As for the title I can't come up of anything that's why I called this post K. Of course it has something behind it. And I think if I am not going to tell you why is it like that way. There's no way that you would have guessed it right. So I'm going to cut off all the thrill and suspense now. Stop the drum roll. K because its the end of the break. If you still didn't get it then just dig deeper.
So here I am on the last day of the 10 day break that I had because of the A(H1N1) and I think I really needed this break. Now I am feeling so much better. Refreshed and ready for the final push towards the end of this term.
As of now it's only 8:01AM and I am already blogging. Actually from the moment I woke up I began composing something and that is the last song for this girl. No not probably the last song that I will ever write for her but for now. I don't know but I have to move on. I mean I should be looking for someone that wants what I want as well. And not keep on waiting and hoping for someone who isn't in the same page that I'm in. If fate would make things happen for us in the future then why not? So it would be safe to say that once again the search is on. And now I don't know if I would take the next one seriously or it would be like a warm up before the game itself. I mean I've been single for quite a long time now and if would not warm up then that would mean I would be prone to injuries. To protect myself I might even consider singing a SoNG once again.
And I am still in the beginning of a long day. I should program my take-home quiz. I don't know how long would it take me to finish it. Technically it's due is on Friday but I want to do it today so I would get an advantage at some point. So that would be the thing that would keep me busy later on.
And regarding my book. It's going on pretty well. I was able to come up with the outline and now even though I'm only doing the regular writing that I am doing. I can say that now I am in the right track. And the outline really helped me a lot. Focusing on one topic at a time it makes my brainstorming ability get involved even more than it got before. And now that's actually a good thing because I am developing something that is essential in my field and I am enjoying while I'm doing it.
And just yesterday finally I was able to finish watching the whole HIMYM season 4. It's awesome as usual. It really is the origin of my awesomeness. I downloaded episodes 14-24 via torrent. Even though it took a long time but it's definitely worth it. I think I would be doing it for every episode of season 5. But I don't know I think I would let it finish first. What the hell I should stop Tedding up. What's Tedding up? Watch the show then there you'll know. Trust me it's the awesomest show ever. It's so awesome that I won't care if I will be able to watch the same episode for 5 times. Plus I learn a lot from that show.
So what else am I going to talk about. Oh crap this thing about 12.1 that I want to stop just made me think about her even more. I wonder if she's awake by now. No! No! I should divert my attention to something else. I should stop thinking about her. Here we go again she's the one who's in my mind now. And I should just stop this now. Better do something to keep me busy and not think about her for a while.

LP#15: Stranded
Written by: Benj Medina III
On: June 30 '09 @ 6:42AM
Six months is quite a long time
To be in this situation that I am in
I've waited for your response
And I hoped that you would give it a chance
But it turned out I chose the road
Where I can only see the road
And after months of pursuing that road
I found myself stucked in the middle of nowhere
I am confused on what to do
Maybe I should stay where am I
And try to live and make it through
Until the rescue team comes and save me
I found myself rescued one day
And now I'm back to the real world
Where all opportunities keep coming
Where all the mystery and thrill reigns
I am so afraid that I would regret
Calling for the rescue team to save me
And then that day came
I said to them I think it's about time
About time for me to go back
I should let go because
I don't want to stay stranded
And now I will start all over again
I know I did not do my best
To get your attention and make things happen
I got stucked in the middle of nowhere
And I feel like I am heading nowhere
I didn't make a song for you
I composed an album for you
And it's a shame that this is the last entry
And I think I just need to go back to reality
You know it and I know it
That we could work this out if given a chance
Yes you're the kind of girl that I am looking for
But it turned out you really don't want to go further
So I would end the journey
And everything would be history
I will never forget about you
I must say that you really are something else

EP#46: A Firstday
This about what happened last Thursday, June 18 '09 where I went with T-Tin and Kuya Marvin on checking out cars in Dasmarinas, Cavite and after that go to MOA to buy my new badminton racket. But it turned out that we are also going to the Mafbex that is held in the World Trade Center in Manila.
First I will talk about the car inquiring that we did. The first company where we went is Toyota. For the three of us this will be the first time that we will do this kind of thing and that would mean we don't have "standards" when it comes to this thing. We were looking for someone that Kuya Jerome suggested but it turned out that she is not around so we were accommodated by another person. It took us more than 30 minutes in that place. So we thought that it will always be like that. The next car company where we went is Honda. The place is much bigger than Toyota's and in terms of the accommodation and the speed and quality of service they are way better. We only stayed there like 20 minutes would be the maximum. And then next is Ford we don't have high hopes in terms of car value on this one and surprisingly even the sales representative who we talked to isn't quite impressive. Yes, we just wasted our time there because we left the place very unsatisfied in terms of the details that we want to get. The last company is Hyundai but this one is in Manila. And I must say that this is almost like in the level of the Honda inquiry that we had which means that we were accommodated very well and we are completely satisfied as the customers.
The next thing that I will talk about is the first Mafbex experience that I had. And it was a blast. I am definitely going back to this conventions especially when I have a girlfriend this is one place that surely we're both going to have fun. The 50 Pesos entrance fee is so worth it. From the free tastes alone you'll definitely be satisfied plus the liquors have their free tasting as well, now that would be definitely be like me, awesome. After going through the whole place once I am really feeling really tired. I am looking for some place to sit and rest for a while. We spent like 2 hours of walking and walking and eating and drinking and walking but still it was a lot of fun.
The last thing is the MOA stop over. We didn't spent a long time here because we only need to check out like three different places to choose the racket that I will buy. Yes I was able to buy one and after trying it out yesterday I think that it is a good one. Well I'm still adjusting to it it may take a number of games because I'm not yet that good.
So this only happened in one day and I always labeled myself as the person who is always bad in first times. But in this day not so much. It was a very tiring day no doubt but what's important is that all of us had a lot of fun.

