Ako ay hindi gaanong mahilig magpupunta sa mga museo, pero nung ako ay nakarating sa Mowell fund ay natuwa ako at naaliw sa mga nilalaman nito. Marahil nakakapagod lamang ang pag punta dahil mejo mahirap ito hanapin at ito’y tago kumpara sa ibang museo.

            Ang pagbisita ko sa Mowell fund kinakailangan dahil para ito sa isa kong kurso, nung una ako ay hindi natuwa sa balitang field trip ito pero nung ako’y nakarating na ay kinain ko rin ang sinabi ko. Ang Mowell fund ay isang lugar na maraming matututunan ang isang estudyanteng kagaya ko. Lalo na maaaliw ang isang bata kung mahilig ito sa mga literaturang bagay o minsan na tinatawag na mga pelikula.

            Ako ay mahilig sa mga ganoong klaseng bagay, kaya sa unang pag pasok palang ng museo ay todo todo ang pag papa piktyur ko sa mga bagay na hindi normal na makikita mo lamang kung saan saan. Tulad ng isang box na may laman na mga pelikula dahil dati daw ay maiikli lamang ang mga pelikula at mapapagod ka sa kakapanood nito.

            Habang patagal ng patagal ang ebolusyon ng industriyang pelikula ay nag ebolb. Ang iba ay maganda ang pinatungunan at ang iba ay hindi. Ang Mowell fund ay ang takbuhan ng mga artista na may problemang pang pinansyal o kung sa tawag natin na-laos narin. Mahirap isipin pero tamang ideya na itinayo ito para sa kanila.

            Sa pagbabalik sa mga natutunan ko ay marami rin palang mga kagamitan na naka ekshibit at pang aliw lamang sa mga bisita tulad ng mga gamit ni kristala. Mayroon din ang mga kagamitan na ginagamit sa mga horror na pelikula na shang kinatakot ng mga estudyante.

            Sa mga natutunan ko at sa magandang ekspiryens ko sa Mowell fund ay masasabi ko na magandang malaman ang historya ng mga pelikula dahil ito’y sariling atin.

Dati alam natin na ang Pilipinas ay isa sa mga nangunguna na bansa sa asya. Pero ngayon, isa na tayo sa mga kulelat at nag aagaw buhay na bansa. Bakit ba? Anon a ang nagyari sa ating katayuan dati?

            Naniniwala ako na marami rin ang sanhi ng paghihirap nang ating bansa. Sa tingin ko ay unang una ay ang tao na hindi sumang ayon sa pag invest sa pag lago ng agrikultura natin tulad nila Lorenzo Tanada. Dahil ang pag promote nito ay hindi lang sa mayayaman pabor, kundi sa mahihirap rin at magkakaroon pa ng maraming trabaho ang mga tao. Yan ang aking napulot na kaalaman sa isa ko pang kurso na inaaral.

            Ang aking sariling pananaw naman ay “disiplina” lamang. Marahil ay isipin mo na napaka walang kwenta ng aking dahilan pero simpleng salita lang yan at hirap na tayong mga Pilipino gawin iyan.

            Pagiging tamad ang nakikita kong isang rason ng hindi pag unlad nating mga Pilipino. Marahil ay tayo ay may mga kakayahan para hindi masayang ang ating mga araw. Pag ako’y pumapasok sa eskwela ay marami akong nakikitang mga tambay sa kalye na maaga pa ay nag iinuman na. Pano ba naman tayo aasenso sa lagay na iyon? Wala nang inisip kung hindi ang sarili.

            Pangalawa ay ang pagiging suapang ng mga Pilipino. Dahil ditto ay hindi natututo ang mga opisyal na namumuno na ipinanalo nung eleksyon para magtrabaho. Sa aking eksperiens sa isang local na pamahalaan tulad ng Land Transportation Office o mas kilala sa tawag na LTO ay nalaman ko kung ano ano ang pinag gagawa ng mga tao sa loob habang nasa oras ng trabaho. Napakadami nilang mga tauhan pero napakabagal ng proseso para sa isang taong naghihintay. Hindi kulang sa pondo ang ating gobyerno kundi grabe na ang korupsyon sa ating bansa.

            Pangatlo ay ang kakulangan nang pagpapahalaga sa edukasyon sa ating bansa. Naniniwala ako na edukasyon ang susi sa pagiging matagumpay ng isang tao. Hindi ko naman sinasabi na kung di ka nakapag aral ay di ka na uunlad. Kanya kanya rin yan ng diskarte pero mas maganda kung ikaw ay tapos sa pag-aaral. Kulang tayo sa edukasyon dahil walang pera ang mga tao. Sunod sunod lang yan. Pag may pera ay makakapag aral.

