..::Let's Sit and Talk a While::..

my life as of now.

Monday, October 16, 2006

Hey everyone! I'm back! hope y'all are doing fine. As you can see in the title, i'll be telling you what has been going on in my life as of now.

Where to start??

I know! Let me start on how the Student Council in my School is full of bull shit! Why?
They call themselves the student council, the voice of the students! FUCK! they ain't giving voice to the fucking student body! Their office door is closed, as if no one is there, what the hell is that? they don't want to be disturbed? They say that they have programs lined for the whole school year, where are the programs? they are the worst student council that i have ever seen! Those Pro-Administration ASS HOLES!

Hmmm, what's next? Aha! EMS, my current organization...

What can I say, we have a good president and a good set of officers but something is wrong, there's is a rebel among them, who could it be? who thinks against them all? who opposes most of their decisions? Oh right! It's me!! haha!!! I'm real rebel! I can't go with the flow, I'm a salmon that goes against the wave to get to my goal place. I hate some of the decisions they make because it does not really appeal to the students, who are our target, the students of CSB are rich, snobby, arrogant people? what did you expect? they would join conferences that would run for 2 hours, with OLD speakers that can't really relate to their audience? no they won't join that. What about games that you let me handle as a project manager? you think they would come? that's why i'm having second thoughts about that project. That project doesn't really appeal to me, I would rather go out of the school, and eat out with my friends or even see a movie. Guys! try thinking out of the box sometimes, sometimes you have to bend the rules to make something happen. Actually, in the point of view of a typical Benildean, rock bands are so passe, no one would really bother going to an event featuring the "famous" bands today, unless you pay them. the "famous" bands that your going to get will not really appeal to the students, they are to commercializes, try using CSB talents, maybe other students presenting to other students could appeal to the students.

Please EMS, trust me, I came from an organization that wants to destroy apathy in the school, and it's hard. It is up to us to continue that, try making the students more involved.

Oh yeah, don't force me to do things that are some what of an impossibility to my condition in life. I already have it bad that I have to travel 46km. just to arrive at school, fighting the rush hour takes the cake. Busting my ass for something that I can't do, is just murder. Please EMS, don't make me think about of submitting my resignation again, I have thought about it 3 fucking times again, don't make me go for 4 times. Because, I'm going to do it!

IF I DO RESIGN, I'M BRINGING EMS DOWN WITH ME! DON'T ASK ME HOW. THIS IS NOT A THREAT NOR A POSSIBILITY. THIS IS AN ASSURANCE, I WILL DO IT.

Fashion show after Fashion show! I'm sick of it!

Thursday, February 16, 2006

The Student Council (SC), recently held B-Speak forum which aims to discuss the rights of the students of the school. Instead of the rights being discussed, the dress code and the technicalities of grievance filing. This resulted the B-Speak to be a B-Bust. The forum clearly failed to address the issues that were supposed to be discussed. What in the hell is the forum for? I mean, if they were to talk about the student rights, isn't it proper to leave the dress code issue behind? C'mon, tell me I'm wrong the dress code issue is too passe to talk about anymore. Masyado ng gasgas ang topic na yan! In the issue of the technicalities of grievance filing, it doesn't have any connection with what the forum is about. Isn't it enough for the SC to discuss the technicalities of grievance filing by going room-to-room (RTR).
***************************************************
I know that CSB has a Fashion Design Course (FDM), but hell! That doesn't mean SC should make one fashion show after the other. Maybe some of the fashion shows that they did were filled up and properly promoted, but who takes these fashion shows seriously? These fashion shows doesn't have a cause and can't solve any long-term problems that the Sc and the students are facing.
***************************************************
Where are the candidates who won who were trained by TAPAT? Akala ko ba ang training ng TAPAT ay kapag nakapasok sila sa SC hindi sila sasama sa takbo ng buhay ng mga taga-SC kapag mayroon silang nakitang mali sa mga nangyayari hindi sila magiging mediocre. [i thought that the training of the TAPAT candidates is when they won they would do their best not ot be sucked in the flow of the SC whenever there is something wrong.] Am I right? Where are those people who won and vowed that they would do their very best to get the students involved? "Where have all the cowboys gone?" Where are all those idealistic people that were trained by the other idealistic people? Nasan na yung mga nagsabi nung miting de avance na gagawin nila lahat para lang magkaroon ng student involvement? [Where are those people who, in the miting de avance told the public that they would do their best to get something that is called total student involvement?]
************************************************************
Power Vacuum, from the word Power and Vacuum, Power is defined as a possession of control, while Vacuum is defined as a space partially exhausted. These are two very combustable and very dangerous elements when combined in one room or one organization. Power Vacuum, keeps other factors out of their vicinity, in the case of the SC, these are the Political Parties (i.e. TAPAT). Political parties are there for a particular reason and that is to help them imporve the way they govern the school. Political parties are there to keep the balance in power inside a political organization (SC). The dissolution of the Student Political Parties inside the school, an imbalance occured. The candidates of the Political Parties got sucked in the midiocre state of the SC. Another reason why there is a power vacuum is the fact that the SC is overrun by frosh and sophomores. Why is it overrun by frosh and sophomores? It is because of the high qualifications that is needed for you to run for the higher positions of the SC. My sources inside the SC told me that they have created an legislation to lessen the qualifications of the future candidate who wants to run for the higher positions (EB).
***********************************************
The SC has a goal, to get total student involvement. It is a big, huge, gigantic, gargantuan goal for the SC to achieve. With their staff of 30, this can't be done. I predict when I graduate they will still have more fashion shows that will not solve anything and will not create any student involvement of any sort. Fashion shows, for what? for whom? why? Fashions won't solve anything! Those inside the SC if you can read this, can you please open your eyes? I'm sick and tired of all your fashion shows! First I was amused with your fashion show, then i got irritated, now I damn not pleased anymore! Another fashion show and I make a petition for the complete revamp of the SC. I guaran-damn-tee it! I don't care who you are and who your connections are! I don't give a damn! stop t he Fashion shows! Stop the Glam Fam of the SC! you are the representatives of the students! I'm not pleased with what is going on within your walls. Sorry if I'm too harsh, but I'm telling what has been keeping me irritated.

