Keep SMILING.
Keep SHINING.

Keep me in your heart. (:
I'll be out of reach now.

Because the darn lectures give me nightmares.

2009-09-07T05:46:00.001-07:00

It's just now that i wanted to share something about my college life, well, partly because i wanted to release all the sentiments i have. Well, actually, i'm loving it now, because i believe, i can't do otherwise cause it gives me negative outlooks and it only yields unproductive results. Well, i have friends now, not plenty but i already have those whom i can trust with what i do and say. I already have two failed exams- and worse, majors pa. I got super low scores in stoichiometry because i spent studying at McDo and stayed there until 3am. The same happened when we've had the first exam for Bio Lec, i got only half of the correct answers. I am super depressed now because i darn need to cope up. Preregistrations for the next sem is now open and i can't log in to my account!- why oh why?

There's too much things i need to worry about this time, and the thought of sem break relieves it all. I'm loving biology though, and hating chemistry. Everything else follows for me. Math is a pinch of sugar, spice and everything nice.

HIATUS.

I'M OFF.

UPgrade.

2009-08-14T04:05:00.000-07:00

Dedicated to: VTN & TQD
(a shock absorber for me)

UPgrade. UPgrade.

WE EXIST. The UPMin exists. People may not care to notice the existence of the University of the Philippines in Mindanao, but we exist not only to exist, we exist because we excel.

(too many "exists")

I am not a good writer, partially because what I see is seemingly too perfect for words to describe. I am not a good speaker for what I feel is tantamount to what is beyond human expression.

What I just wanted to point out is that what others see may not always be what they mean.
That's just too vague. But see, UP Mindanao is beyond any false judgments bitter people have.
We are the best. And I am not hesitant to say that, because truly, I say, UP Mindanao upholds excellence.

You may find no relevance for me to brag this and talk publicly about this but I just wanted to release all my sentiments. If you find no right for the UPMin to exist, think about your school, I mean, how could you possibly exist in the first place?

UP Mindanao is not at the center of the city, you ask why? We just find no fancy of situating at the heart of it and going to malls while skipping classes. We are not that airhead to do so. But being at the "bukid" (if that's what you want to call it) is not like we are living at the Paleolithic Age, if you say so VTN & TQD. Our microscopes are at the ratio 1:1, we have wi-fi all over the campus, our professors have Ph.D.'s in different international universities, our chancellor is a pioneer in plant physiology researches and we are the champions (or finalists) in different national quiz bees and contests (and everything nice).

VTN & TQD: Before you judge UPMin, think about your school first because you might end up choking with your own words. Don't ever ridicule us again because you are not in the position to do that after all. That's just so mediocre darling. Watch your mouth, it does not say anything good. Look inside your brain, it seems to be like a balloon, so cute and pumped with JUST air- nothing more.

Pray for Cory

Pagod na akong magising ng alas singko ng umaga araw-araw. Ayaw ko nang pumasok sa 7am kong klase na nagyeyelo ang classroom. Pagod na akong magbasa. Pagod na akong magsulat. Pagod na akong magkwenta. Pagod na akong mag-isip. OA noh? First year pa nga lang. akala mo kung sino nang nagte-thesis. Naninibagao lang siguro ako.

Ayaw ko nang magkwento about sa school. Siguro baka mamisinterpret pa ng iba o ano pa man. Siguro tungkol na lang sa mga tao sa paligid-ligid. Para silang mga trumpong nagbabanggaan. Para silang hot and spicy na pizza. Masarap tignan, pero pag natikman mo, maaaring mailuwa mo agad. Sino ang mga taong to? Sikreto. Alam ko kung sino ang mga nasa isip mo ngayon- pero mali ka. Sabi kong iba na tong kinukwento ko eh.

Makulit.

Wag na lang nga.

Kitakits next time.

If you read this, I require you to turn your speakers on.

Thank you.

Two weeks. I’ve spent two weeks now. And I’m glad I’m still glad, not the type of glad that you can consider happy. Happiness is somewhat relative, because for me, happiness is high school.

