Just Nothing
Actually I really don’t know what to post. It’s just my nerves that tell me to blog something. Well, I guess i’ll start telling how was my day. I’m glad because today’s Friday! I got two precious days (Saturday & Sunday) to rest, to relax, to socialize and to study. I already experienced this weekend craving when I had my on-the-job training in Security Bank Makati last summer but this one is different. I already have a job and it won’t end after 240 hours of duty. How I just miss school. Now I fully realized that studying was more fun than working. But I also got to say that my stress level, I think, went down! In school, I got lot of subjects to worry about. Now, it’s only my tasks I have to worry. Ok that’s all I wanna share. I don’t know what else to say. Got to update this blog as often as I could.

So I am hoping to finish this Calculator app soon and make it more functional. Wew. Need more brains to finish this. I will push myself to learn about Objective-C and Xcode while looking for a job. Much better if I could find a company willing to train me.

Surprise Advance Birthday Party <3 Patola
I want to thank God for giving me friends like them. Just having them around me is already one of the best gift I could ever receive in life. They did a lot of effort just to give me a surprise birthday party. I will never forget that moment when everyone made their contribution for that special celebration.
Ganito kasi un eh: Chula Vista Inn Salitran. Around 6:57 PM ng dumating kami dito ni Jhoy. Ang sabi sa kin ni Jhoy eh titignan namin ung venue for her surprise for Kuya Ambo, something like that before. Pero pagdating dun, naisip ko na, hmmm… parang iba na to ahh. Binuksan ang pinto at ilaw. First time ko makapasok sa motel. May sala din pala dito akala ko kama lang! Tapos umakyat na kami. Binuksan ang pinto at ilaw. Sabay rinig sa malakas na “Happy Birthday Xander!”. Dali-dali na silang nagtakbuhan at lumapit at bumati sa akin ng “Happy Birthday!”. Then pinaupo ako at pinapanood sa akin ang mga video greetings at messages ng iba pa naming classmates. Tapos kumain kami. Nanood. Nagkantahan. Harutan. Kwentuhan. Soundtrip. At marami pang iba…
Inisip ko nga eh, wait, what? Deserve ko ba lahat ng to? I mean, after all ng pagiging selfish ko at pagtitipid sa kanila eh ang laki ng effort nila para bigyan ako ng ganitong surprise birthday party? Sa pagrent ng room, sa foods like cake, pinya, marsh mallows, mga chichiria, sa party popper, sa party hat, sa preparation at sa marami pang iba. Ok, I was thinking again about the expenses, yeah, may contribution din naman lahat dito but the thing is I think this celebration is really expensive. Pero, kahit na ganun eh di sila nag-atubili na gawin to para sa akin.
Yes. I already got the idea that there will be something that will happen. Something na parang napapanood sa movies. Pero sabi ko sa sarili ko, ayoko syang ma-spoil. Gusto kong ienjoy kung anu man ung posibleng mangyari. Sumagap na nga rin sa utak ko na baka may nirentahang babae tong mga to kaya sa motel ang venue! lol.
Sa ngayon, hindi ko kayang tapatan o higitan ung birthday celebration na ginawa nila sa akin. Pero pangako ko sa sarili ko na pag mejo maganda na ung inflow ng pera ko eh one day, masusuklian ko rin kahit papaano ang kabutihang ginawa nila sa akin.
Thankful talaga ako at masaya na meron akong mga kaibigan na katulad nila. Patola - Jhoy, Elyssa, Du, Ariane, Agnes, Penny, Ella, Billie, Gierome, Maya, Kwek, maraming maraming salamat talaga. Sa classmates ko sa BIT46, tsaka kay Mam Dang at Arman, thank you din! Sa mama ko, kapatid, tita at lola na kinausap nila, salamat ng marami. Eto ung mga taong hinding hindi ko makakalimutan sa buhay :) Sa lahat ng may pakana nito, it really made my birthday extra extra special.
…oops, sa March 6 pa pala totoo kong bday :) to be continued…

Steve Jobs
Hanggang sa mga sandaling ito, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na wala na sya. Kasi sayang, hindi ko man lang sya nakita sa personal. Ang dami dami nyang naging contribution sa mundo, lalo na sa technology. Ang galing talaga nya. Kakaiba sya mag-isip. Isa pang gusto ko sa kanya ay ung kakahayan nyang makapaghanap ng tao na alam nyang magiging instrument para mapaganda pa ang products ng Apple.
Hindi naman kami close, katulad ng ibang tao, pero nakakalungkot lang talaga na wala na sya. Anyways, kailangan tanggapin un. Goodluck sa Apple.

