First Sem Mayhem

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 13:51:45 GMT

I'm completely happy about the idea that the semester is about to end, three weeks if my guess is right. The sad thing is that this sem completely outranks the other years of college in terms of stress and hassle. I listed down the things I need to do before I can safely say that the sem has come to a complete and successful end and unfortunately ended at around 40. Here are some of the things that I can draw out of memory:

CD 126 Training- This endeavor kills all my weekends and is pretty much present during my nightmares
CD 122 Case Study- Hoping this one pushes through without much duress.
Voices in Harmony Elims- Happening this weekend. Wish me the best, please lang!
Polsci 11 Final presentation- no plans for this one yet.

I seriously forgot about the others but they sure are hell as important than the ones I shared. If you include the things that I already accomplished, then it will just be insane. Sabi ko nga, pag natapos ko 'tong sem na 'to at buhay pa ako, wala na akong kayang gawin.

Yeah right.

The good thing about the end of the sem is that the 51st Annual Convention will be waiting to provide more stress, my kind of stress. Well 'til next time friends.

Changing My Lens(es).

I like the ways things are going for CMLI, I love the drive and commitment that the people have. I know what we are doing is part of a huge transition stage, experimental at the very least. I’m very excited to deal with all the workload that a unified branch of Junior Council will have to face. Things like these only fan the flame that drives each and every active member of this glorious organization.

I know that all the members of the Junior Council (NEB, REB and AA) are aware of the current struggles that CMLI is facing. Why is it easy for others to just simply fizzle out? This always brought me down, I sometimes ask myself if I am fighting a lost cause, or I just simply can not move on from my era. Having lackluster attendance during general assemblies and meetings always depresses me. Even the non-reply of others makes me mad and at some point I think that they don’t even care.

Having a close working relationship with the remaining people made me realize that I was using a wrong tool in analyzing the situation. Instead of looking at those who are not present, I should be happy and inspired by the people who stick it out through thick and thin. Those who reply to notices, attend meetings and work. To them I am grateful.

My personal issue is not with people not attending, but with people who appear to be indifferent with the tasks at hand. Those who don’t reply and simply acknowledge that they can’t join. For those who do, my thanks. For those who don't we, are taught professionalism. I think this is a time for us to implement it.

Mommy B day was a great refresher for me and hopefully to others, I have never seen such a well represented activity where I saw the Junior Council as it truly is, united.

There are a lot of things in our plate right now, the Youth Summit, the proposed Constitutional Convention and much awaited convening of the Youth Congress in Baguio. Just thinking of these things inspires me and at one point making me feel comfortable that we are realigning our efforts as Mommy B envisioned.

I love CMLI, I just can’t say that enough.

Smells Like School

Thu, 14 May 2009 15:07:46 GMT

I have less than a month of freedom from academic requirements. This summer has been so-so.

Feel like eating Sansrival or those sylvanas that Red Ribbon sells.

Warping Time

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 14:43:19 GMT

You focus yourself with a lot of things, some useful, some you'd live to see another day without doing. There are moments that make you realize that damn, its been a while! Two recent instances made me realize this and darn it hits hard.

I still recall the time when graduation was in my consciousness either as a graduate myself or dear friends graduating and stepping up to the next level. If everything goes well and down to the last dot, I'd march by next March else its going to be at the most October for me.

I guess the point of this entry is to react to the ever zooming pace of time, warping faster everyday (and shit, making me older another day) making memories of years ago seem to just happen yesterday. This is me missing the old times but just have to bear the present (which might turn out good also anyway).

If you are my friend/batchmate/enemy/relative/acquaintance or stranger and you are graduating on time/ahead of time/self timed or time has passed you by, I have one thing to say. ~~I love being a student!~~ Congratulations!!! Ilibre niyo naman ako pag may trabaho na kayo!

On Mall Masses and Student Politics

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:01:15 GMT

I find the idea of holding masses spank in the middle of a mall, where people hell-bent at shopping and spending money. I find this hilarious because as I type this entry in my mobile, a mass is being celebrated in front of Krispy Kreme where I enamor myself with six hundred calories.

