New Year's Resolution!

New Year's Resolution? What would it be? 


Physical Appearance?
It won't happen at all but if I will continue to improve my daily lifestyle, maybe my physique will change. I'll pray and ask GOD for that.


Bonding with my Family? 
Today, I'm with my mother who came back to celebrate Christmas and New Year in the Philippines. She left my father who worked and temporarily lived in Saudi Arabia. I hope next year, me and my family will celebrate Christmas and New Year TOGETHER.


Skills?
I shall gain more skills pertaining to blog posting because someone told me that I'm not good in English. Oh well, a quarter of my life is on blogging, so next year it'll be surprising if someone will read my post, no one could ever react. I won't stop BLOGGING. :)


I want to have a saxophone and a ukulele and I'll also try to compose songs. I love to express my emotions through music. GUITAR is my forte but I hope next year, I'll try to use other instruments rather than guitar. :)


In addition for the 2nd semester, I need to improve my programming skills, kinda slow and pressured a little bit but these feelings and emotions will definitely foregone if I'll read more articles and posts about programming, maganda para sa akin hindi ba?.
  

Lovelife?

I don't think it will happen again and again but of course it depends on me. I'll focus more on my studies rather than to be in love. Hindi kasi mapigilan ang paghanga na mapupunta sa pagmamahalan. Arrghh, those corny lines that I've used. 


And lastly..



Think Positive in all the things you like to accomplish. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
YEAR OF THE TIGER coming up! :)

Christmas Galore - Part 1 ('09 Edition)

Paskuhan Sa USTe (December 18, 2009)


 

NOTE: This photo is not mine, it's from the owner (lower left) itself. :D



The most awaited celebration at the University of Santo Tomas, they started to count the days for the 400 Years of Unending Grace in UST. VIVA SANTO TOMAS!


Engineering One Voice Chorale Christmas Party (December 19, 2009)


My first ever ONE VOICE christmas party because I was first accept as one of the members of OV. I loved this celebration but not only that, we sang as a choir in the church and we did carol inside the subdivision at Fairview, Quezon City. I had a great time with you guys.Thanks to the whole chorale. Merry Christmas!


Christmas Caroling (December 22, 2009)

My group, The Quake Shot and I did something lovable and valuable to the people around the streets, inside our subdivision. It's my fault why we did this kind of tradition but they're the ones who accept my invitation in joining the Christmas caroling. We used my brother's guitar and a square-shaped tupperwares for our drums in our caroling. After 2 hours, we'd caroled 4 streets and counted our blessings. At that time, we received 250 pesos, not bad but we didn't continue because it's raining and it's 9:30 in the evening then and my friends' parents will surely spank them. JUST KIDDING GUYS!  

END OF PART 1. :D






Paskuhan 2009

Q&A's (Paskuhan 2009) - It's Just A Trip 



How's the Paskuhan 2009 Mass and Festivities that happened in University of Santo Tomas?


 First Simbang Gabi is not just an ordinary mass for the Thomasians but a celebration of the arrival or coming of our Messiah, JESUS CHRIST. My fellow Thomasians re-enacted the portrayal of Mary and Joseph the Carpenter. After the celebration, a bit Salu-Salo with my Co-Chorale in the Faculty of Engineering.



Because this is my second time ever to celebrate Christmas in the Philippines and this time happened in UST, even though there are lots of students who come and celebrate this event, this is one of the most ASTONISHING and SPECTACULAR celebration I've ever had in my entire life. With all the dazzling fireworks that happened around 12 mn, the bands that students surely must release their pressure regarding on their studies by jumping higher and saying "ROCK ON!" and lastly the performances of our SECOND PARENTS and FELLOW THOMASIANS (either ALUMNI or STUDENTS).


Did you and your friends invite someone to go to the Paskuhan 2009?


I invited my Co-Batchmates @ IPSA and my friend invited my Former Batchmates @ Chevalier School to celebrate this wonderful festivity. But before that, we caress first the moments inside and outside the 4 corners of UST. Is it that wonderful? After that, my co-batchmates and I had a get-together at my crib (siyempre pagod na pagod mga taong 'to, mahaba-habang tulog 'to kaya LET'S GET IT ON!).


But before the festivity, where did you go?


Me? I went to the internet cafe to meet my friends who came from different Colleges/Faculties of UST. Then we've strolled at the mall and went back to the University.


How long you've stayed at Paskuhan


After the celebration ended, we'd spent the night out at UST for about 6 hours. See how long did the celebration arise? That was one of the best Christmas celebrations I'd ever celebrated in my entire life. I wish there will be a greater celebration instead of Paskuhan in UST. Sana 2011 na! 


Quadricentennial Year - 2011! Viva Santo Tomas!!

