fatigued

yes i am fatigued. i average about 4 hours sleep this past few days. i haven't done my ncps and i barely make good scribbles in my blog.

i want to go and worship once more. i wish it's worship day already.

it's been so long since i have posted here in my blog. to be exact, it's been 102 days since my last post last year. a lot of things have happened and as i scribble these texts that i'm typing i try to ponder, was there any significant changes or improvements in my life since that 102 days have passed?

a hobby

when i was in high school i used to have this hobby called magic: the gathering, magic cards for short or mtg to be shorter. not only is this a hobby for me but also a good side line business. cards are not only collectibles but also profitable as well. the things is, ever since i went to college, i've never had a hobby like this. i'm lost searching for a hobby that not only fun but also could complete me as a person. mtg did that for me before, but not anymore since i no longer have the finances to maintain the hobby. i'm hopeful there is something out there for me that i could do and share with my friends too. the only requirement i have for whatever it is, is that it shouldn't cost too much money.

a sport

i don't really have a sport. i used to play basketball when i was a kid but no longer. i could no longer do my infamous legendary shot from the half court. yes, it was a feat i could normally do before but not anymore. i'm searching for a sport that could help me improve my physical skills, especially my hand-eye coordination, my body image and my over all physical health as well.

advocacy

i do have a lot of advocacies that i exercise regularly in a daily basis. my number one advocacy is all about the environment, ever since i've learned about carbon footprint and how it affects the environment i always try my best to reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible. i also would like to recommend to other people to reduce their carbon footprint as well. i reduce my carbon footprint by doing any of the following:

1. i no longer ask for any plastic bag whenever i buy anything from any store. except whenever i really really need to (emphasis on really).
2. i mostly buy things that are made from recyclable material. so that's paper, plastic and bottles.
3. if i don't need it, i don't buy it. there's no need to use the three R's if you haven't used anything in the first place.
4. i walk, a lot! whenever i can i usually skip my last jeepney ride home. and mind you 1.6 kilometers is not an easy distance to walk alone.
5. whenever i'm alone at home, i use sunlight as my light source. not only is it free but nature friendly too.

my second advocacy is all about education. i'm really lucky since i'm blessed in terms of being educated. even though i had a lot of set backs i'm still lucky enough to have a mind that could think critically. and the thing is, with our present economy and social status, not all of the youth gets to have an education that could help elevate their economic status. and the sad thing is some of them are not even interested in learning anymore relevant. they only have time for games like dota in their heads. this is a really saddening fact. and it's really difficult for someone of my standing to even make a dent in the improvement of our education. this is why i try my best to teach to anyone who asks me questions about things they have difficulty understanding. i believe that somehow my small acts could at least change one persons view about education. that this is something we students should prioritize. something that we should hang on to. something that we should invest to.

medical school

i took the nmat twice already. and i'm not really sure about my performance with the second one. as usual i'm hoping for the best and not really expecting anything. but i do hope God answers every bit of my prayers and give me that astonishing 99 this second week of may. i just watched the movie 21 last night. i say this is a really good movie. i really admire the lead character and he's genius. i wish i was just like him. smart and hard working. i only have the smart attribute, and i'm just the average smart, not the uber smart. he's just like me, he wants to go to medical school too. and he's just like me again, someone who wishes that there is more to life than just money. we both have the same problems, we both don't have the money for medical school. we both have the same plan, we both aim for scholarships. i just wished that it would work out for me in the same way it did for him in the movie. i really want to get into up college of medicine. it's my dream school. it's what i've been building my studies for. it's a goal i want to achieve. and though in know it's not impossible for me to get there, there this just this feeling that i can't shake off.

blog year end special

last year around 11:59:50, i was standing right infront of our home counting off the last 10 seconds of 2008. today i'll do exactly the same, and at the same time also looking back at the last 365 days of my life. there were good times and bad times. most of which i'll remember for the rest of my life.
i'm really looking forward to this new year. i hope it is filled with the same joy and happiness that 2009 has given. to 2009, i bid farewell and to 2010 i welcome you with open arms. i know will have wonderful moments in life and love. :P

Merry Christmas to all!

merry Christmas everybody! hope you guys have a very special day celebrating the birth of our lord Jesus Christ.

manila doctors college christmas tree

on my way to zamboanga city in 8 hours.

this will be the first time i'm going home to my province this decade. it's been so long since i went home there. the year that time was 2000. i was a fresh graduate from elementary and had recently been accepted to the manila science high school.

but did you know that zamboanga city is independent from the 3 zamboanga provinces? namely zamboanga del norte, del sur and sibugay. yes, it is its own city just like any city here in the metro. it is also one of the oldest cities in the country and one of the largest in the world in terms of area with a total are of 1,483.3849 km². it's native language is chavacano. i guess i should start practicing my chavacano skills.

i'll buy myself some vintas when i get there.

love is like fluids and electrolytes

love is like fluids and electrolytes.

i'm K⁺and she's Na⁺. i'm confined in the interstitial and she roams freely in the intravascular. wherever she goes a lot of others follow. she's so near yet so far. but when we get so close together, there's still this semi permeable membrane that keeps us apart.

love is like fluids and electrolytes.

december blog up: nmat, missing stops and a few more.

after a long absence i write again here in my blog to post some updates. hopefully i could write here more regularly since one of the reasons why i started this blog is to practice my writing skills. anyway here is a few updates about me in order of how i remember them. :D

i missed my stop...

yes, and it happened so fast. it was my last jeepney ride home for today and i was thinking about this someone. we aren't really close, not even a dent close. but i was thinking about this person in such a deep manner that when the jeepney stopped at my destination, i didn't get down. not until i realized that i'm seeing the place i'm no longer supposed to see for that ride. good thing i realized it soon enough and i was able to get down a good walking distance from home. i find it really funny since this is the first time this has happened to me in a real long while.

nmat, national medical admission test

today i took the nmat for the first time in la salle taft. i was really nervous since i didn't study at all. and to think i was aiming for a 99 percentile. but i know from the start that it was impossible. it took 5 1/2 hours for the entire 400 items to be answered. part 1 was 200 items for a good 3 hours which included a lot of abstract reasoning with figures and numbers. what really took my time was the visual perception part. looking at those images really took a toll in my body and brain. and the aircon was pointed at me. i should've brought paracetamol. part 2 was a bit more familiar and easier for me to answer. it's a 200 item test for 2 1/2 hours. it covered biology, physics, social sciences and chemistry. and as expected the psychology and socio-anthro subtest destroyed me. huhu.. i should've enrolled in a review center. hopefully i was able to do good with the test. well hopefully God heard all my prayers and gave what i asked. i thank Him for everything.

youth for christ

yes! they're my new family now. i had so much fun when i am with them. the camps, the bondings and the worships. this family brought me closer to God, and i am glad i made the decision to join their ranks. they've opened a lot of doors for me to enter. and i promise i won't waste any of those opportunities this family gives me.




for who we are is what God makes of us. for all is as God wills it.
