Something not beautiful in the eyes

This photos where not taken in an abandoned building or something okay? Although it looks like one, its one of the views at the main bldg of PUP(particularly at the east wing of the 5th floor). Sometimes I pity myself and my fellow PUPians when it comes to the physical condition of our beloved alma mater. If you would just compare the facilities of our school from those private universities, you would say that PUP is very left behind. Imagine how old the main bldg was. Its so sad to know that some students from other schools discriminate us PUPians maybe because of our poor facilities and low tuition fee(P12 per unit. yes you read it right)


It makes me think back my past experience when I was still a freshie at the university. It was a total culture-shock for me. PUP is really different from CSA where i spent my 12 years since pre-school up to highschool. But as the Filipino saying goes "sanayan lang yan."


But in spite of the present condition of the university, the PUPians still emerged victorious. Victory in the sense of the academic and professional field. Modesty aside, PUP is one of the consistent top performing school in different licensure examinations conducted by the government especially in the field of accounting and engineering. Isn't great? In the world today, we should learn how to be practical. Where can you find a 12 peso per unit offering university that gives you a high quality of education? Only in PUP. We should always be optimistic enough to bear in mind that nothing can stop from achieving our dreams-- not even the physical condition of our school.


All in all I have no regret enrolling in this university. I believe that this institution will be the stepping stone in reaching my dreams. So for my fellow PUPians:

wag tayo puro reklamo, matutong magtiyaga. hindi matagal ang apat na taong pagtitiis at pag-aaral

"What good is a diamond if not heated to perfection"

Learning...

Just want to share some experiences of mine this past 2 days. Im so happy to know that our accounting prof is so nice. She's very good in motivating us students to work harder at every acti

vity she asks us to do. But thats just my opinion. I think its too subjective to say that she is nice. I mean everyone has his/her opinion. But as for me, 2 thumbs up for her. I think Im gonna do better this sem in my accounting class.

Just want to share something about my accounting class earlier. I am called in front to do some board work by my prof. The problem assigned for me is not that hard but i dont know why it took me several minutes to finish it. I mean I am so pressured that time that I felt a total black-out in my mind. Im so stressed because I know its just an easy problem but still Im having a hard time answering it. I felt so anxious for the reason that im afraid to looked stupid in front of th

e class. But thanks to Prof. Mauricio, instead of yelling me because of my mistakes, she gave me a strong motivation. I'll quote what she said in front of the class " You know class, its normal for us to have mistakes because nobody's perfect. Meron namang maganda sa ginawa ng classmate niyo(thats me), meron syang patience and he perservere. Meron nga tayong kasabihan, whenever we commit mistakes, dyan nagsisimula ang tunay na katalinuhan." That words of her really touched me and encourage me to do better. A few minutes later she again called me to answer a problem in front. But that time was different, I answered and discussed to the class the solutions well. So my prof gave me a compliment again.hahaha.

I know thats this journal is non-sense but for me its not. That was a blissful moment for me. Im really learning a lot from that professor of mine.

Thinking of tomorrow...

another week have been included in the history. I'm kinda disturbed right now because of the fact that i have to work really hard in my acads because i have to take the special qualifying exam. I'm now thinking if I should resign as the auditor of KALIPI. I know that its kinda selfish move but its choice i have to take. This sem is the deciding sem for my future. I have to do my best if I don't want to be a frustrated dreamer. No more gimiks, no more hang-outs, no more dates(i consider it a date whenever when we're together) for now. Should take studies seriously.

I really hate it when my laziness attacks me. Its so hard for me to keep it off. Maybe I'm a little bit uninspired right now. hahaha. I need a strong motivation. I don't know where to pull that motivation. Maybe in something, or perhaps, with SOMEONE. How about that?haha


Oh its already 11:20 PM. I still have classes tomorrow at 7:00 AM. I thinks its time for a rest. Thank you for reading anyway. Hope you can be with me as I reach my DREAM...=)

aimed at an empty block at the back of his property. Patty Winter would
constantly complain to the local sheriff's officers about the noise and
the potential risk of fire. Mr Hame was served with a notice to remove
the engine immediately. Not liking this he invited Miss Winter over
for a cup of coffee and a chat about the whole situation. What Winter

walked into the yard he activated it, hitting her with a blast of 5,000
degrees, killing her instantly, and forever burning her outline into the
driveway.

