The CSB Experience 2: When Thoughts of Shifting Surfaces

Posted on by
4

    Well, this is a rather low-down. I think there comes a time that there’s a point in your lfie where you ask yourself “Tama pa ba ang ginagawa ko?” or “Tama ba ang napili kong ‘to”. that’s when you knew that the word “shifting” comes in handy.

    I for one don’t really approve of seeing my colleagues shift to another course since they already made a choice in the first and they have to with it. But given their reasons, they do have a point. I never knew that the ‘shifting bug’ would catch me.

    Now we have this report in Hartds-1 and somehow, my professor more or less congratulated our group for a well-researched material despite having some flaws. A Korean classmate of mine who in the group also congratulated plus he made compliment of of my knowledge of the matter. Then I joked around with another classmate that where I said thatb “where I lack in practical creativity, I get back with artistic intelligence” and we were just laughing. But all of a sudden it hit me.

    Then something came up and I was like “I’m good at knowing things”, “…But I can’t do what my ‘ka-course’ can actually do”. Yeah negative thoughts really bring me down. All my words may seem typical from an Art Management student, I reckon.

    I asked myself, “What will happen if I was an AM student? What would that be like? Hmmm….”. It was so not like me to say these but if given a second chance, then maybe I culd excel at being an expert in the arts.

    But no. I refuse to do so. Shifting is far from my agenda in college. ABMMA is still the best course and I’m just having sophomoric blues. I hate it when people experience that!

In one way or another, the clever fool shouldn’t be discouraged. Yeah!

The CSB Experience 2: Crime Scene Investigating Operative (CSIO)

Posted on by

[Note: This is serious]

 

Yesterday was a rather tense day for me. I don’t want to accuse anyone who was caught redhanded for taking something away from me by way of a CCTV footage. But right now I’m close to pursuing the person identified for alleged stealing.

Okay here it goes. Around 12:30 pm, I logged myself out of PC-8 in comlab Rm. A1002 (SDA building) because of hygienic reasons. Then I came down to the 9th floor in preparation of my 1pm class. It was only there did I noticed that my I-pod was not in my bag and completely forgot that I brought it out earlier to download some file back in 1002.

Believing that I was only away for a few minutes, at 12:45 I came back but my Ipod was nowhere to be found. I asked the technician at the MLO if they found an item left around 12:30. They said i should come back around 2 so i could ask one of them who wasn’t in the office that time. 2 pm came and I hurriedly came back to the MLO but they have no clue about the whereabouts of my missing item.

2:30 pm came and I have an hour and half hour before my next class would commence. So I tok the opportunity to investigate further. I went to the GAS Office upon the recommendations of the MLO but from there I was sent to the OSB to check if ever someone had found it and had it surrendered at the lost-and-found of the OSB. At OSB, they don’tt have any record of such. I almost gave up by hopes were raised when they said I should check out the people manning the security cameras installed inside the comlabs.

To the MLO again I go and there I was able to gain access to the raw footages they recorded from the time I left 1002. from what I’ve observed, there was one who came in just as I left 1002. “He” logged himself on PC-16 which is across the PC I just used. There, he was swinging his chair and came across something near the area around PC-8. He swings himself more then stand up and went out of the room. Moments later, he came back in and took that he saw andput it into his bag. he logged himself out, left the room but that was before he took another thing found near PC-8 (My USB cord was attached with my I-pod so that was missing too). There, we saw the culprit, next phase: identification.

I asked the technician (Mang Rene) if he could  check the names of students who logged in and out from PC-16 between 12:30 to 1:00 pm. From there we narrowed it down further from the time I logged out to the time the suspect logged himself out from PC-16 based on the footage. Finally, we identified the name of the student. I won’t say the name but what I can tell you is that it’s not a “he” but a “she-he”. Currently I aired my complaint before the SDA Security Office and the OSB as well. As of now, they will try to contact with the suspect for questioning and present before her evidence of the alleged stealing.

I have no intention of filing a case against her unless I am sure of her intentions of taking the item, whether she would have it surrendered at the OSB’s main office back at Main or keep it for herself. I really hope that I’d be able to get through this.

