Strings and Boxes

This week
I was not busy
In response to academic reasons
There were less class that I attended
But It's not that I cut some classes
There was a reason
There is an upcoming culminating activity
And we have to be ready for it

Monday
We had no classes
I slept majority of the day
About 6pm
We went to a nearby supermarket
And I bought a new PS2 game
It is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
I know
It's not new
But not too old
It was released about year 2002
I have this game before
But in my computer
Unfortunately
It was destroyed
And because I really wanted to play the game again
I bought another one
But now it is for my PS2
As I reached our house's main door
I immediately rushed to where
My PS2 is located
And start playing it
As I start the game
I remembered the days
That I first played it
When I don't care about
The human lives in the game
About the wrecking of cars
And usage of weapons
All I know is
Use every function of the game
As far as it can give
In where
I'll just stop doing the very same thing
Unless it is already impossible to do so

The most busy day I had
Was Tuesday
We had classes the whole day

Wednesday
NCAE for 4th year students
There was no classes
Except for us
We were asked to report at our school
By 12 in the afternoon
I know that there will be less classes
So I decided to bring my guitar
And while in school
I've played the same old hits that I know
But that day was out principal's b-day
And someone wants us to have a gift
But we don't have any funds
So our class president decided
To play a song for our principal
The chosen song was
Crazy For You
At first
I laughed
Because I thought it was a joke
But she was serious in what she said
I was a little bit shocked
Because the lyrics was not good
But still
She wanted that song
And we practiced it until dismissal

Here is Thursday
I know that there will be no classes
I mean
No teachers will have a discussion
So I decided to bring my guitar again
And
It's the day of presentation
And the day started in our classroom
We are decorating our room
For the upcoming activity
In relation to the
"Linggo ng Wika"
But our presentation
Was canceled
I don't know the exact reason
But still
The day continued
With us
Playing the guitar
As a result
My fingers are aching

Friday
The culminating activity
I brought 5 gallons of water as a share
It was way too heavy
While the program was going on
I was left on the room
For the reason
I'm supervising everything
That is about the decorations
And while I'm doing nothing
I borrowed a guitar from a former classmate
Unfortunately
I broke it
I accidentally broke a string
So i have to replace it
And the whole day was fun
My classmates are playing
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
And I tried to play
And it was fun
The day ended with fun of course

That's all for today
Wait
I forgot something
Few days ago
I read my entries
And found some typographical errors
So my apologies
I don't know if I still have some typo-errors
And the worst
The wrong usage of grammar
Again
My apologies
Thanks for reading

High School Life

Last Saturday
My friends and I
Went to the mall
And of course
I'll share it to you
Me, Gerald, Ian and Colleen
Went to SM Megamall
We went there
Just for fun
Nothing more
At first
We looked for the time of the show
But we still have about 2 hours
Before the show starts
So we decided
To walk around the mall for a while
We played a while in the Timezone
And we went to the supermarket
To buy some stuffs
For the show
Then we went to the cinema
We watched
The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor
It was great
The story was somehow unique
And the effects was too great
In the cinema
The arrangement of seats was
Colleen, Ian, Me and Gerald
And because of that
There were like
2 different groups
Colleen and Ian are talking by themselves
While me and Gerald has also our own
And that did last long
Even outside the cinema
Even when we go to
Our separate ways before
We go home

Our teachers shared to us
Our scores in our
Periodical exams
My outputs were somehow great
Fortunately
I got the highest score
In Advance Algebra
And in Physics
I didn't expect those scores
Especially in Physics
But even though they were the highest
It wasn't high enough
And it wasn't satisfactory
But I think
It is better to have it
Than to have a failing score
The lowest I got
Is in my elective subject
Which is Environmental Science
I've got
A point higher than the lowest
Possible passing score
It was too bad

Yesterday
Our section had a pet
Named Bubu
(I'm not sure if the name of the spelling is correct)
It is a beetle
At first
I didn't liked it
But when I first let it walk on my palm
It was great after all
Its shell was hard
And its legs are it pointed
But not pointed that it can
Give you a wound
At the middle of the day
When I was playing Sudoku
My classmates laughed at me
And I said why
Then they said
Look at your back
When I try to look at it
Bubu was behind me
And I started to laugh
Then they took it off
Then they've done it to another classmate
And when she noticed that we are laughing at her
She also said why
And we said that
Bubu was at her back
She was shocked at shouted
We were laughing too much
One time
Another classmate was having a deal
With another classmate
She will take off an rope that is
Tied around her wrist
We are joking her that
Bubu was around her
And she freaked out
She was too afraid
And she even cried
While we
We are laughing

