11:00 AM
It was a hell day for me this friday since I'm accomplishing a lot of errands while some of my colleagues are already finished with the requirements for this quarter. Today is the start of Pisay Fair and all the students and teachers are in the fairgrounds while me was still inside the office working in front of the PC...I still have 5 hrs to meet the deadline else I will pay some amount of money for being late in submitting my gradesheets..

11:30 AM
Christian from LST came and I'm the only person in the E-Based implementing team that is available to accompany him in the MIS office so I'm now thinking if how would i finish my grades in the next few hours if more work is continually adding on my list..

12:00 AM
Took my lunch with some teachers in the fairgrounds. Seems that students are enjoying the fair so far. Korean BBQ for lunch!:-)

1:00 PM
At last, I finished my grades in the computer. My problem now is to double check the entries and my formulas and transfer the final grades to the grade sheets. Printer sucks. Luckily, colleague's hand's made it work.

2:00 PM
Went in the Registrar's Office to get the original gradesheets so I can write the final grades and submit it on time. Met some students upstairs and sadly, im too KJ(kill joy)this time and hindi nila ako makulit sa kakulitan nila..:-)

3:00 PM
Went to my room in the dormitory to relax and take a 5 minute nap..

3:10 PM
Battle of the Geeks started but I'm still inside the office.

3:15 PM
Submitted my grades to the CISD....at last!

3:30 PM
Went ot SM with Mike, Sir Jon, Mam Gene, Mr Tafaleng and Jason to buy some tickets for the redemption booth in the fair;Bought a whiteboard marker ink for my class next week; While inside the car, we sorted out the java projects of Mike's class. He's not yet finish with his grade too..:-)

4:00 PM
I'm thinking if I will go home today in Angeles or stay here in for the concert tomorrow. It will be streessful if I will go home today because of the expected heavy traffic in Angeles area since its the annual Tigtigan, Terakan keng Dalan (Street Party for 3 days). Also I really want to watch the UpDharmaDown and Radioactive Sago Project tomorrow here in school. I still have the whole night of deciding whether to go home or not..Anyone..Help me decide! :-)

4:10 PM
Students are excited for the next event, the Project Runway.

Just finished my violin class this morning. For the last 2 weeks that I was absent for my violin class, almost all the things my teacher taught have been erased in my mind. I am back to the basics now and hopefully I will have the time for practice for the coming days.

I went straight to the office after my class to finish some errands. Even though, it’s a public holiday today some of my colleagues and students are inside the school to finished all the requirements before the fair day this weekend. Students must be thankful since I’m in a good mood this afternoon while making/solving their 2nd quarter grades! :-)

Excited to go home this weekend. I really want to relax in Angeles since it will be a busy week for us next week. Submission of requirements, Pisay Fair and others. These are the things I want to do this weekend:
1. Buy some audio CD's
2. I will eat a lot (sisig, shawarma or pizza)
3. Watch Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away that my brother downloaded in our PC
4. Will go to my former school.
5. Roam around Angeles City.
6. Write a poem

Hope I will have a great weekend ahead! Really proud to be an Angeleño since many improvement were done in the city. Business and leisure is now booming around Clark Air Base. In the picture is the new Bayanihan Park in Angeles City where they transferred the Giant Landmark to the center of the park. I still remember a certain column that I have written during my college days where I'm suggesting to the City government to develop the city's parks and landmarks like what they did in Manila. Progress is not an obstacle in restoring different landmarks. I'm reallly hoping that they continue thses sensible projects in the future.

Just want to relax last night so I decided to walk in U.P. after working the whole day in school. It just monday but I really feel exhausted with the workload I have for the past days. I met 2 of my classmates in my M.A program in UP-Educ and asked me if I will enroll next semester since I'm now staying here in M.Manila. I'm not yet decided if will go back next semester eventhough I already submitted my application for re-admission to our college secretary for not filing LOA last semester. As I am walking around the campus, I notice some acacia trees uprooted by the typhoon last few weeks ago. Hope that some trees will be planted in place of the one destroyed by typhoon Milenyo. After 3 rounds of walking around the University oval, I proceeded to Shopping Center to eat my dinner and then went to Philcoa to get my clean clothes in the laundry shop. (What a boring life I have)

