Gossip Girl. And I also want to buy season 2 and 3 of Heroes and Prison Break respectively. And I wanna start my official Smallville marathon. Crap! I want to watch many series but then again my vacation days are numbered. hahay. More marathons will come up I think after my enrollment in AdDU. hehe.

So that would be it for my random ramblings as of the moment. I will still keep in touch when we will be on our vacation. Have a happy summer guyz! Take lotsa care! :D

Handwriting Much!

2008-04-20T19:54:00.000+08:00

I was curious about Renz's latest multiply post that I decided to try it myself. And I can say, that the analysis is really accurate! I was even shocked to know that my cursive handwriting really portrays what kind of person I really am. Curious much? try it for yourself. http://handwritingwizard.com

Welcome Kim Lorenzo Calatrava, here is your handwriting analysis.

Kim Lorenzo uses judgment to make decisions. He is ruled by his head, not his heart. He is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see him as unemotional. He does have emotions but has no need to express them. He is withdrawn into himself and enjoys being alone.

The circumstances when Kim Lorenzo does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets him mad enough to tell him off, he will not be sorry about it later. He puts a mark in his mind when someone angers him. He keeps track of these marks and when he hits that last mark he will let them know they have gone too far. He is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All his conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. He is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, he has poise.

Kim Lorenzo will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. He would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, he will show his love by the things he does rather than by the things he says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because he feels his mate should already know. The only exception to this is if he has logically concluded that it is best for his mate to hear him express his love verbally.

Kim Lorenzo is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to him, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of his sound judgment. He will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. He will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and he will always ask "Is this best for me?"

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Kim Lorenzo doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Kim Lorenzo will demand respect and will expect others to treat him with honor and dignity. Kim Lorenzo believes in his ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. He has a lot of pride.

Kim Lorenzo is secretive. He has secrets which he does not wish to share with others. He intentionally conceals things about himself. He has a private side that he intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in his past.

In reference to Kim Lorenzo's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Kim Lorenzo slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project.

He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Kim Lorenzo can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Kim Lorenzo is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. He needs to visualize the end of a project before he starts. he finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said he plans everything he is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Kim Lorenzo basically feels good about himself. He has a positive self-esteem which contributes to his success. He feels he has the ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to. However, he sets his goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". He has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, he will not take great risks, as they relate to his goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, his self-perception is better than average.

Kim Lorenzo has a tendency to put things off, Kim Lorenzo procrastinates. He sometimes pretends to be busy, so he will not have to do whatever he is putting off. He is often late to appointments or deadlines. This usually leads to a great amount of effort at the last minute to meet the deadline. Procrastination is an important factor as it relates to his output on the job or at school. Remember, Kim Lorenzo will put it off until later. Procrastination is easily overcome through a simple stroke adjustment in the handwriting.

Kim Lorenzo exaggerates about everything that has a physical nature. Although he may not intend to deceive or mislead, he blows things way out of proportion because that is the way he views them. He will be a good story teller. This exaggeration relates to all areas of his material world. Kim Lorenzo allows many people into his life because he is accepting and trusting. He is sometimes called gullible by his friends. That only really means that he trusts too many people. Kim Lorenzo has a vivid imagination.

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Kim Lorenzo has left some white space on the left side of the paper. Kim Lorenzo fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion moving the entire writing rightward as he moves down the page. If this is true, then Kim Lorenzo has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Kim Lorenzo is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Kim Lorenzo is leaving the past behind and moving on to what he perceives as an exciting and enticing future.

Guess I'll not be an 'ISKO' after all...

2008-04-19T18:17:00.003+08:00

Grabe! For almost a week, I have been away from my PC because the monitor broke down. After a long period of suffering, our old PC's monitor retired. -sabaw!- Fortunately, just hours ago my Mumsy purchased a new monitor for us to ease our boredom. I could have died without spending time in the PC! Well, I have been spending time with my other 'summer best friend'... the DVD player. -sabaw!- Now, my blogging and all the things that I have been doing in our PC is back to normal.

Well let's move on to the main topic to be discussed in this post. I have been thinking for a long period of time. I'm thinking of the things that might happen to me in the future. I have been doing a lot of discerning lately. Not to mention that I have been doing a lot of career cruising for the past few days. It's tiring but I know it will all be worth it.

I have already decided to decline my confirmation to enroll in UP Mindanao in the course BS Biology. I have to say sorry to Renzy, Ate Gagay, July, and to all who believed that I will really have my college years in UPMin. But my decision is already final. I have been looking at my NCAE/CSAT results again and again discerning on what really is the course and career for me. The numbers really don't lie. Stated in my results, I show a big advantage when it comes to Language Proficiency and Reading Comprehension. I averaged only in Science and Mathematics. I know I have been telling all of you my dream of becoming a good doctor... a famous doctor. Though I really have big dreams and goals towards it, I have realized that it's really not for me. Had I decided to study at UPMin, I can still manage to have good grades and then to continue to medicine. But then again, I'm really not born to be a doctor (I think?!). An it's not where I'm good at. So the thought of enrolling in the Ateneo de Davao University came to my mind. And yeah it's already final. I'm going to the study at the Ateneo de Davao University in the course AB International Studies major in Asian Studies. So I think, I'll not call myself an 'ISKO' anymore. But 'ATENISTA' would be much appropriate.

My passion for travelling will now be bigger since travelling will then be an important part in my course in AdDU. Even though I haven't travelled before. But the chances of travelling to Korea or Japan will be higher with my course. Although at first, I wanted to take up AB Mass Communications. So another career crusing and discrenment was done. So I came up with the decision to take up AB International Studies.I'm happy with the decision that I have made. Fortunately, the sudden change of mind arised before it will all be too late because college enrollments is on-going in AdDU and also in UPMin. I'm really a late bloomer when it comes to decisions I guess. But I know that the decision that I have made will make me happier nad happier.

So, I have changed plans. But having bigger dreams and aspirations never cease my mind. I'm thinking of working in the embassy after graduation. Or, I have the choice whether to go to Law School or not. Then again, it's still my choice. Well, it seems that the Calatrava-Gonzales clan will not have it's first doctor. Another addition to the family of lawyers is more appropriate I guess. But who knows, as I have been saying agian and again in some of my posts, the future is so vague for us to see. God only knows what will happen next to our lives. So, therefore, I leave everything to Him. "THY WILL BE DONE."

Hibernate Much!

2008-04-10T11:52:00.006+08:00

For the past few days of my summer vacation, I've been really hibernating! To hibernate is to sleep, watch tv, sleep, watch dvds, sleep, surf the net, sleep, eat, sleep, chatting, sleep, texting, sleep, frequent visits to the mall, and more sleep! hahaha! lol.

This summer's really a rest period for me! It's a gift to me from all the sufferings and hardships I have experienced the past school year. And I'm really happy to have such rest period. Kasi feel ko when I get to college, the rest period will lessen. So susulitin ko na ang mahabang rest period ko!

Well, as you can see I'm into tv shows lately. These shows make me busy. Busy?! lol! haha. Well, I just enjoy watching tv shows during the summer whether it's on TV or if its on a dvd. So here are some of the shows I'm addicted to.

Korean Drama- The Snow Queen

Korean Drama- Lovers

Gossip Girl

Grey's Anatomy

House M.D.

PBB Teen Edition Plus

American Idol Season 7

Prison Break

So there you have it. The shows that I am currently addicted to and maybe will still be addicted in the future. lol. hahaha. There are still many shows that I am hooked to this summer. I just mentioned the ones that are really on top of my list. I'll continue my tv/dvd marathon later after I finish this post. :D

Y'all have a fun-filled summer vacation guyz! :D

Graduate na po ako...

2008-04-01T22:48:00.003+08:00

Last March 29, 2008 was the 41st Commencement Exercises of the Stella Maris Academy of Davao and I'm proud to say that I am one of the graduates for the school year 2007-2008. I'm super duper happy for my graduation day. Pero sad rin ako cause I'll be leaving friends behind na. Pero friends forever pa rin. Life must go on and so we must take the course on which our lives are leading too.

Wag niyo na pansinin yung picture. Baka kasi mag-melt. hahaha. lol. I'm super duper happy that I graduated as one of the merit awardees in our batch. As I mentioned on my earlier posts, the merit award is given to the graduating students in our school in recognition for having consistently attained high scholastic ratings qualifying him/her as a candidate for honors. Kung baga, ang mga merit awardees ang mga top students in the graduating batch. Just a correction, I'm the 26th merit meaning I'm the top 33rd person in our batch kasi mali yung nasa older post ko. To add more happiness to my graduation day, I also received three special awards: Best Performance in Acting, Best Performance in Dancing, and Best in Public Speaking. I'm super happy kasi all the hardwork paid off just for me to improve my academic standing and also to improve my talents. Sobrang happy talag ako kasi I graduated with honors. It's such a big pride to me and my family.

Surely the graduation day was filled with happiness and sadness. Ang hirap kaya magsabi ng bye bye sa mga kaibigan mong ang tagal mong nakasama. Sabi ko nga kanina, life must go on. So, here I come COLLEGE! Excited na ninenerbiyos ako for college. Excited kasi sa UP Mindanao ako mag-aaral. Ninenerbiyos kasi sa UP Mindanao ako mag-aaral! At BS Biology pa ang course ko! Talk about bloodshed. Well, sa tingin ko naman makakayanan ko. Dapat lang talaga mas maging diligent ako when it comes to my studies kasi nung high school ako, super tamad akong mag-aral! Well kailangan ko nang simulang mag-bagong buhay para makamit ko ang dream ko na maging doctor. Talk about 9 years of studying. Kaya yan! Kung kinaya ng iba, ba't di ko kakayanain diba. I just need to believe in myself and to do well in everything that I will do.

I'm actually spending my summer vacation na and so far my vacation is filled with dvd marathons, a little laag, dvd marathons, dance workshop, dvd marathons, net, dvd marathons, text2, dvd marathons, chat and more dvd marathons! Feel ko nga bibigay na yung isa naming player eh. hahaha. Well, I'm just relaxing and resting kasi super bloodshed na life ko sa UP and I just counted kanina na I have only 70 days to go before the start of my classes sa UP Min. At talagang binilang ha! hehehe. My classes will start on June 10 so I really have to make the most out of the remaining 70 days! hehehe.

