Sa aking nalalapit na pagtatapos sa eskwelahan

Sa aking hide-out

Ilang oras pa lang nakalipas ng kami ay isend-off ng aming professors at 3rd year Mass Comm. students (special mention Karen Marie Pastor at Carmela Quidoles) ngunit nadarama ko parin ang makahalong lungkot at saya.

Masaya dahil:

• Sa wakas makakaalis na ako sa paaaralang nagpahirap sa akin ng apat na taon
• Worth it lahat ng paghihirap na yun
• Sa wakas tapos na ako maging estudyante
• Ang sarap ng feeling na may na accomplish ulit ako
• Dahil sa apat na taon ng aking pamamalagi, ako ay naging isang writer sa school paper at naging feature writer para sa yearbook namin
  

at Malungkot dahil:

• May mga kaibigan ako (naitinuturing ko ng mga kapatid) na maiiwan sa paaralan
• Dahil kailangan ko ng maghanap ng trabaho at kumita ng sarili kong pera (bawal na huminge sa magulang)
• Kokonti na lang ang holidays
• Wala na ding suspension of classes
• Kailangan ko ng humarap sa tunay na buhay, sa labas ng aking eskwelahan
  

Pero sa apat na taon na tinagal ko sa eskwelahan, madami rin akong natutunan tungkol sa academics, sa totoong buhay, sa pag tratrabaho, sa pagkakaibigan at sa love life. Lahat yun hindi ko makakalimutan.

Hindi ko rin makakalimutan:

• Yung bagong salta pa lang ako sa aking eskwelahan (naligaw pa kami ni Trikzy)
• Yung mga naging at mananatiling kaibigan ko
• Lahat ng kaguluhan, kasayahan, kakulitan, harutan, murahan, pag iinsulto, pagkwekwetuhan namin ng mga kaibigan ko
• Yung mga naging crush ko, hahaha!
• Yung unang beses na nagcut ako ng klase
• Yung birthday celebration ko noong 2nd year na buong block ko yung nakasama ko sa pagcecelebrate
• Yung "surprise birthday gift" sa akin nila Carmela, Kai at Trikzy (hahaha!)
  
• at marami pang iba

Madami akong nababasa sa Facebook at naririnig kanina na nalulungkot sila dahil aalis at iiwanan na nila ang school, kesyo mamamiss daw nila yung mga professors namin. Hay sus, hindi ko alam kung totoo ito o nagpapabibo sila sa mga yun. Pero kasi ako, hindi sila mamimiss eh dahil matagal ko ng gustong kumawala sa kanila, ang talagang mamimiss ko ay ang mga kaibigan kong maiiwan ko sa eskwelahan at ang mga pinagsamahan namin.

Sometimes, its all about me ;D

Malaya ng makakatakbo si Gng. Arroyo para sa pag kongresista

Ayon sa balita ng pahayagan Philippine Star "It's final: GMA can run for House seat". Si Cong. Hontiveros ay ng apila ng kaso sa Korte Suprema ukol sa paglabag ni Gng. Arroyo sa ating Konstitusyon dahil sa kanyang pagtakbo bilang Kongresista ng pangalawang distrito ng Pampanga.

Sa aking opinyon mukhang pinagplanuhan talaga ito ng campo nina Gng. Arroyo, at alam na alam na nila ang kanilang gagawin. At ang pinapalabas pa nila ay
hindi gusto ni Gng. Arroyo na maging Speaker of the House, at ang sinasabi lang nila ay gusto lang maglingkod nito sa kanyang distrito, sa mga kalapit bayan nito at ang buong bansa. Batayan ang aking nakaraang isinulat dito, mukhang meron nga "hidden agenda" itong campong ito. Pinapalabas lang ni Gng. Arroyo na ayaw niya maging Speaker of the House, sinasabi din ng kanyang mga kaalyado na wag muna ito pag-usapan sa ngayon dahil hindi pa naman eleksyon, pero tignan natin sa bandang huli, lalo na pag naging presidente si Manny Villar, tiyak ito ay mangyayari. Ang lahat ng ito ay isang pasilip o isang babala sa kung ano na ang mangyayari sa ating administrasyon.

Ako naman ay humahanga kay Cong. Hontiveros at sa mga taong lumalaban at hindi sumasangaayon sa mga pangyayari, dahil kahit alam nila na imposible na manaig ang kabutihan laban sa masasama pinagpapatuloy parin nila ang laban at hindi sila nawawalan ng pag-asa. Saludo ako sa inyo! :D Pero sa kasamaang palad, habang hawak ni Gng. Arroyo ang gobyerno at ang mga pulitikong sumusuporta sa kanyan, ang mga kongresista tulad nu Cong. Hontiveros at tayong taong bayan ay aasa na lang na balang araw mananaig and kabutihan.

