Ipo Dam Tree Planting Day with Benilde Students #UPMountaineers
Solo natin ang Pacific. Magbaon lamang ng mga alaala at sunblock. Tara na ba?
A secret place. Don't ask me where... I'll take you there instead. Basta libre mo haha
Feel good climb with the UPM Leegends Artist Romeo Lee, Pres. Ethel Fortuno, Master Chef Cherry Sun, VP @pia_morota and the great team of I-witness @jaytaruc (at Mt. Maculot)
Bakit ka umaakyat?
Bakit nga ba? Dati, naghahanap lamang ako ng sakit ng katawan. Ano kaya mayroon sa itaas ng isang bundok? Ano kaya ang pakiramdam pag ikaw na ay nakarating sa tuktok? Bakit ka pa magpapakahirap kung maganda na ang iyong kinalalagyan? Bakit nga ba? Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pumasok sa aking isipan at nawili ako dito. Siguro para makalimutan ang ibang bagay-bagay at panandaliang iwanan ang ingay ng lungsod. Maganda paminsan-minsan rin na subukin ang iyong kakayahan, Subukin ang iyong katatagan. Hindi madaling umakyat. Kailangan ng determinasyon at malusog na pangangatawan. Kung wala ka nito aba eh kalimutan mo nang tangkain pa. Maraming bagay ang dapat isaalang-alang kapag ikaw ay umaakyat. Aralin mo muna ito nang hindi maging mapanglaw ang isang magalak na isport. Ngunit bakit nga ba ako umaakyat? Hindi ko rin alam eh. Siguro sa tuwa. Siguro sa pagsasamahan. O siguro sa iyong makikita kapag nasa itaas ka na. Minsan nga, nung nasa tuktok ako ng Mt. Mangisi, Benguet, para sa induction ko sa U.P. Mountaineers kasama ang iba pang mga nagnanais maging miyembro, nakatingin kami sa papalubog na araw, naisip namin, "Siguro dahil dito." Siguro nga. photo taken by Madame Erica Salvador
2012 term-ender
It's funny because I call it a term, not sem. Four months of uncertainty. Four months of experimenting. My term started while I was applying for a mountaineering org. Hahaha. It was really crazy. Nagfifeeling sporty lang ako nung simula.
I was new to mountaineering. I had my first climb last March 2012, a day climb on Pico de Loro. Then, my second last April 2012, still a day climb on Mt. Maculot. Those were just pa-cool climbing; Nothing serious. Until I was invited to join that organization. Lahat nagulat. They were not expecting me to do things like these. They thought I won't stay long. Well, I was there to prove them wrong hahaha! And, siguro I was also there to do something crazy! It was a rainy Wednesday, the orientation for new students. I easily found new friends but little did I notice that the funny named, awkward looking guy there who when asked what was the funniest thing about him answered, "Itong itsura ko, hindi ba nakakatawa?" would be one of my closest friends. Then, the next day classes na agad. There was a long-haired guy who wanted to be my group mate. Kahit ayaw ko, nakakahiya naman LOL. Pero dahil dito, hindi ko naging group mate yung sexy na girl cause our other classmates joined the group. Turned out he plays Computer games too. Mahilig manlibre, kaya ayos maging kaibigan. Galante. Hahahaha! We toured around the SDA building. Date na kung date basta may kasama na agad hahaha. Pero bumili muna siya ng Milk Tea, paborito daw niya -Simple Line. Then we went to our next class. Usapang bibliya, the prof wasn't there. Free Cut! I didn't attend my first subject that Friday. It was Filipino, 8am class. But I was present for the 2nd subject, drawing. Unang pagbati palang pinasabak na agad ang aming galing. Medyo feel na feel ko pa nung una kasi feeling ko magaling ako mag-drawing Hahahaha! I remember those moments in my (other) college years, "Napakagaling mo mag-drawing, bakit di ka nalang magfine arts?" "Bakit di ka mag-architecture?" Hehehe. Pero nag-iba ang pagtanaw ko sa aking galing sa drowing nung nakilala ko na yung dalawang babaeng magkatabi sa isa kong klase. Quiet girls as if they're angels and kind. And a fashionable, shy-looking boy. Haha. Next class was a writing subject. I thought na it would be easy cause you see, I'm like Nicholas Sparks. Crazy class. Different courses. May isang palabiro na palakaibigan na nerd dun. At mga binata at dalagang galing sa dati kong paaralan. haha. I had a climb the next day (I guess) so I didn't attend my last subject. A subject full of sharing, reflecting, emoing, acting, wtfsubject. I got to love math. Siguro kasi magaling magturo yung propesor. And my seatmate was a mathwiz. Tinuturuan ako ng tricks. He said he really wanted to take up Engineering but it was hard to get a scholarship in our old school. Good thing he got one in this school. Dude, Natutulog lang sa klase pero pagmagising, kinokorek pa yung prof. May bigla rin akong naging seatmate dito, nag-aaral para maging diplomat Hahaha! Kinokopyahan kami. Kaklase ko rin sa writing subject pala iyon, ginawa akong walking dictionary ni loko Haha. Pero magaling daw siya sa matematika eh. Pero mukhang magaling magfootball. Ewan kung puro paporma lang. Di ko pa nakakalaro eh hahaha! I got to know these people more dahil sa pag crash namin sa birthday celebration nung di ko pa kaibigan si miss putograper haha. Here I also met A beer-loving patissier who's a gamer too and the heartbreaker good boy hahaha.
