Don't Make Me Mad
Philosophy is my new enemy.
Temper is one of my major problems during my younger years (although I'm still young now at 17). I have often been tagged as
scary, masungit and pikon. And I'd get even angrier when they point this out to me. Funny, right?
If GMA has her
plataporma for the next coming years, I, too, have my own resolutions even though New Year is still a whole calendar away. One of my major repairs would be (guess what?)
my attitude problem. I don't know how I did it but I pulled it off. It has been months now since I got mad. (HAHA! I think it still is normal, isn't it?.)
Stoics, one of the first group of Hellenic philosophers, believed that one should always put to mind that everything happens according to the
Divine plan and it is an
awful waste of time and energy to feel too much emotion. Sadness, happiness and anger are more or less nothing but
nuisances to everyday life.
They say that there once was a
Stoic slave who was being maltreated by another person. This other person grabbed him by the arm and the slave told him, "You're going to break my arm." The other person didn't care and r
eally twisted it hard! All the stoic said was, "
I told you you were going to break it." Although this is an exaggeration of the Stoic belief (mind you, this is true), it depicts the way of living of these philosophers.
There are also the
Epicureans (from the founder Epicurus) or the garden philosophers who believed that "
Pleasure is the highest good." They say that our desires need not be curbed. On the contrary, we must follow and aim for our wants. They, however, also emphasize that
pleasure of the mind is much more rewarding than pleasures of the body and that we must sometimes sacrifice now to achieve a longer and purer pleasure in the future.
Meanwhile, a group of misguided philosophers branched out from the Epicureans. These philosophers, on the other hand, think that it is best for humans to
readily satisfy their immediate pleasures for life is too short to be wasting time and sacrifices - for we'll never know when it'd end.
Why am I saying this? Because this is how I have
helped myself control my temper. By combining the thoughts of Stoics, Epicureans and even the sub-Epicureans, I have come up with
my own philosophy that really works for me.
I have resolved that
happiness is my desire and I shall reach it both by sacrificing and by attaining some of my immediate pleasures. Happiness can be gained by
removing all hatred from within and ignoring the urge to release internal fury. Yes, some say that it is more
dangerous to suppress the emotions inside. But I think mine is of a different case. "
Monica, huwag mong sirain ang araw mo dahil lang sa walang kwentang bagay na yan." And I shift all the emotions to happiness.
How? I look at it not on the bright side but on the
funnier side! I always try to imagine that same situation ten or twenty
years ahead of time when it no longer ticks me off and instead make me laugh out loud. It makes more sense for me to do this because my main goal is to be happy. I will not settle for a "
saktong feeling". I want birds chirping, leaves rustling, sunny skies, twinkling stars, fresh air and all the glory God has bestowed upon us to be
absorbed, felt, lived. Lately,
tempers have been flaring here and there. Yes, I am still affected in a way. (I am not oblivious to my surroundings.) I
get sad when I hear loud voices shouting at the top of their lungs as if they own the whole building. But I don't let it get to me the way it always did when I was younger.
*dramatic pause*
I've changed. *dramatic pause* I may not be a real Stoic for I still enjoy a good and
hearty laugh and still feel pain. I may not be a genuine Epicurean because I want both pleasures of the mind and of the
material world. I am my own philosopher and I do what
I think is best for me. Losing temper was never my best point.
With the help of my enemy, I have conquered my weakness. Aristotle said that Happiness can be gained through the complete utilization and actualization of
skills and talents. That, too, is part of my philosophy. This only means:
Go lang ng go! *Charaaann!*
Anything Goes
Philosophy is my new enemy.
And I kicked its big butt this afternoon! (I think I did.)
It's already past my bedtime. I don't think I can write much tonight. I'm tired from all the work and effort put on studying that *grr* Philo. Haha! Hopefully, it would all pay off. Thank Papa God. hehe!
I will post some of the crazy thoughts cramped in my head tomorrow.
AS for now, let me just leave you with a thought to ponder on:
Aanhin pa ang tae kung nilabas mo na?
hmm.. kadiri ba? haha!
*Sinister Laugh!*
The Driver and his Einstein
Philosophy is my new enemy.
