			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Why is that, Adamson University is collecting an amount of 200 pesos in our tuition fee for the test paper?</strong></p>
<p><strong>How much worth our test paper would be in every semester?</strong></p>
<p><strong>And some faculty members dont give us that exam in every term.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Adamson University is school for the poor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But poor students is getting poorer in their system of collection.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Too bad that we are all just students enrolled in this university. Why is that their is not auditing of the university&#8217;s administrator?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Maybe students and parents should know where our money is being proceeded to where.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Foul smell in our comfort rooms, no water, poor airconditioning rooms, foul smell from estero, poor lightings at night, collections for cultural affairs activities that our classes are being suffer making those event in our official time of class. Poor adamsonian students being victim again in a system like this one.  We cannot talk to our president because a lots of protocol is being implemented before making any talk to him.  OSA administrators are so biased with some students organization. OSA are sometmes being unfair to help us students. </strong></p>
<p><strong>We hope us students may receive from this university that money that we paying to them.  Faculty members from religious department are always absents, mathematics professors teach us non sense lectures.  PE teachers are always absent. Poor students that we are being discriminated from other UAAP member schools or even from our nearby universitywe are so lagging behind from them. Especially the knowledge that their professors teaching them.  We hope that Father Greg will help us students to learn more.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chemistry Review Pod</p>
<p>This is an invitation to all chemistry students, graduates and licensed chemist to help with the cause to by participating with the planned creation of a regular <strong>chemistry Q&amp;A</strong> in this site.</p>
<p>If there will be an interest in this endeavor, we will begin collating Q&amp;A for the bucket to start at 500 questions for the online quiz.</p>
<p>Who can join?</p>
<p>Chemistry graduates preparing for the Board Exams<br />
Chemistry students preparing for a long exam<br />
Chemistry practitioners who need some review<br />
Chemistry enthusiasts who just want to try it out<br />
Chemistry students from other schools who want to avail of the service</p>
<p>How to join?</p>
<p>There will be a special registration. For Adamsonians, student number is required (even to those who didn’t enroll in the semester can join). Students from other schools are welcome too, but you need to specify your school’s name and your student number.</p>
<p>To the working chemistry practitioners, you may have an option to include your company’s name if you want but your position has to be stated with or without the company name.</p>
<p>Features of the Chemistry Review Pod</p>
<p>At this point, these are just “thrillers.” But you can expect the features below to be in the website.</p>
<p>Since this is just a “pod” within the website www.adamsonian.com , you can have an option to simply sign in to the pod itself or the entire website which will allow you to avail of the entire functionality of the website www.adamsonian.com.</p>
<p>However, you can opt to just create an account to the pod itself.</p>
<p>The 500 bucket of questions will be divided into 4 chemistry subject matters, which are analytical, organic, physical and inorganic chemistry; 125 questions each, instrumentation and other electives will be incorporated with one of the 4 subject matters mentioned. The exams will be categorized into 3 types:</p>
