Last April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday.

Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there ontelevision, she said it was "exciting." Regarding body changes, she saidthere were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be inarace to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hardthey cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this: "I've learned that no matter what happens, or howbad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/shehandles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmastree lights."

"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.""I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making alife'.""I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.""I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt onboth hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, Iusually make the right decision.""I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. Peoplelove a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.""I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forgetwhat you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Ayaw pang maginstall ng VB6 sa laptop na ito.. Ayaw pa ng assembler kasi 32 bytes ang processor...

Wala tuloy akong magawa at dapat itrust ang lahat sa group mates.. HHAAAA...

Holy Friday

Honestly, I was looking forward to the Holy Week vacation to rest and finish, finalize my plans for the summer vacation..

Unfortunately, our syanad revisions deadline is on monday. Our RMI server and client is due on the same day. My Asmprog mini project2 is also needed on the same day. My last chance for passing network quizzes is on the tuesday but I have to study earlier coz I don't even know what are the topics we will have a quiz on..

With those things in consideration, I need to finish the publi, comelec docus and wg plans.. Maybe I can do this next week but sayang dala ko pa naman ngayon..

Nakaakirita pa kasi my groupmates they can't go online so hindi ko madiscuss yung gagawin so I'm stuck with assigning.. I'm not even the leader so .....how annoying is this?

Today was rest day.. Tomorrow is stress day

On March 23 to 27, I was expecting to do nothing but plan my summer.. Pero may Syanad, Dbapdev, Asmprog, Network at CSO..

Dapat talaga inuumpisahan ko na ngayun pero nakakatamad eh.. I spend the whole day watching videos and Gilmore Girls.. I'm almost finish sa Publications docu pero that's as much work as I did..I rid of half the adware on my father's computer but the other half don't die easily..

Basta bukas.. trabaho na talaga...

I have disorganized things

OC-Oc ako.. Aminado ako ganyan talaga ako.. I can tolerate spontienity (tama ba yung ispelling?) only to an extent.. Ayoko ng sabog talaga!

Kagabi sa Apprentice, si Danny ng Magna ang naghead ng project nila. Sabog na sabog siya. Yung event masaya at papansin. Pero sabog na sabog talaga. Walang theme, walang uniting factor.. Sabog talaga.. Masaya pero walang pinatunguhan, buti nga at natanggal ka..

Before seeing that episode galing akong skul..

Defense Syanad2 2005, malapit na at papasa na kami.. Close but not close enough.. Why? a design glitch. Dati ko pa napansin eto sa project namen pero I'm really tired of trying to put the message through and being stuck in a subject na walang koneksyon. Kapag nagmeeting kasi ang gulo.. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever na lang..???!!##@@

Babawi ako!!

Next time, choose Thirdy as the group leader..

Seven

This is not about Brad Pitt's movie..

Not even the TV channel..

Seven.. ang numero ng units na bagsak ko.

Ang unang tatlo ay handog ng Anmath1. Regalo ni Tristan Reyes, di lamang sa aken kundi halos lahat ng mga kaklase ko. Natuto lamang ako ng 45% ng scope ng course. Nais ko sisihin si Tristan dahil ang niyang intindihin. Ang taray-taray pa.. Pero siyempre may mali rin ako kasi di ko inaral ng mabuti. Triny kong habulin ito sa pamamagitan ng pagaaral hanggang lumuwa ang aking mga mata ngunit di talaga umabot.. "I di my best.. but .. it wasn't good enough.."

Ang ikalawang apat ay handog ng magkasamang DBAPDEV at DATPROJ. Regalo ito ni Oliver Malabanan para sa Christmas.. Masisisi ko ang aking mga kagrupo, ang aking sarili at ang tadhana. Bakit ang aking kagrupo? di kasi nila natapos ng tama ang mga modyul na pinagawa ko sa kanila. Bakit ang aking sarili? Hindi ako nagadvance study, nagtanong at nagpatulong.. Bakit ang tadhana? naiwan kasi kaming nagiisa sa company kaya sobrang hirap ang aming naranasan..Iniyakan ko ang pagbagsak dito pero matapos nuon na-realize ko na its for the best kasi I'd learn a lesson at alam ko na ang dapat gawin di lamang sa take two nito kundi sa iba pang related na subject. Naging friendly-friend din kami ng aking kagrupo na si Val, Erik at Arianne..

