Mother Earth’s Revenge!

It’s really mystifying that a series of tragedy is happening to our planet nowadays. Storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, flash floods, landslides, avalanches, earthquakes and tsunamis are some disasters occurring in different parts of the earth…
It was summer in the Philippines when the Ebola virus a.k.a. A(H1N1) scared too many people around the world as it killed hundreds.
Manila, Philippines – It was crack of dawn of August 22, 2009 when Tropical Storm “Kiko” hit the said place and displayed its fury. Everyone was in shock because it left the city flooded. A month after, September 26, 2009, Tropical Storm “Ondoy” rapped the city and other areas in Luzon leaving hundreds of casualties and making the places almost erased in the map. Until now, affected Filipinos are trying to survive. Another tropical storm, “Pepeng”, is heading Luzon and many of us are praying to make it either dissolved or change direction.
On the other hand, American Samoa, a state of America, and suburbs experienced a tsunami yesterday, September 30, which also killed hundreds of people.
Indonesia experienced two earthquakes this September 30 and October 1 leaving more than 500 fatalities.
A series of calamity, but only God knows if there’s more. He wants to tell something to us. Do we know it already? Maybe. It’s just that we don’t want to ANALYZE, UNDERSTAND, and MAKE STEPS.
Self-discipline is needed.

Survivors' Dirty Attitude

I am not an avid follower of Survivor Philippines Season 2 (Palau) unlike its first season. I was able to watch an episode of it one night. Members of Koror and Airai were eating the bats as part of the challenge. After it, Koror won. Paolo Bediones announced that there would be switching of camps ( I was also surprised of this twist ). When Koror reached the former camp of Airai, they were very disppointed of what they had seen.
I saw it,too. I watched it. Kumukulo ang dugo ko sa kanila. Para ‘kong isang bulkang sasabog. I WAS and still, I AM very disappointed to the AIRAI group. Napapamura ‘ko sa ginawa nila. I never expected it! Mga baboy! Mga burara! Wala na ngang kalinis-linis ang mga katawan nila, naatim pa nila na maging ganoon ang kapaligiran nila… Uulit-ulitin ko. Mga BABOY sila! Mga BURARA ang mga taong ‘yon!!! ‘Di na sila nahiya sa mga sarili nila. Weren’t they aware that there is a BIG possibility na mailabas ‘yon sa national television? Ang kaburaraan nila???
Shame on you!

Mass Communication

Classes in Far Eastern University started last Wednesday(June 17, 2009) but my classes in Mass Communication started on June 18. I was very excited, little bit nervous(mixed emotions) but I had enjoyed my first day. I had little talks with my classmates but it was not easy for me to make friends because I did not want to. During our break time, I went to this particular area of the university and stayed there but when I got bored, I wandered.
My professors,however, are good; they always make us laugh but of course, there are some that you think they are very strict.
In our last subject that day which is English A, I met this guy named Ryrie Garcia and I found out that he's easy to deal with and I had fun with my other classmates like Anne (short for Anastacio...haha).

On the second day of our classes, I was late because jeepneys had too many passengers that I could not get one but I still entered my first subject. On my second subject, Ryrie went to me and asked questions. We started to become friends and he introduced me with the others and so, I made friends.

As of now, this is the only thing I can share with you guys because I am having a hard time to tell the whole story. Hope you understand.

cookDAVIDarchuleta

I was so amazed and very excited when the news reached out my ears that David Archuleta and David Cook would be performing here in the Philippines. From the day they came here, I've always been watching the news about them and their TV guestings particularly in GMA7(a TV network here). I am very sad that I wasn't able to watch their concert live in SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds and still, I can't really move on but I am very happy that they made millions of Filipinos happy. I've been imagining that they came in our home and had a little talk with me(as if they would do it for me..ahaha)...Between Archuleta and Cook, I prefer Archuleta(and here's what I would like to tell him).







I saw Archuleta in YouTube performing when he was too young and I really can't imagine that he was that! He was amazing! On the other hand, when I watched him on SiS (a TV show in GMA7), I was always laughing especially when he laughed. I can't help but think that we have something in common but still, we are different('coz no one is the same;each one of us is unique). He always smiles in front of people and I am like that, too. Actually, our age gap isn't big. He's 18 and I'm 17, turning 18 on October 17.
After Harry Santos' performance on SiS, he went near Archuleta, he said that he is no longer 18 then Archuleta said,"I'm 18 but I act like 14.."....haha!! I believe him... Base on his acts, he is not like 18! Oops! I didn't mean anything. It is okay. There's no problem with that because aside from his performances, what people like about him is WHAT REALLY IS HE...

If ever Archuleta reads this, I would like to take this opportunity to tell him that I don't idolize anyone but from the time you came here in the Philippines, I admire you, I like the way you perform, I've always been wanting to meet you and be your friend! You're such a good guy and great guys like us should become friends! ahaha...How I wish you were not famous so that we could be friends...or we're both famous especially in Hollywood and we would be best friends.

Anyway, I'd also like to take this opportunity to tell two DAVIDS, thank you for coming here!!! We are looking forward to seeing you guys again here...

P.S.: As for Archuleta, I hope to see you personally and have a talk with you... (I'm not a fan of yours but I'd like to be your friend)

Liquified Petroleum Gas Hoarding!

There are issues involving the hoarding of LPGs and I want to comment about that.

They say there are lots of supplies of LPG but they keep on hiding it, they hoard so that they would have control over the price.

We, my family, also encountered this. We cannot buy Shellane because they say it’s out of stock. My mother said they just want to have price increase that’s why they are doing those things. We did the ‘gatong’ and we are very thankful that we have woods to use.
My father said that it would really be better if we buy electric stove so we could cook even though LPGs are out of stock. My mother replied that she should buy one Shellane again so that after using one, we can use the other one.

I think their ideas are good. They are applicable!
and to those who do the hoarding, better for you to die! You're doing no good in our country! You're not helping our country!

Intramurals 2009

Our school, AUPC, held its annual Intramurals started last January 27, 2009 (Tuesday). The program started with the cheerers who performed for the players.

Before the Intrams, I tried to be one of the players but not in basketball, badminton, or table tennis. I joined the very first time game they have included – the CHESS! But unfortunately, I was not able to represent the SENIORS because I failed to win during the try-out.

The games played by the players were so hot, thrilling, and exciting especially the basketball exhibition game between the SENIORS and the FRESHMEN.

The awarding for the winners was announced and done today after the championship games. While the players were having their picture takings, while I walk towards them, I felt jealous; I thought that I should have been there.

Actually, during the basketball games of SENIORS, while I watch and pray for them to win, I imagined myself inside the court playing the game and audience clap for me, but that was all imagination and I can’t do anything to make it real unless I pursue my sports abilities. I think, I am afraid…. I am afraid that people would laugh at me, I am afraid to be hurt, I am afraid to be a loser.

Anyways, going back to the Intrams, generally, all I can say is that was good. Ms Criselda Crisostomo really did a great job! High five! Thumbs up!
