It's PENGUINLY-Possible!

It’s Thursday…we have no classes… meron daw kasing upcoming typhoon that will directly hit Manila. What’s weird and surprising is that…wala namang ulan..ang init-init nga eh!. Pero it’s cloudy outside..so siguro mamayang gabi or bukas…buti nalang wala ulit pasok bukas kaya mahaba ang aking rest. Pero syempre, nakakamiss ring pumasok..hehe..kakamiss ang UST.. (.__”__.)

Today..we watched HAPPY FEET at SM Megamall. At last!..I really wanted to watch that movie kasi ang cute talaga..lalo na nung mga main star na penguins sa movie. Kahit na cartoons yun..okie lang..i’m still young pa naman eh..hehe.. Ang cute talaga nina Mumble and Gloria..lalo na nung mga baby penguins pa sila..ang cute nila maglakad..hehe..ito nga eh..I took some pictures of them while inside the cinema… (.__”__.)

Here’s Gloria…

And Mumble…

I’ve got loads of moral lessons that I’ve learned from the movie:
First, we should learn how to give importance to the lives of our animals…especially when they’re already at the point of being endangered..or worst..extinct. In the movie, people go to Arctic countries para kumuha ng mga fishes to sell them in the city without thinking na may ibang animals na umaasa sa mga fish na ito which serves as their food. As a result, starvation strikes the community…

Second, I’m really touched sa attitude na pinakita ni Mumble sa kanyang parents pati na rin sa mga kasamahan niya. Despite of their situation, he went to look out for reasons why they’re running out of food, not just for his own good..but for the good of the whole community. This can also be applied to real life situations. In our life, we must not just wait for some things to happen, we must move..get out from our place and search for answers to our questions.

And lastly, we must learn how to accept every person even though they look or act differently from others. In the movie, Mumble doesn’t know how to sing well..not like others whose strong point is singing. Pero magaling naman siyang sumayaw..really good! Meron siyang “Happy Feet”..hehe.. but still..hindi parin maiiwasan yung discrimination sa kanya..because he’s different from others.

..nag-enjoy tlaga ako sa panonood.. It’s a thumbs-up movie..a must see! (=

I'm soo happy today...actually..happy kami ngayon ng aking friend. Hehe..nagpprogress kasi kami sa aming mga plans! Nakakastep 2 na ako.. sa loob ng 1 month... (.__"__.)

Bago ang lahat, share ko muna yung mga happenings ko today sa school. First subject palang namin..which is Filipino, lucky na agad ako. Meron kasi kaming surprise Graded Recitation. I was soo surprised talaga kasi hindi ako masyadong nakapagreview. Pero I've done my reviewer na for those topics during our last discussion. So, noong time ko na para sumagot..nagpray muna ako..hehe..syempre..prayer na sana makuha ko yung question na pinag-aralan ko. I've got question number 1..I got nervous..tungkol sa aspects ng economy ang nakuha kong question.

Me: "Naku..lagot na..hindi ko nabasa to. Wait, flashback muna doon sa mga napag-aralan ko sa Economics noong 4th yr. highschool ako.."

Professor: " Okay.. oh..ano sagot..isipin mong mabuti.."

Me: "Produksyon"

Professor: "aba..magaling. Tama ang sagot mo" (.__"__.)

Hehe..talagang dapat may script pa eh. Buti nalang hindi ako zero sa aming first graded recitation. Jesus heard my prayers and he granted it. Thank You po!

Mga 10am tapos na classes namin. Eat muna kami sa lovelite and then..syempre..go straight sa gym. Obvious na naman yun eh..hehe! Pagpunta namin doon, practices was over! (Sayang!) Pero nandoon yung ibang players namely: Dylan, Jojo, Chester ska marami pa. Hindi nalang muna kami umalis doon kasi wala rin naman kami pupuntahan..nood
nalang ng practice ng women's basketball team.

