Thanks Electron. Those were the best, uhm, “pagbubulungan tungkol sakin na naririnig ko pa rin” ever that you guys did. Those words touched my heart and made me figure out that, hey, I was never worthless. I love you guys!

Graduation Tribute #1
I was inspired earlier by the fact that I'm gonna leave pisay soon so I wrote something like this. Hay. I would try to continue writing such tribute until graduation. :)
10 Things I learned in Pisay aboutleadership service to people:
Like Cheska, I should always remember that one is never unimportant. Everyone’s effort matters and makes a great deal of contribution in reaching a goal. I should never waste any my subject’s efforts no matter how small they may seem to be.
Like Jecay, I should learn how to talk to my subjects properly and not shout at them almost all the time. A compassionate approach also works well and makes sure that you’re not hated.
Like Dane, I should always listen to others, accept suggestions, and yet fail not to make my own decisions.
Like Clar, I should always lead my subjects for God and, if ever, to God. Remember that each of them is like brother/sister. I should always see God in them.
Like Ed, I should always love the group that I handle and fight for them.
Like Egg, my commands should always come with a smile and end with a joke. I should be approachable.
Like Joriel, I should always get along with my subjects but always carry an air of authority every time I need to.
Like what Sir Vlad said, I should always remember that the reason I would be able to lead is because my subjects would do half, if not all, of the job for me.
Because of AJ, I learned that you can never please every one with who you are. Know how to deal with it. Change for the better and accept criticisms for, after all, you are only human.
Like Rob, I should lead my subjects for them and because I love them; not because I just want to reach the goal, the position, the power, the fame or because I need help to attain he goal. Leadership is service to OTHER PEOPLE, not to self.
Thanks guys. You've made me better.

And all I need was Sir Martin's blog...
...to write another blog entry. I don't know. Somehow, writing starts to become dull. I mean, the first draft for my econ articles, which should be feature stories by the way, sounded like a research RRL. Yak. I'm starting to turn into Rob. Haha. Joke. I think I'm worse than Rob now.
And yes, even with all the "blogworthy" events that happened in my life for the past few days were left un-blogged. hay.
So, before I comment on the Pisay elections controversy (hey, is The Science Scholar allowed to make this like a banner story or even just a news story? That'd be fun!), I would first give honor to the following events that made my life more interesting than it was:
--> MY FIRST FORMAL AUDITIONS. (excluding the SK one, and yes, complete with cameras and a script! waw! I suddenly became lenient to Theater Arts all over again!)
--> THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GK VISIT EVER OF OUR TEAM. That says it all.
--> SIR VLAD'S OPEN DISCUSSION CLASSES ABOUT NATIONALISM AND EVERYTHING THAT I EVER LOVED AND STOOD UP FOR. Amazing. Really.
--> THE "DRAMATIC" CAT GRADUATION. I would really miss my company. You guys are the best Model Company ever, and up to the last CAT activity, you guys proved that. Go Alpha!
There. Such wonderful things. Hay.
Now, with Sir Martin's blog, he had a post about a restructuralized SA Government and it was really impressive. Seriously. How I wish they would be implemented before we graduated. Hay. And Rob's suggestion of a student constitutional convention to draft the Student Alliance Constitution is exciting. I mean, think about it. WE can do that. And it would give such great lessons to us all. It's nice to know that Pisay is so free. (Ha! so for the readers out there who only think of pisay scholars as nothing but science geeks, think again! WE actually have freedom, you know, and WE can make changes happen. Can you? bwahaha.)
With the Pisay elections, I was, uhm, ok fine, disappointed that Guio didn't win. I don't know. I think he did well this year and would do well again, if given a chance, next year. Hay. But I'm not gonna be there next year so I'm not really supposed to be concerned at all.
Yet, with all the rumors about, uhm, the "unsatisfied losers", I can't help but say its pathetic. Asking for re-elections without sufficient proof that you have been cheated? I don't know. For me, if one really loves his or her batch (and not just the "group" he or she belongs to), he or she would help, regardless of whatever. Having no position at all never hinders anyone to make actions for the benefit of their batch. If one would insist on getting any position at all, then he or she can be compared to the worthles Filipino politicians of today - selfish. Besides, wouldn't it be pathetic to split a fantastic batch of people into two just because of an unaccepted election defeat (or something close to that?). Sayang naman ang batch niyo kung hahatiin niyo sa dalawa dahil lang may magkaibang pananaw o magkaibang pinaninindigan o kung anu pa man, gayong mas madami at mas maganda ang magagawa niyo kung iisa kayo.
I once regretted the fact that our batch only forms one party every year for the elections. Di ko akalain na may pagkakataon pala na masira ang isang batch kung may dalawang magkaibang partido ang tatakbo. As a pisay student, one should know and understand that in elections, there are losers, and yes, we are expected to be able to accept such faiths.
There. I'm gonna go back to our Econ Mag now.

