So what does it feel like to be in the middle of a disaster? How can a person living in Malabon like me answer? Mixed feelings.
I feel tired doing all the saving things and cleaning up. I feel depressed that it happened. I feel angry especially when we didn't get any attention/help considering that we suffered the same destruction as that other city over there. I feel frustrated that my schedule for the week is destroyed. I feel helpless after seeing the damages.
There's no amount of sweet lemon that can cover all this mess. My sister and I were joking that mother nature is a crazy bitch. You don't want to anger her. Indeed, we angered her so much that she really wants to kill us, literally.
*Sigh* I really don't know what to feel.

Ohhhh it's been one month already. Gosh.
Hey!! I'm still here. I've nothing to say for the whole month of August. Hihi.
Uhhh.. I sprained my foot. Huhu. This is the first time it swelled like this with a lot of bruises. Huhu. Sucks. *Sigh*
It looks really bad.. Aaaaaa I have a lot of pending medical concerns now. I still have to go to the dentist. My gums over my wisdom tooth are aching. Maybe not enough room for it to grow.
And then there's this another one. Then there's this sprain. Aaaaahh I don't have time to visit every doctor. We all know that going to the doctor for a consult entails a whole day.

I guess I should say something about the death of Cory Aquino.
There are many things about her that can be said. First of all, she was not that good of a leader. During her term, she had to deal with one coup after another. Her term was quite turbelent and did not mark much economic success.
What I really want to remember her for is her courage. She stepped up when she could have just sit back and be quiet. Despite her lack of knowledge, she assumed a role because history demamded it. That we could be something great and not just a mediocre person that society wants us to be.
She made me realize that we could just give up or we could fight our battles. We could persevere and show the world that we can do it.

Finally! Something to write about. And it's another rant. Haha.
We have this transcription system at school. Our batch made it and it's supposed to transcribe the lecture. Each group will be assigned to a topic and they will do. You will have an option whether to subscribe to and read it or not. But all will help in doing it.
What I hate about this system is they are so strict with everything and they force people to participate. I do not read the transcriptions at all and still I help them do their notes.
Sure I it's not a problem for me to help them, after all it's team work. I just don't like them having so much expectations with the quality of the transcriptions given the time frame of less than 12 hours to finish it and that's night time. And they even want to punish people. For one thing, some people are just doing it for charity and they should be grateful.
Second, transcriptions are transcriptions of lectures, not a summary of the book. It is understood that they should do their own research and readings. Scribes do their part, students should also their part by reading or actually listening during lectures. I don't get it when some people just sleeps during lectures. Aren't they bothered that someone in front might see them?
These people rely too much on other people.

Oh my it's been over a month already since I last posted. Waaaaa. Time flies so fast.
Tomorrow's our first exam for the year. I will do well. Law of Attraction.
Speaking of The Secret, the book and its proponents say that if you will it, then the universe will conspire to make it happen for you. I guess we can count on that. If we really want something, we will have it. So think positive.

Hello. I'm still here.
I've been doing a lot of thinking today. This is after my biological mother told me in an awful way that my new haircut is really ugly. That's not really a surprise since she is always like that to all people and how she blurts out nasty comments. I said to myself, "she could have said that in a nicer way and I would have listened."
Then I realized, I have been a jerk to my father too when I told him how stupid his idea is of buying an old car. I think it's high time that I really shut up.

Last night, I also realized that I really should not be texting while driving. And it just sank in me last night that it is really dangerous. I'm not really afraid of dying in a car crash. I even believe that it is a cool way of dying rather than dying of cancer or any disease. It's fast and easy not like diseases that are slow and painful. What I am really afraid of is running over somebody which means that, here in the Philippines, that would mean headaches and migraines for the rest of your life. And think about the humiliation you're going to get from these horrible media that does not respect your right and the police who are trigger happy.

Also today, I thought of the age long saying, "Money doesn't buy you happiness." I guess this saying only applies to people who have money. My family has been justifying money for the longest time. But I don't. I still feel strongly for values like freedom, friendship and love.
I guess only a few people would understand this. That money is never a substitute for freedom or anything else. That's why I would always fight for freedom. People who are free take their freedom for granted. Money would never buy you happiness. I assure you that.
