My second year first term just passed like a wind and I didn’t notice that I’m not updating my blog for one whole term so this is the summary of the events/things during/about my first term second year at De La Salle.
1. We watched The Da Vinci Code with Jade, Glenna, Ate Bel and Carmella (Ate Bel’s Block Mate). In that Movie, I understood the parts of the story which I don’t understand in the book.

2. I treated Arik and Avis in Red Ribbon because I promised to have a blowout if I’m DL. But on that day also, we planned to go to Katipunan but unfortunately, the weather didn’t allow us.
3. Joshua treated us in Pizza Hut for his birthday with his BB44 classmates including Erika which is still coming from UST.
4. LSPO: I'm still confused if I should continue volunteering in that office because as you know, my beliefs is different on what LSPO is promoting which is to be close to God. By the way, I have an assignment to make the layout of the LSPO newsletter. I hope that newsletter become successful because that will be the first issue if accomplished.
5. Arik and I watched XMEN 3 and that was my last movie for the term.
6. Kris' Debut at Grilla: Kristina (Kris for short), a friend of mine from the communication arts, had her debut at the Grilla at Rockwell. Gian, Jarem (fellow political science students) and I used Jarem’s car to go to that bar. Unfortunately, the car ran out of Gasoline at the front of the Ateneo in Rockwell so we manually pushed the car going the side of the street but we are already lucky that thw car didn’t stopped in EDSA. It also a coincident that Jarem’s big brother is studying Law in Ateneo so he help us out to refill the gasoline tank. Unfortunately again, after the refilling, on tire become flat. After long fixation, we still managed to go on Kris’ debut.
7. Erika's Debut: Before that, Jerahmeel Jade and I planned to buy gift in Glorieta two days before the party. Later, Glenna, Joshua and Frances planned to watched a movie with us knowing that the palace announce that there will no classes at the next day but unfortunately, the palace lifted the order so we failed to watch because Frances had an exam on the following day. Instead of watching movie, Jerahmeel just treated us in Wendy’s because it was his birthday few days ago. On the day of the debut, Joshua, Jerahmeel, Gerard (which is coming from La Salle Dasma) and I went to the party but Jade didn’t come because he is sick so I was the one who told his line in Erika’s 18 symbolic gift. The party was fun but we didn’t finish the disco part because it’s already late night. The three decided to sleep at my condominium and we bought some drinks but of course, I didn’t drink. We played some pokemon cards and discussed about many matters about life.
8. LOS GWAPITOS: The Los Gwapitos is a group of Political Science students including me which became my College Barkada. The other members are Brian (the one in charge in our friendster), Chris (I always stay in his house and doing computer game and online matters. He is also interested in Anime and Yugioh like me), Jag (We always dbate on many things) and Aiko(He has a car so we can go whatever we want like in Mall of Asia).
9. UAAP Game with Carmina: Carmina and I planned to watch the game between the UE and Ateneo. I fetched her in Katipuna because Ninoy Aquino Stadium is just along Vito Cruz. When we arrived at Taft, first, I treated Carmina in Yellow Cab as my accomplishment to her when I become DL. Arik also come in Yellow Cab but he didn’t join us in the game. We sat on the General Admission Area which is still lower that the Upper B of the Araneta Colisium. We sat in side of Ateneo because obviously, Carmina is an Atenean but I didn’t side to either UE and Ateneo because I’m still loyal to La Salle… hehehe..
10. Glenna's Debut in Club Mwah: It is very hard to find the venue because they say that Club Mwah is just in Boni along EDSA but it took us (I’m with Ate Bel that time) almost two hours to find the venue because a traffic officer said the we should still ride a jeepny in Boni. Fornutanety, we are not the most late to come but the others including Joy Mangubat with his BF Joeffel and her (Glenna’s) blockmates were already there. Later, Joshua, Frances together with Dianne Querrer and her Brother came. The show had started after a while which is performed by gays and it’s wonderful. After the show, disco came next. By the the way, it's also the birthday of Jade on that day!!! He treated us in Old Spaghetti House for lunch.
11. Frances' 18th birthday: In that day, I have a dilemma and where to go because Roselia, a friend from LSPO had also her debut in Laguna but I chose to go to Frances’ because Laguna is far. I went with Glenna and Precious and Diane Querrer also came. When we were going riding on the taxi 12am, a police officer apprehended the taxi for such violations but I think those policemen just wanted to get some money.
12. Philosophy of Religion (PHILORL): Laureen Velasco was our professor in that subject and many are saying that I must drop the course knowing that she is a terror one and other said that she is an Atheist. But I didn’t drop the course because she is also my professor in the Introduction to Philosophy which I got 2.5. On the issue of Atheism, she is not actually an atheist; others just don’t understand why she is exposing us to that kind of belief. Actually, she is just in the between like me which not affirm nor deny the existence of God and doesn’t care about the debate of Theist and Atheist because I know that no one will win on that debate unless they take suicide and see what is true. The more important thing is to do what is good and right. She has the specialization in Zen Buddism which is the hardest part of her lectures but in the end, I still managed to get a 4.0 and I think that is one of my greatest achievement in La Salle; getting 4.0 from a terror professor. Others can’t believe on my grade on that subject because they said that it really hard to take that professor and they can just get 1.0 or even 0.0. I have no friends in that class because all my classmates are higher batches. There is a philosophy major in that class who just got a 1.0 and when we saw my grade, he was wondering why he just get 1.0 and non-philo major like me got a 4.0. By the way, we are three 4.0 I the class as announced my Ms. Velasco but I don’t know who are the two.
