Hello School for 2012

Klase na ugma? Dali-a sa panahon oi... christmas vacation.. extend pls. (my recent facebook status)

I almost didn't care that my mom kept on prompting me to sleep coz there will be classes tomorrow and now, I'm still blogging. Anyway, after this blog, you might rarely see me post.

Okay let me describe the day before the first day of school of a new year. Mostly, it is the high time of the procrastinators because students are too lazy during Christmas vacation. There may be the time that you thought of reading your notes but after a while you'll get the mood to sleep. You may get the "baboy" personality (lying down after eating then sleep) during holidays.

I just improved this year. (Ayee, sunod na dayon ang new year's resolution o..may lang ba kaha sa sugod?) I haven't crammed too much today because I finished some of my exercises in Statistics and I already studied Cytogenetics for the exam this Wednesday. Honestly, I crammed on transferring the project in Statistics to MS Word for easy printing.. (The project is all about organization and presentation of data. If you've taken stats already, it's like you'll gonna make a frequency distribution out of the data given then you'll make some graphs (bar graphs, histogram, frequency polygon, line graphs and etc. We were tasked to make them tru MS Excel and it's by group. Hahay, I made most of the project and it's so hassle. This is the only chance that I'll complain a bit. I don't want to complain in front of my groupmates. Well, I should task them to print the hard copy! It would be so unfair if I'll be the one to do that!)

Okay today, it's my first in 2012 to go to Ayala from the signing of papers regarding my sister's investments. I decided to go to National bookstore to buy a new ballpen. As I went there, I saw some of the stabilo highlighters and I remembered that most of my highlighters didn't work anymore or almost out of ink. Then here I go, for the new year, I bought new swing cool highlighters with colors blue, pink, orange and violet. For I'm a visually inclined person, I cannot study if my hand outs or notes are plain. I want them to be colorful so that they'll stick to the temporal lobe (site of memory in the brain) easily. I chose swing cool coz it's not so big like the ordinary stabilo which consumes a lot of space in my kit and if I'll be too lazy to place them back to my kit, they can be placed in my pocket if I want.

As I went back home from ayala, I glanced through my planner. Planner? Oh, it's just a humble planner. Instead of consuming lots of cafffeine and spending a total of almost 3k for earning stickers just for Starbucks planner, I made my own. What's the use of spending too much money if I have my own creativity? Char... Well, Last month (of year 2011), as I went to Gaisano tabunok to buy some stuffs... I saw a scratch pad worth 2 pesos and I took a look at it. There came a creative plan. I wrapped it in blue and designed it with a ribbon and that's it! I have my planner! What are placed in my planners are just tasks for everyday. As I got my new highlighters, there came an idea to make each page colorful. Instead of check marks for accomplishment, I'd rather place a colorful mark to inspire me to accomplish every task. It may last not only in 2012.. it could last on the next year.

Okay tomorrow, the first period will be.. SPANISH.. Hola español! Hahahah.. Okay, I'd rather sleep now after preparing my stuffs..

Anyway, here's my screenshot of the blogger app on my iphone. I might post a blog in school..

About the new header

Do the pave the way for 2012, I just made my new blogger header. If you notice, there are Spanish words above and below. I was just inspired by my Spanish class. Before 2011 ended, I memorized some verbs in Spanish that have different conjugations. (Verbs in spanish are harder to conjugate than in English. In English, the form of the verb doesn't change if the subject changes from first person to second person and etc. , In Spanish, you need to memorize how the endings are changed in every conjugation plus not just that, there are still other irregular verbs which have different way of conjugating.

Okay, let this post explain what's in the header..

Me llamo Franz- Call me Franz.

hola mis amigos y mis amigas- Hello Friends (boys and girls)

dos mil doce- two thousand twelve

2012 - New Beginning, New Hope, New Dreams

This song was released around 2010. It mentioned 2012 and now it's 2012! There are rumors that the Mayan Calendar predicted that this would be the last year and "the end of the world" is on December 21. But I don't really believe in that. No one can dictate the future. It is only God. I believe that God is not a type who cuts the humankind's journey immediately.

Okay, I know that this is obviously my first post of 2012. It is the new beginning, new hope and new dreams. It is the new beginning because obviously it is still fresh. It just started an hour ago. It is the new hope because as I've said everything is still fresh so we can still aim to make things better than the previous year. It is the new dream because aside from making things better, we can make our new dreams and do everything to fulfill them.

I just had an awesome way of approaching 2012. I started my year hugging my mom, we're the only two of us here. Anyway, she could be the representative for the rest of the members of my family who aren't here like Ate Georgia and Daddy. I made noise with my humble torotot. Of course, I was too terrified because of the firecrackers of our neighbors. We minimized in opening our doors because the "kwitis" might get inside our house and it may cause another trouble.. And oh, my poor mimings (kittens)... They were terrified too. They just spend their new year here, inside our house hiding :)).. Also, the bam-i, macaroni salad and the fruit salad with grahams made by my mom was so yummy. You might thought that I became fat now.. Oh, I'm sorry, my figure has its own control mechanism and my metabolism is too rapid. I don't get fat easily.