It seems like I can't think of anything to write about. That's weird.
So here's a funny story about Albert Einstein and his driver.
After his successful discovery of the Special and General Theories of Relativity, he started going on tour for press conferences to share his very important scientific breakthrough. With him is his very attentive driver who has listened and sat on all of Einstein's explanations.
So one time, this driver asked Einstein if he could pretend to be him for the coming press conference since he supposes he knows almost everything about the theories and that he could address all the questions fired at him. Einstein agreed (maybe because he, too, is tired of hearing him repeat himself speak).
During the conference, the driver, disguised as Einstein, was able to deliver the speech well. He actually pulled that one off effortlessly. Then came the questioning. While Einstein nervously sat there listening, the driver was comfortably answering all the questions - as if he really was Einstein!
So Einstein began to relax until one scientist asked something he knew only the real him could answer. He began to sweat and he didn't know what to do! The driver, on the other hand, paused and said, "That one is easy. That is so easy I'll even let my driver, sitting right there, answer it for you."
And so the two came out unscathed.
First thing I blurted out was, "Smart driver!"
So that's one of the things I've learned in our NatSci I.
*My entry ends here... bitin ba?*
Ilabas mo Lang
Philosophy is my new enemy.
I guess my luck kicked Philo's butt! Haha! I really really love you Luck-ee! hehe..
Ayan na naman siya. Lalabas na naman. Hindi na ba siya nagsasawa? Hindi ba niya alam na masmapapaaga ang pagsasakabilang buhay niya sa ginagawa niya?
Lalabas na naman siya ng yunit. Siyempre, nasa sala ang computer, nalalaman ko kung sino ang labas-pasok. Ayan na naman siya. Akala niya siguro hindi ko alam. Akala niya siguro tanga ako na hindi ko namamalayan. Akala niya siguro masyado akong absorbed sa sarili kong buhay. Habang papalabas sinabi niya, "Sa'n mo ba iniwan ang susi, Kuya Jerry?" Sus! Palusot pa siya na kunwari hahanapin nila susi. Hello?!? Siya? Hahanapin ang susi kasama ang drayber? Eh sa tamad niyang yan, walang pakealam kahit macarnap pa ata ang kotse eh.
'Pag naiisip ko ang ginagawa niya, iisang litrato lang ang naiimagine ko - kabaong. Isang malaking kabaong para sa isang matabang dalaga. Nakapalibot ang mga kapamilyang nag-iiyakan at sinisisi ang sarili na hindi napigilan ang pagkamatay. Tsk.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba ganun na lang ang buhay non.
Hindi na niya siguro iniisip na maaring mangyari sa kanya 'yun. Ang alam lang niya, gusto niyang gawin yon. Naadik siguro. Naeenjoy niya eh. Ayaw na rin niyang papigil. Kahit anong suway ko. Kahit anong sermon ko na masmasahol pa sa sermon ng mga Dominikanong prayle, wa epek. Ganon katigas ang ulo niya.
Siguro hindi na lang din niya iniisip (sabi ko sa inyo eh, dapatmag-isip) kung ano consequences ng mga ginagawa niya. O baka may sarili siyang rason na ayaw niyang ibahagi sa amin. Siguro di siya makatae nang maayos. O baka may nang-iipit at pumipilit na gawin niya yon. Naimpluwensiyahan na rin siguro ng mga katropa. At siguro isang matimbang na dahilan dito kaya patuloy pa rin siya, kasi marami siyang nakikitang kapareha niya at masmatagal nang ganon na hindi pa naman patay.
Kahit ano pa mang rason niya, siguro naman alam niya na mali yon. Na siya rin ang magsisisi sa huli. Pero kailangan pa atang abutin niya ang huli bago niya maintindihan.
Tsk tsk.. Naaawa lang ako. Hithit nang hithit sa yosing kadiri. Sunog na baga mo. Itigil mo na. Hindi naman para sa akin ang pangsusuway ko eh. Para rin sa'yo to, epal.
Tokneneng Ni Manong
Philosophy is my new enemy.
And it's going to attack on Monday! Waaah! Help me, Papa God!
