2. tomorrow my mom and my younger sister Naomi will be coming home, after a whole week of having the house to myself.

3. we still don't have DSL at home, but it doesn't stop me from "torrenting". A 'suking' internet cafe has a good enough DSL connection, and the owner doesn't mind if i download large files.

4. i'm learning some PHP, JavaScript and some CSS through a free web development solutions training in a local school. The guys there were surprised when they found out I'm not taking up a degree in computers or IT or something like that.

5. I'm kinda unsure if i should buy a Php50k worth laptop or just improve my desktop PC after graduation (because I'll be getting some money by that time...haha)

6. I just tried to use MacOS on a cousin's MacBook...it's okay, but it's way, way different from Windows...hehe

7. I just discovered Maria Ozawa a few weeks ago. She is sooooo hot! haha...

8. If I was born a girl, my parents were to name me "Nicole". But fuck that...I'm a "Nico"! haha...

9. Windows 7 and The Sims 3 come out next year. I'm kinda excited haha...but unfortunately Blizzard hasn't released Starcraft 2.

10. My iTunes library will almost reach 5,000 songs...but I still don't have an iPod...awww...haha

11. Some beverage companies put L-Carnitine in some of their drinks... good news for those who want to lose weight. Only they forgot the one thing they must not forget - SUGAR.

12. The Cleveland Cavaliers advance to the Eastern Conference Finals by sweeping the Hawks, and Denver is about to kick Dallas out of the Playoffs and advance as well. Who's gonna be in the finals? I can't wait to find out!

13. I just bought a new phone, an Alcatel One-Touch V770. At first it was great and all, but now I wish I should have never bought it in the first place.

DSWD, et al.’s Post-Reming Relocation Program: Relocation or Displacement?
The super typhoon Reming (international codename Durian) left the province of Albay in ruins after its 265 kph winds ransacked everything in its way – houses, farmlands, large buildings, everything. To make things even worse, tons and tons of volcanic debris deposited on the foot of Mayon Volcano from its previous eruption were washed away by the largest amount of rainfall in forty years time.

Thousands of families, notably in Padang, Legazpi City and Maipon, Guinobatan lost their houses after huge boulders smashed its walls and the truckloads of volcanic ash and mud buried these two barangays. The death toll reached 500+, and billions of pesos worth of property and agriculture was damaged.

The national government and concerned citizens around the Philippines and the world immediately took action – led by the efforts of Albay Governor Joey Sarte Salceda, they donated relief goods, they fixed some destroyed infrastructure like important bridges, roads, etc, and so many more.

Charitable institutions like Gawad Kalinga and Community Organization of the Philippines Enterprise Foundation, Inc. (COPE) joined forces with the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the National Housing Authority to relocate the hundreds of families who lost their homes during the typhoon.

They created relocation sites in various parts of the province – Anislag in Daraga, Taysan in Legazpi City and Mauraro in Guinobatan are to name a few. Most of the residents used to live in the now-buried barangays Padang and Maipon, and the rest were from other affected barangays nearby. Some of them still have houses but are located in perilous territory, so they also were advised to relocate.

Life at the relocation sites

The houses were mostly small in size – four by five meters in size, with two bedrooms and one restroom, but without a kitchen. “’Yung may pera lang ang nakaka-paextend ng kitchen” says Rodrigo Mejillano, a resident of the Anislag relocation site. “At saka sa isang side lang pwede mag-extend,” he adds.

Every relocation site had its own perks and advantages for the residents – say, Taysan has free electricity, courtesy of the local government, and Mauraro, which has a livelihood project (lending for capital). “Libre ang kuryente namin dito,” says Jaime Ayala from Taysan. “Malaking tulong na rin kahit mahirap ang tubig” he added.

There are elementary and secondary schools within the compound, which are as functional as normal public schools. There are nearby police outposts to quell violence and crime, but the policemen assigned there say that crime and violence is still nonexistent, if not too few.

“We are quite surprised na kaunti lang ang krimen doon,” says DSWD volunteer Alicia Baltar, who also availed of the program in Taysan. “All I could remember was a slight misunderstanding pero hanggang sigawan lang naman.”

Sponsors

DSWD was the major benefactor of the resettlement projects, in cooperation with the NHA. The houses they’ve given were all uniform in size (4m x 5m) and have a fixed budget of P 70,000 for each two bedroom unit. It did not have a kitchen so it was still up to the resident if he/she wants to extend for one.

Other sponsors along with COPE and GK were: 1) the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches, 2) Y’s Men Int’l & Mason Lodge, 3) Compassion International, 4) Habitat for Humanity, 5) Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines and 6) I.O.M.

The houses they build vary, depending on what the sponsor wants. Some had opted to singular 4 x 5 units like what DSWD have provided, while some built much larger duplex units.

The feeling of displacement

The resettlement areas are far away from their former residences – most of the residents were forced to give up their jobs in the city. In Mauraro and Anislag there are some livelihood projects, but it could never rival the usual jobs the residents had before the typhoon. The one in Taysan, however, doesn’t even have one.

“Hindi kami na-relocate. Na-displace kami eh,” says Bernardita Alfredo, who was a factory worker in Legazpi. She was forced to leave because she now lives further away from the said factory. “Wala namang trabaho dito eh, kaya eto, pa-tahi tahi na lang para makaraos.”

Some residents, especially the younger ones, feel homesick and their new houses aren’t like the same. “Ayaw ko dito, mas maganda pa rin doon,” says Mary Jane Deocarisa, a grade 5 student of Taysan Elementary school found within the area of the relocation project. “Pero wala na rin kaming uuwian doon, kaya no choice talaga,” she added.

School Politics and Popularity (it's kinda outdated, really)

2009-04-05T09:53:00.001+08:00

The Bicol University student elections for this year were concluded last February 19. The University Student Council was once again dominated by last year’s “big winner”, the League of Liberal Reformists – Reporma or simply LLR-Reporma. Standard-bearer Jessica Biasca, the incumbent External Vice President, became the first female USC Chairperson in three decades. Her party mates won all but two USC positions. In the College of Arts and Letters, all eleven CSC positions were taken by Reporma.

I have been hearing from other people that they think that the student elections has become more of a popularity contest – the more BU students you know, the larger are your chances of winning a USC or CSC position. Also, having good looks and lots of money would help if ever you weren’t popular enough. It isn’t about platforms and principles anymore – the students don’t even go to the convocations, because they’ll want to support the cute guys, the “beauty queens”, the ROTC corps commander, and their party mates. In the case of USC candidates, they would go for their college mates, so their college would be represented in the USC.

Three colleges have been determining factors for ensuring victory in the USC since they are the three most populated colleges: College of Engineering, College of Education and the College of Business, Economics and Management. If you win these three colleges (or at least the first two), there’s a large chance of assuring victory. But of course, more students could mean more candidates, so you should think twice if you want to transfer to one these colleges and become a USC officer someday – its either you’ll win, or be beaten out by someone else from your college.
As mentioned earlier, LLR-Reporma also dominated last year’s elections, after years of dominance of SAMASA-BURM-CRSG, which was only able to form CSC slates of the College of Social Science and Philosophy and the College of Engineering. Like this year, Reporma won all but two USC positions last year – one each from BU-Leaders and Buklod, and none from CRSG, who ironically had a few incumbent USC candidates running for a “re-election”.

Maybe they should consider renaming their party if they win big again next year. Why? Reporma is Tagalog for reform. Just like in conventional politics, when a party is in power for a long stretch of time, even if they had different presidents and senators, the policies remain the same all throughout. That’s why Lakas-NUCD and LDP doesn’t have the words “Reform” or “Reporma” in their party names.
How can there be reform, if the same party is in power year after year after year? Not unless they always change their policies, that is. That, of course is not recommended if you want stability. The best name I could think of is the BU “League of Republicans”, to complement rival party BU-Leaders, whose official name is the BU League of Democrats.

The ten USC positions are the most sensitive positions in the university that’s being held by students. They have a fund of more than one million pesos, and the welfare of thousands of students. It would seem unfair if the primary basis for selecting these officers is by one’s level of popularity.
Why not vote for leaders based on their platforms and principles? It just doesn’t seem right that some of these candidates couldn’t sleep thinking of the best platforms they could present for the betterment of the common good - but would be later be disappointed, and they wished they had good looks or they should’ve befriended every single BU student.

