    *maybe subject to change


    - from Roy Abrio

    I'm quite worried because for almost a week, I haven't study. A week ago, Onkel Edwin died. Emotions are still up high and I opt not to dwell and entertain feelings that can make me sob. As of now, I'm trying to convince my self to stay focus on two things. One, Onkel is happy in Heaven with Papa Lord. Two, I must compensate the "no studying days". Another thing, I'm not comfortable with how I look because of these dark linings under my eyes. Stress Sucks! As part on how I want to improve my self on handling things, I'm trying to live up Ne-Yo's lyrics "I'm too fly to be depressed"

    We did not celebrate my birthday last Monday because it is against Filipino Culture when someone in the family passed away. Despite of the family situation, I'm very overwhelmed on the greetings that I received. As I grow older, intangible things make a lot more sense.

    My Sincere gratitude!

    Miss October



    I always keep going. I don’t let problems get in my way.

    My determination and enthusiasm always find a way to make things work


    Everyday, I always try to become that person. Not because that is what people tell me who I am and that I must live with it but because they have seen that in me with greater chance that what they are saying is true. At some point, I would say, fool they are to say that. At this point, I would ponder, fool I am who cannot see that in me.


    We may stretch ourselves too thin into who we want to be and who we ought to be. The bottom line is, whatever we do, we do it by choice. Today, I choose to say goodbye from the blogsphere and do good in planet earth. Most of the time, we make sacrifices for something bigger and greater out there. Internet, Volleyball and all comfort zones, I'm saying bye bye to ya'll. This would be just temporary and I would be really happy to see you guys (Hello, anybody there? ) again when I come back.


    On October 26, next Monday will be my birthday. I'm wishing for my family's health, the result of my examinations will favor me and Love. Love for family, friends, or a partner maybe. No more anger in my heart, Carrying it is just too heavy.


    When I come back, I want to make a difference on my writing style. I am well inspired by chun's blog. Every post he writes simply inspires me to become better. Opps! gotta go. Wake me up when November Ends!


    A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.




    It's Back!



    I'm glad UAAP Basketball is over because it means it's time for good volleyball action! But wait, before you get gaga over UAAP volleyball, lets first enjoy the delightful dish Shakey's has offered. You heard it right! Shakey's Vleague is BACK! Its SVLG Season 6, 2nd Conference!

    Here's the List of University Of Santo Tomas' players. Allona Denise Santiago, Katrina Carangan, Roxanne Pimentel, Judy Ann Caballejo, Maika Angela Ortiz, Maruja Banaticla, Aiza Maizo, Jennifer Fortuno, Jessica Curato, Sarah Jane Gonzales, Hannah Mance, Marie Michelle Grace del Rosario, Ma. Angeli Tabaquero and Rhea Katrina Dimaculangan.

    As you see, there are a lot rookies as the team compensates for the famous players who already left the team namely, Mary Jean Balse (who was last season's guest player), Bernice Abigail Co and Denise Patricia Tan.

    For those who missed the UST and FEU skirmish last October 13, 2009 here's a site

    *Notice when Angeli Tabaquero's name was called during the introduction? wow! A lot of people screamed! The crowed favorite is back!!! Take Note, She's better than before. Cross court, sharp spikes, blocks and pamewang pose!
    *No show for Irish Morada, somebody tell me why?
    *I like this Maruja girl, making a lot of effort when serving (She JumpServes). She's confident, has a lot of potential, future superstar!
    *UST showing that they are the Queens of the NET! Solid Blocks! hanep!
    *UST's Floor defense is killing them!
    *2nd Set: Dmac's Drop shot was awesome!!!

    Secret Love Letters

    I used to write poems, eventually I would end up deleting them because i felt its corny. Big regrets, it's always great to look back at the past. Though most of the time, I'm teasing myself how stupid I was before, reading them is a good recapitulation on how I improve on handling things. Though sound unbelievable, I would say that I'm more emotionally mature now. A lot of things can go bad and can make us blue, I am learning to Master my Emotions!



    If you'll excuse me, allow me to cam whore even just a little. Just great! I wasn't able to delete it all. Here are some of what I have written.

    BILLET DOUX
    I know when there's something special and when there's not.

    I know he is special but we have no special knot.

    We are plain friends, Very good in fact.

    I would want to have that status for now and for tomorrow.
    I admit, there are times that i get jealous but nothing serious.

    I am very happy to see him happy.
    Having him as a friend is more than too much.

    FACES AND FECES
    Now, there's no sense of keeping that secret,
    I want to take this out of my chest...

