Well, I guess kailangan kong mag type ng sama ng loob ko para naman mabawasan itong sakit na nararmdaman ko.

temptation killed my innocence

I must say good bye to this ridicule behavior of mine. It only worsens my situation of becoming close to God. I do believe that the devil himself has done a pretty good job of luring me to his trap and once again commit a mistake.

Curiosity killed my cat. I am pretty much certain of this. I mean my curiosity leads me to this massive imprudence I am now facing. My life is not yet meaningless for I have done a few good deeds in my existence, but counting all the sins I have committed I believe it will not change anything. I am a girl of sins, I have failed God, my parents and myself.

How many times do I have to beg God's forgiveness for me to be able to stop this obsession. This is not good, it never was. Still I pray and fight the urge for me to make the same mistake all over again.

It's like I've been taking drugs, I got sober for a week and I'm into it again. I can't help it, it's so good, I feel so high. I may seem like your ordinary teen who can't do anything foolish in life, but behind those silly smiles you see, I am perfectly known to be imperfectly sinful of life. I do things very badly and there is nothing I can do to change it.

I scream HELP, for I need divine guidance. I need assistance to stop this madness this destruction. This liberation, this evil schemes.

I pray not because I need to, but because I want to change for the better. Now that the second semester is starting, I will do everything in my power to stop this behavior. May Lord Jesus Christ guide me.

Amen.

A simple message for BROAD

Broadcasting two, we have done it again. Not only did we exceed the expectations of our professor but it also made others’ emotion come out of their shell.

In my opinion, the word THANK YOU is not enough for me to express my heart-warming gratitude to those who participated in our event. THANK YOU is not enough for my dearest classmates, who made everything possible, and THANK YOU is not enough for me to voice out my deepest gratefulness to our Lord Jesus Christ for giving us guidance and blessing to perform smoothly on stage. (Well it’s not smooth I have to say, but at least we made a professor shed a tear and include me there for crying)

I know that our play, the TATARIN is not a competition between the Chemistry students and the Broadcasting, but it felt like it is. Especially, since we are competing for a high grade with another course. I think, my classmates and I don’t want to feel downtrodden by any students anymore. We wanted to show them, that though our course is fresh and we haven’t been trained properly yet, we can always make your mouth drop by the way we support our course.

Yes, in this kind of activity whenever there’s a rehearsal, please bear in mind that not all participated in making the props, practicing the whole play, memorizing the script, paying the contributions and many more. This is not to throw darts to those person right? I am just pointing out some cases that can never change in life, especially when you’re inside the school.

Anyway that is not the point, my point here is that. Just think people, we only practiced for two days and take note that those practice times weren’t enough. I mean it, it wasn’t enough for us because actors were busy making props when in fact they were supposed to be practicing the script. Dancers cannot prepare properly because we have no sound to use and how could I forget that the general rehearsal became an ordinary practice.

Come to think of it, though we only practice for only two days, I cannot believe my near to death eye –bugged eyes that we gave them such marvelous performance. I mean come on, you know for yourself that you wanted back out because you were not quite sure that we’re going to make even an OKAY performance. However, YOU didn’t back down, WE didn’t say NO. And that was ample for me to believe that we can always DO it, and WE did. WE were magnificent, amazing, adorable and versatile. What other words should I use? Tell me.

I am the director of our play, for two consecutive days I don’t have an enough sleep, and my eyes are already killing me. But It’s worth it because at that time my near to bleed eyes was again used to witness such an amazing performance by my ever so wonderful classmates.

I know that I became emotional after the performance, and I don’t really care if others would think I was only seeking attention because I cried. Honestly, I was just completely in the state of the highest degree of wide-ranging appreciation, happiness and proudest because YOU guys were great.

BROADCASTING 2,

I know that I am a bitch sometimes or maybe all the time. Nevertheless, I would like to take the opportunity that though I am WEIRD and STRANGE, I am deeply proud of you guys. I don’t want to name any of you magical people ‘cause you know for yourself that you are great.

· Thank you, for believing in God Almighty that we can do this.

· Thank you for believing in yourself

· Thank you for your cooperation

· Thank you for the laughter

· Thank you for everything

Like I said, thank you is not enough to express my gratitude. If only I’ve got plenty of cash then after the performance we should be eating at the most expensive restaurant in Legazpi.

Thank you once more for being a part of my life. I hope that this simple message may touch your heart that I appreciate each one of you. That though some of you don’t treat me or even think of me as their friend, still you guys are already my family and I am blessed that I met you.

BUngCAL – thanks for being frank and for supporting me in almost everything and in the simplest way you can. You’re the best guys, and I’m happy to have you as my FRIENDS.

SISTER, ZOOEY FAMILY, DEAN’S LISTERS, PIO’S ANGELS, JOED and the GANG and also BEKA and FRIENDS.

Even though we have different circle of friends, when it comes to broad I know for a fact that we are one.

