Yup. You read it right, my precious and high tech 5110 got lost.Pano na yun? May cam pa naman and video calling yun, may hello garci ringtone pa! Ahehe.Joke!

Kaasar talaga. Yun na nga lang ang natatangi kong kayaman bukod sa microrecorder ko, tapos nawala pa. Naglaho na sya.

Ah, ganun talaga ang buhay. Mamimiss ko ang mga messages na inipon ko. Lalo na yung mga galing prends ko. Lintek talaga.

Kailangan ko na ng bagong cel.Kasi naman wala pa kong bag! Kailangan ko na rin ng bag! Kailangan kong magbayad ng mga utang ko! Hoy, Science of the Mind at Inquirer, asan na ang allowances ko???

Mag-iingat na talaga ako. Baka pati ang ATM card ko na P96 lang ang laman mawala ko pa. Pinaringgan na naman tuloy ako ng daddy ko.

Kailangan ko ng work! Pero ayoko sa Greenwich (joke lang Seph)!:P

Maraming nangyari last week, saka na lang ako magkwekwento.Meanwhile maghahanap muna ako ng pager.

7. why do we need to love?
>>> because we also want to be loved in return. it's the way of life.

8. Being single or being taken?
>>> there's no right nor wrong choice here.

9. What's so nice in being single?
>>> You get to do a lot of things without the hazards of a romantic commitment.

10. Why do you think people find it hard to tell the one they love that they love them?

Abangan ang anniversary month edition ng silverbolt!yun lang.

Two weeks have passed since the start of the school year but I still feel lazy to get serious with academics. I haven’t done any fervent academic activity except reciting, defining terms, and debating in class---which I consider as hobbies. (That explains why I’m always dubbed as “bibo” or why class participation is my favorite criterion in the breakdown of grades) So with no further ado, I have prepared a list of the things I’m planning to do this semester, just because I wanted to pose as an organized and hygienic Cro-Magnon in front of you civilized people.

1. Needs first, luxuries later

If you’ve notice why I don’t have a bag, that’s because I don’t have a bag. Hehe. And to think that I saved money for the latest issue of New Avengers and House of M, that really sucks. After hours of pondering inside my room, I realized that I have a lot of things to buy other than comicbooks: a belt, shaving blade, shampoo, facial wash, new shirts and shorts. I also need money for photocopies, SLR film, batteries, microtapes and 1x1 photos. Also, I’ve finally learned that I couldn’t install Adobe programs at the PC I’m using at my aunt’s computer shop. I need a computer.

2. Save and earn money.

3. Focus on studying.

Yvonne Chua’s J121. ‘Nuff said.

Aside from that dreary thought, I think the best way to focus on my studies is to enjoy it. Actually, I’m really excited with the courses I’m enrolled this semester especially Photojournalism, Advertising, and Feature-writing.

4. Pseudo-Inactive Status in UJP and Greenminds.

I’ve made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t want to be primarily involved with UJP and just work in the background—doing smaller but helpful things like moderating the website. But what has happened? I still got involved with the Union’s decisions, thanks to my hobby (see first paragraph). The IP Comm head said that I’d be playing a big role in whatever we’d be talking about tomorrow and the Chair asked me to write a letter stating the org’s position on the NTC press release issue, which I couldn’t do because I didn’t have time for it.

I’ll still help but it won't be a major help. The only reason I’m still staying is that I love the people. But having a pseudo-break isn’t bad. There are like 35 of us. The only problem I see is that we either don’t trust them in doing assignments or we don’t see what they could do for the org.

As for Greenminds, I’d still be helping just like in UJP. But the best reason I may not play a bigger role in here is that I wanted to feel like a follower again.

5. Try new things.

What do they say about it? Variety is the spice of life. I want to try new things I haven’t done before. And so far, I’ve managed to pass the auditions for aspiring djs in DZUP 1602. I already have a regular program there: GA! (Get Ahead!) , a show showcasing orgs, councils , their advocacies and events heard every Thursday 4-5 pm. I’m also a talent so probably you could hear me there from time to time.

After that dj auditions, I’ll also be going through some auditions and exams in orgs quite different from my two previous orgs. Actually, bukas yung isa. I hope I’d make it.

I’ll also be writing a five-page comicbook to be produced at the end of the semester. My fine arts friend Tin would help me out on this. Sana bumili kayo.

Etcetera this sem.

