LOVE & LIFE - it can't get better than this

damn, this is depressing.... hopeless...

just when you thought everything was running smoothly... you reach a dead end...

Perdon porque yo no soy bueno en espanol porque estudio todavia. Lo siento si algunos de mis palabras espanolas no tienen los acentos todavia.

Muy mal! (mi expresion espanol favorito) Yo tengo mucho trabajo esta una mes pasado. El es la semana cuarta de mi mes del infierno! Yo tengo dos examen en mi clase de contabilidad y estatistica. Mi clase LS es muy horrible porque mi profesora es muy antipatica y no es carinosa. Yo necesito estudiar para mis examenes en la estatsstica y la psicologia. Psicologia es mas deficil que antes porque nuestra profesora esta enojada con nuestra clase porque algunos de mis companeros de clase estafados en nuetras examenes. Mi clase en espanol es muy divertido. Yo obtengo los grados altos en espanol! Mi clase en psicologia y antropologia es muy aburrido pero es muy bueno porque el clase es muy facil y nuestra profesora es muy amigable. Mi clase en SCI 10 es muy bueno tambien pero yo no tengo pasado examen.

Ah! Me quiero vacaciones para descansar porque estoy mucho cansado de muchos trabajos.

Tu comprendes yo? Si usted no entiende, usted puede dejar algun recado tan yo lo puedo traducir.

Manana es el cumpleanos de mi abuela! Feliz cumpleanos mi abuela!

Bueno. Yo soy estudio por mis clases manana. Yo no se si tenemos un examen manana pero yo soy estudio para estar seguro.

El viernes pasado, Yo me emborrache porque bebi 4 botellas de cerveza en menos de 1 hora. Mi amigo marc se emborracho tambien porque el bebio muchas botellas de cerveza! Fui a la Ateneo bebida para primera vez. Esta muy horrible y espantoso porque yo no soy puedo agarrado bebido pol el guardia! Esta una gran aventura!
Bueno. Terminare mi composicion aqui. Buenas Dias mis amigos! Buenas suerte en tus examenes y clases!

I've been wanting to update this for the longest time already.. I just haven't had time...

I'm writing this with an hour to go before our 3rd accounting long exam... I have just found out that I got an F in the 2nd long exam. i thought i got an F+ but no! the curve went up while my grade went down! I need to get a 2 in this test (that's a C or 60%) or else I'm doomed forever!

Anyway, a few good things happened this week. I found out that I'm in the top 20 in the IAC MVP standings for basketball. I'm in 2 divisions and I'm currently ranked 18th in both divisions.. That's not bad since I've been playing against and with good players! Oh Yeah! I also passed the Stat LT, though barely and I think I did better in our 3rd Sci 10 exam.. Spanish has been fun and quite easy as usual..
This is my 3rd week in hell... I'm having another hell week next week and that just about completes my hell month! God Help me!

I can't wait for this sem to end... I'm going to hibernate once sembreak sets in!

Heto na... ACCOUNTING NA... WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

2006-08-25T09:07:00.001+08:00

I wrote a really long entry about my experience in Baguio while working for the Department of education but the computer I was using suddenly went haywire! That sucks! I'll write about it again soon... when I have the time.. My leg's feeling better and I can play soccer again without pain! oh yes!

Let me just say... That Baguio DepEd experience was AWESOME! Even if we weren't given 4000 pesos, I would still have done that! Oh yes!!!! Can't wait til next year! though I hope that DepEd will ask Strains to do it and I hope that Strains will accept once more! Look at my pictures! it's in my multiply account! The link is hidden somewhere in this blog! hehehe...

2006-08-06T15:48:00.000+08:00

I hope my leg will hold up... I dont want to be injured again... please... I want to play... I want to play... I dont want to be sidelined again...

