real answers

sa una inakala naming sobrang walang kwenta ang Sci10. oo siguro nga walang kwenta siya. siya ang E.S. ng sophomore year pero maswerte ako sa napuntahan kong klase. hindi ko alam kung anong tinatalakay ng ibang klase, ngunit sa aming paminsan-minsang pagkikita (dahil halos sindami na ng free cuts ang mga meeting; hindi naman kami nagrereklamo), tinatalakay namin ang mga desisyong dapat marahil tinatalakay ng mga nasa posisyon ng pamahalaan at pribadong sector. waste management, sanitation, iba't ibang teknolohiya at kung anu-ano ring kakaibang imbensyon.

ngayong araw napag-usapan ang bio-latrine...ang pag-ipon ng mga dumi ng tao para panggalingan ng enerhiya sa pagluluto at pang-araw-araw na kuryente. tinanong ng guro namin kung paano maipapatupad iyon sa pilipinas, halimbawa sa mga illegal settlements ng mga slum dwellers (isang euphemism(?) para sa squatter's area at mga squatter). pero naisalang ang issue na nanakawin na lamang ng mga slum dweller ang mga tubo, at iba pang bahagi ng sistemang iyon. paano nga mapapagana ang bio-latrine sa pilipinas? kung iisipin makabubuti iyon sa kanila (at sa atin na rin; napag-alaman kong tinatapon pala nila sa ibabaw ng tren na dumadaan ang mga plastic ng kanilang *ehem* mina) para sa sanitasyon at makababawas sa kanilang gastusin para sa enrhiya at nakahanap pa tayo ng sustainable alternativer energy source. kayo, ano sa tingin ninyo?

dahil sa tanong na ito, naalala ko ang mungkahi ko noon. na magtayo ng isang website kung saan pwedeng talakayin ng mga tao ang mga idea nila. mga mungkahi nilang sagot sa mga pang-araw-araw na problema. pwede ring doon din ilagay ng mga tao ang pang-araw-araw nilang problema. para sa kaalaman ng lahat; at baka gumana ang mga mungkahi nila. ika nga sa pelikulang Master of Disguise, "it's so crazy; it just might work". ang saya siguro noon, 'di ba?

real solutions address the real problem. they don't result to further problems.

may sipon ako

tinulugan ko lang ang sona ngayong taon. sobrang lumulutang na kasi ang utak ko kaya't di ko na nakayanan pang panoorin si gloria. taun-taon ko iyon pinapanood, dahil na rin sa gusto kong makarinig ng mga magagandang bagay. mga proyektong ang ganda sana kapag ipinatupad. sana nakikinig din iyong mga hindi naka-gloria. sakaling di niya tuparin ang kanyang mga pangako, sigurado akong mayroon doong mapupulot na dapat nilang tuparin sakaling malagay sila sa pwesto. pupuna-puna sila, pag sila naman ang naroon wala rin magawa.

ayon. naisip ko lang, ang hirap maging pangulo. wala akong kakayanang suriin nang mabuti ang kanyang pamamahala, ngunit umaasa akong ginagawa niya ang kanyang makakaya.

may tanong ako. kung ang pangulo e kurakot pero maraming nagawa, magrereklamo pa kaya ang tao?

napag-usapan na lang din ang pagiging pangulo, naungkat kanina sa isang usapan ang pagiging officer ko. oo, officer. sa apat na taon ko sa mataas na paaralan, naboto ako bilang officer. naboto pa nga ako maski absent (HAHA YABANG). pero sa apat na taon na iyon, wala akong nagawa kundi sumigaw kapag maingay, mag-assign ng mga tao para iba't ibang event, kunin ang mga seatwork kapag wala ang guro, umiyak kapag napagalitan at umiyak pa muli. kumbaga sa college, beadle lang ako. iba iyon sa pamumuno. naging mediatrix lang ako ng batas at mga awtoridad (HAHA AWTORIDAD). masaklap para sakin ang katotohanang iyon. gusto ko matutong mamuno. gusto ko. at hindi ako nagdadrama, nanghihinayang lang kasi ako.

isang game lang.

sige na, koko. ikaw nalang ang babaeng di naglalaro, o.

