Kanina pagdating ko sa school, ewan ko ba kung bakit wala ako sa tamang mood. Para ngang ang weird ko kasi wala talaga akong gustong pansinin sa mga kaibigan ko (sama ko noh!) Ewan ko ba.. Sabi nga ni Ryan, "tulig" daw ako ngayon. Actually, d ko alam ibig sabihin non but I know it's something to do with my mood. After naman nung second class ko kanina, balik normal na ako! Then habang nagdi-discuss naman yung prof namin sa Software Research, bigla akong napaisip kung babalik ba kami dun sa dati naming topic which is Hairstyle Viewer or stick to our second topic which is File Encryption (using second level language). Nahihirapan kasi kaming maghanap ng related literature and studies for File Encryption. Sa Hairstyle Viewer naman, aside from the fact na existing na sya sa library namin, marami din kaming makukuhang sources sa library ng Adamson University. We have to come up with our decision now para alam namin kung pupunta pa ba kaming National Library tomorrow. As of this writing, medyo naguguluhan pa rin ako. I just hope na sana maliwanagan na ako before the day ends...

Rules for surviving the game of love
- Do not fall in love every time you fall in bed.
...Learn to detach emotionally.
Sex does not equal commitment. - Do not revolve your entire life around him/her.
...Addiction is bad for your health! - Do not cling, act needy or demand.
...Doormats are for your feet, not your heart. - It's OK to say NO!
- Stop talking so much. NEVER reveal everything.
- Do not grill them or their friends for information.
- Master the art of LISTENING.
- Treat him/her as you would your best friend.
- Friendship creates long term love and comes before sex.
- FORGET about fixing your partner. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
- Your choice of partner is a reflection of who you are and who you are not!
- NEVER read their journal or go through their paperwork.
...If you have no trust, you have no relationship. - Allow space and freedom between you.
DO NOT always be available. - Calling frequently is a turn off and signals insecurity, neediness
and control. - Open your eyes to lies and cheating, OR... close them,justify the bad behavior, and live with the consequences
- Little or no eye contact? Start walking. They won'teven notice your gone.
- Anyone preoccupied with their physical appearance and dress, usually have very little or nothing to offer from within.
...Look beyond the physical! - Never compromise your values.
If you OVER give, you will lose your lover and hisrespect.
DO NOT LOSE YOUR IDENTITY. - December/May relationships are great. However, seasons changeand the
May lover will sooner or later, hear the call of Spring. - If someone REALLY wants to be with you, they will be.
- Sleeping with a married man? Don't count on him divorcing anytime soon.
- State your personal rules in the very beginning or expect them to be broken.
- If they ask to be just friends, be just that and look elsewhere for a love partner.
- If someone wants to really be with you, they will. If they keep giving reasons for not calling or say they are extremely busy, GET THE HINT, leave them alone.
- Don't ever give up your friends for him/her.

