Buglasan Fever

Every year, the province of Negros Oriental holds the majestic Buglasan Festival. I didn't get the chance to fully enjoy the festivities, but, geeez, I'd slap myself if I wouldn't be able to at least see the booths, the street parade, and the grand fireworks display. Luckily, the other Pylonites shared the same sentiments with me (wink). So, we didn't miss the chance to take pictures of this annual event. I am sharing here some of our pics:
I saw this tag in divinediu 's blog. Though she did not really tag me at all, I just felt like tagging myself with this... lol... I am : outlandish (really...) I think : of stuffs that shouldn't be thought of... I know : that things change and nothing is really permanent (even people) I want : a quiet and peaceful weekend alone... I have : done the same mistake over and over again (I hate to admit this, but I still do it) I wish : I'm stronger... I hate : the people who also hate me I miss : my old self I fear : being not good enough... I hear : my favorite song right now...("♪♪Do you ♫ have to, ♫do you have to ♪, do you have to let it linger ♪♫♫") I smell : the heavenly aroma of morning coffee... I crave : for pizza and ice cream... (slurp) I search : for true happiness and answers to my questions... (well, who doesn't?) I wonder : if I could right all my wrongs... I regret : a lot of things. The mistakes I made and the things that I haven't had the cour...

16 Ways to Manage Your Anger

Life is full of frustrating moments — here are some helpful tips from: http://www.realsimple.com/ Anger Style : Explosive What It Looks Like: “If you leave your jacket on the floor one more time, I’m leaving you!” It may take a lot to push you over the edge, but when you get there, the earth shakes and people run for cover. It may take a lot to push you over the edge, but when you get there, the earth shakes and people run for cover. Why You Might Do It: If you were never taught how to deal with irritation, you may habitually swallow it until you can swallow no more. Eventually your top will blow. Some people are anger junkies, who get off on the adrenaline rush of an emotional explosion, not to mention the fact that the onslaught can mean they get their way — at least in the short term. The Damage: It is virtually impossible to feel empathy and anger simultaneously, so in the heat of the moment, you are more likely to say and do overly harsh things that you later regret. How to Turn...

“Anger is only a natural reaction; one of the mind's ways of reacting to things that it perceives to be wrong. While anger can sometimes lead people to do shocking things,it can also be an instinct to show people that something isn't right.” I know I've been harsh on that last post I made. I know it affected some people and caused them pain. I know my limitations, and as far as I know, I haven't exceeded ( if you may call it that ) them. I know how others would react to it, and that is what I wanted. I know it would affect them, but through it they'll know that I'm serious and I want to get down to business now. I've been keeping it all inside. And when I made that post, it's as if all the bitterness and rage that I've been keeping inside found a leak and took advantage. Maybe I haven't thought it much. If you only saw me when I made that post, maybe you'll understand. If the words I used caused you so much pain and humiliation, I'm sorry...

On friendship and duties... (To whom it may concern)

I am fuming and seething right now! I really want to wreck the necks ( sorry for the phrase ) of some people!!! I don't know until how long will I be able to bear the headaches that they have been causing me. It's just so enraging knowing that they are just laughing and talking ill stuffs about me while I am already on the point where I wanna throw stuffs here! The nerve! I don't know how they still get so nervy as to not standing on their words. Is it because they just treat me as somebody whom they can easily fool? Is it because they just consider me as the frail and flimsy person whom they can easily dupe? I've been through enough of them already. Now, I know that you can never trust the same people forever. Oftentimes, they let you trust them for some selfish, shrewdly calculated, cerebral reason. Now, I learned to put a gap between friendship and duties. There should always be that huge barricade between the two, especially when it concerns stuffs that could affect...

Coping up...

It's becoming super busy lately... We are already on the "full-blast mode" ( as we call it ). This is the time when we have to spend sleepless nights in the office to make the dummy of the yearbook and lay-out the pages. I haven't gone home yet and it's already lunch time. My days now start at 8 am and ends at 3 am. I just go home to take a bath and change ( our house now serves as a bathroom to me...lol) Whoa! There are so many things to do yet so little time to do all of them. Aside from taking charge in the dummy-making, I also have to supervise and help in the lay-outing. Plus, I got to do the dealings for the yearbook ads, provide meals for the "frogs" ( the pipz here ), edit the articles, follow-up some other stuffs, and a whole lot more... ( h-e-l-p!!! ) My mom now complains that I no longer go home. I haven't seen my ate and my dad for like how many weeks already because when I go home ( to take a bath and all ) they are out for work... (sigh...

Pylon IPR '08

whew! finally, we were able to find time to relax and unwind. We just had a two-day IPR and it was super fun! Here are some of the pics we took during that activity.

Got to deal with a lot of Sanguines!!!

We just had our first-ever Pylon IPR last weekend. It was so F-U-N!!! Though it was exhausting,still all our efforts are paid off. One of the activities we had there was knowing our personality profile through taking a test. The test revealed that I am a Perfect Melancholic type. Here is the result of the test: Your personality is Melancholy Phlegmatic. Melancholy Strength:9 Weakness:14 57% Phlegmatic Strength:7 Weakness:4 28% Sanguine Strength:4 Weakness:1 13% Choleric Strength:0 Weakness:1 3% Actually, it's really not a question. All the descriptions there of a melancholic individual pertains to me. Geez..., and I got to deal with a lot of Popular Sanguines ( Oh goodness gracious... help!!! )! According to the profile, melancholics are always contrary to sanguines. Here are the characteristics of both personality types: Melancholic (The Introvert/The Thinker/The Pessimist) Strengths: The Melancholy's Emotions * Deep and thoughtf...
