Last night, astring-o-sol held its awards night for the organizations that joined the party-making contest in Eastwood Libis. Since Aisec was able to qualify for the finals and I was tasked as the team leader for games, I had to attend that event. Most of the Aisecers that went were seniors and I was the only male undergrad who went. When the female undergrads finally went home, I had the chance to bond with the male seniors of aisec. Like any other guy talk, we ended up talking about girls.One aisecer mentioned that if you wanna ask a girl out, just say "Wanna go out?This Saturday?If she says yes, then ok. If no, there are other girls to go after." Another senior said that "Mga 3rd year, gurang na iyan. Mga 4th year, laspag na iyan.Masarap iyong mga freshmen at sophomores." Another senior responded "That's the difference with younger students e, maraming pakeme-keme, if 3rd year or 4th year, make out agad, they'll be the one to ask for it pa." I wasn't actually shocked with what they said,in fact , I even got more excited with college!hehe |

Last Monday, while I was sparring for taekwondo class, I accidentally blocked
a kick with a downward block ( a no,no for sparring).During the spar, I actually didn't feel anything weird in my hand. But when the spar ended, I noticed something bulging in my left hand. I approached our coach and I was sent to Moro for first aid. I had my hand X-rayed and it turned out that my 4th metacarpal in my left hand got broken. Finally, last friday, I had my left hand operated wherein they placed a metal plate in the fracture. Technically speaking, I am now an "Iron Fist"!hehe |

| DLSU against ateneo |

Yesterday, I went to Launch Party by BMS DLSU. I was supposed to join the contest in the party but my team end up being disqualified because one of our member didn't arrive on time. I went there at around 730 since I was expecting to join the contest but the party started at around 830 so I had to wait for an hour alone in a DLSU party. I end up watching people roaming around and saw significant differences among DLSU and ADMU people. Most people from DLSU are hot. Most girls from DLSU do know how to dress well and carry themselves very well unlike the geeky girls from ateneo. As I entered the party, I saw booths giving away free stuff and people piling up in the booze section waiting to get their share of alcohol. Throughout the night people were talking to different sets of people and the party ended with most people dancing not unlike the parties I've been to by ADMU. Ateneans are smart and nicey-nicey people, but DLSU throws the best parties. |

Yesterday, Aisec held it's first big scale pajama party.For the party, I was tasked to lead the games team and unfortunately I had to think of games, coordinate with the sponsors involved, look for,allocate and keep the prizes, handle the materials for games, schedule the games, look for contestants and finally award the prizes. As a leader, I had to depend on my members which unfortunately are friends. One member of mine just kept on disobeying me and pursued her own plans. She even convinces the rest of the group and I end up doing things
either on my own or over-depending on some people that are worth working with. Also, I had to encounter getting sponsor given insufficient time because ideally, sponsors should contacted 2 months before the event, not 2 weeks. What's sad about the event is that out of the five games that we prepared, we ended up doing only 2 because the games were scheduled after the fashion show which unfortunately either bored the people or was scheduled too late in the evening all. All in all, the experience sucked, but am sure glad it happened. |

Just a while ago, I went to Lara Tan-Go's 1st birthday party. Since she is the heiress of the Go's of Surpicio Lines, a ferry company, and of the Tan's of PAL,the most powerful airline company in the country,I was not surprised that the party will be a bang. It was held in Lucio Tan's Century Park hotel and various stores like Starbucks and Buy-the-bucket had their own slots giving away free stuff. The famous magician,Lu Helerio, performed while people were eating pecking duck, crabs, Buddah soup and other delicacies the hotel restaurant is known for. Then it hit me, some people are just too lucky to be born that rich. |

For this week, I have learned that looks does matter. Ever since I tried fixing how I look, it seems that people, particularly strangers, seem to treat me differently. People seem nicer than before and girls do flirt more. It came to me that there is one problem that I cannot solve simply by ignoring it. It is acne. No matter what I do, there seems to be no solution for this "disease" that I have. So technically, for now, I'm burdened with 8 major problems in life...and it's all in my head...my face actually. |

For this week, I have learned to feel a hint of sympathy.Just this morning, me and other aisec people went to ephesus, a home for physically and sexually abused girls. Throughout the trip, I was wondering why the girls need their own private home because they're just in the province anyway. We arrived and I was surprised with how the girls reacted. The girls were more than hospitable than any person I know.They treated us more than just guests and considered us as if we were don and donas. Then I was shocked the one of the girls suddenly just hugged me out of nowhere. And then she gave this look, the same as those of a dog who had just broken his limb. To my surprise, I got disturbed and for me, that's a start. |