Mediocrity.....

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

This is how the Mr. Webster defines the word mediocrity:
Mediocrity
Main Entry: me·di·oc·ri·ty
Pronunciation: "mE-dE-'ä-kr&-tE
Function: noun Inflected
Form(s): plural -ties
1. a : the quality or state of being mediocre
b : moderate ability or value
2 : a mediocre person

Mediocrity is simply defined as:

+ state of wala lang
+ wa pake sa ginagawa
+ hindi iniintindi ang ginagawa

Many students in the college level are like this because they are the ones that doesn't grow as a true person. They tend to do their work with less precision, its as if they don't care of what their sorroundings expect of them.

Before, when I was in high school, I considered myself to a mediocre person because I tend not to work hard, everything I do is clearly out off my laziness to work. Everything that I do was not leaing towards perfection when I was in high school although I was a soldier at that time. From that mistake in my life I have learned that in college I cannot work like this anymore because my sorroundings are different and they expect something of me that I will do with all my power.

College came, my work was better, everything fell into place as if I was working in clear precision and perfection. Since I first stepped in college I felt that I was unstoppable in my quest for perfection, I've developed a fear of mediocrity in life and in work. I wanted to work with people who are dedicated in their work and work for perfetion although perfection is impossible. I was enjoying myself because I've found some people that will work with me that will do everything in the name of perfection and precision. Then, a terrible storm hit me in my second term in my second year. Groupings were made by my professor, I had no other choice because they dragged me into joining their group although it was against my will. There was nothing I can do, while doing the project and assigning the task needed to be done, no one in my group initiated to do the work assigned to them. I was forced to do them on my own. There was a one week vacation, so i expected the work to be done, done already. But, noooooooooo, nothing was done!!! I was furious! I wanted to commit suicide because there was a one week vacation and they had done nothing to somehow finish the project. Why? One, the consultation of the project came and they didn't come I was the only one there I was embarrassed for them. No text message came why they were not there. I did speak of the project to them, to test if they had any concern for the project. I was right, they said nothing! Again, I was furious for what they did. After the one week vacation, I finished every part of the project on my own. I was about to only write my name on the project, but suddenly, I grew a conscience, it was saying to me NO! write their names. I did write thier names. The following day, I showed up to class looking very tired, and as if I didn't get any sleep for three days. When the time of the passing of the project came, I was about to pass the project then suddenly they took the envelope away and said that they had necessary corrections to do for the project. I got angry that day because they didn't even found the time to text me and say that they had passed the project and that our professor made some necessary corrections for the final project. The following day, they told me that our professor told them that was a problem in the format of the project. I got angry again, then evening came they told me that they changed the format to satisfy the professor. It was a load of my mind, but still i was worried about the presentation day. After the weekend they told me that they wanted to talk to me about the presentation and they told me to handle the introduction. With that being said, i got angry inside!

FUCK IT! I will not handle the introduction! They should handle that introduction! I did everything!!!! I will not be a person of mediocrity!!!!!!