Enough said. Come on. College life sucks. Admit it. I know some won’t totally agree, but I’m talking about myself here- neither about you nor of the whole. This is utterly about how I struggle to adjust in this doomed pandemonium. And if you only knew how much I miss home and high school, I reckon you would completely understand why.

College and high school. If you compare these two, you are more likely comparing a dandelion to a rose. I cannot put into words what the difference is, really. In college, I got all the freedom I badly wanted when I was just in high school. But the essence isn’t there anymore, not with the people I wanted to spend it with.

Now you actually knew how much I wanted to go back and spend high school over and over again. I loved being a high school student. And I’ll always will.

High school is where my heart is. Because when I’m in high school, it’s like I’m home.

MIND OVER MATTER

2009-06-10T08:06:00.000-07:00

tel·e·ki·ne·sis (tl-k-nss, -k-)

NOUN:

The movement of objects by scientifically inexplicable means, as by the exercise of an occult power.

-American Heritage Dictionary

TELEKINESIS. PSYCHOKINESIS. Whatever the term is, I am really fascinated by how inanimate objects are moved by people without physical contact. Scientists conclude that about only 70% of the human brain is used in our daily life and the 30% remains debatable as to where it lies. They say this hidden "capacity" is actually an energy which stays idle until such time that it is being exercised or developed. I hope so, and believed that telekinesis does not involve occult or supernatural powers. If so, I wouldn't want to ever learn how it is being done. I know, some telikenetic experts use occult powers and I also believe that there are those who plainly use the unexplainable energy I hope I soon could discover.

I reckon some of you would laugh or even make jokes out of this but hey, before the Wright brothers could fly their planes, they were called names such as crazy and dumbheads. Perhaps in the last part, this thing might not be factual but as long as it is not verified yet, it is still worth studying. Telekinesis might alter the way how we look at certain things in life and how things might turn out after all.

See you soon.

Did you know?

Just "Lalalala"

2009-05-28T19:32:00.000-07:00

After having some bore to death and stiff routines, I finally had the nerve to write again here. Well, nothing had really shaken me off like a bad nightmare would, and nothing really good ensued in my life these past days.

“A leaf in its fatality falls and touches the ground

Now- I’m falling and I don’t want to be like a leaf

Not because I’m afraid of hitting the ground-

But because leaves, after falling

Can never go back to where they came from.”

I saw this written in red ink in one of my HS notebooks and it makes me cringe every time I remember I once wrote this. ha-ha. Moot point, I guess… It’s not always like that, is it?

Well. It’s just now that I can truly say that I’m trilled for college. Actually, I made a to-do-list for the first semester.

1. Create or bond an acoustic band for freshies (since we are not allowed to join any university-acknowledged organizations yet)

2. Study hard or harder, if necessary (because my sister betted our GWAs for honor’s list versus dean’s list)

3. Collect shoes. (allowance eater!)

4. Eat a lot! (because I really don’t want to get sick there and mom would go like overreacting)

5. Catch enough Zzzz’s (since I’m still a freshie and I suppose when I get to upperclasses soon, I can’t sleep sufficiently anymore)

6. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! (as long as it won’t spoil my academic feats)

*crossed fingers*

Well what do you think? I guess I’m on the bridge of my metamorphosis right now… more like tossed in the point of no return instead. What else could there be behind those dreams? What more will I have to expect?

Uncertainties bring enough frustrations to the heart. Frustrations have once knocked me off but I won’t let it anymore- for all they cared.

jue and I. Some time in Kulambog adventure. Missed it already.

See you soon.

I'm officially enrolled. That wasn't easy though, marami kasi kaming obstacles na pinagdaanan. Nakakatawa nga lang, sa lahat ng documents, kailangan ng signature. And everytime i was going to sign, tinatago ko. But one time, pinasa ko yung form 5 ko sa registrar and she saw my signature, tinanong niya, "pirma 'to?". I nodded shyly and she gave me that concerned look. Nag-isip ata siya kung dapat ba akong iturn-over sa guidance counselor. Oh mehhn.