*try ko Filipino*
Hindi niyo ba naisip na ang sobrang pag-iisip ay nakakasira ng bait ng tao? Isipin mo na lang, kung ang lahat iisipin mo pa ng sobra sobra, ano na kayang mangyayari sa'yo.
Tulad ng pagbili kunwari ng tokneneng sa kanto, iisipin mo pa kung bibili ka o hindi. Kasi baka pag kumain ka ng isa, gugustuhin mo pa ang isa. At baka maubos ang pera mo, wala ka nang pamasahe pauwi. Ibig sabihin lalakarin mo yun!? Sus! Please lang.
Pero kung di ka naman bibili, mamimiss mo ang lasa ng streetfood na to. Sayang naman, minsan minsan ka na nga lang makadaan sa may tokneneng, di ka pa bibili. O kaya iniisip mo na marumi na yang pagkaing yan. Baka magkatyphoid ka pa, eh di masmalaking gastos naman yun.
At kung bibili ka rin, ilan ang bibilin mo? anong sawsawan gagamitin mo? san mo kakainin, doon na ba sa kanto, habang naglalakad at nagmumuni-muni, o pag-uwi mo na lang?
Kung dun sa kanto naman, baka may makakita sa'yong kumakain ng *yuck* dirty food. That's so eeky. Eh di sira na reputasyon mo (kung ganyan ka nga mag-isip). O di kaya mas marurumihan pagkain mo kasi asa kanto ka at maraming sasakyang *smoke belcher* ang dumadaan?
Kung habang naglalakad ka naman pauwi tyaka mo kinain, hindi kaya masyado kang masarapan at hindi mo namalayang may manhole na pala sa harapan mo at ikaw ay nahulog. Magcocomplain ka pa sa pinakamalapit na daingan dahil walang sign na nagbabadya ng isang butas sa daan. Eh di nawala na sa isip mo ang tokneneng at iba na naman ang iniisip mo. Pwede rin namang pag habang naglalakad mo kinain ang tokneneng eh may humablot na ng pitaka o selepono mo sa bag mo nang dimo namamalayan kasi sarap na sarap ka nga at ang iniisip mo lang eh ang pagkaing iyong kinakain.
Pero pag sa bahay mo pa kakainin, eh di hindi na siya mainit? At hindi kaya humingi mga kasambahay mo? Eh pano kung humingi sila, eh di hindi na nakakabusog kasi konti na lang makakain mo. Pera mo rin yon. Nakakahiya namang sabihing bumili sila ng sarili nilang tokneneng. Hindi ba?
At pag nakain mo na ang tokneneng at nasarapan ka, bibili ka pa ba? babalikan mo pa ba yung kantong yun? I-susuggest mo ba sa iba na doon na lang dumaan kapag uwian para makatikim ng tokneneng ni manong?
O pag di ka naman nasarapan, idedemand mo ba na ibalik niya ang pera mo? O hahayaan mo na lang at never ka nang babalik don?
Pero teka, kung gusto mong ipabalik ang pera mo at ayaw niya, anong gagawin mo? Hihingi ng saklolo? Mananawagan sa Imbestigador? Makikipagsabunutan at sumigaw sigaw sa kalye? o aalis ka na lang at mag-iisip kung ano pwede mong gawin sa manong na yon?
So ano? Bibili ka ba ng tokneneng o hindi?
Abnormal lang siguro mag-iisip nito. Pero still.. Isipin mo na lang.....
Analyze that? Realize this!
Philosophy is my new enemy.Such a sad story - We are going to pursue classes on SONA day.. *
sniff*
I just did some changes with my design for the nth time now. *
sigh*
My eyes are sore again. *
urgh*
What have I
learned today?
Realizations are rude. They tell you what you are and what you are not. Sometimes, they limit your potentials. So what do you do then? Do you stop realizing and start
experiencing?
I too tired to point them out.
Just think of it.*I realized that I am one of the many - good or bad?
*I realized it's already late and I have to sleep. - is it for the better or worse?
*I realize I have to stop blogging now - useless or helpful?
*You realize this entry is about to end - irritated or glad? (or indifferent?)