Wazzup! WatsUP! What's up, again!

Monday, August 29, 2005

Heto na naman po ako! haha!

Afternoon Bonanza Time!

I was on the bus one afternoon, going home, when the conductor of the bus turned on the TV and it was set on Channel 2 (obviously KAPAMILYA)(*laughs*) and I noticed, again the really big difference between Channel 7 and Channel 2. Here's what I've noticed:

+ ABS-CBN, during the afternoon features, gossip shows, HEY!!! WAKE UP! Filipinos are not "tsismosos" and "tsismosas". Why not try featuring telenovelas made by Filipinos, maybe you'll encourage your viewers to watch your network.

+ While on the bus watching, I noticed the artists on the show, they are all "has-beens" stars! This means, ABS-CBN catches the stars that are thrown away by the other networks who has some bad records.

Just to cut it short for now, ABS-CBN is now getting more desperate in terms of afternoon shows. It just goes to show you that during the afternoons, ABS-CBN treats their fellow Filipinos as mediocre and gossip folk, because of their gossip shows!

Ano na naman ba ang ginagawa ng school?!?

Putang INA!!!!

I was browsing the net just now, and when I stumbled upon the website of the school here is what surprised my eyes:

Username:

Password:

What the hell is that?!?

Bakit ganyan ang ginawa na naman ng school?

Are they preventing students to access the website at home?

BULLSHIT!

Tapos sasabihin nila na dapat lahat ng students should have the right information when they need it.

Is that the way to dessiminate information to the students?

I think not!!!

Bakit ba ganyan ang school!!

NAPAKA-SWAPANG SA MGA STUDENTS!!!
why do you need the student's username and password for them to access the website?

PUTANG INA!! bakit naman ganyan?!?

Sumosobra na kayo!!!

NAPAKA-GAGO naman ng ginawa nyo! sobra!!!!!!

Complaint!!!!

Wednesday, August 17, 2005

The students of De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) are required to enlist their subjects for the registrar to record them for the encoding of schedules of students. Encoding the subjects means that the students were to choose their desired schedule for the incoming term. During the periods of enlistment and encoding many students complained about the current system that the school used.

DLS-CSB used the Student Information System (SIS) for the enlistment and encoding periods of the school. The students were complaining about the system that the school used. Some students gave very harsh remarks about the system used, example, “bakit ganun yung ginamit ng school?! Mas maganda pa rin yung MyBenilde kesa sa SIS na ginamit nila.” Another example of some the remarks were, “sana ibalik na lang nila sa MyBenilde yung sa enlistment saka sa encoding! Nagpapakahirap lang tayo mag-encode dito sa ginagamit nilang system!” Because of these remarks, some students were FORCED to stay from 6:00p.m until 9:00p.m which is really UNFAIR for the students of the school. Because of the constant crash of the system of the school (SIS) the studentS came home late, came home disappointed. Now, when some of the students checked their enrollment records, some of the subjects were MISSING which is not good for the students, because they were not sure that the registrar could record the subjects and the schedule they enrolled in and the fact that they waited a long time to encode the schedule of their choice.

When the Enrollment Assessment Form (EAF) comes out and the records are wrong the ones to be blamed should be the SCHOOL AND NOT THE STUDENTS because of the change in system. Why separate ourselves from the DLSU system of enlisting and encoding, when it can make the student feel some security of what they encoded. It is just during the enlistment and the pre-enrollment that we will use our MyBenilde account. Because of this THE SCHOOL SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR A BATTERY OF COMPLAINTS from the students when the pre-enrollment ends and the start of the of releasing of the EAFs, because it is not the student’s fault that their records were messed up, they followed the instructions, theY spent their time facing the computer, they waited long hours and skipping their classes just to enlist their subjects and encode their schedules.

The students did not made any mistake in enlisting and encoding, the students did not lack the information about these things, and the instructions were followed. The only problem is the fact that the school is to busy for gaining individuality from the DLSU system. The school should face it, to be supportive to the students make the enlistment and encoding easier for the students so that they are not bombarded with complaints during this period. Fix the whole system; make it a little easier for the students of DLS-CSB. It is not the school who having a hard time in doing these things, it is the STUDENTS; the school should keep that in mind. The students are waiting a long time for nothing, because of the system not being available. PLEASE FIX THIS, THE STUDENTS WILL DEFINITELY COMPLAINT MORE IF THE SYSTEM IS STILL FULL OF FLAWS, WITH THIS SYSTEM OF THE SCHOOL, BOMBARDMENT OF COM