Ang pagbabasa ay maihahalintulad natin sa paglaki ng isang PUNO dahil tulad nito, ang pagbabasa ay maraming maibubunga. Ang proseso ng pagbabasa ay nagsisimula sa ugat, ganito rin ang proseso ng pagsalin ng sustansya na nanggagaling sa lupa at kung sa pagbabasa, ang lupa ay ang materyales na nagbibigay ng impormasyon. Sunod naman dito ay ang pagdaloy ng impormasyon mula sa ugat patungo sa tangkay. Ang tangkay ng puno ay nagsisilbing utak at isipan ng mambabasa kung saan naipon ang lahat ng nalaman niya. Ang bunga naman ang siyang kalalabasan ng mga ideya na nanggagaling sa ugat na dumaloy sa tangkay. 


(Bago naming maipahayag kung ano ang aming sasabihin tungkol sa napili naming aklatan, pagpaumanhin ninyo po dahil ang napili naming establisyemento ay isa sa mga hindi dapat isamang aklatan dahil may napili na po kaming establisyemento na ayaw magpanayam sa amin at may mga napili rin po kaming silid-aklatan kaso hindi namin po naabutan dahil Christmas party nila. Muli ay pagpaumanhin po.)





MERRIAM-WEBSTER BOOKSTORE (Morayta (Nicanor Reyes Sr. Ave) Branch)





Nakapanayam po namin si Mrs. Estelita Gepalaga, isa siyang Supervisor ng M-W Bookstore at mahigit 10 years siyang nagtatrabaho dito bilang isang supervisor.



Sinabi niya na ang Merriam-Webster Bookstore ay ginawa ni G. Louie Sy Kheyu noong 1960, na una, nagsimula sa maliit na family business sa may C.M. Recto street. Hindi lang pagbebenta ng mga libro ang kanilang ginagawa, kung hindi ang bookbinding, folding at trade-in ng second-hand books. Magmula noon ay nagbukas din sila ng pangalawang branch na ngayon ay Main Branch ng Merriam-Webster Bookstore sa may Nicanor Reyes Sr. Avenue. Lumipas ng ilang taon ay padami nang padami ang mga nagsisibukasang M-W branch lalung-lalo na ang kanilang Publishing House. Mula noon, ang Family Business ng isang aklatan ay naging korporasyon.








Mga estudyante (elementarya hanggang kolehiyo), mga book-lovers at kalimitan mga taong nagtatrabaho (professionals) ang kanilang target sa kanilang establisyemento. Dahil marami sa atin ay mga book-lovers, ito ang kanilang inspirasyon kaya dumami ang kanilang inilimbag na mga libro at mga branch na kanilang itinayo. 




"Hindi mabilang na mga mamimili at mga mambabasa araw-araw dahil sa laki ng aming establisyemento.." sabi ni Gng. Gepalaga. "..mahigit 500+ ang mga librong pangkolehiyo kagaya ng mga Reviewers , mga librong pang-inhinyeriya, pang-narsing, pang-midwifery at iba pang mga libro at mahigit 300+ ang mga librong panghayskul at pangpropesyonal hindi pa kasama doon ang mga librong pambata tulad ng mga fables, fairy tales at iba pang mga fiction books." 

Kaya ang mga Pilipino ay angat sa ganitong pagpapalimbag ng mga libro at iba pang gawain nagpapangat sa establisyemento. Ano kaya ang kanilang susi sa pag-angat nito? Ayon kay Gng. Gepalaga, marami silang gamit upang makalikom ng mga maraming impormasyon. Ang mga gamit na iyon ay hindi literal na GAMIT kung hindi mga kahalagahan sa pagpapa-angat ng establisyemento tulad ng paglikom ng impormasyon, brainstorming, inquiries, obserbasyon, surveying at analytical thinking. Hindi lang iyan, meron pa! May ginagamit silang diyagram na sanhi at bunga o sa kanila tinatawag na fishbone diagram. Ang maganda sa diyagram na ito ay nagpapakita kung ano ang sanhi na maaaring mangyari sa kanilang establisyemento at ang epekto nito. Nagagamit ito sa mga sitwasyon na maliliit na datos. Kailangan ang isang grupo ang mamimili ng problema na napakaimportante upang makita nila ang mga issues sa likod ng problema ng establisyemento. At saka nila masisigurado ang kahusayan ng nasabing establisyemento. Iyan ang kanilang susi sa pagpupundar ng kanilang establisyemento.



Una sa lahat, maraming salamat kay Gng. Gepalaga na binigyan kami ng oras sa pagpapanayam. Kaya kayo mga mahihilig sa pagpupundar ng kanilang negosyo pagdating sa pagbebenta ng libro at pagpapalimbag ng libro. ABA!, mabuti pa't magkaroon muna kayo ng inspirasyon tulad ng Merriam Webster Bookstore na nagsimula sa family business, ngayon pangkorporasyon na ang establisyemento. At maghanap ng istratehiya sa pagpupundar ng establisyemento.