Good night, and in case I don't see ya, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening! -a good night version for Truman Show's famous line.

Whose Side Are You?
Philosophy is my new enemy.
President Macapagal-Arroyo is about to deliver her State of the Nation Address (SONA) this coming Monday. This means there will be no classes in schools located in Metro Manila! Hurrah! This also means we are going to enjoy the freedom of having a 3(or four, for that matter)-day weekend! And of course, this also means I can go home to my beautiful province and visit my friendly-friend-friends! *Sana lagi na lang may SONA*
There are, however, more important points to chew over as the seated President share with us her plans for the country. It is to be expected that the speech would cover the changes-slash-improvements made during the interval of her previous SONA. She may also expound on the events she foresees happening and on the reasons for the actions taken and those that will be taken. She might even just repeat some of her finer points made during her last speech.
To tell you the truth, I never really gave much attention to the the political situation of the Philippines. One major factor for this is proximity since we (young probinsyanos) were never directly affected by it. To be frank, I never really cared. All I knew was that Philippines is much better off with GMA sitting on the high chair than wtih ERAP or FPJ (May his soul rest in peace) or de Castro. (Yes, I am pro-GMA. Any violent reactions?)
When I learned that there will be no classes because of the SONA, I asked my classmates why. During my high school, we never got this, ehem, benefit of having no classes just because a person (okay, the most prominent figure in the country - but still!) is about to speak. Then someone told me that it is far safer for people in the Metropolitan to stay at home during this tenuous time to avoid getting hurt when suprise bombings and/or vicious rallies start. All I could say was "Oh." So that is why we don't have classes. Scary, huh?
Studying in the University of the Philippines does not only mean being knowledgeable. It also means you are to be exposed to a society whose main arena is Philippine politics. By this I mean U.P. students are trained to be socially aware, socially relevant and socially active. Thus, we as iskos and iskas are expected to know what is happening around us. But that is not the reason why I am writing about the SONA. That is just too shallow.
Our school is facing a very difficult problem, financially speaking. The government is planning to cut down on the educational budget. It was also mentioned that our once P300 per unit fees would increase to P1000 per unit. That is how much these not-so-rich people will be paying next sem (I think).
I guess this is one of the numerous reasons why U.P. always nag about GMA. They also accuse the Arroyo government for the killings of journalists, rallyists, activists and other anti-Gloria militants. And of course, the eternal Graft and Corruption charges and how she cheated her way to the very very hotseat. These, as far as UP is concerned, are only the icing on top of a big cake of lies built by the administration.
As you can infer from what I've written, I am pro-Gloria. I am strongly in favor of her administration and even the Garci tapes didn't sway me. Of course, I was shocked and indignant at first, but in the long run, my faith in her still prevailed.
As I've said a little while ago, I am not an expert when it comes to political issues but I guess what I know is enough for me to think well of GMA. She is a college graduate (which is more than we could say for our other competitors). She even studied in the States and she has mastered the art of communication and diplomacy. Could you imagine Erap or Noli, speaking as articulately as GMA? No way! They'd probably have bled their noses dry trying.
With her diplomatic skills, we have gone farther and improved our ties with the neighboring countries. We have gotten Bush to visit the country and we have made long-lasting impressions to the other nations. Establishing EVAT and RVAT, for me, is also a very smart move for the Gloria administration. I don't know why stubborn people still don't see that these additional payments are the only option we've got to stop our momentous fall. I know we all hate the burden of more expenses but we just have to keep in mind the long term consequences and benefits of our sarcrifices.
GMA has far more to offer than those wanna-be presidents. We can count on her to see to our welfare. We also don't have to worry of her ever embarrassing the Filipinos in the global scene. She will be bringing Philippines to places. With President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, drastic ang gigantic developments are only just around the corner.
Yes, she may have cheated during the elections. However, it is just as well that she did. Otherwise, we would all end up in the hands of a TV icon whose fame only came about after repeating - for many a time, "Magandang Gabi Bayan."
*Note: I am not all together sure with the TFI. They are just hearsays.
Let us all stop the bitterness and think of Gloria the better way.
