DAY TWENTY-ONE
Rex blogs: Entrance Exams Tips + Let's Go UP!

Isa na namang nakalkal na artik sa aking baul, haha! Pang-high school students na naman, galing din sa survival kit ng org namin last year. Obviously, biased ang tips na ito for UP and its UPCAT. Syempre, love your own diba? Kung love mo school mo, edi go post your own artik, hehe! Peace! Anyway, I'm not bashing any other school in this article, so I guess this should be harmless.

__________
Entrance exams: major alalahanin kapag fourth year ka na. Syempre, hindi ka makakapasok sa isang matinong university kung hindi ka magte-take nito. By this time, only a few of your fellow seniors ang nakapili na ng course at college or university. Yung ilang naman, iniisip pa kung dito pa rin sa Pampanga mag-aaral or luluwas ng Maynila or aakyat ng Baguio. At mas marami sa inyo ay ni hindi pa sigurado sa kanilang napiling course. Although majority sa inyo naman ay napilit ng mga magulang na mag-Nursing, diba?

Anyway, hindi naman dapat katakutan ang mga entrance exams. If you think about it, wala naman silang itatanong na hindi mo pa napag-aralan nung high school diba? Problem is, naalala mo pa kaya lahat-lahat ng itinuro sa iyo mula 1st year hanggang 4th year? Haha! Isa pang problema ay kapag pataasan ng scores ang labanan. Kapag kasi marami ang gustong pumasok sa isang university, hindi enough na passing ang score mo. Dapat ay one of the best ka talaga – gaya ng sa UPCAT. Each year, more than 60,000 students from both public and private schools take the UPCAT, umaasang makapag-aral sa premiere state university ng Pilipinas. At dahil around 10,000 lang available slots sa lahat ng UP Campuses nationwide, kailangan na paghandaan mo nang maigi ang UPCAT. For example, alam niyo ba na sa mahigit na 14,000 applicants for BS Nursinc sa UP Manila, 70 lang tatanggapin?

Most common preparation for an entrance exam are review classes like UP Aguman’s College Entrance Exam Review (CEER). I'm sure yung iba sa mga classmates mo ay nag-review lessons na nung summer pa. Hindi mo nga naman kasi ma-re-review sa isa or dalawang araw at gabi ang more than 3 years worth of lessons. Reviews are always a great help but they’re not guarantees.

Don’t expect that doing some studying the night before your exam will do you any good. The probability na lilitaw ang mga mismong ire-review mo ay napakaliit. Mas maganda na matulog ka na lang nang maaga or huwag kang mag-puyat para maganda ang feeling mo when you take your exam. Research studies have proven that when you feel okay during an exam, your mind will perform better and you’ll actually improve your chances of remembering and analyzing things properly.

Ang pinaka-effective na paraan to get flying colors sa iyong entrance exam ay dapat na sinimulan mo na 3 years ago pa: ang mag-aral nang mabuti mula 1st year pa. Aside from the fact that some entrance exams like the UPCAT take into consideration your high school grades together with your test scores, ang pag-aaral nang mabuti ay ang iyong ultimate review. A dependable stock-knowledge is a big contributing factor to ace your entrance exams. There’s a saying that only the real geniuses get into UP, not the bookish ones who know nothing more than what is in your textbooks. The inside joke is that while only the geniuses enter UP, ang mga masisipag naman ang nakaka-survive at guma-graduate on time.

If you’re not the honor student type, don’t fret na wala ka nang pag-asang pumasa sa UPCAT or sa mga ibang admission tests. Meron akong personal testimony dito. Out of the 15 who passed the UPCAT in our 180-strong batch, only 5 are medalists during our graduation. At eto pa, 3 sa kanila ay iyung tipo na hindi mo iisipin na may tinatagong talino, iyung paloko-loko lang. at huwag ka, ECE pa ang course nung isa while not even the 1st Honorable Mention awardee made it, kahit non-quota pa ang course niya.

Just so you know, UP Colleges don’t sort their applicants entirely based on the applicants’ overall UPG (University Predicted Grade – which is a weighted score of your high school grades and UPCAT results). Your UPG is divided into different subgrades – the different subjects included in the coverage of the UPCAT. Certain colleges sort their applicants according to subgrades more crucial to their academic fields. For example, Engineering students are preferred to be good in Math, so all engineering courses sort their applicants according to their Math UPG. Simply put, kung importante ang Math (or other subject areas) sa course mo, yun ang may mas mabigat na bearing sa final score mo. Syempre, sa mga medicine-related courses, mas importante ang medical sciences grades and scores like Biology and/or Chemistry UPGs. Sa mga social sciences and arts-related courses, mas importante naman ang English UPGs. And so on and so forth.

Lastly, hindi mawawala ang factor ng luck. Kaya samahan mo na rin ng taimtim na dasal kay Lord ang iyong exam preparations. If it’s meant to be, it will happen. Kung hindi ka man pumasa ng UPCAT, don’t worry. May kinabukasan pang naghihintay sa iyo. Mag-aral ka na lang muna nang mabuti sa ibang university at transfer ka na lang sa UP after 1 year. Hehe!

When I was in 4th Year HS, I only took 3 entrance exam tests: UPCAT, ACET and the UST exam (damn, I don't know what they call UST's entrance exams, hehe, sowee.. =p). I took the UPCAT at UPEPP at Angeles City, the ACET at the Holy Angel University and the UST exam, well, at UST.

