Several Thougts (All in One)

Hi blog! I have a few things, thoughts, and insights to share about again. Hahaha. Let's begin.

Shamcey Supsup winning the third runner up for Miss Universe

I think we're okay already that Shamcey won the 4th spot (or third runner up) and not ask for more, like putting her up to a higher spot. I think she did well and just by being in top 5 of Miss Universe for two consecutive years is quite an achievement already.

Nevertheless, I'm very proud of our very own Shamcey Supsup. It even makes me proud that she's from UP Diliman, a magna cum laude, and a board topnotcher in the licensure exam for architects. I know a few architecture students from my org and I hear complains from them a lot of times about the difficulty of the course, having to endure a lot of higher math and physics subjects.

If she will teach in UP, I'd be really happy. I want to see her in person. I adore her for she basically has everything. She's an achiever, academically she's done great, she's beautiful, and she brought honor to our country.

I can't say anything else. She's a complete package. Her boyfriend must be very lucky. The thought of it breaks my heart </3

My paper in Kas 1

I took Kasaysayan 1 (Kasaysayan at mga Institusyong Pilipino) in my first year first sem in UP. I don't have any org that time since I'm a newbie. And since I'm newbie that time, I was so studious and hardworking that my only priorities were myself and my studies (how I will get high grades).

I wrote this paper, which is a kind of reaction paper to a film we've watched. It's about the final battle in Baler during the Spanish colonization. Baler (in Aurora) was one of the few places in the Philippines which was redeemed by Filipino revolutionaries.

I can't recall the points I raised in my paper. I actually wrote it in Filipino because we were required to and the medium of instruction in our Kas 1 class, to begin with, is in Filipino. All I know is that I wrote it well since I have many supporting documents (in the form of journal articles, periodicals and books) and I found one key source which supported my arguments well. I forgot the full title of that periodical but it's about Philippine Cinema.

I was reminded of this paper because a few nights ago, Karla Dulay called me. She was asking me how I wrote that paper because our professor there (Ms. Krystel Obispado which at the time when she was our prof was completing her master's thesis. I hope she's finished it by now) used my paper as an example of a good paper in their class (although I scored 9 over 20, which is weird right?). I think I really wrote it well.

Nothing really, it's just that I'm suddenly pulled back in time when I was still that studious. I remember I don't have to think of anything but myself. But I was usually alone that time. Since they prohibited the selling of cigarettes in UP when I arrived there, I had to find a place nearby which sells cigarettes and I found Pook Ricarte (in front of the now GT-Toyota Asian Cultural Center). There I found my haven and I would smoke alone.

If you think about it, my life could have been perfectly well with just me. Sometimes I really enjoy solitude, it makes me calm. But I don't regret joining some orgs (UP SAMASKOM is one) because it's in there where I gained confidence and discovered my hidden talents.

Anyway, I just miss the old times. My first UP friends, the Materials Engineering block which was my classmate in Kas 1 and Jizel, Miguel, Fatima and Cheenee.

I hope I can come back to that time where I'm very enthusiastic about studying.

Ate Paneks found out my blog

I, for some stupid reason posted my blog link in my facebook account. I wanted my blog to be private and to serve as a medium for me to release my stress. I found out Ate Joyce a.k.a. Ate Paneks found my blog. I posted the link in my facebook and deleted it again because I realized I can't let people read about it. Like my plurk, I curse people's name in my blog. Sorry I really am that mean. I discovered that Ate Paneks found it because Berna told me about it. She even knew that "Hypnic Jerk" is the title of my blog.

I really am so stupid. I have to be wary now about posting stuff here.

A blog entry for Samaskom

University of the Philippines Samahan ng mga Mag-aaral sa Komunikasyon (U.P. SAMASKOM) is my second org in UP. It is here where I'm really active since I'm an executive committee officer here. My first org was UP Journalism Club (but I'm not active in this org anymore). I haven't attended any activities and meetings in this org because I cannot commit anymore. I'm too busy being an officer and a performer for Samaskom and I'm in my Comm Res 165 now. From here on, everything will be really difficult. In fact, I can't understand why I still have time to blog. We have an exe comm meeting later at 2:30pm and it's 2:03. I don't know if this blog entry will even qualify for a space in our SAMASKOM Rag (the official publication of our org). This blog entry's too personal to qualify as an article.

Maybe I'll just write later. I'm running out of time. I have to catch things up. I still need to draft our marketing kit for our Comm Res 165. 

I can do this! I'm positive about it.

Note: This blog entry should have been posted a week ago. But due to busy sched, it's only now that I was able to publish this. Right now, I'm trying to figure out how I can privatize my account. I was about to add more on this entry but found it pointless since it is too late to publish this. Anyway, here it is.