Darna!
Philosophy is my new enemy.
Change is an important factor to being a fulfilled human being. It coincides with experience, lessons and decisions. It helped us mold ourselves into the person we are now and I am sure it will be
the cause of what we'll be in the future.
When I was a little younger, I never liked change. In fact, it tears me apart to know that I am moving on or someone's moving on with his/her life leaving and separating in the process. I don't want to feel the change, whatever form it may take, because it only gives me
pain. I didn't know why but any kind of disturbances or fluctuations in my normal and steady flow of daily activities just left me confused and distracted. Change, for me, is best described by the feeling of a
very, very heavy heart. (I actually felt exactly this way for a very long time!)
In only a few years time, I have experienced a lot. I have learned a great number of lessons and I have surely made millions of decisions (both wise and err, unwise). And I think all this combined, together with maturity, brought me to the conclusion that change will always be the same. It will come my way no matter how hard I try to avoid it. Even though I shut stupid change out of my
petty, little world, it always find a slicky way penetrate the cracks on the walls.
So, all I can do is
accept it. Embrace change and be as
optimistic as possible about it. I tried and decided to look at the brighter side of things and never falter. Why waste energy resisting something you can't?
Why say change is necessary for a satisfying life? I say this because I think it shows us new things. It widens our horizons and
opens up more doors that lead to more doors (and even trapdoors, for that matter) for us to open. Life is not just about the Internet (blogging) or about school and books or about being a devout Catholic or about playing Autojam or about daydreaming about your crush or about hanging out with your barkada.
Its about everything! It's about exploring uncharted territories and seeking for more. It is about yearning for what you don't normally do and seeing that there is more to life than what you expected.
A very fulfilled life is a life whose options are all chosen, whose checkboxes are all checked and
whose list of things to do is longer than that of Santa Claus. Change makes us do things we never expected we could do. It gives us
strength.
This is my concept of change. That is why I love it now. It gives me more than what I bargained for. It shows me that I can do anything and that I could be anyone. And with this change I belive I could even be...
DARNA!.. (prelude:
Ding, ang bato!) (haha!)
Note: I only got this cute baby pic from Google.com
And.. Cut!
Philosophy is my new enemy.
Change is something everyone should be open to. I, for one, grab every opportunity for change. Of course, I'm referring to good and beneficial changes here.
Drat. There is something totally wrong with me right. Maybe I'll get back to my own self tomorrow after I burn all the fat food I've eaten over the weekend. I'll just continue with my super-opinionated blogging when I get hold of my weird self. Gad!
My Martin Luther
Philosophy is my new enemy.
The Catholic church is a powerful institution. It is powerful in a sense that it controls the standards for morality. In this case, nations oriented with such, follow what the Church orders for fear of eternal damnation and/or permanent residency in hell (or if not, for some personal reasons). Even the government of Christian countries, where officials most often than not live extravagantly off the taxes of the citizens, have to think twice before going against the creed of the Church. People of different status in the society abide by the same rules and conduct given by the Church. In short, Christianity tells us all how to live.
Living life by the standards of the Church is not really a bad thing. The fact that the Bible asks us to "Love thy neighbor" and "Forgive not seven but 77 times" tells us that Christianity's intentions are good and its purpose is for the betterment of the welfare of God's people. It also limits our freedom thus also limiting the extent of what one person would do to gain his/her own selfish desires.
"Kung 'di lang masamang pumatay, matagal ka nang patay."
Ever heard anyone utter something of this sort? This is what I mean by Christianity being good. It gives us something to fear. This fear curtails the bad things humans long to do. If there were no God to believe in, I would have done a number of nasty things already.
That is not the only benefit we get from Christianity. It also gives us something to believe in. Faith is very useful. When I hurt, I turn to this Spiritual being to guide me. When I doubt everything around me, even my friends, I just pray hard to Him to help me believe again. And it works for me. Just like when I really can't sleep, I ask Him to help me doze off. And it works. It also quite comforting to know that there is Someone who keeps an eye on you 24/7. (or does that creep you out?)