For the record, (pero hindi ako nagmamayabang, ok), hindi ako nag-attend ng review classes except for the UP Aguman's CEER during my time (but only because 90% of the batch is attending, hehe). I did not review at all for the UPCAT and ACET -- I didn't have any of those MSA reviewers. Because I didn't take them seriously at that time. I only bought a reviewer for the UST exam because I really wanted to study there. Luckily, I passed all 3 entrance exams, under my respective 1st choice courses (Computer Engineering at UPD, Computer Engineering with Physics at ADMU, and Information Technology at UST). I also applied for a scholarship sa Ateneo, pero hindi ko nakuha yung scholarship. Pinaka-nahirapan ako sa ACET. Easiest for me was the UST exam.

Gusto ko sa UST kasi doon ang gusto ng mga barkada ko, hehe. I didn't have any idea that UP was the prestigious university. So when I was one of the few who passed from our school, casual ko lang na tinanggap ang balita, parang wala lang sa akin. Sa isip ko, so CoE pala ako sa UP, oh well, natural lang naman iyon, dahil iyon ang inapplyan ko.. I didn't know I won a slot versus 50,000+ other hopefuls, hehe. Tinawag pa tuloy ako na mayabang. Haha!

When my father learned I preferred UST over UP, sabi niya, "Kung hindi ka mag-UP, huwag ka nang mag-aral! Hindi mo ba alam kung gaano karami ang gustong mag-UP?!" O diba, may ganon?! Being the good son I was, I relented. In the end, nakasama ko rin sa UP yung isa kong kabarkada na nakapasa din sa UP. So ok lang!

And now, after 5 years in UP Diliman, well, eto lang masasabi ko:

U-NA-I-BA-E-RA-SA-I-DA-A-DA
NA-GA-PA-I-LA-PA-I-NA-A-SA!
U-nibersidad ng Pilipinas (8x)
Matatapang, matatalino
Walang takot, kahit kanino
Hinding-hindi magpapahuli
Ganyan kaming mga taga-UP!
U-nibersidad ng Pilipinas (8x)
U!

Yak, ang yabang ko, parang kailan lang eh muntik na ako masipa sa UP, haha! ^_^
Haha! Excited na ako sa Cheering Competition! =p

Gee blogs: LIB. Orientation care of UP FLIPP

Hmmm... the first program of the sem. ( ProgCom na ko! hehe). And I can say that hindi pala ganun kadali ang maging part ng PROGCOM although tumatakbo lang xa kapag may programs... basically, sa food kami naka-assign kanina and... errrrr... nakakabadtrip! Actually, o.k. na naman talaga yung plan. May isang taong sadyang nakakabadtrip lang... sana kasi sinasabi niya yung nangyayari para hindi kami nag-aaksaya ng oras... Yun pa nmn ung pinaka-kinaiinisan ko... Well, sabi nga ng iba sa mga orgm8s ko: WELCOME TO THE CLUB! ... And I'm very happy to join... *clapclap!... Pwede bang maging vice president? haha!

First time ko pa naman yun kaya sobrang nahihiya ako kasi hindi ko siya nagampanan ng maigi. Ngunit (naks... malalim 'to!) I learned a lot from this event. TIME IS GOLD... niahahahaha... but it's true!

And yung essence ng tulungan. grabe. Actually, before kasi i was like (and nasanay kasi ako) ... kung saang commitee ka, dapat dun ka na lang... pero kanina, nung nakita kong prepared na yung mga plates, I was like... WOW! thanx a lot! ang laking tulong... grabe...

Hmmmm... and, it's really nice to meet the new lis students and the new APPLICANTS (hehe..). Actually ( as usual...) may crush na naman ako... TATLONG NEW LIS STUDENTS... haha!

OO nga pala, kumidlat ng matindi kanina... gravity... andun kami sa may libwalk... then ayun nga, kumidlat and may natamaang tree malapit sa amin... Gosh... nag red yung buong surroundings ng 1 second... I thought end of the world nah! Scary!

hehe... so, yun lang muna...

itigil n 2!

DAY NINETEEN
Gee blogs: Life oh Life...

FLASH BACK: June 21, 2006

P.E. : DUCKPIN BOWLING.

Remember my previous post? That I really hated the fact that I didn't get my desired P.E. subject? Waaaaaaaah! I knew it! Destiny brought us (Jobel and I) there... Hihihi... gravity, ang daming CUTE! Bwahaha... And there was this scene that our prof. grouped us into 8 ( it was 1,2,3,4,5,6... GRUP 1! AND SO ON...). Errr,,, wala man lang napuntang cute sa group namin kahit isa. as in natipon siya sa last group where andun lahat sila and mayroong nag-iisang girl sa group nayon. GROUP 8. Well, a former BW-D student adviced me that Lane 8 is the worst lane... arrrghhh,,, kung ako yung nag-iisang girl dun sa group 8, kahit super bako-bako pa yung lane... I DON'T CARE (HAHA... at iniwan ko c jobel.. TAMA BA NAMAN UN?). It's very embarassing nga, kasi nung na-assign na yung groups and nabadtrip na kami nung nakita namin yung group 8, I said " Infairness ah, ang swerte niya!". And gosh, I'm so syupid to think that wala namang makakarinig sa amin, because inches lang pala ang difference ng group namin sa GROUP 8. Err.. wala na, I'm dead! haha...

