My daily routine is wake up at 3:30.. Stand up from bed ng 4:10.. Work til 10..Go to school.. Arrive at the house ng 6pm.. Do house stuff till 9 till then, I would finish the algocom project/introse prototype until 12:20.. that when I force myself to sleep or I can't move so I need to sleep..

Silver Lining: I get to drink iced coffee more often

Blah

Upon the defeat of my faith,
I start the end to feel hope.
Without love for anything,
I live my life for my selfish self.

Tired of rejection and disbelief,
I keep the pain within my heart.
Aiming to close my world,
I dream of an escape.

At the edge of air struggling for my safety,
I decide to face the odds.
Without any remorse of fear,
I jump, slowly I met my demise.
My End, my freedom.
---------

Ang tagal mo, kasi!
Tapos na ang lahat.
Siguradong huli ka na.
Wala ka nang aabutan.

Ang tagal mo, kasi!
Naiwan ka na tuloy.
Hindi ka na napansin.
Nabela wala ka na lang.

Ang tagal mo, kasi!
Marami ka nang di nakilala.
Konti na lang makukuha mo.
Di ka na masisiyahan tulad ko.

Ang tagal mo, kasi!
Di ka na tuloy namin kilala.
Galit na kami sa iyo.
At wala ka nang pag-asa.

Ayan kasi ang tagal mo.
Wala ka na tuloy sa isip namin.
Tumanda na kami ng di ka kasama.
At di na naten kilala ang isa't-isa.

I don't like to work..

So I came to such a decision, I don't like to do my assignments and projects anymore.

ALGOCOM's deadline is on Friday. Ayaw ko na siyang gawin.. Sana matapos ko pero ayaw ko lang talagang gawin.. Kulang ang references ko at hindi ko alam kung papaano ko isusulat kung ano nga ba ang KD trees. All I know is that its a binary tree that facilitates space partitioning.

Care ko ba dun.. Kaya nga ayaw kong gawin kasi I don't see a real use for it.. Ganito na lang kaya.. Think of the task's use is to give me a passing grade sa ALGOCOm..

YES, I'm gunning for the passing grade.. Although alam kong madidis-appoint ako sa term end pero mas safe na yun at least if goal achieved, mas madali kong nagawa yon.

INTROSE prototype.. Ayaw ko ring gawin kasi napapangitan ako sa interface atsaka ayaw kong gumawa ng walang ginagawang prototype pero at least sa what I'm feeling now.. Gusto ko na siyang gawin...

GOGOGO, introse..

Magpuyat ako mamaya.. Coffee, my heaven.. We'll meet again.. Sana lang you'd work..

Magluluto rin ako ng spaghetti tomorrow evening..

Waahhhh.. I'm so ERRRRRred.. Dagdag pa yung immediate concerns sa WG na ilang weeks na lang ang legal life.. Wala pang perang pumapasok at di na pinapansin ng mga froshie members...

GOSH...

Kaya mo yan na lang.. AJA!!

Break at Last!!

Walang pasok bukas!

Ang saya-saya!!

Break at last..

Maglalaba ako bukas..

Magsusulat din ako..

At tatapusin lahat ng mga basurang di ko pa natatapos..

Saturday, July 23, 2005

I'm a morning person!!

I'm annoyed!

Despite how much I try to sleep late, I always end up sleeping early and waking up earlier.
Even if, I work early on the morning, I would have longer hours if I slept late than when I wake up early.. This sucks!!

Peste.. pero kelangan siyang gawin..

Paano kaya? Coffee doesn't work pa naman...

Conservative thought

I remember people showing disgust over men who oggle over women. Yung tipong manunuod paglalaruan yung mga babae.. yung tipong "yeah baby, yeah"..

Pero bakit sila nagjujudge?

Bakit kapag ginagawa ng mga babae yun sa mga lalaki parang wala lang..
Nagisip-isip ako.. Unang thought, binibigyan mo lang naman ang mga babae ng space to do what she wants.. Bakit kapag lalaki, dapat bang paki-alaman lahat?
Pangalawang thought, gusto rin naman ng lalaki.. Siguro nga pero may part sa aken na nagsasabing di ko magagawa yung ganun, yung iba kaya? Lunukan na lang ba ng pride? atsaka paano kapag gusto naman ng babae? bakit niloo-look down upon pa rin..