RTP#36: 10-Day Suspension
Yesterday was the Father's Day and we had lunch at Lolo Dad's place to have a little celebration. I had a great time. And upon arriving back home I went online just to check my FB account and I saw the last thing that I want to see and that would be the announcement of the class suspension due to the A(H1N1) virus.
I should be celebrating after hearing this but I felt really really bad about it. We only have 2 weeks left to this term conclusion. But what can I do this thing is unavoidable. The paranoia that this virus brings to the world really is in a different level. That a rule has been made that once a student or any employee in a school has the virus the class would be suspended for 10 days.
Well looking on the bright side now I will have the time not only to rest because I'm really feeling sick during the past couple of days but also I will have time to blog and to come up with the outline for my book. Yeah I forgot to make an outline for my book how stupid (with the Simon Cowell accent) is that.
I want this break to be productive. Simple as that.

RTP#35: Decode
No it's not a review about the song Decode by Paramore but I what I meant here is decoding the labels that I will going to use in this post. Actually I am supposed to blog about the remarkable days that I had this week. But I find myself composing a post about this thing that happened just a while ago.
I was playing Scrabble in FB earlier and turtle still is not yet home so 415 is still awake. While 415 is sitting on the couch near me she asked me what am I doing? And I replied that I am playing scrabble and I am very close on ending the game.
After the game I asked her about turtle and she said she don't care if she's going to go home because she haven't answered her calls. But what she wanted to talk to me about is the problem that I had which means in the past and I bet 90% of people in the world had a problem with this thing especially when it's a guy.
I was clearly not bothered by that problem at all. But the main point of hearing the doubts and being judged feels sort of frustrating for me. I am proud for myself that I was able to conquer that problem and still continuing to resist it every time it comes back. Because this problem will be around. And at some point when I was asked why can't I totally let go of it? What I really want to answer is this "I am a human". I can't answer like that even though I have some basis on that. Because it's 415 who am I talking to.
It was not a long talk actually but I just don't want being judged like that especially when I am really doing my part in resisting and pulverizing the opposition.
And lastly I want to apologize for giving you a hard time reading this one. Well it wasn't that hard actually consider this a game or whatsoever just to make it more interesting.

One long cold night
I felt my cellphone vibrated
Checking on the message
I saw it was a quote
And I was going to delete it
But then I saw that it's from you
I've been having a day with so much disappointments
And you made your presence felt
As if you're the cold breeze surrounding the room
You changed everything in less than a minute
Surprised because I never saw it coming
Like a shooting star in the middle of the night
Now I know what a perfect day would be
And that is when I am hearing from you
No matter how hard the day went
A two line text message from you
Can make a day like this
Become the better days I've had
You're the headline of the week
I can't stop thinking about you
And I am wishing that you'll be a issue
That would last forever
I won't get tired on hearing about you
Like my favorite song of all time
There's no one that could replace you
I always thank God because I met you
And I always pray to hear from you everyday
And I what I wish for is to be with you everyday
I'd stay up through the night
Waiting for a shooting star to make a wish to
Got tired of wishing and realized I got to do something
But I fell asleep
And I know I'd see you till I wake up
And sometimes I don't want to wake up anymore
Because even in my dreams it's you I see
And now we would make this come true together

