proud animo
let's go college talk right now...today is officially 'sports day' in the philippines. two big events happened that really caught my attention. of course, everyone knows about the pacquiao - barrerra match so i won't elaborate on that anymore. what's more important and worthy of bragging is the Game 2 of the DLSU - UE Championship Match! Honestly, i thought my alma mater, DLSU would lose today since Game 1 was more of a 'tsamba' But, to my surprise and delight... UE seemed scared from the very beginning of the game and lasalle made sure that their presence was felt. Hands down to the Green Archers since they really played their defense well and i'm so happy with the turn-overs and free throws! Sineswerte nga kung baga! Both teams are worthy of winning...UE - who managed to sweep the elimination round 14-0 definitely showed the audience that they are a strong team..and La Salle, who struggled but fought hard to make its way to the championship round also proved that we are back and UNITED after last year's suspension. I just love the numbers 63-72 right now and the 9 point lead is still making me smile. yahooo! DLSU Green Archers: UAAP Season 70 Champions!
as usual, jampacked ang araneta.on other news...
i heard from Amu last night that miss diaz, our thesis mentor, is sharing details about our thesis with the lower batch students of organizational communication in lasalle. the moment i heard that...i became really happy since it meant that our thesis, which took over a year to make, placed a significant mark in the communication department. it made me realize that we were really able to acquire and apply the skills needed to be professional orgcom practitioners. It also gave me the drive to help more organizations in creating and improving their own communication processes...which i am currently doing in my own office. :)im a proud lasallian..and it shows. :pwala na ko mashare...next time na ulit..p.s. it feels good to write in this blog again! :)

Grabidad!
As indicated in my previous post, I said that I will be posting my 2007 new year's resolutions. But apparently, I was never able to write again because of the other fixations that got me so distant to the blog world. Anyhow, here's a quick update of what’s happening:
i gained 7 pounds because of my daily dosage of jollibee's fiesta meal. Im soo happy because I finally gained weight! too shallow huh? Can't complain since this is what im asking for a long time now. I really have to weigh up and reach that 125 pounds!! Throw me your cheers, jeremy's getting fat na.. (u wish)
for our galera trip, angel, sof and I bought 'beach hut's SPF75'! we joined hands in telling our other officemates that we don't want to get those tan lines and marks during the beach trip. Grabe, we're so vain! But to put some justification to this hideous act, I can't get dark since im so thin na! Ayoko naman magmukhang malnourished kid after ng summer noh. Wahaha!!!! Me bad!
Spent most of my money buying lots of clothes. Bought 3 board shorts, 2 polo shirts, 3 white shirts, 1 distressed jeans, a pair of denim edition chucks, 1 jacket and lots of accessories. Yak parang girl! Wahaha!! I didn't calculate how much I spent, but I guess it's worth the talent fee I got from doing that nestea ad to be posted this june. Im such an impulsive buyer and im starting to hate it! :p
I broke my cybershot. I acted as if im little david and the slingshot's my cam. It hit the wooden table (goliath) and was smashed into 2 pieces..good thing I was able to put it back together but the main board got busted. I had the service center repair it but grabidad...i have to pay 13,327 for it to be fully repaired. Wag na tsong! I'll just save up to buy a new DSLR..I’m so sad since I wont be able to do simple photoshoots anymore for my portfolio..and waahhh!!..No more pics during weekend gimmicks. Pero okay lang..at least, I have enough reason to minimize my spending for a new cam.
At work, im getting exhausted revising all those Globe videos for their training unit. Im beginning to fear these 2 words: 'Quality Check', since every time we go on this type of meeting, Sof and I have to revise another part of the video, which means, more time for ‘rendering’! Video editors out there would understand what I am saying. And please, we are really in need of video editors to help out. PM or text me if youre interested..nax.. segue bigla ng job opening eh noh..wahaha!!
Right now, my whole family's catching up with the latest episodes of prison break 1 and 2. How I wish I could be that smart, but sorry, 100 something lang IQ ko..huhuhu..di ako nag-promil eh..nido lang.haha! Gilmore girls season 6 rocks and I cant wait for episode 15-24 of grey's 3. As for local shows, maging sino ka man is the best.. kaya walang kokontra! :p
Well I guess that's it for now, cant share the personal stuff coz u might get shocked. What's important is im soo happy now..can't ask for anything else but a new cam..and I'm soo taken now, so back-off!
Didn't you notice that I never cursed in this post? Wow!
Pucha achievement! Di ako nakapagmura! :p