Adobe Creative Suite 4

2008-10-01T14:12:00.002+08:00

SHIT.

My computer sucks. I just realized it after getting a copy of the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium (should have bought the Web Premium Instead, though...). It required minimum requirements of a Php 50,000 PC - A 2 Ghz or more processor, 1 Gb or more RAM, and I fucking don't want to elaborate further. Fucking capitalism. It sucks.

I only have a 1.6 Intel Celeron CPU, 1 Gb of RAM, a 256mb video card, a CRT Monitor, and a delayed scholarship from CHED. I want to upgrade my CPU to a 2 - 2.2 Ghz dual-core Pentium processor - add 512mb-1Gb more RAM, and get a high-resolution LCD monitor. I'll use the old parts to build a new PC for my sisters to use, and have my PC to myself.

Then I found out that the Adobe CS4 is out. I thought it was gonna be fun - er, but the system requirements are fucking insane-er. Fuck capitalism. Open-source people, get moving...one day, Adobe and all those capitalists will go down. Fucking America - communism is nothing compared to your republican-democracy. Communism will rise again - this time there won't be despotic rulers and greedy administrators.

Poetic Insanity

A few days ago, we were made to write a poem for our Filipino subject. It had to follow the usual parts of a poem, and have a certain topic or issue to tackle. This was the result...

Hope you like it! haha...

Pinoy, Tsinoy, Tsampoy, Pinoy

Ako'y isang pinoy, pinoy, pinoy, pinoy
Hindi tsinoy, hindi tsampoy, kundi pinoy.
Papa ko'y gwapo, mama ko'y maganda.
Bolpen ko'y dalawa, sila ay matinta.

Mayroon akong nakita, kita, kita, ah
Mayroon din siyang nakita, pero walah.
Kami ay nagkita, at wala ng iba
Siya ay lumisan, ako nama'y nahiga.

Sapatos ko'y itim, itim, itim, itim
Ngipin nya ay puti, budhi nya ay itim.
Aso'y maitim, garapata'y madami
Ako'y laging sawi, dahil ako ay pugi.

Ako'y tutula, tutula ng tutula
Pagkat ako'y di bakla, at sya ay pula.
Ako ngayo'y uupo, pagkat uubo
Tapos na po ako, iyon ay pupu.

my ubuntu 8.04 LTS installer finally came...just in time, because the NTLDR virus once again attacked my hard drive...but now i have a big big problem...I don't have a connection at home...and Linux is way, way different with Windows...I'll just have to wait for Windows 7...

AB Journalism 2-B is having a small...uhmm...conflict. its kinda hard to explain, but i'll still try...the thing is...we had a couple of new classmates...shifters from AB Philosophy. We, the guys, wanted to befriend them. It worked, except for me. I don't like them that much (but i don't really hate them), so when we all get together, I just keep quiet, and at times I even stray away from them...but, without any grudges against them whatsoever...I just don't like it when they're around - iba kasi aura nila eh...

But I didn't expect my girl classmates would feel the same way...or maybe the other way around...whatever...But I think they're having grudges against the other guys, and they didn't include me, dahil nga of the fact that I don't hang out with those girls...

I dunno whats happening, really...its a shallow thing, really...

I still don't have a lovelife...and so is the rest of my barkada...so you won't be expecting me to have one till after college. BUT...

But...there is someone...someone whom I think is the best candidate for Nico P. Arboleda's FIRST EVER GIRLFRIEND*...pero di ko na muna sasabihin...basta...If you want to know, sa chat na lang...hehe

I have solved the most popular puzzle in school, after hundreds of tries...the nerve-racking, head-aching, nose-bleeding Rubik's cube!!!!

Well, that wasn't really important, isn't it. Yeah.

It's been a rough start of the new school year. The schedules are always changing, I couldn't have enough sleep, and I still don't have a girlfriend yet. How sad. And stressful. And sad. Darn.

I want to study abroad, preferably Australia, since I'm a citizen of both Australia and the Philippines, which can give me a great advantage over non-dual Filipino citizens living (or working) there. The only problem is, I couldn't find a good enough scholarship program for me, and I can afford the expensive tuition fees there (unless I work there and study at the same time). Some of my classmates have already finished their application to study in Japan, and I'm very, very envious. If they get the scholarship, they receive around 130-200k yen monthly (around Php60k) and get to learn Nippon-go, and get really cute Japanese chicks in mini-skirts for "friends". Man, those guys are lucky, if ever. And a pretty good future way ahead for them. As for me, I dunno.

Open-source software is growing very popular. Mozilla Firefox is gradually poised to replace Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which just released it latest offering, Firefox 3. Windows and Mac OS-X may still be dominating the OS market, but Linux and GNU-based operating systems like Ubuntu and Redhat are slowly making waves around the world...and it's free. If my hard disk goes wrong one day, I'll opt to switch to Ubuntu 8.04 rather than a counterfeit Windows XP SP2 OS from some of the technicians here. Better be safe than sorry, right?

This year, I'll be getting around Php 30k from my scholarship, and I still can't decide what to spend it with. Last year I got my PC fixed and now I just have around Php 1,500 left in the bank (Well, it wasn't the only thing I spent my money with...hehe). Darn. I couldn't decide whether I'll buy a digicam, an MP3 player, a new phone (which has the same features of the first two, but have the features of a cellphone) or an inexpensive portable laptop. Or I could just keep it in the bank just in case something happens in the future. Yeah, maybe I should. Or not. I dunno.

Yeah. Whatever.

Life is so hard, man...

How I wish everything was easier...that prices of commodities would stay cheap (if only we didn't burn fossil fuels in the first place)...that the philippines would adopt a different kind of government (maybe something similar to communism and socialism, but without the power-hungry leader and the human rights violations) to remove all power from those corrupt and power-hungry statesmen who would do anything just to get into power (buying votes from poor voters) and have all the people's tax money for themselves...and that having a girlfriend wouldn't have to pass through something too difficult, courtship, and all those rubbish men have to go through before getting her to say yes.

Too bad none of these are happening...gasoline's around $130 per barrel, which in turn becomes inflation, which makes life too difficult for everybody. The president is giving away government funds to subsidize poor people's food and jeepney drivers' gasoline (instead of giving income generating projects, though for me, the LPG-jepney could be of great help) while removing the subsidy of the premier state university of this nation, the University of the Philippines (UP), that resulted to a 300% increase in tuition fees. How disturbing...GLORIA resign! haha...

But wait...if the president resigns, who'll be her primary successor? the vice president? the house speaker? an electronics and communications engineer who exposed the government's most disturbing scandal of recent times, the ZTE -NBN broadband deal that involved so many political figures and billions of pesos? a communism activist who was always jailed by the Philippine Government? or maybe, someone who is honest, good-natured and clever, yet he is also a simple, poor, and struggling filipino who's trying his best so is family could eat three meals a day (just like a gigantic percentage of the nation's population) who is intelligent enough to govern a state (and make my proposal i have stated above possible through peaceful means) and gradually change the reputation of the Philippines?

The last one sounded fun, right? But it's too far-fetched, and i don't even think that my proposal would be even approved by the filipino bourgeois population and the monopolistic capitalists who own conglomerates that make most of the filipinos buy their products, just because they are the "best"... and the richest companies. The small-scale entrepreneurs and inventors, however, though they are making money, don't get enough recognition for their products and inventions because the government doesn't have "enough" money to support them, thus forcing them to show their products to other developed countries like Japan and USA, and the credit is given to them instead of the Philippines...tsktsk...and now, the president is subsidizing everyone with government funds, instead of supporting these maverick inventors! What if someday there would be nothing left? The economy falls even further into the pit, which eventually, nobody would have anything to eat...'wag naman sana...

It would, however, favor the workers, the homeless, the unemployed - in general, the poor. In fact, there will be neither poor nor rich people. Everyone is equal financially - the workers, the intellects, professionals, entrepreneurs and government officials (including the heads of state). The nation's properties will be state-owned, just like communism and socialism, but will be controlled, so that no single person gets too much, or too few money - which, i say it again, includes the heads of state, of course - unlike the former soviet union and other communist regimes who favor the leaders, who are leaders until they die.