Seven.. curses at you.. Seven ang numero ng mga bagsak ko..

Trapped

Trapped at a place where I don't want to be.

With a need to learn what I don't want to know.

Across a time I don't want to waste.

And at a pace that I don't have control of.

Lift me away from here.

Put me where I can be better.

Release me towards a light that's right.

Let me close my eyes.

Have me feeling a sense of safety.

But I don't have that luxury.

Yet I can't attain my wishes.

If I would have the freedom....

Through my depths, I will conquer.

In a few moments, I will rise and leave.

That time is near, I know I'll return again.

Though gasiping to get away, I choose to stay.

Fresh from Lea night

At mid-day, I almost didn’t come to LEA because I have to dress up for it. I hated the only clean coat and I am in no mood to socialize. Plus, Jahra (outgoing president) left with nobody to go with.

I prepared late coz I was so sleepy so I took an hour of sleep and learned how to tie a tie, in the next 30 minutes, coz I forgot to have my father tie a knot to the tie and pondered on how I hate the coat that I have to wear when I was preparing. So there I was all cleaned out then found out that I forgot to shave so shave I did. Tried out the ugly coat which doesn’t match my shirt and pants.

I left with a taxi and arrived half an hour late. Waited for an hour doing nothing, I wasn’t really in the mood to socialize. So the program started. National Anthem first. A short prayer by Ther (Publications Team Head). A really short presentation about LEA. (How bitin was this!) A speech by Aizza. As always, Aizza did a serious one ending with something about an iceberg. Basta something about keeping the passion for service and excellence. Then something inspirational by Mam Kit spoken by Kuya Dek( It was a good speech. I just wish she really meant it). Something about a leader being an instrument of inspiration. Really inspiring. I just wished her office wasn’t in the picture so all student organizations will be happy and excellent.

Then bread was served. Finally food I was hungry.. Then a song by jigs carag of DLSU-pops

After that Simoun went up the stage to present the SSOt winners. I did not know any of the profs so I just watched em..

Then food came.. HMMMM... It was difficult to eat coz we only had a knife and a fork. The spoon was taken with the soup so.. Basta at least i am not hungry anymore..

Then Macy and Edz went up the stage and presented TOC-TOYM. Three of the finalists were from CCS. Don is one of the three and I know him personally. Hehe anyway. The winners were Gold, Jillian and Lyanne.

Tapos, HOW.. tagal nun... pero nominated pala ako sa best assistant team head.. akala ko di na.. Anyway nominated pala ako.. saya.. Si Leo man nanalo.. It an honor to be nominated and be a finalist. hahahahaha.. Nominatd din ang publications.. saya.. nanalo man ang soli.. nominated pa rin kami..

Then there was a presentation for the outgoing officers. sobrang touching siya. Haay.. Ahh outgoing assistant team head of publications na ako.. huhuhuhu... Pero sobrang saya naman ng experience.. kakaiba talaga...

Then a toast.. yuck di masarap yung red wine.. Pero yehey pa rin.. oh my.. i'm so honored...

Tapos oathtaking, I hate you Jahra (outgoing president) iniwan mo ako... Pero ok din yun speech inspiring...

Tapos tapos na... Pinauuwi na ako ni Mama so after the program I left na... Masaya naman... in the sense na kakaiba..

Iba talaga ang CSO experience.. I'm happy na itinutuloy ko pa ito...

Transcending....

