processing

i'm on the process of having a blog make-over. from the url, blog name to the templates and so on and so forth. i need to cope up with bu's iso certification. hm. seriously, i just want to give my blog a new look (may nagbabasa man o wala). sad to say, i'm having a hard time finding a good template that's why i settle first temporarily with this one. however, if i can't find a better template sooner, maybe this template will last until i decided again to change my blog. haha. well, that's all for now.

ps. maybe you can recommend a site where i can get a free blogger template. thank you! :D

singles night-out

last november 26, our barkada group decided to have a night-out celebrating singleness upon the invitation of mae-anne who just came from broke-up with her boyfriend. (their relationship lasted for one year and something months which i can't remember) actually, it just started from a joke but then the joke turned into reality because everybody would want to celebrate the BREAKDAY of mhe and her bf. i was with angelo, melvin, jade who i fondly called agta, margie, of course mae-anne and kuya bjorn who i though had her monthly menstrual during the night.

it was a rainy-not-so-rainy night. our night-out started with us meeting outside the gates of bucssp. after gathering there, we proceeded to kuya's canteen for our dinner but unluckily kuya doesn't have anything to offer to us. we went to jobee albay and we had our dinner there. it was during dinner where we talked and asked ourselves of where are we going. we have chick-in the bar, greenleaf or embarcadero de legazpi as choices or i think it was a lengthy shortlist. bottomline: mhe wants to drink and have fun and celebrate her breakday. we end up at the neighbor of chick-in the bar - silberbucks cafe and there we drink tanduay ice. TI is not a beer, according to its label it is an alcomix with 5% alcohol content and carbonated water. basically, it tastes like spirte or seven-up. you can't literally taste alcohol so the group drank up to five buckets (most of us are first timers). from moment to moment, someone would propose a cheers for mae-anne and for singleness and for the date 26 silently saying happy monthsary. what about 26? it was about a different story related to two persons i/we know very much. i don't want to share what i know here because i don't know if one or some of our professors in the department will have the chance to read this. besides, its not mine to share and at this early, i practice CONFIDENTIALITY - a principle that a social worker should always possess and practice. moving on, so all drink TI. thinking in mind that we are only two boys, i make it sure that i will not be drunk because of the girls. no one will assist and usher the girls on their way home if they will be drunk. obviously, since it is an alcoholic drink some of our companions was struck by alcohol (i and melvin are the only normal people - by normal, i mean not drunk) namely margie, jade, mhe and angelo. margie barfed and messed the place. mhe also barfed after dancing like a rock star with kuya bjorn. angelo felt dizzy. with jade, she started the english speaking zone. it was because of jade that the group was using english in talking. it just started with her 'i want to go to sleep' and pooof - english speaking na ang lahat. actually, i and melvz, the only normal spirits in the group recorded the english conversations secretly so that we can playback them next week and laugh-laugh and laugh.

so since the girls are wasted. we decided to pause for a while near the capitol to bring back their spirits and consciousness. when they redeemed their consciousness, we went to jade's bhouse and sent her off to the terminal going to pilar for she will be going home to masbate. margie slept at mae-anne's bhouse. after mhe and margie went home. i, melvin and angelo, my lakwatchero brothers (brother is not fit to angelo) decided to go to jollibee-albay district to eat and continue our storytelling and just eat and spend the time. it was the second 26 we are together. the first during the parokya ni edgar concert at BU. 26 is very significant and i'm glad i'm part of it.

meetmycollegefriends

this is my mababangis friends.

why mababangis? because of the wildlife. if i can remember it right,

i was the pasimuno of the term mababangis when we went to albay wildlife park.

then, the use of animal petnames such as pagong, tutubi, langgam, butiki atbp

added to the mababangis name. since, mababangis is such a long name,

we are using MnT as alternative.

we are all 2nd year social work majors except

for kuya bjorn who already had her diploma.

yehey! i just surpassed my 100th post mark. more and continued blogging til my the 1000th post.

just the way you are

i don't know but before going to sleep, i often found myself listening to

the song. probably waiting for or thinking of someone whom i can

dedicate the song to. oo, masaya maging single pero nakakamiss din.

but it's okay for me because right now, i don't have any plans for

anything related to love, puso or kung ano mang related things.

just like what i always tell angelo, my priorities for now are different.

well, ako na naman ang tamad so i decided to just posts pictures of my week. just like in BBC, here is my week in pictures (but then this is just a very small fraction of many happenings this week)

during one of our tambay sessions at McDonald's Daraga.

i'm with kuya bjorn and roxee.