Entrepreneurs will still have the freedom to sell their products, but still, they are controlled by the government, meaning, they have to give their profits to the government, which will be included with the rest of the government's money from the businesses they acquired from the private sector (which is still largely operated by the same operators, e.g. San Miguel will still be administered by the Cojuancos, and The Lopezes still have power to their conglomerates, i.e. if they still want to do so), to be distributed to all citizens, equally. For example, the government amasses around Php 9.6 trillion (around $200 billion)per annum...the money will be divided among the 80 million filipinos = Php 120,000 per annum, or Php 10,000/month for each individual (unless a large of this percantage would go abroad and live in a democratic country and never again to be a filipino, that could gradually lower the population, hence giving larger amounts depending on the money to be divided) living in the country. Those who work abroad and still have a filipino citizenship would have to send their remittances to the government, and not directly to their relatives (I know a lot of people wouldn't like this, but it could be a way for them to help his fellow filipinos and the country's economy, right?). Everyone is free to do whatever they want - speak out about anything he wants, since freedom of speech is not prohibited, buy expensive jewelry and gadgets if they can, and have sex whenever a couple wants to - be it a straight male-female couple or a homosexual couple...because I don't care what happens anyway - to sum it up, everything but have more money than the rest of the country's citizens.

Atheism will not be encouraged, though everyone is free when it comes to who they want to bow down to and worship - whether He is God, Buddha, Allah, Bathala, Kabunian, Zoroaster, Haile Selassie II, Martin Luther, Grigorii Rasputin, The famed "Lola" of Maipon, Guinobatan, Albay, Satan, Jose Rizal, Felix Malano, Harry Potter, Leonardo da Vinci, Confucius, Michael Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Leprechauns, Bob Ong, Angel Locsin, Boy Abunda, H. Ross Perot or Nico Paygane Arboleda, nobody is going to stop you. How will religion will play a part in this government - absolutely nothing! The church must never, ever interfere with the government, and vice versa. Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, and to the rest of the Filipino clergy, I don't care if you will be against this proposal! The only reason why the church doesn't favor communism (except for the human rights violations and atheism) is because you won't be having wealthy sponsors and parokyanos to give you money anymore! You want to be exempted from taxes and you don't want to give your gargantuan farming lands to small farmers because it was "rightfully" given to them by the parokyanos. Damn, I hate those Spanish friars! I just wish we were never conquered by Spain. And America. And Japan. And England. And Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. Yeah.

This "theory" is still in the making, and i'm pretty sure that not a lot of people will give me the thumbs up yet. I'm not even hoping that this would ever happen. Like Karl Marx, whom I think will become very disappointed if he knew what communism has brought to the world after leaders used his theory - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung , Kim Il Sung and Fidel Castro may have made communism quite successful back then - but they have never been successful with formulating his ideals, because they used it only to have absolute power rather than having a community-based society. I'm not trying to destroy these world leaders' good names, in fact I really admire them for believing in Marx's theories and trying to materialize it for their beloved country.

I'm 17 years old...some even say I look older (I don't care)...but I still don't have a girlfriend. I've had sooooo many unsuccessful attempts - my first year in college, high school, elementary, and believe it or not, in kindergarten. I've never actually courted a girl before, they were just crushes...BIG crushes whom I've never, ever had enough guts to even have just a conversation with them! If you want me to give the names of these girls, I'd be glad to but it you will have to email me first (nicoparboleda@gmail.com) so i can give it to you, personally. I Promise.

Another thing is...if ever I had enough guts to talk to that crush, we become closer to each other and eventually become friends, and my feelings for her quickly vanish into thin air. I hate it when that happens! Aaargh! Dammit! But what the heck, several friends are WAY better than just one single "special" girl who may love you or maybe just fool around and break you apart, which eventually would end in pain, and you two would be automatically worst enemies. That is fucking wrong. What is the matter with these girls anyway? They wanted to have the same rights with males (voting, running for politics, etc.) 200 years ago, and wanted to be treated like princesses or queens by their husbands. Now, these girls are now breaking men's hearts all around the world! Tama ba 'yun? I mean, we men gave them the same rights we men have deprived them two centuries ago, and now this is what you are doing to repay us for that? Oh, please...and you call yourselves feminists. Yeah...I think its the word SEXIST that best describes you.

Okay, so I'm overreacting...I'm really not that desperate na idadamay pa yung the rest of the women all over the world dahil lang sa faults of few. That's just wrong. Yeah.

Summer, summertime...

2008-04-07T11:45:00.003+08:00

Yes! Tapos na ang unang taon ko sa kolehiyo...Three more bago gumraduweyt...mmmm, sweeeeet victory kung sakali...eligible na aku para mag trabaho, kumita at bumili ng kung anu-anong luho na pwede kong makuha, inspite of the fact na obligado akong tumulong...kay mother dearest, sa aking pesky little smarty-pants sisters (para makatapos, syempre) at sa gubyerno ng Pilipinas (kung sakaling umabot man iyon sa karapat-dapat na paroroonan) through income tax at VAT sa mga super mahal na bilihin. :(

balik sa real world...katatapos pa lang naman ng unang taon ko sa kolehiyo eh...matagal pa naman ang tatlong taon eh...hehehehe. Anyway, summer vacation na namin. Wala ng mga super nakaka-badtrip na mga professor na hinde nagtuturo kahit perfect attendance sya, at mga jeepney driver na hinde ku binibigyan ng pamasahe kapag medyo kapos ang badyet. Wala ng mga katakot-takot na requirements tulad ng baby thesis, research work at "star-guessing" (stargazing for NatSci2) na ginagawa lang tuwing malapit na ang deadline at kung kelan gusto ng singilin ng group leader yung mga kagrupo nyang hinde tumutulong. Wala na ang mga magagandang CN at CBEM students na nakikita ko tuwing papasok kami sa CSB4 para sa Math1 at NatSci2. Wala ng mahabang lakaran araw-araw at pagtaas-baba mula 1st floor hanggang 4th floor ng MP building. Wala na ring quality time tuwing oras ng pananghalian kasama ang dalawa kong kumag na dabarkads. Wala na masyadong physical activities kaya ngayon mukha na akong kwarenta anyos na malakas uminom ng red horse at fundador sa laki ng tinaba ko. At higit sa lahat, di ko na makikita si...ay wag na lang, reader sya nito eh...mahirap na pag nalaman....hehehehehehe.

Buong araw na akong in front of the PC monitor simula nung matapos ang lahat ng requirements at ipinaubaya sa ever-reliable na kaklase (salamat debs!!! haha...) ang napaka-importanteng clearance. Gigising ng eight in the morning, kakain ng breakfast, at babalik sa kwarto para buksan ang PC. From then on, wala na masyado mangyayari sa araw ko. Pagsapit ng alas-dose, kakain ng lunch, balik sa pc, kain ulet kapag alas-syete, balik sa pc, matutulog ng ala-una ng madaling araw. Naging regular habit na iyon, at di nagtagal, sumasakit na ang ulo ko sa puyat at dahan-dahan na rin akong dumadagdag ng mga kilogramo. Sunud-sunod na rin ang mga sermon sa akin ni mother dearest. "Hoy, bata, tumulong ka naman..." o kaya "mag-exercise ka naman, lumulobo ka na" o kaya nama'y, "maligo ka naman, hinde ka ba naiinitan?"

Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na kinailangan na naming magtungo sa Cavite para magbakasyon. Umuwi sila Tito Jun galing Australia at naisipan naming mag-reunion kahit maraming di makakapunta (yung iba kasi nasa abroad). Sina-gest ni mami na dun sa me beachhouse ng Arboleda (yung mga Paygane side ang magrereunion) na super layo (Lobo, Batangas) pero walang babayaran pwera lang kung kukuha ng extra pang kwarto sa me Dawas' Place na malapit lang sa me beach-house. Nung una parang ayaw kasi nga malayo daw, taz lubak-lubak pa ung kalsada. Sinabi ni mami na hinde naman ganun ka lubak2, kaya natuloy pa rin. Pumunta na kami a few days after dumating galing sa bikol. Nung pag-alis ok naman ang lahat. Pagdating sa beach-house ka-jamming ko sila Kuya Reyan, Kuya Sid taz c Fern. Si Kuya Perry di masyado nag-iingay kasi inaantok daw. Wala akong kamalay-malay na meron palang problema, kaya pala hinde sila masyado nag-enjoy. Hinde ko na iyon kailangan pang ilahad pa.

