They say what's good for an individual may not be good once the whole group is involved. That's one of the fallacies of economics. But what about something that is bad for one? Could we say that it is not necessarily bad for the whole group? I beg to differ.

 

It's been a rough year for us. We have been criticized again and again this year. Kulang na lang eh sampalin tayo ng PTA at mga teacher natin. No doubt about it, it's been a disappointing performance for our batch. But is a batch defined by its academic performance? Does the storm of 3's, 4's and 5's measure what we as a batch can do? Does the number of times we have fallen mold the profile of '09?

 

I believe the answer is no. Although our grades do tell something about how we are in studying, it doesn't say anything about our learning. I refuse to believe that '09 has learned nothing out of this year. I refuse to listen to the sighs and mourns of our "critics". I refuse to let them put their labels into our batch.

 

As most of us rejoice in the realization that "it's finally over" and that we have nothing to worry about anymore, there are still those that have a big obstacle to face. This may be in the form of an unsubmitted requirement or worse,  the removal exam. Whatever it may be, we still have a shot of redemption. Now, more than anything else, they need our support. After all, they're still batch 2009. If we have anything left to prove, if we have anything left to do to redeem our batch's name, if there's any ounce of belief left in our batch, then now is the perfect time to act. Let our legacy not be the rains of failing grades. Let it be our unity and loyalty to one another. Let it be the bond we share. Let it be our love.

 

Before we say our lasy goodbyes to one another come graduation day, let me be the first to say goodbye: to our failures, to our shortcomings. And as we stand over the mountain we call high school, I hope to say proudly in my heart, that we conquered it... together.

 

If we fall, we just stand up. For that in itself , is already a success.

If we fall, we'll just say, "it's fine '09"... We'll stand hand in hand, and shine...

SHINE '09!!!

Salamat Sir Ramon Bautista!

hihihi.. brrrrr...

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man then lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy, humble but you’re greedy
And based on your body language and shotty cursive I’ve been reading
You’re style is quite selective though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like we're picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don’t mind my nerve you can could it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you are biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these words
I’m paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
Kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt, oh dear
Cause here, here we are
Here we are

We're still here

What beautiful mess, this is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words and priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

Muli na namang nabuhay ang LJ ko.

Bakit nga ba siya namatay? kakatamad e. Dami pang ginagawa (o damn, senior year!! XD)

I'm writing this kasi.. wala lang. Just bored. Napakinggan niyo na yung kanta galing sa huli kong post? Pakinggan niyo!!

Uh.. Malapit na ang judgement day(s). Meron tayong perio. Meron tayong upcat. At kahit malayu-layo pa, meron din tayong acet. I don't want to be too hyped up and worried about the exams kasi.. It goes against the Dao. But, starting tomorrow, I'll be working my ass eyes off to study/review. Sana naman malayo ang aking marating bago ako ma-LDMR.

I can't wait to have the upcat over with. Not really so could "prove myself" (yuck, ang pangit pakinggan, no?). Kasi.. I can return to having my activities back. I could finally get a handle on the fair. I could get out more again. So yeah.. It's a deal with my dad. XD

Nakaka-bad trip. Seven pesos na kanin sa caf. Four pesos ang half-rice. Seven pesos na ang tricycle papuntang istasyon. Sixteen pag pa-uwi.
ANO 'YUN?!?!? ANG MAHAL NAAAA!!!
Grabe halos lahat na lang ng examples na binibigay ko sa econ, tungkol sa pagtaas ng presyo ng caf. Hehe. Bad trip talaga e! Hindi na sulit ang double half-rice! Tinanggal pa nila 'yung karamihan ng food stalls. Buti nga hindi monopolized ng Jollibee at Greenwich e.
Nung isang araw, tinignan ko barya ko sa coin purse. Dose. Naisipi ko kasya pa pansakay ng tricycle pauwi. PUCHA TUMAAS NA PALA PASAHE!!! Kinulang tuloy... x_x

Astig. 50 pesos single rose sa trinoma.

Hindi ko pa nakuha cd ko ng AJSS. Waa. Must get it before the acet. 69 reasons to pass it... again. hahahahaha!! I love that line. XP

(basically, I'm on random mode right now)

Yey, E-heads concert! Pero tama 'yung nabasa ko sa dyaryo. Is there "something" behind it all? Tutugtog nga sila, pero... Are they going to play for the sake of the fans? To revive what they left behind? Or pera-pera na naman? My greatest dream is to see them perform and actually pour their sould into every song. My greatest fear is seeing them perform, but feelign everything's "empty".