Habang May Buhay
Ang iyong mga ngiti, haplos, yakap at pagmamahal pati ang lahat ng alaala mo ang tanging baon ko sa aking paroroonan, at kung bibigyan pa ako ng isa pang pagkakataon na mabuhay muli, ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin at habang buhay na mamahalin.
Salamat sa magagandang alaala na ipababaon mo sa akin, ang tanging maiiwan ko lamang sa'yo ay ang salitang MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA, hindi lamang HABANG MAY BUHAY maging hanggang sa KABILANG BUHAY...
This letter was really touching.. Based from the movie A Walk To Remember..
Confused
Friend,
Nagkausap kami last night. Kala ko tuluyan na nya akong nakalimutan. I was really happy upon hearing his voice. Ang dami kong naalala... Kung pano nya ako pinapatawa nung kami pa; kung pano nya ako pinasaya nung nalaman ko na iniisip pala nya ako sa mga gagawin nya gaya na lang nung sinabi nya sakin na "Kanina habang nagda-drive ako, may kotseng singit talaga ng singit. D ko na lang pinatulan dahil naisip kita"; kung pano nya ako inalagaan; kung pano nya pinararamdam sakin na mahal nya talaga ako. Nakakatuwa dahil after 4 years, andyan pa rin sya for me. There was a time pa nga we were talking to each other, and I told him na mahal ko pa rin sya. I know its wrong for me to say that. Pero nagpapakatotoo lang ako sa nararamdaman ko for him. Sabi nya sakin, mahal pa rin daw nya ako. That time, naramdaman ko yon. But I must admit it, hindi sa lahat ng panahon nararamdaman ko na mahal nya ako. May mga pagkakataon na naguguluhan ako kung mahal ba nya talaga ako o nasabi nya lang yun just to make me feel better. D ko talaga alam friend kung ano ba talaga yung nararamdaman nya para sakin...yung totoong nararamdaman nya..
Mahirap pala talagang magmahal noh! Lalo sa taong d ka nakakasiguro kung mahal ka ba talaga. Minsan tuloy kailangan mo na lang isipin na mahal ka nya talaga whether its true or not para lang maging masaya ka. Kaso hindi dapat palaging ganon kasi mahirap din umasa. Hay, pag-ibig nga naman!
Blogging Personality
The Daily Grinder
I love blogging because it's like therapy. I can write about anything and everything that happens to me - from the food I ate to what I was doing when I heard the latest 'breaking news'. Being able to communicate with my friends (online and/or real life) through my blog is important to me.

Thank God its Friday!
Thank God its Friday!! Makakatulog na naman ako ng maayos without having a hard time waking up at 4:30 in the morning. Anyway, kanina nagkaron kami ng meeting (CCS Student Council). The first thing we do? Ayusin yung conflict between the Kalayaan and the Independiente Party. Nagkaron kasi ng conflict before pa nung election. I don't wanna talk about the issues involved here. What I want is to resolve the conflict para naman maging maayos yung samahan namin sa council. So sabi ko sa president namin na kakausapin ko na lang yung other party involved para malaman din namin yung side nila. After talking to Clyde (from the Kalayaan and now our 1st Vice President), nalaman ko yung side nya at naintindihan ko naman sya. Then kanina, sa meeting, we try to resolve na yung confict. D ko sure kung tapos na nga pero hopefully okey na.
Ito nga pala yung schedule namin (Student Council) for next week:
- July 26 - At exactly 9:45 am there will be an assembly for the rehearsal of the Induction of Officers at the JPL Auditorium
- July 27 - At 11:30 am, lunch at the Le Cafe of the Council President, Organization President and Advisers. (Ang daya nga kasi d kami kasama! Sarap pa naman ng food sa Le Cafe..) At 1:00 pm Assembly time for the Induction of Officers at the JPL Auditorium.
- July 28 - Council Meeting with Mr. Yap and with the new Council Adviser. Platforms and activities for the 1st semester will be discussed.
- July 29 - Council and Lycos Officers Meeting
Oh my God, ngayon ko lang na-realize, hectic pala sked ko for next week. Then kailangan pa naming gumawa ng Chapter 2 ng Thesis namin. Good thing, katatapos lang ng prelim exams.. At least nakabawas ng pagod at iisipin.
I'm addicted to blogging na yata. D na nga ako nagloload sa cellphone ko para makaipon lang ng internet card. Natutuwa kasi ako eh lalo na kapag may nagko-comment and yung nagsusulat sa tagboard. Sana madami akong ma-meet na friends here... Thanks nga pala sa lahat ng bumibisita sa blog ko! I really appreciate it! THANKS A LOT!