EP#45: Subic Outing Part 2
This day started earlier than I expected. I slept at 5:04AM to end the first day of this trip and I woke up at 6:35AM. I was up at that time already because I was sleeping next to the window and the curtain is color yellow. The sun is up and the curtain is so bright I thought it's 9:00AM already. Nevertheless I was not able to get back to sleep again. Instead I went to the bathroom and took a bath on the bathtub. Then I dressed up then went downstairs to check out what's happening down there then ate breakfast.
Then I was waiting for all of the others to get ready for the beach. But before going to the beach they planned to go the mall near the place. It was not good. I should have stayed in the house. But anyways upon arriving in Subic Homes again we all ate lunch except for Jr who was left behind because he woke up very late. Then after eating we all prepared to leave the place and head to the beach.
This is the part where it somehow ruined the moment. Before leaving Pasig I let Anne carry my towel because it wont fit inside my bag anymore. It turned out that she lost my towel. Not literally lost it but she don't know where is it. So I went to the beach without one of the most important things to bring. Then it really bothered me and what pissed me off is what happened next. Which is she's making herself look like the victim who got robbed or what. Then again being me I did set that aside and return to having fun.
Then here we are in the beach. I was not impressed by the number of beautiful girls in that beach. And the beach itself. But something happened which almost made history. Well not all of you knows that I am a very shy person. And fyi that's the one thing that is holding me back to attain total awesomeness. Well moving on to the main thing. What happened is there's this floating surface where people can go to where T-Tin and I swim to. Then we stayed there for quite some time actually just sitting there looking at the whole beach. Yes the view is just like me awesome. Then I saw a girl floating and making her way to the same place we're on. And let me tell you this from my view looking at her floating oh my it's the best view ever. Then I looked back again to where my relatives are and they're all smiling at me. But then another girl is coming a friend of the girl earlier and she tried to climb up the surface without using the ladder. She was really having a hard time even with her friend is helping her. I then offered to help her but she insisted. I was so close on meeting a 16 or 2 8s. Why didn't I just talk to them after she got on the platform? Because it wont be right anymore this is not the states. And then fast forwarding to the shower time because we we're about to leave the place. The shower room is very questionable. The showers are outside without any cubicle or so. You can be seen by anyone. This also applies to the girls. There's a changing room inside the restroom. Why just make the changing room the shower room? And I must include the shower it's like the faucets that you encounter in public establishments where you need to push it down to make the water come out and it has to be kept down for it to still go on. The shower is like that. You can just imagine how difficult that is. Then after taking a shower and dressing up I we all took some family pictures then left the place.
Then after picking up the van in San Simon then we all went home.
That's all about the Subic family outing that we had. The last time that this happened is like 4 years ago. And despite having very few pictures it's still like me awesome. Like my sister said even "less pictures but more stories" that's what happened in this trip. I am definitely looking forward to the next outing that we're going to have.

EP#44: Subic Outing Part 1
Literally it would be very long day indeed. And we are set to go on a family outing in Subic. My Mom, T-Tel and Anne are already in Pasig. And it's me and T-Tin who are left in Cavite and we were told that we will leave Pasig around 6:00AM - 7:00AM.
I woke up at 3:15AM but still stayed on my bed until 3:40AM then I went to take a bath then dressed up. Then after T-Tin finished preparing the two of us left the house around 5:10AM. Luckily, we were able to get the bus as early as possible but unfortunately the bus broke down and we have to transfer to another bus. So it caused us about 15 minutes delay then it was followed by a slight traffic due to a parade preparation. Another 5 - 10 minutes delay. We were able to reach Baclaran at 6:10AM but we were able to get a awesome taxi immediately and we arrived in Pasig at 6:45AM.
Then when we arrived they just woke up and no one as in no one has started preparing yet. Fast forwarding to the time we left which is almost 9:00AM. Due the tune-up of my Mom. And something went wrong that we need to stop over at SM Megamall. We spent about 30 - 40 minutes there. Then left the mall and the next stop is for lunch at Petron NLEX's Teryaki Boy. We were able to leave Teryaki Boy at 1:00PM.
Then again something went wrong which involves the van. So my Mom stopped for a while and so I told her that I would get down to check it out. I thought she heared me so I went down to check what's going on and then my Mom started to rev up then I ran to chase the van. After going in my Mom stepped on the brakes that led the open slide door to close up. But my hand is on the other end and it got hit by the door. 3 fingers on my right were damaged. Thank God it didn't turn to a serious injury.
Then from that moment until now 3:34PM we are here in Total gas station still in NLEX, stranded. I don't know how long are still going to wait here. But so far the trip isn't going pretty well. It's still not too late to turn this thing around but first we must be able to leave this place.
After five to ten minutes that I've finished writing the first part of this post we then left the Total gas station and we all thought that the van is now in good condition and it turned out that it isn't so we then went to the nearest mechanic shop. And another hour of stop over unfolds. This trip really is a disaster at this point. Almost all of us is stressed out due to the delay and just trying to make something happen to have fun. We were able to leave that place at around 5:30PM already. And we just left the van there to get fixed and rented another one.
Then the trip to Subic Homes went pretty smooth I was able to sleep for like 20 minutes. And then we arrived in the place at around 7:30PM I think. Then the first thing that really blew us away is the breeze that you can feel once you set foot on the front door coming from inside the house. The house that we're able to check in is centralized!!! It can't get any awesome than that.
So we just fixed our things some prepared the food while the four of us T-Tin, Tito Ricky, Chito and Me went to the nearest convenience store to buy the things that we are lacking. So here we are at Uncle Ed's convenience store. It's like a mini version of S&R. Well we were the only customers at the moment. And we spent like more than 30 minutes or so. But when we were about to leave another car stopped by and there's this hot girl that went out that car with her family. Hmm I think she's 8 or higher. Lovin' this place already. But there's more to come.
And after we ate dinner I played PSP for a while until I began chatting with Maan via text. We had a little chat of our own and after a while we're all set to play the game of pinoy henyo I did cut off our conversation and said goodnight to her.
Game time!! I went on first and I was able to answer it correctly. We are definitely the underdogs in this because I am the team captain against T-Tin. We lost the game in the end because it's really tough.
And we also lost the next game of charades but we eventually stopped because it's 2:30AM in the morning and the huge rat showed up. We began making a plan to make the rat get off the kitchen and nearly 3:20AM we gave up and just went upstairs to prepare to sleep. While they are already sleeping I'm still up creating this blog post. And it's now 4:04AM and it's more than a day with no sleep for me and I don't think I'm still going to sleep.
Well even though this day had been a long day for me. And even though we got delayed and stranded. In the end the fun mattered most. And later today I'm sure there's lots of fun waiting for us in the beach. I'm so happy today. Really I am so happy today. And keep in mind that things happen when you least expect them to happen.

