This ain't for the Superstitious.

If you believe in chain mails and hate passing them on, feel free to stop reading now. ACTUALLY NO, KEEP READING

I really don't believe chain mails. This one tells you something about Chinese astrology and if you won't repost/forward it you will have bad luck. Even though it says it comes from the 35 year old book, there's something about the wording and language usage that tells me the whole bad luck thing is a bunch of bullcrap on a stick, trust me. But if you still believe that stuff, by all means stop now. To quote Kenot from who's blog I got this from:
"I'm posting this because I want to share it, not to pass it. Feel free not to repost to your blogs or whatever."

If not for the unbelievably flattering accuracy of my zodiac description, I wouldn't have post this.Hahaha. Find yours and see if it's flatteringly accurate as well.

Interview with a DS Major

I'm seriously starting to regret my committing to alot of things. This afternoon seems to be a foreshadowing of things to come. My CRC meeting clashed with Gawad General Assembly and apparently the cheer rally, all of which I wanted to attend. CRC took priority of being the first. Now it seems schedules will be swamping me throughout the year. I guess I'll have to pick up the technique of "picking which battles to fight" or I'll seriously get smothered by extracurriculars. Losing focus on my academics is something I can't afford to do.

It was a rather interesting time in the CRC meeting. By the way CRC stands for Coral Reefs Champions, the volunteer arm of the Institute of Social Order. I participated in their seminar in Camarines last October. Apparently it wasn't a one time stint. Now were called the "core volunteers" that will spearhead the next stage of ISO-CRC operations (Or that's what I understood our job description will be). It seems we'll be taking on a task bigger than ourselves. We were talking about ISO operations in Quezon, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur, different NGO tie-ups, meeting with local volunteers and fund-raising activities. Daunting as I see it, but rewarding. I might get to see Camarines again and more.

I was surprised that, of all the other volunteers for CRC might be, the ones there were a bunch of DS majors. There were 8 of us, Ate Jaya, Kuya Lemarc, Mikey and me, the ones who went to Camarines last year and 4 other DS majors. I was surprised to know that they had served with ISO already and that they are more active than we are. Our Camarines stay was only 3 days. 2 of them stayed for a month.

I haven't really had much contact with the DS family. I'm more in touch with the ES majors with all my environmental affairs. Now I get to meet a bunch of them in the least likely place I would expect. It's great to meet them and all, but with that my distinction of being the only DS-ES cross (to my knowledge) is lost. I'm not unique anymore again. Haha.

Changes

I have absolutely no talent concerning picking color schemes or anything about design. Or coding for that matter. So I need some feed back on the changes I made on my this here blog. Like are the color text and background combinations painful to the eyes? Also if you can give a tip on coding blogspot that would be helpful. I like to put back my old star scape background but I don't know how do it.

---
I have 4 applications to fill up tonight. ESS Finance AVP, ALAC, Gawad Kalinga and DevSoc applications form. Oh there is also the CRC they are calling us for on Friday. I hope this lot of extra-curricular orgs will fill in the relatively light academic load I seem to have that is very unexciting. Barring sudden shifts in subject matter or teaching styles, the only problem subject I can foresee is Socio-Anthro and perhaps Theo. The rest can be done with minimal effort.

Extracurriculars is what gives spice to my college life, and what probably saves me from going insane with the monotony of academics and being bored to death at the same time.

NSTP

Yesterday's NSTP orientation was just...useless. A poor recreation of ORSEM that only made us sit through 2 hours of heat trying to teach us something we have already assumed as the main job of NSTP. Aside from ordering our NSTP t-shirts, it was all a big fuss for something that could have been done in a classroom. As least that way we'll have fans

After that, I went with Julius and did the usual McDota routine - Eat first at Mcdo and play DotA, or the other way around; an old high school tradition. We were chatting in Mcdo when I spot a cute girl two tables over with a guy. I actually prolonged our conversation because I cannot bring myself to get up and go home even though it was already getting late. And all the while I was thinking she was there with this guy having fun and I'm here sitting with Julius talking about why we lost the game. Then it hit me; I'll never get a girlfriend this way. Sure it's fun to hang around with Julius, at least I have company, but I usually have to sacrifice the rest of my time and attention,that sometimes I feel like I'm suddenly cut-off from the rest of the world. The occasional man-date with Julius is fine and all, but dammit I need a girlfriend.

Today I had one of the most fun days I had for quite a while. It was with my friends after the cotillion practice for a debut this Saturday. We had fun talking around a table each with a plate of spaghetti, sharing old stories, making fun of each other, making jokes and just plain laughing our hearts out with every comment. It feels like I'm back in high school, and having fun like the good ol' days, the kind I never have in college. Ateneo has a more 'mature' kind of fun. Well, I am in college now, so I have to accept that.

I have a cute partner for the cotillion. It's funny though cuz 2 of my friends have taken a liking to her and vice versa. I know this cuz I'm an expert at reading body language - how come? Because that's what you learn at just staring at women for long periods of time. Anyway, my point in saying this is that I find it funny that they're forming this crush-triangle with each other while I'm the partner of the cute girl. Ain't it supposed to be me who's part of the triangle and not out of the loop, er, corners?

2nd Year has begun!

Actually me being a sophomore has started yesterday, but being so tired I decided to put off posting until tonight. Actually, I'm also tired tonight - maybe its that biodisk taking effect on me. Lol Julius.

Anywho, in a nutshell this is my take on my 1st sem as a second year student (Oh God time flies so fast make it stop. I don't want to grow yet that fast.) Sched's a drag, but I can't really complain once I compare that to my friends that are taking Nursing - 7 to 7 classes in a single classroom with only a short break. I should consider myself lucky (So should you).

As for my profs and subjects I already got a good first impression off them I think. I can't tell whether my Economics professor is good or not, but I can tell it will be hard to listen to her. History will be fun even though it's Asian, I expect this will be an easy B (ehhemm..) from our young freshly graduated teacher. Apparently self-defense PE class translates to Muay Thai (Thai kick boxing for those who don't know) which means we will be taught to defend ourselves wearing expensive mini-shorts.

Our Theo class has shown itself to be interesting. Fr. Roche comes highly recommended and with his introductory philosophizing I believe this course will be both challenging and fulfilling. What I fear is that Julius will engage him in a theological debate that will give Fr. Roche a heart attack in frustration. We will see tom if I'm right.

French = Fun. I know I'll love that course even if they give tons of requirements. Fil is... I dunno. I'm not a big fan Filipino. Our teacher is very gay though, it both sense of the word, and I don't quite see yet how will that translate into the course. And lastly our SA teacher appears to know what see is talking about, problem is we cannot hear what she is talking about. Tons of readings too.

First impressions in a nutshell. Quite a wordy nutshell