11- Michael Lewis, angry at his gay boyfriend, used the movie, Die Hard
With a Vengeance as inspiration. He drugged his boyfriend, Tony Berry,
into an almost catatonic state, then dressed him only in a double
sided white board that read Death to all Niggers! on one side, and God
Loves the KKK. On the other. Lewis then drove the victim to downtown Harlem
and dropped him off.
Two minutes later Berry was deceased.

12- Military Sergeant John Joe Winter killed his two timing wife by
loading her car with Trintynitrate explosive (similar to C4). The Ford
Taurus she was driving was filled with 750 kgs of explosive, forming a

by several persons some up to 14 kilometers away. No trace of the car or
the victim were ever found, only a 55 meter deep crater, and 500m of
missing road. ....Ü

My Dream

I believe that every person has a dream. A dream that will be their inspiration as the wheel of life continues to roll. Life without a dream is like joining a race without a finish line. You strive hard to be the number one but still you can’t win because it doesn't have an end. I'll quote what Hans Selye said, “Those who are realistic and practical are less realistic and practical in the long run than those who dream big dreams and passionately pursue them.” But the best part of dreaming is that you can dream as high as the impossible for free. There are no boundaries--only possibilities .

What is your dream? Perhaps if you will ask a college student like me with this question you will only obtain a relatively same answer and that is to finish studies. Well its true. I want to finish my degree and become a Certified Public Accountant and perhaps someday, become a CPA Lawyer. That was my long time dream. That’s why I'm striving hard in my studies. Sleepless nights are already a normal routine for me. It is not easy for me to concentrate well in my academics because I also have co-curricular activities particularly in the Student Council and in another organization. But despite of the hardships that I encounter, I still remain to stand it all because I believe that it’s all a part of being a leader. Being a leader means sacrifice. A good leader knows how to balance everything but still prioritize what is more important. And as a student, studies must be above everything else.

Some people are asking me why I am keeping myself busy to things that do not give me pay in return. I always answer them with another question. Is money the only thing that can make you happy? I do all of these stuff because I want to serve my fellow students. It gives me a satisfying feeling whenever I cater the needs of my constituents. They endowed their trust in me that’s why I have the responsibility to take good care of that trust. In the future as professionals, we will all become leaders. So why not start training myself right now? That’s one thought that have come on my mind why did I accepted such big responsibilities.

Everybody dreams to be happy. But that happiness cannot be achieved by dreaming alone. Dreaming and action must be aggregated in order to succeed. There’s no such thing as broken dreams. If you think you already did your best to achieve that dream and still fail in the end that only means that God has a better plan for you. Let’s not forget that God still knows best. Have faith in Him. In every failure there are a lessons learned. And that will become another significant element to succeed. So what is my dream? I dream to be happy and make others happy as well. Let me end my essay with a quote:

“Dream as if you'll live forever, and live as if you'll die tomorrow “

My Student Council Election Experience

this post is about my experience in the previous SC Election last feb. 2007. i know its kinda late but i just want to share that memorable moment of mine.

here it goes:

Being a candidate of our Local Student Council is big privilege for me. I really want to serve my fellow student that’s why I’m very eager to win the position as a Councilor of our college. Kilos! PUP party helped me to reach my goal. I really enjoyed my campaign running under the banner of Kilos. During the campaign period, I saw what unity is really all about. All the candidates together with the campaign managers and paralegals did their best to let the students know what the party really wants for the university. As what we have always saying, Kilos! PUP party aims to have a “Transparent, Effective, and Responsive Student Government. ”

In behalf of the Kilos! CoA, I want to thank all the BSA students who handed their trust to Kilos to continue its vision to serve the College of Accountancy students. The victory of Kilos! CoA is a victory of the BSA students. Always bear in mind that if we really want to serve our country, we should STUDY.

For me, the real prize I have received in the past election period is not the position. The ultimate prize is the friendship that had been built between me and my colleagues at Kilos Party. Even though not all candidates triumphed, it will not be a hindrance for the Party to serve the students. Like what they say, “Achievers are those who doesn’t know how to quit.” So once again, I thank all the students who laid their trust in the Kilos Party. PUPians, Tara, Kilos Tayo!

Councilor, CoA SC

Usapang Lalaki

Usapang Lalaki

*gabi. usapang lalaki*
*sindi ng yosi*
*hithit*
*buga*

Musta na bestfriend? Ako, ok lang. Nagmumuni-muni. Nagiisip. Kadalasan talaga may mga bagay ng mahirap intindihin.

Ewan ko ba.