THIS IS MY BEST PICTURE WITH RONALD MCDONALD!

actually, ronald was there because of the birthday party of caleb.

and kids around him would pounce him with balloons that's why you can't barely see him

in the photo above.

me and roxee with ronald now seen!

my amnesia girl...

ayon sa census, may 11 million tao sa metro manila... kung nasayo na sya, papakawalan mo pa siya?

(i guess that's not the exact line, but that's what i remember. :) )

blah.blah.blah. it was such a long time after i watched a movie in a cinema. we always plan but that plan always remain a plan. this time, we decided to actually watch. we watch my amnesia girl. actually i personally exerted effort just for us to see it because it's very timely (banat times) and i just feel watching it over hp which i am not interested in.

well, i like the movie. inspiring kumbaga. someday, when the right time comes, i would like to do what apollo did just to prove his love for irene. post-it notes, birthdays or something like that. their love story or their closeness especially during their first relationship was very wow. ang sarap talagang mainlove. nakakamiss. lagi ko ngang sinasabi sa mga kaibigan ko na excited na akong mainlove.

ikaw, oo ikaw! alarm clock ka ba? kasi ginising mo ang natutulog kong puso!

it's russ

enjoying is always a choice. well, it's always me choosing happiness in midst of pressure be it academically related, extra-acad or just plain pressure disturbing me and my simple life. well, this post is simply related to my previous blog post where i express my concern about some of my subjects despite my optimism. well, that concerns are now gone with the wind. i'm actually enjoying my second semester and i can say my professors and my subjects ROCKS!

PEswimming. i'm getting darker and darker every week partly because of our pe class from 9 - 11 in the morning every friday and the extreme heat in albay most of the days. well, after all, i think i personally passed my personal test. i wore trunks (i think my first time since elementary days), exposed my baby fats and i guess i'm starting to learn how to swim. YES! sa wakas!

speech&oralcom. i like this subject very much. 3 hours a week of talk talk and talk. sharing your ideas freely and hearing your classmates speak in english like never before. our professor, ms. roda (at night) would always let the class talk about their own opinions.

worldliterature. we're just starting because of the misinformation caused by the registrar, our teacher waiting at MP201 while the class waiting at MP312. luckily, because terelle and i felt that there maybe something room because of several missed meetings, we proceeded to the cal faculty, look at the faculty tracker and found out that our professor is in the other room. we proceeded there and the rest of the class followed afterwards. well, dr. bartolata, the department head of English Department of BUCAL is very soft-spoken, approachable and nice though she's suffering from chronic laryngitis (if i got it right.) our class is one only of the five class she currently handles. pinili daw kasi ang magagaling (joke).

developmentalpsychology&personalgrowthandprocesses. two different major subjects both handled by prof. sales, my favorite teacher. no boring second in every subject and i'm very excited to make the book of myself. designing, editing, making articles and so on from cover to cover by being very me.

rizal'slife&works. i'm a non-rizalist and if i am to choose between rizal and bonifacio, i would choose bonifacio more. but then, what makes this subject unique is because of our professor. she transforms our class to a singing class, singing beatles' songs and she has a very unique way of telling stories to the class that would make the class laugh out loud. madam estor ROCKS!

well, second semester is just starting up. more to come for sure! :D

parehas kami.

para pala akong blog ko,

left-out na nga, out-dated pa.

i'm having a pretty busy time and katamadan time as well.

thus, my blog is out-dated about what's new and what's happening to me.

with regards to me, yun na yun. left-out. haha. :D

scuaa 2010

after 9 years, the Bicol State Colleges and Universities Athletics Association is back to the home of champions - Bicol University. the SCUAA is a sporting event with its main aim of promoting regional solidarity through sports wherein SUCs from the region competes for championship. the competing SUCs are Bicol University (BU), Camarines Norte State College (CNSC), Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges (CSPC), Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA), Catanduanes State College (CSC), Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memoral State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT). The five day sporting spectacle opened on November 8, 2010 at BU Sports Complex with Gov. Joey Salceda and Mayor Geraldine Rosal witnessing the opening program. the BU Hataw was part of the hataw wherein i am one of the thousand freshmen and sophomore students dancing at the same time in one tune. it was unique this time for while the students are dancing, two air force helicopter flew above and showered confetti all over the sports complex. The sporting spectacle ended with BU retaining the championship. congrats BU! :)

try ko kaya?

parang gusto kong magpaKALBO. try lang.

pero kung seryoso ako, SEMI-KALBO na lang. haha. :D

**i'm wondering why colors do not appear on this post and my former posts in my blog page.

hindi ko tuloy naeemphasize ang gusto kong maemphasize. :|

start

tomorrow, i will be going back to legazpi city, south of comfort zone to face the second semester of my academic life. well, just like what i usually say to my friends, i'm pretty optimistic with the second semester except maybe for two subjects, pe4 and speech communication.

