be brave

after i have said it, a lot of them said that i was brave to do that. i was brave to say that. nagpasalamat pa ang ilan at sinabi sa akin na, "tama, iyon nga ang nararamdaman ko rin, hindi ko lang talaga masabi."

masasabi ko lamang na the strength did not come from me. "without God, i am nothing." sobrang nung wednesday, i really didn't know what i was going to do. but then, when i went to Mass and went to my theo class, sapul. i knew what i was going to do. though i know olats ang pagkasabi ko dahil i never was good at public speaking, okay na rin. alam ko tama yun.

marami namang nag-reassure sa akin. sobrang pati sa lessons, sa Theo, sa Philo, sa DS, natatamaan ako at natutuwa ako dahil ayun nga, alam ko na i made the right move.

haay. tapos nung thursday, dahil 7:00 palang, tapos na ang DevMan, sinamahan ako nina Pam at Jene sa cathouse til dumating ang sundo ko. tapos we shared about our concerns sa mga you know. :) medyo yun din kasi ang linya nila eh. at ang nakakatuwa ay naipapasok namin ang natututunan from Development Studies. hmm. makes me want to take up Organizational Dev't next sem. ang daming pwedeng gawin. haay. i love DS and DS majors. grabe sila mag-isip. one of the best decisions in my life ang pag-shift.

haha, puro na lamang desisyon.
buti nalang hindi ako nag-iisa tuwing gumagawa ako ng mga ito.. :)

tampisaw!

because i am an advocate of anything that will benefit the environment...

kami dapat ang juniors ng sacse ngayon..

matteo ricci

entry dala nang ka-hyperan from studying the whole day.

yehey. :)
maraming salamat, tj at jan. haha, tayo ang unang gumamit ng matteo. haha. ang cute namin kanina nina tj at jan. tinext ko si tj, telling him na bukas na ang matteo, at inaya ko siyang pumunta (kasi kahapon nang pauwi kami, sobrang yun ang pinaguusapan namin). so reply naman siya na sige, punta kami. nang pababa na ako galing sa rizal library para puntahan siya sa faura steps, naalala ko si jan, so tinext ko siya na punta kami ni tj, "sama ka?" haha. na-excite naman siya at sinundan kami sa faura.

pagdating namin sa may sec field, kinabahan kami. "naku, bukas na kaya talaga yung matteo?" "paano kung hindi pa siya bukas?" at ang huling hirit ni jaymee na, "naku, kung sarado pa siya, huwag kayo magagalit sa akin ha!" :p labo.

pagdating sa vicinity ng matteo, may apprehensions pa rin kami na pumasok. kesyo madilim kasi baka sarado pa nga. haha, pero may nakita kami ni jan na tao! haha, so lapit kami. sinilip muna namin yung building, at "wow!" haha. na-excite naman kami mag-aral na. errrr. binuksan namin ang door, at bukas nga! nilapitan kami ng guard, at sinabi nga na bukas na ang matteo. whee. let's go study!

we then explored the whole building. as in WHOLE building. tapos pinlano na namin kung paano namin gagamitin ang building for the sem. hahaha. olats.

tapos nag-aral na kami. haha. i stayed there from 1230-330pm. as in there was a point na ako nalang mag-isang studyante sa building. oh diba? i can foresee my sem! haha. with less extra-curriculars, mukhang dito ko makaka-date ang mga tolosa, leland, dacanay, garcia, gabuna, at tba readings! (teka, wala akong girl na teacher?)

yun lang! haba ng kwento. :P

hmm.

i have never been into studying before. as in my reading and lecture notes are filled. (though hindi pa rin naiwasan ang F kay fr.dacanay.)

i'm appreciating this now. i'm actually enjoying studying. my goodness. :)

as in, eversince i've left, i've shifted my excess energy to going to the lib (either rizal or rupert mayer) to study. yay.

sana magtuluy-tuloy.

storm

Job 38:1, 8-11

The Lord addressed Job out of the storm and said: Who shut within doors the sea, when it burst forth from the womb; when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling bands? When I set limits for it and fastened the bar of its door, and said: Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!

