random updates!

whew! as i've said in my last post i'll try to revive again my blog! at ito na yun! may prepaid na ako and at last nakahanap na ako ng time! haha! well, it has been an up and down for the 1st 2 months of our 1st semester. as far as i can remember, out of the 8 subjects we have this sem, medyo tagilid na ako dun sa tatlo (psych, spanish at pinoy) lalo na sa pinoy... good thing medyo nakabawi naman ako ng kaunti dun sa remaining five (lit, tv prod, scriptwriting, adver, comm-socio) na karamihan ay major ko. kaya naman todo bawi na talaga ako bago mag-prelim exams para maka-buelo na din pagdating ng finals. another thing that i'm pre-occupied with is yung trabaho ko as a society officer. syempre medyo malaki yung population ng society namin so talagang kailangan tutukan mo yung needs nila. to be honest, it's hard pero masaya kasi you get to meet new people and help them at the same time. anyways, that's my short update on how am i doing at the moment as a junior CA student. at simula pa lang ito! more to come pa! kaya good luck talaga sa akin! haha! ciao!

can't find time!

my last post was a month ago... whew... iba na talaga kapag third year... dami ginagawa... idagdag mo pa ang trabaho ko bilang treasurer ng CASA na isa sa pinakamalaking major sa UST... saan ko pa kaya isisingit ang pagpopost ko?... tapos wala pa kaming internet sa bahay (tinatamad kasi akong bumili ng prepaid..hehe..) kaya ayon! nagmukhang stagnant tuloy ang blog ko... pero don't worry by this week bubuhayin ko na ulit ang blog ko.. magpopost na ako... hehe... aryt?! cge.. continue dropping by! ciao!

kapamilya vs. kapuso... healthy competition?

lahat naman tayo ay aware sa network war ng abs-cbn 2 at gma 7. pero minsan hindi natin malaman kung sino ang talagang magaling at hindi gaya-gaya na network kasi kapag may bagong show ang isa tatapatan ito ng kabila. kapag may changes sa timeslot magpapalit din ang isa. well, i understand na these 2 are the largest networks here in our country and both of them aims to be the #1 station. eh sino ba talaga ang #1 sa kanilang dalawa? para sa akin, walang #1 kasi pareho lang silang dalawa. both channels have good shows and good talents. sana lang wag dinadaan sa paninira ang competition at saka sana kahit papaano maging grateful ang isang talent dun sa pinaggalingan niya if ever bumaliktad siya ng channel. hindi yung basta na lang nakalipat tapos sisiraan yung pinanggalingan. ikaw, saan ka kabilang? kapamilya or kapuso?

not your ordinary honda civic!

when my friend tin bought her honda civic vti-s a few years ago it was just a simple light brown/gold car cruising the streets of the metropolis. it has no sound set-up, no low profile tires, no dazzling magwheels and no murals at all... something like this:





but after a few years from the time she bought it, the car passed through different stages to be refurbished and become one of the most fascinating cars i ever saw in our country... here's a preview of it:





well, wondering why the car is displayed on a show? actually, the car was an entry at the 2004 trans sport show at the sm megamall megatrade hall. many car enthusiasts were impressed with the car and so were the judges of the said show...





...the car eventually bagged the show's 4 major awards: "Best of Show", "Best Mural", "Best Car Display" and "Best Asian Millennium Medium Modified II."





so do i make sense if i say that this pink honda civic vti-s is one of the most fascinating cars in our country? well, it's just not your ordinary honda civic isn't? if you want see the car in person it is currently parked at my friends house here in filinvest 1.

NBA playoffs!

according to many, the nba playoffs is the real season of the nba. this is where the men are separated from the boys. easy baskets are out hard fouls are in! determination and a big heart is needed to capture the larry o'brien trophy or commonly called the nba championship and this year 16 teams again are vying to get that trophy. the defending champions detroit pistons is out to defend their title. the san antonio spurs, dallas mavericks, boston celtics and indiana pacers, teams which have entered the playoffs for the last two years are still there to once again have a shot of the championship while newbies like chicago bulls, washington wizards and phoenix suns (who has the nba's best record) will have their hands full to contain the old-timers and be successful on their quest for the ultimate goal which is the nba championship. so...let's get it started and watch how each team fight for their lives because its either they win or go home!

zeeero - threee

yes! 0-3! that's my team's record in our village league. we had our 3rd game last saturday against red. the good thing about it is that my team is almost complete but the bad thing about it is that we lost by 9 points after leading the game from 1st quarter to 3rd quarter. our team became complacent and lost it's composure in the 4th quarter. our next game will be against black team on may 1st, sunday at 4pm, this will also be the start of the 2nd round. after our game, i went to leira's debut @ hotel rembrandt in tomas morato. after the debut, i went to city jam to watch the band Spiel for the 2nd straight saturday w/ cha, john, robby, kat, amet, tammy and kuya pok. and during the open jam i was given a chance to jam w/ the band Spiel w/ popo of moonstar 88 on drums. went home @ about 3 am.

Happy Birthday Leira!

trans sport show!

it has been a tradition for me and my dad to attend the trans sport show every year in sm megamall since it's first year and as far as i can remember we just missed one trans sport show wheteher i am w/ my dad or with my friends. we just enjoy looking at the different cars that are displayed in the show while my dad also checks out the things being sold in the event. for this year we attended the 1st day of the said show. well of course there were awesome cars displayed on the event. cars like the 1977 toyota celica, 1973 and 1974 toyota corolla sprinter, 1997 honda civic 2-door sedan and the 2000 honda civic ek9 (type-r) were the ones who caught my attention. there were many other cars which stand-out but i just can't mention them all. for sure i will be back again next year for the 2006 trans sport show.

we have a new pope!

it was 6pm in vatican city (wednesday midnight in manila) when a white smoke appeared in the chimney atop the sistine Chapel. the smoke tells us that we already have a new pope. indeed yes! a new pope is elected in the person of cardinal joseph ratzinger of germany. cardinal ratzinger, the 265th pontiff in the church's 2000-year history chose pope benedict xvi as his name. pope benedict xvi, became the first german pope in centuries and will turn 78 years old on saturday. he was pope john paul ii's closest advisers and became the dean of the college of cardinals in 2002. he was the one who celebrated the mass during pope john paul ii's funeral. pope benedict xvi was said to be a conservative pope according to reports and in 1986 he issued a firm vatican denunciation of homosexuality and gay marriage. well, these are some of the facts about our new pope. as for me, i think pope benedict xvi will rise to the challenge left by pope john paul ii. although he's quite old, he can still make the most out of it. let's just support him by praying for him and being good catholics as well.

do you have any comments regarding our new pope? just leave a comment me on my comment link or chatterbox! thanks!
