Weights and dates

150...
225...
300...
450...
CRUNCHES!

weight training as PE for summer means instant body pain. Imagine doing crunches everyday with number of reps increased daily. I realized that I cannot even carrya 50-kilo barbell. I can't even do a single (yes, A SINGLE!) PULL UP. To think that i will be needing a minimum of three reps to get a 3 in my practicals

WHOO!

My PROF in a GE is so damn hot. From the way she speaks, to her beliefs, and of course to her
drop-dead-gourgeous body. Too bad that i just hate the subject she is teaching. On the other hand, never did i yawn in her class (maybe 'cause i'm stunnedÜ). Can anyone set us up? is dating a prof even allowed in UP?

WHOO!

Summer is hot, too hot for me actually. Both of y subjects adds up to the heat. PhYsIcAllY! GREEN GREEN GREEN.

summer is green. to green for me.

Post Barrio! (pix to follow)

>>after 7 and a half days of living in Cabangan, Zambales, I am finally home. Not that i did not like my stay in Zambales, on the contrary, i have already learned so much that i cannot wait to share all my experiences with my own family.

>> The family I stayed with during he barrio work was so accomodatingly warm
It includes: tatay Aladin
nanay Fe
kuya Arnold
kuya Allan
Anthony "kaka"
Ferdinand
Beverly
and my cute and affectionate cousin/neighbor Ojin (3 yrs old)

>> they taught me almost everything they do for work and for fun!
My brothers even allowed me to join them in one of their "laots"
Fortunately, i was able to catch 4 fish (yehey! unbelievable)

>>But of course, problems was part of my being family.
1. We experienced a ZERO catch on one day whcih really made me feel bad

2. Then, the BUMBAY became my enemy for he was

3. at our house every morning trying to make my nay pay him.
i know my nanay really had a debt. But I hate the bumbay still!

4.There were also some minor family conflicts but were nevertheless solved.

5. Since i grew more attached to my family day by day, the hurt i felt for the family whenever we have problems (especially on finance) was also grwing stronger daily.
Like when my youngest brother didn't have money for the entrance fee to the bvasketball game, and the depreciated value of the similya we often sold to the "bayan buyer"

>> Whoo! I miss my family now that i'm reminiscing, especially my brothers whom i shared many of experiences with: like pangangasoy, connivng at the ice cream vendor to obtain his goods (katuwaan lang!), pangangamote, taking shortcuts on bukids, disturbing sleepy carabaos, serious work, stories about ghosts, lovers, and buhay maynila, and gazillions to list.

>>The barrio work was the best week of my life! It even taugfht my feet how to walk longer distances ( like from the bayan to the barrio!)
>>I learned so many things, which includes words such as:
1. Turu-turo
2. sensuro
3. ambay
4. pala-pala
5. sigay (lambat)
6. kwatro kantos!
7. alak san
8. similya (bangus at its baby form)
9. Pudpurang-labi (hahahaha)
10. blah blah blah!

>> also tasted so many fruits!:
1. karamay
2. sinegwelas
3. camachile
4. kasoy
5. mangga
6. caimito
7. Guyabano
8. camote
9. langka

......................
...We said our goodbyes to our families and tears started to wet my nanay's cheeks. I embraced her for all the things she taught me.

...


After the barrio work, our cell phones and money were returned to us. I felt indifferent to them that holding my cell phone and money felt awkward. I was able to live for 8 days without them, I realized.

There are so many things in this experience that I want to share.
I just can't because reading about it would probobly bore you,
narrating them personally is so much better.
So, catch me if you want to know!

BYE! I'm not even used to typing already after the barrio work! hahahhah

( too bad i failed to get drunk (",) )
HOPE EVERYONE CAN TRY THIS EXPERIENCE.
IT 'S YOUR LOST IF YOU DON'T BUT CAN

Do good. Live simply.PRAY. ((<<--DGLSP!-->>))
JOIN UPSCA!

Migrating Out of US


Nakakhinayang!
Lagalag na ako sa University Scholar (US)
1.703333 na lang ang General Weighted Average (GWA) ko compared as 1.45 ko na sumabit sa US hehehehe

Nahihinayang ako na hindi ko man lang natikman yung
pa-merienda sa mga US, hehehehe. Asar naman yung KASAYSAYAN. Hanggang ngayon hina-haunt pa rin ako!

Hihihihhi. Pakiramdam ko sabi ng grades ko magshift na ako to Philo. Ano kaya?! hehehehhe

Pasaway ang Eng 10 at Eng 1 ko, nagkapareho pa sila. Para bang sinasabi na wala na akong pag-asa mag-improve sa grammar ko. Kelanagn ko talag ng tulong sa progressive, perfect at perfect progressive tenses. too bad.

Narealize ko sa ENG 12 na ang isang bagsak na long exam ay panghila talaga kahit taasan mo pa ang ibang exams. SA Soc SCi 2 naman, hindi enough ang magtest, kelangn ng reactions tungkol sa politics heheheheh...

Mag-aaral na lang ao uli ng mas mabuti para makatikim ako ng pa-merienda! nakakaasar! heheheheh cge BYE