pissed

be careful with your actions, you may not be aware of it, but you may be actually hurting people already. communication is very important, make sure that you do not bypass anyone with the decisions that you are making.

i am very disappointed, were my expectations too high?

and i hope you do have your own initiative. i am also disappointed that i am making the steps to patch things up. to think that i was the one hurt.

i am very sorry.
i can truly say that i made the right move.

let me cool off first, i do not want to talk with high emotions, i might say something that i may regret. i do not want to wage war. that would mean i'm being unprofessional, and i wouldn't want to be like that because i would be eating my own words then. i just want to remind you of things. this is not for my own benefit, heck, what now if i got hurt? what matters is that this should be avoided in the future.

thanks for all the pain. you're making me realize that everything else in my life is beautiful.

happy fiesta.
wala akong maisip na maisulat para sa ngayon, ito na lamang ulit:


CLICK mo ito.

18

is a very significant number. hahaha.

iyan ang edad ko sa ngayon, at iyan din ang bilang ng araw bago ang birthday ko. :)

----

sinasabi ko na eh, ilang araw akong masaya, tapos ngayon bibigyan niyo ako ng rason para mainis at sobrang umiyak.

great. when will we all ever learn?

sakto.

pakikinig

minsan mahirap makinig kasi mayroon tayong mga sariling inaasahan kung ano ang gusto nating marinig. may pagkakataon na hindi tama ang ating pakikinig dahil nahahaluan ng pangamba na ang maririnig natin ay hindi ayon sa gusto natin.

sa pakikinig, mas mainam na pakawalan ang lahat ng inaasahan. sa pakikinig, buksan ang puso at isipan sa kung ano ang sinasabi. isuko ang lahat.

it is in silence that you hear.

DS130

hindi ko alam nung una kung ano ang DS130. alam ko lang na ito ay Development Management. tapos kahapon, pagbigay ng course syllabus, ang buong course title pala nito ay: Development Management: Community Development and Social Change.

seryoso? Community Development? sobrang natuwa ako. i love, i love!

sana marami akong matutunan para ma-apply ko sa mga Community na pinagsisilbihan ko :)

road to success

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

the word

astig, sa lesson sa Philo kanina, pwedeng ipasok ang John 1:1,14

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

ako ay isang napaka-iyaking bata.

i am =)

there are times when you just feel that your life is just a routine, each single day you do the same things, but then there will come a point when a random thing happens, and it will be the highlight of your world..

wala lang. masaya ako today. at the past days, masasabi ko na masaya ako. :) ang daming nagbago, at natutuwa talaga ako. iba na ang disposisyon ko sa mga bagay, at nagpapasalamat ako sa pagbabago. third day of school na, at medyo heavy na ang load kaagad, pero hindi ako affected in a bad way. naalala ko last sem, with the same load stressed at depressed na ako. pero ngayon, i just study. i have fixed my priorities. naiintindihan ko na kahit kaunti kung bakit nangyari ang mga bagay. siguro nga.

i hope this goes on. so far maganda ang mga subjects ko. DS130 under Mr. Gabuna (yes! siya! idol kooo sa kanyang pagka-Big Heart!), at ES175 na TBA ang teacher na lamang ang hindi ko alam kung paano.

yun lang. :)
haaay. salamat, Lord. patuloy Kang nagpapadala ng mga rason.

sino gusto ng Bonding Session? please? :)

moving on

ang labong frustration..

gusto ko ng SOA shirt, kaso nga lang wala na akong pera (maski dun sa cookie jar kasi nga bumili ako ng telepono diba?) so ayun. hanggang panaginip nalang. haha. oh well.

unless may mabait diyan na ibibili ako, P120 lang naman. sige na, malapit na birthday ko. less than a month nalang. :b

oh well. wag niyo ko paaasahin ha! hahaha. alis na nga ako. nailabas ko na yun. tanggapin nalang.

