I just updated my entry last summer (07) about my PE Basketball Class. I meant to strikethrough the quote "My best PE ever" since it was not anymore true.

This summer's PE Camping Class under Prof. Dizer is now my best PE ever.. and it should be that forever. This is my last PE to be taken in my college life, unless I would be out of my mind to overload myself in the next sems.

We are required to attend two camp-out sessions, one in Zambales and the other at Batangas.

I had no idea what Camping as a PE would be. But I have no regrets on taking this class. I had instant out-of-towns this summer. I gained new friends, and a lot of fun memories and experiences.

One regret though, my nanay won't allow me to La Union with my dormmates because she said that I had enough "excursions" and beach for this summer. What a bore. Hayy...

I remembered this text from Donna...

"Your college friends know who you are, but your high school friends know the reason."

******

I just met with my high school barkada today. I guess it was already more than six months since we all got together. We had a cook-out at Vika's house. They met at SM Tunasan to buy the ingredients, but I had to do some task for JPIA (marketing) in the morning so I just went directly to Vika's house at around 2:30pm.

Since I was late, as usual I was the object of their attention--in short, inaasar. It was usually Roxie's role to be the one "bullied" by Jo-d and Jonix, but since Roxie has her "special power" over us, they had to turn to me as their subject. Haha, but its nothing to me.. sanay na ako e. (Ehem ehem... sana maguilty naman).

Anyway, our menu includes japanese chicken barbeque, meaty macaroni salad, healthy smoothies, and fruits. YUMMMMY! haha siyempre luto namin yun! :D

But of course, more than the food, it was the time na makapagkwentuhan, ponder about the past and the "future," and just be with your true friends. Wala naman masyado nagbago sa amin, pero kung meron man.. I guess kaya hindi naman napapansin kapag magkakasama ay dahil nga we know who the real us are. We're just always ourselves kapag magkakasama.

Hehe! Ayan, I had fun Genio! Thanks!

A VERY PRODUCTIVE DAY.

I am adventurous but also lazy.. so i end up not doing the things that i want or planned. But today (technically yesterday) is, as the title says, a very productive day.

Today is my first day of summer break. And salvaging what's left of my summer vacation, I immediately tried to organize my life and attend to my responsibilities for the org.

With just 5 hours of sleep, I went to Divisoria with Billy and Anne to canvass for our org shirt. We officially started our window shopping at around 9am. We had our path laid-out: One side then 168 then the other side. We searched along juan luna st. and 168 for polo shirt. (Yes, yes.. it is highly probable that the jpia shirt for next sem will be collared! Haha hope we won't disappoint the expectations of the members.) We have our prospects. I won't disclose the prices of course, but it was ok. Now, we can focus with the design. Btw, I had a little side-trip at 168. I bought a USB led-lamp for the dorm so that I wouldn't be charged another for the electricity.

After lunch we went to RECTO. It was another long walk to the jeepney station. Our agenda at Recto was to canvass for ID Laces. I would say that it was also accomplished.

We finished the two tasks at past 3pm. I forgot that the bank closes at 3pm so I still rode a Philcoa bound FX. I did double my trip bec. I still went to Q Ave MRT Station rather than going directly to Lawton. Anyway, added adventure.

So three tasks done: Canvass for Shirt, Canvass for ID Lace, Buy USB Lamp

And I'm not yet done!

I had my hair rebonded from 5pm to the closing time of 9pm. From walking all afternoon to sitting all night... Owel, balanced! It was a Korean Salon with real Korean hairdressers. It is really amazing to listen to people in the salon. The assistants were calling one another "be." There was nothing wrong but it was a bit disturbing, dunno why. Anyway no big issue there. One assistant asks me if I'm working (okay, should I be insulted? Never mind). Of course I told them that I was a college student. They asked me where. I answered, UP Diliman. Their reactions was the typical.. a bit in awe... hehe yabang! But then she asks... "dba dun yung may maraming namatay sa hazing?" Uhm.. ate opo may isa last year... marami po ba yun? Grr kainis actually na ang connotation na with UP is the fraternity violence. Can't they ask other things like.. ahh dba national university na kayo? Well I wouldn't blame her.. bad publicity e. But I just wish that they would see the great things in UP. Okay, next.

