Development and Communication
Sunday, January 20, 2013 ? 1 Watchasay? ?
Hi dear blog, I know I've been taking you for granted because I have yet again failed my responsibility of updating you. huhu. So I think you deserve to know what's eating my time. It's Acads!
Development AND Communication are indeed simple words and they actually sounds good. And that's one of the reason why I wrote Development Communication in my UPCAT form. But who would think that those two simple words are one hella course when combined? Clearly, I didn't. I thought it would not be as hard as BS Math. lol
A coursemate and friend of mine one said "Mas mahirap ang Objective course kesa sa Subjective. Nakakainis lang pag di alam ng marami kung gaano kahirap ang DevComm". DEVCOMM 11, our current pain in the butt, proves her statement to be true. Grabe. Sobrang matrabaho, sobrang skill based, sobrang objective kaya todo todo rant ang friends ko sa twitter at facebook. Hahahaha.
But I guess the only way to lessen the difficulty of passing this course, one must love doing it. Free coffee and pandesal during our lab is one of the things that I love about devcomm, and the people and professors too. It's like everyone is a family and walang KJ! People are open minded, warm and friendly too.
One thing I'm starting to realize through DEVC 11 is that writing should be something you enjoy doing. I enjoy writing, I love it but because sometimes I overthink and worry too much about the technicalities of it, I lose the natural way of doing it. So last lab work, I just went with the first idea that came into my mind. I went with the way I wanted to write my experience making my own coffee and I think, for the longest time I haven't been satisfied with my performance, I felt relieved just doing it, just writing and sharing my thoughts about the experience.
So I guess writing is just being yourself. And I think I have to take DEVC 11 easy and just write and write and write, go with the flow and edit when finished. :D

I'm off to ship my things and myself to UPLB tomorrow. I'm sad and excited at the same time. I don't know.
But right now I'm so happy and so in love with my MacBook Pro :) I would blog about everything when my blogging self isn't lazy anymore.
Haaay. I haven't even updated my story yet, I wish I'll have my motivation back.
Nakakaasar. Kasasabi ko lang sa note to self ko na hindi ako dapat tamarin. Hay.
But well, my self is stubbon :D

Dear Zai,

You're off to College! Yay :) give yourself a shoulder pat for going after what you want and taking risks.
I hope you're realizing that this is real, this is the big thing. When you start to pack your things off to college, you're on your own. This is where you begin to shape your future and become who you've always wanted to be. I know you have big dreams, now is your chance to go after them.
Please! Wag ka ng tamarin =))) Please don't lose motivation to do the things you do. Don't lose motivation to do things you know you're good at. Just don't give up when you start feeling like a lazy-ass person you are. Please just go on, be consistent. Please! and even if you do feel down, have something to believe in. Have something to make you keep going.
I know it's going to be tough. College is fun they say, but I know you'll be expecting a lot of bumps ahead too. And when you do, re-read this letter. Keep this is your wallet or your inbox or wherever. Okay?
Here, I've made a list of things you should always keep in mind. I know you to be easily distracted and you always change your mind.
1. Don't rush things - You can't be best at something at first try. Alam ko na gusto mo ganun, gusto mo magaling ka kaagad sa isang bagay. Nawawalan ka ng pagasa kapag nakikita mong mahirap sa simula. Don't rush okay? Don't stop trying at your first error. Lunukin mo muna lahat ng insecurities mo at walang kwenta mong pride =)) Iwasan mong panghinaan ng loob. Ganun talaga di ba? It's always hard in the beginning. Lahat naman, pero kapag okay na magagawa mo na rin yan ng tama.
2. Embrace failures - Alam ko na hindi ka sanay magkamali. Hindi ka sanay na hindi ikaw ang tama. College would be different. Alam mo naman yun, maraming tao na ang nagsabi sayo. It would be full of different people and diversed opinions. Don't lose yourself among the crowd. You're going to be wrong a lot of times. You'll fail! It would hurt, like the first time you failed your Physics exam. Try to accept it. Move on and improve yourself. You know that Failure is just a part of life, ACCEPT IT AND LIVE WITH IT. Please, I hope you're tough enough to get up when you fail. Don't disappoint me. Don't disappoint yourself
3. Prioritize - habang sinusulat mo to, alam kong malinaw sa'yo ang mga priorities mo. Ang mga gusto mong maabot. Ang gusto mong maging kinabukasan. Pero naninigurado lang ako, there's gonna be a lot of things that may and will change you. Okay lang. Pero wag mong kakalimutan ang goal mo. Baka kasi mawala sa isip mo to. Ikaw pa naman, madaling ma temp ;D Basta ang priority mo is GOD, FAMILY, SCHOOL. Bahala ka na sa mga susunod. Okay?
