Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Ginayot, pare!"
Hi - getting my card. its... yellow O.o
Lo - commuting with a slight drizzle. weird feeling...
Kimbo, palagay ko ndi mo na mababasa to, pero this one's for you
Ngayon ko lang naisip - bagay nga sayo yung KG21. Heart of a warrior, leadership of a general, courage of a hero, spirit of a kid, humor of a comedian. It's for the original KG, pero its also for the other KG (hindi si canaleta. feeling lang yun), Kimbo Gamboa.
heart of a warrior - never gives up. everytime may pangit na LT or project, laban pa rin. never gives up, and never gives in.
Gayot!
leadership of a general - when the need arises, he steps up and takes the lead. isn't afraid to take the burden and responsibility.
Astig!
courage of a hero - if something needs doing, he does the just. gaano man kahirap or nakakatakot, he'll face them all.
My man!
spirit of a kid -everytime makasama ko sya sa mga project or report, he's the one making us enjoy working. serious, but dam relaxed. the
Best!
humor of a comedian - he's always got a story to tell. naranasan nya, nakita nya, narinig nya, anything to make us smile and brighten our day.
Over na!
classmate, NBAmate, mathmate, pornmaster, sentiman, friend
Aboy
Kimbo Gamboa - astig ka!
You take care there! Gayotin mo, pare!

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"It's never over"
Hi - Graduation. go figure
Lo - not seeing Gabz (Aguila) graduate. its a dam shame...
(This will be a bit emo/long. Read the LJ one for a lighter one)
Haaay... It is done. We have graduated. Four long years. Four long years of blood, sweat, tears and acne oil. Four long years of studying, cramming, meeting, dota/counter/warcraft, YM, lectures, LTs, exams, teachers, lessons, friendship. Four long years in the A section. The honors section. We have endured so much, yet so little. We have endured, and for that we are given this day, this moment. This is our moment.
May secret ako. Wala atang sa class may alam nito, pero alam ata ng dating Campion boys. When I was in grade 7, I said something probably out of fear, out of not enough knowledge. Back then, half jokingly and half serious, I said na "If mapasok ako sa A, paparesection ako" sabay tawa. Yes, back then I was too naive to consider being an Aboy. I didn't want to become one dati. Ayoko maging nerd, inisip ko dati. I was afraid of what I didn't know. And bakit hindi ko tinuloy yung plano ko? That was the only time when my katamaran benefitted me. Tinamad na ko magpa-resection. And I was surprised at what being an Aboy was all about.
In four long years with A2k6... ano nga ba natutunan ko? Be yourself. Be kung ano ka man, at wag kang mahiya. Lahat naman ganun, and lahat naman is willing to take in lahat. Do what you do, at hindi mo kelangan maging plastic. Be open to others and everyone will be open to you. Kung nerdoks ka, ok lang! Kung medyo bobo ka, ok lang! Kung athlete ka, ok lang! Everyone is welcome, and everyone does what he can. That's an Aboy.
From the start pa lang, I wanted to become someone. Someone big, someone who made an impact. I wanted to be great. So I tried to make myself great. COLT, Arnis, acads Wala. Cut sa training, olats sa mga tourney, ndi outstanding sa grades. Then this 4th year, sabi ko "ngyon, I will be recognized. just wait." So todo karir, for the first time. Owning sa Physics at Math, leader sa arnis, make myself known. Then, oblation scholarship pa. Whoa! Instant celebrity! Eto na, I am someone! I have made an impact! Pero come to think of it, I didn't need to be someone big to be respected, to be looked up to. From the start pa lang, I already got the respect. Just clean, straight-up respect. And for giving me that, salamat!
and now, for the thank-yous:
kay bro, for always being there, for supporting me, pushing me, inspiring me
sa A2k6. I love you! Through the good and the bad, sama sama pa rin
to mom and dad, for loving and caring for me, for making me who I am
sa lahat ng nadaanan kong teachers, for touching and teaching me in each and everyway
sa arnis boys, for the uber fun org times :D
sa lahat ng nakilala ko on the way, for broadening my world
kina kari and junbee, for helping me through the late nights and early mornings (or was it just kinukulit nyo lang ako? I forget... :D)
and for each and everyone who made an impact, small or big, in me
*special mention to blogger.com for keeping me sane all this time*
salamat!
This is for all those who believed!