I just find it odd that people after getting ashed with a cross on their foreheads just simply slip away and return to the haze of buying or imagining having the money to buy something. (I usually do the second one). Those retards just made the whole idea of hearing mass completely irrelevant. And while I'm sitting here while the people sing the Ama Namin a girl just sipped coke and ate fries in between the song. What shizz is that? I know that in the Philippines the state a Church are ass connected twins but I'm sure the church and movies aren't even cousins.

The people who hear mass just to feel holy are just silly for wasting their time.

In other news, I voted electronically today, up yours pre-Melo COMELEC! I didn't die, My fingers were not eaten by the keyboard and as a treat gad the chance to surf a bit. I hope ASTIG wins most if not all seats in the council.

In a couple of hours we will find out.

Before I cut this novel, I'd like to say that I miss my mom right about now and I've been in a frantic siomai eating frenzy lately I crave for the treat I can't explain why I just feel like having siomai a lot.

CMLI Annual Convention vs. NDC Davao

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:57:13 GMT

It is every bit as confusing because both activities fall on the much anticipated last week of October. Nationals is on the 19th-27th while Annual Convention falls on the 25th-29th. First of all, I'm not sure if I'll be selected to join the Convention in Baguio but I'm sure that I'll be in Davao for Nationals either to adjudicate or to debate, my fate will rest on my performance in the try-outs on Saturday.

Resolution

For the meantime the resolution is this:
Have my flight back to Manila changed from 27th of October to the 24th or 25th just in time to make the mad dash to Baguio. I will adj instead of debate so that if in case I break as an adj and if I leave I won't rob anyone of the chance to make it to octos in case I break as a debater.

However the issue of being shortlisted into the selection of Alumni in CMLI still leaves me guessing, pero naisip ko na pag di ako kasama sa list, aakyat pa rin ako at my own expense. Yes, ganun ko kagusto pumunta sa 50th Convention ng 50th batch ng NEB.

Sayang kasi yung ticket na nabili ko nung July pa, gusto ko rin naman mag-Nationals kaso sure naman ako na hindi ko aabutan ang next 50 years ng CMLI.

080808 and Kopi Bun Saves the Day

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:19:03 GMT

Could it be excitement? Perhaps diligence or better yet stupidity that I barely slept through the evening and I must admit this is a long night. A night crammed with "work" and study.

7pm- Dinner
8pm- Voices in Harmony Meeting call time
830-ish meeting starts
840-ish meeting adjourns
9pm- change venue, Fazoli's Eastwood
11pm- back home
1130pm- Art Stud One (ASO)
1230am faux nap
2am- Resume academic slavery
420am suspend academic slavery (will resume 6am)

Packed evening. If you are little bit interested I'm studying Egyptian art, arguably it is the best topic ASO has so far I find the pyramids astounding to say at the very least. I can like vomit Egpyt terms like Hierakonpolis, Nefertiti, Hapshetsut, Tutankhamen, Ka-Aper, Sneferu, Khufu, Khafre, Menkure, Aten, Akhenaton, Answar Dam, mummification Rosetta Stone, Pikachu and Son Goku.

What thrills me is the effectiveness of the Kopi Roti Bun in keeping me awake, the thing is a bun but tastes like Kopi Roti coffee. I was supposed to leave give it as pasalubong but starving at 3am makes you forget about certain things.

While waiting for the sun to rise i hopped into this funny clip featuring geek idol Leo Laporte the clip is about the Ultimate Gaming Machine which means that back in 1998 (when we had to pay around 2000 per month for dial-up internet and eudoralight was the best e-mail machine) this was the gaming god.

Funny. By the time I had this kind of set-up it was I think year 2000 or 2001 so that makes me a millennium late.

Midsem Mayhem

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:50:13 GMT

Based on my calculation it is already midsem and I assume that I should only churn out two and a half months worth of effort to get good grades in my GE subjects (aka subjectsthatprolongone'scollegelife). Community Development subjects remain interesting especially development theories, can't wait for us to discuss Marx's theory.

I still find it weird that my Art Studies class is more demanding as a subject than any of my majors combined. Art Stud really is a nice subject but the pace our professor is going kind of leaves me gasping for air and brain cells.