2006-08-03T21:42:00.000+08:00

I've been to hell so many times this past few months that I think I'll be earning a discount pass real soon. I've been so busy with Academics and extra-curricular activities that I have no more time to rest. Accounting and Statistics have been stupidly difficult since our teachers dont do their jobs. Then LS, a 2 unit subject is more demanding that two 3 unit courses combined... I failed my SCI 10 long test by 1 point, the accounting long test has yet to be returned, the Stat long test was bullshit and I'll be lucky to get 40/100 in that test, Social Anthropology is simply boring, Psychology is driving me crazy while LS is just a pain in the ***! Spanish has been my only fun subject (aside from PE). I've been doing a lot for my org lately and I'm playing for the org team in the Futsal IAC. Funny note: I was in the headline of the IAC board for violating league rules that a player may only play for one team. I was penalized by cancelling all the goals I scored and our win was turned into a loss. All in all, had my goals not been disqualified, I would have 7 goals in five games (5 goals were cancelled).

Anyway, we had our LS field trip last monday (it sucks because monday was a school holiday). I wont delve much into details because a lot of things happened during that day. To sum it up, we went to Toyota plant and Jollibee in Laguna and Gourmet Farm in Tagaytay. We weren't able to go to Gardenia because we got delayed by heavy traffic on the way to Laguna. The tour itself was rather dull. The bus trip more than made up for it though since it was total bonding for our block, not that we needed more bonding. There were snacks everywhere and people were just laughing and talking. A bad thing however is the sudden outburst of our teacher talking on the microphone to tell us stories about her adventures and other stuff; the hideous act woke us all up from our sweet slumbers. Moving on, I would just like to say that Nica is the best seatmate ever! and Mark, Mian, Steb, Marts, Perci, Francis, Mitchell and Benson are the best "surrounding" people(they were the ones seated around and beside us). Ralph and Maine are the best photographers!

By the way, I would just like to say congratulations to those who passed the recruitment for Strains especially to my freshie Eleanor and my blockmate Ralph. Sadly, not all of my friends made it and that made me feel miserable. I wanted all of my friends to get in not only because they are my friends but because I believed in what they could do; otherwise I would not have asked them to join Strains. However, at the end of the day, my arguments were put to naught because of some reasons that I just couldnt find any way to argue about. I tried to defend them though, but to no avail... Oh well...

Highlight of the Day (Aug 3, 2006): Mark, Mian, Jau, Mitchell, Perci, Steb, Nica and I went to Eastwood to have lunch at Fazoli's. After lunch, before leaving, Nica pulled me to the Nike shop and bought me a Brazil shirt (Damn, it pays to be rich). She did it with such precision and finesse that it took some time for me to realize what was happening. Thank you Nica! I love you! Sorry for being so lousy! I'll make it up to you! Just you wait...

wow.. so much for a comeback entry... more to come!

~ You are the only one who can take me away from this hell because you are made from heaven...

2006-07-08T22:29:00.000+08:00

My first hell week coming up! I don't know how I got myself into a lot of things for this week and I do hope I survive this!

This week is the combination of Hell weeks from my Org and Acads with a touch of other extra-curricular hell. Oh yeah! How fun!

To start it off, I have a lot of things to do for Strains. Being a CBTL (Community Building Team Leader), I need to set the first meeting with my team to discuss some things about our team and other stuff. Luckily, I was blessed with such a great team! Now, for my product team, VMOS (Vision Mission Objective and Strategy, I need to submit the Lecture guidelines for the module that we are crafting by Tuesday. Then, for my Client Engagement Team (E-team), I need to submit an SLE with lectures on monday. Finally and most recently, I was appointed Deputy for the up and coming Department of Education Leadership Convention which is to be held in Baguio for 5 days starting August 16. That task needs me to lead a team of 7 people to create a full module of SLE's and lectures for one whole day of the convention. The task should be completed by Saturday, even though the convention is a month off. There you have it, my org work! hahaha...

For my Acads, my most urgent concern is our 1st accounting Long Exam on thursday! To add to that, I need to read and memorize chapter 3 of our very thick Psych Book in order to be ready for the Quiz-bee on tuesday. I also have to finish my homework in statistics which is due on monday. Social Anthropology became my first casualty this sem as I failed my first quiz so I really need to read that! For LS 10, the industry research project is so damn hard and demanding, not to mention, time-consuming! Sci 10 has been boring but I still have to read 50+ pages... Finally, I need to brush up on my spanish! Ah Mierda!