Long Time Coming
Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"
Hi - Getting bangag/bored with the Aboys kagabi/kaninang morning
Lo - Right now. Am a bit shleeepiii
This is a bit belated, I've decided on this a long time ago, pero ngayon ko lang mapopost. Why? ... malay ko rin
It's settled. I'm going to UP. Why? I dunno. It almost destined. Now that I think about it, andami na palang signs dati pa lang that almost means that this is where I should be. My outstretched arms, going to UP games, going "go UP" just for the sake of, spending a lot of time there. Even my passing Pisay a few years back cemented my theory. It was meant to be.
Like Bro Cis said, God is always rushing to us, going 99% of the way, and waiting for us to go for even just 1%. I did. Kasi ba naman, forever na kong binibigyan ng opportunities, to be better, to show my potential, to be what I am fully capable of. And almost always decline ako. I just didn't want it. Para bang ndi ko kaya, or not for me, or tamad/matigas lang ang ulo. I want to do things my way, pero ndi pala siya yung the best way. Decline sa COLT, sa intrams, sa pagiging leader. Sige, those made my life easier, pero it was the easy way out. Up to now, I am still haunted by those what ifs, what could have been. Now, no, I won't let this one get away. UP. Oblation Scholar. Tall order, yes, but not impossible.
Like sir Nate said, I don't back down from anyone, or anything. And why not? It's a chance of a lifetime. Plus, it's a new world, a totally different world. Frightening, but exciting. God won't send me to a place to die. He'll send me to places to become better, to become what He wants me to be. And of course, He'll be there every step of the way.
I am at peace.

Settling Down
Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"There will be a time when playing on the computer will be boring. Until that time comes, I'll be on my PC playing WoW :P"
Hi - Killing an elite crocothingy, with the same level as I, sa WoW
Lo - Not being able to play basketball kasi there's a Nissan Patrol posting up just outside the painted area
This is the life :). Not the perfect life though, pero a summer life. Wake up medyo early, basket for an hour or so, watch NBA, laro sa PC, tulog, kain, more PC, more tulog, more TV. Wheee! Boring sometimes, yes, but who cares!? It's summer baby! Like Christian/Convi says, that's how I roll! lol!
Dad's coming home this Thurs. Medyo excited na lahat. More nananabik than excited. It's been a year na pala. Wow...
Yun na muna. I'm getting senti na...

It Just Happens
Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"*ding ding* moments"
Hi - wandering the HS on my own. veeery senti moment
Lo - causing bro to be late kanina :(
All because of of my graphing calcu's manual.
Nasa Ateneo ako kanina para isauli yung manual na yun. Plano, bigay ko lang yun, tapos sabay sa bus pauwi. Ng maaga. Pero... hindi. Basta. Read on.
So 8am, nasa ITC, binalik yung manual. As in binigay ko lang at umalis na ko. Then kain sa caf, expecting na walang tao. Then, kita Sibol boys so tambay with them (plus nood ng summer-CAT. :P) At mga 9, disperse. Libot mag-isa sa HS campus (at lait ng undergrads :P), stop over sa chapel at Gesu. Thinking na dumota yung Bboys, daan ng neoatenes. Mga 930 wala sila, pero nandun si Kimbo nagsusulat ng takteng appeal letter (3rd to 1st honors? oh yeah...) so tambay till mga 1030. Then, daan ng 711, only to see the Glee Club boys (yung boys lang. yung iba, wala pa) and Gela there. Nag-aya sila for me to watch them at UP, at oo naman ako. So una na si Kimbo, at tag-along ako sa Glee Club.
So sakay sa "car" (E150) ni Rye. At first, 5 lang kami so uber luwag. Then pick-up (... not the perfect term) the other Glee Club members... so mga 12 na kami haha! Pero ok lang. So diretso sa Abelardo, and watch them perform. Kaya lang, as the "mascot" nila (huwat a term, rye!), nakasali ako sa photo-ops at kain nila. Weee! Then, dapat dota with them, kaya lang puno na LC, so lipat ako pao and gab sa worldnet. So upakan with the AI (dam phantom lancer!) with a real scary drow (33-1, with raper +roshan kill). After, ym ng konti, then hitch a ride with kuya pauwi. On the way, kain uli sa chowking (beef wanton!)... plus talk.
Yung talk namin... next time na. Humahaba na yung post eh.
All that dahil lang sa takteng manual ng graphing calcu ko. Aliw!
Onga pala, I took gab's advice at gumawa na rin ako ng LJ account. LosA2k6. Add nyo ko :)
One last thing. Happy Birthday Bro!!!