            Ang mga nabangit ko na problema sa ating bansa ay dapat mabago maliit man o malaki dahil ang pagbabago ay nagsisimula sa sarili bago sa mga kasama natin. Ultimo maliit ay pag nagtagal magiging malaki rin.

        Hindi biro ang magpatakbo ng negosyo, lalo na kung nasa field ito ng transportasyon dahil alam natin pag transportasyon ay may mga gulong ito. Ang aking ibig sabihin ay pwedeng maka aksidente ito o magastos ang pag maintain ng mga ito. Lalo na kung mga bus na pang pasahero na malalaki o pang probinsya.

            Marami ang kailangan para makapag tayo sa ganitong negosyo. Unang una ay pera. Kailangan ay mayroon kang pang capital para sa pag down payment ng mga unit na gagamitin sa negosyo sa bangko.Kung ang mga unit ay tumatakbo na ay bantayin rin ang mga ito pag dating sa may ari ng kompanya.

            Ang pagkakaroon ng ganitong negosyo ay dapat dedikado para patakbuhin ito ng maayos. Kailangan ang malaking oras para sa pag babantay ng pag takbo ng mga ito. Nag dedepende rin ang iyong kompanya sa daloy ng trapiko dahil ditto nabubuhay ang mga operators nito. Pag maraming sasakyan ang naka balandra sa daan ay mabagal ang pag akyat ng kita sa konmpanya.

            Isa pa ay dapat nababantayan ang konsumo ng gasoline o krudo ng sasakyan dahil maraming nagkakanakawan ditto sa ating bansa. Kahit naikarga na ang krudo sa sasakyan ay ang mga walang hiyang truper nito ay pwedeng ibenta sa iba sa paraan ng pag drain nito. Alam rin natin na tuloy tuloy rin ang pagtaas ng mga produkto ng petrolyo.

            Ang pag kuha nang ganitong unit ay hindi basta basta, tulad ng nasabi ko ay nilo-loan ito sa banko at kailangan kumita ang isang unit ng kompanya ng sapat para sa pag bayad ng monthly amortization nito sa banko. Kung hindi ay hihilahin nito ng walang kalaban laban sa kompanya.

            Para maitaguyod ang ganitong negosyo o kahit saan man ay unang una disiplina ng may- ari ang lagging nakikita ng mga tauhan. Lagi rin dapat pinapakisamahan ang mga tao at alamin kung ano ang kanilang kailangan. Pag nataguyod ito ay sisiguraduhin ko na hindi malulugi ang inyong negosyo at lalago pa ito.

Naniniwala ako na kailangan na intelektwalisa ang Filipino sa International Studies dahil marami ang magkakabenepisyo dito. Hindi lamang mga estudyante na kagaya ko na nag-aaral nang ganong kurso kung hindi ay ang mga tao na sangkot sa mga International field ng ating bansa. Marahil siguro hindi pa naman ito masyado maiintidihan ng mga ibang tao, pero ay dapat pag aralan muna nila kung ano ang magandang mga bagay na idudulot nito sa ating bansa.  

Ang International Studies ay ang sa aking pagkakaalam ay isang malawak na field, hindi lamang ito sa negosyo o sa mga bagay na basta basta lamang. Ang International Studies sa tingin ko ay ang pinaka malawak na kurso na pwedeng ma-explore ng isang estudyante. Kumbaga malaking bagay ang komunikasyon sa International Studies, ito ang madalas kailangan gamitin ng mga tao. Naniniwala rin ako na kailangan mabigyan pansin ang Filipino pag dating sa International Studies, marahil sa aking pinagdaanan bilang estudyante ay puro ingles ang aming ginagamit na wika para sa pag tukoy ng mga bagay na kasama nito. Pangalawa naniniwala ako na ang Filipino ay dapat maipagmalaki natin pag tayo nakipag sapalaran sa ibang mga bansa dahil ang International Studies ay more of foreign works. Kumbaga ang pag katapos ng mga inaaral namin ay pwede kami mag trabaho sa mga embahada ng ibang bansa at para lalo tayo makilala bilang Pilipino. Ang pagkakaalam ko dahil sa komunikasyon sa ibang tao, hindi masyado nabibigyan pansin ang Filipino dahil madalas ay ingles ang mga kasundo ng mga bagay bagay satin. 

Marahil ang pag intelektwalisa ng Filipino para sa mga estudyante ay magiging mahirap dahil karamihan sa mga magaaral ng De La Salle ay hindi makaintindi ng malalalim na Salita, pero mas maganda na ito para sila ay gumaling at hindi ma buro sa pag gamit ng Filipino. Ang pagkakaroon ng ganitong proyekto ay siguradong magbubukas ng mga opurtunidad para sa mga tao na sangkot sa mga foreign works at para sa mga estudyante.  

