the cross


1st term of my 2nd year in Taft was my first term as a College of Business and Economics student. I am currently a Marketing major student. I used to take up AB-Psychology in the College of Liberal Arts. Though i truly enjoy studying Psychology, i just didn't think that i fit in that course so i decided to shift to Marketing along with my friend Jordan. My first term as a Marketing student was really challenging and FUN! FUN!:D I had fun subjects like ACTBAS1, ENGLRES, BUSORGA, and TREDTWO, I met tons of new friends, and it was also the first time I felt that I squeezed all the brain juices in me. WOW! The first time i felt like vomiting after an exam! haha! This photo was taken somewhere in Laguna? for a field trip in class. The trip was called AdvocaTREE, we were required to plant at least 5 trees to help save the environment or something. That trip was really exhausting but it was also one of the best experiences ever. Not only did I get to help the environment, but i also met some new friends along the way. In order to get to the planting site, we had to pass through a bunch of rocks under a stream. It was very slippery so we all held hands in order to pass through safely. After crossing that, i suddenly realized that, this cross towards the other side is something that i can relate very much to my experience shifting from one college to another. My shift to Marketing was definitely a rocky and very slippery road. I had to take the ITEO exam, the marketing qualifying exam, and I had to go through an interview with the marketing department. That experience was definitely scary and risky, but with overflowing determination, a bit of luck, and with Jordan along for the ride, it was a slippery cross I'm glad I decided to take.

HARD drive???


A couple of weeks ago, i was blessed with the gift of an external hard drive. ohYeah! Not internal Hard Drive but EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE! 250 gigabytes of free space, how good is that? Now i can freely save and save and save any files with no worries of space. This gadget is very very special to me that i decided to name it Chazz. My inspiration for the name is Will Ferrell's character, Chazz Michael Michaels from the Movie Blades of Glory.
Obviously, i was going crazy with my downloads. Then after a couple of weeks, my INTERNAL HARD DRIVE CRASHED!!! Woah! Thankfully, I've transferred most of my important files to Chazz already. But then it occurred to me, probably Chazz is somehow also a blessing in disguise for me because if not for him, then all my important files would have been gone forever.
I just don't get the reason why computers crash, or why hard drives crash?? In a blink of an eye, files, and more importantly, a part of life can just vanish into thin air and be nothing but a vivid memory left in us.
So despite having saved my important files, this thought stumbled upon my mind... A hard drive may be called THE HARD DRIVE of the computer, but perhaps the HARD DRIVE is the softest component of the computer afterall... :P

Sunset. :)


I took this photo from the attic of our house. From time to time, when i feel depressed or sad, i just simply go up there and check out this wonderful view of the sunset. In life, we go through so much challenges and darkness, but in everything that i do, i try to see the bright side of life. This sight just simply brings me back to the lighter side of life. Seeing this sight gives me the thrilling experience of floating among the foggy clouds and slightly feeling the sheer heat of the sun with the cooling breeze of the wind. The sensations around it are complete opposites yet they compliment each other like a delicious platter of spaghetti and meatballs. It is simply an experience worth treasuring and experiencing. Though i don't get the opportunity to gaze upon this extraordinary site everyday, I simply adore and cherish every moment that i do get to see it, for this isn't only a wonderful work of nature, but it is also stunning embodiment of art.

Well, hopefully, this blog can help me bring back my passion for writing and juice out the creative juices in me. Imma go ahead now, i don't feel good, i havent eaten anything so goodbye and godspeed!
