Today is a day after Christmas. Yesterday was my first Christmas in Nasipit, Agusan del Norte with all aunts and uncles from my mother's side (except for one family, the Moncadas), all their children (my cousins), my grandmother, my mum, my brother and my sister. It's fun having Christmas here. So many people - never a dull moment. Although sometimes, it's too noisy. But really, I can bare with it. Come January 3 I think I will missing all the noise. hehehe

Tomorrow, me and the everybody else in this town will be attending the FCA (Felias Clan Association) Chrimstas Party. Yep! I am Felias. Well, at least my great grandmother is. Almost everybody in Nasipit is Felias. Ha! Wherever I go, I see relatives. hehehe

My great grandmother, which I only got to know of today (not that she's still alive...she's dead...but at least now I know she once existed... and well, existing in me and all the people here in Nasipit if you look at it in that way...), is Gadencia Felias. She married Isidiro Abao and bore my grandfather whose name Eduardo (although when I was young I called him Lolo Adok. I don't remember him that much. He died when I was small. He didn't even get to see my sister.). Lolo Adok married Teofila "Lola Pilang" Matammu. My grandparents have a very funny family. When Lolo and Lola met, Lolo was (I think) 30ish (age ha!) while Lola was 18! Beat that! Corrupting minors!!! hehehe

They met in Manila. Lolo was arranged to marry this girl, but then found out that the girl was sleeping with somebody else on the day they were supposed to be married (beat that!). So, he ran away (don't exactly know why of all the things, he did that. he could just have told his parents what he saw so they could call off the wedding or something). Lolo went to Manila and met Lola there. I don't know exactly what Lola was doing in Manila (becuase she's from Cagayan Valley). She probably also ran away. And... the rest is history... they fell in love... got marreid... and Lolo brought her to Nasipit.

Lola hasn't visited Cagayan Valley ever since she met Lolo in Manila. My mum have been trying to convince her to visit Cagayan (even just for a visit), but she really does not like to. Her sister (who is rumored to be very pretty but then decied to become a nun... uhm... went out with a priest... you get the picture, right?) keeps on inviting her to Cagayan.

I'm actually excited for tomorrow.

I'm gonna see what I have been missing for 20 years, when my parents decided to let me and my siblings grow up away from all our relatives (from both sides). I know I missed a few things by not growing up with these people. But I think my parents made a good decision by letting us grow up apart from everybody.

christmas! christmas! christmas! yes! it's the christmas vacation. but guess what!!!! i'm sick!!!!

colds. cough. sore throat. and a fever coming up.

too much of anything, whether good or bad, in the long run really is bad - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually... and financially too. hehehe

hay... just had three days of fun back in davao. upon arriving in davao last saturday morning, i immediately went out with one of my long lost friends (i mean those i haven't seen for a very long time), Vebs. we hanged out at the mall for a couple of hours and then proceeded to jacksridge. i don't know why i was so excited to go to jacksridge... uhm... most probably because the view is soooo nice (even if the direct view is the memorial park...it's nevertheless overlooking the whole davao city), the air is fresh too...giving a meditative aura...but more than the physical, the place reminds me of some of my best memories ever...

jacksridge is the place, one of the main reasons why i am where i am and i am who i am. it is where i found a real friend. it is the reason why i am graduating this march, hopefully. it is the reason why, given all heartaches and heartbreaks i was put into, i never gave up. and i feel so blessed.

an old friend once told me: "one friend in a lifetime is enough. two is too much. three is hardly possible." darn! i feel like the luckiest person in the world - i have such great friends. i guess, i just wanted to thank the place.

moving on... the next day, sunday, i went out again. PJ, Mitch, and I went to the mall (again!), had fun with the arcade, and tried the sing-a-long. hehehe . it was so fun! couldn't get enough of it! and now that i think about it... it's probably the reason why i am having a sore throat right now.

after the mall, we went to Dumoy - it's this beach resort near Villa Victoria in Toril. sympre, we ate, talked a lot (probably, one of the best conversations ever... not because of the topic mind you!!! but because of the content and the honesty).

after Dumoy, we all went home. but before we got home, we had this eerie experience with the supernatural. i swear!!! i heard footsteps. PJ saw a black shadow. and i cried because the "mu-mu" feeling was too strong. i'm such a coward!

monday... i went out with Luan and PJ. PJ again! i wasn't suppose to go out with PJ but then he forgot to get the CD from me the night before. so, i had to meet him again. the three of us played arcades again. again. again. PJ kept losing to Luan (and to me!) in basketball. Imagine that! (PJ-san peace!) but before we met up with Luan and PJ started losing (hehehe ), PJ and I had lunch at Dencio's. he paid for it. wahahaha Muchos Gracias PJ-san!!!

