You know what?
FACT: You’re living in a society. Stop pushing yourself away from the norms.
Don’t be such a hypocrite now. Your words might be as fancy as those written in poetry books but it’ll never be as neat as those I’ve pertained to.
You know what?
You’re just like everyone else. The more you try to defy the norms of this society, the more you embrace the goodness of being...

Okay, I’m blogging right now because I’m really stressed out just looking at my new schedule for the upcoming term.
This is it. I’ve passed my Calculus 2 and going on to Calculus 3 and Physics 1. This is it. I’m taking Linear Algebra too. This is it, my biggest fallout yet.
This is it.
First of all, I don’t know if I should be flattered by my batchmates telling me...
Help me turn my night around, will you?
I have a problem. Well, actually it’s not a problem. I just like to perceive it as a problem.
Is it me or is there something to be suspicious about? Okay, will not be sharing or bring this up to anyone. A pledge to all the readers out there: I will neither vent about this through journals nor speak of this to anyone I know.
Let this matter cool down and eventually let this pass. I know my...

"..death is the destination we all share."
I promised myself I’d post this someday because this touched my heart badly and gave me the inspiration I needed at the time. So make way for Steve Jobs and his words of wisdom.
This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from...
In about six months
I’ll be turning 18. My friends, please welcome me to the world of legalization!!!! \:D/ Oh yeah, I know it’s a little too early to get hyped up about it, but maaaaan, the mere thought of being legal six months from now —— HEEAAAAVEEENNNN! \:D/
You know how teenagers love to celebrate their parties with formal get-up or throw some wild party and act like party animals?...

The future's so bright it's hurting my eyes.
The future’s so bright… It’s hurting my eyes.
The future’s so bright. It’s so bright it’s hurting your eyes. It’s so bright, you become too scared to see what’s in it. You try to get a glimpse but there’s just too much uncertainty that it scares the hell out of you. You try to peek through that little hole but you see nothing but white light.

One thing I love about my native Filipino language: It does not distinguish by gender.
In the English language, there is always a distinction between “he” or “she” when referring to the third person.
In Filipino, regardless of the gender/orientation, it is always “siya.”

Don't be heartless now
Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died...

Okay, first of all, I am really having a hard time with my Chemistry 2 and Integral Calculus.
Why?
Because my professor in Chemistry teaches exactly what’s in the book but gives out one hell of a quiz and my Integral Calculus professor is plainly an a-hole trying to impress students by teaching as fast as he can. I don’t know how he does it and for what reason, but it’s...

Sorry
I haven’t had the time to actually write a blog about how grateful I am to have those professors that passed me in my courses, haven’t I? I am so thankful to have my professors, especially those who’ve passed me. Really, thank you so much.
But of all the professors I’ve had, I would really like to thank my previous professor in Differential Calculus and apparently also my...

GET OVER IT, WILL YOU?
You know, I’ve been living for 17 years now and I can say I’ve learnt so much about life, about relationships and about how meaningful life is in summation.
I know all these things I’ve acquired will never be enough. I’ve also learnt that life is like a movie. The only difference there is between them is that in movies, you get to experience climax, falling action and...
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER FANS!!
The long wait is finally coming to an end!! Mark your calendars! September 19, 2011: Back-to-back episodes!! Oh yeaaah.
Craig Thomas (One of the creators of HIMYM):
You’re always baking. You’re never done. You never feel ready for any of it, but you have to take the leap anyway.

A decade after the attack
Today, Nat Geo featured a special episode on the 9/11 attack 10 years ago. They interviewed the head of state at the time of the attack: Mr. George W. Bush, Jr.
I can still remember watching the flash news in CNN. It was so tragic even at a young age, I felt so bad for them. I never knew how hard it was for their head of state to make such decisions for the benefit of the majority. He had to shut...

Deprived
You know, at this very moment, I am really pissed. Why? Simply because I have so much in my mind right now and I can’t stop thinking about them.
First of all, I am a grown up now, parents. I’m not that stupid. Okay fine, maybe not super grown up but come on, you taught me a lot and I’ve learned much of it. I know what should and what shouldn’t be. Trust —...

FOR FROSHIES:
Finally, first term’s coming to an end! I’m guessing most of the readers here are coming from 2011 Frosh community since they are the ones wanting to know more about our school.
Okay, here’s the thing: Don’t get too excited that the term’s coming to an end. It’s not something to be happy about. Why?
I’ll give you some reasons why:

Beginning to think
Are you still loving me for the right reasons? Are you sure that what you’re doing still justifies your words? Are you sure you’re still up for this? Are you sure you’re still the same person I have come to accept? Are you sure this is still worth the fight, the tears, the pain and the sacrifice? Are you sure this is really how you wanted to work things out?
Because quite...
