Update

Grabe! Mid-August na at wala pa rin akong kahit isang finished report.

Arrrrgh!

I have to prepare six (!) reports in two different subjects and one extra subject from a different institution. Feeling ko nga nagpapanic ako kaya hindi na rin ako makagawa. The "fear of fear itself" sabi nga.

Anyway, I'm planning to post some pictures of Carlo here. Hindi ko pa lang naayos. I'm on a blog leave* till further notice.

* Got the term somewhere. To whoever coined the word, borrow ko po muna.

Ay, pahabol!

I’m looking for these books:



If you know where I could buy them, please, inform me.

Thank you :)

PGMA and DevCom

President GMA should really really study Development Communication.

While reading my DevC 208 module (Social Marketing and Social Mobilization) I came across these three trends and definitions of development. Allow me to share:

(copied verbatim)
1. Development must be PEOPLE-CENTERED - The aim of development must be the improvement of the quality of life of human beings, not improvements in economic production.

2. Development must be PARTICIPATORY - In order to realize development, concerted efforts from the government and the grassroots are needed.

3. Development must be SUSTAINABLE - True development doesn’t sacrifice tomorrow’s resources for the sake of today’s needs.

Am I loved or what?

Natutuwa naman ako sa mga kapatid ko.

Last Sunday, while reading the messages in Gian’s cell phone (he allows me to read his messages sometimes), he showed me the picture of his current girlfriend. Pretty, if I may say so.

Then he added in a very casual manner: “Ikaw ang gusto kong unang ma-meet niyan. Naku Ate, pag nakita mo siya, super ganda, super bait, yada-yada…” The usual praises dedicated only to his girlfriends – including the previous ones. I know kasi narinig ko na yun na sinabi niya before.

Then last night, my other brother, Jay-jay asked if I’d be staying over at our house during the weekend. I said, “No, I’ll be going home. Why?”

To which he replied: “Ay sayang, may ipapakilala pa naman sana ako sa’yo. Friend ko. Ang name eh: girl’s name. Taga UP din siya… yada-yada…”

They are my brothers. I feel honored that they want me to meet their special someone. Nakakataba ng puso na kahit inaaway ko sila minsan-minsan (?) I can still feel that they love me and that I am important to them. :)
