iba na ang atmosphere sa school ngayon, elections na kasi. yup, pati sa UP, elections mode na rin. sa BA puno ng colorful pictures, iba talaga pag may funds. sa cmc, puro red at yellow naman. in fairness, di nalang isang party ngayon ang nasa CMC, dalawa na sila. dati parang yes or no votes lang at least ngayon pipili ka na talaga.
Pero ang dilemma, mahirap pumili. grabe, marami ako dun friends at marami din akong di kilala. haha. nga pala, dahil MCO ang hahawak ng meeting de avance, medyo dapat non-partisan ako. rule daw yun. kaya parang, yun mga orgmates ko di ko rin maikampanya, kasi nga dapat non-partisan. hirap kaya nun. bawal yun mga colored pins na corny na dinidikit pero natatanggal din. last year, puno yun bag ko ng mga kung ano-anong stickers. pero di ko naman sila binoto. haha. for design lang.
inisip ko tuloy kung tumakbo ba ako last year, ano na kaya nangyari sa akin? haha. baka tumatakbo na ako for chairperson ng CMC-SC ngayon or something. pero ayoko naman nun.
tapos ka-YM ko si wivi kanina, pinaguusapan namin kung paano kami magiiwan ng legacy sa UP
DISCLAIMER: Purely fictional lang po ito, haha. wag niyo gamitin evidence if ever na meron ngang mangyaring ganto.
Wivi: i have just one year left in UP....i have to leave a legacy!
Wivi: like i did angelicum
Jeck: maybe, someone will be shot sa council niyo
Jeck: or something
Wivi: if that happens it would be my doing
Grabe, tama bang i suggest ko yun? haha. It gets worse.
Jeck: only up student who snipered a council member
Wivi: now that's something!
Wivi: you gave me a great idea
Wivi: i'll leave my legacy in up years after i left it
Jeck: maybe you can
Wivi: death to UP!
Wivi: Wivi, a UP alumnus, caused the most embarassing demise of the University of the Philippines!
haha. so much for our love of our alma mater. oo na, evil na kami.
Grabe, i miss hanging with that guy. Iba pa rin talaga pag sa angelicum galing.
Speaking of angelicum, nakita ko si Paula Geron last thursday. Ang weird nga eh, yun hs friend ng college friend ko ay friend din ni paula.
Kim: Jerick, punta ka dito sa chocokiss, nandito classmate mo, section elizabeth
Jerick: Sino?
Kim: basta pumunta ka nalang...
Jerick: (calls Kim tapos sinagot ni pauie)
Pauie on phone: Jerick, di mo ako nakikilala, long lost friend mo ako?
Jerick: (clueless)
Pero, grabe na miss ko talaga si pauie and most of my hs friends. Grabe, nagusap kami the whole night. Na-OP nga namin yun mga barkada ni kim... Iba talaga pag taga-ange. Tapos naalala ko tuloy yun "past" ko. haha. aaaw. moving forward.
Ilang buwan nalang, tapos na ang second semester. Salamat naman.
Tapos internship na namin!
Mabuti naman ang paghahanap ng internship place. Medyo may dalawa ng nagreply. Dun sa isang diyaryo, medyo ok na, contract signing nalang. Tapos yun isang PR firm naman, may interview pa ako. Tapos dun sa mga iba kong pinasahan ko, medyo hinihintay ko na lang tumawag. Sigur, tawagan ko na sila. haha. sometime.
Pero, di muna ako tatatanggap unless sure na ako gusto ko dun.
Grabe, ang updated ko na sa heroes. thanks to mia and steph, napapanood ko na ang latest heroes episodes. So far, episode 16 na ako. hopefully mapapanood ko na siya. Grabe, dahil dun gusto ko ng magka-super powers.

Comelec Voter's Registration SUCKS!
Based from the title, it's pretty clear that I'm fcuking pissed off! With all the "incompetencies" that the COMELEC had been battered with (Garci and the electronic poll scam), it's no surprise that they will once again fail. And yes I, along with almost 2,000 QUEZON CITY DISTRICT TWO "angry" and soon-to-be voters, were victims of mismanaged registration process.
I was in line from 8AM til 6PM and I didn't accomplish anything "Comelec". I was there last week to get me scheduled for the voter's form release but almost 8 hours had passed and let me just say that all I got were two tired feet,an empty stomach, pissed off grandma images that I think will last forever in my mind and a headache.
The COMELEC Voter's Registration is the most inefficient procedure that I've ever seen in my whole life ( passport and driver's license application were overshadowed by this). With only 2 computers working for 505,000+ people in my district, you get my point. Along with some untrained volunteers, this will definitely result to long lines, pissed mob, pre-stampede situation and many unregistered voters.
But I had my own share of mistakes since I joined the voter's rush with me being aware of the registration starting last our semestral break. But, I think, the dilemma goes with COMELEC as well since they were unable to prepare for the expected surge of registrants within the last few weeks.
While in line, I also saw how most of the masses see the media in these situations. Media was for them the "police" of the government. Often in the line, you can hear shouts saying "parating na ang media" and "kaya naayos yan ay dahil may media". It's quite positive that they see media as that but looking at the bigger picture, actions done based from media coverage is unacceptable.
I got my own taste of media frenzy as I was interviewed by a GMA reporter while in line. I pretty much stuttered on the interview and said a lot of useless comments. They didn't show any interviews nor my face but they were able to tackle my problem. But they did show my photocopied IDs as well as my Ipod and some people were able to recognize me from the feed. haha. sikat!
I wasn't able to register and I won't register this time. I know that I should vote in 2007 but with these incompetencies I won't be able to put my trust for my vote on a commission full of shit. I hope by the 2009 registration, everything will be well. for now, down with COMELEC. hehe.

Lost in taxi-lation
I lost my mobile phone Wednesday last week.
My MCO friends and I were on a taxi going to SM North. As we arrived at the mall, since I was in front, I decided to pay the fare. Since I was holding my phone, I placed it in my left pocket so that I would be able to get my wallet at the right. Ganito pa yun dialogue nun:
Jerick: Manong, eto ang bayad ( I pay P100)
Taxi Driver: (gets the money and gives me back P20)
Jerick: Manong, bakit po P20 lang ang sukli eh, 62.50 lang ang nasa metro
Taxi Driver: Eh, marami kayo eh!
Jerick: Di naman po ganun, kung ano po yun nasa metro, yun po yun ibabayad namin.
Taxi Driver: (nagagalit na)
Jerick: Anong plate number niyo?! TWU 707! I-rereport ko kayo sa LTFRB
Taxi Driver: (gives back the exact change)
Jerick: (went out and slammed the door)
Once that I was out, I was telling my friends what had happened. Then, I noticed na that I lost my phone. Ayun.
It was my phone for 2 years and my number for 5 years. Nakakainis. Some contacts gone. Some pictures poof-ed away. Tsk tsk.
Ganyan talaga ang buhay.
Don't worry, I already have a new phone.

2. Summer holidays-50 where weather is very hot and difficult to study.
Days left 263.
3. 8 hours daily sleep- 130 days GONE
Days left 141.
4. 1 hour for daily playing (good for health) means 15 days.
Days left 126.
5. 2 hours daily for food & other delicacies
(chewing properly & swallowing)- means 30days.
Days left 96.
6. 1 hour for talking (man is a social animal)- means 15 days
Days left 81.
7. Exam days- per year at least 35 days.
Days left 46.
