magtagalog tayo.. :)

nalulungkot ako..
si aziel, nahahapis..
si mj, nabubugho..
madilim ang mundo namin..
puno ng pagdurusa, hinagpis at hinanakit..
ang mga tao ay walang pakiramdam..
bagkus, mapanakit pa ng damdamin..
tulad ng ulan sa silid-aklatan..
humahampas ang hangin sa aming mga malasutlang balat..
walang kalaban-laban kaming tinatangay..
lalo si aziel..


isang ihip na lamang, bibitiw na..
natanaw nya bigla ang isang mag-asawa..
ang relasyong nakasalalay sa kanya..
tutulutan nya ba ang isang mapait na paghihiwalay?

wala siyang nagawa kundi umayon..
nababanaag ko ang pait sa kanyang mga kilos..
pati ang alat ng luha..
napakamot ng ulo..
napailing..
at biglang tumawa..
ang mundo ay mapagbiro..
king minsa'y mapanukso..
nakakainit ng dugo..
sing-init ng nag-aalab na damdamin ng magkasintahan sa aming kanan..

dumaan ang trak ni cesar..
pinawi ang uhaw ni alpha..
may dumaang tricycle,
pinasaya si aziel..
sana may dumaang tao,
para sumaya naman si mj..


tahimik ang magkasintahan..
nababanaag ang kaligayahan..
tulad ng langit..
ahh.. ikapitong langit..

napaehem si mj..
nandiri..
kadiri..

inamoy ni aziel ang sarili,
napag-alamang sya'y mabango..
tulad ng hardin sa eden..
humahalimuyak..
saya ng basura sa kanan..

at biglang nainis si aziel kay bb.d,
madaming may ganung pangalan sa mundo..
pero isa lang ang kinaiinisan nya..
ang nakaraan ng kanyang iniirog..

ahh.. tumila na ang ulan..
hindi pa nawawala ang bagabag sa aming mga puso..
nakakainis isipin ngunit kailangang tanggapin..
salawahang puso..


maraming gawain..
naglalakad kami patungo sa coe..
sa destinasyon ni ana..
at ng kwentong pantasya..


may inaantok..
dalang-dala sa kwento ni eduardo..
natatawa tuloy so michael..


tinititigan si mj..
tanging siya lamang ang nakakaalam ng nararamdaman nya..
paano kung umayon ang tadhana?
pero kumplikado ang sitwasyon..
magulo, mapagbiro, mapanlinlang..

ngayon kailangang magpakasaya..
natapos na ang kwento ni eduardo..
kasunod na si sarah..
ang prinsesa ng tula..


kasiyahan..
nasisiyahan..
mas nasisiyahan..
sino ang pinakanasisiyahan?


sa likod ng kalungkutan ay mayroon palang kaligayahan..
sa kinang ng mata..
sa sigla ng isip..
sa ikabuturan ng damdamin..
sa pinaniniwalaan ng isipan..
sa idinidikta ng puso..

The dream and the dreamers

To my beloved teachers, teachers-to-be, teachers in heart, and to the Greatest Teacher ever, Happy TEACHERS' Day!

Today, I woke up with this weird proud feelin'.. not because today is my day, but because I know, someday, I will be able to claim this day as mine..

^The future educators^ BSED (English) Batch 2011 Bell - Aziel - MJ - Mam Vicx - Dianne - ME Mike - Edu

(Sarah, where were you durin' this moment?)

This is actually an ambush photo.. (waaa.. ambush photo? haha) Ma'am Celina was on her way home when she saw us having a great time taking photos oh ourselves.. We first asked her to take a photo of our group, then gratefully invited her to join us for a "nightlight photo shoot" which she gamely approved. "Kapag mataba ako, burahin ha?" Oh no, i didn't say that. That's actually Ma'am Ana's statement.. Good thing, we all look great in this photo.. hmm.. this was taken shortly after our Structure class.. This is where we usually spend our vacant moments.. Yeah, introducing--- Aling Ada's store.. tindahan ni Aling Ada, mura na..... blahblahblah.. forgot the lyrics..hehe 'mind you, we English majors eat a lot..

In the future, we are all goin' to be teachers.. Language teachers specifically.. sometimes, it gives me goosebumps thinkin' about this.. to be a teacher is one vigorous task.. I'm not even sure if I can make it.. To shape the future.. to touch lives.. to teach.. to inspire.. to heal a broken spirit.. to be an example.. to always remain a student.. to be a parent and a friend all at once.. to love.. and to show care.. and... to be a teacher in the deepest sense of being one.. “When you love people and have the desire to make a profound, positive impact upon the world, then will you have accomplished the meaning to live.” -Sasha Azevedo

I'm not breaking...

