How San Beda Gave Me A College Twist

"My 17th day of being a Bedista. Oh yeah, everthing's changed. The life that I'm having here is so much different with what I had in Mapua..."

Driving, I have said, is not that hard, so to speak. Unluckily for me, that opinion has changed as well. Crap! It's really a must to step on the gas so as to make my 30-minute promise. Like, when I was still driving to Makati, I normally leave the house 5 mins. before the time. Now, it has to be 1 hour before the time. La lang. Just to avoid the uncertain traffic and all. Good thing ayos ang parking ko sa loob. Kahit nanliliit sasakyan ko sa mga sasakyan nila. WHAT I LEARNED: Punctuality. Oo noh! Di na ko late ngayon. Promise. Well unlike in Mapua. I was always 10 mins. late. Lol. Days straight!

Prayers. "Pray for us thing", "That in all things, God may be glorified." Those are never forgotten in San Beda. It has to be a part of each class. So to say, I'm now in a Catholic School and everybody is sensitive when it comes to holiness. Hayun! Kahiya kahapon. I was asked to pray in our Psychology class. Inisip ko talaga, pano yun! Di ako Catholic. (for your info, I'm a Born Again Christian, Proud.) Then it went this way... Tinitigan ko lang sila muna. Didn't know how to start like they waited for 10 seconds before I finally murmured.. "In the name of.." Nakahinga din. Natapos ang pagdadasal at hindi ko masabi yung name ni St. Benedict.. Nakatitig lang sila and nagtataka.. I just said "That in all things.." Whew!.. Anyway, I now have a theo class people! WHAT I LEARNED: Enhanced holiness through my Theo teacher who discusses the lessons fairly. La kasing theology classes sa Mapua e, since nagmamadali.

Slippers, shorts, pants, t-shirts... The things that I wear are not even worn now for school.. Thanks to the uniform! MAKAKATIPID NA DAW SI MOMMY SA PAGBILI NG DAMIT! WAHAHA! ASA! Pero thank you sa mga pumupuri sa uniform ko. Ehem. Bagay daw sakin. ATA! Lol. WHAT I LEARNED: Simplicity and Being thrifty. ASA TALAGA!

Duguan ng ilong. Uso pala sa San Beda yun. Even pag nagbiro sila, in English. HAHAHA! Lalo na nung sa Marketing. Grabe. Parang may program pag nagrerecite. Read: "Markateing ace impowtant in the baseness." Shoot! Ganung accent. Lakas! Swempre nagrerecite din ako. In english. Pero walang accent no! :D WHAT I LEARNED: La lang. Sosyalan. Ayos. HAHAHAHA!

Sige wala lang akong magawa e. Gagawin ko nalang homework ko. Alam mo na. Kahit minors dito kelangan seryosohin. Shoot. Daming ginagawa. Sige. Ingat. :D

Misunderstanding

So Donnel and I already talked few days back. I'm posting here to clear things out. Donnel requested for this which I think is really fair enough.I'm announcing this to the public. It's fine now and I'm sure that he's gonna go on with his own life now.

Firstly, I got several comments from my previous post about the dilemma that I had with Donnel. I apologize for his friends to think that I could have not posted our conversation that we had in YM. That wasn't to humiliate him but it was regarded as a means of closure for the fight which did go differently to some of the readers of my blog.

You would, I suppose, understand a guy like for me for posting something like that... 'Cause first of all, it wasn't a simple hit for me... My personal life has been involved with it which I think was fully unethical. I'm kinda glad that, according to Donnel, he just had inquiries... Meaning, he just asked one of my friends about the things that he was supposing in his mind and not spread the thoughts that he had had. So different to what I thought. To what I said, regarding the "certified by one of his friends". All of which were information that I've gotten through my Mapuan friend who had talked to Lovely.

Bottomline... I'm doing this because I don't want to be classified as a person who loves to have enemies. I just love emo music.. That's it. So as to the tagline "Make good music, not war." Nonetheless, fighting isn't my thing. There are lots of things that will definitely make you busy. Study, any good stuff.. That would clearly make one be a YUPPY ( Young Urban Professional.)

As a Transferee

“Where? Not La Salle! And so not UP as well. Ohhhhh… Why not the second best right now in the CPA Board Exam? SAN BEDA!”

There are lots of anxieties that a transferee student like me has to face as he moves out of his old academe. Honestly, I didn’t know ‘til I decided to alter things for a better me. It did give me repeated nights of pressure and all the like just to choose which exciting school to enter. So then on, I thought of pursuing my current course and having the idea means that if I’d really like to opt the option to transfer, then it has to be a school that has, perhaps, the best system for that program.

