Spin101: Life at Random

Whew! Kaila mog hang over? It was like I just survived from a tornado blast that lasted for a week! I was not able to really enjoy the week-long Founders Day. How could I when my mind is full of nothing else but the materials for the yearbook? How could I possibly enjoy the different activities that were arrayed for this grand event when I have a bunch of things to do, people to communicate with, and a whole lot more? And how could I possibly feel the excitement when I'm all disappointed and upset by some people with crazy ideas and decisions? Geez... That was indeed one hell of a week! Anywayz, on the brighter side, we were finally able to submit the final materials for the printing of the yearbook. Yipppeee!!! We submitted everything right after the end of the Founders Day as we still need pictures from the Hugyawan Festival, the last activity. Our four-day stay in Iloilo was indeed a blast. Though most of our time there was spent proofreading, checking and editing, we still had ...

Someone: It just feels so awful knowing that the very person whom you consider to be the closest person in your life suddenly turns you down. The very person whom you consider to be the most important just look at you 'lowly'. Me: Huh? Hmmn... does it have something to do with _ _ _? Someone: Do you know the feeling when people ridicule you, and no one stands by you? No one defends you? Me: Duh... That just goes to show... and why would you care anyway? Don't you know that more people appreciate and admire you than those who scoff at you? Someone: (pouting) But I don't care about those people. What I only care about is how that person sees me and gives me even a little importance. Me: (shaken, but struggled to keep calm) So, you mean... Ai... just never mind... Someone: Do you know how bad it feels when that someone tells you, right in front of your face, that you are USELESS??? When that person yells at you, in front of your friends? It really hurts, you know.....

I really haven't thought that this moment will just come all of a sudden and catch us off guard. Can you believe it? The freakiest, craziest, and the most outrageous people that ever set foot on the surface of the earth, can also get veeerrryyy emotional. No, really..., kidding aside, I was like perturbed upon realizing that an "emotional outbreak" (*wink) is actually happening inside our office. The guys here who have been acting like a toughie have just shown their soft side and the girls have become "cry babies". Is this epidemic airborne or something, or does it have to do with the weather? Hmmn..., when did all of these start? Who initiated this lunacy? Is it because of this "walking enigma" who cut her hair to lessen her burden, or this "nomad wandering through Nowhereland" who suddenly realized that he has to give up his greatest vice . Well, actually, we can also put the blame on this certain "virus" which some of the Pyloni...

5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Happy Halloween!!! WE welcomed the Halloween with some sorts of absurdities tonight. Well, what else can you expect from a bunch of Pylonites who are spending the holidays in the office? We took a break from our yearbook tasks and decided to have a countdown for the Halloween in the open courts of our campus, also hoping to catch some spooky events around. We took crazy pictures of everyone and had so much fun. We then found out that we have additional company. It's not only us who had fun taking pictures... Geez..., isn't that spooky?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

I took this brain tes t once, and eventually, it revealed that I am balance-brained. This is the complete result of the test: Balance-brained That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation. When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over. While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker. The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the ...

Last night I had this bad dream... It really weird me out. I can no longer remember what it was about, but, what I'm sure of is that, it's just off the wall. It's kind of weird when you can no longer remember anything about your dream, but still it makes you feel so uncomfortable. I woke up gasping in the middle of the night, and there were tears in my eyes. I just continued crying after then. I don't know, but I just felt the need to do it. It's freaking me out, but I cannot remember even a single part of it. Ugh! I so hate those rotten dreams. When I woke up, the dream just vanished but the rotten feeling still remains. Anyway, guess what was the first song I heard this morning... It's James Carrington's "ACHE"!!! Ugh! Anyway, I'm still having that "last song syndrome" thingy that until now, I'm still singing it. Crap! It keeps on playing in my mind. James Carrington Lyrics Ache Lyrics Oh well, I think it's becoming my favor...

Presenting the Pylon official website's whole new look!!!! It's not yet totally done, but at least we can already see the improvement. Thanks to our great computer wizards ( whee! the red carpet, please! ). Good job, guyz. I wonder what those freaks ( the ones who are always bugging us to update our site ) will say now. Anyway, have a great weekend everyone! XOXO

It's such a tiring day! We started roaming around the city at 9 in the morning to distribute the letters for our yearbook ads. We have to travel under the scorching heat of the sun, stop at our potential advertiser's company, give them a nice smile, and try to sweet-talk them about advertising in the yearbook. Whoa! An exhausting day, indeed. I just hope even half of those companies we wrote a letter to will give us a positive response. We decided to accept advertisements for the yearbook this year to, at least, generate income for additional equipment and for trainings and seminars of the staff. Also, we want to provide relevant information to the graduates which could help them in their search for jobs later on. Anyway, nobody has responded as of yet. I just hope they will soon. Oh, and BTW..., I saw this article while I was looking for stuffs on the web, and I think this may come in handy for those who are living a very stressful lifestyle. Do you have heart attacks on your ...

I was browsing through my previous posts when I was able to read again my April 30 post. It's about that very big decision that I made in my life. I don't know why, but I was like, struck at this part of the post: "Seems like I really have so much to miss. Nevertheless, I left for good. I know, I made the right decision. I may have learned a lot, but I know that I can never grow there. It's like I am confined only in the areas they assign to me. And that is not the life that I want. Now, I found the place where I know I will learn more and better things- things that I am really interested at. I know, it is still too early for me to say this, but I know, that I just made the best decision in my life, so far." Did I really make the right decision when I decided to leave? I know I was very happy before being in the place that I choose. But, things really change. Maybe, I'm partly at fault because I know that I am not able to handle things perfectly. I don't ...

