A Shoulder to Cry on

This is quite creepy.

That was the first time I experienced that situation. A girl? Crying in front of me? Asking for comfort? God that was terrible for me. She approached me, smiling. Then, she turned back and started to cry. Of course for me I thought I did something wrong that made her cry. I felt so sad, at the same time, nervous. I didn't really know what to do.

We were together hours before that moment. We went to Ate Alma to leave a copy of Lit13 readings for my classmates. Then we proceeded to our Ma20 class. We were seated beside each other. After our class, she voted for the Sanggunian and I asked her to accompany me to Ate Alma to get the original copy and leave one copy there.  After that, we parted our ways. I went to the Faura open lab and she went to meet her boyfriend.

Just minutes (or nearly an hour) after we separate ways, I saw her near the stairs going to my direction. I thought at first she had a consultation with our MIS101 professor (because the lab was just near the DISCS office). Suddenly, she slowed down in front of me then she smiled. Then, she turned her back and started to cry. I asked her  if she's okay (of course she's not okay but I was just trying to lighten things up). Then, she murmured something but I didn't actually hear it well but it was something that "I guess that's how the things should go." (Remember, I didn't hear well what she said so there is no sure chance that I typed it correctly, even the message of what she had said). But with all those tears on her face, she still tried to smile once in a while. I even tried to laugh at some moment just to make her smile. I think she knew that I was shocked of what happened. BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY SHOCKING, DUDE! A few hours before that moment we were just laughing at each other and then she's crying over my shoulder.

It just feels so terrible..yet special. She actually approached me to release sadness. Still, I feel sad for her, for whatever happened. I just asked her to relax and we'll talk about it when she's okay.

Those Deadly Weeks

At last, those deadly weeks are over. I'm on my last hell week *sana* before finals. I have missed most of my responsibilities in my organizations because of this. Oh well, it doesn't matter because I prioritize my acads over orgs. It's just I took those responsibilities and now I'm actually neglecting them.

Hmm. Where should I actually start? My blog has been in hiatus for weeks because of two reasons: 1.) Busy or too much work to do and 2.) Laziness. Of course, even in the times when I can actually have some time to breathe normally, I can't open this blog and post stuff.

Oh, it actually started three weeks ago, when we are actually planning for our MIS101 Major project. Our project is to conceptualize an item that has microprocessor and can be used anytime (not just in office or home). This is quite difficult because we have to work on the minute components of the item. On the previous years, MIS upperclassmen used to make a revision of the National Museum, putting different stuff such as CCTV cameras, WiFi servers, etc., on the building to make it presentable to the tourists and the people. What makes the previous major project easier than what we do is they are actually dealing with objects that are present in the market. Our project must be new and innovative; thus, we do not have enough data for it. We only used the data of similar products which I find very unreliable.

After those caffeinated nights, I really enjoyed the feeling of putting our finished product (a 54-page product proposal paper) in the pigeonhole of our professor.

By the way, here is our conceptualized product:
That cute purple earmuff-man is actually our theorized company logo :D


What our item does is that it actually wipes out the unnecessary noise and leaving the human voices with the range of its Bluetooth.  We conceptualized this to help those people who often lose their focus when talking to somebody.

Our initial plan was actually to create an earplug that will actually wipe out human voice.  Then it became an earplug in which you can choose to wipe out the environment or the human voices.  Lastly, we arrived at this concept.

Now this week, I will try to cope with my responsibilities in my orgs and prepare for the defense in MIS101 plus the last long test in Ma20: Calculus for Economists (simply Business Calculus, in my own words only LOL)

Breaking Boundaries

It is good to step out of your comfort zone, or rather, expanding your comfort zone.

Last January 29, 2011, our block had our Exposure Trip in Manila Boystown in Parang, Marikina City. It was a very tiring activity but so much fulfilling. I had the Blue Christmas feeling again.
Block S2 with some of the kids.

Yesterday, I attended the Miting de Avance of the Ateneo Special Education Society of Ateneo-SPEED.  That was my first time to speak in such occasion.  I hope I'll succeed. VOTE FOR ME! :D

Also, I was accepted as the Finance head in the FreshMEAT Junior Core 2010-2011.  This could really expand my comfort zones because since grade school, I have accepted work which involves money.  This will be the start.
