When James explored to new and uncharted territory finally begins!

    My phone got exposed to water so I need to have it fixed. The Samsung service center in Robinson’s Place Ermita suggested that I got to their main office in Ortigas Ave., Greenhills in order to have my phone fixed. Well, I know Ortigas but I do certainly don’t know where specifically in Greenhills.

    I’ve been to Greenhills, San Juan too few times. But never did I imagined on going there on my lonesome self. Good thing though that I don’t have class anymore on Saturdays for the time being, a good opportunity to fulfill a liability I need to meet.

    I left home at around 2, arrived in Monumento and rode a bus from there at around quarter to 3, arrived to MRT North Ave. Station at 3, was able to ride a train around 3:30 after a long line of commuters trying to buy tickets, and finally arrived in Ortigas station on past 3:30.

    From there I walked towards EDSA Shrine, skipping some parts, crossed EDSA and Ortigas and rode a jeepney en route to Greenhills Shopping Center passing La Salle Greenhills. From there, I went inside then eventually left around 4, crossed Ortigas again by way of  a overpass. I finally saw the building I was looking for, Bonaventure Bldg.

    Once there, I went insde, saw the Samsung center on my left. Took a cue card and watched Spider-Man 3 while waiting for my turn. Once called, I went to Counter 1, told the Samsung lady about my phone’s condition. She took it away from me, telling me that they’ll need around 2-3-5 weeks to fix it.

    I left Bonaventure, rode a jeepney back to Robinson’s Galleria, walked again, ate merienda at McDonalds near Sapphire Road, left, walked back to Ortigas Station and rode a train.

    By 6, I arrived at North Avenue, rode a bus en route to Malanday, stopped in Monumento by around 6:15, crossed MacArthur Highway, rode a jeep en route to Polo, Valenzuela.

    Finally by 7pm, i, being exhausted with all the walking and stuff, got home, safe and sound,

THE END!

Grabe, I can’t really seem to gte enough of this. So it’s really a complete and usually unspeakable fact that your life in CSB is not complete without being classmates/friends/some guy you would often pass along with/etc with someone who has this certain occupations that are the norms in “well-known” schools like Ateneo, La Salle, UP, etc.

Be it an actress, host, radio personality, model, mixer/DJ, newspaper columnist, reality star, singer, NCAA/UAAP star, photographer (whose works get often published in periodicals), you name it, they are all there!

I won’t tell who they are but some of you guys may have an idea who I am referring to:

1. A model who is into this thing that I used to do but I eventually had it abandoned.
2. A guy who is into this thing which is every weekender’s top choice of music every Saturday night.
3. A model who I recently discovered that he is one after I saw a picture of the aforementioned in Fridays edition of Manila Standard Today (Aug.22). (Oralcom)
4. An actress who always play evil third party, be it an afternoon soap or a primetime one. (Basicom)
5. An actress who is currently inactive at the time being but used to be a popular chld actress who starred in films alongside such comedy icons like Dolphy, Palito, and Redford White. (Philien)
6. An actor who first came to fame in a youth-oriented show (be it a drama or a sitcom) whom I recently found out is like any typical teenager who likes to hang out.
7. An actress who is currently inactive but is well-known for being a possessed human in a horror movie.
8. A photographer/senpai for me (girl edition) who had her works published by a well-known periodical.
9. A recently-eliminated reality star who is known for her rendition of Kris Aquino by hosting “Kill or No Kill”. (Filip13)
10. A group of fearsome beasts who excel in the martial art of sharp words.

Trip kong magrequest sa radio station ng DLSU which I found out a few days ago. Here’s how it goes….

James: Hello, Green Giant FM! Can I request for “Leaving” by Jesse McCartney? It’s dedicated for my DLSU alumnae sister, Joadel, who is a certified Jesse-Addict! Thanks and more power
Green Giant: sure thing
James: Thank you, thank you!
James: it’s witha strong J
James: Thanks, tuwang tuwa na ngayon ate ko. Thank you daw sabi niya
Green Giant: no prob

May mga napansin nga lang akong pagkakamali pero over-all, okay naman. Kung gusto niyo mapakinggan ang music station ng DLSU, heto ang site:

It’s been a really, really longtime since I last sat foot on the Angelo King International Center of CSB. So it felt like a heartfelt reunion when something happened that prompted me to go to this building in Arellano cor. Estrada.

I forgot to submit this certain requirement to my professor because I forgot to have it printed on time for our 2nd to the last meeting for the term. Fortunately, she still had one more class where I could still have it submitted. What’s really cool is that her last class for that day is in Rm. i809 in AKIC so I was like “Cool, I get to go AKIC once more, woohoo!”>

I expected that something new would surprise me the moment I enter AKIC. I know for one that they had the Weights Room at the 3rd Floor Carpark relocated to the athlete’s hall in nearby Pasay (or so it says in the brochure) recently, and they had just relocated the AKIC LRC to a larger room at the 12th floor plus their newly renovated kitchen labs between the 5th and 8th floors. Along the way, I bumped unto an old friend of mine from one of my past classes, still donning his corporate blue polo complete with a tie and a coat.

The surprise came when I went inside the “ghostly” elevator and pressed the ‘8’ button there. The moment it stopped itself on the 8th floor, I exited and much to my surprise, I saw a totally new 8th floor. The comlabs looked new with matching windows and stuff. They had the walls painted from white to orange and the floor is now made out of furnished wood. The downside of it all is that the floor is still under renovation so all the classes there were moved to another floor.

That was when I decided to go upstairs to the 9th floor. Once there. I inquired a fellow student about the recent room changes. She recommened that I should either look for my professors through the door windows of each of the more than ten rooms or go to the 10th floor to render the services of the D.O.

I did the former, and from i809, I found my prof somwhere in room i904 or something. Afterwards, I left AKIC and walk my way back to Main along the brightly lighted Estrada.

I really miss god ‘ol AKIC, anda chance for having another class there was simply no longer reachable. However, all the memories I had while having my classes there would, and I quote, “forever be embedded in our hearts and minds”.

Amen to that!

Ano na kaya ang nangyari sa mga kasamahan ko noon sa Filip13. May mga ilan na naging mga kaklase ko habang may ilan na nakikita ko sa mga hallways ng Main. Dahil na rin sa karamihan sa kanila ay mga taga-Shrim, posible na sila ay may mga klase sa AKIC eh ako naman ay padalas na nang padalas ang mga klase ko sa SDA.

Heto ang ilan na nakita ko na:

• Chona-classmate ko sa oralcom
