Prelude Number 13 in BAminor

Friday the 13th strikes.

Got a crappy grade in my Business Law and Taxation quiz. Passing, but crappy nevertheless.

Just as I was going home, rain came down. Hard rain. I just realized I didn't bring my umbrella today. I brought it last Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and yesterday. And the clouds decided that it should rain today. So now, I'm stuck here in BA, waiting for the rain to stop.

I know it's not really that bad. But when you've got a two-week old cold, every feeling/sentiment about everything just intensifies. I just hope nothing goes too wrong on my way home.

So there's my update for the week.

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Dyan B. :D :)

2005 and 2006

2005 lessons/ realizations/ insights:
Zuma Tip: Just because nobody understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.Hehehehehe..

Ang hindi tumaba nung bakasyon, hindi masaya ang bakasyon.

I'd rather be busy than do nothing.

No man is an island. At some point, no matter how independent we are, we will need someone for something.

Ayoko ng mga paputok. Mausok tuwing New Year. Mahirap huminga. Hazard pa sa mga daliri.

It is hard to really change the world.

Sure, hope is always alive. But sometimes, we have to stop fighting it, or fighting for it, and just let go. Let Hope rest, and let Time work. And it may just happen, with the help of Luck, Chance, or Fate.

2006 goals:
Buy the CD editions of my Eheads and Parokya cassette tapes.
Buy that Creative Zen Nano. Kung hindi lang nawala 3310 ko...
More control in my impulse-buying-syndrome
Avoid taray moments and taray sumpongs
Practice my instruments more often
Graduate in April
Pass the CPA Board exam in October

It's starting to hit me. I may have a degree-required job before this year ends. In time, I shall say hello to the real world. Or the real corporate world. It's exciting. It's scary. We'll see.

I'm thinking when is really the best time to start working. I'm thinking of taking some time off after passing the board in October (Yes, I will pass!). Most of my workmates in my OJT recommended a vacation after graduation (passing the board in my case). Maybe I'll just do that. Maybe I'll start working in 2007. I'm really contemplating about this thought. I'll see. We'll see.

I can't really create an in-depth entry about 2005. I wanted to, but well, maybe the most valuable lessons cannot be written in words. Bottom line is, 2005 was an awesomely-great-amazing year. I wonder what 2006 brings.

We'll see.

Survey Sings...

If you want to...

Fight your fears
Overcome rejection
Deal with disappointment

Mag-survey ka. Mauubos ang hiya mo.

Hindi kaya ng powers ko. Good thing two of my feasibmates have those powers to accomplish our task. I thought we'd be done in one day. But no no no no no. We had to spend two whole freakin days for our survey. And for what? To get and project the demand curve of our feasibility project.

Opening line: "Ah, excuse me po. Good morning/afternoon. Pwede po ba magpa-survey?"

Best answers/ replies:
"Ha? Ano ba yan? Di ko alam sagot jan!"
"May bayad ba to?"
"Ay miss, pwede abng dagdagan mo na lang? Di ko alam sagot sa iba eh"
"Ay, nagsagot na po ako kahapon eh"

And someone actually placed her name on the survey although it was not required.

Hayayayayayay.
This experience is an example of the saying: Some things are easier said than done.

Chorale Chorus

Despite the stress, pressure and craziness brought by the event, I could still honestly say that it was a fun-filled and very fulfilling experience. I had the chance to conduct once again (sadly, hindi pa rin ako nakakanta).






Thanks to the choir who were willing to practice, despite the numerous tasks.
Sopranos: Rich, Ange, Jihan, Kaye, KC, Abby Wu
Altos: Crystle, Mela, Nhey, Rach, Milcah, Hazel
Tenors: Kitch, Aldrin, Ruel, Janno, Lawrence, Stan
Basses (tama ba plural?):Russ, Brian, Miguel, Jon, Baj, Roger

And of course, sa matindi naming pianist na si Kat Caalim na nung lunch lang nakita yung piece at may less than 3 hours na practice lamang! Thank you for sharing your talent!










Up to now, kinakanta ko pa rin yung Kumukutikutitap. Problema, alto part yung kabisado ko. So in alto tune ko sya kinakanta. Wish ko lang pagdating ng January makalimutan ko na sya.

Kudos to the SAG team for all their hard work!
And thank you God for giving us those talents! Para po sa Inyo yun!

And yeap, Springplum is right. We were definitely the happiest losers that night! Harharhar! XD