Y'ALL HAVE A HAPPY AND FUN-FILLED SUMMER GUYS! :D

Seven Weird Things About Me...

2008-03-19T20:55:00.004+08:00

Thanks to Renzy for the tag!!!

"SEVEN WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME"

Here Are The Rules:

1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person that tagged you.
2. Post THE RULES on your blog.
3. Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 people and link to them.
5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

1. I share with Renzy's number two and this I thinks is the most unusual for me. On normal days especially during summer, I sleep up to 15 hours a day. It's like my body is adjusted to a different timeline from where I am now. It's like I'm used to the London time or whatnot. It's just that I love to sleep! lol.

2. Physically, I am thin! So thin. I even look like a barbecue sticj because I'm thin and tall. But even though I'm thin, my appetite is really humongous. Most especially if I'm eating my favorite dishes and foods. I eat three plates the maximum! Imagine that!

3. I like my nails on my hands to be long. Idon't nailcut it if it's quite long. I want it looooong! I'm just lazy to cut it that's why I like it to be looooong! lol.

4.On normal days, again, I like to take a bath almost 5-6 hours after I wake up. It's just my habit. The water is colder at that time I think. lol.

5. I have this thing in me that I easily forget where I place some of my things. Even though I just placed it near me, I seem to forget and I don't know why. hehe.

6. When I'm on my deep sleep, I really don't know what's happening around me. Even if you wake me up several times or even if you transfer me to any place I can't seem to remember what happened in my sleep. It's my mandatory rest period. It's my right nmot to be disturbed! lol!

7. I'm a cry baby. I cry easily unlike the most of the guys. When I'm juts feeling so emotional, my tears just flow from my eyes. But only if I see someone crying. If I'm alone, even though how emotional I am, not a single tear will drop from my eyes.

So these are the 7 weird things about myself. Some may not sound weird but if you're in my place, you would really think it's weird.

So I'm tagging: Charlene, Scarlet, Eliza, Faj, Marco, July, and ate Gagay. :D

You guyz have a nice week ahead! :D

Thy Will Be Done...

2008-03-15T21:40:00.002+08:00

Actually dapat nung Monday ko pa ito pinost kasi I just am so happy to know my final academic standing in my high school life. But since I'm still busy(slight lang naman) due to yearbook stuff kasi layout artist ako sa yearbook namin which means I'm part of the staff, I can't post easily. So enough with all the rants. I managed to be in the merit list. I am the 25th merit of our batch which makes me the 32nd person in our batch including the honors for this year. The merit list, is the prestigious list in our school for those who are graduating who managed meet the academic standards of our school and who has consistently doing good in their academics and extra curricular activities. I was just so happy and relieved kasi nga nakapasok ako sa list. I thought I will not be in the list. So ayun, na-achieve ko nga ang gusto kong i-achieve sa high school life ko which eventually will end on March 29, 2008, our graduation day. *SIGH* Ma-miss ko talaga ang high school. All those kulitan and bonding stuff with my barkada, friends, batch mates, pati na rin sa mga lower years. It's just the period of fun and where we learn things that will help us become better in the future. Bigla tuloy akong nagdrama. Haha. lol. Wala lang. Ang dami kasi masayang nagyari sa high school life ko.

Next up, college life. Hay. Ngayon pa lang kahit wala pa ako nakatungtong sa lupa ng aking future university, nase-stress na ako. lol. Bakit kaya? It's just that reading from the posts of Renzy and July, masyado nga pala talagang mahirap mag-college especially sa UP. Tama talaga si Cha nung sinabi niyang ang stress na dinararanas ko sa high school will be multiplied to 3 pag dating sa college. Lalo pa't BS Bio ang course ko. Panginoon ko, tulungan niyo po ako pagpasok ko ng UP. Alam kong makakaya ko at masasanay na rin lang ako. BTW, wala ng atrasan sa UP kasi I have already confirmed online and through mail. Excited?! Hindi. Gusto ko lang matapos na ang pag-aalangan ng parents ko bout my course. I'm 99.99% sure na kasi. Pero malay natin diba, mag-change uli. Ika nga doon sa episode sa MMK noong March 14, 2008 starring Roxanne and Joross, "May plano ang Diyos para sa atin." It's true naman din diba. Well God was the one who helped me before in discerning about the course I must take in college. Malay natin, hindi pala ito ang plano niya for me. Bahala na si Lord. "Thy Will Be Done."

Talagang na-inspire talaga ako sa kwento kagabi. Maganda kasi at ang dami kong natutunan. Wala lang. Hehe. BTW, kanina nga pala yung graduation ng kuya sa college. My big bro is taking up BS management accounting which eventually he fought all the stress regarding his course. Ang hirap kaya ng nakaharap ka lang sa mga numbers buong araw. Hindi talaga ako maka-math na tao. Buti nga eh naka-graduate siya this year which means sabay uli kami kasi dati sabay kami grumaduate. Ako sa elementary, kuya ko sa high school. Matalino naman yun eh. Sinasapian nga lang minsan ni Juan Tamad.

I just hope that I can really cope up with my future college life. I know God will help me naman. Anyways, I'm just so happy na naka-post ako uli sa blog ko. Yey! Hayaan niyo, madalas na akong magpo-post pagtapos ng trabaho ko sa yearbook. Ayt guyz?

PS: talaga naman oh. I'll be turning 17 this 23. Easter Sunday. hehehe. Isang taon nanaman po ang dumaan sa napakasaya at napakagulong buhay ni Kim. :D

Every seniors' batch in SMAD always have the graduation song elimination to determine the song to be sang during the graduation day of the seniors. We had our elimination this afternoon and we did not expect to...

WIN! AS IN WIN! AS IN WE ARE FIRST! WE DID NOT EXPECT THIS! THANK GOD!

Our section is so blessed since we already have won the Mo. Candida Song Composition for the seniors last August! We are really grateful for all of God's graces! We thought Turquoise will win. But we won!

Here is the Graduation song of Carnelian '07-'08 and the Graduation song of Seniors Batch '07- '08:

PLAYGROUND
Carnelian Class '07-'08 Graduation Song

Introduction
Letting go, movin’ on
To a new and bright horizon, yeah
A mark to leave and create
Times shared would never vacate
And forever there’ll be
You and me

Verse 1
The playground was our world back then
We held our parents’ hands, can’t let go
But the grip loosened, away from home
(Set forth anew) A chance to grow

Refrain
Through the years, the road was tough to tread
Yet our paths have crossed; there was nothin’ else to fear
Hand-in-hand, together we have come this far
Grateful to Him who brought us here

Chorus
Today we set our hearts to fulfill
The call of our destiny
This is the time of our dreams
Comin’ to reality
As we march down the aisle
And bid our bittersweet goodbyes
Nothin’ is gonna come
Between our everlasting tie

Verse 2
The vast world is our playground now
The windows of chances await
We have become ladies and men
(Molded with hope) To course down our fate

Repeat Refrain and Chorus

Bridge
Times shared would never vacate
Always and forever there’ll be you and me
For we have each other’s heart, heart
(We have each other's heart)

Repeat Refrain once and Chorus twice

Ending
Nothing is gonna come
Between our everlasting tie
Nothing is gonna come
Between our everlasting tie

This day is worth remembering! Congratz Carnelian!

What Kim Lorenzo Calatrava Means

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience.
You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along.
But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you.
You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night.
Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

______________________________

I have so much to post as of the moment. I'm just so busy with school work that I cannot post a post actually made by me. Fortunately, my oh so tiring academic life will come to its end since it's our last week this week. Gawd! I still have one final test tomorrow which is math and I and my group will still have to deal with our English project which is a film documentary about our school. I just hope that we can finish things on time. I'll be having more time for blogging soon since I don't have to dwell on my studies anymore. I just hope that I will have good grades on my finals and also in my final grades. And I hope I will graduate with flying colors. Pray for me guyz!

I am deranged!

2008-02-09T23:01:00.000+08:00

It has been 14 days since my last post, and yes you guessed it right. My academic life is getting tougher and tougher as we nearly end up the school year and for us- graduating students- to end up our high school lives. Well as I perceive it, this is just a preparation for the bloodshed experiences I am going to have when I get to college. And I'm talking literal here. College will become a hotspot of stress for me. And I just hope that I can cope up with the stress that I am going to have especially that I am going to have my tertiary level of schooling in UP Mindanao. I'm quite preparing myself though.

We only have 20 days left in our high school lives and the days are getting closer and closer to each other. Imagine, we have lots of days in the month of February in which we have no classes. It already started yesterday February 8, 2008. Last Thursday, which was February 7, was the Chinese New Year. Since our school is a Chinese school, we celebrated the event. With nice presentations and cool outfits (since we were all permitted to wear anything red or if we have traditional Chinese costumes), we welcomed the Year of the Rat in the Lunar Calendar.

We were used to celebrate the said event a day before the New Year but since the day before the New Year was Ash Wednesday, our school administration decided to celebrate the New Year on the exact date. So yeah, we had a great time celebrating the New Year. And I do like celebrating the new year not only because of the tikoys that I get to eat, but of the fact that every Chinese New Year, our school declares a day off for everyone in the school for us to at least feel the occasion. I sound like Tadeo here (character from El Filibusterismo of Rizal who likes days without classes). lol. But I do need a day off. This week has been so tiring, coping up with new lessons and dealing with project deadlines. I still have to make some of my projects this weekend and hopefully, I could finish them all. I'm lucky to have at least 3 hours of leisure like what I am doing now. I'm lucky to still have time for blogging and time to enjoy the things that I can still enjoy that I may not anymore enjoy when I get to college like reading a good book or watching DVDs. I surely am getting prepared for my life in college.

Like I said, I'm lucky to still have time for leisure and I'm happy that I just finished reading a very good book. It's been a long time since I last read a very good book. And this time I got lucky to find it in our school library.

