MONEY, MONEY

money- medium of exchange. this is what i've learned from my economics/ health eco subject. well, let's face the truth, even if most people say that money is just a material thing and is really not important in our lives... IT IS! if one does not have this 'material thing' how would he thrive, right? especially these days. tsk, tsk. price hike! oh my god. i ate at KFC and ive realized that my favorite meal just added 2 pesos on its price! it's really sad. but yeah, KFC is not my point here. haha! i just want to share my thought. money is the source of evil, it is more than true. but don't you think it is a source of good things too?

EVIL- you saw this poor little beggar in the street- he is blind. you checked his tin can and it has 20 pesos in it. you grabbed the 20 pesos and ran. he won't see it anyway.
GOOD- you saw this poor little beggar in the street- he is blind. you checked his tin can and it has 20 pesos in it. you put your hand in your pocket and added 10 pesos so he would have more money to spend for food. he won't see it, but who cares? the matter is you helped.

here, here... i just want to share the story of my friend.. his big problem is money. more often than not, you can see him very sad and stressed because he has no more money to spend. sometimes his only money is 200 pesos for one week. living in manila? i know it's very hard to survive with only 200 pesos. i just help him by giving him some food cos he won't accept financial help. but believe it or not, if his friends are broke too? he would share the remaining 200 in his wallet. he has this very good heart. my point is... he who has only 200 pesos has the ability to share to the extent that he himself would suffer, how much more if he has more than that, right?

let us share our blessings... let us make money the source of good things, not the evil ones. if we have something to give let us not hesitate to be a helping hand to others. it's better to give than to receive as they always say. and remember... PAY IT FORWARD!

PS. after getting serious with that speech, i want to promote...

IT'S 5:30 AM ALREADY!!! being me- a slow little kid- i just stared at my cellphone. 'okay, call time is 6 am. i have to be at the lobby at 5:45. okay, okay.' after 30 seconds, i turned my desk light on and headed for my locker. then suddenly when i'm in the panic phase again, i realized that it's friday!

BEFORE! i hope to visit it really soon cos i want to be there before the beauty of the place really vanishes. i want to visit camp john hay, mines view park... hmm... PMA, for some reason. hahaha! i wanna go there next christmas vacation and see if it's really cold there!

ROME. i really love this place! i really really do... in my next life, i would choose to live in citta eterna... i actually plan to visit it in the future. that's a promise i made to myself many years back. hahaha! then i guess i really have to earn the money, eh? whenever i see scenes from movie taped in rome? i'm really 'oh my god! it's really beautiful! i wanna teleport there now! take me there. now now now!' (i have no powers. im just crazy) im gonna go to rome someday? si!










SINGAPORE. ive been here once... many years ago. and the city just caught my heart too. it's my second favorite next to rome. i'm really amazed on how disciplined the people are. on how the government manages to keep te city beautiful, clean and awesome! hahaha! i wanna go there on my graduation. to see and enjoy the place again... and to see bugs bunny in person. hahaha!





LONDON. i love london. my dad had been there and based from his stories? it seems to be a really nice city. i always love the brits. hahaha! i just love their accent. like... i'd like to buy a bottle of wata to drink in my ca tha (i would like to buy a bottle of water to drink in my car there) oohhh... so cute! haha! the london bridge is really cool too! and i love the way they call their places. westminister abbey, harrods, the alley... yeah. sooo cool! and i would love to see harry potter. im his greatest fan! haha! in my dreams, yeah..





MALAYSIA. i was just inspired by the advertisement in national geographic. 'malaysia truly asia' hahaha! that was so cute. i was actually LSS-ed by the tune. and hey, kuala lumpur is just 5 hours away from singapore! awesome, right?










i have so many more places in my mind. but hey, dont wanna put it all here. hahaha! anyway, im going to sleep now. goodnight fellas. ^^

i love lecture days.... NOT

i hate lectures the most! would you believe that we have to sit from 8 in the morning til 5 in the afternoon and copy the powerpoint presentation flashed even if they can just give us hand-outs! i can't believe them... and they gave us many many many quizzes. three quizzes a day? oh come on! i was really pissed. really!!! and they gave BORING lectures.

MONDAY. our first day. and i was really sleepy because slept late last night. my professor was talking about lymphocytes early in the morning. my eyes were getting really heavy and i cannot help myself from closing it. i was asking all my seatmates for some candy but they are all sleepy as well. hahaha! wasn't able to establish an acceptable conversation with them! know what i did? i did this...

hahaha! i tattooed myself so i won't fall asleep! that's just the first one. i almost covered my whole forearm with drawings. hahaha! i was so crazy.. when it was time for lunch, i was not sleepy anymore! hahahaha!


TUESDAY. i was sleepy again. see... this is an example of a good student. hahaha! but i can't help it! i t was soooo boring. we discussed about rabies and the hell i was soooo scared. because I WAS BITEN BY A DOG THREE TIMES ALREADY. my prof said that some people who were immunized with anti-rabies are still not safe, how much more if you're not immunized right? oohhh... just like me. im an un-immunized child. *tears! thank god they are not rabid dogs... well, that's just according to my assessment. haha! but i know im safe. im safe. im safe. im safe. im safe. im safe. im safe. im safe. IM SAFE. (uyy, im comforting myself. haha)

WEDNESDAY. last day!!!! ohhh... im so happy. and im not that sleepy anymore. hahaha! last day na eh! hahahahaha! we were dismissed early too. we went to the gym. when i went home? my body is aching! by 1o pm im asleep already. miracles do happen eh? hehe!

THURSDAY (today). i thought i was going home early but we had a film showing about rabies.... 'to understand it further'. it was soo scary! oh... i was almost crying while watching the film! i pity those people. and i really thank god that im still living right now and im not showing any of the signs and symptoms of rabies... and the dogs are safe. haha! THANK YOU GOD! we had lunch after... at burger king. then i went home.

(my meal at BK. haha! soo childish eh?)

...i hope next week would be easy for me. anyway, it's duty week. yehey!!! im going to white cross!!!!!! ^^

it's summer!

it's really sad to spend my summer alone. alone in the house again for 1 and a half months. and guess what? my mom and siblings are again in the happy land of saudi arabia-pigging out, shopping and doing things that i cannot do here. huhu! my sister is in manila. having her review for 7 days a week for 1 month. well i guess her life is harder than mine. haha! ooohhh. i am so crab! but i hate being alone... really! i am getting crazy... talking to our fat, lazy dogs, smiling alone, performing a song and dance number for myself. hahaha! what could be more crazier than that eh? i'm glad i had a new friend to chat with. well... he's quite far but he is really nice. heehee! and he gave me something more to do- imagine crazy things. nyahahaha!

i'm sure he'll give me punishment when he sees this. (oohhh. i love the hard gay part the best! hahahaha!)

God is always good by giving me my friends. cos i can't survive my summer without them! i'm glad we have these summer getaways. hahaha! and soon, really soon, we'll be hitting the beach!!! yehey! at least i have something to look forward to right? cos summer duty really made my summer... so un-summer. puerto galera is our motivation! hahaha!




i'm already missing my friends now... but i know i will see them tomorrow. just spending my time with them makes my day. our nonsense conversations give me a smile. our bully-each-other sessions bring me laughter. and their being a crab is just plainly funny. hahaha!

okay gotta go... hahaha! i know, i just end my blog so suddenly. im always like this. but whatever... gotta chat with mom! see ya!

PS. to bugs and my friends.... I COME IN PEACE. and bugs... please, no punishment okay? loves!!!! hahaha! -V-
