I woke up early in the morning for my Information and Decisions System class. I really hate morning classes because I'm used to waking up late since our class starts in the afternoon ever since we were in our first year of college. But this time, we need to take up this IDS course. At first I thought that this was the one wherein we will learn Galileo, ticket reservations, and all those stuffs related to the "travel agency world". But I was wrong. It was all about the computer then. We will study Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, as if we don't have any knowledge with these. But of course, we have to have a deeper learning about these programs and not just use them for school and business stuffs. Also, we will study Adobe Photoshop, which I am excited about. I've been learning and practicing this program ever since my summer vacation wherein we had different events and I and my partner produced promotional materials through the Photoshop. I was able to learn a few tips and tricks on Photoshop. Thanks to him, (yes you) for the patience. We would even talk on the phone just to instruct me on what to do in some photos.
In the computer lab, we just had a lecture(actually the same lecture of our professor yesterday) about the different shortcut keyboard techniques in Microsoft Word. The minute we sat in front of our computers, we were surprised with what the professor announced. We can use the internet. Yahoo! :) But of course, we can visit sites that are only allowed by the university. I still don't know the site where you can go to Friendster and Multiply and all that even if it's not allowed. For three hours, all we did was to discover keyboard techniques, just press and combine and press different keys to see what's going to happen. And yes, for additional points, we must recite. The professor would alsp call those that haven't recited yet for the previous meeting. So, I was called about three or four times to tell what I had discovered. And yes, while we were doing the same activity over and over, I was visiting my blog. Then, the professor made us do an activity. Noooo! We must discover as many as possible keyboard techniques using the symbol WINDOWS. I only got thirty-five then I passed it already. I got tired of pressing so many keys and I think the WINDOWS symbol doesn't hav use already. So, I gave up.
Despite those fun, yet boring activities, I still enjoy IDS. No pressures at all.

international tour
This semester is definitely an exciting one for us third year students. Meetings and Events Management! In this we will organize an event in which our skills and knowledge about the course will be applied. We will come up of a theme that will be the main focus of our event and delegates from different sections will be joining to witness the event. Well, so much for this one. In fact, we will be doing this for the next semester so we still have time to plan for this. Our focus now is our International Tour. This is the one we're all looking forward to. All the previous batches had experienced international tour and told us that it was really fun, though only few students join this tour because of the expensive rates. Some places they've been to were Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Hongkong, and Australia.
I was able to join our domestic tour last 2006 and it was good. We went to Palawan. This time I am hoping that I can also join the international tour. Though a part of me is already expecting that I cannot join because of the budget, still I believe, of course, that God will provide. The reason I'm expecting not to join is that I don't really want to pressure my parents. Actually, the tour costs a huge amount and I don't want to put pressure on them trying to find money for me to be able to join. In fact, when I work in maybe just two years from now, I can afford to go to different places. :) Right? hmm. However, my mom always tells me that I should join so that I can have that kind of experience. "The Lord will provide" is what they always say. We'll see what happens.

Just few weeks ago our professor in Tour and Travel Operations and Management had a bad news for us. We can't push through with our international tour because of the Swine Flu Influenza A(H1N1 virus). Of course, everyone was disappointed. But just this afternoon our professor gave us a good news. We are already having our tour on September. Yey! :) However, we must choose countries without the cases of A(H1N1). But then, I am not yet sure if I can go. It still depends on our budget. And another thing, I still don't have a passport. Hm. Tourism student without a passport. haha. Well, I'll just hope and pray for this thing. Whatever His will is, let it be done. :)
THINK GREEN
We discussed TOURIST TYPOLOGIES in our Ecotourism course. The four types of Ecotourists are:
- Hard - These are the tourists who prefer physical activities within the ecosite. They love adventure and challenge.
- Soft - These are the tourists who prefer to just enjoy the scenery/ecosite. They like relaxing activities.
- Scientific - The main purpose is research. They conduct studies within the area.
- Environmentalist - Their purpose is to conserve and preserve nature.
With these four types, I think I belong to the SOFT TOURISTS. With those busy and stressful days we have today, I would prefer to just go to an ecosite wherein I will just stare at nature and enjoy the relaxing moment. No worries. No homeworks. No projects. No reminders. Just pure nature.
When I was in second year highschool, we were required to put some designs in our desk. I chose to put a scenery in it. My mother was actually the one who printed it and she said that I've chosen a perfect picture. It was a picture of a road with all the trees at the sides. It's like a long path. (I really enjoy looking at pictures like that) She said that the color green gives us a relaxing effect. Whenever I get tired of studying, she instructed me to just look at that picture so that my mind can be refreshed. Hm.
If you want to escape from a stressful day, just look at something green. Green=Nature. Let us help conserve and preserve God's Creation. Remember: We are stewards of His creation.
Good day and THINK GREEN (not like the "green-minded" thing) :)

