Walang pasok ngayon kaya nung last Saturday I went home, I took pleasure last weekend. Last week puro suspended ang pasok tapos ngayon walang pasok ulit , sabi nila lugi daw kami , well maybe in the part of learning but in having our family during the day na walang pasok I am sure hinding hindi ako malulugi , kasi for me kulang na kulang ang time namin ng family ko for bonding, masyadong busy kasi ang lahat ngayon.

Walang pasok…. walang pasok eh bakit nga ba walang pasok ? hindi ko tuloy alam kung anu ang sense kung bakit walang pasok , basta walang pasok yon na yon. Ang mga ibang istyudante kaya? Alam kaya nila kung bakit walang pasok , palagi kasing inililipat ang araw ng holiday kaya tuloy minsan hindi malaman agad kung bakit walang pasok. Tulad ngayon National Heroes Day pala kaya walang pasok eh ang alam ko kasi sa 31 pa yun pero namove pala.Pero di bale pag walang pasok tulad ngayon nakakatipid ang nakararami kasi hindi na sila magpapamasahe at hihingi ng baon sa kanilang parents kaso nga lang yung dapat nilang matututnan sa day na yun ay nasasakripisyo. Buti nalang may remedial at para naman makabawi.

Enjoyin nyo nalang ang araw na ito para sa family, para sa mga gawaing bahay at para sa mga requirements ninyo ng hindi ito masayang hindi naman kasi tayo politicians at para maghanap ng kamera at magpakwela na lamang.

I am on the bus when I first saw Manila Bay, and I can say that indeed it is very attractive and very natural. Adding the plants and street lights it is really beautiful.

Subsequently out of excitement I open the window and I was so disappointed to smell the stinking scent of the air coming from the bay.

Why is it so beautiful at glance yet stinking?

Seeing the water in the bay from the bus there are garbage’s floating, and the color is nearly similar to leachate or let us say the water from the canal. Past years they say that Baguio City was the most polluted city yet there we have Manila that I can say that it is far polluted than Baguio City.

Going back, just after seeing Manila Bay I have read the news from Phil. Star NGAYON about the floating dead baby in Manila Bay (“Patay na Sanggol sa Kahon ,Ipinaanod”-Ludy Bermundo ). Beside from the floating wastes there was also floating corpse, how is that.

Well, one of the ironies is that you can still see people have the guts to swim in the polluted water, are they not aware of the smell, color, or the floating wastes or is it because for them the water is already clean.

Well I am very sure it only proves the lack of education, discipline, poverty, lousy government, and love to nature.

What’s your style?

PunK? rock? Sweet? Blue ? Pink?

Do you like rock? , wearing black , black shoes ,black t-shirt, black jeans , black underwear, black bag, with matching black eyeliner , and finally all you need is your black butt to scare animals in the zoo?

How about Cinderella style? Walking down the busy street with your gown, matching make-up, with dramatic entrance to the mall, and because of memory gap you left your slipper to the entourage of the mall because you think it’s your palace, girl no one will pick it for you.

Hey, whatever is your style; bring it on as long as you can carry it all the way. The important is that you are comfortable, and it’s you, because your style reflects who you are. However you should also consider your environment, look around you and you will know what to wear.

Last month I started on my job, actually it is a part time job well because I just wanted to work while studying and the major reason I need money. So I went for crazy interviews and luckily I was hired. My first assignment was to tutor Koreans; there are two of them actually. At first I was too nervous and feel excited nervous because it was my first job in my life, and excited to know my clients. So the day came I went to school first but I can’t concentrate because of I don’t know maybe because of fear that my client might be rude that I can’t handle that they can even say fuck you ! or bitch like those I’ve watched in the television or they could not understand English plus I remember my experience to my Korean friend .My friend and I are walking that time having a good time and I tell him about my family, and tell some stories then finally I stop and asked him if he understand me then he asked me “what’s understand?” and I realized that he did not understand all the things I am talking all about, funny. Anyway back to the topic, every negative notion came into my mine that time. Nevertheless, I convince myself that I can I do it no matter what happens. The schedule was 5 pm, and I arrived there 4:30 pm, sweating, feel nausea It’s like that I want to vomit or like have a LBM….. hahaha just kidding , actually just feel nervous then I met my 1^st client she is a teenager looks nice and looks kind, I introduced myself and I started to teach her science, and I feel good all the way, until time was over. Afterward I met my second client, and all worries flew away, he is very nice and kind, and I feel great.

I laughed at my self for being uncomfortable that day; I wasted lot of energy in worrying.

You always look us every now and then, were so grateful to you papa, mama is so lucky to have you in her life I am so sure of it.

It was cold that night, the stars up the sky are brightly as diamonds .The breeze of the wind touches my skin deeply, I am with my siblings that time and as we walk down the street I look at the sky and saw exactly the falling star, so I shout with joy “hey guys there is a falling star”, and instantly whisper my wish.

“Where did it go?’’, they suddenly ask me.

“To the east” I answer.”Did you saw it? I ask.

“No”, they said.

“You miss it I told them, then we continue walking, after a few minutes I saw another one “there it goes again “I shout.

“You miss it again! “ I told them.

“I hope you could see one” I told them

And my eldest sister shouts “I saw it”.

“You are making fun of me” our eldest sister shouts on us.

No ,I said, and I look at the sky again , and I saw a airplane with blinking light so I told our elder sister that there is a falling star, so she look at it , “ no it is an airplane “ she said. So I laugh and, “yeah its not, but because you cant find a falling star, just imagine that it is a falling star”.” At least, you can look at it for a longer time until it is gone, you can have lot of wishes”, and I laugh loudly.

I was so exited that time to deliver my report at school in one of my subject a very boring subject , so I prepared my self I read my report for several times to understand it , I even had a self rehearsal at the comfort room. Well I know exactly that I already understand my report.

“Now I’m prepared “ I told my self , then our professor ask my group to deliver the report so as a spokesman I deliver it , I know that my classmates already understand it well in fact they always nod and nod as an approval. After that we reach the question and answer portion, one of my classmates ask a question and with confident I answer it and explain it deeply. Furthermore they had another question, in the middle of my explanation my teacher with a sarcastic voice “What are you talking all about?” and I feel like an ice in the middle of the desert ,and my classmates eyes flashing like big question mark (BIG ?).Wow, great! I told my self what a joke and what a jerk.” Now I have to talk” I told my self, I reply immediately with a calm voice saying” we are talking about the…….” And I congratulate my self in protecting my pride without the help of others. Finally I smile with pride to my teacher and to my classmates and they smile as an approval.

LESSON: Always trust to your knowledge and have a self confidence to fight for your own world view no matter what happens.