We were able to reach Baclaran at 6:10AM but we were able to get a awesome taxi immediately and we arrived in Pasig at 6:45AM.
Then when we arrived they just woke up and no one as in no one has started preparing yet. Fast forwarding to the time we left which is almost 9:00AM. Due the tune-up of my Mom. And something went wrong that we need to stop over at SM Megamall. We spent about 30 - 40 minutes there. Then left the mall and the next stop is for lunch at Petron NLEX's Teryaki Boy. We were able to leave Teryaki Boy at 1:00PM.
Then again something went wrong which involves the van. So my Mom stopped for a while and so I told her that I would get down to check it out. I thought she heared me so I went down to check what's going on and then my Mom started to rev up then I ran to chase the van. After going in my Mom stepped on the brakes that led the open slide door to close up. But my hand is on the other end and it got hit by the door. 3 fingers on my right were damaged. Thank God it didn't turn to a serious injury.
Then from that moment until now 3:34PM we are here in Total gas station still in NLEX, stranded. I don't know how long are still going to wait here. But so far the trip isn't going pretty well. It's still not too late to turn this thing around but first we must be able to leave this place.
After five to ten minutes that I've finished writing the first part of this post we then left the Total gas station and we all thought that the van is now in good condition and it turned out that it isn't so we then went to the nearest mechanic shop. And another hour of stop over unfolds. This trip really is a disaster at this point. Almost all of us is stressed out due to the delay and just trying to make something happen to have fun. We were able to leave that place at around 5:30PM already. And we just left the van there to get fixed and rented another one.
Then the trip to Subic Homes went pretty smooth I was able to sleep for like 20 minutes. And then we arrived in the place at around 7:30PM I think. Then the first thing that really blew us away is the breeze that you can feel once you set foot on the front door coming from inside the house. The house that we're able to check in is centralized!!! It can't get any awesome than that.
So we just fixed our things some prepared the food while the four of us T-Tin, Tito Ricky, Chito and Me went to the nearest convenience store to buy the things that we are lacking. So here we are at Uncle Ed's convenience store. It's like a mini version of S&R. Well we were the only customers at the moment. And we spent like more than 30 minutes or so. But when we were about to leave another car stopped by and there's this hot girl that went out that car with her family. Hmm I think she's 8 or higher. Lovin' this place already. But there's more to come.
And after we ate dinner I played PSP for a while until I began chatting with Maan via text. We had a little chat of our own and after a while we're all set to play the game of pinoy henyo I did cut off our conversation and said goodnight to her.
Game time!! I went on first and I was able to answer it correctly. We are definitely the underdogs in this because I am the team captain against T-Tin. We lost the game in the end because it's really tough.
And we also lost the next game of charades but we eventually stopped because it's 2:30AM in the morning and the huge rat showed up. We began making a plan to make the rat get off the kitchen and nearly 3:20AM we gave up and just went upstairs to prepare to sleep. While they are already sleeping I'm still up creating this blog post. And it's now 4:04AM and it's more than a day with no sleep for me and I don't think I'm still going to sleep.
Well even though this day had been a long day for me. And even though we got delayed and stranded. In the end the fun mattered most. And later today I'm sure there's lots of fun waiting for us in the beach. I'm so happy today. Really I am so happy today. And keep in mind that things happen when you least expect them to happen.
EP#43: Surprise Bonding
It's been like 2 months since Alah and I have seen each other and during that time frame as well we have not talked. There's a lot of ground to catch up. So what I did is that I told him that we would meet up this weekend Saturday January 6 '09.
So here we are in SM Bacoor (SMB) I arrived earlier so I just walked around for a while then here he is.
What happened next is the typical talking about what's happening in each of us. We talked about the usual topics but adding a new topic which is my book.
We ate at KFC for lunch the roamed around the mall for a while then finally settled down at Beanhopper's Coffee (BHC) to have a place to sit down and chat. In the middle of that conversation I asked him about something weird that happened in the past Tuesday and I smelled something else there. And it turned out what I smelled is true. I ain't going to tell you about that it's quite confidential. I can't believe it at once but once I saw such evidence of course I immediately changed my mind and believe what he said.
Then after hanging out at BHC we went to Circuit City because we want to play a game of NBA2K9 after a long time of us not playing. So the game was so close we ended up tied at 140 each with 3:16 left in overtime. We were not able to continue because our time in the rental ran out. After that we eventually went home.