Drinking and partying? Naaah I was good this term. Hahahaha! In fact, nasa chowmi lang kami to chow all the time.. along with a very tall girl. Taller than me :( Girls? Studies first kasi! Hahahaha ata? Medyo nagka-amnesia ako hahaha.. Di ko na matapos tuloy! hahahaha
08-09 sem ender reflection [backstab version]
i am in doom of failing a subject or more. yeah. and it sucks. that is why, i cant spend my summer vacation the way i have planned it to be. i have been thinking a lot. hell yah.. so much that it came to the point that i realized the flaws of my supposed to be a perfect semester. i cant stop thinking of school stuff, people, and even those lousy lessons.
i started my semester as a late enrollee [again] so I ended up starting on the third week. I’ve missed a couple of quizzes and those entertaining intros. But I just thought, “It's just monthly’s I’ll do better in the prelims.” [I remember these words. The exact words I told my good friend – Adrian] I still had the sembreak syndrome that is why I was so stubborn and was just a happy-go-lucky kid. All my classmates were already learning a lot of things from those antibodies to its antonym –antigens. I was always complaining about the subjects we had. “why do we have blood banking and hematology? Eh they should be combined.” “mycoviro? What’s interesting in that? Its better if we have a laboratory subject.” “t-cells? What the hell? Where did they get these damn things? Alpha cells? Beta cells? Wahaha” “tae.. dami dami ng mga blood group systems eh – ABO lng nmn kelangan niyan! Haha” etc etc… I had a comment each day. Haha. Lagi akong late.. haha. Yeah I had my first meeting with ma’am SADAKO on the fifth week of the lab. And my first chat with the MATRONA on the day of the monthly exam.haha. I tried to be early in SI every meeting; I don’t want my DEMONGO to be mad. I was doing no good. But I was having a lot of fun. Blood extractions, chatting, bonding, enjoying, group hugs! Yeah we did a lot of these things. Haha. [dota?]
what the? What is dota anyway? Well, it is a computer game that a lot of people are into. I am not one of them. The one I am after is the competition and bond. I have never played it because I am addicted to it. I play because of the happiness and enjoyment each time I kill a weak character, each time I win over a lousy team, each time I dominate that game. But because of these, I realized how boring it is and how easy it is. I always have fun when my opponents are Windsor and Kim. [do not ask why.] but because of that it made us a happier group. i turn into a demon each time I play this. If I have a chance to kill someone, I wont hesitate to do it. Marami akong mga combo na nadiscover this sem. Excel got better rin in dota! Marami rin akong napatay at natrash talk..haha. but dahil rin sa asaran at trash talk- mas exciting maglaro.
Hmm. Love this sem was quite exciting. Biglang naka-usap ko again some people from the past. Still the same. Still lovely girls. What made me even happier was nung biglang tumibok ulit ang puso ko for a lovely lady. Well she’s really pretty and sweet. but yeah… everyone was right.. malandi ako this sem.haha. [ayoko na! I’ll change the topic]
I got drunk for the first time. Expanding my life experiences. Nung January. At ross’ place. Hmm.. it was a funny experience and a wild one. All I can remember is- hindi ako nagwawala, nagsusuka lang naman.haha. I drank too many times rin this semester. Yeah!