Voices in Harmony Orsem was a blast, 23 schools participated in the first ever Workshop Seminar featuring Jonathan Velasco (just google his name). Generally it was nice to see the AA group again. Elims here we go!

Dahil buwan ngayon ng wika French ang next entry ko.

Voices Goes Full Circle

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:49:17 GMT

Nakakatawang isipin na inabot na ng isang taon at isang araw ang huling Voices in Harmony 9 Orientation Seminar. Isang taon at isang araw na nang makita ang 26 na interesadong mga paaralan (18 lang ang tumuloy sa elims, 8 ang pinalad makapasok sa finals at isa lang ang nag-uwi kay Aria) na makipagtagisan ng galing at lakas sa isa sa mga premyadong kompetisyong pangkoral para sa hayskul sa Kalakhang Maynila. Sa Bulwagang Pampulong ng Claret naganap ang nasabing okasyon, naghain ng mamon ng Goldilocks at nagpainom ng Refresh.

Ngayong taon, gaya ng nakasanayan na, patuloy ang pag-angat ng kalidad in Voices in Harmony sa pag-apak nito sa una nitong dekada. Inilunsad na bagmat hindi pa tapos ang website (upakan na yung nagmementena ng website). Magkakaroon ng unang Conductor's Workshop na pamumunuan ng pangulo ng PCDA na si G. Jonathan Velasco kasabayan ng OrSem na magaganap sa ikalawa ng Agosto sa Bulwagang Faura, Pamantasan ng Ateneo de Manila sa Katipunan. Marami pang ilalabas ang Voices in Harmony sa taong ito kaya magabang-abang lang.

In other news:

First sem is stress sem. What the hell should I expect from the second sem?
CD 121 (Development Theories) is interesting and challenging because at the end of the semester we must formulate our own theory for development. Honestly, I'm still stuck at the idea of brain washing all human beings and letting manatees run the world like how Southpark portrays the creators of Family Guy.
I ~~need~~ want an iPhone or camera
I ~~want~~ need a laptop badly (mobility, aobility cobility)
I am once again trying to shed the pounds
I am reconsidering taking econ in favor of political science or a media related course for my elective
I am such a spender (mostly on food) I must to cut expenses (yeah, but how?)

That is it for now.

Cheers for 20 Years!

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:31:57 GMT

Its the big 20. Nothing has changed except for the fact that my brother teases me for being to old.

I'll keep it simple. Thanks to those whose attended and extra thanks to those who surprised me by simply being there. Dana and James were the surprise of the evening, not because they arrived but the fact that they arrived and left at the same time. The previous statement was a joke and must be disregarded.

On to a different plane, being 20 is a sign that things should change in the long run, I know 20 is still young and that life is still ahead of me but I have come to fully realize a certain reality that genetically, I am in the track of my older relatives huge predisposition for diabetes, cirrhosis (seerosees) and kidney failure. The resolution now is clean living. Now, this did not come as a general result of being wasted half my wit last night (and yes I got wasted and puked for the first time. Suko ako kina Haron Jojo and Justin the demigods of swigging) but a result of a long pondering. Enough said, I stand by this, and yes this is doable!

Either jogging, football or hitting the gym will now be a part of my schedule. I have already kicked out pork and beef already and the rest is just coming to place.

Let me conclude this entry by saying thanks to all and hopefully I get another 5 sets of 20 years!

PIDC starts in 24 hours

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 23:29:56 GMT

I'm not debating this time, helping out with the logistics team. Go Diliman!

Since we have PIDC official summer clock starts ticking after the 7th. No summer classes for me since I wasn't lucky enough to grab a slot in bio class and since econ classes haven't been cropping up in the online enlistment slacking off this season will be the last resort (well not really slack off). Thinking fully repainting my room which I stopped doing a few months ago.

Summer

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:40:18 GMT

Out of sheer boredom I counted the remaining number of classes remaining this semester and starting tomorrow, we only have six meetings left and among those six meetings I still have to prepare for five long exams, one term paper and an obento design. these will all have to be crammed in a span of 2 weeks. Surviving this semester would be glorious because I can finally forget that UP has a Math Department because I've taken all the Mathematics subjects required for my course.

After this slow two weeks is two months of sheer lethargy. I'm drooling already.

Work Work Work!