*from Sanggu e-mail.

heto na.

wow, ang daming entries for today..

ngayong sem, alam ko marami akong matututunan. maraming pagbabago ang nangyayari, at kailangan mag-adjust. pero ayun. alam ko kaya ko. alam ko maraming tutulong. ang pag-aaral ang priority ngayon. alam ko mas marami akong matutulungan kung pagbubutihin ko ang pag-aaral ko.

sana maging okay na ang lahat, and i'm not only talking about what you guys know. may mga bagay lang ngayon na.. haay. basta. =c

kaya yan. dadaanin na lamang sa panalangin. alam ko lagi Siyang nandyan, kasama ko, kasama natin. ngingiti na lamang ako. kailangan masaya. kahit na may mga umaalis, kailangan masaya. kailangan marunong tayong magpalaya. hay! complicated.

pero ayun. kahit anong mangyari, masaya ako. ito na dapat ang disposisyon ko. no more na dapat ang pagka-depressed. just keep in mind June 15! naka-two years na.

magiging maayos ang lahat, i'm sure of it.

Junior year, here I come.

i chose my dream. :)

the prod staff kwento

ayan, sabi ko kagabi magkukuwento ako.. walang magrereklamo kung taglish at conyotic. ayaw ko na mag-isip ng tama at proper na grammar! be it english or fil!

simulan natin sa kontekso. ano ba ang ginawa ko ng friday at saturday? anong prod staff?

nagsimula ang lahat nang i-text ako ni guita nung tuesday kung libre ba ako ng friday at saturday evening. she asked me if i can help usher para sa ACGC Farewell Concert. siyempre, ako naman oo kaagad, dahil gusto ko talagang tumulong kay guita. naisip ko na mas matutulungan ko siya kung mag-usher ako, kaysa i-plug ko lamang sa email at sa blog ko.

so nagreply naman ako na "oo." kaya ayun. may nagtext sa akin kinagabihan at sinabi na may meeting daw kami sa mcdo katipunan ng 9am thursday that week. so okay. punta ako.

pagdating ko sa mcdo, na-meet ko ang isang guy na kakagraduate lang last march. AB Comm siya, at kilala ko ang mga blockmates niya. hahaha. small world talaga oh. pero siya, hindi ko kilala. ang pangalan niya ay Rome, at natuwa ako dahil pareho pala kaming hindi part ng Glee Club. we're both helping out. it turns out na hindi lamang pala ushering ang gagawin namin! Production Staff pala kami! oh my. wow. natuwa ako at na-excite. naalala ko ang mga experience ko kapag may events si Kuya at inuutusan niya ako. hahaha. yun ang "informal prod staff experience" ko (foreshadowing, helpful yan.)

so chika chika with Rome, at grabe, ang daldal niya. sabi nga ni Vanessa (prod staff din!), "friendable siya," which is very true. so ayun. nalaman namin na kasama siya sa Euro Tour! wow. astiiiig. pero grabe na ito, mag-isa lang siyang Prod Staff na kasama. so good luck to him talaga. sana hindi siya masyadong matuliro ha.

okay, so assigning of tasks. dahil medyo adik ako sa camera, nailagay ako sa documentation (teka lang, read ooon). okay, medyo kinabahan ako roon ah. i take pictures of trees and churches and clouds--inanimate objects! not of people. hahaha. so patay patay. kinabahan talaga ako, dahil hindi ko alam kung okay ba ang kalalabasan ng mga litrato ko. oh well, pwede na rin. :b

basta ang tasks lang na napag-usapan ay documentation, back-stage, ushers, at sounds and lights. pero teka, pagdating sa actual event, hmm...

for friday, ang first day ng concert, 1130 raw ang call time sa caf, dahil mag-lunch muna bago pumuntang makati. haha. 12 kami dapat umalis ng ateneo, pero nagkaroon ng minor delays. tambay muna sa ACGC room sa MVP to make final props (na hindi naman nagamiiiit). dumating si Issa at si Jillian (spell?) na mga totoong Glee Club singers. haha. ang bait nila. :) ay nakalimutan ko, kasama ko na si I noon. bale, si I ay dating trainee sa ACGC, pero nag-quit muna siya. baka bumalik daw siya ulit this sem. :)

on the way to makati, sobrang laugh trip. ang ka-hyperan ni Jillian, na hindi ko alam kung saan niya nakukuha. hahaha. with matching panic mode pa yan kasi ang dami niyang naiwanan sa bahay nila. haha. sobrang traffic sa makati, so mga 130 na kami nakarating sa Equitable. may ilang singers na naroroon. time to work!