Hehe, I missed this; WRITING ABOUT INFATUATION. (a blog entry of a 13year old sweet gal). haha, I'm 19 nah! Pero ngayon lang naman ako nag guyhunting ulit ah?

Well, together w/ my highschool friends, we went to Julio's house... His dad passed away kasi last Sunday, and take note: IT WAS FATHER'S DAY. Julio is one of the jolliest person in our class and to see him "smiling" that night, kinda made me sad, knowing the fact that he's hiding all his sentiments. I kinda remember exactly the feeling when my grandfather passed away... It made me missed him.

June 22, 2006

I dunno but this day aint that good... 22 pa naman... My fave and lucky number.

This must be shallow... But... I'm having an inferiority complex again... I thought I was over it nah... Maybe it's because I was just fcuked up with those,,, errr... CHANGE TOPIC!!!

And another thing,,, did you ever experience the feeling of being a fish out of a water? The feeling that you're in a box full of beautiful but unlikely flowers? That's what I'm feeling right now. You know, I'm in that particular box where I'm forcing my self to be happy but honestly, I'm not. FIRST IMPRESSION LASTS: a stupid phrase before, but it's having sense now. If you are in a stage where the expected outcome that was introduced to you before isn't happenning, what will you feel? Dayum! And now I'm tied up! I can never get out of that box,,, while I'm doing things that I don't wanna do... I'm tired of seeing such occurences that little things are usually turned into gigantic stuffs; that REALITY is not acceptable; and of course, the facts that I am really not taking pleasure in... But you know what, I really wanna make them realize that there are such things that aint progressing. I began to love them, and i really really love them. I actually can't believe that I'm writing this entry (that is obviously against that box), but I can't really help it. Dayum, I thought I was strong! Pls.., prove me wrong!

********************************************************

Hehe, super serious ba? Eneiweiz, naging happy din naman ako bago nun. I was in our org's tambayan and guess what??? may mga lumapit na students para mag-apply sa UP FLIPP.. wow! and madami naring nag-sign ng application form. Gosh, very overwhelming. Sana tumuloy silang lahat... or else, they'll miss half of their life! hehe...

Hahaha... this must be my messiest entry ever... For 2 days, I showed plenty of emotions... hayyy,,, that's life!

So, ayun na muna for now...

itigil na 2!!!

Rex blogs: Senior ka na, ikaw na ang boss! Haha!

Eto, nakalkal ko na naman sa mga files ko. I wrote this article for my org’s survival kit supplement sa aming CEER for Kapampangan High School seniors a year ago. Napansin ko kasi na madami sa inyo eh mga high school students pa, so I thought this could help, kahit papaano. Hehe, sana! =p

__________
Sa wakas! Senior year na! Surely, you were so looking forward to this school year. Bakit naman hindi diba? Kahit sumingit ka sa pila sa canteen, walang mag-rereklamo. At kahit pinakahuli kang dumating sa service, sa may pinto ka pa rin makakaupo. Kung ikaw pa ang pinakasiga, sa may harapan ka pa laging nakapuwesto. You get the prime roles during co-curricular activities. Mas malamang kesa hindi, ikaw pa ang Champion sa Intrams. At sa gabi ng prom, ikaw ang pinaka-maganda / gwapo. In short, ikaw ang bida at boss ng campus.

But, like Uncle Ben said, ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. With more and better perks, comes more and harder requirements and duties. Not to mention greater expectations. Andyan ang mas pinahirap na algebra at trigo; makikilala mo na si Engels, Smith at Marx; magiging idol mo si Newton; not to mention ang iyong sort-of thesis, atbp. Kamusta ka naman diba? Idagdag mo pa ang mga iba’t ibang entrance examinations at career orientation. You are practically driving into a rotunda of your life. Whichever avenue you turn to (ie, the course and school you’ll choose) will practically define the rest of your life. Kaya naman, there should be no room for mistakes. No pressure, right?

Your last year in high school is definitely a turning point in your life. It should be the best year of your high school life. Nasa iyo na yan if you’ll make the most and best out of it. If there’s a year where you can be yourself with the least inhibitions, it should be your senior year. Without breaking the school rules naman ha. Don’t make too many enemies din. If you want to change for the better, start now. Keep in mind that your reputation until you graduate to your peers will stick until you start your own families. Unless, of course, if you’re the type who’d still see each other in college and thereafter. Come to think of it, when batchmates whom you never talked to come across your yearbook and see your page, they’ll will think: ‘ah eto yung school snub nung high school!’ I'm sure you’d prefer ‘eto yung laging naka-smile at very friendly’ diba?

Siguro di ka na rin makahintay to get out of high school. You can't wait to get out of the clutches of your principal’s rules. You can't wait for college where you’ll have more freedom. Pero, the thought of you and your barkada going to different schools probably makes you anxious. You’ve been with them all these years of growing up from being kids to being adolescents tapos ngayon ay magkakahiwalay na kayo. Oh well, talagang ganyan. Kahit naman sino na-feel ang nafi-feel mo ngayon.

