A day in my life (12.07.12)

I'm not doing much tonight so I thought I'd share how my day went.

So since today was Game 3 of the Finals for the PCCL, my school (The University of Santo Tomas) decided to declare it yellow day (which means that instead of coming to school in our normal uniforms, we come in casual attire, but the catch is that our top needs to be yellow).

Anyway, I had to go to school earlier than usual. My classes start at 12 on MWF, so I usually leave the house so I get there around 11. But today, I had to leave the house by 9-ish because I had to submit my sister's friend's application form (no fucking idea why she volunteered me to submit it just because I go to UST). So anyways I was there at around 10:20, and I had to wait about half an hour in line. The line reached up to the 2nd floor. Though I'll admit that when I got to the front of the line, the girl who was handling me (wanky) was hot. I wish I knew who she was. All I know is she was wearing an MC Seniors '12 jacket, though when I showed her to my MC friends, they didn't know who she was. I got a picture of her though!! Anyways, after I submitted the form, they sent me and the other people over to a hot, un-airconditioned/electric fan-ed room to wait while they processed the forms. It took me about 10-15 minutes before they gave me back the form. I went straight to the hospital lobby where my driver was waiting for me so that he could take it back to my sister.

Before I went to class, I decided to go to the car park and buy that new iPhone case I was eyeing the day before. It was the similar style to the most recent one I'd purchased (hard, color blocking) except the color scheme was different! I was please to get it because the one I bought before was already coming apart (which is sad because I loved that case).

When I got to the main building, it was practically a ghost town. The once hallowed halls turned into hollowed halls that day. When I got to the main building, it was emptier than my wallet on a friday. I'm glad I saw Sir Reyes looking at one of the billboards near the faculty room (He was always one of my favorite profs). When I got to the front of the room, my blockmate JC was outside, sitting on the floor, studying for bio. We both noticed how the hallways were really empty and wondered why. Turns out there was a mass earlier which is why everyone was there. Later when more of my blockmates turned up, we decided to go into the room since the ones there weren't even having class. But then when more of their blockmates arrived, we decided to head back out.

Our first class for today was Fil, and ma'am was surprisingly in a good mood. She made us laugh, and wasn't bitchy at all during the presentation. Afterwards, we had Psych which was really boring (this current lesson is boring enough). Then, we didn't have BioLec because there weren't any teachers in the sciences faculty room. We decided to go up and buy burgers instead since we were hungry. We stayed in the room while majority of the block went out to eat lunch together... AGAIN.

Anyways, today was a good day. Kinda wasted a school day though :)

Boo to Camayan Beach Resort!

A report from Clarice (I just wanted to let you guys know about this)


As told by Mommy Emily, whose son, Enzo was attacked by jellyfish* while at Camayan Beach Resort & Hotel. 
*some say it was a portuguese man of war because of the unusually large welts and stings

1. Camayan Beach Resort and Hotel knows about the presence of jellyfish in their beach but they dont inform their guests about precautionary measures. 
2. Their oxygen tank was not ready for the emergency. 
3. They did not have a vehicle ready to transport us. As the COO of Camayan Beach Resort and Hotel told me – when you bring your kids to the beach, you know there is a risk. You could imagine how I freaked out with her statement! It was tantamount to saying that I am responsible for the accident of Enzo. More to come on the softskills of their manager and COO.

Camayan Beach Resort and Hotel oxygen tank was not ready. First Aiders had to fill out the little container with water. When asked why it wasnt ready, Camayan Beach Resort, Subic Bay Freeport, said that water in that container cannot be kept long. I say that they should replace the water once they think it is not “good” anymore.

Camayan Beach Resort and Hotel gave one complimentary night for us to recover from our shock …

We were expecting that before we check out, the general manager would come and visit us – check on Enzo. Apparently this wasn’t part of his schedule. I had to ask the receptionist to inform the GM that we would like to see him. He instead called us and explained that he is in a meeting with their COO and CFO.