I've been wanting to read this book for a long time already since I get good reviews and feedbacks from friends but I just don't have the time. Cha's post in her blog made me want to read the book more. So I decided to borrow the book from the library. After reading the book, it inspired me and it helped me in my situation. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is surely a hit and is surely a must-read for everyone. I need not to explain this more because from all the good feedbacks this book has received from the industry's big names, this surely is one of the best books ever to be written. I'm currently reading one of Coelho's works and so far, this book has been amazing and insightful. Thanks to my friend Camille who let me borrowed her copy of this wonderful book.

Next week's going to be tough though. I hope I can finish the book on time and without me rushing through its pages.

Next week will already be our Prom! Yeah! Another time of fun and another time to be with friends. I'm so excited because this will be my last Prom. awwww. I'm surely gonna miss events like this as much as I have missed the Culmination week. But I need not to be sad, because life will be like this as what the book "The Alchemist" told me. enough if my dramas. I'm having a problem right now in choosing my clothes for the prom. My mom said we are going to buy my clothes later this afternoon and I just hope to find good looking and fashionable clothes that will fit me. And hopefully, I will not be one of those who will just dress simply in the said event. It's not always that we get to dress like this so we have to at least to make an effort to look good. My parents just deprives me to look good. Kesyo daw maraming gastos. But it's only once in a year. And this is our last Prom though. I want to point out to them that at least we could look good for at least once in our high school lives. I just pray that I will look good in our upcoming prom and that I can find good clothes.

I hope to post again the soonest. Ayoko rin kasi ng delayed updates so I'll try my best to post again the soonest. And as the title suggests, I am deranged! Hope to get out of this situation in no time.

Super Duper Busy!

2008-01-26T23:15:00.000+08:00

It has been 13 days since my last post here in my blog. What can I do? I have a super busy life to live. Well, this week's so busy though. And I'm expecting more next week.

Next week, our school will have its annual club culminating activities, and as an active student, I am a participant on the so called "big day" of the high school department. Name the things that I am capable of doing (i.e. singing, dancing, acting) and I'm gonna do those things on the big day. And this week has been a hell week not because of studying but because of practices for the big day. Well, I'm still busy with my academics though. CSAT(College Scholastic Aptitude Test) nga namin nung Wednesday eh. I have to deal with my busy schedule. And it does not stop there. I have 3 unit tests before the big day( physics, economics and english). And I really and badly need to finish my part of the prophecy of our batch for our annual JS Prom. How can I possibly do all these things without getting tired! It's just so tiring. I'd rather choose to busy myself in studying my lessons than to be practicing and making things that are so tiring and sometimes frustrating. Imagine, everyday I practice for about 2 hours in dancing and acting. Every Saturday, like this day, our dance practice was like 6 hours and our drama practice ran a course of 4 hours! But what can I do, it's my passion to dance and I am a refined theater artist. Luckily, I managed to write a new post despite my busy and tiring schedule. Well, I just need something to drive me out of this tiring life. Is there anything that could really help me to become less tired? I hope there's something! hehehe.

I only have 34 days left for my high school life. Well, our class will end early since I belong to the graduating batch. We will end on February 29. Unlike the the lower years who will end their classes 3 weeks after us. How I wish I could visit the beach after our last day but no, I cannot. We will still have to practice for our graduation. Talk about boring days. You'll just sit for the whole morning in the gym practicing the songs for the Holy Mass and practicing the rites that we graduates in our school usually go through. Luckily, I have my friends that will surely make my day less boring. And oh yeah, I will still come back in the afternoons of our graduation practices to make our yearbook since I am a yearbook staff. Talk about a very busy life!

On my previous post, I was in the middle of deciding whether to pursue my college studies in UP Mindanao or not. Well, I have finally decided, I will go to UP even though my course will be hard. Well it was a tough decision. I had to discern well and to weigh the different situations satisfactorily. I came up with this decision because my heart is telling me to do so. And this is what will make me happy in the future. I still have to consult my parents regarding this issue. I hope that they will be fine with whatever decision I will make .

Well that's gonna be it for now. I will keep you posted guyz! Take care y'all!

What more could I ask?

2008-01-13T21:28:00.000+08:00

My 3rd grading grades are now released. Luckily, I made a good job the past grading. So, here are my grades:

Christian Living Education- 92
English- 85
Filipino- 88
Physics- 86
Math- 85
Economics- 88
Values Educ.- 89
Technology/H.E.- 91
MAPEH- 92
RHGP- 91

*With an average of 88.7

I was quite surprised that my grades went up. My rank in class also went up. From the number 11 in class last 2nd grading, I am now at the 7th spot. Whew! I'm satisfied about my grades. And I'll do well this last grading in order to achieve my goal of being a MERIT student. Well, good luck to me!

UPCAT RESULT!

(click the image to zoom in)

OMG! I did not expect to pass the test! This surely is surprising. It really made me happy! I was shocked to see my name in the list. Well, I made it to UP Mindanao with the course BS Biology. I don't care if it's just in Mindanao. The thing is, I PASSED UP! Woohoo!

Now that I have passed UP, I will make a big decision whether to have my college schooling in UP or in SPC, a well-known nursing school here in Davao. Well, you see, my Dad wants me to pursue on Nursing studies so that I could go abroad and everything. But honestly, I literally don't want to be a nurse. I want to be a doctor. He said, that what I'm planning is hard. Having medicine studies is sooooo expensive. We may not afford it.

Well, I'm still on the process of weighing things in. I'm just deeply praying that I will arrive at a very good decision. Oh God! Please help me! Please help me guyz!

6 Days Since the New Year.

2008-01-06T20:22:00.000+08:00

It has been exactly 6 days since we celebrated the new year. Nothing much has happened. My 3rd Grading periodical test results are now released and I'm just relieved to see my grades.

Math- 89
Physics- 86
Filipino- 88
Economics- 83
English- 81

Well, I'm not that happy to see my grades beginning all in 8s. A grade beginning with a 9 would be cool. But it seems my grades are just on the average now. At least I don't have a grade starting with 7. Hopefully, my Christian Living test result will start with a 9. That can make me happy. :)

PINOY BIG BROTHER MADNESS!

I really am addicted to Pinoy Big Brother. It's just so cool and amzing. The 2nd celebrity edition has just ended and fortunately, the pride of Davao won, RUBEN GONZAGA.

We Davaoeños are truly proud of him! His big heart for his family and for everyone made him the first male big winner of the said reality tv show. He surely did good this season.

The beautiful Riza Santos was the 2nd big placer.

The athletic Gaby dela Merced was awarded as the 3rd big placer.

And last, the model/actor Will Devaughn was the 4th big placer.

I sure am an addict with PBB and I will continue this addiction through the seasons of PBB that is yet to come. Kudos Team PBB!

2007 Year-end Report/2008 Celebrated with a Bang!

2008-01-01T01:44:00.000+08:00

2007 has already passed and 2008 just entered our respective homes. Yet, I can still feel that I'm still in the year 2007. Why? This post will tell you why. (WARNING! Long post ahead! haha. but please keep on reading)

There are so many significant events that happened in this year. Well, significant for me. But I believe that everyone had a fun 2007 life. To top the list of the significant things that happened in the year 2007 was the formation of our barkada, the "BAKAK." The name may seem odd but our barkada lives up to the meaning of the word. Bakak, in our dialect means "lie." An odd name for a barkada you may consider but the origin of our name was taken from the things that happened to us individually before we bonded with each other and together formed a barkada. We were all lovestrucked at the time our barkada was nearly formed. Some of us were even crying and whining because of the love that we are experiencing. What can we do? We are just teens who just fall in love with someone. Because of these experiences, we learned how to advice each other and to stand up for each other. During the day of the formation of our barkada-March 3, 2007- we kept telling on ourselves that love is simply a lie. That love is just nothing. That led to the formation of our barkada in the Venue, a place here in Davao where there are clubs and bars. We drank and made ourselves drunk. I can't blame myself for drinking too much. I was depressed at that time that's why. But that first session of ours will be remembered. We're still standing strong today despite of the insults pointed to us. We will still be strong this new year even though we will become college students in the later half of the year. We will still be BAKAK! We will be a barkada forever!

Second on my list is my first drink of liquor. Pasaway! Hahaha. At first It just came out of curiosity. But slowly, I liked drinking. But luckily, I now drink ocassionally. Not like before that I drink almost every week. I stopped 4 months ago. Hahaha. Enough of my pasaway experiences. Let's move on to the fun things.

This year, I experienced to really fall in love. I really fell in love this year. It was happy at first, but eventually it went sad later. This made myself EMO throughout the year. The people that I have fallen in love may not be the right person for me because nothing happened to us. I cried and whined because of these people but it also helped me to become a better and strong person. Fortunately, hindi na ako palaging emo not like before. I've learned my lesson and I'm gonna bring those lessons in the new year.

There are many firsts this year for me. I choreographed our cheer dance group in school, I attended a formal dance workshop, I became addicted to COFFEE, and many more! haha. Nakakapagod mag-mention nung iba. Madami kasing firsts na nangyari sa akin this year. Hehe. But all these things were all fun and exciting. It made my year so memorable and so fun!

Well, I need not to dwell on the past year. It will remain as part of the history of my life.

Goodbye 2007!

I will surely miss this year since it covered most of my last high school days. But I have to move on to a new year and to a new life. Ciao 2007! I'll miss you!

HELLO 2008!

It's exactly 2 hours and 11 minutes after we celebrated the new year with a bang. It may not be a literal bang since our city mayor here in Davao banned the use and the production of firecrackers. But still, our celebration here with my family and neighbors was surely a BANG!

Fortunately, I'm happy as the new year started. I was pissed off kasi kaninang morning. I was going to our barkada's Christmas party for the kids in DSWD here in Davao. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to join kasi daw kulang daw kami ng isang katulong. I have to help daw in preparing for the new year. Nakakainis! Sobrang nainis ako sa dad ko. Pero hindi na rin ako makareklamo. Pinabayaan ko na lang.

The rest of the day went smooth and fine. We attended mass together and we bonded together kanina sa dining table during dinner. Buti na lang naging ok yung half ng day ko.

I am actually super busog as of this moment from the Media-noche we just had. The food was super yummy kasi. Especially the Mocha-Caramel cake from Red Ribbon. I also liked the way my mom cooked the spaghetti and the ham. Hehe. Hindi pa ako nagpatinag at kumain ulit ako sa bahay ng kapitbahay namin! Hahaha. Their carbonara was super yum and I loved it! I think gusto kong tumaba sa 2008 kaya ngayon pa lang kumakain na ako ng marami! Hahaha.