At the end of the day, eto lang ang ma-aadvise namin sa iyo: enjoy your senior year or should I say the rest of your high school life. What they say is true: that you won't feel the importance of something until you lose it. Feeling mo, ang 8 months to your March graduation is too long for a wait. Subalit ngunit datapwat, pustahan tayo, come January, kung hindi lang importante ang magkaroon ng high school diploma, you wouldn’t want to get out of high school. By this time, you’re having the time of your life. Feel na feel mo na ang pagiging Senior. More so, while you still can get a perfect score sa quizzes kahit nung lunch break ka lang nagbasa ng El Filibusterismo, seize the chance! Dahil malay mo, pagdating ng college, kahit mag-sunog ka pa ng kilay, babagsak ka pa rin. While you still always have the weekends for gimiks, treasure all those free time. When you’re in college, free time to just rest is already in itself a valuable treasure. Siguro ngayon, halos i-fast forward mo ang oras para makatuntong ka na sa college. Easy ka lang. Dahil believe me, kapag nasa college ka na, the freedom you were yearning for will make you wish that you were back in high school, where you have nice teachers to tell you what to do.

Di mo ba napansin na your teachers are always telling you to learn to be more independent as preparation for college? Kesyo you’ll experience the ‘real world’ daw when you’re in college. It’s absolutely true, except for the fact that the ‘real world’ is always the next level. Sa college naman, the ‘real world’ is the professional world, where you’ll have to earn a living for yourself. In short, kanya-kanyang oras lang iyan. Lahat ng ito ay kailangan pagdaanan, dahil lahat ng experiences natin sa bawat stage ay magagamit natin sa susunod na level. Magsaya ka habang nasa high school ka. Pero syempre, don’t neglect your studies dahil may effect ang grades sa magiging course at university mo. Don’t worry, pasasaan at ga-graduate at magiging college student ka rin. For now, enjoy bullying the lower years, haha!

DAY EIGHTEEN
So far... -Gee

Well, well, well... I haven't made a blog entry or any thoughts to share... I've been sooo busy kc... And you know what, I don't know if I'll be sad or happy the moment I visited the pbbfg3 site again...

SAD - not really, the best word cguro is DISAPPOINTED. wala lng, I'm somehow disappointed nung nabasa ko that someone thought that I will quit the game... BECAUSE I WONT. hehe... Pero xempre, I can't blame him kasi never ko pa naman xang nakausap...

HAPPY - yes! When I saw a lot of VHs POSTS, especially those who seldom updates his/her blog, I was like... Wow! nax! I missed some of them kc (esp. yung mga cutie bunsos, kashen and cathe).

SAD (again!) - Uhm,,, sort of... because of the fact that EVICTION IS NEAR... awww!!! and xempre, that will be our first eviction and i really don't know what will be our basis... magkakaiba yan panigurado... Eneiweiz, goodluck! Sana, makausap ko na yung ibang hindi ko pa nakaka-usap before mag friday.

(add nio ko sa ym : geeautiful_2002@yahoo.com , madalas akong magonline ng 8:00- 11:00.. hihihi)

Errrr... I wish I can write a blog entry pa.... awww! maybe tomorrow na lng! ciao!!!

Immunity for all

In the past two seasons of Pinoy BigBrother Fantasy Game, VHs battle for immunity. In Season 1, winner of the immunity challenge cannot be nominated. In Season 2, evicting and saving points received during the nomination by the winner of immunity challenge are nullified.

This season, VHs are given immunity.

Each VH has 1 immunity. Immunity is non-transferable. It can only be used during a nomination. A VH must state in his/her ballot that he/she is using his/her immunity. Immunity can only be used before Big Four.

1st Nomination will begin on Friday

Each Virtual Housemate is given 3 points: +2 evicting points and -1 saving point.

The total of evicting points received by a VH shall be subtracted by the accumulated saving points he/she received. No VH can assign his/her points to his/herself or assign his/her 3 points to one VH. The VH with the highest net points shall be evicted.

[TEP + (TPP)] - [TSP + (TRP + TBP)] = NP

TEP = total evicting points
TPP = total penalty points
TRP, TBP = total reward points, total bonus points
NP = net points

Each VH must submit his/her ballot with explanation why he/she voted against and for a particular VH. He/she must provide his/her codename. Choosing nominees through lottery is prohibited.

Nomination runs from Friday (12:01am) until Saturday (11:59pm). VHs who failed to nominate before the deadline shall automatically receive 5 - point "to evict" votes from BB Kuya. The announcement of the results of the nomination (Eviction) is on Sunday 6PM.

Rex blogs: Tagged!... Again

Been tagged by Charlene! So now I have to share 6 weird things about me. Actually, matagal ko nang nababasa sa mga blogs tong chain na to eh, nagtataka nga ako bakit ngayon lang ako na-tag, haha! =p

1. I'm a geography freak. I actually find fulfillment in memorizing world capitals and knowing the right pronunciation of cities and countries. Haha! When I was a child, the volumes of letter F, W and U are always missing in the cabinet of our 1975 World Book Encyclopedia set – F as in flags, W for world and U for United Nations. One summer dahil wala akong magawa, I read the articles of each country in the encyclopedia volumes in alphabetical order, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Grabe, it’s actually my idea of fun, haha! Plus, it actually amazes me when I look at maps. Ewan ko, I'm able to imagine things more than what the map shows, hehe.

