    Waghhh, hirap pala ang maging member ng isang debate varsity, talagang kakaiba ha? Kailangan gawin mo to pero dapat hindi from the book. Kailangan di mo gawin ito habang ginagawa mo ang ganyan. Nakakalito ‘no? Kaya nga akala ko wala nang pahingahan ito eh.

    Malaking relief talaga na sasabak kami sa isang out-of-town trip sa Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Medyo may kamahalan pero okay lang kasi sina Senpai ang gagastos para sa’min. Tsaka na lang sila babawi sa’min (Ngyeee).

     Isang Sabado ng buwan ng Hulyo ang ginawang departure day naming mga miyembro ng Lipon. Sa org office, nandun na iyung mga friends ko sa Lipon na sina Mao, Lara, Licca, Jomelyn, Jamille, Marco at Jyna. Among the vets naman ay nadun sina Senpai, Carol, Rem, Rico at Jairus, plus si Raspy. Actually, di makakasama sa trip sina (Sir) Jairus, at si Rico pero isa sa mga dating vets ay makakasama namin na ang name niya ay si Rix na graduate nang school.

    Dumating na kami sa isang magandang resort sa Pagudpud (Maaga kami nakaalis kaya maaga na rin kami nakarating). Nakapagreserve sina Senapi sa isang room na okay lang: malawak, malinis at medyo di accomodating kasi isa lang ang bedroom pero 2 ang banyo. It was agreed na kaming mga boys ay matutulog sa may living room whle ang girls ay nasa bedroom.

    Nagstart na kami sa pag-aayos nang mga gamit namin habang may ilan na lumabas para mamasyal along the beach. Naaalala ko pa nga na sina Mikel, Reeves, Marco, Lara at Licca ay pumasok sa isang pool na may lamang water under treatment. Hehehe. Di naman namin alam lalo pa’t sina Lara at Mikel ay nagpadip sa ilaliman ng pool.

    Nightfall came at doon nagstart ang aming “outbound training”. Akala ko pa naman, bakasyon lang ang aatupagin namin kaya hayun. Nose-bleedan hanggang sa kadulu-duluhan ng gabi. 

     Mga ala una na ng madaling araw kaya trip ko nang matulog. Iyung iba hinde nila trip ang matulog eh kaya up till the dusk of dawn ay gising pa rin sila. May nagyosi sa labas, may nag-inuman sa loob and vice-versa.

   I don’t like what I’m seeing kasi I look up to Senpai and Carol (yeah, they smoke and drink). It’s not good na humahawak sila ng authority tapos nagpapalulong sila sa mga ganoong bisyo. HIndi iyon tamam kasi dapat role models sila sa mga members ng Lipon plus higpit na pinagbabawal ng CS na maginum man o magyosi sa mga school-recognized activities lalo pa’ kinukonsidera iyon na under jurisdiction ng school. Weeghh. Doon nagstart ang pagnanais kong makaalis sa org na iyon. Well, ang baba ng katwiran ko pero ayoko macompromise ang mga nakikita ko nung time na iyon sa kung ano ang dapat naming iasal. Oh well, di naman nalaman ng colege kaya lusot.

   In general naman, nagustuhan ko iyung out-of-town namin pero I just really hope that people like Senpai should uphold, with utmost dedication, their roles as models for us members of the orgs.

Enter the J-POD!

    Wehehehehe! At long last, the most and long-awaited endless wait of all is over. I have in the palm of mah hands my one own I-POD Nano!! It’s a dream made in heaven! Oh yeah! I’m so happy happy!

    Well okay, that’s too much loving. I’ve been waiting since August to have my own I-pod so now that I have one, I’m totally speechless!

    My ninang who is based in Long Beach, CA bought this I-POD Nano for my 17th birthday but it was only last November when one of our relatives who lives with Ninang came home with a lot of pasalubongs plus my special gift. Base sa resibo na kasama sa I-Pod na yan, it was bought from Costco costing around US$212 (around not exact). If I were to bought one from here, it’d probabaly cost around Php10,000.00 around the same cost as my new Samsung phone.

From its first day of usage, I had 26 songs inserted into it, 14 from my “dramaholic” soundtrack CD volume 1. The next day, I admitted up to 30 more songs from my little brother’s collection plus from my own music files, totalling up to 58 songs. Yesterday, I included many songs from Utada Hikaru’s Exodus album plus a lot more which had my I-Pod carrying more than 80 songs. Other than that, I also added songs from my friend’s multiply accounts like Linkin Park, Solja Boy, and a whole lot more. I plan to have more from the many CDs we have around this house so that I can make use of my IPod’s 8 GB memory.

