toxicity

my monitor turned black. okay this may not be a sign of a good week ahead when while i was blogging and suddeny our pc crashed and right now, it's not functioning anymore. stubborn pc.

good thing, there's a laptop available:)

so here i am blogging before going back to my article rev about colonial education(which is really hard for me because of my cough). going back to my weeks' predictions, well, i admit i was wrong and definitely these past few weeks were the best despite the hectic sched.

okay here are the highlights: :)

august 26- shopping with nina!

here's the deal. we're gonna shop together for or clothes to wear on corregidor. and despite the pouring rain, we went anddefinitely as in definitely had fun!!! it was the best moments i had with nina. wee!

august 28- christ's youth in action graduation night

finally i can certify that i am a full-pledged cyaer after six weeks of 5:30 to sawa exchange christian life series at the pgh chaplain's house. well in spite of getting freaked out with walking every tuesday night at the dak streets of pedro gil, the experience was worth it! i had a chance to meet new friends not only from upm but from other schools--ust, plm, csb etc. and a chance to revive mty connection with the lord. (haha am i really saying this? haha). it was a one-of-a-kind experience. the pray over was the most eventful of all. i felt a different sensation within that made me so vulnerable. and the subtlety of it all made me cry so much that i found myself wondering how i cried that much. the dgl's said that at that precise moment we are to receive the gift of tongue which lets a person speak in a foreign language while in deep prayer. whether i did speak in it or not, i really don't have any clue but i know i prayed from my heart and worshipped god with all my might.

september 10- results with math17

what more can i say? bliss because i passed! and i'm super proud of my score. hihi :) yippee! i just have to fulfill my promise of treating my friends at chef d' (waaa!) and do something charitable. so goodluck with more dep ex's to come! :p

september 13- red day

hmm. although this hasn't happened yet, i am here to encourage evrey up student reading this blog to join the rally for the rollback of up's tuition and other fees increase. it doesn't matter if you afford it or not, what matters is to fight for the right of every student to gain quality education while preserving the objectives of the school: to reach out to the needy. if we don't act, who else will bring this matter into consideration? given that we can afford, that we can tolerate the increase, what about those who wish to have a good life, a good education but can't afford it?

this move is not only to fight for our rights but to prove that at this crucial time of economic and political crisis, we are united to work for the same goal for the benefit of the masses. it struck me when the rtr's cited about plm, with their tuition fee of 12pesos, boycotted their school when the proposal of 75% tuition fee increase was put into consideration. if plm can, why can't we?

so if you are a up student, show your support by wearing red on thursday, september 13. and see you on our struggle to fight for our rights.
