Here I Come!!!

I'm going to Boracay for the first time this weekend!!! Woohoo!!!

Back In The Game

Schumi won the San Marino Grand Prix last weekend. It was his first win this season. I'm sure the other teams are starting to get nervous again. Ferrari's starting to build up it's winning ways again. What's happening to McLaren and Honda?

Seasons Of Love

It's been a while since I last watched a movie on the big screen. There aren't much good movies out the past months. Since there weren't much to do last Friday, my baby and I decided to watch Rent. Fortunately it was still shown at Greenbelt 3. I'm not much of a fan of musicals but Rent would definitely be in my list of exemptions. I really liked the performances. But since I haven't watched it yet on stage, it's hard to say which was better.

Lazy with PS2

I'm already tired playing Smackdown vs. Raw on PS2. I'm also done with Fight Night Round 3. NCAA March Madness is starting to get boring. It's probably because of the long Lenten vacation. I had nothing to do in the house but play, aside from eating and watching TV alternately. Sheesh.

Spoofed (?)

Taken from the April 5, 2006 (Spoof) Issue of The LaSallian (TLS):

"Dr. Pabiton launches radio program"

The embattled Dr. Carmelita Pabiton, dean of Student Affairs, is planning to launch Verbal Sensations, a radio program that announcers her daily plans for the Student Personnel Services (SPS) this coming April 2006. She grabbed the opportunity to use Green Giant, the radio station established by Electronics and Communications Engineering Society.

Dr. Pabiton is not used to writing written proposals whenever she raises concerns or implements program for the SPS. In fact, it took Dr. Pabiton to write her proposal and minutes of the meeting for two months.

The LaSallian found that the idea came from Dr. Carmelita Quebengco, DLSU executive vice president. SPS directors believe that all the decisions of Dr. Pabiton just came from Dr. Quebengco. However, Dr. Quebengco is quick to point that the statement is just an assumption. "Don't feed words in my mouth," Dr. Q said.

It maybe recalled that student leaders and employees questioned the quick decision of directors to merge SPS offices. The issue even led to a disciplinary complaint filed by Dr. Pabiton against Student Council President Army Padilla. But the case was immediately resolved in a closed door meeting.

Meanwhile, Dr. Pabiton also faced a grievance case filed by Benedict Tinawin for suspending his tenure as the dean's exclusive student consultant. The Student Council, on the other hand, already released a manifesto concerning the dean's "mismanagement" of the situation.

"I am really excited with my new program. Sabi nila kasi puro verbal decisions daw ang ginagawa ko. Totoo naman, diba Fritchie. Kaya mas magandang solusyon na sabihin ko nalang."

As not to defeat the process of making verbal decisions, Dr. Pabiton will not read any script of document during her air time. "Word of mouth nalang ang gagawin. Kasi kung babasahin ko pa yung script, baka sabihin na nakadocument ang mga decisions. Masusulat pa yan sa The LaSallian. Ayoko kasing bulok na bulok ang nababasa sa mga diyaryo. Diba, Paul."

The Verbal Sensations also involves different flavors such as singing, drama, and horse racing updates.

Bon Voyage

Last Sunday, my Fil-Japanes nephew (to my cousin) left for Japan to study high school. It was just depressing to see people crying, specially my mom. He's been here with us since his first schooling and my mom was the one taking care of his studies. She'd always stay up late during their final exams trying to teach my lazy hard-headed nephew. When he was a little kid, I'd always get irritated with him because he was always giving my mom a hard time. But in the past few years, I've seen him grown up and I've learned to understand his age. I've been through that stage as well.

But as with other things, life changes. The house is quieter. My mom has more free time for herself. And I have the PS2 all for myself now, hahaha =P

A series of unfortunate events

Nobody could have been unluckier than Jenson Button. During the Australian F1 Grand Prix, he started on Pole Position. But a series of most unfortunate events happened:

1. After the first Safety Car went out, he was overtaken by Fernando Alonso
2. After the second Safety Car, he was overtaken by Kimi Raikkonen
3. After his first pit stop, he was overtaken by Juan Pablo Montoya
4. During the next series of Safety Cars and pit stops, he was overtaken by Ralf Schumacher and Nick Heidfeld
5. On the last two corners of the last lap, his engine blew.

From Pole Position to 10th place. Sheesh. Looks like Renault's becoming the next Ferrari. I just hope the season's not going to be boring as two years ago.
