Long time no Post? haha.. been very busy and hadn't found the time to make a post. Anyway, Book'o holic certified! i know i just scrambled the title. Anyway, book reading is one of my hobbies, I've read like almost 50 books, once i have the book that i want in my hands i cant stop reading, especially if the story and the plot is very exciting. I tend to focus on reading and paying no attention to the things around me, that's what happens when i read. I've been told that making that a habit is not good, i mean not the book reading but being engrossed in reading the book and neglecting the things that are happening. been into trouble a number of times by that. not paying attention in class just reading, lowers my social activity especially when im with my friends.. i lose track of time when i read, where this one time i stayed in my room when i checked my clock it was 3 in the afternoon, the next time i looked it was 2am, shocking but i did finish two books then. i think it was The Red Pyramid and the Throne of Fire. anyway, enough of this babbling.. got lot of things to do..again.. shout outs to my fellow book readers.. any book suggestions? :) peace out!

CAUTION: Firstly I would like to say that in this post I will be blunt and straightforward!

Now to start off, December 09, 2012 when Marquez succeeded in taking down Manny PACMAN Pacquiao on their 6/12 rounds clash. We were all surprised at the fall of the peoples champ; we didn’t expect him to fall that way, neigh we never expected him to fall at all. As the surrounding people watched in shock and in horror as the PacMan was lying motionless on the mat, even I myself was at loss for words on that moment. A part of us all still hoped that our proud peoples champ would stand and shake it off, it took me a lot of courage to relax and remain calm, but unfortunately he did not. As the referee waved his hands as a sign of defeat for the Filipinos pride, much of our companions held back there tears as we witnessed the fall of our champion. As the Mexican dynamites fans were roaring with triumph and victory, less could be said about the Filipino fans that went to see their champion end the final bout between him and his Mexican rival. That is sports said many Pacquiao “sometimes you win, sometimes you lose” Now we wait for the announcement of another rematch, as a reporter asked Bob Arum if it is possible that Pacquiao and Marquez will fight again he just simply said “ Why not? WHY not? Why not? ” I believe this is not the end of the Pacquiao and Marquez fight.

Now, enough of the narration, I will focus more on the bigger picture at hand. The so called Manny Pacquiao fans who immediately turned their backs on Manny at the first sight of defeat. I mean how could they even do that? Do they only acknowledge Manny as the Pinoy Pride when he wins? And now bad mouths him when he lost? More could be said about the Mexican fans, even if there champions continually fall prey to the Filipinos champ they didn’t turn their back on them, and now Manny lost this fight and the so called fans sees it as a very big loss? I mean how many fights did Manny win, how many enemies experienced the strength of the Pound-for-Pound King? Well true as they say that no matter how many good things you have done, one mistake and the people will forget all the good things that you did. On a interview Manny said “If I lose, then I lose”, now, many saw the fall of Manny was that because he changed his religion. Are they saying that the God that Manny believed before is not the same God that he is serving now? Then it does not support that there is only one God does it? And that God is mad because he changed his religion? I pity those people, seriously. Open your eyes! Religion is not the reason why Manny lost! Why can’t we see that in boxing and other sports that no matter how hard you train there are still things that are uncertain, just like the punch of Marquez. A lucky shot or not, let’s admit that Marquez really prepared for this fight and that he was really determined. While Pacquiao admitted that he was overconfident and was hungry for a K.O when he charged Marquez on the dying seconds of the 6^th round. But still I commend Manny for being humble and honest despite his loss. For taking a well handled defeat, Kudos Manny!

And now lastly I want to share this picture, that really caught my attention, rather, the phase in the photo caught my attention; it was as if Manny was sending a message to the Filipino community. The phrase goes, “Ngayong ako ay nabigo, nasaan na ang mga Kababayan kong Filipino?” 

so to those so called fans that said " Manny is old and should retire and that's what he gets for changing his religion “I say Shame on you! You only showed how shallow minded you are and the true face that hides beneath the mask that pretends to support Manny.

To my fellow PACMAN fans, Manny needs our support now more than ever. In good and in Bad. PACMAN!

Filipino Champ

Pinoy Pride

WE SALUTE YOU!

SUPER TYPHOON

                It hasn’t been a year since sendong came knocking on our doorsteps on the night of December 17, 2011. And here we are again being tested by Mother Nature by a typhoon possibly stronger than sendong. We all remember that day, when our Christmas celebrations would definitely engrave a tragic memory in our minds. It was the first Christmas celebration that I spent on our church, sorting out foods, clothing, soaps, blankets etc. for the victims of sendong. The people who experienced trauma due to the flash flood that took more than 1,200 people and 1.3billion in agriculture and property, people that even now hasn't still recovered from the trauma; I couldn't imagine what they were feeling. I remembered on the morning of December 18, 2011 when my brothers and I including our dad went to some of the places that were really hit by the typhoon, we could only watch in horror as we saw bodies on the sideways covered with blankets, lifeless.  And now here it is again, a typhoon said to be stronger than the previous one, and is headed to the same direction that typhoon sendong was headed, what more can we ask from those people that has lost almost everything from the previous typhoon, what can we possibly do to console them in these events, the thread of hope is slowly getting thinner. But don’t lose hope just yet, it was also said that there have been occasions in the past when a storm suddenly changed direction. But for safety measures, several places that were once hit by sendong have wisely advised the people to evacuate early in order to avoid unfortunate disasters. We don’t want Christmas and New Year to be another tragic memory and we never want a Part II of the Sendong tragedy,  so keep your love ones close guys. Godbless us all!

