Sorry. I can’t think of a good title for this post. My brain is already drained from all the activities in school.
To start my story, we had our PE 101 class this morning. The topic was all about First Aid. The teacher asked us to share some incident of us getting injured. Since I never really had major injuries, I didn’t share anything to the class so I just listened to my fellow classmates who had. As I was paying attention, I couldn’t stand some of their stories because they were so disgusting! I felt like my stomach was twisting while hearing those sickening experiences they had. There was one student who shared to the class that her eyeball was scratched by someone who had a long nail and it was so excruciating! Another one said that she had an open wound and her muscle tissues were exposed! Those are just few from what I heard, and I can’t really stand those kinds of stories because I’m not used to.
I felt comforted when the period was over.
Our next subject was Algebra. It’s my favorite math! Last meeting, the professor gave us an assignment and I abruptly finished it when I arrived home, for I know very well how to solve the problem. But before we enter the class this morning, my friends asked me to help them finish their own assignments for they have no idea how to solve the givens. Instead of revealing my own work to them, I helped them by tutoring my classmates. I made sure that they comprehend what I was teaching splendidly so they won’t ask me again next time. And eventually, they knew how to answer the assignment. I felt so proud because most of them counted on me.
Also today, I have a runny nose. I always bring my own handkerchief with me everyday wherever I go. And I knew I won’t be having trouble searching for tissues to wipe my nose. It just so happen that I lost my handkerchief when I badly needed it and I don’t know what to do. The class is ongoing and I can’t excuse myself that’s why I have no choice but to sneeze it in my hand! Gross! But don’t worry I washed my hands as soon as the class was over. LOL! It was my first time in history that I lost my handkerchief. It was so depressing.
After the last class, I proceeded to where the PEP SQUAD held the meeting. It took an hour before we were dismissed. Then it was time to go home.
While walking with a friend going to the Jeepney terminal it suddenly rained so strong! Alas! Fortunately, I also bring a small umbrella with me everyday wherever I go. So we stopped in a corner to wait for the rain to be gone. While waiting, we saw a street vendor selling fish balls. We decided to buy some. It was a long time ago when I last bought some because I am taught by my parents not to buy that kind of food for health reasons. But it was really yummy to chew and eat it.
When the rain finally stopped, my friend and I proceeded walking. We suddenly felt thirsty along the way so we searched for another vendor who sells gulaman (a unique Filipino beverage).
Unfortunately, we couldn’t see any. Instead, we spotted another vendor who sells palitaw (a small, flat, sweet rice cake eaten in the Philippines. They are made from sticky rice, washed, soaked, and then ground. Scoops of the batter are dropped into boiling water where they float to the surface as flat discs - an indication that they're done. When served, the flat discs are dipped in grated coconut, and presented with a separate dip made of sugar and toasted sesame seeds.)
And finally, before we have our ride going home, we saw a small stall that sells gulaman. At last, we were rejuvenated from our dehydration!
It was 6pm when we reached the jeepney terminal. And because it was a rush hour we couldn’t find a jeepney with a right route going home. And when we found one, many other people needed it too, so we all hurried to step inside the vehicle for us to have a place to seat. And do you know what’s thrilling about that? We always experience stampede at the entrance of the jeepney because we all wanted to go home as soon as possible. My friend and I are always lucky because we are small and it is easy for us to push people and squeeze ourselves inside. And tadah! We have a place to seat!
It was a very fun day. My friend and I really enjoyed the simple lifestyle of a Filipino!
Phew, I still have classes tomorrow at 10:30am so I am greeting you all good night!
Muwah!

Friday is for McDonald's and celebration Day!
My class starts at 10:30am every Friday. Since my school was having a mass at 7:30 am for celebrating Holy Spirit that day, I was not required to attend. I just followed my regular schedule. Our first class is Sociology and the professor asked us (blockmates) to go to the library and read other preferences for sociology and list them down at the course outline that was given to us at our first meeting. And so we did. When that period was over, Theology was our next class.
The time for our second subject is from 12:00pm to 1:30pm. Since 15 minutes passed already and our professor for that subject wasn’t there yet we decided to have a free cut. It so happened that it was one of my blockmates’ birthday so we all went to McDonald’s for lunch and to celebrate her special occasion.
Actually, our break should start at 1:30pm up to 3:00pm. But we happened to have 3 hours of break for that day. We all had fun and kept laughing the whole time with those stories we share to the whole group.
When it was time for our third and last class, Filipino, we all settled for the next professor to come. After waiting again for 15 minutes, there was no sign of her so we all jumped off from our seats and started packing up our things and some of them went home early, happy that we really didn’t have any class discussion that day.
Since I still have to attend the second screening for the pep squad try- out I stayed at school until 8pm. I did my best and everything to be a member of that team.
After the screening, I immediately went home because it’s already dark and I don’t want bad things to happen to me. I arrived home at 9:30 pm and was praying to receive a message from the squad that I did pass the try-out.
While having a dinner alone (cuz my family already had earlier), my phone beeped and I started to feel nervous. When the name appeared it was just my classmate sending a forward message and I felt disappointed. I continued spooning more food. My phone beeped again for the second time and I felt nervous again, when I saw who was the sender I started screaming and my heart started to beat fast. When I read the message, the pep squad was congratulating me being an official member of their team! I jumped around because of the overflowing joy I felt that instance when I received that message!
I felt so relieved and thankful to God that one of my dreams came true!
Now I can be seen on national television when we’ll compete!