I was in the moment of truth. Sometime in 2nd week of October, after two days of having thoughts of transferring, we, Iris, Erika, and I, visited San Beda just to try our lucks out. It turned out at the end of the day that we were half-decided half-not. We went back to Mapua and learned that we hafta cancel the enrollment and get refund ‘til the second week or pay the whole tuition and leave if it was cancelled beyond the second week. So though we were 20% reluctant, we decided to go for it. The anxieties went in like flood just after that. Loads of requirements had to be made though. It was like we were having Amazing Race from San Beda to Mapua and Mapua to San Beda. Professors, who were our second mothers, talked to us regarding us transferring to another school. We saw our friends cry as we bid our farewells and let them understand that our group has no end, we would still meet. It was a promise.

Regrets went by to say its hellos. The rest was history. It’s like it was to test me or like hit my adversity quotient. There, I already proved that I’m fierce and strong when it comes to that. It’s a bit shameful to say that I’ve taken the DLSUCET twice just to pursue my course in that school. The first try was a failure and so was the last try. BS Accountancy in La Salle, perhaps, won’t fit me. So they say… Oh factual, I did pass a liberal arts course but not Accountancy which was really my only condition to transfer. So to that, it was still considered a failure. Giving me like another course from their Liberal Arts won’t gain my mom’s affirmation. (For your information, Mom only knows one course and its only Accountancy.)

Mom told me that it’s not for me. Oh yeah, I guess it really wasn’t for me. It was a bit depressing though. There I said “it WAS” and never will be a part of me now. Good thing that I have these people around me who give me driving force. They are my family, friends, past professors, you, and God. Thanks to them. So now, I found what’s really meant for me… It is to be a Bedista and yeah, and still take Accountancy. It’ll always be a part of me, right MOM?

Corporate Social Responsibility - Better Off Through Helping

I. Breakout Session on BPOs and CSR (July 17, day 2, Makati Shangri-La Hotel)

BPOs and CSR: “Addressing the Industry’s Unique Needs through CSR”

II. The session discussed how BPOs address unique challenges and issues faced by the industry through CSR programs. Several CSR programs of companies were discussed to somehow inform the public of how these kinds of CSR activities make an impact in the society.

Moderator: Ms. Catherine Ileto- BPA/P

Speakers: Ms. Beth Lui- Country Managing Director - Accenture

Mr. Dan Reyes – President - Sitel

Ms. Josie B. Gonzalez- Executive Director – Spi

III. I have had a different thinking towards Corporate Social Responsibility before. I thought of it as a way in which companies use just to strengthen their company name and to be known by many. I also asked during one of our Business Ethics classes if it’s possible for businesses to make abuse of the CSR just to be on the top. Good thing that I was able to attend the expo the following day. I completely understood what CSR is really intended for and what it really is. If I were not able to do it, perhaps, until now I still have that kind of obnoxious attitude towards CSR.

To be honest, I was not really aware about how big deal CSR is for an organization. I thought joining, let’s say for example, Gawad Kalinga is just a form of recreation and team-building. As what I have learned, CSR is being taken into action not just to improve corporate image of a certain company, increase sales, etcetera, but also companies do it with a heart and with intention of helping people.

The three speakers were really informative and enticing. They really captured my attention as they showed each of their CSR initiatives. Like, I hold to my seat impressed of how they were able to think of such. I really appreciated their CSR programs since, as learned, choosing everything for your CSR is a hard thing to do. Among them, I was so astonished with Ms. Beth Lui’s presentation. Hearing the name of your school as one of their first priorities for employment in Accenture was really good to hear to think that we are the second, next to La Salle, exceeding UP, Ateneo, and UST. Not just that, I really liked their initiatives to support the Barobaybay Academy, Samar. The idea behind “Maong para Makatulong” was a smart one. Accenture employees have been allowed to wear “maong jeans” every Friday with a fee of 50 pesos. To that, they were able to raise 1.7 million to sustain the expenses for the project. Another thing with Accenture that impressed me was their Project UMAK. They gave a set of IT curriculum to University of Makati. This will be a huge help with Makati’s aim to maintain the 97% literacy and helpful as well to those students who are incapable of paying for tertiary education in private universities.

Doing good should not only be seen in the CSR programs. It is therefore prevalent in the daily course of every business. CSR programs are not made to impress but its core is to share a part of the company’s heart. It is about the willingness of the company, and itself, as the amorous giver, extending its loving arms to the people in need in its area of responsibility, or better, to the whole society.

My Top 10 Bands

Hey there!

I just want to share some of my favorite bands. There is this little chance that you would also love them. X_X Take some time to listen to these awesome bands. (Genre: Mostly Emo / Screamo / Punk )

10. Crossfade.

I knew that I downloaded this like so before. Just this month, I realized that they are actually great. The band sounds like AlternRock. But it's really emo with some screams in some songs. Songs contain pain for the self and the stuff-a-like. Lol. Try these songs: Invincible, So Far Away, Cold.

