Happy _________ Day?

heck, its just that I don't feel right today. It has been years and years, and never have I greeted my Dad.

Last Wednesday Night, he had been pushing me to give up of all my extra-curricular activities. Last night, we had a text fight for not going home early. It really made me feel bad for he called me words and for judging me easily, as if I'm not his son. (To note: I'm even carrying his name)

I just don't get it.

He wants to give up all my extra-curricular work, but he's enjoying my winnings.

He wants me to excel in every field, but he's always discouraging me.

Age gap is a factor. He's turning 63 this June 25th, and I'm just 19. Almost 40 years of difference,

I just don't feel that he's my father, except when I'm getting my allowance, tuition and only for some few times in a year. He never knew everything about me as a person and as an individual.

Today, I've been hearing what makes a father great, or what a father is. I really felt sad for not having one. :( Sigh.

Still, amidst all my rants, I know he needs me now at this time that we're facing a big bump ahead in a period of few years.

Election 2010 Senatorial Preferences

I find it sad to see old Traditional Politicians [TRAPO] still clinging inside the "Magic 12" of Senatorial Surveys over the past months. I hope the trend will change, or rather, these crappy surveys will not reflect the true voice of the people.

I would definitely campaign for those who are really deserving to win, and those whom I think can make a difference and can do something based on their previous experiences and projects.

1. Acosta, Neric (LP) - Environmental Economics and Development, Education, Livelihood, Justice and Human Rights
2. Biazon, Ruffy (LP) - Poverty Alleviation, Defense and Public Safety, and Socio-Economic Reforms
3. Defensor - Santiago, Miriam (PRP-PMP) - Anti-Graft and Corruption, Agrarian Reform, Energy, and Foreign Relations
4. Drilon, Frank (LP) - Justice and Public Policy, Anti-Graft and Corruption, Peace and Stability
5. Guingona, Teofisto III (LP) - Budget Reform, Consumer Rights, Food, Health, Education, and Disaster Risk Management
6. Hontiveros - Baracquel, Risa (LP), a Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Population and Reproductive Health, National Peace and Stability, Socio-Economic Reforms, and Gender Equality
7. Marcos, Ferdinand Jr. (NP) - Renewable Energy, Tourism, Agriculture, and Infrastructures
8. Recto, Ralph (LP) - Trade and Economic Policies, Agriculture, Infrastructures and Technology
9. Remulla, Gilbert (NP) - Population, Environment, and Youth Representation
10. Roco, Sonia (Aksyon-LP) - Health, Education, Environment and Gender Issues
11. Tamano, Adel (NP) - Youth, Education, Transparency and Good Governance

The 12th spot is still vacant, although its a toss between Satur Ocampo, Pia Cayetano, and Liza Masa.

Just to say, in my opinion, as much as possible DO NOT VOTE for Jinggoy Estrada, Tito Sotto and Lito Lapid, I don't say that they are not capable of the position, but still, there are better and deserving to the post than these three. There are people who can do things better than what Estrada, Sotto and Lapid can do.

Pitstop: A Season of Personal Inquiry

Just a thought after we, Kim, Alex and I, had a talk about this matter over dinner and somehow concluded that it is may be for us,

"...a year of contemplation..."

I believe that majority of my batch are having this kind of dilemma. Taking a pause amidst everything in order to have a moment to think and reflect. Having different questions about life, purpose and ambition. To reinstate one's dreams with one's achievements, and to prepare one's self in making a big leap from adolescence to young adulthood.

For most people, its a mere question of "Where do I go from here?" having been able to finish one's academic requirements and be able to fully cross the bounds to the real adult world. It is a question of purpose, if what they have taken is right, if it suits their own preferences. A question of ambition, taking a pause in order to make things hit the goal.

Now, it is a different material in my case, not being able to make it in time for graduation, for it is a deeper sense of inquiry wherein I am even questioning my own decisions in life. "How can I cope up? Am I still on the right track?", a question that panics me to rush up and strike things right, that I may be able to correct all the wrong decisions in the past.

Heck, Maturity strikes us at this age. A solitary challenge that we ought to face in order to prepare ourselves for a bigger task that life will bring in the mere future, as young adults.

shooting stars. hitting the moon.

a quote i just overhead from a TV Interview, heck, its true.

