Funny line


A girl about to park her car was suddenly cut by a brute guy. The guy gets off his car and darts the girl in the car a cunning look. "It pays to be fast." Said the guy. Then the girl in her car suddenly crashes her car to the guy's car as if it's the most normal thing in the world, and then she told the guy, "It's pays to be rich."

Dahil ako ay nag-aartehan lamang


Siguro yun nga, spur of the moment, spur of emotions. Pero nalinawan na naman ako kaya I deleted the post. Nabasa man niya, I don't care anymore.

JOURNAL | Waiting

Waiting


Faced with the fact that my internet connection in my room has finally been cut, I had to learn a few body bending techniques just to plug those chords unto a CPU without directly looking at the terminals. This means that I am running the risk of getting electrocuted early in the morning, something that makes me think whether this is worth the trouble at all. Later at 10:30, I am meeting my student NEO at CMC to have a class. Sometimes I envy this student of mine because he only has to pay to learn necessary English skills from someone like me who has been seriously troubled by the failure to submit necessary papers to my professor. I am slowly losing hope but I have really nothing but HOPE. If I lose it then I lose everything. My life would be such a complete waste. Anyway, I am in this SHABBY internet cafe, waiting for 5:00 to come so I can have class with my student BK and hopefully things get fine. Just a sidenote, I have dreamt of my professor last night. It's not really bad at all but I am starting to think hoiw much she has been affecting my existence that she creeps even in my dreams. To think that I have only slept for three hours. Three hours of sleep for today? I don't think that's enough, makes me worried for the day's activities. Good thing it's Thursday now. Only a day to go before we can have some time to breathe. It's really difficult to breathe nowadays. I hope things get better soon. And that I may finish all my responsibilities.


JOURNAL | Setting Personal Goals

Setting Personal Goals


I have so many things running in my mind. Just too many I couldn't manage them anymore, as if I am living in a world of make believe; I feel like I am standing in a an open field staring up high at all the things I wish I could achieve, helpless from my incapacity. The article below provides some guidelines on how to have a direction in life.
***
We often hear people say, “I need more direction in my life.” Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. It’s a technique used by top athletes and successful business people in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve in your life. Try to set goals in some of the following categories: Career – what do you want to reach in your career? Community service – do you want to help make the world a better place? Creative – do you want to achieve any artistic goals? Education – is there any knowledge you want to acquire? What information will you need to achieve it? Family – what kind of relationship do you want with your husband, wife, children, and other family members? Financial – How much money do you want to earn? Physical – Are there any athletic goals you want to achieve? Recreation – How do you want to enjoy yourself? Write down your goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them? To help you make the process more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a major goal in ten years, set a five-year goal, a one-year goal, a three–month goal, and a one-month goal. Remember your goals can change with time. Adjust them regularly to reflect this growth in your personality. Be sure your goals are things t\you hope to achieve, not what your parents, spouse, family, or employers want. Source: Richards, J.

CORPORATE | My Worries

My Worries


So what's on my mind recently? Well nothing but HOW TO FIND A COMPANY THAT WOULD PAY INTERNS! I am getting anxious as some of my friends have found theirs already. What am I to do if I don't get in somewhere I am looking for. I don't really want wasting my time in an office exploiting my talents with nothing in return. I still am clear on the reason why I burden myself with years of studying, and that is to earn. Tomorrow, I need to finish some papers for my particpatory research subject. It's all about the Cupertino visits. Actually, I don't think an overnight would be enough to do the paper. But what the heck, I just have to make it and pass it tomorrow. No extensions. Then there's also the issue of C140 Media and Society. Staggering 20 papers to be finished within 5 days. Oh dear oh dear. Actually I can do this, I have no other option. No time to be so perfect too. Cramming. I thrive on cramming. The C110 is not to be outdone as this CODE OF ETHICS should be finished/ symposium about advertising waiting to be accomplished. Whew! Don't I just wish to split my body into multiple parts to do all these.

JOURNAL | Vacation is coming, but not so soon

Vacation is coming, but not so soon


What is ironic about March is that it is suppose to give students like me that ease knowing that vacation is just around the corner. But no, these days I feel so bounded by all the responsibiities that I just to attend to. Again, my head is spinning as if I have nowhere to run. I keep my academic life and my professional career trying to balance the two but it just feels so impossible. How can I do that when my time seems to slip out of me. I wake up everyday looking forward not to discover what's in store for me today but instead, I look forward to waking up to another day so that time will soon finish. That things are just gonna be over. I know things will be better soon. I just need to learn some patience.

iSing Rewind, the final day


Tomorrow is the day I will gain prominence in the university. A chance to prove to the whole academe that I can create a name. A name never to be taken for granted. A legend, forever remembered in every corner. This is it. A chance to be immortal.
