Ilang awit pa ba ang aawitin o giliw ko? Ilang ulit pa ba ang uulitin o giliw ko? Tatlong oras na akong nagpapacute sa 'yo 'Di mo man lang napapansin ang bagong t-shirt ko
Ilang isaw pa ba ang kakainin o giliw ko? Ilang tansan pa ba ang iipunin o giliw ko? Gagawin ko ang lahat pati ang thesis mo Huwag mo lang ipagkait ang hinahanap ko
Sagutin mo lang ako aking sinta'y Walang humpay na ligaya
At aasahang iibigin ka Sa tanghali sa gabi at umaga Huwag ka sanang magtanong at magduda Dahil ang puso ko'y walang pangamba Lahat tayo'y mabubuhay ng tahamik at buong Ligaya
Ilang ahit pa ba ang aahitin o giliw ko? Ilang hirit pa ba ang hihiritin o giliw ko? 'Di naman ako manyakis tulad ng iba Pinapangako ko sa 'yo na igagalang ka
I remembered this test result after my Christmas "reunion" with Chandler and Monica (Jet and Christine, haha!). Spent the day sniffing perfumes, debating over politics, talking about friends (both the TV show and the real-life ones), and of course, eating!!!
Anyway, I can't believe I took this test so long ago--it's in my old account!
vanessa, you've got a little bit of Phoebe going on!
Um, ok! You're, like Phoebe. Ok, so you may not have Phoebe's, well, special intuition or, um, musical talent. But, like everyone's favorite beautiful-blond-psychic-masseuse, you never lie and your friends are the most important thing in your life.
With an utterly free spirit like yours, some people see you as flaky. But creative, perceptive-as-heck, and eerily wise is more like it. You see the good in everyone, which could make your dating life a bit, well, uneven. But you always land on your feet with your humor, kindness, (and who-knows-what-from-beyond) as your guide.
Yep, I should be working on our thesis. But I'm getting carried away in "re-templating" this blog for more than an hour now, and still I haven't been able to get it right. Frustration!
Symbian C++ or J2ME, that is the question.
I am praying and hoping with all my heart that J2ME would be enough. Horible yata talaga ang Symbian according to the GoSIP guys. Anyhow, we have to decide real soon so we could get to the actual coding.
vanyei, your holiday theme song is White Christmas
Looks like you might be the sentimentalist in the crowd. You, more than others, revel in the nostalgia of the season. Some may think it's a little bit sappy, but you can't help it if you feel all gushy at the first sight of snow, the scent of evergreens, or the first airing of It's a Wonderful Life.
You're one who picks up on traditions, and you probably like to pass them on, as well. That ornament over there, we bet it has a good story attached to it. Truth is, Santa himself probably couldn't spread as much Christmas spirit as you're capable of. While others are mired in materialism, you keep the holiday's true meaning closer to your heart. So keep on dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card you write. May your days be merry and bright. And may all your Christmases be white.
Last night was lost all on thesis and philo. All that Carol Gilligan stuff is actually interesting to read, but not when you're about to have graded recitation the next day and you're not even halfway through the BOOK. Hindi kasi uso ang articles kay Fr. David bilang readings. Gusto nya buong libro talaga.
In this line of thought... (hah!)
I went to school early so I could scavenge through the lib for some pages of yet another Gilligan book, Meeting at the Crossroads, which we had to bring to class. We were required to just choose a chapter, or some pages at least, which we thought would be helpful in our understanding of the rest of the readings. My groupmate and I chose to copy the last chapter, which I read a while ago in Faura.
Pero rewind muna kanina pagkatapos naming magpa-xerox... As I was walking out of the library I thought it might be a good idea to actually borrow and read the whole book after the semester is done. When I'm done with Philo 104 and busy with other things at school. Something to read when I'm bored in Faura or whatever.
Congratulate me, people! I've finally watched Harry Potter GOF!!! That's one off my looooong list of must-see movies, hahaha.
It's school holiday (Feast of the Immaculate Conception) and I just couldn't pass up the chance to go out and have some fun. Even if it meant that I had to go all alone... :P People may be busy with other stuff, but that won't stop me from watching Harry Potter! Nanganganib na kasi na mawala na sa sinehan, kawawa naman ako.
<< telebabad with chreestyn which of course, involved interesting, profound, out-of-this-world, senseless, wishful and nostalgic stuff >>
Anyway, naghalungkat ako ng mga old files dito sa computer, and I found some really interesting things! Such as this!
Now I remember where I got some of the lines I still use in my theo, philo, or whatever papers today. Hehe, anyway andaming *dot dot dot* 'no?
As my theo teacher often says, "My gosh!" Does time really go by faster at this age? Do people really zoom past their teenage-to-young-adult years? I am torn--the thought of independent adult life both excites and frightens me. Ugh.
