First week of classes just ended and I SURVIVED the crowded hallways and the large throng of people I have to get through EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past week just to get past the lobby. I finally got to meet up with my friends (who I missed like crazy!!) and guess what? It was as if we were only seperated for a weekend.

My subjects and schedule are really tough this term. I’ve got two math subjects, ecommerce, law and sociology. I’m loving law and sociology so far, I’m thinking of taking up criminal law after my business degree. That would be so law and order, cool huh?

The geek in me is loving all the work that has been given and will be given but i’m giving up on wednesday and sunday live basketball:-( I missed the game today. That’s okay though because KINGS WON!!!!!;-) happy happy joy joy:)

I’m in my ecommerce class and I’m supposed to be doing something else. BUT something really annoying is happening and I swear if I didn’t have enough self-control I would have kicked the people involved already!

There’s this guy who is going on and on about girls. Hot girls, sexy girls and his crushes. Not that its any of my business but please stop talking about girls as if they’re dog meat.

I SWEAR GUYS LIKE HIM GIVE GUYS A BAD NAME IN GENERAL.

FREAKIN JERK

I MISS YOU:-(

Gin Kings lost last night 🙁 It’s okay though, I know thier tired and their last three games were AMAZING. And there are still like four games left so I’m hopeful:-) I’ve got faith that they could make it this time against those GIANT MEANIES.

EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE.
Even if that person was really bitchy before and couldn’t even remember your name, its better to give that person a second chance especially if she has changed already. It’s a humbling experience when you finally don’t feel anything negative towards someone you used to loathe. I don’t mean to be preachy here, but it feels great to finally let go of all the negative emotions and just be happy.

Being hopeful is one of the most serene feelings in the world. It makes one feel that maybe at the end of a grungy day/situation, something better will come.

It’s exhilirating.

If you’ve been reading my blog for quite sometime now I guess you’d realize that I’ve confirmed it a LONG TIME AGO that we’ve lived in conformed society for a longest time.

Get this…

Maybe, I was mistaken.

You see, I know half of the world today has already been “westernized” but I guess I forgot all about the OTHER half. I just came from my sociology class and I’ve realized that inasmuch as the whole world has been getting into the latest technology, there are still some parts of the world, such as Ghana in Africa, which is to say, at the very least, technologically challenged.

In Ghana, owning a telephone is a LUXURY. Weird huh? And also some tribes in Africa still continue to practice weird traditions that can be traced back to olden days.

I mean, I know this but sometimes I forget that every single place is different. Sometimes we get so used to what’s around us, we forget that what may be normal to us may not be for other people. It’s kindda interesting…don’t you think?

Read the solitaire mystery, my kuya was right. It IS good:)

Go kings:))))

I realized something when I was in church earlier.

Everyone, in one way or another, is hiding beneath a mask. Thier lives could seem SO perfect on the outside but in reality, one would never know what is really going on behind the mask. I know i know, I so don’t want to sound like oprah but its the truth.

Which is why its kindda unfair to look at one person and say,
“Oh gad, she has the BEST life, I wish I had her life”
because in one way or another, thier life is messed up too. They may have a good way of concealing it but there’s no escaping it.

It made me realized that everyone has thier own little things to deal with and no one’s life is better than anyone else’s. As I always say, people are different from each other, not BETTER.
Thier problems may seem trival to other people but to them, it’s tough.

So, I guess it all boils down to minding our own business and not judging people. I have stuff to deal with, they have stuff to deal with so we should just let them be. We are in no position to say, “What the hell is she yanking about?” (guilty as charged) because we really don’t know the REAL SCORE.

I also realized another thing, real kindness can be tested when dealing with difficult people. Its so easy to be nice to someone who is pleasant and blessed with an endearing personality but its more difficult to be nice to someone who isn’t … nice. SO i guess its better to repay meaness with kindness. Difficult but i hope I get there in time.:)

Okay, I think i’ve had enough drama for the day.

GO KINGS:)

COMMON FILIPINO ANTICS

“Miss, pabili ng colgate..ung close up”

Ano raw? Colgate na close up pa.

“Day, patayin ang ilaw”

translation: KILL the lgihts. Aba, aba street slang

ENGLISH VERSION

“Yaya, close the lights”

Ahemm… di naman door un.

“Ang traffic!”

Lagi naman may traffic eh, better to just say, “the traffic was heavy”

Another funny trait Filipinos have these days is the fact that 80% of today’s population wishes that thier children, especially little girls would be a part of the sexbomb dancers.

Tsk tsk. NO thanks to the shortage of teachers and good schools in the Philippines. I just read in the paper today that we are lacking almost 5, 000 elementary teachers alone! We really can’t blame those leaving the country to search for greener pastures but the lack of a good education system is way too depressing.

Especially if the taxpayers’ money all go to the kids of the senators, congressmen and whatnot who choose to study in the states.

GO FIGURE.

I seriously didn’t intend to hurt anyone. I just want to say THANK YOU. Uh-oh, bad move. People look into stuff more than I give them credit for. Durn, that little action may actually mean A LOT to other people. Huwat? Can’t I be nice? UH-OH. Major bu-bu.
***
I think I just hurt someone I really like. Uh-oh again. NO thanks to the fact that I continually analyze the smallest things that it drives people insane. Crap. Well, if that person would just talk to me then maybe I could set the record straight. That person is TOO arrogant for that person’s own good.
***
I wish people would stop ASSUMING. (ha, im one to talk but seriously!).
Just because i’m nice to someone doesn’t really mean I LIKE THAT PERSON. Just because I cheer for that person it doesn’t mean that I LIKE THAT SOMEONE too.

All you have to do is come up to me and ASK.
That would make everyone’s lives EASIER:)
Trust me.
Boo.

“Your heart is not living until it has experienced pain. The pain of love breaks open the heart even if it is as hard as a rock” -Hazel Inayat Kuan

Interesting quote huh? Interesting bloggering as well. Haha.

Well, I’ve got about a week left until school starts again and I just decided to pull my life together and just MOVE on. Forget about the things with which I cannot change and just enjoy the things that are actually present in my life

You know what saddens me? The amount of kids who go to sleep hungry every single day. Its kindda upsetting because most of us worry about what we’re going to wear tomorrow while there are others who go to sleep at night thinking if they would still live to see the next day. Its kind of dramatic BUT that doesn’t take away the reality of it. Its sad and I pray everyday that I could do more than just pray.
***
In line with that its also disheartening to know that there are about a million kids in Ethopia who are not studying. Sad fact because those fortunate ones go and waste the chance they’ve got to study. All they do is party and immerse themselves in superficial things. Sad and kind of pathetic if you ask me.
***
I guess the reason why most people are lonely these days its because they tend to look inward instead of outward. They tend to find things to satisfy them without thinking that maybe making others happy would be the ultimate bliss for everyone. I don’t know just a thought… Think about it okay?

***

boo for those people who don’t do anything else but brag about their clothes and oh so busy social lives. As if your parties actually help people in need. It just satisfies you for what? Thirty minutes until you get too wasted to remember? I’m all for a good time but seriously no one has to hear about it EVERY SINGLE TIME. I hate people who constantly begin thier sentences with, “There’s this party..”, “I know this person she/he was on the cover of”… well you know the deal.

please. a little more sensible things to talk about:)

My feet are seriously blistered right now.

I constanly bump into things and I constantly wear flipflops that totally hurt at the end of the day. I swear right now I could hardly move. Ohwell. That’s what I get for being a klutz.

Kings vs. TNT tom. I SO hope we win:)