philosophy
There's this quotation:
"Of the things that you do not understand, pass them on to silence."
Makes sense? Better shut up than humiliate ourselves. Think first before you say anything.
One thing I've learned in Philosophy class. This is a very interesting course. I've got to use my brain cells in this period.

stressed but blessed
Weekends always make me busy. Instead of finishing my schoolworks and just resting and relaxing at home, I spend most of my time in our church for our rehearsals. Just like what we had earlier. It was only nine in the morning when we went to our church to have some polishing of our dance steps. Then we had our dry-run. Followed by a meeting. And adios!
The following morning was another busy day. Of course it was a Sunday which means a day of worship. After our Sunday service, we just had a quick lunch then we returned to the church at once to start our practice. It was a tiring day, with all the rehearsals and everything, planning, dry-run, costume, decorations, etc., aaahhh.. tsk
But still, I am so blessed and thankful. I have the ability to serve Him through my talents. Though it is very tiring and there's too much pressure, it is still a blessing to me and my family.
I'm praying for a successful celebration of the 16th year anniversary of JEWELS FM.

a "not-so-good-day"
tsk..4:30am dapat but I woke up at around 5:05am! Akala ko malelate ako, I need at least an hour para maayos sarili ko; mabilis naman ako maligo pero matagal ako mag-ayos..uniform pa lang pampatagal na, lotion, off lotion for protection (oh di ba, mabuti na ang safe), earrings, contact lens, make-up, and hair. Nagprepare pa si Mommy oatmeal para may makaen ako..awa nga ko kasi konti pa lang din tulog niya; tpos ayon hindi ko rin naubos kasi nagmamadali na ako. Nakaalis na ako mga 6:00am na din. Paglabas ko umaambon, so I went back to the house to get my slippers para baon ko siya in case na magbaha nanaman sa aking beloved UST campus. One good thing was that they've already improved the roads inside the campus, dati kasi lubak-lubak talaga, which makes it difficult for us to walk with heels. Pumunta na ako sa sakayan ng tricycle, tapos ayon nakarating na ko sa LRT Station na sobrang dami na ng tao kahit 6am pa lang. I waited for the train. 20 minutes. tsk tsk. Kung hapon pasok ko nun nasa Gilmore na siguro ako.
Legarda Station na. I saw my two blockmates pasakay ng pedicab. Dahil sa aking takot na baka ma-late ako, nakisabay na ako sa kanila. The bad part was the "sobrang-atat-makakuha-ng-pasahero" pedicab driver made me sit on the small part of the pedicab. Nakupo. Sabi ko sa sarili ko hindi na ako sasakay sa ganun kasi nga sobrang hirap. Masakit sa legs, at mabilis sila magpatakbo kaya kulang nalang tumalsik ka talaga sa kalsada. Pero still, parang hindi na ako nakapag-isip, bigla ako napasakay dun. Nakakainis. 'Yung driver pa na 'yon ang nakadisgrasya sa paa ko dati kasi nga lagi siyang nagmamadali, hindi ka pa nakakasakay, aandar na ung pedicab. Another thing that made me angry about that pedicab driver? Mandaraya siya! May kasama pa kaming taga-Archi at AB na student. So, 5 kami lahat. Sa P.Noval at Overpass dapat sila bababa pero yung lokong driver na yon, sabi hindi na daw sila pwedeng ihatid dun sa may noval chuchuchu. Binaba kami lahat sa Lacson, ung binababaan talaga namin. Ok un kasi mas maaga pa kami makakarating instead of going all the way through noval and espana chuchuchu. But it's unfair for their part. Nagbayad sila 20php tapos bad service from that grrrr hmmmph driver. (sorry I don't say bad words) Buti pa iyong ibang drivers ng pedicab, kakantahan ka pa. hahaha Anyway, I don't want my entire day to be ruined. So I texted my bestfriend. Naglabas ako ng sama ng loob. And ayon, nawala naman. Nakipagchikahan na ko sa mga kasama ko habang naghihintay sa first period which was 7am.
7:40am na wala pa din ang prof. Nakupo. What's with this wednesday? Mga blockmates ko naghihimutok na kasi nga naman nagmadali kami lahat umalis ng bahay, tapos wala pala kaming prof. 7 to 10am dapat yung class na yun pero wala. So, punta muna kami library para magresearch and para hindi masayang time namin. 1pm pa next class. Para na kami ewan, wala ng mapuntahan. We had an early lunch then we just stayed at the lobby. We waited for another two hours. 1pm na. Philosophy class na. Ayon present na lahat ng instructors hanggang 7pm.
Although I had a bad morning, I still learned a lot. I learned that at some points in my life, I can and I must say "NO". Like for the pedicab incident, I must've said a "no"; when I saw that I would be sitting on that part, I must've refused at once. Another incident was the notes/research thing (kopya/research thing). I don't want to elaborate on this story. This thing is happening to me since I was in gradeschool and it is still my problem now that I'm in college. Basta, advice from me for myself, huwag ng masyadong mabait. haha. But sometimes, it's hard for me to refuse, depending on the person. Ewan ko ba talaga. hay. My bestfriend told me mahirap ng maabuso daw ako. I'll try to change that thing. hmm And of course, I also learned in our discussions, esp. in Philosophy, but it takes time for the information to be registered in my mind. haha Information overload nga daw. Anyway, this is all for today. Kailangan ko pa gumawa ng homeworks.
Despite a "not-so-good-day", STILL, I thank God for everything.

