WHAT A DAY! SURPRISE EXAM!

A lot of "firsts" happened to me today..

In the morning we went to the Hall of Justice(Regional Trial Court) for the hearing of my sister's case against the snatcher that attempted(aw gisnatch jud niya maygani nakuha) to snatch her cellphone last March. It was my first time to go to the court. And the feeling was really weird. haha! Nakulbaan kaayo ko. Feeling nako ako ang giinterrogate. haha! Grabeh.

In the afternoon, I had a laboratory class for my CSc 151 Database System (1:30-4:30). Supposed to be, we are to take our prelim exam yesterday but it was postponed because our teacher said that he'll give us time to practice SQL in Oracle. So I was expecting that during our lab, we'll just practice(ingon pud sila, thusday pa daw ang exam!), but to my dismay, the greetings that I got from my classmates were: "Karon na ang prelim! Nagtuon ka?" Errr..I was so shocked ug nagpanic na ko kay nagsuper junior updates marathon biya ko gabii until 1 am ai.. Wa jud ko ga-study. Mura siyag surprise exam!! aha ka ana?? exam? surprise? syeeet. The schedule of our online exam was 3:00 - 4:30 son when 4:30 came, nagchaos na sa lab! haha! Naglibog na ko if mu-take ko or dili kay di jud ko prepared! The time was running, and dugay pud ko nakadecide if mu-take ko. Di bya ko sure if pwede pa mi mu-take ugma because Wednesday is our original lab schedule. So ni-take na lang ko. After pila ka minutes....BANG! gabrownout.! haha! ug sa dihang since it was my first time to take an online exam,wala ko kabalo nga after every page i-save sa diay.. sooooo. nangawala ako mga answer, nagdagan pa jud ang time kay wala biya na-log out. Our teacher ordered as to wait until their meeting is over kay magsabot daw mi. Dugay pa jud kaayo xa nahuman! (ok ra to xa, nakasnack pa pud mi us study) We just took the exam again but 1 hour na lang ang gihatag sa amo. He even sort-of scolded us because according to him it was not his fault that we were'n't able to save our answers. ouch! So went back to the lab to take the exam again. Chanan! Pag-open namo kay mu-take ta mi usab, Chanan! nana mi score! hahaha! bagsak mi tanan! I don't know what happened but the system was able to record our answers and our scores were calculated! chaos na pud! grabe kadaghan ug misfortunes oi! grabe jud! Maygani gi-reset ni sir, so we were able to take the exam again.. but then unfair japon kay one hour na lang! unya gireset biya so balik sa sugod ang pag answers... haaaay.. yes na lang.. at least nahuman.. AAAAAAND......PASAR MI! yey! thank God... He's sooooo good! bahalag gi-unok unok mi sa panahon, gipapasar japon mi niya! thanks pud sa brownout kay kung wa ga-brownout, di mi ka-study....


weeeeee! mao ra to xa.. happy kaayo ko.. bahalag igo-igo ra akong score nakapasar, ok na to oi.. at least 122 na lang ako buhatunon..

hwaiting!!


sa mga wala pa ga-take, HWAITING! JAHRHAEBWA! GODBLESS SA INYO!

HOPELESS OR HOPEFUL?

I feel so lucky and blessed because throughout my college life, all my History(and this semester, Political Science) teachers were just great. They really inspire me. I learned a lot from them. We all have this notion that History and PolSci subjects are boring BUT because of my teachers (yes, I believe that the teacher has the greatest sphere of influence on how not to make the subject boring), I learned to love and am loving History and PolSci subjects. I even think that maybe I should shift to AB History. haha!

Just this afternoon, in our PolSci class our professor was discussing about David Easton's Systems Approach in defining or describing politics. I won't dig into the details of that approach now because the main reason for my blog entry tonight is that I was struck of the question my professor asked us after citing the Rice Crisis or Rice Shortage in the Philippines as an example to explain to us the Systems Approach in defining politics. He asked us if we are still hopeful that the Philippines will be a newly industrialized economy or hopeless. haha! If you ask me, honestly, I am losing hope that this country can progress and be a "Tiger" economy.. I know that's so un-nationalistic of me. But my own experiences, all the news I hear and see on TV and even all the things I see that's happening around me took all my hopes away..(Maybe naa pay gamay.. mga 10%.. huhuhu..) I really felt sad after listening to that discussion. And luckily, my teacher said that we should be hopeful because there are still good mayors and good barangay captains remaining.. but still, GREATLY OUTNUMBERED BY CORRUPT OFFICIALS. duh.. What do we need to turn this situation around..?? Change in mentality? Change in beliefs? Change in ourselves. Sooooo much easier said than done.

