Randomness.

Okay let's get started...

*presses all buttons on the office's keyboard*

*Imagination On*

Hmm, everything seems fine. Keyboard's working well...cold atmosphere...quiet place...listening to music...makes me feel sleepy....will sleep in 3 seconds....3...2...1..

zzZZZzzzz

*Wakes up* I'm not on the right place to do that. Okay....

*Imagination Off*

Hmm, my account has still problems here. I still can't access the training modules I have to study for my online training. It's not active for almost a week already...My deadline to finish online trainings was extended due to technical problems. Well at least that was the good news....

Hmm, I find it weird that whenever I post something in blogger, the same entry is posted in multiply too. I must have overlooked something before when creating my blogger. Don't have any interest to diagnose the problem. LOL. For as long as blogger is working well, I could careless...

*Again imagination on...*

Uhh, I missed my 2-year-old newphew....

I arrive home as early as now, 2:30 pm. Then my newphew see me.

Andres : *Jumps around* Yaaaay!! *Runs around the living room* Ashweeksidn XD

He still can't speak but trying hard to make us understand him. XD

Jeff: *Grabs Andres' cheeks* Miss mo si tito? Ha? Hehe.

He's so cute. I wanna make him bounce over the wall. Again and again...LOL.

What am I saying? That would hurt him! Umm, no actually...Not with his large cheeks protecting him XD Bad uncle! Hehe...

It would take me another 1 hour and 30 minutes before I arrive home. Now if I could only teleport from one place to another, that would be convenient.

Hmmm, I promise to use it for good only. Please grant me my wish?? Hehe. That would be impossible.

And if ever, Paladins would start chasing me to kill me. For they believe that Jumpers would eventually become over abusive of their abilities to teleport. XD

I don't wanna get hunted by them... *erases the idea of teleportation*

*Imagination off*

So much for childish imagination....

And.. ummm, hrmmmm, I....actually... uhh, I just wanna say I'm bored since I can't take my trainings yet...Sorry for wasting your time...Whoever you are reading this entry up to this point....

Bye for now :) Good day!

Thieves

Let us assume that today is February 4, 2008. The incident happened last Monday while I'm comuting way back home from college. I'm on a bus. Lots of people are there. Jumpacks. Kaya lang naman ako sumakay kasi gustong gusto ko na umuwi.

I never expected that someone would steal my cellphone. Of all things, my cellphone! It is not like as if I cannot live without phone. It just, ya` know, my contacts are stored there, schedules are noted in there and etc.! In addition to that, I just bought that unit just yesterday! YESTERDAY! Hindi ko pa nga nasisiyahan at napagsasawaan ang features nun!

How did those "thieves" see it? Well, I'm using it inside the bus. MY MISTAKE!

Suddenly the bus stopped. Then two men are trying to go out of the bus. The first one pat me in my shoulder and said, "Padaan, padaan!". So, tabi naman ako kasi nga dadaan siya. Tapos ayun, hindi ko na naisip na baka madukot yung phone ko. Basta bigla nalang may isa pang manong na dumaan tapos dinukot yung phone ko out of my pocket. Naka-slacks kasi ako nun kaya madulas lang at hindi ko masyadong napansin yung kamay niya sa loob ng bulsa ko. Professional huh? *Sabay ngiti sa akin yung dalawang magnanakaw oh*. I was like, "huh? Do I know those two??". Hehe. Nung umandar na ulit yung bus, ayun, dun ko nalang na-realize kung bakit sila ngumiti. May nakuha na pala sila sa akin.

Pagdating ko ng bahay, sinabi ko sa aking mga magulang, "nanakawan po ako ng phone...*with a sad face* May hinala na talaga si mami na may parang mali kasi yung reply sa kanya ay "7am poh!", *she asked what time is the start of my class for the next day*. Alam niya kasing hindi ako naglalagay ng "h" sa "po" ko. Hindi din ako naglalagay ng "!" pag kausap ko parents ko.

Ayun, mabuti nalang daw ay hindi ako sinaktan pa. But still, sayang naman diba?...

Parable of the Pencil

*Narrated as how I remember the way my mentor did*

There was a pencil maker who took a pencil and told him, "Before I put you in this box, I have five important things to tell you. Always remember these and you'll be the best pencil that you could ever be."

1. You can do great things but only if you let yourself be handled by Someone.

2. You'll be experiencing a painful sharpening from time to time but you need this in order to become a better pencil.

3. With the eraser you have, you'll be able to correct your mistakes

4. What matters most is what you've got inside.

5. It is a must that you leave your mark.

As a person...

