How does it feel to be screamed at the top (or nearly) of somebody else's lungs?
- It feels great! At the least, this is what I expected to receive even before stepping inside the classroom.
For now, I am glad someone recognized how stupid I am.
I am entering ground zero with nothing but guts(and a bit of luck). But (and surely) it seems it wasn't enough.
I am fully aware that we are about to meet "gods" in that place called "hell". We've been warned about it years ago. (I can imagine my former "master" with his pronouncement: "I told you so".) So far, in my second week of classes, there's just one of those gods (errr, or just an apostle maybe). I am not afraid of these gods as long as I know that I have the weapons to neutralize them. Unfortunately,I am very far from reaching those high-powered weapons, only able to bring with me a stick which can barely scratch their gold-plated armors.
So, my first encounter (or should I say "reunion") with a god turned out to be a repeat of my very first actual meeting with such years back. It's obvious that I am not fully prepared for that. I only brought a moist matchstick with me: capable of bringing out sparks but failed to light the grand fire. At the end of the day, I'm worn out of the clash, not realizing that this is just the "initial conflict" of the story.
I am here to build my confidence (which I definitely lack). With this and much knowledge, I will get back to that battlefield and definitely ring the signal to counter-attack.

Memorize not Understand?
So, despite the confusion three years ago:
http://baliwantunaan.blogspot.com/2009/09/changes-posted-in-fs-blog-may-15-2007.html
Here I am now - Threading the path I once thought of doesn't belong to me. To date, I am still unsure about this. Knowing that I have somehow degraded myself from a lot of activities other than mind-enriching ones(I guess reading manga counts as an exception, but work, yes), I continued walking the path of carnage. The outcome: a weaker me. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that I have lost my ability to quickly grasp things and memorize concepts. (one of the few I can be proud of... before) A good memory is what I need at present. I know it is always essential in studying, although a College Professor insisted before the need to "Analyze and not Memorize". Being his follower (and also 'coz I quite believe in the same), that quote has become a guide in my succeeding classes.
Here comes the "actual" experience. Upon my first step on ground zero, another master in the field made an opposite argument.
"Memorize, not understand".
This could mean literally, or it simply implies to give more priority in memorizing rather than understanding. Well, we all look at the same thing differently (I'm beginning to use this phrase quite often). It depends upon our interpretation, whether this will be construed strictly against us or liberally in favor of the other. [What the hell am I talking about?]
It's a long way to go. I could be derailed from this track, who knows? Might be voluntary or forcibly, whatever happens, I am bound to accept. But for the meantime, I'll persevere to keep in this track until that day comes [or does not come/ Here we go again, stipulating a resolutory condition].
Almost forgot what I need right now.
Read,read and read. Then memorize.
Capacity's running out, maybe I need a new hard drive.

Pambihira!!!
Nakakahighblood ang mga balita ngayon. Talaga naman.
At minsan pa'y nagkaroon na naman ng Secretary of INJUSTICE!!!
Iba na talaga kapag tuta. Tsk tsk. Kabaligtaran kayo ni Hachiko! (pa-plug. ^_^ please do watch Hatchiko: A dog story. Just browse the net or look for your suking SM :D)
Ahmm, di pala, pareho pala sila in one way: LOYAL sa amo.
When does loyalty become a bad thing? - When it causes great harm and suffering to the common good.
At sa pinakahuling binitiwang pahayag ng mamang ewan, dapat lang siguro na mag-bukas na ng entablado para sa isang madugong labanan para sa katarungan. Patuloy na lang ba tayong aasang mabibigay ang Katarungan sa lahat kung ang mismong kamay na naglalapat nito ay ang kabaligtaran ang ginagawa?
Susmaryosep!!!
Tama na ang pang-AAGRAbyado!!! Akala mo kung sinong magaling. Kwestyonable na nga ang posisyon. Nabigyan lang ng konting "kapangyarihan" akala mo na kung sino umasta. Ganito na ba talaga ang mga tagapagtanggol ng katarungan?
Epic Fail!!!