The secret meeting is not so secret anymore

Last week I received a text message from my father. The text message was all about the secret meeting of presidential candidate Manny Villar with President Gloria Arroyo and First Gentleman Mike Arroyo at the residence of Quezon City Mayor candidate Mike Defensor. The secret meeting was about Mr. Villar being the real presidential bet of Mrs. Arroyo, and presidential candidate Gilbert Teodoro was just a front of the Arroyo administration. Talks have been made already with the Commission on Elections (Commelec) on how Mr. Villar will win the May 10, 2010 elections, and when Mr. Villar wins the seat of the Speaker of the House is already waiting for her. I think that there is some truth to the rumors that are spreading. First of all it is surprising enough that the Administration chose Mr. Teodoro as their presidential bet because he is not known/ popular to the masses, and the masses have a huge population compared to the C to A class. For Mr. Teodoro to win the elections he needs to capture the hearts of the masses. Most certainly Gilbert Teodoro is not doing well in the list of surveys that have been conducted regarding the popularity of the presidential candidates. I'm not for or against Mr. Teodoro but I think that he doesn't have enough accomplishment so that the people could see or even realize that he could run a country. I am not under estimating what Mr. Teodoro has done, but I just think its not enough proof/evidence that he could run the Philippine government.

So in my opinion I really think that this rumors might be true. As you can see, its all over the news already; television, radio, newspapers. I even heard Mike Defensor speaking about this issue at an FM station which is aired Mondays to Thursdays 6pm to 10pm, and if you only heard what he was speaking about it was so out of context of the the radio show's program. Now its even in the news, there is discussion that is pushing Mrs. Arroyo to be Speaker of the House and her fellow colleagues are calling it as a "stroke of genius".

I don't know this might just be a sign that PGMA will still make her presence felt for the next coming years; this might just be one of her plans to remain in power. I don't know this are just some thoughts in my head. I think even if this rumor is already out in the open, the public will still be the judge of it. I just hope that the public isn't to blind to see it.

a good realization.

Yesterday before going to Trikzy's event I went to Joey's place first so we won't be having a hard time going to Makati. While I was at their place I had so much fun playing with Joey's Xbox 360. I miss those times I had a PlayStation at home, sit on the coach and play with it the whole day. But what really made me smiled was Joey's present for me for our 6th monthsary. It was a desk lampshade with yellow light (I really wanted that for the longest time) with a card which read "My dear BB, Life with you so far has been extraordinary. The love you have given me will last me a thousand lifetimes. Happy 6th. :) I Love You. Joey" Thanks love, I really appreciate it. :)

While we were on our way to Makati, we had so much fun talking about HongKong and Australia (two places me and Joey really love). As we were nearing the venue, Joey really had a hard time looking for a parking spot. I insisted that we stay and look for a parking spot, but at the end we opted to go to park near The Renaissance Hotel which costs 75php for three hours. Joey being frustrated in not finding a nearby parking spot and being hungry he didn't notice that he already ran on a red light. Way before that we were talking about traffic enforcers at Makati, you thought there was none of them then all of the sudden they come stopping right in front of your car. That would make you wonder like, "Where did he come from?" So long story short, we were caught by the Makati traffic police and now Joey's license is somewhere in a police station near Cash and Carry. I felt really pissed with it that for a while I lost my mood to party and enjoy the night, but I felt better as we walked going to the venue but Joey was really affected by it because he's so lazy to go to Makati just for that. Imagine he'll be coming from Sta. Rosa, Laguna then proceed to Makati, that's a long drive and plus he needs to pay 500php just to get his license back.

Anyways, we enjoyed the event even thought we were jammed pack inside and it was really hot. I also saw a really good friend of mine from high school (She was the one whom I wrote notes for if she sleeps through the class and borrowed eye glasses from because I really had poor eyesight). The fashion show was great, they really got great designers and models as well. The intermission numbers were great, and even the hosts really did a great job. Joey and I were really impressed with their event. Great job 4MCADV! :)


Now the quest to find where to eat begins. With all the expensive restaurants around, and no money we really had a hard time finding a place to eat. We walked around Greenbelt, passed by a lot of restaurants and still we were not able to choose. We went a long way to find the right place, and so we ended up choosing Marciano's by JohnandYoko. The food was really great, too many servings for two people (We ordered a 12 inch pizza, and two different kinds of pasta) and it was too much to handle, but we really loved to ambiance of the place. After such, we walked around for a while then I suddenly wanted to drink beer so we went to Sports Grill and ordered a bucket of beer which out of the six bottles we only drank four and while we were drinking we were watching UFC. I really felt that what I am doing on my part was really a guy thing which was a fun thing. :) I learned a number of things about the world of UFC, which was good (at least I learned something new) and we stayed until 12:30 then we decided to go home.

Clearly, it was one expensive and costly day for us so we came to the conclusion that we should hang out at his place for our dates. We could swim at their pool, play Xbox, watch DVDs plus the food is free. We'll be doing more of that with our incoming dates. :) Overall, I really had a great time. I was able to hang out with friends, and spend time with my love. :)