Bakit ba ganun, ilang beses ko ng pinag-aralan pero lagi na lang lumalabas na parang kahit 'sang anggulo mo tingnan, hindi nagiging patas para sa mga lalaki ang ilang bagay pagdating sa pagmamahal.

*tingin sa stars*

Minsan naiisip ko, alam kaya ng mga babae ang hirap ng magdesisyon para sa atin kapag nagtapat tayo ng pagmamahal sa kanila? Eh yung hirap na ginagawa natin pagsa-survey para malaman kung ano talaga ang intensyon nila at gusto nila sa isang guy? Ang feeling ng masaktan pag nalaman nating pinaglalaruan lang tayo? Malamang-lamang siguro, hindi ano. Wala naman yata silang alam sa mga desisyong ginagawa natin eh. Ang alam lang ata nila eh liligawan sila, magpapa-asa, mang-trip, at magsaya.

Tingin mo?

*tingin sa malayo*

Lagi namang ganun eh. Una pa lang nahihirapan na tayo. Tingnan mo, pag may gusto tayong babae hindi naman natin masabing "hoy ! tayo na ha" o kaya "hoy! Ako na lang boyfriend mo". Ang pwede lang nating gawin eh mag-pa cute, magpapansin. Tulungan sya sa lalakeng gusto nya. Pag minalas-malas pa eh BESTFRIEND pa natin yun. Magmumukha kang tanga kaka-imagine na sana ikaw na lang yung nagustuhan nya. Buti pa sila, pipili lang ng manliligaw... liligawan... gagawa ng paraan na medyo magpakipot...then, kanila na agad yung gusto nila. At yun ay dahil sa tulong natin! Diba masakit yun? Kung minsan pa, paaasahin lang pala tayong mga lalake... na dapat maging sunud-sunuran tayo sa mga gusto nila, kasi nga alam nilang mahal natin sila. Tayo namang mga tanga, akala natin totoong-totoo na. Konting lambing lang at oras na ibinigay nila, tuwang-tuwa na agad tayo. Ewan ko ba ba't napaka-assuming nating mga lalake...Kaya minsan kahit mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal mo na yung girl malaman mo lang na laro lang sa kanya ang lahat, magdedesisyon tayong iwan at iwasan na sya. Pero sa huli tayo pa rin ang iiyak!!!

Wala tayong magagawa. Marami silang palusot. Minsan huling-huli na sa aktong may katext na iba eh itatanggi pa. Anak naman ng putsa...kesyo "kasama ko sa trabaho", "kaibigan ko", "customer namin", "boyfriend ng kapatid ko", at ang gasgas na "pinsan ko!!!".

"I will give you space to think it over"...yan ang lagi nilang sinasabi pag medyo nanlamig tayo. Akala nila eh meron na tayong iba....kung gano kadali sa kanila ang magpalit, hindi kaya nila alam na yun ang pinakamahirap nating gawin dahil sobrang emotional tayo kapag talagang tinamaan ni kupido...na hangga't maaari hindi natin papakawalan ang babaeng mahal natin...aba! Alam kaya nila ang realidad ng ratio ng lalaki sa babae?

*kuha ng bote ng beer*
*lagok*
*lunok*

At hindi lang yon, sa first month ng relationship I agree na malambing pa yang mga yan. Kesyo, aasikasuhin tayo. Susubuan pa kapag kumakain kayo ng sabay. Magbibigay ng t-shirt, wallet at loveletter/card. Akala mo maamong tupa. Pero pag na-late tayong minsan sa date, ang haba ng sermon at dakdak. Daig pa natin ang nagsimba at umattend ng novena. Ang daming ipagbabawal, dinaig pa ang sentensya ng reclusion perpetua at bitay...Tapos pati suot natin na dati wala silang pakialam eh pupunahin na. Tayo naman, magsusunod na lang pra walang pagtatalo. Manghihinayang na lang sa mga hikaw na binili natin. Ultimong Henna Tattoo na lang, sistahin pa! Bawal ang FHM, bawal ang long hair, bawal ang may punit na pants...aba! Daig pa ang mga nanay natin kung magbawal! Kelangan lagi maayos at pormal para wala masabi ang mga magulang nila sa atin. Sayang naman ang 2 taong pinagwork natin na ibinili pa natin ng mga bagay nayun tapos ultimano ipagbabawal nila! Nawawalan na tayo ng karapatan para sa sarili natin, feeling natin, hndi na tayo kung sino tayo dahil sa pagbabawal at pagbabago nila sa atin.

