Microeconomics Class

Abi is really curious about what Roman and I talked about this morning. Due to Abi’s demand, here it is:

R: taas imoha[ng essay]?

V: uhm, 3 lines after sa half sa page ragud.

R: nah, ako, awa. (laughs)

V: (looks at R’s paper). Baaang. Grabeha pud nimo. (His essay didn’t went beyond half the page!)

R: lageh gamay kaayo. Mao raman ako mahinumduman. (laughs)

V: (in my mind) ah, syaro pud..

------

We were asked to read our essays in class.

R: di nalang ko mubasa [sa akong work] oy

V: pag-sure oyy. Basa kunu.

R: gamay ani

V: ahw ikaw.

----

He really didn’t read his essay.

Papers are collected.

R: ipass akoa[ng paper] bi.

I placed his work on top of mine.

R: ipa-ilawm oy. :)

V: cge go. (I was like, ka-demanding oy!)

---

END.

That’s it Abi. Wala ra'to. Wala'y dapat ikasuya. =)

At twilight, I always wait for the first star to show up.
When the sun has finally found its rest
When darkness embraces the whole street,
I’d sit somewhere and to the sky, I look up.

The first star, which is also the brightest star, in my every night’s sky
Reminds me of someone whom I can’t get over with.
Someone so warm, so tender, and kind
The only man who caught my attention.

Until when can I stay like this?
Looking at the star, while thinking about him?
When can I stop acting like this?
Until when? Oh, tell me, ‘til when?

----

How I wish I could stop associating
The first star with him.
I want to see the first star as it is,
A star that outshines every other star =)

We were having our Philo class this morning. We were comparing USC from other universities across the nation, including UP, of course.


“What do you think about most of the UP students?” the teacher asked.

“Some of them are activists, Sir”, a classmate of mine replied.



“Have you noticed? Whenever the students from Ateneo do protests, there’d be traffic? Kay mag-Pajero man sila. And, the students from UP, on the other hand, would just…” the teacher stopped when my classmate, who answered a while ago, interrupted.

“Mag-Oblation Run sila sir”

“Bitaw. I have some friends who are from UP and I… I don’t like them. They’re like nerds.” the teacher continued.

Activists.
Oblation Run as a sign of protest.
Nerds.
--- These are what they think of us*. But they never knew that we are more than this.

I wanted to stand and correct their stereotyping, but I remained in my seat. It's a waste of time arguing about these kinds of things to people who don't even know what they are saying.


Philo teacher, classmate na S.I.P. squared take time to know us better before judging.

****I have a UPian blood. And that blood would dominate over other bloods. Hahahaha. UP has made a great impact in my development as a leader and as a person.

I have this econ classmate named Roman, a.k.a. ROMAN NUMERALS. Abigail Domasin, my best friend when it comes to the topic “LOVE”, was somehow moved by this guy. He’s white, he has chinky eyes and he’s a good swimmer. [Trivia: because Abi and I have vacant periods at 3:00-4:30pm, we always go to the pool. It so happened that Roman’s P.E. class is swimming and his schedule is 3:00-4:30pm, so we can really watch him swim!]

Anyways, if I were to judge, he’s not that handsome. He’s just white, that’s it.


Abi usually teases me. She puts meaning in everything I do and speak and she connects it to Roman. Whenever Abi does that, I’d just laugh because I am not affected at all. And I don’t have a crush on that guy.

He’s seated at my right. He asks questions whenever he didn’t hear what the teacher said. We laugh together at Lord Rodriguez’ jokes. Lord’s really a joker even when we were in High School. [Trivia again: Lord Rodriguez was my partner during prom ‘07. On Valentine’s Day ’07, he said, “oy partner sa prom! Happy Valentine’s Day!” He was also my classmate in REED 20 for a few days, but he had his subject re-scheduled because he always comes to class late. Our RED 20 time last semester starts at 7:30AM. ]

We’re just friends. Okay?

So, Abi, I know that you’re the one who has a crush on him, nganung ipasa man jud?! LOLS. Ayeee, ROMAN NUMERALS!

Hello blogger!

I've been very busy these days because I am of great demand to the society! CHAR. Bitaw, I've had a lot of things to do and think about.

Dolores Aboitiz Day
(Or what we usually call as DACF Children's Fest)

There are three stations, wherein children will be taught different values that will help them grow as a person. Youth volunteers from different organizations will facilitate the event. It so happened that the Aboitiz Leaders of Excellence (ALEx), a youth arm of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. (RAFI), was assigned in Station 3: Kabataan Para sa Bayan.