After 15 minutes, umalis na sila..kasi may game pa sila sa PBL..ang venue ata doon sa may Greenhills, San Juan. Tapos after 5 minutes, bumalik si Dylan..naiwan niya kasi yung bag niya eh. Na-excite tuloy kami ni Joan..kaya nung dumaan siya sa tapat namin..kinausap na agad ni Joan kung maglalaro siya sa PBL mamaya..oh diba..lakas ng loob ng aking bestfriend. hehe! Ako..nakasmile lang..nAkikinig...yeah right...ganon talaga ako eh.. Masaya na talaga ako kapag nakikita ko siya sa loob ng USTe…simpleng tao… hehe.. Ang tanging nasabi ko lang ay…… “cge, goodluck mamaya and ingat!” (buti nalang narinig niya ako..nagsmile sa akin eh..hehe..)

Haaay..we don’t need the help of bestfriend Dane pala eh..hehe.. joke lang.. ah basta..bait talaga ni Dylan.. Lagi na nga namin siya nkikita sa UST eh.. Naglaro naman siya kanina sa game..kaya lang, ganon talaga eh…the team was not that lucky enough.. =( That’s okie..basta hold on to the usual saying na: “Try and Try until you Succeed…”


** ..by the way.. I’m glad to see this person today who makes me inspired ONCE a week…

…I want to watch… HAPPY FEET!...

Happy Feet... cute penguins.. I hope to watch Happy Feet on widescreen, soon!

I’m back! I’ve got loads to share in here..I’ve ran out of time kasi to go online here kasi busy. Busy watching basketball games, busy transferring notes for each subject, busy watching Pinoy Dream Academy, busy sleeping and eating, etc. See, I’ve got loads to do - - everyday - - kaya hindi ko na talaga nagawang magblog. So, as a result, naipon ang aking mga ikukuwento… so.. where should I start? Hmmmm…

Today, it's my PE day. I'm really enjoying my Social Dance class..and..I'm really improving on those cha-cha steps. I'm starting to be a good dancer. Buti nalang, mabait yung naging partner ko..so..hassle-free! Galing rin niyang sumayaw, so no problem talaga. And besides, our PE uniform is nice..I love wearing it on Friday afternoons. Pero, pagod na pagod ako ngayon..mahirap kasing umikot ng umikot and..sobrang complex ng mga steps.

While were having our PE classes..I can't resist to look at my watch..
"Shocks..2:30pm na..sana maaga kaming idismiss ngayon.."
"Hala..3pm na..traffic pa naman.."
kasi naman..may game ang UST kanina sa Homegrown invitational cup. They're up against the varsities of the Unibersidad ng Pilipinas. Hindi ko nga napanood eh kasi PE ko ngayon..pero happy narin ako kasi even though I'm not able to watch it on TV..Joan was able to keep me updated through her text messages. Buti nalang..fan na fan kami pareho ng basketball kaya sobrang excited kami everytime may game...hindi pala ako nag-iisa..hehe..(.__"__.)

At last, UST won at this league. Sobrang tagal ko rin hinintay ang moment na to.. i thought they will lose again..and again...hanggang sa hintayin na lang nila ang UAAP season 70. Thank God, they focused on this game..and Jervy Cruz was there to save the day..heaven-sent talaga siya sa team! Of course..some players were also there to contribute some of their winning shots namely cortez, gile..(yikee Joan!) tapos yung iba hindi ko na kilala..mga unidentified...hehe..

Speaking of basketball, let's go on to the funny side of our story. Last Thursday kasi..meron kaming vacant time from 9 to 10am. So, meaning, wala kaming klase. Me and Joan decided to go to the gym para panooring magpractice ang mga players and para maentertain na rin..lalo na kapag tumitingin kami doon sa mga stolen shots ng mga players mula sa mga newspaper cut-outs pictures. Sobrang stolen...narereveal tuloy ang kanilang mga identities..may ballerina look-a-like, dolphin and.. "tooot"..hehehehe..tingnan niyo nalang doon sa may gym...sobrang tatawa kayo..you'll even wish na sana may copy kayo ng mga pictures na yun..hahahaha!!