Pagkatapos ng swimming tumuloy ako kina Tita Cely sa Dasma, tapos sila mami tumuloy kina Tita Mary sa Imus. Sa Imus kasi mag-isang lalaki lang ako dun, at mas close ako sa "Dasma family". Me Internet din sa Imus, Globelines na mabilis, mabilis din yung computer, kaya lang wala dun si Kuya Alvin, kaya nagtyaga ako sa Dasma, kahit Smart Bro lang ang connection. Dito, pinatuloy ku lang ung ritwal ku araw-araw. Gising ng late, laptop ni kuya perry, kain, laptop ulit, kain ng dinner, laptop ulit, taz pag matutulog na si kuya, pc naman hanggang ala una or alas dos ng madaling araw. Adik na ata ako. Pero okey lang yun, pumapasok naman ako sa eskwelahan pag me pasok eh. Di pa naman 'to grabe eh...hehehehehehe

Uuwi na kami sa birthday ni Ate Eula, i.e. April 18. Bumili si Mami ng Mp4 player ng CD-R king at bibili pa daw ng MediaCom na videoke system pagdating sa haus. Hinde pa rin nakahanap ni mami ng mabibilhan ng MultiCab na iko-convert na rolling store, kaya maghahanap pa rin kami. Mahal daw kasi yung nasa Imus. 200k daw, tapos hinde pa converted yun. Second-hand na lang daw para mura, basta't maganda pa yung makina.

Babay, Tita Cely, Kuya Perry, Ate Eula, Nanay, Ate Lyn, Kuya Artem, Tita Mary, Tito Pepe, Ate Imee, Ate Gie...Kita-kits na lang uli sa Pasko...

This Weekend

2008-02-10T20:06:00.000+08:00

What a weekend...all day my eyes are glued to the PC monitor, playing NBA Live and Civ 4...again...

In the afternoon though, I decided to go out and breathe some fresh air...only ending up going to a computer rental shop...haha

As usual, I would log-in my Friendster account, check out NBA.com for updates and check my e-mail. Then I realized, I had brought along my flash drive...Yes! I brought it! haha...I downloaded Limewire and iTunes to it, and installed the former at the computer I was using. I downloaded a few songs....Michael Jackson, Alien Ant farm, Matchbox 20, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Nirvana, Weird Al Yankovich and...the Spice Girls...hahahahaha....

I looked at the time, it was 3, but iTunes isn't finished...20%...and going...hmmpf!

So...you know what I did?? Come on, give it a try...oh well, I downloaded a movie. What movie you ask? I'll just keep it to myself...hahahaha...

Ok...It was La Blue Girl 4...Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinking...Well, Its not the porn it has I'm after...I like the concept. Two female ninjas, fighting other ninjas and monsters with...SEX of course! haha... The graphics are a bit old school, the dubbing is a bit unsuitable for the characters, but the story is very original...you can watch it if you want...except if you're a girl who thinks that anything Hentai is bad and immoral and full of nonsense...

While waiting, I went bloghopping, friendster-account browsing and looking for crack files for Sims 2. My former blockmate and co-candidate for CSC representative Jev Fernandez - http://jyrevi.net - (Shut up! Just read the damn post...) sent me a text message about joining the "single's club", which I never was affiliated with since everyone knows how irresistible i am...ok, you caught me...so I am a part of it...well, SO WHAT! haha... At first I didn't know what it meant, so I just ignored and deleted it afterwards (Wala akong load eh...). So, I thought of visiting her blog for details. Voila! There it was...dated feb 9, 2008...the day she was DUMPED by her boyfriend! hahahaha...poor little Jevie...tsktsk...magpa-brace ka na kasi!!! hehehehehe...jowk lang...pis na tau...:)

I couldn't find the crack file, but instead I found some Civ 4 wallpapers which featured Tsarina Catherine the Great of Russia. The others were with Roosevelt, Ghandi, Cyrus of Persia, Hatshepsut of Egypt and a lot more...I downloaded some of them and made them my Desktop Wallpaper when I came home.

The file finished downloading after roughly an hour of waiting...and later I departed. I kinda noticed this girl a few minutes before...she's also from BU, taking up IT, I think...and I think we were schoolmates in elementary...back then I found her cute, though skinny...now she's a bit different, showing signs of puberty...a few pimples, heavy eyebags, a taller figure (she's still skinny), but the cuteness factor I saw in her before was still there...But, sadly she left before the file finished downloading...

At home, I resumed my computer 'work' and slept at around 12mn. I did not take a bath that whole day...

Sunday...February 11

I wont be going to church today...

The campaign's about to begin and I'm still not ready...

Oh well...

a new post...finally

2008-02-09T14:53:00.000+08:00

It's been weeks already since I posted the last post...I'm having a very hectic sked right now, and I'm only a freshman!!! Oh well, that's college life...better get used to it then...hehe...

I got the PC fixed, but without an internet connection yet, that's why I haven't been to a computer rental shop in a while. I had almost everything replaced - an Intel Celeron 1.6 Ghz processor, a brand new motherboard, 1gb RAM, 128mb video card (Radeon 2400 HD), 20x DVD-RAM writer, 160gb SATA HDD and a 500W power supply (which came in kinda late...). Too bad Windows Vista didn't work out right, so I settled for Windows XP SP2 instead for maximum performance....

I put NBA Live 08, The Sims 2 and Civilization 4. Yeah, the first two were great, but Civ4 is hands down the greatest game ever created! Great graphics, addictive gameplay and the fact that you're a king or queen or whatever of your civilization (you can choose from various races: American, Roman, Greek, English, Mongolian, Japanese, etc.)...and here you can learn a lot from world history

I'm running for the BU-CAL College Student Council as President...no, just kidding...representative lang...and I joined UP-based political party "BUKLOD" with some guys whom I've known before joining this party. I didn't expect Jev (http://jyrevi.net) to run with me as a representative as well, but what the heck, a mascot could help...haha...jowk lang...

Our lineup isn't really what you call...uhmmm...what's a good term for it? Intimidating? Whatever...but It's fine...we have former CSC people, YFC members and an SK chairman...

awwww shit...........I cant finish this damn post....aaaargh!

Career Interest Inventory Test

2008-01-15T13:16:00.000+08:00

Career Interest Inventory

My Result: Writing and Journalism

People who are drawn to writing and journalism typically desire to communicate with people outside of their personal circles. Whether it's their own personal beliefs or not, they have a knack for articulating a message in a way that resonates with other people. They understand and appreciate the power of the written word and its abilities to shape other people's ideas. Many people in these professions may see themselves as interpreters in some way. They are able to put into words what some of us can only feel.

opinions, viewpoints and insights

2008-01-08T15:15:00.000+08:00

This post will have several particular topics to be expounded or whatever, by myself of course. The topics are randomly arranged and it's what in my head right now.

Enjoy!

haha...

1. TV network wars - Two very large television networks fighting over ratings made by a certain research group which were said to be "tampered". One network filed a lawsuit against the said research group about it. The funny thing is, the other large TV network filed another lawsuit to the above said network, who said that they did the tampering by bribing the households having the device the research group uses with groceries and 500 Philippine pesos every month, which ironically, was done by the research group and not of the first TV network. I think this is sooooooo pathetic. These networks only want more money, and more money which they are squeezing from the ordinary Filipinos who are struggling on economic issues the nation is having right now. Please end this nightmare now. You know who you are. Maawa naman kayo sa aming mga mahihirap. Please...

2. The NCAA/UAAP merger - Excellent move, BAP-SBP! Incorporating the two large collegiate basketball divisions of the Philippines and making one larger league. Imagine two of the most dominant collegiate centers, UAAP Season 70 MVP Jervy Cruz of UST and Nigerian behemoth center Sam Ekwe of San Beda go at each other fighting for boards and domination in the paint area. Imagine a three-way rivalry among Ateneo, La Salle and San Beda. Imagine more regular season games. I only wish for its success. Go La Salle Green Archers! Champions tayo! hehe...