Now, I am writing my first post for the new year. Gusto ko rin atang ma-lihian ng maraming blogging days ang life ko sa 2008. Hahaha. I'm also planning to watch a dvd right now. Hahaha. There are many things kasi that I want to happen in my life this year. I'll continue to aim that these things will surely be achieved.

I also made my new year's resolution na sana lang eh magawa ko. Hehehe. Kasali sa resolution ko ang tumaba. Hehehe. That's why I ate a lot during our Media-noche. Included also in my resolution is to study harder in order to have good grades especially this year that I'll become a college student already. Good grades make me happy and my parents happy that's why I really am aiming to have good grades. I'm also planning to be a better son, friend and person this new year. There are still a lot of things in my list but I'll just mention them if I have achieved them during this year.

2007's really gone and I am blogging now in 2008. I'm so thankful that the Lord guided me through the past year. I'm also thankful that the Lord kept on blessing me and my family during the past year. Super thanks to you Lord and I hope that you continue to bless us this year! With the song played in my blog, I'm thanking you a million Lord!

Let's all be happy this new year guyz! And as they say, LET'S ALL START THE YEAR RIGHT! :) :) :)

Have a Jolly Christmas Everyone!

It's been a week since my last post. Primarily because last week was my hell week since it's the week of my 3rd periodical exams. Fortunately, my hell week is over. I enjoyed my Christmas party at school, I totally love the gifts that my friends gave to me, and I'm surely gonna celebrate Christmas in a festive mood!

I'll be leaving the city later. Pupunta uli kami sa Midsayap, North Cotabato, my mom's province where we will celebrate Christmas. Every year we go to my mom's province to celebrate Christmas. It's also a time for a reunion for us and for our relatives. This means I'll be away from my PC for almost 3 days. But when I get back, I'll surely update my blog.

Keep the comments coming! Tc everyone! Have a jolly Christmas! :D

Stardust!

2007-12-16T01:16:00.000+08:00

My friends are really true that this movie is truly a must-see!

I just bought a dvd copy of this movie (pirated of course. haha.). Since I'm uber excited of what the movie is all about, I eagerly watched it. And when I started watching it, all I can say is, "GOSH! I'm liking this movie!" The movie is really amazing! And if you were to compare the last Harry Potter movie which was the Order of the Phoenix to this movie, you too will also say that Stardust is way better than HP 5 when it comes to effects and on how the story is coined from the book edition.

If you really want to amaze yourself with uber cool effects, uber nice story, uber filled with fantasy, uber filled with love, and if you really want to be uber happy watching a fantasy film, then you've got to watch STARDUST! It's really an uber amazing fairy tale you really don't want to miss!

-->P.S. I'm not giving of spoilers so you guyz will not know anything about the movie. If you are curious, then go watch it. haha. :D

hell week before christmas!

2007-12-12T21:10:00.000+08:00

I took this opportunity to post a new entry in my blog after 18 days of dead air in my blog. I have been busy for the past few days with academics and my extra-curricular activities and I lost precious time for blogging. Since tomorrow is a nationwide transport strike (in the Philippines), our teachers announced that there will be no class tomorrow. And since I am not doing anything for the moment, I took the chance to post a new entry.

Next week is surely gonna be a hell week since it is our 3rd grading periodical exams week. As what we always do for tests, my routine next week will be made up of study, study, and STUDY! I kind of hate it cause I should be enjoying the Christmas season already since we have only 13 days to go before Christmas. But as my teachers said, we should not focus more on the Christmas season since we still have the 3rd grading pt. It's such a lame excuse not to enjoy the season but I really have to focus more on my studies in order for me to maintain my good grades. I'm just thinking of the possibility that if will I do good this grading, maybe my parents can buy me my dream phone which will be mentioned in the latter part of my post.

For everyone's information, my hell week started this week because of project deadlines, unit tests, quizzes, and I still need to comply with my requirements in order to have my grades. I'm already tired. As in I'm really TIRED! I still have 4 unit tests to go and we still need to finish our project in physics (we, since it is a group project). I'm sleeping uber late already since I still need to study and to do some other things related to school. And I'm beginning to be frightened because I got low scores in my quizzes and past unit tests this 3rd grading. I still need to work hard in order for me to achieve good grades. It's just so tiresome to do and juggle all these things. But I know I can do this. I just have to be strong and ready for whatever will come in my way this week and next week.

--end of my rants--

Since Christmas is fast approaching, I will also post my wishlist this Christmas:

[::]Nokia 5310 XpressMusicFone, I really want this phone. It's an mp3 phone loaded with uber cool features like its file storage that can store up to 700+ songs with the internal memory and the microSD card. If you want to know more about this phone, just visit: www.nokia.com.

[::]A laptop. Any laptop will do as long as it is also jampacked with cool features. bUt i specifically want a macbook or a Toshiba laptop. :D

[::]An iPod Nano. Am I asking too much? I know I'm also wishing for an mp3 phone, I just want to have an iPod to experience the joys of having an iPod.

My 2nd Grading Grades...

2007-11-25T23:17:00.000+08:00

I should have posted this two days ago. But because of a busy schedule due to a workshop that I had yesterday until this morning, I wasn't able to post this.

Well as the title suggests, this post is all about my grades. So here my grades and also my final average for this grading:

Christian Living Education: 90
English: 85
Filipino: 89
Physics: 83
Math: 82
Economics: 86
Values Education: 88
Practical Arts: 90
MAPEH: 90
RHGP: 90

Average: 87.3

My grades made me the top 11 of our class. I'm quite sad because my rank went down, from 7 down to 11. But my average went up, from 86.7 to 87.3. Well done I think, but I still need to work hard. I still have two more gradings to go before my graduation. *sigh* I'm gonna leave high school in 4 months. I'll surely miss high school.

Well enough of the drama. As of the moment I'm pissed of by my adviser, the monstrous english teacher of the seniors. It's because the comment she gave me at the last part of my report card where my adviser feeds in her coments about me. She said, for the second time around because she also said this in the first grading, that I'm getting too talkative. Too talkative?! Hell not! Well honestly, I'm really a blabber person. But this grading?! I always kept my mouth shut and now my monstrous adviser tells me that I'm getting too talkative! F*ckin hell!

Before the start of the 2nd grading, our adviser changed our seating arrangement in order for ust to behave more and in order for us to cope up. I was moved to the last seat of the second column in the left. I was seated with my not-so talkative classmates and they can prove it that I'm not getting too noisy! I just so hate my adviser! If only I can slap her face! Ugh! Err!

Well enough of my blurt outs. It will only give me wrinkles. Lol. It has been a long time since my last post. I just am glad to post a new one now. My life is just getting busier and busier. Which would also mean less time for blogging and visiting the cyberworld. But luckily I can insert these habits of mine to my daily routine.

I'll be posting new stuff this week so watch for it guyz! Ayt?! teehee! :D

And My 2nd Grading Periodical Test Results are released!

2007-11-07T22:35:00.000+08:00

Within the week, 2nd Grading PT results were released and this are my results:

Math-100

Christian Living-93

English-90

Economics-90

Filipino-90

Physics-77

Basically, my results are ok. Well, except for Physics of course. The topic in the physics test was fine. It was not that hard. But almost all questions in the test were all of the analysis-type. I'm really not the person who is quick in analyzing things. Most especially when the subject is related to science (except for biology). It really needs critical-thinking and I really have to apply the different laws stated by the scientists who improved the study of physics. But nevertheless, I'm still glad I got a passing grade (the passing grade in our school in a 100 item test is 75...we're using the 0-base system that's uber hard and challenging). I just hope that I could get a grade of 80 or higher in my final grade. *prasy hard*

Math...well would you look at that result?! Perfect?! Honest to say, it's really a rare case that I get a perfect grade in math cause I'm not the math genius kind of person. And for you to be updated, my unit tests and quizzes in math this grading are uber low. Well our topic was logarithm. Some topics under logarithm were uber confusing. Luckily, I understood them a day before the math pt. And I really studied hard for this matter. I would not want a grade that is 79 below cause I'm still running for merit (an award given to students who have grades that do not go below 80 and reflects to have good conduct). Math really got me worried this grading and luckily, I did well in the last test. I juts hope that I will get a grade of 80 or higher on my final grade. *again. prays hard*

All the other subjects were fine. I was shocked to get a grade of 90 for my english test. It's because our teacher in english is a monster. She's so demanding when it comes to things. And mind you, we have to memorize some chapters of the book Mythology by Edith Hamilton. Mythology was our topic for this grading. It was fun but it was uber a challenging topic with all the gods and godesses and also the different stories. The test was uber deadly as in uber. But luckily I passed it and got a good grade. But what dreads me is that the friggin myhtology topic will still continue this 3rd grading! Arrgghh! I hope I can still cope up.

Filipino and Economics were both fine. The test in Filipino was all about the first ten chapters of Rizal's El Filibusterismo. Talk about deep tagalog words. But luckily I had a good grade. The test in economics on the other hand is kinda deadly. But because this is my favorite subject (for my senior year), I really tried hard to get a good grade and I achieved it and I'm proud of it! haha.

Christian Living...talk about religousity! haha. lol. Our school is a Catholic school so obviously, we will be havin this subject. Eventually you will think that I'm sooo religous but I'm really not. I just cling to God's arms and just believe that God will surely help me. And I'm also glad to have a good grade for this subject because this test was the longest (i think...haha.lol.)

Basically I did well and I hope that my final grades would also reflect the hardwork I did for this grading. I also hope and pray that I could maintain my grades till the last grading. I will just give you guyz an update when my final grades for this grading will be released.

--P.S. From my results I realized that I am Gerky! Haha. But I'm really not that Gerky. I'm just Gerky when I really need to. haha. lol.

Life's challenges will eventually get harder...

2007-11-04T02:12:00.000+08:00

Only a day to go and my semestral break will finally end. The 2nd semester will start and new problems and challenges will surely await in my academic life. It will again be tiring cause I need to cope up with all the problems that life will throw at me.