Bakit ngayon nabigyan ng lakas ng loob ay ngayon pa naramdaman ang panhihina ng aking pagkatao. Ang hangad na sumaya at lumigaya ay napalitan lamang na pagkahiya at paghuhusga sa sarili na ilang dekada na iningatan at inayusan. Pinilit ko ang aking sarili na makisabay sa dinadaanan ng karamihan. Ngunit sa pag aakalang yaon ang karapat-dapat at kung doon liligaya, iyon pa ang pinaka di-tamang pagapasyang aking pinag pasyahan makalipas ang maraming taon dito sa mundong ibabaw. Dahil nga ba unang pagkakataon lamang iyon kaya’t hindi naging ayon ito sa aking pinangarap at pinaghandaan.? Paano kung sa susunod ay lalo pang mabigo ang kahihinatnan ng aking pagtatangka? Ganito nga ba ang buhay? Isang buhay na dapat makisaksi, makibahagi, makiramdam at mabigo. Sana naman ay magtagumpay ako sa mga susunod na pakikibaka sa aking mga hinahangad. Alam ko na sa huli ay ako’y liligaya din pagkatapos na ilang pagkakamali sa buhay. Ito nga ang buhay, a life that is full of experiences that we need to experience throughout our lifetime, either an experience that will make u smile or cry at the end. Sa mga susunod na araw, ako’y lalakbay muli. Ano ang aking gagawin sa pagkakataong ito? Ako nga ba’y dapat makisabay sa karamihan o maghahanap ng sariling daan upang ako’y makarating sa minimithi kung kaligayahan. Bahala na, at least sa banding huli na masasabi ko sa aking sarili na naramdaman ko ang paano mabuhay.

I had a nice time last nyt! :-) Sometimes..Its better to take risks..But i did'nt enjoyed as what i expected. :-( Something is wrong with me, I think. Or I should think twice next time if I'll do it again.

Just arrived from U.P. campus this afternoon for my application for re-admission in the graduate program in U.P. Unfortunately, a the former division chair had retired and a new one was installed starting last semester. Luckily, the new division chair, Dr. Jeremias Que, is in U.P. this afternoon and he easily signed and endorsed my application.

Tomorrow will ne be a busy day for us teachers and students in Pisay after the Periodic exams ended today. The third year students will have their weekend retreat in Tagaytay but sadly, I can't come since i do have a lot of errands to accomplish tomorrow. Instead, I agreed to my colleague to join them in the First Year Field Trip in Laguna in the afternoon. I also have to do a lot of work for the E-based project tomorrow morning. Training of teachers and online enrollment of the students are just few of the task i must successfully accomplish in the tomorrow.

Need to relax tonight. My plan...After going to church, I will eat a lot and have a good night for tomorrow. :-)

Two students from the FilJourn elective have asked me for an interview yesterday for a feature article about the new teachers in Pisay. They asked some questions about me, my interests, family and educational background. I almost all of their questions were answered except for this one: What is your motto in life? Honestly, I don’t have one ,do I really need to answer that?, as I told them . They’re insisting that I should give one and they even told me that all the teachers they interviewed had given at one. They even said that one teacher had such a long motto in life.

So what is really my motto in life? For me, a specific phrase or group of words are not enough to be my motto. I do have a different goals , that changes my motto or principle everyday.

At last, the Internet connection is back and it’s been 5 days since I last accessed my email, blog and all the online stuff I usually check everyday.

Last Tuesday, I went to U.P. Film Institute for the Eiga Sai Japanese Film Festival. I arrived there around 5:30 pm and luckily, I didn’t failed to watch the second movie even though it was originally scheduled at 5pm. The movie is entitled Dora Heita”. The movie is about Koheita, a Samurai sent to clean up a corrupt, crime ridden town. But the problem is that he himself has a reputation for being lax and corrupt. Latterly, Koheita lure the bad guys by doing some funny and tricky things and eliminate them all in the end. It’s a simple movie wherein you can really be of interests with Japanese way of life.

Another movie was entitled Bright Future directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa (really good director from Japan). The movie is about the real friendship of two young street teenagers in Tokyo. Their bond is based on uncotrollable rage and the strange jellyfish that they keep as a pet. The central theme of the movie is that anyone can changed even how bad you are before. Also, the movie also tackles scientifically since the story focuses with the jellyfish(how a jellyfish can survive and reproduce in fresh water and how dangerous they can be)