There's more than billions of other girls
In this world
But I still can't see someone
Who could be more special than you
But it's like living in a dream
These things I want to happen
But it can't really happen
I won't stop
Staring at you
Hugging you tight
Thinking of you
From day to night
From sunrise to sunrise
And don't wake me
Because waking me up
Will make me lose all of these
Yes you're not the the prettiest
But you're something else
And no one else
Could be better than you, the best
And I want to keep my eyes closed
Because it's there that I could see you
Staring at me
Hugging me tight
Smiling at me
From day to night
From sunrise to sunrise
And don't wake me up
Because waking me up
Will make me lose all of these
But one day I woke up from this dream
And I'm shocked on what I saw
It's you
Staring at me
Hugging me tight
Lying beside me
Till the sunrise
And now this is real
No longer a dream
And there's no other girl
That could be compared to you

EP#42: PT Clinic '09 Outing: Caylabne
This happened today May 28 '09 we went to Caylabne Beach Resort at Ternate, Cavite. The one's who are included in this outing are the PT Clinic staffs and our family. We are 9 in the group composed of Me, T-Tel, T-Tin, Anne, Mommy, Kuya Natz, Kuya Nino, Ate Leslie and Ate Ann. We used two cars T-Tin's and Mom's the whole family except for T-Tin were in the Lite Ace and T-Tin together with Kuya Natz picked up the rest of the staffs mentioned above in their respective houses, I think. We were set to leave at 7:00AM but we left the house at 7:30AM. Oh well, that's the way it always goes. Btw I have a cold today and not feeling very well but I really want to go with them so I just thought of being awesome and not being sick and that did the trick.
Then during the road trip it was not really far but it took us I think 1 and a half hour, well I'm not sure because I didn't wear my watch today. On the way to the resort we encountered beautiful nature as seen from both sides of the road. So I started taking pictures using my very awesome MP5 player.
And here we are in front of the gate of the resort, we pulled over to eat snack before entering because it is a no brought food allowed resort. And all of a sudden it rained we stayed there for about 20 minutes and we saw a bus going inside the resort. I thought it was a tourist bus but no they are the Dangerous Drugs something.
Oh well moving on then, so here we are in the resort it's like as if we rented the whole resort we're the only ones who were in it. No not really of course there are other people in there but still it almost looked like a private beach resort.
When we finally settled down we started walking and went to a couple of awesome picture taking spots but it really is a long walk from the beach, not just long but very long. Walking under the extreme heat of the sun and not feeling a hundred percent because of that stupid cold, I am really feeling exhausted after that picture taking.
And after it we went to the restaurant in the resort to eat lunch and beside the restaurant is the deep big pool. It really is deep and in fact it is 7ft and how deep it is for me if I just stand up there and raised my hands up the only thing that you'll be able to see are my fingertips. No joke, it's really that deep, but who cares it's still like me awesome.
Then after eating we went back to the resorts other pool the dirty pool. But we played "taya sa gitna" there and it was really fun. I've been it couple of times wait oh yes twice. Then as time passed by we got tired of playing and transferred to the sea but I was only with T-Tel and Anne at that time and I was the only one who went in the sea. It's kind of scary it feels like a shark is coming after you. And then I saw T-Tin and the others on their way to the deep big pool so I went there as well. And began swimming from end to end and end to end. Then when we all decided to go back to the beach and rent the Aqua Trike. Kuya Natz, T-Tel, Mom and I we're the ones who were left in the deep big pool and I started doing my tumbling dive or my T-Dive.
Then after a short while we all went back to the beach and go Aqua Triking the first ones to go are Kuya Natz and Kuya Nino followed by Ate Ann and Ate Leslie then by Me and T-Tin and then Anne and T-Tel rid after us and the last pair to ride it was Me again and Mom. It was really fun but somehow tiring. We rented it for an hour and we only spent less than 30 minutes after all of us have riden the Aqua Trike. But of course I tried to do it on my own I went around with it twice. Then went back to the deep big pool and started doing T-Dives again.
At around 4:30PM we all went to clean up ourselves and be ready to leave the place. And after taking a shower and dressing up we all left the beach resort but stopped over at the Eagle Viewing Spot still inside the resort and did some picture taking and then left the resort.
We then dropped Kuya Nino off because then ate at Lolo Claro's well I was so tired that I was not able to read the description of what I've ordered properly. I thought it was 1/4 chicken + lumpiang shanghai + pancit canton. But in turned out that it is only lumpiang shaghai and pancit canton. Well my bad. After eating there we went home.
So even though I'm sick I was still able to keep up with them and was able to do the things I wanted such as T-Diving and jump shots. And it looks like from my story we only did few stuffs but I can say that really time flies when you're having fun. And it's been a long time since I've been in a beach but this experience was deifinitely like me, wait for it.. Awesome! Together with my family and the PT staffs just like me we all had a blast today.