Now, my life wouldn't be a life without sports. I am included in 2 teams for the IAC Futsal. I have a game on monday, 2 games on wednesday(The eve of the Accounting LT) and another game on friday! This poses a problem as I have to schedule a lot of meetings for Strains and I have a lot of things to read! This is stressing as I type this entry. Oh well, we'll see if I can last the week!

buena suerte!

this is a cute and touching story...

Two teenagers goin over 100 mph onmotorcycle..
Girl: Slow down. I'm scared.
Guy: No, this is fun.
Girl: No, it's not. Please, it's too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.*Girl hugs him*
Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it onyourself? It's bugging me.

(In the paper the next day):

"A motorcycle crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on it, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him & felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die."

Damn... Love... Enough said...

2006-06-25T19:26:00.000+08:00

I lost my wallet again...

I'm so stupid that I misplaced my wallet and I have no idea where it is... My wallet contained my DRIVER'S LICENSE, money, pictures, membership cards, and a key to my drawer.... Damn!!!!!! How can I let this happen again???? argh! I am personally grounding myself by not driving for a month even if I obtain my license again.... Argh!

stupid stupid stupid!!!!

2006-06-19T20:44:00.000+08:00

Orsem has passed and I still cannot get over it... The severe exhaustion and dehydration brought about by running around and screaming and dancing pales in comparison to the euphoric feeling of seeing your freshmen happy and energized... "Shame" is not included in the vocabulary of the people on top of the monoblock chairs, dancing like there's no tomorrow. Energy, once invisible to the naked eye, is seen everywhere in shades of pink, violet and white.

To the TNT's...

Giving up was always an option. There's always a chance that you end up with a bitchy freshie, a very uncooperative one, a lazy LOG, or sometimes an overbearing one... There's always a chance that your freshmen won't listen to you and not follow, but there you were, fighting, striving to keep your freshies happy... You never gave up... You did everything you can and because of that, you succeeded... Never think that you failed you freshies or your co-TNT's... You were out there, working your butt off, shedding not only perspiration but tears as well; but still you smiled. You did it! You made it happen! Those freshies would not have gotten a warmer welcome with a different group of people... They loved you.. they all love you.. and they will continuously do so...

Thank you... That Orsem experience was something else...

TNT-ing

2006-06-16T15:12:00.000+08:00

I'm selling a Yamaha Acoustic Guitar Model C-40 for my friend! It's in great condition! It comes with a case already. It's as good as new! It was rarely used! I'm selling it for 6000 Pesos. It's original price is pegged at roughly 9000 pesos. That's a great bargain already! Is anyone interested? My final selling price is negotiable! It can go as low as 5000! Believe me when I say that this guitar is in great condition! If you are interested, leave a message on the tag board or text me at 09106750553! My friends, if you know anyone who may be interested, give me a ring! Thanks a lot!!!

2006-06-09T14:12:00.000+08:00

Orsem is in a few days! This is going to be fun! hehehe... One sad thing though, Nica's going to Boracay tomorrow! I'll miss you! take care! Love you!

Belated Happy Birthday Mian! 19 ka na! hahaha.. LOG partner! galingan natin sa orsem! hehehe...

2006-06-08T10:27:00.000+08:00

I know I've been so busy lately. I know that you feel neglected since we haven't been talking much for the past weeks. To tell you the truth, it has affected me too. I'm really sorry. But please don't think that I don't love you anymore or I don't care about you. Even though I'm busy with meetings and trainings, I still make it a point to text you or call you. I'm sorry, my line is still cut and I’m reduced to my prepaid SIM which limits my calls and texts that's why I can't call you that much. I'm really very sorry. I hope you understand.

Now I know that you've been waiting for a long entry and here it is. It's June 8. It was the 2nd day of ORSEM last year. It was the day we were first linked together by Tara, Lester and Cams. Now we have known each other for 6 months and yet I still feel that I have yet to make you fall in-love with me completely and that makes my life more challenging and very exciting. Love does not stop once a person says "I Love You"; it's a continuous cycle of making your partner fall in-love with you more or fall in-love with you again. Now with us, that's going to be tough given that fact that we fight all the time. Still, it brings me great pleasure to see you happy though I feel like shit whenever you are disappointed or mad. Recent events have kept me from talking to you as much as we used to and for that I'm sorry.