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 10:59:29 GMT

I remember posting several months ago about a lingering issue of what is the next step after a get a degree in Community Development. Will I pursue law, MA or Phd. perhaps? The reason I dwell on this is that to be honest, unless I am wrong, after I get a BSCD degree there really is no immediate career that I can readily pursue that will satisfy both need and satisfaction of doing something relevant with my life. For example someone who has a degree in Accountancy may take the qualifying exam to be a CPA same is true for Social Work graduates. Simply put it, there is a clear cut path to a standardized career. Community Development albeit it's capacity to transform the lives of the grass roots has no standardized board, there is no such thing as a Community Development Professional that is recognized and standardized by the government, hence the absence of definitive career after graduation that would equalize service and personal growth.

This leads me to a much pondered issue: Where to I want to work in the future? I have long considered and until the first semester of this academic year taking up Law. Apparently after a decade of being my goal, it just died out. The temporary plan is to seek a goal so I can work backwards and set myself up to achieve it.

I never dream small, I want to travel while working and I want to work with the best. This has been sort of my standards for looking for a possible company or organization to work for/with.

Enter United Nations. Yes, I have long considered and I am taking the necessary steps to work possibly in Humanitarian Affairs Department and to lay down the tracks I need to work on the following:

QUALIFICATIONS

Education
Advanced University degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in political or social science, international studies, public administration, economics or in a technical (e.g. engineering, earth sciences, etc.) or related fields. A first level university degree with a relevant combination of academic qualifications and experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.

Work Experience
At least two years of progressively responsible experience are required, of which experience of working in the field in humanitarian emergency efforts is highly desirable.

Languages
Fluency in spoken and written English or French; knowledge of a second UN language is an advantage and sometimes a requirement. Fluency in the local language may be essential.

Taken from the UN website. Right now I am pursuing a degree in Community Development, which I am hoping to be under the "related fields" and I am pretty sure I want to take most if not all my electives in Economics (I kinda gasped on that one because of the understood level of difficulty). Ideally I want to take up Masters in Development Economics to further suit the criteria. I will be willing to work anywhere relevant in my future application probably in government or any NGO. The only challenge on the Languages part is the "spoken and written French" which would further entice me to continue learning French and some other language.

Learning about this recharges my drive to do better at school not just waiting for the day to end so I can retreat to studying something else or plain slacking off. I hope I am wrong about my whole analysis of the Community Development career. In the end, UN is a goal and I'm starting to work backwards.

Macbook Air

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 01:27:08 GMT

I believe that aliens exist and are slowly taking over the world, and in order to do so they must amass heaps of money. They will obviously get the cash from varied sources for instance, owning a computer company. Proof of my theory is Apple, and their global domination of the computer kind. Domination devices include ipod (Classic, Nano, Photo, Touch) Mac series Apple TV, the Macbook (which i continue to wish to own) the Macbook Pro (a dream) and others. This invasion has taken another step, Macbook Air.

It's so thin its anorexic using this in public would make the other laptops look like whales. At its thicket point its 0.76 in and still boasts a 13 inch screen and a full size keyboard which you don't normally see in lilliputian laptops. It packs two gigs of ram and wireless + bluetooth, 80 gig HD. Sadly it still shares the video memory with the ram and doesn't have an onboard optical drive, to have one you have to purchase the usb optical drive (in my opinion is a bane of portability). Brilliantly alien enough is the wireless capability of Air to utilize the different optical media devices that other systems may have (PC or Mac) via our beloved wireless connection. What made me laugh so hard was the new tricks you can to using the track pad, which they adapted from the iphone such as pinching the pad to resize images and text size, switching pages using three fingers and the like. Funny.

All in all its a visual treat but at US$1799 I'd rather go with the Macbook Pro (assuming I have money for any of them) by shelling additional US$ 200 I get more. Aesthetically I'll grab the Air, bang-for-the-buck-wise, I'd go for the Macbook or Macbook Pro.

One for 2007

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 15:33:01 GMT

Yes, it has been ages since my last post. I've always had the urge to write (or type) things but never had the drive to do so.

Here it goes...

