Pre-Valentine Events...

It was pretty much a hectic day with work in banyan tree and lots of homework for me. But, i still found the time to kind of slow down a little bit and think. As usual, i woke up a little bit late than i am supposed to wake up. It was friday and there was just a tons to do. actually, i supposed to make a comment for my political science class' online discussion yesterday but i forgot. so, i grab the last minute and posted my comment before the class started. holy cow! am so bad with keeping up with time. i need to work on with that. anyways, next subject was church history. lucky its friday! we dont have class on fridays for that subject. so, i went back to my room and worked on my note cards (for my research paper) for english 315 class which was later in the afternoon. I had to look for scholarly sources whatever it is about my topic - Poetry in Philippine Literature. OMG! i really had a hard time looking for sources because there were not enough books about my topic in the library (or am just lazy to search for one.. hehe). I mean, there's a lot about Philippine Literature in general but less than my research topic. So, come what may.. haha.. but yeah, bottom line, i was able to figure out something.. wanna know what? make a comment on this blog first.. hahah... i did approximately two hours doing my note cards. Two hours because i did not have class after my church history subject due to my first exam for business management 242 (law and ethics) which i supposed to take during the class hour; but, our professor gave us the choice to take it whenever we choose to prior saturday in the testing center. good thing i did not have classes for those two subjects or else i end up getting crazy... that is why slowing down and thinking helps a lot..

Moreover, my statistics class was a little bit lax. we did not have a quiz or anything like that but a boring discussion. I really agree that our professor Dr. Hyde is a brilliant teacher but then i just cant clearly absorb his teachings. I learn from him as long as i really put all of my focus and attention to what he is saying. Thats quiet a challenge for me because i think i have attention deficit disorder... LOL.. i just can not concentrate well on anything especially if we talk about numbers.. well, i guess it depends when am inspired or not... haha... right after the class ended, i went back to my room again and polished my note cards. i had an hour to do that before my last class for the day which is English 315. Dr. Han our professor was a bit meticulous about our note cards. He definitely was not treating us like a fresh high school grad but a college student. He is Taiwanese that's why he has a bit of accent when he speaks but it does not really matter. He is probably the best of what he does. Aside from his being asian, he teaches in an American University with a subject beyond his language. Pretty impressive huh?.. well, to cut it short, i was able to turn-in my note cards and he told me to add some more... gosh! i need to work harder.. haha... i had quiet a long time before i could finally call it a day due to my homework. Even though i finished my classes, i still had to study for my law and ethics exam and attend a group meeting for our business plan competition entry. I studied at the library for about more than an hour before i took the exam. Sad to say, due to cramming, i did not get the grade i desired. Anyways, i just then went to the caf and ate my dinner. While waiting for the clock to struck at 9 pm, i went back to my room and took a couple of time to rest - again, slowing down and think.. hehe..

I enjoyed my time with my group mates. They are Bon Maala, Liahnne Baraquiel, Nathan Campbell, and GR Literatos. Were actually late with our business plan but were doing our best to finish it by monday. Heres a video clip i took while we were brainstorming right outside the library.. actually, just them.. i was resting(walang kokontra.. haha).. hahaha.. take a look!



Here are some pictures while they were intellectually having conversations.. naks naman! hehe.... Here are Bon, Liahnne, G.R., and Nathan sa pinaka malayu...







here goes my pre-valentine events.. hahaha.. not really sweet huh! hahah... mahalos for reading! hihi..

A Monday with David Archuleta

I never knew since the beginning of the day that a personality by the name of David Archuleta was coming to the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC). It was actually my day off from work and my roommate was the one who informed me that he was actually in the center and eating his dinner at Hale Aloha. He even described to me how he looks like. Haha.. he is actually shorter than I am and a lot thinner than the image we see on tv. I am not really a diehard fun of him but I like the kind of songs that he sings and in fact, we go to the same church. The melodies and lyrics of his pieces are just simply full of emotions and truth. I don’t know if he is the one writing his songs because I notice a touch of dogma in it.

David is really popular that even old people knows him. A lot of the customers and even employees took pictures with him. Good thing there was no security or else everyone wouldn’t have the opportunity to get near. I actually was able to have a picture with him. Take a look!



Some of my friends took a picture with him too! There's dara, zani, wendy, and ron at the back.



The visit of David would not be complete without him singing a song for us.. check this out!



There you go... a monday with david..

ALoha Friday: Meetings and a Game

Aloha Fridays are one of the best days within the week. Curfew is extended till 2 am the following day. Sometimes games and movies are scheduled around campus and you get to unwind and relax. The best part is hanging out with friends and go to chevron and eat. haha..

I woke up this morning a little bit late but i was able to manage and came to class on time. It was like 45 minutes before my first class starts. We had fun and Dr. Houghton as usual did his international relations lecture as interactive as possible. We discussed about states, nations, and countries.

It was not really a busy day because i did not have quizzes or anything like that. I was kind of excited to call it a day because i wanted to rest and sleep. i did not have sleep the other night due to my dialectic journal for history class. i was cramming all the way that is why i lack sleep and need to catch up with my body clock. after all my classes, i slept from 5 pm to 7:30 and found the energy that i needed to finish my day. We had a meeting at the library with my business plan competition team. Dad mario was there and the rest of us (Me, Poloy, Bon, Nathan, and Lianne). We had a wonderful meeting and dad explained to us everything about the business plan. We are looking forward to finish the Business Plan paper on the 17th of this month and turn it in online before the february 19th deadline. I have faith in our team and our business proposal that it will go through and we will make it to the top. We will again be meeting tomorrow at the library for our executive summary. We departed the meeting with a motivation that we can do it. Winning is possible with everyones help.

Since its aloha friday, we decided to hang out and just roam around whereever our feet would lead us. It would never be an aloha friday without doing anything fun. So, we decided to just walk and walk towards cheveron and buy something to eat. We really had fun! I was with JR, Nathan, and Liahnne. They are new students who just came this semester. Pablo also came and had fun with us. We had this new invented game by Nathan. i dont even know how we call it but it was interesting. Actually mind buggling. Its like you need to ask any kind of questions among each of the members in the group and you have to figure out whatever concept they are trying to say or show by their answers or body language. It was challenging because you need to think a lot and figure out the pattern as well as the concept behind what was being agreed upon in the group. It was really fun and all of us enjoyed it. We came back to our hales around 1:30 am already and took our rest.

Aloha fridays are always fun especially if you are with friends. Close friends... Close na daw kami? hahah.... see ya around!
