To all My beloved Friends

magtatapos na ang sem...madaming bagong samahan ang nabuo, madaming lumang samahan ang nagkalumot...pero bago tayo magkahiwahiwalay, nais kong sabihin sa inyo na salamat....salamat sa lahat ng tawanan, iyakan, murahan, sigawan, tampuhan, at pagmamahalan na nadama ko mula sa inyo...kayo...cas-02-101-A...grabeng experience to! ibang klaseng hardcore~ xD

Anyways, siguradong mamimiss natin ang isa't isa...oo kahit ung mga kinaiinisan nio mamimiss nio padin (uuuy wag plastik... xempre mamimiss nio sila kasi mamimiss nio silang kainisan dba? xDD wuhahaha) pero eto ang tandaan nio WALANG MAGBABAGO SA 1ST YIR KABIO NA NAKILALA KO kahit san man kayo mapadpad tayo padin ang orig...magkalaglagas man tayo andito parin kami...para sa mga aalis andito kami kung gusto niong bumalik (mahirap nga lang bumalik academically..pero in means of inspirational, emotional, intellectual, and sociological support mdali lang yan XDD)..sama sama natin paring haharapin ang takbo ng college life..

Alam kong mdaming isyu na nabuo nitong first sem plang..pero ung mga isyung un..lalo na ung mga super seryoso..sana matutong magpatawad at ung mga papatawarin lumunok ng pride...lam nio, pride destroys wellbeing...at sana dun sa mga taong, well, may pagka laitera at laitero, being a good human being means knowing when to shut ur mouth...sana matutunan natin un sa second sem...

kung nagugulat kayo sa mga sinasabi ko wag kaung magulat.. marahil nagiisip kayo, hala eh minsan lang pumasok si iris pake nia sa mga nanyayari? uu nga minsan lang ako pumasok...pero observative ako...mayabang ba ang dating sayo? nako isa yan sa mga naobserbahan ko...di pagyayabang un it's just telling the truth..

ANg turing ko sa bio ay isang pamilya....isang sanctuary..isang place, at grupo ng tao na maituturing kong mga pinakamamahal ko pangalawa sa aking mga magulang at tunay na pamilya...oo atheist ako sa mga nagtatanong...pero di ko binabastos si God niyo gaya ng iniisip niyo..ayoko lang mag isip at umasa sa mga unanswered prayers...o wag kaung mgalet. Trust me, alam ko kung pano magdasal noon at ilang beses ko nang gnwa un...sobra sobrang pagdadasal...wag niyo nang tanungin kung bket ako ngng atheist..sinagot ko na ung tanong mo ah..lam mo na kung sino ka...pero di ko sasabihin kung bket.

So hindi pa nga pla tapos ang sem (sa ngayon), pero sinusulat ko na to. Ayoko kasing maapektuhan ang pananaw ko ng mga magiging grades ko. Hindi ko pa man nakikita alam kong hindi yon aayon sa expectations ko. Kinakabahan ako, oo, kasi alam kong dapat akong kabahan. Paranoid ba kamo? Hindi din; minsan na kasing may nagsabi sa akin na ako lang daw mismo sa sarili ko ang nakakaalam kung dapat ba akong kabahan o hindi. Tama siya, ako nga lang ang nakakaalam; ako nga lang ang nakakaalam na hindi ko nagawa ang lahat ng kaya kong gawin. Naging petiks ako; at ngayon napatunayan ko sa sarili ko na hindi pala petiks ang college life...at kaya mo palang maging seryoso and have fun at the same time.. Kasi kung tutuusin wla pa sa kalingkingan ung mga pinagaaralan naten sa mga pinagaaralan ko nung hs...kayabangan? hindi, sinasabi ko nga na sana kung nde ako nging petiks edi wla akong proproblemahin...kung nde ako nging petiks edi sana ngayon papetiks petiks nlng ako...gets? o sige nakakahilo na yun haha~!~!.

Marami aKOng natutunan, sana kayo din; natutunan kong hindi pala talaga gaya ng mga pelikulang tulad ng 'Bagets' at mga college sitcoms ang college life. Walang malakas na tugtugan, walang mala-high school musical na production numbers at higit sa lahat, walang mga monster geniuses na hindi nakikinig sa prof pag lecture tapos pag tinawag sa recitation nung araw din na yun eh alam ang sagot. Kailangan ko pa atang magpakagat sa isang radioactive na gagamba para lang magkaroon ng ganung super senses. How I wish...

Yun lang muna...may part two pa to..kaso inaatake nanaman ako ni pareng katamaran...sana natutunan nio ding gumawa ng improvised na seatbelt sa ride na tinatawag kong RTU...kasi kung nde, wla kaung laban kay pareng inertia at sa asawa niang si gravity...dahil napatunayan kong nde pala kaya ng centrifugal at centripetal force na pantayan ang pagsasanib kame hame wave nila...

I love you guys...