till they take my heart away
I'm looking to your eyes, so far away
There's trouble in your mind
You're losing faith
Hey now, let me hold you It'll be okay
Coz I will love you
Till they take my heart away
Remember when you called
And said goodbye
We thought we'd lost it all
And so did I
Even if I lost you
I would feel the same
Coz I will love you
Till they take my heart away
Believe in me
I'm here to stay
I will love you till they take my heart away
Now we're stronger than before
We've made it through
I never felt more sure
Because of you
Hey now! Are you listening?
Can you hear me say
"I will love you Till they take my heart away!"
by Claire Marlow
beautiful song.. :)

Friday. 05 June 2009. 7:30pm.Prayer Meeting.
7:00pm. I was still thinking if i should go or not. Honestly, I was not in the mood to go. Tinatamad ba na ewan. But, deep inside I had this feeling na parang nakokonsensya ako na hindi umattend. I knew the Lord was the one tapping me and telling me that I should attend. At isa pa, wala naman ako ginagawa sa bahay, and I hate myself for that, tinatamad umattend. tsk tsk. Never na mauulit yon. :)
So I decided to go to the Church that night. Napalitan ng EXCITEMENT yung nararamdaman kong katamaran. ;)
It took me about 10 minutes to get dressed, and because of the bad weather, I asked Dad to bring me to the church.
Pagdating sa church, mas gumaan na pakiramdam ko. I knew that that feeling came from God. And of course, gawain Niya iyon kaya hindi ko hayaang may gumulo sa akin. Minutes passed. The practice ended. Then they already prayed, a signal to start the Prayer Meeting. I was just disappointed kasi ako lang ang naiwan sa labas. Lahat sila ay part ng program. Tinatakot pa ako ni Jenny dahil ako lang kasi ang naiwan sa labas (buti na lang lumabas si Igi :)) Kaunti lang nakaattend that night. I knew everyone who wasn't able to attend has their own reasons. Number one na siguro, the bad weather. Anyway, I was really blessed that night. Kahit na kaunti lang kami, I really felt His presence. Masaya. Singspiration pa lang. Kahit may kaunting gulo na nangyari, enjoy pa din. :) (ehem) Well, kasama lang iyon sa "collection of bloopers" :).
During the testimony, everybody was really glad to share how God moved in their lives. Most of us or almost all of us spoke about the Recital last Sunday, 31st of May, in which everyone was really blessed and amazed at how God moved during that event. Preparations pa lang, kahit may problems na nag-arise, still God is in control. And that night of the Recital was amazing. Everyone also enjoyed the mime show/blacklight show. They even requested us to perform it again. We were shocked but of course we did the whole thing again, with all the videos set. They said it was wonderful and somehow I realized that it was really God who was in control during our performance. To tell you the truth, the reason behind that successful performance was just "A Simple Prayer". Yes, minutes before our performance while we were arranging our queue and everything, Ate Kaycee called our attention and suggested that we should utter a prayer. So she led the prayer, then we came out from the office to start our presentation.
SO, going back to the Prayer Meeting...
