future atenista

I can hear Matt from the adjacent room shouting, "one big fight!"
<3 ang cute niya.


Pero minsan nakakatawa/tuwa rin kasi ang isinisigaw niya ay, "go san beda, one big fight!" hehehe. :)

"I hurt because I have been refusing to bend. Pain breaks me down so that I can be reshaped. If it's really pain, if it has come to that, then there is no getting out of it. Nothing I do works. It will grip me until I am transformed." - Hugh Prather, Notes on Love and Courage

Tinaya ako ni JenTan

Wala pa ako sa kalahati ng 42-page paper ko, pero dahil stressed na stressed na ako (to the point of literally err. never mind) gagawin ko muna ang pinagagawa ni JenTan sa akin, dahil lab ko siya hehe.

In the 8 facts about you, you must share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. Then at the end you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. Ambidextrous ako, pero dahil tamad akong i-practice ang kaliwa, kanan lang ang ginagamit ko. Pero kung trip ko lang ginagamit ko rin ang kaliwa. Astig e.

2. Paikot ako kumain ng: cookies, sandwich, burger, and the like. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Theory ng isa kong friend ay dahil nasa gitna ang lahat ng sarap. /:)

3. I play the flute. :) And I plan to take up classes again next sem.

4. I write my own quotes when I text people. (Boo, but I seldom do it now).

6. Shiftee ako sa DS. Pumasok ako sa Ateneo as a Lit-Eng major, pero nag-shift ako second sem of my sophomore year. At tsaka nga pala, fourth choice ko ang DS sa listahan ko. (Puro nasa SOH ang mga naunang choices ko: Lit-Eng, Lit-Fil, CW [CW nga ba o Hum?]). Ayun.

7. Naka-group yung mga pangalan ng tao sa phone book ko sa celphone (e.g. A-Chris Lacdao = A is for ANI Core; ds3-Kiwee = ds3 is for DS na Junior, etc.).

8. May common denominator ang last crush at current crush ko. Hahaha. :) Pero hindi ko sasabihin kung ano yung common denominator dito kasi giveaway yun sa identity nila. Hahaha. :x

Ito ang three generations ng Christian Living / Campus Ministry Department Chairs.
Ang gaganda namin ano? :)

Three generations of LEARNING din ito. Sa ipinakita ni Chris sa kanyang presentation kagabi, ang laki na ng improvement ng CL ko (hehe, inangkin). Nakakatuwa na may mga bagay siyang ginagawa na ako pa ang nagsimula noon, tapos nadagdagan na ni Mara, at ngayon siya
naman.

I've seen how the CL/CM Dept grew, and it has made me proud.

sabi ni

well, I think, Paul Ricouer sa isang article na binasa namin kay Doc G:

"rationality of means, but absurdity of ends"



Ayun.

"If you wish to be perfect”"

O Jesus! can any one declare that he does not desire this great blessing, especially after he has passed through the chief difficulties? No; no one can! We all say we desire it, but there is need of more than that for the Lord to possess entire dominion over the soul. It is not enough to say so, any more than it was enough for the young man when our Lord told him what he must do if he desired to be perfect…

Enter then, enter, my daughters, into your interior; pass beyond the thought of your own petty works, which are no more, nor even as much, as Christians are bound to perform: let it suffice that you are God's servants, do not pursue so much as to catch nothing. Think of the saints, who have entered the Divine Presence, and you will see the difference between them and ourselves. Do not ask for what you do not deserve, nor should we ever think, however much we may have done for God, that we merit the reward of the saints, for we have offended him. Oh, humility, humility! I know not why, but I am always tempted to think that persons who complain so much of aridity in prayer must be a little wanting in this virtue…Let us try ourselves, my sisters, or let our Lord try us; he knows well how to do so, although we often pretend to misunderstand him…

If we turn our backs on him and go away sorrowfully like the youth in the Gospel when he tells us what to do to be perfect, what can God do? for he must proportion the reward to our love for him. This love, my daughters, must not be the fabric of our imagination; we must prove it by our works. Yet do not suppose that our Lord has need of any works of ours; he only expects us to manifest our goodwill…if we continue in it… doubtless, by persevering in this poverty and detachment of soul, we shall obtain all for which we strive. But, mark this - it must be on one condition - that we `hold ourselves for unprofitable servants.’ (Lk 12:48)

thesis ko po!

sa hinaba-haba ng prusisyon sa formation ng student organizations pa rin ang bagsak ko! haha.

help naman o, kailangan namin ng "creative title" ng aming social enterprise.

kwento ko mamaya kung ano ang SE ko. sige.

nangangamusta pagkatapos ng ulan

Hello DS friends,

Kamusta kayo? Nagpaparamdam lang pagkatapos ng malakas
na ulan. Medyo nag-aalala lang kasi ako sa kalagayan
ng mga tao. :-s

Haha, bakit? Kasi kami binaha (nagkaroon kami ng
instant 2-feet swimming pool sa loob ng bahay namin,
pero tuyo na ang majority ng aming mga sahig. pero ang
mga gamit marami pang basa dahil kailangan paarawan
<eh wala pang araw e..> ayun), kaya medyo na-"trauma"
na ako sa malakas na ulan. Pero yun, talagang di ko
maalis sa isip ko kung kamusta ang iba.

Sabi ko nga sa mga kasama ko sa SLB (parte ako ng
disaster management response nila), "Ganito pala ang
feeling ng disaster." Pero sabi nga ng isa sa mga
elders namin sa SLB, "You can better empathize now."
Sabagay. Mas maiintindihan ko na ang mga binibigyan
namin ng psychosocial support. Kahit na ang "minor"
lang ng disaster na naranasan namin sa bahay ko, kahit
papaano may karanasan na ako sa aspetong iyon. Sabi
nga diba sa Philo, hindi ka makakapamilosopiya nang
walang karanasan (ay parang ganon).

Haha, ano ba iyan. Siguro nawiwirdohan na kayo sa
akin. Sorry na, ala-sais pa nga lang ng umaga e. :b

Sige, mag-iingat kayo ha. :)
Keep dry.
