After nth thousand times of trying to enter various passwords and going to the email ad that I thought the site would send the password to, I found out that the username itself was the one at fault. *insert curses and self-inflicted pain* I was finally able to login!
I’m back but I know I haven’t changed the layout and the appearance. Couldn’t be helped that the lazy bug bit me…HARD!
Well, I know classes have started and that I should focus on them more but I couldn’t help but cut one class yesterday just to head over Gateway and watch two movies: Batman Begins and Mr. And Mrs. Smith. The weather wasn’t exactly conducive for learning, but conducive for sleeping. “Chilly” weather. Hmmm…made me think about something someone said. Me, a snob? I don’t know, maybe, maybe not. I do know that I have this uncanny way of ignoring someone but I think to be snobbish is exaggerating how I am. Right? Well then, correct me if I’m wrong.
Today was eventful. After class, at 430, I attended the forum by Fr. Danny Huang called “Discernment in Time of Action.” This was in exchange for the cell prayer meeting that we were supposed to have. It was interesting and it did shed some light to the current situation of our country. In discerning this situation, one should take into consideration four points: accountability, constitutionality, non-violence and ability to govern. Then, even after looking into these points, we ask the question: Does our president still have the moral credibility and practicability to govern? Yes? I doubt it. It could have weakened and for some it could be totally lost. That is one way of assessing the situation. Even in the lecture room, one could really see that there is no definite stand. With other schools pushing out their stands to the public, it was expected that Ateneo would do the same, but it was in a discreet sort of way. During the talk, it was said that if a stand would be put out, then it should be a “unified stand.” But isn’t that being too ideal? Look into ourselves. Even by ourselves we cannot make a stand on the situation, how much more a community? This was one problem or discussion that the AtSCAns had after the talk. As an org, we should have a stand, but how can it be achieved if not everyone is clear about the situation, aware yes but not fully and understands it. What is expected from us now in the org is not just to be present in meetings and activities but to really immerse ourselves into as why we are doing it. Gone were the days when we were “babied,” as they say, for the freshies would be there to take that role. This time, it would be one step higher and I am prepared and willing to make that step. Why then did I join this org if not for this purpose?
Earlier, I had an IC with my cell leader or a bit of bonding time. I haven’t been active for the last 2 semesters and I missed a lot. I thought I wasn’t losing anything by not being present in the activities but I was wrong. We go to our areas for “babad” where we get to talk to our manangs and the children. I only went there a few times and I thought no one would remember me since they seldom see me. How wrong I was. My cell leader told me that during the times she would go to our area, there’s this kid who would always look for me. Isn’t that adorable? And that really went straight to my heart. Hard. Here I was, being so contented with my life, that I didn’t see that I could make a child happy by just being there. That was the affirmation I needed.
It’s amazing how the presence of one person can change how you feel, think and act. I am more focused, more serious, more satisfied, more organized. Is this me trying to prove something? I hope that this drive would not be lost. I need to see the path in front of my eyes before I can move, or else I would be immobile.
I am really such a romantic and imaginative that I sometimes merge both the worlds of reality and imagination that would have me distorted. Sometimes, I jump too far ahead and dote on it rather than just looking at what’s hanging in front of my eyes.
Yes! No classes on Friday. That would be the time that I would work on my portfolio for Heights and to study for Psychology. Such competition for the graphics staff! That’s why I would work doubly hard for my graphics, and find the right pixels and resolutions so that when I print it, it would not look amateurish. However, I still have doubts in myself whether I would be able to make a good (if not great) job out of it. I’m no passionate artist or “graphicist” (hehe!). I am able to make satisfactory work, that’s it…oh well, whether I get in or not wouldn’t kill me. At least I could say that I tried.
There’s this new artist called Courtney Jaye who sounds like Liz Phair (Extraordinary). I also recommend the movie If Only starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. Her leading actor is not one that would take your breath away but it would be the story itself. Be sure to place a box of tissue beside you and maybe a pillow, or better, someone who’ll you want to squeeze tight. ;p