As people tries to aim to shoot the distant bright stars, would it be far different if you'd hit the moon? To think, the moon appears bigger than the stars, easier to reach without any hassles and all.

I believe that, people should be thankful, although aimed for the stars. had hit the moon than missed everything. Sigh.

on being delayed...

sigh. oo ako na ang hindi makakagraduate on time, but I know in time. :)

Well, i know this is the time na mas madalas na akong inaasar or what, ang daming nagtatanong at madami din ang naguguluhan. Ano pa nga ba magagawa ko eh andito na to. Ewan ko, pero naisip din kaya ng mga tao na nalulungkot din ako, na sana andun ako sa Baccalaureate Mass sa friday, wala na akong exams next week, at graduation na next2 week. Sadya nga bang matatag lang ako at hindi ko na iniisip ang mga bagay na to. Ngayon lang nagssink-in sa akin ang lahat.

Ginagawa ko nalang biro ang lahat. Tinatawanan ang bawat asar at bawat pintas na inaabot ko. Nakangiti man ako, pero nung una nasasaktan din, ewan ko ba at medyo naging manhid na din ako sa bawat asar na naririnig ko.

Hindi ako makatulog. Iniisip kung bakit ako pa ang binigyan ng ganitong case. Sana pala noong una palang hindi na ako nakinig sa magulang ko, tumuloy nalang ako sa gusto kong course. Ang masakit din kasi, nasstereotype kaming mga delayed students. Hindi naman kami tanga kung tutuusin, may mga bagay lang talaga na dapat isaalang-alang. Sadyang nagkamali lang ako sa desisyon, excuse man pero totoo. Nakakasawa na marinig na sabihin ng mga tao na "pumasa ka naman!". Parang tingin mo ba ayoko pumasa?! tss.

Walang taong gugustuhin ang madelay, kung alam mo naman na kakayanin mo makagraduate in time, pero sadyang hindi ko pa panahon, hindi ko pa panahon. May dahilan ang lahat.

Naisip ko naman, bata pa naman ako kung tutuusin, accelerated at wala pa talaga sa tamang edad. Mauna man sila sa graduation, alam ko mauunahan ko naman sila maging stable at malay natin maging successful sa buhay. :D

Conversations with Ma'am Yanga

I never thought that I'll be encountering my DREAM COURSE in my whole college life. I remembered when I filed my General Education Course Rankings in UPLB, I ranked Geography as the highest and my most desired. In our Humanities2 class under Sir Foe in Accountancy, I perfected every geography quiz and exercises. He was even surprised, I only took the quiz late and just answered it all in 5 mins and still managed to have a perfect score.

as I shifted to AB Economics, woah! I was that too excited for our Contemporary World Geography Class. I really wanted to top the class and earn a high grade, if possible a 1.0 Grade. :)

I was on the right track until I missed one quiz. I asked Ma'am Yanga and pleaded for a special one. Here's a glimpse of our conversation, (not the exact words per se, only what i have remembered)



Guille: "Ma'am pwede po ako magspecial quiz? please..."


Ma'am Yanga: "Hindi na pwede eh, ok lang yun Mr. Francisco, mataas naman yung quiz mo before, tsaka maganda presentation niyo."


Guille: "Hindi ma'am eh, sayang... favorite ko pa naman tong subject... pwede pa po ba? Ang laking impact nung ZERO..."


Ma'am: "Ganun talaga, WE HAVE OUR OWN PRIORITIES, PINILI MONG UMABSENT, ANO BA NAMAN TONG SUBJECT KO? MINOR LANG NAMAN TO... ok lang yan, kaya mo pa naman bumawi, mataas naman grades mo"

(nangongonsensya pa si ma'am... amp)


Guille: "Ma'am! WHY BE SATISTFIED AND SETTLE FOR LESS? IF I KNOW I CAN GET A HIGHER GRADE" :P

On the Radar Imagines... (Philippine Star)

(The Philippine Star) Updated December 27, 2009 12:00 AM

http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=535822&publicationSubCategoryId=453


MANILA, Philippines - As the saying goes, there’s always a time for everything. A time for studying, time for friends, time for family, and then there’s time for PLAY. There’s a hundred and one things to do these days. Our generation is blessed with an entire bevy of advancements that make play possible. Mobile technology allows us to enjoy music and games whenever, wherever. Sports such as frisbee, surfing, wakeboarding, and diving have become accessible and enjoyable as more and more peeps start to engage in them. When it comes to fashion, it is undeniable that more stylephiles are born as they find their own style savvy through the various retail brands and burgeoning online shops.