3. No more subsidy for Bicol University - This I have not yet confirmed, but this is downright terrible! What is the government thinking? BU is the premier and only state university of the Bicol Region and now they will remove its subsidy and triple or quadruple the tuition fees? This is an outrage. I've had enough of this already...

4. The ASUS Eee PC - a small, lightweight and trendy laptop that's worth around $399 or arond 17,000 to 19,500 Philippine pesos. 512mb to 1gb RAM, 2gb to 8gb HDD, 7' screen and weighs less than 1 kilogram. HOLY SHIT! Am I dreaming? Is this possible? This is insane man!

I.Q test

2008-01-06T11:51:00.001+08:00

The Classic IQ Test

My Result: Inventive Inquisitor

You have the unusual talent of being equally good at both mathematical and verbal skills. That, paired with your thirst to learn through experience, makes you an Inventive Inquisitor.

Your strength lies in the methodology you have naturally adopted to understand the world. Basically, you have perfected "learning through living." You have a unique ability to teach others by taking them through actual experiences. Your talents come in handy especially when confronted with unfamiliar or unproven situations. Most people search their brains for previously stored information that might help in a given situation. You, however, take things as they come and see things as they are. You are a great improviser and are probably open to an unusual amount of change.

Another Inventive Inquisitor who demonstrates this very point was Ben Franklin. He suspected that lightning was a naturally occurring electrical current and realized he was correct once he conducted his famous kite-flying experiment on a stormy night. This is the type of novel approach that keeps your perspective fresh. Chances are, it has also helped you develop an unusually worldly sense of things. You use your inherent wisdom to branch out from what others too quickly assume to be the most "rational" solutions. This talent enables you to approach things creatively instead of following the rigid paths of life.

First Night Together

On their first night together, a newlywed couple go to change. The new bride comes out of the bathroom showered and wearing a beautiful robe. The proud husband says, "My dear, we are married now, you can open your robe." The beautiful young woman opens her robe, and he is astonished."Oh, oh, aaaahhh," he exclaims, "My God you are so beautiful, let me take your picture. Puzzled she asks, "My picture?" He answers, "Yes my dear, so I can carry your beauty next to my heart forever".

She smiles and he takes her picture, and then he heads into the bathroom to shower. He comes out wearing his robe and the new wife asks, "Why do you wear a robe? We are married now." At that the man opens his robe and she exclaims, "oh, OH, OH MY, let me get a picture". He beams and asks why and she answers, "So I can get it enlarged!"

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood was on her way to see her grandmother in the forest. Her mother warned her "Don't walk through the forest, take the path, or else the Big Bad Wolf will catch you and suck your tits dry!" Little Red started towards her grandmother's house but decided to take the shortcut through the forest anyway. The turtle stopped Little Red and warned her "Turn back and use the path, because if the Big Bad Wolf finds you, he'll suck your tits dry!" Little Red was almost there, so she kept going through the forest. Sure enough, the Big Bad Wolf jumps out of nowhere and tells her "Take off your shirt Little Red Riding Hood - I'm gonna suck your tits dry!!". "Oh no you don't", yells Little Red, as she pulls up her skirt, "You're gonna eat me just like the story says!"

Inday on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Deal or No Deal

2007-12-30T12:18:00.000+08:00

Kris: Magandang gabi mga kapamilya, sa gameshow na ito importante ang sagot sa nag-iisang katanungang Deal or no Deal. Ang ating player ngayong gabi ay walang iba kundi ang fastest-rising household services manager na si Inday![umentra si Inday at nagpalakpakan angmga tao]

Kris: Ok Inday, choose a briefcase.

Inday: Kris, I would opt for case 4 please.

Kris: Briefcase # 4... si Sharmel. Inday, matanong ko lang, how did you come up with the number 4?

Inday: Oh, do you really want to know Kris?

Kris: Oo naman. I'm sure kaya ko naman maintindihan yung sasabihin mo eh.

Inday: The number 4 was acquired based on a probability distribution function that involves integrating up to an area greater than or equal to that random number which should be generated between 0 and 1 for proper distributions.

Kris: Syet. tanong tanong pa kasi eh.

Kris: Ok Inday, choose 6 briefcases to open.

Inday: I would opt for 7, 24, 12, 2, 15 and 20.

Kris: Wait lang Inday, usually isa isa lang ang pagbubukas natin ng case...

Inday: Why is that? As if I can change the outcome if we're to open a case each time I blurt out a number as opposed to opening each case immediately one after the other right?

Kris: Hayyy...babaguhin pa talaga mechanics (bulong sa sarili).

Kris: Anwyay, di bale na lang nga...tuloy tayo. Number 7. Natalie buksan na!![Yung audience sumisigaw ng LOWER!!LOWER!!!]

Kris: Teka lang, bago natin buksan...Inday, usually ang mga contestants naten ay sumisigaw ng "LOWER" every time magbubukas ng case.

Inday: Kris, I guess that's not the wayI was taught in grade school. You see, Iwas taught that we should only use the comparative form of the word or add "ER"to the adjective if we are comparing two things. And since it is only the first briefcase that we are going to open, we have nothing to compare it to. Am I right?[natahimik ang audience at napaisip]

Kris: Oo nga no!

Kris: Sige Natalie, Buksan mo na.[Ang laman ng briefcase 7 ay Piso...Palakpakan ang mga tao]

Kris: Good start! Ano yung next case moulit?

Inday: Case number 24 please.

Kris: Chloe... buksan na...[Audience sumisigaw ulit ng LOWER!! LOWER!!]

Kris: Wait lang guys, Inday may nabuksanng case baket di ka pa rin sumisigaw ng"Lower"?

Inday: Oh my goodness Kris, how longhave you been doing this? Have you everencountered a value that is lower than a peso in this game? Tell me, is there any value left lower than the one we just opened? Sheesh.[Napaisip ulit ang audience at natahimik]

Kris: Aarrgghh!!!! Chloe buksan na lang nga, pati na rin yung 12, 2, 15 and 20 buksan na rin para matapos na. [naiirita na][At sunod sunod na ngang nabukas ang mgacase ni Inday][nag-ring ang phone]

Inday: Ahh Kris, to save more time canyou tell Banker that I'm not interestedin his first offer. In the history ofthis game of chance, I have yet to seesomeone accept a first offer from thebanker. It's quite pathetic andpretentious for contestants to pause andlook around the audience as if askingfor advice before ultimately rejectingthe first offer. I mean come on, isn'tthat a waste of airtime?

Banker: Potahhh!!! [narinig sa set kahitsarado ang kwarto ni banker]- Ito ang unang pagkakataon na marinigng mga audience ang boses ni banker saDeal or no Deal.... dumating na sa kalagitnaan ng showat mukhang minamalas na si Inday...

Kris: Ok Inday, mukhang kelangan nanatin ng tulong sa mga friends mo...sino ba yung bigotilyong lalaki nanaka-polo? Ano name nya?

Inday: Ahh, that's my master Mr. Montenegro.Kris: Ahhh sya pala yun, how cute namanpala eh. Sige sir, give us a number.

Mr. Montenegro: Hi Kris, good evening.I'm a fan. I choose number 22 please.

Kris: Ano Inday ok ba yung number 22?

Inday: Whatever, we shouldn't bite thehand that feeds us anyway. Go ahead.

Kris: [taray naman] Sofie, buksan na![ang laman ng briefcase 22 ay 5,000]

Kris: Good job! Sino naman yung gwapong lalake na naka jumper na katabi ni Mr.Montenegro? What's his name?

Inday: Ahh, that's my on again off again boyfriend, Dodong the gardener.

Kris: Ooohh, sya pala yun. Ok Dodong, give us a number!

Dodong: Hi babes, I choose briefcase 9 if it's ok with you. If not, it's ok with me as long as it's ok with you.

Kris: Ano raw? Inday, number 9 daw ok say0?

Inday: Yes Kris, it's fine with me.