4. STUDY HARD - Gets mo na yan =))) Kahit maraming tukso sa kolehiyo, sige okay lang na patulan mo (pero wag lahat. Hahaha). Basta wag mo kakalimutan na pagkatapos ng gala at happy trips, may pagaaral kang dapat gawin. Okay? Please! sana wag matigas ang ulo. Sundin mo to! =)) Sorry kung sinasabi ko sa'yo to, alam ko kasi na nalulula ka pa rin sa dami ng magbabago sa college. Tandaan mo na gagraduate ka with flying colors! Gaano man kahirap makarating dun. Love your course, keep in mind what you learn. At wasan mo nang isumpa kung gaano kahirap ang pagaaral =))) Love UP.
5. Be consistent - HOY ZAI! wag kang ningas kugon ah =))) kung ano nasimulan mo, sipagan mo ng imaintain. Alam ko na alam mo na sa lahat ng bagay, sa Maintenance ka mahina. Lagi kasing ang nangyayare sayo, nawawalan ka ng gana. nawawalan ka ng motivation ibigay ang best mo sa lahat ng ginagawa mo. Please, this time don't lose it. If you do, do something to have it again.
6. Enjoy your Freedom - Malaya ka na! Haha. Alam ko na independent ka na rin naman sa sarili mo. Pero mas bongga ngayon, aalis ka na sa bahay niyo, magkakaron ka ng bagong environment, ikaw na ang hahawak ng sarili mong pera. (YAY!) Alam ko na matagal mo ng gusto gumawa ng napakaraming bagay, magsimula ng mga bagay ng hindi nagdadalawang isip dahil kailangan mo pa ng approval ng magulang mo. Enjoy your freedom because finally, you can do what you want and you already have the chance and resources to do them. Simulan mo ng ilista ang mga bagay na pagiipunan mo =))) Take advantage of this freedom for you to improve yourself, not destroy. Stay responsible.
7. Know your limitations - That's what your mom always tells you. Sundin mo siya, kahit minsan nakakainis siya. Nanay mo yun at kailangan mo siyang sundin. You're lucky to have a mom who lets you do things because she trusts you. I know you're never ever done something to defy her. And I hope you keep a clean slate till you graduate. Okay lang na magenjoy ka at gawin lahat ng gusto mo. Make mistakes! Make a lot of them. Pero siguraduhin mo na hindi nun maapektuhan ang pagaaral mo o ang kinabukasan mo. Siguraduhin mo rin na kaya mong panindigan ang kasalanan mo. Basta, know your limitations.
8. Stay grounded - Don't ever ever ever ever lose yourself. You're gonna meet a lot of people. Hear a lot opinions. Experience a lot of things. These may change you, but always remember who you are. Keep yourself in tact. WAG LALAKI ANG ULO MO! PLEASE! =)))) or WAG KANG MAGPAPADALA SA MALALAKI ANG ULO! =))) Just please, I like who you are now, if something's gonna change you in college, make sure it's for the better you.
9. Love Yourself - Bago ka magkandarapa sa mga gwapong lalake na makikilala at makikita mo sa college. Mahal mo muna sarili mo ha =)) Feeling ko kasi you don't love yourself enough. Kulang ka pa sa tiwala sa sarili mo. Sana sa college maniwala ka sa mga kakayahan mo at iwasan mong mainsecure sa mga tao at bagay sa paligid mo :)
10. Keep all these in mind :)
P.S.
Don't forget home - wag kang masyadong matuwa sa kalayaan mo, umuwi ka pa rin regularly ha! =))))))))
Love,
Your Sixteen Year Old Self .

Pre College Orientation
Tuesday, May 8, 2012 ? 0 Watchasay? ?