Super nakakaawa rin ung mga assistant and the stylists as well. It is obvious that they are understaffed. Tapos 9-9 pa ung work nila. Imagine twelve hours of blowers, ironing and shampooing. Naaawa nga ako sa kanila kasi after ironing or blowering, shampoo naman.. vv. Pero it nakakatuwa kasi first time ko to experience 3 people doing my hair. Haha! There were 3 people blowering my hair and 2 people ironing it. Kasi naman nagmamadali na sila 'coz closing na and pagod na rin sila I guess. One assistant is even feverish for the whole day but she continued with her work. The Korean hairdressers are very kind and down to earth. Although there is an evident language barrier kaya di masyado naguusap... just hearing and seeing them (hairdressers) talk kindly and humorously with the assistants is fun. They don't mind doing the "menial" jobs such as the blowering. Basta nakita nilang kaya nilang gawin and walang available, they would take on the job. Admirable din ung energy ng mga stylists kasi 3 lang sila for the whole day. And marami talagang customers... so imagine the stress. But they were the first hairstylists that I saw who really seem to have a passion for their job... i dunno but you'll just see it in them. I'm wondering how much is their salary? As well as the assistants'? Two were talking about retiring na nga because of the work... imagine 12 hours. Another that i really wouldn't forget was the P1,000 tip of the mother of a Chinese boy to the assistant, while it was only P500 for the hairdresser. First odd thing was that the assistant got a higher tip than the hairdresser. Second, gosh P1500 for a tip?? Haha. Ako nga I only gave P100 for the hairstylist and P100 for all the assistants (grabe ang dame nilang naghandle sa akin.. i guess five or more sila). Sorry naman, estudyante lang po.

Anyway, that's one productive day. Hope it would be repeated. :DDD

ZzzzZzz....

Warning: No direction. Anything goes.

Reading my last blog entry was really funny. I was talking about how hard I struggled academically and "emotionally?" Guess what? It was even harder for my 2nd semester! To prove my point, I did not make it as a CS (College Scholar requires a min of 1.75 GWA) this semester which I could attribute to my 2.75 in 114.1 (Fin Accounting) and 2.5 in 142 (Finance). The former was purely my fault, but let's not start with my grade in Finance because it entails its own entry. In short, I am bitter with Finance. GC na or mayabang pero I really don't deserve it! With accounting, I purely admit my fault. Emotionally... blah!

BUt I wouldn't say that the previous sem was always bad, but in fact, it was the happiest sem in my 3 years of college. I wasn't the diligent student but I was happy. I had new and old friends. I got really involved with my organization. The highlight of my previous sem was primarily the org. FP, elections, friends, etc. I can really associate myself with FP. FP is where i grew up, and so FP will always be my first love. Haha cheesy but my orgmates would understand. Even if my HS friends mistake me as a party person because I always invite them to parties staged by our organization. It just so happen that the FPs where of the party type, but those who are really know can tell that I am not that type and my org is not a party org. It's just that we want a break from the assumptions that we are nerdy and boring and a break from the hellish accounting subjects. One more is my running for a position in this org. I lost. Haha! But it was absolutely okay. No pretentions. Sometimes I just think back and wonder how I gathered courage to run. I was really a nobody (in comparison) before. But I don't know. It was one decision that was made out of impulse and passion, but nothing is regretted. It improved me in so many ways.I also became close to several new persons, but of course not forgetting about my old friends.

My mother is bugging me now for me to sleep. I'll be waking up early tomorrow to go to Divisoria.. haha adventure! Go shopping!

Ok so to be continued.

The Sem-ender Blog.

Yes, once again my sem break is just one exam away! (And now, after my *ehem* acccounting finals, I am definitely not in the mood to study right away for my MicroEcon validation exam on friday)

What is this sem for me?

It's really been hard.. academically.. and other personal aspects. I've kept on complaining on how hard and how lazy I have been every end of the sem, but this time, it's for real. Many thinks that I am good in accounting.. Duh! (if only they know. It seems to me that I've got no motivation for studying and focusing on accounting. Owel. But then, past is past. What I've performed in my subjects and their results are now beyond my control. I will just have to wait and, of course, pray that everything will pay-off and hopefully with bonuses.

Ayan tinamad na ako.. to be continued...

You Are the Ego

You take a balanced approach to your life.
You definitely aren't afraid to act out on your desires - even crazy ones.
But you usually think first. Morals drive you as much as hedonism does.
You've been able to live a life of pleasure... without living a life of excess.