And then..pagkakita namin sa mga nagppractice..wala yung mga pipol na reasons namin kung bakit kami nandoon. Wala sina Dylan Ababou, Japs Cuan at yung iba pang mga team A players..halos lahat yung mga nasa team B yung nagppractice... Pero nandoon naman ang lovelife ni Joan na si Gile..hehe..may crush kay ho-an..yikee! I wanted to go out na nga eh kaya lang ayaw pumayag ni Joan..kulang pa daw ang moment na yun para sa kanila..hehe..uyyy..joke lang hah. **peace** walang katotohanan yung mga crushy thingy. Pero sa totoo lang, medyo scary yung player na yun kasi naalala niya ata kaming dalawa..basta..long story! It all began sa 4th floor corridor ng aming building. And as a product, may bagong love story na nabubuo..hehe..

Sometimes, I'm beginning to ask myself..why am I an "avid basketball aficionado?" ..really weird... can't controll myself to watch every games they had. I even consider myself to be lucky kasi almost everyday ko sila nakikita sa aming building..same course kasi eh. Kung hindi, baka "once in a blue moon" ko lang sila makita..hehe.. As of now, hindi ko pa alam ang true reason kung bakit..hindi naman ako nag-iisa eh..I'm just showing them my support, and it's not bad naman. I still know my limitations and hindi naman ako sobrang fanatic... I'm still doings things moderately. Basta support natin ang UST-growling tigers sa UAAP and Korn Kernels-UST Popkings sa PBL hah..thank you!

It's not "thank God it's Friday" for me..may pasok pa kasi ako bukas eh..pero it's alright..I'm having fun naman at school eh. And besides konti lang ang subjects ko for tomorrow =) ..masaya talagang maging college freshman. Basta wag lang akong maleyt..muntik na naman kasi akong maleyt sa class ko kanina. whew! may motorcade kasi is "Pacman" sa buong Manila this morning..buti nalang hindi ako naabutan..(.__"__.)

Cge, till here nalang muna..medyo madami na rin akong nashare... gusto ko talaga manood ng Happy Feet..hmmmm..yayain ko nga si Mommy.. ang cute kasi ng movie eh.. isa sa mga favorite pets ko pa naman ang penguins..they're soo pretty! (.__"__.) Cge..bye-bye.

..I just can't help but wonder...

There'll come a day

When the world stops turning

And stars will fall from the sky

But this feeling will last

When the sun stops burning

All I wanna do is love you

Till the end of time.

... It seems like I'm being carried away by this song - - getting inspired as the lyrics keeps on sinking in my mind. It was a song sang by Britney Spears which speaks about unending love..which will last forever.

So while I'm listening to this song, I'm planning to share something here...(.__"__.) Might as well, I'll be more inspired by the end of my blog..

It's Monday..start of another exciting and surprising week as a 1st year college student. Every week kasi lagi nalang may mga magagandang things na nangyayari sa akin sa loob ng university. Kaya, I'm looking forward to another week..again and again! Kaya lang sa sobrang saya ko kasi Monday na ulit, muntik na akong maleyt. 5 minutes nalang English time na namin. Nakasabay ko pa nga si Sir Mattias (english professor) sa 4th floor hallway ng aming building. I got nervous.. I don't want to be late and have a grand entrance in his class..catch him looking at me with mixed doubt and irritation. Kaya binilisan ko talaga lakad ko. Thank God he went the other way and used the elevator to go down sa faculty room nila. haaayy!... buti nalang!

