everybody's favorite little prince quote

For the second straight year, I've strangely won the MOST FUNNIEST 4TH YEAR TUTOR award. Weird 'cause I never really consider myself as funniest, heck even funny. haha. But twist of fate, and I won so yay for me!

Haay, ang sarap talaga magvolunteer for ANI and Pathways. Kahit papaano, napamahal na rin sa'kin ang 4A. Being more active this time around, I've mingled with my kids more and shared much more experiences with them. Also, aside from my 4A class, I've bonded with my NSTP CIS and CHS kids. Cool nga eh 'cause they still greet and chat with me some time especially Roselle who I'm indebted to for her interview in our theo presentation. I'm actually quite sad 'cause ANI is ending and it seems that I won't be able to teach CL next year. Haay, ANI. But I'll try my best to be active in this volunteer kind of work 'cause it's super fun and this is where my heart belongs. I feel so light and satisfied every time I'm done teaching. It's just fun!

What is essential is invisible to the eye. ANI provides a proof of that especially being immersed in such a academically-driven environment.

ANI is HOME. ANI is LOVE.

non-variance and happy things

Shakey's service ANYWHERE sucks so much. I mean I ordered pepperoni pizza to take out from Shakey's Marquinton around 430pm. When I got home, I slept so I didn't have time to check the pizza and all. I woke up around 7pm and lo and behold, pizza hasn't been touched. haha. My cousin and my brother didn't want to eat the pizza yet 'cause they were waiting for our lola to come. (which by the way is later pa!) So I was the one who got to open the box and I was shocked when I opened it. It wasn't pepperoni at all! It was a half-half combo of manager's choice and hawaiian. Argh stupid shakey's people! So I called up their delivery hotline and they transferred me to the branch itself. Good thing they offered to change the pizza. Ayaw pa nga nung una eh cause the girl asked me kung ayaw ko ba yung flavor. Of course, ayoko diba! Kaya nga pepperoni yung inorder ko eh 'di ba? So buti na lang they came really fast. As in even faster than them serving me kanina which was about 5 minutes longer than their 20 minute promise. So there, 'cause of their blunder, we enjoyed hot pepperoni pizza even if I bought it like 3 hours ago! haha

But lesson learned. Never ever trust that Shakey's service varies for most branches' service quality do suck.

In other news, summer classes FOR OTHERS have ended. Now we're the only ones stuck inside the Ateneo campus. Oh well, for two weeks lang naman. Buti na nga rin na wala kaming marketing next week 'cause Ma'am is on a cruise. Well, work still is upon us as we have to pass 4 parts on June 5. So this will be a long one and a half weeks. Good luck to me.

Still in other news, I'm so excited to volunteer for Pathways! Yay! We're the ones handling things this year so it's all going to be so different from last year! We'll definitely going to try to improve the Pathways system and structure so that it'll be more volunteer friendly and efficient. Oooh, so excited!

By the way, my head has been hurting past few days. Argh hate headaches. Potentially, this one traces back its roots to that fateful day some ass punched me in this side of my head. Ugh hate you.

Ending on a good note, God is soooo good. haha. Akala ko wala nang chance iyon pala last day = yay day! haha. Buti na lang I retyped our survey. :p

the haunting

50 entries yet not even 5 comments. Haay. It seems nobody really cares about my thoughts and my life anymore. Poor me. Nagsawa na siguro sila sa kakangawa ko tungkol sa buhay ko. haha.

Belated Happy Mother's Day Mom! and Happy Birthday Dad! Hope you're enjoying there in Dubai. See you in June.

Work as usual. Haay I really hope summer mode rubs off off me already so I can really work hard na. haha. tamaditis-infected pa rin eh.

Haay. I've finally rooted you out of my life but why have you been haunting my dreams lately. Ugh. You're really such a dilemma I can't stop dealing with.

stupid numbers

what is essential is invisible to the eye

screw the people who too much pin somebody's worth with the numbers he makes for himself.

people who set their goals on numbers...are stupid.

(fyi: rodgz's version goes, people who set their goals are stupid. haha)

philo confirmations

Here are some realizations which have been confirmed by my philosophy class over the past week. Asteeg, ganoon pala talaga iyon. Am I on my way to Sophon then? Haha. Anyway, it's a personal journey for me and I'm glad that I've already picked up some lessons to take note of and think about.

Tulad ng tunay ngang nakatatakot ang walang panghawakan sa mundong ito sapagkat mangangahulugan ito ng walang katiyakan sa ating hinaharap. Kung kaya't kakapit na lamang tayo sa kung anumang maaaring makapitan kahit na alam nating ilusyon lamang ito o mananatili itong ganito lamang.


Isa pa ang maaaring hindi pagiging thing of the past ng isang thing of the past dahil kahit anong gawin mo, naroroon at naroroon pa rin ang kung anumang damdamin kahit na anong mangyari lalo na't kung napakalaking impact ang nagawa nito sa iyong buhay.

haha philo mode daw. well, nakatutulong nga kung marami ka nang napagdaanan. anyway, more entries about philo to come too!

intangible assets

Lately, I've been very busy but happy and I like it better this way. Gone are the days when I'd bum and feel miserable about my life. Haay ANI helps me so much as a person. There's this sense of fulfillment I get every time I traverse the 4A warzone. haha. But it's cool. Kids are always nice and they appreciate you for who you are. Not like in other areas where no matter how hard and desperate you try, you seem to be always nothing to them. I like ANI 'cause they make me feel special and loved. And the feeling I get from teaching definitely ranks high on my list. I've realized how concretely helping out others seem to be the way of life I'm trying to live out. I mean, honestly, I'm just in my course since I really want to give back my parents the luxury they deserve. After that, I know I'll be doing these kind of stuff and I'm not worrying if like I don't get any money. Cliche as it may sound, do you really need money when you face the higher being? Would how much assets you've accumulated over your life matter then? I doubt.

But the simple little good things you've done. They're the ones that will matter. And they are the ones that wouldn't fade.

Yeah yeah i sound like a theo preacher but what the heck. I'm teaching CL so that might be a factor. haha.

my own postsecret sunday # 1

Once out of depression, I locked up in the bathroom and soaked myself by lying down on the floor while pouring water on myself. Everyone was asleep so they didn't know I was there. After around an hour, I went out and just lied down on the floor to dry. I proceeded to my bed afterwards and finally put myself to sleep. The next day, nobody knew what happened to me the night before.

oh the wonders of being depressed! haha.

i'll be doing this once in a while so keep in touch.

Oh how fun is the hall called Bel

I think having early Saturday morning classes is going to work for me since I can do something relevant on a Saturday. Having nothing to do would have me wake up around noon and it also goes for having Law classes last semester. I guess I should see having Fin103 from 8-10 as a blessing in disguise since I can be productive on a Saturday! Or is it just trying to sugarcoat things so that it won't be too hassle as it looks. Ay ewan haha. Basta I know that I SHOULD wake up early tomorrow.

The danger of being too used to being on top is that one little bump shakes a person so much. OK lang na hindi natin maintindihan. Hindi natin kayang alamin ang lahat. May hangganan ang ating mga utak. Huwag tayong magpaka-perpekto.

Mas matindi ka nga sigurong lalagapak sa lupa. baka umabot ka pang impyerno.