Panood niyo na Dark Knight? Ayos 'no? Naisip lang namin.. Kung pinasabog ni Joker 'yung mga granada niya nung mga early part ng movie, ang ikli siguro nung pelikula. XD

"Bakit 'yung Coldplay naka-falsetto buong kanta, pero 'pag Hale, ilang minutes pa lang, ang pangit na?"
-Bentot Tuason, 2008

wow! ang haba na.. XD
tama na 'to. :D

"sa loob ng 'yong mga bisig, dama ko ang 'yong pag-iiiibiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigg.."

(in english: Proof that the Philippines is in Poverty)





Bago ako magsimula... Let me just say..
"Bato bato sa langit...


ang mambato ay pangit. XP"



We've (as in myself and my kada) observed this countless of times. This just came to me this week. My eyes were open as to just how poor our country is. We've had shortages in food, budget, support, logistics, and military equipment. Pero ang pinakamasaklap dito, tila kinukulang tayo sa tela! (But perhaps the worst of it all, we seem to have a shortage in cloth!!)

You have to admit it. Walking along the streets and going around malls in the metro, you'd NEVER miss a chance to see at least one filipina wearing short shorts ("Plantsa" shorts XDDD) or a miniskirt! Kawawa 'no? Kinulang siguro ng pantahi 'yung gumawa nun kaya maikli.. XD Dagdag pa, ang nipis nung tela nung mga pantaas! Kahit nga ata 'ung mga pambaba eh.. =| (It's a pity, right? The tailor must've ran out of cloth when it was made.. Add to that, the cloth for the tops are thin! sometimes, even for the bottoms.)

Of course, the brands that make these have to take advantage! Kulang na nga sa tela, manipis pa 'ung ginamit, ang mahal-mahal pa ng presyo!! Lalo na 'yung mga pantaas! (There's a cloth shortage already, and the cloth used is thin, the prices are still high!! Especially the tops!)

I know... Those kinds of clothes aren't really prevalent coz of a shortage of cloth (or is it? :-?) I know it's a "fashion thing". I may not understand much about how trends and fashion work, but I do know some things about self-respect and dignity. =]

If they feel better wearing those things, I have nothing I could do or say anymore. Sige lang! Tuloy niyo lang! But if they do that to be noticed and be "admired" by guys, I'm just saying that being sexy and attractive goes beyond wearing clothes like those. =] hindi naman sa nagrereklamo ako.. pero... Laging mas ayos kung nakikita kong inaalagaan ng babae 'yung sarili niya. =D (It's not that I'm complaining.. It's just that.. It's always better to see women taking care of themselves.)

If this is the type of image our filipinas want to show the rest of the world, then we really are poor! Poor in dignity and self-respect. kumabaga sa mga matatanda, "mahiya naman kayo sa balat niyo!" Call me old-fashioned, but hey! Our country's suffered enough damages on its identity. The last thing I'd want to happen is to lose our women's identity and image.

Pero... kung hindi ko na mapigil, mangunguna ako sa pagpbili ng tela para sa mga "kinulang"! XD ibang araw na 'yung pupdate-on-my-life post ko! Tsaka... tagalog na 'yun promise. XD

Ako'y nagbabalik

Sabik na sabik

At dadalhin sa inyong lahat ang pinakamabagsik!!!


(weh.. XD)

Pasensya na ah.. Tagal nang hindi nag-update. hehe. Pasensya na rin kasi generic ang ibibigay kong excuse - "busy" XD



Pasensya na, tumatanda na'ko... Hindi ko makukwento lahat ng kabanatang lumipas sa buhay ko over the period of time na hindi ako nag-update. Siguro ang worthwhile lang i-mention ay napanood ko ang One More Chance nila John Lloyd at Bea.. XDDDDD



