Dearie friends, This is a repost of Renz Bulseco's post . It was a Friendster bulletin of one of Renzy's friends. (Happy Anniversary to your blog pala , Renzy! :-D ) Anong student number mo? 2007-***** (Can't tell...for security reasons) Anong first choice course mo? My first choice course/degree program I wrote in UP's Form 1 (UPCAT Application Form) was BA English in UP Mindanao. Second choice mo? BS Computer Science, UP Mindanao (*My second choice campus is UP Visayas-Cebu. I chose BS Psychology (Hello, Sir Raffy Sanchez!).) Anong course mo ngayon? BS Computer Science in UP Mindanao (I just love InfoTech!) Nag-shift ka ba? Nope. I love CompSci! It's great to be an I.T. Isko! Naka Dorm ka ba? Yup. I have stayed in UP Min's Elias B. Lopez Dormitory. Gusto mo bang mag-Dorm? Definitely yes. It's because it practices my discipline. Living in EBL means a lot of discipline and a strong spirit to overcome odds: clogged toilets, water interruptions, busted electri...

Dearest friends, October is about to end and I still have many thoughts in mind. All this semestral break, I have done these kinds of things: 1. Being a couch potato. Watching CNN, Venta5, HSN, and Pinoy Big Brother gave me some kind of entertainment while I'm home. (lol) 2. Being a house boy... I mean ...home boy. Being away from my home in Buhangin, Davao City studying (and staying) in UP Mindanao in Mintal, Tugbok District, Davao City for almost 2-1/2 months, at least, made me miss home - doing chores, attending errands, playing over Hero (our pet dog), enjoying life with my family. Here in this semestral break, I did these things, although problems arise that make some misunderstandings, and (I've acted quite lazy seldomly) . 0:-) 3. Being close to my Alma Mater, Colegio de San Ignacio. CDSI has become a part of me. Not only it is closer to home, this institution moulded me on what I am today. Now, I am giving them my helping hand. I attended some school events there - th...

Dear Friends, It's another time of blogging. Here are some blog news for you: Renz Bulseco blogged about how he made his semestral break enjoyable . (Interesting, ha!) Tina Suelto has GRADUATED and will be out of blogging in a period of time. Mikko Gonzalo blogged about increasing blog traffic. I was interested on KC Concepcion's commercial stint in ABS-CBN's Boto Mo, Ipatrol Mo! Campaign for the 2007 Barangay and SK (Sangguniang Kabataan) Elections. This will surely bring out more of the campaign on youth movement on the elections. Anyways, these were the things I did during the first half of the semestral break (and my way to entertain myself): Watching TV and tuning in to CNN . (I got bored of local free TV that I got so interested watching CNN. I wonder why I got so entertained on breaking news, weather reports and specials...blah, blah...) Do social networking and blogging whenever I step into an Internet café . (This is where I pour out my expressionism.) Eat what...

Dear friends, It's mid-October and I am still uncertain about my grades on the following subjects: SSP4 (Social, Economic and Political Thought) AH3 (Effective Speech Communication) MST1 (Foundations of Natural Science 1 (Chemistry & Physics)) MST3 (Mathematics for General Education) I mean, I still don't have the classcards on all my GE subjects (except SSP2 (Asia and The World)), therefore I'm still uncertain on my GWA (general weighted average)... I will get the other classcards during the Registration Period on November 5-12, 2007. To update you on my grades, here they are below: MATH17 (College Algebra and Trigonometry) [5 units] - 2.50 SSP2 (Asia and The World) [3 units] - 2.75 PE1 (Foundations of Physical Fitness) *it is not counted in the GWA* [(2) units] - 1.50 I wanna go back to UPMin to settle matters... Check my debts in my ILC/LRC account Return the key to my previous room in EBL Dormitory Know the payments for the next semester Get the classcards of my ot...

Dear Friends, The First Semester of the Academic Year 2007-2008 has finally ended. It is now the Semestral Break . It is finally a time to rest for a while, while another semester comes by. I checked my acquainted bloggers: Renz Bulseco shared his experiences on that semester ... (nice, boy!) Ate Tina Suelto met Dr. Lim Siow Jin, the owner of DXN Pharma, in Malaysia (truly Asia...) Mikko Gonzalo shares his insights on the Pacquiao-Barrera fight, and Dengue . (well, that's about it for a while...) Renz just commented on the CBox. He said that I'll be careful for MST4... and my layout's too early for X-Mas. (blah-blah) Well, Renzy Benzy, I should have taken MST2(NaSc2) or MST6, but due that these MST subjects closed during the pre-registration period (*I was late in pre-registering.), MST4 was the remaining open subject. Just for the sake of "challenging" myself, I signed in for this subject. However, this regular registration period by November, I will try to ca...

It's another month everyone! Now, let's read another astro forecast from MSN Astrology! Cancer On the first day of the month, Cancer, you'll be ambitious and take pride in your accomplishments. The Moon in your sign on October 2 will increase your feelings of satisfaction, but over the next few days you'll be thrown off track by social commitments and a restless energy. On October 7 and 8 you'll be ready to get things done. Hard work will be a challenge but not daunting. A New Moon in Libra on October 11 will give you the opportunity this month to begin to relax more and connect with friends. As of October 12 it will be easy to overlook something important, and misunderstandings may arise, so listen to your intuition and stay on top of important matters for the rest of the month. A relationship will get serious on October 13. Express deep feelings and thoughts to someone close on October 16. You'll work hard on October 17 to 19, and put your heart into whatever ...