For this week, I have learned the importance of prioritizing. Last Thursday, I have been working on my take home Lit exam. When I was able to accomplish two-thirds of the exam, I decided to sleep since it's already past 12 and I have 2 hours of break after my INTAC class the following day. The next day,during INTAC, it was announced that we have a free cut for ES thus adding an hour more for me to finsh my take home test and study for the written test that was supposed to be given that afternoon.When I tried to open that file in another, it turns out that the diskette that I used doesn't work with the computer in the Ateneo Computer Labs. And so, I decided to go home and open the file in my personal computer. Unfortunately, the problem was not the computers in school but the diskette that I used so I ended up doing my take home test right from the start. When I was able to REdo 2/3 of my take home test, I glanced upon my wall clock and was forced to decide whether to cut math or not. I ended up with the first option and was able to finish my take home long test. After that, I ended up in a 1-hour traffic which gave me no choice but to cram an 8-page lesson while waiting for the other cars to move. |

For this week, I have realized that there is one consistent trend in college life, email trafficking. For the past few weeks, I have been joining orgs and the more I join orgs, the more my email account gets flooded by meeting announcements, contact lists, activity schedules, apologies and junk. Just today, I have received 40 new messages from org heads, department heads, org members and other web resource people. I'm sure people like me who have the luxury to spend time viewing mails this much won't have a problem coping up with this trend, but what will happen to the people who don't have access to this resource? Now that's something people in college should think about. |

In about three hours, it'll be my birthday. I am just surprised with what I am feeling right now. I feel as if nothing is special about tomorrow. I feel that a new year will just come and go and be forgotten. I feel that there's nothing new-- no new issues,new disappointments,achievements, and my love is still the same as then, non-existent. I feel as if there's nothing to look forward to and there's still no sense of living. In about three hours, I'll grow old but not grow-up. |

For the fifth week of college, I managed to encounter two major disappointments in my life. One being academic, and the other being social. There seems to be no significance for those two bad news because I'm not even sure if they are really worthy to be called disappointments. True, that they may lead to a possible failure in the future or they failure themselves but upon receiving these two bad news, I haven't felt the loneliness if being in the situation. There's a part of me that's genuinely happy that I failed because it argues that sacrificing one thing leads to a gain of another. I'm actually worried,not because of the bad news that supposed to disturb me,but because of the happiness that haunts me. I'm afraid of the part of me that believes in "Fate." |

For the fourth week of college, I've learned another lesson about people and dealing with them. Like the first entry, I would try to make the subject plural or collective, though I've had this realization due to an experience with one person but this time different from that of the first entry. Some people are just too ambitious that they end up like social-climbers. They feel as if they are of high authority and claim that they are of good credibility in terms of fashion,style,trends and anything that involves socializing with the so called elites of this society. Some people would try to elevate themselves from the average person though they are the most common of the common. Some are even worse, they are merely wanna-be's and try to mask the truth by pretending to speak impecible english, wear "branded" clothes which in truth came from some "ukay-ukay" somewhere, brag about how great their hometowns are though it's just some barangay far from the glory of the metropolis. Some people are just too "FEELING" though in truth they suck. Some people are just to FEELING GOOD to be TRUE. As the first entry, I still have the same stand on how to deal with these kinds of people which is not to deal with them at all...as much as POSSIBLE. |

For the third week of college, I've learned another lesson about people and dealing with them. Like the first entry, I would try to make the subject plural or collective, though I've had this realization due to an experience with one person but this time different from that of the first entry. Some people are just too irrationally sensitive. They over-react without even carefully assessing the situation and act as if they have no fault at all. Some people will actually hate you because they are afraid to accept that there is something wrong with them. But there are some who have the opposite problem. Some people are just too bound by their word and so full of pride that they cannot simply apologize for what they've said though it is very evident that guilt is eating their very soul. Some people are afraid of the word "sorry" or the phrase "I made a mistake." As the first entry, I still have the same stand on how to deal with these kinds people which is not to deal with them at all. |

Two weeks of college has taught me one thing: people aren't what they seem to be. I don't want to point out someone specific, though I only learned this through one person, so I'll try as much as possible to make things plural or collective. There are some people that at first glance would seem shy, nice and fascinating but once you try to strike a conversation with them, their true color illuminates. You'll realize that they're actually rude or even worse, they're plastic. Some will seem "nicey-nicey", pretend that they're friendly and would even seem to they're willing to lend a hand but in truth they loathe you and they're annoyed with ever word you utter. Some people wouldn't even give you a hint or at least make an implication that there is tension between the both of you ,though it's not mutual, not because he/she cares about how you'd feel if you find out but because it would be disadvantageous for them to make the other party know that he/she is an enemy at all. Some would SECRETLY thrive to have some space by pretending that they don't exist, that they are invisible. There's only one thing you can with these kind of people; you just have to give them all the space that they want and be apathetic of them because they shouldn't matter AT ALL. |