<p>Quiz – 20 items (random)<br />
Long test – 50 items (random)<br />
Mock board – 80 items per each subject (320 items in all)</p>
<p>We will also be adding chemdraw program to the pod to help students with their projects.</p>
<p>We will also have a Q&amp;A where we could park a question for a duration of time and we will seek answers from three persons of authority to the subject matter. We will provide the answer complete with computations, the basis, and if ever, the reference materials.</p>
<p>Of course, since we are tapping the professionals, we expect that it won’t be painful to refute or bear thru veracity.</p>
<p>We will also have a progress tracker which will serve as a “progress meter.”</p>
<p>There will be a weekly graph, in terms of daily activity to track one&#8217;s progress. There could also be an option to rank ones progress against the others.</p>
<p>Benefits from Chemistry Review Pod</p>
<p>A focus group to discuss chemistry is very beneficial during review for board. It gives one a bird’s eye view of the difficulty.</p>
<p>Also, the Q&amp;A will help one develop self-confidence in answering time pressure questions aside from what the review school could offer.</p>
<p>The chemdraw is useful in making structural representations.</p>
<p>The ranking of the members would in a positive way attract probable employers who are looking for other verifications to help in their decision to hire a chemist or a lab analyst.</p>
<p>Finally, these are all plans up to this point, but we are seriously taking this into consideration though, if we’re going to get a positive response on this, then we will begin this effort.</p>
<p>So, hope to hear from you soon.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lasenggero at sugarol ang tatay ko. Siya ang diyos sa impiyernong pamamahay na ito. Hanap-patay ang tanging pinagkakaabalahan sa buhay. Wala nang ginawa kundi maghanap ng sinumang namatayan sa bayan namin para makapanginom at makapangsugal. Dado ang pinakapaboritong sugal. Pinapayaman ang bisyo. Lahat ng kasangkapan namin sa bahay nakasangla. Ang XRM na iniregalo sa akin ni Uncle, ang tsap-tsap* na inayos ko pa para umandar, ang TV namin, ang lumang radyo ni Lolo, ang ref, ang videocam, mobile phone ko, ang bahay at lupa namin na minana niya kay Lola. Lahat ng ito ipinangtalo niya at isinangla sa kahit sinong kapañero niya sa sugal. Tuwing pupunta sa lamay posturang-postura ang diyos, dala ang motor, dala-dala ang ilang libong pinagpaguran ni nanay bilang titser. Ngunit paguwi ng bahay nakapaa na lang ang tatay ko at pati tsinelas ay naisangla. Malalaman namin, yung sasakyan isinangla sa sugalan sa halagang tatlong libong piso.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Paguwi ng bahay, lango na sa alak. Minumura ang tikbalang na nakatira sa akasya sa likod bahay namin. Minumura si satanas, hinahamon ng suntukan. “Pakyu kayung lahat,” sigaw ng tatay ko gabi-gabi. “Lumabas ang matapang! <em>Iyot ni inam,</em> Berting!,” sigaw nito sa Lolo namin, sabay kuha ng tabak at hahabulin ang tatay niya. Si Lolo, kahit naka-brief lang yan, kakaripas ng takbo hanggang sa kabilang baryo. Walang sinuman ang kumakalaban sa tatay ko. Astig ‘yan e! Diyos na kinatatakutan. Siya ang patron ng kalasingan. Pag hinarap mo, ngingitian ka lang niya. Sabay sapak sa iyo. Bog! Bulagta ka. Tapos duduraan ka, sabay litanya ng kahit asong kumakain ng tae di kayang kainin. Putris! Lumabas ang matapang, harapin niyo ang tatay ko!