# FATHER YOU ARE KING OVER THE FLOOD, I WILL BE STILL KNOW YOU ARE GOD!

said to be bigger than mindanao..

The Xavier University Festival Days, or better known as XU-days, is one of the most awaited events in our University. Students from different schools would visit our university to be a part and enjoy the festival. Different activities are set to welcome the anticipating guests from other schools and also to us the students of Xavier University, there are photo booths, food stalls, shirts and accessories. XU days also provides live entertainment such as bands and the like, and other than that, the famous horror house is one of the events that never disappoints to make a very long waiting line, but for me and all my 4 years in the university, i haven't gotten inside the horror house even once, why? i don't really know, it's just that, well you know it's not real ghosts that try to scare you in there, i mean i have been to a number of horror houses like the ones in star city (forced to go), but i can't help but think that these things that pop out, fall or pass are fake. (But, totally believe about ghosts though) so why bother being scared or pretending to be scared? No punt intended to the makers of the horror house, I've heard that it's really great. Now, if you really want to be scared and get all the adrenaline that you want why not try bungee jumping? Now that's something worth the screams. But none the less Xavier Days won't be complete if one of these activities is missing, horror house, live bands, photo booths and food stalls;  they make Xavier Days an event worth remembering. Now on a serious note: While writing this i just realized that i stated earlier the line "all of my 4 years in the university" and now got me thinking that this will be the last Xavier Days that i will be attending as a student, because in march, me and a bunch of fourth year students would be saying goodbye to the gates of Xavier University that would be unfortunate, but it is also a proof that we have finally reach our goal, to finally put into practice the things that our school has taught us, last Xavier Days as a student, but definitely not the last Xavier Days as an atenean!

this is how we do it!

All right, first of all these are the movies that I dare not miss this 2013, i don't know bout you but yeah, lots of sequels this year, and remakes you'll see later, so to start off the list..

1.) Hansel & Gretel: Yeah, its taken from one of your favorite bedtime stories. The Hansel and Gretel, being prey to the first witch they have encountered and surviving the experience; it turned out to be the prey being the predators. Hunting witches all around the world. Action packed movie with a twisted bedtime story that the viewers would not dare miss.

Next up..

2.) Warm Bodies : My mind is set, i will be watching this. My sources said that it would be coming up this February. enough of that, anyway. LOVE makes us HUMAN, i think that's the point of the movie. Well, typical Zombie Boy falls in love with a living girl, well who wouldn't? that's Teresa Palmer, or famously known as the hottie in I am Number four movie, Number Six. Well, this is definitely a movie worth the wait. 

So moving on..

3.) Iron Man 3 : Robert Downey Jr. returns with the continuation to his first two Iron Man movies, yes your not hallucinating i see another Iron man in there too. In this movie we see our Genius, Playboy, Philanthropist getting schooled. As he searches for answers, this journey in every turn will test his mettle. As he discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: Does the man make the suit, or the suit make the man? 

Hold on to your seats..

4.) Rise of the Guardians: I think this movie will hit this 2012. Witness as your beloved childhood legends join forces to protect the world. Dream Works has yet again made a film that let's us once again remember our childhood. Childish or not, I will be waiting for this movie to hit the Big Screen. An action packed movie with Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Sand Man and Jack Frost. Another movie no doubt worth the wait.

I still have lots of movies that i want to share, but for now this is my first list as of the moment. Definitely gonna make a part two of this one. So stay tuned. And if you happen to plan on watching any of the movies above and you know the accurate date of the movie, please do tell. haha.. Till next time..

Ahoy Mates! Don't mind me, just wanted to say that. Call me crazy but "aye" i find pirates fascinating. I enjoy this bunch of people. They talk differently with the, "aye, bilge rat, avast ye and one of my favorites "Aye were in Davy Jones locker",.. My fascination started in 2003 when the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" hit the big screen, got amused by one of the lead role Johnny Depp who plays THE Captain Jack Sparrow. And may i say that he plays the role with utmost understanding of his character, i mean seriously he's a natural! And ever since, i got hooked up to the movie and the idea of pirates are so cool. haha.. Watched all the pirates of the Caribbean movies from the first to the most recent, and i heard that sometime in 2013 the 5th installation of the movie would be launching out, can’t wait for it. I can say that even my siblings find them cool. And i can only imagine that when we travel by boat here in the Philippines from one Island to another, like Mindanao to Luzon or to be specific Cagayan de Oro to Manila that would take around three days to travel and is already along the country. Not to mention that we use engines now or motors whichever sounds better, and at their time they would only depend on the wind pushing their sails! But i don't know if those guys who paddle manually for the small boats does that with the big ships.. Hmmm.. (Wish i knew), and they travel the seas, cross countries and nations?? No wonder they all look like that. Tsk poor guys, but anyway just wanted to share my fascination with you all and hope that you find it interesting..