SO THANK YOU GUYS! J

Anti-Angry Birds Bill a SPOOF

Unang una sa lahat, gusto ko lang sabihin sainyo kung gaano ako napeke ng Anti-Angry Birds Bill na iyan. Stir akala ko naman totoo na, at kung ano pa. Kaya pala nagtataka ako kung bakit wala pa akong nababalitaan sa TV ng ganito. Pero I guess, magiging topic na ito soon.

Hindi ako nag post neto para sabihin kung gaano ako naging tanga dahil sa post na yan pero eto na, magsisimula na ako.

Nagsimula ang issue na ito ng mabasa ko ang isang news dito sa site na ito. So, What's News?

Makikita mo dun, kung ano ang Bill ang congressman na nag pass at kung ano pang mga kasinungalingan. Spoof lang pala ang lahat, joke joke lang. Pero maraming mga tao ang nag react, nainis, at napamura sa kanilang mga nabasa o mga narinig.

Tanga nga ba ang pinoy para gumawa ng napaka walang kwentang BILL? Nag iisip nga ba ang

mga congressman o mga pinuno ng ating nasyon para sa ika uunlad ng ating bansa? O sadyang nag papabango lang sila ng kanilang sarili para mag mukhang kaaya aya sa publiko?

Maraming tao ang nagalit sa kanilang nabasa, at dahil nga sa nagpadala na sila sa kanilang emosyon ay nagsimula na silang, magpost ng mga kung anu anong hinanakit na kanilang nararamdaman tungkol sa nasabing balita.

Masisisi mo ba sila kung naging agresibo agad sila, at hindi nila nabasa na JOKE lang pala ang lahat?

Masisisi mo ba sila na makita ang mali ng mga pinuno natin?

Masisisi mo ba sila, kung naging aware sila sa mga nangyayari dito sa PINAS?

Masisisi mo ba sila, kung may malasakit pa sila sa PINAS?

Masisisi mo ba sila kung, napahiya sila at napeke sila ng balitang iyon?

Kahit ano pa ang dahilan, isa lang ang masasabi ko. NAPEKE AKO! STIR! natunganga ako as in. Pakiramdam ko ako lang ata sa buong mundo ang hindi nakahalata na BIRO lang pala iyon. Ang BOBO ko yun ang unang pumasok sa isip ko. Pero, hindi ee. PILIPINO ako. Talaga namang magagalit ako kung sakaling may ganoong klaseng BILL na ipapatupad.

Hindi ako tanga, dahil sa hindi ko nabasa agad na SPOOF ang lahat, sadyang naantig lamang ang aking damdamin.

Hindi ako bobo, dahil nag comment agad ako o nagreact man.

Para din ito sa mga taong napeke, ng SITE na iyon. Natatawa nalang ako sa laki ng pag kakamali ko.

Ito ay isang comment galing sa nasabing website:

i guess the reactions here only proves how fanatic the Filipinos are with ANGRY BIRDS..but let us be careful next time in making satire articles because a sensitive issue was touched here..i pity the congressman whose name was used in the article..think of the effect to his family..sana wala na lang binanggit na name ng tao kung fictitional din lang pala ito..

Ang masasabi ko lang, tama siya sana maging maingat tayo minsan sa pag post ng mga PEKENG news. Kasi hindi naman lahat ng tao, mahahalata kung peke ba ito o hindi. Kahit na sabihin nating may description ang website na iyon. Iba parin ang unang makita ng mata mo, yun na ang makakakuha ng atensyon mo. Kaya sana be careful of your words kagaya nito.

TANGA! POLITICAL SATIRE NGA EH. BOBO. MAGISIP KAYO MGA PUTA. NAKAKABADTRIP EH, HAHAHAHHAHA MGA BOBO TALAGA!! POLITICAL SATIRE ITO. ANTAYIN NIYO SA NEWS TO AH KUNG GANO KAYO KABOBO.

Oh diba? may kasama pang mura? Pinakita niya lang dito kung gaano siya katalino at kung gaano tayo kabobo. Pero, naman po. Hindi po sa pag disrespect. Imbis naman po kasi sabihin ng maayos ang lahat kailangan pa talagang i-emphasize kung gaano kabobo ang isang tao? Ganoon ba talaga dapat iyon?

Kaya hindi magkakaayos ee, kasi ang daming taong akala nila SUPERIOR na sila.

Tama na, mali nga nag react ng basta basta ang tao pero hindi kailangan na ipamukha mo sakaniya na BOBO siya. Kung sana sinabi mo ito ng matiwasay, di sana tunawa nalang kayo pareho diba?

Mas malala pa pala sa Anti-Angry Birds Bill ang mababasa ko sa wesbite na iyon. Na disappoint ako ng husto, sa mga pinakitang ugali nila. Alam kong hindi ko sila dapat husgahan dahil hindi ako DIYOS. Pero sinasabi ko lang ang opinyon ko ukol sa sitwasyong ito.