Samsung is the curator of the youth’s passions and imaginations with their youth-oriented campaign, Samsung I Imagine. Over 10,000 shout-outs were submitted by students all over the metro at the www.samsungimagine.com sharing their shout-outs about TALK, PLAY, and LOVE. The winners received exciting prizes such as P30,000 cash, the Samsung Corby mobile phone, Samsung ST500 Dual LCD Camera, Samsung CLP-315 printer, Samsung LapFit LD190G monitor, 5 Samsung “I Imagine” hoodies to keep or giveaway, and P10,000 worth of gift certificates from Folded & Hung.

Best of all, they earn bragging rights as their shout-outs will be printed in trendy hoodies by cool and hip brand, Folded and Hung. The hoodies will be available by January 2010 in select Folded and Hung stores, proceeds of which will be donated to Samsung Hope which sends underprivileged kids back to school.

Last week, “On The Radar” profiled the winner for the TALK category, Isabela Martinez from University of Sto. Tomas (UST) who won with her shout-out, “I imagine and I will make it happen.” This week, we let you in on the imaginations and passions of Guille Francisco, 19 y.o, taking up AB in Economics from University of Sto. Tomas (UST) who won in the PLAY category with his shout-out: “I Imagine our generation united in one beat.”


What do you enjoy most about school?

There is always something new every day — new discoveries, thoughts, experiences and memories.


What are the things you firmly believe in?

I believe in destiny, that we will be walking along our own paths and that we will be involved in certain events, making certain decisions and meet certain people at a certain time, certain place and certain reason concerning one’s self and his/her relation to others.


What are you passionate about?

I have this passion for the Arts, in photography and multimedia arts, passion for learning by which I enjoy studying to discover new ideas and thoughts, and the passion for leadership and service being a student leader.


At this age, what do you think is life’s most important lesson?

“God doesn’t give problems that one can’t solve.”

At our age, our perspective in dealing with problems and challenges is what I believe is an important lesson. We must learn to have that courage to face challenges and to look above to see the vast blue sky — to see hope in every problem.


What are you most grateful for?

My life. I am grateful for everything that has happened in my life. If not even for my own mistakes and misleadings, I will not be the person I am today (and probably I may not have won this contest after all.)


Describe yourself in one word.

Persistent. I continuously refuse to give up, and still fight amidst all the opposition and challenges that lies along my path.


What is the one thing that not a lot of people know about you?

I guess not everyone can see how I deal with issues in my life in a serious way, a different and deep perspective of a person too friendly and active from a first glance.


How do you see yourself in five years?

For now, I see myself pursuing higher studies, working as an economist and probably a part-time instructor in a university. Though still, I may be inclined towards activities related to art and photography.


How did you know about the Samsung I Imagine Shout-out Making contest?

Through their TV ad.


How did you come up with your statement? What was your inspiration?

Music served as my inspiration, wherein I used the word “Beat” that implied two thoughts which I incorporated in my statement — the beat of music and the beat of our hearts.


How important is it for the society to hear the voice of the youth?

Youth serves as the source of hope and inspiration for change. It is perhaps us, the youth, who can make the change that our parents dream for our society.


Describe the feeling when you learned that out of 10,000 entrants, you won the contest.

I thought winning in this contest seemed too far to be possible for me. I couldn’t believe that I really had won the contest at first, but then I feel so much blessed and grateful being chosen among thousands who have joined.


How do you feel about the Samsung I Imagine campaign as an avenue for youth expression?

This campaign has imbued the spirit of expression, awakened the thoughts and insights among the youth. This has also allowed the youth to partake in what I have imagined, that our generation is united in a beat — the beat to express their imagination.


In your own little ways, how can you turn your imagination (your shout-out) into reality?