Well to think of it, nakakapagod ngang mabuhay. Ikaw ba naman bigyan ng sandamakmak na problema eh hindi ka ba mapapagod? But life is made to be that way. Everyday we will surely experience problems. As in everyday. Walang araw na hindi ka haharap sa problema. But as I said, life is made that way. We need to face problems in order for us to grow and to mature. The problems will also become a basis if we really are up for the challenge of solving them. Para san pa nga ba ginawa ang problema kundi para i-solve natin. And we also learn from these problems. Kung resulta ng isang mistake ang problem ng isang tao, then that person is required to learn from his/her mistake. We can correct our mistakes if we will learn from it. Not by making another mistake as a result to the previous mistake.

Lahat tayo ay nagkaka-problema. Pati nga siguro si God ay nagkaproblema dati sa paggawa ng mundong ginagalawan natin. We should not exclude ourselves from experiencing problems. May iba kasi, kesyo palagi sa simbahan eh dapat hindi na magkaproblema, kesyo panay ang dasal ay hindi na magkakaproblema, kesyo sinasabihan na mabait ay dapat hindi na magkaproblema. We should not think this way. From the day we were born, tons of challenges are already thrown to us and a lot still waits. We are made to face and also to learn from the problems and challenges we experience. Walang taong free sa problema. Kasi kung meron man, binaril ko na siya. lol.

These problems will eventually get harder. Buti nga sana kung hindi eh. Mas gugustuhin ko pa kasi yung mga problema ko nung bata pa ako kasi prino-problema ko lang kung bibilhan ba ako ng laruan o hindi. But life's challenges will eventually get harder as we go on with our lives. We cannot stop a problem to become harder cause problems are made that way...they become harder and harder. We should also not compare our problems to other people. Kesyo sa tingin natin ay mas madali ang problema ng iba at tayo ay nahihirapan sa mga problemang uber sa hirap. Isipin na lang natin yung mga taong mas mahirap ang pinagdadaanan. Just like those people living in the squatters area. Nakaka-awa nga yung mga taong nasa squatters area eh. Halos lahat sa kanila ay pinanganak na may mabigat na problema. Habang nabubuhay sila, mas bibigat pa ang problemang haharapin nila. Swerte nga tayo eh. We can eat three meals a day and eat lavishly our favorite dishes. We should be thankful for this. Kasi yung iba, they're contented to eat one meal per day and worse, paminsan ay hindi na sila kumakain. We should learn to thank the Lord for giving us a life na sobrang ina-asam ng ibang tao.

But of course, life will never run out of problems. God will never run out of giving us problems. I firmly believe kasi na lahat ng ating probs ay galing sa kanya. He gives these problems to us in order for us to grow and also for us to feel His presence that in every problem we experience, He will be there watching, guiding, and helping. If we think that we are experiencing an uber hard problem, then we should thank God for the added compliment... cause He knows that we can do it and we can solve it.

We should learn to accept these problems. If not now, eventually we will learn to accept them, cause life will never run out of problems. Gawin na lang nating daily habit ang pagso-solve ng problema. We should not expect na dadating ang araw na mawawalan din tayo ng problema.

We should learn to live our life this way. In this way, we become prepared for the problems that will be thrown to us later. And with this, we become stronger. Nakaka-happy ng malaman na nasolve natin ang isang problema. That we've experienced success behind solving a problem.

Life's challenges will eventually get harder and harder so prepare for it. Trust me.

let the room speak...

2007-11-02T00:50:00.000+08:00

What Does Your Room Reveal?

My Result: Laid-Back

Sure, hard work pays off over time, but relaxation pays off right now! For you, there's no time like the present to kick back and enjoy the world. And if stress creeps in, what better place to rejuvenate than in your mellow room? We're not saying it's a mess but you definitely keep things in perspective and take tidiness like you take the rest of life — in stride.

So if you have to walk on a carpet of dirty clothes to get to the door, or have a mishmash of scratched CDs cluttering your shelves, it's time to realize that everything in your room should have its rightful place...if only in your eyes. But just because you take life as it comes, it doesn't mean you have to like all the smells that go with it.

who's gonna play as "ME" on the big screen?

2007-11-02T00:35:00.000+08:00

Who's Your Movie Star Double?

My Result: Chris Klein

A space cadet (in the nicest sense of the word) like you needs to be played by someone who has his own positive outlook on life, someone who is completely loyal, someone who is unbelievably endearing, someone like Chris Klein.

Whether he's palling around with his buddies in movies like Election, or playing the ultra sweet crooner in American Pie, Chris has the right stuff to play the part of someone who's seemingly clueless at times, but oddly intuitive when it matters most.

Like the roles that Chris has made famous, you might tend to get preoccupied when people are talking around you. But who cares if you jump back into the conversation with a slightly bizarre comment or two? It just means your mind has been wandering in interesting places. You, like Chris in his supporting roles, probably prefer to dedicate your full attention to the things that give you the most joy: your friends, your family, or a cause you're dedicated to. But ultimately, that's part of what attracts people to you and why they love having your good heart and supersensitive brain around. And that's also why Chris Klein is a shoe-in to star in the movie of your life.

Take this test >

if i really have the chance to make my life as a story for the big screen, i will make it a point that chris clein will play as "ME" cause we are really alike. and that alone makes me happy :D

risk taker nga ba ako?

2007-11-02T00:07:00.000+08:00

Are You a Risk Taker?

My Result: Following Your Heart

Whether you're searching for your soul mate or you've already found a special someone, you're not afraid to take your chances in the realm of romance. Listening to your heart, and even putting it on the line, is part of your romantic nature.

Love can be a gamble, and for a passionate person like you, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. You'll never find your soul mate if you don't try. Besides, it'll help you figure what you're really looking for in a perfect partner. So keep following your heart. It's sure to take you on a romantic ride!

Take this test >

masyado na mang naging accurate ang test na to. let the result explain it to you. and if you really know me, then you too would be quite surprised by the result. ;)

eh sa High School Musical...

2007-10-30T23:58:00.001+08:00

Which High School Musical Star Are You?

My Result: Ryan Evans

We wouldn't be surprised if you came to school tomorrow a few pounds lighter because you gave your right arm to a friend in need. It's just so you. Someone's stuck on a bad date? Forgot their lunch money? Just needs a little advice? You'll come to the rescue on the double, just like your High School Musical match.

Just make sure you have time for yourself, since it's hard to meet your goals when you put everyone's needs before your own. Still, we're sure you'll be a star in the end. And you'll probably pull it off with style — both inside and out.

Take this test >

i just happen to be like my fave character ryan evans! lol. nakakatuwa na man ang result ng test na to. haha. :))

eh sa Harry Potter kaya...

2007-10-30T23:50:00.000+08:00

Which Harry Potter Character Are You?

My Result: Harry Potter

Who else has what it takes to be the star of the show? While you can occasionally fly off the handle just a little or take things a bit too far, you're usually good as goblin blood. It's not that you look for trouble — it just ends up finding you.

It seems like you should be pretty full of yourself, but you keep it all in check. In fact, a little birdie told us (well, it was actually an owl) that you're not always the most confident person, but you believe in yourself when it really matters. You might not have the wand or spell books quite yet, but you've got the support of your friends until you visit Diagon Alley.

Take this test >

nakaka-flatter na man ang result ng test na to. haha. lol. pano ba yan kaibigan, eh ka-level ko pala si Harry Potter eh. lol. :)

sino kaya ang ka-level ko sa tv show na "HEROES"?

2007-10-30T23:37:00.000+08:00

Which Hero Are You?

My Result: Hiro Nakamura

Such a dreamer! Even when you're stuck in a rut, you still reach for the stars. Happy-go-lucky and trusting you may be, but silly you're not — you've definitely got a practical side. And no matter what the future holds for you, we know you'll have fun along the way!

nakapagtataka pero nakakatuwa. :)

the color test...

2007-10-30T23:23:00.000+08:00

The Color Test

My Result: Calm

People who choose Blue over other colors reveals that they have a desire for either emotional tranquility or physiological rest. They may long to escape emotional conflict or a situation that has been demanding, or they may crave a restful period that doesn't require a lot of physical activity. Overall, they long for a calm environment that is free from stressors, even though they do have the capacity to handle stress with grace. They need for their relationships to be free of conflict, as it's essential that they be able to trust those who are close to them and be trusted by them in return. They have quiet spirits, peaceful demeanors and impeccable integrity.

Take this test >

di na ako magtataka kung bakit ito ang lumabas na resulta sa test na to. lol. :)

the karma test...

2007-10-30T01:06:00.000+08:00

The Karma Test

My Result: compassionate nature

In fact, people with compassionate natures seem to have a real knack for both understanding what people are going through and finding ways to support them during difficult times. By being sensitive and having a keen sense of empathy, they can do much to alleviate others' pain. This has been an important way they've earned their karma up to this point. This kindness strengthens their current relationships but suggests it will come back to them positively in the future. Through their concerted efforts to care about and tend to the needs of others, they generate good karma for themselves and the universe.

Take this test >

bigla na man yata akong nabigla sa resulta ng test na to. pero this test made me happy. :)

what's behind your emotions?

2007-10-30T00:56:00.000+08:00

What's Behind Your Emotions?

My Result: Compassion

In other words, your uncompromisingly compassionate nature directly affects how, and how often, you experience certain feelings.

For example, your test results indicate that you're most fulfilled when you can lend a helping hand to those who really need it. That factor is directly related to your fundamental belief in compassion and the range of emotions it triggers.

Based on your belief in compassion, where do you rank in the emotional landscape? Which of your emotions dominate your life? And how can you learn to control your emotions?

Take this test >

at ako na naman po ay natuwa. :)

ano nga ba hinahanap ko sa isang bakasyon?

2007-10-30T00:40:00.000+08:00

What's Your Travel Temptation?

My Result: Big Events

Flipping through channels on the hotel TV? Eating your way through the mini bar? Going to bed before the sun goes down? How boring. You'd much rather hit the town and take part in all the concerts, exhibits, and eats that a new destination has to offer.