The Jeepney Journey
Have you ever sat beside a passenger who’s also a student and doing his/her assignment while you’re on your way to your destinations? Have you experienced a girl’s hair brushed against you because she didn’t pony tailed it, and worse when the gush of the wind is strong? Have you tried sleeping inside the jeepney or sitting beside a carpenter who is snoring? Have you passed a passenger’s fare to the driver or the conductor or vice versa when he/she has a change? And most of all, have you been with different people, with different attitudes and statuses in life in one transportation for at least an hour inside a JEEPNEY?
Me, I did. And I do experience these things everyday whenever I go to school and going back at home.
There are other options in choosing public transportations for a ride to your destination. You can ride on a bus or an FX and they are more convenient because you get to sit well and they are well air conditioned. But the fares are not as cheap as the fare in a jeepney. But for me I prefer riding it because I can save more from my allowance, but it doesn’t mean I am poor and I can’t afford the fare of the other public transportations. Anyone can ride a jeepney, even the richest person in the world can, maybe because I have my own reasons that I couldn’t explain well to you. All I know is when you’re inside that vehicle; passengers are seated facing each other while traveling. And while you’re on your journey you get to notice something, and it can turn out to something you can share in this blog.

I will never forget June 9, 2011
It was supposed to be the 2nd day of classes in college. I don’t have a dorm so I just commute back and forth to school and home. It was even raining that day, but since it was not signal #3, college students still have to attend classes.
I was inside a public vehicle, jeepney to be exact, going to school. I was almost there when my course mate sent me a text message telling me that the classes were suspended. Geez! Few kilometers and I were there! I freaked out! Imagine, you woke up so early to catch the 7:30 am class, you already traveled almost an hour and spent money for transportations then you’ll receive something that would disappoint you. I sighed. I have no choice but to go back home and spend another fee for my transportation.
It was not a good day after all

I have no choice but to go back home and spend another fee for my transportation.
It was not a good day after all
Officially back!
At last! I finally had the time to open my blog and post something new. It’s been 3 weeks (I guess?) that this was in silent. The last time I blogged here was when I received my certificate from a baking class and reminding you how many more days before my birthday.
4 days before my birthday, people inside the house were so busy preparing everything for the party, from the house, the foods, drinks and etc. It was even raining so hard that time and I was already feeling something not so good about it. We even received frequent brown- out due to the heavy rains pouring. When it was already the day of my birthday, I was expecting many visitors to come because many said they will attend my birthday party. Then, I was disappointed. Few only came because of the stupid weather! I knew this was happening! I was really annoyed because the people who I was expecting the most didn’t come. And honestly, I was so sad and told myself that it was the worst party ever! But good thing I looked at the bright side, Janred came, and he is one of the important people in my life, my girlfriends also remembered me, and so as the guy I’ve been crushing for a long time, eventually, I find calmness in my sorrowing heart.
After the birthday party and everything that happened, I cleaned the whole house again, washed piles of plates and arranged the furniture. Now it was the time to prepare everything for my new school.
Another disappointment came to my life when I wasn’t able to qualify to enroll in my dream school, ADMU, when I received an e-mail from their office. I started holding back tears because my cousin and my mom were around and I don’t want them to see me crying. What happened to my birthday and the news I received made me so down! A failure! I felt like my life was in ruin. I have no other choice but to enter MIRIAM COLLEGE, an exclusive school for girls. I never wanted to enroll there but I have no choice and the deadline of requirements needed was near. If I didn’t abruptly make a move, they might not accept me and not be able to enter any school at all. So, I guess, that is where I really belong. I have no other choice but to accept the outcome of my life.
After I successfully passed all the needed requirements, I was now enrolled in that school. I wasn’t feeling so happy at all. I started attending psychological exam and orientations from those said schedules. And you know what sucks? My dream school is just beside my present school and every time I’ll pass by I can feel that I am so hurt, I even question myself, “Am I really an imbecile?”
I’m trying to move on by searching things what my present school has that my dream school doesn’t have. But whatever I see around the campus, still ADMU is far better.
I guess I just started loving my present school when I listened to the last orientation that they held last June 7. It was convincing, and little, I’m starting to be proud that I am now a MARYKNOLLER. They even prepared different presentations from different clubs and organizations they have and they really amused me.
The following day, June 8, was my first day in school and my first time to be in college. I felt just fine traveling there and meeting my blockmates and making new set of friends. And until present I’m gaining more academically and socially.