after lunch, we met Luan at National Bookstore, played arcade, ate at Dunkin... and then PJ had to go buy some electrical stuffs and Luan and I went shopping. funny! Luan and I actually bought the same shirt in different colors. we're planning to wear it at the same time one of these days.

today... i'm in Nasipit. and as promised, i will be spending the rest of my christmas vacation finishing all my school works. i think i've had enough play. now, it's time for work. can you even imagine how tyrannical my teachers are? i have a very long homework for the christmas break. arg...

i don't understand why i'm feeling so down all of a sudden. i was hyping myself for christmas but it seems as if the opposite is happening. it feels gloomy from this side of the world - it feels lonely. hay! just what is happening?!?! i will not allow one of the brightest times in the year to turn gloomy for me!!! nope, not me.

i think this is too much of that Lovers in Paris korean soap. or probably because dev eco is stressing me so much. or maybe because after four years, my mum has finally allowed me to spend 2 days in gensan. yes, it's a pathetic 2 days to make up for my lost 4 years, but at least i have 2 days.

i feel down in the dumps. and i can't seem to point exactly why...

Would you believe I was so excited to go to school that I hardly slept last night? Yep. I am. So, shoot me.

yesterday...

unforgetable orals quote: "Where is God?"
unforgetable number: 83
unfogetable movie: Sky Captain
unforgetable movie quote: "Camera lens"
unfogetable corny joke: Q - "Ano ang mas malaki sa city?" A - ocho

He's so nice!!! As in!!! If he gets really old and he needs somebody to take care of him. I'd gladly volunteer. It would be an honor!

I had my orals today for Philo104 (morality). Fr. Que's my morality teacher. He was super just. And he helps students. If you forget anything, he'd help you remember it. So "justice as fairness." So magis. I like him! I want to take him again for my ME elective - Business Ethics. But my random number for next sem is 415... sad.

When it was my turn, he called out my name and he pointed to the space in the middle of the Office of Admission and Aid and told me to do my orals there. The girl who was working in one of the cubicles said, "Fr. tinatakot mo naman eh." And we ended up laughing. I guess that was one good way of making me feel comfortable - for taking the fear away.

I picked thesis statement number 2 but he had me explain Plato and then had me relate it to Aristotle and Aquinas. I had trouble with Aquinas - more specifically, I had trouble with the tendencies and the precepts of natural law (never really understood them). But he helped me. But I was a little too hesitant to accept the help. I was too afraid it was a trap (when you spent years of being challenged by your teachers... you learn). I wish I said yes instead of hestitate. Nevertheless, he was good.

After my orals he said, "O, Anna tapos na" and I said, "yes."

He's really nice. He makes you want to do magis.

I will miss my Philo class as I have always missed them. I like Philo. My brain works and I become. hehehe

Magis. I like the idea of Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. I like Ateneo. I am thankful. I want to do more. I want to become more of myself.

I woke up this morning realizing how much I missed Ateneo Peer Counsellor's Group (ACPG and not PEERS). I missed staying at our little room in the Guidance Office from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. I missed having lively conversations with Maam Tere, Sir Ali, and Sir Erwin. I miss my twin sister, Kate (I think with her very busy schedule at present, she forgot she was first my PC twin sister before anything else). But what I miss most of all, were the people I got to hang out with during my PC shift (1-3 pm, MWF), Pia (Kate and I's baby piglet), Jovinne, Paula (my lola hehehe ), Abi (my mommy), and Dic.

FYI: the baby, mommy, and lola thingies are part of the org's "we are one big family" (second home) promotion. During phase 3 trainings, the new members get mothers to "induct" them to the org. Kate and I have the same mom, that's why we were sisters. But then, because, during the phase 1 and 2 trainings, it would seem as if we thought alike and we were inseparable, we became twin sisters. During phase 3, our mom was Pia but then, before phase 3, I had Abi as my acting mom (and Abi's mom was Paula that's why she's lola). So, we decided to called Pia baby piglet instead. Piglet because she likes pink --> our "Pretty in Pink" baby.

Anyways, I miss the PC room. I miss my shift partners: Abi (1-2) and Dic (2-3) [or was it the other way around Dic first and then Abi... I don't remember]. You know what the nice thing about having a room and a shift is? The nice thing is that you are "forced" to get to know your partner. Before the room shifts, Dic, along with his two other friends Martz and Vic, "intimidated" me (because they were soooo articulate). I was afraid I'd say something wrong and they would go bite my head off. But as I got to know them, especially Dic, during my shift, I realized how nice they were.

