Rants. Inspirations. Xiance?

I should have presented this proposal last sunday in the officers’ meeting, if there was a meeting, but our family had already scheduled a summer outing that day.

This is actually an idea of our association’s president. I’m too lazy to edit the code that Google Docs gave me so please don’t mind the format. You can view a much better proposal here.

Proposed Activity:

1. Palarong Pambata

• Projected Date: May 9, 2010

• General Mechanics:

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.

For the past three nights, I’ve been busy coding our high school’s alumni association database. It is for us to easily track the active members, and their up-to-date contact infos. I’ve decided to host that database here at my site.

Obviously, this site uses wordpress for my ease. At first, I thought that I’ll make a new .php file for the database, but then, I realized that I need to put all those wordpress stuff like the theme, and all that things. That might be easy for some but I prefer to do an easier way. Also, the pages and posts made in wordpress are saved in a MySQL database and not in a php file.
