Iba ang UP

I just want to share the pics that we had taken for our comm140 report. Enjoy!


Academic Oval

Blue books: can't go to school without it.

Thanks Eka for the pics.

*It has been a very busy week. Homeworks due everyday. Waah! I need rest.

I miss high school
I miss Angelicum.

Do you?

Futbol

When I watched the SEAGames - soccer (football) game last Friday between the Philippines and Cambodia, I started remembering the times when I used to play soccer.


It is one of my favorite sport and the sport that I feel that I can excel (or just do good) into. I remember on the last minutes of soccer time, I usually feel bad that our soccer time was over.


SEAGames Soccer Match


SOCCER TIME - Angelicum College - 2003


And then, I left soccer when I moved into playing softball for our batch's intrams team. Then in college, I started engaging into martial arts.


But I want to pursue my first love, soccer.

I want to play soccer sometime. But due to time constraints, probably I will not.

Too bad.

(Anyway, I'm rooting for Team Philippines, Go for the Gold. One Team. One Nation. One Philippines)

The Godfather

It had been some time since I last posted. I was planning to change the template before making a new post. Now I got a new template.


I was to attend the UJP symposium Saturday morning and the photoshoot after. It was supposed to be my first activity in UJP as full member but I got caught up with my earlier plan.

At 7am Saturday morning, I had an appointment with my doctor for a lab exam. But unfortunately, I woke up late and arrived at the hospital at 8am. There were lots of people inside, it was a like the Harry Potter Movie line, too bad they won't like what they will about to see and hear. (It applies to both the real thing and the metaphor.hehe)

I got out of the hospital at around 10:00 in the morning and I planned to go on to the UJP event even though I'll be 2 1/2 hours late. But I decided not to since I don't want to make a grand entrance on the symposium. Next time na lang siguro.

S, I went back home. With nothing to planned to do (except for my economics HW), I went to our stash of DVDs and watched JUST MARRIED starring Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy.

I got a text from Daryl to attend the forum offered by Kapuluan. Kapuluan is this all male, Catholic driven organization in UP. I was planning to join the organization since last year, so I decided to went to the forum. After the mini forum, I was "oriented" by Daryl and some of the Kaps people about Kapuluan.After, they had this Latin meditation and I was invited to talk with the priest for spiritual direction. I t was a good thing because I want to be near with Lord that I felt I was got lost since I graduated from Angelicum. I did sign up with Kapuluan and I'm planning to go on with it. But the question arrives, How can I handle three organizations? hehe.


I got home at around 9pm and I dropped by Videocity to get "The Godfather: Part2" DVD. It was not as good as the first movie but it was better than the third. It seems ironic that after getting into a christian meditation and religious formation, I went to watch a violent film. And come to think, the title of the film is The GODfather.hehe

Heartbreaker

Three Subjects. Three Heartbreakers


I got 3 1.75 for the final grade for 3 of my subjects. I mean the grade is quite OK but ang nakakainis lang ay ang kamalasan ko ngayon semester.


COMMUNICATIONS 100

I got a 1.75 in this subject. Not bad as what I have said. Pero ang nakakainis lang ay onting points na lang, 1.5 na sana ako. I got a 83.88 for my final raw grade computed from quizzes and exams and it gave me a 1.75. The bad thing is 84.66 will bring me sana a 1.5. Sayang, 1 more correct answer sana will bring my grade up sana.

COMMUNICATIONS 3

Isa pa to. My average was 1.755. Pag naka 1.749 sana ako it would be a a 1.5 for me sana. .006 lang sana.

POLITICAL SCIENCE 14

Sad. I got a raw grade of 87.75 and a 88 sana will bring me to a 1.5. An additional 2 correct exam answers lang sana yun! Waaaaa!


It simply means na I need to study more this coming semester.

* My Lovelife is ON. The challenge is on and I'm ready for it.

Breakfast Club

Kakagaling ko lang kahapon sa induction ng UJP (Union of Journalists of the Philippines) - UP Diliman. Second org ko na ito sa UP at siguro I'll stop on that number na. My plans for training in Judo had been postponed kasi di ko na makakayanan!

