Just Random Thoughts

June 16th, 2008 by thegeographer2578

Ok, I believe that I’m not actually in the mood of writing a new blog post yet but because I feel so uneasy, unprepared for school year 2008-2009 yet, and I feel a little bit insomniac, then I guess I have to post this stuff.

First, I feel a little bad today because I’ve been known to correct people of their grammars and pronunciations…but did you know that I felt so bad that I mispronounced the word "regurgitate"? jaja… No, I never felt bad because of Jordee. In fact, I want to thank her for correcting me. It’s better when close people correct you than being the laughing stock in public… It just felt like, oh, I’ve been reminded of my imperfections once again… But after feeling so bad about that, I realize that, hey! I’m only human and no matter how good I am in English and many other languages, I still have some room for improvement… ;-) so the next time that I will say regurgitate, rest assured, it is [rIgurdzitaet]…that’s the nearest IPA symbols using keyboard…jajaja

Moving on, well… I am so tired today…Yes, classes have officially resumed and it made me kinda reflect on two more years in college… On this matter, I’d like to set a few points. First, I feel so opposite to how I felt when classes started in High School. Yes, I’ve written a blog about that before… But it seems that when you’re 20 years old, your mindset is far away from the confines of being a teenager… You learn more on how to breathe, relax, glance around the environment, still be the unique you while exploring your other aspects, etc…
Second, I love my family before, now, and forever…and I treasure the way we are…and I thank God endlessly about that… But you know what, a 20 year old guy…even in a nurtured background…feels a little imprisoned. It’s like solitary confinement. There’s this breaking free idea… and it grows stronger by the moment… I feel such a dork sometimes when I look at myself and say, "Hey Chip, it seems that you are sooooo stranded and grounded at home… Why try new things outside?" I wished!!! But I guess it’s not a time for me yet to be too much liberated. I will grow up at my own pace and people will respect me more for that. Anyway, even if I present some boring jokes in outside the house, I never run out of reasons not to be loved… jaja… I don’t mean to be boastful; I’m just telling something real.

Perhaps, my "Renaissance" will arrive after I graduate college… Honestly speaking, college is already a draggy show for me… Sometimes, I want to weep so hard because I really want to succeed and break the chains that tangle me in this abyss. However, God always makes a way for me to cope with this madness…this sadness…this loneliness I feel about Accounting that gives me fire to succeed in this most trying part of my life…and I will discuss that in the next part.

Third, I have this weird stuff going on… Jaja… I don’t believe I should discuss this to the World specifically…but I know that there are people who will understand me in this matter. Well, ah! For the first time in my life, I feel so Topsy-turvy… Not necessarily overall, coz thank God, my life is intact… But in another sense, some part of me is so messed up…in a good way…

Well, here it goes… It was just months ago when one of the oddest but one of the most unique chemistry that I had with a close friend finally came to an end… We were friends for like years already and I won’t add some more to divulge whatsoever stuff that might awaken evil imaginations… To cut the story short, for 100 days, I had one of the most challenging, funny, controversial, and ah! inexplainable… experience with that person. To some who I’ve told about this… it was like… a silver lining in a cloud… Accounting tortures were blitzkrieg-ing me from left to right… but there was a spot in that part of my life were I found a new feeling of belongingness. Yes! I found love from my family and it shaped my life today for the best. I have God’s love that keeps me fighting. I have my friend’s acceptance that kept me calm in the outside; sometimes, my evil ego is unleashed whenever friends come along… But that other kind of "recognition" was so weird. I’ve received lots of Academic awards before and they made me happy too. However, this "recognition" I am talking about was just so far on the other side that it shifted some rationalities in me. In that "era", I felt like I win battles not like before (before, I win battles by attacking…but from then on, I win battles through… LOVE?) jajaja