*lost in thought* Now more than ever, it doesn't make any sense to dream of you anymore. And yet I still do. But no, not still do... because it's happening just now. Why? I have no idea. There must be something wrong with me. Another RH day?! *wakes up*
My thoughts are scattered all over the place. Mabuti pang matulog na. Got to do our wyu homework tomorrow morning!
------ Our beloved President, Brother Rafael Donato, FSC, our distinguished principal, Miss Norma Blanco, our guest speaker, Honorable Fernando Manguera, our registrar, Ms. Daisy Cuevas, parents, teachers, fellow graduates and guests, a blessed afternoon to all of you.
Graduation day… honestly, I do not know if I possess the power of words to capture the intensity of this moment -- and its impact on our young lives. Through all our years of studying, we had this day envisioned in our minds… the day we would march across the stage… the day that we would receive the diplomas we have worked so hard for… the day that would end our highschool years.
Time has indeed gone by so fast… and much has changed in the four years we have made De La Salle Lipa / part of our lives. The freshmen who stepped onto Lasallian soil for the first time four years ago/ and the seniors I see before me today / are different – much different. I can say so because I know for a fact that it is in highschool that we encounter the most profound life-changing experiences. It is here that we go through an exciting journey of self-discovery, where we surprise ourselves about the new things we find within us… here, where we meet the people we will cherish for a lifetime… friends, classmates, and even the nameless faces we have become familiar with… It is here that we experience the spirit of unity… the sense of belonging… here, where the memories of the laughter, tears, smiles and sighs we share / have made us into who we are right now. It is here that we have discovered ourselves, made the best of friends, shared the greatest memories, and grown into better individuals. And that it is hard to let go… and that is why it is hard to leave.
I wish that I could say that I have no fear in my heart… that I am not troubled with the parting that is peeking at the horizon… But I cannot… for I am greatly fearful to say farewell… because I am about to part ways with the people who now have a special place in my heart. These are the people / who / just by trying to live their lives the best way they can, have changed mine. Among these people are our teachers… In our stay here, we have encountered teachers who have pushed us to do our best and drove us to reach for the higher goals… teachers who have become our fathers and mothers in school by giving us their loving guidance… teachers who simply shared with us their time… to teach our minds, touch our hearts, and transform our lives.
Likewise, who can deny that we would hate to part with our classmates and friends? The faces that we always found comfort in seeing… the people who have intertwined their lives with ours… There are / our bestfriends, with whom we spend every minute of every day, and have been there for us through thick and thin… There are / our classmates, who have made each moment together a memorable one, and made us feel that we belonged / that we mattered…
And in the duration of our stay in La Salle, we have met extraordinary people who played meaningful parts in our lives / and continue to inspire us even in their absence… It is in these people that we found acceptance, sincerity, openness, strength, loyalty, and love. Definitely, we would not be who we are now if not for them. I / would not be who I am now if not for you… And I would be eternally grateful that is with you that I have shared some of the greatest moments of my life.
And in behalf of my fellow graduates, I would like to thank our parents for their unfailing support to us. It may not always show, but we do love you very much and we couldn’t have gone this far without you. Once more, we couldn’t have gone this far without you. Kung wala kayo, wala kami…
The last four years had been very meaningful for all of us, yes. But we must look back and remember farther beyond / that span of time… We need to look back not only four years, but forty years… We must celebrate the forty glorious years that our beloved institution had been molding our youth into excellent Lasallian Christian Filipinos. Today, we are rejoicing, not only for the triumph of this year’s graduating students, but for the victory of all the people who have worked hard to make De La Salle Lipa into what it is right now.
We are much privileged to be given the honor of being the Ruby Batch… and the hopes and dreams you bestowed upon our hands will not go to waste. We will live up to the challenge of being the Ruby Batch… and we will not fail.
We recognize our Lasallian roots and are proud of its rich history, and we will always keep close to our hearts the memories of the past… but our eyes are set on the future. Though we know we are crossing over to a coast unexplored, and that the journey we have to take to get there is not easy, we believe that we can look forward to a great future… In the days, months, and years to come, we will meet more of life’s challenges, where it doesn’t matter if we win or lose, but that we grow stronger as we face and overcome them… There is so much that we still have to learn, so much of the world to see, so much of a life to live. And so, I fervently hope that this day, we will all learn to live and love every moment of each day, because life is precious… and we have to make the most of it.
I told you a while ago that I was fearful of saying farewell and going our own separate ways. I still am… but it is not a fear without hope… nor is it a fear without faith. Because I believe that there’s something great in store for all of us. I have hope … that we’ll be okay. I have faith… that the Lord Almighty will be always with us… then no doubt …it will be great.
------ Daydreaming, laughing, eating, cramming, and relentlessly imposing my presence all over Faura. Struggling with C, Leithold and Socrates through countless sleepless nights. Rushing to class, to OJT work, to CompSAt meetings, to basketball games, and to buses bound for Lipa. See, I’m just a typical CS student who never expected that four years could go by so fast when all I really did was try to do both nothing and everything at the same time.