2. I maintain an Excel file of my expenses. I always get the bewildered and amused look when friends see me accounting my daily expenses on my laptop. As in ultimo pinang-paphotocopy ko na worth P1.25 ay nakalista. In my ‘book’ (that’s what they call tables of expenses in accounting, diba?) is divided into weekly expenses, weekly savings, monthly savings and others. Why do I do it? Para alam ko kung kailang ko na bang mag-skip ng lunch dahil kailangan ko nang magtipid dahil malapit nang maubos ang pera ko for the week, haha! I get my allowance on a monthly basis eh, so I have to check how much I spend the practically all the time, if I don’t want to run out of money before the next remittance from my parents.

3. I have the gift for making people tell. Haha! Kaya ang tawag sa akin ­­– Chismis King, hehe! It’s not like I approach people and say, “hoy, ano na ba ang latest!”. More often than not, people approach me themselves to share sensitive stuff. A lot of times, I'm not even involved in the issue. Minsan naman, kung may gusto talaga ako malaman, madalas napipilit ko yung tao, hehe. I'm not aware of this curse/gift until a friend pointed it out when I asked if it’s my fault that I know a lot of stuff about a lot of people (kasi kung minsan, hindi ko naman ginusto na malaman ang ilang mga bagay). She said that I have this aura that one can tell me anything. Parang nang-hihypnotize daw ako na ‘come on, tell me!’ Haha!

4. I remember people’s clothes. Matandain akong tao, though minsan ay mga useless information lang naman tulad ng kung anong suot ng isang tao sa isang okasyon. Haha! Usually, on significant occasions or events, natatandaan ko kung anong suot ng mga friends ko. But I'm not the type who intentionally memorizes the wardrobe of the people around me. Ewan ko ba, basta unconsciously, I am able to recall what people wear. Kahit sa sarili kong damit, marami akong naaalalang pangyayari. For example, I still know the shirt, pants and shoes I was wearing when I was dumped by ****. That’s why whenever I wear that shirt, I feel the sort of negative nostalgia about the shirt. Hehe. =p

5. Hindi ako nagpapatis or nagtotoyo. Hindi naman sa maarte ako or what ha. Pero sa mga ulam na usually patis or toyo ang perfect na ka-partner, iodized salt ang gamit ko. Haha! Allergic kasi ako sa patis, nag-dadry at nangangati ang lips ko. Hindi naman ako allergic sa toyo, pero hindi ko lang talaga nakagisnan na gumamit nito. Sobrang rare lang ako mag-toyo – kapag ang ulam ay inihaw na bangus. Napipilitan din ako mag-toyo kung walang barbecue sauce at barbecue ang ulam. And another thing, I prefer Worcestershire sauce than soy sauce. O diba, sersyal! Haha!

6. I watch movies alone. Alam kong nasa About Me sa left sidebar ko na ito, so eexplain ko na lang. So yun nga, I am able to watch movies alone. Hindi ako yung tipo ng tao na malulungkot manood ng sine na mag-isa. Minsan nga, mas okay yun eh. Basta may pera ako and I feel this sudden urge to watch a certain movie, manonood ako kahit wala akong mayaya na kasama.

Cathe blogs: Missing some one

Damn. many things really change in just a short span of time. how could things morph so quickly? we just saw each other 2 months ago and look, he has changed. everything about him changed. or am i that blind to see that?

I never expected after what happened to us in the past, things would end up like us being two known but unknown teens. i thought we'd still be friends because we constantly chat in the internet last summer.

How could he change? is it because i changed too? is it because we're too far away? is it because we often talk and barely see each other?

I miss him. i miss the old him. i miss my best friend. i miss christian.

Ann blogs: Thoughts with co-VHs

PBB is actually something that comes unexpectedly but somehow opens the doors to meeting new people. i would say that during the past days count, i have known only one particular person and i would have voted him as my most favorite co-VH if not been late. it's Benj. if my co-Vhs will only talk to him, they will know how sensible of a person Benj is. Your inspirational speech moved me and made me think..

Then, Charles..Honestly, I was amused with his blogs na pagkarami-rami.. Hindi sya naubusan ng salita.

Jamila, she's the nicest of all. Thanks for appreciating my friendly moves. Actually, the reason why I conceded to BBK's invitation to join the PBBFG Season 3 was really to make new friends. So far, it has been working.

I look forward to accomplishing the task with Ron.

I have many other thoughts but just want to keep it to myself. I just dropped by to see what i have already missed out.

By the way, I also look forward to having chat with Neil, the Season 1 winner. I got a message from him and also looking foward to it.

Ann blogs: Last week has been a sad week for me

Why? last week has been a sad week for me. my lola left us at age 90. it made us sad but somehow made us feel alright coz she would have to rest na with my dad. i can still remember the last time of our kuwento. although she has alzheimer's, i am one of the apos na kilala nya. she used to call me aan, and we used to have short chats. two weeks ago, she had already had some convulsion but decided not to leave yet to let my cousin's wedding passed. finally, she gave up na rin... she's still with us, will be interred this saturday.

*Our condolences to Ann and her family

Charles blogs: Three for the day

Note: This blogpost will cover three days that I have not blogged. Wala lang, pa-importante lang…

Day 1: (June 19, 2005, Monday)

Monday was a tiring day!

First, I went to Paranaque Central Elementary School for the approval of Dr. Eduardo Lopez, the Division Superintendent of Paranaque City. I waited, for like, 4 hours just to get his approval! What the heck! Pwede namang pirmahan nalang yun kasi may Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) ang PNU at DepEd.

After they approved the letter, I went to PNU Manila, and it was so traffic! I still waited 2 hour so that I can get the Letter of Endorsement from the Department of Student Teaching, because they are having a "major" meeting! Can't they postpone their meeting for my "major" breakdown!

