Moments
I was out most of the time last months, why?
I am just busy with school. Here's where I have been:
Buton beach
Acquaintance at School

Cagsawa with my Advisory

At PHIVOLCS. Such a steep walk to get there. But the view is overlooking the city, so it's AWESOME

At CWC, the wake boarding spot in Bicol

Alay-Lakad while Typhoon Pepeng Strikes. The time I got to climb a dump truck. Whew!!

Experience
We had our tour last week and we checked-in on a dormitory to spend our night.
We decided to explore Naga City, so we came up with the idea to have some bar-hopping adventure. We ate our dinner at San Gabriel Grill and entered the Bistro to have some fun.
Before that, my roommate was worried with her laptop being stolen, so she asked the caretaker to lock our door as we go out for the night. The caretaker didn't give her the key and she missed the idea that we will be late for the evening and the possibility that the caretaker will also be off-duty by the time we will arrive. And that what happens. We came home at 2:30 am with no access to our designated room. Luckily, the next room was open and nobody was staying inside. So, we lay down our tired bodies there and prayed that the caretaker will be back by morning.
Unfortunately, our first itinerary for the next day is scheduled at 7:00 in the morning. The caretaker will report by 7:30 am and we have no option but to make way to open the door because our baggage and things were inside and we need to take a bath before we go out for the next trip. My roommate tried to pick the lock using hairpin with no success. I had watched from House,MD that they use credit cards to open locks. I asked my roommate for some spare cards and I made two attempts with no success. She picked a soft card for me to try again and voila, it opened! Haha. It's my first time to use card to open locks. My experience with picking locks is with using other keys, but since we don't have any other keys by that time, we tried other options and one thing worked. Yahoo.
One activity of our field trip is to visit the dairy farm. They showed us how to milk cows and I volunteered to try it. I was worried that the mother cow will be hurt by pinching her nipples as I try to extract milk from her. As I was pulling it out, no milk comes out, not even a drop. I tried again and huhuhu, I can't make it. Then at my third attempt, instead of milk to pour, the cow urinated and the urine flowed down near my thighs. My students said that they will never forget that kind of experience, instead of milk, the cow gave me urine! That was the first time that I ever milk a cow and my first time was not good enough. What a weird field trip.
By the way, I also discovered today that papercut is true. I just have one and it ached. The cut was due to a couponbond.

Inspirations
Zhayra Khan was able to inspire me with this passage. He is the youngest of the four children and the only boy in his family. I am sure that he is a Bollywood actor but I can't find an autobiography or a single picture of him in the net. But based on what I had seen, I can tell that he is such a great guy with a gorgeous face.
I asked God for wisdom... And God gave me problems to solve. I asked Him for prosperity... And God gave me brains and the strength to work. I asked for courage... And God gave me danger to overcome. I asked for love... And God gave me troubled people to help. I asked for favors... And God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed. My Prayer has been answered.
It proved to me that a positive outlook in life can have a difference. We have it all from the start, we only need to use it. |

Learnings
I was watching Step Up 2: The Streets today and I got caught refreshing the days when I was learning streetdancing. I attended classes to teach my body to wave, to control it to move like fluids and be stiff at times.
That were days when Step Up 1 was screening. I enrolled to the class having a different notion of streetdancing. I thought it was like the dances I see during parades and festivals. Bah, I was late to realize that the movements are way too hard, more to it, the stunts. I can't cancel it because it was already past the registration and I can't drop it because I had already dropped the body-building class before I landed there. No more chances, so I push it through.
To have the feel and inspiration, I watched Stomp the Yard, Bring It On, Take the Lead and Honey. Thank God, I earned so much from it, a good grade and the ability to dance in cool moves. My friend suggested that I better advance to the next stage, I should have listened to her.