EP#41: The Life Changing Approval
If you are thinking that this is about some girl again, no this isn't. So moving on then remember the shifting that I was nagging to you guys about the past weeks and like almost 2 months to date. Well, it is just this week Monday in particular that I started to make a move on that. And today May 20, 2009 I was able to finish the application process.
Here's the detailed version on how I did it.
Friday: It's my Mom who talked to Ma'am Yumang to seek some advice regarding my status and everything. And thanks to their little discussion my Mom was at last satisfied about my current standing, especially in the CoE/CpE field. Therefore she gave me the chance to make the call. To shift or not to CS or IT? Well, at this point I have already decided that I would really be shifting my course/program. But the huge thing that is still "smoky" or unclear to me is that I don't know whether to go for CS or IT. So I then made a schedule of my to do list for the next dew days because I am going to apply for shifting.
Monday: It's my turn to talk to Ma'am Yumang now and as I planned I will talk to her during my vacant period which is 1:30PM. So 1:30PM I went to her office but I hesitated and decided to eat first. And as my food is being cooked I texted her and she replied that she's in her office and she can talk to me right away. What I did is I told the cook that I need to talk to someone and I'll be back after a short while and she agreed with me because I'm a regular customer in there. So I then rushed to Ma'am Yumang's office then I went straight to what I really want to know and that is which is more suited for me CS or IT? The big unanswered question to be answered in just a few moments. So here's what she said a CS graduate focuses more on soft wares, programming is the life of a CS student/graduate. My job would be a pure programmer where in I'll be sitting in front of a computer 8/5. Which is what I really want to be. And on the other hand IT is similar to CS as being a programmer but she said that in IT I won't always be a programmer, but there's quite a number of jobs that I can still do such as system analyst and she mentioned a bunch of others which I've forgotten already. And at the end of the conversation I decided to be a CS student. But as I arrived in Pasig and told the others about everything that happened my Mom and T-Tel in particular told me to pursue IT and not CS. But again the final call is mine let's see what's going to happen.
Tuesday: This is the day where I would start my application, the original plan was I am going leave Pasig at 10:00AM but I was able to leave Pasig at 10:30AM. Yes, I am late this thing doesn't happen very often and also there's one thing that I forgot to bring that I really don't forget usually, my handkerchief. I arrived in Mapua at 11:30AM and I still have a class at 12:00PM so I rushed to the canteen to buy a drink then finished it off while walking to the first office that I need to go to which is the guidance office. Well when I arrived there I saw the nurse's hideout which is that office. Of course, if there's one thing that really attracts me that is a girl in a uniform especially nursing uniforms. Well, there's like 6 girls in there and half of them for me is 7 and higher. I was accommodated very well but they said that I should come back at 4:30PM after my class. And from that moment I sensed that some of these girls are checking me out. Then I still haven't eaten lunch but I still went to my class. And at around 4:20PM I went back to the guidance office again and I was instructed to go to cubicle 6 where I presented my form and have it signed by the counselor. But I was expecting a sort of interview but surprisingly I wasn't asked about anything. So I just asked if every thing's okay now and said thank you then left the cubicle. And the next office is the Student Advising office which is located at W501, yes from the ground floor I need to go up to the fifth floor w/o using the elevator. So there am I, I said that I am applying for shifting and what they said is the person that I need to talk to just went down to the guidance office the office where I was in earlier. They let me log in then gave me a paper with a name then they said present it to the guidance office. At first I went to the OSA office but after a moment of rethinking it I went to the guidance office again. And then I said "Hi, pinabalik po ako dito nung Student Advising and I'm looking for" then I presented the paper, btw the one who took my paper is the 7.75 nursing student, then that guy was just sitting right there then he asked me to come with him. I am still feeling the effect of the five floor stair round trip that I had and still I haven't eaten lunch. Then he began asking me questions in English and in return I answered him in straight English as well, but there are times that my mind is "loading" and grasping for words that I am supposed to answer, that usually don't happen. But I still managed to pull it off. And on my way out I am sweating not big time sweat but you can see it, eew :D and as I am about to open the door one of the female nurses said "oh punas ka muna pawis, ingat ka huh" not directly to me but I know it's for me. I am so tired that I didn't bother looking back to know who among those girls is the one who said that. But hey even if I am looking so stressed I still can get stuffs like that from girls ;D. The last stop for the day is the OSA office I just gave my form and the receptionist said that I should come back after lunch the next day.
Wednesday: I was expecting another interview but when I arrived at the OSA office the receptionist just gave me my form and said that I can leave already, so I just asked where should I go next and went there the Customer Service it is. Then there I presented my shifting form and they gave it back after placing a signature. And then they said that I should go to the Treasurer's office to pay the shifting fee. I thought it's going to cost me some money so I went to the window and said to the cashier "Gusto ko lang po malaman kung magkano yung bayad for shifting?" she said that it's only 50 Pesos, so I paid it and went back to the Customer Service office again then handed out my form then the one who took my form said that I should check out the bulletin board before the enrollment. That's the end of the application for my shifting. Btw the course that I shifted to is IT. Hope that my request would be granted and wish me luck on this one. ;D