Hoping that the next days to come may not be that too tiring!

Day 2: (June 20, 2005, Tuesday)

Last tuesday was our first entry at Parañaque National High School (PNHS), and God blessed us that the Assistant Principal Dr. De Leon had approved our request after much delaying tactics from the Office of the Division Superintendent of City Schools. We also met our Department Head and our Cooperating Teacher (CT), and luckily, my CT, Mrs. Ailene Eclarinal, is so kind, she actually gave me advices in handling her classes, and she also gave me a copy of her DLC and Lesson Plan Book.

Well, that's just what happend last Tuesday. And by the way, we also travelled the whole school, and its big, considering its a public school, and each classroom has its own water dispenser!

Day 3: (June 21, 2006, Wednesday)

Today was my first observation day at Mrs. Eclarinal's class, and I saw that not all classrooms are bad looking, some even have their own curtains. Although most of the class that I entered has a class of more than 65, and there's not much space to walk, but the classroom setting is conducive for a student-teacher learning experience.

Ms. E (as I call Mrs. Eclarinal) actually is a very good teacher, she handles 7 classes everyday, 4 straight and 3 after break, every 2 classes, she transfers from building to building, 4th floor to 4th floor, and that's tough! Not just that, she carries her bag, class recors, lesson plan, 2 big World and Philippine maps, her visual aids and a bottle of C2.

Her class schedule, which is also mine is as follows: (just for your perusal)

6:00 - 6:55 I-5 Philippine History
6:55 - 7:50 I-6 Philippine History
7:50 - 8:45 III-1 World History
8:45 - 9:40 II-2 World History
9:40 - 10:00 Break
10:00 - 10:55 I-3 Philippine History
10:55 - 11:50 I-4 Philippine History
11:50 - 12:45 III-3 World History

By the Way, starting Monday, I will be starting the actual teaching on those classes, keep your fingers cross…

Parang nanalo sa isang malaking eleksyon -Charles

Natutuwa talaga ako sa naging resulta ng Activity 1, yung surveys, di ko inaasahan na isa ako sa friendliest VH, strongest personality at most likely to win the game. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng bumoto at sa lahat ng nagtiwala sa akin! (parang nanalo sa isang malaking eleksyon, noh?!?)

Pero seriously, di ko ini-expect na maboboto ako, kahit sa isang category, kakaunti palang naman ang nakausap ko sa mga co-VH ko, pero I'm making all my efforts to contact them at makausap sila... hehehe... salamat talaga sa inyong lahat!

Bonus Poll

Visitors of the blog get a chance to choose a VH who they think is the most deserving to stay longer inside the virtual house. The VH with the highest votes in the Bonus Poll gets -2 points bonus which shall be deducted from the net points he/she received during the Nomination. The poll runs from Wednesday 3PM until Sunday 6PM.

1st Nomination runs from Friday (12:01am) until Sunday (11:59pm). The announcement of the results of the nomination (Eviction) is on Sunday 6PM or the cut-off time of the Bonus Poll.

Benj blogs: Jhed's tag

Name ten (10) of life's simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick ten (10) people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1. Tool - The best band in the world. Calling them merely a band actually makes me feel guilty.

2. Dallas Mavericks - I've been following them since they beat my old (and first) NBA Team - the Utah Jazz. Yeah, I know they lost. Don't start.

3. Sleeping - I love to sleep. I can sleep for 16 hours straight.

4. Meat - Red meat to be exact. I don't eat veggies.

5. Discovery Channel - I enjoy watching anything informative as long as it's not just a boring old nature show. Discov shows that aim to extrapolate the future are always nice.

6. Basketball - I love to watch, but nothing beats playing. I know I don't look like the prototypical player, but you'll be surprised. come watch me play.

7. Songwriting - Nothing's quite similar to bringing an abstract thought in your mind and making it manifest in the real world as music. casual music fans who go about hee-hawing on who's more popular, sells more records etc. are too idiotic to realize that.

8. Talking - I can talk about anything - ok, make that just about anything.

9. Not drinking and NOT smoking - I take pride in the fact that I neither drink nor smoke.

10. Logic - It's one of the easiest things to apply, yet 99% of people don't know how it works.

Emjheiy blogs: 2nd Life harhar!!

Last sunday, after magsimba punta kami sa isang private pool that we rent for a water baptism and syempre swimming narin. ...and muntik na ako malunod! dinala ako ng mga friends ko sa malalim na part ng pool mga 6ft, hindi pa naman ako marunong mag-swimming wakekeke kakahiya! ...

Nice resort, great foods: pansit, bbq, lechon, adobo, and many more. we also play different kind of tricks sa pool, even nanonood lang ako because i dont know how to swim wakekeke kakahiya! Kakakinngit kasi my friends Rizzie, Lea, Jen and Anne do different kind of exhibition, even my friend Kristy na hindi marunong mag-swim ay natuto- ako lang yata ang hindi pa. Tapos dinala nila ako sa malalim na part ng pool mga 6ft and lalim so nakainom ako ng tubig *sad* nakainon ako kahit nakakapit ako sa kanila hahaha pero ok lang yun, it doesnt mean na hindi na ako magsswimming ulit. Kelan ba next outing? harharhar

Arrrrgggghhhhh..... -Ron

I just hope something more exciting is ahead of us. I'm getting bored of this game, to be honest with you. Arrrrgggghhhhh..... :(

Macky blogs: The girl in my ticker..

