worsen condition

I thought after taking medicines yesterday my condition will get better. on the contrary, it get worse. I hope, ill get better soon... gotta rest for awhile now...

I am not feeling well!!!

Few days from now, we are going to Baguio for the moot court but still I'm not feeling well! Maybe because of the stress and lack of sleep from the seminar. I hope my condition will get better before the trip to Baguio because it will also be very tiring!? I'm very happy with regards to the room and bus assignment because the people I am going to be with in my one week stay in Teachers Camp (creepy!!!) are all my friends.

To all the respondents:

I believe that we will be able to win this case!!!

God is with us!!!

Good Luck!!!

The Success of the "Youth's Knowledge is our Nation's Future Seminar"

"Youth's Knowledge is our
Nation's Future Seminar"

a.k.a.

Parliamentary Practice and Procedure
and
System of Government Seminar

The mere preparation for the seminar is very tiring!!! Problems such as lack of envelopes, papers, supplies and etc., the speakers who still don't have a power point presentation, the kits, the chairs and many more... Even the day of the seminar itself is very tiring, we have to perform logistics (which is usually given to the guys for carrying chairs, tables etc.) because we don't have any guy member in the group!!!

In the end, the seminar is very successful!!! thanks to the cooperation of all members of the group, the sangguniang kabataan (sk) of Binangonan, Rizal for participating in the seminar and to the undying support of the very kind Mayor of Binangonan, Rizal, Mayor Boyet Ynares...

Lastly, I thank the Lord for all the blessings he have given and about to give us!!!

Par Pro and System of Govt. Seminar Video Presentation

I made this video for our seminar in Binangonan, Rizal.
Even though I'm not a pro when it comes to video making stuff, I still wanna say that I'm proud of myself!!!

however unwillingly

or sadly,

out of our

a hard judgment is passed

on him,

for all the pleas of the heart."

Whose face reveals spiritual essence,

Whose presence is a warmth of friendship;

Tribute

as I said before, I am going to post an article to pay tribute to the person I owe my life, and with that I will post a poem from that I believe will show my appreciation to this person...

I just want to let you know
What is on my mind.
You know that I love you so.
You are one of a kind.

In my heart, there's a special place
Where all of your love lives.
Everything's in a special case
And all my love to you I give.

It hurts me when I see you cry,
Makes my tears come running down.
And I always know the reason why
I can see it in your frown.

When, late at night, you're asleep in bed
And I'm still wide awake.
I creep in your room and kiss your head
For the sweet dreams it will make.

Don't look back in the past
Or listen to the bad things I say.
For they are untrue, I regret them fast
I love you more each and every day.

I wish I could kiss away your pain
And dry your lonesome tears.
If I could, I'd stop your unwanted rain
And scare away your fears.

No words can explain how I feel.
I can never thank you enough.
For all the love and pain you've healed
When all my times got tough.

I wrote this poem as I sat
Thinking of my Mama, so true.
In rough times, always remember that
Mama, I Love You!!!

Few days

Few days from now i will post an article to pay tribute to the person I owe my life....

wherever she is...

i know she is happy!!!

We Love You!?

Force Majeure

Force Majeure - (French for "superior force") is a common clause in contracts which essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as war, strike, riot, crime, act of God (e.g., flooding, earthquake, volcano), prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract. However, force majeure is not intended to excuse negligence or other malfeasance of a party, as where non-performance is caused by the usual and natural consequences of external forces (e.g., predicted rain stops an outdoor event), or where the intervening circumstances are specifically contemplated.

Just Watch?

"Watch your thoughts;

they become words.

Watch your words;

they become actions.

Watch your actions;

they become habits.

Watch your habits;

they become character.

Watch your character;

it becomes your destiny."

- Frank Outlaw

Teachers Camp

When the decision regarding the place where the moot court will be held was served, final and executory!? The creeps that I felt for almost a year ago come back!!! Imagine, I don't have a choice but to go back to Baguio again, (I like Baguio but the place where we are going to stay is very scary!!!) specifically on teachers Camp.