Right now
I'm waiting for Gerald to be online
We are going to make our SIM
(Strategic Intervention Material)
We are planing to have Cell
As our Least Mastered Learning Competency
(I'm not sure of the Competency)
And I tried to put the plug-in
In my Yahoo! Messenger
I've chose Yahoo! Music
And It's great
Try to give it a shot

Culminating activities
Are one of the most fun events
In our school
Yesterday
We are talking about it
And we had an idea
Just an idea
We or should I say "I"
Not sure about it
We are planning to be band
And play song/s in one activity
And we wanted to be different from the others
We are planning to play
Christian songs
But we are still unsure
We prioritize our studies
That's why we can't move even further

Thanks for reading

OPM World

I've realized something
My blog title is
With music present in my mind
But I don't have an entry for music
That's why I created this one

First of all
I didn't know
What music contains
That made me like it
But maybe
Its lyrics
Its melody
I don't know
But I think
It's really the lyrics
I wanted the lyrics too much
It really can express my feeling
No matter what I feel
There's a music that is complimentary to it

A want to concentrate on Sponge Cola and Eraserheads
Let's have sponge cola first
The first time I hear Sponge Cola
I think that
What kind of name is that?
Is it derived from Spongebob Squarepants?
I first heard that from Francis M.
He is always plugging Sponge Cola
That's why I became curious of them
Then one day
My friend lend me
His copy of Sponge Cola's
Palabas: The Romeo and Juliet Experience
So I listen to it
While listening to it
I think of
What's good in this album?
There's no great song in this album
But what i didn't realize back there
I always listen to it
Until one day
Before I return it to my friend
I copied it to my PC
For the reason
We have a CD-burning business
And then I returned it
One day
I saw a life performance of Sponge Cola at Myx
And I said
What song is this?
This is not included in the album
This is too great
So I try to remember the title
And I search at my PC
I was shocked
The song was already in the album
It means that
I just ignored it
So I listened to the whole album again
That's when I realized
The beauty of that artist
The songs was too great
And that's the start of
Being a fan of Sponge Cola
But unfortunately
I only saw 1 of their gig
And it's not their major gig
They are just guest
It is in Hataw, Hanep, Hero 2007
While we were walking around
Together with my sister Joyce
Cousins Ria and Eirene
Eirene said that
Wow, the song is Sponge Cola
Then I said
Yeah, too lucky for us
Then I remembered one thing
And I immediately asked my sister
(For because she already attented that particular event)
If there are local bands performing
Then she said yes
I realized that
That it is a live performance
Because the sound of the Cymbals are different
So I rushed to the center stage
And I was surprised
Sponge Cola was really there
I was too happy
They performed three songs
Bitiw
Tuloy Parin
And Tuliro
I was really happy that night
Now
Because of my addiction
I collected 53 of their songs
But I think some of copies I have
Has a multiple copy
Or double copy
But one thing is certain
I like that artist
I have their debut album
Palabas: The Romeo and Juliet Experience
And their sophomore one
Transit Deluxe
And their EP
Which contains five songs
But not an original copy
I just borrowed it from my friend

I also like
Pupil
Eraserheads
And Sandwich
I like the meaning of their songs
And the tunes of course
I like their albums
I don't have to mention it
It is at the list
At the left side of this page

Now
I can play some instruments
I can play
The guitar
And basic drum beats
Sometimes I play my favorite songs
Like Tuliro
Betamax
Monobloc
Pare Ko
And some other more
I think
I already said this words
My apologies
It's little bit late now at my time
So my mind is not working
Effectively as expected
I don't know what to write next
I don't even know
There might be some typographical errors
And wrong usage of grammar
Again
My apologies

I'll have to end this now
I don't know what am writing
I might write things that I must not write
Thanks for reading

Living Hell?!

