It's All About the EL: Welcome to My World

Debating Engineer

2006-09-07T07:09:00.000-07:00

Aaarrrgghhh...I know that a debating engineer is not ridiculous. I love debate and I want to graduate as an Engineer. I want to handle the company and make it grow even more.
Help me Lord! I need You!

The Mean, Freakin, Temptation Machine

2005-08-20T01:58:00.000-07:00

The day started with me, in front of the computer chatting. I was chatting with a stranger friend as I would say...she migrated to Canada just this summer..I'm not sure
I won't go anymore on the details..basta un! that was around 11:30am until 2pm..
then, I went to a computer shop near Claret to see my friends and YES we played a little game of Half Life and Counter strike...after that, we headed to the LRT station and went to Gateway to buy a gift for Estelle(our coach from La Salle). We ate first then Pekto saw "Kids at Work"..oh I mean TIMEZONE pala. hehe so we played basketball. We were about to leave until we saw this machine..it's what I called the "Mean, Freakin, Temptation Machine" why is that so? maybe because it has all these prizes like a cellphone, portable vcd player, a gameboy advance, and other stuff. We were just standing there looking at all those people who are trying to win all those prizes. If you look at the machine it seems that it's so easy to play with...I mean very EASY!!! If you played tetris or Duck Hunt on the family computer you'd probably think that "Hey! this is just a piece of cake"...That's what we thought...

This is how the game works
1. You swipe the card (of course)
2. hit the start button
3. You will start with 3 blocks that will go from left to right
4. All you have to do is to align those blocks
5. You will hear the most annoying sound in the world...next to pekto's singing especially his Carandang version of Enter Sandman.(Hoooo!!!)
6. Your goal is to reach the minor or major prize.
7. Start all over again (I bet you would 'cause it's really tempting)

So there pretty easy huh? try playing that game if you wanna get broke...

After that we bought a big card for Estelle then we went to Taco Bell to see Dino...
I called our driver and he was complaining 'cause he was going around Araneta for about 20 mins...so the conversation went like this...

El: Kuya, San ka na?
Canadian: Kanina pa ko nag-aantay deto El! Pinaalis na nga ako ng mga Pu*&$% gwardya deto eh!!! (w/ his weird but Canadianic voice) haha
El: Ah ganun ba? kanina pa kami nagaantay sa may Taco Bell eh...
Canadian: Ey senara nila ung daanan ng kotse don!
El: eh san ka ba?
Canadian: Punta na lang kayo deto! Nandeto ako sa may Farmers! Daan na lang kayo don sa may daanan ng tao na may bobong!!!
El: O sigi...

So yeah..according to Canadian we should go to the OVERPASS...so thats what we did. It was raining so definitely there's no problem 'cause there's "shelter" <==Pekto
We were actually wrong! The stairs has no freakin shelter! So obviously we got soakin wet!!! That sucks!!! After that we had problems entering the car! wahahah

So on our way to Roxas boulevard, Dino and Carlo talked about the conflict in the IDeA and the "Unang Hirit" program for the froshies...there there

Estelle's party was fun (if only we got there on time)
we saw some Dinosaur and Fossil debaters...the food was great! Even Pekto's cheek and nose tasted the food..haha

After an hour, we went to Manila baywalk. It's my first time to ever walk in that place. The atmosphere was alright except for the sardine effect! Then after that we headed home!

-End-

Syeti School Day!

2005-08-15T23:18:00.000-07:00

It's 2:22 pm and it's our computer class. Just finished doing this Visual Basic thingy.. A sucky thing happen after PE time. We went to the clinic for some specific reason and when we came back our teacher thought we cutted class. That sucks! For real! come on!

I now have a clinic pass in my pocket and I'll probably give it later. Let's see what will happen after this. WTF!

My very long "Sayang List"...