RTP#34: Blog Slump
I have not uploaded any post that is written on the same day lately. Why? What's are the reasons behind my so called "blog slump"?
1. My schedule is the first thing to blame. Every Mondays and Tuesdays I'm staying in Pasig. And fyi I am always using my laptop when I am composing and uploading a blog entry. Why not compose it in my laptop then store it in a flash drive then go to a computer shop then upload it there? Well, first of all once I arrive in Pasig my energy level is quite low already so I need to rest for a while then eat dinner then start doing school stuffs then follow it by writing some stuffs and chatting with my cousins then sleep. That's how it works when I am in Pasig. And btw the average time that I arrive in Pasig is 6:00PM. And the earliest time that I go to sleep is at 10:30PM.
2. The disconnected DSL in Cavite. Well this thing is quite a shocker. For almost 2 weeks until yesterday our DSL connection is down. And who to blame of course no one else but those agents who we are calling from time to time and from day to day and still not able to work on our problem.
3. Another reason is the book that I am writing. Yes, I have come up with something to write about. Just wait for it. Sometimes instead of composing a new blog entry I am trying to come up with something new for my book. Remember that dream of seeing a book written by me in a bookstore? Once I've finished this book I can possibly make that dream come true. T-Tin told me that she'd be my editor and she also knows someone who owns a bookstore and that owner knows some publishers that could possibly publish my book. Well as of now I am still far from finishing this thing but I am trying my best to finish it asap.
These 3 reasons are quite simple when taken individually but when these reasons happens at the same time, it's quite a load. But now the only reason that is still on the wall is #3. The others are gone for now. I will try to upload a new entry as often as possible.
1. My schedule is the first thing to blame. Every Mondays and Tuesdays I'm staying in Pasig. And fyi I am always using my laptop when I am composing and uploading a blog entry. Why not compose it in my laptop then store it in a flash drive then go to a computer shop then upload it there?

PP#5: Request
Praying that someday you'll be mine
Longing for your love
Everything will be fine
All that I am asking for is one chance
So that I'll let you see how real is this feeling that
Everyday is just getting stronger and
God knows that if you'll give me a chance
I won't put it waste
Very seldom that I do something like this but
Ever since we met I felt something different
Magical that's how others describe it
Eagerness to see you everyday is what I felt
One day is a thousand days from enough
Not even a week with you will minimize the gap
Every time I close my eyes it's you I see
Can't stop thinking of you
How I wish you're with me today
And tomorrow and maybe forever
Can't ask for something more because God knows
Ever since that day all I wanted is one chance
Longing for your love
Everything will be fine
All that I am asking for is one chance
So that I'll let you see how real is this feeling that
Everyday is just getting stronger and
God knows that if you'll give me a chance
I won't put it waste

Ever since we met I felt something different

One day is a thousand days from enough
Not even a week with you will minimize the gap
Every time I close my eyes it's you I see
Can't stop thinking of you
How I wish you're with me today
And tomorrow and maybe forever
Can't ask for something more because God knows
Ever since that day all I wanted is one chance

To have a chance to see you smile
And before I go I'll hug you tight
And kiss you... Goodnight

Looking at nowhere, daydreaming
Reminiscing, about the little memories we had
It always make me smile

LP#12: Dream Please Come True
Written: May 13, 2009 @ 10:08AM
By: Benj Medina III
If I would be given a chance
To choose a dream to come true
Among the millions of dreams I had
I would choose the one I had last night
First it's you and me holding hands
While walking in a mall with a friend
I clearly saw a picture of our hands
Joined together and my grip is getting tighter
I also saw how it happened
I didn't just grabbed your hand out of nowhere
Slowly like dipping my toes in a pool
To check the temperature of the water
And after doing so
You in return took my hand
And joined them with yours
But wait I'm just getting started
The next part of my dream
Would be the part which made me choose this dream
Among the million dreams I had
Is the one that I want to be real
You and I sitting on a bed
Facing each other
While you're looking down and writing
I am staring at you
Out of the blue I asked you
What's up with this?
And that one earlier?
Are we dating now?
While you're still doing your thing you said "Yes"
I was so surprised that I asked you "Really?"
Not once but twice
Still you said "Yes"
Then before I asked you again for the last time
I made you look into my eyes
By calling you by your name twice
And tapping the bed twice to get your attention
And doing a gesture that says look into my eyes
While looking straight at each other
For the last time I asked and you said "Yeah"
Then you went back on doing your thing
And after a short pause
Slowly I moved closer to you and hugged you
You hugged me as well
My mouth is near your left ear
I whispered "I love you"
Then you whispered back "I love you too"
Then it's like the final picture in a movie
You and me hugging each other
My vision was so clear
That I even know what we're wearing
You were wearing a white shirt plus jeans
And I am wearing a black with white stripes jacket plus jeans
Definitely it is the perfect ending
Simple yet unforgettable
And I hope this dream would be real
Because I can't wait on what's going to happen next

