High Five.

Hello! I’ve been kinda out and depressed for a while and people doesnt know that. I kept that a secret except here. And yeah, Im still depressed, which I will be talking about later. But perhaps, this GIF below symbolizes what I feel right now, not totally relieved and still worried. :)

————

There are five things I really wana blog about tonight.

FIRST.

My Kuya Don and I chatted on Facebook last night. He is our eldest brother, the best among us siblings, I believe. He asked me whether I already have a boyfriend or not and said that having a boyfriend is not bad at all. But I reckon, I still believe that it’s a distraction I really dont need at the moment. And also, I could tell that he missed us, SO MUCH - I have to emphasize, because he kept saying that he’s always there for us when we would need him. The later, he called me. His voice was so sweet and said thank you for the time I spared for talking to him. He told me to focus on my studies and be always open to him and even tell him who my boyfriend is when that time comes. I frowned at the thought, that’s really out of my vocabulary right now. Hahaha

A message for my kuya, I miss you. And I know you miss us too. I love you, and just take care, even though you havent been at home for a long time already, I have forgotten you, of course, cause you’re my kuya. You are working hard, and I understand that. I love you Kuya. 

SECOND.

Next is that, I was back at our classroom today. Awww, IV- Einstein, I missed you. It’s quite sometime that I was gone for co-curricular activities. I missed my seat, my seatmates, my cool buddies, my classmates, and the class routine. Hahaha. Well, this day has been totally awesome. Lots of simple yet overwhelming things happened. Much to my surprise, I enjoyed our Tango practice in Mapeh which will be presented next week, oh my freaking gosh!

THIRD.

This is totally simple but honestly? I really appreciate it. Hahaha. We were able to have our SSG meeting and I was also able to collect the narrative reports I asked them to do. Simple right? Whateven.

FOURTH.

And yeah, our last period was awesome! TLE. Yeyy! I was able to answer like six questions Mr Ponce threw. And it made me proud of myself. 

and FIFTH.

The most miserable. Yeah, I am truly worried right now about my parents’ reaction if I would tell them tomorrow that I am still not the 1st honor in our class. Im not sure of the news yet but I hope its not true. I REALLY PRAY SO. Well, there’s really nothing I could do, is there? It’s God’s will. Of course, its my fault cause I havent exerted much effort on my studies, but I am sorry. I really wana be the valedictorian. I hope its not too late yet. 

And I know…

AMEN. :)

BTW people, this week, I have a strong feeling, that Im gonna be busier. Either Ill end up crying myself to sleep and asking for my parents’ forgiveness for disappointing them about my rank, which is of greater probability, or whatever Ill end up doing. Just hoping for the best! Think positive as they said. 

Oh, Im also taking the Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan’s Entrance Exam this Saturday at Butuan City. Wish me luck! 

Dear God, please hold me.

I am very depressed right now. And I am not exaggerating here. I have heard a sure news from someone that I am not on the First Honors of this Grading’s Ranking. You know how important this is for me. This is my life. I think I could die now. I want to burst into a very long and loud cry like I did last time when I almost got into a suicidal though. Please Lord God. Help. Jan Petros Esparagoza is now our First Honor and I know that he is truly smart. I am not smart at all. I am stupid so of course, with all the intelligence competitions happening inside the four corners of our classroom, I could not win. But I realized I could do better when I was the top during our first year. I felt like I can do it. But I was wrong. I cant. For sure, this Friday, when our cards will be distributed, my mother will not attend the meeting and I will be sent home scolded, I would again cuddle my pillow and cry myself to sleep. Please Lord, I dont want that to happen again. I cant take this anymore. Please, help me. Please take this pain and shame away. I need you so badly. I know I am not worthy of your love at all, but please, I beg you. I love you Lord God. I am such a worthless daughter who only prays when I need something. I am sorry. Please Lord God help me. I want to die. I am being plastic by ignoring my problem. Please send me a person whom I could cry on. Or just simply take this away. I love you Lord God. Please help me.

What will happen?

Imagine a world where there isn’t enough clean water to drink and there isn’t ample food to eat. We have used up most of the resources that we require to survive. What little that is left is so polluted that it is not fit to be used. Is this our future? It is up to us to find a cure to the ailment that is destroying our planet. Will we find a way to continue our survival? Only time will tell. But this time may be upon us sooner than we imagine if we do not start looking very carefully at the way we look at the population problem.