In two days, you will be leaving for Boracay and stay there for 3 days. In six days, I'll be in the Ateneo running around with a bunch of freshmen on my trail. That gives me only tomorrow and Monday morning to talk to you since I absolutely cannot use my cellphone during Orsem. What makes matters worse is that today I'm scheduled for a sleepover meeting to finish our overdue product for Strains. Now what am I going to do? I honestly don't know. If ever I do go, I can load up 300 pesos worth of load and use it all in one night just so I can talk to you but I know that you would not be happy about that then leave in the morning so we can spend the rest of the day talking. Would that be ok? I hope so. But I still have to talk to you about it.

I love you. I'm sorry for putting you through this. After the Orsem, you wouldn't have to worry anymore. Please don't think that I don't love you. I do love you and I miss you so much. It has been hard for me too especially since I see you having a rough time. I'm still here for you. That will never change. I hope you can forgive me. I love you Nica.

Ingat ka sa Boracay ah! Hehehe… Watch out for those pedophile foreigners and those over eager Filipinos. Once they go overboard, you can always use your judo training and you brute strength to take them down. All the boys in the block will agree to that since you've beaten half of us in arm wrestling. If your strength won't work, you can always call your dad and tell him to bring out his shotgun. If that still won't work, I'll do it myself though I don't know how since you are stronger then me. We can tag-team them. Pin them down and I'll razor kick their heads and Balls. Hehehe… Anyway, I do hope you have fun there. I love you!

2006-06-07T20:02:00.000+08:00

It's been a while.. I've been really busy and I have no intentions of slowing down.. I have to hype myself up for the ORSEM! Anyone from Block P3 here? hahaha...

I finished registration earlier... I have 20 units this sem... I'll be taking up Business Stat, Accounting, Spanish, Psych, Social Anthropology, Science 10 and philippine business and economic environment A.K.A LS 10. Anyway, I'm so excited for the ORSEM.. But it's still one week away and I still have a lot to finish.. owel...

2006-05-27T16:39:00.000+08:00

The end of summer school is nearing and I am so excited! I still won't get to rest though since I have a lot to do. TNT training is from June 2-4, I have an overnight meeting with my Product team in Strains, then ORSEM on June 13-15 and of course, the pending Block EK trip on June 5. I really hope that pushes through! Oh yeah, I also learned that we are going to have 9 new blockmates.. Sadly Cams and Praxe have left the Management course and have shifted to the less-challenging Management-Honors course. Hahaha... Also, Fren, Shell are not coming back... And 1 blockmate has been kicked out... Well, that's what we (the remaining P1 are thinking).. Owel...

Right now, I'm working on our group powerpoint for the up and coming Management report for ITM class on Tuesday @ 2:30pm. I'm ashamed to say that I feel that I contributed the least to our group. I'm grouped with Mian and Jau and I need to step up a bit when I'm with them. I predict that when the panel asks to to "grade our groupmates", I will get the lowest grade. I was told that we would not be allowed to give each other similar grades, one has to be the highest and lowest. Anyway, I admit that I do deserve the lowest grade. I'm dishing out my best to create this powerpoint but it won't be enough... Jau and Mian do deserve the credit! I think even Mian is creating a back-up powerpoint just in case I dont do it.. haha... Anyway, wish us luck...

Yo P1! Tag here if you are coming to EK and if you know who else are coming.. I need to count how many are going.. Oh, and if you can bring a car [esp Dondee, Jau, Ralph, Mark, Marts], please do... thanks.. :D

2006-05-23T20:26:00.000+08:00

I watched coach carter the other day. It's an old movie and if you haven't watched it, make sure you take time to watch it since its a feel good movie.

I got this message from the movie...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness the most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us but in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same and we are liberated from our own fear. Our presence automatically liberates others. ~ Timo Cruz

that's food for the thought... What a nice message. I won't delve into details that says everything it want's to say. No need for elaboration. hehehe...

What a day! Stressful but fun! Anyway, we were given free cuts both tomorrow and thursday in ITM class. I hope I can watch xmen given the free time!

I'm going to be a TNT!

2006-05-22T16:16:00.000+08:00

YES! I got in! hehehe... I actually got a big scare when I didn't see my name on the posted list but i later on got a text from one of the core members telling me that she made a mistake when she printed the list and that I was actually accepted! yey! hehehe.. I'm so happy! My hardwork payed off after all!