Anyway, okay naman. Kaso, ngayon pa lang, nararamdaman ko na ang UP air. Napakahangin ng mga tao. But I'm not being judgmental. Kay ngano man? Kay matuod.

Well. Hindi ko alam kung anong kahihinatnan ng first semester ko pero isa lang naman ang inaasam ko. Sana di ako kaagad magka singko.

I finally decided i wanna marry jason mraz! OMG. His songs are just these totally and utterly fabuloso and awesome it just makes me wanna stare at him singing like... oooooh. And if angels sing, they would definitely sound like him!

just look at him!oohhh..

Anyway, so this is goodbye i'm not gonna update this blog until classes start. And why? just feel like it, y'know. I want to venture out from this cyberworld because i reckon that real world is just more amazing than this virtual world where you all [perhaps not all, but most] are seen in two dimension and just that. I don't know what i'm saying but it's somehow like that. I want to spend time with real people, as in physically seen people. haha. anyway, i'm preparing for my college life [e.g. lodging, enrolment, subjects and prospected friends]. Well anyway, my sister's going to graduate on 22, and i surely don't wanna miss that. I want to know how they do their commencement ceremonies of course, without those traditional togas but with those what they call "sablai".

I'm gonna be there kuya oble! Badly wanted to go there now. Anyway, on 19 we'll have this so-called "farewell party" for our hs class but i do not know if i'm going there actually. I want to see them but i don't know if that's worth my while. *gasps* well, really, actually, we can see each other in some other time right? well, i dunno. my mind might as well change.

see you soon. when college starts.

ang tagal ko ring pinag-isipan kung ano ang dapat kong sabihin ngayon. Wala naman kasing interesting sa buhay ko ngayon, walang enjoyment o boring for short. Nandito ako sa bahay 24/7 nakaharap lang sa pc at nakikinig sa mga kanta ni jason mraz o taylor swift. Naghahanap rin ako ng makakausap, andami kung gustong sabihin pero ewan... wala eh. side effect lang siguro ng pagiging antisocial.

Napag-isip-isip ko kagabi, bago matulog, gusto ko mag-mature. Gusto kong lumabas sa shell ko, kumbaga, explore life in a new direction. Ayoko nang makulong sa mundo ng iba at mas lalong ayaw ko nang magtago sa anino ng "others". *laughs* Pero totoo, ayaw ko nang mabuhay para lang i-please yung mga tao sa paligid ko.

Did i make sense?

Wala ako sa mood. My head aches. dang.

I need to accomplish all the college admission requirements anyway, and i need my full time to do it, perhaps, this week will be filled with school scheds. Anyway, but it's holy week right? I don't know but i have to complete the requirements. And oh, yeah, being a non-catholic, well, holy week will just be the same as ordinary to me except that there will sure be no friends or something like that who would text me every minute all because they're spending the holy week "holy".

2009-03-30T23:52:00.000-07:00

It’s just today that I decided to write a tribute post to my high school friends. You know, I really don’t know how to start, partially because we’ve had so many experiences together and I can’t really dig into my poor memory and put it all together like fixing a puzzle or something like that [this is so stupid].

Anyway, so this is it, you know, I can’t really imagine my high school life without them. No, well, I guess I really can’t survive. You may say I’m like sooo overacting but I think it’s just the way it is, you know. Yeah, maybe I can still go to school without them and eat, talk, walk and think without them. But that’s just utterly boring and dull, you know, and maybe I’ll be one of those few people who’d say “HS life sucks”, yeah, nonetheless.

[now, count the number of times I said “you know” haha]

Well, they’ve accepted me as who I am and they’ve been there for almost every time. The people whom I shared my heartaches with, the people who shed their tears with me and of course the people whom I cast my smiles with… the people who understood my limitations and brought out all my capacities. They did not leave my side even when sometimes I act like I don’t care at all. They are amazing you know, they’re just like that. They painted colours to the canvas of my high school life.

