Sa hiyawan at kalungkutan ( Cheerdance Episode ) *very late post*

Image
It's been a while since i last had my blog entry here. Many weeks had passed. Well, this entry would most likely revolve in my 2011 experience with Cheerdance competition in Ateneo.(and also other stuffs that happened in this College event) I never expected that students will be texting me,calling me and whenever we cross our roads at the campus, they will ask questions regarding "tickets". I know that there were alloted tickets per division. But, I don't have the power over that. Funny, that even some students and friends I know, asked me to let them in, since I'm part of the Security Forces(ASSF). Conscience. Yep, my conscience bothers me. But, it would be very unfair to those students who made efforts falling in line just to have a ticket for the said event. Mind you, there are like 7948 students enrolled in the second semester, and even if we say only 50% of the whole populace? eh, it wouldn't fit to that Covered court(coz there are chairs and etc, ...

The Movie, Time, and Death

Image
http://www.megavideo.com/?v=JX99VD9A After watching this Animation Movie, I realized many things. I realized that death is inevitable. In the movie, you have chances to turn back time, and return to change it. But in reality, you can't. All you can do is, correct what you previously done.  Death according to some people, can be avoided, or skipped.  I come to wonder, does "Time Travelling" do exist? Are there Time Travelers among us? Aliens? or even people from the distant future? If so, how did they do it? These questions come to bother me in my quiet instances alone.  If death comes to me, will I be ready for it? will it be brutal? natural? If so, can I make it sweeter? Will I die with a bullet on my head? Will I get hit by a car? there are many chances, many possibilities. but, I will never know. But i'm certain i am going to die. Not because it's God's fate or destiny for me, but it's how life works. I can say God gave me knowledge and wisdom for me...

Bili na, bili na ng aming mga paninda Bago pa't sariwa Mura na, at may tawad pa Suki, Suki,  masmura dito, Dito sa amin Bagong hugas, bagong pulot Dito na, dito ka na sa amin Sunog, MAY SUNOG doon sa atin, nilalamon ng sunog Ang lahat ng ating tirahan Si Junior at si maria ay nasa bahay SUNOG! SUNOG? Paano nagkasunog.  Faulty Wirings? Eh wala namang  kuryente sa amin.  Sumabog ang LPG Sa sobrang taas ng presyo, uling gamit namin Naglalaro ang mga bata ng kandila Nasa kalsada sila ng EDSA,  nagbebenta ng sampagita't kendi Patay na.  Wala na ang sunog pati ang aming  kinabukasan.  ilang taon namuhay at doon na nagka-apo. dumanas ng bagyo ng kahirapan umahon at nagsipag upang mamuhay ng matiwasay isang araw, ilang oras nilamon lahat ng apoy. nilamon ang mga pangako mga pag-asang makakamit ang mapayapang buhay Sunog! Sinunog. Pinatayo ang isang gusali Gusaling para sa tubo. Gusali para sa mayayaman. Ang daang ektarya ng lupain para sa iisang la...

The Sanctuary will always be ours, not mine, not yours, but ours

What's wrong? i saw your status message. sana mapasaya kita kahit sa maliit na paraan. Smile na you look really pretty when you smile And it captivates me By the way. Nakikita kita sa Gazebo always Baka sa sunod maging kaklase tayo sa majors. Since i'm going to take up Educ-Pre School Hmm... If given a chance, gusto ko sana maging friends tayo hindi lamang dito sa FB , kung hindi sa real life din ^^, God bless.. and like sa Selecta Ice Cream ad, "Wag na ikaw sad.. andito pa naman ako eh" ^^ -- I remembered these lines. Where did I see these? When? How? Oh yeah, it reminds me. These lines , or this entire message was mine. The product of my intellect. My ingenious, or rather, my stupidity with LOVE. I couldn't stop mocking myself right now, telling myself, How did you even say it that way? You're stupid Bulldog, very stupid! And yet, I still continued reading it. I read it again and again. It may sound corny, but th...

Sabi ng Daniel R. Aguinaldo National Highschool...

"Dili mi musugot anang K+12!" "Kalisod na sa kinabuhi, mahal ang mga palaliton ug wala nay kwarta si mama." "Unsa man na si Noynoy oi, unta gitan.aw niya atong kahimtang busa siya magbuot-buot" "Kuya, dili man mao ang solusyon, kundili, dungagan nila atong klasrums ug facilities." "Dili na gani Libre ang edukasyon, dungagan pagpalisod-lisod ani." "Kuya, kailan tayo magrarally? Sama kami para makatulong din kami" "Libre at Dekalidad na edukasyon, yan ang solusyon kuya sa problema hindi K12." "Kuya, kami lahat ay tutulong sa inyo. Kahit gaano pa kami kabusy, para sa mga estudyante, tutulong kami abot ng aming makakaya" These are some of the testimonies I will never forget from this inspiring school in Davao City. Who said that people from public schools are not good? Who said that students in public schools are not intelligent? Who said that they don't deserve respect and honor? If you wil...

They call it Gazebo, I call it Sanctuary (Funny and Yet Sweet Story II)

Image
Dear Abon and Fisda, Here's the second and last part of my story. Since that day, we started communicating through text. And sometimes we call each other.  I couldn't help blushing whenever I get to hear her. Whenever I sees her in campus, I'm still nervous to be near her. Or even say "hi" to her. I don't know, maybe I'm still a torpe. There were instances that we crossed paths, but I hesitated to say hi. But, I had to be brave. I must face my fears. Although, she's not the one I feared, but something else. I feared of hurting her or being hurt. But it's part of our lives. It was  September 14, 2010. I really had to meet her in person. Our friendship should be somewhat, formal.  Yes, it happened in the Gazebo area again. But it wasn't planned at all. I was conversing with my friend, since I saw him near the "Bro" benches. When I was about to sit down, EGAD! She's sitting behind us. I mean, meters away from us, but hence...