The world today faces many problems despite the fact that it has taken long strides in science, technology and knowledge. One such problem is over population especially in developing countries. The population is growing so fast, that it grows in geometric progression whereas economic goods grow only in Arithmetic progression that demographers say there will not be literally any standing space on earth for her teeming millions.

Population explosion is considered as one of the undisputable alarming obstacles of the less developed countries. Definitely this is a very serious problem that the government should solve. The Philippines belong to the group of these “less developed countries.” And as we all know, the growth of population in our country is unstoppable. It is estimated that 3,000 Filipino babies are born every day, 100,000 every month, or one million a year to round.

One way for a country or other ruling authoritative body to control population growth is to institute laws that prohibit high fertility. China, for instance, is well known for instituting a “one child policy” which makes it illegal for urban couples to have more than one child. Using regulations to control population in this manner is often frowned upon, and requires a governing body with supreme authority over its people, but it can be very effective. Another important way is to promote contraception among the population. Contraception drastically reduces fertility rates, often with minimal expenses. Condoms can also help prevent the spread of STDs like AIDS, which is an epidemic in many poor nations. In 1968, Paul Ehrlich noted in The Population Bomb that, “We must cut the cancer of population growth”.

Now people have realized the dangers of over population. Every country is caught up with this problem and population growth control has become an economic necessity. Family planning has become a household word. Though there have been objections on religious and other grounds, people have come to accept family planning as a fact of life. Some countries have taken it seriously that it has become a national effort. Through mass media people are being warned and educated.

Still the world may be saved from population explosion. May be there are more Green Revolution miracles up the sleeves. May be birth control miracles in the next ten years may save us. Right now the whole world seems bored with Family Planning. Can the world afford the luxury of such boredom?

This is my prepared entry for my essay writing contest on Population Development tomorrow. May the odds be ever in my favor. 

The SBYTESC.

Geia sou! As in right now, tonight, I have just arrived from school for the occurrence of our School-Based Youth Technology and Environmental Science Camp. If you were able to read the post I’ve had before this one, I promised to babble everything I could about the event.

…..

Actually, the event started last October 25, 2012 at 7:30 PM. 

……

That’s what happened during the opening night. On the following photos I will present to you the cornucopia of the entire event. 

Thehany, Chelay and Me(on the center)!

That, by the way, is a photo taken by Babans, which I will be using for my blog. Hahaha.

Me and Babans! :D

The dead tired goddess, what happened to her? lol

……

Nevertheless, our Day 2 started on the right side. It was Babans’s birthday. Happy birthday to you 3x. 

The birthday girl on her day. :)

……

Here’s photos taken by the birthday girl, however, and I used one as my DP on Facebook. Hahaha

……

And seriously, I was the head of the lecture committee. But I got killed by my own dose, I felt sleepy during the sessions hours and so we stayed at the workshop area with fellow staff members, put my earphones on, volumed up to 14 on my Corby phone, covered my face with a handkerchief, place my feet on the table and you know what happened next. Hahahaha

…..

And so I have this..

….

And for the Pledge Night! The most epic of it all. :D

Me lighting my candle. 

Amazing, isnt it? We were able to form the PSYSC Logo using tea candles. Thanks to all staff! Including me! Nyahahaha

Tada! That’s us. THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND THE HEADS! Me at the center!

I seriously felt so emotional that time, but uh-oh, I have to hold my tears. Haha

….

and later, we we all partied! Hahaha

…..

And finally, everything was a success. Good job everyone!

The odds were in our favor. Thank you Almighty Father! :D

Tons of surreal things happened today, seriously. This afternoon I thought of asking Weldec to capture some photos of me for my blog but we ended up quite angry with each other so I wasn’t able to fetch the photos from him (damn it). Another thing is, Ron messed up with his two emotional and good bestfriends. He cried at school today and I didn’t care much, but at least I think I do because I had a tumblr convo with Vanessa about it. 

I don’t know, I mean, what is happening to me? Boredom is killing me. Gosh. I need a lovelife I guess but it would be a total distraction, which I really really don’t need at the moment. I kinda feel restless that’s why I have to blog about it.