A year ago, I together with the whole 3rd and 4th year student of our department went to baguio to attend the youth congress and youth camp. Me and some of my friends were assigned to "textbook," the name of the cottage. Every night, I have to sleep early not because of lack of sleep and tiredness but because of the fear of seeing a ghost. Imagine, the ghost have a name!!! that's true!? the ghost name is Lulu. I ask my friend why did they named the ghost Lulu, she answered back: "because Lulu is a short term for lulutang-lutang (I don't know if she is trying to put up a joke).

the whole week that we stayed in textbook, I experienced a lot of scary things though I have'nt seen a ghost still you will feel their presence. I remember telling a friend that there is someone in the balcony but she said there is no one there (hmmm... i don't want to investigate further about it), Also, i heard some classmates telling that the comfort rooms give them creeps, as well as they keep on telling that it seems no one is occupying the cottage (how come? every night, my classmates turn on their mp3's and stereos up to the maximum volume which is as if they were having a party!? so, it's impossible that you will not hear the sounds and see the lights are always turn on...

One thing that creeps me most, is the fact that we are going to stay in the page hall. I've heard from some fellow students that they keep on hearing footsteps and a girl singing in the hall which later on justified by my friends...

well, I've heard teachers camp is already renovated, I just hope the ghosts will leave the camp soon!!!

Life

"Life's most persistent

and

urgent question is:

what are you doing for others?"

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

tallying: may cause brain damage

I never felt that tallying a survey will be nerve wrecking and may cause brain damage!?

You may call it absurd! but if you are going in my position right now, I know you will feel the same!?

honestly, I've attended statistics class during my 2nd year in college that's why in one way or another i've got an idea on how to do it, getting the mean, medium, mode etc. still it's different from the actual tallying than reading books and learning the formulas.

I hope to finish everything soon...

Fly

"I've read that I flew up the hills

and mountains of France.

But you don't fly up a hill.

You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill,

and maybe,

if you work very hard,

you get to the top ahead of everybody else."

- Lance Armstrong

Fools Gold

Even fools are thought to be wise

Tallying

I'm tired!?

it seems my head will burst like my friends keep on saying after drinking liquor! Honestly, I haven't got a chance to drink liquor and I don't have plans for that!?

maybe you're wondering why I feel this way, the reason is our thesis!?

the super duper mind boggling thesis!!!

I did lots of thesis paper during my lower years in college but this paper is different because we need to conduct survey (which i keep on telling to you guys it's physically and mentally draining!?) and to generate the results of the survey by tallying and getting it's percentage (I do not fear numbers unlike others do!? but this tallying really got me going insane!?).

Unfortunately, we haven't got a chance to finish our thesis but the good news is our defense were move and we don't have to cram like other groups in are class are doing!?

What is Thesis?

A thesis statement declares what you believe and what you intend to prove. A good thesis statement makes the difference between a thoughtful research project and a simple retelling of facts.

A good tentative thesis will help you focus your search for information. But don't rush! You must do a lot of background reading before you know enough about a subject to identify key or essential questions. You may not know how you stand on an issue until you have examined the evidence. You will likely begin your research with a working, preliminary or tentative thesis which you will continue to refine until you are certain of where the evidence leads.

The thesis statement is typically located at the end of your opening paragraph. (The opening paragraph serves to set the context for the thesis.)

Remember, your reader will be looking for your thesis. Make it clear, strong, and easy to find.

After Survey

My feet is still aching for walking for almost 7 hours as well as my hands for writing the answers of all our respondents this morning... I bet vianka is also tired... we're the one who distribute the survey questionnaires...

Now, I realized the difference of the character of each person that's why they are called individuals because some of the respondents we ask to answer the survey questionnaires are snobbish, bully, ignorant (i dont want to explain it), still, some are very nice and approachable.

other than that, I thank the lord for all his blessing and also all the respondents for helping us in our thesis.

after the physical torture (conducting a survey), we will come to mental and emotional torture of tabulating the survey forms, doing chapter 4 and 5. also, my newly discovered chapter 6 which is the frontpage, abstract, table of contents, list of tables and figures, approval sheets, dedications and acknowledgements...

i hope to finish all of this tomorrow...

Busy Week

I am very busy!?

Of course, it's because of the subject requirements

too many school activities this week:

a. thesis paper - the super duper difficult to finish thesis that we have, currently we are conducting survey. hopefully, we'll be able to finish it tomorrow.

b. printing of my written report about legal basis of accountability

c. Printing the answered module

d. Reviewing laws on taxation and cases

e. printing my policy papers and assignment