Eto pa: Bakit nagagalit ang MTRCB na sumisilip na boobs ni Ethel Booba at ni Rufa Mae Quinto pero kapag nag-gagame sa Sis na pahuhubarin ng top ang lalaki, wala lang?

Double standard ba talaga at hindi against sa babae kundi sa lalaki..

Pare-pareho lang naman tayong tao, ha?

Note: Bite me! I overslept and I now have to deal with tons of work.. ERRRR!!

Philippines: A perpective difference

My Short Essay about the Philippines
Jaeyoun Kim

Filipinos always complain about the corruption in
the Philippines. Do
you really think the corruption is the problem of
the Philippines? I
do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem
is the lack of
love for the Philippines.

Let me first talk about my country, Korea. It might
help you
understand my point. After the Korean War, South
Korea was one of
the poorest countries in the world. Koreans had to
start from
scratch because entire country was destroyed
completely after the
Korean War, and we had no natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for
Filipinos were very
rich in Asia. We envy Filipinos. Koreans really
wanted to be well
off like Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine. My
father's brother
also died because of famine.

Korean government was awfully corrupt and is still
very corrupt
beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to
develop dramatically
because Koreans really did their best for the common
good with their
heart burning with patriotism. Koreans did not work
just for
themselves but also for their neighborhood and
country. Education
inspired young men with the spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the
government to reform
Korea. He tried to borrow money from other
countries, but it was not
possible to get a loan and attract a foreign
investment because the
economy situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea
had only BR three
factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers
and nurses to
Germany so that they could send money to Korea to
build a factory.
They had to go through a horrible experience. In
1964, President
Park visited Germany to borrow money.Hundred of Koreans in Germany
came to the airport to welcome him and cried there
as they saw the
President Park. They asked to him, "President,when
can we be well
off?" That was the only question everyone asked to
him.President
Park cried with them and promised them that Korea
would be well
off if everyone works hard for Korea, and the
President of Germany
got the strong impression on them and lent money to
Korea. So,
President Park was able to build many factories in
Korea.

He always asked Koreans to love their country from
their heart. Many
Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back
to Korea to help
developing country because they wanted their country
to be well off.

Though they received very small salary, they did
their best for
Korea.They always hoped that their children would
live in well off
country. My parents always brought me to the places
where poor and
physically handicapped people live. They wan ted me
to understand
their life and help them. I also worked for Catholic
Church when I
was in the army. The only thing I learned from
Catholic Church was
that we have to love our neighborhood. And I have
loved my
neighborhood.

Have you cried for the Philippines? I have cried for
my country
several times. I also cried for the Philippines
because of so many
poor people.

I have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me
sad in the
prison were the prisoners who do not have any love
for their
country. They go to mass and work for Church. They
pray everyday.
However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked
to two prisoners
at the maximum security compound,and both of them
said that they
would leave the Philippines right after they are
released from the
prison. They said that they would start a new life
in other
countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we
were able to
share our wealth with our neighborhood. The owners
of factory and
company were distributed their profit to their
employees fairly so
that employees could buy what they needed and saved
money for the
future and their children. When I was in Korea, I
had a very strong
faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I
came to the
Philippines, I completely lost my faith. I was very
confused when I
saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines.

Street kids always make me sad, and I see them
everyday. The
Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia,
but there are too
many poor people here. People go to church every
Sunday to pray, but
nothing has been changed.

My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw
this situation.
They told me that Korea was much poorer than the
present Philippines
when they were young. They are so sorry that there
so many beggars
and street kids. When we went to Pasan gjan, I
forced my parents to
take a boat because it would fun. However, they were
ot happy after
aking a boat. They said that they would not take
the boat again
because they were sympathized the boat men, for the
boat men were
very poor and had a small frame. Most of people
just took a boat and enjoyed it. But my parents did
not enjoy it
because of love for them.

