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

    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!!

The CSB Experience: Pre-Enrolling The Benildean Way

Posted on by

    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!

One Love (Full English Version)

Blog, Blog, Blog, It’s All About J-Blogs! (Inspired by Gino Dela Paz’s SUPREME article)

Posted on by

    An hour ago (around 9 in the evening), I was reading the Philippine Star after my mom bought it when she left the house earlier that morning. I was so relieved since my day is incomplete without my dose of PhilStar. So I was turning page by page and ended up reading this article from my fave lifestyle writer, Paulo Azcarazen which is, and always still about the glory that is old Manila. But I’ll tell you more about that later. Sooner after, I was flipping at the SUPREME section of the Star and find myself reading (for the second time) a feature story written by Gino Dela Paz.

   It’s been a week since I actually read an article of his, for which his take on tried-and-tested yet “terribly awful” formats used on certain Philippine program genres really caught my eye. This time, his latest eye-catching piece is all about the matter of blogging. To make the long story short, he’s been a blogger himself since 2002 and only stopped a year ago, not out of boredom but for “property-intellectual rights” reasons as well as trying to balance being a blogger who post 2-3 entries a day and being a writer for a respectable paper such as the Philippine Star.

  Sa totoo lang, I kind of agree with him. Sometimes, when you start something new, it initially gets to you and before you know, it never stops until the time comes that the steam coming out of doing it begins to dwindle out of your interest. Gino may have lost interest when blogging became a kinda of a trend for which the common tao would show their stuff much the same way that they did to other social networking communities like Friendster, MySpace, Youtube, and recently Facebook.

  Since 2001, I’ve been in the online social networking thing and right now, I’m active at several community forums as well as a few social network sites.

  I still remember how I got hooked over blogging. It was last March and me and my batch of graduating hopefuls are about to gain our freedom after 4 years of torment and joy under the ruling dictatorship. My friend Dianne indirectly introduced me to Multiply when she posted a blog entry and had the link posted on YM. I wanna comment on her post but I have to register and that was how it al began. Now, I’ve made around 107 published and unpublished posts. Not sure though when I would stop.

  It’s always weird on how I make such blog posts, including the ridiculous titles for them. If you wanna know my secret on making a “J-Blog”, here’s how:

  1. There must be something, or someone that would spark an interest for you to write about. It can be a person, a place, a thing, or even an unfortunate event happened to you. (For example, whenever I take the jeep ride home to Valenzuela from Monumento, Caloocan City, I have to bear the ever annoying filibustering of Mamang Barker who does nothing but hit on us commuters while at the same time, having a smoke)
  2. Your mind would suddenly undergo brainstorming the moment it caught the attention of such. You would mentally compose your proposed blog post. Skip to the actual writing, you would print out through you fingers your “mental draft” over the matter.
  3. Here’s the most difficult, having to think a very eye-raising title to your blog. It has to reflect the content of your blog so that your readers would raise interest on reading it, if ever it tickles their fancy. It doesn’t have to be overly ridiculous or boringly simple, but just right. (Remember the controversial “La Muda Chillon” post? The entry’s title caught the attention of more than 25 bloggers passing by, and before you know it, the blog ended up with having around 500 views in total).
  4. Write it like you’ve never write before. From the start, you really need have an idea of what you’re suppose to write from the very start. Without it, you’ll end up getting tired of writing something not worth your time nor the electricity bill Meralco would charge to your parents. Take it from me, the reason, I had more than 100 posts (including still unfinished and unpublished ones) is that I know what I’m writing about and once I do, it’s only a breeze. The fun part is that I get to finish one blog for an average of 2 hours (long posts usually) and 1 hour at least (for shorter ones), thanks to my fast typing fingers and my brain-fixed ability to unknowingly recognize keys from the keyboard without looking or not looking at the monitor while writing with minimal errors. That’s how it feels to be IN THE ZONE.

 

   So far, I have a lot of things that I wanna write and yet I can’t write them all because not all the time kailangan ko isulat ang lahat ng mga hinagpis ko nor anything that crosses my mind unless I have to (like this one). Not really sure when I would actually stop blogging since I’m still hooked to it much. Other than that, I don’t really have the kind of pressure that Gino dela Paz may have trying to balance being a PhilStar writer an a blogger. I’m not a professional writer but I love to write since it serves as my comfort zone, an alter ego, a friend. Gino’s main reason for it is that blogging had become too mainstream but it became mainstream because of people like him in the first place, plus he’s concerned about identity theft or something.

  I’m not totally close from the last thing that I’ve mention but if you feel your heart is with this, then go pursue it. No one could stop us from doing what we wanna do except for ourselves so let them be. To close this conversation, I just hope this 108th blog would become a big inspiration to everyone.

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…
