Hmm..This is Kinda Weird

Hello everyone!

Today is the last day for us, running a position in the Executive Board in MISA, to campaign for ourselves (duh?!)

Next week will be MISA's Voting Period and also, it's the voting period for the Sanggunian as well. Goodluck to all the candidates! :D

Just this morning, my sleep was disturbed by a message beep from my phone.  I received a message from a friend telling that my campaign material is in the Crystal Eagle (and how he described the blog is that it is a hate blog that entertains him LOL).  Anyway, so here's the catch.  I have a post here about my conversation with Cate Sison, which was used as a source by this Crystal Eagle.  Am I even that reliable to be used as a source?  This blog is to share my personal opinions.  If Crystal Eagle concluded that Cate is a user through my post, I think there is something wrong with that.

I, in any way, is not related with Crystal Eagle.  Perhaps, her stalking skills are DAMN LEVEL ASIAN that she reached my little world (blog).  I have nothing against her posts, neither praises to her posts.  And to have my campaign material, which eventually turned to be my header for this blog, posted there has no reason at all. Not to have many hits, not to gain fame, and most especially, not to campaign for myself.

Well, I must have been paranoid when my friend told me about this. C'mon! Wouldn't you be paranoid if that's the first thing you meet in the morning? LOL

Anyway, the only positive thing I see here is that my hits went up (hurrah!).  However, I think they just went here because of Crystal Eagle's reference. :))

It seems that we have an Ateneo Gossip Girl here :))

P.S. I'm going to change my banner again tonight since we are not allowed to campaign anymore this week ;)

Comments? :D

Elections...

Hi there! How are you all doing? :D

This is the time when almost all organizations and councils in our university are doing their elections for the next term's Executive Board.  And obviously, I am one of the people running for a position in my home organization, the Ateneo Management Information Systems Association (Ateneo MISA -  http://misa.org.ph).

It has been a struggle for me to choose what path to take.  I have been into a lot of options and fall back in case one fails.  But one thing is for sure, I have a chance to take tour on these paths.

First, running as the Vice President of Finance and Marketing in Ateneo MISA.  As you can see around 12MN of February 6, I have been changing my display picture and my timeline cover in Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/gabriellorenzosantos) As refered to my previous post, this is the cluster where I came from and I am now planning to be the head of this cluster.  It took me a lot of time to think of pursuing this path since I am evaluating my capabilities as the leader of this cluster, and also the welfare of the cluster if ever I win the elections.  (My platform? To follow on the next days :D )

If I failed my first choice, I proceed my second choice, to apply for Junior Term Abroad (JTA).  It was my close friend and block mate, Joan Magno, that inspired me to aim for higher once I didn't win the MISA EB Elections.  Even my dad is positive about this that he referred me to our relatives in San Francisco for me to ask whether I can stay for 5 months there to study in University of San Francisco for a term. Although this has a low probability, it is not bad to aim for higher! ;)

Those are only two of my options.  It would be great if you come and talk to me personally on my plans, whether about MISA, JTA, or other stuff.

Think Gains.Growth.Gabo for VP for Finance & Marketing! ;)