2005-08-08T06:51:00.000-07:00

uy astig..first post ko na tagalog. Lapit na birthday ko kaya mas madalas ako mapaisip ngayon...
Kaya binabalikan ko ang mga nangyari sa akin dati o kung hindi man nangyari pero hindi natuloy dahil SINAYANG ko...haha SINAYANG nga! Alam mo un? nakakaasar isipin after ilang days,weeks,months, or even years na nakalipas. Parang may magagawa ka tapos sinayang mo lang. Kaya ayun nga...hindi ko na mabilang lahat ng nasayang ko kung ilalagay nga sa papel hindi siguro enough lahat ng papel dito sa mundo kasi ung kalahati kelangan pa gamitin ni...ummm "Excuse me I have to go to the John. Can I have a scratch paper? Sheeet!" joke lang baka i-impale ako nun sa kanyang mahiwagang Kendo stick ba tawag dun? <-- nagsingit lang ako ng konting comedy kaso konti lang nakakarelate. Tignan nyo sinayang ko ninaman oras ko sa pagtype ng bagay konti lang ang makakarelate. Ang aksayado ko no? For the past x years o let's say ung high school life ko, maraming nangyari katulad nung first year, lagi akong perfect attendance pati lagi akong maaga tapos ngayon hindi na mabilang late ko. Dinadaya na lang ng monitor o even ng teacher para lang hindi umabot ng 999999 times. Di naman...999998 lang. Ang rami kong niregret sa buhay ko pero ang weird kasi habang tinatype ko to wala akong nararamdaman na regrets o parang wala na lang. Pero baka bukas bigla ko na lang maisip lahat habang naghahang. Pero wala na ko magagawa natapos na. Kung minsan pa may nangyayaring panibago tapos nagkakaroon ka na ng hope pero nagagawa mo pa ring sayangin. Marami kasing factor para sa akin at isang malaking factor ung nahihiya ako sa maaaring sabihin ng ibang tao. Yun ang parang humaharang sa akin na gawin ang gusto o dapat kong gawin. Ano ba yan!? Bakit ko natype un? wala ng hintuan to, walang burahan, ito ung eksaktong nasaisip ko. Sinasabi ko na...hahaha
Mayroong mga bagay na dapat mo ng kalimutan pero ayaw mo. Kung minsan maiisip mo na "anong gusto ni God mangyari?", "Ano kaya plano Nya?" sana nga kung ano man nangyari sa buhay ko may connection sya sa near future na sana may katuturan kung bakit ko nakilala ang mga taong o kung bakit ayaw mawala ng taong ito sa isip ko sa mga panahong ito. Para kasing biglang lumiit ng todo ung mundo ngayon. Ang raming koneksyon...na parang "si Ano ay pinsan si ano tapos pinsan nya rin si Ano...kaya magpipinsan sila lahat tapos kaibigan ko pa ung isa dun sa circle of magpipinsans na un", meron ring "si Ano nakasama ko sa Ano tapos after 4 months makakausap ni Ano sa Ano habang nag-aano"...ANO?!! hahaha labo
Sa school naman may mga problema ring nangyari..medyo seryoso at malaki to pero masaya at Grande naman ang mangyayari after. Naniniwala ako na Batch E ang magbibigay ng "Greatest exit in the History of Claret!" Agree? Sobrang di ko makakalimutan 4th year ko pagnasolve natin tong problemang to as a Batch...kung hindi as a Batch sobrang corny nun. Kaya pag nangyari un hindi nasayang ang high school ko sa Claret at mababawasan ng 1/4 ung nasa "Sayang List" ko. Kaya ayun matutulog na ko baka malate pa ko bukas...

Something to Blog about

2005-07-21T10:44:00.000-07:00

Time sure is fast! I can't believe that it's been 5 days since IDEAlite...ok so about IDEA. how was it? Great! Absolutely Great! It's like if I only have a time machine I'll repeat IDEAlite cause it was pure FUN...Some serious rounds became a humor round because of the wacky definitions and out-of-this-world analogy. There...so by the sound of that and by counting all the exclamation points that means I really had FUN!!! Some schools that are expected to break didn't break *nyahahahahehe* I'll mark the date = (July 16-17 2005)

O I forgot to tell you that we didn't break...but it's ok at least CLARET B broke and even reached the Finals. YEY!!! 3 bagsak!!! Maybe it goes to show that we're not yet ready but I liked the fact that we almost broke just by 1 point! And that makes me think that we really can compete it's just that we don't strive to be better.