1. We can be the best person that we can be if we let God guide us.

2. We can be the best person that we can be through facing many problems and trials in life. This would make us better persons.

3. We can be the best person that we can be we learn from our mistakes and we could correct those mistakes

4. We can be the best person that we can be if we have a good character inside us.

5. We will leave our mark. A mark where we could always be remembered. Moreover, it is a must for us to do our mission in this world.

Akala ko, gas-gas na ang parable na ito. But when I started asking people if they know the parable, all of them said "no". I though that maybe I could post this into my blog and persuade them to read it. Hehe.

Thumb mark

Things have changed when I entered my college life. Unlike in high school days, there were teachers to back me up in my studies and guidance councilor that is always ready to help me deal with my problems. Now that I have entered another milestone in my life, I feel as if I’m on my own. All grades I’ll get will depend solely on my performance. Way back high school, I always wanted to make it at the top of the class. Every time I have difficulties in my lessons, I always consult my teachers so that by the time tomorrow comes I’m pretty much prepared. In college, professors could careless. They are very busy in their works and couldn’t find a time to spare for some of their students.

The last time I visited my Alma matter, Merry Treasure School, was on the date of November 8, 2007. I thought way back then that I would pay them a visit in order to know how things are going there. I also have my intention of sharing my college life to my friends there. And, I didn’t expect that I would learn a very significant lesson from a beloved teacher.

Ms. Ruth, a very intelligent, calm, and well oriented person who knows my attitude very well. She reminded me of something that I posses, a gift that I have. “A very competitive person dwells within you” she told me. Behind this competitiveness are the sweet successes and bitter failures. She also knows that failures make me feel frustrated especially if I were not able to get what I’m really competing for. When I didn’t get what I was fighting for, I really feel as if I’m a weak and a useless person. For this reason, she told me that “every person in this world has a different thumb mark. God let this happened because he has a reason. This is to signify that we are all unique”. In the beginning, I got a little bit confused. How does this uniqueness she is talking about related to competitiveness? Upon her explanation, I was enlightened.

She explained to me that whenever I feel down, just remember that I’m someone unique who have my own contribution in this world. She really knows me well because during sad moments, I feel so insecure. I feel as if I’m incapable of doing great things. She told me that even though sometimes I fall, I still have my strengths. I should bear in mind that I have also done appreciative works to my beloved people like family, friend and etc. Perhaps we aren't as good looking, famous, rich and influential like other people but within the less characteristics of ours, we can still touch other’s lives and make a difference of our own.

It is just simply amazing. All these times, I was waiting for someone to say that to me. Those are the words that I was looking for to comfort me whenever I’m down. These are encouraging. From then on, whenever I feel like asking myself that “if I’m gone, would many people care?” I would just remember that I have a thumb mark of my own. I am someone unique and whatever things I have done are the things that I can do alone. I’m special. We are special.

I could say that competitiveness still dwells in me and I guess no one could ever take it away. But if ever I failed, I’d just try to remember what she said and appreciate all the good things I have done before the failure happened. But of course, I would always do everything and up to the extent of my abilities in order to get what I want. Lastly, I’ll also keep in mind that my uniqueness would make my mark in this world.

Hear yee

New Feature
I've added another feature here, the Blog counter. Hehe :)

Another sem.
Second to the last semester has finally started. This means that we'll be encountering new professors, new subjects. Unfortunately, this term we'll be starting to work on our first thesis (CAPROJ1 - I have to focus on this) and yet, I got a very strict professor in one of my subjects! Hehe. Looks like I have to triple my effort this term. I'll be graduating 6 months from now. Yahoo! :)

Tardiness
I promised to myself that I would never be late again on my first class. I do hope that I could continue on to class the roll call starts. Tardiness is my weakness. Really. I envy some of my friends who either stays in a condo/dorm or those homes are just 15 minutes away from college. I live farther than them. I need to prepare to go to college at least 2 hours before the first class starts. Binibigyan na ko ng pagkakataong mag-condo ng parents ko, pero pag iniisip ko na, parang ayaw ko na ituloy. Gusto ko pero ayaw ko, ang labo. There must be a reason behind this. Maybe because I think it would be hassle for me to adjust on everything especially in this hectic (10x) semester. Haha.

New Blog

From now on, I'll be using this account to publish my thoughts. I'll be transferring some of my entries from multiply here. :)
