advocacy?

naglipana ang ganitong post sa fb particularly sa group page ng batch namin ng high school. kinonek pa sa breast cancer. tsktsk. mga taong wala asyadong magawa sa buhay. haha. peace! :D

good old days

i was about to take my written exam which is one of the requirements for a driver's license at LTO last may 24 in the afternoon at 1:00 pm. however, i ended up helping my brother dan in enrolling at UNC because i was not that punctual enough thus, arriving at the examination venue 10 minutes after 1:00. kaya ayun, hindi ako naka-exam. that's why i was reminded to be punctual though i can say that it's not because of me why i am late but because of Dan's some sort of kabagalan. but then it's okay. blaming should stop. bottomline, this experience reminded me of this one. haha. good old high school days! :D

superRUSS

probably you laughed upon seeing the "badly" photoshoped picture of superRUSS. well, again, it is not known to many that i am regarded by atleast two friends as superman. sabi ko nga ay kung si kuya harry daet ang spiderman ng cssp, ako naman ang superman. well, actually it started with kuya lou lauraya who happens to be the BU presidential son and an incoming senior of social work and then the story continued. poknat also calls me superman because according to her, i'm kinda her savior and mavic calls me superman because she thinks that i can do anything or just everything (which is humanly impossible. haha)

of course, i'm flattered with me being associated to superman. it's a whoah! because how come i can be associated to superman. i don't have special powers like the power of flight and the superstrength but perhaps they called me because that's what they see and i thanked them. but then just like spiderman's famous quote, with great power comes great responsibility, with them calling me superman would mean that i should always be that superguy in their eyes. gladly, i'm not the kind of person who lives everyday fulfilling the expectations of others towards me for i think it would be better if i will live according to what i want and who i really am. living with the expectations of others comes second only because i am the driver of my life not them. katunayan, when i have the chance, i expose to them and i try to expose to them my weakness point and the not so superguy attitude. haha. that's life! that's reality!

but with the different events that happened during the last month of the recently concluded academic year plus the expected pressures, expectations, twist and turns of the junior year in social work (if ever i passed the battery exam), i just think i literally need to become a superman or let's just say superRUSS and let me dissect the different reasons/factors on why is that so.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR. first on my cape, i got on my hands a university based organization but its not a simple UBO - The Order of the Bicol University Blue Feather Society: The Official Honor Society of BU. it is the organization of the cream of the crop of BU. the top 10 and top 15 of the different colleges/units of BU. worse, i am the president or the chancellor once the new draft of the constitution is finalized. actually, our term should end august of AY2011-2012, however, my co-officers are thinking of extending our term so that we could finish one academic year considering the facts that we are elected just one month before the closing of AY2010-2011. Dr. Bibi and the assistant dean of the BU Office of Student Services said that i should be up for reelection once a new election happens on august or perhaps july after we have finished laying the foundations of the organization but i don't really know. for now, i'm into the idea of not running for reelection but i think i can change my mind as the days pass. well, it's not just hard but it's very hard handling a UBO. Second on my cape under extra-curricular is the HUMAN WELFARE ADVOCATES. well, just this march i was promoted from being the HWA secretary by being elected as president with overwhelming votes with Angelo fielded as my opponent but then suggested that voters should vote for me instead thus it's as if i don't have any contender to the presidency. well, HWA is just a small organization, a college based organization and is the organization of all the students of the social work department. eventhough, it's a small organization, soo much is expected from HWA being the Best College Based Organization for AY 2010-2011 and the constant successes it enjoyed during the past years. meaning, i with my officers should strive to maintain the title and to even surpass what last year's hwa had done.

ACADEMIC PRESSURES. Maintain, Improve, Keep whatever academic achievements i have and the rest is self-explanatory being true to any student. haha. :p

THESIS. Though part of academic pressures, thesis deserves a lone spot because of the fact that this is the major stressor of the junior life. sleepless nights, tiresome data gathering, brain cracking write-ups and re-writes - more to come and yet again, the rest is self-explanatory. perhaps i can also add here our counselling subject and the practical for counselling. well, counselling is not that easy.

