Si Manong Guard

Nag-apply ako sa UST kanina.

Habang kinukuha ko yung collateral expired ID ko:

Manong: Dito ka na mag-aaral niyan!
Ako: Hindi pa po. Exam palang po.
Manong: Sure na yan. Matatalino mga taga-SLU eh!

Wehehehehehehe! Iba ka manong, panalo! :)

THIS!

There are things that people need to be proud of. Anddddd so, this is what I am currently proud of. I may have difficulties along the way but I was able graduate with an honor. I will never forget this chapter of my life. I will definitely miss college days. But, I will keep moving forward. Another chapter of my life awaits me. So, there. Love, Happiness && Success :)

Through all these years, I have never been expressive on how thankful I am for the love, support and encouragement I received from the amazing people in my life. This is my opportunity to appreciate and to give my thank you - sssss to my family (mama,daddy,allen,aj), the Videz' family (dhang,lloyd,grae) and to my big circle of friends (these are just a few : vhin,sam,jody,carlo,mai,lei,sid,stef,lance,yabz) :) And to my Stan ♥, cheers to our more adventures!

PS: In all my accounts, I have posted something like this. I promise, this is the last. Hihi

Save the 182 trees!

Hindi naman talaga ako masalita tungkol sa mga nangyayari sa aking paligid. Pero ito na marahil ang oportunidad ko na ilabas ang aking mga naiisip at saloobin.

P.S. Halos lahat ng mababasa dito ay sariling opinyon ko lamang.

Ilang buwan na ang lumipas nung lumabas ang balita na magpapatayo ang SM Baguio ng isang parking lot building sa tabi mismo ng nasabing mall. Kaakibat nito ang pagpuputol ng 182 pine trees para mabigyan ng lugar ang gusaling ipapatayo.

Maraming ng kumontra sa gustong ipagawa ng SM. Naalala ko nung Panagbenga Festival :Session in Bloom, may isang grupo na nagpapapirma ng isang petisyon sa mga tao na huwag ituloy ng SM ang pagputol sa maraming puno. (Isa ako sa mga pumirma doon.)

Akala ko hindi na itutuloy ito. Pero sa dumaan sa 2 araw, sinimulan na ng SM ang pagpuputol. Nung huli kong malaman 12 na ang mga naputol ng mga puno. Dahil dito, naglabas na ng TEPO ang gibyerno para itigil na muna sa loob 72 oras ang ginagawa ng SM. Subalit, sa kasamang palad, pinagpatuloy ito. Ayon sa SM hindi daw nila agad nakuha ang kopya ng TEPO.

Ganito ang kanilang ginagawa :|

Nakakapangilabot at nakakalungkot makita sa balita ang unti-unting bumabagsak ang mga puno.

Naalala ko yung isang guro ko sa Socio5c, sabi niya, dati daw kapag paakyat ka palang ng Baguio maamoy mo na yung amoy ng mga pine trees. Nung nagaaral pa daw siya, sobrang lamig daw kaya kailangan pa niyang magsuot ng boots, sweater at jacket pati gloves. Pero sa mga panahoong ngayon, naawala na ang mga ganun. Hindi na kasing lamig gaya ng dati. Yung mga pine trees, unti-unting nawawala at nagiging mga malalaking gusali.

Sayang. Tuluyan ng nawawala ang ganda ng Baguio. :(

Para sa akin, hindi na kailangan ng SM na gumawa ng parking lot building dahil hindi naman ito makakatulong sa turismo o pati sa kalikasan. Hindi naman pupunta ang mga tao para makita ang parking lot building kundi para madama nila ang malamig na panahon at iba ng tanawin. 