I am looking forward for lots of awesome things to come on 2012. I now that this year, I will experience the toughest part of my college life (third year). What I'll do is just, I'll enjoy the remaining months as a sophomore. And oh, I hope, I'll get my passport and the thailand/singapore vacation will really continue. I hope that there will be no complications in my mother's passport.. I really really dream of an unforgettable and remarkable vacation before third year.

Okay,, I hope that this year will be prosperous for everyone too. Feng shui, superstitions, lihi and etc. doesn't really matter too much after all. Well, the fate is really up on what a person do and faith..

*** ps.. I just downloaded a blogger app for iphone. I can update my blog in school or any other wi-fi areas

Goodbye 2011

It's only about 5 hours away to 2012. I am really really thankful to God for giving me another year. I'm looking forward for more awesome things to come on 2012.

I would really like to express my gratitude to my family. They played the largest role in my 2011. I will really sacrifice everything just for them. Mommy, I admit that sometimes I get annoyed that you treated me like a baby. But mommy, I really love it. I am indeed blessed to have a mom like you. I do promise that I will pay you back in all your sacrifices to me someday. Someday, I will be the one to make you happy. Ate Georgia, I really miss you especially during holidays. I miss the times when we've made all the noises in this house during Christmas and New Year. Ate, someday I'll prove to you that all your sacrifices are worth. All my endeavors in school are all for you. Kuya Harley, thank you for taking care of my ate Georgia, I'm wishing you all the best. Daddy, I just want to let you know that I still love you. Honestly, I get excited in seeing you every month. I love it when you share your chikas to me even in a few minutes. I also love it when you give me some treat everytime we see each other.

(This is my last post for 2011... Those people mentioned summarized everything for 2011. What's yours? Stay tuned for the next posts on 2012)

10 Realizations of 2011

1. It is not really easy to forget the "must-forget" events in the past. There are some instances that I could remember them.

2. I should not jump directly to conclusions. It is better to think and analyze before I'll burst out some words from my mouth.

(eg. I said, I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE... still, after I said that statement, I still did it and did it all over and over again..

3. There are people that I thought as significant in the first look but they're having an important role in my life right now.

4. Forgiveness is a refreshing feeling. It serves as a catalyst for a friendship to be stronger than ever.

5. Adrenaline rush is not just a physiological event in my body for emergencies. Well, it happens on random times. It is not just portrayed by my epinephrine but also DETERMINATION.

6. Change cannot really be resisted. It is really sad if a person changes from good to worse.

7. There is really a right time for everything. I cannot dictate my future. It's in the will of God.

8. There are many ways to express my faith. I should not limit myself on Sundays.I can do it in any instance of my life.

9. Distance doesn't really matter for me. Though I'm faraway from my other loved ones, in my heart, they are still near me.

10. Someday, I will change the world and make it better and remember my name..

Multiply Account

Lo and behold!

Just to let you know that my multiply account is still alive... yes.. If you are interested to my past life, you can browse there. Though only few users are active, I still reactivated it for some purposes. I'm really really thankful to my multiply account because that was my back-up when I used friendster before. Now, the true friendster is really gone. From social networking site, it turned into games site just to give way to facebook. I cannot access to my friendster photos anymore and now I'm using my laptop BUT I can still access them because of Multiply.

I think multiply will not be like friendster I guess. Now, multiply focuses on business but my photos are still there hahaha. Starting today, I'll update it with my new photos. What if facebook might be gone someday. I'm sorry that I might not be like before nga naning magbutang ug captions. As you know, I was still in high school and there may be times that I'll be carefree in the virtual world. Busy jud ang college hahaha, Christmas break pa gani, naa pay statistics nga gi-atiman :)) The important thing is that I updated it..

If you want to keep in touch to my facebook, you can email me personally :) You can access through my twitter (Just refer to the left side of my blog... Twitter updates) and follow me.. :))

Soy Siento

Soy Siento..

I am sorry..

I noticed in my archives that 2011 has the LEAST number of posts. I'm just reminding you that this blog is still alive and kicking. I am just sorry because I've been busy in my college life. It doesn't mean just because I didn't updated this as much as the previous years, this blog is already inactive.

This blog is one of my life's precious possessions. Mark my word, when I'll be professional someday, this blog will still be alive. If ate georgia has her lgeorgia.com, then I have my blog. If Irene Carmel Rodriguez has her tumblr (well, she just made a new blogspot recently), then I have my blog. If Janelle Navarro (a college friend of mine) has her sketchpad (she made it as her diary), then I have my blog.

I want that in the future, my children will read this blog and they'll have a clue on what I am today. Ergo, I'll try my best to update this.

Yeah right, I'll tell you in advance, I might post more rarely next year because I'll be on my real battlefield.