Featuring: Norman & Janin(i can't remember a day which he hadn't made me laugh)

Eldridge: my brother-ish. and my very good copy reader.:))

Class mayor princess and janin: she's a great listener and a good friend.

Eduardo w/ hmm... : he's my over-all friendship and love adviser.:)

Jhazvee and janin: she makes pranks on me..;] i'll miss it.

Aireen and janin: i'll truly miss her laughter.;(

Faith with janin: she's a friend since elementary. she's someone i can lean on.

Jue w/ janin: my twin sister-ish. i'll truly miss her company.:(

And at last! I got these graduation photos from the yearbook photographer.

during our graduation song "High School Life"

with my mom and dad beside me..:))

that's during the "class picture"..:))

janin: Close your mouth! haha

I'm so snob! hmmm

HK prejudice

2009-03-30T03:50:00.000-07:00

"Tsao’s column depicted the Philippines as a 'Nation of Servants' not worthy of claiming the Spratlys from China , as the latter employs hundreds of thousands of Filipino domestic helpers on very low wages."

I can't deny the feeling of hatred when I read his article published last March 27 on HK magazine where he slammed Filipinos below the belt specifically pertaining to Filipino workers abroad just to show that China has the right to own the Spratlys island. Oh, c'mon Mr. Chip Tsao! Your country is more pathetic than ours, not to mention your trying hard china brands, your smuggled imitated products... China is the pioneer in "Nation of Imitation". So just stay away from us and shut your big fat gob up.

[oh, God, forgive me.]

Just before i could totally hate China, well, i read this post and i realized that this is actually not China vs. Philippines... This is just Tsao vs. Filipinos.

Here's why and just follow this:

I miss them badly anyway, but the burrrning [did i just say burning? no, that's killing] the killing heat of the sun forbid me to go. Well, I'll see them again soon, I think, maybe tomorrow, I'll be going there to finish my final clearance for the release of cards.

So, with nothing to do here in the house, I reviewed all the videos stored in the videocam and what do you expect, you know, it's just full of high school memories captured there and all the happiness is just coming back to me. The videos reminded me of one ridiculous thing: the film we did just this first quarter of 2009.

film poster.Find me.;))

Well, we've had so many learned experiences during the film-making process. We became professional-ish, haha, well, we felt like, oooohhhh..."we must do this right." And that was just one of the highlights of my high school life. I just badly miss the taping days.

Cue in:

See you soon.

Good? Bye.

Overnight Breakup

It was funny and a sort of foolishness anyway, that was so stupid. Actually, it’s like something I don’t want to stick with every single time but then when I get off the grasp, I find myself empty. Yea, that’s weird anyway, and for the benefit of the doubt, yes, I confess, I am just selfish. We “broke up” just 2 days before the graduation and then that night I have decided that I should get rid of him, for myself and for myself [how self-ish?]. Yea, and I actually made this:

But. Wth. We’re back to business. Again.

Last day in HS

I expected it to be fun, well, but it was just like, ookayyyy… ordinary. Nothing more special like I was really wanting.

anin.jue.goofing around. Last day of hs.:(

Graduation Time

I was kinda emotional especially on the eve of graduation day. I was like, "oooh, those good old days... I can't bring them back anymore.." Yeah, well, text messages from classmates flooded my phone saying "good-byes, thank yous and sorry-s... Well, then there are others who wished like the day will just go away like...boom.

flowers given to my "lucky" friends during our mighty graduation.

a stupid-self-taken photograph with the photogenic flowers.

I don't have any graduation picture so i was just hoping somebody could upload it elsewhere so i could just copy it. How pathetic, isn't it? It's my sister's fault, anyway... She's my official photographer and videographer. But what has she done? Just those few videos with all the closeups of my classmates. aurgh.

So, I'll just post this what-a-shame video. It's cornnnyyy. XD

Disclaimer: comment all you can... but i know this video was pathetically edited. my apologies. with all the narrations and stuff. [oh, God, forgive me]

See you soon.

