nstp rocks!

This picture was taken last Saturday (July 15, 2006)

Ok na Ok ang area kanina!!! I'm so proud sa mga nstp students ko. Bonus points sila sa akin!! This is the first REAL area I've been since long ago. And fun talaga.

There were 3 out of 5 nstp lang pero they were very good. I assigned the kinder and grade 1 kay ate gha-ga's house, the grade 2-4 kay ate inday's house, the grade 5-6 kay ate baby's house. One nstp per house. Barwin and lee-ann were also there to help. Kahit konti lang kami, the day was really good.And the manangs were so accomodating, parang sila pa nga yung supervisors namin sa mga kids!! Galing!

Sad part lang is walang k1b6 member na nandun (except barwin). I asked nga ger and jo (both cell leaders), what if wala nstp? And our faces were like sad and parang "oo nga what if wala nstp" look. Kasi in our cells, the only area-goers were the nstp and no members. Wala lang nakaka sad lang..

Although, may mga nag promise naman sa akin na mag area next time.. thanks also b6ers!

Special mention to b6 nstp: Andre, Migo, K-ly, Mabe and Laur!!!

looking for fun

Ang tagal ko nang hindi nakalabas and had fun time. Ever since nag class, hindi na yata ako nakapag movie, videoke o kahit pumunta man lang sa eastwood. Ang weird lang kasi dati every week ako lumalabas. The last time I watched a movie was the day before class begun- kasama ko pa noon si nescy, justin and aikka watched The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Uuntil now, hindi pa nga ako nakapag superman. I can't wait to go out, but not now cguro kasi ang daming research and meetings and delibs. Can't wait to go out once again.

looking forward

I am happy once again! I do still have to pass 3 thesis this sem, I still am an officer of two most active organizations, I still am loveless (hehehe). In short I am still busy and stressed, but hey I am happy. I am looking forward for so many things this sem. Last Monday, Lee-ann and I called for an URGENT mtg with the cell. We had it at CMO Prayer Room at the MVP (i think we were the first people to use that prayer room). Anyway, it was a small but intimate prayer room. The outcome of the meeting was nice and it gave me a new hope for the cell. For one thing, there were 8 of us who attended the mtg. Some couldn't attend because of class or other valid reasons. So basically, pinagsabihan ko sila in a nice and mild way about our attendance and other issues. Mukhang positive naman yung mga responses nila, the problem lang is may magbabago ba? Nevertheless, I see hope and that is a good sign.
That afternoon also, I attended the eb prayer for the first time this school year. I had an important mtg that time, but had to choose prayer because that is what I feel I need most that day. The prayer was ok naman. Medyo may ma drama lang na scene na naalala ko ang mga Pinoy Romantic Movies (hehehe). Anyway, that prayer proved to be a catalyst of change for the events that followed.
That night, I had a talk with somebody (kunyari di niyo kilala). It was a very nice talk naman. I think naman it turned out well... and I am not gonna spill it here in full details. We just laughed most of the time. Buti na lang no cheesy phrases came out of our mouths.. Everyday, you learn something and I did.

Looking forward for a great sem with good grades, inspired cellmates, active orgs and strong relationships.

frustration

Frustration. Worried. That is how I feel today and for the past days din. Basically it is about my cell K1B6 and my academic life. Una, acads! Ang tanga ko daw na pinagsabay kong kunin yung mga mahihirap na subjects! How true! Aside from the heavy Theo, Philo and Histo, My 3 Com classes are :very heavy ang work load and requires thinking talaga. Pinagsabay ko ba naman ang Investigative Journalism, Broadcast Journalism at Com Thesis and Defense! All these subjects require time, money and a LOT of effort. Sabay sabay din ang mga deadlines nila. And of course, meron din akong class na Historical Methodology (pangalan pa lang heavy na).

Pangalawa, my cell. Just this morning, all cells had their second area, but us. Lee-ann and I decided not to push-through with the area kasi nga wala rin naman pupunta. So nag IC-lunch na lang kami ni Lee-ann and talked about our cell and a little about our committee- sec. Nakaka frustrate and very disappointing ang mga nangyayari sa cell. Sabi nga namin ni Lee-ann, what are we here for sa position na ito if wala naman pala kaming members?... And to think technically, kami yung may pinakamaraming members.. The problem is not the decline of attendance but in the first place there was no 'attendance' at all. Sa Monday nga I will cancel my Atsca shift sa booth manning and we will have our URGENT meeting. Doon na talaga namin pag-usapan lahat. Sana lang may pumunta!

Syempre, marami pa akong things na worried at frustrated about. Relationships with people, isa pa yan. As with almost everyone I met na senior na single, yan ang pinag-uusapan. Well I guess being almost 21 na wala pa in a relationship, medyo nakaka pressure. But no, I only go for the one I truly have feelings for and not because of the need to have one. On a side note, I almost just want to be friends with everyone na. Sometimes it is hard na hindi ka ok with all people. The problem lang is makikipag-usap ba?

Oh well, despite all these. Life is still beautiful! The optimistic in me always works.