first task was to be familiarized with the venue. so tour kami! punta sa stage, backstage, up the backstage, down the backstage, up the balcony sa stage, baba ulit sa stage, ikot sa orchestra seats, akyat sa balcony seats, akyat sa audio room, baba sa front desk area, balik sa loob ng auditorium. hay! so task 1 completed. task 2 is to put up the main backdrop: a tarp and two strips of blue cloths. so paano?? una kinabit muna namin yung logo na ginawa nung umaga sa tarp. as in with lots of double sided tape (tekaaaa. read ooon). ako nagkabit ng logo, while the Dan J and I and some singers "sewed" the tarp to a curtain rod with nylon string. haha. ang cute namin. nang matapos na yun, we had to tie the curtain rod (with the tarp) to the ceiling of the stage. ang saya nito! Rome was up there, while i was at the audience area. may walkie talkie kami at niraradyo ko siya kung pantay na: "o, urong mo sa kaliwa, taas mo to the right, mga two inches! ops! tama na! pantay na! sige, secure mo na!" o diba? sabi nga ni Issa, "ibang level of work ka na ha!" hahaha. good job! tapos ng tarp, yung cloth naman. ganon din naman yun.



ayan ang kinalabasan. medyo magulo pa nga actually yan. pero o diba?!

pagkatapos niyan, yung tarp naman sa pagpasok ng Equitable, medyo mas madali naman yun kaysa sa stage area. haha. after that, nag-break muna kami at kumain sa mini-stop. haha. bonding session with the other prod staffers (haha, akala mo naman ang dami namin, eh lima lamang kami on the first day at anim nung second day!).. noodles, ice cream, granita, kanin, chicken, macaroni, "dinner na ba ito o merienda lang?", batteries, radyo na may nag-"thank you very much" (napulot sa frequency), milo na may rain water, soiree, c2, picnic, maalat na food, 7-11, "refillable ba ang milo?", etceteraaa..

pagbalik namin sa Equitable, inayos na namin ang front desk. nilagay ang mga CDs at programs, ang mga forms, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.. nagdikit din kami ng mga Reserved Seats. haha, nakakaloka na ito ah, detailed masyado.. anyway, concert proper na!

wala masyadong inusher dahil wala namang mga VIP that night. so medyo easy easy lang ang buhay namin. si Dan J at I ay mga doorman. haha, sila ang taga-gupit ng tickets. ano nga ba ginagawa ko that time?? teka, hindi ko maalala. hahaha. ahh. while the people were entering, i'm inserting the extra notes sa souvenir program! haha. medyo 100 programs lang naman yun. pero i wasn't alone naman kasi tinulungan ako nung taga-Virlanie. :) so medyo nahirapan lang ako makipag-communicate sa kanya dahil French siya, pero marunong naman ng English, at konting-konting Filipino. haha, memories of WYD baaaa? after the programs, docu na ako ulit. si Dan J ay napunta na sa backstage. for the whole of the first part ng show, i was seated sa aisle seat, sa likod ni ate bea! haha. daming pictures :) gamit ko ang camera na pinrovide ni Rome, dahil mas masaya siyang mag-zoom! =c waah! pero sa ibang pictures, camera ko ang gamit ko. diskarte.

intermission, biglang napunta sa akin ang walkie talkie. i-cue ko raw ang backstage kung lalabas na ang mga bata (ang Virlanie Children's Choir). nakuuu. okay. tapos may problem daw yung video nila, so kailangan ng tech. so tech na rin ako! punta ako kung nasaan ang laptop at ang projector at ang emcee. okay, okay, okay. ayoko magkwento rito. hahaha. :) basta! haha. baka may magalit sa akin eh. :b so stress stress dahil sira nga una ang audio, tapos in the end, sira rin pala ang video. so wala nalang video in the end. ang cute ng mga bataaa! gusto ko sila lahat i-hug. they sang Leron Leron Sinta and a song which is something about a Kalesa.. :b medyo na-delay ang entrance ng Glee Club after the Virlanie.. waaah. sorry! my bad. na-amuse ako masyado sa mga bata.

teka, ang haba na. tsaka na ang second day!

basta ang daming ginawa. sabi ko nga kay ate tish: usher, documentor, taga-cue sa backstage, shock absorber ng emcee, taga-entertain, taga-benta ng souvenir programs at cds, taga-kabit ng tarp at kung ano pa..

mas maraming nangyari ng ikalawang araw, pero mahaba na ito eh. hahaha.
sabi ko nga kay Partner, ang second day ay CRAZY!

go prod staff!

prod stafffff.