CYBER BULLYING

I THOUGHT WRONG

A bully is a person who torments kids by means of punching them with no valid reason, making fun of them, humiliate them in front of a huge crowd and do anything to hurt you physically or emotionally. Usually a bully is a boy; they have brawns but believe me they do not have brains at all or so I thought. The first time I have ever heard the word bully was when I was watching “MEAN GIRLS”. It is about a bunch of sexy fine young teens who tries their best to be popular and be mean to others. They would back fight them by putting their pictures in a pink book where they can say cruel stuff about their victim; they would lie to if they must just to have some juicy gossips about them.

Nowadays even in the internet we experience bullying. Yes, you can be bullied too through the internet it’s called “cyber bullying” and No, no hands are coming out from the computer screen to knock you out just to say that you’re being downtrodden. Bullying in the internet is quite different from the bullying you knew. In this kind of oppression, teens tend to say something nasty about you without holding back. Moreover, since the World Wide Web is open for everybody, you can change your name and intimidate someone without him or her knowing who you really are. Amazing is it not, who knew bullies could be such a genius and use the internet to spread their wickedness. These guys have brains, in fact they have huge brains. That is why; let us congratulate them for making us feel that we are browbeaten all the time. Let us congratulate them for making us feel that we cannot do anything good in this world, because they are so harsh and cruel that they are the only human being good enough to live.

THE WORLD OF CYBER BULLIES

The term "cyber bullying" was first coined and defined by Bill Belsey, as "the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group that is intended to harm others." That is based on what I’ve read about the definition of cyber bullying on google.

Cyber bullying is as simple as stabbing someone at the back. Bullies tend to send-email to someone who has said they want no further contact with the sender, but it may also include threats, sexual remarks, pejorative labels, ganging up on victims by making them the subject of ridicule in forums, and posting false statements as fact aimed at humiliation.

CYBER BULLYING VS. CYBER HARASSMENT

The practice of cyber-bullying is not just only for little children and teens, while this behavior is

identified by the same definitions in adults, the difference in age groups is sometimees referred to as cyber stalking or cyber harassment. In this kind of oppression, cyber stalkers are to threaten a victim’s family, social life, employment, reputation or safety. This event takes place usually on social networking sites, cyber stalkers may record victims say and replay the recordings in a way that humiliates them. An adult will repeat this cycle against the target.

CYBER BULLYING A CAUSE OF DEATH

Cyber bullying is always present in social networks showing poor innocent youngsters no mercy by posting degrading messages in their inbox or sometime even worse. They could spread rumor through the internet of how horrendous you are, dumb people would believe this and they would start sending you bunch of lovely letters regarding the allegation. And when you open your account, you’ll be surprise to see your inbox almost full of scandalous notes about your past actions or whatever rumor is charged against you. This could affect your life because of the fact that people believed you did something wrong. They would look down to you with such disgust with their hypercritical eyes and as a result, you will be paranoid.

Many cases in social networking site that victims of cyber bullying or cyber harassments commits suicide. An example of this case is an Irish native Phoebe Prince who committed suicide in January 14 prior to her death, because it was believed that nine teenagers bullied her. Prince’s death has drawn significant attention to the panic surrounding cyber bullying, a factor initially thought to have been related to Pilkington’s suicide. A facebook group calling for the expulsion of “three girls” believed to have pushed Prince to take her life has over 23,000 members.

STAND UP

This is such an unhealthy activity especially for teens because they might get depressed

and most importantly affect their social life. A victim of this kind of mistreatment should not allow this issue to take over his or his life. It causes a great deal of humiliation and self-restraint on everything you do. Let us stand for ourselves and do not believe on whatever we see on the internet, because we know for ourselves that we haven’t done anything wrong. All we know is that we live our lives the way we wanted it to be and all those bullies out there trying to bring us down are just jealous of what we have. Never let those false rumors be the cause of your downfall, because if you do, then might as well be a bully yourself. If you cannot beat them join them, but since I don’t want to join then I shall beat them. Simple.

the artist in me

I love anime a lot. I mean when I was a little kid, anime was my life. I use to make some role plays in my head with some anime characters and sleep all the way. I know I am talented and one of this talent is sketching or drawing anime or other stuff.

This on the right, is my anime drawing. I have no idea who this character is. This sketch is almost 3 years old I think? I forgot. And the one holding this sketch is ME. The beautiful me.

And this one is a drawing of mine of MOKONA and some POKEMON i saw in a magazine. This is what happens when boredom strikes me. It would make me do some things.

This one on the right is a drawing of mine of some anime about final fantasy I think? I am not familiar with anime today.

I thought I'd share my talent with the world although the proportions are not that perfect. I strive for the best. At least I know for myself that I can draw. Yay me.

Dad told me that on his side of the family he doesn't have any relative that could draw, but when my cousin from leyte came and live with us. It changed my whole perception, he is damn good about this stuff and I envy him. But that's okay, GOD made me this way and I love it.
