Semi-Nostalgic

Went through some old files here on my laptop, college days. Kanina yung mga old articles ko naman, pero di ko ia-upload. Haha!  And since I am feeling semi-nostalgic, why not post these? :)

Yung ibang pictures, medyo payat ako, de joke, medyo sakitin ang itsura ko! Haha!

Missing school so much now that I'll start official work tomorrow. For all the blessings, thank You po! :)

GRADES ARE OUT!

Whew! Big relief I viewed mine already! Nag-abangers ako kaninang madaling araw sa myUSTe, ayaw nya din sa akin. :( Mami-miss ko 'tong magrerefresh ng madaling araw tapos waley ka namang mapapala. Mamimiss ko 'tong magiisip ka ng password sa myUSTe account tapos nganga kapag nakalimutan mo. Haha!

Kakauwi ko lang galing game 2 ng NCAA Finals. Supported Letran today and we won! :) Great seats and great company from my favorite friends Faye, who's a Letranite, and Randolph. :)

Viewed my grades just now and syempre gaya nung routine ko since first year, waley paki sa subject/course. Tingin agad sa grades tapos scan mo kung may 3.0. :)) Tres lang talaga ina-anticipate ko na grade kasi masyadong pessimist ang peg kung 5.0 ang hahanapin ko.

2-PEAT NA AKO!!! Hehehe. Two consecutive sems na akong walang tres! GOD IS GOOD! :)

My highest grade is Sports Journ and my lowest is Tabloid Journalism. Awkward lang kasi itong ito yung ginawa ko nung summer sa OJT ko sa FilOil/V-League and D-League, sportswriting for tabloid. Tapos naging extremes naman sa grades ko. :))

Anyway. Do I deserve my grades? I think not. Some are a bit higher than I expected them to be (Ethics and DevJrn) pero all is well since I worked hard for them. Siguro mabait lang profs ko than expected. :) Ang saya ko kasi parehong half-cooked yung papers na sinubmit ko sa kanila eh.

Basta ayaw ko na mag-reklamo. :)  

One more semester, UST, and I'm out.

I would love to say that you served me well, but I still have one semester to prove that I have served you well.

I hope you're proud of me. :)

I like who I'm becoming a lot. Pero pucha, graduating na talaga ako. :')

Segment Shoot DAY 1: Quadri Pav / Heaven's Touch

AUGUST 3, 2012

Late uploads. This is from our first day of shooting for our class documentary about UST. We shot sitners at the Quadri Pav and proceeded to interview ate Guy at Heaven's Touch.

Videos are not with me, though. We filmed this on Aljon Mariano's birthday. :)

And here are photos from Heaven's Touch. Guys, please don kayo kumain and order....

AUNTIE BELLE'S! :)

There! Ito yung isa sa mga fun-yet-stressful days of being a Journ senior. I swear, ang dami ko nang natututunan sa BroadComm and it's been only weeks. Paano na kaya kung tumuloy akong mag-CA, baka deads na ako ngayon. Hahahaha.

Never underestimate media studies. ;)

More segment shoots to blog. Move on move on din ako. :)

[kadalasanminsan]

I can't be the only one.

Akala ko yung susundan ng last blog ko, maganda na. Pero ito ako ngayon nagsusulat, still wearing a sad face and the heavy heart he gave me.

Alam mo yung gusto pero ayaw? O kaya ayaw pero gusto? O kaya baliw pero feeling normal. Or feeling normal pero yung totoo, baliw na baliw na? Meron pa. Yung pagod pero sige go lang. Pero minsan sa kaka-go lang, nakakapagod na. Umaasa kahit parang wala na. O umaasa baka kasi meron pa.

That’s me. And I can’t be the only one feeling those!

Nung minsan ngang nakatambay lang kami bago mag-shoot ng segment (Ito na lang yata ginagawa naming makabuluhan ngayong sem, yung iba epal classes na lang) bigla ko na lang nasabi, “Yun nga yung problema eh. Kahit hindi na siya kagusto-gusto, gustong gusto ko pa din siya.”

Ang saklap guys. I can’t be the only one feeling this.

Yung parang lahat na ng baho niya, okay lang sa iyo. Diba ito yung sinabi sa Para Kay B (2009.) “Dahil hindi mo pwedeng mahalin ang isang tao nang hindi mo minamahal ang hilaga, silangan, timog at kanluran ng kanyang paniniwala. Kapag mahal mo siya ay kailangan mong tanggapin ang bawat letra ng kanyang birth certificate. Kasama na don ang kanyang libag, utot o bad breath.”

Pero tangina, hindi ko siya mahal. Konti lang.

"Pero me limit. Pantay-pantay ang ibinibigay na karapatan sa lahat ng tao upang lumigaya, o masaktan, o magpakagago, pero kapag sumara na ang mga pinto, nawasak ang mga puso, nawala ang mga kaluluwa at ang bilang ay umabot na sa zero, goodbye na." Yan ang katuloy. (Para Kay B, 2009)

Hindi ko na alam gagawin ko. Minsan hindi ko na lang pinapansin pero maya’t maya may kalabit papansin. May pa-effect. May sorcery ang peg, may conspiracy ng buong universe tapos babalik at babalik ka na naman.

Yung kumbaga, repel levels, pero biglang “Wild Pokemon appeared!” tapos cannot escape ka naman, kaya kailangan mong labanan, kahit minsan alam mong matatalo ka.

I mean, shit. I can't be the only one going gaga over a stupid... what to call this state of feels?

Kung kailan naman ako nagka-lakas ng loob, kung kailan handa ko na sanang harapin yung mga nararamdaman ko, bigla ko namang naisip na "Di bale na lang kaya?" kasi yun yung pinaparamdam niya sakin eh. Na hindi ko pwedeng kontrahin, dahil yung yung mga nararamdaman niya. Yun yung gusto niya.

Iba ang gusto niya. At alam ko yun pero andito pa rin ako. Ang problema kasi, andito lagi ako.

Pero parang gusto ko nang umayaw eh. Parang hindi na tama, pero there's always something holding me in place, right there with him.

Conscious ako. I can still differentiate dreams from reality. I am fully aware of my acts and their consequences because I "asa responsibly." I understand. I am still understanding but I'll get there.

At alam ko, tanggap ko na I can't be his only one.

Look at me and my friends being shameless around school over the years! :)

..and yes, that's us playing Twister at LL! :\

Second to the last day of internship

Honestly, I'm sad that work has to end. I've been really enjoying working and meeting new people everyday because of my sports beat. I can definitely see myself doing this in the future, and I just hope I'll have another chance to be here with all the amazing sports writers, photographers, players, and enthusiasts. I am quite scared that this is the first and the last time I'm doing this kind of work but I pray everyday that I'll return to have another shot and to be a whole lot better at sports-writing.

Just thinking of the lessons I learned this summer at internship makes me so ready for the future. 

This is probably the most tiring but the most fun summer I had in years since you. And I wouldn't even trade this in for THAT summer.

And this my friends, is indeed a good morning. A week to go before First Sem AY 2012-2013! Graduating na!