LOVELIFE. first question, meron ba? haha. hmm. i don't know but just like what i wrote in my Ten Years From Now article in the book of myself, junior year is my lovelife year but i don't think so. if ever, wawa man future girlfriend ko kaya wag na lang. i think i'll just wait until i finish college. haha.

OTHERS. these includes friends (MNT/BESTFRIENDS/NAGA FRIENDS), family and such other things.

well, they are truly some of the facts but i must say that after all, i am quite confident that at the end of Academic Year 2011-2012, i can proudly say that I MADE IT! better yet I MADE IT WITH FLYING COLORS! i am very optimistic and just like what i always bear in mind, positive thinking will transform into positive results. haha. :D

MY decemberFEST

well, i planned to do all my updated posts that should have been posted days or should i say months before. but then, sad to say, i really did not succeed in executing my plan. but then, i believe it's not that late so i'll try to cope up with my supposedly done postings but i'll do it briefly and concise.

moving on, december is always my most awaited month aside from june (which happens to be my birth month) because of the different atmosphere that the Christmas celebration brought and the upcoming entry of a new year plus the sometimes cool temperature that we experience considering the fact that we are used to hot and not-so-hot temperatures. well, speaking of december, i really don't have a plan except the fact that we will celebrate Christmas yet many activities aside from the Christmas celebration itself pushed through. so here is a glimpse of my december:

December 3

Farah's 18th Birthday Celebration at Tabaco City. i was one of the few bucssp-social work students who attended her birthday. nakakahiya kasi, personal niya pang ini-abot ang invitation so despite my colds and sinat, i pushed through in attending her celebration. besides, after her shift in bu tabaco social work, this is the only time that we will see her again. moreover, since she also gained friends in TC (tabaco campus), she also invited them. however, it's so weird that when we arrived, they all... poof! - decided to go home even though they really have no plans of going home yet. tsktsk. moving on, the celebration was okay and we stay in tabaco over night.

December 6

Presentation of Proposed Activities of HWA to the Social Work Faculty. my activity was moved and will be fused with other activities to create the 32nd Social Work Days with me as one of the activity chairs.

December 10

Second Human Welfare Advocates General Assembly. we presented the accomplishments and the proposed activities for the 2nd Semester of the organization before its members for their perusal.

Doming's Birthday. who's doming? he is a AB Political Science student who was never my classmate. i mean, he was the classmate of my friends from the other block in one class and since he is the friend of my friends, friends na kami. parang ganun yun. that's why even we're not that close, i still attended his birthday celebration at his house.

First Flag Retreat in my College Life. our organization is the host of the flag retreat this week and since, i am one of the officers plus one of the college student council officers plus nagtatambay lang, i attended the first flag retreat that i actually attended in my college life. i even asked my classmates to join.

Boys Night-Out. i really felt heavy these days. maybe because of disappointment over my friend's unenthusiastic response over our planned Christmas get together and celebration that's why i joined mj in his/her (he's actually a lesbian) request for a night out.

December 15

2 hour special Swimming Class. since we did not meet last time, our professor called for a special class. we actually had our practical exams and gladly i passed with flying fishes. haha. joking aside, i passed the practical exam though i was expecting that i would fail. thank God!

December 16

Christmas Outreach 2010 at Barangay Burgos in Daraga. Barangay Burgos is actually a rural barangay in Daraga with agriculture and pamaypay making as its primary source of income (based on my observations). the class spend some time with the day care children of burgos acting like santa claus. facilitating games, giving foods, gift giving and picture taking are among the activities we did to share the spirit of Christmas and bring the university closer to the community.Moreover, aside from the burgos outreach, i also took part in the outreach of the first year block a in Mabini with Senior Citizens as their beneficiaries as my hwa assignment with melvin. i realized that dealing with lolos and lolas was never really that hard as what i imagined at first. actually, when i see lolos and lolas , there is a strange feeling of 'awa' that struck me out of nowhere. that's why seeing them smile and laughed really touched my heart and made me feel that 'HEY THIS IS CHRISTMAS!' ps. i actually participated in the parlor games especially in the one with the talong. :P