Conflicts… hmmm Girls [just those kakakilig na tampo.haha]. mostly guys: Winston- hehe.. he was so angry. Di ko pa siya nakikitang magka ganoon..haha. [siya nangunguna sa list] Kim- uhm. Because of his paper in hema na sinulatan ko ng thank you [haha. Sinuntok ako]. Another one kasi inaasar ko raw sila ni Fiona.haha. muntik na silang mag- friends forever.haha. Mark gil? He just got into acting nung nagwalk out siya nung paskuhan. Windsor? Haha.. a lot! Lagi kasing asar-talo. Lagi pa pikon.haha. sucker sobra.haha. pero a very good friend. Naks, siya nag-alaga nung nawala na ko sa pag-iisip..haha. Adrian? Eh.. sa bait naming sa dota lang kami sumasabog..haha… hmm. Mj? It was windsor’s fault naman so la ako prob nun.haha.[well, wla naman tlga akong naka-away… sa mga kasama ko lang every day.. kasi masyado na kaming nakokornihan sa mga jokes ni kim at mas exciting kung mag-away nlng kami.haha]
Laughing moments! – haha.. hema lab. Grabe si Adrianat Winston mag-extract! Haha. The best.. funny one rin ung muntik nang magwala si kim! Dahil sa relasyon niya kay Fiona.haha. kakatawa rin kasi ang bilis ma-enchant ni kim, Windsor,Adrian at Winston. and oh. Migs. every BB lab, tinatawanan namin si master cholo. hmm.. grabe kasi ang sipsip niya.. galing mag-ayos ng projector.. haha.. pati sila rems and wowee nakahalata. hehe.. Another pa nung I was with my dear friend Ainah- we were waiting for a cab that time. Grabe love was in the air- lahat ng kasama namin mag-antay were couples.haha.. I remember one of them- bago lang sila naging committed to each other, they were asking isa’t-isa kung ano ang tawagan nila. Hehe.. well di ko na maalala mga big time laughing moments cause every day we had one naman talaga. Oh, I remember the time na I cut class and left my bag sa room… then my friends read the messages in my phone – nalaman nila secret ko! That was the time they found out about her… but yeah.. yun.. we never failed to laugh everyday! Pati mga prof- may time na magjojoke, we just laugh sarcastically though.
I dropped SI on the 4th week of January. Nagtampo si mama demongo.. she told me na “bakit subject ko lang di mo ginagalingan?” she doesn’t know na lahat nang subjects ginagapang ko at sa kanya ko lang nakita na wala nang langit. Grabe kasi siya hindi ko maintindihan magturo. She's always galit pa. she had a very scary stare! Parang kelangan mo nang remote control sa kanya.. kelangan mo pindotin ang slow-mo button para mahabol mo ang kanyang malanding boses. Haha. Kay sir matrona naman, akala ko ok pa ako. Kasi mataas nakukuha ko sa quizzes at crush niya ako.haha. I had to report about this measles and he was actually stunned nung how I did it. Yeah. Magaling ako magreport kasi I read a lot before i talk about it. Magaling rin ako lumusot kaya if ever you had the chance to listen to my report maaamuse ka sa galing ng mga sagot ko lalo na sa mga questions ng prof. haha.. sa history ko never pa akong nasabaw ng prof sa reporting.. kahit d ko alam ang topic laging may lusot yan! Haha. Nagkaprob lng ako kay matrona simula ng naging matraffic ang commonwealth! Grabe lagi akong nadadali dito. Pati na rin sa quezon ave at araneta at espanya… grabe mga highway na yan… grabe! Mam sadako! Haha… bago ko siya naging prof this sem, close na kami. Malaki ulo ko kasi alam kong paborito niya ako.. haha.. from the start talaga lagi akong late sa kanya… kasi akala ko pa naman… na makapangyarihan si sir llanera kesa sa kanya. Every time si mam sadako ay mang-aaway sa akin lagi kong iniisip na si sir banyera naman lec..hehe.. yun pala mas makapangyarihan si SADAKO.. huhu.. kaya di ko na alam kapalaran ko.. todo defensive nga si sir banyera eh.. talagang gusto niya ipalam sa akin na si SADAKO ang may kagagawan at lagi siyang hugas kamay every time magkakatext kami. Si SADAKO naman nagtatampo ako sa kanya kasi kahit kelan d siya nagrereply sa akin! Haha.. Isa sa fave prof ko this sem ay si sir MANYAK haha.. kilala niyo na yan. Grabe ang galing ng green jokes niya! The best! Nagkataon pa na pwedeng pwede ang kabastosan sa subject niya… haha.. matatawa ka talaga sa kayabangan niya at kabulastogan ng dila niya..haha.. the best kung pano magturo, laging may cheat codes.. haha.. sinabi pa niyang maporma daw ako!hehe si MACMAC naman ang boring grabe… feeling pa magaling mag-english..haha.. pero malandi siya.. grabe magdamit pangfashion tv…hehe… pero nagtatampo tlaga ko sa kanya kasi kinokontra niya lahat ng mga sagot ko pagtama ako di niya ako bibigyan ng tamang score… grabe inCOMPATIBLE!!! Di niya tinama! Grabe talaga yun! Naalala ko nlng mga pangaral ni master Winston : “at least alam mong tama ka!” haha.. eh d naman tama na score ang ilalagay niya sa grade ko… si sir yulo… actually wala akong naintidihan sa mga powerpoint presentation niya…pero dahil sa subject niya mas gumaling ako magdrawing at gumawa ng kwento..haha.. the best… dapat siya lagi prof ko…pareho kami racist! Haha… ang comment ko lang kay mam jani cruz ay… ahemmm… mabait..haha..