    Did I just said “Nano”? Unlike the other Nano models, mine’s wider with functions similar to an Ipod Video. It has games, and extras. I’m not sure if it’s a newly-updated model but the important thing is, I’m no longer alien to my siblings who all have Ipods of their own.

    I want to diversify the kind of music that I want to hear from my I-Pod that’s why I’m incorporating songs not only from the Anime/Jpop variety as well as songs that you may find corny but also songs from different musical genres like RnB, Ballads, Rock, etc.

    At the very least, I don’t have to use my brain as an mp3 player and uncontrollably lip syncing as I do that. I don’t have to be bored whenever I hitch a ride at the LRT as I have something to keep my occupied. hehehe.

Oh my gosh, I have an I-POD!!! I HAVE A FREAKIN’ !@#$%^&* I-POD! AHHHHHH!

The CSB Experience: May 23-December 21 (We Are Still ONE, DV1)

Posted on by

    How time flies! The end of the second term is finally getting nearer by the day and many are looking forward to get a long deserving break this Christmas so that by January 7, we could all look forward to the impending arrival of the third and final term of the school. Unfortunately for this writer, it also means that it’s going to be the end of the block section that unlike any other: DV1.

    We’ve been through a lot for the past seven months. I could still remember when we had our first fateful meeting as a section way back in May 23, a Wednesday. We don’t know each other except for those who came from the same school, particularly Tina, Jico, Gilbert, Alyssa, Czarlene who all came from CSA. Sheena came from Kuwait, Geric and Joaqui are from Iloilo, while Ferdie and company from the south. Marlon, and I came from schools administered by the same congregation of sisters but there was this time that I unknowingly took a shot of him during the DAOP Palad last February.

    We were all quiet. Not a word coming from our mouths. It was only through the Fab 4: Kath, JV, Reybop, and Blue that we were able to form an initial bond as a class. Later on, we became noisy children, talking and talking, sharing thoughts, sharing pain, sharing laughter, and sharing anything less than perfect. I still remember, I became class rep all because of Ferdie. Sir Gepsych was asking then who was our class rep, Ferdie raised his hand and pointed at me, waghhh! I also remember Gilbert’s grand entrance on the first day of class. He was late and it was from him that made us very lively throughout the lifespan of the block section. No doubt about it.

    I also remember how Sheena popularized the word “Brinjal”. I don’t know what happend exactly but it was during Filip11 that Brinjal became a byword in DV1. First bonding time was during our very first Ordev event, the Frosh Night while the teacher “most disliked” was Sir Natsca (why so? Hmmm..).

    There wer times that our differences had ovecome us, such when there was a heated online war of words between this writer and two other people, indiretly hitting Sheena and company. there weren’t exactly any straight-at-the-face apologies but the friction is still there. I’m already keeping my mouth zipped to the two of them so as to not ignite another war except if I have to (like asking for paper or anything else). The consequence perhaps is the treatment whcih is downright downright (can’t say exaclty), but I’ll let things cool off for now.

    Formation of groups have caused division within the section, like a sort of iron curtain but still bound of being a block. There’s the group of Ferdie and friends (at the west side), the group of Hoogie and company (Northwest), the Brinjals (East), the three Gals (between hoogie and company and Ferdie and friends), and the others at the back. I’ve also noticed the rise, fall and formation of relationships (no need to elaborate), as well as the clash of culture of who knows and who doesn’t.

    It’s kind of sad really that we have to part ways so soon, I mean, the block have been in existence for two/thirds of the entire school year and it’ll all be disappeared like that. That’s college all right, but if I have my way,  there ought to be a system to let us stay together, but that’d be impossible.

    Thanks DV1 for giving me and the rest of us the best 7 motnhs we have as college students. Even if you’re gone, the feeling is still there. For we believe that no other section is nothing like DV1 for DV1 IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER. Because if we are, then that is soooo fetch!

Reality and Dreams: Sleep Dancing Revolution

Posted on by
Reply

    Hehehe, just by merely lookingat the title, you could by now guess what it’s all about. Yup, it’s all about DanceRevo (Dance2x Revolution).

    So, about a week ago (last Friday), Kuya Evan bought a PS2 CD of the “latest” edition of DanceRevo as well as a dance pad when he was on his way home from school but took a pitstop at SM North EDSA. When he came hoem with it, he immediately had it set up and I was more than happy that we now have a DanceRevo to play with, I was also exciting because I could practice dancing as well as sweating my way to be fit (I wish to have 6-pack abs so it’s a good way to burn the fat from my stomach).

    Well, the rest of us siblings got hooked on it quickly before you say “Dance” and we got addicted to it, most especially little brother Jorge.