madalas na sambit ng mga kaklase ko sa tuwing naroon na naman kami sa bahay ni Nonoy (haha) at ng malamang karamihan sa kalalakihan--ang Paradigm.

tanging ang pagtulog lamang sa sofa nila noong bago pa ito at pag-aaral para sa paparating na lit long test ang nakita kong gamit ng lugar na iyon. natulog na rin pala ako sa may desk. iyon lang. hindi ko noon maintindihan kung bakit lahat sila nakadikit ang mga mata habang pumapatay ng mga kalaban, na mabubuhay lang din naman muli.

noon.

hindi naman ako nag-dodota, hindi naman. pero ngayon naranasan ko na ang pakiramdam ng "isang game lang". ilang araw na'kong nagsasayang ng oras sa harap ng laptop para magminesweeper. iyong 99 mines, okay. haha. sa mga di marunong, subukan niyo. masaya. pampabilis din siguro ng reasoning to...simpleng deductive reasoning pero may kahalo ring kaswertehan. bilang pa lamang ng daliri ang mga beses na nanalo ako rito. sandali...mga 10 o higit pa, basta hindi ko kakailanganin ang kamay ng iba pang tao sa pagbibilang (iyon ay matapos ko nang magamit ang mga daliri ng paa ko). ngayon kapapanalo ko pa lamang ng isang game. at hindi ko pa nababasa ang para sa klase bukas. hay. mag-aaral ako mamaya, pagkatapos maghapunan. pero ngayon,

isang game lang.

mukha bakong 18?

[disclaimer::this is very twitter-like.]

or even older? kasi 18 y/o lang ang iaadmit sa eheads reunion concert.

hay hay. you confuse me. but you're still my favorite. ;)

now that everyone knows, i'm scared.

therese tells me i mustn't be pressured. i won't be. i won't!

paano nga uli ito:: How many ways can 5 boys and 5 girls be seated in a row if they must be seated alternately?

shimmon. :(

to cut hair or not to cut hair?

this calls for a celebration

but i don't have money. so let's just dance and party in our minds. :))


hello nicki david! apir, apir! haha


to my current favorite person, hi :)

Kaligayahan

Naalala ko mayroong nabanggit si Sir Egay sa klase noon ukol sa (o nabanggit niya talaga mismo) iyongs naisulat na tula ukol sa kaligayahan. Hindi ko na maalala kung saan tumungo ang mga linya ng nasabing tula, ngunit naaalala kong nabanggit nitong hindi naisusulat sa mga tula ang paksang kaligayahan. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, sa isang malaking kabalintunaan, tinalakay pa nga ng nasabing tula ang kalungkutan.

Ngunit hindi iyon ang pakay ko ngayon. Pakay kong tanungin, sa inyong mga inaasahan kong nariyan na bumabasa, kung naisusulat nga ba ang kaligayahan? Para kasing ang hirap e...kanina, sa katunayan, sinubukan ko. Ngunit wala akong nagawa kundi isulat na nanlalamig ang mga paa at kamay ko. Iyon lamang. Pag masaya ako, malamig. At ngayon, malamig ang mga kamay at paa ko :) Kinikilig ako :) At hindi iyon tungkol (lamang?:> ) sa pag-ibig. \:D/

Today is a happy day!

This is a happy character:: ~ .

Batman rocks my socks.

I SAW SOMEONE SA EASTWOOD OMG.

You do something to me that i can't explain :)

Brian del Rosario bringing some great news!!!!!!!!!

Please don't destroy my evening. OR my week, even. Friday~ HAHA


let's do the danceeeee. visualizeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. A is for Accounting. The Law of A-ttraciton [got these,uh,mantras from nicki.]

\:D/ \:D/ \:D/

NSTP nightmare.

high school friends must know two things very well::

1. i hate don't like kids.

2. i suck at artsy stuff.

and, tomorrow, i will have to deal with them both. i like teaching,okay? so stop asking why i took LTS in the first place. no more jescia aquilizan who's so good at cutting. [seriously.] no roxanne enriquez who's so o.c. about everything, plus the fact that she's so gay, she can do the name tags of the kids with her eyes closed. no computer with me, so i can't print out the shiz.

God help me.