End of the Line
Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Zion! The war is over! The war is oveeeeeeer!!!"
Hi - Exams are over! No more req's! Deremof!
Lo - I choked a lot sa Math exam. I hate it na yun pa yung last memory ko ng HS
Starting today, may bagong thing sa mga posts - yung Hi Lo, natutunan ko sa talk ni Bro Cis kanina. At the end of the day, think about the highs and lows that happened that day, tapos pag-isipan mo. Its a small thing, pero it just might lead you to where God wants you. Think about it.
My High School life has ended. Not yet officially (sa grad pa yun), pero tapos na lahat ng kelangan. No more cramming, no more late nights and early mornings (until June...). Senti, yes, pero I'll enjoy this moment. I've worked hard the 4 years, and doubly hard this last year. And finally, I can rest. Ahhh... Salamat... I've earned this :)
As for the talk kanina, Bro Cis was... ang galing. Simple words pero sobrang talab. And oh so wise... Balance what you want, where you are needed and what you have. The examen of conscience. Ding-ding moments. Pray. Yes, I still don't have my answer, pero at least I have a way to find out. God, I hope I can reach out to you...

Shell Shocked
Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"OMG"
It was almost perfect. Book-it na ko dapat sa ateneo. UP was just no match. Then... it happened...
Oblation scholar ako.
Not naman na I don't want it. Sure, thanks. Ang galing ko pala talaga. Pero... *sigh* What does this mean?!? Is this a sign na UP dapat ako? Or parang test lang kung gano ko kagusto sa ateneo?
Shet. Ante up, sobra. Kung baga sa economics, halos patas yung opportunity cost eh. Smooth na dapat eh... Dam...
Pero, on the flipside, this is still a blessing. Biro mo o, naging kapantay ko si ec, berbi at alvin! Wherever ako pumunta, it just means na maraming binigay sakin si Lord, at sana mabalik ko lahat to. Salamat
... sa free will
On the lighter side... ansarap ng rib-eye at oysters sa Chateau Verde (yung sa may likod ng UP coop.) Buffet sila every weekend. Yuuum, sobra

Momentum Breaker
Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Why do you have to make things so complicated?"
For probably the only time in my life, I didn't like the long weekend. Everything went haywire. Sabog na skeds, sabog na mindset, sabog na situation natin (at least medyo ayus na sya. medyo) Plus the fact na inubos nila yung last days namin. Takte.
Dumaan kami ng UP kahapon. Yes, pasado ako. And ho noes, psych din. Oh my gulay.
*flashback to 4years ago*
"Mik, nandito na yung letter ng Ateneo. Pasado ka ata. Nandito na rin yung sa Pisay, check mo na lang."
Yes, pasado ako. Sa pareho. Oh my gulay.
*back to present*
I guess alam nyo what I chose. Stress on the I. Noon, it was my decision. I gave the final word, with a lot of sleepless nights and hearing a lot of biased opinions. Now, it is still my decision. I give the final word, probably with not as much sleepless nights, but hearing a little more biased opinions.
Simple problem: choosing between two different schools for the same course
Complex problem: comfort vs freedom, the scouted path vs the unsure path, soaring among others vs soaring on your own, among so many others... again, oh my gulay
Pero in the end, what does this all mean? Ano ba plano sa kin sa mundong ito? Then again, this is my life, my decision. This is my time. God help me. You always do :)
