Mi Decreto dela Danza

it was not that bad after all.

that could be the theme of the week. there has been hell everywhere and at the end of it all, ok lang pala.

first, the La Salle exchange was moved to next week. of course, mejo nakakairita siya at first. you would be waiting for the week to end tapos biglang you would have to wait a week longer.

but, then, biglang nag-announce ng NO CLASSES si pangulong Gloria. so, naisip ko na lang, GREAT! so, it was not bad after all.

after that, nagkaroon ng transfer of dates ang lahat ng exam. the exam this tuesday will be moved to friday and this wednesday’s exam to thursday. it gave me additional time to study. pero honestly, hindi grave studying ang kailangan ko. haha. kelangan lang naman ma-master ang concepts when you take an exam in Psych and Management.

thank you to the suspension of classes.

sa UAAP naman, natalo kami sa Adamson. but hey, hindi lang men’s basketball ang buhay ng UP. haha. people keep forgetting na 6-0 na kami sa women’s basketball. kung ano yung mga natalo sa men’s, binawi ng women’s.

and after that UP-AdU game i realized how happy i am na UP ako.

after the game, i decided to grab some food at McDo. naturally, maraming nakakalat ng students dun sa area – most of them Adamsonians (or whatever they call themselves). as i pass a group of them, someone shouted.

ADAMSON PERSON: kuya, transfer ka na sa amin!

then and there, naisip ko, “baket?” ayaw ko ng patulan kasi someone told me na “the more educated a person is, the more tolerant he is of others.” pero napaisip na din ako na, ganun ba sila kababaw na sa UAAP na lang sila umaasa. or maybe, sobra lang silang nagenjoy sa kanilang first win.

losing that game was not as bad as i thought it would be. actually, it makes you appreciate your team more. not because they lose, but because they lose trying. hindi ako plastic! kung plastic ako, i would not watch games live or not watch games at all.

basta, after that incident there was some spark that told me that i should be happy i was asked that question. anyway, onwards to a great centennial. there is always next season. UP FIGHT!

anyway, i was looking at applications for transfer to US universities. my uncle tells me that i should take a chance to transfer. oh well, it would be good. a change in environment. and, there, i can start again. i wouldnt mind. magsasaya pa nga ako eh.

pero sayang naman kasi im starting to take my majors na. siguro for master’s na lang. then, babalik ako ng Pilipinas at dito magtatrabaho.

so there, i realized that i have so many things to be proud of. i just did not know it at the time.

also, i am sad that it has been two years since FRIENDS ended. and now, nanonood na lang ako ng reruns and i was teary when i watched their season ender. i want a reunion episode! 

also, excited na pala ako sa La Salle exchange. and sana payagan ako to take an early Psych exam. sino kaya magfofoster sa akin? hmm.

roger said that a person’s goal is to be self-actualized.

he meant that a person wants to experience his or her potential as a human being.

however, what he missed is that by being too OPTIMISTIC we lose our touch with reality.

this is what became ironic of his statements. oh, i would include maslow too.

they said that a fully functioning individual or those who are self-actualizers should be in touch with reality.

their theories proved them wrong as being in touch with reality might mean that you have to address with life’s misfortunes and that somehow, some things are not meant to be yours.

i mean, how can you realize your full potential when everything around you is ideally perfect?

enough of the ranting. haha. i mean, medyo nakakinis kasi yung nangyari sa akin lately. akala ko kasi, i was ok with everything but there are times na susubukan talaga tayo if ever we really want the things we are holding. but, as for me, as much as i want it, there are factors to consider.

it was not a choice between what i wanted and what society wants me to do. but, a choice of what was more important to me.

UAAP Figures:

Men’s Basketball 0-1 lost to DLSU last july 7

Women’s Basketball 1-0 won over FEU last july 11

next game:

UP vs Ateneo (The Battle of Katipunan) @ 4pm, Ninoy Aquino Stadium

UP Fight!

hey. ive been busy with all the stuff im dealing with. i need not enumerate all since i have been mentioning them in my previous posts.

anyway, this day turned out to be real ironic for me. i mean that it is ironic since i feel so different.

hindi man lang ako naging uber active today pero i feel so tired. siguro with all these training ang stuff. i barely sleep 8 hours and eat dinner. what i always have at night is water and fruits. haha. at least not junkfood! my break is intended for reading ang understanding my lessons kasi when i get home i usually eat and then sleep na kagad. all this hard work will pay off. today, kahit wala talaga akong ginawa, sadyang napagod lang talaga ang katawan ko.

i wish, by the end of this sem, buhay pa ko. haha! pero, i know i can make it. i did it for the past 2 weeks and i can do it for approximately 20 more. haha. see, im through with at least 10% of it.