KIDS + ART = KOKOZILLA :| :)) :((

i refuse to do anything that involves brain activity.

well technically, typing this and the mere blinking and breathing is brain activity, but you get my point. today i had a math long test, and can i just say that our math prof has no right to give us a test of such kind because she never really taught well. we cursed during the test, and i did even before starting cause i didn't have a single working ballpoint pen! so i used the penS of kim, cause i couldn't decide which pen would work best, haha. the test ended by 12 and we had comfort food cause the she giving that kind of test was that bad. comfort food = rodic's tapsilog. haha

and so, right after lunch we went to matteo and started flexing our accounting brains. up until 3 pm we were answering stuff, and then we decided we needed to eat cause our brains are just so drained. went back to answer more accounting stuff till 5.30 and off we went to the accounting make-up class till 7.45-ish.

now my eyelids are drooping and i am tempted to just sleep and rest, leave all the accounting doom for tomorrow and not read for theology. que horror! i want to read theology because it sucks to know that i only have four subjects and yet i don't have a decent study sched. :-< anyway, i will rest, i'll tell sir jimenez that i'm sorry i was not able to read the article and i must visualize in my rest.


Quattro para quattro!

Have you seen Kuya Itim?

Napadaan na ba kayo sa may Katipunan, malapit sa may sakayan ng U.P. jeep sa ilalim ng tulay? Hindi, hindi iyong tulay panao kundi tulay pangkotse. Iyong malapit sa Aurora at madilim? Basta iyong malapit sa Gate 1 ng Ateneo. Nakita niyo ba si Kuya Itim lately? Kasi nung minsang dumaan ako, wala siya e. Si Kuya Itim iyong taong grasang pinangalanan ko bilang Kuya Itim sa mga kadahilanang hindi ko na kailangang ipaliwanag. Noong minsang naglakad ako papasok wala siya at ang mga sako niyang silong kapag umuulan, maging ang mga supot ng pinaglalagyan ng kung anumang tinatrato niya bilang kayamanan at ari-arian. Wala, maliban na lamang sa kulay niyang dumikit na sa posteng kinasasandalan.

Ngayon hindi ko alam kung nag-c.r. break lang siya noon. Kung gayon nga, aba'y katuwa-tuwa naman siyang umaalis pa upang sumagot sa tawag ng kalikasan!

Maaari rin namang isipin na nagsawa na siya sa kinalulugaran niya. Balita ko sa mga dugong Atenista mula pa noon, doon na talaga siya nakatira, bagamat hindi ko alam kung tamang tawagin iyon bilang "tirahan". Marahil, para sa kanya, isa nga iyong tirahan.

Mas masarap sigurong isiping mayroong naglakas-loob na kupkupin siya. Sa gayong paraan, mag-iiba ang kanyang pananaw at kahulugan sa salitang, "tirahan". Gusto ko 'tong gawin talaga, pero ang mga pagkakataon ay hindi ako pinahihintulutang gawin iyon. Alam naman natin kung anong mga reaksiyon ang makukuha ko, at maaari ring hindi ko mapanindigan ang kung anumang ginawa ko.

Kung ang pinakamasaklap na sitwasyon naman ang iisipin, maaaring nawala na lamang siyang bigla at ang tanging natira sa kanya ay ang maitim na alikabok sa poste. Marahil ay mas posible pa nga ito kaysa sa naunang haka ko, dahil hindi naman ito nalalayo sa estado ni Kuya Itim sa ating kamalayan--isang bungkos ng alikabok, iyon, at wala nang iba.

Writing is an act of vanity

It may be the restlessness of the heart that called out to the wind,

or the wind quickened the restless heart.

Nonetheless,

the blood rushed to my veins

and exploded at my fingertips--

staining the fibers woven

and occasional dirt scattered.

It was magnificent;

each curve carefully placed.

And as if it had the life of its own

the squiggly lines picked themselves up...

forming the movement,

the thought and the sight.

It had more than what I gave it.

It went beyond what I wrote.

It went...

beyond me.

i try.

tagal ko nang di nagsusulat. pero may idea na 'ko. kailangan ko lang lagyan ng thought. must spend more time being a loner. :)) wala lang, random.

i try.

i fail.

do you have time?

For the purpose of an experiment, I'd like you to do this exercise. Please don't spoil the fun :) I just want to see if my hunch is correct :)

Think of a number between 20 and 50.