Actually, may usapan pa kami ni Joan na aagahan namin pumasok para pumunta sa gym kasi may practice nga yung mga players. Last Saturday kasi ang aga ko sa school..so I passed by sa gym and saw the players having their basketball practice. Nakita ko pa nga si Dylan eh..wala na siyang sprain..hehe.. (.__"__.) As usual, super early ni Joan sa school..kaya lang medyo tinamad daw siya pumunta kasi ang layo.. based on my estimations..mga 200 steps bago ka maging successful na makaarrive sa may gym..ehehe...kaya wag nalang. Saka wala pa ako eh, dapat sabay kami para mas lucky. Don't worry..may vacant time kami sa morning bukas..so bukas nlang namin itutuloy ang aming mga plans.

Marami na naman akong natutunan sa aming Psychology class kanina. Since intellect and will ang aming topic..I heard these words again.. "Freedom is not doing what you want, but doing things that you must do." That's really true.. God gave us our intellect for us to know which is right from wrong and to choose and decide on things that can lead us to something good. He also gave us our will in order to freely decide if we will follow what our intellect tells us or not.

Most of time, we are the ones who plan our destinies..God only shows us different paths--different situations where we can be able to live our life to the fullest. If ever we fail to choose the best one for us..God will still be there..helping us to stand-up again, giving us another chance to make another good decision. He leads us..but still we have the controll. So we must be wise in using our freedom. To choose what's best for us - - to choose what's good for us.

And then, kanina nagkaroon kami ng surprise quiz sa Math of Investment subject. Fortunately, I studied last night so wala akong masyadong problem doon.

The problem was this... nagtanong si sir Elenzano kung sino yung walang dalang calculator. 2 of my classmates didnt brought their gadgets...as a consequence... hindi pinayagan na gumamit ng calculator ang buong class. Imagine!! puro computations yung mga problems na ipapasolve sa amin..may mga fractions and decimals pa nga..tapos nde kami gagamit ng calculator? The decision was not that fair enough..but still, we have no choice but to suffer the consequences.

Well, that's it! I spent my day productively naman. After this, I'll read my notes for tomorrow's subjects..can't wait for tomorrow.. still feeling weird.. don't know what's in-store for me tomorrow. Let's just wait and see.. (.__"__.)

It's drizzling outside..not a good weather for this day! I dont want drizzles.. mas nakakapagpasakit kasi eh. I hope I wont get any fever, coughs or colds. Not at this time! So, kelangang magtake ng everyday multi-vitamins kasi maraming pang mga things to do and activities that requires my presence..hehe..and of course pati rin sa studies, kelangan nakafocus. Good thing our quiz for Filipino early this morning was a little bit easy. Almost multiple choice and matching type, True or False, Essay..hehe..so I think I can be able to get a score near to 100%.

As for this day, I started it fine naman. No pressures...masaya ang class namin for this day. Meron pa ngang naligaw na mga irregular students sa Ecology class namin. Hmmmmmm..."whose that digimons?!"..hahaha.. (.__"__.) maiba naman..kasi lagi nalang whose that pokemons ang ginagamit naming magkakafriends. Oooopppsss..hindi kami mean! We're just using that term to describe the new ones na nakikita namin sa classroom. Mga irregulars kasi sila. We're not that bad naman. Sobrang enjoy talaga kami sa mga jokes namin kanina kahit na corny!

And then History time. Last subject namin with Ms. De Vera. Medyo punta naman tayo sa creepy side ng aming school, in particular sa aming classroom. Kasi years ago meron daw nagcommit ng suicide sa aming present room. Nakakatakot talaga! ....waaaahh! goosebumps! Super lamig pa naman sa room kasi naka-high ang aircon namin everyday. As for me, never akong magpapaiwan na mag-isa sa classroom namin. Mamaya kung ano pa makita ko doon eh..creepy! Let's just pray for her soul na sana rest in peace na siya in heaven. Well, as of now..wala pa namang weird feelings. Sana wala na talaga hanggang matapos ang 2nd semester.