9th Voices in Harmony was successful! Kudos to the CMLI Junior Council Alumni Association for delivering an unparalleled choral competition. Special thanks to those who helped in every way possible. Special thanks to the ViH team who stuck it out with me for a whole year. Pretty much excited for the 10th Voices in Harmony.

Congratulations to the Music Appreciation Club (which should aptly be renamed ViH Appreciation Club) of St. Paul Pasig for sailing home with Aria. Cheers to St. Scholastica's College of Manila and Ramon Magsaysay (Cubao) High School for bagging 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

After several months of focusing on ViH, NDC and a lot of peripheral things I've decided to fix things here at home, I've officially moved to a new room (which technically was my old room) I've repainted it (yes this is a do-it-yourself project) from a calm blue-green to a feisty red (international red as Boysen would call it), had an exhaust vent installed to suck out the heat from my room. Had the chance to put in a queen sized bed all for myself >:) I've yet to purchase blinds to replace the curtains that horde in dust and a cooling unit that requires ice to emulate the coldness of an air-con unit. If i have the time, I'd make the side tables that I designed as well as my corner table to place this chunk of technology called a computer.

If lethargy leaves me, the room renovation project will be done before January 2008.

I am once again not in the mood to type.

Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays) and a Happy New Year to you.

Transit

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:10:59 GMT

While I'm typing this entry I am eternally bugged by the pain in my jaw, I'm not sure if its really an ear infection, wisdom (fucking) tooth or some anomaly caused by my popped brackets. The pain is too much to bear, but didn't stop me from pigging out during the despidida and typing this entry.

Yes, you read right, there was such an affair.

My Tito and his family whom we share the roof with will be leaving for Colorado tomorrow evening, I wish them the best there. Funny how the whole process of moving there took less than a month and how a lot of things had to be arranged immediately. Break-neck. Well that leaves us four in the house, and talk about space, it will suddenly feel so empty without my two cousins running around. Nyak, enough drama.

There has been so much planning in lieu of the recent developments, and I feel such planning is another avenue for me to slip into "imaginary mode". Like my slow and gradual desire to pursue a career abroad (U-and-N) working probably in USA or somewhere in Africa (assuming that UN has some level of power there). Finally a more concrete direction for the future after I graduate from Community Development. This has been an issue after starting to (with a heavy heart) think that being a lawyer won't be much of a convenient thing for me. (read Neil Cruz' column in Phil. Daily Inquirer, November 3 I think). Looking for a development kinda work is a thought that has been creeping in my mind aside from a pressing issue which I'm equally having a hard time thinking of.

Question: Development Work or Law?

The hell, I still have two or three years to think about it!

All these questions point at the gruesome reality that I will have to work my ass off for money, which is a good thing and a bad thing depending on my mood. However, its just now that these types of question float, because I'm getting older. *gags*

I am haunted by the thought that in 5 months or so, I'll be 20! Effing no! Bye teenage life, hello wrinkles and prostate cancer (scratch the last one). So for those in the brink of losing their teenage years, HAHA!

For those who still don't know shit about what they're feeling, a quote was sent tome by Alistair: (garbled up since we kinda deleted it both)

"You know you're in love if you start asking the question; Am I good enough."

Oi may tinamaan at napaisip!

Enough shit.

On Running and Tickets

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 15:32:11 GMT

I plan to do several things tomorrow, starting with the ViH ticket distribution, I still have 4 schools to dole out the tickets to, and hopefully none of them would be sent back. Second would be finishing all paperwork that I have left from the past semester. I suddenly recalled that I wasn't able to settle my underassessment fee from first sem I want to clear it up ASAP.

It's funny how the computerized registration system attempts to make things easier but in the long run make it more confusing, up until now, I'm not sure how to go about the whole process of enlistment to payment added to the fact that I still lack two subjects and one PE makes things more crappy.

I also plan to do several loops around the Acad Oval, me trying to be healhty just in time for the pigging out this Christmas. Afterwards its Claret for me for the PSDC training with the DebSoc.

That's my day.

Carlo's Early Christmas Wish List

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:19:56 GMT

Since Christmas comes early in the Philippines I'll be posting my holiday wish list as early as now. Reasons? So that the people stalking for what to get me (hopefully relatives) won't get my whims wrong and start saving up another is it helps me drain all my frustrations of not having these things at all. Blogging in a way greatly helps in the fantasizing.