My mother who has been working for Catholic Church
since I was very
young told me that if we just go to mass without
changing ourselves,
we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with
action. She added
that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for
them because
all of us are same and have received a great love
from God.

I want Filipinos to love their neighborhood and
country as much as
they love God so that the Philippines will be well
off. I am sure
that love is the keyword which Filipinos should
remember. We cannot
change the sinful stru cture at once. It should
start from person.
Love must start in everybody in a small scale and
have to grow. A
lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let's
put away our
prejudices and look at our worries with our new
eyes. I discover
that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in
love, because it
makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It
changes people,
contexts and relationships. It changes the world.

Please love your neighborhood and country. Jesus
Christ said that
whatever we do to others we do to Him. In the
Philippines, there is
God for people who are abused and abandoned. There
is God who is
crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how
to love the
Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their
neighborhood and
country.

You already know that God also will be very happy if
you love others.
That's all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

My Short Essay on this short essay
Thirdy Lopez

My opinion is simply this.. I totally agree love for one's country is a strict factor to attain a good Philippines.
By good, I mean successful and well-off. If Filipinos would just sacrifice for more than their own interest but
for the good of other Filipinos as well. If Filipinos would stay here in this country rather than go to other countries
to find money and success. Our capabilities will comprise to become a great Philippines. By great, I mean becoming more
than a third world country.

But initializing actions must start with somebody. Somebody could not be me alone or us together but a collective effort
in the country.
How do we start collective efforts? We need a model. Who is our model?
Our leaders, but with the current state of our government. What kind of example are these people setting?
What kind of a Philippines are they creating?

Yeah, yeah you said it yourself. Your president Park initiated the action, calling for help and doing the
action to attain a goal. You couldn't have started your progress without your president. A president is a leader,
a leader of a country. The personalization of what a country is and what its stand for.

Meet our President, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. She had cheated her way to her position. She had created controversy herself
to destabilize our country.
Her country is asking her to resign and she retaliates by exercizing and not paying attention to what the country wants.
A president not willing to care to listen to her subordinates. A president promoting dishonesty and insincerity.

No wonder Filipinos are poor. Poverty is the goal of the country, maintaning that poverty is what it currently does.
To our president, together with thousands and thousands of Filipinos, I call for your resignation.

To the youth of the Philippines, united we stand to create a great Philippines. Future leaders are we. Leaders
geared with hope and idealism to create a great Philippines. A free Philippines.
A Philippines loved by Filipinos..

Mabuhay ang Kabataan!!

Of Unprofessionalism and stupidity

Matanda na ako.. 3rd year na..

Hindi na ako tanga.. May alam na ako..

Kaya nga naasar ako kapag hindi professional lalo na kapag formal supposedly yung setting..

Ang meeting dapat seryoso.. Ang lider komokontrol..

Ang head nakikinig.. Ang executive hindi namemersonal..

Ang stricto, effective at efficient ang response..

May sense, may utak.. pinag-iisipan..

Ang mga tatanga-tanga ay pinapahirapan, niloloko at pinapaikot para matuto..

Ang germs hindi binebeybi, pinapatay..

Onto professional life


Sa totoo lang, ayaw ko pang magtrabaho.. Sobrang na-stress out ng ako nuong nagfillup ng form nuong job expo..
Nakakaasar pa yung pic ko sa kodak.. Mas maayos pa yung tie ko sa picture na ito..

Hindi pa ako nakapunta sa Job expo nuong Friday..

Tapos sino ang references ko? Wala naman akong maisip.. Former superiors, di ba? Hindi ko na alam kung saan sila mahahagilap.. Si Jahra pala nasa paligid-ligid lang.. Corny naman.. Pinabest ako sa Publications nuong last 2 years pero asan ko naman mahahanap si JLO at Ther nagtratrabaho na ata sila..

Wala pa akong pera. Naubos na naman.. Lunch at dinner lang naman gastos ko.. Dumating pa yung bill ko sa fone. P600 ang mahal naman.. Saan ko naman kukunin yung pambayad duon. Kakadeposit ko pa lang ng pera sa bdo.. ayaw ko pang galawin...