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Si nanay, mabait. Ulirang ina at asawa. Punching bag yan ni tatay e. Gabi-gabi naliligo si nanay, aayusin ang sarili, kailangang maganda siya pagdating ni tatay. Inihahanda ang mukha para sa suntok ng pinakamapangyarihang tao sa baryo namin. Hihintayin si tatay kahit hanggang madaling araw. Ipagluluto pa niya yan ng paborito niyang pinakbet. Pagdating ni tatay mula sa lamayan, lasing siyempre, pangalan ni nanay ang unang sasambitin. “Trining!!!” Tapos makakarinig ka ng tunog ng nasirang pinto. “<em>Iyot ni Inam</em>, wala kang kuwentang babae.” Si nanay, ngingiti lamang. “Lasing ka na naman,” ang sasabihin lang nito. Malambing siyempre. Tapos tutulungan ang asawa, huhubarin ang damit, kukuha ng maligamgam na tubig at pupunasan ang mukha, batok, at buong katawan ni tatay. Matapos siyang mapunasan, tatadyakan si nanay at isang suntok sa mukha. Blag! Sapol si nanay. Sayang di marunong umilag. Mga suntok at tadyak na may kasamang mura siyempre. Di dapat mawala ang mura. Mahalaga yan e. Yan ang kataga ng pagmamahal ni tatay kay nanay. Tapos uutusan niya ito na kumuha ng pera. Dapat may maibigay si nanay. Magrarason si nanay. “Wala na tayong pera.” Pak! Sapul sa mukha si nanay. Sayang di nakailag. “<em>Iyot ni Inam</em>, Trining! Sabi nang bigyan mo ako ng pera e!” Sapak ulit. Hahawakan ni nanay ang pasang mukha, pupunasan ang ilong na may dugo, papahirin ang labing pumutok, at dudura ng dugo. Tapos saka sasabihin kay tatay na kukuha ng pera. Lalabas ng bahay si nanay, mabagal ang lakad, at kakatok sa iba’t ibang bahay para mangutang kahit sa kailaliman ng gabi.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ako si solitaryo. Gabi-gabi ikinukulong ko ang aking sarili sa kuwartong ito. Lahat ng dingding pininturahan na ng kulay bughaw, nagsisilbing soundproof upang di madinig ang malakas na bulyawan ng kung anomang sineng pinapalabas sa labas. Ayaw ko ng ingay. Takot ako sa ingay. Gusto ko lamang ng katahimikan. Masarap makinig sa patlang. Para sa akin ibang mundo ang nasa labas ng aking kuwarto, nakakaaliw. Ayaw ko ng nakaaaliw. Masyadong masaya. Ayaw ko ng masaya. Baka ako mapaiyak pag nanood ako ng masasayang palabas sa labas. Ang gagawin ko pagkatapos kong maligo sa gabi, kukunin ang gitara at magpapatugtug ng malulungkot na kanta. Asin, pwede yan. Joey Ayala, paksyet! The Teeth, Yano, Rivermaya at lahat ng malulungkot na kanta ng E-Heads. Yung sigurado na yayakap sa akin ang hilahil. Basta <em>iyot ni Ina</em> na! ayaw ko ng masasayang tunog. Putang-inang tunog na naririnig ko sa labas. Ayaw ko ng sigaw, di ko ibig sumigaw kaya ibubulong ko na lang: Pakyu ang buhay!!!!!<span> </span><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>At sa aking pagtulog at di maparam na mga panaginip, magigising ako mula sa mga halik ni nanay sa aking labi. Masuyo. Nangaangkin. Magpapaubaya si solitaryo mula sa maiinit na haplos ni nanay sa aking katawan.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Gabi-gabi nagigising si solitaryo mula sa halik ni estranghero. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">*tsap-tsap- tawag sa na-smuggle na mga kagamitan tulad ng motor</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just don&#8217;t understand it.</p>
<p>Melissa was abducted and the people who allegedly abducted her keeps on dying it. Oh that one is understandable.</p>
<p>But who would pin down an activist with a strong &#8220;leftist&#8221; ideology?</p>
<p>Would a  mafioso for example punch her on the chest, bang her head against the wall or exasperate her making her admit something she&#8217;s probably not, like a member of CPP-NPA for example?</p>
<p>Or would astroboy suddenly became rouge and decided to torture a woman?</p>
<p>Or was she just zapped into the black hole and nothing really happened, that she&#8217;s probably exaggerating when she claimed that it was military men who abducted her?</p>
<p>If this is not a hoax case, why didn&#8217;t our Madam President declare war on this?</p>
<p>President Gloria is so fond with declaring war on bad things, right?</p>
<p>Why didn&#8217;t GMA &#8220;declared war&#8221; on torture to  woman?</p>
<p>&#8217;till then&#8230;</p>
<p>Justice for Melissa Roxas !!!</p>
<p>(though I shun reaffrimist &#8220;ideology&#8221;)</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a known fact that monkeys have the ability to imitate others to their maximum potential until they act/do the same things that the ones that they are imitating do.