Anyway, I received great reactions about my hair. Hehehe... My hair is similar to my hair way back when I was in highschool but these people have not yet seen that hair since I had long hair even as I entered the Ateneo. I like it. I should like it considering the money I spent to have my hair cut. You want to try it? The salon is emphasis in rockwell. Expensive but it's worth the money I guess.. Heck, some of the employees there look richer then me. Hahaha... Anyway, that's all I want to say... I have a lot of things to do right now.. goodluck to me!

Guitar-ing

2006-05-21T12:35:00.000+08:00

After a long wait, I finally bought a new set of guitar strings. My previous ones had black nylon strings, now I have gold nylon strings. If any of you are interested, the brand is La Bella. It is probably the best guitar string producer ever. The sound is excellent! But be warned, the price can be steep. hehe...

Anyway, I've been singing this song since yesterday morning. It's not a popular song (yet) as proven by searches in google and yahoo which returned no results. The band is Same Same (The twins from The moffats compose the band) and the song is Love isn't. It's a great song! Trust me!

LOVE ISN'T - Same Same
Do you ever wake up in the morning alone?
And do you ever wish that there was some way you could stay at home?
With somebody who loves you and needs you
With somebody who helps to complete you
But I've made mistakes and I know for sure
I wont' forget to remember

chorus:
Love isn't always as you see it
Love isn't always as you dream it should be
Love isnt' always gonna find you
But this is love
Cause you're all I'm thinking of

I wanna tell you I'm sorry
I didn't mean that
I wanna say I love you
But will I hear those words come back
From somebody who loves me and needs me
From somebody who helps to complete me

But there's one concern that I must consider
Before I start to paint my picture

(repeat chorus)

I'm gonna take my chance
I'm gonna lay my heart out of the line (on the line this time)
I'm gonna love you endlessly
But I'll keep this in the back of my mind

(repeat chorus)

Download it if you can. But it's hard to find a copy in limewire.

TNT interview

2006-05-20T19:35:00.000+08:00

What a day... It was the dreaded 20th of May, the day I was scheduled to be interviewed as an Alien in order to become a TNT for the '06 ORSEM.

Here's how the interview went!

My Alien Costume: Yellow Basketball Jersey with matching Yellow shorts that is 2-3 inches above my knee with a no parking sign placed strategically in front(short shorts to the max), Long Yellow Soccer Socks, Yellow Boxing Gloves, Soccer shoes, A huge Gold Medal (The NCAA Medal), Yellow Bandana, a white Matchbox car and then I painted half of my face Yellow. Can you imagine? If I come to school like that, I'll find out ho my real friends are, those who won't disown me! haha..

Anyway, I had to be there 10 minutes before the interview. I met the guy who was to be interviewed before me, he was dressed as a genie or something but he still looked alien. We talked even if we didn't know each other then I wished him luck as he entered the room. 5 minutes later, this girl came by carrying a paper mache alienhelmet and costume. She asked me if I was also there for the interview and I said yes. We talked about the interview at first then we both fell silent, maybe because we were both nervous.

Finally, I was called in. The guy (Brian) who came before me and the girl (Joanna) who was going to be next wished me luck as I entered.

interview proper
As I entered the room, the lights were turned off and there was a long table on the other end of the room with 5 people sitting behind it with serious looks on their faces.
They were from L-R: Martin, Aisa, Jeff, Audrey and Shar. I knew everyone except Audrey but I knew that this was no time for jokes and stuff.

Jeff: Hello! So sino ka? Ipakilala mo ang sarili mo sa amin.
Me: Hi! ako si Clone # 1, 652 kami magkakapatid at ako ang panganay sa aming pamilya. Galing ako sa planet No Parking (Point to no parking sign on shorts), napaalis nga lang ako dahil ako ay bumili ng isang car from another planet (Shows matchbox car and puts it near no parking sign)

Marts: So ano naman ang superpowers mo?
Me:Well, kasi, sa planeta namin, magaling talaga kami sa sports, dun ako malakas eh. May telepathy powers din ako kaso nawala nung pumunta ako sa earth.