It kinda stressed me too… Some of your friends had this kind of "Oh, I’m sensing something fishy going on" look on me. The pressure to keep secrecy from the World was horrendous. And blah blah blah…and all those secret stuff…and finally, Christmas came and I realized something. That experience was too intense indeed. Too great was it that I finally decided that hey! I have to lay back and enjoy what happened… and so it halted… and it was good in a way for it gave me time to breathe, recollect the experience, and maintain friendship at a very amicable level… but the "pain" part was the acceptance that in that "experience", we’ve met our climax…the zenith…the peak… and there’s no point higher than that or further for us to continue… and so… jaja

and for months… I bore the "benefit of a doubt" for me to go on with life as if it just moves on … like a kingdom that strives to recover from a tedious war…a costly war… but a war worth fighting for… and it told me that a transition towards being solo is as sufficing as a transition from being solo…

and for several months, I listen to Kelly Clarkson’s "Sober"… hey, for the heartbroken who feels so fixated on a ruined relationship, this song will surely cure you. ;-) And so, I was dark but not in angst anymore… I still felt like I’m in love…but still with my family, God, and myself… duh!!! jajaja

Besides, friends were always there with mew…laughing at my jokes which are mostly green and double-edged… jajaja

But summer came and CEL2 was approaching and pressure arose. Oh my,  the last string of being a BSA student lay on that summer… For nights, I struggled with myself…exchanging imaginations on Accounting and the Internet… Urgh!!! It was one of the most grueling seasons in my life.

But  events sometimes turn out into something they didn’t seem to be. I met this person in the Internet…jajaja… yes, some of you would say that the cyberworld is just like Las Vegas - what happens there stays there… blah blah blah…but who cares about you guys’ opinion… I care more about my own opinion… ;-)

And continuing, I met this person who had a great personality… Well, I will not entertain questions when we see each other in public because there are some issues that the blog can hold than physical confrontation…

So back to the story. Again, I won’t elaborate too specific events… So we almost chat every night…and day… jaja… And it seems like we almost know each other well… And friendship was the best word to describe our bonding… But just when you thought when extraordinary events rarely happen… There was this conflict on the other side. Something heart-breaking that in the end, I end up in the comforting side. It was funny though because the timing was so coincidental but very precise… precise that the events up to this day …make me ask questions but rather keep quiet and enjoy what’s in store and on hand. I’d rather keep the rest of what happened and is happening private…though it seems fun when you have someone to share it with sometimes… jajaja… I’m just so thankful for those who treated it confidentially… our friendship has surely become stronger…and you deserve to be heard to guys…when your time to love comes… jajaja

But before I end this long blog…I’d like to ask some questions…not specifically addressed to anyone. Instead, it’s like a message intended to be blown by the wind.

Why do you get lonely and impatient when you lose communication for just a day with the person you like?
Why do you give way more often when you are in love?
Why is living more bearable when you’re not alone?
Why is a simple "take care" already like winning the lottery when you ACTUALLY HEAR IT from the one you wanted it to hear from?
How is it possible for two different, distant, and opposite people to be attracted in the first place when they are not made of iron?
Why is hoping for tomorrow better sounding when you like someone than when you are not?

Well, the answer to these questions may be easier to say when you are don’t feel something for someone. Trust me! ;-)

Cheers everyone. I am sleepy now so I’ll end this blog. Goodbye now.

Por ti, mi amante. Muchas gracias por haciendome sentir como esto. No es dudo que siempre serámos una parte de el uno al otro. ;-)

Hmmm!!! Well, I’m not really in the mood to post this blog… Jaja… It’s 2 in the morning and I’m still awake… Because three of my friends asked me to post a blog… What the hell!!! jaja…

Well, I should have made the title "Untold Revelations…Revised", but I decided that I will postpone that post on a later date… coz I’m hurt right now. Rest assured, no matter how many ellipsis I’ll make here, there are no wrong grammars and spellings here… jaja… you know me, I consider one single misspelled word as "faux pas."

