Rants. Inspirations. Xiance?

Grabe, ang saya ng gabi namin noong Sabado! Ikalabingwalong kaarawan kasi ng isa sa mga CFC kids na si Jeanne, at tulad ng dati, kasama sa cotillon kaming iba pang CFC kids. Sa dulo, kami ay nagsayawan (aka party-party) at napansin kong kami ang pinakamaingay na grupo. Matagal-tagal din ang sayawan hanggang nagsimula nang magpahiran ng icing ng cake. Haha, napapangiti ako tuwing naaalala ko yun. XD

Teka, teka, sinu-sino ba ang mga CFC kids? Obviously, kami ang mga anak ng mga CFC members. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, halos magsasampung taon ko na silang kilala, at natutuwa akong nakilala ko sila. Pwede ko nang sabihing parang mga kapatid ko na rin yung mga yun. Sila ay sina Jeanne, Jekjek, Jessa, Nene, Isay, Edgar, Denok, Dale, Allen, Briana, Camille, at syempre ang Ate ko. Isasama ko na rin ang minsan-minsang sumasama samin na sina Kuya Richard, Kuya Raymond at Ate Hanna. At syempre, ang mga bago sa’min, at sana madalas pa naming makasama, na sina Andre at Anjelo.

Sana magkaroon ng part 2 ang nangyari nung Sabado. Jekjek, aabangan namin ang debut mo.

In the middle of all the exams and requirements, I’m still thinking about this. Haha. The alumni association was revived once again. It did not die actually. It just had a 50-50 state. This post is for the possible projects that I’m thinking. I just need to post somewhere for documentation purposes.

Plans:
1. Bank Account – This is covered last time in our meeting. We should already have chosen a bank for this. The plan is to have a joint account where two out of three signatories are needed to withdraw some money.

2. Receipts – We should have this at least for internal auditing purposes.

3. Raffles – We already have an existing raffle that is due for almost eight months already. We should already finish it.

I know I haven’t finished my post about my Romblon vacation, the Splash Island trip, the HB summer swimming, the DilNet application and many more, but I just need to post this short entry.

Last election, I supported Dick Gordon to be our country’s president. And when I said supported, I mean, like giving away flyers to motorists, holding a sign board containing Gordon’s achievements, and shouting at the streets to vote for him. Thanks to my friend, John Michael Manalo.

In my opinion, he’s a leader-in-the-making. He handled the temporary alumni association of our batch. He was once a president of the FEU boosters. He’s a very sociable(?) person. And most of his plans for the barkada always come in to work.

I’ve read smile, este ivy’s most recent blog post and decided to copy her and write my summer agenda here. I have already some summer goals since the Holy Week, and I’ll put it here for documentation purposes also. I said to myself around two months ago that I might have a productive summer if ever I’ve got accepted in IRC. But since I was rejected, I need to make it productive myself. So what are my plans? Here’s the list:

1. Develop a software. I’m thinking of making a mobile phone application that can control a computer via bluetooth. For this to work, I need to make two applications, one for the mobile phone and the other for the computer. I’ve decided to write the computer application in C, while the mobile application will be written in Java. I am already studying Java since last week and I’m having some difficulties with objective programming. Maybe I already need to implement some codes. I know that I may not finish it this summer (especially the GUI) but at least I want to make it work.

2. Study how PHP frameworks work. Since I’ve volunteered to be a part of Kasapi, another software brought to you by UnPLUG, I need to learn how to code efficiently using the frameworks. I’ve reviewed my code for the database of our alumni association, and I found it a bit messy. THAT needs some polishing!

That’s right! The past semester is my worst in all aspects of life, except for one (maybe). This post may be offensive(?) to others, so I’m warning you not to read this if you know me as a good person.

So what are my reasons for saying that it was my worst sem? See this list:

1. Lowest General Weighted Average (GWA)!! It may seem arrogant or “mahangin,” but my GWA, which I will not put here, is too low for my own standards. As usual, I’m pissed with myself because I know that I could have done better. But as we all know, “nasa huli ang pagsisisi.”

2. No Magna Cum Laude standing anymore. This is a reward for attaining the first thing in the list. Now, I just need to concentrate with my last two years to at least, graduate on time, not on time as in some time, but on time as scheduled.

So, this will be my first entry this summer about summer.

My mom is working in Dubai, UAE as an accountant, and one of her benefits in the company is the yearly vacation here in the Philippines. Making it short, she arrived last friday. The time is very short and we already have some plans in that 35-day vacation that she had.

The first is the family bonding moment of their Handmaids of the Lord (HOLD) group in Dubai. For a little background, my parents are active members of Couples For Christ (CFC), a religious organization, here, and she decided to join its branch, the HOLD in Dubai, which obviously caters the single women (either widowed, single parent, not with their husbands, and more, as long as they are single, literally).

Back to the story, their group, with most of them having their vacation here, has already planned this outing weeks ago, and I’ve just learned about it like two days before my mom arrived. My first impression was, “Ah.. Okay.” Nothing more, nothing less. Not that I’m not interested, it’s just that maybe because I don’t know them. And also, I’ve learned that my older sister is the oldest among their children, that gives me the impression that I’m also one of the oldest, and that the other kids are around 8 – 10 years old, and I somehow don’t like that scene. I dunno why.

But I’m such an optimistic person (really?). I just think that I’ll meet new friends, and I’ll meet my mom’s friends that makes her happy while she’s away from us.