Frustrated

Posted on by

    I have a lot of reasons to be frustrated, from natural to man-made disasters, from the obscure to the geekiest things on earth. So I’m writing out all my frustrations to get it all off my mind.

1. Valenzuela’s still submerged in water, but less now than yesterday. But in classic fashion, it’ll be my subdivision that’ll be the last one to have the floods subsided, probably taking 2 months or so, depending if the lowest parts of the neighborhood will be affected by neighboring high tides from Malabon and Obando. TAGAL!!

2. My dad drove me, kuya and my little brother to school. When we had him dropped off in Bayan, boy was it one heck of traffic jam in Leon(y)o Street. That streets leads directly out to R-10 “faster” than the side road along the Navotas side. It took a good 15 minutes to declogged the jam causedd apparently by a lazy old traffic enforcer, credits goes to this one cop who danced to untie the knot the other guy caused. When we finally got out from that mess, the lazy old coot was still doing his job, making :kaway-kaway: to “tell” the vehicles to go along (Boo!).

3. Along R-10 in Navotas, much to my surprised that along Manila Bay (near the Navbotas Baywalk) lies a capsized ship. I wonder why there’s no sign of the police nor even the Coast Guard surrounding the area plsu no media attention. I guess, not every thing as urgent as the one in Navotas are given due importance as I thought it should. Then again, they should.

4. Cursed Hartds-1 assignment plus report plus Philien report. I didn’t slept at all, I finished working around past 1 pm but my mind was still awake until it finally rested for 4 am (an hour really). yet I was still not finished: I have to print my draft for the Philien poetry report, print my pictures of illuminiated manuscript. Unfortunately, I ahd mine made in Vista and our printer is installed to our old XP which doesn;t recognized old English (blame on the administrator nthingy started in XP, limiting other profiles to install software programs). I had my other homework printed at sime shop near school. What made all the work that I’ve done for two days worth it was that I didn’t stink when our group finallyn reported (well only Hyun-ho and me anyway). What i lacked in practical creativity, I amde up for artistic intelligence (for two days I studied everything about Romanesque, Byzantine and Gothic).

5.Cursed reliable SDA restrooms. All the restrooms at SDA’s west wing are all out of order , closed maintenance (maintenance my foot!). So i have to go the restrooms in the east wings for my cotstant relief operations. What’s worse, on my last class, the “now” nearby east wing restroom at the 10th floor still doesn’t have freaking drinking fountains! AGHHH!

6. Pests keep on bugging me:period:!

7.Two of my favorite radio stations are experiencing developemnts at fast of a pace than I could imagine. First Campus 99.5: Zack Attack a.k.a. the former MigZ with a Z of HiT FM officially resigned fromk the station effective yesterday (Araw ng Maynila) with a short-minute guest appearance at the Brewrats. The guys at PEx are already talking about this incident, since many thought the tension after the HiT “flip” was long over. I’m just happy that Campus retained handful of the jocks of HiT including two shows, David’s House and the Brewrats. Well I guess we were wrong. Well, good luck for MigZ and the rest of the ex-HiT Squad still in Campus.

8.Here’s another, this time in 103.5 Max FM (geek na ako sa radyo waghh!): a)Favorite soundtrip while I commute my way home from school, Back In the Day Cafe, will be shortened to just one hour from its suual three slot of 6-9 pm to an 8-9pm slot. Why?, b)Johnny Z, one-half of the Technoboys(@ Night) is resigning as well due to work conflicts possibly brought by the recent 12-hour slot switch with “Kellybites Nights”, place Drei&Jay at the 9-12 mn slot, a bad move I foresaw from the start. And what’s really surprsinig is that Migz said that he’ll be surfacing soon..I smell something fishy. (I can’t believe I’m actually saying these words. Am I that an avid listener of radio?)