Having one beat amongst the youth is not that impossible, perhaps all we need is a common call for our society’s challenge for us.



Whether through sports, fashion, or the arts, as long as we have a common goal, we can be united in one beat. Perhaps now is the time! Imagine how fulfilling that will be!

Bus Trip

For almost a long time since LRT had posted the entries of "Tulaan sa Tren 2", i've been reading different posts and entries inside the train while waiting for the station. I've been wishing to see the first place, and just yesterday, January 8, 2009, with Kim, CJ and Sarah, I've seen the winning entry for the first time in LRT2. Cool! :D

BUS TRIP
by Raymond G. Falgui

(Tulaan sa Tren 2 - 1st Place)

Striking my head out the window
on a bus flying past the legal limit,
the wind whistles through one ear
and blasts a hole out the other --
screaming, it tugs at the roots of my hair --
drawing tears that
only disappear.

the world is so much a blur
when seen better

(excuse me, the wind blew the worlds apart)

the world is so much better
when seen as a blur

Twenty Five

The warm and bright lights are just in sight.
My heart sees nothing but mere illusions,
Illusions of what was supposed to be the season of love.

Damn the feeling of this solitary freedom.
How to fly in the vast sky with only a wing to flap?
I don't want to face the world alone with a broken heart.

When will my heart be enlightened?
That I may face the world even in nobody's shadow,
That I may withstand the current of winter against my body.

How could this season remind me of such lonely feeling.
Lies between my fingers is an evidence of loneliness
The space finds its partner to fill in the emptiness.

Until when will I sleep in this indefinite distress
I'll await the spring to come and shift the prevailing wind.
May it replenish the life I once had and rejuvenate my soul.

The city sleeps in bright lights and carols of joy,
Everyone dreams of faith and hope
but my heart just suddenly weeped in thoughts of you.

Oh such bittersweet Christmas.

The Frustrated Architect and the CSC Paskuhan Float

After lahat ng hirap, CONGRATS CSC! Sikat ang baby nating lahat - our UST400 Float.


Congrats to Tope and Yziel, as well as to my co-team leaders Anna, Alex, Poli, Justine Boy and all, sa mga nagovernight at nagpahiram ng materials, Ate Jeanne, Joko, Marge, Kuya Cachi, Ate Chesca, Kuya Jarry, Nicole, Kim, Kat, Juancho, Guggles, Roan, PI, Karen, Yzza, Dane, Hannah, Pipoy. Thanks to my Team Xmas Tree: Kirby, CJ, Jeff, Sarah, Fathy, Angiel, Paowee. Astig!

I thought my ideas would flop or so, it's better than what I've imagined before as I am planning and analyzing Cathy's Design (Cathy Mendoza, President of CFADSC). Nagkaroon pa ng times na gusto ko na sumuko for I can't manage things right since isa ako sa naghandle ng operations ng paggawa ng float. Kinabahan din ako for I just used assumptions and mere prediction sa mga gagamiting materials, sizes and quantity.

Thanks Team CSC. :D

Nakakatawa din dahil it is a time to release all my frustrations for Architecture. I even drew sketches and pseudo-blueprints. Ate Chesca (former CSC Secretary) even thought I had a year in Arki being able to draw such, pero sobrang amateur attempt lang talaga yun ginawa ko.

Here's our baby. :D

Paskuhan 2009

"It was really a good night"
There's always something new every Paskuhan.


After lahat ng hirap at pagod, overnight sa Tan Yan Kee, pamimili at lahat, naayos din namin yung Float.

Nakakatuwa din dahil for the past years, pagdating ng 10PM, medyo Nababawasan na yung mga tao, pero this paskuhan, puno pa din ng tao yung field. Sobrang kakaiba yung program, nakakakilabot nung sinisindihan na yung candles during the prayer. Ibang klase nung pinerform na yung Quadricentennial Song then Fireworks. Astig!

Sabi nga nung isang nakausap namin, "Sana every year, ganito ang paskuhan".

What a memorable paskuhan experience. :)

Life is a game.

"Life is full of 'what if's' and these 'what if's' always ends to a discovery - one must have the courage to step out his/her own boundaries that he/she may learn something new about life."