Way To Go!
OG OT YAW! WAY TO GO rather :D
These words weren't simply an inscription in the (Graduation) Cake. It means a lot, for her at least.
---{[Here I go again, speaking/writing out on behalf of others, well, this has been a sickness of mine since birth. Pardon me if I've been too noisy around here. Anyways, you won't hear anything from me in person about topics like these. As much as I like, I want to make this from the First Person point of view. Knowing "a bit" of you, I don't think you'll entertain the idea of creating posts like these nowadays. Unfortunately, it seems that this will end up as another self-centered post. And for that, I am requesting for your utmost tolerance and kind understanding.]}
You finally had that momentous march (I think you've been so longing for). It has been a long trip, but we're not done yet. Just a few steps away, you'll achieve the other milestone you so desire. I'm pretty sure you'll bet everything you've got for that goal. In less than a year, you could have earned your second and more fulfilling college degree, the one that will to lead you to brighter opportunities.
Nothing else could be more fulfilling for parents to see their children walking down the aisle, heading towards the stage to receive their hard-earned diploma. That is a moment when parents can't be any prouder for their daughters. Talking about reaping the fruits of all the hard work. That definitely was a walk to remember.
I have always believed in you. You're much better than me, I know you are (not much of a comparison, it's just that I want to show you how GOOD you are.. [[am I too defensive?:D Argh! Will I ever make a serious post here?]]) You're even better at me at this: writing/posting (which I consider as my only talent(???)) You've got a lot of good points. Hmmm, maybe there were just times that you lack motivation. Just look around (and on your phone), and you'll find that you're surrounded. You've got an overwhelming source of motivation and love. No need for other considerations (Appearance Fees and the like... Am I over the limit?:Pv )
Keep moving forward. They're just beside you along the way.
Nothing else to say......
"Congratulations!!! I'm so proud of you! You did it!" I never mentioned it once right? :D
Feel free to disturb me anytime. My lines are always open. I am your family's adopted relative after all. :D:D:D:D
Still a long way to go. Let's meet at the end of the road.

Weekender
Speaking about the best weekends... I just had one.
My first time in Bicolandia!
Seeing with my own eyes the once perfect cone...
Bearing witness to a special child's rather a special friend's remarkable moment...
Definitely one of the best!
Calendar Marked!

Ang linaw linaw na bagay pinapalabo...
Hay! Kainaman naman na! Bakit ganoon? Ang ganda ganda ng paliwanag hindi pa agad nakuha ang ibig sabihin! Naturingan pa naman silang mga "eksperto" sa ganoong usapin.
Oo, siguro nga iba't -iba ang pang-unawa nga mga tao sa isang bagay. Tinitingnan natin ang isang bagay at binigyan ng magkakaibang kahulugan. Ang mga interpretasyon natin ang magtatalo, ang magpapanglaban. Matapos man ang usaping ito, may manalo man o matalo, mananatili pa din ang naggigiriang mga opinyon hinggil dito.
Nirerespeto naman namin ang inyong desisyon. Syempre, kayo ang otoridad, nasa inyo ang kapangyarihan at ang huling sabi. Pero sana man lang, bigyan niyo ng pagkakataon ang karamihan na ipaabot ang kanilang pananaw. Madami kaming nangangailangan ng "katotohanan, tama at makatarungang desisyon. Wag nyo ng palabuin ang isang bagay na maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw.
1987 Philippine Constitution : Article VII, Section 15.
Two months immediately before the next presidential elections and up to the end of his term, a President or Acting President shall not make appointments, except temporary appointments to executive positions when continued vacancies therein will prejudice public service or endanger public safety."
Malinaw na nakasaad sa Konstitusyon na HINDI MAAARING MAGTALAGA sa kahit anong posisyon ang Pangulo dalawang buwan bago ang susunod na halalan. Walang nabanggit na hindi nasasakop ng pagbabawal na ito ang pagtatalaga sa Hudikatura. "Expressio unius est exclusio alterius" - The expression of one thing is the exclusion of another. Mismong ang mga taong nasa likod na ng pagsusulat ng kasalukuyang konstitusyon ang nagpatunay na walang malabong kahulugan ang nasabing probisyon. Ang Korte Suprema na din mismo ang nagpatunay nito sa isang nakaraang desisyon noong kapanahunan ni Pangulong Ramos. Bakit nila babaligtarin ang nakaraan nilang desisyon? May nakita ba silang mali dito?
Sa pinakahuling desisyon ng Korte Suprema, pinagtibay nila na maaaring magtalaga ang Pangulo ng kapalit ng magreretirong Punong Hukom, bagaman nasasakop na ito ng constitutional ban. Isang midnight appointment na nag-aambang maghudyat ng pagkagapi ng katarungan at pagtatakip ng mga bahid ng mga korupsyon sa gobyerno. Wag nating hayaang habambuhay na lang tayong magbubulag bulagan sa katotohanan. Wag nating hayaang tanggalan tayo ng karapatang magmatyag at idulog ang "katarungan" sa mga taong nararapat lamang na makatanggap nito. May magagawa tayo. Di na tayo magpapasiil.
Hayaan nating mangibabaw ang katotohanan at ang nararapat.