God is a good and holy entity. Although we can't be sure He really does exist, His presence is still felt. Why try to question an existence of something that is very helpful to our daily lives? He does no harm so just let Him embrace you and your soul. Wala namang mawawala, hindi ba?
Since Jesus died, the Catholic Church has represented the Holy One. However, there are some obvious discrepancies showing how wrongly the Church is handling its job. From burning supposed witches to gaining money through indulgences, the Church has dirtied its name. All throughout history, we have seen and learned of the abuse the Church has done to the devoted.
I agree with Martin Luther when he said that salvation of the human soul is not dependent on the priests' prayers or the Church's intervention with God. I believe that we ourselves can talk straight to God just by praying. We don't need some connector between us and God. We can save our souls, not by paying the priests to pay for our dead nor by climbing a thousand flight of stairs down on our knees, but by just following what is written on the Bible.
It is through the Bible that we save ourselves from purgatory and hell. It is by doing good and knowing what is right from wrong that save our souls. The Church is there to guide us, not to abuse our faith.
I think Martin Luther separated himself from the Church and formed a different kind of Christianity. I want to follow his beliefs but of course I can't. I have to stick with being a Roman Catholic or else suffer the wrath of my very religious and conservative predecessors.
**A Little Ironic (and irritating, i guess) Trivia:
The farthest I've read in the Bible is, I think, the part with Abraham in it?...
Even John Mayer can't help me!
Philosophy is my new enemy.
I was quite all right during the ride home but now I'm sort of in a foul mood. I don't know why but my sister's friend borrowing four thousand from me just rubbed me the wrong way. It's not my money darn it! *deep breaths..*<br>
.....
Okay. Now I'm ready to zzzzooom - blog! hehehe.. This is exactly what my shirt "Me So Corny" means. Anyway, school was all right. The quiz we were supposed to take this afternoon was postponed! Oh yeah! Luck always comes along the paths of good people. *ehem*
I went to the Indayog's open house/workshop. Indayog, by the way, is U.P.'s official dance varsity and the name itself is the Filipino term for cadence or swing. I went there to watch because I really enjoy watching really good dancers show off their skills. ("How I wish I could dance like them!")
I was supposed to tell you how a person, even one as bad as me in dancing, could learn the same moves the Indayog can do as long as there is determination and passion. But I guess I lost mine already. Hihi. But at least I have given my point for babbling about this seemingly useless topic.
So ano nga bang masasabi ko ngayon? Bangag na ngarag na bangag na ako. Kulang sa tulog pero gusto kong ayusin ang sleeping habits ko kaya I have to sleep on time. Sleeping this early would only bring me back to that same old abnormal habit.
I want to make this entry longer but I'm really not in the mood. My late night sessions are really taking their toll. *Shout in my head!*
My sister just got home. I think I got to get off the computer and go watch some TV while waiting for the right time to sleep.
I want to write about relative topics. Maybe later.. Keep visiting me! Thanks.
Me and UP
Philosophy is my new enemy.
Hmm.. They say classes elsewhere were suspended. I hope ours would, too.
*SANA-WALA chant*
I was busy pimping up my blog and I kinda like the results. It's no longer rough around the edges but I still have to make a few adjustments here and there to make it (almost) perfect (this, of course, is according to my preferences). I gained lots of dark, eeky rings under my eyes just to finish my layout. *Whew* But I think it's worth all the late night sessions of repair and renovation. (right? Please let me be right.)
Let me tell you something about myself: My name is Anna Monica Acu'enye'a-Pastoral. I'm a college freshman of the University of the Philippines taking up Doctor of Dental Medicine. In short, I'm going to be a dentist. But I will be transferring (or shifting, for that matter) to Industrial Pharmacy come next academic year. Hopefully my grades would allow me such feat. Anyway, if I were to transfer, that would be for the third time. *Argh! I was supposed to be a Nursing student (yes, I still think it was mere luck I got in the College of Nursing). Then my aunt, truth be told, sort of brainwashed me telling me Nursing is not a good premed and Dental Med is better. So I transferred just before enrolling. The big mistake we did was to not look at other options/courses! I could have gotten in almost anywhere! (Except for Intarmed! *ugh* How I wish Luck helped me harder! haha!)