And then nung uwian, merong meeting para sa A-cause-tik project ng Precom Society, Scarlet and Red Cross Organizations that will be held this coming Saturday sa may Education Auditorium. I got a little bit irritated sa isang ate doon na naghahandle ng meeting. Nagmamake-face kasi siya sa amin when we arrived late due to our classes. Wala lang. Actually..sarap magwalk-out kaya lang, syempre, need parin ng respect. So I just controlled myself and pinagpasensyahan ko nlang. I dont know the reason why she's like that.

UST Korn Kernels had a game again for PBL against HAPEE-PCU in the UST gym. Actually, the game was really hot at the first half..UST was scoring really great. Showing some "real" pride. (.__"__.)


Unfortunately, there was a turn of events. Our team was out-scored and hindi na kami nakahabol. Pero bilib talaga ako sa mga players namin kasi they really gave their best! And buti nalang full support parin ang crowd ng UST kahit ganon na nga ang nagyari. I think the problem was kulang kami sa mga "big men"...wala kasi sina Dylan Ababou, Chester Taylor and Jervy Cruz. Compared to the other team na sobrang laki and tangkad ng majority of the players.

Natuwa lang talaga ako kanina kasi akala ko hindi na makakapaglaro yung favorite player ko sa UST na si Dylan. Bigla nalang kasi siya "missing in action" sa mga games. Yun pala, nasprain yung ankle niya. Finocus nga siya kanina sa TV eh..sobrang tagal ng air time na binigay sa kanya…infairness… cute talaga niya! hehe..so tuwang-tuwa naman kami ni Joan diba?! Mapanood nga ulit yung replay para dun sa particular shot na yun..hehehe... (.__"__.)

Sobrang burned-out na daw yung players. Sunud-sunod kasi ang mga games nila. I think, kelangan na nila igive-up yung isa pang invitational cup (homegrown) na sinalihan nila kasi hindi naman nila kaya igive-up ang PBL. Nakakaawa na talaga sila, they need rest. Sabi nga nila, "When it rains, it pours." Kaya lang bad luck sila ngayon. Anyweiyz..okie lang naman sa akin yun kahit hindi sila nanalo sa PBL at least champion parin ang UST sa UAAP..hindi na mababawi yun. Sabi nga ng mga commentators kanina...they said "YES" sa PBL para narin magserve ito as training ground for the next season sa UAAP to defend there title. Kelangan strong ang team! Yes naman....galing na talaga ng UST Growling Tigers.. pero as of now..

GO UST Poppers!!

Reminiscing the Past....

. . . cge...till here nalang muna! bye!.. (.__"__.)

“Love is not an emotion but a DECISION and a CHOICE”

I heard this during our Psychology subject with our teacher, Sir Franz Cortez. Actually, I heard this several times na pero napaisip talaga ako kanina. It’s really true that Love can “never” be an emotion. It cannot be compared to a certain thing na you’ll just give-up and buy something better when you’re getting tired of it. Love requires lots of responsibilities…we must decide what is right for us and for those people around us and choose the right plan even if it gives us heart-aches and pains. Hindi katulad nina Britney Spears and other Hollywood actors and actresses na after 48 hours..divorce na agad. Ang weird noh?! We must always remember that Love is a commitment and self-sacrificing…just like what Jesus Christ had done for us.


Kanina, medyo late na akong pumasok sa school. Wala naman kasing first subject eh. I think 20 minutes late compared to my usual arrival. Pagdating na pagdating ko palang sa classroom..hindi pa ako nakakaupo noon hah… kwentuhan na agad with Joan (syempre..about sa basketball..hehehe) and with my other blockmates. And then, bigla nalang kinuwento ni Bea na nakita niya ulit si Dylan sa may lobby ng aming building kahapon. Pangalawang beses na niya nakita yun, also at the same spot.