Grabe!!! CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!! Sa wakas mabubuksan ko na mga regalo ko. :D Kahit na... mga tatlo o apat lang sila this year. XD ang cool kaya.. Past two years, ang dami kong binibili at binibigyan ng regalo. Kasama dun 'yung mga "suhol" ko sa teachers. XP (if there are any teachers reading this, please contact my lawyers for any legal issues and queries)
Pero this year, mga... isa o dalawa lang binigyan ko ng regalo.. O_o labo 'no? Nung years na "santa claus" ako, ang dami ko rin natatanggap in return! Pero ngayong year of the kuripot, kasabay din atang naging kuripot ang kapalaran.. XD


*ehem*
Siya nga pala.. Nabuo ko ang simbang gabi this year!! XD
ah yeah! First time!! Sulit ang paggising nang maaga at pakikisiksik at 4 in the morning!!! XD
Sabi nila may wish daw kung makumpleto... So for the fun of it, nag-wish ako!! =D uhm.. I wished for.. more "happy endings" hehe. =]

Parang mas okay pa ata yung langit pag madaling araw kaysa pag gabi talaga.. The stars are clearer and the moon is beautiful!! XD Sayang nag hindi ako nakakita ng shooting stars eh.. 'Di tulad ng tatay ko.. Na limpak-limpak na ang mga shooting stars na nakita.. =| why is it that I always rememebr her whenever i see magnificent sky..?

Yehey!! I've crossed out an album from my album wishlist!! Nakabili na ako ng SOLID ng Parokya ni Edgar!! XDDD Meron bang gusto mag-sponsor para makabili naman ako ng Under Southern Lights (tama ba?) ng Urbandub?? hehehe.. =D you won't be disappointed.. XD


Goto, pares, tapsilog, kung sino mataya, ay may itlog! And a rikitivitavi ang kalaban ng kobra. Y-E-S naalis ang bra! Saksak pusa died last night. My doggy-doggy, died also. Langit, lupa, impyerno, im-im-in fairness, kahit maliit yung aso ko, malaki naman yung bird. May pet na bird yung aso ko, hindi yugn iniisip mo! Adn a Rickyticky Reyes and a blue balck sheep. Bakti masikip ang kanyang brip? Ispel yes, ispel no, ispel what, i don't know! Amy, Susy, Emperador. Kamikazee, Gran Matador! Monkey, monkey, nagyosi. How many the monkey did yosi? (five! one, two, three, four, five...) So pompiang, pompiang, pompiangan na! Kung sino maalis, maalis, ALIS!!


Aliw... XD Galign sa album. Filler lang siya. Para sya dapat nanay-tatay or langit lupa chant.. Hehe. Ang astig pati nung revival nugn banda ng "Boys Fall in Love".. At syempre... Yung "How to Make a Lovesong" nila!!!

The first part of this song, I guess,
should start with something sweet.
Coz lovesongs often do, and you know me,
i'm such a geek.
For songs that I would sing to you,
and i'm hoping this could be one.
And i hope that you would like me.. este.. like it
when i'm done.

The second part is easy,
to mess up with something cheesy.
So I better choose my words,
coz i don't want it to be mushy.
Coz that's the thing with love songs.
and that is the tricky part.
It's hard not to sound corny
when you're singing from the heart.

And when the chorus comes,
I must come up with something clever.
Coz for you it's just a lovesong,
but for me it's now or never.
And though I try my best, to make it beautiful and true,
I could never make a song as beautiful as you.


awww... XDDDDD


i always try to find wasy to make you smile. i always come up with thigs i could say to make it go away. i always make my prescence felt. i always want to be significant in your life. i always find signs that i still am. i never want to be useless to you. i always check if i still have a place somewhere inside that heart of yours. i always want to figure out the mystery that you hide behind. i'm always there...

and yet, i realize.. just how slefish i am.

now you have yet another obstacle. i sleeplessly try to find a way to help out. things you could say or do to handle the situation.. ways i could lessen the problem.. and ways i could assure myself a happy ending. again.. it's selfish.

when it seemed i have failed the both of us, i realize the solution ishould've thought about a long time ago.

I'll hold on to your promise. I'll trust your word. I've been trying to tell you how everything should be done. I always work for a personal motive. But now, I'm giving it all to you. I'll swallow whatever decision you have. For in the end, all I'll have is your word and promise. And it seems, that's all i'll ever need.

I'll just keep hoping.. that the promises you've given do not fade away in your mind. Hoping that there is a happy ending waiting for us in the end... o_-


Uh.. Yun na muna!!
Merry Chrsitmas!!! XD
God Bless! =]

Funny how something so fast could last so long.