Hmm, sorry guys… I really ran out of something to talk about today… maybe when I’m more inclined to write…

Hmm, I just would like to thank God for doing the impossible today… JPIA team won the quiz bowl even when we were the underdogs in the early part of the contest… well, and there were our staunch supporters…Robee… and Luz was a fair judge…if only you guys saw how we fought the game like the Yom Kippur War (of course, we played Israel… jaja)

And yes, I’m hurt now… I mean… I am heartbroken… well, I won’t elaborate more… but for those who have gone through a serious relationship, you will totally understand me…

But without further ado, I will end this post…because I’m way sleepy…

;-)

bout Me section of my Multiply Account

June 5th, 2008 by thegeographer2578

Well, I already wrote this in Friendster in English and in Facebook in Spanish… Now, what? jaja…

Well, ok. you guys who’ll add me here should have known me already. I find it funny I just got Multiply now while I got FS in ‘03 and FB in ‘07. But I’m not too late, right?

Well, this is supposed to be an "About Me" section…so ok, I will not pretend because I never pretend…unless you pretend… jaja… I’m ok…normal person… though I have physical conditions that makes me abnormal… Yes, I study a lot…but my grades make up for it. And for years, I have left my face all controlled by the forces of nature…but I’m doing my best to take better care of it now.

People have negative first impressions about me and some even have negative reactions about me as time goes by… but who cares? as long as I know who I am and I believe that I have not stepped on others, then be it… There’s always God, my Family, myself, and true friends who will be there in those "dark times."

I may look like I’m so single but I’m having difficulty juggling into this "It’s Complicated" status. Fortunately, people can’t see my love life. It’s so private, I can’t even figure it out sometimes. jaja…

I always want to bew unique and I am. Actually, I’m good at things that others aren’t good at or don’t know.

I have imperfections and I totally accept them. Nonetheless, I’m doing major improvements. Yes, it’s true.

I love music. You might hear me sing like s*** but I compose songs and compile a music chart weekly since 1997. Just subscribe to it and ask me how a song charted and I’ll tell you in a few seconds.

I am a sensitive person but it’s a positive trait. You tell me something about your life and guaranteed, I’ll remember that for you when you’re already old. Sometimes, I even wonder how unfair some friendships are. I take my friends seriously but most of the time, I find my friends to be fair-weathered people. Yes, in my life so far, I can find two High-School friends and six college friends who I believe I can lean on when I am down.

I laugh a lot in front of people and I want to make my friends happy. Though I know, I can’t please everyone, it’s a mutual stuff… a few people can’t please me too… jajaja

Back to the laughing stuff… Yes, I laugh outside but deep inside, a lot of things happen. I have lots of dreams that I have to fulfill and I’ve evolved from being an Introvert to a semi-confident person through the years. I hope I’ll be more confident everyday. I have frustrations and it’s really hard to have someone to talk about it with.

Well, I thank God for all the good things that happen to my life. The bad events? well, I always do my best to get something good from them and thank God for those lessons.

I find solace and comfort when I’m alone. It’s when I can weep my heart out of the feelings that are really hurting me. I listen to sad songs. They soothe my heart. I listen to happy songs. They give me hope.

Some people might feel that I’m gay. Jaja. I’m not in the position to say that I’m gay because I don’t think that I’m gay. So how come they have that position to do so? Judgmental b******! Jaja. I’m not mad ok, I just hope you judgmental people will have your fair share of the judgments… and soon!!! jaja…

I never backbite but I talk about other people and the REAL events, words, and actions that they did. Backbiting is saying something false. I hate that! I only talk about honest stuff.

I am a sinner and I’m sorry about that. Of the seven deadly sins, Lust is my #1 sin… Shame!!! jaja…

Oh guys, I’ll write more next time. I’ll post htis as a friendster blog. Comment on this if you like. You’re entitled to your opinion. What is more improtant is that I know the FACTS. ;-)

Have a great day. ;-) ;-) ;-)

Your Hidden Talent

Here is the analysis:

The Mass Communicator

You have a cheerful personality and you are a naturally kind person. Your hidden talent isn’t
really that hidden at all: you shine among a crowd. You would make an ideal news announcer,
flight attendant or model - any position that would give you an opportunity to deal with plenty of
people. A tip for you is to avoid getting too deeply involved in others’ personal lives -
otherwise you might find yourself constantly being asked for help.