After hearing thoughts and after drinking enough alcohol, gumana bigla ang utak ko para magblog. To Nicole, Alex and Kim, this one's not about you peeps, random thoughts lang since ginising niyo utak ko. haha! :D



I do believe that one must seize every moment while it lasts, although I'm optimistic that I'll live longer, I still wanted to be happy while I am still existing in this world. Life is just too fast to handle, there are things that you'll regret that you haven't done, there are things that you'll long to have, and stuffs. It is full of surprises, one will be discovering and experiencing stuffs from time to time, which started from just a simple thought and idea.

There are people who will end up contented with their life for they have stepped out of their box and had seen life in a bigger picture, while there are some who will be stuck in what they have. Destiny is just a game, play along and defeat every challenges, gain points and experience and after everything, we'll earn the reward that destiny would like us to have. We are still the player of our life, we have the gameplan to conquer and win this game that destiny had set.

As we play along, we will encounter challenges that we must face and we'll eventually win or lose. One must have the courage to break the boundaries and move on with life, the game will not move on for one to win the whole thing, it is the player who must dare to make the move to win.

In order not to regret in the end, one must be courageous enough to make the move to live life in its fullest.

2nd Semester 2009-2010

Ako nagayos ng schedule ko pero ewan ko ba kung bakit parang may ginawa akong pattern. Haha.

HST101: History of Western Civilization - Assoc. Prof. Carlito Dalangin

ECO8: Econometrics - Dr. Alvin Ang

RESM/PW: Research Methods and Proposal Writing - Prof. Narita Ellar

CWG: Contemporary World Geography - Ms. Analiza Yanga

POL221: Dynamics of Philippine Politics - Dr. Lysander Padilla

FIL3: Retorika - Prof. Milagros Aquino

SPN2: Intermediate Spanish - Señorita Vanessa

Sa wakas may 3rd year Major na din ako, though my and my other shifter colleagues were not able to take the pre-requisite (Eco7: Statistics for Economists), still kakayanin namin to, having a background in Basic Statistics.

Its also a first for me to experience the dreaded "3-Hour, once a week" AB Schedule. So we only have 11-13 meetings, and we are given max of 3 absences, otherwise we'll incur a failure due to absence. Unlike our 3times a week schedule, which I find comfortable and flexible.

Wala pa rin naman nagbago with the section choices, ganun pa din. Sabog. I have 7 sections in 5 majors (Economics, Legal Management, Communication Arts, Philosophy, Behavioral Science), Full Irregular student ulit ako. haha!

Goodluck! :D

The White Sheep

Kada isang pamilya ay sinasabing may black sheep, heck in our case, may white sheep.


I'm not bragging for being such, pero its how i feel. its not even the exact opposite, dahil kahit sabihin na hindi ako yung nagiging masama, pero still i'm being punished or being discriminated for being the good guy.

I feel bad, lalo na ngayon na our family is facing a problem, a big problem. My dad is having a serious health problem at the age of 62, sana maging ok na siya. Nagulat lang ako sa sinabi ng tita ko kanina na "alagaan niyo, baka mamaya makita niyo patay na yang daddy niyo", to think na yung tita ko is 80+ na, kaya medyo nakakatakot. bothered pa rin ako.

Kanina ko lang narealize na gusto ko nang gumraduate, that even at least kung sakali mang mawala na ang daddy ko *knocks on wood* eh maabutan man lang niya yung graduation ko, that even one of his sons would allow him to be proud just even for that moment. Alam ko na sobrang taas ng expectations niya sa akin, being the youngest, lahat ng burden ng parents ko sa mga kuya ko ay naipon sa akin, graduation, having a job, and all.

Sobrang deviant ko sa family, thinking na ako ang nagmumukhang white sheep of the black sheeps, i don't blame my brothers for such, pero nagmumukhang ako pa ang mali at sila ang tama, by which kinasasama ng loob ko. Mali ang pagsali ko sa orgs, mali para sa kanila na magpakaactive ako sa school at mag-aral ako ng matino. Masama for them na magstarbucks ako at doon mag-aral at iba pa. Kaya even my parents wouldn't allow me to have stuffs na hinihingi ko sa kanila, lalo na't malaki ang age gap namin ng parents ko. My dad is 62, my mom is 59, and 19 lang ako.