My 20th birthday.(I want it to become something special.:))
Markyboi (aka Seph)’s streetdance concert. (Sana meron. Na-eexcite ako.)
Jaypee’s debut this October. (Haha, Mag-cotillon ba?)
Inquirer Scholarship. (I’m really hoping kaming lima na yun After all the hassle of taking personality tests and bringing our stool. Tapos may IQ test pa sa Tuesday. )

Isang linggo ko nang kinukulit si Smiling Girl. Pero kahapon, ito ang napagtanto ko, hindi pwede. Hindi ibigsabihin na hindi sya girlfriend material para sa akin, dahil talagang maganda, mabait at matalino sya. Hindi pa pwede dahil hindi pa talaga ako handa sa commitment, marami pa akong insecurities at dapat baguhin bago pumasok sa isang relasyon, at bago pa mahulog rin ang loob nya sa akin at gawing excuse ulit ang sex sa takot kong makipag-commit, titigil na ko.

Pero ang gumugulo sa isip ko---kelan nga ba ako magiging handa? May trauma na yata ako sa mga relasyong di ko alam kung may patutunguhan.

It seems that my blog is really evolving into a diary nowadays. (But isn’t a weblog an online journal? Well, No. The first weblog wasn’t actually “diary-ish” but rather political - pseudoscient jerry) And to continue the fall of this site into the conventional abyss, I would like to talk about what happened in this wonderful day.

It all started at my home. It was about 15 minutes before 9 am, my head was still aching due to reasons unknown to me. The only thing that I knew at that time was that I adjusted my cellphone alarm clock thrice in the same day and that I had to report at the Inquirer office at 10.

So what happened next? I went inside the bathroom, took off my clothes, and…Hey, do I really have to tell what I did next? Moralists might censor my site. Joke!

While preparing to leave, my dad gave me his dose of silence. I knew that he’d like to wish me luck to whatever test Inquirer made for us. How did I know about it? I used my telepathy, dammit! :)

It was 9:15 am when I left our house in Guadalupe Nuevo. The Inquirer office is located just in my own freakin’ city so there’s no way I was going to be late! If that happened, ang laki ko namang tanga.

When I got there, Isagani Yambot’s secretary told me that there were five, not four as I previously had written here, got chosen as finalists for the scholarship: Eliza, Erika, Shatzie, Bernie, and me. She brought me to the Human Resources Department. From there, I kept wondering why there were pretty girls in the HR Dept.

There, I was joined by the others except Bernie who was just contacted that morning. We filled up the application form, and answered three personality tests and a personality profile questionnaire. Kristie (I’m not sure of her spelling) told us to come back for the the physical exam. As we went out for lunch, the girls and I had this somewhat disturbing conversation.

Girl 1: Mag- phyphysical exams? Meron ako ngayon.
Jerry: Anong meron ka ngayon?
Girls:
Jerry: Ahhh…Bakit kailangan bang maghubad?
Girl 1: Alam ko, maghuhubad. Ganun di ba physical exam sa UP?
Jerry: Sheesh. Pano ‘yan, maliit yung ano ko ngayon.

When we went back at the office, we were joined Bernie and told by HR cutie that we should bring our stool sample for physical exam at a certain MediCare clinic. She gave us letters asking MediCare to also conduct a drug test.

Well after that I went nuts. Because it is a common knowledge that I’m a drug addict. Just joking! Hey, I didn’t get a medal in D.A.R.E. (that’s Drug Abuse Resistance Education for you kiddos) for nothing.

After that I went home. And for the first time cried over an episode of a cartoon. It was Naruto. I had been watching this anime for months now mainly because I could relate to the main character. But the episode today just really blew me out. It was about Negi, a powerful kid from a poweful clan in the Leaf Country. But he happens to be in the branch family, destined to be puppets of the mainstream family. Because of what happened to his dad, he had this philosophy that all everything that happens is destined and there’s nothing we could do about it. Naruto pointed how weak he was that he always blame fate for his sorry state. He added that there were things we were born it, situations that were already there and might seem hopeless to do something about, but the person could still choose his destiny. Wala lang. Just check it out. Cool anime.

When I got home from UP, my brother told me that Inquirer called to tell me to report at their office tomorrow. Erika, another finalist for that scholarship, said that PDI has chosen four out of the 10 candidates who'd take a panel interview, an IQ test, a physical exam and a psychological test. Yesterday, Eliza texted me that she was also contacted.

This Inquirer thing wasn’t really one of my aims a few months back. But looking at the lab fees written on my form 5 and hearing from graduates that a UP diploma doesn’t guarantee you a job, let's just say, I realized that I badly needed need it.

So my friends, I would like to ask you to pray for me. Please. (I so feel like a pope here:P )
