HOW TO LIVE A LIFE

Decided not to go home in Angeles this weekend since I stayed the whole friday night downloading MP3 music in Limewire. Also, I need to finish some requiremnts for Grad School that I need to submit on Monday. The next two weeks will be a busy week for me. A lot of paper works must be finish before the trip to Iloilo and Guimaras.

I downloaded Pink's "Dear Mr. President" song. The lyrics is simple and very effective and I hope Mr.Bush will actually here her song.Its all about asking the President on what his plan actually for America. Its a courteos way to say "What are you doing!".. Want to create one also for GMA "Dear Mrs. President".

Love is a sickness.. a disease.. it is the breakdown of one's mind.. it is the sudden rush that occurs in your heart that leads to unusual behavior and irrational actions. It also decreases your reaction time and lowers your pace in a certain amount of degree. If this happens to you, then you've fallen for it, you're in love.-A.Corrales

Is this true :-)
Now i know why I always feel sick and vulnerable lately.

--Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. "Neil Gaiman"

Yup. I hate love!

Just arrived here in IC. Been out the whole night and I really enjoying the weekend so far. Planning to go home later in Pampanga and go back here in QC tomorrow since someone is inviting me for the UAAP cheering. Were still deciding on where will be going to stay. Im insisting that we must be on the UP side or else...:-)Goodluck to the UP Pep Squad!

Need to sleep now.

Filipino Night was a success. For more than a month of preparation, the well-planned event was as successful as intended. I just realized after the event that I have some hidden talents in event planning, stage concept, posters and video presentation. I am proud that a lot of people appreciated. But, the performers themselves are the main reason for the success of the event. We had performances by the UP Singing Ambassadors with their conductor and founder Ed Manguiat;the soultry Engkantada; the energetic Hip-Hop dancers applicants from the UP Street Dance; my favorites Kontra-Gapi group; and the beautiful Japanese Exchange Students dancing in Filipiniana dresses. Even the emcees are great. With the help and cooperation of all the Filipino students in IC, I can proudly say that the event is really a success.

Don't know if you have watched David Letterman's Show when he used Filipino-American for his top ten reasons, but this certainly show we are an emerging group in this diversed society to be featured in Dave's famous TV show..


Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn't Be a Filipino-American US President, By David Letterman

10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.

9. There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda Civics, 2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a BMW , and an MPV (My Pinoy Van).

8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.

7. There are too many dining rooms in the White House - where will they put the picture of the Last Supper?

6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden spoon and fork

5. Secret Service staff won't respond to "psst... psst" or 'hoy?.hoy?hoy?'

4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard.

3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.

2. State dinners do not allow "Take Home".

AND THE NUMBER 1 REASON WHY THERE COULDN'T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S.
PRESIDENT IS...

1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!

Di ko maintindihan kung ano mararamdaman ko pagkatapos mabasa ang friendster account ni Cris Anthony Mendez na diumanoy pumanaw dahil sa hazing. What a short life yun lang ang naunang sumagi sa aking isip. I can’t imagine on how his parents will accept the death of their son. Mga naputol na pangarap because of such senseless and barbaric act. I can’t imagine na hindi man lang niya naibigay ang pinakakahahangad na UP diploma na sana’y naibigay na regalo sa kanyang mga magulang. He is a student leader and that means that his fellows really trust and look up to him. The responsibility they gave to him is a proof that he don’t deserve this kind of brutal act. I have read some comments in peyups.com saying na kasalanan din daw niya kung bakit nangyari yun. I can’t help myself to understand how these fellow students can say this things. Sana eh di muna logic at utak ang gamitin natin. Lagyan muna natin ng puso at konsensiya. Yeah I know that being oppositionist is such a great thing in UP culture but what the UP community need now is to share our part in condemning the act.

Like any other students in UP, he is just an ordinary student na siguro ay nakasalamuha at minsan ay nakabangaang balikat sa araw araw ng aking pagtira at pagaaral sa loob ng UP campus. Di ko alam na minsan pla eh nakasabayan ko na siya kumain ng isaw o tapsilog sa Roddicks. Baka namn ay nagkatabi na kami sa Ikot jeep at sa pagsurf sa Internet sa shopping center. May posibilidad din na nakapagtanong na ako sa kanya pag ako ay naliligaw sa campus. UP is a great place to live and live life. It nourishes its community not just intellectually but the whole life itself. What is good about it is the diversity of culture and the open-mindedness of its people. Pero minsan nasagi sa aking isipan na baka sa sinasabing UP culture nangaling ang problemang ito. Di kaya dahil sa “culture” ay nagyari ang pangyayaring ito.?
--He died on a monday morning. I remember I also went home late and drunk that early morning as my journal says. I can't just imagine na may pinapatay na pla while walking around campus at 1am-2am in the morning.

"Adjectives are not enough"

Yun ang self-description na kanyang inilagay sa kanyang friendster account. I don't know him personally but the I really felt sad when I heard the news about his death. How many lives na kailangan pang matapos bago maaksyunan ang napakatagal na problema ng fraternity hazings. Fraternities are not a bad thing for me. If you will ask me if I will be recruited, I will certainly think about it and there is a possibility that I'll join one. Brotherhood and camaraderie are really important values that every frat members must remember. You don't hurt your brother. You care for them. You help him to live a better and a happy life. YOU DO NOT KILL YOUR BROTHER!

I hope that the UP administration will fully cooperate to the investigation. It’s not a good thing that the case will not be resolve as soon as possible. The UP community have nothing to celebrate next year for the well planned centennial celebration if this case will not be resolve this year. Also, the students must also have part in condemning this act of violence. We must make sure that this will be the last death cause by fraternity initiations. With the leadership of a fellow International Center resident and USC chair Shahana Abdulwahid, I hope she must lead the community in pressuring the administration and the community in ensuring the safety of the whole UP community.