Sorry. I can’t think of a good title for this post. My brain is already drained from all the activities in school.

Since I never really had major injuries, I didn’t share anything to the class so I just listened to my fellow classmates who had. As I was paying attention, I couldn’t stand some of their stories because they were so disgusting! I felt like my stomach was twisting while hearing those sickening experiences they had. There was one student who shared to the class that her eyeball was scratched by someone who had a long nail and it was so excruciating! Another one said that she had an open wound and her muscle tissues were exposed! Those are just few from what I heard, and I can’t really stand those kinds of stories because I’m not used to.
I felt comforted when the period was over.
Our next subject was Algebra. It’s my favorite math! Last meeting, the professor gave us an assignment and I abruptly finished it when I arrived home, for I know very well how to solve the problem. But before we enter the class this morning, my friends asked me to help them finish their own assignments for they have no idea how to solve the givens. Instead of revealing my own work to them, I helped them by tutoring my classmates. I made sure that they comprehend what I was teaching splendidly so they won’t ask me again next time. And eventually, they knew how to answer the assignment. I felt so proud because most of them counted on me.
Also today, I have a runny nose. I always bring my own handkerchief with me everyday wherever I go. And I knew I won’t be having trouble searching for tissues to wipe my nose. It just so happen that I lost my handkerchief when I badly needed it and I don’t know what to do. The class is ongoing and I can’t excuse myself that’s why I have no choice but to sneeze it in my hand! Gross! But don’t worry I washed my hands as soon as the class was over. LOL! It was my first time in history that I lost my handkerchief. It was so depressing.
After the last class, I proceeded to where the PEP SQUAD held the meeting. It took an hour before we were dismissed. Then it was time to go home.
While walking with a friend going to the Jeepney terminal it suddenly rained so strong! Alas! Fortunately, I also bring a small umbrella with me everyday wherever I go. So we stopped in a corner to wait for the rain to be gone. While waiting, we saw a street vendor selling fish balls. We decided to buy some. It was a long time ago when I last bought some because I am taught by my parents not to buy that kind of food for health reasons. But it was really yummy to chew and eat it.
When the rain finally stopped, my friend and I proceeded walking. We suddenly felt thirsty along the way so we searched for another vendor who sells gulaman (a unique Filipino beverage).
Unfortunately, we couldn’t see any. Instead, we spotted another vendor who sells palitaw (a small, flat, sweet rice cake eaten in the Philippines. They are made from sticky rice, washed, soaked, and then ground. Scoops of the batter are dropped into boiling water where they float to the surface as flat discs - an indication that they're done. When served, the flat discs are dipped in grated coconut, and presented with a separate dip made of sugar and toasted sesame seeds.)
And finally, before we have our ride going home, we saw a small stall that sells gulaman. At last, we were rejuvenated from our dehydration!
It was 6pm when we reached the jeepney terminal. And because it was a rush hour we couldn’t find a jeepney with a right route going home. And when we found one, many other people needed it too, so we all hurried to step inside the vehicle for us to have a place to seat. And do you know what’s thrilling about that?

The time for our second subject is from 12:00pm to 1:30pm. Since 15 minutes passed already and our professor for that subject wasn’t there yet we decided to have a free cut. It so happened that it was one of my blockmates’ birthday so we all went to McDonald’s for lunch and to celebrate her special occasion.
Actually, our break should start at 1:30pm up to 3:00pm. But we happened to have 3 hours of break for that day. We all had fun and kept laughing the whole time with those stories we share to the whole group.
When it was time for our third and last class, Filipino, we all settled for the next professor to come. After waiting again for 15 minutes, there was no sign of her so we all jumped off from our seats and started packing up our things and some of them went home early, happy that we really didn’t have any class discussion that day.
Since I still have to attend the second screening for the pep squad try- out I stayed at school until 8pm. I did my best and everything to be a member of that team.
After the screening, I immediately went home because it’s already dark and I don’t want bad things to happen to me. I arrived home at 9:30 pm and was praying to receive a message from the squad that I did pass the try-out.
While having a dinner alone (cuz my family already had earlier), my phone beeped and I started to feel nervous. When the name appeared it was just my classmate sending a forward message and I felt disappointed. I continued spooning more food. My phone beeped again for the second time and I felt nervous again, when I saw who was the sender I started screaming and my heart started to beat fast. When I read the message, the pep squad was congratulating me being an official member of their team! I jumped around because of the overflowing joy I felt that instance when I received that message!
I felt so relieved and thankful to God that one of my dreams came true!

