The 2nd Mindanao Volunteers Convention ended last Friday. Two and a half days jampacked with lectures, workshop sessions, meeting friends, networking with other pathmakers, and fun, and lots of fun. I have enjoyed the conventions, mainly because I have met people - old friends, new friends, and people I don't even know who go on to become friends. It's a real high for those of us who like a fast pace. Lectures, talks and group dynamics activities interest me too. But, it's still draining. So, I try to take little "breaks" to recoup my energies. But, what I really like in the convention is that co-participants were very friendly and talented, that - sometimes a friend you hadn't met yet passes by, sees you, and drops beside you for a brief chat. That’s always nice. You might have missed each other otherwise. For that, I am overwhelmed and so very, very grateful. Thank you, everyone. Right now, I’m missing them so much - friends from HCDC, AdDU, XU, AdZU, FSUU,...

Wow I haven't seen them in years! Well, last night was the first ever night that I have ate BBQ and Durian with my HS classmates in baywalk. We had about 8 people show up, and everyone seemed to have a good time. It our sembreak, for that reason, we have decided to share some time together with our HS classmate since they went home to spent 2-weeks vacation here. We have watched D.O.A. – ‘Dead or Alive’, ate Durian, mall hopping, and shared laughter and stories of our different life in college, and other things that we are common. It was really a different thing spending time with your old HS classmate-friends. I can’t imagine that we have grown that much and differently - Environment really affects one’s personality. But, the good thing was – we have changed for advantage, maturity and independence. On Christmas, we will be scheduling to have another get-together party. I Hope more of them will be coming home and will be participating. We'll do this next year and next, and hop...

I didn't have to do anything today. After spending an hour or so updating my links, I decided to update to Blogger Beta. Well after doing all of this, I had to redo all of my links and layout my page again. After doing it, I found out that Blogger Beta does not enable comment. Yeah, it is in Beta stage. I should have read its features offered first. Anyway, they assured user of Blogger Beta that they will be working for comment modification and enables it. Beta stage of Blogger is under experiment and testing. Only one thing I hate about this Beta version, I can’t comment on Blogger Blogs that haven’t migrated to the Beta version if the Blogger has set their options not to allow anonymous comments. So to all of you who don’t see me commenting like I use to in your Blogs, sorry. I can’t if you don’t allow anonymous comments. But blogging wise, I find Blogger Beta version no difference with the old one. If I did not convert to their default templates, everything is almost the same ex...

My mother had once said, "Don't put off things for tomorrow what you can do today." I'm stubborn. I don't do the things that I'm supposed to do. Even I know I need to comply with all my requirements. It's not that I'm lazy, but it's just that I am not driven. I don't exert enough effort. I am just too tired and been used up. But I know I can manage doing them all this day. I just want to get sleep and rest. Okay, well, I am lazy. Maybe a little bit. I have many things to do and I don't know which one to do first. I used to be so good at prioritizing, but now, I am not so sure of myself. Final Exam is next week, and I need to study + accomplish all my requirements. Please God, I have been good. Help me!