Tomorrow

2009-03-26T03:02:00.001-07:00

I'll be posting lots of updates and videos next week.

Anyway, we'll have our graduation tomorrow. I'm excited and at the same time emotional. eeeep! I'll totally miss my high school life.:)

See you soon.
-JL

Hit and Miss.

A new haircut [I’ve been planning this for weeks now and it’s just today that I’ve got the initiative to go to the salon and fulfil my plan]. Yeah, well, so how was it? Darn! Wth. [para akong tibo].

*tears*

Anyway, have you ever seen a dog that’s hyperventilating? Yeah, H-Y-P-E-R-V-E-N-T-I-L-A-T-I-N-G. Well, you got to see my dog. I don’t know if he’s playing dead or something but I don’t actually think it’s like that. Sometimes, he plays like there’s no tomorrow and then suddenly, he drops to the ground and howls like he’s been captured or something with eyes closed. And then for a minute his body stiffens and that’s the time when me, super janin goes to the rescue and screams for mom and dad [then after that, the dog (i.e. Zambo) just gets up like there’s nothing had happened and goes back licking his coat].

Well. Yesterday, we went to Tuka, Bagumbayan [the place where carabaos rule, ha-ha]. Anyway, things didn’t happen as what we have presumed [i.e. carabao and motorcycle accidents]. Yeah, plans were altered and we didn’t have something to do there, anyway, we just had talks and all. However, there’s something we gained there actually, and that’s the experience. Yeah, well, there’s nothing more thrilling than riding the karo (a carabao-driven-pull-cart) and crossing a mud-thick river with overload and over-noisy passengers [there’s also the countless stop-overs just to grab photo ops].
It was great, though.

See you soon.
-JL.

10 days before the end.

So this is my maiden video post. I made this for just 15 minutes because I badly wanted a sleep and that’s because my zits are invading my face and that’s what I hated most about being a teenager.

starring: norman, jue, janin, eld, narci

Violent reactions regarding the video will not be entertained [period] :)).[ha-ha]

Memories are Cheap

2009-03-19T21:23:00.000-07:00

We are now spending the rest of the “school days” practicing our graduation songs (i.e. High School Life by Sopiz, Time after time by Inoj and Who am I by the Casting Crown). It sounds funny though, I can’t even see the point of singing the songs over and over and over again with the whole batch and making these funny actions and interpretations just to entertain ourselves because without those it would be just as boring as you thought you could never imagine.

Anyway, I decided to learn more about movie editing this vacation [you know, I deeply wanted to engage myself to anything that involves cameras or something]. And I wanted to make this blog more like a video blog but that’s just a plan and I reckon that my plans are just imaginations and imaginations do not necessarily guarantee the idea of reality. It goes like that anyway [but somehow doesn’t].

So, since we don’t have anything more to do in school, everybody is doing anything they want to do before their high school life ends (i.e. dating with their girlfriends/boyfriends, doing photo shoots in between practice, confessing their feelings to their crushes, etc.) And me? If not standing in that one corner, I’ll be sitting at that vacant chair or I’ll go to my favourite C.R. or I’ll just buy something at the canteen or sing/dance with our “Love Story” dance craze [yeah, that’s what you call “things what freaks do”].

during our taping days.

janin. jue. just fooling around.

Yesterday though, we’ve had our “eye liner mania” and we were like “yeeaaaahhh” and the people who saw us were like o______0 *gasps* and we have nothing to do because that’s the only thing that kept us busy that day because there is simply nothing to do and that makes us just the right person to call to when you’re out of your mind or something and you need companions [just call us anytime ‘eh?].

*eye liner mania* jue. janin.

TY.

Pillow fights and cold wars.

I've been spending my time thinking of a nice parting post for my high school life and I can't think deeply, well, because I don't have the nerve to write down my senseless thoughts. I reckon it's hard, yes, what with the four years of spending it with the same people every single day and eating lunch with the same faces and spending the chemistry class in the comfort room and canteen [over and over again].

