first and foremost, i would like to thank my friend "kakamz" for telling me off to check out blogskins, its where i got the new look of my blog, i love it. its simple, its white, its all good! and i would also like to thank cbox for my chat box...doesnt matter if no one leaves a message though, i just want to have a chat box on my blog...

though im still working out to make a couple of adjustments to my blog, but still i like it! kudos to me! even though reading the codes give me headaches, at least i get paid-off by having such a wonderful-looking blog! i don't care if i sound so exaggerated in praising myself, but that's just how i roll! peace out! =)

its the hard knock life as the annie song goes...! ahay...its so boring. i dont know what to write as of this moment. is was just checking something here and i kinda edited the preceding post (the jabbawockeez post, kinda old to write about them but i just cant get over them, their moves are so addictive and their so damn hot when they dance).

this afternoon, i had no other thing to do except for picking on my hair. i finally used the hair color that i bought a month ago, kinakalawang na nga xa sa kwarto, but who cares? i already used it kanina...hahahaha! its really the hard knock life! ppbbtt! kinda hard to believe but its the truth.

and oh, before i forget. i want to tell anybody, who might happen to pass by and read some of the stuff i write here on my blog if ever there are people who do that, that most of the posts here are of my personal life and my personal agendas. i may post some articles here (that i tag "articles for amardz"), those are news articles that we use in class, not in real-life journalism. im a masscom student student and that is what we do. dont worry, im not trying to fabricate any issue that i would most likely know about, with the help of sir amardz of course, coz basically all of those stuff that we write are purely based on facts. well, basically, its what news is all about, basing on pure facts with no fabrications at all. there may be some journalist who do those kinda stuff but i can attest to you that i am not one of them and i have no intention whatsoever to become one of them. as they say (again), a journalist has his/her own way of presenting the facts to the public and some of the articles that you may be able to read here are my own way of doing so. you may judge me or critic me if you want, il be more than happy to learn from people who know more about these stuff than i am. i am just in the process of becoming a journalist, but i already call myself one, bahalag tawagon ko ug baga ug nawong sa akong mga kaila, kever sa mga chakang kalaban, but its honestly my opinion about. hope you wont misunderstand me and tell me negative things about it. im just a human being, i commit mistakes and if ever i have overlooked at those mistakes, my sincerest apologies to you. if you are one of those people who happen to see "the wrong from the right", please inform me so that i would know. as ive said earlier, il be more than glad to learn from you because blogging is my way of expressing myself and i want people to critic me in the way that i write. nothing personal really, just pure learning experience from the real world. peace out, God bless you all! mwah! much love and respect. aw? =)

i love this remix. its the opening song of America's best dance crew season one with the final four contenders: status quo, jabbawockeez, kaba modern and break sk8 (eliminated in the episode). this episode was their Broadway musical challenge wherein they have to incorporate the assigned Broadway musical show music featuring the classic musicals "hair spray", "chicago", "grease" and "dreamgirls" respectively( as well). all the crews are great and i love the jabbawockeez so much. i love reinan shawn paguio, damn he is so cute! peace out! =)

Introducing Ben Simon Taripe, ang batang X! honestly, he has this talent of learning quickly...on this picture, he is so upset early in the morning because his father wont let him play the computer. yip! you heard me right, computer...he knows how to play computer games, he even beats me at playing online games because currently, he is updating his character in the online game called "cheeky ran". i dont know where his father got that game but both of them are playing that game...and oh...pamangkin ko ito! do you believe it? he is so good...and he's one hell of a pain in the ass...he's a literal bad boy (to the bone). wala lang...i just thought of making a post out of this picture 'coz he's so cute here and its unbelievable how i manage to capture this picture...i mean, im no photographer...aw? feeleret! ga practice pa ko ug digital photography kumbaga...no hard feelings though...this is just practice. watch mo tanan kung ma photographer na ko...aw? wanna see more of the pics that i took along with this one? visit my multiply site (the URL that im posting is the URL for the album where you can find this photo...im still adding a couple more pictures to that album) its jhulez23.multiply.com/photos/albums/4/photography_daw_ni ok? ok? hehehe... =)