For the Copper Chloride, I love thee.
haha. go chem. i got 3 out of 4! 3 out of 4! waw!! akala ko pa wala akong tinama kahit isa. si sir de ocampo kasi ang discouraging magsalita. pero wala eh. ang bait ni God. :)
ang FRUSTRATING na ng teenpreneur para kay Cheska. at, oo, malapit na kong sumunod. eh kwento pa lang ni cheska, nakakafrustrate na. At this point, hindi ko na alam kung problema na siya ng ESA o ng team namin. Pero whichever, nanghihinayang ako sa mga planning effort ni cheska na nawawalang saysay dahil sa mga mentors namin mula sa ESA at sa ESA na rin mismo (funds! wah!). lalo na yung mga planning efforts ni cheska kasi sobrang essential ng oras para saming mga taga-pisay eh. hindi naman sa hindi rin busy yung mga taga-ESA pero yun nga, nakakainis minsan na ang labo nilang kausap na kung ano yung sinabi nila, iba yung nangyayari. nagugulo tuloy yung mga schedule nung mga tao. tapos sobrang busy pa naming 4th years ngayon kasi nga graduating at walang puso ang pisay. kaya ayan. it's not that everything should be blamed on them, pero yun nga. may mga pagkukulang na rin sila. and at this point, ginagawa na lang talaga namin 'to para kay mang roberto. kawawa naman kasi yung tao. walang trabaho at all. at nageenjoy din naman kami somehow. ayun. hay. at hindi lang yan, perio ng march 2! at yung teenpreneur ay march 2! great. saya.
haha. Adel is so going to win the SAPI award for best actress. hay. ang sarap ng pakiramdam kapag napapalabas mo yung talents nung ibang tao. :P
this post is useless, btw. it's made up of rants. hay. tuluyan na nga yatang nawala ang aking nakasanayang palagiang magsulat ng mga bagay na may saysay. nawawalan na rin tuloy ng kwenta ang blog na to. sori na. tao lang. :P

makaBANSA
haha. ang laki ng epekto ng salitang ito sa akin. ang galing talaga ni Sir Vlad.
dahil bakit ng ba naman hindi makaBANSA at sa halip ay makabayan ang ginagamit natin bilang salitang katumbas ng salitang ingles na nationalism sa Filipino.
mas lalu tuloy naging malinaw na sa konsepto pa lamang ng nationalism, watk watak na kaagad ang pananaw ng mg aPilipino. mas nais nitong maging makabayan (ang bayan, tandaan ay mga maliliit na gurpo lamang. Halimbawa: Manila, Negros,, etbp.) kaysa maging makabansa na mas nagsasabi sa kung ano dapat ang maging ugali ng mga Pilipino.
grabe. mukhang ang mga huling talakayan sa asignaturang "Economics" ang magiging mga paborito ko sa lahat.
at oo, hanggang ngayon ay buong puso ko pa ring ipinagpapatuloy ang pagtupad sa hamon na ibinigay ni Sir Vlad sa amin kanina: ang magsalita gamit ang purong Filipino ng hindi nanghihiram ng mga salita mula sa wikang Ingles.
