Having Fun While Having None - A Paradox No More

Thursday Noon, January 5, 2006

Hi! This blog post is another first for me! This is my first blog post written on a noon time! Grabe, ang init! It’s starting to get hot! Summer na naman! But the heat won’t stop me from writing this blog post! Eto at tuloy pa rin ako on sharing to you the things that transpired to me yesterday.

Having fun while having none… Impossible for other people… How could you have fun if you have none?! Some may think that it is a paradox… People who have less, let’s say less wealth / money or any luxury in life, may have not known of the word FUN. All they think of, maybe, are ways on how they could get out of their miserable lives… But let me tell you that having none could mean a lot of fun! In such a simple experience I had yesterday, let me prove to you that you could have FUN while having NONE!

I went to school yesterday for the second day of our classes. Me and my friends (Kath, Ginpao, Lester, Bmon, Steve) have five subjects to attend to every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays! hehehe… Classmates ko sila sa lahat ng subjects! hehehe… We, minus Bmon because he was late, attended our first subject (SNA1). Our professor came in and dismissed us early without even introducing herself! Syempre with more time left before our next class, Ginpao, Lester, and Steve thought of playing DotA! Habang naghahanap sila ng computer shop where they could play, Kath and I went to McDonalds to eat! The three followed kasi lahat ng shops ay puno! Bmon arrived and the three of us (Kath, Bmon, and I) ate our breakfast… Bmon also gave us his pasalubong from Vigan… YEHEY! Bingiyan niya kami ng kalesa at lumang bahay!!! hehehe… After eating, the six of us went back to school for our next class. NONE! hehehe… There was no professor… Abot ears na naman ang mga ngiti namin… hehehe… We left the room then sinundo namin si Pam… We went out of the campus, AGAIN, and ATE, AGAIN NA NAMAN, at the walls. Akalain mo yun! Kumain si Kath sa walls! hehehe… After eating, we went back to the campus. Eli and Feddie joined us because they were our classmate on our next subject! hehehe… Guess what?! WALA NA NAMAN KAMING PROFESSOR! We went out of the campus and went to SM because mahaba ang vacant namin! Lester, Ginpao, Bmon, Steve, and Eli played DotA! Pam, Kath, and I went window shopping (I did not play DotA, hehehe, para hindi ako masyadong ma-addict, at para makatipid!)… Window shopping lang kasi wala naman kaming much money for shopping! Feddie joined us and we ate ice cream! YUCK! Ayaw ko ng i-kwento ung itsura nung ice cream!!! Parang… EEEEWWW! LAO SAI!!! hehehe… The five continued playing even if it was time for our next class. Kath, Feddie, and I went back to school. The rest followed. AGAIN, WALA NA NAMAN PROFESSOR!!! AT AGAIN ULIT, KUMAIN NA NAMAN KAMI! We went at the canteen to eat pizza… hehehe… Alvin was with us and Feddie went somewhere else! Wala talagang tigil sa kaka-nguya!!! hehehe… After eating and chatting about some teleserye, I, Kath, Lester, Ginpao, Steve, and Bmon went on our next class and Pam and Eli went with us. On our ENVI class, all of our classmates were already on their Senior years… hehehe… Sabi nga nila: ANG DAMING SOURCES!!! hehehe… Huwag na kayong magulat… WALA NA NAMAN KAMING PROFESSOR!!! Haaaaayyyy! Out of 5 subjects, isa lang ang may professor! hehehe… All of us went out of the school for the last time and went to SM. Pam went home. Ginpao, Lester, Bmon, Steve, Eli, and Alvin played DotA! Kath and I went window shopping to find a gift for Honelyn… The two of us also ate at Greenwich! Akalain mo yun?! KAIN NA NAMAN!!! We went back to Netopia but the six weren’t finished playing. Kath needed to go home. Syempre, hinatid ko siya… After ng pag-hatid ko sa kanya, I went back to Netopia. After playing, we left SM. Alvin went home. Eli, Ginpao, Bmon, and I decided to take the Cubao route again (see yesterday’s blog post!)… The four of us, Lester, and Steve rode at the same jeepney. We, with the exemption of Steve, went down at Blumentritt to go to Lester’s house to pick up Bmon’s guitar. Eli and Ginpao went to Mini-Stop, while I went with Bmon to Lester’s house. The three of us reminisced the Hell Weeks while walking! Lester, Bmon, and I proceeded to Mini-Stop after picking up the guitar. At Mini-Stop, huwag na kayong mag-isip kung ano ang ginawa namin doon. KUMAIN NA NAMAN KAMI!!! haaaayy… Sarap na sarap siguro si Bmon sa hotdog niya… wahhahaha… JOKE!!! Kami naman ni Lester ay nabusog sa siopao! hehehe… I don’t know what Ginpao and Eli ate! After eating, we said our goodbyes to Lester and rode a jeep going to Cubao. We took the MRT. Eli and Ginpao went down on their respective stations while Bmon and I went down at the last station and parted ways!

