Awesoooome day! ;)

July 24. I love this day! :) I got a perfect score again in Math17 recit exercise. All the hard works and nerve wracking solving practices last night really paid off. I also bought a puppy, its breed is parson Russell terrier :) It is cute and really adorable ;)

There are still...

July 23 As I'm riding in a jeepney on my way back here in Los Banos, my heart jumped in joy because I saw that there are still gentlemen around. Two lady passengers were left with a not so comfortable seat, and that two gentlemen offered to sacrifice there comfy position so as the ladies won't burden. Amazing isn't it? You can hear almost everywhere that there are many incidents of women abuse but still there are like those men who knows the value ofrespect for women. It is a bit hard on their part also, sitting on just half of the seat and not resting their back for about an hour, but still they managed and did it. I always admire gentlemen. I salute all of you out there. :)

Not feeling well

July 18.
Ugh. I'm not feeling so well today. I was very dizzy during the morning, but I need to get up and prepare myself to go and attend my classes. On the evening, my condition got worse than earlier, I felt like as if I'm going to vomit anytime and I see that the world is turning upside down literally. Good thing that my roommates were there, they helped and assisted me until I recovered. Thanks girls! ;). But still, I miss how my mother cares for me every time I got sick. For the past 15 years, she's the only one taking care of me, and I can say that really it is an EXCEPTIONAL LOVE AND CARE :)

FUN RUN :D

July 14 :)

Today is the 1st KapaligiRUN. Green run for Makiling Forest ;)

This was the first time that I joined such fun run :) because I am not a very athletic type of person, that's why. I enjoy playing chess and other board games than to sweat through running and other physical activities. I even recall way back my grade school and high school years, I just pay the registration fee every fun run that we have, but I don't attend any of those. But, since I'm now a college student, I want to EXPLORE :D, to experience something new, so I really made it a point to join in this said fun run :). Since this is also required for my PE1 class, I really have to join. I walked/ jog/ ran three kilometers for about 30 minutes :). The happiest part during the fun run is running with your friends, and when all of you are tired, you'll just stroll/walk and chitchat :). Being able to help the Makiling forest and at the same time, being a healthier person is such a great achievement. Being able to reach the finish line for a beginner like me is very fulfilling. :). More fun runs to join in the near future, that's what I'll promise to myself :)

That feeling... :)

July 11 (Wednesday)

I and my friends walked around the C-Park in UPLB at around 9 o'clock in the evening after eating our dinner at the Boston Cafe :). Suddenly, I saw a kid selling sampaguita. That kid approached  us. He requested us to buy sampaguita from him. My friends ignored the kid's request and said that they've no money left on their pocket. But, I get a money from my pocket and donated it to the kid. I didn't anymore get the sampaguita because I have no altar in my apartment to hang it on, and, also, he may be able to get additional money for selling it to other people. I said to the kid, "O bata, ito P40, bili mo ito ng pagkain, umuwi ka na rin sa inyo, gabi na, baka mapahamak ka pa." He, then, replied, "Opo, thank you po. God bless po. God bless."

I was struck. I am really touched because nowadays, showing gratitude isn't a mainstream anymore. Though, I am not asking for recognition for the act that I voluntarily did, it feels too good to hear people uttering words of thanks towards you. Even if that P40 seems so little for us, for that kid, it seems so big and useful. It really feels so great to help the needy people. :). For, I always believe in the saying that "What you give, will come back to you in three more folds." :D. And, I really can attest to this ;)

"SAMSON"

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

I and my group really enjoyed the song-listening activity that we had during ENG 1 last Friday. We were very amazed and shocked to find out the truth about the song, that it wasn't Delilah who sang it, but another woman, whom Delilah commanded to cut Samson's hair because she herself can't do it. For my 15 years of existence here in Earth, it was the very first time that I discovered the truth behind that song because I always believed before that it was Delilah who sang it. I didn't even know that Delilah wasn't  really the one who cut Samson's hair because if I remember it right, based from my story book when I was still a diaper denizen, it was her. But, as Sir Embate revealed to us the lyrics to prove that there's another woman like: "I loved you first, I loved you first", "And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us, not even once" "Samson came to my bed"-meaning they are in separate beds. Knowing these facts are really INTRIGUING, AWESOME and AMAZING! :D
