A Jovial Prospectus
Dec 31st
After watching Mano Po 6 (Sharon Cuneta’s bulky package is the only thing I can remember, btw), I saw a children’s party at Jollibee. A Jollibee mascot was there, entertaining the kids the juvenile way. I stopped and stared at the happy bee and saw myself joining the kids’ crowd. I smiled and saw him smiling back at me. Well, he can’t frown anyway. But the jiffy moment I sang and dance in my mind made me realize how old I am now that prevented me to actualize those action thoughts. I’m 20, and I think I’m old.
Prolificacy
Dec 29th
Observant people tell me that I blog more often than before. Well, I think it’s even an understatement. I rarely blog every day, or even every week–I think I blog only twice or thrice a month. And this is a justifiable excuse because of the different justifiable forces that prevent me to do so. If something justifiable inhibited you to do something, then the direct causes of inhibition would also be as justifiable. This is the kind of logic I sustain in my values stream that kept me breathing. But I guess this won’t work in the crazily fast-paced lifestyle of the 21st century.
A Romantic Agenda
Dec 27th
After some sort of celebration, I already need to face my school chores. Well, that’s a need I refuse to fulfill simply because I’m not in the mood–and my mind and body haven’t achieved a state of enlightenment just yet. But for now, I’m a happy bum. Actually, I’m waiting for my 2010 planner because it will start a spark of gusto and will kick my ass towards my unused study desk. I thought Red Moleskine’s coming to me, but I changed my mind–I’ll settle for the mass-adored Starbucks Planner. Four stickers before possession; not bad. Okay, I did break my words about this thing. But who cares?
Grad School, anyone?
Dec 5th
Apart from seeking a decent employment, I also want to earn a Master’s degree. I actually wanted to get an MBA but I realize I also want to get an MA in Organizational Communication because of my personal ambition to develop the degree program here in the Philippines (hello unbelievably high aspirations; hello Sir Burn-who-wants-me-to-study-at-NUS). Unfortunately, no MA in OrCom is yet available in the country. Until recently, I saw a double master’s degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

The Triumvirate #5: Freak, Groups & Netbooks
Nov 26th
Each episode of The Triumvirate Series is a crystallization of how my day went in three themes. This is my own, novel way of writing a daily journal. Read the rationale here.
Group 1
- Freak. We had our first PR specialist interviewee a while ago. And she’s a freak. Man, she’s restless! A professor, a PR specialist, a corporate consultant (I can’t coin the proper term), an overseas worker (Nah, not the typical OFW–foreign companies hire and hunt her). With this, I can say that she is multitalented too. It is timely that the concept of freakness should have a positive connotation.
- Groups. When you are a communication major, your professors will train you to deal with and tolerate other people. I am a group-person and I love doing THE interpersonal communication. Communication is part of survival. Communication can be violent, almost parallel to a predator-prey relationship. Predators usually talk too much. Preys usually don’t talk, they just run. The lesson? Don’t be predator or a prey; don’t be a violent communicator.
- Netbooks. I envy people who own a netbook. My laptop becomes heavier as netbooks and notebooks become lighter. Change is constant because of relativism. Ack, my shoulders hurt. I need my netbook now. :(