The Jeepney Journey
Have you ever sat beside a passenger who’s also a student and doing his/her assignment while you’re on your way to your destinations? Have you experienced a girl’s hair brushed against you because she didn’t pony tailed it, and worse when the gush of the wind is strong? Have you tried sleeping inside the jeepney or sitting beside a carpenter who is snoring? Have you passed a passenger’s fare to the driver or the conductor or vice versa when he/she has a change? And most of all, have you been with different people, with different attitudes and statuses in life in one transportation for at least an hour inside a JEEPNEY?
Me, I did. And I do experience these things everyday whenever I go to school and going back at home.
There are other options in choosing public transportations for a ride to your destination. You can ride on a bus or an FX and they are more convenient because you get to sit well and they are well air conditioned. But the fares are not as cheap as the fare in a jeepney. But for me I prefer riding it because I can save more from my allowance, but it doesn’t mean I am poor and I can’t afford the fare of the other public transportations. Anyone can ride a jeepney, even the richest person in the world can, maybe because I have my own reasons that I couldn’t explain well to you. All I know is when you’re inside that vehicle; passengers are seated facing each other while traveling. And while you’re on your journey you get to notice something, and it can turn out to something you can share in this blog.
I will never forget June 9, 2011
It was supposed to be the 2nd day of classes in college. I don’t have a dorm so I just commute back and forth to school and home. It was even raining that day, but since it was not signal #3, college students still have to attend classes.
I was inside a public vehicle, jeepney to be exact, going to school. I was almost there when my course mate sent me a text message telling me that the classes were suspended. Geez! Few kilometers and I were there! I freaked out! Imagine, you woke up so early to catch the 7:30 am class, you already traveled almost an hour and spent money for transportations then you’ll receive something that would disappoint you. I sighed. I have no choice but to go back home and spend another fee for my transportation.
It was not a good day after all

Officially back!
At last! I finally had the time to open my blog and post something new. It’s been 3 weeks (I guess?) that this was in silent. The last time I blogged here was when I received my certificate from a baking class and reminding you how many more days before my birthday.
4 days before my birthday, people inside the house were so busy preparing everything for the party, from the house, the foods, drinks and etc. It was even raining so hard that time and I was already feeling something not so good about it. We even received frequent brown- out due to the heavy rains pouring. When it was already the day of my birthday, I was expecting many visitors to come because many said they will attend my birthday party. Then, I was disappointed. Few only came because of the stupid weather! I knew this was happening! I was really annoyed because the people who I was expecting the most didn’t come. And honestly, I was so sad and told myself that it was the worst party ever! But good thing I looked at the bright side, Janred came, and he is one of the important people in my life, my girlfriends also remembered me, and so as the guy I’ve been crushing for a long time, eventually, I find calmness in my sorrowing heart.
After the birthday party and everything that happened, I cleaned the whole house again, washed piles of plates and arranged the furniture. Now it was the time to prepare everything for my new school.
Another disappointment came to my life when I wasn’t able to qualify to enroll in my dream school, ADMU, when I received an e-mail from their office. I started holding back tears because my cousin and my mom were around and I don’t want them to see me crying. What happened to my birthday and the news I received made me so down! A failure! I felt like my life was in ruin. I have no other choice but to enter MIRIAM COLLEGE, an exclusive school for girls. I never wanted to enroll there but I have no choice and the deadline of requirements needed was near. If I didn’t abruptly make a move, they might not accept me and not be able to enter any school at all. So, I guess, that is where I really belong. I have no other choice but to accept the outcome of my life.
After I successfully passed all the needed requirements, I was now enrolled in that school. I wasn’t feeling so happy at all. I started attending psychological exam and orientations from those said schedules. And you know what sucks? My dream school is just beside my present school and every time I’ll pass by I can feel that I am so hurt, I even question myself, “Am I really an imbecile?”
I’m trying to move on by searching things what my present school has that my dream school doesn’t have. But whatever I see around the campus, still ADMU is far better.
I guess I just started loving my present school when I listened to the last orientation that they held last June 7. It was convincing, and little, I’m starting to be proud that I am now a MARYKNOLLER. They even prepared different presentations from different clubs and organizations they have and they really amused me.
The following day, June 8, was my first day in school and my first time to be in college. I felt just fine traveling there and meeting my blockmates and making new set of friends. And until present I’m gaining more academically and socially.