Kanina habang nagoorientation, syempre pumasok na naman sa isip ko ang "Oh my god, I am so gonna blog this" tapos ngayon, tinatamad na ako isipin ang mga iniisip ko kanina. Haha.
Ibubullets ko na lang ang mga nangyare ;D
- Arrived there 30 minutes earlier so we had to wait. Namamangha lang talaga ako sa mga tao. Hahaha. So different. May mukang artista, may mukang okay lang. At may mukang... pwede na ;D
- Pagpasok na pagpasok sa hall. Ang chorva nung speaker. Feeling close c agad? Hahaha. Mejo awkward ang feeling ko kasi total loner talaga. Wala akong kakilala eh. So I greeted my seatmate. Loner din siya, taga Bicol. Grabe ang layo. 13 hours ang byahe, land and water ;D
- Nagsimula na. Ang pangunahing activity is to know 10 people. Their course and kung taga saan sila. Grabe. Mejo nakakahiya pa saka awkward. Hehe. tapos grabe! Ang lalayo nila, as in from different parts of Luzon. May galing Bataan, Bicol, Zambales, Baguio, Isabela, Ilocus Sur pati nga Cordillera eh. Grabe. Nahiya naman ako kasi from Cabuyao lang tapos magdodorm na ko ;D
- Get to know each other chuchu. Ang sayaaaaa. After nun nagtawag si Kuya Speaker ng tatayo at ituturo lahat ng nakilala niya :D
- Pagkatapos ng getting to know, naglaro ng "Bahay, Baboy, Bagyo" Parang open the Basket. Pag bahay, magpapalit ng basket, pag baboy yung tao sa loob ang papalitan and pag bagyo naman magrurumble lang ang bahay at baboy :D
- They grouped us into seven. Tapos parang nagkaroon ng open forum each group. Nag introduce yourself tapos yung dalawang face nag intoduce samin ng Do's and Don'ts inside the campus and the classroom. Tapos nagkwento din sila kung gaano kasarap at kahirap sa UPLB. Total Freedom daw talaga. Kahit ano gusto mong trip walang pakealaman. May teacher daw na pumapasok ng nakabikini top, may students daw na pumapasok ng nakainom. Keribels lang. Pero depende din daw sa Prof ang rules. Wag daw umabsent ng first day para malaman na lahat :D Mahirap umabsent, pahirapan sa pagkuha ng excuse slip. Hay, kala ko pwede na =))
- Bumalik na ulit kami sa function Hall. Naglaro kami ng ibang version ng bato bato picks per group. Hahaha, ang tawag naman "Archer, Rabit, Wall" Talo ng Archer ang Rabit, talo ng Rabit ang wall at talo naman ng wall ang rabbit :D
- After ng game, balik speaker na ulit pero ibang speaker na. Ngayon naman diniscuss niya ang Advantages ng UPLB at ng Student Affairs. Mga eklavu sa mga ORG, bawal mag Org ang Freshie :D Tapos yung mga University Fees. Mga programs. Mga dorms. Saka yung Student Council and Student Online System. Amazing, ang gagaling nila mag speak. Mga aktibista talaga. Haha
- After ng Speak, nagpakilala silang mga volunteers isa isa. Ang kukulit lang. Lahat sila may "say" yung talagang Ma-ere ang dating. Typical UP. May nagtanong, "Bakit the Best ang UP?" ang sagot nung gay "Dahil nandito tayo. Nandito kayo at nandito ako" oha, pang miss gay :D Ang dami niya sinabi, halos lahat sila kahit iba iba ang course binibida ang kanya kanyang course. Mahalin mo daw ang course mo dahil syempre, yun ang the best. Grabe lang talaga. nakakapressure na nakakaamaze ang confidence nila. Mahihiya ka mahiya =))
Kaya siguro mejo maeere ang people and confident and sinasabi ng iba na mayabang, dahil may K naman talaga sila. Haha, sabi nga nung bakla. Hindi pagyayabang ang pagsasabi ng totoo :"3. Talagang dun pa lang ipapafeel nila sayo na you should feel you are the best because you truly are. Parang bawal ang insecure. Dapat sabihin mo na sa sarili mo na "Talagang magaling ako" Grabe. Nakaka pressure, pero at the same time naeexcite ako :D