Ang simula ng pag angal sa mga bagay bagay sa mundo

Pera

Yan naman ang parating problema ng mga tao sa mundo, at halos lahat ng krimen, problema, kalungkutan, at kahit sino man, diyan nag-uugat. Sa simpleng papel na may sukat, kakaibang amoy, at kakaibang mga sulat. Sa simpleng papel na yun, umiikot ang buhay ng tao. Imbis na tayong mga nilalang na gumagalaw at may sariling isip ang nagpapatakbo ng buhay natin, nadadaig tayo ng bagay ng tayo rin naman ang gumawa na kung tutuusin e pwede naman tayong mabuhay ng wala (yun eh kung lahat ng tao walang pera pero kung ikaw lang ang walang pera gudlak sayo xDD0

Teka teka...bago yang mga violet, este violent reactions niyo basahin niyo muna to ng buo; hindi naman kasama sa 3 basic needs ng tao ang pera ah (para sa mga batang ages 3 and below o mga taong may utak na pang ages 3 and below, ang 3 basic needs po ay food, clothing, and shelter). Pero kung ang inaangal niyo eh "diba kelangan ng pera para dun" ang sagot ay OO. Pero bakit ang mga sinaunang tao nabuhay ng walang pera? Sila ang nagproproduce ng mga kailangan nila para sa sarili nila; kahit naman nung panahon ng sistemang barter di ba? Palitan lang ng merchandise?

Kitams! Kaya lang naman nagkaroon din ng polusyon ay dahil sa mga bagay na binibili ng pera. Para sa gawaing nabibili ng pera. Para sa sitwasyong nabibili ng pera. Imagine; nasa yo na lahat ng bagay na pwedeng bilhin ng pera sa mundo at may pera ka pa...tapos nun ano? ano na? wala lang mayaman ka lang. Pag namatay ka ba mabibili mo ba kay god yung posisyon mo sa langit? May hinihingi bang entrance fee si San Pedro para makapasok ka sa gate? Alam ko wala naman diba? Alam ko kasi wala nang kailangang bilhin dun; wala nang kurakot, wala nang nasisilaw sa papel na yun. Lahat libre, lahat maayos, walang sugapa.

Kung tutuusin, masasabi kong nagawa lang naman ang pera dahil sa mga taong sugapa sa mga bagay. Yun bang mga taong greeedy? Tung mga taong walang pakielam sa ibang taong may pangangailangan. kaya yun sigurong taong nagimbento ng pera inisip lang siguro niya yung kapakanan nung mga taong napagiiwanan. Kaso naabuso nanaman ng reincarnation ng mga garapal noon ang pera ngayon. Naabuso kaya naging masama..parang telenobela lang

Tama na nga andrama na tuloy. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ako problemado din sa pera

Epekto ata ng recession xDD

O! dahil nagbasa ka may tax; 20 pesos per word. O, angal ka? eh copyrighted to eh!

diba nakakatakot makasalamuha ng taong ganid sa pera?

pano pa kaya kung ikaw mismo yun?

Tandaan, kasama sa seven deadly sins ang GREED xD

Bagong Simula, Bagong pagkakaibigan

1st year college...

ibang klase pla talaga ang mundo ng kolehiyo...andamign pasikot-sikot...andaming bagong eksena, at maraming bagong dadapaang hagdanan (siguro pramis madadapa nnmn ako ngayong taong ito..hindi lilipas ang taon nang hindi ako nadadapa xDD)

malakas ang hangin nun, 1st day ng klase, papasok na ako. May major outbreak ng isang major na sakit na wla pang major na gamot noon kaya nadelay ng isang linggo ang klase na nagbunsod ng pagkaexcite ko kaya nakalimutan kong dalin ung alcohol ko..

anak ng tokwa...bakit noon pa...


anyways, isinantabi ko muna yun kasi there's no use crying over spilled milk diba? Ika nga nila never say die...pero wlang konek yun dun sa nararamdaman ko kaya nevermind xDD

natunton ko na din ung classroom ko...grabe angtaas wahaha napagod ako sa pag akyat nakalimutan ko kasing may elevator nga pla sa school...pwahaha!!

umupo na ako sa isang upuan sa gitna ng room. Maiingay na ung mga nasa likod ko, marahil nagkakilakilala na sila ng lubusan, pero ako tahimik muna, pa-demure effect...di kasi dpat ilabas ang totoo sa unang araw...baka matakot sila ahahaha!!~~

so dumating na yung teacher namin...grabe ang lakas ng boses niya, sa sobrang lakas parang gusto ko siyang bigyan ng megaphone para naman marinig ko xDD dahil sa first day nga hindi na siya masyadong nagpahaba ng lesson at pumunta na kami ng lab kasi siya din ang guro namin doon.