Kris: Wow ang bait pag kay Dodong.Ederlyn... buksan na!!...nanlaki ang mga mata ni Inday athindi sya makapaniwala. Natahimik atmukhang kakapusin sya ng hininga...

Inday: YOU!!! How dare you invade my moment![nagulat si Kris at ang mga audience sareaksyon ni Inday. Nagpatawag si Kris ng commercial break at nagpakuha ng tubig para kay Inday.]Nagkatitigan sina Inday at Ederlyn.Nakangisi si Ederlyn habang hawak ang briefcase ni Inday.

Ederlyn: Pinapangako ko, Inday...pagbukas luluhod ang mga tala! hahahahaha!

Inday: What? Can you speak up? What are you mumbling up there. Can somebody give her a microphone please?

Kris: Ano ba!! Tama na nga ang drama ninyo, Ederlyn buksan mo na ang case at umexit ka na kung ayaw mong mapalitan!(naiirita na si Kris)Dali-daling binuksan ni Ederlyn ang briefcase at ang laman ay... P3,000,000. Nanghinayang ang mga audience... Ang mganatirang values ay 250, 1K, 20K, 50K,and 500K.

Inday: NooOoo.... (sabay tingin kayDodong at napapaluha), how could you...

Dodong: I'm so sorry Inday, please forgive me.

Kris: Hayyy, drama again. Ang offer ni banker sa pagbabalik ng Kapamilya,Deal.. or No Deal![pagtapos ng commercial break... mukhang composed na ulit si Inday]

Kris: Inday, are you okay? Ang offer ni banker ay 99 thousand pesos. 'Sing rami siguro ng pilipinong pinadugo mo na ilong. Is it a Deal or No Deal? Tahimik lang si Inday tilang may kinocompute sa ulo habang ang mga audience ay nagsisigawan ng "No Deal",ang iba naman ay "Deal".

Kris: Wait lang, kung mapapansin ninyo we have only have 5 cases left, and among those 5, apat doon ay mas maliit na value...

Inday: Kris, do you mind? Can I do my own thinking?Natameme si Kris, pati ang audience aynatahimik.

Kris: Taray to the max! (pabulong sa sarili)

Inday: Ok, I'm ready. Upon looking atthe reality of the situation, 80% of thecases left have at least 49K less thanthe banker's offer. The only way I can do better than what is offered is that if my case contains the 500k or I'd get to open one of the four lower values.But I have to keep in mind that there's only 20% probability that this would happen. I have to take note, however, that the banker's offer is roughly around 15% lower than the offer I expected based on the arithmetic mean ofthe values left.

Kris: Lorddd... panaginip ba 'to?Ayokonaaa... .

Inday: Accepting a deal for less than the mean should generally be regarded as a weak decision so I would say, NO DEAL!

Limang briefcase na lang ang natitira at kasama na doon ang case ni Inday...

Kris: My God, nakaka-stress itong episode na ito ha. Baka dumugo na rin ang ilong ko sa'yo Inday. Sige Inday, go ahead and choose 1 briefcase!Inday: Ok Kris, I choose briefcase please?

Kris: Briefcase ! Mimi bago mo buksan yan I would first like to thank Figliarina by Schubizz for my sandals, Bambi Fuentes for my hair and make-up and Pepsi Herrera for my gown tonight.

Kris: Ok Mimi, buk...

Inday: Ahh Kris, can I also take time to thank a few people? I mean, I did save us a few minutes of airtime right?

Kris: ("kapal naman talaga ng mukha"...bulong sa sarili) Sige, ok lang go ahead. (naka-smile pa rin)

Inday: Thanks! Yes, I would like to thank Frank Provost for my hair and make-up, Jimmy Choo for my sandals and my dear friend Oscar dela Renta for my gown tonight.

BLAG!! Tinumba ni Kris ang podium at nagwalk-out. Hindi na natapos ang showkaya't binigyan na lang ni Banker si Inday ng kalahating milyon para sa kanyang oras.

Inday: Oh, and thanks to the people of Cartier for sending me these nice earrings for tonight!

2007-12-29T17:31:00.000+08:00

Dahil sa tindi ng kahirapan sa probinsya, namasukan si Inday bilangkatulong sa Maynila. Habangini-interview ng amo

Amo: Kelangan namin ng katulong paramagayos ng bahay, magluto, maglaba,magplantsa, mamalengke, at magbantay ng mga bata. Kaya mo ba ang lahat ng ito?

Inday: I believe that my trained skills and expertise in management with the use of standard tools, and my discipline and experience will contribute significantlyto the value of the work that you want,my creativity, productivity and work-efficiency and the high quality of outcomes I can offer will boost the work progress.

Amo: [nosebleed]

Makaraan ang dalawang araw, umuwi ang amo, nakitang me bukol si junior.

Amo: Bakit me bukol si junior?

Inday: Compromising safety with useless aesthetics, the not-so-well engineered architectural design of our kitchen lavatory affected the boy's cranium with a slight boil at the left temple nearthe auditory organ.

Amo: [nosebleed ulit]

Kinagabihan, habang naghahapunan.

Amo: Bakit maalat ang ulam?

Inday: The consistency was fine. But you see, it seems that the increased amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) affected the taste drastically and those actions are irreversible. I do apologize.

Amo: [nosebleed na naman]

Donya: Bakit tuwing paguwi ko,nadadatnan kitang nanunuod ng tv?!

Inday: Because I don't want you to see me doing absolutely nothing.

Donya: [hinimatay]

Kinabukasan, sinamahan ni Inday si junior sa principal's office dahil di makapunta ang amo at donya.

Principal: Sinuntok ni junior ang kanyang kaklase.

Inday: It's absurd! It was never a fact that he will inflict a fight. I can only imagine how you handle schizophrenic kids on this educational institution.Revise your policies because they suck!

Principal: [nag resign]

Pag dating sa bahay, nandun na ang amo ,galit na galit.

Amo: Inday, bakit nagkalat ang basura sa likod ng bahay?!

Inday: A change in the weather patterns might have occurred wrecking havoc to the surroundings. The way the debris are scattered indicates that the gust of wind was going northeast causing damageto the path it was heading for.

Amo: [nosebleed ulit]

Habang nagluluto si Inday ng hapunan, malikot si junior.

Inday: Stop your raucous behavior. Itisbound to result in property damages and if that happens there will becorresponding punishment to be inflicted upon you!

Junior: [takbo sa CR, punasan ang nagdudugong ilong]

Pagkatapos magluto, nanood na ng TV siInday. Nabalitaan nya umalis si Angel Locsin sa GMA 7.

Junior: Bakit kaya sya umalis?

Inday: Sometimes, people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but because they just know that things will get worse if they'll stay. Leaving can be a tough act, and it's harder when people can't understand you for doing so.

Junior: [tuloy ang pagdugo ng ilong]

Nung gabing yon, me nag text ke Inday.Si Dodong, ang driver ng kapitbahay, gusto maki pag text-mate.

Inday: To forestall further hopes of acquaintance, my unfathomable statement to the denial of your request - Petition denied.

Di nagla-on, dahil sa tyaga ni Dodong, naging syota nya rin si Inday. Pero di tumagal ang kanilang relasyon, at nakipag-break si Inday ke Dodong.

Inday: The statute restricts me to love you but you have the provocations. The way you smile is the proximate cause why I love you. We have some rules to think of. We have no vested rights to love each other because the upper household dismissed my petition!

Dodong: Perhaps you are mistaken, what you seem to contrive as any affections for you are somewhat half-hearted. I was merely attempting to expand my network of interests by involving you in my daily recreation. Heretofor, you can expect an end to any verbal articulation from myself

Me dumaan na mamang basurero, at narinig ang usapan ni Inday at Dodong.

Basurero: Be careful in letting go ofthe things you thought are just nothing because maybe someday you'll realize that the one you gave away is the very thing you want to stay.

trip to intramuros...and quiapo

2007-12-28T22:04:00.000+08:00

baka sabihin nyo ngayon lang ako nakapuntang walled city, pero hinde...maraming beses na rin akong nakapunta...as tourist at para mag-explore...hwehe...pero ngayon iba na'ng pakay nito...aasikasuhin na yung para sa dual citizenship namin(Australians kami eh...kumbaga alien...hehe) para maayos na yung sa scholarship ko(ehem...) at yung pagpasok ni Nadine(kapatid ko)sa Pamantasan ng Pilipinas('lam mu na siguro yun) at yung sa DOST scholarship nya(shit...putangina...nakakainggit naman...ako BU lang sya UP...hmpf!) and for other stuffs na rin...