ahay...it has already been a couple of days since i entered "emote mode" and i dont know when im getting out...it seems like, at this point of my life, i would have to consider a lot of things that would make me who i am...i know, i know...emote! but, hey! emoting helps me blog so "shut up and let me go, hey!" aw? bitaw, yet again, marks another day of boredom...though all throughout the day, i spent most of it sleeping...damn, i know im gonna get bigger in the next couple of week, with nothing to do and just stare at the glaring sunshine, hayag ang repus nga pagdako! hmpf...i dont know what to do though, im stuck here at home coz im grounded for several reasons which im not likely to share here on my blog...to all the people that could be affected by this agenda, my sincerest apologies to you. i know my responsibilities and im not neglecting them. its just that i cant escape this prison that i am in now. please understand me, i know its not gonna be easy for you guys to be lacking moral support (aw?) but you to go on without me...char ba uy! hahahaha...for the following people, im sincerely apologizing to you for several reasons... Marvin, kabalo ko wala pa nahuman atong docu sa siquijor...and im so freaking out about the V.O. thingy...i dont know if i can ever come back to scool to do it...you just have to replace me in the V.O. thingy...i know the docu would end up being "chaka" if dili ako ang mag-V.O. niya ako ang "host" kunuhay but im left with no other options...unless of course if you want me to die then it'll be fine by me nga ako ra japon ang mag-V.O. but since i know you, i know you will find a way somehow para mahuman na ninyo ang docu...with or without me! BEa, judi na flung bayot kay abalokyans na kyerkawsing kung jurnsa ang itwasyonseya sa kyokoms iriday! isodleya man e-aydech mag inokladesh ug linggo sa ogblogbea noh? agee...ga-ugodeya na ang jerlongsmech sa kyokoms...astabyans, angitapynas amoreya ug aagipyans kung jurnsaonsmech inyoneya pag jurmansmech sa docu without me...abalokyans kyorko-urns nga yaka ra inyoney na ahumanmeya ang docu...kamo pa? hehehe...please pray for my soul and that it may rest in peace na...amen! hainku...its not easy being out here with nothing to do for the whole summer...im just thankful that the pc here has an internet connection...at least, only a part of me is lost since another part of me belongs here...hmpf! see how "emote mode" keeps me going on? aw? hehehehe...friends, maluoy...help me escape this prison! help! im begging you all! aw? do i even have friends here in blogger? murag wala...sa mga friends ko sa FS ug FB nga naay blogger, if you happen to read this post, please, respond immediately! SOS! aW?

there's nothing else i can say but (eh, eh)...some of my friends are graduating this year and i just cant help it, i just want to cry...originally, i belong to their batch...pero, dahil sa ihip ng hangin at sa pagpatuloy na pag-ikot ng mundo, i got dragged down one level coz i have to stop studying and eventuall, the following sem that i got back, nag rebelde ako and i lost one sem so that makes it, 1 whole year of nothingness...i dont blame anyone for that though except myself...but you know, instead of sulking at one corner, im getting the most out of it. being dragged down one level, im get to experience a lot of stuff like being with a new set of people, which i already got used to, and its funny because they are like a couple of years younger than i am. but that doesnt stop me from getting it hard and down right messy. another thing is that, with these other set of people that i am currently with, i can be the same person as i was way back when i was with my batchmates and i think it rocks. i dont have to be somebody else just to fit in. and also, being with these people makes me feel at home, but not as much with my batchmates...but before i go elsewhere, i would have to salute my batchmates for finally being able to strut at the red carpet, or should i say, the grass carpet as what its always have been in our school...if your not from my school, then sorry...i dont want to elaborate on that matter...exclusive for NORSUnians lang...hahahahaha! peace ya'll! anyways...ive never always dreamed of walking down the "runway" of success...ive never even imagined myself being able to finish college...but look, i only got a year and a half more to go...and i think there are still a lot more to that than only a year and a half of pain-staking hours sitting, listening to your teacher...hainku, there are really a lot of stuff that goes around school and i admit, its not that fun at all, unless you know how to turn it into the most colorful one you've ever had...damn...i still have a lot to say though but im running out of time...see you next post? aw? hehehehe.. =)

ug sa dihang tungod ani nga masthead, wa ko nakatulog for almost 24 hours na dagway...promise. kay kani xa, gibutang pa ni xa sa newsletter nga utro pud nga pagka-pakang2x and itchura...d ka ma lain aron? ahay...we looked almost everywhere para lang mabutang namo sa among newsletter. at last, napasa na namo xa last friday afternoon. though among ka labad sa ulo wala mahuman dayon kay, we were on the verge of having the newsletter printed, kaso wala'y maka pap pring namu ani kay ug sa dihang kinahanglan pajud xa nga e-convert sa .pdf file format...d ka ma lain? we spent like 3 hours mag tuyok2x sa downtown para lang mapa convert namo xa into .pdf? damn! i dont know how much i will get for this newsletter but im hoping its going to be enough for me to be able to pass the subject. juice ko, nag naning na raba ko ni amardz, what more kung ma bogz pa jud ko ani nga newsletter? ahai...tabang!

sa tanan nga ga basa sa akong blog, not all the things that i published here are for the entire world to enjoy...some are for exclusive people and you dont have to comment on most of the articles that i wrote because mao toh xa...maluoy...im just a masscom student and most of the articles that i wrote here are for classroom purposes...we are graded for this one and im just doing what i have to do just to get good grades. no offense. maluoy mo, aw?