The Climb lyrics Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

**i'm not really miley's fan.. (unlike most girls i know..) but i must admit, i love this song.. ^-^

chocolate pool.. *-*

sa malayo, parang chocolate pool..
pag nilapitan mo, isang disaster!

yesterday, it flooded in olongapo city..
my school's sportsfest was again cancelled..
(yeah.. again, 'cause monday was declared a special non-working holiday)
most students were furious..
imagine yourself wearing your college's sportsfest T-Shirt..
stranded in a corner..
with the rain falling heavily..
i was sad because hey, i paid 50pesosesesss for that special tricycle ride..

anyway, after long hours of frowns and sighs, i found out that I'm still lucky..
most houses in the city swam in floodwater..
later in the evening, TV stations reported that around 200 families were brought to OCNHS, the city's main evacuation center..
*sigh...

here in my place,
since i am lucky to live in green fields near mountains.. ^-^
we are all safe and well..

except for the water overflowing san isidro bridge..
lightweight vehicles cannot pass through it..
so we have to take the other route to go in and out of the neighborhood..
sad.. yet lucky still...

hmmm.. i hope, things will get better today..

we are to blame..
yeah..
we, careless people..
we, inconsiderate men who neglected--
and are continuously neglecting the planet where we live in..

look at how Mother Earth fights back..

'missing you all..

I'm missing them all..

the people to whom I'm exchanging text messages with..
the ones to whom I have little conversations..
to whom I share petty and even serious secrets..
with whom laughing is always a wonderful thing to do..
though with them, feeling sad is but OK 'cause they do everything to ease away all the pain..
to the people who occupy a very special part in my heart..
to whom I shared a part of my life..

my playmates..
my textmates..
my confidants..
my dearly loved Pergamos team..
my friends..
my brothers and sisters..
^-^

with you all,
the world is a better place.. ^-^
yeah, better.. best..

I cannot embrace something that is not a part of me...

No matter how hard I try to understand its every concept,
I end up finding myself buried deeply in the web of broken dreams..

This is too sentimental..
I am talking about Mathematics..
particularly Statistics..
Last week, I took my midterm exams and (shameful as it is..)
I guess I'll fail..

Out of the 100point exam,
I have answered 40 point-items only..
that's two out of three parts..
yeah, i skipped the middle part which amounts to 60points
because i don't enjoy answering it..
yeah.. brat i am..
just because I don't enjoy something,
better to leave it..
anyway, back to it, i left that part..
blank as it was..

AND i exerted great effort in answering the bonus points..

Read this:

Bonus Questions:
1. What do you call the band that Naruto wears in his head?
I answered headband (talk about morphology.. head+band..hehe)

2. Which among the numbers does not belong to the group? 6, 28, 56, 536
I answered 6.. (all the numbers are multiples of 4 except for it..) hurray!


**sigh*

i really need to study better this final term..
or else, probably I'll fail..

yeah, suck bigtime!

[BONUS QUESTION: what is the probability that I'll fail stat? send your answers to 09298429039..]

Sometimes I wonder why some people do good in math when I DON'T..

Mr. Howard Gardner provided the answers for me..
Multiple Intelligences..


I just don't fall under Mathematical-Logical Intelligence..

Yeah, right! ^-^

La Sonrisa

i finally made up my mind..
gotta have this column title..

grrr.. not that i don't have any other idea..
oh well, yeah..
no idea.. right..

ok.. what i'm talking about is my column for the soon-to-be-published pilot issue of The Forefront.. (GC's official school org..)
i was given a column under which i may write anything..
(errr.. anything? not everything? haha)

ok.. got to admit it..
i was given plenty of days to think of a topic..
but as things often go for me,
i did the article in the last minute..
the column was written in a rush..
as if beating serious deadline..
about life and death and all the boring details that go with it..
ahaha.. pathetic laugh..

i'll think of a better topic next time..
swear..
that's if they'll allow me to have a column again after that one lousy topic..
^^.

and then like how the article was written,
i also picked my column title in a rush..

and came up with La Sonrisa...
meaning smile..

i wish i could smile after our first issue is released.. :)

you-know-who had vanished forever...

---finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...
the lastEST of the epic tale..

***weep..***

anyway, Voldemort died..
the-boy-who-lived lives.. =)