Got it?


But I have to tell you... both of the digits must be odd.


And the digits must be distinct. No repeating digits, please.


You got it?
















































Is your number 35? Do tell me what happened with this exercise :)


Got this from pierre and so far, only guys have been answering 35. What does this say about guys? Are you guys predictable? :))

When the Going Gets Tough

Writing technical papers are one of my pet peeves. This is one of the reasons why I almost flunked my En12 course--which fortunately did not happen, but made the big 0.08 difference. Technical paper writing does not permit me to write on lower case, use parentheses for side comments, and place excessive emphasis on certain things like placing nine more exclamation points than the single, boring and proper exclamation point.

Just in writing the previous paragraph, I violated three of those rules and I had to edit it. It is just so weird having to separate all those contractions, not using the word "stuff", placing spaces after commas and all other punctuation marks, and having to type in proper case.

Right now I have to write a paper for our Theology class project and I could not write anything for my topic. Had this been a creative essay, I would easily fill up the trivial two-page requirement I imposed on myself. I think in my other life, I am a creative writing major. The time now is 18.50 and I am 3 hours and 10 minutes away from my deadline. I still have no idea on what I should do to lengthen my essay, and a minute just passed again.

When the going gets tough, I stall.

hope this cancels everything out.

Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1. When the case you're working on in accounting balances.

2. Pag bigla kang makakahanap ng sobrang profound, sobrang gandang thought mula sa isang [mistulang] sobrang simpleng bagay.

3. Pag-inom ng malamig, pero yung hindi sobra, na tubig pagkatapos ng AEROBICS.

4. Pag may nag-o-offer sayo ng mga bagay na hindi madalas gawin ng mga tao. ;)

5. Sa tuwing ang isang doodle ay nagiging isang maganda/cute na drawing.

6. Pag may yumakap sa iyo nang di mo hinihingi...pero syempre, depende pa rin iyon sa taong gagawa. :))

7. Pag sisiksikan mo ang katabi mo sa pagtulog pag malamig.

8. Pag naalala ka ng mga taong di mo aakalaing kilala ka.

9. Pag nasarapan ang mga tao sa niluto mo.

10. Watching a good movie with maki, jourdan and roxy sa trinoma expensive seats :)

i tag all those people who can count to ten, just so i'm assured they can accomplish this. whu? pakiramdam ko ang bobo-bobo ko na. :(

handlebars by flobots

jourdan showed me this song by flobots.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

Look at me, look at me
hands in the air like it's good to be
ALIVE
and I'm a famous rapper
even when the paths're all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm Proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want cuz, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome

I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone

Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all grilled leavin lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
and I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
and I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handle bars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

so it sounded silly when he told me about the i can ride my bike with no handlebars and when i saw the me and my friend saw a platypus. when you take the lines separately it really is silly. but when i saw the whole song,especially with lines i can end the planet on a holocaust and i can lead a nation with a microphone, i sensed it was something more than just a sabaw song.

what i first thought of it is something like humans playing god. but then i realize now that it is about humans playing god only when i single out certain lines. so i looked up what other people think it is, and some think it could be about growing up, and how people can go from completely innocent--as seen in the bike, to absurd--like the holocaust.

however, most of the comments about this song were about america and bush--how bush could ride a bike with no handlebars by leading a nation without caring. or how america is dominant over the world.

nonetheless, it can be about power. i think riding a bike with no handlebars could mean loss of control over things, and that things get out of hand when humans hold power...

now that's ironic--losing control over control.

aw :D

minsan pag pagod na pagod ka na talaga...may mga taong gagawa ng kabutihan sa iyo na sobrang maiiyak ka na.

kanina sobrang bigat ng laptop at accounting book at umuulan pa...pagsakay ko ng jeep binigyan ko ng sampu iyong asawa(ata) nung driver. sinuklian niya ako ng pito. PITO. PITO! at maski piso lang iyon kung lahat ng mga estudyante na di nagsasabi na estudyante sila at maigi nilang sinusunod ang batas bagamat bawas iyon sa kita nila sobrang shet ang saya ng pakiramdam. at nandun pa iyong anak nila. sobrang salamat po!!!! mabuhay po kayo!!!!

wala lang :)