O di ba?! Kahit WALA, masaya! No professor, MASAYA! Not enough money, MASAYA! Through my simple experience, I hope that "having fun while having none" would never be a paradox to you. I hope that FUN and NONE would never be two contradicting terms anymore!

Let me leave you with, I guess, an irony of life. May this help you in your lives: "Be NOT afraid of DYING for we know that it will come. Be MORE afraid of LIVING for we don’t know what’s to come!"

’til next time. Thanks for sharing your time with me! So long!

BELIEVE ON!

Starting the Term Right!

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

Tuesday Evening, January 3, 2006

Hi! This is my first blog post for the year 2006! Again, I would like to thank you for viewing my blog posts for 2005. I hope that you would continue to view them this 2006!

Classes for the third quarter at Mapua started this morning! A lot of Mapuans, as expected, gathered at the hallway, infront of the bookstore, to have some chats with their friends. All were expecting for a good term ahead of them. One of the student (which I think was a freshman) told his friend that he would like to have good grades for this term and he said that he could do such by starting this term right! After the events that transpired this day, I and the rest of my friends started the term right! I guess… hehehehe…

Let me share with you what happened this day and decide whether or not we started this term right!

I came to school early because our class was supposed to start at 7:30. I saw Franz and Rey sitting on the hallway, and I had a chat with them while waiting for my friends. Lester, Feddie, Ginpao, Revy, then Kath, and Eli came. We waited for more people but 7:30 came and we went upstairs. There, we waited for an hour and a half but our professor didn’t arrive! We (the whole class) agreed to leave the campus. Ginpao, Kath, Lester, Eli, and I went to SM to eat. Are you wondering where Bmon was? Well, he wasn’t able to come to school because he was still in the province! Because it was only 9:00 in the morning, the mall was still closed, only the fastfood chains were opened. We wasted 30 minutes on arguing where to eat. We ended up eating at Greenwich! Rommell also came at Greenwich… The mall opened and we watched and laughed at the people while they were making their way through the escalator! They were pushing one another and running as if as they were contestants on the Amazing Race! After eating, we went at the cinemas to choose a movie that we will watch. We watched Exodus. Sorry for my comment, but it was REALLY BAD! Eli, Kath, and Rommell sat with each other while Ginpao, Lester, and I were together and we really had a great time criticizing the movie! After the film, Eli bought a headset and we went home! Rommell went back to school. Ginpao and Eli agreed to take the Cubao route, of course, I went with them! Lester, Kath, and the three of us rode the same jeepney! Kath went down at Quiapo and Lester at Raon (he went there to buy something!). At Cubao, we rode at the MRT… Ginpao and Eli went down on their respective stations while I ended up at the Ayala station. I roamed around at Glorieta and Greenbelt before taking a bus-ride home!

That was the start of our term. Some may think that it was not a great way to start a term! I agree! Not going to class, watching a movie, and taking the long way home were the worst things to do on a start of a term! But who cares?! As long as we had fun with the company of each other, my friends and I believe that WE HAD STARTED THE TERM RIGHT!!

That’s it for this day! Thanks for sharing your time with me! BTW, Charmed is back with a new season on Star World! Watch it! Charmed would be aired at 8:00pm on Star World every Tuesday starting this night!

Always remember to do everything the you way you like it to be done! Don’t let others decide on what you will do! If what you have done will cause you pain in the future, accept the pain and learn from it, for this pain would make you a lot stronger!

’til tomorrow! And I hope that you started your year 2006 RIGHT!!!

START ON!