Most of the time, during my shift: I'd talk to Paula and Jovinne on just about anything (songs, clothes, nails, boys, graduation requirements, subjects, teachers, ideas, etc.); Pia, Jovinne and I would "coerce" (not the right word) Dic to tell us about his love life; talk about Camigin with Dic; solve opman problems with Abi; have a joke-time with Sir Ali; sleep (I remember I had an OR long test after my PC shift once and I was very sleepy I knew that if I took the test without sleeping first, there was a great probability I would fall asleep. So the solution: there was a sofo inside our PC room, I lied down and because my PC shift partner, Dic, was so nice, he turned the lights off so I could sleep well and wished me good night...if i'm not mistaken, I think during that time he was supposed to study for a quiz...I wonder how he was able to do that when the lights were off. But this just goes to show how missable the people in APCG are.); and of course, do interviews, go counselling and the likes.

At present, there is PEERS. I miss APCG.

I'm so terrified with what is to come:
- marketing panel grade, marketing final marks
- philo reporting, philo lt, philo paper, philo orals, philo final marks
- theo paper, theo reporting, theo orals, theo final marks
- pom reporting, pom final marks
- or reporting, or final marks
- fin lt, fin final marks

It feels as if I'm floating in air - ungrounded; one thing after another; no stopping; seems like eternity.

I want sembreak!!!

To finish our POM paper, Maia and I went to Aumega Works, Inc.'s factory at PEC Compound, Don Mariano Santos Avenue, Brgy. San Isidro, Angono, Rizal. We had a field trip. We rode the jeep from Aurora to the San Isidro Church and then got a tricycle to Aumega. It was fun! It was an adventure.

The mountain view was nice!!! Reminds me of the time when me, dadi, mumi, levy, and audi kept on land-travelling from Gensan to Davao and sometimes to Butuan. There was once we land-travelled from Gensan to Baguio. My butt ached from hours of sitting down, but it was worth it! Hay, I miss the days.

The air in Aumega was cool. It made my day alright. I also got to see my favorite animals to chase: chickens. Obviously, I tried chasing them. It was fun! I have been doing it ever since I remembered and it never fails to amuse me.

I learned something very important from my visit at Aumega: as always, it is still the simple things that never fails to make my day. "The first leaves off a tree...the tunder and rain...how I love the simple things, the simple things just are...the simple things are free." Beauty is in every simple thing. Simplicity is the key.

being stretched to my limits...

i'm at the edge of a cliff... trying to hold on...wishing i could fly...

my whole body's numb...i'm too tired to feel anything...

i want to sleep...but the toughts of what i still have to do keep me awake...

i lie awake in bed listening as my head try to organize the things i am yet to do...

i am angry...

i'm fighting a battle all by myself...it seems so cold...

i'm tired...i want to give up...but i know i must not...

there is still a lot to do...

one day at a time, anna, one day at a time...

just came home from a group meeting for theo131 (to those of you who do not know what this is all about, theo 131 talks about social justice, social sin, poverty, etc.). me and my groupmates will be having our report on thursday and we haven't done anything yet!!! the group meeting was worth it though. at least now, we have something. we know where we are going.

i also just had my last operations research III long test. i was able to solve it. i had answers but i don't know if they were right. hay...

thanks to crislyn for gibing me a copy of "Dream" by Kirsten Dunst. it's such a nice song!!! i'll sing it together with "All I Ask Of You" from Phantom of the Opera.

i do not understand myself tonight. i am stressed. yes, i know that. i am also feeling hopelessly romantic. yes, i don't know why.

a hell lot more comming.

this is anna... officially freaked out... signing off...

just came from my POM class. the discussion was something about the ISO. i really wasn't listening. i was busy thinking of what people from laos are called (in english). are they called laotian? i'm not so sure. loatian sounds too much like martian. hehehe i was also busy thinking about possible names for my ls-or-pom group. two of our many choices are psycab and capsby. both are different permutations of the first letter of our family name: abatayo, banta, chua, panga, sison, yap. tagging along group names, i got hooked thinking of our project name. hehe

every now and then, i'd look at the board and listen to my pom teacher. the subject seems intresting. there were less sleeping people than the usual. the discussion as something about iso (as i've said earlier). it reminds me of my dad. when he was still the general director of carmen corrugated containers and cobox, his calling card had an ISO 900 logo. so, does that mean carmen corrugated containers and cobox were well managed? it should! it should!

hay... i miss my dad. in three months time it'll be his first death anniversary. things right now are not any easier or any lighter than they were the day he died. people, especially my mum, are still mourning. in other words, the people my dad left cannot yet cope up with the whole reality of his death. even i have not fully adapted to the fact that i'll never see him again. sometimes, when i go to national bookstore and find a really nice book i know he'd like, i'd grab my phone from my pocket and start dialling his cellphone number only to realize, in a second or two, that he does not exist anymore.