Hey, what’s with the sea photo above? Well, nothing. I just made up with that plan. Truthfully, I just think it’s relaxing, soothing you know. ‘cause I bet most people are on the top of their emotions tonight. 

And before I forget, tomorrow’s the camp already, so I would be sort of afar for while but I promise to blog about it as soon as I get back. Lots of things I would like to blog about a while ago, but I felt kinda tired so I might as well mix ‘em all up into this one. Endure and deal with this photo up here for a while okay? ‘cause I’ll be dealing with a bunch of heroes, demi-gods and gods tomorrow. Geia sou!

Kuya Patrick.

Well, it kinda gives me a “oh-i-remember” thing when I think of Kuya Patrick whom we met back there in Los Banos. So I might as well blog about him. 

…..

Kuya Patrick is a BS Chemistry graduate from the University of Sto. Tomas and is currently working on a contractual basis at the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH), at UP Los Banos, where we conducted our Research Laboratory Works. 

Thing is, my friends tease me that Kuya Pat and I are bagay kasi we are almost of the same height, lol. Really, my friends? But Ive got totally no malice here, seriously man. 

….

Here’s some photos I have with him, btw. :)

Inside the Isolation Room where we do all the Bacterial inoculation and procedure using microorganisms.

…

Some says maybe I should be a Scientist not a lawyer, but no matter. I guess my experiences in this aspect would just be one of those unforgettable moments I have with good people. Cheers to that!

My Brother’s Fallout.

Hey man. I have a sad story to tell. This is kinda private though, but the hell I care. This is my brother I will be talking about here, and I want to let the whole world know about this because I love him, no matter how annoying he could be. 

Thing is, he got dropped from his course in college, which shocked us all tonight. He’s on his second year in BS Accountancy. News came and said that he got only a weighted average of 5 in Biology 11. His classmates said that the instructor must have mistakenly encoded the grade because the thing is kinda surreal for he was not even at the list of student who are to take the removal exam.

Now I just really feel so bad for him. I mean, how could this happen? In just a flip, his and our dreams would turn into nothing. 

I hope and really really pray though that it was just a typographical error.

Chris the Great.

Hello people. I just actually got back from school today. And I know right? It’s sembreak, and what is this? Reason is, I have to take my special exams for the second grading. And too much pressure here because my ‘rents are expecting that I could do better this time, and that I would be the top of the class. Seriously, I have so much to think about right now, like how can I be the first honor, how can I act like Im not worried at all, stuff like that.

……..

But who cares? Right now, I’m in front of the laptop making this loooong post dedicated to a cute little friend. Hey, chase her on Facebook. That would be fine (esp when you’re a super hot Australian or no matter what as long as youre hot and smart and kind guy). 

She might have read my friend preview posts and thats why she replied to one of them. So here it is. Danica praises the extraordinary Xtel. Hahahahaha

I really think that this photo of her, which is also from her facebook account, looks really candid. Maybe it’s because of the light effect whatever not the smile of the girl. lol, kidding.

 Before I forget, I must also emphasize that she’s a Harry Potter, Percy Jackson series, stuff like Mythology and etc, David Archuleta, and a Rocket to the Moon die-hard fan. Plus, seriously guys, she’s Charice’s no. 1 hater. She loathers her, I just don’t know why. Hahahaha. Want proof? Visit her tumblog.  

And oh? Chris, istheyou? Hahaha. You look like Pucca here. 

…….

and … this.

This. This I envy man. I just don’t know how to do this effect using Photoshop, could someone do this on one of my photos please? Maybe my boyfriend would do that for me, shit, I wont have a boyfriend til I think I could have one. lol. My life is complicated guys so let’s focus of Chris’s.

Christel’s also very much fond of the Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs, imagine this huh. She was able to attend all the NYSTECs in highschool. Hahahaha. Theyre rich man, I suggest you court her, she could be your ideal girl. 

She loves to read books, stuff like novels, scie-fi movies and many many more. This is one of the many things I think I could get along with her so easily with. I like books too, esp romance books(twilight saga)! 

I guess she eats a lot, but very thrifty! KURIPOT! lol

And very kulit. 

And vain too. Nyahahahaha. Look at the following photos so that you’ll see.

But seriously, she is a really true good friend. I mean, I appreciate her the way she is. She would fight for you at times, but the one who would tease you most often. 

……

The first time I met here was during our freshmen years. She was our class president and talks fluently in english. She’s small, but terrible, I could say. 