ps. first time kong kumain ng DINUGUAN at hindi pa masarap. tsktsk

December 17

MnT Christmas Celebration and Get Together. After the disappointment, the get together still pushed through. we spend the night swimming and telling stories, sharing laughters and non-sense with sense talks at Manhattan Resort in Sto. Domingo, Albay. It was also my first time in Sto. Domingo. sadly, we didn't have the opportunity to roam around sto. domingo. however, we went to Sto. Domingo Church. their plaza and municipal building is quite spanish looking as if they were preserved since the spanish years just like in Guinobatan.

LAST DAY OF CLASSES FOR 2010!

December 18

Aside from the fact that this is the day when i left Legazpi City to spend the Christmas break in Naga, this is the 2010 Kantang Jovenes: A Christmas Caroling Contest day wherein the City Youth Officials 2010 sponsored the activity. actually, i only helped during the pre-contest preparations such as drafting the contest's mechanics and guidelines, preparing the registration forms and the contest 'logo'. I was able to attend the contest eventhough i arrived in Naga at around 5 pm and that's my additional help: presence.

December 22

Biglaang Food and Ukay-ukay Trip with Jo and Bstfrnd. it was really biglaan. bstfrnd just pm me jo sent me a message in fb inviting me to join them eat. i was really tamad that time at ako na ang tamad. i made them wait for 42 minutes because of the distance of del rosario to centro. haha. well, i enjoyed the food trip. it was nice seeing jo after 7 months and rica again after 10 months. nakakamiss din! thanks jo and bstfrnd! and thanks jo again for the food. :D

December 23

Biglaang Bisita ni Teacher Jaki and Kevin. Teacher Jaki and Kevin are part of my elementary buddies and we live in one subdivision. they decided to pay a surprise visit because it was years when we last saw each other. probably, four or five years. since, teacher jaki is here, we planned to have a mini-jamming/reunion by asking our former classmates and teachers john and zach to join. December 27 was the date of the mini-jamming/reunion.

December 24

CHRISTMAS EVE. We attended the Christmas Mass as a family and ate Noche Buena when the midnight struck.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

December 25

Polangui. We went to Polangui and visited our relatives on the mother side.

December 27

Kathy's Birthday

NCSHS Alumni Homecoming. Hindi sana ako mag-attend but because of some underlying factors and people, i decided to attend. I actually stayed for just about an hour since i also have another event to attend to. nonetheless, i still enjoy! seeing my former classmates and friends after some time feels good. i saw mara after (1 year and 2 months), angela (after 7 months), red, jomari, mikee, darren (after 9 days), alfred, jo, claudz, alekks, tin-tin, france, johannes, nikki, kathy, yayen, kitz, iris, dada, erron (namiss ko to!), and so on and so forth.

MdeP Mini-Jamming/Reunion. Bar hopping at magsaysay. we started at Bob Marlin, Mico/Nico (i don't really know) Arch - the one with the ship like facade but no vacant seats, Clubm8 but was closed until midnight, and finally teen-teen's. It was an all-expenses paid by teachers john, zach and jaki. thank you teacher. i had fun remembering those MdeP days.

December 28 - 29

Sipocot. Had time with my relative on the father side, played with my 1-7 years old cousins that's why i realized that nakakamiss din pala ang maging 3-5 years old na bata, missed the opportunity to join mama in her field to Caima (a rural barangay in Sipocot with 45 minutes - 1 hour ride from centrosipocot and 2 hours walk). bottomline, ENJOY!