(L-R): Rome, Dan J, I, Jaymee, and Vanessa

go prod staff! tsaka na ang kwento. ang dami dami dami. pero dahil gabi na at sobrang pagod na ako, bukas nalang. :)

whee. salamat sa mga pumunta sa ACGC Concert.

changes again

gusto ko lang i-point out..

nagbasa ako ng mga entries ng ibang tao, at na-realize ko lang talaga na tama ang mga natutunan ko, at na-reassure ako.

kita niyo na, may mabuting naidudulot ang mga pagbabago. natutuwa ako na may mga naka-realize din noon. alam ko noong una, sobrang gusto niyong itapon yung idea. maraming inaway at sumama ang loob sa ilang mga tao. may mga nasabing hindi mabubuti, pero in the end, nakita natin na "okay naman pala."

minsan talagang dapat matuto tayong makinig. para naman sa ikabubuti ng lahat ang pagbabagong iyon diba? sila naman ang nakaaalam dahil marami na silang pinagdaanan. tiwala lamang talaga. tayo? hindi pa naman ganon karami ang alam natin sa buhay. marami pa talaga tayong matututunan. pero minsan, talagang matigas ang ulo natin, ayaw nating matuto. ayaw natin ng pagbabago, kasi sanay na tayo sa mga nangyayari--kahit na minsan, nahihirapan na talaga tayo. pero hindi naman pwedeng habambuhay na ganoon. we have to give space for changes. especially if those changes are for the betterment of things. development! hindi ba't ang halaman ay kinakailangang tabasan para lalong lumaki at magbunga? (salamat sa metaphor, gabbie)

o diba? wala akong sinabi sa entry na ito na concrete, pero may idea ba kayo kung ano ang sinasabi ko? actually marami. haha. hindi lang yung personal issue ko ito. issue rin ito ng maraming tao na narinig ko the past months tungkol sa isang major happening. sana may natutunan tayong lahat, dahil from what i am hearing now, tila maganda naman ang kinalabasan ng lahat.

masaya ako sa mga pagbabagong ito..

happy june 15th

haha,ang daming nagtatanong, "anong meron sa june 15? hindi mo naman birthday ah. sinong ka-anniversary mo? bakit kailangan i-celebrate?"

hahaha. sorry, i can't say. two more years.

haay.
Pink Bond Paper.
Five Characters.

ang pagmamahal! it's everywhere.

happy second year! :)

ntbk

dahil cost cutting nga, hindi na ako bumili ng notebook ngayong sem. binder nalang muna ngayon. mas fun nga ata yun. :)

nabutasan ko na ang mga bond paper (maraming stock ng bond paper dito sa bahay) at nailagay ko na sa binder folder. yung divider nalang. hindi ko maalala kung saan ko inilagay eh. nakuuu, ulyanin.

ilang subject kaya sa isang binder? kasya ba ang anim? siguro iyong apat na major na lamang. tapos yung theo at philo, ihihiwalay ko. paano kaya?

plurarity

ang laki ng problema ko!
hahaha.

na-mention ko na ito sa ilan dati, at pinagtawanan nila ako.
ang rason kaya hindi ako masyadong nanonood ng tv, bukod sa binibigyan ako ng hard time ng mga mata ko, ay dahil may cable na kami. simula ng magkaroon kami ng cable, na-confuse ako sa kung ano ang papanoorin ko. hindi ko alam kung ano ang maganda. tapos kung may maganda naman, feeling ko may mas maganda sa ibang channel. sa dinami-rami ng channels at palabas, nacoconfuse na ako.

kaya sorry na lamang kung hindi ako nakaka-relate sa mga pinagsasasabi ninyong magagandang palabas.

there you go. nailabas ko na rin ang mababaw na issue na iyon.

at home

kami ng Ate ko (as in kapatid ko!!) sa jollibee nung umuwi siya sa pinas last 2004.
diba ang saya namin? jollibee lang katapat niyan. :)

ipamahagi ang pagmamahal

Pilgrim's Theme

Lyrics by Johnny Go, SJ
Music by Manoling Francisco, SJ

Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear.
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air.
Tired of getting tied to doing what’s required
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things?