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I normally do not write about current events but hey! Have you people heard what Freddie Aguilar said about Charice Pempengco and that Arnel Pineda? He said they are like monkeys. No, not like monkeys, but are monkeys. He said this so because the singers – Pempengco and Pineda – are garnering (or are thinking) that they are making other Filipinos proud because of their performances of American song in the U.S. of A. Now wait a minute, already. Maybe Freddie Aguilar do have some viable reasons as to why he called the performers monkey. Maybe they really are monkeys, if Ka Freddie qoutes Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution.</p>
<p>Let’s just put it this way. C. Pempengco and A. Pineda on a “Filipino” tour. They tour around the American states, around the metro, to sing American songs. The Filipino immigrants and the random Filipinos over there applaud as C. Pempengco sing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. They applaud and scream “Filipino yan!”. And so the American band Journey, whose lead vocalist/frontman is Arnel Pineda sings yet another American rip-off and the Filipinos abroad applaud and scream. Now, now children, there is nothing wrong with that. Hey be proud.</p>
<p>However, if they really wanted to make the FIlipinos proud, why not sing FIlipino songs? I am quite confident that the daddies and mommies working in America would definitely appreciate a rendition of Richard Reynoso’s Paminsan-minsan instead of the nerve-shattering banshee like screamings of Whitney Houston ala C. Pempengco. Or, Arnel Pineda could have utilized his vocal skills to compose and sing songs with a Filipino undertone. Just because they have to perform on Ellen Degeneres’ show doesn’t mean that they have to sing American flavored songs and all that shit about the American this and that. But of course, maybe their managers told them to do so. Hey, a girl/man has to eat and earn a living by the rules of pragmatism.</p>
<p>Now with Ka Freddie belting out his frustration about these Filipino stars in the US. Monkey see, monkey do. I have watched a noontime variety show in which C. Pempengco sang yet another American song. What’s with American songs that these performers (and their managers too) have a strong bond with? They are already in the Philippines YET they sing American songs. They have the American twang and they sing American songs, and most probably they cater the American entertainment and economy and the American way of life (sell sell sell!) and still they do not want to be called monkeys.</p>

<p>When Regine Velasquez was called “monkey” by the uber-biatch neurotic yet very talented Mariah Carey way, way back, I remember that she did not do anything about it because she is making her fans proud. She also makes her economic empire proud. So what’s the fuzz about being called a monkey? It is a known fact that monkeys have the ability to imitate others to their maximum potential until they act/do the same things that the ones that they are imitating do.</p>
<p>On one note, I concur with Ka Freddie. Heck no, I am not biased (haha). How could someone, as a FIlipino, say that he is practicing his Filipino versatility by singing and performing American songs, and then being angry and offended if someone calls them monkey.</p>
<p>Or maybe the analogy to the monkey is just wrong. Shame on you humans!</p>
<p>(Another note: I have nothing against these Filipino stars in the US. Hey, that’s pure talent. However, business, be ti showbusiness or monkey business, alters talent. It is known that capitalism kills talent. hmm..)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright I&#8217;m back. Temporarily. Just here to correct some of your misconceptions.</p>
<p>(a) The correct use of looser/loser: &#8220;Looser&#8221; refers to objects or body parts that get loose. For example, <a href="http://adamsonian.com/2009/07/05/jobert-lazarte-is-a-looser/">Impostor</a>&#8217;s sphincter after a shipload of Norwegian sailors banged it, repeatedly, over a weekend. Correct use: &#8220;After being totally and royally f#cked, Joe Bert Lazarte&#8217;s vagina has become irreparably looser than ever, perhaps even a lot looser than Impostor&#8217;s own holy vagina. Some professional and hardcore vaginoplasty is in order.&#8221; Incorrect use: &#8220;Joe Bert  Lazarte is a looser.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the other hand, &#8220;loser&#8221; refers to somebody who loses, or one who gets &#8220;invited for questioning&#8221; by the NBI but instead finds himself portrayed as &#8220;arrested&#8221; in the media. Correct use: &#8220;<a href="http://adamsonian.com/2009/07/05/jobert-lazarte-is-a-looser/">Impostor</a> is <em>definitely not a loser</em> for using &#8220;looser&#8221; in a place where people actually know the right words to use.&#8221;</p>
