♥ Absence of motivation
How can you motivate someone who just gave up on themselves?
This was the first question that popped into my head when I tried in vain to help out my dear friend on their recitation grade in one of our class together. I felt as helpless as he was when he finally got picked by our dear wonderful prof and he failed to answer our prof's follow up question. My friend needed and still needs to bring up his recitation grade in order to pass the damn subject.
I felt bad too since my friend was asking for help from me, and this is a rare event since this friend of mine is actually a smart student and most of the time, it's me that's asking for help, and i failed to help him. (wow! that was a mouthful!) Anyway, I felt really bad...
I don't want to say that I know how my friend feels but, yes in a way, I know how it feels to be motivation-less. I can say that I've been on that limbo place where in I just want everything to just fall into their places without exerting any more effort on my part. Let's just say all I felt was pure laziness and helplessness. And of course, I thought it was ok...I already accepted defeat - then I fail and after looking at that final grade, I realized that I could've done better if only I studied much better.
I guess it's important if you have great friends who believe in your abilities...even if you yourself already have doubts on yourself. And I'm grateful for having these kind of friends, though I'm not really showing how grateful I am of them, I just make it a point to be there when they need me.
Ok, this has just turned into a mushy post. So there, sana gets niyo yung point...sorry kung hindi LOL

♥ Should I or Should I not?
*WARNING: Rantings ahead!*
Should I or should I not get irritated at a certain person? I know that I'm not the best person to work with since I'm a huge procrastinator, but seriously, I'm getting irritated. Some of my friends know this, though I'm not sure if they agree or may be they think I should not be getting irritated but there are times that this person is getting on my nerves. I mean you could help me out or something, but no, you are not helping - you're just there. May be this is all my fault, and I think you getting mad at me would be a better idea than me getting irritated at you. Just get mad at me, for pete's sake.
Ayoko lang na feeling ko na ipinapamukha mo sakin na mas achieved o mas magaling ka kesa sakin, I actualy know that already.
Maybe this is just a side effect of people already wanting to graduate or leave this term already. This term is getting more toxic than ever! I mean last term was the most toxic term and I think that this term is comes next in terms of toxicness. I'm ranting so just bear with me. I know I'm pointing at one person so I'm sorry (if ever that person reads this), I'm just getting overwhelmed by all the work that needs to be done.

♥ Surprise, Surprise
Ok, I'm on a blogging mood - so bear with me and this will be in Taglish...bear with meeee!
Last night, after kong idownload yung Course Offerings for next term at after ko din tignan yung flowchart ko, narealize ko na tapos na ako sa European Studies ko! Well, almost - one more Elective then I'm done with European Studies! Natuwa akong ewan...mixed feelings ikanga. I dunno if I should feel happy or sad...but surely I will miss visiting the IS department. Tas kanina on our way back home, my friend and I were discussing about it, at narealize din naming most of our friends would be graduating by next school year! Nalungkot ako and at the same time nainggit ako sakanila, sila magtratrabaho na at mageearn na sila ng pera, pero kami nasa school parin at wala paring pera. I guess I'll just look forward to graduating in 2011 and savor the time left for us to have fun and be careless before entering the very very real world.
Nakakaloka...7++ terms left and I will be leaving dear La Salle. I think I should start picturing myself working and earning moolah! LOL

I have been a fan of Francis Magalona ever since I was a kid. Although I never memorized any of his songs, there's this one song that I really remember of him - Mga Kababayan Ko. I have been watching Eat Bulaga since forever (mainly because of my dad and it just stuck on me), and surely, his funny antics, hiw wonderful voice, and his hosting style will be truly missed.
Let's pause for a moment and pray for him and his family:)