December 30

Biglaang Bonding with Alekks. postponed na bonding namin nila alekks, trixia, rica and rufo pero natuloy kami ni alekks. CRITICS for a DAY. Double Down sa KFC na nagtataka pa rin ako kung bakit hindi up and down. RPG Metanoia, the first Philippine full length 3D movie na hindi napanood namin ng hindi 3D (sayang!)

December 31

NEW YEAR'S EVE! Attended the New Year Mass, nagpaputok ng lucis at kumain ng cake for media noche.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

reunion part I

it was such a surprise seeing and talking to one of my childhood friends and teacher after such a long time of just a mere his and hellos. kevin and teacher jaki went to our house today and we have a good time of story telling. teacher jaki, our elementary adviser and teacher, told us her hong kong stories plus her travels to israel and thailand and she actually discouraged us from working abroad. well, the time did not suffice our story telling sessions so we actually decided to have a night-out of december 27. that's the part II. :D

btw, i think i will not be attending the 2010 homecoming of NCSHS alumni which also falls on the 27th because of some personal reasons such as my belief that it is too early for me to attend the homecoming since it was just only two years from the date of our graduation if i am right. haha. :p

oo nga!

hmm. i would agree sa post ni jowhee about how degrading minsan ang pagcompare sa mga schools na pinapasukan ng mga students. i can say that somehow that naencounter ko na rin yun. but the best thing that i should do is by excelling in classes and in life thus, proving them na wala naman tlaga sa school mo yun kundi nasa iyong mga kamay. dba jowhee?

at dahil nasuper extra ako sa blog ni jowhee eh nararapat lang na mgblog-back ako (parang text lang oh). haha. hmm. well jowhee, i'm okay and i'm doing good (i think). hmm. actually, hindi na ako nakakabasa ng mga kwento mo when i decided to stop blogging but when i changed my mind just this summer lang eh nagbasa naman ako ulit. haha. hmm. ikaw? kumusta? at kumusta ang pag-adjust? hmm. sa akin, i can say that i'm off to a good start though nmmiss ko na yung mga dating kasa-kasama ko most of the time. like you, i was thinking that it was really okay to be somehow separated to them but then nkkmiss pa rin lalo na kapag free time mo at may klase sila. pro on the positive side. kagaya nga ng sabi mo eh atleast this is a chance to have new friends. i can say hindi naman mahirap maglet go dahil hndi naman talaga kailangang i-let go. malay ko magkaklase ulit kami next sem or next week. but despite being separated sa mga friends eh aus naman at kayang-kaya. haha. sbi ko nga noon eh challenge.

hmm. though hindi koo nabasa ung post mo about mind-setting, i believe na kailangan ang mind-setting para mgsurvive at kagaya nga ng sinabi kailangan nating isiping masaya tayo pro parang mas maganda kung do good, feel good at think good. haha. after all, may reason kung bakit nangyayari ang mga bagay na ito. haha.

sigesige doc jowhee. haha. till next tym!

ps. may tanong ako? haha. hindi ka naman galit sa ALL CAPS na post mo? haha. joke lang!

like***

it all started with a *like. hmm. nakita ko ang post ni ma'am jen, it was a link to the video on the proclamation of president-elect noynoy aquino with some text which says no to this, no to that and that and this which i believe is right. so seeing it, i pressed the like button and poooop! it bacame coco cruch. haha.

well, there's nothing really extraordinary in here except the reply of ma'am jen to my *like which is soo long and contains some flashbacks of the lessons from first year which maybe can justify that ma'am jen is so mastering her lessons and blahblahblah. tanong? si ma'am jen ba ang teacher namin sa araling panlipunan noon?? haha.

an eye for an eye. a toothpick for a tooth

today, i formally relinquished and ended my position as the Supreme Student Government President of Naga City Science High School by submitting the Annual Accomplishment of the SSG for School Year 2008-2009 to the office of the principal. wats next? i don't know for now... but one good thing that happened to me was that i was able to be introduced to the incoming freshmen by the mr. alferez. soo unexpected.

mau russ... maluya ang napiling president ngunyan.
maluya ang brigada... maluya ang donations.