Akala ko magbabayad pa kami ng more than 50k php dahil overstaying daw...buti pwedeng mai-waive ng commish...wahahahaha...ung processing fee na lang tsaka ID(malaking pera pa rin...mga 9k lahat-lahat...ngek). Gumawa si mama ng sulat na sooooper-convincing(hehe..) para pwedeng i-waive na ng tuluyan...

Pagdating sa Lawton...(eto ikukwento ko lahat ng nangyari...hehe)...ay shet, ano na nga yun? kalimutan ko na agad...hmpf...

...

...

...

ayun...naalala ko na...bumaba kami sa bus...taz tumawid sa katakot-takot na tawiran na me mga sasakyan na tumatakbong halos i-alter na nila ang time and space continuum...yung tipong pang-teleportation ba...ganun kabibilis...imaginin mo yun...tsktsk...pagtawid namin nilakad namin yung bureau of immigration, mga ilang metro lang naman yun pero sa dinaanan namin andameng mga taong grasa kuno at mga mababahong karinderya na hinding-hinde ko kakainan...ewwww(ang arte no??? hehe...gago)...hehe...

pagdating nag-CR agad kami kasi antagal ng byahe...akala ko parang Guinobatan-Legazpi* lang ang layo yun pala'y aabutin kami ng halos dalawang oras sa tindi ng traffic...pagkatapos mag-bawas ng kelangan bawasan dumeretso kami sa taas, sa Commisioner's office para mai-pasa yung documents at maiasikaso yung kelangan asikasuhin...pagdating sa office...putangina sarado pa pala!!! Christmas party daw nila kagabi kaya puyat sila at di makapasok...ano ba naman yun...grabe...sana nagsabi man lang yung nakausap ni mami na after lunch na pumunta...hayy naku...mag-aantay pa ng ilang oras...hmpf...

so umalis muna kami...nag-snack kami sa isang sikat na sikat na food chain na malapit lang doon at maya-maya'y namasyal at pinagmasdan ang makasaysayang walled city of intramuros na punum-puno ng historical landmarks na taon na lang guguho na't andameng lumot na nakapaligid...nakakaawa...di man lang i-restore o ayusin man lang...oh well...ganyan talaga...hehe....

Bumalik na kami sa immigration kahit hinde pa 1:00. Wala pa rin daw na tao at pinapabalik na naman kami mamaya. Pero nung panahon na yun marami na kaming nag-aantay dun sa labas ng Commissioner's office, so we weren't alone that time...

Then biglang me dumating na lalake...me hinahanap sa loob ng office. Pinapasok naman sya at maya't maya'y lumabas na silang dalawa. Sinabi nung sekyu na mukhang kasama sa marines na sumalakay sa Oakwood tsaka Manila Pen na kasapi diumano ni Sen. Trillanes -nosebleed! putangina!- at ni Gen. Lim na bumalimbing at bumalik sa loving arms ni Kagalang-galang na Pangulo ng Pilipinas (sheeeet...sana hinde ako kasuhan nito...putsa) na mag-sa-submit kami ng papers para sa application ng Dual Citizenship namin. Buti naman at tumulong...pero honestly, parang uneasy sya nun. Para bang me hidden agenda ba...tsktsk.

Tapos...hinde kami pinapasok sa office. Dun daw namin aasikasuhin sa kabilang building. Hmmm...bakit kaya??? Is there something going on in that office? Me milagro bang nangyayari at hinde pwedeng pumasok ang hinde taga-immigration? Me bentahan ba ng drugs? Or a prostitution den which have european and american illegal aliens who were forced to become prostites to pay up for their debt for overstaying? Or are they keeping aliens(from other planets of course) and not letting others see them because they are part of a conspiracy of some sort? Or maybe...ah ewan...basta me duda talaga ako sa opisinang yun...

Doon me mga finil-upan kaming mga papeles, nagbayad nung fee, at nag-fingerprinting. Akala ko tapos na kami. Yun pala kelangan pa ng 4 na 2x2 pic para dun sa mga finil-upan namin...sheeet naman...sabi sa checklist 2 lang...ano ba naman yun!!! potaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...me hidden agenda talaga eh...I can feel it! waaaaaaaaaaah!....*inhale, exhale**inhale, exhale**inhale, exhale**inhale, exhale*...hmmmmpppffff...

Nico, keep your cool...isipin mo na lang kakarmahin din sila...na masasagasaan sila ng truck pag-uwi nila...na me lilipad na espada sa leeg ng mga nanay nila at mapupugutan ang ulo...na they will be abducted by aliens someday and their brains will be fried and frozen at the same time after being examined and studied...na puputulan sila ng mga ari nila ng mga misis nila(mga lalake sila eh) pag nahuling nambababae (o kahit hinde)...na...tama na siguro yan...

The clock went 12 noon at umalis na muna kami para mag-lunch. Naghanap kami ng nagtitinda ng lutong-bahay lang na may gulay din. We ended up sa isang Bacolod-based resto that specializes in inasal na manok. I ordered it, Naomi ordered sizzling bangus, Mom and Nadine had La Paz Batchoy. Sadly, we weren't really satisfied with it, kaya lang ang mahaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!! putangina yun...

Bumalik agad kami para tapusin na yung kelangan tapusin. Nagpapicture kami dun(sabi kasi nung lalake doon daw kc automated) na 6 pieces for 100php. Ampapanget namin dun...ako in-edit kasi tayu-tayo yung buhok ko(nagmukha akong bading)...si Nadine parang killer na di ko maintindihan...si mama parang nabuhusan ng pagkadami-daming cooking oil sa mukha...at si Naomi parang bagong gising...sheeeeeeeeeeeeeT! Pero mabuti na yun kesa naman alien kami dito sa bansa namin...hehe

Pinabalik na kami sa office for submission of the papers na finil-upan namin. Balikan na lang daw namin sa second week ng January. Pero mga March na siguro namin babalikan...hehehe. Hayyyyy salamat.

Nag lumisan kami sa tanggapan ng Bureau of Immigration -noseblid ulet!-, naisipan naming tumungo sa Quiapo para mamasyal at mag-sightseeing dun...hwehe... Bumaba kami dun sa may entrance ng underpass na pagkadami-dami ng tao na labas-pasok doon. Marami ding mga namumulubi dun, syempre. Laking gulat ko na lang nang makita ko sa may hagdan ang isang bata na...naku, paano ba maidedescrbie 'to...uhmmm...imaginin mo ang day-old chick na tinitinda sa Quiapo...parang ganun...nakahiga sa kahon at di makagalaw...me hawak na plastic container na kung saan dito ilalagay ang ibibigay ng taong awang-awa sa bata at bibigyan ng pera para matulungan ang bata pero in the end ay kukunin ito ng magulang nya para magtong-its sa kanto...tsktsk. Sa kabilang hagdan madami din...at me batang nakahiga din...ngayon nama'y may hydrocephalus...

Paglabas sa underpass pumunta kami sa paboritong tindahan ng Hopia ni Mama nung high school siya. Andame, iba't ibang klase...hopiang munggo, ube, kundol, baboy...ilan lang yun sa napakaraming variations ng hopia dun. Pagkatapos 'tumikim', bumili kami ng isang puno ng styro nung special hopia munggo na niluto sa 100% corn oil....grabeeeeeeh...ang saraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!! wooooh! hwehehehe...