__________________________________________________________________________

The Animal Test

Here is the analysis:

  1. A kind of person you will be attracted to in a real life situation is those who are unbridled and free
  2. In the process of courtship, the approach that makes you feel irresistible is being straightforward, and having your partner speak directly.
  3. The impression you’d like to give to your lover is loyal and faithful.
  4. One reason that would make you break up with your partner is his or her being ruthless, cold-blooded or ironic.
  5. The
    kind of relationship you’d like to build with your partner is one where
    you can talk about everything and anything. No secrets are kept.
  6. Would you commit adultery? Society and morality worry you. You wouldn’t do anything wrong after marriage.
  7. About marriage, you are afraid of marriage. You think it would take away your freedom.
  8. About love, at this moment, you don’t want to be tied by a steady relationship. You just want to flirt.

_________________________________________________________________________

Psychological Test

Here is the analysis:

  • You have a complicated personality.
  • How ambitious you are depends on the height that you answered, which is: The Peak.

My Hongkong Trip

April 4th, 2007 by thegeographer2578

Oh, it’s been a day since I came back from my Hong Kong trip and I missed that small island of about 1043 square kilometers… Huhu… But you know, Hong Kong was a nice place to spend a vacation… I would visit that place again maybe next time, years from now when the second phase of Hong Kong Disneyland will be finished and ready for show… Haha… Anyways, to cut the story short… The whole trip started last Saturday…2 days after my 19th birthday…

Yes, we rode the Cathay plane… and arrived in Hong Kong about three hours after boarding… My sister & I went to the hotel and will meet Sherwin, Stephanie, and their aunt in the evening… So we made ourselves used to the place, looked at the surroundings, and went with our friends to supp in the evening… So we went into a Korean restaurant and ate some pork and meaty stuff… of course, I’m a carnivore… LOL and they see to it that we would enjoy our stay there…

So next, we went to the night market… Oh, it was a long street and after buying stuff there, our feet almost gave up… Pheew…. But it was fun and Hong Kong was cold and all so there’s no sweating for me…

So there you go, we went to different places. There are Hong Kong’s tall buildings, malls, huge streets, cool streetlights, those Chinese characters wherein I could still recognize some Chinese characters… Haha… And the food was great… There’s what you call a place where East & West meet… Hong Kong was a British Crown Colony until 1997 and for 10 yrs already, China holds it..

So the place has this distinct scent… Jasmine Tea perhaps… It was good though…

And there was Disneyland… We spent a day there… We’re just fortunate that the weather was kind. There was Main Street U.S.A. then there went Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Adventureland, and Sleeping Beauty’s Castle… I can say that the pictures we captured were original, authentic, cool, nice, beautiful, memorable, and unique.

And the MTR… that subway vehicle that sends us to different stations. Wow, the next time we’ll go there, we’ll surely capture the place. LOL… It was cool riding that thing… We also went to mass in the Catholic Church there in Hong Kong. It was airconditioned, and closed… Wow… It was great… We also had another free dinner again courtesy of Sherwin’s other aunt. Wow… I really thanked Sherwin and his whole bunch of relatives. They’re the coolest hosts outside our family. Hong Kong trip was very remarkable because of them. They taught us a lot about visiting and living in Hong Kong… The Hong Kong culture, way of life, language… Wow… that was very great…

And finally, upon going back to the Philippines… just when I was missing Cebu already… we went again to Hong Kong’s airport… It was very huge, you’ll surely get lost… LOL… But fortunately, the taxi driver and the airport people at that time of the day were kind so we didn’t have this "goosebumps" feeling about the port… SO we rode the hospitable plane and arrived in Cebu in three hours… That was it… That was cool… and I’d love to visit Hong Kong again in the future…

