Anonymous asked: Dear Anon... That 5,000 is considered as an option money. UST is not obliged to return the money if the period expires. Tama si Athena sa sinabi niya.
Anonymous asked: Athena. Wag ka sana maooffend. Pero nagtataka talaga ako sa UST. Dati pa nila sinasabi na perahan lang daw dun para makapasok. Then yung pinsan ko, accountancy din kukunin. Tapos pinagbayad sila ng reservation P5,000. Tapos on-waiting list pa sya. Grabe so kelangan ganun. Pano kung di sya makapasok, pano na yung 5k? Alam mo rin ba yung mga ganitong issue sa ust?

I also wanted to be cpa. 3rd yr hs ako ngayon, at dumating sa point na sure na talaga akong mag-aacounting. Hindi man ako ganun kagaling sa math at pag-aanalyze pero yun talag gusto ko eh.

I wrote my comprehensive book review on Eros Atalia’s Wag Lang Di Makaraos. Just as I was about to post it, I didn’t notice that the LAN cable loosened. Everything vanished. I’m not going to do it all over again. Maybe some other time. Right now I’m just pissed. :|

Old Habits are Hard to Break
One of the most badly publicized consumer products in the Philippines is the firecracker. Well, maybe next to cigarettes. Not so long ago, infomercials of amputated fingers and bloody faces were aired on local channels come year end. These, however, made no significant impact to the public in refraining from purchasing and using firecrackers. I don’t have the statistics to prove that so...

CHED to Close Popular Courses Next Year
According to this article, the CHED might close popular courses i.e. accounting, nursing and education next school year. This was prompted by the lack of employment opportunities available to its graduates and the mismatching of jobs.
It is saddening to know that many poor families suffer to make ends meet just to afford their children education which proves to be futile at the end of the day...

50 @ 2012
This coming year I’ve decided to ditch the annual new year’s resolution since it’s just a big joke. I’ve been telling myself since forever that I will study harder but I’m not going anywhere. Instead, I’ll start a project called 50 books @ 2012.
In 2012, I will attempt to read a total of 50 books. I know I can’t pull off 100 books in a year, since...

UST broke rules in favor of Chief Justice Corona?
There is this circulating article about Chief Justice Corona’s dissertation paper (or the lack thereof) over the internet. Click here. Interestingly, the issue was released at this time of the year, just in time for his impeachment complaint trial.
I haven’t done much research on this, and frankly I do not know the technicalities of a dissertation paper. But I think Ms. Vitug is a...

Tangerine Christmas
Christmas luncheon at home with some relatives.
2011 Christmas family picture at home, too.
We are required to wear the same color per family in our clan reunion. I find it cool to have the Christmas family photo in style.
Also, this will be the last time for me to receive gifts from grandparents, godparents, parents, aunts and uncles. Next year, hopefully, I will be employed! And that I...
HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS! :)

A Song, an Envelope and a Generous Hand
I sent this to Inquirer’s Young Blood column but it’s been two months already and they still haven’t published it. Okay, if you won’t publish this then I will. I’m used to being always not good enough anyway.
“Bakit pa kailangan ng rosas, kung marami namang mag-aalay sa’yo?” It has always been the same kid, and always the same song.

Grateful at 20
Hello everyone! Here’s a birthday post. :)
I was born on December 07, 1991; the 50th year anniversary of the Pearl Harbor bombing. That fact is courtesy of my Dad. And I’m just happy that my name is not Pearl.
Well anyway, I’m here to tell you how my day was. Calling it fine will be an understatement because surely it wasn’t just fine.
Let’s start with the machine...
DECEPTION
Here’s my essay entry for this year’s Ustetika. I didn’t win but I’m happy that I was able to write this one.
I advise attempting readers to read this essay in its entirety only from top to bottom, no sneak peaks please.

Hospital [Ar]Rest
I apologize for my inactivity these past few days for I was confined in the hospital for four days due to food poisoning. I’m telling you, I’ve been through hell. Just thinking about food makes me want to throw up. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. Stomach hurts big time. My head throbs. Fever reached 40. Needles are stuck in my skin like crazy. They replaced my IV twice, which...

Case Digests Far East Bank & Trust Company vs Diaz...
This is my first ever in history case digest and I did it in the wee hours of the morning after a day of room renovations. My hands are numbed and my brain won’t cooperate so I did a mediocre digest and I’m pretty sure I have not covered the important matters. Also, I admit that I skipped some provisions. In the first place, I don’t know how to make a proper case digest....

I am almost sure that I will die in a staircase.
Just this afternoon I tripped again at my apartment’s staircase. Staircases and I go a way back. When I was young I used to trip and roll down the stairs. I call it a miracle that I am still alive as of this writing.
Our college is in the 4th floor of the carpark building and I take a six-times-a-week-dangerous-hike to place a flag at the...

The Thing with Women
I do not get women.
We are the staunch advocates of sexual equality. We preach to the world that we can handle the same responsibilities men handle. We have fought for our right of suffrage. We run for public office. We discredit companies that advertise a job that says: “Wanted, MALE Janitor.”
And yet, we get exasperated when not a single man gives up his bus seat for us. Aren’t men and women...

Attest, Intestate, Testimony, Testament, Testify &...
I know this issue is so last week ago but here’s a thing worth knowing.
Topacio betting his testicles to secure the Arroyo family’s return is not just funny, it also has its allegorical significance.
The Latin word for a witness was testis, which derives from an Indo-European word for the number three. That was because the Romans regarded a witness as what we would call a trusted...

A Happy Memory
I used to hit the lyre when I was in pre-school.
I just hit it because I never learned to play it—I was in pre-school for crying out loud! I can’t remember why my parents sent me to school every Saturday just to hit the keys I did not make any sense of. I went to school every 7 am on Saturdays to learn the art of the lyre. 7 am is like the holy hour for me today and I am amazed at my younger self...

People always have something to say.
Do something and they have something to say.
Do nothing and they have something to say.
Say something and they have something to say.
Say nothing and they have something to say.
The whole point of it, do what you think is right—they will always have something to say anyway.
Anonymous asked: Thank you for an objective opinion about atheism and sharing some of the Christian views. I'm glad that you weren't a bigoted one like the others who are like,"I dont really much know about them but I am sure that they will burn in hell."

Anonymous asked: Anong masasabi mo sa issue ni GMA?
Anonymous asked: My B. answer falls on the last 2 letters. It is true that we dont recognize the goodness of a God; because we don't believe in it in the first place. Being very religious can eventually lead to questioning and seek not just for answers, but for objective ones. That's why I started questioning when I learned about dinosaurs and evolution in a biology class. And that led my questioning to...

Time is not just gold.
Time is a relative thing. We have tried so hard to measure it in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, scores, centuries, and even millennia, but time will always remain an enigma.
Time crawls when I’m in a dull Friday afternoon class with a boring subject with a really old professor. Time is faster than the speed of light when I wake up in the morning and snooze my alarm...