I was glad about what Pastor shared with us during his message. It was about waiting for the right time, or waiting for God's time. I really learned a lot na siguradong magagamit ko in my everyday situations. Natutunan ko na ang mundo ay mahilig magmadali. The world believes that life is too short so dapat lahat ng mga gusto natin, magawa or makuha agad natin, which is not good. Sa pagmamadali kasi, maaaring magkamali. Those people who are always in a hurry may take wrong turns because they believe only in what they can do or according to their own plans. So, the Bible says that we must wait. Wait for God's perfect time. One of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Our God has lots of great and perfect plans for each and everyone of us. All we have to do is obey and follow His will, and wait for His perfect time. We must pray for whatever it is that we want, and of course, leave everything up to Him.
I encourage everyone to attend. It's a nice feeling na mawala ang pagod after ng buong week ng school or work through prayer meeting. This is a time kasi that we praise and thank God and altogether we pray for everybody, everybody's needs, the world, etc. Nakakawala ng pagod, right. :)
So next prayer meeting, I'm sure everyone will be blessed again. :)

it's a happy day
9:21am. Thursday. Nagising ako sa mga missed calls at text messages from a special someone. Yes, we had a date. Oops! Not a date pala. It's just a bonding session (as what we usually call it), another chance with my bestfriend. Naka-leave ulit siya just to have some time with me. Katatapos lang ng recital sa church. The event made us so busy for several weeks, with all the rehearsals and stage setups that made us very tired, we decided to have some time together, just a coffee would do, then some chitchat, and wallah, masaya na kami doon. Thank God my mom said a yes, na payag siyang gumala kami. yey! blah blah blah.
Bad weather. Still we went to the mall. ikot-ikot. Then we decided to have our lunch at Teriyaki Boy. Delicious! :) Then, chitchat, about different things. Future plans. Church. Studies. Practicum. Drama. etc. Hindi ko na matandaan what happened next. We just went to another mall para kunin iyong pera ni Ate Kaycee. Then I bought two pouch bags for me and my mom. Then he bought me a shirt because he liked the color. "malamig sa mata". Yeah right. I'll wear it on Saturday. :) We went to bayan to buy the cake na promise niya kay mommy. Then we went home.
It's a happy day for us. Simpleng araw pero masaya. Simpleng araw pero makulet. Simpleng araw pero dami ko pa din natutunan sa kanya. :) Thanks hmm :) *i enjoy every moment with you, every day, every hour, every minute, every second. Corny ba? Yeah, I agree.hahaha. But still, thank you for the time, oras na kailangan mo i-sacrifice (oi naka-ilang leave ka na) hehe :) Thanks for all the funny stories and lessons na natututunan ko sayo. Sa lahat ng kwentuhan natin, never pa nangyari iyong wala akong napulot na aral :) Sabi ko nga, no nonsense stories sa atin dahil lahat may kabuluhan. Simple man o malalim. Tayo ay may "napapagtanto" :) And that one I enjoy a lot. Kaya nga bestfriend eh, you enjoy every moment. Thanks! :) I'm looking forward to more coffee, more rainy days, more window shopping, more kulitan, more kwentuhan, more "unahan prayers during lunch", more biglaang silent moments, more biglaang tawanan, more plans for the future, and many many more moments with you.

better days
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

And sing out loud

Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