On the other hand while typing this, my stomach just made a signal that it wants to be fed. Hmmm, hard thing to tame.. and then i just remembered my cravings for McDonald's Big Mac, which i by the way is having second thoughts every time i try to buy (thanks for the discouragement on how Unhealthy it is.. you know who you are..) It, and then i remember a friend of mine once told me that Big Mac's in the US are far bigger than ours. Hard to believe but it’s true,  friends from there (balikbayans) confirmed it. The question is, is it because they have a bigger appetite than ours? I don't think so, I've seen people ate so much that made me wanna puke even if I was just watching them, as if I was the one who's getting all full, and what an experience that was. Anyhow, right now i just wanna tame this stomach of mine by, of course giving in to its demands. haha. But, I'll make sure that someday SOON I'll try the Huge Big Mac that US has to offer and it will be mine for the taking! *Sinister Laugh*, but for now i guess I'll just settle for the ordinary sized Big (?) Mac... Ciao! Bon Appetite!

Being in senior year really takes its toll on you, mentally and physically of course. With the schedules so crammed up, long classes, longer class intervals, Ahh! It Sucks!..  and more.. Lots of requirements here and there.  Sometimes you just want to relax at some point and forget all those worries. But! Unfortunately you can’t! And that makes it even more stressful; however I believe that each and every one of us has our own way of coping up with stress. For me the best thing that I would do is watch a movie in my dvd player, read a book (just finished all Percy Jackson books from 1-5, not including the lost hero, Son of Neptune, and mark of Athena. I think that’s a new series.), listen to music (EMO!), and write in my blog. (chaar!) Different kinds of styles may apply. Some even eat a lot of sweets when they’re stressed; well as they say stressed spelled backwards is desserts, haha! But in a serious note, if you feel stressed don’t force your body or your mind, it wouldn't do you good anyway. Just remember,It wouldn't kill taking a little rest once in a while. 

Long have we waited for this moment to come, the final stretch of our academic lives (except for some who still wants to pursue other academic levels), for the graduating fourth years this march, this will be the final semester that will determine our fates (char kau!), all those sleepless nights finishing the requirements, group studies, group STEADY has finally come to this last stretch of our college lives. By march of 2013 many of us will say goodbye to the gates of Xavier University and knock on the doors of opportunities laid down before us, as we experience the final tunnel of our college life i suggest that we give it all our best. Aim for higher grades, make lots of friends, use our allowable absences wisely.. SERIOUSLY guys use it wisely.
We may not have noticed it but we only have more or less 4 months to enjoy school, to be with friends everyday,dungan lunch everyday, kopya assignments everyday. And after this, most of the things that we are used to won't be there anymore, as we will be pursuing our different careers in life after graduation. Although this blog is our requirement it has been a tool that will help us express our self and help us know more about our fellow students.

So for the Graduating fourth years this march 2013, let's make the most out of our last year!

Carpè Diem!

Determination is the Key..

What is the feeling of envy?(not sure if that's the right word to use though) It’s the feeling when you see your dad giving your elder brother the dream phone that you have always wanted. HAHA! That feeling when you can’t do anything than just look and let the moment torture you. HAHA! That was what i felt around 20 minutes ago, my dad giving my brother a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 ... T_____T

I was like … @______________@ WHY?!?! But anyway, enough of that.. I wont allow it to torture me anymore so.. maybe i'll be receiving something much better on the long run,yeah maybe, bye.. intended to post this last two nights ago though..


*Yeah, seriously that was my face.. or worse.. ^^,

The long wait is finally over for us Kagay-Anons! Centrio, one of the biggest if not THE biggest mall in Cagayan de Oro City will finally be opening tomorrow. For sure the streets located near Centrio mall will be crowded. I believe that we will be experiencing heavy traffic tomorrow along those areas. Other than the mall itself, centrio has a number of new food chains. For example one of my favorite pizza's Sbarro will be opening its first branch in CDO at the Centrio mall. Also a very wide variety of shops will be operating starting tomorrow at the Centrio mall. from accessories to footwear, clothes, and so much more. In line of celebrating the opening of the centrio mall, many establishments inside the mall has offered their treats, just like missy bon bon's " Golden Ticket " and Bigby's " Who ate my ribs " has joined the fun. Offering prizes to a number of customers who are the very first to arrive, I have seen the sneak peek pictures of the mall and some videos of it and i for  one can say that this mall is really something. You get excited by just looking at the pictures and videos, can't wait for tomorrow for the opening. I know that many of my friends wouldn't miss the opportunity to be one of the many who will go elbow to elbow with hundreds if not thousands of people just to experience the adventure that Centrio has to offer.