13. Chemistry Lab (LBYCH05): Ms. Angelica Lim, our professor in the subject maybe the kindest prof I ever had in La Salle. She treated us in McDonalds one time and she gave 4.0 grades even though we are not doing well. She didn’t give any quiz or final exam. I’m with Brian and Aiko in that class
14. Chemistry Lecture (ARTSCHE): I still get a 3.0 in that class not even studying because it is hard for me to understand Chemistry. All the exams are multiple choice and I just using my luck to pass. I had a pre-final grade of 1.5. But after taking the final exam, I still managed to get 3.0 and I don’t know how was it but Aiko and Brian said that they “make bola-bola” of the prof to make me high because I have a favour for them to do. That class is fun becasue aside from Aiko and Brian, Martin and Angelo (Our classmates in English 1) was also there and also our new friends Jaja and Tracy.
15. FILIPINO 2 (FILIPI2/FILDLAR): The professor in that subject is Maam Raquel Sison-Buban which they say that to be a sure pass. She is also my professor in FILIPI1 and I got a grade of 3.5. We had a classmate at that time that also got 3.5 not going to class in the entire term that makes the rumour true. On the course card giving, I just got three but when I looked at my grades online (which is the more accurate one), it was 3.5.
16. GENDERS: I was a subject about sexuality, about the issues, violations, equality etc. I managed to get a 3.0 in that class of Ms Pamella Averion because she didn’t give any quizzes and all she gave are just projects and papers. I was with Jag and Chris in that class.
17. Church and Sacraments (RELSTWO): I always debate with our professor Mrs. Cadsawan and my classmates on many subject matters on that class but we are still friends out side the classroom. I class requires a Church service and I did that in Mt. Carmel Church in Lipa with Jade (we are in different class but he is also taking RELSTWO). I managed to get and 3.0 in that class inspite it is after my Philosophy of Religion schedule wherein those have conflicting ideas.
18. Philippine History (KASPIL2): I was my first 7am class in LaSalle by Mr. Roberto Mata and every Friday, a have a very break from 8am to 2:30pm. I got a 3.0 in that class and my classmates are from College of Bussiness and Economics because I was cross enrolled.
19. LSPO Sports Fest: I played basketball and we won even though we have just 7 members in the team and our opponent has 12. In Volleyball I played in the first set but they immediately removed me from the game because of many errors including when I spiked the ball back to the opponent’s court after the opponent’s service not knowing that it is a violation called service block. After the sports fest, I have lot of body pains for days.
20. Course card distribution: When I’m waiting for Chris in the Amphitheatre I saw Camille, a friend from international studies, and her sister and they sat on my bench. When Chris came, we went to the room of Mr. Mata with Camille (because we have the same prof but different subjects) to get course card. I’m not expecting 3.0 but in is written. The next was the course card in RELSTWO which is also 3.0 then FILIPI2 also 3.0 (but 3.5 in the online). After that, we had a long break so we went to Mall of Asia using Aiko’s card to eat lunch. Chris and I saw a Yugioh deck and we are planning to buy that on the first week of the second term. When we go back, I first go to the room of Ms. Velasco, my philo prof, and I’m very afraid that time expecting that my grade will just be 1.5 or 2.0 that removes my chance of being a DL because I’m that sue of the result of my exam in Zen Buddism. But When I saw the course card, I was 4.0!!! Then I got my GENDERS card after that with a grade of 3.0. My course cards in Chemistry Lab and Lecture were given earlier with a grade of 4.0 and 3.0 respectively. When I will compute my grade, obviously in more than 3.0 because I don’t have a grade below 3.0 and that makes me a DL. I think it would be the last term that can get grades with no 3.0 below because the subjects for the next terms are already majors and I’m sure that those are already difficult. After the coure card distribution, Glenna, Joshua and I went to Glorieta because Glenna had to buy something there. When Glenna bought bag on Gift Gate, there is a free picture taking so we had picture taking inside the Gift Gate Store. After buying, Glenna and I go back to Taft leaving Joshua there because he had a party to attend to. After getting her things from the dorm, we went to Buendia and ride a bus going to Lipa.
21. The Vacation: I have a two-week break and the class will resume on September 11 and I think that's Avis' Birthday. Am I right? And the 12th will be Carmina's. Blowout!!! (joke). I'm busy watching Anime series like Yugioh, Fushigi Yugi and Gokusen. My blockmate Norman had a sleep over in our house for two days and we played NBA Live but the standing is 2-0 in his advantage. I cannot beat his Kobe Brayant!!! hehehe. Tomorrow, I'm planning to watch the level 10 Mass Dance and I will meet Carl (a member of the original 6, high school barkada) and maybe also Mavic. On Monday, the classes will start and that means I'm already in the half way of my college life because I already accomplish 4 terms then after that second term, there are also another 4 terms to be accomplished.
