Winding Up

As part of our relax mode after the month-long review and exams, we had decided to celebrate the birthday of our friend Abbey at the UP Diliman. The original plan was, we will see each other by 10 AM but as usual, there were a lot of delays. We went there without any plans what should we do and where should we go.

Since, we didn't have our lunch yet, o my G! we spent almost 2 hours just by looking and finding where should we eat. While we were walking, I red the sign board of Cool Beans Cafe (Food and Books), we went inside and our yes were amazed, as in big wow. So we had decided that we can have our lunch there.

This Cafe offers hot and cold coffees, juice drinks, cupcakes and paninis. Unfortunately, I didn't tried it because I am still full after our lunch. They also offered rice meals like what we ate. While in their mini library, you can read about Philippine History, Novels like from Paulo Coelho and George Martin, Mythologies, Photography, Archie's, Pugad Baboy, national Geographic Magazines and many many many more.

Different design and sizes of picture frames and mirrors. One wall clock at the center to balance the interior

Mini library

National Geographic Magazines

I was reading about photography

I had so much fun reading and eating. Everyone must try and visit their cafe. And definitely, you will enjoy it. I swear tho they have not that good service when it comes to rice meals. They cooked a little bit slow. Peace!

Being the Only Girl

I am  the only girl in our family, and you know what I feel for that?? Mixed! Sometimes there is an advantage but mostly, I take it as disadvantage.

At first, I am enjoying it. Because whenever we had a quarrel or a fight with my younger brotha, our eldest take side on me. When I am asking for some stuffs to my father, he will give it to me, and my mum teaches me on how to be a girl.

But..... once I reached adolescence, big changes happened. Our guardian, my parents, my brothers even the younger one become stricter to me. They didn't allow me to go out with my friends especially when I'm with the boys (Seriously?? I can't live with it coz I am one of the boys), when I am texting, they always have a doubt who I am texting for, and because I am good at my academics, they don't want me to enter into a relationship or else, once I failed, they will blame the boy. Sometimes, you cannot avoid to feel that you're being prison without steel bars.

And now, I am trying to avoid my suitors and my guy/boy friends. To avoid any blame when I failed my Comprehensive Exams.

You know what, you don't know if  they're just being protective or they don't trust you either. 

HWAG ABUSUHIN ANG IBANG TAO.

Mula nung nagaral ako dito sa Manila, marami na kong napansin na hindi kanais nais na gawain ng iba't ibang klaseng indibidwal. Ngayong araw na to, gusto ko lang sana ibahagi ang aking karanasan sa pagsakay sa mga PEDICAB/TRICYCLE. Knina, dahil sa aalis na ung bus na sasakyan ng kapatid ko, ayun. Nagmadali ako from Chowking para bumili ng lunch nya, then sumakay ako ng pedicab going to Victory Liner. Hindi po yun kalayuan, pwede ngang lakarin e, kaso dahil sa time, napilitan ako. And I was so shocked when they told me P30 po ang bayad. Haller. Parang from PRC to FEU nga lang e. Dahil ayokong mabadtrip saka nagmamadali nako dahil aalis n nga ung bus, okay, nagbayad na lang ako. May mga tao talagang aabusuhin ka, minsan they are OVERPRICING kasi makikita nila na BATA ka pa, o kaya, mukha kang may kaya, mukhang kaya mong magbayad. Pare-parehas po tayong nangangailangan ng pera, alam ko po, nagsusumikap lang din po kayo para sa pamilya niu pero po sana, wag naman po kayong mangabuso ng ibang tao. Oo bata pa po ako saka babae pa, pero hindi po un dahilan para itake advantage niu po ang sitwasyon.

Sana, kung sino man po ang tamang institusyon na namamahala para sa mga Pedicab/Tricycle Drivers, sana naman po, may mga guidelines naman po kayo kung anu o paanu po ang tamang presyo ng pamasahe sa partikular na lugar o kung ilang kilometro ang tatahakin. At ito ay dapat sundin. Nang sa ganun, maiwasan po ang OVERPRICING. It will apply to all not for a particular group of people. Minsan, nasa atin ang problema kung bakit hindi umuunlad ang isang komunidad, kahit gaano kagaling ang mag lider kung ang mga tao nito ay walang disiplina, wala po tayong patutunguhan.

Pati rin po sa mga Taxi Drivers, kahit may metro na, nagpapadagdag pa rin sila. Dahil madami kayo o kaya dahil malayo. (ilang beses na kaming nakaranas ng gnyan ng aking mga kaibigan)

Down to Up

These past few days, I feel so disoriented. I mean, my goal, my motivation, everything turned down after our Prac1 (Financial Accounting Practical) Prelim Examination. It was a 3-hour exam but they extended it into 4-hour exam. You're shock? 'Coz it's too long, right?? Yea, it was a good opportunity to finish the exam, unfortunately, after two hours, I got tired, my brain stop thinking, its not functioning, even my hands cannot jive into what I want to do. In short, I stopped answering, another reason also was, my migraine attacked while I am having our exam. 

But what me sad even more? The feeling that I should not give up. First of all, its not on my list this semester to give up, sometimes, I maybe lazy but I never give up, on that moment, I didn't know what really happened, am also confused.

If you are an Accountancy student, you should possess the "never give up" attitude.

After more than a week, still I am trying to cope up, trying to forget it, though I know the fact that I never pass it when half of the time, I just made a guess. That's truly a miracle if ever that I can still get 75 huh, even 60. It was hard to move on especially when you studied that particular subject for more than a week but I am struggling, I don't know why I can't answer those problems. The important thing now is, I am still trying to be positive. It was just prelim, 25% of my grade, there are still 75% remaining. i am ready to fight again, and this time, I will do everything to pass all the subjects. I can do this!
