about this blog

Others want it hard, others semi-hard. A few have it poached from them. The rest wants the freakin’ cacophony of an omelette. As for me, I want it sunny side up – life, that is.

Gusto ko na mag MA/MS/MBA!

I’ve been thinking lately na dapat na ako mag MA soon. As in very soon. Lakas maka-bobo sa trabaho. Walang masyadong marubdubang pag-iisip na nagaganap. Puro ka-eklatan lang at administrative chenes na slightly nakakaburaot na.

Hindi baling maghigpit ako ng sinturon at hindi uminom sa starbucks, kumain sa anek-anek na mamahaling restaurant, at mag-party almost every weekend, basta makapag-aral ako ulit.

Na-miss ko rin yung feeling ng competition at mag-top sa exams. Na-miss ko na mag-cram sa pagrereview. Na-miss ko na umiwas sa mga on-the-spot report and recitation. At higit sa lahat, na-miss ko na magkaroon ng gwapong classmate! Choz!

Ang pinag-iisipan ko ngayon ay kung saan ako kukuha ng MA/MS/MBA.


1. UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

Syempre dahil dun naman ako nag-college, why not ituloy ko na di ba? Actually, yung friend ko nung college ay enrolled na sa MBA program at papasok na this June. Syempre nanggit ako ng bonggang-bongga. Magkasing-talino lang kaya kami ni friendship. Lamang lang sya ng kaunting GPA. Hahaha! At syempre, abot-kaya ang tuition dito. Mura pa ang pagkain.

The problem is, napakalayo ng Diliman. North to South na naman ang drama ko. Kaya nga hindi ako nag-Diliman nung college. Sa Manila ako. Besides, upon seeing the MBA program syllabus, parang andaming math. Witchelles. Muntikan na kaya ako magka-singko dahil sa pesteng math na yan.

But then again, merung UP Open University at promising ang DevComm program. Pero it defeats the purpose of me “going to school” again. Gusto ko ng madalas na classroom setting. Mas natututo ako. At gusto ko din yung interaction ng class. So, witchelles sa Open University.

2. ATENEO DE MANILA UNIVERSITY

Hindi na dapat pagusapan kung bakit gusto ko mag-aral dito. Gwapo ang mga boys, may kotse, mayaman, kabog ang apelido. San ka pa? Kaso nahihiya ako magtanong ng tuition fee sa MBA program.

“What’s the approximate amount per semester for your MBA program?”

“You can’t afford it.”

“Ah, right. You have a point. Thank you.”

3. DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY

Nung gumagawa ako ng thesis nung college last year three years ago, madalas ako sa library nila to look for boys read and photocopy books. Bibo kasi yung first research topic ko kaya wala sa ancient books ng UP. Ayun tuloy, nagpalit ako ng research topic kasi sobrang limited ang studies and books regarding my topic. Anyway, bet ko ang vibe ng school, feeling ko magugustuhan ko dun.

Comprehensive ang MA/MS program list ng La Salle, like sa UP. Parang menu lang sa fast-food. One of the programs I like, actually love pala, ay ang Marketing Communications.

Sa aking pag-compute, aabot ng 25k per sem ang La Salle (trisem na ata ang tatlong nabanggit na mga schools). Mabigat ito sa bulsa pero parang kaya naman.

Live long enough to find the right one

Wala akong masusulat na matino ngayon. Too many things on my mind.

Enjoy the video na lang. Sobrang natuwa ako nung nakita ko 'to two years ago :))

Sharam dara, sham dara!

Oo, totoo ito mga ateng. Napapakanta na naman ako ng Kapag Tumibok ang Puso ni Donna Cruz habang naglalakad sa kahabaan ng Ayala. At ito ay dahil na naman kay Facebook.




Damn you, FB!




Heniway, ma-kwento ko lang kung pano ko nakita ang nakapukaw sa aking pusong kay linis, busilak, at dalisay. Habang ginagawa ko ang aking daily round of stalking sa FB – specifically sa account ni Carrie at The McVie (hihi!) – I saw one guy na may hawig kay Boy Hapon. Yun lang mas gwapo sya. At medyo familiar ang picture nya.




Isip, isip, isip.




Buntong hininga.




San ko nga ba nakita ang picture nya?


TING!


Aha! Sa blog ata! Well, it makes sense. Friends nya ay mga bloggers.




Kung totoo ang hula ko, sya yung nosebleed na blogger na minsan ay may pagka-maldito. Sikat syang blogger so wit sa pag-post ng picture nya. Hahahahahaha!




My love, I swear you will be mine. Mine, oh, mine. My precious. Choz!



At dahil dyan, gwapong blogger na magiging boypren ko anytime soon, this song is for you. Hihi!

Lady Gaga - Judas

She really scares me sometimes...




JUDAS
Lady Gaga

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Judas! Juda-as Judas! Juda-as
Judas! Juda-as Judas!

[Verse 1]
When he comes to me, I am ready
I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain
Even after three times, he betrays me

I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown

[Chorus]

I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But still I'm in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But still I'm in love with Judas, baby

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Judas! Juda-as Judas! Juda-as
Judas! Juda-as Judas!

[Verse 2]
I couldn't love a man so purely
Even prophets forgave his crooked way
I've learned love is like a brick you can
Build a house or sink a dead body
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lady_gaga/judas.html ]
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown

[Chorus]
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But still I'm in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But still I'm in love with Judas, baby

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

[Bridge]
In the most Biblical sense,
I am beyond repentance
Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
But in the cultural sense
I just speak in future tense
Judas kiss me if offenced,
Or wear an ear condom next time

I wanna love you,
But something's pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue,
And Judas is the demon I cling to
I cling to

[Chorus]
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But still I'm in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But still I'm in love with Judas, baby

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Judas! Juda-as Judas! Juda-as
Judas! Juda-as Judas!
