I never realized the power of little oatmeal bars. Aside from its very nutritious content, it can easily put that grumbling stomach to silence. I'm chowing down one now. Sweet.
The second issue of Heraldo Filipino was released yesterday and I am quite satisfied with the turnout this time. Layout's much better, articles are pretty good, except for the fact that it took an era for some of the staff to submit their assignments. Damn. Pasaway.
Well, anyway I'll be going to DLSU-Manila on Monday to attend this Lasallian Press Conference Meeting. And then I can concentrate on our thesis. Research is a struggle, really.

Last Sunday, the Sports Section had their team building activity. Guess what kind of activity it was? Watching the Ateneo-La Salle game in Araneta Coliseum! Hahaha... I was there too. It was really fun! I even saw old friends from Notre Dame of Greater Manila who're now studying in DLSU-Manila. Anyway, La Salle defeated Ateneo 78-60. A very one-sided match, I must say.
I was just wondering why one of Ateneo's slogans or something is "Win or lose it's the school we choose." I feel like it has a negative connotation to it. Are Ateneans anticipating defeat or something? No matter, that is just how I see it.
Oh I saw Louieji after the game too. I felt bad because I was supposed to buy an extra ticket for his brother but it slipped off my mind wasn't able to. Tsk tsk tsk short-term memory sickness.

I am currently in my Video Post Production class were Professor Artin Umali's supposed to be teaching us how to edit videos and similar stuff using Adobe Premiere. Unfortunately, I'm assigned to a computer with an obvious defect. I can't save my project!! Tell me, what is the using of doing a project but in the end you can't save it? Bad luck. That's why I decided to update my blog. Yes, during class.

Yesterday I was at La Salle Greenhills for a seminar regarding DLSU's stand on the Gloriagate scandal. However, I find it ironic and futile since the Lasallian Brothers have already released a statement in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. I mean, what if some of us disagreed on certain points in the statement? I guess the problem lies in the fact that they already have a decision even before considering the entire community's reactions and suggestions. Sigh life's like that. Also, I missed the Broadcast Journalism General Assembly yesterday. Darn, I would've preferred attending the GA. Sounded like everybody had fun.

I bought a pair of leather shoes. No, it's nothing fancy, I just needed a new pair to sustain in the last months of my stay in DLSU-D. My feet are killing me! feel like I have blisters on my feet. And the walk from JFH to the HF Office isn't a dainty walk in the park, even though (according to Viva's friend) DLSU-D looks and feels like a theme park.

Moving on, Heraldo Filipino still does not have an adviser. Maycee and I suspect a conspiracy theory. Or maybe we're just paranoids. Well, if you're in HF I expect that your mind works in an eccentric fashion.

How can I go on life without ever facing relentless hardships nipping at my toes? It seems like I can't escape the web of challenges thoroughly blocking my path to glory. Erm that didn't sound right. Oh well...
I have this unexpected inclination towards the film House of Flying Daggers. Absolutely stunning and beautiful. Visuals were screaming greatness. Actors were exceptionally good. I just love the soundtrack. Touching and grand...
Right now, my term spells foreboding storms. I don't know if my mind or body can handle it but I'm up for the challenge...
My subjects this semester also feels like a storm gathering strength.. Boy I've never felt much pressure... Existing as a Broadcast Journalism student/Heraldo Filipino EIC is exhausting...

I'm having this lazy spell to not update my blog. I don't know, it just happens naturally. I've let so many things pass by without even posting on my blog. But whatever, it's not as if my life is going to end.

It's exactly 11 days after I turned 20. God, I can't believe I'm only a year away from becoming a dessicated adult (as stated by Viva). By the way, I bought a new phone, a Motorola E398. Really like it since I can use it as my music player. I've been uploading mp3s every other day. Though I still have to buy a memory card with a higher storage capacity. Erm, what else do you need to know?

Kursong Rizal and Public Relations, my subjects this summer, isn't all that bad. Studying Rizal actually is fun. The same can be said of Public Relations. We were assigned to create tip sheets as a substitute for our midterm exam and we could do anything we want on a letter-size paper to promote, say, Broadcast Journalism. The good thing is that due to the countless amount of time I spent ogling at the computer screen while Viva is layouting La Salleño Special, I learned Photoshop and applied it to the tip sheet. Isn't that great? Hahaha.... And I would've thought that I was a self-taught Photoshop novice.

Speaking of La Salleño Special I haven't finished it yet. We're like 90 percent done but because three articles are yet to be submitted we are stuck at the lack of some other people's negligence (my, I sound harsh). Oh well, they better pass soon or I will rip their pages off of my precious La Salleño. Hopefully, the students and faculty will appreciate the magazine. I wonder what I would do if I see some jerk using my magazine as a placemat. Gits. They don't even know how hard it is to come up with an 80 page magzine. Poor harajuku boy. Haha

Have you heard of "Sleeps With Butterflies" by Tori Amos? I love that song. Tori Amos never fails to impress me. So, as soon as I saw her new album, The Beekeeper, I immediately bought a copy and it was a good buy. The Killers' album Hot Fuss is already in stores so that's my new target.

I'm also glad that my favorite tennis player, Juan Carlos Ferrero, is slowly regaining his form. He reached the Monte Carlo Masters Series semifinals, losing to Guillermo Coria. Because of that, Ferrero propelled himself to No. 21 in the ATP Champions Race and No. 58 in the Entry Rankings. It's a slow and arduouus climb back atop the rankings but he'll be back that's for sure.

Have you ever had the idea of wanting to be born again? I'm not pertaining to the religion but literally being born again.
I want to. But I can't. I don't know but I feel like I want to start all over again. It's just that things are complicated now. In fact, I am lost, stuck in a moment. There's always a feeling of hatred in me that I can't seem to get rid of. Maybe because I enjoy it or I live for it. I am such a strange person, am I? Some people know that I have a thousand insecurities in life. And I wonder if other people notice it too. Who cares anyway....

I'm always in this self-pity mode that I can't seem to turn off...

Sometimes, I'm so frustrated with the way I am...

People don't know how I feel...

You have no idea...

Our thesis was approved!! Haha can't say anything. I'm just so happy. However, it doesn't end there. We are now moving to the harder parts: Chapters 4 and 5. But for now, I'll celebrate. Hahaha. We got 99%....