First Impressions

January 13th, 2007 by thegeographer2578

Oh guys, I just received 11 out of the 40 replies I’m expecting from the peopleI sent the message entitled "Second Personal Account Book…" I really hope those people (the 29) others will reply soon… Anyway, I can’t help myself but laugh from the responses… I mean…Whooow…First Impressions are most of the time…tough on me… I mean, LOL, it’s not very surprising though because when I let my High School classmates answer the same question a couple of years ago, about 90% would say that they really thought of me as NANING (TOO PERSEVERING), SMART, RUDE, NERDY(lol), ARROGANT….etc… but in the end, only the SMART concept remained….thank God…

anyway, I really tried to make my face look less monstrous… i mean, it’s not new if someone won’t talk to me at first because they think i might bite them…literally… but to tell you guys honestly, i’m not a cannibal… i want you guys to approach me first coz i’m not that FISHERMAN-FRIEND you have… I’m a mysterious friend who you can all trust…as long as you won’t betray me…of course…

Anyway, going back to those 11 responses, i find majority of them replying that (by the way guys, i had fun reading rather than getting mad…in the first place, i all told you that i want honest answers, right?)… i was rude-looking, too persevering, smart, scary, mean to the point that they thought i’ll never befriend them…haha…

Well going to the final impressions, as usual, only the SMART remained. I’m not boasting but I’m surprised they found the other side of my personality… I didn’t say that their first impressions are wrong… I can be rude sometimes, i’m mean sometimes. For instance a person disrespects me, I’ll kick the shit out of his head or something…or bust that flat enemy nose wide open….if i have to… but really, i treat friends next to my pets…haha…just kidding… friends are essential to me… and true friends are very dear to me…my debt of them holding on to me will never be repaid until the ends of our breaths. (But my family and my personal life - i have to admit, are my priorities coz they symbolize my faith here on Earth in God.) but my friends should always have a place to call a "refugee camp" in me coz whenever they have problems, i’ll do the best i can to help them. i know that they will do the same for me…

By the way, i noticed that this post isn’t coherent with the composition format in english class… but hey, this is a blog right? not a composition…so bear with the format… anyway, guys, see you around… for those 11, thanks… for the 29 others, please reply…i really appreciate your responses…. for my old friends, i’m looking forward to see you again…LOVE LOTS FROM the one and only CHIP you know….

Te quiero todo con toda sinceridad. Véalos en escuela.

de Chip…

Christmas gifts….

December 21st, 2006 by thegeographer2578

Hi guys, wala lang… I just want to make this post….to ask for a testi for this Christmas…..Funny right??? Well, that’s life….Heheh….THanks….

Currently…

December 2nd, 2006 by thegeographer2578

HI everybody… It seems like it’s been 48 years since I’ve posted a blog….Just kidding… Anyway, does anyone here wonder why I posted a blog that long??? I mean, pheew…..Life has never been so busy my whole life….Promise!!! Anyway, the past few weeks have been so tiring that I seldom visit my YM… There were a few misfortunes like thAT first AC16 test but my heart has never been this solid rock… Several years ago, people might say I’m cold-hearted because I never let my heart even had a chance to grasp a feeling or get sight of an external event… It only felt what seems to be heaven within our family… Also when I talk to God… But I never let it meddle with my affairs outside those people…. Also, my mind only handles those academic stuff… It also functions in those make or break decisions… You know what I mean… But in terms of friends, (I mean these people are the ones being described in this blog post) I let my conscience decide…I mean keeping close ones are very important to me… Having new ones are cool…especially when both of you agree on some issues… But friendship is a two way steet… Both ends must do something to make the relationship blossom….You can’t just let one do the trick… That’s slavery…right??? So guys, here’s where I’ll stop…See you next time…

P.S. This blog post is intended to let my friends know that they are dear to me and I always rank my friends according to how I see them… To Sherwin, Ebony, Marga, Bernadette, Daryl, Giness, Pardz, Netty, Paolo, Lindley……..I miss you guys(for those friends who I can’t see everyday) and see you everyday (for my classmates in college)….. adore el gran cantidad