We had our exam
That's the reason
Why I'm slightly busy

Our Algebra exam
Wasn't too hard at all
Of course
There is also some items that
Wasn't hard as I expected
As of now
Biology is my problem
Unfortunately
I think my answers
In the last part of the exam
Out of 20 items
My only sure answer
Is around 8 items only
Too bad for me

To be honest
I can't think
Want to put in this entry
But I don't wanna end this now
I don't wanna have an entry
That is too short

Right now
I wanted to have a thing to do
I wanted to have a band
Even thought this dream
Was way back
Since I'm a 5th grader
But of course
As time goes by
There's change
And I'm changing
I always now that
There might be a time
When I dream of becoming a doctor
A painter
A principal
A president
I dunno
But I thing won't change in me
My eagerness to fulfill the things
That I must fulfill

Earlier this morning
I asked my classmate Bea
To come with me
In our registrars office
While on our way to the office
She asked me
What is that for?
I told her
I gonna get my grades
Because were going to migrate at Hong Kong
She suddenly stopped for a while
And asked me
Is it true?
I said yes
She continues to ask me the same question
Over and over a hundred times
I looked at her eyes
And it is teary
I realized that
She doesn't want me to go
When we reached the registrar's office
I saw the registrar at the office's door
So I approached her immediately
Bea was left outside the office
For the reason
Students with particular business
Is allowed inside
So I looked at Bea to say
Wait for a minute
When I looked at her
Her tear dropped
At that moment
I felt a mixed emotion
Happy
Surprised
Lonely
Guilty
So I told her
Bea, It is a joke
And then I entered the office
After the transaction is finished
She was standing at the very same place
Where I left her
On her right side
Ria and Gerald was present
But they didn't got my attention
I comforted Bea because she was crying
I told her again that
The migration thing is just a joke
And she became happy again
When we reached our classroom
Bea said that
We could use that joke again
And so we did
We used the joke on Christine
Same as Bea
She had teary eyes
When we reveal that it was a joke
She started to laugh and chased me
So I started to rest at my chair
Without knowing
Another classmate cries because of the joke
It wasn't me who told it to her
Gerald said the joke on Ria
And she began to cry

After those incidents
I realized a small thing
Somebody is still
Caring?
Loving?
Thinking?
Wanted me to be with them?
I dunno the right term
But I was really happy

I've brought my guitar today
While we were waiting for the next exam
I, Gelli and Ria played the guitar
We played "Magbalik"
Then Bea and Gerald was singing
When we came to the chorus part
Majority of our classmate starting singing
When suddenly
Mr. Ungos came to our room
And he confiscated my guitar
But I was not at nervous state
I know that I can get my guitar back
Before I go home of course
When I was about to get it
He asked me
What happened?
Why did you do it?
I can't say a thing
For about 2 minutes
I suddenly said
Sir because I can use it because it is a break time
And he said
It's ok to use it
But you're making too much noise
At the end I just apologized
And he explained to me
That if he didn't scold
Other teachers will scold me
And worse thing might happen

This is the last of it
I think this blog isn't that good
It only had a detailed summary of my day today
I just want to thank you for reading

Pagiging Maka-Bansa


Ang isang ito ay espesyal
Gagamitin ko dito ang linguaheng
Aking nakagisnan
Ang wikang Pilipino
Sa ngayon
Bawal gumamit ng mga salitang dayuhan
Umpisahan na natin

Isa akong mambabasa
Ng mga librong likha
Ni G. Bob Ong
At sa pagbabasa nito
Mas naintindihan ko maigi ang buhay
Dito nabasa ko ang iba't-ibang mundo ng tao
May para sa mga mag-aaral
Para sa sakit ng lipunan
Sa relihiyon
Ang ugali ng tao
Mga istilo ng pagsusulat
At buhay-mahirap
At dahil doon
Susubukan kong isa-isahin ang aking mga
Komento ukol sa mga paksang iyon

Sa pag-aaral
Naisip ko na
Talagang nakaktuwang nakakaawa ang mga estudyante
Nakakatuwa sa aspektong
Parang puro kasiyahan lang sila
Nakakatuwa silang nakitang natutuwa
Lalo na kung nagsasaya sila
At natututo sa pag-aaral
Sa kabilang banda
Nakakaawa sa aspektong
May mga gurong umaabuso sa kanila
'Yung tipong
isang pirasong lapis na lang
Ay gagawin pang proyekto
At sa mga gawain na dapat sa guro pa
Tulad ng pagbabasa
Kung ako ang tatanongin
Oo
Dapat nagbabasa ang estudyante
Subalit ang pagbabasa na iyon ay para lamang
Makasagot kapag nagtanong sa kanila ang kanilang guro
Pero hindi tama para sa akin
Ang pagbabasahin ang estudyante para lamang
Sila na lang magturo sa sarili nila
At hind i ang mga tamad na gurong nagpapabasa na lamang
Pero dahil sa "ABNKKBSNPLAko?!"
Biglang pumasok sa aking isip
Ang maging isang guro
Isang guro na maka-estudyante
Isang gurong pinaglalaban ang karapatan ng estudyante

Sa relihiyon muna tayo
Wala akong gaanong masasabi
Kundi ang isang palaisipan
Totoo ba ang relihiyon?

