STR.Damit.Buhay.

[shoot.nadelete ung original nito.pangalawang beses ko na toh gagawin.takte talga!!]

"What makes coffee sweet? Sugar? Wrong. It's the stirring that you do after you add sugar. As in life, it's what you do with what you have that makes your life worth living..."

Mensahe ni Sir Taf. Akala ko wrong sent, pero hindi raw.

"...it's what you do with what you have that makes your life worth living..."

Quotable quote ule.Galing.Pero antagal ko tong pinagisipan. Pasensya na, mabagal na mag-process utak ko dahil madali nang nayu-use up ung acetylcholine ko these past weeks. (Kung ano ung acetylcholine, search nio na lang sa net. Tinatamad na ko e. Sorry.) Eniwei, kung pag-iisipan mong mabuti, simple lang naman ibig sabihin nung mga salitang naka-bold sa taas e.Maximize your resources in order to achieve optimal effectivity.Ok.Dorky Statement.

Nevermind.Feeling ko, mei dahilan kung bakit pinadala ni Sir Taf ung message na yan e.Palagay ko na-realize nia na naloloka na kami sa kahahanap ng mga linchakang resources na yan tulad ng lab materials (such as corning tubes na pagkamahal-mahal, pati na rin yung depression plates na depression slides pala ang tawag), money, time, at higit sa lahat...ENERGY.

Lab materials. Hindi ko talaga malaman kung bakit ang mahal ng mga corning tubes na yan.At tinamaan ng magaling, wala palang tindang corning tubes at depression slides sa mercury drug. Nagsayang lang ako ng oras sa pagbaba sa Mercury Drug-Philcoa para lang maghanap ng mga nabanggit na lab materials. Andilim pa tuloy ng nilakad ko papuntang MSI.

Money. D-uh. Pambili ng lab materials, pamasahe, at pang-kain.

Time. Ay nako.Nako talaga. Hindi na nga uso sa amin ang early dismissal e.Right after class,diretso agad kami sa MSI. Hanggang alas-nwebe na un (more or less). Tapos,kulang pa rin ang oras, kaya kailangan pang mag-absent para lang makapag-work.

ENERGY. ano pa nga ba?

Sa totoo lang, ngayon ko lang toh aaminin. Pagod na ko.

Oo, nagrereklamo ako. At wala silang magagawa. I'm feeling rebellious tonight. Hayaan nio na ko. Dahil pagkatapos ko naman magreklamo e wala rin akong magagawa. Magtatrabaho rin ako. Gusto ko lang sabihin na pagod na ko.

Napakabilis ng takbo ng oras.Hindi na nga ako nakakapagplano para a day ahead e (FYI: before, I plan my things-to-do a week ahead), hours ahead na lang. Minsan nga, on the spot pa. Grabe. Masyado ko na ata kina-career STR.

At ngayon. Ang galing talaga ng mundo. Akalain mong wala akong isusuot na damit. Galing kasi. Mei nag-iwan ng bags ko sa Pisay. Amft. Ano pa ba magagawa ko, make use of what I have. Great. Ni wala man lang ako pantulog. Galing talaga. Sobrang nakatulong sa stress na dinaranas ko ngayon.

Magrereklamo pa ko.

October 26. Mark the date. Yan ang araw ng kapanganakan ko. In English, birthday. At asan ako sa mga panahong yan? Nasa laboratory. *deep breath* *sigh*

Kani-kanina lang. Bago na-delete ung original entry, mei natanggap akong mensahe mula sa aming consultant (at designated supervisor) na si Sir Chris. Sabi nia,

"Be thankful that you don't have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful for the difficult times. It's during those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for your mistakes, they will teach you valuable lessons.Find a way to be thankful for your troubles , and they can become your blessings."

Amazing. Just on time. Ang galing talaga ni Lord, He really sends messages through other people. Amazing talaga.

Hanggang dito na lang ang entry ko kasi tatapusin ko pa research plan namin. Yup, it's STR.

Pahabol: Blind item. Sino itong taong ito na lagi na lang ako pinapagalitan? Imbyerna na ko sa kanya.

Happy Birthday, Mariel!

Econ.Grades.Blog Alay kay Sir Vlad.

       Econ kanina. Maraming late dahil nagcacram ng econ casework. Alas-dos na ng madaling araw, marami pa ring gcng dahil sa Econ. Econ. Econ. Econ.


       Kanina, debriefing ni Sir Vlad. Para sa mga hindi nakaaalam, usually ginagawa ang debriefing kapag na-expose ang isang tao sa isang harsh condition. Ginagawa ito para 'wag ma-trauma at mabaliw ang taong na-expose sa cruel reality of life. Kunyari, nung pinag-alaga kami ng mga batang mei taning na ang buhay dahil sa cancer, pagkagaling namin sa ospital, debriefing. Marami kasi sa amin ang hindi sanay sa ganung encounters. Nakakaloko. Kaya kanina nag-debrief nga si Sir Vlad. Siguro kasi maraming na-trauma sa first two quarters ng Econ na, ayon sa kanya, ay madali pa raw. Shoot. 


      Nagsimula ang debriefing sa pag-review ng vision ng Econ class with Sir Vlad. Content, Character, Skills, etc. Yun daw content, lahat dun nag-focus. Ayos lang naman daw na mag-focus ka dun, pero wag kalimutan ang character at skills, etc. Hindi ko na nasubaybayan ung sinabi nia kasi bigla kong naalala na wala pala akong dalang filler para sa 3rd Quarter Econ notes. Gusto ko kasing i-take down lahat ng sinasabi ni Sir.


      Nang biglang narinig ko ang mga katagang "YOU'RE NOT YOUR GRADES". Napatigil ako at napakinig lalo sa sinasabi nia. Yun ang maganda kay Sir, bawat speech nia, mei sense. Kaya naman hindi sayang sa oras makinig. Hindi naman daw sa hindi mahalaga ang grades. Pero hindi rin grades ang sukatan ng pagkatao ng isang estudyante. Isipin mong maigi. Tama si Sir. Ayon pa sa kanya, magiging unfair cia kung ang tingin nia sa mga estudyante ay Uno o Cinco dahil sa ganung paraan, nililimitahan na nia ang kakayahan ng taong iyon para maipakita kung ano talaga ang kaya niang gawin.


      Napaka-striking ng words ni Sir. Tagos sa puso. Kaya nga hanggang ngayon ay sinusulat ko pa cia dito sa blog ko. Ang tindi kasi. Ngayon ko pa lang naringgan ang isang guro na magbigay ng isang debriefing speech. Ganyan katindi si Sir Vlad.


      Sir, kung binabasa mo man ito ngayon. Gusto kong malaman mo na napakaastig mong tao. Ikaw pa lang ang na-encounter kong teacher na ganyan--ganyan mag-lecture (tumatalon na lang bigla sa table), ganyan magpa-test, at ganyan ka-inspiring. Pero hindi ka lang basta guro, TAO ka, Sir, dahil marunong kang makiramdam sa mga estudyante mo. Rock on, Sir! .\m/