Even if you might've sprung for a nice hotel, it doesn't mean you have to sit in it all day. Some of the best foot-stomping, heart-stopping, Texas-sized action is found beyond those cream-colored walls — and you know it. So no matter where you head, your idea of a good time comes from a great street party, a multi-cultural festival, or a pie-eating contest. And one thing's for sure — you'll never be short on things to do — or memories!

Take this test >

at kung ako nga ang papipiliin kung anong klaseng bakasyon ang gusto ko, gusto ko ng uber sa dami ng events! :)

heart or brain?

2007-10-30T00:24:00.000+08:00

Do You Follow Your Heart or Your Head?

My Result: Heart-Strong Idealist

You're an impassioned individual who just can't suppress your ideals. You've got a strong sense of right and wrong, and want to let people know when they've crossed the line. Sure, there are times when you sit back to hear both sides of an argument. But people had better stay out of the way when your fiery passions take hold.

But just because you can be a bit of a rebel with a cause, it doesn't mean you're incapable of being understanding and compassionate. It's because you're so invested in your ideas and interests that you can work so tirelessly toward your goals and speak up for what you believe in. So keep pouring your heart into it. With conviction like yours, you're sure to succeed!

Take this test >

at bigla na naman po akong natuwa sa resulta ng test na to. yung resulta na ng test ang bahalang mag-explain kung bakit. :)

what's your best quality?

2007-10-29T23:53:00.000+08:00

What's Your Best Quality?

My Result: Intelligent

People who are highly intelligent are more likely to be unique than many. Higher intelligence also offers greater possibilities in terms of how someone is likely to interpret the world. In addition, intelligent people are typically more able to articulate themselves well and to have high integrity.

Take this test >

bigla na man yata akong natuwa sa result ng test na to. flattering na man yata masyado. haha. lol. naniniwala ako sa test na to. at alam kong malayo ang mararating ko gamit ang best quality na meron ako. :)

ano nga ba ang dream job ko?

2007-10-29T23:44:00.000+08:00

What's Your Dream Job?

My Result: Rocket Scientist

You could definitely hack it as a rocket surgeon. Or brain surgeon. Or rocket scientist, we mean. Sorry, we're just not as smart as you! Anyway, your perfect job would be mentally challenging and intellectually stimulating — just like you. When it comes to anything that requires an eye for detail and a quick mind, you're the one for the job.

We're not saying you're a total nerd or anything, but you do enjoy putting your mental muscle to the test, even when it comes to little things like filing documents in a flash or performing ten tasks simultaneously. Nobody does it quite like you. So put that big brain of yours to work wherever you are and you'll make it to the top. Now that's smart thinking!

Take this test >

bigla na man yata akong natakot sa resulta ng test na to. lol. pero ang totoo niyan, gutso ko talga maging isang doctor. isang surgeon. neurosurgeon to be exact. so may connection na man pala ang resulta ng test na to sa pangarap kong maging doctor. sana nga lang eh matupad. :)

personality test...

2007-10-29T15:33:00.000+08:00

sa maniwala kayo o hindi, tunay nga na ako'y isang idealist. :)

yayaman ba ako?

2007-10-29T15:27:00.001+08:00

kung pagsasamahin ko ang hardwork, determination, and passion, yayaman ako kahit na ano pang career ang pipiliin ko. :)

online iq test....

2007-10-29T15:05:00.000+08:00

hindi ko alam kung gaano ka totoo pero para sa akin, ito nga ay totoo. haha. lol. try nyo rin para malaman niyo ang level ng iq niyo. hehe.

isa akong party boy...

2007-10-21T20:54:00.000+08:00

Inaamin ko pong isa akong party boy. Mahilig ako pumunta sa mga club at hindi ko maikakaila ang pagkakaroon ko ng night life. Pano ba kasi, noong una kong nigh-out eh parang nabighani ako at nasiyahan ako. Para bang walang pakialam ang mga tao sa paligid ko. At enjoy ang magkaroon ng night life. Maggastos nga lang.

Isang buwan na ang nakalipas mula noong huli kong night out. Nakaka-miss, pero kailangan munang mag-lie low ako mula sa night life ko. Kinailangan ko kasi munang mag-concentrate sa studies ko at kinailangan ko ring magtipid dahilan ng mga sobrang daming kailangang bayaran sa paaralan namin. Pati rin kasi ang mga kaibigan ko ay nag-lie low rin. Ang pangit na man ng night out mo kung wala kang kasamang kaibigan. Napag-isipan ko ring kailangan ko munang ihinto ng panandalian kasi halos kada Sabado ay lumalabas ako at patuloy ko ring pinapainit ang ulo ng mga magulang ko.

Sobrang enjoy magkaroon ng night life. Para saan pa nga ba ang pagkakaroon ko ng night life kundi para sa pagkakaroon ng good time kasama ang aking barkada at para maka-unwind sa lahat ng pagod na dinanas ko sa nagdaang linggo. Isa ring pampawala ng stress ang pagkakaroon ko ng night life. Ang maganda eh nakaka-kilala ako ng mga bagong kaibigan. Mga gimikero rin at gimikera tulad ko na pinapakilala na man ng mga kaibigan ko. Nakakatuwa kasi nagkakaroon ka ng mga bagong kaibigan galing sa mga night out mo.

Hindi ko na rin itatago na umiinom ako. Pero kontrolado ko ang pag-inom ko kasi alam kong may hangganan ang pag-inom ko. Ayaw ko rin kasing malasing. Hindi talaga mawawala ang inuman sa loob ng mga clubs. Hindi ko na rin itatago na sumasayaw rin ako. Lalo pa't kasayaw ko ang aking uber sa bibong barkada. Tila yata kumakapal ng lalo ang mukha ko pag sasayaw ako sa mga clubs. Wala na mang pakialam yung mga tao so game ako sa sayawan.

Kung akoy mapagbibigyan ay pupunta ako sa "Club Embassy" sa Manila. Ito na kasi siguro ang pinaka-sosyal na club sa buong Pilipinas. Pero meron naman ding mga magagandang club dito sa Davao at mag-eenjoy ka rin sa mga club dito tulad ng pag-eenjoy mo sa club embassy.

Napag-planuhan na naming magbabarkada na kapag dumating na ang sem. break namin ay lalabas kami para magkaroon ng night out. Para na rin maka-unwind kami mula sa lahat ng pagod at para rin kami ay makalabas uli ng sabay para magasaya at mag-enjoy

Hindi na man masama magkaroon ng night life tulad ng iniisip ng karamihan sa atin. Nagiging masama lamang ito kapag nasobrahan na tay lalo na kung nasobrahan tayo sa pag-inom. Sa katotohanan nga ay may mga mgaganda pang naidudulot ang mga night out na ito. Hindi dapat natin pag-isipian ng masama ang mga gimikero kasi ginagawa lang nila yun para sila ay magenjoy. Tulad ko. Nag-eenjoy ako at patuloy akong magkakaroon ng night life sa buong buhay ko dulot ng kasiyahang binibigay nito.

isang matinding laban...

2007-10-21T02:43:00.000+08:00

Magiging isang matinding linggo ang kahaharapin ko lalo pa't 2nd grading Periodical Tests week na namin. Alam kong magiging super busy ako sa linggong ito, kaya nga ngayon pa lang ay pinapa-alam ko na sa cyberspce na mawawala ako ng mga ilang araw. Pero kung magkapanahon ako sa linggong ito, eh bibisita pa rin ako sa cyberspace.

Masyado ng bakakapagod ang buhay eskwela ko. Ngunit kailanagan ko tong lagpasan lahat lalo pa't kailanagan kong mapasaya ang aking mga magulang. Kailangan ko ring bawiin ang mga markang mababa na nakuha ko noong unang markahan. Kailangan kong bawiin ang aking grado sa asignaturang math at physics. Ayaw ko rin kasing ma-demerit (award na binibigay sa mga estudyante sa paaralan namin na nakakakuha ng grado na hindi bababa ng 80). Isang karangalan na kasi para sa akin ang maging isang merit awardee. Gusto ko ring mapatunayan sa sarili ko na may kaya ako pagdating sa larangan ng akademiks. Sana lang ay makakayanan ko at sanay tulungan ako ng ating Panginoon.

Masaya nga pala ako ngayon kasi inayos ni Dr. Renzy Benzy ang blog ko. Hehe. Maraming salamat Dr. Renzy. Binago mo ang buhay blog ko. Ok, korni na. Hehe.

Sana makayanan ko ang linggong ito at inaanyayahan ko kayong lahat na magdasal para sa akin. Handa na ako para sa isang matinding laban hehe. Biro lang. Sa susunod ulit.

sa mga mag-kabarkada, walang dapat itago...

2007-10-11T21:34:00.000+08:00

Pitong buwan na ang nakalipas ng nabuo namin ang aming barkada, ang BAKAK. At masasabi kong marami na kaming pinagdaanan pero sa huli, naging matatag pa rin kami. Wala kasi kaming tinatago sa isa't-isa at pati na rin sa buong madla. Hindi namin ikinakaila ang mga kamaliang nagawa namin sa aming buhay at pati na rin ang mga pangyayaring mahirap kalimutan. Pero sa kabila nito, may parte sa amin na kaaya-aya. Kami ay mga pala-kaibigang tao. Kahit sino pwede naming maging kaibigan. Pwera na lang kung hindi kami gusto ng mga gusto naming kaibiganin. Hindi na man namin problema kung ayaw niyo kaming kabiganin. Walang nawala sa amin, kayo ang nawalan.

Alam naming maraming mga taong pilit sinisiraan ang aming barkada. Pero hindi kami patitinag dito. Insecure lang kasi sila kung kaya't sinisiraan nila kami. Pero hindi kami naghahanap ng away. Ang gusto lamang namin ay huwag niyo sanang simulan ang away kasi kung kami makakalaban niyo maghanda-handa na lang kayo.

Masaya ako at napaka-proud kong maging isang miyembro ng barkadang BAKAK. Alam naming magtatagal pa kami kasi ngayon pa lang, wala na kaming tinatago sa isa't-isa. At lam naming magtatagumpay kami sa lahat ng pagsubok na aming pagdadaanan.

gusto ko na ng pahinga!

