Rain, rain, rain

July 26, 2011 | Tuesday

I may say that we are experiencing a-- BED WEATHER. It's so relaxing to sleep with a thick blanket and sleep the whole day. That is life. But hey, I have school remember? I am a college student. Meaning, Classes are suspended in the PH if the typhoon reached its Signal #3 or as the university officials said so. We have to wait and pray real hard. We have Accounting home work (an easy one tho) but still in crave for home sweet home. Around 9am, we heard that classes are suspended in ALL LEVELS (including college right?) And Yes, It's so true. But the sad part was, our university has not declared about the suspension of classes. We must hear a bell, or the guards will roam around just to spread the news. NEGATIVE, we said. We can see from the outside that all universities has suspended their classes. But still, we're standing strong. Our university was the only school in our area who, still, has not declared the news until 1pm came that they felt our cry. (Me so over acting) That was it. My worthless school day. Tho, we had an ENGL class which was a reporting and quiz period. Not that bad. Got 19/20 F.U, Objective. Yer supposed to be correct :T Whatever, at last we're free from school. K, that's it. Happy Suspension of Classes! ♥ =))

I am enlightened :">

So far this was the best sermon I heard from our parish priest. Even though I wasn't able to catch the morning mass to start my day, I heard this message during today's last mass to end my day with a realization..

Opportunity does not just come along - it is there all the time - we just have to see it. :">

ACRES OF DIAMOND
Russel H. Conwell


At the heart of his lecture was a parable Conwell heard while traveling through present-day Iraq in 1870:
There was once a wealthy man named Ali Hafed who lived not far from the River Indus. “He was contented because he was wealthy, and wealthy because he was contented.” One day a priest visited Ali Hafed and told him about diamonds.
Ali Hafed heard all about diamonds, how much they were worth, and went to his bed that night a poor man. He had not lost anything, but he was poor because he was discontented, and discontented because he feared he was poor.
Ali Hafed sold his farm, left his family, and traveled to Palestine and then to Europe searching for diamonds. He did not find them. His health and his wealth failed him. Dejected, he cast himself into the sea.
One day, the man who had purchased Ali Hafed’s farm found a curious sparkling stone in a stream that cut through his land. It was a diamond. Digging produced more diamonds — acres of diamonds, in fact. This, according to the parable, was the discovery of the famed diamonds of Golconda.
The point, Conwell says, is that we often dream of fortunes to be made in faraway places. We ought instead to be open to the opportunities that are around us. He illustrates this concept with several other stories, including that of the discovery of gold in California.

Ze past few days ☺

So the past few days were not so good at all. I am (most of the time) tired and sleepless. I had to sleep at around 3am and get up at 5am tho class starts at 9am, yet my Daddy would like me to go to school with him and was like his-office-hours-starts-at-7am-right? Yeah, never mind. It's nerve cracking but I have to deal with it. Not only it saves time when the rush hour hits but it saves money as well. ;)

Thursday is P.E day. Yes, we played this caterpillar-like game. Haha! Wherein you should hold onto the one in front of you on his shirt or his waist. Then there's the head (the first on the line) and the tail (the last, duh?). The goal of the game is that the head must touch the tail of the other group. We had two groups and it is just so funny everytime the line was cut and my classmates went tumbling and crashing their-selves onto the grass. Major booboo for them. Guess what? Me the slowest, the choosy, kikay one made my group won for the first time. Haha! I became the tail when the girl at my back wasn't able to hold onto my waist anymore. Yey! Had fun. Then after 2 hours we had our Banquets class. Ew, Dirty. Had to change to our school uniform without taking a bath </3

Friday class went cool, 2 subjects only. Middle subject classes, take note. English and MIS only. Not that much school works. I had fun, cos before MIS class starts we went to PUP Main for my friends' scholarship and to see our classmate who shifted his course. Luckily, I saw my HS friends there. Leo, Micah and Dan. Long time since I heard news about them and see them as well. The last subject that was supposed to last for 3 hours (4:30-7:30) went :-bd Cos our professor asked us to attend mass at the Main Campus (which was a Prayer Rally, btw). I got our class' attendance and saw my dear HS friend, Mara and went to my Daddy's office instead. Good girl ;)

I had my Banquets and Catering Procedures report last Saturday and it was not good at all. I am not prepared O.O Cos the time was so limited and my mind and body just said, 123 Go! Hell. Forget it. After Class, me and Len went to Chowking for brunch :-b

Today's Sunday and had to attend the last mass which will be held at 6pm, I guess. So KBye! <3

You know kdot? Haha =)) I am not so thrilled with this day. I was bored actually. No sleep for me. Forever Skypin' with Baby. Aww, the sweetest date. <3 Started at around 9pm ended 5:30 am. How was thaaaat. Then went straight to the bathroom for bath. (DUH) No make up at first. Slept for a while during our way to Manila. After me was dropped by my father at PUP, Main. I decided to go to our campus right away tho it's 45 minutes earlier than my first class. Wanna know why? Got no homework for ECON :p But whatevs, I finished it in less than 10 minutes not knowing there's no first and second class. Because of the walk out maybe. MIS and Accounting afterwards, I love Accounting. It gives me GV everytime. Ooh, Btw. Ate green mangoes for lunch. You know good thang? Kdot :D

SPELL BORED? KBye!

July 18, 2011 | Monday

Just another manic Monday. Lol. Got nothing to do. No classes, eh? Econ homework was supposed to be done by this time but brain's so cranked up that it won't function the way it was supposed to be. So whatever. I'll do it before the day ends. Day's not that productive at all for I haven't done anything time-worthy. Ooh, spent 250.00 for another online purchase. Why so shopping savvy? @-| Eeek.