Do I sound too airy? I think so, too. Let's just make things clear: I don't think I'm smart. Like what I've said, I think it was "mere Luck" (I love you, Luck-ee! hehe) that I got into Nursing. And since that college has one of the highest cut-offs, I think I really could have gotten in any course. So now I have to work my butt off just to get the grades needed for me to be able to transfer. So please don't think I'm mayabang. Ayoko ng kaaway. Gusto ko ng readers.
Why would I bother blogging when I have no one to share it with anyway? I could have just written on a diary instead, if that were the case.
So there. I like studying in UP. (Who wouldn't?) This not because of the liberality or the prestige. (Okay, so those are additional benefits.) I like it in UP because I get to learn things High School overlooked (or cared less whether taught or not). "The more I know, the more I don't know." So the "only thing I know, is that I don't know." Thirst for knowledge was never my disease during my four years of stay in the secondary level. But here in college, I have learned in the span of two months more than what they teach us for half a school year in high school. I realized there are more to learn, more to absorb and more to be amazed with. Now I sound like a geek! I just think it's fun to learn new things. Only then did I notice how much I don't know. For me, that is a good thing. It's a sign that I am still willing to venture out and experience more.
And not only that, I was also able (and thank God and self-discipline for this) to set my priorities straight and impose on myself principles I thought I'd never have the guts to accept. My motto is no longer "What I want, I get." I learned that there are other people in the world and I am not the person living amongst other people but a person the same as the other people.
I guess college life really works for me. I don't really know why, but I am sort of hiyang to college life, in general. I think I found what was sorely missing.
Masaya ang buhay ko ngayon. Sana tumagal naman ito.
Weekend in Baguio
Philosophy is my new enemy.
And oh.. one more thing. I won't be blogging this weekend because I'll be going home to the province and I may not have time to check my blog out. (Who cares?) Just saying. hehe! I'm adding more videos since they work now!! yey!
Me, My Blog and I
Philosophy is my new enemy.
I've been fixing and remodeling my blog for quite some time now. I think it looks better. But I still have lots of things to do before I settle down and post some more. haha! So anyway I'm planning to make the borders fixed and put some thumbnail pictures along side. I think it will look cute! hehe! And I am going to add more links, for my other vanities and for the credits.
Here's a rough draft.. Can't post something other than my blogging yet.
Looks like *@*#, doesn't it?
Another day came and went.
Philosophy is my new enemy.
It's an unventful Wednesday morning but I think it will change come afternoon. We're going to Baseco in Tondo Manila. It's for our NSTP. I think it's going to be a new experience and I can't wait. Anyway, I think I won't be posting much today. Time is too short. It sucks. HAHA!
Viewed with a Mozilla browser, my blog sucks. HAHA! And the videos won't work either. *sigh* I still have more work to do with this blog. Hehe!
My Life as A Yearbook Girl
Philosophy is my new enemy. *sinister laugh*
Ugh! My computer is not really doing its job. I think it hates me (please no!). And crashing browsers always ticks me off. I already made my entry for the first of July. It was quite a long narration on how poorly I did in our first Philosophy lecture. I guess it was also a poor justification for a July-First-Entry. HAHA!
So I don't know what I'm going to write here. I've been preoccupied with the yearbook and school work. So I guess I just have to choose between these two. And since fate or otherwise didn't want me to post my Philo-torture, I guess I have to go with the yearbook. (darn it!)
The layout, I think, is kinda neat. We decided on a Sepia-colored page and that is what we got. I'm hoping I could upload some pictures of it here and in our batch's yahoo group when I get a hold of one.
And I really wish others would like it, too. (please lang!)Anyway, I still have loads of problems to fix. And I hope this could fix some things up. I will upload the pictures of the signature specimen and hopefully,
you (my batchmates) could help me figure out which is whose. So I'm calling out to those who read and visit my blog, to please help me decipher who owns the encircled signatures. Thanks a lot!!!**If you can't see it (and you really want to help poor me), contact me at my ym or email add (
unknown_anna@yahoo) and I'll send you a picture with higher resolution.**