The next day...there was a Public Speaking contest. There was this girl from MC who had a joke about Mushrooms. She sang the Mushroom tralala song. I think she was known for that..hahaha
There were no representatives from Claret cause we plan to surprise them on NASHDC. Oh by the way, we're gonna host IDEA 1st which is at the end of August I think. So there you go...some boring debate stuff. haha

go check my multiply account to see some pictures from IDEAlite

After 1 month...

2005-07-06T07:32:00.000-07:00

After one month I finally updated my blog...The Dark Age is finally over and people have just realized that it's time to bring back the Renaissance period.
Speaking of the Renaissance period or something called the Golden Age, I just thought how I lack effort in debating. After our coach Estelle said that the past DEBSOCers had already provided a name for Claret meaning they already have a good reputation and other schools know that we can beat Ateneo and ICA it's like Nth times the pressure! Damn! how could we possibly surpass these Monsters? I have seen some of them and they're really really good for crying out loud!!!If only I joined the DEBSOC when I was still in my sophomore years... IDEA Lite is just around the corner. For others, "sheesh"...For me, "OHDAMN" Well it's my first time to compete with other schools and representing the name of CLARET. so better do good coz as I have heard..we are doing this for the last time coz this is our last year! Oh well...

We will be attending an Integrated Seminar in Ateneo or should I say "Atneow" on Saturday then we will be heading to Tagaytay for our Team Building and we will stay there until sunday afternoon or maybe night obviously we can't go to Araneta to watch the Ateneo vs La Salle game so we'll just watch it there. FUN?

I hope that God will guide the whole team and bring us all in the "Dream Finals" wherein all teams are composed of Claretians. Yeah!!! That's the Dream!!!

and by the way...
Don't SCREW up dude (me)
I'll cut the 1 month = 1 entry trend thing hahahahhaha
and with that I end my entry
-END-

Time to Take a Bath!

2005-06-06T06:06:00.000-07:00

I was reading my past entries and the last entry of my friend and I just realized that It's not always healthy or good to express your feelings fully...I mean, I used some Metaphor or maybe some strange words alright but you know...(hehe)

I'll just keep my thoughts for myself(not all actually)
...ok then...it's time to delete some of my past entry!
---delete---
Recycle Bin? nope!
Flaming Recycle Bin? YESSS!!!

whoooo!!! so let's start things right this time...

=>Bored games<=

2005-06-01T11:49:00.000-07:00

I got the phrase "Bored games" from someone...sorry for being a "Rip-off" hehe...
wow! this day seemed very exciting...NOT!!! hahaha
yeah! two words, BORED GAMES! I woke up at 10 o'clock in the morning and ate my Brunch at 11. After eating, I thought of going to celeb...anywhere but here!!! I wanna go swimming or play Bowling even if I'm not good at it. again, my Best friend by the name of TIME tricked me again and then day turned into night...I went to church for the Bible Study. After that, went home and scanned some pics for the Debut of our churchmate...we will edit a video something like a "Tribute" of some sort. I don't know! but definitely it would again be a job well done.

I was thinking of going on a process called "changing"...personality, bad traits, etc...
I don't know why I thought of that but...I guess I'm just an ASSHOLE inside!!! I'm trying not to be Pessimistic but it keeps on coming back. It's like Fungus...It grows on you!!!

It's 3:19am and I gotta go to sleep...
-END

Waiting is my favorite thing to do!!!

2005-05-30T10:54:00.000-07:00

1:55am
-can't sleep...why?
I'm getting good at this "waiting thing"
2:02am
-hahaha I guess I'm just waiting for nothing...
2:08am
-Dumb Ass
2:17am
just watching time race itself

Simply Red

2005-05-25T02:18:00.000-07:00

Wahhhh!!! I'm suffering from the "Color of the Day Syndrome" everyone is wearing the color RED! It's like we're gonna join "Laban o Bawi" or some strike in EDSA...

Imagination mode....
"Mga maglalaro para bukas magsuot ng red shirt with Laban o Bawi logo"

Anyway, wait!a song just flashed in my head...this is a song when I was still watching this show called "The Lamb Chops Play Along" on the I channel...I don't know why the heck did I remember that song but it goes like this...