Darn!!! Guess what I did last night? I modelled!!! Yes, you read that right. I modelled. I modelled 2 outfits from BUM, 1 outfit from BUNNY, and 1 outfit from Bobson. It was crazy! The first outfit I went out with was a white mid-rib with a matching white jacket and a white pedal jogging pants. The second outfit I went out with was a blue shirt with maong pants. The third was a maong mini-skirt with a yellow top. And the last was a red top and a stipped (read and white) miniskirt. I loved the accerssories. They were really nice. It was as much fun as it was terrifying.

Compared to the other models, I was really fat. As in!!! (see picture below and notice the fats!!! that's the third outfit I went out with) My fats were pouring out from the really skimpy clothes I wore last night. hehehe But at least, even for just once in my life, I got to wear clothes that skimpy in pulbic! Now, that's someting I was able to dare - achieve before I graduate college. hehehe

Why did I become a model all of a sudden? Chinie, who was supposed to be modelling, became an emcee because there was no girl emcee. So, I took her place. It was Jessica's idea. hehehe

I think that's the last time I'm ever going to model. hehehe I didn't even know how to pose. How funny I must have seemed!!! But at least, I had that experience. At least the fear didn't stop me. I survived the fear factor challenge!!! hehehe

Marketing
Many people tell me marketing is fun. There are even others who want to pursue marketing as a career in the near future. I am not discounting the "funness" of marketing. I sometimes even enjoy my marketing class lectures. But why can't I like marketing the way so many people do? Is it marketing? Or is it me?

Lunch Break at Eliazo
Had a singing galore with Chloe during my lunch break. We went from singing Disney songs to rather old children songs (e.g. Happy Talking and Small World) to Freddie the Cat. hehehe It was fun!!! Elaine tried so hard to sleep, but I guess Chloe and I were just plain entertaining. She wasn't able to sleep. hehehe See? Even if I'm not that good a singer, I enjoy singing and right now, I badly want to sing in front of an audience (I'm getting tired singing in the CR and in front of the mirror). Blue Rep!!! What a frustration!

Abandoned Children
Somebody help me!!! Where on earth can I get details on the situation of abandoned children in the Philippines? I need it before the week ends. Help! Please...

*** thanks for giving me a laugh

Guess what? I'm seriously thinking of auditioning for Blue Rep. Oh my God!!! I'm losing my head. This is part of my senior's syndrome. I'm so scared to graduate. Actually, I'm so scared to look back 10, 20 years from now and tell myself I should have made the best out of my college life. I don't want that to happen. That's why I'm killing myself!I applied for the position of Associate Director for the Affiliates Department of the Management Engineering Association and I got it. I joined Kythe (for kids with cancer patients) and I'm seriously considering becoming the finance head for the kytheweek. Besides that, I also joined Ateneo Red Cross Youth. Two weeks ago, I was tempted to join UNICEF (I really want to help children, especially after my immersion). Etc. Etc. Darn!!! I'm really killing myself! I should stop this. There's no use joining so many extra-curricular activities and not being able to focus on all of them. Prioritize, Anna!!!Going back to joining blue rep: can I sing? hahaha I'm kidding myself. But let me see how my two other friends, Elaine and Luan, would handle this. In the first place, they were the ones who actually suggested joining blue rep. If they're auditioning, I am. hehehe If they are not, let me think about auditioning. It's more fun to do something with your friends. It's more productive.I really feel like doing something I wacky. I need a laugh. When I look back 20, 30 years from now, I want to be able to laugh at myself. hehehe

MMDA
does anybody know what MMDA mean? is it metro manila development authority? did i get it right?anways, it has been almost a month since the MMDA closed Ateneo's gate 3 (for pedestrians) by barricading the islands with tough pink fences. though i find that the MMDA has the best interest of the katipunan traffic in mind, do they have the best interest of the pedestians in mind?as a pedestrian, i find the closing off of gate 3 one of the largest hassles i've ever had my entire life. so, if you were to ask me if MMDA, as a government institution, has served the public better by enforcing the u-turn slots and thus, changing the traffic flows, my answer would be NO! and a BIG NO it would be. i am a pedestrian. the MMDA has not been of service to me. now, i have to walk to McDo to be able to cross the street. is it practical? not for me. if it takes me 10 minutes to go to school before, now it takes me 30. practical? no again. the MMDA has not been of service to the public. i am the public. i am not the entirerity(?) of the public but i am part of the public and as such, the MMDA should be of service to me and my fellow pedestrians.