I can hardly recall every detail of my past four years [partially because I really have a poor memory and mom said I can't survive college without taking any memory enhancing pill and I said “yeah, well... perhaps that's the best solution.”].

*my writing sucks*

Anyway, high school is about to end. Yeah, well [how stupid was that, every body knew it's toga time]. So, how would it be? Simple. I'm just going to pin my mighty “1st Honorable Mention award” in my white flawless and immaculate toga and go home with a paper bag tucked in my face. That's just right for LOSERS like me [yeah, losers, losers, losers.. blah.. blahh... whatever].

Anyway, I'll badly miss my friends after the graduation [yeah, that's true]. You know, I got plenty of them [believe me, for God's sake]. So after leaving high school, I reckon I can't spend time with them any more as much as I'd like to because I plan to be deep serious in schooling like I've always wanted to finish college not more than four years.

Well.
In times like this I wanted to sneak out in the dead of the night and then look up in the sky like there's going to have a blast of meteor shower and I'll be whispering my wish list as fast as I could before the meteor runs out of my sight [yes, that's it].

[Back to my friends] Yes, I suppose they’re a bunch of good people [not to mention the out-of-this-world songs of jue like she wants to scare people away, anyway, she makes me laugh though, thanks!]
*I don’t know what to put next*

Darn!

This could be the worst high school-ender post ever.
What do you think?

Welcome to me^^

*applause*

I switched now to blogger, anyway, I weighed things seriously and then I concluded that blogger is of higher advantages than my beloved wordpress. [wordpress acct here]

So now, I welcome myself to this world.
*cheers*

So now, my welcome post would be something I’m dying to write about ever since- perhaps a long long time ago where you might probably think dinosaurs exist. Anyway, it’s a pretty common topic. Sort of.

So, here you go.

THINGS I LOATHE ABOUT MY HIGH SCHOOL LIFE.
[in no particular order]

1. I hate CHEATING. Well, you call it like that especially on exams. They say it’s common and it’s usual and more of a necessity. Or something like “sharing” and all. But come on dude! That still C-H-E-A-T-I-N-G. And yea, I confess I copy assignments… But that’s not a big deal. And that’s that, I hate cheaters, even if they call me friend. (I don’t care if you’re now murmuring behind my back)
2. I hate the teachers, especially those who think they’re too “superior”. And I hate it when they give loads of works and that they think like you were some kind of a superhero and not a human after all.
3.I hate science laboratory works. Because first of all, I hadn’t experience any WITH the class. And that’s because I’m always taking special sessions because I’m always up to something un-worthwhile.
4. I hate Chemistry class. Enough said.
5. I hate those who take away something that’s actually MINE. [just take a hint]
6. I hate it when a friend avoids me like I caused a war or something. That’s something I so hate about friendships.
7. I hate it when I go to our never-before-smelt-nice C.R.
8. I hate the high school students there who think they’re brainy, but they’re actually not.
9. I hate it when the assembly starts so early that I’m late again for school.
10. I hate our prefect of discipline especially when she wails her lungs out when somebody is noisy in the library.
11. I hate it when I pass by the faculty room and then … holy crow! The monster teachers will request something from the canteen. [yeah, I so hate it.]
12. I hate it when our research adviser discusses about MMK’s last episode instead of teaching statistics.
13. I hate it when college students use the “For High School Only” C.R.
14. I hate it when college students practice their silly and pathetic dance moves in the kiosk. [God, forgive me]
15. I hate it when my friends forget me. [I so hate it]
16. I hate it when he steals me out of my friends’ coverage. [sometimes]
17. I hate clearance time when everybody else is signed but I’m not, simply because I’m an SBO Officer. And of course, being an SBO officer guarantees late clearances because of stupid financial reports, liquidations and resolutions.
18. I hate it when we join contests and our achievements are taken for granted.
19. I hate cleaning our room, partially because there are no decent mops around. And I especially hate it when we became the cleaners for two whole devastating weeks.

20. Lastly, I hate my high school life because even though I’ve had many reasons to simply forget it, you know, I just can’t.
