A Battle with time

we usually hear the cliche that time is gold. but do ou get to appreciate time if you have it as a luxury?

lately, since i made myself super busy with extracurricular activities, i felt time all the more. i mean in the past years i wasn't too busy and i don't have so much to do except with my academics so, i slack, waste my time and all those things. but now i appreciate 15 minutes of nap, 5-6 hours of sleep, 1 hour study time for major exams etc etc.

but of course i see how problematic it would be if you make time an enemy... so i just tried to master it so that i may make even a minute very productive.

help me Lord in this battle... i pray that i may win... Amen

Praise The Lord!!!

Debate---> The 3rd Loyola Cup of the Ateneo Debate Community

"this house believes that..." this phrase continues to rule over my system up to this very moment. why? simply because i am into debating.

debating they say is the art of persuasion, but i say it is the art of becoming sophisticated. why? because when you debate ou are challenged to become the most sophsticated debater in the house.

anyways, last sunday (july 22, 2007), the 3rd Loyola Cup was held in ADDU. of course i joined because i am a newbie of the club and in a way it was a requirement to see how far we have learned about the prnciples of debating. i am belong to bellarmine block specifically bellarmine b. i am paired with ate flora.

anyways, the event was generally fun in a sense that sacrificed one whole day of studying calculus and physics just to join the one whole day debate tournament. so joined the debate.

there were four rounds in the debate and generally it was fun. we won first place in the first debate, but we became fourth in the next two rounds while the fourth round was a slent round so the results were not given to us.

well, i love debating na. i mean it is mind stimulating and sometimes you get to bluff yourself ands the members of the house just to make the case work for you and you get to use thoser sophisticated words and all.

basta wala akong masabi...

Life Life and more about real life.

each day passes with a new opportunity. each day brings new possibilities. sometimes it is what you expect and hope for, but sometimes they do not. for the past weeks of my second year life, i learned a lot of thing, but not all things about myself and about life as a whole. well after some time, i got these few reflections:

LIFE:

1. life is a mirror. what you get/see is who you are.
2. life is a roller coaster. it brings thrill and anxiety to the people riding in it all in one ride.
3. life is a library. it is full of wonders and secrets.

ME:
1. i am a chemical specie. i was once pure but now nearly impure.
2. i am a meter stick. i am limited.
3. i am just me, because i am unique.

There are places I remember all my life,Though some have changedSome forever, not for betterSome have gone and some remain.All these places have their momentsOf lovers and friends I still can recallSome are dead and some are livingIn my life I loved them all.And with all these friends and loversThere is no one compares with youAnd these mem'ries lose their meaningWhen I think of love as something newAnd I know I'll never lose affectionFor people and things that went beforeI know I'll often stop and think about them.In my life I loved you more.And I know I'll never lose affectionFor people and things that went beforeI know I'll often stop and think about them.In my life I loved you moreIn my life I loved you more

Break away by kelly Clarkson---> lingaw.

[Intro:][×2]Da da da'd da daDa da da'd da daDa da da'd da da da da[Verse 1:]
]Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could breakaway [chorus]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Da da da'd da daDa da da'd da daDa da da'd da da da da

[Verse 2:]
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jetplane, far away
And breakaway [chorus]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

[Bridge:]
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
But, gotta keep moving on, moving on Fly away, breakaway [chorus 2]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta
Take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

BREAKAWAY from all the evils of this world... BREAKAWAY

Making Stress A Friend---> Sarcastic gamay...hehehe

im feeling the reality.
i now experience the truth.

life is not as familiar as one two three...
it actually is as complicated as a boulder that we don't want to see.

life is a bit painful
stressful and full of all those "fulls"

it is a bit challenging
this changed everything

life is challenging
it makes me feel excited and even more excited.

it makes me go through...
i love it.

hahaha. just forget about those lines above. iam just stressed with the experiment that we just had in analytical chemistry. well indeed life is super dooper kapoy. and i think we all would agree to that. but beyond the stress is the challenge to manage time and make the stress work for me. well besides my academics na medyo nagiging mas mahirap na as the days go along, i have increasing responsibilitiwes in the clubs as well which doubles thestress(or perhaps raises the stress to the power of 4).

but let us accept this fact, it is part of life.

for the past three or four weeks of my second year first sem defined how life in college goes on. but it gave me the chance to know my limits and my strengths as well. KAYA KO PALA!? i would often tell myself even though sometinmes i do something half well but i still manage to 'recognize' my personal efforts.

though stress gave me bache aches, headaches, heartaches and all iother sorts of aches, i would still like to conclude my blog by saying that YOUR WORST ENEMY IS YOUR BEST FRIEND!!!
hahaha. sounds optimistic right? compared to the statement YOUR BEST FRIEND IS YOUR BEST ENEMY. =D. well stress like in industrial processes refines, redefines, reforms and strengthens any raw materials... well thast is all that i can say... basta stress is working in my favor... hahaha. i am just keeping a positive paradigm...

you will when you believe... there can be miracles... when you believe... hahaha...

With God All things are possible...=D
