For the third time, I can’t think of posting something interesting. And lately, I’m so nasasabaw, even in my day-to-day functions. Tsk. Now, it’s SOO freaking obvious: my academics and other activities nowadays continue to eat me up.

Because of this, I just decided to tag myself upon visiting Arnel’s page, who is now on leave.

Unibersidad ng Pilipinas: Sandaang Taon

Again, this is a random post. Due to the fact that my creative juices weren’t substantial enough to create a good post, I browsed my old blog (again!) to see my January posts. Most of my posts were about academics. Hell.

Second semesters are usually shorter semesters, I guess.

Last Tuesday, the University of the Philippines kicked off its centennial celebration with the theme, “U.P. @ 100: Ang Galing Mo!“.

Resolution 101

SHINNEN OMEDETOU!

Because I couldn’t think of anything to post as of the moment, I decided to click my old blog and see the post that I had last year. Though the post’s concept is quite banal, it has become an inspiration to my post this year.

Now, I’m not going to lay down my resolutions. Instead, I’ll evaluate my last year’s resolutions.

Attending classes regularly. Check! I’ve minimized my absences, especially during the first semester of my sophomore year. I was able to stop my chronic vice of not attending classes if I don’t want to. Finally, the cutting-ero in me is now gone. Haha.

On Punctuality. A big X! Haha. I still come late even if the class starts at 1 P.M.

Loving Math 11. CHECK! I do love Math now! Really! Actually, I have taken more Math units this year, including Math 14 (Plane Trigonometry) and Math 100 (Introduction to Calculus). Fortunately, I didn’t fail these subjects! Hail!

Playing DotA less and saving money. I haven’t played DotA for quite sometime now. However, saving money is still a big problem. Bad money management.

More time for texting, more time for studying and being a Scholar. Only this year that I have realized that these two things [texting and studying] are actually contradictory. Haha. Anyway, it’s fortunate for me to find time for both things, although the effort for the first semester wasn’t enough to become a University Scholar or a College Scholar.

Frequency of making stands on issues and of blogging. This is a big check. Some of my posts tackle issues, specifically political issues, that bug the country. I hope I could continue the practice more often. In the first place, this page won’t be called “The Political Buzzerbeater” if I would remain complacent on things of national importance. Moreover, I’ve been an active blogger this year and it somehow instilled in me a sense of achievement.

I want to thank everyone who have crossed my way, especially those people who didn’t just cross but those who were able to create a quality friendship with me. I’m proud that most of my new confidants were my co-bloggers. I hope to befriend more bloggers.

This year, my resolution is that everyday will become a resolution day. Anyway, who said that resolution-making is only done during New Year?

It seems that 2008 will be a great year for me.

I was able to complete the Rooster’s Mass. Most of my wishes were made, including the plain white Havaianas. Hehe. Now, I’m even happier that I started this year with a reconciliation to a person who made my 2007 damn unforgettable.

And my another set of wishlist? Hmm. It was a dream come true.