Wala akong pwedeng sabihin sa induction kasi it's a secret. Ayoko ko ng i-elaborate yun details, para if ever kung may nagbabasa nito na magaapply ng UJP ay at least meron man lang "sensational" idea at para masurprise naman.

Congrats to myself and my batchmates.

Today, I got the chance to watch the movie, BREAKFAST CLUB. I had heard lots of good insights in this movie. I remember it was given a special award in the latest MTV Music Awards.

It was filmed in the 80s. A movie about a group of 5 teenagers coming from different backgrounds that were all placed in a school detention. There's a criminal, a jock, a basket case, a prom spoiled queen and a dork.



It was a movie of great impact. The setting was set on the 1980s so some of the lines mentioned were not familiar (I was asking who the hell is this person that they were mentioning?). It captured the essence of being youth with all the situations that encircles them (or us.). The way that the movie captured what the youth is really up to is revolutional maybe on that era, but still the movie never fails to reflect what the youth is upto today. It is a good way of understanding the past and maybe relate it to our present time.

A movie worth renting or waiting for in HBO.

4 out 5 stars.

* Then I went to watch The Day After Tomorrow. NO need to give a review on.

Long Overdue Post.

Ang tagal ko na ring hinintay ang araw na ito (at marahil ang mga nagbabasa nito rin) na makapag post sa blog ko.

Ewan ko, I felt that blogging has become boring. Siguro nawala na ang drive ko for blogging but bumalik na siya. wahahaha.

I don't know if I'm doing this because of guilt or just of plain boredom (o, yeah, I'm waiting pala for this email to be sent.

So, what's up with Jerick ngayon.

SCHOOL LIFE

Kakatapos lang ng school ko kanina. School had been really rough for me. My schedule had torn me apart. wahaha. Nagutom, napagod, nalipasan...lahat nangyari na.

COMM 100
Di ko inexpect ang grade ko dito. I was expecting for a 2.0 or a 2.25 but I got a 1.75. wahaha! nakakatuwa. and besides yun. I was top 6 sa class namin. I jumped from number 17 to number 6. nakakatuwa lang. efforts paid off!

JOURN 101
As I had despised my Journ101 before for it being too boring. Ngayon, it's still boring and I still despise me. But, parang ang j101 ay galit din sa akin. I was not satisfied with my midterms grade. I just had my finals kanina. and it was OK (i hope pati kay ma'am ok din yun). I'm ready to be under probationary status next semester. Ngunit may pagasa pa!

COMM 3
Bwisit. I'm between two rivers. Nakakainis kasi, I'm running between a 1.5 and 1.75. If we will get a 1.5 on our report, I'll also get a 1.5 grade and if I'll get a lower grade, I'll be at 1.75. I'll check it tomorrow. PRAY.

POL SCI 14
Isa pa itong pahamak na subject. Again, computation based, I might get a 1.75 pero baka mag 1.5. sana ulit. pero kahit anong grade, I enjoyed this class and the knowledge it had imparted ang mas importante.

GEOGRAPHY 1
I took my geography 1 for granted. haha. but I hope I'll get a decent grade for it

ART STUDIES 2
At the latter part of the semester, I started to enjoy this subject. But it was too late. Sayang

PE JUDO
Enjoy ko tong PE ko na ito. I had many experiences in it. Sumali ako sa isang interclass Judo tournament at unfortunately, di ako nanalo. SAD but HAPPY. Iba pa rin ang binibigay ng experience. Again, baka ito nanaman ang highest grade ko ngayon semester. Hmmm.

PE CHEERLEADING
I had this subject dropped because I lost my attendance card. Haha. stupid me. Sayang ang P1000+ na gastos for watching UAAP games. Pero at least, namemorize ko ang UP Naming Mahal at lalo akong napamahal sa UP.

_______________________________

EXTRA CURRICULAR

UP MCO
Masaya pa rin ang MCO, as usual. Kakatapos lang ng Major last week. at I'm so delighted na maganda ang naging result nun. The speakers were impressed kahit medyo tabingi ang sympo. Marami pa kaming dapat matutunan sa pamamalakad ng isang org. Promise, next year, dapat flagship org na ang MCO.