Gustung gustong gusto ko na matapos na ang thesis namin na Sales and Inventory System (SAIS). Alam kong marami ding ibang group ang gustong matapos ang kanya-kanyang thesis nila. Alam mo ung pakiramdam na gusto mo na sya talaga matapos kaso hindi mo alam paano gagawin? Diba nakakabadtrip un? Kung alam mo lang sana edi sana tapos na nga.
“If there’s a will, there’s a way”. Oo tama. Tama nga naman, tama talaga. Huhuhu. Nakakalungkot talaga. Kailangan talaga siguro na magkaroon ng matibay na matibay na WILL tayong lahat ng nagthethesis para mahanap natin ang tamang WAY para makapasa at makagraduate.
Diba ang sarap ng feeling na nakapasa ka sa defense at sure-graduate ka na? Pero bago un eh kailangan muna nating danasin ang hirap at pagod. Nandyan na ang puyat, nagkukulang ang baon, at <insert here>. Buhay buhay talaga, minsan ganun, minsan ganito, minsan ganyan.
Well, for all of the students who are taking their thesis or special problem right now, we can get through this! Lines from a song (Make It Happen):
If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want
You’re gonna make it happen, make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night and pray to the Lord
He’s gonna make it happen, make it happen
Wish ko lang eh sipagin na tayo. Bawasan na ang oras sa pag-update ng Facebook at Twitter. Dagdagan ang oras sa pagkakadalubhasa. Tumambay sa thesis section. Manuod ng mga video tutorial. At syempre, importante rin ang magpaconsult tayo sa ating mga thesis adviser! Good luck!

Gusto ko talagang matutunan ang PHP & MySQL, ever since first year college pa ako. Ito talaga ang reason ko kung bakit ako nag-IT. Pero ngayong fourth year na ako, hindi ko pa rin na-aachieve ung gusto kong malaman. Inis + tamad tuloy ako ngayon.
Nung fourth year high school pa ako, meron kaming project na website. Na-frustrate tuloy ako kasi hindi namin na-achieve ung gusto naming ouput. So naisip ko na magtake ng IT, gusto ko kasi maging web developer.
Nalaman ko na lang nung first year ako na sa 3rd year pa ituturo un, un kasi ung nasa curriculum namin eh. Tagal kong naghintay. Nung tinuturo na, taas ng expectations ko. Excited ako. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, “eto na un!” Malalaman ko na rin sa wakas ung mga gusto kong malaman. Pero, natapos ang sem. At nasabi ko naman “un lang un?”. Eh, basic lang natutunan ko! At ung basic na un eh alam ko na dati pa. Kaya nga ako nag-IT eh para may magturo. Ayoko na kasi manood ng mga online video tutorial! Nakakaboring. Nakakaantok. At hindi mo pa matatanong ung nagtuturo, syempre nasa video lang sya.
Dismayado talaga ako. Up to now. Akala ko talaga, ineexpect ko na, dapat man lang, sana man lang, o kaya naman! … Hindi ko na alam. Iniisip ko, non-sense na pag-aralan ung mga susunod na programming language. Hindi ko kasi natutunan ung gusto kong matutunan.
Ano sa tingin nyo ang dapat kong gawin? I really feel so sad because of this.

Close
Nag-aalinlangan akong magblog. Marami akong naiisip na idea at topic. Kaso nga lang, ako kasi ung tipo ng tao na hindi mahilig magsabi ng kung ano ung iniisip at nararamdaman nya. Pero, siguro, kailangan ko lang ito ipractice at para masanay na rin ako. Para kasi talagang gusto ko magblog. Ganun.
Tsaka iniisip ko rin ung sasabihin ng ibang tao. Yung magiging reaction nila sa bawat ipopost ko. Nakakaba pero parang exciting. Madrama pero totoo. Bahala na. Bahala na sa mga babasa nito in the near future. Basta gusto ko lang talaga magblog ng kung anong gusto ko. Malay mo ito talaga ang dapat kong gawin sa ngayon.
Unti-unti kong gagamitin ang nalalaman ko. Ang naiisip ko. Ang mga hinala ko. At kung anu-ano pa. At iba-blog ko yun. Dahil gusto ko.

If you wanted a pizza, take time to watch our video! You will be delighted by the recipes we made to fill your hungry stomach.
Home-made pizzas made by Xander, Penny, Allen, Jeero and Jhonas. Originally made for our Art Appreciation subject by Prof Geths Hilario. Each one of us artistically made each pizza, Pizza ala Calle, Pizza Salamis and Pizza Carocheese. We designed it through the use of our imaginative minds and creative hands. No worries about the price, the ingredients are all affordable and common to the masses, especially to the Filipino people.
Pizza ala Calle. Inspired by the foods found in the street, mainly Kikiam and Fishball. We thought making a pizza out of these street foods because a lot of people likes to eat Kikiam and Fishball. What about Adobo Kikiam and Nilagang fishball the next time we’ll have a cooking project? Why not?
Pizza Salamis. Curious what a Salami is, we took the opportunity to have it as the main ingredient in making a pizza. Yep, you read it right—curious. We were in the market looking for recipes then we saw Salami, it’s like a ham but it’s not really a ham or something like that. Whatever. So, we just bought it and then made it a pizza.
Pizza Carocheese. A pizza made for everyone. A pizza for the vegetarian. It’s made up of carrots and cheese. So flavorful and healthy. Another way of presenting a pizza without the meat.
The ingredients are flashed on the video. You may pause it for a while and take down notes. You may also create your own pizzas and try different ingredients. Just feel free and let your imagination flow to create something new.
Thank God for the food. Thank you very much for reading. Enjoy watching. Hope we’ll get a high grade! LOL :)

This is my class schedule. I will put this at the back of my school ID because I hardly can’t remember the room and time of our class! I also put something at the right corner, words that I needed throughout the day so that I can do my best and be highly motivated. I am going to read this most of the time as a reminder. The last one, i am a YSM, is the highlight among the other characteristics I need to possess. YSM is an acronym and I won’t tell its meaning to anyone.