Through with taking roads someone else designed.
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine.
Through with going through one more day – what’s new?
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things?

Refrain:
I think I’ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings.
I hope to find my place, so my life will fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place in the greater scheme of things.

Each must go his way. But how can I decide?
Which road I should take; who will be my guide?
I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far.
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things.

The road before me bends; I don’t know what I’ll find.
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind?
Should I even be surprised that you’re with me in disguise
For it’s your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things.

Refrain:
I think I’ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings.
I hope to find my place so my life will fall in place
I know I in time I’ll find my place...

Bridge:
For yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very heart of the greater scheme of things.

So here I think I’ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings.
I hope to find my place, so my life will fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place...

Chorus:
Why don’t we follow the voice that calls within.
Dance to the silent song it sings.
One day we’ll find our place
For all things fall in place.
For all things have a place
in the greater scheme of things.

hindi ako glee club, pero dahil close friend ko si guita, at dahil sinusuportahan ko sila (at ito lamang ang maitutulong ko), pinopromote ko ang concert nila:

discernment

..."To seek and find the will of God in the disposition of one's life." We may suppose that there are times and occasions when one must make a choice of enormous importance. Still, when it comes to remaining faithful to God alone, there are no petty choices. Every single free act is the occasion for encountering God, as every embrace of what the present brings is a new discovery of the work of the Spirit. So discernment is done beginning in the present, be it simple or be it complex. One asks oneself questions that reveal opportunities or mistakes, allowing one to discover in the concreteness of one's life the will of God. - from Ignatian Spirituality By Fr Maurice Giuliani, S.J.

why is it hard to say goodbye?

nakuu, wala nang gimik ng biernes? oh well.
got to study hard! :)
this is MY sem!

hang on.

yes, i am doing so.

i am excited for the sem, for one thing, i'll have more time for myself. and more time for academics, maybe i'll be able to save myself from the pangit probe status of my course. let's remove the maybe.. i WILL get out of that darn probe status. another thing, dapat masaya na ako that time, wala nang magiging rason ng pagkalungkot ko, o pagkafrustrate ko, o pagkadisappoint ko.

handa na ako!
(well, as soon as i get this over and done with...on june 12th)


at Lord, naririnig na kita ulit. :)
Loud and clear.
salamat.

the wrong things

haay.
hindi pa nga ako handa eh, pero lahat naman kayo, lagi niyong sinasabi ang mga maling bagay sa maling pagkakataon. kaya kung kausap niyo ako at bigla na lamang akong hindi sumagot, ibig sabihin non may nasabi na kayong mali.

pero okay lang. siguro nga nananadya na. konti na lamang, at magiging malaya na ako sa pakiramdam na ito. pero ganon nga siguro ano? masakit muna bago maramdaman ang kasiyahan..

friendster

hindi ako mahilig magbrowse ng friendster, pero dahil wala ako magawa, inisa-isa ko ang mga friends sa friendster.
haay. senti senti. nakita ko ang mga friends from high school, at na-miss ko sila.

haay, tama na.

Pag-aalay ng Sarili

lyrics: Lionel Valdellon
mula sa Prayers from the Upper Room

Panginoong Hesus ako ay nakikiisa
sa 'Yong walang hanggan at walang katapusang
'sangkatauhang pag-aalay.

Iniaalay ko ang aking sarili sa bawat araw ng aking buhay
At sa bawat sandali ng bawat araw ayon
sa 'Yong pinaka banal at kagalang-galang na kalooban.

Ikaw ang naging alay para sa 'king kaligtasan.
Nais kong ako'y maging alay mg 'yong pag-ibig.

Tanggapin Mo ang aking ninanasa
Kunin Mo ang aking handog.
Malugod Mong pakinggan ang aking hinaing.