Its been 4 weeks now since i last held her in my arms, since i last touched her face . since i last kissed her lips..4 short weeks that felt like 4 long years and my situation is exacerbated thanks to my brother who is always getting into my hair (an expert in speaking gibberish ha ha). in fact im now a certified space cadet and couch potato because of this.. ha ha ha...guess im not that invincible after all like what most of my friends think.

This feeling really makes me more edgy everytime i feel it because this type of emotion proves how vulnerable i am..... it proves that it's likely for me to have a screw loose without my jas.....but on the brighter side this feeling convinced me that i already found the girl whom im gonna spend my whole life with

Jas will alway be in my ticker not because of the fact that she always pull an all-nighter to edit my term papers and reports nor because she can play shoot hoop with me..but i love her because she's always there for me and i am sure that there's no need for me to prove it because my love for her has always been cut and dry from the beginning!!!!!

this time i will make it sure that our relationship will not go haywire....and this i promise not only to myself but also to all my shoot hoop hommies....

Cathe blogs: Singers?! ows.

Rej and i recorded a song for ms. rejuso. when we heard it, we sounded like teens singing for a kid's show. how hilarious. john-c, therese, christian, pete and nico were making fun of us. argh.

Oh well, im really becoming busy with school. some things really come back. :p and worse, it's really doubled. sophie life is double the tests, activities, projects, tests but negative double the fun. lol.

Got 2 tests tomorrow and we'll have PE. lol. :p it makes my body ache much.

Today has been a day and everyday has lessons. what i learned today is that simple things can make great things. greater than what you really wanted. :D

Tcare guys. later. :p

Kashen blogs: tHaNk God, i found this GUY...!!

Jamila blogs: Surviving Pinoy Big Brother Fantasy Game

Yes! I have survived the first part of the Piny Big Brother Fantasy Game Season 3. I wish I could hold on till the end. All I have to do is keep on updating my blogs, special tasks and all activities. As a thought on these things to be accomplished, Im very grateful to bbk because I have become one of the virtual housemates. Just like the real game, we have pressures of doing the tasks and the activities before bbk's deadline.

DAY SIXTEEN
Ron blogs: So yesterday…

"At least not today, not today, not today
'cause…If it's over, let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown awayLaugh it off let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay"

A helluva song for someone who had failed but his time to move on has finally come.. That person I'm referring to is none other than me.. After long days of consideration, I have made up my mind and now's the time for me to bid this job goodbye.

I got twisted, preoccupied and thrown off while on the process of considering NOT to leave the company I'm in now. But I have enough reasons to resign now. And one of them is my most favorite subject of discourse in my blogs… CRAPPY MANAGEMENT! You know what I'm talking, don't you?

Well besides that…I would also carry on my studies and somehow get more equipped for my next job! And speaking of my next job, I deem to apply in Manila.

Arrrrgggghhh, it would really take a lot of potholes down the road to success! Wish me good luck!

Cathe blogs: failure

Hey there. just a quick post. i want to share to all of you something i got from mikee lee's blog. enjoy. :)

But why do we fail?

People fail because they do not plan well; they end up losing precious time and before they know it, they're dead.
People fail because they give up.
People fail because they are afraid.
People fail because they do not have the right mindset while trying to achieve their dreams.
People fail because they are distracted.
People fail because they cannot distinguish which piece is which.
People fail because they work for something detrimental to everyone, and therefore they do not feel good working for it, because humans are essentially good.
People fail because they look up to the wrong people (we become the people really look up to).
People fail because they they take a road too often trod on that they feel that they are doing nothing new.
People fail because they end up feeling tired.
People fail because they do not know what to do at certain situations.
People fail because despite all the encouragement, the philosophies, the wisdom, the strength, the bravery, they still choose the wrong way to solve one puzzle.


hope you guys will learn something from that. it taught me great things. :) TTFN!

Daryll blogs: A happy day

Activity 2 - Johari's Window

1. VHs have to visit http://kevan.org/johari
2. Pick the five or six words from the list that you feel best describe them
3. Enter their name - "VH(yourname)" (e.g. VHBBK)
4. Click save button
5. Ask at least 50 of your friends and colleagues (or your friends in Friendster) to say which words they associate with them. VHs can do this by directing their friends to their Johari's window URL/link
6. VHs have to send BBK their Johari's window URL/link

Benj on ST: I've seen it done before

It's really frustrating to have not seen the purpose of last week's activity - especially since I've seen it done before. dammit.

Now im in danger of getting evicted.

Oh well, im to blame.

Dont worry, ill still try my best to hang on and stay in the game.

The Maverick of Manila is one of the VHs who failed to complete his Special Task. Although he submitted his incomplete list of interesting facts about Ann, he got +1 penalty point.

DAY FIFTEEN
Cathe blogs: Confession

Have you ever felt before na you really have the urge to blog? you want to spill things out whether it's good or bad? well, im feeling it right now.

I was studying kanina for 2-3 hours. thinking of the things that might come out in some of the tests tomorrow at school. oh well. and stuffs came popping out of my mind. maybe because the subject world history means something to me.

