Politicians from UP: Are We Proud of Them

Shifted through my former doodles and thoughts. Here goes:
The regular phone call from my parents has just ended. The stimulating topic for tonight’s phone conversation was politics and the politicians from UP.
Parent: Ganyan naman kayong mga tagaUP eh. Habang nasa college kayo, mga actibista kayo pero paglabas na ng kolehiyo, nawawala na mga prinsipyo [...]

Earn Money by Blogging

A junior standing BS Agriculture student of UP Los Baños, Vincent Glenn “Vince” Lasay is one of the many teens who spend a considerable amount of time connected to the internet. His difference from most of them is that he earns money by blogging online.
He says that writing is not really his talent. It [...]

Vulnerable

I open my mouth
But the words won’t come out
I attempt to reach
But something holds me back
I stay still for I know
I am vulnerable
I am weak
I am scared
I am scared to lose you
To lose what we once had
I can’t let you go
I won’t let it go to waste
But I am afraid to make a move
I am [...]

Rants of a Procrastinator

procrastinator –> i. must. stop. feeling. guilty. feeling. regretful. stop.
it’s like i’m just floating by the day. i wanna feel!
it’s more like can’t focus. can’t function. so much to do. too little initiative. too little time
and here’s the feeling again na patapos na but i haven’t given it my all. parang wala nang redeeming factor

Just for Laughs: School Bashing

I got this from Trisha. And I have to quote her saying, “…well it’s pretty interesting. Though i have to caution you that if you’ve tendencies of having heart attack or something close to that…this isn’t for you.” The only reaction i have after reading this post is laughter!

The Past, The Present, and The Lessons to RELEARN

I am so wacko right now that I did something most people who are bordering depression do. I took a trip down memory lane. I stumbled upon a blog entry I had way back December 9, 2005. In many ways, it describes what I long for at this point in my chaotic life. 
 
Here is an [...]

Random Thoughts at Random Times

1:36pm
BAA
What am I doing here?
Do I have what it takes to remain in the program?
Wtf! I almost failed my supposedly “easy” second long exam. (I’m not being sarcastic here. The exam’s really easy. A lot of people got really high scores)
How the hell am I supposed to get a 2.00 for this course?
 
TIME
With barely [...]

Feeling…

warning: this is an emo post. leave if you must!
I am feeling:
1.       Stressed.
a.       My to-do lists seems to pile up one after the other. When it just seems as if I have accomplished a task, another adds to my pending must-do work. Don’t we ever get rests nowadays?
b.      I have trouble sleeping! For [...]

On Internet Relationships

After two weeks worth of non-stop academic commitments such as long exams, quizzes, papers, recitations and the like, ACLE was a refreshing break in my oh-so-stressful schedule. For the past three ACLEs of my UP life, I have found this time as an excuse to hang around with my group of friends or sleep in [...]

I am a Planeteer!

“Earth…Fire…Wind…Water… Heart!”
“By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!”
Captain Planet, he’s our hero
Gonna take pollution down to zero
He’s our powers magnified
And he’s fighting on the planet’s side…

Tasked to reflect on Victor Hugo’s quote, “How sad is it to think that nature is calling out but humanity refuses to heed”, proved to be a time-table [...]