can't sleep..share muna my new year gift giving activity..
did my final christmas shopping a day after december 25. the gifts might be late but at least, this is the first time that i really spent a lot for other people and not for myself. i made a list of deserving people who would receive presents from me and got my feet hurt after 6 hours of checking out stores in megamall. by the way, this is the first time that i appreciated SM megamall because before, the only reason why i visit that mall is to buy my monthly marvel comic books or if my mom asked me to help her in buying items for the house. but this year, i found lots of interesting stuff that i could buy my friends and cousins. i guess that makes henry sy a genius.i scratched out my older cousins on the gift list since they earn much more than i do. i think that giving out this reason is valid enough to be presented when questioned by ate tahmee et al. hehehe. i have a confession, some of the gifts that my friends got were recycled..those gifts that i received this christmas which i think would be useless to me were repacked and were given to someone whom i think would use it more than i do..haha..that's one tip im gonna give when it comes to saving.the moment i got home, i started cutting the black cartolinas that would serve as my wrapper and prepared the red ribbons to seal the gifts..i immitated the box that 'fino' uses to pack their lighters. and as a side note, i love the lighter i bought from there coz it is made of leather. ahahaha!!i distributed the gifts a week after and holding that big paper bag full of presents made me feel so great! i'm like santa clause (a thin version that is) who handed the gifts to people who had been kind and not so kind to me this year. it doesn't matter anymore. as long as i know that i'm willing to give and share my blessings with them, i guess i already served my purpose of being a kind, tolerant and fun friend. to those people who didn't receive anything, in-kind nalang yung inyo. i've been good to everyone this year right? hehehe!that's all, im already sleepy. next post would be my 2007 resolutions. :P

what's up with me??
taking one tablet of vitamin C a day isn't enough for the activities that i'm doing at present. i've been very busy with work, doing video, layout and writing stuff. with all these things in my hand, im starting to feel the pressure of a being a professional. and wtf!!..the manifestations of stress is growing. i hope you know what i mean (especially you, krisel and kate..hahaha). but the hell with it, i am certainly well compensated! :Paside from work, ive been going out lately..out of town trips, clubbin (all of which involves drinking and other vices) and a number of religious endeavors..its kinda paradoxical no? i realized that i can't live a 'double standard' life forever. i have to choose which side i'm really going to be involved with. shessh..i don't want this log to be serious..so i should stop!! wahaha!!photoshoots..i really love them..been playing a lot with my digital camera and kept on asking my friends to pose for me. i already had 3 and i can't wait till the next shoot. this one's going to be a bit daring..not that the models are gonna strip..but mark thought of making lesbianism as our theme. kate already asked her friends to model and good thing they agreed. i am thinking of having coby in the shoot to make up with the hassle i gave him coz the collection we previously planned was cancelled..well, temporarily lang siguro.. anyway, i hope this shoot turns out to be great because im planning to add it in my portfolio.christmas parties..i have to attend 6 of them!! party at work, church, relatives-mother side, relatives-father side, barkada and the other barkada..haay.. one of these christmas parties is going to be held at my house. hassle grabe, to think that ate neneng, one of our kasambahay already left for davao, entertaining lots of guests would be very hard since i have to help in cleaning up afterwards. but, come to think of it, its christmas..we have to sacrifice a bit (as if im not doing it with other things).i already started shopping for chritsmas gifts. I bought 2 caps for my monitos, a magenta slim wallet for mom, a set of veeerrryy expensive hankies for dad (which made me stupid because i bought them), 3 items from body shop, and a motorola SLVR for me!! hahaha!! yesterday, i helped tita esther in wrapping her gifts. she demanded that i make paper bags out of gift wrappers. grabe!! i realized that wrapping presents and making paper bags is not that easy. sakit sa kamay! okay lang..she gave me one hundred pesos of share-a-load as payment..hahaha..babaw ko noh? at least, i have 10 more days of unlimitext. wahahaha!ohh..i think that is a nice idea...why don't i just give my friends share-a-load as my christmas gift? by doing that, i don't have to shop anymore and save my feet from blisters!! wahahhahaha!!! mamatay kayo sa kakuriputan!!