Sila ang mga prof na nagtakda ng kapalaran ko… haha.. kaya I know I'm in good hands
Pero above all else… I know this sem made me a better person and much smarter. I know I did very well. If ever not academically, I know 10x its value. I had more friends and more alliances. More people to love me and more people to praise me. Haha. I know naman my weaknesses and my strengths. I know how to get what I want. Natatawa nga ako kasi parang and dali ng college… pagood shot ka lang/sipsip/ konting aral/ wag palate/ laging pumasok… tiyak di ka na babagsak pa… eh ako kagwapohan lang and pag-aaral lang dala ko..haha... mapeperfect ko na nga ang theory ko eh… konting observations nalang..hehe…
I know you guys deserve where you are into right now… congratulations.

Twilight of the Gods
“To hunt a troll is suicide. To hunt a god is divine comedy.” -Icingcake
Alas! the final battle for 2008 was held. T’was afternoon, Wednesday, dec 17. A new player was introduced to the group of cannibals, dongui. Remo, Windsor, chelychichi, cholo, mixmasterlou, player X and rockstar were all present in the said event. Missing were lazysomeone, sildenafil and deathgod. Icingcake, a top journalist, took part as the observer/ witness for the match up dubbed as the “twilight of the GODS” which rockstar never failed to let us realize why it is indeed a battle of the gods.
1st two games- it was sad for a comeback player like dongui - cholo, remo and player x [the merciless vampire] were feasting on his character every time. Once they see razor/ zeus they gave all the skills and attacks to this poor player. Dongui never achieved success in the first two games. Luckily mixmasterlou was there to take all the critical strikes [from cholo] for dongui, he grabbed a 1-10 stats. It was unlucky for this pitiful player; he thought that his invisibility skills could let him escape from the mass murder of the scourge. Remo in the other hand did well in the second game he had nice stats and this helped the scourge triumph easier. Player x did great while using the character, Balanar, grabbed an 8-0 statistics. It was a tough one for chelychichi, he was swimming on a river of fire just to be victorious, which sadly he failed. Windsor did well, maybe because of his allies. Cholo gave some critical strikes and did very well playing tinker, killed the Moneytree lots of times.
For Rockstar? Lots of stories were told about this epic hero, most of them were just myths.
But the third game was neither a myth nor a legend.
It was history in the making.
Sadly I cannot give the exact words to honor this hero’s greatness. That is why I end my article here.
No stories can ever tell. No poems can ever tell. No sentences can ever tell. No phrases can ever tell. No words can ever tell. It was indeed the Twilight of the GODS or should I say the “Twilight of the GODlike”.
Final win/lose stats
Windsor 3/0 Mixmasterlou 1/2
Chelychichi 0/3 cholo 1/2
Player x 1/2 dongui 1[quitted]/2
Remo 2/1 rockstar 3/0
the teams
1st game rockstar, Windsor, mixmasterlou, player x vs Cholo, chelychichi, remo, dongui
2nd game rockstar, Windsor, cholo, remo vs chelychichi, player x, dongui, mixmasterlou
3rd game rockstar, Windsor, remo, dongui vs chelychichi, player x, mixmasterlou, cholo