Movies
I had my weekends watching TV. Got to have a good Saturday night films shown on HBO and Star Movies. 
I was able to see Journey to the Center of the Earth and Horton Hears a Who. The two films are alike in plot on which they depict a world within a world. In the Journey, there is a world contained within the earth while on Horton, another world survives inside a dust speck. Is it really possible that a great new world is trapped beyond our lands and beyond to what our eyes can't see?

Widgets
Last night, I discovered that Opera has lots of useful widgets (Well, I accidentally landed on the widgets site and was able to explore it.) It's easy to download and install. I downloaded the analog clock, google translator, video downloader and the proxy widget. There are also other webmaster tools there. The color picker, screen ruler, http headers, html editor and generator, buttonmaker and lots of so useful stuff. I enjoyed it. Glad to know that those things exist and makes our browsing experience easier.
Here's the site: http://widgets.opera.com

Outside, behind my window lies a vast world. It's nature and I like it.

Movies
I never know that I love Robin Williams films. Well, I think most of Robin Williams films were stories about life in general. Yesterday, I was able to watch Jack, a 1996 movie where Mr. Williams played the title role - a person who olds four times his age. Jack Howell was able to finish high school at the age of 18 but with a body of a 72 year-old person. He was the class valedictorian and delivered this short speech: 
I don't have very much time these days, so I'll make it quick -- like my life. You know, as we come to the end of this phase of our life, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times and trying to forget the bad times. And we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry, thinking, "What am I gonna do? Where am I gonna be in ten years?"
But I say to you, "Hey, look at me." Please, don't worry so much, 'cause in the end none of us have very long on this earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky, when the stars are strung across the velvety night, and when a shooting star streaks through the blackness turning night into day -- make a wish think of me. And make your life spectacular. I know I did.
I like the content. Where am I gonna be ten years from now? What am I gonna do? The same questions I asked when I left my high school and college life. Goals fulfilled but still searching for the right path.
Another movie of him that I can watch all over again is the Bicentennial Man, a 1999 movie. It's a story of a robot who learned how to have emotions and worked himself to be accepted as a human being. He can appreciate beauty, make sculptures, and can feel love. Naturally, he was mistakenly created to develop feelings and behaviors of human. He is intelligent and was able to formulate ways on how he can achieve the body of a human being.

During the last three weeks, I had seen the yellow ribbon everywhere but I am not fully aware of what it means. I only know that it is for the late President Cory Aquino. And today, as I was watching TV and browsing the internet, the yellow ribbon is still there; on Yahoo, Friendster, Pinoy forums, Hero, CS9, Cinema One and etc. The Filipinos had tied the yellow ribbon on the streets when Tita Cory was in the hospital and during her burial procession.
I look for the meaning of this symbol because I am still not in this world when the Martial Law was uplifted. I got no clues on why people are clinging for it. And this is what I found out:
The yellow ribbon is a symbol usually associated with the return of a love one or military troops. In the Philippines, it was first used when Senator Ninoy Aquino returned to the Philippines after being exiled. The ribbons were tied along the street to welcome his return but on which he failed to see because he got assassinated as he set foot on the airport.
Then, recently, it was used again as a symbol of support for our ailing President Cory Aquino, the wife of Senator Ninoy. She adopted the use of yellow ribbon and its color as her campaign trademark during the 1986 election. After her passing, it is now being used as a symbol of remembrance and respect for her.
So, all along, I thought people had used that color because it was her presidential color. But I was wrong, it was a symbol that started from her husband's homecoming and is still being used by the Filipino nation as a way to remember a great leader.

Life
If wonderland was that wonderful, then why did Alice choose to leave? Probably because there are things better lived out rather than just dreamed about.
Do you know the story behind the song Tonight by FM static? It was really a sad story. The composer was engaged with his long time girlfriend. As they depart for work, his girlfriend died and was one of the victims of the Sept. 11 incident. He was so deeply heartbroken and devastated. Thus, composed that song in honor of his girlfriend.
Men naturally possess the heart of a superhero. So, when a guy does a good, thoughtful and heroic deed, don't over think that they like you. They just function according to their nature. |