To cut the story short, Toni, the GM passed me to their COO, Ruby Co .
I spoke to her about the accident and how we were let down by the way they handle it as well as the post-accident. She acknowledged my story with OK. And another cold OK and she went on like this until I stopped talking.

She then said to me “So tell me, what do you still want from us?!”

There was no sympathy in her voice. She talked to me like I was part of Camayan Beach Resort’s operations – that I was reporting to her metrics!

I was offended, shocked with the way she talked with me.

I became very emotional and hysterical. And she kept on talking over me and didn’t acknowledge my pain.

I told the COO of Camayan Beach Resort and Hotel that I want (1) that guests be informed about the presence of jellyfish in the beach – this sinformation on how to protect oneself and the first aid intervention. (2) that their first aid be more reliable and responsive.

And yes, I forgot to share with you, after the accident, Camayan Beach Resort, Subic Bay Freeport did not inform the guests of the presence of a jellyfish in the protected swimming area.

Looking at the pictures makes my heart break. I cannot imagine what friend went through.

If this happens to my kids and then someone asks me “So tell me, what do you still want from us?!”, I just might lose it. I probably would have hit her, with a right hook, right on the face!

I will never, ever bring my families and friends to Camayan Beach Resort and Hotel. Please share this so people will know that they should keep away from that place!

Happy December!! (12.01.12)

Christmas 2011

Happy December everyone!!

I know a lot of people would agree with me when I say December is one of my favorite months of the year. I don't know why though. I think it's probably because of the Christmas season and because of everything the Christmas season stands for (Love, Peace on Earth etc). 

Ever since I was a kid, Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. I think it's because December is the one time of the year where people come together, jolly, and just celebrate life and birth of our savior Jesus Christ.

Hope to have more posts this month!!

I'm human too (11.29.12)

So today during PE, I asked my blockmate (who was wearing this scientific shirt with like the heart + lungs) to identify all the parts of shirt. I just said heart, so basically he was making gago about how it wasn't just the heart. Then he brought up the fact na pinapahiya ko raw yun Ateneo dahil nagkamali ako.

Eh putangina naman.

It doesn't mean that, just because I'm from the Ateneo, perfect na ako kagad. You shouldn't judge people just because they come from a well-known school. If that's the case, eh di you are the complete opposite of perfect because you come from this insignificant, tiny school that no one knows or gives a shit about.

And bitch, who the fuck gives you the right to say that I'm embarrassing Ateneo just because I made a mistake. Eh puta, you don't know me or my family. My family and I have done and contributed so much to my school, that you have no fucking right to say that I've embarrassed them for one tiny mistake. I know I've done so much more in my 12 years in Ateneo, than you've done in your entire life. So shut the fuck up.

Forgive, but NEVER EVER fucking forget.

Happy Birthday Dan! (11.21.12)

Happy Birthday to one of the coolest, one of the most awesome people I've met at UST.

To my brother and my best friend, happy birthday mofo.

Keep Dreaming.

Farewell Tessa

My final tribute to mom. Happy 40 days. Love you so much and I miss you.

Bad Breakups

Okay, so I'm pretty sure EVERYONE knows the whole Chris Brown-Rihanna fiasco, and a lot of people have heard about the whole Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart scandal. Basically, they've been through a lot of bullshit (Chris beat Rihanna, Kristen cheated on Robert). So the smartest thing to do would be to break up right? And these couples did. You'd think that'd be the end of the story, but it surprises me how it's possible that there is another chapter. Each couple took time apart to do their own thing, and after certain amount of time. Now, each couple is back in each others arms, acting like nothing ever happened between the two.

I'm pissed.

Chris and Kristen put their partners through hell. Chris beat Rihanna. She basically half dead. Kristen cheated on Robert (I can only imagine how heartbreaking this must've been for him). I honestly do not understand what was going on through Rihanna and Rob's heads to let those two back into their lives, or what Chris and Rihanna did to re-enter their good graces (if that's even possible).

If I were Rihanna/Robert, there is no way on earth that I'd let someone who beat or cheated on me ever back into my life. No way. I'm sorry, but end of story.

If you touch me, or break my heart, out of the door... POINT BLANK