    If your still too weak to keep it, then I'm strong enough to tell them the truth.
    There's no point of hiding, well it seems like you don't care anymore anyway.
    So why bother if I'll tell them our little secret, right?
    Well, they are part of the story in the first place.
    Don't worry, i won't put dirt in your name, in your sacred name.
    Asking why do i have to share it?
    People may learn something about our story.
    Entertainment or lessons maybe,
    About lies, trust and how life can be interestingly played,
    just the way you did.


    *aka I'm keeping a secret, because you're too weak to keep it. This was written for a friends who sort of deleted me their lives. What hurts was that, when they would express how important you are for them and then suddenly they go offline, idle until now. I have to totally overcome with this, I'm just wishing them happiness wherever in the world they maybe.

    FINDING PETERPAN
    Sometimes people do something than does not make sense at all.
    Finding peter pan was not just a game.
    Just so you know, I succeeded, and I found more that I ought to know.
    I can't believe i'm gonna write this.
    IT SUCKS!
    Finding answers only leads me to find more questions.
    Questions that does not really require answers.
    ACCEPTANCE.will do.
    and again, IT SUCKS!

    *I could vividly remember how pissed I was. Good thing, I'm not having that heavy feeling anymore. Guess if we cant understand how things are, why bother understanding them There's always bigger and greater out there, so live that chaos behind. Smile and Move forward!

    SLOW DANCE

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE POEM. Apparently, it is related with great controversy.

    This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital. It was sent by a medical doctor - Dr. Yeou Cheng Ma. Please do what you can to help fulfill this young girl's dream by also reading what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.

    S L O W D A N C E:

    Have you ever watched kids
    on a merry-go-round
    Or listened to the rain
    slapping on the ground?

    Ever followed a butterfly's erratic
    flight
    Or gazed at the sun into the fading
    night?

    You better slow down
    Don't dance so fast
    Time is short
    The music won't last

    Do you run through each day on the
    fly
    When you ask "How are you?"
    do you hear the reply?

    When the day is done,
    do you lie in your bed
    With the next hundred chores
    running through your head?

    You'd better slow down
    Don't dance so fast
    Time is short
    The music won't last

    Ever told your child,
    We'll do it tomorrow
    And in your haste, not see his
    sorrow?

    Ever lost touch,
    Let a good friendship die
    'Cause you never had time
    to call and say "Hi"?

    You'd better slow down
    Don't dance so fast
    Time is short
    The music won't last When you run so fast to get somewhere
    You miss half the fun of getting
    there.
    When you worry and hurry through your
    day,
    It is like an unopened gift....
    Thrown away...

    Life is not a race.
    Do take it slower
    Hear the music
    Before the song is over.

    PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL. ALL FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.

    Dear All:

    PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know. It is the request of a special little girl who will soon leave this world as she has cancer.Thank you for your effort, this isn't a chain letter, but a choice for all of us to save a little girl that's dying of a serious and fatal form of cancer.

    Please send this to everyone you know... or don't know. This little girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own. By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people!!!!

    So I know that we can send it to at least 5 or 6. Just think it could be you one day. It's not even your money, just your time!!! "PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST"

    Dr. Dennis Shields, Professor
    Department of Developmental and
    Molecular Biology
    Albert Einstein College of Medicine of

    TRUTH BEHIND THE STORY
    According to the American Cancer Society, the email is a hoax. The poem was written by David L. Weatherford and published by the Russ Berrie Company in 1991. Weatherford copyrighted the work with the Library of Congress in 2001. There is no way for forwarded emails to be accounted for even if someone wanted to make a donation for each one, and the professor named at Yeshiva University, Dr. Dennis Shields, says he never had anything to do with any such story. If you dial his number, you get a recording saying the story is not true.Besides, E-mail tracking as it is described in the letter is technologically impossible.





    Where I'm From, Eveyone's a Hero



    I created my tumblr account few weeks ago. Pardon my ignorance, I do not know how to nor even how to rebloglike a post. So I'm posting this photo here instead. Though Filipinos may be famous because of corruption, *Ningas-Kugon, etc these things are overshadowed by our amazing qualities.
    Filipinos can smile though in a great trouble.
    Hospitable. Friendly. Cheerful.
    Filipinos are noted for our resilience and durability.
    Not even super typhoon can bring us down.
    .
    .
    .

    Above all, we are always there to lend out helping hand.

    It is not the right time to point fingers on who to blame. Blessed are those who love their brethren as much as they love themselves. (No, I'm not just pertaining to Filipinos because there are a lot of foreigners who helped). Volunteers, People from cyberspace who spread the news, Donors and all the unnamed modern day heroes who exert efforts to heal our country against the devastating typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana). Either you braved the floods or simply clicking your mouse and spreading the news. The bottom line is, you made a change.

    Where I'm From,
    Everyone's a Hero

    *Ningas-kugon, a Tagalog idiom that means something that is not permanent, usually connotes a behavior or action not meant to last (www.seasite.niu.edu).