the above-stated statement is a statement given to me by one of my favorite teachers in the school. well, i can say that i must be thankful to that teacher for all the helps that he have given to the SSG, making our job easier as expected. i must be thankful to him for being understanding and supportive. in fact, i am really thankful hoping that someday maibabalik ko man kay sir ang gbos na tabang nya sq.

when sir said the statement, two things bubble in my mind. did we set the bar too high for the next president not to reach it but to exceed or did we set the bar that high but that wrongly? for all i know, in my own personal reason, i have done my job to the fullest of my ability. i did it not to gain either popularity or personal advantages because i want it! and i did it because i believe i can. but hey, i can't do it alone! a successful year in the SSG is not because of the president alone but also because of the people around him. in the organization, i can say that i cant do all the things i have done without the help of my fellow officers, in particular it was ALEX who did helped me a lot! so, i would like to take this opportunity to give them their must have accolades salamatoooooon saindo gabos!

going back to the statement... i think that it was given untimely and wrongly. the school year is yet to begin. why judge the incoming president because of the low number of donations? why judge the incoming president because of 'maluyang' brigada? maybe yes! the donations is really that low this year compared last year. maybe yes! maluya ang brigada ngunyan. but come to think of it. this year is differen than last year. problems last year are different this year. circumstances are different. everything is different. one example is that last year, we don't have a teacher-adviser thus forcing us to do it ourselves... this year they do have but for some reasons ma'am nhel is unavailable thus leaving them without a teacher-adviser to guide them. last year, all of the attention was at the brigada but this year attention was divided among the summer classes, summer enrichment classes and others. thus, i can say it's unfair not only for the next president to be judged as 'maluya' considering the circumstances around her and her officers. iba ang ngaun kaysa bukas.

i believed that the incoming president and the incoming officers need not judgment nor inconsideration but support for them to be successful and for them not to reach the bar but exceed that the outgoing SSG have set. as i can say it, nag-uumpisa pa lang ang laban ni krizzia and her fellow officers.. they have more to proved and i believe that they can do it!

to the incoming officers, don't make judgment like the above-stated statement hinder your way but instead make it an inspiration for you to reach you goal and do your job properly thus proving the 'judge' is wrong. you have way to go! but make the most out of it.

to the naguenians of school year 2009-2010, support them. after all, its your support that will help them succeed in the projects.


this is the ncshs ssg president of sy 2008-2009, now signing off...

May 22, 2009. Friday

on the other hand, this day was quite a good day of fun, entertainment and enjoyment. i was able to watch the film 'ANGELS and DEMONS' with my two grlfrnds namely, mara and zelita. kitz, annie, gerona and zaldy. first time q man pti sa SM Cinema. hehe. astig si film! suppeer! nagetz ko! i am so HAPPY! hehe. and first time q mgbucket sa KFC. (plus jemar and alex) hehe.

WHAT A DAY!

here are some of the pics during our lunch at kfc...

*sya nga pala, if ur wondering what is the title of the post all about. well, wala naman. naisip ko lang while doing this post. hehe.

when.good.things.draw.to.its.end.

i have been a student of Naga City Science High School for the last four years. i with my batchmates have experienced the ups and downs, stressful days, sleepless nyts, super duper challenges, cramming, non-stop kalokohan, sermon from our teachers, jammings, overnyts, and many many more that can be summed up to our beautiful and colorful high school life.

naaalala q pa kng first time kming mgkhrlngan that was during the summer enrichment of May 2005. mau pang bstadong iba excpt sa kklase or kschool mo kng elementary. mau png msyadong friends and halos supog png mgpbsto mghello or hi sa mga soon-to-be-classmates and batchmates q. inosente pa sa mga bagay-bagay o sbi ngani kyan mga totoy-totoy pa. i remember then, adjusting was never been to easy. maray na lang may mga bgu kng mga friends na nbsto and nksabay mo sa pag-adjust from being an elementary school boy to a 'handsome' high school teen.

