Addicted

It's not everyday I get to see the sky painted. So nevermind the slums and the wires just look at how beautiful the sky is.

Brother Sky, I hope tomorrow I'll get to see this magnificent playfullness of yours again.

PS.
I'm addicted again with Neopets.

God bless!

Confidence is Half the Battle

I will not take the board exam on October. Instead, I will take it on May, 2007.

So, what if it will take me another six months of studying? Hindi naman ang mga tao sa paligid ko ang magsusunog ng kilay, dba?

Why should I gamble when the chances of winning is too little??? I tried but just can't. I studied but not enough (or at least, i thought).

Why spend thousands for a review AGAIN?? I have to and must. I do admit that I still need guidance. I can't afford not to enrol in ANOTHER review center.

I wasted my time? Truth is, no! Because, I have discovered so many things outside of review school. I nurtured friendship, rekindled old ties, corrected so many of my mistakes, grew spiritually. Now, I can truly say I am a happy individual. On the academic side, I have gained confidence in matters I knew and re-learning matters forgotten.

I do believe that confidence plays a big role when taking any examination. I am deeply sorry for those people who are expecting so much from me--- so much that I sometimes CANT handle it anymore. When the examination day comes, I want to answer fearlessly without any doubt that the box I'm shading is the answer.

I have deprived myself of so many things in my life because I was too worried about others' expectations. I wanted to give myself more time to study. Why hurry? I am only 21 and have no obligations to work for.

And this is the only time, I have stepped up because I am not confident (how ironic?).

Kadayawan (Part 1)

Yes, it's the Festivals of Festivals!! Kadayawan is finally here!! And I'm loving every moment of it. Why?

1. It's a lot merrier.

2. There's so much things to do. So many places to see and so many activities.

3. It a lot colorful than Araw ng Dabaw.

4. It's a thanksgiving festival.

5. It makes me proud to hail from Davao!

6. I'm not at all scared of the bomb threats. Matakot na lang ang mga terrorista kay Mayor Duterte.

7. I didn't know there are many people in Davao. Most of them are probably tourists.

8. It seems like the weather is cooperating!

9. Finally, it's as old as me. It's on its 21st year.

10. So many pretty girls in Davao. Here's a proof!.

Banana-Cue, only in the Philippines!

I finally decided to get a haircut.

Ayan, lumalabas ang pagiging cam-whore.

God bless everybody!

Randomness!! =)

My first entry for August!! Back as an Atenean, I actually love this month. Because of the following reasons:

1. Palarong Atenista - Ateneo's yearly intramurals league. I love watching the Cheerdance Competition, Sayawtenista and the adrenalin rush from watching the games (ahemm... BSC-MA has been a consistent champion for 3years straight).

2. So many days wherein there is no class. Don't you love it when they declare no class?

3. Jaja, Christine, Sheila's bday! Oh, Visa, Penny, Eliz, Gladys, Kristhine and Jesse's bday too!!

-----------------

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who made it possible for me to have these books even before they are available in Davao:

The first picture was bought by my Kuya Jojo (boy, they sell it really cheap in Recto) and the second book (you can't find a bookstore selling that book here!) was bought for me by Nadia (I miss u!). Though, I actually reimbursed them, it feels good to have thoughtful people around you!

On the other hand, I got more books to finish now! hahaha! Isn't that boring??!!

----------------------

And lastly, it's been quite sometime since I last post a photo of mine.

Ayan.. Just plain sharing randomness with you!

God bless guys! *mwah*

A BORING LIFE!

To those people who do not know how I bore myself. Here's the list of the things I do. So please, don't e-mail me with your message like "May load na ba ang dsl connection ngayon kaya di ka nakakapag-blog?" Because really, it makes me laugh!

For the past few weeks, I have glued my ass to a chair, solving accounting problems. I do this 3 hours straight in the afternoon Mondays to Fridays (hurray!I am finally living the word discipline!). At night, I read theories and law. That's about 2 hours interrupted only when nature calls.

The boob-tube and the internet are my only diversion from the energy-consumming books. I never miss to watch the news may they be local or national. I do not believe in completely locking myself to pass the board exam. I believe if I fail to watch the news or read the papers, I'm slowly slipping away.

Yes, I still text. But I am controlling myself. I thank God that most of my friends are Smart subscribers. That in itself gives me an excuse not to text them because I have been loyal to Globe. hihihi.

I have been hooked with this game. Everytime I get my hands on the keyboard, I can't seem to avoid not playing this game.

Anagrammatic Head to head battle of anagram solving action!
Play this free game now!!

I think it is a very very nice game for the intelligent creatures. hehehehe