This. This photo is very meaningful. Hahaha. All of my buddies in highschool are here, unfortunately some I havent met by that time yet. But Chris is one of those in the photo. She was my daughter in our Galilei Family Tree, and we’ve been through a lot of witty situations together already, esp encounters with boys. lol.

…..

She’s a boy hunter but I guess when that time really comes, when she would finally fall in love for real, she would be the best girl a man could have, next to me of course, kidding Chris. hahahaha.

And seriously, if I were to spill some of here secrets, she’d be dead by now. Hahahaha.

Hey, you mad muggle Chris, just want you to know that me’s always here for you. You are one of my true friends that’s why you are included on the bunch of cool people I wana be with at school everyday, I just hope you notice my efforts in one way or another. Carpe diem, girl.

…..

XOXO from me. Yeah, just this once okay? You’re Chris the Great. Keep your faith in God. :D 

I am a leader.

Help us reach the signers up to 500 to be able to have our President reconsider the conduct of the 10th National Leadership Training for Student Government Officers. 

Youth Power here! Be one of us by signing this petition. Thank you!

My Santa finally showed up.

Posted this photo on my Facebook wall last night with a caption “Dear Santa, just these for Christmas please?”. 

I seriously did not think that my Tita would saw it, then she promised to buy me these for Christmas! She’s my Santa! Yeyyy! New Sanuk shoes for Christmas. Hahahaha. I hope she meant it. 

Juliet.

And my next victim is…

TADA! NIKOLAI. 

(she’s was the first one to like my friend preview post and now I think it is her rightful turn to be previewed. Hahahaha)

I’ll start with this photo from her blog.

The name’s Nikolai Jaen Panganiban. I’ve know here since Grade 2 but we only get to be classmates on highschool, til now. I highly admire her literary and writing skills, yeah seriously man, she is better than me. 

….

I don’t know much about her really personal life but I do know that her Father works in Qatar as a writer (that’s huge man!). They are rich, so stalk her on Facebook! Hahahaha

She’s tall, and white and …..

VAIN. hahahaha

She loves reading books and listening to podcasts on her iPod.

A KPop Fan, loves vintage clothes, bracelets and kikay necklace..

And achingly beautiful. 

…

Look here..

I just noticed that she’s a bit shy to show off her talents.

And I encourage you to step out of your nutshell Bebang! I love you, and please don’t be mad at me for making you my number 2 victim, Juliet! <3

Friend Preview 1.

This is just one of those times when I feel so bored and have nothing else to do. Yeah seriously man, Im so bored. I decided last night to spend my whole Saturday studying the lessons in my Trigonometry and Advanced Physics classes but shame is, my brothers are out and Im alone with the laptop. Internet’s truly a distraction. Hahaha

….

So what made me do this? I just thought that I have always been telling you stuff about myself and the series of fortunate and unfortunate events in my life. I think it’s time to introduce my friends to you, people. And I’ll start with Weldec. ‘Cause he’s mostly the one messing with my facebook posts and photos recently, but we’re truly and unplastically friends. Hahaha. I think it was his mom who thought that I was adopted by my parents (seriously? lol), that was of course according to Decdec, which he corrected immediately. Hahaha

Oh and btw, John Weldec Cabuyoc’s photos here are from his Facebook account. Hahaha

He’s the boy on the second to the left. hahaha. Look at their faces. I mean, oh crap. We all looked hilarious here. lol

Feeling like a pro photographer here. Kidding dude, but true. Hahaha

Oh and he loves photo ops…

..and Jejemon Sun Glasses and softdrinks…

….. and loose long sleeves and the color white..

.. and music, and his earphones, hahahaha..

……

and research.

Yeah, he’s a fellow researcher of mine. Hahaha. We’ve been classmates since elementary and went with a lot of fights together. But he’s who he is and I can’t change him. He’s sometimes helpful and sometimes palaaway! And even naughty. 

….

Also, I encourage that you stalk him on Facebook. Hahahaha

……

Watch out for more of my CLASSMATE PREVIEWS here on my blog where I get to spill the dark secrets I know about them, but not all okay? Just those that I think are appropriate to be shared of for the sake of my sense of humor. Hahahaha. Im just sharing here how could they could be (cute= friendly, not gwapo/gwapa).