This is the song that never ends
This will go on and on my friend
some people started singing it not knowing what it was
and they'll continue singing it forever just because...(repeat the song as much as you like...that's why it's called the never ending song)

hmmm...oh...We went to Claret this afternoon. I just wanted to suggest some of my ideas for the bulletin board but then all Hell broke loose when the corridor became more like an evacuation center! Teachers were packing everything from the tests last year to the pictures that reminds them how fun being a teacher is. They Packed and packed...one teacher kept on packing until he got tired..the other one packed some books inside the cabinet! The bottomline is it's not easy to pack in a narrow or limited space!!! So what I did was to help some teachers pack their things to lessen their load. I passed by my Chemistry teacher and she said if I could help in packing her...things. Obviously I packed her...things then I went to see my adviser 2 years ago. After that, I approached my English teacher and we talked about stuff...she gave me some advice..long story short I got home at around 5-6pm and now I'm typing my entry.

I'll go down and eat my dinner in 5...4...3...2...1...BYE!!!

I need FUEL + FIRE

2005-05-24T06:03:00.000-07:00

I need to have this fire in debating!!! I suck big time!
Why is it when I'm talking about other and more interesting stuff I unleash something that is 50% Hell and another 50% debating skills...I have to have this fuel or something called "Hyperness"(hehe)in debating.

Before I went to my review class, I heard the song of April "gay" Regino...the song is about touching your body parts. What a lame song..why would someone make a song about touching your teeth,lumps,etc...and after the whole f*cking song he sang the "Paa,tuhod song" and my driver said that he was singing bahay kubo then I got confused because I was singing "Bahay kubo" in my head but in the tune of "Paa,tuhod" hehe...You might be wondering why I listened to that stupid song in the first place. I just want to make fun of the guy who was forced to sing the stupid song...

After our review class we headed to Tapa King...Probably they got the best Tapa in the whole world but the problem is that you need to eat the food while standing because they lack tables..The "Spongklongiest"(sukdulan ng kabobohan)situation I have encountered. A fastfood that has no tables...what the HECK! and another thing, I asked for a tissue...I said "Sir, may tissue po ba kayo?" then he replied with "Ah..syempre meron" then after a few minutes the waiter cleaned the other tables and never gave me the tissue I was asking for. I believe that the "Spongklong" waiter thought that I was only asking if they have tissue. How stupid of me! hehe I should have said that "I'm asking for a tissue because I need it" DUH!!*D'oh* Oh Well..hehe

another day will about to pass in 3 hrs...it is 9pm
as usual...I miss someone! this is a weird feeling actually

By any other name...

Oh What a day...what a day, what a day...

Things didn't work out perfectly as planned but what's important is that we had fun

When the minute seems like hours and the hours seems like days!!!

I went to church this morning then after that the adventure began...first, we(the Bread of Life Boys)had lunch then headed to Greenhills to look for Paintball stuff. Unfortunately, there were no paintball guns, vest, or whatsoever! We went to San Juan to look for a Paintball store. Again...there were plenty of NOTHING!
After that, we went to Cubao...we bought everything we need for our fellowship later that night. We bought 6 kilos of T-bone steak! softdrinks, pepper, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and charcoal. I had a terrible feeling that our money was not enough...but God really provides for His children. We bought everything we needed and our money was just enough! Then..we got home and arranged the tables,food,etc...
I helped in preparing the Steak. Then, we ate our dinner. The meeting or fellowship is all about how can "the Boys" help the church as well as ourselves. Meaning...we should have a ministry and at the same time we should also help the church (well done Taguro for bringing this up!)Well first, because majority of us play paintball, we should invest for it and use it as a business to help the church. Before that we should raise funds and they suggested different ways of raising funds. The Steak was good by the way, and better with red and white wine. Well, it was fun because there was something that brought us all together..away from vices and other earthly things! Wahahahah

Just look at these pics

[Conversations]

2005-05-14T03:58:00.000-07:00

Let me see if I still remember almost every detail of what had happen for the past 18 hrs...

5:30am - I woke up. I was about ready to eat my breakfast but there was no food! So I turned on the TV and saw the video of "Ako si M16" by the Jamaican/Breakdancer/weirdo band...wahahah I said to myself this is going to be a pretty interesting day. hehe

6:00am - I took a bath, et cetera...et cetera
7:00am - finally ate my breakfast...head on to 711 anonas to meet my friends
7:45am - We(Carlo,Daboy,Ulrichk)went to UPIS to attend our review class...the subject is *freakin* BIOLOGY! We had our break for only 15 mins..a plan BACKFIRED!!! so much for that!

