High lights

I thought about it... what are the best times of my 2012? well, It's hard if I mash them all up together, so I'm just going to say what was the best part of each month starting in January of 2012. mwahaha.

• January- We had to do this travel magazine for one of our classes. We were assigned in Marikina. It was my first time exploring Marikina. It was a lot of walking on our part, but the enjoyment and memories were something to be remembered.

• February- I stayed up till 4am, drawing covers and writing letters for the CD's I burned for my friends for Valentines day. All the exhaustion and hand cramps were worth it, just seeing that they appreciated what I did for them. 

• March- I experienced luck like no other. I was Withdrawn from a class, and my prof, for some unknown reason to me, changed my grade and I didn't need to repeat the class. Pure luck indeed!

•  April- I started volunteer work for PAWS. I was with a lot of dogs and cats and I learned that abuse to animals was all around. All the animals in the shelter were the lucky ones. 

• May- I got my cat spayed. She was the first one. She is not going to have babies anymore. It was a strange experience, seeing a cat go under the knife like that...

•  June- Tried to restore my PSP1000. I put in 500php for the battery, 500 for a repair that did nothing, and another 300 for the upgrade. a total of..... 1,300.

• July- Watched a Taekwondo thing for this Sports Magazine we did. It was my first time, also I was the one who arranged for our group to go to the said event. Sooo.... I learned a bit of responsibility along the way.

• August- It rained for three days in Metro Manila, flooding barangays and killing dogs and cats! Also people. There was no storm, just... "Habagat". I also Failed a quiz in statistics that crushed my self esteem and confidence.

• September- I ended my teenage years.

• October- I passed Statistics. Not with flying colors, but I passed. 

• November- spent a night in a hotel with my friends. Friggin' EPIC! and after only two hours of sleep, went to MOA to see a car show. I've never seen such big cars! 

• December- Sold my PSP1000 because I obtained a PSP2000. I also sold my Samsung Corby II and bought a Samsung Galaxy Pocket.. I am very happy.

I can't really say that it's been a terrible year. In fact, I think it was a good one. But I'm hoping and praying that 2013 to be a better year.

And I don't buy that fortune telling crap. You make your own fortune by the choices YOU make, not by some cookie or anything!

The future is in our hands. Let's make sure that the coming year will be a good one for all of us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Bata, Bata...

bata, bata, nanlilimos sa kalye,
Hindi ka ba takot mahagip ng kotse?
Sama ka sakin, dun tayo sa eskwela,
Nang buhay mo ay magkaroon ng kwenta.

bata, bata, nagugutom sa daan,
Halika at tinapay, aking bibigyan.
tara at sama tayo magsikap,
Bagong buhay na makikita sa pangarap. 

bata, bata, hawak ang diploma.
Nakapagtapos ka, at ngayo'y iba na.
Pangarap nakamit, kay sarap ng pakiramdam.
Ngayon ang hirap, ay sa nakaraan na lamang.

Things I learned in 2012

It's the last day of the year. It is a day of reflecting upon what has happened and what we have learned in the past 12 months. It is time to go back to some of the events that have taken place and are now things we wish not to remember.

My year? It was a good one. I learned and lost things along the way. Experiences. I had a lot of those. Laughter? countless. It made up for the depression I felt earlier this year. Let's see...

1. They don't really mean what they say. Friends will say that they will always be there for you and give you support in your time of need. False. At the end of the day, all you have is yourself. I let someone down this year. Every night it still haunts me. Their anger, it paralyzes me. Just the thought of it. I am ashamed to have let that person down. I am ashamed of myself...

2. Helping is good. This year, I did volunteer work for the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), But because of school works eating up my free day, I had to quit without finishing the six months I promised them. And today, I am too ashamed to show my face in the office again....

3. Family is Everything. This year, I became closer to my cousins. I learned that they can be my family, and my best friends at the same time. I love them and I am thanking God I have them in my life.

4. You will receive if you ask. There's a saying, "If you don't ask, the answer will always be No." This is true. I learned that if you never speak up, you will never receive more.

5. Don't be afraid to love. I have recognized a pattern in my life. If the year is odd, I am in love. If the year is even, I am always depressed/ heart broken. i.e. 2005: <3, 2006: </3, 2007: <3, 2008: </3, 2009 <3, 2010 </3, 2011 <3, 2012 </3, 2013: ?  I don't know yet what the following year holds for me. But I'm ready to love again. I just hope I'm making the right choice. I want my 2014 as well as my 2013 to be a happy one.

There will be a part two. But that would be the high lights. I don't want to make it too long so you won't get bored reading. Well, till next time!

WANTED: New PC!

Our PC is functioning pretty shitty. I don't understand why. I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the software. But the hardware seems to be going to hell.

I'm gonna look for a job. That's gonna be my goal for 2013. A job that pays so I can make enough money to get upgrades or a new PC all together. This thing is starting to become a burden to me. I almost feel like owning a laptop is better. It's low maintenance, plus it doesn't take too long to clean unlike a desktop.

Our neighbor is selling a complete PC unit for 5k.

*As I was typing this the computer froze up! agh! this is exactly what I mean!

This is why I want a new PC. This thing is almost six years old. The processor's slow compared to the newer ones. But until the day comes that I am independent, I have to make do with this.

The Holidays aren't over yet. You can still give me a desktop or a functioning laptop. hihihihihi.

It's Friday?

I have to be honest with you. I've lost track of the days. I was really surprised to learn that it was Friday. I thought that it was only Wednesday.

That means there are only a few days left until the new year is upon us! But the work for this year is still piled high. Oh well. I'm still not in the mood to make articles. I mean, business articles dude! I have to deal with it I guess. But I don't really want to.

Anyway, I have nothing better to say except that I finally have my phone.

cheers!

Back to Work

Don't you just hate the feeling of having to go back to work after a long rest? I certainly do. But then again, without the work, you will never appreciate a long deserved rest.

Christmas is over, and New Year isn't until next week. Which means, work needs to be done. Those articles aren't going to write themselves after all. But sometimes I wish they did.

anyway, it looks like I'm never meeting my personal quota for posts this month. I just have nothing else to write about. Sucks. And I don't really want to post school articles here. Or maybe I will... hmm...

That reminds me. the End of Year Post! A summary of all the highlights this year. Hopefully, I'll post it on the last fay of the Year. As I always do. I need to start making the list I guess..

But not now. I have to finish writing an article. Cheers! and i hope you guys had a merry christmas.

SOLD!

Can you tell that I missed blogging? Perhaps. or perhaps not. Anyway, I am happy to say that I sold my old PSP, the pink one just yesterday. I wanted to sell if for 1000 pesos. But since it was broken and I didn't include the charger and memory stick, I was able to sell it for 700.

Honestly, I felt like a customer in Pawn Stars. haggling with the store person at Sta. Lucia Mall. I'm still happy that I was able to sell it though. Apart from my old PSP, I also sold my Cellphone. The Yellow Corby II. I am now currently using my old phone from High school. My trusty Nokia 2630.

Though I have to admit I miss the wifi, It's all for the best because I'm getting a new phone with the money I made from selling the phone and the PSP.

I'm thinking about getting an android phone. I'm just not sure which Android phone. Oh well. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