Of all sons, ako yung tinatawagan parati ng parents ko, ako lang ung pag 11PM wala pa sa bahay, tinatawagan na. I mean at my brothers' time, hindi nila to naranasan, sa akin sobra sila, eh ako nga yung tipong hindi maglalasing ng sobra at maglalayas ng ilang araw.

Sila na ang tama. Ako na ang mali. I just needed their support, kaya siguro ako pinanghinaan at nauwi sa ganito ang sitwasyon ko. Hindi naman ako humihiling ng sobrang laking bagay from them, pero hindi pa din nila ako sinusuportahan even in simple things. sigh.


But still I'll do my best, kahit without much of their support and that before things get worse, I'll be able to make them proud. :)

Reunion Thoughts...

SJA IV-Courage Sembreak GetTogether
November 6, 2009 @ our house
[not present in the picture: Lesmer and Renz]

Andami palang nagbago sa amin mula nung HS, andaming bagong pangyayari sa loob ng apat na taon sa aming sari-sariling pakikipagsapalaran sa kanya-kanyang buhay sa iba't-ibang unibersidad. May ilang pumayat, may ilang tumaba, may ilan na nagbago ng itsura at may ilan din naman na ganun pa din ang kinasanayang gawin.

Gaya ko, may iilan din palang nagshift at may iilang maddelay sa graduation. At yung mga hindi ineexpect na maddelay nung HS yun pa ang mga maddelay. Siguro dahil hindi rin naman namin inexpect na magiging mahirap din ang papasukan naming mga unibersidad.

Hindi ko alam pero sa tuwing napapagusapan ang Graduation, para bang handa na akong depensahan ang sarili ko at maging confident pa na isagaw na "oo maddelay ako!", napapagisip tuloy ako, pero naisip ko ang lagi kong sinasabi, at least alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ako nagshortcut sa buhay, mas lamang na ako sa dami ng pinagdaanan ko.

Ginagawa ko nalang siyang biro, pero di ko maiwasang pagisipan na dapat ngayong darating na March, graduate na dapat ako. buti na lang at 2007 ang start ng student ID ko at bata pa ako. Gaya nga ng sabi ng mama ko, "ok lang yan, bata ka pa naman!" kung tutuusin dapat 19years old palang ako graduate na ako. pero sa mangyayari sa akin 21 na ako sa graduation, by which is the normal age. Pero sayang pa din. Sigh.

Nakakatuwa at iba't iba sa amin ay may kanya-kanyang baong kwento, unang naguusap ang mga magkakasama. Pagdating ko nga, kinausap ako agad ni Lesmer at nagusap tungkol sa buhay-buhay sa student leader sa Tan Yan Kee building ng USTe. Hindi ako makapaniwala na maga-apat na taon na pala ang lumipas since makagraduate kami ng HS, at humandang humarap sa panibagong hamon ng kolehiyo.

Sana magkitakita ulit kami bago magGraduation ng iba, mahirap na at baka hindi na kami magkasama-sama ulit.

Nakakatuwa. Nakakamiss. :D

Preparing the Last Chapter

Papaano ba tapusin ang matagal na palang tapos?


Sadyang bulag at nagmamaang-maangan lang siguro ako nang hindi ko pansinin ang totoong nangyayari. Kumakapit pa at umaasang maaayos ang lahat kahit alam mong hindi na talaga pwede.

Tumatakas ako sa mundo, para hindi niya hanapin ang dapat ay huling yugto na magsasabi ng mga kasagutan. Hinihintay na lamang ang bawat salitang bibitawan ko, takot ako magkamali, takot akong makagawa ng hindi tama dahil isang pagkakamali na lang, wala na ang dalawang taon kong pinaghirapan. Ako naman si tanga, umasa, binitawan mo na pala ako noon pa lang.

Manhid na siguro ako kaya hindi ako makaiyak ng kahit isang luha, tulog na nga ba ang puso kong umaasa pa na maaayos ang lahat? Ayoko na.

Bakit ganun?
You've always been there during my best - JUST during my best. Nasaan ka nung nangailangan ako? nasaan ka ngayong naguguluhan at nahihirapan ako? Habang nanlulumo ako sa huling yugtong aking isusulat, ikaw nama'y humahawak sa kamay ng iba, nagpapakasaya kasama ng iba. Ganun na lamang ba ako para ipagpalit ng kay bilis?