Jeff: Ok, now get a piece of paper on the leftmost box behind you. Hand it to us, do not read the question.
Jeff: Ok, now can you tell us the different clusters of organizations in the Ateneo and give us 3 examples 4 each.
Me: There's the BOA cluster ( I gave AMA AJMA and LEX), The Ateneo Science Guild but I don't know the orgs there. I think there's this Chemistry Society (Wrong answer since Chem Soc is from LSGH.
Jeff:Ano ulit?
Me: Ah, di ako sure dun sa orgs sa ASG eh.
Jeff: So ano pa?
Me:Yung Publications cluster andun yung Matanglawin, Guidon and the rest hindi ko na alam. Then yung SOA kung nasaan yung kythe, musmos (i forgot the 3rd org I mentioned)
Jeff: Yun lang? Ok, andami mong kulang...
(I left out the ICE cluster)
Jeff:Kumuha ka ulit ng question from the 1st box

Jeff: Okay, coming from Lasalle, what do you think about the Ateneo-Lasalle rivalry? Answer in straight english.
Me: Well personally, I feel that the rivalry has become exagerrated over the years especially since most of the alumni have been verbally abusing each other if not physically hurting each other. I feel that the verbal and physical confrontations are not necessary anymore.
Jeff: But don't you think that the rivalry is good for our country because it promotes competition?
Me:I don't think it's good if people are fighting over college basketball and if alumni sink to verbal taunting when losing or something like that. Things get blown out of proportion and that is not good for our country. Sure, college basketball is good when we see players fight it out on the court but it's depressing to see alumni who get so involved that people get hurt already. For me, competition is not competition when players and non-layers alike backbite and hurt each other.
Jeff: Read this paper (Points to paper in front of him near a light bulb
Me: "If you can read this you are too close. Move Back" (and so I moved back)
Jeff: now can you get a paper from the second box and give it to me

Jeff: Okay, imagine that you are a TNT, you have a freshie, Martin, who comes from Mindanao and who can't speak a word of english and Shar, who is from hong kong who can't speak a word of tagalog, let's say that you are facilitating a GD, how are you going to react? Keep in mind that you have 1 LOG assistant and a co-TNT and other freshies. Now Let's see. Freshies go! (Martin and shar go up front and act their roles)
(Martin goes around the room acting like a muslim kneeling down and not minding me, shar walks around the room ranting in straight english)
Me: Guys, settle down. Martin, upo ka na, may GD tayo!
(Both of them continued their acting, suddenly, Audrey came in screaming that he was a guy from another block and he started wrestling martin, while Shar went into "convulsions".
Me: Log, paki asikaso yung guy from another block at si shar. Marts, ok ka lang?
(Shar fainted then Audrey went to her and he gave her an ankle lock)
Me: LOG LOG! Asikasuhin ninyo yung guy from the other block please!
Jeff: Ok, thank you freshies. ( the 3 return to their seats)

Jeff: Grade yourself from 1-10
Me: 6
Jeff: why?
Me: Because I wan't able to handle the situation very well and I panicked
(Then jeff goes on pointing to what I did right and what I did wrong and he told me some ORSEM rules)
Audrey: What do you think went wrong with the situation?
Me: I reacted slowly
Audrey:Yes you are right. Remember that these things can happen and there is no time to waste when things like these happen. (he said more things but it would be too long to writre here)

Audrey: For your final task, Jose, (realizes mistake but its correct either way) Miggy, since boksingero ka, you box while singing the song of barney in a kikay way! alam mo naman yung song diba?
Me: Yes ( Then I proceeded to shadowbox while singing the song)
Audrey: Ngayon naman, kantahin mo yung kanta ni manny pacquiao while boxing
(I proceeded to dance while Audrey yelled instructions)

Me:(Shadow boxing while singing)
Audrey: Babaan mo ang boses mo
Audrey: Babaan mo pa
Audrey: Ok, ngayon monster kalaban mo
Me: (Punching the something big and tall while singing)
Audrey: Ginugulpi ka na
Me: (Pretending to be hit while singing)

World Cup, Life Driving

2006-05-16T21:39:00.000+08:00

I have a fever! World Cup Fever! Yeah! I'm corny! hehe.. Anyway, I can't wait for the world cup to start and now I'm trying to get anything that's connected to my favorite team, who I predict to win their 6th world cup, Brazil!!! Brazil develops the best football players in the world. I once dreamt of being as great as Pele, or Ronaldo and now Ronaldinho and Robinho. Wouldn't it be great to have a great Filipino football player named Zaballero? Wahahaha.. dream on kiddo!