pe4 - they call it recreation and youth leadership but pe4 students will actually have their swimming class. swimming? i can't really swim but i am lucky though because i have my height. yeah! advantage in the sense that while my classmates (who are just like me - non-swimmers) will have hard time standing on their feet at the pool, i can still manage to stand. haha. but then the wearing of trunks parts is another thing that makes me nervous. i am a little shy with my baby fats. haha. my classmates would actually see my baby fats. good luck! haha. good thing i browse the photos of mae paner aka juana change. her courage is simply amazing! what i am talking about, see it for yourself.

with the speech communication, actually, i think the only thing that makes me nervous with the course is the university speech choir competition. haha. may God help us!

hmm. but then, though i am not really confident with pe4 and speechcom, that doesn't mean that i will not do something or just let the wind flow. it's a challenge to conquer. soo, let the battle begin! second semester, HERE I COME!

isimplymissthem

nakakalungkot isipin na masaya sila kahit wala ka. ni parang hindi ka nga nila naaalala. tipong, kung hindi ka magparamdam, walang mangyayari. kung hindi ka magtext, hindi rin sila magtetext. kung hindi ka magdadrama, walang ring mangyayari. well, i don't have anything against them because first and foremost, i myself have my own pagkukulang and maybe because of that, we can call it a tie. haha. well, i just miss them. the old people whom i shared stories and ideas with. the people who were with me for four years (and counting, if i am right). the people who have shared a piece of their lives with me. the people who help me become who am i. well, the people i call friends. the people whose names are rica, alekks, trixia-taba, rufo, erron, alfred, queng, jo, publicfrenemyno1-aila, at iba pa. plus yayen, kitz, katkat, hani, cj, seban, vinz, ate gigi and others.

grabeng drama ano? maybe some of them (if there's any) would laugh if they would read this. sabagay, sabi nga ni angelo (my college friend), "mas sanay kasi ang tao sa lighter side mo, sa pa-joke-joke or kung seryoso, parang hindi seryoso." maybe some of them would see that i am just joking. but i am not. haha. i simply miss my friends and that's it. after all, walang masama kung mamimiss mo ang mga kaibigan mo. hope to see them soon. :D

bad russ

today is the most unique day of my semestral break here in naga. haha. actually, this semestral break is kinda odd because from the start of the break up but not up to this day, i have not went strolling at the malls or even go out of the subdivision except of course, for the polangui-undas trip our family had. hmm. today is unique for finally, i had the chance to go out and see naga city centro and some of it's changes kung meron man kahit sa loob lang ng van. actually, our destination was lcc mall in sabang which is not that near to the centro. so we stayed there for just a little time because my parents bought what they needed. well, nakasali ako. binilihan ako ng bagong shorts so thank you mama and papa. haha.

but then the uniqueness of this day ended up with me saying to myself - bad russ.

first bad russ - i just learned that starting tomorrow, we will start our classes for the second semester especially with our major subjects and since i have decided from the start of the break that i will not likely attend the first day of classes if it will be held prior to november 8, i will miss the first day of my second semester major subjects. nakakalungkot because i would usually love to attend first day of classes. well, there's the second meeting to anticipate for. what's bad with that: skipping or being absent for the first meeting of your second semester class.

second bad russ - i have offended a teacher, worst, my favorite teacher in the department because i have posted her video while giving a sample to us during our final evaluation for the showcase of talents without her approval. i simply hate the feeling of offending others. nonetheless, i have sent my apology letter and explanation through facebook and i'm also planning to apologize personally when we meet next week. i also deleted the video and pictures related to the incident. what's bad with that: everything!

tomorrow, i'm hoping for a shift in the tide. well, i'm just hoping that tomorrow's gonna be a good day.

confused

well, today we commemorate the day of the saints but since the Filipinos have been used to celebrate all saints day and all soul's day together, it makes this day the day of the both. haha. i'm not pretty confused with that and i guess i never will. but one thing is making me confused and this is bothering me through the entire duration of the semestral break. for one thing, there is something wrong (SERIOUSLY) with Bicol University. like, the last time my friends checked for the start of the classes for second semester the dean's office said that it will be on the 15th of November but when we inquired in the Campus Registrar, Mr. Abino said that it is scheduled on the 3rd of November.

another thing that worsen my confusion is the fact that BU College of Science, where my sister is currently taking up his BS Biology degree, will have the start of their enrollment on the 3rd. what's happening to Bicol University? yuhooo! well, bottomline, marami na kaming naguguluhan kung kailan ang start of classes sa BU. sa 3, 8 or 15 ba?