Waahhh.. Ang hirap naman...

At least na lang, I'm still surviving..

Ayaw ko na! Pero gagawin ko pa rin ito ang nais ko kasi..

Saturday, July 16, 2005

Lay-out

Miss ko na to..

Pero annoyed rin ako that I have to do this..

More annoyed that I have to face DO pictures for about hours and hours..

Pero I have gained a different respect from them..

Still I don't get why they're there..

D.O.

Hindi ko talaga nakikita ang gamit mo.
Hindi naman kami kriminal na kelangan ng pulis.
Hindi naman kami retarded na kelangan ng bantay.
Hindi rin tanga na kelangan ng taga-turo.
Bakit ka nga na nandito?
---------------
Ang isang accredited organization kapag hindi na niya na proprove yung worth niya.. tinatanggal na.. Bakit ikaw, what's ur worth?

Basura ka lang naman.. Walang may gusto sa iyo.. Mawala ka na!!

NOTE: DO Awareness Month dis Month alamin niyo ang mga walang kwentang rules nila this month, ha?

Monday, July 11, 2005

Ano ba? I can only be me..

Nakaka-asar itong araw na ito..

Una, I woke up one hour later than I usually do.. Maaga pa rin pero not my morning.. Feeling ko nga because I'm wishing too much na there would be 25 hours in a day.. Naasar si God sa aken ginawa niyang 23 hours na lang...

Pangalawa, WEBDEVE midterms.. Ayaw ko nga mag-aaral!! No choice.. Had to read stuff.. Nakalimutan ko pa ng ibig sabihin ng URL!! AHH.. of all the mistakes.. URL pa nakalimutan..

Ikatlo, PGMA.. Magresign ka na kasi... Ang kapal-kapal ng mukha mo.. Nandaya ka na nga.. Nilabag mo na nga ang batas na pinahahalagahan ng iyong administrasyon at ng sambayanang pilipino. Ikaw pa itong may ganang mag-fire ng mga tao, Magsabi na gusto namin ng vilolence, Magconsider na magpalit ng government na pinaglabanan ng mga tao sa EDSA I. Walang mali sa system, walang mali sa form of governement, walang mali dun.. And mali ay nasa iyo. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.. Ikaw..

Kaya mahiya ka naman sa Pilipinas, sa Pilipino.. Bumaba ka na sa pwesto mong hindi mo naman dapat nakuha..

GLORIA, RESIGN!!!

Hmmmpp.. Wala pa rin yung mga SC people.. May nakita akong mga D.O. at nandun ang ilang CCS people nagsusulat ng “Call for Moral Ascendancy” Tagal naman magumpisa… Inintay ko hanggang 9:10 AM.. I can’t waste my time like this.. as scheduled dapat nagistart na ng 9AM.. pero hindi pa.. I’d decided to leave..

Was it a waste of time?

In a way, YES. I should had followed my gut.. Wag na lang pumunta…

NO, at least I know I care.. I just care more about my future, my priorities..

I wanna be part of a change within our country but I don’t want to lead it..

My advocacy is not political stability but I could help in achieving it.

Artist or Scientist

Ang tanda ko na!

Third year na ako at halos dalawang taon na lang ang stay ko sa DLSU..

I now have to decide what I will do?

Honestly, ayoko ng connected sa computer science pero sana connected sa IT..

Takot ko lang na no choice ako kundi mag-programmer (yuck)..

Sana naman hindi.. Gusto ko rin sanang pagtibayin ang aking craft sa pagsusulat..

Ang galing-galing ng org officers ko at advisers namen sa Writers' Guild kaya confident ako na may matutunan ako at ang mga tao sa WG..

Mapapraktis ko na rin ang aking pagsusulat..

Kaya lang.. Magtratrabaho na ako..

So far ang plano ko ay pagsabayin sila.. Habang IT professional ako.. Nagsusulat rin ako for something, a publication sana.. Pero okay na ako sa pa freelance - freelance.. sa una..

Tignan na lang naten..

Life, Thirdy's here...