<p>(b) I don&#8217;t run a porn website for a living. I run an adult-oriented celebrity news blog, among dozens ofother stuff I do (like writing press releases for the politicians you love), for a living.</p>
<p>(c) Regarding that &#8220;cinematic, primetime news-worthy&#8221; event last Friday, <a href="http://fleshasiadaily.com/2009/07/10/full-disclosure-the-shit-day-that-was-last-friday/">I&#8217;ve written a sort of explanation here</a>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for today, kids. Tomorrow, our little lecture will be all about dickheads, and the fine anatomy of that beloved body part, the asshole.</p>

<p>NBI questions maintainers of website that uploaded Kho sex videos<br />
By JEAMMA E. SABATE<br />
July 4, 2009, 12:56pm<br />
Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) invited for questioning three alleged maintainers of a website suspected of being the first to upload the sex videos of Hayden Kho.<br />
Invited for questioning by the NBI Anti-Fraud and Computer Crimes Division (AFCCD) were Fidel Lazarte and his children Marvin and Jobert Lazarte, alleged maintainers of the website, Fleshasiadaily.com.<br />
The NBI said it traced the website to the Lazarte’s address in Block 89, Topaz Street, Zapote Dos, Bacoor, Cavite.<br />
Assistant Regional Director (ARD) Vicente de Guzman III, chief of the NBI-AFCCD, said the NBI conducted technical surveillance that led them to trace the location of the website that first uploaded the sex videos of Kho.<br />
According to AFCCD head agent Palmer Mallari, the website fleshasiadaily.com which is viewed by at least one million people daily, was the first to upload the Kho-Reyes sex video. NBI sources said Jobert admitted that they broadcast the videos of Kho dancing with Katrina Halili but denied they uploaded videos of Kho having sex with Katrina Halili, Maricar Reyes, and an unnamed Brazilian model.<br />
Jobert said that they got the videos showing Halili and Kho dancing via e-mail from unknown sender.<br />
Mallari said the AFCCD is now tracing who sent the videos to Fleshasiadaily.com.<br />
According to the NBI, the Hayden videos that appeared on YouTube and other websites came from fleshasiadaily.com. YouTube later pulled out the sex videos.</p>

3 persons in sex video upload case invited for questioning<br />
Updated July 04, 2009 12:00 AM</p>
<p>MANILA, Philippines – The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) raided yesterday the office in Bacoor, Cavite of a website that allegedly first uploaded on the Internet the sex videos of cosmetic surgeon Hayden Kho and several women.<br />
Fidel Lazarte and his sons, Marvin and Jobert, the website’s maintainers and operators, were taken to the NBI for questioning.<br />
The NBI has not yet filed charges against the Lazartes, according to Assistant Regional Director Vicente de Guzman III, Anti-Fraud and Computer Crimes Division chief.<br />
The three are connected with a website called FLESHASIADAILY.COM with office at No. 89 Topaz Street, Zapote Dos, Bacoor, Cavite.<br />
The NBI’s technical surveillance determined the identity of the website and its location here in the Philippines.<br />
Head agent Palmer Mallari, AFCCD executive officer, said Kho’s sex videos seen on YouTube and other porn sites came from FLESHASIADAILY.COM.<br />
Jobert Lazarte admitted to the NBI that they were maintaining the website, but claimed they do not know the identities of persons who send videos to their website since these are only e-mailed to them, he added.<br />
Jobert also denied that they uploaded the sex videos of Kho, but admitted they uploaded the two videos where actress Katrina Halili had danced with Kho.<br />
The website is just a “hobby site,” not a porn site, and that those sending the videos are anonymous, he added.<br />
The NBI is now trying to find out who sent these sex videos to FLESHASIADAILY.COM, and if these were sold or just sent for free.<br />
The NBI is studying the possibility of filing charges of pornography against the Lazartes.<br />
Meanwhile, the Optical Media Board has identified the person responsible for the reproduction and mass release of Kho’s sex videos and his women partners.<br />
OMB officials said the agency is set to file charges against the person “soon.”<br />