Walking
while i was walking home - taking the long route MMDA proposed for pedestrians like me, a funny subject entered my mind. it was the subject of love. have you ever been in love? have you ever loved somebody? have you ever been loved?theology 131 has taught me to define love as the will to exert oneself for the spiritual growth another. my philosophy subjects has taught me that unconditional loving is participating in the subjectivity of the other. from here, therefore, i find love as a becoming - it is that which makes me and the person i love a better person. so, if i say that i love this particular person but then i end up ruining myself, then it isn't love at all. love is directed to higher values. love does not ruin people, love builds them up.there are so many people in the world who believe in soulmates. is this practical? i'm not saying that eventually finding your soulmate is impossible. there is such a thing as finding your soulmates. but is this practical? what i learned from theo is that when you marry a person, you don't marry him/her because he/she is your soulmate but because you are willing to make him/her your soulmate. love is a will, as i've said earlier. loving, therefore, is willful. it isn't easy. it takes responsibility and of course, freedom.like me, i know there are so many people out there who have thought about love over and over again... really, love is such a wonderful thing to think about. but more than that, love is more wonderful when it is shared!

"love each other or perish" - Auden

I miss stage plays. I miss watching one. I miss being in one.

Yesterday night, me and a couple of friends watched Pinnochio (musical) at Greenbelt. It was fun. Made just for kids. I am a kid. I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed Mr. Cat (meow!).

This is so sad... I really miss the old times - when Ms. Licas would host auditions for stage plays. More often than not, I was in Ms. Licas's plays. I loved being in plays. I love stage acting. I love memorizing my lines and then acting it out. I don't remember why I stopped acting though.

Today, there are auditions for Wizard of Oz. I'm so excited for them.

If I can find the time, I'll watch Wizard of Oz. I'm watching Baby on Sept. 4!!! I'm contemplating on watching Midsummer Nights Dream.

Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.

Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.

Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.

Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

this is what works...

i have a finance long test on monday. given that, guess what i'm doing now? studying? nope. i'm playing neopets, adding entries on my online journal, checking my mail, rechecking my mail, downloading movie trailers, viewing movie trailers (anything goes, actually, except for studying finance). why? because i want to feel guilty.

later, when i feel guilty enough for not studying finance (i'm wasting my parents' money, i'm being so irresponsible, bad grades and how it's gonna reflect on me as a person, etc.), i'm going to open my finance book and notes and start studying. it works. it really does. try it.

i had my immersion last weekend. it was at an orphanage in antipolo. since the orphanage, during my visit, only had 6 children (for the meantime), each of us (me and 5 groupmates) were assigned one child each. so, for 3 days and 2 nights i had a baby. his name was aaron. i was in-charged of feeding him, letting him taking a bath, dressing him up, putting him to sleep, playing with him, studying (he just started school) with him, and fixing his formula and checking his diapers late at night (he's four years old).

after my experience at the orphanage, sometimes it makes me wonder how my mom survived raising three children. i think i have a super mom!

Mathematicians shows why u should not study..

Why I am not studying???
Because :

No Study = Fail ....................... ( I )

Study = No Fail ............................ ( II )

By Combining ( I ) & ( II ) :

=====> ( No Study + Study ) = ( No Fail + Fail )

By Taking ( Study ) as a common factor in the left hand side
And Taking ( Fail ) as a common factor in the right hand side

=====> Study ( No + 1) = Fail (No + 1 )

By Dividing both sides by ( No + 1)

=====> Study = Fail

SO I ADVISE YOU TO STOP STUDYING

i have so many things to finish but guess what!!!, my fingers are fitting comfortably on my keyboard keys and i'm typing my woes away...

i'm so confused... i don't know about what i'm so confused about... probably with my lessons (i swear i'm really having a hard time fitting in what i'm learning in philo right now with my normal everyday life... i'm so confused... i'll go ask mr. teacher questions to help me understand the lesson better later... when the typhoon's done hitting on the philippines...arg!!! those poor people... see! dratty loggers... see the consequences of your actions!!!)... or maybe i'm confused with regards to my life... social life, academic life (forever confusing), love life, life oh life oh life du-du-dut-du...

am i the only person feeling this?
