The CSB Experience: Pre-Enrolling The Benildean Way

    A while ago, I was already half done with this 108th blog but the PC went off and all I’ve worked for got suddenly erased so I’m rewriting this again.

   Tomorrow, me and my fellow 107 students will throng the many comlabs in CSB to get ourselves “pre-enrolled” to the different courses for the third term. We do that by selecting a course (subject) with a specific time and day. Courses can be taken thrice a week (an hour a day), twice (one and a half), once (three). There are some that needed to be taken 4.5 hours a week so there times that they have to taken 4 times a week.

    For us froshes, what’s wise is to just follow our flowcharts whcih states what subjects we want to take, although we are given the freedom to choice any other as long as we hold on to it with full accountability.

    Two weeks ago, I’ve al;ready enlisted my chosen subjects for next term and luckily, my soon-to-be adviser approved them all. The following are my future 3rd term subjects.

  1. Filip13 (Filipino 3)
  2. BMat2-x (Business Math)
  3. Philoma (Philosophy of Man)
  4. Petriid (PE 3-Individual Sports)
  5. Reconse (Religion of the Consideration of the Self, or something like that)
  6. Comsk2x (Communication Skills)
  7. Worlite (World Literature)

    So far, I’ve drawn up three possible scheds, but the thing is, choosing a subject is easier said than done. There are a lot of considerations, especially those 4.5 hour subjects. Minsan alangin, minsan masyadong malayo. Even if I want to have an early MWF and a late morning to early afternoon TH, the 4.5 hour subjects make things complicated. I have the choice of taking whcih section I want to be.

    For example, for my TH 1:00-2:30 PM class, I can choose my Worlite class either at section Dv1 at the Taft campus, and on another one at Angelo King International Center in Estrada cor. Arellano. I can simply walk my way there after lunch on Tuesday and run after a previous class has ended all the way from Taft on Thursday for one way, the other way si to have one subject in the morning with a 4 hour gap before 1:00 Pm and another with a 2 hour gap before 1.

   My, college is getting complicated as the months passes by. I’m not sure I cant make it.  Although I shoulnd’t really worry since the third term contains the last 3 months of the school as well as the last three months that us freshmen will get to take General Subjects. By next year probably, we may be able to take subjects related to our respective degree programs so I do hope that I would still be alive till then.

 

   GOOD LUCK and ANIMO BENILDE!

Buhay Kolehiyo: J-Tips on What To Wear, What To Bring, What to do on rainy and cool days

    Dito sa college, ang mga kabataan ay binibigyan ng kalyaan na i-express ang kanilang mga sarili. Nagdadala sila ng mga kakailanganin nila, at ng mga isho-show off nila. Ngunit, limitado lamang ang kalayaan na ito sa ilang mga colleges kaya kailangan ng diskarte para maiplabas mo ang tunay na ikaw.

    Kahit hindi ka ang tipo na fashionista, maari rin na nagsusuot ka ng mga damit na masasabing uso tuwing panahon ng tag-ulan. Necessities na kailangan dalhin pero trendy pa rin. Ang mga susunod ay ang mga tipsko kung ano ang puede mong maisuot at mga dadalhin tuwing tag-lamig (este tag-ulan, sori!)!

  1. magdala ka palagi ng jacket, sweater o kahit anong pang-itaas na may makakapal at/o mahahaba ang manggas. Kahit hindi umuulan. bagay sa’yong isuot yan lalo na kung todo ang buga ng aircon sa klasrum niyo o di kaya kusang malamig talaga ang simoy ng hangin sa labas. Pagkakataon mo na rin to show your school spirit at bumili ng mga jacket na tatak school mo.
  2. Depende sa pinatatakbong dress code, maaring magsuot ka ng shortpants kung gutso mo. Uso na arin ang mga nagmumukhang mga checkered pants pero tandaan may good at plus points ito. Ang PLUS: hindi ito mamamantsa ng kahit anong putik na tatalsik sa binti mo. Ang MINUS: panindigan mo ang isinuot mo, malakas ang aircon, walang pambalot ang mga binti mo, exposed pa!
  3. Sa mga kalalakihan, panahon na para gumising sa katotohanang kailangan natin talaga ng payong. Kaya, why not buy “MANBRELLAS”? Mga payong na hindi mukhang gender biased at kasya pa sa bag mo. maliit lang ang inooccupy na psace kaya tiyak na di ka na maabutan ng ulan.
  4. Tandaan sa mga sipunin diyan na para maging ligtas ang araw mo mula sa kahiyahiyang mga siphon filter na iyan, magdala, di lamang ng panyo, pati na rin ng labakara at ng isang set ng tissue. Ang panyo puedeng i-wipe ang ilong kung tumutulo ang sipon mo. Ang face towel, nililinis ang mukha mo, di lamang ang ilong. Ang tissue ay ang naglilinis ng kalooban ng ilong at nagsisilbing tapunan ng mga kung anuman ang ine-eject mo mula sa ilong mo.
  5. Alamin kung kailan isusuot ang jacket. Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon at lugar ay maari mongisuot iyan. Puwede mo siyang tanggalin kung nakasakay ka sa jeep at nagsisikipan ang mga pasahero doon.
  6. Para uli sa mga sipunin, maghanap ng tsamba kung walang tao sa banyo (sa mga nahihiyang suminga), para walang makarinig sa ingay na dinudulot ng pagsinga mo. Kung ayaw mo ng wlaang tao, kailangan lang ng lakas ng loob paa ipakita sa mundo na ganun ka suminga.
  7. Kapag malamig ang panahon, iwasan siguro ang pagkokonsume ng mga malalmig para hindi ka pa lalo ma frost bite sa sobrang lamig. Kumain ng medyo warm at hot para na rin mapawisan ka na rin.
  8. Iwasan pumasok sa mga lugar kung saan malakas ang buga ng aircon maliban sa classroom mo, tulad ng library, school internet cafe (I NOOK, ComLabs).
  9. Kung pinapayagan kayong umalis ng school during C-Break, maghang-out muna sa condo ng klasmeyt para magpalipas ng oras doon.
  10. Anuman ang dalhin mo at ang suot mo sa school, i-flaunt mo na lang para isipin ng iba diyan na pauso ka…

Buhay Kolehiyo: A Post from Soompi.com

from the College thread section, I saw this one posted by a forumer, Enjoy!

“i stopped reading midway. but from the sound of it, you guys are taking each other way too seriously. it’s ok to be nice at first to get to know people. but what i found out was being an bubble gum was ok too.

my roomate was so relaxed that he was just chilling in his boxers when i got in the room. then i asked him to help me set up the wireless network, which he called “pinkpanties”. at this point, i was beyond weirded out. i hope he wasn’t a crazy pervert or anything like that. so fast forward it to 3 weeks.

i was trying to be as nice as i could so we could get along and there would be no fights. but he kept saying random things to try to piss me off. so i would just sit there and smile/laugh, until one day i was like ok let me try talking back instead. after that we both knew how to joke around with each other. it was like natural for us to say, f-you, and all those obscene words.

we found out how similar we were in personality by realizing we don’t care what other people think about us. that we are confident enough to hold our own and even if we didnt have friends in the building, it wouldn’t matter to us. and even though i have a group to chill with, i still would rather keep my roomate just so we can keep eachother on our toes. it’s fun to get in someones face as long as you both know how to joke around with it.

stop taking life so seriously, before you know it, we’re gone. do something crazy. do something that no one would expect. be spontaneous. people will think you’re crazy, but if you know how to amuse yourself, you will amuse others.

hope everything goes well with you’re group!”