if i finished this sem with high marks, a junior member of the pep squad and with no sign of delay, this will be the most fulfilling part of my life.  everything i once wished for will just be coming true. but, i will stop about thinking about it now since we have the saying, dont count the chicks before the eggs are hatched.

also, i went buying books this afternoon – after my psych class. i was at the mall and i saw people holding shopping bags of Bench, Penshoppe, Girbaud and other botiques and clothing stores. and then, i just looked at myself and i was holding nothing but a bag of National Book Store with several books in it.  parang, i thought i was in the middle of a place i should not be in. biruin mo, at this time, people are shopping for clothes and i am shopping for books. haha. i mean wala namang masama to shop for clothes, i just felt, different – or out of place.

nga pala, before ending this, i just thought of the best example of irony today. you know the Mikee (of PBB teens) Bench poster along Katipunan Avenue? Bench has its tag line that goes something like “What is your color?”. and, since Mikee is known to be studying at Ateneo, he is wearing blue. if ever you will be passing by Katipunan, might as well notice the print on his shirt – it is a tiger. it is up to you how you would see this; but to me, it is the perfect way to describe irony based on recent events.

better get going, ive got a case study to crack!

hello. haha. i was gone and i am back. obviously. haha.

anyway, i would want to tell you that i am on my third year in college. whee! and this, for me, would be the best year of my college life – the best, the most crucial, the most fulfilling. i can say so since i have been fulfilling every dream i have right now. every thing that i once dreamed is coming true. what are these things you may ask. first and foremost, i am enrolled in a psych class. second, i am training with the pep squad every night at 6pm. and i am taking my major subjects.ok! i am enrolled in a psych subject, and so what? so are other people. to think that i am a college of engineering student, there is definitely no room for psychology. we look at things from the physical, chemical and other “science”-al point of view. we understand why things reamin in equilibrium. why blood is thicker than water. why this goes with this and that in a mechanical perspective. i mean, there is no way of putting psychology in everything there is in engineering. but, in engineering, there is a course namd Industrial Engineering. hindi kami instant engineers for god’s sake. please, dahil lang wala kaming board. oh common.

anyway, industrial engineers plan how to make work more practical, easier, more efficient, cheaper and the likes. so, there really space for psychology here. and, for the long run, ive been telling them that psych was my first choice for a course. yeah. and that i was waitlisted and i had no patience so i took my second choice.

to tell you more about my rants about my course, my first choice of school is Areneow [i would just tell you that i saw a shirt with that print], haha, sorry it was Ateneo. yeah, i think they are the best school for studying psychology. anyway, my aunt doesnt want me in UP too. but, since they did not accept my scholarship [kahit na honors program ng psych ang pinasa ko. too bad. i remembered na when applying for scholarship yung ACET grades/scores ay out of the criteria. ], i went to UP instead.

so iyon. when i was up for post-advising, someone from the IE dept noticed that i had a psych101. they asked me whether i know that it was not credited or not. i told them that i am planning to minor in psych since i couldnt wait for forever before i start takign up psych courses. and, so, they allowed me to go on with a warning that it would be additional units for me and that i still have to take my ssp GEs. hah.

ok! i am training with the pep squad at 6pm, so what? well, it has been one of my dreams ever since that person asked me to join. i couldnt possibly join the dancers of course. oh well. and, if i do well in training, i might be up for this year’s line-up. woohoo! all i can do for now is trian as hard as i could and not forget about my studies. time management is the real key here. yes, i can do this. i really am excited. wait, i have been training for summer. and i think i can do it. anyway, i passed es11 last summer. haha.

i am holding a bass drum pala. and, i am looking forward to the start of this season. on July 7, UP battles it out against La Salle. haha. i hope we wont get chopped up and we dont give them an early welcome back gift. haha.

UP People! the UP pep squad is on the look for new applicants. haha. dont hesitate to go to the gym at around 6pm. haha. look for pep squad looking people.

ok! may majors na ko, so what? well, napakcrucial ng year na to since it would be determining whether we should be staying or not. one failure will mean another year added to your life in the college. oh well. so, bukas na ang first taste of majors. and, hindi ko alam kung matutuwa or masusuka sa takot. matutuwa, in the sense na, im third year na – a fully pledged engineering student. i get to know what my course is all about. thanks for the help, IE10! haha. being guinea pigs, we never really had experience on learning what ie is all about. pero, i had a background na. so iyon.

matulog na kaya ko.

excited ba masyado. oh no.

ill be finishing OSA form. for org recog due on june 20.

hindi ko pala alam yung song na yan. i was talking to kevin earlier and he suggested the song. i asked him what it was about and said it was about girls. i asked, anong relevance nun. sabi niya, eh importante sa akin ang girls eh. sabi ko, okay. haha. anyway, i guess narerelate to in the way na kung pano kaimportante ang girls kay kevin, ganun kaimportante para sa akin ang psych, pep at majors. FISH!