Sa mga nagsasabi na hyprocrite o ironic na magpoprotesta ang mga tao kontra sa SM pero kumakain o namamasyal naman sila dito pagkatapos, ang akin lang, may mga pangangailangan na pwedeng makita at mabili sa SM lamang. Ang pinoprotesta ng mga tao ay ang mga namumuno at nagpapalakad sa SM at hindi ang mga tindahan na nangungupahan at angbabayad sa nasabing mall. Oo, malaki ang natutulong ng SM at sa mga tao pero hindi ibig sabihin nito na pwede at may karapatan ang SM na sirain pati ang kalikasan. Hindi ibig sabihin na ang kapalit ay ang pagpuputol ng 182 pine trees na naging simbolo na ng Baguio.

Dun naman sa iba na nagsasabing bakit nung unang pinapatayo pa lang ang SM ay hindi nagprotesta ang mga tao, ang masasabi ko lang, dahil noon salat pa sa pine trees ang Baguio at kailangan nito ang isang komersyo na tutulong sa pagunlad ng siyudad. Ngayon, dahil sa climate change at malaking pagkukulang na sa mga puno, gumagawa na ng hakbang ang mga tao para mapangalagaan na ang kalikasan.

Unang araw ng pagpuputol ng SM, sumugod ang mga raliyista. Tinakpan gamit ang mga panharang ng kahoy  ang buong SM.

"PUT TREES KA nga SM!"

Itigil na sana ito! Baguio City is known as the City of Pines, hindi naman as a City with a huge-SM-parking-lot-building!!!

Graduating in the year which everyone thinks it is the end of the world.

I just want to share my graduation pictures. :)


Another chapter of my life is about to end. But, this one will not be counted to those which bought tears and sadness. This one will be one of the greatest things that (will) happen/ed to me. After delaying for another year (because of transferring to another school), I am about to graduate. This will bring happiness to my family especially to my mom.


So here.

ENJOY WATCHING! :)

Failed but a Worthy Suprise!

So, I planned a surprise for my boyfriend for his 20th birthday. (Yeah, I'm a year older.)

I texted my friend who is his classmate, fortunately, to help me with the simple surprise. She agreed without considering any second thoughts. -Thanks BBgarl, Laaaabbyoooow! ♥

Bought cake at around 9am and went straight to school. I met the friend outside the laboratory so we could prepare the cake -- light the candle. It was difficult on my part to do that thing since I don't know how to use a match. Boo me! Because we took so much time for lighting up the candle; boyfriend went out to go to the comfort room. And yeeeessss, he saw the cake. TAN-TA-NA-NAN-TA-NAAAAAAN! Fail! Since it is his birthday and so he saw my friend with the cake-not-yet-lighted-up and hearing my oh-so-loud-voice, definitely he knew it!

Anyway, we ran inside the comfort room to at least "hide". Here's a picture of yours truly with the cake 

which is already lighted. :D

I don't know why I made this face. >.<

Still, I decided to continue the surprise by going into his group's cubicle, holding the cake and asking him to blow the candle. :) 

So, there's boyfriend and never mind what I am wearing. :P

Even if my surprise did not go well the way I expected it, I had fun. We had fun. And no matter what, I believe that I made his birthday happy and special.

By the way, boyfriend's name is KRISTHAN VITTORIO GARCIA SABADO celebrating his birthday during September 23rd.

Awesome 21st birthday!

August 19, 2011. My 21st birthday. Yeah, I'm old. (Hahaha!)

Wasn't able to really celebrate by birthday because I have a visit in La Union and I need to perform my task as a practicumer. Spent my almost whole day with my group mates (Pugo Rangers) and Sir Jemai. Also, with my lovable students.

I can't access the photos so I will just insert those *here* next time.

Got back in Baguio at around 4:30pm. I was very tired but I promised to meet my friends after my visit. We went to a cafe and enjoyed a frappe. And HE was there, but as soon as he arrived, I need to leave and meet my family. (Andddd yes, I move from one place to another.) Ohh. and I would like to thank him for the nth time for giving me my favorite chocolate. :)

 August 20 was set to be the birthday celebration with friends. Ate Sam allowed us to stay in their house.(Thanksssss!) It was fun! It's good to be around good friends.

I love these people ♥

HAPPINESS AT 21! :)