Bakit kaya ganon? How come we don’t even see a glimpse of him standing in front of the bulletin boards in the lobby of our building? Lagi kasi naming hinahanap eh..hehe..dapat pala hindi… para mas lalo nating makita. Reverse psychology daw..para effective. The last time we saw him was last Friday, November 10, 2006 at exactly 12:55pm sa may gym. At nakausap pa namin siya… Naging close na nga agad kami eh..hehe.. (.__”__.) Super bait niya talaga…wala akong masabi…nakakaspeechless! Future bestfriend na nga sabi ni Joan. (haaaay..fast-phasing talaga ang life mo, bestfriend!)


wait lang... nagtext si Joan....hmmmmmmm....katext niya daw si James Martinez ng UE red warriors... uuuyy!!... Sure ka ba na siya yan hah?? He looks nice naman eh. Buti nalang hindi siya mayabang. Sige hah…ikaw nalang muna ang magtext sa kanya kasi baka maubos ang aking load..baka nakaunlimited yan eh.


Back to my previous topic, I cant imagine talaga kung paano pa sila nakakacope up both sa studies and sa mga extra curricular games nila. Nakakaawa na nga yung mga players ng UST team eh. Imagine..4 consecutive days na silang naglalaro for different basketball cups. From Tuesday to Friday! Meron pa kayang natitirang energy sa kanila? They must be really stressed-out kaya hindi na talaga sila makapagconcentrate..of course studies parin yung priorities nila kaya siguro ganon nalang ang outcome ng mga games. Kanina nga lang may game ang UST vs La Salle sa Ultra. Hindi nalang ako magcocomment about that hah…secret nalang kung sinong nanalo…(.__”__.) And then tomorrow may game ang UST-Korn Kernels for PBL… oooh..I’m gonna watch again..pero sa TV nalang muna. I wish all the players goodluck! Kaya niyo yan..Go USTe.. godbless!


As of now, I’m really excited na for the Christmas Season. Here in our place, Christmas lanterns and decorations were already designed by our neighbors. Inside our home, meron nang Christmas Tree. This week-end, I’ll help my Mom put up the Christmas lights on our doors and windows para feel na feel na talaga ang Christmas spirit.


Sige hah..till here nalang muna. I have to study pa for our first quiz sa Filipino for tomorrow. Sabi kasi ni Ma’am..she’s expecting us to get 100% for our quiz…memorization kasi eh…wish me luck! (.__”__.)



TO JOAN:

Hi Joan!...thanks for welcoming me in your blog dito sa blogspot.
Alam ko naman busy ka diyan?..hehehe...katext mo pa ba?
Sige hah..bigay mo rin sa akin yung no. niya bukas..hehe..joke lang…pero sige bigay mo narin, hindi ko naman masyado ittxt siya eh. At least alam ko.
Pero pag si Dylan yan…bibili ako ng maraming load—no second thoughts pa!
Goodluck sa ating first quiz for the second semester bukas—Filipino pa!
Godbless you and nytie bestfriend! **mwaaah**

Start of something new...

Finally... I have a blog of my own now!.. I'm really, really excited to post some happenings here. Kaya lang as of now..wala masyado eh. I just went to school early..due to my new morning session. I almost got late, ang traffic..sobra! I think 10 minutes nalang..I'm late for Filipino. Good thing..I'm very fortunate this day!

And then..I went home early. Kasi naman may game sa PBL yung UST team. I think, we're not that lucky enough kasi we lost..huhu.. really depressing..kasi since nung nagchampion kami for UAAP...wala nang winning games ang UST..laging talo?. Why? I dont know.

Pero looking at the positive side.. UST is the only team who made it all the way to PBL Silver Cup in the history of UAAP and NCAA teams..oha!.. kaya niyo yun! So pinapakita lang talaga na the team can handle the games even if some players from other teams are veterans and exemplary. And Oh..by the way, Korn Kernels-UST Tigers is my bet!

Enough of baskteball talk. Let's see.. Wala naman masyadong heavy loaded assignments for the day. No Sir Mattias for tommorow! (.__"__.) (So no pressuring English subject) and UST vs. DLSU sa Homegrown cup bukas...

I'm excited..can't wait!