I just wish... It could be more. o_-

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Today's the second day of our four day "vacation". It's the closest we get to havign a semestral break. Buti nalang sulit 'yung christmas break namin. 'Sang buwan. hehehe... XD

So anyhoo.. How has it been? Well, to start off, my halloween! Saya maxado para hindi ilagay dito.

I don't celebrate halloween. I mean, yung costume wearing and stuff. I don't think I've ever been to a trick-or-treating event even! hehe. (Kung mag-costume man ako, balikbayan or refrigerator box! Kung gusto niyo ng mas nakakatakot pa dun, BLACK balikbayan or refrigerator box!! Tignan natin kung makatulog pa kayo!)

So nung Wednesday, nag-aya kami ng mga gusto sumama sa trinoma para manood ng sine after class! Buti nalang naalala ko magbaon ng damit. hehe. At swerte maayos yung pagpaalam ko! So ang final line-up namin, ako, pao, edz, cyd, jo, rb, john at dem. Alis kami mga 12:30 sa Pisay. Saya nga half day eh! When we arrived, punta kami agad sa cinema. Nagkahiwalay pa nga ang boys at girls kasi ayaw naming maniwala an pwedeng dumaan dun sa tinuturo nila edz. Nahuli tuloy kami sa taas. XD

Ang aliw nung movie!!! Dati pa mahal ko na ping-pong. Tas sobrang mas nagign nakaka-aliw ng ping-pong ngayon.


"Ping-pong is like a cheap prostitute. Laughs at you when you are naked. But you keep coming back again and again because she is the only prostitute you can afford."


=))=))=))=))=))

Ang hot pa ni MAGGIE Q!!! Bad trip ang panget nung bida tapos sa kanya lang sya napunta!?! Kita mo nga naman.. Basta magaling ka sa ping-pong, ayos ka bro! XP

After nung movie, bili kami sa dairy queen. Tapos umuwi na sila Dem, followed by RB, then Cyd. Sunod na rin si Pao. Tas lakad-lakad kami nila Edz, Jo at John. We later found na on our way na kotse ni Jo at nagpapasama si Edz sa Pisay kasi dun siya susunduin. So John and I went with Edz and Jo was left sa mall. Pagdating sa Pisay, (bawal na pumasok mga walang "obligations" sa loob) nilibre kami ni Edz ng pamasahe pabalik ng trinoma!! XD So balik kami ni John sa trinoma. At doon, nilibot namin ang mga shop. And like the men we are, wala kaming binili. Tapos akyat kami sa rooftop/garden at doon nagkwentuhan. =] saya... Mga 5:30 alis na'ko at naiwan si John. Gabi pa raw xa masusundo at bibili pa ng memory card.

Moral of the story: the best gimmicks are 'yung hindi pinaplano! hahaha.. Ung tipong mag-aayaan lang during the morning or a few hours/minutes before.

On other news...

So how is Josh as a whole right now?? Studies.. Ok lang. All is well I guess. Except, may bago akong kinaiinisang teacher/subject. :-" Pano naman... Ang laki ng binaba ko, hindi na nga siya nagtuturo. Also, my passion for Physics is at an all-time high. Mainly because of the competition I got to be a part of!!! Pisikaalaman!! hehehe... Pray to God sana manalo. XD

Next weekend na I think 'yung SCA Kyut Kamp. To all Pisay readers, sali kayo!!! Saya siya pwamis. Magbibigay ba naman ako ng talk eh!! Syempre masaya 'yun!

Also.. I'm trying to find an installer of Valkyrie. Yung libreng server ng RO. I'm kinda excited to start playing again. hahahaha.. Lalo na maraming kasamang handang sumuporta. XD Paladin guides, anyone?? XP


What else..? Cardiovascular health??? hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...









secret. :P











okay siya... I guess? I mean, it's on a roller-coaster ride to who-knows-where. And roller-coasters are supposed to be fun right? =] Just hope may "happy" ending 'yung ride. ;)

That about it for now. Sana na-satisfy ang aking mga fans. XP


may kambal. nag-aaway sila. sabi nung isa: Ang pangit mo!


XD XD XD XD XD

can you feel me liek i feel you?