Sa aking nakikita ang pag intelektwalisa sa Filipino ay walang bagay na masamang idudulot, siguro ay madadagdagan lang ng konting hirap at baka hindi pa maisaayos ang proseso nito para lang sa benepisyo ng mga estudyante at mga kabataan.

Good afternoon people. After the student council freshmen elections, i felt like i'm so blessed by god. Having those sacrifices by going home late, imagine that I leave the school at around 9:15 PM just to have our room to room campaign preparations for the next day. It took a month for that routine for me,but I'm telling you it's worth it!. Even before the elections, me and my runningmates felt that we're already winners. You know why?, because we gained lots of friends during the campaign period. Seriously everyday we go around the building and talk to hundreds of people during break time, even if we know that the person belongs to the other party. I'm sure that I'm going to miss the RTR's and my favorite line during campaign. This line "Kaya't sa FAST 2005,sino ba talaga ang dapat?!".

The first day of elections, for me kinda sour due to most of the votes are for the other party but it doesn't mean that we lost our confidence. When the second day came it was our day, honestly I already had a feeling that we're all going to win if it's already the last day of elections but it's not we still had friday. We saw lots of DERECHO votes came in the box, when you say DERECHO it means that the voter voted all the candidates from Santugon. Adding up to the second day this ugly girl from the other party shouted at me to shut up but in fact I was saying nothing, how stupid she is. I just laughed at her when Hanna our mommy took me away from her haha. When the last day of elections came, I dropped by the chapel before going to tambex to say lots of prayers for the elections, by the way I always go to the chapel before the day starts. When I arrived tambex, I was talking to our mommies namely Bea and Hanna and told them that I was feeling something. I told them that "feeling ko mamaya...DERECHO!" then they told me "sana!". When the Comelec opened their booth, it's game time baby!. Bringing people from their room to the booth was very tiring compared to the RTR's. When they closed the booth at 5PM, we took lots of pictures for Keena's multiply haha. The Santugon core decided to let us stay at the 3rd floor when the Comelec started to count votes. We prayed a lot of times and asked God to give us lots of DERECHO votes and played some funny games.

When our mommies talked to us, I was so nervous then told us not to forget the things we learned from them and don't forget the people who helped us even if we lose the elections. When Edrix and Ramon (top 2 core) came inside the room, I started praying silently and started to cry because I just want to hear only one word for the result. After announcing the first 2 colleges, it's our turn. I won;t forget how Hanna announced the result,went like this "CLA,kahit ang ba-bano niyo mag RTR...DERECHO TAYO!!!". I kept on crying that night with our campaign officers it's because all of us won!. DERECHO CLA!!!

During the night we stayed at Mcdo with our mommies and some of the campaign officers. I received lots of texts from the people who congratulated us 4, thank you! I went home with Den and Raymond and talked lots of elections,campaigns stuff and it's so fun! Grabe! ang sarap manalo!. This one is not for us 4, it's for the batch of FAST 2005!

To the Santugon core thank you! sobrang laki ng nabago sakin, lam niyo naman nakwento ko na yan nung "taya box" diba? haha ayoko na umiyak ulit! haha salamat sa pagtiwala niyo sakin,kung alam niyo lang kung gano ka special sakin iba talaga!. To the Campaign officers, salamat rin kase laking tulong kayo saming 4 nila Bingo,Y2k,Ian at sakin! kayo nagpapanalo saming 4,hindi kami aabot dito kundi dahil sa inyo! For FAST 2005, thanks for believing in us the Fantastic 4, we'll do great job for you guys!

A message for my fellow teammates/friends/ayala boys:

We may not be the champion but think what have we made through out the season. We are rookies in the juniors division thus we still played yesterday in the championship game. Most of the people in the league didn't think that we're going to play on that day, but we did!. Yes,we all want to win but it can't be two teams having the respect and trophy. That's okey, this summer was our first year in that division and next season...we'll get back on your asses! peace!

I salute my teammates who played hard and thank you for the wonderful summer I spent with you guys!. Before school starts, let's enjoy the remaining days of vacation.

Congratulations to IC and Tonino, for being a member of the mythical five.

Now I am officially enrolled in DLSU, which means I'm going to study there for the first term. The enrollment in my school is well organized but with the extreme heat plus the overpopution inside the accounting area, I'm sweating while I'm in line with some batchmates. It took me around almost three hours and I still have my medical exam and my picture taking. When I was done with the payments I just got my schedule and dropped by McDonald's Taft to fix some documents. I skipped my medical exam and my picture taking, and I did it this morning.

