The trek back to THE VARSITARIAN and some snippets of the filipino culture

Any thomasian know The Varsitarian, I think it's the oldest org paper in the Philippines. What struck me in the front pages though is VATICAN CONFIRMS DELA ROSA UST’s 95th rector to be installed June 10 Funny because I didn't know that aside from The Pope, The Saints and all, The Vatican has a say to U.S.T`s rector. I miss Santo Tomas, the smell of grass in the morning field, the adrenaline in the gym, The Ala Starbucks in P noval and that string of joints in the parameters of that heart of espana. Almers, Cocoys, Ryan J gym, Goldilocks, Pizzahut, Lopez, and that fried chicken place which I forgot. I left Santo Tomas NOT in a heart beat. I had to go through widthrawals because I had an addiction to football at that time. I smell the grass, I drop my bags and drop my course and play. We always had a saying, "Sagabal ang Pag aaral sa Football". How I regret it now. I didnt know anything then so.. The Varsitarian was the first paper I have ever seen my name on. Hahahaha...

BALER rendezvous

The pictures were taken from a weekend trip in Baler Aurora, Incase you don't know where the heck that is, Good news, We did not know too where on earth it was. All we knew was we got off our house went to Megamall and bought a map in national bookstore. After that we opened the map of Luzon and picked a destination. The rest was adventure. And I was so thanking God giving the ability for man to come up with a thing called GPRS. I just researched using my phone till we got to where we are going. I admit it was impulsive. But the place was nice. I am not teaching you to get off unannounced because it placates danger. But just incase you plan on going to Baler, Aurora you may have to consider these factoids in tow. 1.) A plane, Sea Air its called flies there Monday and Friday 3:00 PM and 3:50 PM respectively. ONLY 2.) If you choose to travel by land, it will take you 8 hours via Genesis. For more info just walk along cubao just like what we did and ask the diff buss stations to point...

OH DID I TELL YOU I WENT ON A TRIP OUT TO BALER?

Her name is Polly

Image
I got this cat accidentally when He was limping and ailing one saturday night. We initially thought the cat is a girl.Decided to take him home and feed him. After beig skinny and all, the rest is history. He was named after a friend of mine who hates cats. Well I love them. My fat cat just recently had a dog friend named Bo, a black lab with an expressionless face who currently has dandruff. Likes to: Lie around belly up and pester Bo by driving the poor dog to chase him in the slimmest corners of the room. I forgot to mention her name is Polly.

A month and a half of Swimming Lessons

Image
I have been going through a routine every Monday morning. Gym and swim. I have been making a connection with water for a month and a half. I was just fascinated by water but not being able to swim on it for years. I decided as part of my growing list, I will be learning how to swim this year. I have always been panic stricken in water, being able to lap it out with my eyes closed and not breathing I manage to move an inch or two, but that was just about it. Not until recently that I manage to do half a pool with eyes closed to finally being able to float with my head popping out and finally doing laps back and forth. I never imagined that I would be able to, but I think practice will make me a natural. I was just so amazed that I am getting closer to say "I can Swim". It felt so good that one insecurity died by just sheer will power and TRUST. I`m gonna be good at it.

Blog Hopping, Happening

I read migs p`s blog...Don`t be frustrated neither of us is a writer. Blogs are really for frustrated writers or writing addicts. See I tell you what? I am not the best writer, in the office I am laughed at because I write bad essays. I cant even write my bio, you know thats my dream. But I mean who cares I`m gonna write anyway. We don t have to burn our noses n thinking about the next story were going to put in our blog because it ain't going to work that way. Blogging usually is random thoughts . _____ paulo O`s blog is coolness, best part, reload and who ala! it`s the matrix. _____ 2 hours of sleep, too excited for a sunday rest. Oh well. I am getting ready for a report for the office and a paper for lockeroo. By the way 05 is the deadline, a self imposed deadline that I need to fulfill. It`s nice to be "busy" it has been a long while since this darn brain worked. It got frozen in the call center industry...konti na lang lalambot na. Hurray.

Warren Buffet: The safest investor alive.

Currently listening to: Love is Gonna Save Us - Benny Benassi HE IS THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD AND I AM NOT. I GOT MYSELF SOME QUOTE FOR THE DAY FROM THE RICHEST MAN NEXT TO BILL GATES. I just find it funny how he becomes the safest investor alive.. even in answering questions. INVESTMENT: US ELECTIONS INVESTOR : BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY Rating: Wide Moat Warren Buffet on being a political bigamist: Way before they both filed, I told Hillary that I would support her if she ran, and I told Barack I would support him if he ran. So I am now a political bigamist. But I feel either would be great. And actually, I feel that if a Republican wins, John McCain would be the one I would prefer. I think we've got three unusually good candidates this time. - Fortune Magazine, What Warren thinks...April 14, 2008: 10:23 AM EDT