So far, I have 3 Brazil items!!

- A Green Brazil Wrist Cuff from Nike

- A Yellow Brazilian themed shirt from Nike

- A pair of blue, Brazil Havaianas!

I'm going to get my hands on as many as I can. No matter the cost! Right now, I have my eyes set on the Brazil Bag from Adidas! it's expensive though; but that bag would complete one school outfit for me already! (There aren't any Brazil Pants so a shirt, footwear and eccesories will do) hehehe... Owel... I have to save up then!

Well, others might not feel the same way since Filipinos are not very fond of the world's most popular sport primarily because of it's length and lack of support from local officials. What a waste!

Anyway, as I was driving home, I realized that learning how to drive gave me a few pointers in life...

1. Be patient - Here in the Philippines, where traffic can get so heavy that you can almost take a nap behind the wheel without risking your life and limb, it's important to be patient. Sometimes when you are stuck in a major traffic jam and you switch lanes since your lane does not seem to move, you find your previous lane moving right after you transfer to another lane and what makes it worse is that the lane you transferred to has already stopped. Sucks doesn't it? But it happens. Without patience, I'd lose my sanity in the vehicle.

2. Forgive and Forget - Filipino drivers are notoriously reckless. A lot of people are almost always on the rush zig-zagging in and out of the lanes to get to their destinations faster while the public utility vehicles such as taxis and jeepneys are out to kill. Bus drivers here are all guilty of multiple frustrated murders of drivers of smaller vehicles. But let's forgive them. They are either just doing their job or they are late and are on their way to their jobs. We really cannot do anything to change their ways since most of them are unschooled which is one of the main reasons why they are simply drivers. their recklessness is given and it is one thing we must live with. If I dont learn to forgive, then I'd be enemies with half of the population already.

3. "The fastest way between 2 points is a straight line" - This geometric term and rule applies to both driving and life. When driving, one must avoid going through too many turns, too many lefts and rights. Aside from the risk of getting lost, it adds travel time (it's probably the reason why Filipino's are always late). In life, these twists and turns keep us from attaining our goals but at the same time, they teach us the right way. As in driving, when we get lost, we learn a lesson. Same thing goes for life. We make a wrong turn, we get lost, we learn, then we reach our goals. If we keep to the right path, the straight path, we get there quickly and safely.

4. Concentrate - One of the most important lessons that I have learned. Concentration is a key factor to driving. I have learned that I must not let billboards of half-naked women take my eyes away from the road and I have learned not to get pissed at the Hang-Ten billboard of a guy wearing just his underwear that used to stand somewhere along katipunan. I cannot lose my concentration otherwise I might lose something more important, my life probably.

5. Be alert - With traffic and road rules considered as "optional" in this country, I have learned to be alert. My dad taught me to always look 50-100 meters ahead at times to see if there are any obstructions and accidents wherever. But then I also learned to look nearby and watch out for darting children (and adults at times) and swerving vehicles and the like. Just like in life, it's important to look forward into the future to see what's in store for you but it's equally important to look nearby, into the present to see if there are any possible hindrances for you to reach that certain goal.

6. Be Humble - Not because you drive a luxury vehicle does not mean that you can have your way on the road. Also, let's not get our prejudices get the better of us. Some people get insulted whenever a femal driver overtakes them. What for? Women, as they have shown since time immemorial, have the capabilities to outshine the men. They can be as good as us or even better so let us not be insulted when a female driver overtakes us. In life, having all the luxuries in the world wont necessarily win you your friends nor will it give you everything you want, it's your personality that will last and its your personality, not your money that would win you the truest friends. As a line from my favorite poem says... "If you can walk with kings nor lose the common touch... Then yours is the earth and everything that's in it...~ rudyard kipling" A lot of money can only take you so far, but even just an ounce of humility will take you to places that money cannot buy.

Happy