9. Quietdrive.

Just discovered it in Limewire just days ago. I so love most of their songs. My favorite, so far, is Bothways.

8. Matchbook Romance.

Tigerlily and the Promise are my favorites here. Keith introduced the band to me. Thanks! If you have just broken up with someone, try to listen to this band. X.X Sure it will help you kill. X.X

7. Mayday Parade.

This band is love. In case you don't know, I play the Piano and Guitar. I know by heart their songs Miserable at Best and Three Cheers for Five Years.

6. A Static Lullaby.

Screamo. Screamo. Screamo.

I love the way they scream. Really. Realy. Try these songs.. The Shooting Star that Destroyed Us All, Love to Hate, Hate to Me and The Art Of Sharing Lovers.

5. Underoath.

Perfect. Speechless. Another screamo band. Love the songs In Regards To Myself and Writing on the Walls.

4. Acceptance.

Acceptance never fails to change my mood. It's a band to turn to when you feel really stressed. Try Different and Cry for Help.

3. FM Static.

Got really surprised when my ex-prospect plugged her iPod and played the songs of this band in a party. I still love her. Just her. To that, it made this band really important to me. I love the songs Hey Now, Moment of Truth, and Tonight.

2. Daphne Loves Derby.

Hopeless Love, Midnight Highway, Part of My Past, and The Longest Story. Just listen to this to find out... Of course the band is really nice! That's why it is my second love. :)

1. Secondhand Serenade.

Not surprised? So do I. Everybody loves Secondhand Serenade. Like? I memorized all their songs. My most favorite is... I don't know. I love all their songs.

----

Got so many bands here in my iPod. Anyway, I am not EMO. You might think I am because I listen to these songs. X.X

Immoral and Uneducated Guy in the Bus.

Sorry if this would appear a bit short, I am so tired, dry, and sleepy. I just want to share what happened to me just earlier this freaking night.

So after participating at the revision of every crappy load in my school, my tropa, and together with the I, decided to go to Mall of Asia then make a little tambay at Armand's house. Oh kei, we all loved the fact that we were given the chance to make tambay after not being able to see each other for jurassic years already since the end the controversial third term. We ate Pancit Canton, courtesy of our mommy Aleizza, and drank Chinese-style Iced tea, that was especially made by Armand. After all the siestas and the stuff, it's four and we just did what we've been planning to do.

Atcha's Grill... Infinit was exceptional and so did the Mindoro Sling... Alright, I so gotta admit that the Hotshots drink was a bit deficient. Yuuuck. It tasted like ewan. Hours later, we decided to practice.. Ohhhhh..

Darkness, shadows, and rays of light embraced the surrounding... which signaled us that it's the perfect time to go home. Ohhhh, I'm a person who is so used to go home alone... and I hadn't had any thoughts that I might face obnoxious people along the way. Iris and Aleizza took a bus ride heading to EDSA which was so out of my way. And theeeen, I took the one going to LRT Buendia. The bus, that appeared to be kind of neat and well-ventilated, was assumingly safe. Well, not.

The SO-FAR freakiest situation I faced..

I was sitting at the last five rows at the back where passengers like me relaxed and waiting. People who were really unfamiliar started to get-off the bus in front of the Caltex Station just meters away from my destination when a man, looking suspicious, untidy, who at first was glancing at the back took the seat adjacent ( right side, I was on the left side) to where I was sitting. I was shocked when HE STARTED TO UNBUTTON HIS PANTS AND PLAYED HIS OWN "CENSORED"... He was hugely staring at me like he wanted me to do it with him. HELL NOOO! At his first strokes, I planned not to pay any attention, though such is pretty automatic, since I was really near to my destination. At last! I was going down when he covered his with an untidy and horrible work-bag and blocked my way out. Unlucky for me, he pushed me back to my seat and sat right next to me. Seconds had passed, he pointed something like a bread knife at my lower abdomen. I was really uneasy and didn't know what to do and all I found that I could use was my brilliant facial gestures so people could help me out. Still, the man hadn't stopped doing an icky thing. So I did react, the kuya conductor, perhaps, realized that something wrong was going on. He went towards us, and thank goodness, the mad man concealed his knife with his bag and covered his *censored* with his white shirt under a yellow polo. It was the chance for me to either run to the front or tell the incident to the bus conductor. The craziest guy I ever encountered stood up and transferred to the seat on the other side since he realized that the conductor was coming. I hurridly stood and whispered the words "Thank you kuya for saving me" to the kuya conductor. He said in fast verses, "ingat sa susunod." Hellll, I saw the mad man did get-off at exactly the same location where I was at. Good thing I never felt he was there, I was safe, I was in front of La Salle where busy people, including policemen, students like me, etc., were walking. It was really traumatic! I am really thankful that God did not allow something bad to happen.

