VOLTES V

Waaaahh!

I feel kind of depressed today. Yesterday, during our Physics Lab class, our prof let us compute our own midterm grade. Everything was given back to us, like the quizzes, experiments, problem sets and yes, including the midterm exams of both the lecture and lab... and surprise! i got a failing grade of 5 in Physics (lecture).

I really don't know why i am taking an engineering course. Well, i would still pick Computer Engineering (CoE) than any other engineering course since i like (i guess) computers. This is not the first time i failed a subject. The first time i received a failing mark was in my Drawing subject. But hey, who needs a Drawing subject in CoE? We're not Civil Engineers! Stupid curriculum.

This semester, my Integral Calculus is also in danger. I got a midterm grade of 4. I really don't know what's happening to me. Is it me or is it just the subject. I want my computer subjects, not these mathematics.

Anyways, "5" got its new meaning to me.

The Way My Ideas Think Me

by Jose Garcia Villa


The way my ideas think me
Is the way I unthink God.
As in the name of heaven I make hell
That is the way the Lord says me.

And all is adventure and danger
And I roll Him off cliffs and mountains
But fast as I am to push Him off
Fast am I to reach Him below.

And it may be then His turn to push me off,
I wait breathless for that terrible second:
And if He push me not, I turn around in anger:
“O art thou the God I would have!”

Then He pushes me and I plunge down, down!
And when He comes to help me up
I put my arms around Him, saying, “Brother,
Brother”… This is the way we are.

Whatever.

Oh my... Whatever.

Today is Valentine's day. Did you know guys that i got dumped twice by two different girls (of course, at different times/years) before Valentine's day? That is why this day is kind of traumatic. I did not ask anyone for a date today. Well, my first time to ask someone out was like a year ago. I asked her as early as January to be my Valentine (or "Valentina" in my case, LOL) and she said she would think of it. I think that was like the last week of January or the first or second week of february that i called her and she said she was so sorry because she could not join me on valentine's day. The reason? According to her, she was thinking if she would be happy with me as her date on Valentine's day... (Sigh) That was like a BIG slap on my face!

Well, the other girl (that was 2 years ago)... though she dumped me before valentine's day, I still gave her roses and chocolates on valentine's day. haha! wala lang.

So there, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

The Twin Towers

I was born near the twin towers. I have been here 17 years, 11 months and 21 days before it was built.

A friend came to me one day and he said “Mind if I build my twin towers here?”

I did not answer.

Though I knew he was hesitant, he repeated what he said.

“Mind if I build my twin towers here?”

I looked straight into his eyes for a few seconds and I could tell that he was serious. I knew he noticed my teary eyes. I took my eyes off him and I stared anywhere else.

It was so quiet. We stayed like that for a few minutes and finally, I broke up the silence.

“Ok, Go on. Do anything you would like to.”

“Thanks buddy.”

“Whatever.” I said to myself. I left him immediately. I knew then that for the second time, I had just made a decision that I would regret someday.

I was in my room one night and I noticed that the moonlight was not passing through my window anymore. My phone beeped. It was a message from a friend. It said “I have just completed my twin towers in eight months. I can see the beautiful moon from here!”

The New Moon

On the 44th day of the year, the moon reached out to me. The full moon said "Can we be friends?" Sure. That started our friendship. Days had passed and i have been falling with the moon. I was so eager to defy gravity to touch her, but she was just hard to reach and had a blinding light for the moon was full.

Some few days passed and I wanted to tell the moon that i was falling for her but nothing came out of my mouth for i saw a half moon. I was threatened by this and i asked her "Are you leaving?"

"I'm not sure." She said.

I was puzzled and i began to panic. It did me no good.

Years had passed and the moon and i were still friends. This time i asked her "Can you stay there forever so that when i wake up in the morning it is you that i will see first?"

But too bad for i saw a new moon. Though her voice was not clear she tried with all her might to answer me, and she said "That is impossible. I married a quarter moon."

MTV ASIA AWARDS 2005

After all the long waitings, advertisements, promotions.... the MTV Asia Awards (MAAs) 2005 premiered last night (February 3rd). But it kind of disappointed me.

MAAs is one of the major events of MTV Asia that i really anticipate, because it is the ONLY event where the best of the West meets the best of the East. But this year, the show kind of reformatted. Because of the tragic Tsunami that had devastated South Asia, MTV Asia decided to make the main show a sort of benificial concert , and it was dubbed as the MTV Asia Aid. the winners of the MAAs were awarded in a different way. Check it for yourself. If you are in asia, check out the show times at MTV Asia.

Anyways, the MTV Asia Aid was, well... AWESOME!!! yeah! It was hosted by Alicia Keys. The opening act was Hoobastank... their performance was cool, even though Doug Robb's voice was not that cool because from what i have read, he suffered from bronchial pneumonia while they were touring. I have also noticed some Asian artists. Rain was cool, i like his moves. I think the asian artists should have done an english performance so that other foreign viewers could understand them. There were also clips showing the heart-pounding tragic results of the tsunami.

I don't want to pre-empt you guys, so you just have to watch the MTV Asia Aid yourself. Don't worry, it will also be shown in Europe and America and the rest of the world where MTV exists. Watch out for Simple Plan and Good Charlotte. I give a 9 out of 10 rating for MTV Asia Aid.

It's true, MTV Asia Awards 2005 kind of disappointed me, but the MTV Asia Aid did not.

My Element is WATER

Cockroaches, GO AWAY... Please?!

If you have problems with roaches in your room and you swear you have done ALL things imaginable then you might wanna try these simple steps formulated and tested by me. I swear, IT WORKS:

1. First things first. Clean your room every now and then. Never put your dirty clothes in your room!

2. Do not use insecticides.

3. Please, Do not eat roaches. That's gross.

4. The most important thing: Do not kill roaches. Be friends with them! If you happen to see one on your way, do no step on them. Just drive them away out of your room or house. If they show up again, repeat this step. In this way, they would soon realize that you don't want them in your place and eventually leave you for life.


Try it! I promise, you won't get harmed. Tell me if it works for you too. :D

From There

So many of us
either fear tomorrow
or regret yesterday
But I won't fear tomorrow
if I'd get to be with you someday

I tried to explain
how my heart feels for you
And now i can say "I Love You"
But somehow I know
I can't say it to you so sure

When I know that time can lead me to nowhere
You are here from there
The loneliness that gave me heartache
And now you're here from there

You suddenly came in to my life
and i didn't ever realize
the things that you did to make me smile
And now you make me cry

So many of us
either fear tomorrow
or regret yesterday
but i don't regret my yesterday
Cuz it's when that i met you

Sana'y Maisip Mo

Sa'yong mata nakita
ang tunay na ligaya
Ngunit kahit naisin ko
Tayo'y hindi magkatagpo

Lagi kang pinangarap
Ikaw ay makasama
Laman ka ng aking dasal
Ikaw sana ay mahagkan

Alam mo naman na
inalay ko ang puso ko
Ngunit gano'n pa man
Pakinggan mo ang awit ko

Hangad ko'ng 'yong ligaya
sa piling ng iba
At kung ika'y iwanan
ito ang 'yong tandaan
Sana'y maisip mo
Ako'y naririto

Labis kang minahal
Alam ng Maykapal
Laman ka ng aking puso
ngunit ako ay sumuko

Kahit anong isipin
Ika'y nasa damdamin
'Di mo man ako mahalin
handa ito na tanggapin