Yesterday, I had my enrollment and went home around 1PM. I killed my time sitting with my computer and we went to the gym at Fitness First Libis. We tried the Cosmic Cycling but unfortunatelly we left the room after 30 minutes of cardio. We spent almost 4 hours in the gym and spent the night at Eastwood. We ate at Fazoli's(where the place to be haha), and checked some cars at the car show in front of the fastfood. We watched triple X2, starring Ice Cube with Samuel Jackson. The movie was supposed to be nice, but with the exagerated effects...made it sour. Imagine a sports car jumping from the rode towards the rail way to chase the president's bullet train. It's okey but we can't get our money back(haha).

Today, I went to DLSU again for my medical exam. I thought that the rumors inside the medical room aren't true. I was shocked when the doctor told me to put down my pants(haha). I had my picture taking too and went home after. I took the MRT and the LRT then my driver picked me up at the GMA station. My parent's and I ate lunch at Trellis restaurant but the waiter pissed my mom off with his stupidity. I played ball with the Ayala boys and slept for a while when got home. When my driver arrived, I dropped by Fitness First Libis to workout and after that Tonino and I went to the clubhouse to play ball again.

I am now an official freshie at DLSU, and I am now excited for the LPEP already but not with the opening of classes.

It's been like 30 hours since my brother and sister left last night for San Francisco. Yes people, I am home alone with my parent's so a bit of excitement and a lot of stress. Excitement because I own the house right now and stress due to I'll be forced to get up at an earlier time again. The usual time I used to wake up is 830 AM but for the past few days I've been waking up at 7:20 AM sharp. This proves that day by day I'm being more responsible and my parent's are proud at me by doing that sacrifice.

Yesterday was a big day for us Ayala Heights players. We played against the veterans the BF Homes, good thing we won the game with 3 points. I sucked yesterday at the game, my playing time isn't that long plus I had this offensive foul with this small guy. I admit that I did it but he was the first to hit me, so when I had this chance to hit him at his jaw I did it then the referee turned the ball to the opponent. It's okey for me because I know that really hurts, but for the team it's a turnover. Louie and EJ was the one who played box and one for their star player and not me, of course I can't guard a 6 foot 3 guy.After the game we went to McDonald's to celebrate and talk about the game. Finally we're on the semis, we'll have a game against Vista Real on Wednesday and we're sure that we'll get back on you guys. Good luck to team Ayala Heights!

Today, Me and the Ayala boys with some girls are supposed to have an outing. No one in the Ayala boys went to the outing because all of us aren't available but some said "yes" to Kayelle. The outing turned out to be a girl camp and I think they're having fun right now.I woke up at around 10:30 this morning, so it's too late for me to hear mass at the clubhouse. I decided to go to Capitol Hills and hear mass there, I saw Ekay and Carlo.

Right now I must change because Hanz will pick me up to go to her love one.(Joppy style of ending his entry haha plagerism!!!)

Nowadays I've been too lazy to write an an entry here in my blog, It's maybe because I'm busy and at the same time I'm just lazy. Speaking of busy, yeah on Saturday my brother Pau and my little sister are leaving for States so I'll be the one left here in the country with my parent's.Yes! I'm almost home alone!. 

This week is one hell week for me, because I need to finish all my requirements for my application in the States. Like the PPD tests and medical exams, crap! waste of time! haha. Good thing the PPD test is just optional, so it means they don't have to get my blood for my medical tests. Plus I have phobia in needles, I know it doesn't hurt that much but the thing is I don't like them. I just had my medical paper filled up by our pediatrician and a few questions asked to me. After their flight I know that I'm going into a different stage, my brother's not around and I'll be the first option of my dad in the field of business transactions. I know that's kinda complicated but I just need to deal with it, it's my OJT for the summer. I know this can be a big exposure for me again but It's okey I still have time for myself. i used to get up around 8 AM and go to the office and stay there until 1 PM, it's my time, Niko time baby!.

I can this week is a good one too, Team Ayala had a 2 game winning streak. We need to win the game on Saturday and we'll just have to prepare for the semis.

Tuesday, We played against New Intramuros Village. Our UAAP players are not around and same with the opponent. Coach Bri wasn't around too so me and Carlo managed the rotation for the team. All of the players played and we won with a large margine of points. It's the comeback of Team Ayala!.

Wednesday, We battled the so called "La Salle team". Their stars weren't around at the 1st half of the game so we ate them alive. Finally their star player arrived with fellow teammates in school, but we managed to controll the game even without our Point Guard Irvin. I played point guard again with Gelo and during defense I was the one who takes care of their star. One thing that kept us alive it's because Tonino was super red hot during the game. He played like a superstar in the game, fighting for the boards against the NCAA players. We ate again in the supersized meal fastfood again after the game and celebrated!. 

"garapal na nga sila maghatak ng players...talunan parin!, sorry boys! hehe"