It has been quite a while since my last post. It's because of a helluva lot of stuffs that I need to accomplish. And, well, frankly, I ran out of things to rant. Not because my life became satisfying all of a sudden, but because I got confused of which one to seethe upon. Anywayz, I am actually in the middle of making some yearbook stuffs when I felt this need to blog. Okey, so what's the title again? Oh yup... These past few weeks, it was like I was in the middle of a hurricane. Nothing, of all those things that I did, seemed right anymore. I was confused and my brain was like not functioning at all. I have done silly stuffs. Silly, did I say? Nope, it's more than that. It was ridiculous, inane, harebrained. Ok, I know they mean the same thing, but it's totally S-T-U-P-I-D!!!!! I am certain of some things, yet I don't know why I am still frail on stuffs related to them. I mean, come on.... Hello? Will somebody thwack this insanity right off me? Yes, it was insanit...

I was alone in the office when my friend gave me a link to this video. I find it funny yet so saddening. Well, the guy seems to be just so stupid, that his stupidity already made him very insensitive to what the girl is trying to make him feel... Duh... But I like the song anyway. The singer seems so sincere. Then I thought, over-sincerity can also lead to insensitivity... Insensitivity to the point of not seeing (or trying not to see) the flaws in a relationship. Well, this song is an exaggeration, but it still has a point.

Dear Person Concerned, I want to begin my days anew, with the thought of becoming the person I want myself to be. I want to experience something different in my life-- something that I think is right and could make everyone around me happy. I want to learn form the real world-- from the words I read, the sounds I hear, the things I see, and the touches I feel. I want to live again... this time, without the thoughts of you. It has been quite while since I lived my life freely-- free from worries and fears, free from doubts and insecurities, free from you. Now, things already fell to their right places. All those questions I've been holding for so long are finally answered. Now I know where I really belong. Life is a journey filled with many choices, and the challenges and choices that I have now, helped me find the dreams that I know are meant true for me. I know what my heart yearns, but I also know that it's better for me to follow what my mind dictates. Forgetting about how I...

After more than a month of the agonizing wait (wink*), the results finally got out. And, as expected (kidding), Ate passed the Philippine Nursing Board Exams (Yippeee!!!) Congratulations, Sis...! You are now an RN... Continue to inspire and influence lives. Hope to see you soon. Luv yah!

I am supposed to make my article for the yearbook, but it seems that I am disturbed with something that I made a poem instead (haha) I just can't write when something is bothering me... ugh! The poem really shows what that something is. I can't think of a good title yet, but I'll share it to you anyway. Don't mind me when I rant, It's just myself that I am dissatisfied of. Don't console me when I cry, That will just make me hate myself more. Don't be happy for me when I laugh, What you see is not an expression of how I truly feel. Don't be deceived when I act, I do things without thinking it over first. Don't answer me with lies when I ask, I've had enough that it seems normal. Don't look at me when I look at you, I'm afraid you'll see what my eyes show. Don't help me out when I'm confused, That enigma may be the one you caused. Don't pull me up when I'm down, I just know where I really belong. Don't worry about me...

I was not a fan, actually, of this "male pageant", until I found out just recently that the new Hari ng Negros is from my very own hometown, Mabinay. I was not able to watch the pageant but upon looking at the pictures taken during that "big night", I can say that the spectators that night did not regret that they were there. From the stunning judges to the marvelous production, awesome set to the hot and gorgeous contestants, what else could they ask for? Here are some of the pictures I got from the Hari Ng Negros site : Whew! How's that? Want more pics? Just click HERE .

Whew... After so many times of applying and re-applying, my blog finally got accepted in PayPerPost . It is soooo awesome, really! Now, not only will I be able to write about the things that I love, I will also be earning out of it! I started blogging about a year ago, and I can still remember those petty posts that I write before... (giggles..) Blogging has become an outlet for my crazy ideas and weird imaginations. It has also become my diary when I cannot have somebody to listen to my babbles and balderdashes. I blog to express my sentiments, to rant about things, and to have something where I can pour out my madness to. It worked, really. Blogging for money has occurred to me when a friend introduced to me PayPerPost . Then I learned that blogging is never a waste of time. You get paid to blog about interesting stuffs through Pay Per Post. PPP provides bloggers with so many great opportunities, and, yup, they pay you for it. Amazing, isn't it? Now that blogging has already bec...

Jeesshh... That was like years! I was out the blogosphere for almost a month, but it was like forever! Oh well, now I'm back. Did anybody miss me? I, sure as heavens, miss everybody! Actually, I've been also busy lately. Busy, I say? A whole lot, really. I even have not had enough sleep. I guess, I just really have to bear with it by now, because I'm expecting worse things to come. Anywayz, we just gave our office a whole new skin! Yup, and that is, a really whole new look. I was really pleased with the result of our efforts, and I'm very thankful that I'm surrounded with the most creative and talented people in the whole wide world (wheew.. haha). Here are some pics taken during the face-lifting of the office. It was chaos at first... then, it started... Argey did his thing... then it became like this... and this... the result? taaddaaa...! See? The once plain, cream-colored office, now evolved to a colorful, ingeniously-painted one. Some students have already seen...