FIRST YEAR: the year of the new year. indeed! i call my first year as the year of the new year simply because it's the year of the new beginning of the four years of my high school life. during the first year, i was with the one-falcon. an awesome group of students having different personalities. the start of the colorful high school life i have experienced. naalala q pa ang mga bagay-bagay like the obedience na igwa ang section mi kdto. kng ngsbi si ma'am na dae mgluwas tlgang dae ngruluwas mski ngbell na. the endless open forums kung sain dae nwwara ang hiribian, ngiriritan and mnsan ang pglala pa ning misunderstandings. ini ang year na irigot pa ang mga tao sa studies and sa mga projects like the song and dance number kng SS Day. inosentihun pa (cguro!).

SECOND YEAR: the year of action. as an expression of a group in the batch says 'MAAKSYUNUN' when i entered second year, i was with star section then. hmm. cguro ngkamali sa pgtype ng name and himalang nksali ako sa star section. but during this year, i together with my batchmates have experienced a lot of actions from biorap.biopageant.etc.etc. this year was actually one of the best years for me aside from the senior year. during this year, kalokohans are slowly forming, friendships cherished and happy moments have doubled in number. sympre, more maturity nman. and also second year kmi ng nngyari ang mutya and lakan. which unexpectedly, ngng emcee aq. pro isa sa pnka-action ng year na to ay ang pgkakaalis or pag-alis ng dalawa nming teacher because of us.

THIRD YEAR: the year of kalokohans. yeah! you hear it right! kalokahans! endless kalokohans have been part of my third year stay in sci.hay. name it all and siguro 3/4 nun nandito sa year nato! also, it was on this year that we have conducted the z games kung saan ngchampion kmi. thnx Bro. it was in this year that i have experienced sleepovers, true sleepless nights, crammings, the 'c' word and many more. sympre mas nggrow ang friendships. different groups have been formed and soo much more. wooh! enjoy!

FOURTH YEAR: the BEST year. hmm. year of mixed-emotions. drama dito-drama doon. tawa dito-tawa doon. super! hai nku. speechless aq. haha. sympre mas maogma ang senior year pro sad to say last shot na. hmm. anu bang masasabi q? BEST YEAR in sci.hay!


its such a privelege for me to be with the zephyrus for my four years journey. hai nku. misz q na kmu. ano pa nga ba? hhe. see you soon guys! salamat sa gbos! animo ZEPHYRUS! by the way, i recovered a poem abt the zephy's stay in the school in my fone's inbox sent by girlfriend'zelita. i guess this was mr. creative-alfred's poem pro dae aq sure and it goes,

Like birds,
We flew and we soared high.


As galaxies,
We went higher than the sky.

Through history,
We have survived.

And now it's time for
the shock of our lives.

From
Falcon, Starling, Nightingale and Phoenix

to
Minkowski, Circinus, Seyfert and Helix

then came
Khmelnytsky, Quintinshill and Chernobyl.

to
Watt, Hertz and Ohms
are proud to be here.

4 years of camaraderie.
4 years of hardship.
4 years of joy, pain, tears and friendship.

ANIMO ZEPHYRUS!

[si sinurat qng reflection after the remembering activity. 03-22-09]

reminiscing the four years stay in high school. i felt happy at the same time sad. the kalokohan, non-stop learning, friendships na nadevelop throughout the years, the laughters, the tears, LAHAT! What an experience with the people i will cherish and treasure. salamat sci-hay! salamat zephyrus! sympre thanks man sa parents q na ngdecide na pklasehun aq sa schi-hay. salamat Bro!

dae mahaloy, masuruwayan na kami. pgng-abot na kmi sa college sympre new people, new friends pro kung may wish man ako, sna dae mi malingawan ang apat na taon na ngkairibahan kmi.

