Give a little love....

The Coke Planet Project 2007 was finally over. While we were not able to top the race held at SM MOA, I remained contented as indespicably, this was already an achievement for FEU TAMVOL having qualified as one of the ten finalists (there were 126 registered orgs)

The race last Saturday had been fun and insightful. This was the second time that FEU TAMVOL joined in an inter-school competition (First was in SIFE: Regional Exposition and National Expo). I am thinking of conducting our version at FEU. I am pretty sure this would be a creative venue to raise awreness among the tams regarding environmental issues.

Team TAMVOL was composed of Jane, RJ, Tony,

A couple of days before the Coke Event, Arvin, Mina, Chai and I spent the night in Malate. I missed orange bonding moments with my co-candidates in IASSC 0708 who I consider family already. In the afternoon, tay Mike and Joma treated me in Yellow Cab Morayta. I must admit I missed these two guys. They were two of my presidents when I was still young as a student leader. Joma’s with UST Law while Mike’s a language trainer.

TAMVOL officers who attended a conference in Singapore are back already. I hope they can apply whatever they learned from the international confab. RJ, RG, Sarah, Dino and Ren surely have a lot of stories to tell. Not to mention, aside from the confab, they enjoyed the luxury of an Asian tour.

Meanwhile, I attended the launch of the School for School program of ABS-CBN’s E-Media last October 16. I was with Angeli of FEUCSO and Kendi of Theta Kappa Rho. It was my first time there and I immediately enjoyed its physical environment. As someone who has been involved with community service for quite a long time though, I admit I don’t perfectly like the said program. Just the same, I am ready to provide assistance to Bicol through TAMVOL.

My mind is clattered like never before. I feel like I will have system breakdown anytime now. If I could just shutdown my system my access to the physical milieu, I would have done it long before. Now I know how it is to be human-mechanical. Ateneo’s Prof. Mau was right when she called me (our demo teaching group) robotic right after our teaching experience. I knew it and I hate it. This has been my comfort zone and I want to get out of it: try another one then leave when I can already sit pretty. I don’t understand you, you might tell me. I care less each day. Afterall, I grew tired pleasing people.

Good thing I know how to write. For years, this has been the channel of my emotions, don’t get me wrong. I don’t blog for people to read. I do blog because I have to let go of the little devils inside cursing and tearing me apart each day. I do it for good. Call it writing therapy.

Today:

I already enrolled my 15-unit subjects. For the second time, I felt like a stranger walking through the fabled FEU grounds.

I received an SMS from a contact center. Telling me my interview sked set tomorrow. I will have my first class by then though. Hope they approve on my rescheduling request.

I’ll go to PUP after FEU to get my laptop from tita. I badly need it for organizational academic paper works. My desktop at home is still in the repair shop.

I'm not attending school.

It is already November 6 and I have not enrolled yet. I was supposed to go to FEU this morning but due to personal reasons, I opted not to. I will be having four major subjects plus a rhythm and dance class this semester. I have learned that Dr. Soberano will be handling our research class while Prof. Arthur for our Teaching English as a Second Language class. I am just too excited about how my last semester will roll out.

In the meantime, I am driven to look for a job this November. I am no insensitive. I know I have to get working for my family. Good thing I will only have 2 class days this time. P.E. sked excluded. I have started floating resumes in (guess where) call centers. Choosy pa ba?

With this, I am worried f I can handle efficiently my responsibilies as a student leader. I hope I can enlist higher level of commitment and diligence of my two teams: ELC and TAMVOL.

Last Sunday, I was awed by the quotation shared by Pat Evangelista in her PDI column. It is all about reading; I might as well share it: "We read to know we are not alone” -C.S. Lewis.

Well, I must be happy then. (sighs)