Sigh. Ewan.

Ilang araw nalang ay matatapos ko na ang huling yugto.
Sisimulan ko na ang pagbibilang ng 3-Months na hindi mo man lang naisip.


Matapos ang aklat na ito, ipapakita ko sa mundo ang lahat ng inakala mong hindi ko kaya.

What Major is Right for you

WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

You scored as a Visual&PerformingArts

You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in the Visual or Performing Arts (e.g., Art, Art Education, Art History, Ceramics, Culinary Arts, Dance, Drawing, Fashion Design, Film, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Marketing (advertising), Music, Music Education, Music Theory, Painting, Photography, Theatre). It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests.

History/Anthropology/LiberalArts 81% Visual&PerformingArts 81% HR/BusinessManagement 75% French/Spanish/OtherLanguage 69% Accounting/Finance/Marketing 63% Psychology/Sociology 56% English/Journalism/Comm 56% Education/Counseling 56% PoliticalScience/Philosophy 56% Religion/Theology 44% Biology/Chemistry/Geology 44% Physics/Engineering/Computer 38% Nursing/AthleticTraining/Health 31% Mathematics/Statistics 25% merely true! no.4 choice ko ang Accountancy!! during my 4th year, i usually choose Film and AV Communication as my first, followed by Architecture, then Tourism or Economics, and my fourth Accountancy.. Tama pala ang choice ko for Liberal Arts. :) take this quiz!

Waiting for the Last Dance

I'm hearing the symphony again although in a different tune, singing our melodies of love. But where were you all along? You've left a clue, but i wouldn't believe that you can leave me all alone and be in the arms of another. Yes, jealousy and bitterness have taken over me, at least I am aware of the fact that I have to weep for things happened. Its seems that you were able to smile again - good for you. I'll always be happy for you.

You've given me freedom, but left me still in slave of your love. I am left misunderstood and misjudged. How can things work out? Yes, I am crying foul for things did not worked out right. Don't worry I'll be ready to accept everything. Tell me that you already don't and I'll be the one to raise the white flag and accept the defeat.

If you are to give me freedom, give it wholeheartedly.
Let's finish the last dance, if this is what you really want.

Is it time to begin our last dance? that I may already weep and be defeated in good faith. I'll let the world embrace and hide me from all the pain, take me away from all this uncertainty that you may already start anew.

Sa Bingit ng Isang Paalam

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat gawin at hindi ko din alam kung ano ang dapat sabihin. Nakatulala lang ako at naghihintay ng pagkakataon na makapagpaliwanag, pero hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa din alam ang sasabihin ko kung sakali mang magkaroon ng pagkakataon na makapagusap.

"isang paalam" ito lang pala ang katapat ng lahat. Ang dalawang taong paglalakbay ay napahinto lang ng ilang salitang binitiwan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan pang mapatagal ang lahat, may problema na pala pero hindi pa sinasabi. Pero oo nga pala, hindi nga pala talaga kami di ba? sino ako para magreklamo sa bagay-bagay.

Hindi ba't dapat sa isang relasyon, hindi lang isa ang may problema? hindi lang din isa ang tama, sabi nga sa One More Chance "it takes two grown-ups to make a relationship work".

Ang masakit, bakit hindi kayang maghintay, bakit hindi kayang makinig, bakit hindi kayang umintindi. Sa panahon ng pinakakailangan ko ng pag-unawa, tsaka pa bumitaw. Alam kong madami akong pagkukulang pero hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit kailangang yumakap sa iba para lang maibsan ang lamig na nadarama. Kaya ngayon hindi ko alam kung saan at papaano ang gagawin, dahil masyadong nabigla ang lahat.

Kailan kaya ang pagkakataon na makapagusap dahil sa ngayon tayo'y tila nasa bingit pa rin ng isang paalam.



Kailangan nating isiping lubos
Ano nga bang ating dahilan?
Sa’n nga ba tayo nakatuon?
Kay rami nang mga nagdaan

Sa isang paalam lamang ba lahat magtatapos?