2007-10-10T23:08:00.000+08:00

Dalawang linggo na lang at matatapos na rin ang pangalawang grading sa school year na ito. At ang masasabi ko lamang ay pagod na pagod na ako! Gusto ko ng magpahinga mula sa lahat ng pagod na ito! Aaaahhh! Masyado na akong stressed! Ahy. Kung pwede lang sanang magkaroon ng isang buwan para magpahinga ay talagang pauunlakan ko.

Sa totoo lang, nasa estado kami ng pag-eenjoy ngayon kasi sportsfest namin, kaya lang, pah-iisipin, sa susunod na linggo, ay deadline na ng halos lahat ng projects at maski isa, hindi ko pa nasisimulang gawin! At ngayon, habang sinusulat ko ito sa blog ko nalaman kong wala ng ink ang aming computer! Ito na siguro ang kasisiraan ng ulo ko! Sana lang talaga hindi ako matuluyan kasi kung matutuluyan ako, hanapin niyo na lang ako sa malapit na mental hospital. Sana lang talga hindi.

Pero kakayanin ko pa rin. Para saan pa nga ba ang lahat ng ito kundi para maging isang matatag akong tao. Alam kong darating ang panahon na makakapag-pahinga na rin ako. Siguro ngayon dadaan muna ako sa butas ng karayom. Mabubuhay na man ako basta kasama ko ang kape sa aking tabi. Pero alam kong sa huli, magtatagumpay ako. Alam ko ring kaya ko. Sana nga lang. Hehehe.

i'm an emo shit...

2007-07-22T18:49:00.000+08:00

Almost everyday, I become an emo person. And it's all because of love. Yes, I'm lovestrucked. My feelings lately are brushed away by love. I often become sad. Always thinking of the person who has a special place in my heart. That same person who makes me happy. The person who cared and comforted me through the days of sadness and pain. The person whom I love. The person whom I want to share my life with.

But we can't be together. She has "him." And it can never be "us." I should just accept the fact that we should remain as good friends. It hurts because this feeling of mine is true. It is not my fault that I have fallen in love with her. This feeling just bursted out. I can't hide it anymore. But I don't want to let her know. Cause I will risk our friendship. The friendship that started long ago.

But I love her. And forever I will love her. I will just leave this to fate.

i'm super busy!

2007-06-17T23:24:00.000+08:00

It has been 2 weeks since my last post. I have been super busy since that last post. As continuation to my last post, I now belong to the section Carnelian which was my last in all the sections. Bad luck huh?! But actually, it's not. My classmates are totally insane and I like them so much. hehe..

So far, I really do lack sleep. Primarily because I sleep at 12 midnight and I woke up at quarter to 6 the following morning. It really sucks cause I really get sleepy the following day! But I'm used to it. It's the lifestyle that I have been running for quite long since I became a sophomore in high school. And the fact that I'm really busy! Juggling my studies and my extra-curricular activities! I will get crazy if I will be really stressed! But luckily, I still have some time to chill.

Ok. So almost all of you(college pipz) are saying that you are busier than me and college is way more busier. It's true. We're all busy. But you guyz are way more busier than me. So have a time to chill. Ayt?

Gosh! Tomorrow will be the start of my 3rd week and yet I'm so busy. I just wish that I can really juggle well the things that will yet to come! Kudos to all of us and good luck!

is it carnelian, diamond, chrysolite, or turquoise...

2007-06-02T09:27:00.000+08:00

Today is the day that our respective sections will be released for this new school year. In the high school department of our school, there are 4 sections in each year level. The four sections in our year (senior) are Carnelian, Diamond, Chrysolite, or Turquoise. And I will go to our school later to see if what section I belong.

From the four sections, I really want to belong in Turquoise or Diamond! But there is a great feeling within me that makes me think that I belong to Carnelian! Noooo! But actually, I really don't care if I belong to this section or to that section. The important thing is, I have great and good classmates and that all of will have fun.

So later, when I get back to our house, I will again post to inform you guyz about my section.(as if this is important! hehe...)

on odong and misua...

2007-06-01T12:05:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, our lunch was the local odong with sardines. Today, our lunch was the local misua with sardines. My realization, have we totally become poor?! Haha...(any of you who wants to send your donation to our family may ir be in goods or money, just send a message to me. tnx!)

Actually, the idea of having odong and misua for our lunch was entirely my idea! Have I gone mad?! I could have chosen spare ribs and roasted chicken for my lunch! The truth, I have not gone mad. I just want to savor the food that's keeping the poor people in our country alive.

Yes, it's a fact that almost everyday, the poor people in our country have these dishes for lunch. Maybe not only lunch. Maybe it's their breakfast and dinner as well. This is a fact that our country cannot hide from the people that keeps on visiting our country for their own benefits.

Poverty. As defined in the Webster's Dictionary for Students, it is a condition of being poor; lack of money or possessions; lack of something undesirable. From the definition itself, I'm sure that the rich people right now, would never dream of becoming one of the people to experience poverty. Well, I'm not clearly attacking the rich people as of this moment. I just want to clarify the problem that our fellow Filipinos are facing. In line with poverty, there are some problems also that our fellow Filipinos are facing, i.e lack of job employment, lack of proper education, lack of financial assistance, and the belief of the promised programs of our government officials.

The lack of job employment. This is a problem that our fellow hopeful Filipinos are facing almost everyday just to find a suiting job that will aid their everyday financial problem. Lack of proper education. Because of the endearing problem of money, our fellowmen cannot attain a good kind of education that will gradually help their status. Lack of financial assistance. Because there is no permanent job or something that can help the family's status, there is also no permanent income and financial status. And last, the belief of the promised programs of our government officials. This is a widely seen problem. There are government officials that keeps on promising to help or fellow Filipinos during their campaigns but when they get elected, every promised program will all go to the trash bin.

All of these are facts that have been widely distributed in the media. Facts that really are happening. Facts that makes me wonder why these things happen. Facts that our government officials must really look on to and not on their own benefit programs. There are some that keeps on helping our fellowmen. There are also some that helps for the moment, but will forget as the year goes on. Let's try to look and ponder these things. Our fellow Filipinos are experiencing it. Let's not forget our fellowmen.

So the next time you see an odong or misua dish, try it. And feel the emotions that our fellow Filipinos are having.

those brief moments...

2007-05-30T12:15:00.000+08:00

Ever imagined yourself going up to the stage, wearing your toga, people staring at you, and you flashing an oh so big smile ready to take your diploma as a medical practitioner? If not, then you don't dream of becoming a doctor. Haha... Well, these are the moments that I keep on imagining because it's really been a dream for me to become a successful surgeon someday.

4 years in college, 4 years in med-school, and almost 2 years preparing for the bar exam. 10 years is the time span of becoming a successful doctor. So, if I really will proceed to medicine and to gradually finish the degree, I will be 26 at that time. Well, a very long way to go. 10 years. Am I ready to take up the 10 years of my life just to study medicine and to fulfill my lifelong dream? My answer, YES!

Whatever it takes to be a successful surgeon, I'm ready for it. I don't care if it's hard or if it's only for the intellectuals but all I know is that I can do it. I'm ready to fulfill my dream. If I cannot fulfill it, I may be disheartened in the future. Just imagine yourself not fulfilling the dream that you have been dreaming of since you were a kid. The result, you will not be happy with the job that you will be working on after your schooling life.

I really want to feel those moments when I will be a graduate of medicine. Those moments when your parents, relatives, and friends, will tell you that they are proud of you. Those moments are the moments that I want to be in the future. Those moments will be my guide as I carry on the challenge of being a successful person someday. And someday, I know I will become a successful surgeon.

the last week of my summer...

2007-05-28T11:50:00.000+08:00

Today, May 28, 2007, marks the last week of my summer '07. Next week, June 4, 2007, our classes will now officially start and I as a junior last school year, will be an official senior. Shit! 1 week to go and I still have a lot of things going on my mind. Am I prepared to face a new challenge that awaits my life? Honestly, I don't know. Expect the unexpected I guess.

Fine, fine. I should have made the most of my summer days because this school year will definitely be an exhausting one. With all the academic stuff that we have to deal and also those extra-curricular activities that makes my sched look shit and we also have to deal stuff like conflicts within friends and all that stuff. Another tiring year is here to come and again I will become stressed and depressed that again I want to hang myself inside my room!

So ok. I'm a bit exaggerating. The truth is, I just don't want to go back to school. Is there any time-stopper there? Or is there anyone that has the superpower of Hiro in the series "Heroes?" If there is one, could you help me.So again, I'm exaggerating. I really just don't want to go back to school yet. I should have prepared so that this last week will not look like hell.

This final week, will be the make or break of my summer. If I have done the things that I want and also to be prepared for the starting of classes. I must be prepared. I'm always prepared. As one of my Filipino motto goes: "Bahala na." In English, "come what may." So come what may it is. I don't know what exactly will happen so, "bahala na si batman."

I know I will get busy this school year but I will make it a habit to keep on posting on my two blogs. Nothing can stop me from blogging! Haha..
So that's basically it for the last week of my summer. I just hope that I will get prepared until the last hour of my summer. Hopefully...

after how many days...

2007-05-26T23:12:00.000+08:00

After how many days! I'm back to CYBERSPACE! I was gone for about two weeks and it is because of the renovation of the room where our PC is. And now, the renovation is done, I can now visit my intellectual properties in cyberspace! Weee! Haha...

Well, not going to cyberspace for about two weeks is kinda hell! I have no contact to the cyberspace and it feels like there's something lacking in my daily activities. Well, blogging, is now one of my daily activities. And I'm happy that I can now post to my blog! Hehe...

I learned many things that we could get from blogging, one is that we could make blogging as one of our emotional outlets or one of our intellectual outlets. As my friend Renz said, "In blogging, it's like you are talking to someone." This one is surely right because when we post, we are actually telling to other people what thoughts we have as of the moment. It's a means of letting out the emotions that we have. Another thing that we could get from blogging is having online friends. There are many kinds of friends. And online friends are those friends that's kinda fun to have because you make friends with people around the globe!

I can say that I'm really hooked up with blogging and I will still be because in blogging, I can be myself and I can express myself well.

life is a party!

