McDonalds and BioFlu


Thank God It's Friday!
That's what you say when you end the week free again from stress and hassles.
But not for me.
I'm stuck here in my room, bedridden and suffering from flu.

I don't understand why I got this.
I mean, I'm healthy this week until today.
I was feeling really weird, stuffy nose, raspy voice and a killer headache.
I couldn't even get out of my room coz I feel dizzy and all, not to mention one moment that everything went blurry and I collapsed. Triggered by my anemia.
And all I ate this day is McDonalds breakfast meal and fries ordered online which is not so healthy to eat for a sick person.
I also took some medicines to cure my flu. I hope it's working.
It's still TGIF though, That's Great, It's Flu. (and I'm being sarcastic). :(

I wasn't able to attend our video shoot for our Filipino commercial (and I was the cameraman/assistant director for that).
I wasn't able to go to work, and have a DOTA night (revenge) with my workmates.
Ugh! That really sucks!

But it was a good thing in a little way coz at least I had a day for me to rest from this really busy week. (being optimistic. haha)
I guess you really get sick when you're all stressed up from school (especially when you're graduating in college) and lots to do in work (especially when you're a programmer).
So you gotta take care of your body if you want to graduate and earn money.
But at least I had a break from all the problems because of the flu.

I'm hoping I'll be okay this weekend coz it's Valentines Day and I have a lot of appointments.
No, I don't have a "date" date, but I have bonding time with my friends.
Yeah, that's what single people do, flock during Valentines. hahaha

Have a great weekend and Valentines day everyone!! :D

The Next Adviser of Juan dela Cruz



Everyday, we are bombarded with choices.
What to wear, what food to eat, what jeepney to ride, if you have to go to your class or not, what sites to browse, etc.
But on May 10, 2010, we have a very important decision to make.
A choice that will change our country.
A choice that will lead its people to progress.
A choice that will earn every Filipino a job and an education.
A choice that will uplift our economy.
A choice for the new President of the Republic of the Philippines.

I myself have not yet decided on who to vote this election.
It's difficult especially when you don't know anyone in the running presidentiables.
So you read newspapers, search the internet, and ask some people about them.
And I must say, I have quite of information stocked in my brain about these people.
I learned about their background, their accomplishments and especially the controversies they were involved in.
Knowing all these, I have to decide on who deserves my vote. The lesser "evil" among them.
But even that, it's hard to know.

But there's one thing in my mind that concerns me more.
That is on what these leaders can give to our country.
Do they have the capabilities of uplifting our economy?
Do they have passion on helping the poor?
Do they value that much on education and innovation?
Do they have enough confidence and skills on making efforts for foreign investors to invest in our country?
Do they really mean when they say "I won't be corrupt again" and "I won't steal to the country's fund"?
Do they really have what it takes to run the country?

I think these questions should bear to us when choosing who to vote this election.
We should not be affected by their campaign ads, annoying jingles, their moms/dads/lolo/lola, or even the celebrities endorsing them.
None of that helps in improving our country.
What we need to think about is on what they can do.
Who is more realistic in their stategies?
Who has a "clean" record? And when I say "clean", I mean a lot good and helpful accomplishments.
By that, we can assess the things he/she can do for our country by the things he/she has already contributed.
Let's not depend on their blah-blah talks, but on the things they've done for us already.

Our country is already having a hard time.
Countless unemployed citizens, out-of-school youths, shortage of food, and corruption.
And we can't afford to add another bastard running our country for the next 6 years do nothing.
Our country needs us.
And all it takes is to vote for the right person.
WE SHOULD NOT LET THEM BUY OUR VOTES.
WE SHOULD NOT TOLERATE THEM TO CHEAT THIS ELECTION.
WE SHOULD NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES WE ALREADY MADE THIS DECADE.
This one vote will make a difference to our country.
So let's make the right choice.
Let us vote for the right person.
I am not encouraging you on the specific person to vote. We have different views in life. I just hope that at the end of the day, we have made the right decision.

Let us help our country.
It's the one vote that will change our life and way of living.

LET US VOTE WISELY.

Tying the Strings





Recollection day with the whole graduating (and non-graduating) CS-IT-ACT class.
It was really fun and I had learn soooo many things!
But the best part is that we we able to share to each other our hopes, problems, dreams, and inspirations that had molded us to become a person throughout our college life.

Yeah, college is never easy. Especially when you are a CS/IT student. All that thesis, projects, 10, 26, SAD, DB, Physics, Compiler. VERY STRESSFUL!
But in the end, you realize, when you are in the stage getting that diploma, you can say "YEY, I MADE IT AND IT'S ALL WORTH IT!"

Anyway, these strings are our way of expressing our affirmations, forgiveness and thanks to our friends who have been with us since college. I'm glad people expressed their feeling towards each other, able to patch unresolved issues, and thankful for being always there when in need.

3 weeks to go people and we'll see each other HOPEFULLY in SOUTH CAMPUS practicing our graduation march. :)