However, lawyer Rosendo Meneses, OMB executive director, refused to reveal the name of the person.<br />
“We’re already in the final stages (of preparations) to file a case against the one who distributed the first copies of the videos,” he told The STAR.<br />
Lawyer Cyrus Valenzuela, OMB legal division chief, said the person would be charged for replicating and manufacturing the sex videos in violation of the Optical Media Act.<br />
“We will file the case in Manila because it’s where the first copies were circulated and it’s where the business of this person is located,” he added.<br />
Meneses said the OMB was investigating the issue on the aspect of violation of the anti-piracy laws.<br />
“When we conducted our own investigation, we were after the piracy aspect and not the violation of the rights of those involved, not the morality aspect of the issue,” he said. – Sandy Araneta, Reinir Padua</p>

NBI raids “Flesh Asia Daily 2.0″ office<br />
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) raided on Friday afternoon the office of “Flesh Asia Daily 2.0″ believed to have first uploaded videos of Hayden Kho and several women.<br />
Fidel Lazarte and sons Marvin and Jobert Lazarte, the alleged web site’s maintainers and operators, were taken from their office in Bacoor, Cavite to the NBI for questioning. According to Head Agent Palmer Mallari, the web site was the first to introduce the videos of Kho and actress Katrina Halili dancing to the tune of Careless Whisper, Kho and model Maricar Reyes, and a third video titled “Beautiful Girl.”<br />
The NBI is studying the possibility of filing charges against the Lazartes but they could also become witnesses if they cooperate in identifying the people behind the distribution of the videos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To My fellow Adamsonians, read this:<br />
[go la salle….sana matanggal na nu at adamson..ang cheap kc nila at mahihirap]<br />
This was posted last Monday, 29 June 2009 at 10:18 pm (time stamped), in the URL: <a href="http://www.inboundpass.com/2009/06/19/uaap-season-72-welcomes-the-sarimanok/">http://www.inboundpass.com/2009/06/19/uaap-season-72-welcomes-the-sarimanok/</a>,  which popped up when I was in the office accessing  google (thru a proxy settings, defying our company IT, hehehe).  Full of anticipation and happy to learn that FEU is host school, because I never experienced FEU hosting UAAP during my stay in the Adamson Chronicle (or my entire stay in Adamson finishing B.S. Chemistry, with great toil).</p>
<p>It was nice to learn that FEU is representing this season’s UAAP with a true Filipino mythical creature Sarimanok. It best fits the meaning of UAAP. And to maximize its meaning, FEU’s Sarimanok dons the colors of UAAP.</p>
<p>But the comment above is so hurting, that despite my ambivalent attitude towards my alma mater, it moistened my eyes. I realized that I am still sensitive about my school, the Adamson University.</p>
<p>I never resented to be “mahirap” (poor), to me life is more meaningful and full of adventure that way. But to be “cheap” otherwise is something else. Is to be “mahirap” tantamount to being cheap?<br />
So, should we withdraw from the league because we are “mahirap” and cheap?<br />
Are we all forgetting that Adamson is already in UAAP when the glamour schools were still in NCAA?<br />
What have we done as Adamsonians (or them from NU) to offend the fellow who posted the comment above?</p>
<p>I replied, of course. A not-well-thought-of and angry response:</p>
<p>Tuesday, 30 June 2009 at 11:02 am<br />
Sa nag post nito: “go la salle….sana matanggal na nu at adamson..ang cheap kc nila at mahihirap”<br />
Totoong mahihirap kami. Sa katunayan, kahit Adamson ang isa sa mga original members ng UAAP. Nananatiling nag tiis kami sa pait ng pagkatalo. Una walang motivation ang mga manlalaro namin. Siguro kulang sa Vitamin B Complex, poor kasi nutrition namin kasi mahihirap kami, yung pambili ng vitamins eh pambili na lang ng mga mumurahing sachet ng pagkain na pino produce mga kapitalistang intsik… Ganito talaga ang manatili a bulok na “sachet economy.” Ang mahirap ay laging inaapakan ng mga burgis na katulad mo. Pero bilog ang mundo, baka malay mo mag champion din ang Adamson (or NU for that matter). At kung mangyari yun. Proud ako lalo dahil wala kaming perang pang “bankroll” sa “game fixing.”<br />
And I have to apologize for generalizing. I understand that some people in Adamson are rich but this is not to undermine the “rich” population. But hey, let’s admit it, not all of us have Adamson as their primary school of choice.<br />