sa laboratoryo ko nakilala ang isang babaeng magiging malapit ko plang kaibigan sa mga susunod na araw. Cristina ang pangalan niya, Maria Cristina nga sa katotohanan...babaeng babaeng pilipina ang dating no? Diyan ka nagkakamali xD sa umpisa lang yun! After ng lesson lumabas na ang pagka krung-krung niya at ang pagka krung-krung niyang yun ang nagustuhan ko sa kanya xDD

lunchbreak: pinakilala sa akin ni Tina ang isang babaeng kala ko ay suplada; Regine ang pangalan niya at gaya ng katukayo niyang si Regine Velasquez, super hanep din siyang kumanta. Siya din ang nagpaalam sa akin na may choir pla sa school. Salamat Reg tenkyu xDD

umakyat na ulit kami, dumagdag sa grupo si Mitch..ayan buo na kaming apat. Walang pangalan ang grupo namin at ayaw ko nang pangalanan kasi mawawala ang independent personalities namin pag nagkaroon kami ng ganoon. Yun kasi ang hirap pag may pangalan ung grupo niyo, lalo na kung yung pangalan eh katangian or something na nagbibind sa inyo. Mahirap kasing magexpand ang group kung magsstick to the name kami...kaya yun wag nlng xDD

Let's meet the boys...

Una naming nakita noon si Conrad. Una, ang tingin namin sakanya, suplado at mayabang, siya pero after a few days napatunayan naming ganun nga tlga siya. Wahaha jowk lang Conrad! Peace tayo! Lam mo namang mahal kita eh wahaha as a friend lng huy! (may nag aayee kasi sa likod ko, nililinaw ko lng! xD mahal ko lahat ng kaibigan ko syempre wlang malisya yun xD) pero nung mga wednesday siguro hindi na ganoon ang tingin namin sakanya kasi open din naman pla siya for friendship kaya nasama na siya samin. Pagpnta sa mega kasama ng iba pang boys xD

Si Steve naman, nakilala namin nung kalahati ng first day. Hindi kasi siya pumasok nung umaga kasi nagpagupit pa daw siya. Para siyang nawawalang tupa nun ahaha! xD

Si Djowel: silent pero deadly pla (naks wahaha) Siya ata si Mr. Nice Guy ng group pero ewan ko lng ah wahaha peace xDD

Si Raymark: mR skaterboy. ung dude na maraming scandal sa cellphone ahaha peace Mark xD ui hanggang ngayon di ka pa nagbloblow out sa pagkapanalo mo wahahah xDD

Si Jervin: ang guitarista...actually dalawa sila ni mark pero especiality niya ata ung eraserheads xDD

Si Ronald: ang kuya ng grupo. Mabait to pramis !

at last but not the least si Jeson a.k.a. Psyche: ang one and only Mr. and Ms. Biology combined! xD grabe hardcore kasama to at walang boring moment pag siya ang kausap mo. It's either gugulong ka sa kakatawa or gumugulong ka na sa kakatawa xDD (see the difference? xDD)

alam kong marami pa kong dapat tuklasin, marami pa kong dapat malaman, pero sila ang dahilan kung bakit ako nagpupursige ng pagaaral, sila ang dahilan kung bakit nagsusumikap ako...kasi binibigyan nila ako ng pag-asa at lakas ng loob...sila...at ang mga taong minamahal ko. ^^~

drama wahahaha

next time kwekwento ko naman ng buo ung mga nangyayari wahahaha

Obama's Inauguration Speech..an enlightening article

they say small men change lives...maybe it can be proven true by this innovative new world leader..speech plang pamatay na, talo na tlga si Bush d2 XD! si Bush binabato lang ng sapatos eh XD!

"My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path toward prosperity and freedom.
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.
Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.
Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans.
Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.
What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.
Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.
We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort - even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.
As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.
For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.
Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.
This is the price and the promise of citizenship.
This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.
This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.
So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:
"Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet."
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."

Ang Huling Pag eemote

...and so it goes....
they say love is a big rollercoaster: it has so many loops and turns...so many ups and downs...but if you have your seatbelt on you will enjoy the ride till the very end...
the problem is...hindi ako nakaseatbelt!!
eto siguro ung tinatawag nilang katangahan...sasakay ka sa rollercoaster tas wla kang seatbelt? maaawardan ka ng salitang 'adik' o 'baliw' nun! haha
siguro nga kasi nasa nature kong maging hardcore...basta mahal ko nde nako nagseaseatbelt...kaya yun kadalasan nalalaglag ako sa kalagitnaan ng ride..
at bawat laglag...masakit (duh malaglag ka kaya sa big loop ng star city pag bumaligtad na? haha)
at yun na nga ang nangyari mga tagapakinig, tagapagbasa at tagapagsubaybay..
nabasag nanaman ako,..at ngayon..nde lang basag...durog...
because the first person i loved left me in broken tears...that i can't seem to let out...
but the rain poured on my eyes once more, cleansed the hurt and made me live....
but i live with a broken heart....a broken heart that i think cannot be mended at all...
siguro ito na yung huling beses na magmamahal ako ng todo...
hindi lang seatbelt gagawin ko....magkukulong na tlga ako sa isang vault tsaka ako magseaseatbelt, shoulder pads, helmet, at parachute...
para nde na ako malaglag sa roller coaster^^
