As I am checking some old emails, I got across to this forwarded email from last 2 years ago...I think it is still kinda fitting in light of the recent political instability in our country. The following is the summary of the book "12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country " by Alexander Lacson published lat 2006..

1) Follow traffic rules. Follow the law.
2) Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.
3) Don’t buy smuggled goods. Buy local. Buy Filipino.(Or, if you read the book, he suggests: 50-50).
4) When you talk to others, especially foreigners speak positively about us and our country.
5) Respect your traffic officer, policeman and soldier.
6) Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve.
7) Support your church. During elections, do your solemn duty.
9) Pay your employees well.
10) Pay your taxes.
11) Adopt a scholar or a poor child.
12) Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and love our country.

These are the 12 simple things every Filipino can do to help our country. At first , they seem so simple. But when you study them more closely, they are difficult to do. But all of us, if we are just willing to be together..i believe that we can do them. Its better to do our share instead of asking these politicos to be good leaders in which I think is very impossible nowadays..

I’m so stressed out for the past 3 days. An average of 4 hours of sleep. Exams. Submissions. IC preparations. Buti na lang may pampaalis ako ng stress for the past days. Dinner..grocery..a quick meet up..and just hanging out with YOU really make it easier for me to get by with a lot of anxiety I’m experiencing for the past days.

I’m thinking of buying a new laptop that I can use in office or in the dorm. I’m tired of bringing my Dell laptop every day at work and back at the dorm. But with my recent purchases of gadgets and a lot of bills that I need to pay, I really don’t know if I can buy that extra computer soon.

Tonight will be the International Center’s annual International Night that will showcase different cultural presentations from the different communities in the IC. Last night, the Korean and African movie night was quite a success but unfortunately, I need to attend a lot of meetings and working meetings for the preparations for the International night.

International Week 08

3 comments | Wednesday, February 20, 2008

It’s the first day of the International Week celebration in our dorm and a lot of activities were lined-up. To start the week-long festivity, a parade and the annual raising of different flags was held in Quezon Hall and in the UP International Center’s grounds. A brunch was prepared to all the participants and guests. A slight problem happened when the Vietnamese National Anthem’s CD is somewhat missing. But in general, the event was a successful one. The second event was held last night. It’s a forum about the Human Rights violation in the Philippines specifically in Cagayan Valley region. Were expecting Sen. Jamby Madrigal as our guest speaker but she didn’t arrived. (Dahil siguro mainit sya sa news ths past days).Nonetheless, the forum was so informative wherein human rights victims shared their experiences to the listeners and a reaction was given at the end by Representative Satur Ocampo of Bayan Muna partylist.

Today’s event is the Food Festival wherein foods and products of different communities will be showcased in I.C.’s lobby. Communities include the Korean, Japanese, Filipino, South East Asian, European, Americas, Africans, Middle Eastern. Personally, I’m looking forward to the Japanese sushi and the Korean kimchi and bulgogi.

Etc...

It’s been exactly a month since my last post. Decided not to post something since some of my students are teasing me when they discovered the other side of their “not-so-friendly” teacher. They are very curious about some characters from my old poems (that Maria Clara..ehhe); How ‘emo’ am I sometimes; and they are surprise when they read about the type of music I want. SO the following are some of the most important events for the past month.
--
Acquired some new gadgets. Got an Apple iPhone as a replacement for my old Nokia 6020 and a Samsung digital camera while waiting for my Pentax Dlsr from Singapore to come.
Some of the things I like with my new phone are the stylish screen, flawless running of Applications, iPod and Phone combined, touch interface works well and the email and web browsing are very simple. While some cons are the following: lack of text forwarding feature (since most of us here in the Philippines use the SMS messaging), Poor camera specs (so I really need a nice camera) and no video recording.
I am really excited to have my own Dslr. Want to try photography this summer since I have a 2-month break. Want to use this time to learn the skill and spend the summer in a productive way. Its too bad that my officemate and his husband's application for PhD in Edinburgh were approved so definitely she will be on leave for the coming school year. Supposedly, they are planning that they will teach me the basics of photography when my camera arrives.

Very busy with the renovation and preparation of the upcoming International Night in the dorm next week. We allotted 102,000 for the renovation of the TV room and IC lobby from the Internet Committee’s fund. Next week's event includes the Human Rights forum, parade, movie showing from different countries and the International night on friday.
--
Just finished my reports for my Graduate School classes. Now waiting for the coming hell week this March.
--
Been to different places here in Manila…Had lunch in that famous smelly Estero in Ongpin. Been to Divisoria the whole day after a Malate gimik nyt(imagine how tired and exhausted am I ehehe..)and some important landmarks here in manila..It’s like going back to my elementary days wherein my most and unforgettable times are the Educational Trips.:-)
--
My best UP Fair so far.
