Where's your shame?

First and foremost, I do not own these pictures. I just got it somewhere (Googled it, actually).

Xavier University Engineering building (left), CIT building (right), engg satellite canteen (center)

The Engineering building - the home of the WARRIORS! I've been on this building for almost 4 years. Almost all of my classes are held here (obvious nman siguro noh, need not to mention na). Sorry to disappoint you but my post today is not about my good memories in this building but something about what I experienced (na naman) last week (Jan 13, 2012).

Just a little bit of orientation before I start sharing. Each floor there is a separate comfort room for male and female (alangan naman), the male c.r. is located in the left part of the building while the c.r. for the females is on the right part. So if we consider the second floor of the building, the male's c.r. is beside room E201 while the female's is beside room E205. This short story of mine happened in the female's c.r. beside E205.

 While Jennifer and Steph (wow naman oh special mention sila) are busy watching the movie Flipped, I had no one to invite to go to c.r. (I'm not desperate rin nman to have one), I went to the comfort room all by myself (it's not my first time to go alone ha!). There was no one else inside so I just went inside the second cubicle (the female c.r. has 3 cubicles). 

I was getting prepared to go out of my cubicle when I sensed another person entering the c.r. and sensed the person getting inside the first cubicle. Palabas na sana ako nang biglang narinig ko na lang ang tunog ng belt na tinatanggal at yung tunog ng ihi na from a higher height (ay sori na lang sa hindi pa nakakagets!). I knew right away that the person who entered was not a girl (ang kapal). I've heard of stories that some of the guys are actually using the female's c.r. especially when their classes are in E205 and when there's no one occupying the c.r., but this is my first time actually witnessing one (so kadiri)!!

I didn't have the nerve to go out of the cubicle since the unknown male is still there. When I heard him finish, I thought he's going already but guess what, he had the nerve to go in front of the mirror and "beautify" himself (bayuta!). When it came to me na sumusobra na siya, I thought of a way to let him feel my revenge (as in. revenge talaga yung term!). I flushed the the bowl inside my cubicle, and right there and then, I heard him rush out of the female's c.r.

BRAVO, I said to my genius self! Even though I was not able to see his startled face when I flushed the toilet, basing from the speed he ran... PANALO NA AKO! Anyways, that is not the point! How can the boys become so shameless sometimes??? We had lots of classes in E201 but never did I nor the other girls from our class dared to use the male's c.r., but sila confident na confident pang ngtatake-time magpaganda sa c.r. namin!! Is this their way of thinking talaga? Do they think that it's okay for them to do something out of the ordinary because they're boys? because they have the upper hand? Kung tutuusin, sila dapat yung may maraming stored energy so why not hindi na lang lakarin yung c.r. na intended naman talaga sa kanila? If this is the way they will behave, there is no knowing to what else they'll do when there's no one else around. hahaaaaaiist! But bilib din naman ako sa iba na talagang hindi ng sho-shortcut to attain whatever they want to attain. Mabuhay kayo!

Magpost yung mga gustong mag-comment or yung gustong mag-justify ng actions of some of the boys.

A fated experience?

I was on a jeepney on my way home yesterday, and as usual I was deep in my thoughts when an old woman carrying a cute puppy (di ko alam anong breed) went in. At dahil nakukyutan nga ako sa puppy, I sat closer to the woman (bandang entrance na ng jeep). Then the jeepney went as there were no more vacant seats.

When we passed by the Rotunda, a man quickly jumped onto the jeepney. Although hindi ko masyadong nakita mukha niya, I sensed right away that he was one of those 'tambays' (haha. very judgemental indeed!) Even though puno na yung jeep, pinagsiksikan pa rin niya yung sarili nya. He didn't sit next to me, a woman was sitting in between us. I almost found my way back to my deep thoughts ng biglang umusog yung babaeng katabi ko and let the new passenger sit comfortably. I then noticed the new passsenger's restlessness – he kept on turning not only his head but the half of his body!! I found it very irritating that every time he turned his head, he’s face is like 5 inches away from mine. Then it came to me, HE’S A WEIRDO!