oh! a LOT of things na naexperience! a LOT! saru pa plan nrealize ko. gru nging msamaon aq. i mean the sins or mga kasalan na ngbo ko ksabwat pa ang mga zephy. sorry Lord. i guess tao lang tlga kmi. sorry Lord and sorry sa mga ngibuhan qng kasalan.

i will and always will cherish this high school life experience AS LONG AS I LIVE!

naisip q, i'm very lucky na nakaiba ko ang mga taong ini. its nice na sinda ang nakaiba ko sa mga ups and downs ning high school life ko. these people [zephyrus] will always be in my heart.

masiramun balikan ang mga oras, aldaw asin taon na magkakaibahan kmi. itung mga simpleng bagay like sarabay na pagpusngak ning klase ta may joke, sarabay na 'aaahhhhh' ta may baduy na joke, tarabangan sa gbos na oras, sleepless sleepovers, karantahan sessions, pagtambay sa emall, mga projects na pipiriton kng mgdance and sing and kung anu-ano pa, tambay sa lobby, pgescape sa paglinig, ang pgputok ni donna, panlalatik ni bstfrnd, ngirit ni abee, slang ni girlfriend zelita, katabaan ni trixia, mga dali ni fourth alfred asin kung anu-ano pa mang bagay na sa inot aakalaon mong simplehun lang na minsan masusuya ka ta paulit-ulit na lang nangyayari and soo much more.

i can say that different thoughts are running inside my mind at this moment. kadakol. dae q na aram kung ano ang ilalaag ko digdi. but i can say that i am VERY LUCKY!

graduation is near na! the time for us to go is also near. i don't know what will happen during our college. but as what i have mentioned a while ago, i hope that the friendship and connection na nabuo sa sarong sadit na eskwelahan dae matapos duman kundi sana mas lalo png mgtalubo and maglago sa time goes by. thank you God for giving me this blessing thank you for a wonderful experience with this wonderful people! i will surely miss these people. I LOVE YOU ZEPHY!

exhausted.

hmm. i wasn't able to update my blog for atleast 4 days now but it seems that since my last post para bang ang tagal-tagal na ng lumipas na panahon. hmm. whoah! hndi q nmalayan 14 days na lang kmi sa school, for short 2 weeks na lang kmi mstay and after that mhali na kmi, sbi ngani ni bstfrnd, we're leaving for good.

hmm. anyway, for the last four days na pre-occupied ang mind q ning kung ano mang mga bagay-bagay na dpat pngkakaabalahan ning atmost 27 people but then sad to say, we are only about 3 or 4 na nag-aabala sa mga bagay-bagay na tu. oh well, wala na aqng magagawa dun ksi lumipas na ang mga panahon. pro next week, its payback time. i tell you!

owkie. so whats with me for the last four days. simple man lang. lakaw dgdi, lakaw duman. asikaso dgdi, asikaso duman and so on and so forth. inot sa gbos, ang high school week celebration 2009. if i am not mistaken, ini ang first high school week celebration sa history ning science high school. sympre, first time, we need to create a good impression about the activity para magusto pa ang mga students na mgkaigwa ning masunod na high school week. i asked the help of the ever-obedient year level senators (thank you ira.ivy.lea) na mgpaapod ning batch meeting nnda. first ming nakaulay ang zephyrus, hmm. may nhaman man daw? gru mau aqng natatandaan except sa wall. then, next ang nephthys. dikit lang ang ng-attend then after a short intro of the high school week nghali lang aq agad hoping na may mahahaman cnda. but then sa report sq ni ivy, mau man daa cndang nahaman. but good ksi may nahaman ang mga leaders ning nephythys. just this morning, pnaasikaso q nmn sina ira and lea ning batch meeting ninda. sina ira kuta na ang first qng kakaulayon but then due to some problem nainot sna lea. soo yun, before lunch, i talked to the sysphyphers. glad aq ta dakul-dakul sinda and mas naogma aq ta may mga ideas na sinda about sa high school week. kkaimpress. i love sysphy! hehe. for batch phoenix, we're about to meet. hopefully next week.