Pagkatapos ng mga ilang libot umuwi na kami sa Dasma. Pero bago makarating dun naligaw kami...nakupow! nakalimutan na ni mama ung daan palabas. Buti me napag-tanungan kami at nakarating kami sa me simbahan. Bumili muna si mama ng gamot sa original na Mercury Drug at me nakita akong...wag n lang...hwehehe... Nakasakay din kami agad ng jeep pabalik sa Lawton...pagbaba namin eh maya't may dumating na ring bus papuntang Dasma...

pagpasok ko sa tindahan, ngumiti na lang ako kila mama, taz hinanap ko ung binigay nilang line-up...laking gulat ko na lang na makita ko ang...guess what...may pera...200 pesos...bagong-bago, at naka-stapler dun sa lineup na binigay nila...susunduin daw nila ako bukas, sa election day...patay

ngayon, problema ko na kung ano gagawin ko sa pera...kung gagawin ko ang tama, na isoli sa kanila, o maging wais, at magtago na lang...ah ewan, bahala na...

wow...I just can't believe it...vote buying sa sk elections...tsktsk...paano na ang future ng philippine politics kung pati yung mga batang 15-17 taong gulang na tatakbong mga batang legislator sa kanilang barangay...

let this be a lesson for all of you...don't make anything foolish just because you want to win a position in the government...

this is not to break people, or to discriminate...ang gusto ko lang eh maipahayag ang katotohanan...yun lang naman...

maraming salamat...

Racism and the Filipinos

2007-10-11T17:25:00.000+08:00

Racism and racial discrimination has been a very big issue of people around the world – by skin color, ethnicity and culture, notably colored people like Africans and other blacks, and of course, Filipinos are not exemptions. Just a few days ago, US-based sitcom Desperate Housewives had one episode which insulted Filipinos, medical schools and practitioners in particular. It was actress Teri Hatcher who said the controversial line which went like this: “Can I take a look at those diplomas? I just want to make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines.” The entire archipelago, especially the Philippine Medical Association and the doctors themselves were alarmed and demanded a public apology from the ABC Network, who aired the said sitcom.

This, however, is not a new issue. There are a lot of instances where discrimination against Filipinos have been rampant in several parts of the world, especially the United States, who ironically, were colonizers of the islands for almost half a century. We have been called ‘domestic helpers’, ’monkeys’ and several more others which deeply insulted the Filipinos. Well, I believe that we ourselves made our image bad to others, thanks to scandal after scandal and, as how much I hate to say it, our influence of excess colonial mentality.

According to some sources, several American actors and actresses have said some displeasing words and comments, as if the Filipinos are likened to monkeys and some say they are just downright stupid and indolent, and the Philippines is just like a piece of garbage. One example would be famous singer Mariah Carey. After hearing our very own Regine Velasquez sing, she said: “So, the monkey can sing…” and another one is the motion picture “The Animal” starring comedian-actor Rob Schneider, which repeatedly insulted the Filipinos through the lines, which was supposedly funny. But I’m pretty sure that the Filipinos didn’t find that funny.

Growing up, I have encountered people who look at people by skin color, ethnicity and culture. Sounds familiar? Yes, racists, I know. But these people who I am talking about is, guess what…Filipinos! Yes, we are racists ourselves (as for some people, that is), for we only appreciate those with light skin and we tend to discriminate those with darker skin. Another disturbing fact is some other Filipinos deny that they are Filipinos, and they even pretend they are Malaysians, Thais, even Americans.

This made me realize, that in the end, these Filipinos are degraded and discriminated by others, is only a fabrication of their own deeds. The government is dirty, scandals are rampant, and we Filipinos would rather work abroad as domestic helpers than professionals or government/private employees locally. I think its about time to change, make it a better place, so we can make ourselves better in front of other nations.

da tour...

2007-10-07T15:47:00.000+08:00

Naga City is the centre of commerce of Camarines Sur, and likewise one of the busiest cities in the Bicol Region. There are a lot of commercial buildings, flourishing industries and top-of-the line universities and schools like the Ateneo de Naga and the Holy Rosary Major Semnary. Not to be left behind are national landmarks and musems showcasing the exquisiteness and splendor of Naga during colonial times.

Last July 28, 2007, we had an educational tour there that will also act as our midterm project for our MS 1 subject, Philippine History, since the venues will showcase old artifacts and museum attractions which will be significant to the lessons and the subject matter itself. We left Legazpi City at around 9 in the morning. I sat with some friends at the back seat of the bus. We fooled around, exchanged jokes and stories and had a lot of fun even before the tour itself.

Our first stop was the Basilica Minore, a large, modernized church erected by former first lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos just before the proclamation of the martial law. It was a mix of post-modern and neo-classical architecture. The inside had the feel of western-style churches and cathedrals, though the outside was a bit eastern-style. We did not stay long though, but we did have a chance to see and touch the image of Our Lady of Peñafrancia

Next stop was the Holy Rosary Minor Semnary which had its own Archeological and Ecclesiastical Museum. The former had lots of attractions, some dating 1000 B.C. or older up to the Spanish conquest in 1571. The latter had various memorabilia of the city’s church and seminary – the old pulpit, church bells, old pictures, priestly vestments, and a lot more which depicted how Naga was during Spanish times.

Right after that, we had lunch at the Peñafrancia Resort. We only had a brief stay there, though some students (other students from various departments joined us) took a dip at the pool. We took a few pictures and walked around the resort just before we departed for our next destination, the University of Nueva Caceres Museum. But, in an unexpected turn of events, we were not able to visit the museum since the curator, the one that will supposedly take charge of the tour, had some health issues and was not available.

So, the teachers who accompanied us decided that we return home, and take a long, long rest. It was worthwhile, though we had a few disappointments. I hope to have another historical tour again, but somewhere else. But for now, I find this one good enough.

emo...

2007-09-18T15:56:00.000+08:00

emo...according to urbandictionary.com is 1) a genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

another definition is:
An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.

This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!

hmmmm...

in the philippines...one-side hair, black clothes, and the like...

more of colonial mentality among teenagers...haha...

why on earth pick ab journalism?*

2007-09-17T18:03:00.000+08:00

Why would a former student of a science oriented high school and a graduate of a minor seminary not take either a science course or something like political science or philosophy...but take a degree in AB Journalism? I think it's either weird or just downright stupidity...hehe...

I'm talking about Nico P. Arboleda...yeah, ya'll know who the hell he is...hehe...

In fact, this guy isn't even a good writer...during his school days, not even one of his articles were published by the school paper, even though he became a staffer of that science high school I mentioned a while ago... He did, however got the chance to participate in the 2005 regional secondary schools press conference as a feature writer in English after garnering 3rd place in the division level. Unfortunately, the date of the contest was also the same date of the seminary Christmas party...so he wasn't able to participate. The following year was a different story...this time he didn't even participate in the division level...and the regional level wasn't postponed that time...how sad...huhuhu...

However, because of the widespread damage of the supertyphoon Reming, the Bicol Association of Minor Seminaries (BAMS, i.e. a sort of "meet" among the bicol seminaries)to be held at the seminary was postponed, and the proposed coffee table book was converted to a yearbook for the graduating class...and our "hero"(what was I supposed to name him?) was given the honorary title of Associate Editor...weee! And after that his short life as a journalist seemed to be at an abrupt halt...hehe...so much for someone taking up ab journalism...hehe

Another fascinating thing about this guy is that, in the entrance examination of the school he's in (Bicol University), He qualified for BS Computer Science, his first choice and AB Journalism was only the second choice...He turned it down for unknown reasons and took his second choice, which is a very low quota course, where some who got below quota (BQ) results at the entrance exam take this degree just to get in the university...and they would just shift to another degree after a year...at least he wasn't the only one though...his classmate, now one of his close friends, also turned down a high quota degree...higher than BS Computer Science...which is...guess what? The most in-demand course in the entire archipelago, BS Nursing...yeah! hehehe...

He plans to go to law school someday...his options are Ateneo de Manila, San Beda College of Law and the local school, Aquinas University (UP used to be part of this list, until he learned how hard it is to get there...though he'll still try...). And I don't think AB Journalism isn't anything like political science nor philosophy, but it's almost just like AB English though...

But why journalism? The question still remains unanswered...hehe...

Maybe I took it because of the nice schedule and the absence of Mathematics (I'm terrible with numbers...though I was surprised with my Math in the results of the Nat'l College Assesment Examination and the entrance exam of the Bicol University)...or maybe I just wanted to learn the "art"-_- of journalism and writing before i take up Law after college...whatever dude...hehe
