Eyes Opened

Before I go home at the dorm, I went to Central Plaza to see the man of the moment, Jun Lozada. I finally saw “the man” whom I usually see on TV. He visited our school to say what he wants to say, like what he does in the other schools. (By the way, I’m not pro nor against him. I went there just because I wanted to see him in person, because I’m curious about how he looks like.) He was on the stage, answering the questions of the people, whether a student or a professor, or a media person. As I stood there listening to him, I realized that this new issue in the Philippines today is now a part of our history…that today’s generation, our generation, is included in its latest chapter. I’m really glad because we (our generation) are becoming aware of what’s happening in our country, for the reason that we want a better future. It leaves me a good feeling because we are now trying to make a stand and we make ways to reach out to let our voices be heard. I hope it will never stop there as we put our words into actions. Let’s make a difference. Let’s make history. =)

The Crammer

Actually, I have lots of things to do and I haven't started yet. I don't feel like doing them so I guess I'll cram again tomorrow, even if there's no classes on Monday. I want to finish everything tomorrow--- the critic paper, the revision of our ECEDLOG powerpoint presentation, the interview, the observation and the lesson plan thing...as in everything! Then on Monday, I'll just rest and study for our chemistry midterms. Oh, and speaking of chemistry, I suddenly remember that I have to watch this documentary by Al Gore and write a reaction paper regarding it. Whew. I can do them! Aja! Aja! =)

Night night everyone! =)

Good-bye Goldie! Good-bye Bubbles!

I lost two dogs this month. Goldie passed away three weeks ago while Bubbles, she passed away this morning. I felt guilty because I never had the chance to play with them and feed them. They were really such adorable dogs. Too bad, I wasn't able to take their pictures. The aura at home seems different because they're gone. I will definitely miss them. Good-bye Goldie! Good-bye Bubbles! Your memory will always remain with us...thank you for all the help you gave us...for being watchful, obedient, and great dogs... We know that the both of you are happy, wherever you are right now. We heart the both of you!

*Now let's go to the brighter side...I dreamt about the person whom I admire two nights ago (actually, he always appears in my dreams now). In my dream, he's with a girl and they're super sweet. The girl is beautiful and they look good together. Waa! In reality, when I see him, he's always alone (that is...only by himself...no girl/s beside him) but I think...he likes someone. Yes, he likes someone and I feel that she's as beautiful as the girl I saw in my dream! Waa! In addition to that, I dreamt about him last night too...he just walked by. Cutie. Haha. Waa!*

One Big Truth is All We Need

Ever since Jun Lozada entered in the picture of Philippine politics, many have raised their eyebrows and asked themselves, “Who is this man?” Nobody knows him from the start, but now, he is more popular than Marimar and other teleserye characters in the primetime television. He is the most controversial and most- talked about person in the town today besides his opponent, Ben Abalos. He is “The Star Witness” of the ZTE scandal that involves our president, Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo.

I was surprised when I saw the La Sallian Brothers on TV especially Brother Armin, the President of the La Sallian community in the Philippines. I began to wonder: What are they doing there, in the senate, of all places in the Philippines? I never knew that Lozada is a fellow La Sallian because he studied in La Salle Greenhills when he was still younger. The brothers are protecting him because right now, his life is in danger. He asked the brothers to help him because he knows he could count on them, especially in times like this. That is why the whole La Sallian community, is affected by this controversy. Now I know why we always have prayer vigils every night after class at the Amphitheatre. We are only just praying for the truth and nothing more.

One big truth is all we need. I hope the whole truth will come out soon…and I’m also wishing that people would stop going to EDSA to have another People Power. Well hey, aren’t you guys getting tired of going to EDSA? If you could think of other ways to express your love and concern for our country, it would be much better. Three EDSA People Powers are enough okay?



*By the way, please watch TV Patrol tomorrow because the guys from ABS-CBN news and current affairs will be covering the campaign for the truth of the De La Salle University- Manila, College of St. Benilde and St. Scholastica’s College- Manila students. Please support our campaign. Let’s all be united. Let’s all be ONE for the truth. Thank you!*

(this my very first entry I made inside the car all the way from Manila to Calamba)

Senti Mode

It is cold outside and it seems that rain will fall down anytime. I don't know if there would be a typhoon coming because I seldom watch news and I hardly read newspaper nowadays because auntie stopped buying since she went to States. I don't know what's happening in our country and around the world except for the ZTE broadband deal that involves Lozada and Abalos and the latest school shooting in Illinois where there are six people dead. Anyway, this is the perfect time to be in a sentimental mode since the weather is cold. For me, this is the perfect time to think and reflect about some stuff. And of course, this would be more perfect if I have a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallow in my hand. Oh well, I'm just wondering, if you were thinking about someone, is it possible that he or she is thinking about you too? Haay...I hope so.