    That weekend, the whole family went to SM Megamall to buy new clothes for my little brother. I took the opportunity to go to TimeZone so I could play DanceRevo plus DanceMania (where I get to dance using my hands).

    Grabeh, it was so intense as I was soooo hooked on this two arcade games. I probably spent 20 pesos worth of credits (5 pesos per credit for DanceMania) dancing like a Maniac who get to have an S rating yet failed to finish a high scorer round. Not just that, with my 2 brothers, we went on stepping every step on each arrow printed on the dance pad. I can’t help myself to stop yet I still went on and on.

    I ended up getting bruises for hitting metal objects while playing DanceMania and getting tired legs and feet for playing too much DanceRevo. I went home worn out and energy-ridden.

    That night, I thought that I coul;d sleep off the pain I feel from the injuries I inflicted for playing these two games. Yet throught the course of the whole evening, my body (as I sleep), can’t help but move. What’s weird is that I can’t control my legs for some reason. It’s as if they’ve become so used on DanceRevo that they have the urging (probably a signal from my brain) to move like as if I was dancing. It went on until I finally got myself to sleep with full comfort.

    It’s already weird that I experience weird things when I’m sleeping almost every night: sleeptalking, dreams that can foretell events and now sleep dancing. Can it get any weirder than that? Hmmmm….

Sana’y Aking Makapiling Ang Dapat Aking Minimithi (QUESTUS PARASVS SAUS I-PODIAMUS)

Posted on by

    Yehey! This is now my 109th J-Blog….so anyway here how it goes….

    I’ve been dying to have an I-Pod ever since my siblings began to have theirs. My ate and my little borther have their models (I-Pod Nano and Shuffle respectively) last summer of 2006 while kuya got his as a gift for his 19th birthday. Aba, daig pa ako. Naunahan pa ako ng nakakabata kong kapatid.

    What I can only be proud of is that I have a CD player bought by my mom from the States, add to that a collection of soundtrack CDs and CDs with songs I burned from the Internet. Wagghhh, ang baba naman ng kaligayahan ko. It comes to show that gone are the days that CD players serve as social status symbols as they were 10 years ago. Today, I-pods are now considered, the IN THANG (ehem…).

    Hindi naman sa naghahangad ako ng I-pod para lang makiuso’t ipagyabang pero, isipin niyo na lang: Apat na magkakapatid, samasama madalas lumabas for family outings, tanging panglibang habang nakasakay sa sasakyan ay ang pagsaksak ng earphones sa tainga nila (siyempre nandon pa rin ang family bonding moments namin pero iba na yon!). My problem, I’m left out really for goodness’ sake. GOSH!

    Good thing my 17th birthday came. I wished for only two things, a new cellphone (since my third-hand Sony Ericsson T610 is already showing signs of malfunctioning), and an I-Pod  (Nano i hope). But of course, my parents could only afford to buy me one of what I want so I opted ofr the more practical one, the cellphone (which I did anyway by buying a Samsung phone whcih only cost Php9k hehehe).

    I still aspire to have an I-Pod so that was what I requested from my ninang who is based in the United States. And she did (Yehey!!). Kaso, I have to wait until it arrives.

    Fortunately, I was already waiting for my Ipod with full patience. A relative of ours came home with the things that my ninang bought for us and the rest of the Sibucao clan sometime this week. Among those was my long-awaited I-Pod (Yehey!).

    Bad news though, I won’t see my beloved one until Christmas. My mom had it kept hidden so she could give it to me by then. Well, it’s so not right. My I-pod wasn’t supposed to be a Christmas gift for me but as a belated birthday gift by 3 months since August. Well, the endless wait must continue on. Sayang rin kasi sumayaw ako ng buong ligaya kasi super happy ako na ako rin ay magkakaIpod na rin.

    Oh well, that’s life. Well, I suppose I can wait. It’s already less than 25 days before Kris Kringle could make akyat bahay our house. So as long as I know that it’s finally here, it is worth the wait.

Basta Spring Waltz ipalabas na, tagal na akong naghintay kaso ENDLESS WAIT pa rin!!

Higher than the sky above you

brighter than the rays of sunshine
warmer than what you feel

Brighter than the living colors

flowing from the mountain spring
more than all the wonders you see
its the most wonderful thing

One love…
I love you so…
Love is the beautiful one…
I love you so…
Love is the beautiful one…
All we need is love…
Real LOve…

Wonderland sides of greenfields
amazingly see
watch the colors of the rainbow
its a miracle you see
more than all the wonders can be
but there’s more than that…

One love…
I love you so…
Love is the beautiful one…
I love you so…
Love is the beautiful one…
All we need is love…