But I apologize to for insinuating game fixing. I am still in the process of convincing myself that unfair officiating during the games is a human error. Not thru envelope.<br />
Oh well, some people would disown our “fellow commenter.”<br />
But to Blazing TAMS and Go USTe , I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being fair.<br />
Moving forward, I was spamming officemates about UAAP facts and boasted that Adamson could win the first game against UST.<br />
One of them commented that it would be so if UAAP board would change the rules of the game reducing the duration to 3 quarters only. As, according to them, Adamson Falcons are known to bug down during the last quarter.</p>
<p>Good luck to FALCONS!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>what happens to a person if others become used to the “thing: he does? probably, he’ll develop it as a habit.</p>
<p>what about his “thing”? it’s between the two. notice or ignore.</p>
<p>just a mere thought of it tingles my irritative sense, warms my blood, and hardens my fists.</p>
<p>i’m silently angry about this.</p>
<p>AAH. CORRUPTION ON IT’S FINEST DAYS.</p>
<p>last may 20, mama and i accompanied papa to naia for his scheduled flight that day. while we were on the way, a soul-crippled mmda man approached us and asked what we were looking for. i didn’t replied. his looks are the typical fat bellied man with a large black shades. add the annoying voice and look i saw and heard.</p>
<p>we were really looking for a taxi.</p>
<p>this fat bellied man called for one. — an airport taxi.</p>
<p>the place isn’t really a loading area. but heck, an mmda man called for one? he is supposed to call that a traffic violation. this seems odd.</p>
<p>we went in to the taxi. the mmda man won’t let the taxi go. he was asking for a “LAGAY”, as we, filipinos, call it. a small amount of 20 pesos in exchange of letting the taxi go out of his CORRUPT HANDS.</p>
<p>i was completely angry upon seeing that.</p>
<p>but for the driver, maybe it was just an another cross road to a corrupt mmda. maybe he experiences that many times a day!</p>
<p>gimme a break.</p>
<p>this epidemic is worser than h1n1 virus. their fate seems to go parallel. as h1n1 virus still doesn’t have a sure cure, same with this corruption virus that infects people and kills their conscience.</p>
<p>it’s not just about the mmda thing. it’s about everyone.</p>
<p>it’s not just the mmda’s. it’s also the workers, teachers, government officials, and also students who choose to be infected with the deadly virus.</p>
<p>i admit, i was a part of the corruption. i cheated answers, occasionally. it is only in college where i joined forces with the righteous fighting for honest education. well, mere cheating is already a corruption. it can kill the conscience of a person — with the consequence that can be inculcated to one’s being.</p>
<p>see this, the whole picture can be completed. a person doing his corrupt feat, with the others being familiar to that corruption. then others will ignore it — given the fact that a person do that every now and then. CORRUPTION CULTIVATED.</p>
<p>it is NOT JUST about them. IT IS about us.</p>
<p>it is between choosing to go with the corrupt, or go against them.</p>
<p>what will you choose?</p>
<p>it’s up to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s June 15 , start of classes for the school year of 2009-2010, and yet again another year of painstaking studying and hurdling new faces on campus.  I found my first day of school no different from the previous ones, because I don&#8217;t expect alot of changes since it&#8217;s only been a few months vacation. And what I do think about schools like AdU is that change or inclusion in facilities is a yearly or so process since our budget is &#8220;semi-poorly&#8221; unrivaled compare to other frivolous catholic schools.</p>
<p><em>Pero kahit papano naman</em> curiosity still fills my mind <em>kung meron nga ba? </em>Well, I don&#8217;t want to underestimate our school&#8217;s capability of change since it&#8217;s been operating for almost eight decades.</p>
<p>-OK OK enough of the sarcasm. Let&#8217;s go onto details. haha</p>
<p>While I was walking around, going to ST Canteen, I was able to smell this irritating stentch that makes my hand cover my nose at a heartbeat <em>kasi ang</em> <em>sakit talaga sa ilong tsaka ulo.</em> <em>Sabi na ba</em> it was the smell of <em>thinner. Include mo na rin yung paints. O diba ang gandang salubong sa 1st day. </em>Then as the smell gets stronger<em>, I expected na malapit na ko dun sa</em> <em>pinanggagalingan nung smell. </em>Then I saw this sweaty men with half of their faces covered in cloth and armed with carpentry tools. <em>Pukpok dito pukpok</em> <em>dun</em>. <em>Ahhh&#8230;.OK. Ni-rerennovate pala nila ang</em> computer lab nearby the ST canteen. I felt glad when I saw it because they&#8217;re making changes in our school&#8217;s facilities again <em>kasi may mga nirennovate din sila last semester.</em> <em>Kaso nakakaasar talaga yung amoy. Parang gagawin kaming adik.</em></p>