9. I hate the SDA ACTC for blocking users in the comlabs to watch videos from youtube. Why?

10. I hate those pedicab drivers who not only operate illegally in Taft, Pablo Ocampo and Leon Guinto without a license plate, but think they own the streets! They mark their territory by spitting to the ground where workers and students walk. They even harassed outgoing LRT commuters coming down from Vito Cruz station to get passengers. Why!!

11. I hate the barkers of Monumento who try to convince passngers that there’s still room in an already-crowded jeepney. Ehhh, it’s already hard to find even  the slightest of avaiable sitting space, eventually having yourself ended up on someone’s “$%^&%*” (inspired from Beerkada).

There!

The CSB Experience 2: My First Manila Day Holiday/Weekend

Posted on by

Yup, believe it or not, ngayon lang ako makakaranas ng actual na Araw ng Maynila kasi last year nahulog lang yata ito sa isang weekend so wala rin. Buti nga lang ngayong Monday eh walang pasok. Meaning more time for me to do my homework.

Actually three things to do this weekend: Philien Powerpoint Report about Poetry this Thursday, sa Hartds-1 eh gagawa ako ng “Artwork” na illuminated manuscript iyung parang medieval na Bibliya atsaka isang powerpoint presentation rin para sa Hartds-1 tungkol naman sa Medieval art and architecture simula Early Christian to Byzantine to Goth to Romanesque.

 Kainis kasi dapat Gothic architcure ang samin at dapat July 2 kaso ewan ko sa prof ko, pinaaga kasi midterms na kaagad namin sa 2 at isinama pa ung iba pang art forms ng middle ages eh supposed to be Gothic Art and Architecure ang irereport namin. Ang nakakainis eh ako na naman ang ginawang lider ng mga grupong kinasasangkutan ko sa Philien a Hartds-1! Wagghh!

Kaya habang lunes pa lang ako ay  magtatrabaho para at least walang aberya ang mangyayari. Bukas rin bibili ako ng mga materyales para magkakagawa ako ng lintek na manuscript na yan.

This is not the kind of Hartds-1 I would have imagined taking, good thing I have only less than 7 weeks to endure this $#!%.

 

Happy Manila Day na lang!

Posted on by
Reply

PInanood na samin ni Sir Dangat kung ano ang maari gawin namin bilang finals project sa Joseriz. Di ko sure kung sino ang mga magiging mga ka-grupo ko pero may naisip na akong konsepto dahil nainspired ako sa isang movie na ginawa ng mga dating estudyante ni Mr. Dangat.

 

Title: “Mga Munting Pangarap ni Pepe” 

Theme: Mga naging occupations ni Jose Rizal nung nabububuhay pa siya.

Synopsis: May isang bata na nagreresearch tungkol sa buhay ni Rizal. Nalaman niya na ang daming mga trabaho’t iba pang occupations si Rizal. Napaisip isip kung paano nagawa yon lahat ni Rizal sa lalong madaling panahon. Nagthought bubble at inisip na bakanagkaroon siyang multiple personalities. Rizal the “doctor”, rizal the “writer”, rizal the “lover”, rizal the “womanizer”, rizal the “husband”, rizal the “son”, etc.

 

Title: “Pepe’s Little Women”

Theme: The many women of Rizal

Synopsis: Si Noli at Aya ay may JoseRiz project kaya nung binuksan nila ang libro ng biography ni Rizal, tumalon sila bigla sa isang mahiwagang bola at nag”tingininginingininging…”. Dumating sila sa iba’t ibang panahon ng buhay ni rizal kasama ang mga babae sa buhay niya mula kay Leonor Rivera (Morena)  hanggang kay Oseisan (naka-Otaku dapat) hanggangt kay Josephine Bracken (nagsusuot ng Irish Green). Modern setting nga lang kasi mahal ang costume.

 

Title: “The Pepe Game”

Theme: Q&A’s about Rizal

Synposis: Isang Game show titled the Pepe Game is a guessing game/quiz show. Bawat contestant. Dapat alam nila lahat ng tungkol kay Rizal by filling in the blanks and a wheel of fortune-like letter guessing game. Winner will win a trip to Avenida Rizal corner Blumentritt St.