Itulot Mong sa 'Yong pag-ibig ako mamatay,
Itulot Mong sa 'Yong pag-ibig ako mabuhay.
Itulot Mong ang huling pintig ng aking puso ay
maging tanda ng isang wagas na
pag-ibig ng isang wagas na pag-ibig.

leftright

dahil center-brain daw ako, kaya ko gawin ito nang tama.
astiiiiiig.

"Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?"

no goodbyes, only see you laters.

mismong nararamdaman ko

galing sa Neopets

overwhelmed

iyak na lamang muna.

tsaka na ang kwento. kapag final na.

magbasa

nakuuu. kailangan ko na magsimula magbasa tungkol sa MDGs kung gusto kong karirin ito. at kailangan asap sana kasi pagdating ng pasukan, alam kong malabo na naman dahil sa lahat ng mga readings: tatlong DS major, + DS free elective (social inequality!) + theo + philo! good luck.

hmmm. sige na nga. magsisimula na ako ngayon. pero ayaw kong nagbabasa sa computer eh. i-print ko ba? wala bang mga materyales na naka-print na? yung mga primers muna, tsaka na ang in-depth materials.

whee! favorite MDG ko: Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability.

:) Sustainable Development.

sige! maghahanap na ako ng materials.

TAYO TAYO RIN (MDG ANTHEM)

performed by: Ai-Ai de las Alas, Aiza Seguerra, APO Hiking Society, Bayang Barrios, Christian Bautista, Freddie Aguilar, Gary Valenciano, Janno Gibbs, Jaya, Joey Ayala, Joey G. of Side A Band, Julia Abueva, Kitchie Nadal, Kuh Ledesma, Lea Salonga, Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez, Rivermaya, Sarah Geronimo, Sharon Cuneta

MDG Goal 8: Develop a Global partnership for Development

CHORUS:
Sino pang magdadamayan
Kundi tayo-tayo rin
Kung may pagkakataong tumulong
Huwag palampasin

Simulan na ang magtanim
Ng mabubuting gawain
Dahil sino pang aani
Kundi tayo-tayo rin

Kung dumaraing ka
Masdan mo ang musmos
Gusto sanang mag-aral
Ngunit nanlilimos

Kung nagigipit ka
Masdan mo ang dalaga
Di maabot ang pangarap
Dahil babae sya

PRE-CHORUS:
Bawat tao'y may problema
Ngunit bawat tao'y may lakas
Magsikap ka, magsama-sama
Lahat ng iya'y may lunas!

REPEAT CHORUS

Kung nalulungkot ka
Masdan ang isang ina
Di mabigyang-buhay
Ang sanggol nyang dala

Kung nangungulila
Masdan ang may sakit
Hangad nya ay unawa
Ngunit walang lumalapit

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Halika, kumilos na
Sabay tayo
Tara may oras pa
Tulungan tayo!

NARRATION:
Ang pag-alis ng kahirapan
pagpapabuti ng edukasyon
pagsulong ng patas na karapatan at
kalusugan ng lahat...
Ang pag-aalaga ng kalikasan,
At pandaigdigang pagtutulungan
Ito ang Millenium Development
Goals o MDGs.
Sikapin nating maabot ang mga ito.
May kanya-kanya tayong lakas!
Tulungan tayo!

REPEAT CHORUS

-

kailan kaya magiging ok? nakakapagod mag-isip. pwede bang time out muna? pero tumatakbo ang oras.. =c

piktyur

favorite picture ko ito sa lahat ng kinuha ko sa sportsfest. wala lang, gusto ko ishare.

asap.

haay ang mga issue.
sana makapagdesisyon na as soon as possible, para naman nahahanda sila, at nahahanda rin ako. kung mag-focus ba ako sa academics ko dahil sa status ko sa course ko, at syempre ang feelings ko sa issue na ito.
haay buhay! ano na naman ba ito?

buti na lamang may mga napagsasabihan ako.
at buti na lamang may mga taong alam ko na mahal ako (at siyempre mahal ko rin sila).

salamat, salamat.
alam niyo naman kung sino kayo.

unity

Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father, I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me." --John 17:20-21