And finally, the Christmas 2007 Wish List:

1.) A female Mini Schnauzer (this is a dog and I prefer a female type for breeding purposes)- The moment I saw one in Tiendesitas, it gave a reason to want to have dogs again, even if they shit on the floor and all they do is bark and sleep and eat more expensive food than I do. Price: 18,000 Php (negotiable) Available at: Tiendesitas, Pasig City.

2.) Apple Macbook (in extreme thickness Macbook Pro)- This needs no explanation at all, in essence goodbye Windows, hello Mac with all its stable glory. I'm leaning towards the end of multimedia and I'm trying to incorporate it into my field (Community Development) because I feel that there is a lackluster in that domain which can greatly help. Price: 1099-3500 USD Available at your nearby Apple Store.

3.) Canon EOS 400D - Click click! Taking pictures has been of great interest to me ever since I was ten, I remember asking for a camera for my 10th birthday and the one that they gave me was a Kodak KB 10 camera (the most basic analog camera that existed) and I had loads of fun with it. Too bad the addiction wasn't sustained because the cost of film for a kid wasn't really practical compared to now where digital photography allowed maximum camwhorrage. I also plan to document images during my field immersions and have them printed as well, so that the emotions and all the things that come along with it may be sustained. Price: I don't want to know Available at Quiapo or any Canon Retailer.

I really don't expect any of these things to be wrapped and placed under the tree (especially the dog because it'll only be good for pulutan) because of their price tags but imagining these kinds of toys (again excluding the dog) is so much fun to do.

But if anyone reading this blog is a relative of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Santa Claus, making a kid happy on Christmas Day isn't really too much of a bad thing.

End of imagination. Back to the real world.

Sat, 20 Oct 2007 11:30:47 GMT

It sucks bigtime to be in a situation that you didn't really cause but you are the one suffering regardless. This sucks...
It was never hard to begin with to tell me that there would be delays, much worse, the fact of the delay was only mentioned on the spot, kinda weird. I could have looked for another service provider.

What makes it weird is the fact that I thought that the planning and setting-up was to be the fastest and is something that is mutually beneficial.

I was wrong...

Voices in Harmony Finals Night

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:45:35 GMT

Reality Bites

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 10:17:36 GMT

First things first, 9th ViH Eliminations is now part of AA history with Ateneo de Manila High School, St. Scholastica's College Manila, Ramon Magsaysay (Cubao) High School, St. Paul College Pasig, Stella Maris High School, PAREF Woodrose School, Inc. and Colegio de San Juan de Letran forming the Magic 8. Congratulations.

I never imagined the Elimination Round proper would run that smooth, given that we were undermanned for the event, which leads to the conclusion that the organization is the best when it comes to these kinds of activities. In the end, the whole thing was fun.

I would like to thank the JCAA family who helped physically, emotionally, spiritually and morally especially the Execomm and Kuya Charlz, Kuya Earl, Ate Maan and the ViH '07 Team: Basti, Ker, Mel, Jr and the Creative Committee as well as 2k6 and all those who helped.

Before this turns into an Academy Award acceptance speech, I'd like to invite everyone to the Finals Night of the 9th Voices in Harmony on December 2, 2007 5:00pm at the Fleur de Lis Auditorium, St. Paul University Manila.

Doing tons of things at a given time distorts one's perception of what reality is. This occured last week, in extreme tension and excitement over the elims of ViH and the Induction activities and other concerns for the Debate Society shifted my perception from school to orgs. I am after all still a student, something that I forgot these past two weeks.
It only occured to me recently that the end of the sem is near and I have to study for a dreaded Math 2 exam (yes, Math in any level/number is daunting for me). All my other subjects are ok, and what's interesting is that at the worst I would be taking two final exams for this sem. Since Geog 1, Comm 3 and CD 100 (which I completely assume) don't have final exams it leaves Math 2(barfs) and CD 11 as the two main subjects that I have to ace. (last word purely tokenistic)

Looking forward to NDC tryouts (which I thank God for the resceduling) hopefully I make it into one of the UPD teams. In any recourse, there's no stopping me from going to Bagiuo during the sem break.