Look back and Stare forward

At the start of the year, I decided that I will either be the CSO Publications Team Head or the Writers’ Guild President.
Being the assistant team head for publications gave experiences and insights that made me a better leader. I was able to experience my people skills with my staff and organization representatives. With my staff, I served as their link to the team. I updated them about the things they should do. I also made sure that I can be a person that they could go to if they had any questions about CSO or the opportunities they can venture into with CSO. I also made sure that we have fun while doing our respective work. Honestly, I would give myself a grade of 7. But I wished I could have done better. I could have developed better relationship with my staff. I am proud of how I had dealt with at least 5 people from my staff but I also wished I could have done the same with the other 5. Even though, I still feel that I had given my active staff a better experience as compared to my time as a Publications staff. In the part of organization representatives, I am proud to have been their link with APS, SPO and the rest of CSO. I am happy that when they have a problem with their organization or their publication they would ask me for help. I am glad that they found me approachable and helpful that they keep asking me for help and opinion. I’d give me a grade of 8 with this part of my job. I also wish that I could have made sure that even those without minor publication can approach me for help in their publication or org concerns. I am also happy that for these people, I was able to organize 5 seminars. Although majority of these seminars had low participation turnout, the competence was there. The best speakers had talked in these seminars and evaluations are always good. Our only problem was our audience, only that. I am also proud that I had made sure that SPO and CSO had good relations. Unlike last year, SPO had no bad things to tell us. I also got to know most of the SPO employees. In terms of the CSOracle, it is here that I feel I’d get a 4.I had made great efforts to continuing their releases starting from ARW release till today. But I had not made it a success. Too bad. But It wasn’t my priority to do this so overall I’d grade me a 7.

I also became the publicity assistant team head for the freshmen orientation where I helped design the office and cheer “Welcome Froshies!” to the incoming froshies. Aside from that I was the productions head for CSO day where I was supposedly in charge of the CSO night that was coinciding with ECES night. But the CSO day wasn’t approved and all my efforts just gave end with helping out with the CSO day exhibit. I was a bit sick at the end of the day so I couldn’t help out and attend. As Publications head for HOW, I wrote descriptions and compiled things for presentations.

CSO gave me insights and backgrounds that made me a better leader.

In LSCS, I was the assistant vice president for publication. Here, I was able to practice writing for a minor publication. I was able to do publications stuff like interviewing people, layout and writing. I’d give me a 9. Although, I did them late from the tasked deadline. I did what I signed up to do. I hated those extra jobs that I really didn’t do so It seems like the LSCS EB would have found me as a bad officers but I’d beg to differ.

For Writers’ Guild as Vice President for Publications, Id give me a 9.5. My only regret would be not being able to complete all four issues. The fourth issue owns the best excuse because there were no activities for the last term. I also did more that the things I should be doing. I served as the person holding the org together.

For the BA, I give me a 6. All the efforts was there it only lacks implementation which was not my fault because I was not the batch president.

For next year, I will be the WG president. I aim to be the best one. I want to start and rediscover the org’s history, venture away from the norm, control and inspire my officers and start a better WG.

I also want to be part of CSA as at most an AVP and the BA as my same position. Lastly as member of the OVP-ACT.

Summer!!

Sana summer na!!

Namimiss ko na yung pahiga-higa lang.. Sana magawa ko yun.

I also want to have a productive summer. Starting with the teambuilding with my WG officers. sana complete lahat sila. Its on tentatively april 18-21. Sana sa tagaytay.

I also want to be officially part of haribon-youth and wwf-philippines kung saan maranasan kung makatulong sa kanilang mga proyekto. Kinda looking forward then to meet other people.

Gusto ko sanang magorganize ng outing for the block kaya lang yung mga st may practicum este OJT na..

Gusto ko rin gumimik kami ng old barkada kaya lang wala naman silang kwenta. Ang tatanda na, hindi pa rin pinapayagan!!

Gusto ko ring mag-speech power at mag workshop pero no money..

Ahh!!!!!!!!!!! Summer!!!!!!!!1

For a just and free society

At first DLSU seemed to be a perfect place..

Great Opportunities.. Great Facilities...

Until I discovered students are the admin's robots..

We need the freedom and justice that we deserve..

People who are supposedly are representation against these injustices are doing nothing but go around the problem...

Hinahayaan lang nilang apihin tayo at nagpapaapi rin sila... lumaban! dahil ito ang nararapat na sa amin..