UJP - UP

Malapit na ang induction namin. Madami na rin akong nagawa for UJP, I hope it will pay off.

___________________________

Yun muna ngayon, gabi na.

Till next time.

I don't know

Di ko alam ang gagawin ko. ang daming kaguluhan, ang daming dapat gawin. parang di tumitigil ang kamalasan. puro na lang kamalasan.


+ i lost my cheerleading attendance. i'll try to talk to my prof. but i'm ready to drop that subject, pero sayang naman ang aking mga gastos dun

+ di ko pa naayos ang MAJOR ISSUE, putol-putol pa rin ang pagasenso nito at hello! sa sept. 1 na siya. waaah!

+ solo interview ko na sa UJP next week. good luck to me.

+ 2 lang ang nakuha ko sa 1st exam ko sa polsci. sayang. i'm really hoping for a much higher grade. much higher!..better luck next time

+ sorry, no time to update/upload/ek-ek. sa sem break na lang.

Super delayed updates

School had been to busy for me to handle. 8 subjects, 2 organizations, tons of extra curricular activities and other small time social life escapes had been filling my life this first semester.

Just a big run through of events:

* I had my PolSci exam kanina which was very frustrating. I studied for almost a week for that exam hoping for a better grade but it do seem a little bit blurry. Pangasar lang kasi, I did review for the exam, but pagdating ko dun all went blank. Tapos, there were this pesky rallyista na nanggugulo sa class (who took at least 5 minutes of my precious exam time), which resulted to a crammed essay answers and unreadable penmanship.

* Also, I had my Comm100 exam last Thursday, it was not that hard nor that easy. Nakakalito lang talaga.

* We had our geography field trip last Saturday at Tagaytay and Taal Volcano...I'll upload pictures later.

* I hate my Art Stud class, it is boring, our prof gives us tons of useless readings and he discusses it in ther useless way possible. Kung di ko lang enjoy kasama yun mga classmates ko dun, I probably will cut class or drop it out.

* My comm3 class is like my "panira" class, alam mo yun, you do study for an exam, tapos biglang sisingit yun Comm3 activities..wahahaha!

* J101 ko? wala lang as in wala lang...no stories whatsoever. Boring.

* I had watched 5 games for my cheerleading ( I watched the UE game only during the first quarter) and kung andun ako, the UP team wins. (No joke, I completely watched the games VS DLSU, UST, AdU and NU and we won over those games while I watched the UE game til the first quarter and UP was leading by the time I left)...Lucky charm ng Maroons ako! (I won't be watching this Saturday's game with FEU..so?)

* Panakit-katawan ang judo class ko. Sore shoulders, arms and legs were the results of my almost 2 month's judo PE. but it's working ha, I can do more pushups and situps!

* I am applying in UJP-UP this semester, I don't know kung kaya ko lang because of my super dami kong commitmetns. Pero kaya yan because of the support from the caring members and my co-apps. Pero sana matapos ko siya...

* MCO had been under the radar for this sem. We had garnered lots of internal problems that I hope can be resolved.

* Na move ulit ang major issue, bwisit na speakers yan! I want to get through na nga ito, so that wala na akong trabaho masyado! Hehe

So yun muna, I'll put some pics later.

Not enough vitamins

First week pa lang ng July and I'm exhausted. Too many works, too many commitments and too many tasks to do.

I have 8 subjects for this semester plus extra curricular activities (org and stuff). I had 3 major subjects, 3 General Electives and 2 PE subjects. I really hate my schedule. I do have nga this unhealthy lunches every tuesday and friday due to the fact na tuloy-tuloy ang class ko. It was my fault din since I arranged my sched myself but di ko naisip na ganito pala to kahirap.

Anyway,I love my PolSci 14 subject especially with this political crisis we're having, it's like having your personal adviser and political analyst. I love listening to our professor's comments, kasi he gives off this objective look on this issue, analysing both parties. This helped me understood what is really happening and maybe analyse what can happen next. Tamang-tama. I do strive sa subject na ito, because I want to excel, even at the expense of my other subjects. Sana nga lang, I can do best in this subject (kahit ng vitamin-deprived na ako).

This sem will truly be a very physically exhausting semester. Sana kaya ko to!