second, the forthcoming RakRakan 2009. we need to beat the expectations na igwa sa sadiri mi and lalung-lalo na ang expectations ning kadaklan. the preparation as what i usually says to the SSG is still a big fat ZERO. maray na lang ngkakamang-kamang na ang preparation. siguro masasabi qng mau na kmi sa zero percent. maybe nsa FIVE percent naman kmi for Godsake! thanks bro! but again, there's soo much task to be done.

third, the seniors recollection. the extra-load na knua ning ssg (actually, kinua man lng ni alex, trixh and nksali man lang aq). clear q lang poh, extra-load meaning bku man tlga kmi ang dpat mg-asikaso. pro sad to say, bnatikos pa kmi. haay. ibhun ta kinua mi na si bq mi man bagahe pra lang mgkaigwa ning recollection ang seniors and yet dae pa naappreciate si deed mi. worst, snabhan pa kming lapa. ibhun sa feeling honestly. kaya napahibi si taba. hmm. pro kng nadangog q tu, smile lng aq. hbu q lang ipahiling ang pgkasuya q ta bka suya na aq the whole day kung sakaling ngpakasuya pa aq. and i want to be the equalizer ksi mainit na ulo ni taba and ni alex. soo, for all the seniors out there,

KONTING KONSIDERASYON MAN LANG ZEPHY.
Kung habo nindo ning nakua ming available na recollection, dae man kmi nagpipirit.

by the way, isa pang pngkaabalahan ngaun ay ang CAT Graduation. Happee Graduation Seniors! mau nang demerits. hehe. bwelo na! tapos na ang community service or ang pgpupulot ninyo ng basura. (dae kya q ngpupurot basura ta expempted aq as member ning DLMO. :D ). so yun, dinala q for the last time ang aking minamahal na bass drum na nkasama q for 3 years at sinuot q ang aking band uniform for the last time. i'll surely miss this! Sbi ngani ni sir raphie, gru preview na daa kng mngyayaring graduation. hmm.. super lapit na tlga. graduation mi na.

owkie. after cat graduation, ayun sugod kmi kay ma'am nhel pra kulitin sya na bgyan kmi ng pnggastos sa paparating na high school week and rakrakan. honestly, aaminon q na. inoverprice mi tu ni alex for one valid reason and samu na lang tu ni alex, aq and principal. yes! ksali si principal sa sabwatan. haha. maaraman na lang nindo sa takdang panahon.

after the pngungulit session, uwian na. hehe. pro pumunta pa kmi ng cake my day para bilhan ng hndi msyadong halatang regalo si sir. pro hbang papauwi kmi (pgkatapos namin madatnan na sarado ang pinto ng naturang cakeshop) ay nabulsot aq sa isang butas sa kalye. tinwanan ba naman aq nina queng at kitz. mabuti na lang hndi nkita ni bstfrnd, kung hindi grbeng kantyaw na nman ang aabutin q. sya nga pala. sa mga hndi nakakaalam. birthday po bukas ni sir alferez. happee bday sir alferez!

hmm. diresto kmi mcdo pgkgaling cake my day. sympre, kailangan din naming parangalan ang aming mga sarili. sbi ngani ni alex, REWARD YOURSELF. mray ta ngkaigwa man kming time to enjoy and relax before na naman kmi mglusob sa laban sa high school week and rakrakan 2009. salamat pala kay ate waitress sa umaapaw na gravy. haha. salap!salap! well, enjoy man si karakanan. dae na nwara ang ralatikan and ang focus si fourth, ang knyang puso at ang kanyang bgong motto na "aspire, perspire, inspire." ngconcert man ang bstfrnd q. haha. agaw eksena.

hmm. sbay kmi ni alex ng-uli. and hnggang sa pag-uli ang topic mi high school day and rakrakan. oh well, i thnk oras na pra mgpahinga coz tomorrow till next week is a very busy week.

by the way, gusto q lang mgpasalamat sa duwang taba sa buhay q. haha.