Ang ugali ng tao
Bawat tao sa mundo ay mayroon kanya-kanyang ugali
Kung minsan ay may nagkakapareho
Pero kahit papaano
Ay may pinagkaiba parin
Pero may isa akong nalaman
Wala sa tao ang kanyang ugali
Kundi nasa tumitingin
Halimbawa?
May isang taong nagsasabi ng kanyang talambuhay
Kung sang ayon ka sa kanya
Matutuwa ka
Mahahabag ka kung ito ay nakakahabag para sa iyo
Subalit kung hindi mo nagustuhan
Sa karaniwang dahilan na
Parang ikaw ang kontrabida sa kanyang kwento
Ang sasabihin mo naman ay
Isa siyang mayabang na walang kayang patunayan
Kundi magyabang
Pero ano ba talaga ang pakay ng taong
Nagsabi ng kanyang talambuhay?
Walang makapagsasabi
Kahit siya
Hindi niya masasabi ang katotohanan

Sa pag-sulat daw nailalabas ang nadarama ng isang tao?
Para sakin
Tama iyon
Bakit?
Ako mismo
Nagawa ko na iyan
Isa din yan sa dahilan ng aking
Pagsulat dito sa pahinang ito
Gusto ko mailabas ang aking naisip
Nararamdaman
At iba pa
Pero bakit may mga sulatin na hindi akma sa bawat situwasyon?
Dahil ang isang sulatin ay may isang eksaktong paksa lamang
May mga diskursong marami ang paksa
Pero hindi ito natutumbok ang dapat matumbok

Buhay mahirap
Dahil salat sa pera?
Hindi lang iyan ang ibig-sabihin ng mahirap
At hindi iyan ang tunay na ibig-sabihin ng salitang iyon
Ang sa tingin kong ibig-ipahayag ng salitang 'yon
Ay ang taong
Kulang sa pagmamahal
Bakit?
Kung wala kang ganon
Halos wala ka nang magagawa sa buhay mo
At ang tanging iisipin mo na lang ay ang sarili mo
Kung mangyayari 'yon
Iba iba na ang magagawa mo
Magagawa mo kahit hindi nadapat
Bakit nila sinasabi ang mahirap ay kulang sa pera?
Sa totoo lang
Walang taong walang pera
Subalit
Hindi lang sila nakokontento sa kung anong meron sila
Lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay may halaga
Edi ang tao ay may halaga din?
Magkakaroon ng halaga ang tao
Kung ituturing mo itong bagay

Ngayon
Bumalik tayo sa sakit ng lipunan
Bakit sakit ng lipunan
Nailagay sa librong
"Balik Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino"
Ang karamihan sa katotohanan ng ating buhay
Mas inuuna pa natin ang dayuhan
Ang iba ay masahol pa
Bukod sa mas binibigyan ng importansya ang dayuhan
Hindi pa siya dito nakontento
Hinihila pa niya pababa
Ang mga kababayan niya
Hindi niya inisip na
Pag hinila niya ang kanyang kababayan
Hinila na din niya ang kanyang sarili
At sa mas nakakahiyang situasyon
Kung ikukumpara sa kanyang hinilang kababayan
Isa pang napansin ko sa libro?
Iba ang laki ng mga salitang
BAKIT
BALIKTAD
PILIPINO
Bakit ko ito sinasabi?
May naisip lang ako
Kaya ba iba ang laki ng tatlong salitang iyon
Ay sa kadahilanang
Nagtatanong ang sumulat ng
BAKIT BALIKTAD ang PILIPINO?

Ito na ang wakas ng aking liham
Maraming salamat sa pagbabasa
Kung may natutunan kayo
Ayos
Kung wala
Ayos lang din
Ang importante
Nakinig kayo sa isang opinyon

"Lahat tayo, nag-gagamitan lang"