My perfect Man, somone who would come home in my arms after a tiresome day, someone who treats me as if i was the last person on earth, meant to live with him for all eternity, someone who can turn ordinary days into the most precious moments ever to be treasured. My Perfect Man, the man that would love me beyond my unwanted behavior, someone who looks at me as his equal and not as a superior, someone who could lift me up back to my feet and makes me realize that i failed today, i can always do better tomorrow. My Perfect Man, the who could me make smile even if there is nothing to smile about, someone who brightens up my darkest days and guides me through my journey called life. someone who i can act stupid with yet for him, i am the most amazing thing that ever happened to him. someone who makes me think of the good time and not of the bad. My Perfect Man, the man that i can truly be proud of not because of what he has achieved but of how he achieved it the right way. someone whom i can truly say a very righteous man, courageous and cunning yet at the same time fascinates me with his simplicity. My Perfect Man, a man who shows me his passion, not for having the finer things in life but passion for what he has and how he values it as if it is his own life. someone who thrives and struggles to live a better life but never turns his back to what made him what he is now. My Perfect Man, without him i'd be nothing. his persona exemplifies perfection no one has ever dreamed of. without him, my life would never be perfect, as perfect as he is.

on our journey to the mystic island of siquijor, i was chosen to be the anchor for our investigative or docu report. i am so hyped but at the same time, im nervous about getting the role for a couple of things. first, i am way too shy for the camera. one reason is that, im afraid to criticized, though i know its part of the learning process but believe me, its really hard talking and yapping for how many minutes and only the camera man can see you, unless of course it will be broadcasted live, well at least it wont be. second, i need way more practice. i keep on stuttering and losing all my lines when im facing the camera. its not that easy memorizing a whole bunch of scripts while doing other stuff. in this venture of ours, there will be lots of walking, and i mean lots and lots of them. also, talking to people i dont even know existed. aside from that, these people we are going to interview are not just ordinary people, they are so mystical, i cant even bare thinking of what might happen in the next couple of days, but even so, i am so ever thankful that i got the opportunity to go that island with no folks around, just me and my ever cranked up friends that i am always with everyday. third, i keep reasoning out that i am no better than a monkey with a banana. marvin is way too better than i am. but, thinking things over, i now realize why they have chosen me to be the anchor. its part of dividing the tasks among the group members and i know perfectly well that in the long run, we would talk this over a cup of coffee, and still id get the job. for one, id be the anchor. marvin would be the camera man, and on my opinion, he would also be doing the scripts. bea, i know, would be the editor of the video. "it" is one hell of an artist, so creative yet fashionably fabulous. amy? well, i dont really know what role she might play on this trip. i bet she'd be bringing lots of food during the trip, and believe me, she's one hell of a pain in the ass. but i dont have to worry about that, bea is there to make sure she wont be a pain in our asses. cielo...well, i guess she'd be one hell of a help. help me memo my script, help marvin do the script, help bea edit the vids, technically, a big help to almost everybody. i know i said id be anchor for this one but it doesnt mean that its the only thing that i will do. of course, id be helping in finalizing everything, ready to be submitted before the deadline and that is on FEB.20,2009. we are not only going to siquijor for that matter. aside from shooting in the island tackling the facts of the existence of witchcraft, we are also going there to see some of its wonders for our environmental journalism class. we have in our itinerary, THE CANTABON CAVE, SALAGDOON BEACH and THE TRIAD. i dont know where these wonders are located, but im sure il be able to know it soon. well, i think this is enough for now. il be posting again some time on either the 2nd week or 3rd week of febuary where i think we will be able to start making the documentaries that we are going to shoot in the mystic island of siquijor.

starting tomorrow, January 29, 2009, our broacast journalism professor Mr. John DX Lapid will be discussing to us how investigative reporting should be done. for our finals requirement, we will be going to siquijor with 4 of my classmates to tackle the existing witchcraft in the said island. i am a bit excited of this trip to the mysteriouis island of fire since it is going to be my first time to venture to the island with only my friends as company. what i am excited about is being able to discover the wonders of the place and to finding out as well the reality about witchcraft. as a child, i grew up to the fact the witchcraft only exists in books and other reference materials available in the library. my family and friends, who have been to place, tell me stories of people tapping your shoulders, staring at you in a wierd manner are signs that they want you for dinner. joke. but that is how witchcraft works on the said island. aside from direct contact, there are tons of other ways that witchcraft works and that is what we are going to find out on our little adventure soon. we are scheduled to be bound to siquijor on the 1st week or 2nd week of february. by then, il be posting everything that happened to us in the mystic island of siquijor. til then.

it's only the beginning of '09 and it has already been like a roller coaster ride for me. i don't know why but i got this funny feeling that this year is going to be a journey quite worth it. i know that somewhere out there, struggles and hardships are just lurking in the dark waiting to pounce on me once they get the chance. but i am ready for them, bring it on! i am gonna face you head-on and straight to the face. hit me your best shot!