God is with me

Why does suicide a common thing amongst teenagers? Would you be considered as an emo after you have cut yourself, or worse, kill yourself? That's stupid. Very stupid.

You know what my dear friend? Do not be deceived by the murmurs of the demons. They always seize advantage out of our every action. Our God, who gave us life, does not want to see His child having thoughts of such.

I was really shocked when I found myself having thoughts of ending my life. I felt really dumb. To clear myself, I thought of which just ONCE after my mom and aunt got mad on me. I know I wasn't myself during that time because I know the fact that I am not a pessimist or a crazy and freak guy. Then I came to read a very sweet article which is my last blog entry here in multiply. I then thought that, I will still have FUN but I would be really strict with my limits. Subsequent to that and after God healed my heart once again, I found myself in the stillness, quiet and calm. I prayed to Him.

I hope every teen would do the same thing if they think they are about to break down. Seek God because He is always there for us. He has seen us through the seasons and yet, He remains faithful to us. I'm glad that God is really working on my life.

Almost Dead

I don't know why I am still kicking despite the fact that my third term has been so arduous. Management, Philosophy and Economics are hell for me recently. Expectations run still. My mom would kill me if I got a grade lower than 2. Sigghhhhhh. College really makes me look older and older and older and older..

My Problems...

• 1 3 5 grade in Management. Those who are excellent will get a grade of 1. Those who are mediocres will get 3. I don't mind the 5 because I know that I will pass no matter what. I just want to get out of the hell in Management with a ONE.
• Heavy assignments given by my Professor in Macroeconomic who is a very experienced one from New York. Sure thing, the answers are really hard to find. Book and other references are not relevant. I always read deep so as to find the answers to his questions.
• The heck in Philosophy. I got 4 in the first quiz, 2.5 in second quiz, and perhaps, a flunk in the midterm. I don't understand why I am in a hard time remembering those names and their philosophies.

And many many many many many moreeeeeeee. . . God help me. . .

Hi 2008!

“A resolution would mean, "The process or act of resolving a problem or a firm decision to do something." – Webster’s Dictionary”

When I was a kid, it seemed that as if I really have to wait for an eternity to end just for New Year to get nearer. Now that I am much older, and busy enough, it seems that the months just fall off the calendar, getting rid of the lengthiness of summer and bringing a new year earlier. Each year, most of the people think of invariable changing of their lives academically, physically and emotionally. Indubitably, making a New Year’s Resolution is sure a big aid. In verity, writing down your goals that you exaggeratedly covet is as likeable as taking down notes for future reference, so to speak.

It has been a habit for me to create a list of my resolutions every year to add challenge to my life. Not only that! My main objective apiece year is to correct or change the things I suppose I had mistakenly done in the previous year. Year 2007 was in no doubt an erroneous blast and as anticipated, I was able to achieve 60% of my previous resolution. It is categorically different from others who are always unable to carry out the things they promised to change.

My main resolution for this year is my lifestyle. I have had this assumption that an individual would fully encounter all the endless possibilities once you are already in college. I would divulge that I have been a party bloke last year due to some discoveries, which was not me in the majority of my early years. Every sip of Vodka and the stuff is controllable. What I like about myself is that I am aware of moderation, that doing such is applied to each and every activity I supposedly have. Yes, I do not opt to change that because as explained to my parents, that is how I spell fun. I know that I am dependable enough and I would never take advantage of the freedom of which my parents have given me. Though I am having fun most of the time, I, myself, know that I discern my confines and my responsibilities to my affable education, wacky friends, supportive parents, bulging society, and most especially, to our Redeemer.

Second to my main promise, is my recurrent depression that I have fully wanted to overcome. The fact that there is no huge dilemma at all but I am completely down and unrepressed. For that, I bet that this has been stress. Another thing that I do not want to forget is my study habit. As what I have just held, I know my tasks to accomplish. One of which is to finish College with recognition. I just want to make sure that I am completely focused in my entire stay in the institution I am currently enrolled at. With the assist of the people who have been at my side, I can, without doubt, achieve it.

So far, those are the things that are on my mindset now. I strongly deem that I would not have to wait for a new year to draw closer to promise or alter things. Resolutions can be made anytime and wherever. People do change everyday, and I am into the process of changing each and everyday as I make decisions. If you have seen something wrong and unlikeable with yourself, change it right away. Do not wait for that moment wherein you have been fully regretful of it. Perhaps, others do have an outlook that changing is to be done only in the New Year. I fret not.