On.Happiness
take a good look at me now. can you see any difference? did something change? even i can't seem to figure if there was really a change in me. all i know is that i am enjoying my life right now. from the smallest things to the big ones, i won't miss any chance to make myself Happy. lately, i find myself out at night. strolling around the city, to places where people do nothing but dine, drink, chat, and drive themselves crazy as the music spins. weeknights are usually spent with mark, marvin and joshua girl..where caffeine rush was a hit, and oh..have you ever experienced hanging out at coffee bean while drinking coffee from starbucks and ended up transferring the starbucks coffee to coffee bean cups? this is for the sake of the 'planner'! i forced myself to drink 21 cups of coffee for 2 weeks just to get that spark hope commemorative planner..and im sooooo (exaggerate the 'so' to establish the genuine cheer) happy coz i already have one!saturday nights are usually spent either with cousins or college friends at eastwood where drinking would be non-stop (thanks to amu when she treated us). The conversations are so fun that laughing would be too hard to resist. another fun thing during saturdays are my cousin's facials. Watching her facial session is really exciting. I don't know what's in me but i have this excitement whenever i see the puss coming out of her face while the 'facial girl' (i don't know what to call her) pricks and forces those impurities away form her skin. anyway, i just shared this part because this also makes me Happy.am i the B.I. among my circle of friends? they always say that and i still can't figure why im one. is it so B.I.ish to persuade someone to drink alcohol even if he/she doesn't? am i being a bad influence when i advice an officemate to skip work and take long snacks instead? is it bad to force someone to smoke when you're just trying to add 'first time experiences' on her list? OKAY, i'm guilty! i know that it is bad right from the very start. But what can i do? they always give in to my persuasion skills. haha!! being a 'B.I.' makes me Happy and i can't do anything about it. Wait, i guess i have to stop this irrational act for my own good. Now let's get serious...Happiness is a feeling everyone wants. Some get it for free, some get it without exerting much effort, while some struggle just to grab even a little dose of this delightful high. It is very obscure why some people can't seem to find the perfect happiness. that is, if there's really something you could call perfect. Just when you thought that you could finally be happy, fate comes in, twists the knob a little and you'll realize that he has already taken it from you. As for me, i'm happy now, i just don't know how long it would last.

Brutality is Presuming
Brutality. It is a noun that means viciousness or doing wicked acts towards someone. I can totally relate to this word. Whether it is I who's being rough or I'm the one experiencing it. Sometimes, people are unaware that they're cruel. They joke around individuals who tend to take these things seriously because of the intensity of the given ridicule. People who take jokes seriously experience brutality and you certainly can’t blame them. Brutality is also manifested in the workplace. When the boss endlessly orders his staff to work on things that are impossible to finish in a day and the employee chitchats his superior's weakness and personal life to fellow workers. Brutality also infects friendships. You secretly dated your bestfriend's girlfriend while disclosing unlikable things about him. And when you already got what you wanted and the girl's head over heels for you, things will suddenly turnaround as if nothing happened. Being cruel to your pet is also possible, just last week, we lynched our pet dog 'icko' to prevent probable deaths in the house. He already bit our maids three times, killed two cats and we have no choice but to end the assaults (hehe) since the vet told us that the sickness is irreversible. it's like mercy killing. Go, report me to PAWS. These are all examples of brutality. But there's this one kind of viciousness that can totally put someone down. LOVE.I'm not saying that loving is bad. It is a cherished gift to humanity that would keep things together. But what if the love you once treasured came to a point when it is gradually decaying into the slums of enduring pain and is resulting in the slaughter of self-respect? What if you tried to hang onto someone even though you have a gut feeling that the person's not coming back? What if she's saying that you're selfish though it's the other way around? Isn't it frustrating to hear stupid reasons of why either of you can't be together or why do you have to end something that has already started? Why do you have to bear the pain of wishing that that someone is thinking of you when in reality, she doesn't even think of you in a day or two. Why do you always have to be 'JUST' an option? These ifs and why's all boil down to Brutality and when it's already eating you, all you have to do are these simple things. Take a pill, sleep at it for a day, cry for awhile, stand-up and move on. Remember, fighting for something that would make you happy isn't bad. But when everything's already lucid that you lost the war, accept it and start once more. And one last thing, be 'brutal' to yourself that you shouldn't commit the same mistake again.

grad.day.insights
it was the 14th of october..when i realized that my journey has ended. no more lazy early wakeups to prepare for school, no more cramming to finish a critical paper an hour before the deadline, no more fuck-ups with mentors and professors, no more cutting of classes, no more 'yosi' breaks and 'inuman' sessions in between classes, no more study groups that usually end with a dvd marathon, no more backstabbing, no more silly joking with peers, no more take two's, no more glances with crushes(oh its soo highschool), no more scholastic overnights, no more kickbacks, no more sweating of palms while in a graded recitation because i didnt study. No matter how stupid these things are, i will definitely miss doing them. I will miss my college friends (who taught me to do a lot of daft things) and every experience we've shared. teardrop. but then, i realized, pwede ulit natin gawin yan out of school. almost every week naman tayo gumigimmick!! wahaha!! *evil smile*seriously, college taught me a lot of things, from pleasant to terrible ones. but im very sure that i won't regret anything. coz at one point, that is what i wanted.but now that im working..i had another realization.college is so far removed from real life. college teaches theorotical things. after college, sheltered life ends and reality crashes in. just when you think you're ready, it grabs you by the balls and squeezes tight until you can't breathe.wow..nag-aamok!!*victoria duldulao maraming salamat!