The man I just newly branded ‘weirdo’ dropped off a few minutes after without paying for his fare and ran across the street to get into another jeepney going downtown again (abnormal jud). There was tension in the air when the konduktor shouted fervently asking for his pamasahe. As the driver decided to let it go, all the other passengers started talking about the man. Everyone else noticed not only his restlessness but also his PULANG MATA. They unanimously concluded that he’s a magnanakaw.

After everyone checked and found that there were no missing things, I listened to their chant of thanksgiving to God for saving us from the magnanakaw who might have had a knife with him. Yung isang pasahero panay ang sabi na iniligtas nga daw kami ng Panginoon dahil hindi Niya hinayaang may masamang mangyari sa'min.

Then our discussion in our Philosophy class that day suddenly popped out of my mind. It was about whether history is predetermined by fate or is it contingent. The thief could have sat beside me, he could have had the courage to declare holdup and had us give him every valuables we had. The passengers who noticed earlier that he was a thief could have spouted something or panicked that might have placed us in a not-so-good situation. I myself could have brought out something valuable enough in his eyes, but no I didn't. All these things didn't happen, the passengers were all safe and he wasn't able to snatch something. Was it fate? Was it predetermined that all of us would be safe? 

I read astrological horoscopes, and sometimes when I feel like I'm a little lost and confused of which way should I move forward to, I ask signs from heaven, but I'm not the kind of person who leaves everything to heaven's will. I am aware that in order to get where I want to be, I have to strive and make effort, but thinking that even my making effort and even the dreams I have now are already predetermined takes me back to the question Is history predetermined or contingent? 


Anyways, as the rest of the world is struggling to have an answer to that certain question, I will continue exercising my free will in deciding which way I want to go and achieving things I want to achieve. I may consult my horoscope again or do ask signs from heaven in the future, but I'll make sure that whatever I decide on will take me one step closer to my goal. Whether my goal is predetermined or not, as long as I know it will make me and everyone around me happy then GO, BRING IT ON!

my perst powst!

     This isn't my first time in this blog thingy. I was into freewebs and i also wrote things in my friendster blog before, but as lazy as I am, I eventually stopped updating those pages. I actually tried google-ing my freewebs page a while ago but was unsuccessful in finding it (or did freewebs actually shutdown?), and as for my friendster blog, i'm not quite sure if it's still there (didn't bother checking at all ^^ ). 

      I was quite hesitant at first to start blogging again, but with the influence of MAH SISTAH, here i am writing my first blog post. Sana ay mapanindigan ko po ang pag-gawa ng blog na ito. 

     I'm gonna have my tour here in blogger first since it's my first time here. See you around! ^^

to UP Diliman!!

     



       When I first learned about the upcoming ChemEng summit to be held in UP Diliman, I found myself browsing through www.cebupacificair.com, the official page of Cebu Pacific Airlines where one can book tickets and voice their other concerns (korek bah?). We immediately booked our tickets since there was a promo that time (MNL-CDO tickets were sold only for 12php!!).

     

    Our e-ticket (on the left) was then issued but even though the tickets were only P12, each of us payed P1455 for our roundtrip ticket. Ang laki pala ng tax fees pag-nkapromo yung ticket, but naka-mura pa rin  naman kami.

     As of now I think there are 28 of us who are going to this summit. All of us are excited already, di ko lang sure sa iba if san sila excited, but me I'm excited sa mga side trip namin!! First time ko kayang mag-Maynila!





     Speaking of first times, I feel that this year will be full of first times for me.. Ganda ng feel ko sa year na ito! That's probably one of the main reasons why I started this blogging thing today. Anyways, stay tuned to my posts in the future regarding this trip of ours. Will be posting lots of pictures for sure. :)