12:00pm - We took our lunch at Nanette's Canteen (saving money) there was this guy who I encountered twice in Claret and this is the third time...Picture this...a guy holding a cigar, of course he looked like a drug addict...this guy begged for money telling us that his daughters need some money to buy medicine. Know what's odd in this picture? He told me the same damn reason last time...Obviously we didn't give that guy some money..what I did was(just for fun)I told the guy that the man inside a starex van(which is our driver Allan)is willing to give him money. hehe*evil*
well, as Carlo would say..."Sh*t happens"

We had a very fun conversation...We talked about the Fedex(adj.cute,"pwede")girl in class, we goofed around and made fun of things...

2:00pm - we played Half-Life...I was killed 300 times!!! Yeah I know! I stink!
4:00pm - we walked from Claret to Anonas...I like to call this scene "The Lagkitan Journey" I went to Ulrichk's and waited to be fetched.

After that, we(me and the driver) went to Glories to buy some barbeque,softdrinks,and ice for my sister's party.

Here I am now..typing my entry

Straight face = EZ (Happy Birthday!!!)
Waiting face = Daboy
Devil Face = Ulrichk
Angry Face = Carlo
Sulfuric Face = EL

Oh Come ON!!!

2005-05-13T01:25:00.000-07:00

Blog! Blog! Blog! Blog! Blog!
Another day, Another bucket of sweat! It's so hot!! and when I say HoT I mean HOTTTTT!!!
If you have read the blog of Ulrichk, Daboy, and Carlo...They were talking about these group of...as Ulrichk says "bunch of Posers" and as Daboy and Carlo says "Jerks"...well, for me they are just another stable. Well Hey, we can be heroes sometimes so why can't there be villains there is always a room for change anyway. I suggest we just let them do what they want. Let's change the topic...I don't even care anyway.

So...we finished all our tests in Physics today or should I say yesterday(It's already Friday)
Wahahahha!!! I hardly realized the time cause..Damn it's fast!!! As I was saying...I just got an average score in the Test 2 and Mock Test of our Physics class and I hate the Mediocracy!!! I have to study hard!!! Come on El!!! FOCUS!!! YOU MUST NOT HANG!!! (Ctrl+Alt+Delete)

---Not Responding---

*snap*

There! all better!!

There was a brown out or blackout (sorry! I'm a Filipino eh) a while ago. I supposed to post this earlier...Sweat or "Lagkitan", Darkness, and Boredom are the elements in having a successful BLACKOUT experience!!! I was thinking of my Major Assignment... I haven't done the assignment which was due last monday!!! I guess worst comes to worst! Wendel would probably Strangle me and Eat me alive!!! Oh man!!! Come on!!! If I attend the debate later, It'll be the first time I meet Wendel. My friends said that He's one though Monster! Debate Monster!!!

Here are some pics a while ago...

Brownout=Filipino Blackout=Normal

Pure Darkness and Boredom

That's all for now!

Say What!?

2005-05-10T06:09:00.000-07:00

Well, this is my first time to step into the World of Blogging and of course I now have the right to be called a "Blogger" and also I can now tell the world how boring my life is.(just joking :p)
First things first, the title of my Blog is "It's all about the EL: Welcome to my World" although the phrase "It's all about the EL" is grammaticaly wrong...It doesn't matter!!! Let's just cut the crap..hehe

Let me try this....
Ahh ok...
Let's see....

I woke up at 6:00am, ate my breakfast which is (I forgot..maybe beacause I was doing things...I forgot the word!!! it has something to do with the word "conscious" wahahhaah never mind) then I took a bath and all of a sudden...time flew or in my case time joined the "Tour de France" and raced his way to the finish line...in other words...I almost got late again!!! It's a good thing the traffic was not that heavy. I was on my way to UPIS for my review...when I got there, I met Ulrichk, EZ, and Mark aka "Daboy" near the central stairs and finally...whew!!! I'M NOT LATE!!! YESSS!!!