How sad.. I really hope I can help the Philippines..Sincerely.. But then society is dictating me to go abroad after I finish my college degree.. If not, I'll die because of hunger. hahayz.. I really wanna help.. I don't know.. I'm still partly hopeful, partly hopeless..



OK, since the videos I want to watch(Butil ng Buhay - I wasn't able to watch in on TV) are still in buffering in Youtube... I felt like writing about the things that are running through my head because of that discussion during our PolSci class this afternoon..

I MISS YOU

==============================

"Bye Bye"

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
It's something more than saying "I miss you"
But when we talked too
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

[Chorus:]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the whole world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye [3x])
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

[Chorus]

(bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandfather
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

[Chorus]

==============================

The lyrics said it all..

I miss her so much. I wish she's here with us, with Tatay.. Argh.. I soooo miss my family..
This is such an emotional post, I know. Just venting it all out. I just miss her so much.

WHATEVER

Here's a new video of Jason Mraz. I love this man. I adore him since high school. Just hearing his voice, it soothes me and reminds me of my bestfriend Nicole. We both love Jason Mraz.
This song was released I think 2 years ago (I'm not sure. basta karaan na na xa) but he featured it in his 2008 album "We sing, We Dance, We Steal Things." Some parts of the lyrics were changed/though.. But I love the video. I liked this song so much but I erased it from my pc because of some bad memories I have with this song. Aw! But since he altered some parts of the lyrucs, and released it again, and the video is nice, I'm loving it again.. ehehehe!

here's the vid! Enjoy!
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

MY FRIENDS

I'm never the friendly type, not even approachable. I had attitude problems, and I sometimes couldn't understand myself. That's why I will never be surprised if I find out that 90 percent of the people who knows me don't really have a grip of what I really am. But I'm so blessed to have people who stand by me even in the most silent times of my life and sees me through even when my wild side is all that surfaces. I don't have many friends. I know a lot of people(even though many of them don't know me) and I have a lot of acquaintances but I don't have many friends. In this very mean world, and for a meanie like me, I consider myself really blessed and I'm very thankful for these persons - my friends. In my 18 years of existence, I met a lot of "friends" but not all of them were true. Many stabbed me in the back, and some just left me hanging. Hence the maybe-less-than-20 number of persons I consider friends. Some of them were even my enemies before and some were close to me like my sisters. I guess that's just the magic of friendship. There are people who are already part of the life God designed for you. It's like they were destined to be your neighbor, your accomplice and partner in crime, to be the daughters of your parents' friends, to be your competitor from your gradeschool medals, to talk to you during your highschool enrolment, to act weird so you can backbite them during your dramatic highschool days, to be so talkative and sometimes tactless so that you would quarrel almost everyday, and to save you from boredom in college(and not to mention help you rebuild yourself and your faith) - like fate assigned them to meet you at a certain part of your life and made you who you are today. I don't have lots of friends; they may not be with me all the time, but I feel so blessed to have them. They are my precious treasures. I may not be a perfect friend, I may even be a bad influence sometimes but I know they will not desert me, they will take me for who I am, for who I'm not and will never be.

A TREE IN HEAVEN

Thanks to the 2-day transport strike we will not have classes tomorrow until Tuesday. (It's not actually a good thing because it's a sign that jeepney fare is going to increase due to the continuous increase in gasoline in the world market. Enough about that.) Because of the "long weekend," we decided to have DVD marathons! And first in line is a Korean drama series entitled "A Tree in Heaven/Heaven's Tree/Tree of Heaven" starring Lee Wan(Kim Tae Hee's brother[the girl from Love Stroy in Harvard], he's a very good actor and also handsome ^^,) and Park Shin Hye(sigeg hilak! :P). I've never cried this much since Love Story in Harvard and Princess Hours. It's the most heartbreaking story I've ever watched. I think almost 90% of their life(in the series) was made up of miserable experiences. They were always crying and heartbroken. It was such a sad story. Even the ending was not what I expected(they did not have a happy ending..*spoiler!*). Shocks! It was the saddest Koreanovela I've ever watched! Despite everything that hindered their relationship, they proved that what they have and feel for each other was unconditional.



*Grrrrr.. Namatay lang si Lee Wan! huhu..