<p><em>Akala ko yun lang. Aba hindi pa pala yun</em>. Kasi, when I entered the ST canteen, I noticed something different (<em>hindi yung dami ng tao. Asa ka pang</em> <em>oonti ang tao dun</em>). The interiors were rennovated also, <em>pero pakshet ang init parin.</em> The food counters were changed from a boring serving area of food into a fastfood like ambience sans the proper ventilation of the canteen.haha They have repainted the whole interiors with reds, oranges, and yellow, and a little touch of blues. They refurnished the food counters and ceilings. And the lighting,<em> sabi ko sayo fastfood na fastfood. May drop light and mood light pa. I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s a bad thing. Actually, it&#8217;s a good thing kasi &#8221; from a boring palette of pale whites and yellows and rushly tiled counters, nagkaroon ng life ang ST canteen nung binago aside from the ample amount of people inside of it&#8221;.  Dun nag start ang thought ko na inoonti onti rin nila kahit papano.</em> I don&#8217;t know if  this is about the IQUAME stuff or the administration just had an epiphany to make changes for the good of our school. </p>
<p><em>Hindi lang yan, marami pang ibang binago, nirennovate at ni-redesign,but I&#8217;d rather leave you with what&#8217;s already written above.</em></p>
<p>I<em> guess masasabi ko na swerte ang batch namin</em> because we have AdU at the verge of its process of progression &#8220;physically&#8221; (I don&#8217;t know if the education system did change).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, let&#8217;s hope that progression leads to something much better.</p>
<p> </p>

Let your universe do its own thing&#8230;
- A phrase that never sticks out of my mind. Always reminding me that all things in life aren&#8217;t supposed to be planned as always. Making me realize that you must not throw in too much expectations in your life even though you know you deserve better.  Just like the wind, your life [...]]]></description>

<blockquote><p>Let your universe do its own thing&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>- A phrase that never sticks out of my mind. Always reminding me that all things in life aren&#8217;t supposed to be planned as always. Making me realize that you must not throw in too much expectations in your life even though you know you deserve better.  Just like the wind, your life goes wherever it should go whether following a path or being a stray breeze.</p>
<p>Particular experiences have been brought in my life and believe me most of them are pretty tough and rough to handle. <em>Mapapamura ka</em> <em>talaga</em>. And then suddenly this particular phrase from a little book changed my perspectives in life and how I contradict it: &#8220;Let your universe do its own thing&#8221; . . . <em>Pag may nangyari, hayaan mo lang.</em> It&#8217;s suppose to happen even though you don&#8217;t want it to happen, beacuse God is challenging you on how not  to contradict the challenges, but to accept it. Making Him the architect and you the engineer <em>ika nga.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>In good or bad, positivity attracts positivity so whatever b******* comes in your life, just think that the niche of God is partaking onto it. Think positive! <em>Alam nmn nating sa aspeto ng siyensya lng nag aattract ang positive at negative diba? Iba yun sa buhay ng tao. Pag positive ka, positive din ang lalapit sayo. </em></p>
<p>From a former<em> &#8216;petiks&#8217; or &#8216;tambay&#8217;</em>, now an ambitious architecture student, I don&#8217;t expect my life to be glamorous or abundant as I would want it to be. <em>Basta</em> I only do what is right in order for me to have a right path in life no matter what God&#8217;s blueprint on my behalf might be. <em>Bahala na siya, hand-in-hand na lang kaming dalawa. </em></p>
<p> [This] phrase has done a lot for me not only on the way I think but also on how I should see life on the flipside.</p>
<p>Now, no wonder why most people have so much wrinkles. Haha.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>&#8220;Strive to be simple. Live like a rock!&#8221;</em></p>