2007-05-18T16:54:00.000+08:00

Could you imagine how our life can get wild? As I was reminiscing through some of the things that have happened in my life, I really can say that my life is wild. So wild that I can compare a jungle full of wild animals to my life. And with this. I describe my life as a never-ending party!

My life is a party! Sometimes I'm dancing to the groovy beat that the d.j. is playing. And sometimes, I feel like crying because of the mellow song that the d.j is playing. Nevertheless, the party is fun! My life is fun! Despite the problems and challenges that I have. I can still say that my life is fun. I have a good coping mechanism kasi, that's why I tend to be happy even though I'm really not. I also have many friends that helps me when I have a problem. They accompany me to the party, my life. They cheer me up when I am sad. And they also laugh with me through the happy moments that I have in my life.

I do believe that our lives are great despite those negative things that are lurking around. If we become sad because of these negative things, we must think of things that will help us in coping up with the things that are happening in our lives. Listening to music per Se can help us in coping with our problems. This is because when we have problems, our emotions are the affected. So by listening to music, our emotions will be at ease and we can easily cope up. Another coping mechanism we can do is letting our emotions flow out. We can let it flow out through the outlets that are available to us. Like writing journals in blogs. This can help. All we need is to just to be free-flowing so that what's inside our heart can easily come out. Their are other coping mechanisms that can help us in coping with the problems and challenges that we have.

Let's all enjoy life's party! Let's be happy and forget all those negative things that are happening in our lives. Let's be happy with the party of our lives. Parties are intended to be fun. Parties are not intended to be sad. Let's all dance to the groove with the songs that are played in our lives. So let's be happy and let's party all through our lives!

(P.S. try listening to the first track of my imeem playlist. This was the song that inspired me in writing this post.)

a star in the dark sky...

2007-05-18T10:25:00.000+08:00

Before, when I was still a kid, I asked my parents about myself. My mom then told me this story, "You know, you were just a star before. Twinkling and adding shimmer to the dark sky. Then one day, God decided to make you a human." I then replied, "Why did he do that? I have a nice job out there. Just twinkling and making people happy." My mom then eagerly replied, "Well, there's a reason for that. God knows the reason for that."

I was dwelling on that last statement of my mom through the years. I was even thinking that God is rude because He made me suffer here on earth and not considering that I am happy being a star. I sometimes wish that I can go back being a star. But I know it's still a long way to go.

On this present day, almost all of us have a lot of problems. We sometimes want to escape these problems so that we can't feel the pain that accompanies the problem if we try to solve it. I myself want to escape these problems. But I can't. A problem is not just pencil mark on a paper that can be erased anytime. A problem needs to be taken seriously. I often think it's unfair. Because smaller kids experience less problems. But I then figured out my own thought. It's because through these years of our life, God wants to challenge us. He wants to see how we react on the problems that we have. But of course, God does not give problems that we cannot endure. He wants to see if we're really determined on solving these problems. In that way, He knows we'll bu successful someday.

Going back to the last statement of my mom, I then think that my mom was right. There's really a reason for everything. Every challenge, problem, and even the happy moments we have has a reason. God knows each and every reason to the things that happen in our life. If we're intended to lose the lottery, then there's a reason for that. If we're intended to to get really sick, then there's also a reason for that.

Now I know why God chose us to become humans apart from being stars. It's because when we finish successfully each problem we have here on earth, He knows we're already ready to go back to the dark sky and again to twinkle some more. For we followed every reason and plan that God prepared for us. And by going back to being a star, we inspire more people to do their best in everything, To let them know that there is hope in every challenge in our lives. And to let them know also that, in a dark sky, there's always a star ready to twinkle.

at summer's end...

2007-05-10T12:04:00.000+08:00

My summer's gonna end in about 25 days as of the moment. This is because our classes will start on June 4. Kinda early though. But our classes surely will start early because we also ended early last March. I really don't want to end my summer yet. I'm not yet prepared to start a new school year. Especially this year that I will be a graduating student. And I will prepare for my college life. Hmmm... This year, I'm not excited to go back to school yet. Kinda weird because the past years I'm really excited in going back to school. But this time I'm not. Hmmm...

I'm also a little bit sad because there are really no exciting things that happened during my summer. My summer, mainly, is made up of dvd marathons, texting, surfing the net, blogging, sleeping and the usual stuff that we people do when we don't have anything to do. You know the boring stuff. And to make the description easy, my summer is...boring.

Quite sad but putting that away, I learned some new things this summer. I learned how to customize my blog, I learned many things from the movies and series that I have been watching these past few days, and I also learned many things from myself. I also started my dilemma on what course I will choose when I get to college.

Maybe, this summer was made for me to know more about myself. To learn the things that I haven't yet learned. To be knowledgeable on certain things that can aid my feature learnings. And to be prepared for the new things that will come my way this new school year.

So am I really prepared for the new school year? I think so... Cause I am I now prepared and it's because of my learnings during these summer days of mine.

SULAT 101

2007-04-30T17:44:00.000+08:00

Sana naman matanggap mo
Ang mga sulat ko sa iyo
Na galing sa puso ko
At inaalay sa iyo.

At kahit na mapagod ang aking mga kamay.
Sa kasusulat ng mga munting alay, hindi ako masisisi
Lahat ng ito'y para sa iyo
Para sa iyo.

Ang bawat linya'y may kahulugan
Na sanay iyong maibigan
At sana lang iyong mapansin
Na pagmamahal kong di na kayang pigilin.

Hindi ko naman sinasadya
Kung napapangitan ka
O nakokornihan ka
Sa mga linyang iyong nabasa.

Ang sa akin lang ay huwag mong ibalewala
Mga salitang aking sinisinta
At mga salitang para sa iyo lamang
Sa iyo lamang.

counterpart...

Many people have been addicted to Korean dramas as of this moment. People with different nationalities and interests come up to have something common within them. And its being addicted to Korean dramas. Dramas that are in a form of a series or a movie. And honestly, I too am an addict to Korean dramas.

Yes you've heard me right. I'm an addict to Korean dramas. It's a mere fact that almost all Korean drama addicts are girls. Girls of different ages watching different Korean dramas with different themes. And considering this fact, I'm the absolute counterpart of those girls! Haha...

You may wonder why I am addicted to these dramas. It's because these dramas depicts stories that may have happened or may happen in our lives. Every new story I get to watch brings a different story with different characters with different characteristics that may resemble to some people in this world. I also get to learn something from these dramas.

Korean dramas are fun, nice, touching, and they really focus on a value. So if your interested, try some of these dramas that I have already watched. After you see that movie or series, deel free to give me a comment whether you liked or did not liked the drama:

*Princess Hours/Goong

*Full House

*Spring Waltz

*What Star Are You

*My Girl

coping up with stress...

.:.kim_07 logging in.:.

Arrggh! I'm really having a hard time coping up with my stress! Arrggh! Ang rami na ng factors ng aking pagiging emotionally unstable.. Isa pa ang akinbg high school life! I really can't get over this without having a time for relaxation for just one day.

I'm also a person that needs to have rest. Akala siguro ng iba na hindi ako napapagod. Panay rin kasi ang tawa ko. Dinadaan ko lang kasi sa mga tawa ang lahat ng aking problema. Arrggh! Getting emotional right now.

Pagod na rin talaga ako. Sa family matters, sa school, sa peer pressure most specially. Haaii... I wish that I can have a rest day! We students can also get tired. Grabe. Ang hirap talagang mabuhay in a life na hindi ka pa masyadong sanay. Uhmmm... Inspired ata ako.. Thanks kay kuya Kenan na nasa Belfast ngayon.. you inspired me with your journal sa friendster..hehe...

Lapit na rin ang Christmas. Wala pa akong money.. Haaii... Kapoi oi! Grabe! I'm really getting crazy bout this matter! But I know I can get over with this. I just need to be versatile in everything. Kung sa bagay.. Nagiging masaya ang isang tao by being able to cope up with his problems.

Well eniweiz.. Next time ulit..

manila escapade 2006!

2006-11-10T21:33:00.000+08:00

.:.kim L.C logging in.:.

Gosh! IISDC 2006 is now over! Back to school na naman kami! haay... gosh! This experience was really a roller coster ride for me. I neraly can't come to this event for the premise that I got sick before the SMAD team will altogether go to Manila! Kung bakit naman kasi masakitin akong bata! haha... Well enough for that matter. I'm super happy kasi kahit papano nakahabol ako. Thanks to the help of the people who pushed me to through this. haha... luv ya guyz!

Grabe! Ang hirap pala mag-nationals ulit. It's even more harder this year. Grabe talaga ang experience na ito for me. I learned so many things at the same time I also had enjoyed this year. Who wiould noy enjoy this event that we had the chance to go to some malls here. haha... Well, enough for the malls matter. hehe... I'm trying to make you a little jealous guyz! haha...

On the debate matter, I've learned many things from my second year in the IISDC. Things that made me a strong person in a way that I have learned to get up when I fall down. Also to the matter that life get's even harder if the people around you is pissing you off! haha... Maybe, other people think that I'm smart becasue of my debating skills. But I'm really not. Come to think of it, our team (SMAD D-Me and Nitish), got one of the lowest score in the whole tournament. I was totally pissed off because I'm a senior debater and it only shows that I really didn't improve! I even thought that I will not again come to this event next year. But it gave me a realization about what life really is. It's on how you take up each challenge that comes into your way. And when you finish each challenge, you'll then say that you are reall a strong person.

This event really gave me a lot of learning and realizations. I'm really gonna join again this event next year!

on the verge of dying...

2006-10-28T16:36:00.000+08:00

I can't forget this day. This is the day that I really wanted to commit suicide. But I turned away from it. Seems like it's not yet my time to die. Well thanks to a couple of friends who kinda advised me not to kill myself over a non-reasonable reason. Well I kinda still want to contiune my life. I was saying hours ago that I want to end my life. But now realizing it, there's more that my life can give me. I'm saying this maybe the fact that I'm experiencing a lot of problems and also peer pressure. I really can't avoid that. We can't avoid problems. Without these problems, we cannot be successful in the future. Well, kinda a boring thing for anyone. But believe me, when you get to think of it, you too can feel what I feel right now.

I'm quite happy that I started this blog quite right. Hope to write some more in the future.