Prank Caller
K: Hello, sino 'to?
M: Hi! musta ka na? C Mark Fernandez 'to, classmate mo nung highschool sa Lycee.
K: Classmate ko ng highschool? Anong year?
M: 1st yr. Db classmate pa nga natin si Jocelyn Pacheco?
K: Classmate ko nga sya nung 1st yr. pero wala akong kilalang Mark na naging classmate ko. (D pa naman siguro ako siguro masyadong makakalimutin noh!)
K: San mo nakuha number ko?
M: Tinandaan ko lang. Syempre d ko makakalimutan yun noh kasi mahal kita! May boyfriend ka na ba?
K: Oo bakit?
M: Hindi ako naniniwala. Nakita kita wala ka namang boyfriend eh.
K: Meron na nga..Sige na, may ginagawa pa kasi ako...
Actually, ayaw pa nyang ibaba yung phone but I insist. Masama na rin kasi tingin sakin ni Lito. And besides, he's a PRANK CALLER! The last words he told me pa nga is..."Makikita rin kita!". Tama ba yun? Kala ko ba classmate ko sya nung highschool...
Then Sunday came. Nagkausap kami ng bestfriend ko, si Sheila. Nagkuwento sya about lovelife (our fave topic!) Then nung malapit na nyang ibaba yung phone, may nabanggit sya 'bout a prank caller. Sabi ko sa kanya ako din meron! Yun pala, the same guy...MARK FERNANDEZ! Parehas pa ng sinabi sa amin. Napagalaman ko na cousin pala yon ni Pacheco. Then night came, tumawag sya ulit (si Mark)...
M: Hi! namiss kita..
K: Pwede ba, tigilan mo na ako.
Then he hang up the phone. I don't wanna be rude to him kaso d na talaga sya nakakatuwa eh. Naikuwento ko nga yun sa mga sis ko and some college friends. Tumawa sila kasi d daw nila akalain na marunong akong magtaray. Yun lang. After that, d na ulit sya tumawag. Good thing!
Nag-start na nga pala yung prelim namin last Monday. First exam ko nung Monday is Automata ang Language Theory. Medyo kinabahan nga ako kasi 2 days akong d naka-attend ng class dahil nagcampaign kami. Buti na lang, may nagturo sa akin nung lesson...Thanks guys! Tuesday naman exam ko sa Computer System Architecture! D nga ako masyadong nakapag-review kasi inantok talaga ako. Buti na lang d agad nagsimula yung exam.. That's all for now! Update ko na lang kayo sa mga susunod kong exams and for the result... Take care!

Thoughts to Ponder
Most relationship advice, including ours, puts a central focus on how to make your own personal dreams come true. But, if everyone is going around thinking how can I make "my" dreams come true, what happens to our partner's dreams? It seems to me that if we all spent even half the energy helping our partner get the relationship of their dreams, we'd all be happier for it. This weekend I invite you find out what it is that your partner desires from a dream relationship and endeavor to help do your part in creating it.

Knowing What's Best
Knowing What's Best
In the past, the starting point of my relationships was what I wanted instead of what God wanted. I looked out for my needs and fit others into my agenda. Did I find fulfillment? No, I found only compromise and heartache. I not only hurt others, I also hurt myself, and most seriously, I sinned against God.
But when I changed my attitude and made pleasing God and blessing others my first priorities, I found true peace and joy. When I stopped seeing girls as potential girlfriends and started treating them as sisters in Christ, I discovered the richness of true friendship. When I stopped worrying about whom I was going to marry and began trusting God's timing, I uncovered the incredible potential of serving God as a single. And when I stopped flirting with temptation in one-on-one dating relationships and started pursuing righteousness, I uncovered the peace and power that come from purity. I kissed dating goodbye because I found out that God has something better to give.
I'm going to run..
Kanina pagdating ko sa school, ewan ko ba kung bakit wala ako sa tamang mood. Para ngang ang weird ko kasi wala talaga akong gustong pansinin sa mga kaibigan ko (sama ko noh!) Ewan ko ba.. Sabi nga ni Ryan, "tulig" daw ako ngayon. Actually, d ko alam ibig sabihin non but I know it's something to do with my mood. After naman nung second class ko kanina, balik normal na ako!