Sila? May ipinagbabawal ba tayo sa suot nila? Ummm... Teka, isipin ko… meron din naman, lalo na ung masyadong daring.

Para naman sa kanila yung pagbabawal natin, dahil ayaw natin sila mabastos, pagnasaan ng mga nagkalat na manyak at lalo na ang magahasa! Negative at kontra-bida dating natin kapag medyo nasabihan mo sa mga damit nila. Hindi nila naiisip na pinoprotektahan lang naman natin sila sa masasamang elemento at mapagsamantala.

*kuha ng bote ng beer*
*lagok*
*lunok*

Hindi pa yun tapos bestfriend, dahil tayo yung lalake at sila daw ang nagdadala ng relasyon, minsan napapansin mo bang wala ng patutunguhan ang lahat? Dahil mas gusto nilang sumama sa barkada nila kesa saten. Wala tayong oras pumunta sa bar kasama ang mga kaibigan nya...at alam nating hindi sila masaya ng may boyfriend silang katabi o kasama kasi hindi sila makakapagpacute, makakapagpapansin sa mga adan na umaaligid sa kanila. Minsan kung tutuusin, sakit sa ulo..pero dahil mahal natin, nagiging bingi at bulag na lang tayo.

*hinga ng malalim*

*hitit sa yosi*

*buga*

Pero alam mo, tayong mga lalake, mas sincere magmahal. Kase tayo yung sweet, tayo yung caring, thoughtful, tayo yung concern sa kanila, tayo yung understanding. Hindi lang nila alam na kapag tayo ay totoong nagmahal, wagas at dakila. masyado nila kasi gine-generalize ang mga lalaki. iniisip nila lahat na ng lalaki pare-pareho, eh pano tayong mga totoo at matino? Unfair hndi ba? Kung lahat ng feelings na ininvest natin sa kanila eh ininvest natin sa stock market....mayaman na tayo...Mas mature daw sila...siguro kase ginagawa natin silang baby...hindi ba? Seloso lang tayo at yun ang natural din sa lalake...kaya lang ang hirap isipin kapag nagseselos tayo, sasabihin nila kesyo napakaseloso natin...kapag hindi naman tayo nagpakita ng pagseselos ang punchline ng mga putsa..."hindi mo siguro ako mahal dahil ni hindi ka manlang nasasaktan" or “napakamanhid mo naman!”...saan kaya tayo lulugar? Bakit pa kelangan nila tayo pasakitan para lang malaman nilang mahal natin sila?

*hinga ng malalim*
*tingin sa malayo ulit*

*hitit na naman sa yosi*

*buga ulit*

At ito pa ang pinakamasaklap.

*singhot*

Ang ending ng relasyon. Sa mga panahong ito, either may nakita silang lalaking mas macho, may abs o mas pinili nila ang barkada nila. Syempre hindi aamin ang mga yan...gagawa na lang sila ng bagay na ikaiinis natin at paulit-ulit nilang gagawin yun. Tingnan mo, pag lagi silang late o kaya laging may rason pag may date...alam na natin yun...ibig sabihin nun busy sya sa ibang
bagay. Sa pisngi ka na lang nyan hahalikan!!! Pag tumama yan sa oras ng date, obserbahan mo kasi tyak na nag-aalumpihit yan pauwi ng bahay kesyo kelangan umuwi sya ng maaga kasi may ipapagawa ang mommy nya o kaya may pinapatapos ang daddy nya. Kahit yata aso nyan na hindi pa kumakain eh idadahilan nyan. Madalas mo marinig sa kanila na tayong mga lalaki mahilig mangaliwa, mamBABABAE. Bakit, ang mga babae ba hindi na rin nangangaliwa ngayon? Hindi rin ba sila nanLALALAKI? pero aaminin ba nila yan, NEVER! lagi nila pino-project ang clean, demure, innocent chikka charing chuvanes image nila. Tapos babanatan ka pa ng dialogue na "kami ang laging talo sa huli". Haller? as if noh!

*iiling*

*singhot*

Syempre, dahil ganon na ang takbo ng relasyon, feeling natin kontrabida na tayo sa buhay nila. Feeling natin hindi na tayo mahalaga. Dahil ang RELASYON para sa atin ay ORAS... kelangan may oras sila at kelangang may oras para pagusapan ang future...pero pag nawalan na sila ng gana sa relationship... lahat ng oras nila kakainin ng dahilan na hindi nila mawari kung saan huhugutin!
