What thoughts must a person have when he is about to graduate, when he is about to finish a four-consecutive-year and three-tiresome-summer endeavor, when he is about to face a new, uncertain phase of his life, when he is about to go out from his comfort zone of college life and step into a world, a real world, that is cruel? What emotions must he have to show to the world? What attitude and character must he portray? What role must he do? What dialogues are to be delivered on the stage of reality?
Uncertainties.
I should be asking these questions to myself--because GaGRADUATE NA AKO!!
I'm actually excited yet disturbed by the realities I ought to face.
...
However, I need to be optimistic!
So allow me to flaunt my picture here on my blog, hoping that some interested employers will drop by here and, who knows, hire me! lol ^_^
Behold the power of technology--photo editing! ^_^
How does it feel losing something?
Painful? Perhaps yes..
Well, I just lost my cellphone yesterday on my way to a mall. How do I feel? Nothing.
It's not really my first time to have lost something. For the record, I have lost only three valuable things this year. I seldom lose a thing valuable to me because I make sure it's well secured. But there really some instances when things go out of control.
The first time was when I left my wallet inside a public utility van. After knowing my wallet is gone, I hurried back to where i was dropped off and to where the terminal of the van is thinking I could still retrieved it - I failed. I really hope that time that whosoever found it will return it to me because all the information he/she needed to know about me is in the wallet. I even have my school ID and my cellphone number, yet after months of waiting no one texted or even returned my ID to the guard at the school. I don't mind whether they will return the money, what Im after was the valuable things inside it.
The second was my USB. I just found out one day that it was already gone. I might have handed it someone, then it was not returned. USB's are cheaper nowadays.. I can always buy a new one. But I can never replace what's inside of it - the important documents, pictures.
Lastly is my cellphone. It fell while I was riding a tricycle. My cellphone is not high-tech as i consider it. Actually, Its LCD is not colored and has no camera (I dont know what brand of Nokia it is). So I was really thinking that people will not have interest of stealing or keeping it - I was wrong. I tried calling it many times. At first, the phone still rings but later it was turned off.

How come people are so dishonest nowadays?
Bakit hindi na magawa ng tao (ng Pilipino) na isauli ang bagay na hindi naman sa kanya?
Naaalala ko pa na proud na proud ako noon nung nakita ko sa TV yung taong nagsauli ng malaking halaga. Sabagay malaking halaga iyon.. Sa tingin siguro ng ibang tao, wala ng halaga yung mga maliliit na bagay na nawawala at nakikita nila kaya ayun hindi na magawang isauli.
Hindi ako nanghihinayang sa materyal na bagay na nawala. Nanghihinayang ako sa sintemental na halaga ng mga bagay na iyon. Nangahihinayang ako sa mga mensaheng naroroon na binabasa ko araw-araw at nagbibigay inspirasyon sa akin, lalung-lalo na yong mga mensahe na hindi na masasabi o mabibigay ng mga taong mahalaga sa iyo...
Hay... nagiging madrama lang ako siguro...

On the brighter side, may mga kapalit ang mga bagay na nawala..
Ano kaya 'yon.. Exciting! ^_^
Now my blog is cleaner than before. I finally decided to remove all the advertisements embedded in my blog.
I just came to realize, I'm not blogging for money anyway. I'm not payed to blog anyway (thanks to
Trashman's post). Perhaps, I should again check my purpose of blogging.

I'm now back in the blogosphere. I'd been busy this past months that is why i had no time to update my blog, even just checking my friendster account. Whew! Fourth year na pala talaga ako. I now only have less than six months, by then I will be exiting the portals of ndmu entering a new arena of life - my teaching career. Honestly, arriving at this point of my life, I began feeling confused and uncertain of what life will be for me. What will now happen to me after my college life? of course it will not be the same day like you'll wake up in the morning, take a bath, eat breakfast then go to school, seat in a class then go out when the bell ring, chat with your friends, go out for a gimmick and the likes that usually happen in college. Naiiisip ko pa lang na ganun na ang mangyayari, nalulungkot na ako. Hay..
Advice? Anyone?
It's a sad news that stuns the whole nation especially the world of showbiz for an actor in the persona of Rudy Fernandez have given up a fight - a fight between life and death (char!)
Everyone dies! It's inevitable. This cliche sinked in as I was watching the news flooded of his story. Naalala ko tuloy si William Wallace, my idol, when he shouted out this phrase "Every man dies, not every man really lives" (just a correlation, hehe).
Another realization again, death comes to everyone - actors, billionaires, presidents, and plebeians. But before death knocks on our door, have we exerted all our means to create a legacy, something that people will remember? Have we exerted all effort to touch other peoples' lives?
Good for Rudy because he is an actor. But is it enough just to be famous so that you will be remembered?
Saka ko lng naappreciate ang lahat nung pinapalabas sa TV nung may nagtestimony na lalaki. Sabi nya, "Nakapag-aral ang anak ko dahil sa kanya". And for that, Rudy will forever remain in that person's heart. By that his existence has become meaningful to that person. Pakitranslate lng po sa English =)
How I wish I could do the same to other people. But for now, by doing good things in my own simple ways, I hope I could touch others.
Salamat pala Rudy! In a way, natouch mo ang life ko.. =) See you in heaven. It so happen na nauna ka lang. =)

It's 12:39 am of June 6, 2008. I'm in front of the computer thinking of something to post while having my supfast (supper and breakfast). Prior to that, I have already spent hours trying to design my blog and reading other blogs to get ideas on how this thing works. Yet what I get is reddish eyes with black sagging lumps of skin under them.
Darn! I just hate writing, how much more making a post. You might be asking why am I keeping a blog 'cause basically it is like writing. Well, everyone has reasons why they have a blog. I just want to share mine:
- I'm gonna be an English teacher someday (hehe, I still have the guts to boast this well in fact I still don't know how to properly use prepositions) Anyway, that's definitely the point. I need an avenue to practice this skill so that I could truly teach what I know, though blood gushes out of my nose every time I'm trying to be an Englessero.
- I need a place to burst out my utots, I mean thoughts. Im actually a person who seldom share his opinions, stories and stupidities in life (ayan, yabangan na). Or maybe I dont share because I dont have the guts to do so (ewan).
- Earth calling Zerwin! win...! win...! Please be updated with the latest technologies! gies..! gies..!
- Lastly, advertisement equals income. Well, I also have this in mind just like others. I have been thinking lately of how to make money so that I can start being independent. I just want to go to different places, buy gadgets, watch movies. and bar hop without asking money from my parents. And I find blogging as a good avenue. I hope it won't turn out that blogging is for money making. For me, gaining money out of blogging is just an additional benefit or reward and not as the primary compensation for doing so (perhaps Im just trying to justify things).
Every blogger has reasons why he/she blogs. At the end of the day, it will all depend on his motives.
That's it! I finally laid down my thoughts that took me almost four hours to compose.
I am now officially giving birth to my blog. It's actually my first time to do this. In fact I don't even make a diary. I'm not fond of writing maybe that is why. So I guess this would be a challenge.
How am I going to customize this? I just a newbie you know, so I probably wont be making sense in all my posts. If by chance someone gets to read this, please leave a comment so I could improve my blog and myself as well(?).
You might be asking why I named this blog as "blog-adag". Well, there is actually a reason of course, but not really that profound or you may say it's insensible. Just watch out for my next post. =)