Now I can’t help but wonder how the days that had gone by so quickly could have given me some of the best things in life: the enduring love and support of family and friends who inspire me to do my best; a unique brand of friendship that can sometimes be amusing, infuriating, and comforting, but is always strong; the chance to serve an organization for two great years; the priceless gift of education; and the unfailing grace of God.
For these and much more, I will always be thankful. Sou desu! Back to top!
I retook the test but i liked my old results better. :P And besides, the new results were a big N/A!!
So here's the old one:
vanyei, you're single because you don't want to compromise
You live alone and like it, thanksverymuch. Well, at least some of the time. You prefer coming and going as you please, and you don't like to be controlled or held responsible for someone else's schedule or needs. After all, you probably have plenty of friends, a satisfying career (or other projects to occupy your time), and you may simply not have room for another person right now — unless of course they can bend to meet your routine exactly. Does this sound familiar?
While we admire your go-it-alone attitude — and your carefree, open-minded spirit — you may be shutting out others from your life without realizing it. You never know, maybe if you met the right person you could learn to grow together — while holding onto your hard-earned independence.
Me is INFP: Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceptive.
I just had my routine guidance interview this morning, and the INFP thing is not really surprising. If I'm not mistaken, I learned this from emode a long, long time ago. I'm not saying the interview was useless, it's always fun to know how people try to understand and interpret you. Sometimes they're oh so right, other times they're just dead wrong. For the most part though, the counselor was right... I guess. :P And as always, she was fun to talk with. :)
Anyway...
Thesis time can really draw out the greatest fears and doubts from any poor student who is not, and never will be, entirely convinced that CS is the right thing for him/her. :(( Yeah sure, I'll do all I can to get through it. I want to graduate, after all. But I am _so_ dreading the next few months and I'm pretty sure that by Feb, I'd feel about two hundred years older. Ugh.
But no, no! I am a hopeful, optimistic, positive person!!! (According to that guidance test with the picture-storytelling thing, anyway.) We can do this!!!
Not to mention... the magic number: 3.6999999999 or 3.7 for short. I think this semester will end with a lot of bitterness and frustration for me. Hahaha. All because of some hard lessons learned from last sem, one of which is... I'd be much better off with a degree in Core and a minor in Dubbing.
*I need a hero!* CompSAt GA02 hangover.
Ooooh! Let's talk about my teachers for this sem. They're really interesting, since I only got the "tira-tira" during reg.
PHILO 104: Fr. David. You'll feel only either of these two during class: calm/bored/sleepy/but-CANNOT-yawn-or-slouch, or sobrang-stressed-shet-kumukulot-na-ang-buhok-ko. Neither feels good. The thought of being exempted from the final orals is the only thing that convinces me to wake up every morning so I won't be late. And may I say that cutting is _unthinkable_ unless you want to write a 1-page cross-referenced single-spaced "absence paper" due the next meeting. I can go on and on about other stressful and hair-threatening policies in our class... But a surprising thing is, sometimes you actually enjoy his lectures. Most of the time, what he says makes real sense. Yes, he stammers and all, takes phone calls in class, but he has this way of making the whole class laugh while keeping a straight, expressionless, and unsmiling face. Basta, enough about him, I'm sure there's lots of other opportunities to blog about my exciting philo adventures in the coming days.
THEO 151: Tessa Rosana. (She reminds me of someone. I'm not sure if it's my lola.) Mostly lectures and reports, but the good thing is, she's one of the few teachers who really exert effort to include students in a discussion. I think we're delayed wrt the syllabus, but it's only because my classmates ask a lot of generally interesting questions.
POLSCI 100: Ramos. The Berch classroom is really conducive for late afternoon naps. Ihehele ka pa ng carolers na palaging nagpapractice sa katabing room. Anyway, okay naman ang discussion, pero andami ring pinapabasa. May potential naman to be a good and enjoyable class, nakakasira nga lang talaga ang classroom. Nakakainis nga lang pag current affairs na ang pinag-uusapan, kasi wala pa rin akong interes na alamin ang mga nangyayari sa Pilipinas. Oo nga, shame on me. Hehe.
HCI: Rodrigo. Yeah, it's one _cool_ class. Interesting activities, at masarap ang mallows! HCI is one aspect of CS that really appeals to me, so far... Hehe. Yun lang, there's not much to rant about.
PSYCH 110: Joy. Hyperactive classmates. The GDs are fun, but the lectures can be quite boring. Panget din ang classroom, madaming insekto! Madaming readings, pero pwedeng pagtiyagaan. Maam Annette is a mystery I'd like to meet someday. :P We're a bunch of CS seniors in a room full of younger Psych majors -- sometimes I can't help but feel so old and un-psychish.
THESIS: No comment. Hi, Zippy. :P
There are so many things to do... :( So many movies passing me by.