My twelve friends in school. I love them. My days are always happy and colorful because of them. Thank you my twelve loves. Tasha, we miss you. =)

*By the way, I changed the song in my blog again. The title is One in a Million by Miley Cyrus. She also sang If We Were a Movie, the previous song. Ibabalik ko ulit ang If We Were a Movie...hindi ko lang alam kung kailan. Sa ngayon, One in a Million muna. =)*

S.A.D.

You might think I'm sad today because my title is S.A.D. If you have looked at the date above this entry, today is February 14, 2008. Oh, so today is Valentine's Day. I spent my first valentines in La Salle this year and it's kinda different because I came from an environment where there are no boys (my age) around. I won't elaborate more on that but I hope you get my point. Haha. Going back to S.A.D, it actually stands for Single Awareness Day. Every year, as the sweet couples celebrate happy heart's day, single people celebrate SAD. To stop you from wondering if I were sad, the answer is a big NO. I'm not sad. I never spend my valentines day feeling sad or bitter (though I said I felt bitter towards Mr. Loyalty in my previous entry hahaha) because everyday is a special day. =) Okay, this is all for today. Happy Valentine's Day (or Happy Heart's Day) and Happy Single Awareness Day to everyone! Enjoy! =)

***I finally saw Enchong Dee (actually, I see him every Monday). He's very handsome...that's true. =) He's visible in school these days and I'm very happy! Haha.***

Bitter-Sweet Like the Candy in the Street

Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me get straight to the point. I feel bitter towards Mr. Loyalty. That is his new name, by the way. Bitter! Bitter! Bitter! I don't know if I would cry or laugh. For more than three years, I'm still loyal to him, and I don't know why...pathetic isn't it? Valentines is on Thursday and I know that he would be the happiest guy in the whole wide world...There are a lot of good guys in school...I know some of them...and they are the ideal guy friends that most girls are praying for...but why am I loyal? Is it because I'm still holding on to my past and never letting go? I'm trying hard to forget him! Bitter! Bitter! Bitter! *sob* *sob* *sob* Just kidding. Haha. Anyway, have a very Happy, Sweet, Meaningful, and Romantic Valentines day! =)

Hmmm...What If?

Three or four days ago, I attended the meeting of Mau and her fellow colleagues. I just joined them because I didn’t like to go home (to the dorm) yet. I sat there listening to their views and opinions about the certain issues that happen in our college, which is the College of Education (CED). There were four questions, but the only question that remained in my mind was the first one. Of course, there is this perception that which comes first would be the one being remembered. Well, that is partly true in my case. Haha. Although, I can still remember the other questions, I don’t know why I couldn’t forget the first question: If CED were to be an object, what would it be? Why? They have different answers like crayons and rubrics cube that follow reasonable and sensible reasons. I have my own answer and reason as well, even if I’m not really a part of their meeting. I only kept it in my mind (how generous, not sharing my own thoughts! Haha). Here it goes:


If CED were to be an object, it would be a puzzle. In CED, there are issues and concerns that need to be resolved. The people in the college aren’t united yet. There are still empty spaces that serve as a barrier to each and everyone. Like a puzzle, in order to be called a REAL puzzle, it should be complete. The pieces of the puzzle fill the empty spaces to close the gap among each individual. There shouldn’t be any missing piece. There shouldn’t be one being left behind. When these pieces are already together, they become connected and united, thus producing a wonderful masterpiece.

So this is my reason. I know I can’t be a part of the student council because I feel I don’t have the potential to be a leader. However, if I were to be given a chance to run for a particular position, I would accept it. Oh well, this is my chance to come out of my shell and become a more active student right? This is my chance to fully overcome my shyness. In this way, I can prove something that is beyond the expectations of others; it is like a surprise. I would try my very best to serve my fellow La Sallians. Like what most of the candidates say, a leader serves the people; not the people serve the leader. If I would have my own RTR someday, after saying my script, I would always tell them one thing: I may have a small voice…but I can make a BIG difference. Wow, enough said. And back to my ECEDSED review. Haha. =)
