Top 16 Birthday Wishes

Posted on July 25, 2008 | Filed in Events and EXP | Comments (4)

On the night of July 25, 1992, in Imus, Cavite, a baby boy was officially added to the Philippine population. His parents has given him the name “Rob Jeremiah”, carrying their family name “Nuguid”. He grew up to be an ordinary boy, with no special attributes to be considered extraordinary. He is celebrating his 16th Birthday today…

It’s me!

When I woke up at about 3:00 AM this day, my grandmother was the first to greet me. I almost forgot that this day is an important one, because this day signals the 16th anniversary of my first breath. And for this special day, I want to share my birthday wishes with you. Here it goes:

I want to have:

  1. A long life (Well, I mean longer).
  2. A book entitled “A B N K K B S N P L A K O” (I learned from my classmate that this book is an inspiration for students).
  3. A good day ahead (Actually, it’s been good because we went to Fort Santiago, and I enjoyed the experience).
  4. A medicine for my coughs and colds (I have been suffering for months).
  5. A day-off from school (Thank God it’s Saturday tomorrow).
  6. A new issue of Reader’s Digest and Discovery Channel Magazine.
  7. A new post for my blog (That’s why I’m doing this).
  8. A haircut (and a new hairstyle too).
  9. An attitude change for all my bad traits.
  10. A  simple birthday party with my family.
  11. A conversation with my younger brother,and two grandfathers (If only God will permit).
  12. A new primary photo in Friendster (My current photo has been displayed for months).
  13. Good results for my Midterm Examinations (Help me pray).
  14. A GWA of 1.85 or better with a grade of 2.00 or better in English and College Algebra (I am keeing my fingers crossed).
  15. World Peace (Heal the world, make it a better place).
  16. Blog Comments! (Kindly leave one as your Birthday present, thanks)

Thank you for reading my special birthday post. Have a nice day.

I don’t feel good these days. I feel so weary – tired of the same mistakes that I used to commit. I don’t know what’s happening, but I am sure that I am doing my very best. It’s been a month since I entered college but it seems unfortunate that my performance was not enough to be considered good.

I remember myself, a few months ago, when I am still a senior high school student. By then, I’m just a happy-go-lucky student who considers learning to be synonymous with fun. Back those days, I am very eager to enter college, unaware of the perils that it has yet to offer…

I remember myself a few weeks ago, when I have received the result of my first test in College Algebra. That test is one of the worst nightmares that have entered my life. As I expected, the results turned out to be bad, very bad indeed. I just smiled that time and promised myself that my next quiz in this subject wouldn’t be like this one…

But today, it seems that I’m not improving. It’s always been the same old story in my college life. I don’t know why it seems to be this hard. Is College Algebra really that hard or is it I who seems to be the problem? Honestly, I don’t know the answer, although I’m sure that I’m doing my job as a student very well. Everyday, other problems arise and I don’t know if I can still deal with them smoothly.

I decided to make this post to release all of my feelings and emotions. It’s hard to keep them on my own. But I still believe that my situation would still be better. Besides, it’s too early to give up.

Perhaps I’ll just hold on to my dreams.

The “In, On, At” Fever

Posted on July 18, 2008 | Filed in Essays and Compositions | Leave a comment

In, On, At…

For two meetings in a row, our English Proficiency Instruction I class with Prof. Monje has been dealing with idioms and their proper usage. It’s just “funny” to know that I have been using the wrong idiom all along, whenever I’m writing essays, formal papers, researches, and blog posts. For this reason, I have reviewed my blog posts and tried to find out how many times I have been mistaken. The result – frequently.

This widespread “In, On, At” fever is very common not only among students but  also among the top professionals. Very often, we may encounter mistakes in the usage of these components but most of the time, we are just too busy to notice and probably because the mistake is just minimal. Or maybe, we are also one of those persons who seems to be ignorant of these facts. And I must admit that I, myself, am no exception.

Learning the English Language is a step by step process. You cannot learn it perfectly in just one sitting. Know the fundamentals and continue with the complicated ones. The “In, On, At” fever is just one of the English Impediments we encounter. But we must not be afraid to commit mistakes. All along, no one’s perfect therefore all of us commit a lot of mistakes.

Last Song Syndrome

Posted on July 16, 2008 | Filed in Images/Sounds/Videos | Leave a comment

I cannot recall the last time I listened to a song on my MP4 player. Months have probably passed by yet I didn’t notice that I have survived without one of my passions. This is a cause of my hectic schedule as a college student. But anyway, I see to it that I still find time to listen to my favorite songs whenever I go online. In fact, I have put one of my favorite songs on my Friendster profile.

Music. A thing that expresses what can’t be said by just pure words. It is a complete eruption of emotions summed up by melody. It is part of our everyday lives. We always hear it, we always feel it. Music is simply everywhere, from the mass you attended, to the rock concert you watched. Music is music itself.

Let me end this post by sharing with you the song I displayed on my Friendster Profile. It is entitled  “Falll for You” by Secondhand Serenade. Enjoy!

The Busy Weekend

Posted on July 12, 2008 | Filed in College Chronicles, Events and EXP | Leave a comment

Today is a Saturday – my favorite day for this semester. This is the day when I am given time to spend according to my own will and discretion. But this day also marks many obstacles, in the form of homeworks.

Early this morning, I met with an old friend – numbers. Faced with a mathematical problem like the one I have, the only thing you can do is to surrender and admit to yourself that you can’t do it no matter how hard you try. However, I have a different view. For me, you should do something, not just to run from numbers and realize in the end that you have started a life-long chase with them. It’s because numbers are part of our everyday life and there’s no escaping them. So I sat down and tried to answer my College Algebra homework. Fortunately, after a complete brain torure, I managed to answer one. And I intend to finish the others today.

Next in line is English Proficiency, who is also an old friend of mine. The act of answering 15 pages of homework turned out to be okay. The good thing is that English Proficiency is at least a notch easier than College Algebra.

The Civic Welfare Training Service assignment seems to be fine…at first glance. But it’s not. My right hand cried in agony as it underwent a series of writings to do.

The same goes on with other minor assignments that I have to deal with later. Although all of my days are busy, I’ll still find time to update you with my blog – that’s a promise.

Done

I must admit that it took me a couple of hours to come up with my new blog. One might say that I’m too slow in doing these things but it’s really time consuming to transfer my previous posts from my old blog to this one. It also took me a while to choose a template that will completely represent me in the online community.

When I got home from school, I my weary feet automatically directed me in front of my monitor. My sore hands from a day’s work opened the CPU for me. And it all began. My daily computer routine has started. I checked my Friendster, Multiply, and i.ph accounts but I really spent more time on i.ph. I also visited my previous blog and decided to transfer my posts to this new site so that I can come up with a big compilation of my thoughts.

And now that I am already finished, I would like to congratulate my self for a job well done. You can congratulate me too, just post a comment and you’ll relieve my stress.