I have been saying to myself kanina pa na i have been lying to myself all this time. do you know how it feels na you want to prove yourself to others but the more you do it, the more you feel inferior? have you felt that no matter how hard you try to give your best, it's still not enough for others. yung parang, wala na akong kayang gawin kasi yung mga alam kong gawin, may ibang kayang makahigit sakin so you tend to replicate others and lose your true self?

And instead of learning to love yourself and love the world, you'll learn the hard way.

I hate being on the losing end. im so lost. im so alone. i dont know myself anymore.

Rex blogs: My Personal Idol =p

It’s your daddy’s turn to receive his yearly honors today! Hehe! Since I featured a song for my Mother’s Day post for Mama, I figured I should do the same for Papa. I would use Dance With My Father Again since I love the song anyway. Pero napag-isip-isip ko, buhay pa ang ama ko, hehe. So I've decided to just skip the chorus. Hehe.. =p

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then

Pa, I did some Math and I realized that we've only been physically together for only about 2 years and 11 months. That’s roughly about only 10% of my life. Geesh, that sucks, huh? We must admit, you weren’t there during the important milestones in my life. In fact, I barely have any childhood memories with you. Pero oops, bago mo isipin na ito ay isang sulat nang panunumbat, I want you to know that I will never ever hold it against you for being away most of our lives. NEVER. =) It’s because you chose a better life for all of us. At iyon ang isang bagay na habambuhay kong tatanawin ng utang na loob sa iyo. =p That’s why I love movies like Anak and Dubai. I release litres of tears when I watch them, hehe. Because I remember you. I remember your great sacrifices. I remember your own brand of heroism. I remember your love.

Have I ever told you that you’re actually my idol? Oh so ngayon, nasabi ko na, hehe. You’re good at almost anything! The only thing that I can beat you at yata is English, hehe. I was never the jack-of-all-trades that you are. I actually suck at the things you most excelled at – electronic and mechanical stuff. Well, syempre, naturally, given the age gap, I'm better with computers. Haha!

One of the things I managed to inherit from you is your principled demeanor. You are one of the most passionate people I know when it comes to their beliefs. You're a good person Dad, you really are. And that’s what I love the most about you and Mama. It’s what I always try to emulate from you. I turned up the way I am because of the way you brought me up. You’re like my own version of Jonathan Kent.

Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

Sometimes, I wonder how you do it – to be our father, 7300 km away. Mahirap yun ah. Yun iba nga, kahit kasama na nila mga anak nila, nahihirapan pa, iyun pa kayang tulad mo na malayo. You do it so well, it actually scares me if I’d be able to do the same when I'm a daddy myself. You're the pillar of our family. Without you, the whole structure would crumble.

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Anyway, on a lighter note, why do fathers tend to be the spoilers? Hehe, wala lang. I just remember the times whenever I ask things from you. You almost always give them eh. Pero syempre, laging andun yung linya mo na, “Sige, sabihin mo sa nanay mo..” Haha! Kasi nakay Mama yung pera, hehe. One of the best suprises you ever gave me was the very laptop from which I'm typing this piece from. I could still remember that night very clearly. It was during your regular overseas calls to check up on me when I sweet-talked to you for a laptop. Ginawa ko yun nang hindi nag-eexpect. Sabi mo pa nga, “Sige, titingnan ko this week, kung kasya sa budget.” I actually forgot about my laptop request after the call. Imagine my utmost surprise when you call 4 hours later telling me you just bought me my laptop! I was like, “HUWAT?!” Haha! Not counting the fact that this laptop is the most expensive single material you gave me, the surprise that accompanied it was indeed one of the sweetest. Wala lang, alam ko kasi na hindi ka naman namumulot ng pera diyan sa Bahrain, kaya nagulat talaga ako na walang anu-ano’y bumili ka kaagad. Ni hindi mo man lang tinanong ang mga gusto kong specs! Haha! But in fairness, even if you weren’t that much of a computer literate, astig ang nabili mo sa para akin!

So, like my message to Mama a month ago, I would like to say sorry for being such a disappointment just recently. For the many times I cried during my sorry state, most of it I cried not because I was pathetic and helpless, but because I disappointed YOU. If you only knew, how bothered I was when I got the long overseas sermon from you. Madalang mo lang kasi akong kagalitan, and when you do, I know it’s one of those times when I really did something wrong. But despite that, I deeply appreciate the unwaivering support you had for me. Astig nga eh, one moment, you were so disappiontingly mad, the next moment you sounded so sympathetically supportive. Haha! Thank you so much for not giving up on me.

You seldom offer me advice on anything, given our physical set-up. Mama would always be your representative. But on the rare times you do, your wisdom is so priceless. At least I know where I got my I-know-the-right-things-to-say genes.

I know we were never given a chance to celebrate Father’s Day together. But heck, we know that distance has never been an issue in our family. Hehe! We manage to send our love all the way to and from the ricefields of Pampanga and the sand dunes of Bahrain. Happy Father’s Day, Orland Manalo Dizon! =p Actually ito lang naman point ng post ko. Pinahaba ko lang na naman. Hehe.. =p

Passionate Guy of Ilocos/California celebrates his B-Day

Happy birthday Macky!

People are different -Charles

Napakahirap ng ST1 napinagawa ni BBK, Ive managed to pass, but I have only passed 34 facts about Cathe. I am expecting to have a penalty for an incomplete task, and meron nga! huhuhu...

What Ive learned in doing this task is that people are different, in every way no matter there are similarities you may find between you and other.