EP#40: Mother's Day '09
This is all about what happened last Sunday, the year '09 Mother's Day.
First thing in the morning I went to my Mom's room coincidentally with Anne and Robin to greet her a happy mother's day. Then I ate breakfast and started preparing myself because we are set to leave at 10 AM. So as usual I finished ahead of time. But when we're about to leave there's one thing that is missing and that's the car keys, so we have to find it before we can leave. We were able to find the keys around 10:30AM already. Delayed on our schedule we still need to drop by at Mommy Zeny's place to greet her a happy mother's day as well.
So here we are our first stop at Mommy Zeny's house it's less than five minutes drive from our house. So we were there at 10:40AM, then we greeted her then had a little chat then they made us eat a cake then when we're about to leave Anne suddenly said that T-Tin's stucked in traffic in Bacoor and is going to MOA, that's where we're also going btw. So our grandparents overheard it and made us eat lunch there as well and we were able to leave their house at 11:15AM already.
We were able to arrive at MOA pass 1:00PM and T-Tin is getting her nails done and T-Tel's one her way. We were able to gather up at around 1:30PM already then T-Tel and T-Tin had their lunch at Chiggy's I was with them but I didn't eat. And Anne and Mom went around to window shop. Then at around 2:15PM we met with at Krispy Kreme where I saw a 8.75 just beside our table. Then we left Krispy Kreme at 2:40PM and went to RP (Robinsons Place Manila) because it's too crowded in MOA considering it's size it's still very crowded.
So here we are in RP where we went around for about 3-4 hours before we decided to look for some place to eat. Then we decided to have our dinner at KKK and we sat at one of it's large kubos at the middle of the terrace. And everything about that restaurant is just like me, awesome. Especially the bottomless sago-gulaman and the crispy kangkong, plus you can access that place through the elevator. A perfect place to have a date.
Then after eating and walking around the mall for a little while we separated ways, because Mom and I are going to stay in Pasig because it's a Sunday and I have a class the following day. And as my Mom is driving she missed one place that she should make a turn so we U-turned and I suggested another way but she didn't listened. So in the end we we're sort of lost. And was able to arrive in Pasig almost at 11:00PM already, we left RP at 9:15 btw.
And when we arrived in Pasig like Dennise said it's over populated almost all of our family are there. Then I greeted all the moms there. Then sat to have chat with all of them. Then they told us that Dale was locked in Papa and Mama's room because the doorknob was broken. And what made it even funnier and it became an instant classic when Papa said imagine this at a 80+ age he still was able to come up with this joke of his. Where he said "Pag nakulong ka kasi wag ka mag panic, kumanta ka lang (then he started singing) nakulong ako nakulong ako buksan niyo pinto buksan niyo pinto" I was lmao on that one. Classic!
Well after all of them left Dennise and I still had a little chat then at 12:30AM we went to our respective rooms to sleep.
That's probably one of the best Mother's Day celebration I had.
To all the Moms out there belated happy mother's day!!!

EP#39: Happy 8 Day
Well this thing happened like two weeks ago. It was a Monday and this happened by sheer luck and coincidence but still it is remarkable.
It all started when I rid the FX on my way to school, I left the house in Pasig 10 minutes late from the time that I supposed to leave which is 7:30AM so I left the house aroud 7:40AM. And luckily the FX still has one vacant seat which I occupied then off we go. Then I am seated in the middle row behind the passenger seat of the front row. And beside me is a 8.25. Well it is still vacation for the other schools so it is very seldom that I'll get the chance to sit beside a 8 or higher in the FX during this period. And also if you're going to think of it if I wasn't late for 10 minutes I would most probably be sitting in a different place at that time. Because that's how time works in Manila every minute counts. Then also in the jeepney ride to SM Manila I also encountered a 8. Then while walking on my to Mapua I also encountered several 8s or higher.
Basically during this day everywhere I go except the male restroom I've been seeing 8s or higher. I thought it is my birthday.
And just to clarify things when I said I am seeing 8s everywhere 8 is the least there's also some 9s. And those 8s and 9s are only their points which means with the bonus points they could possibly reach 13-14.
I'll be introducing to you 12.1. Now 12.1 is a girl that I know and I like. 12.1 fyi is her number with bonus points already. Well this was based on the improved numbers criteria of mine but she was a 9.2 based on the first one.
Well I was sitting in the school gym my row is barely occupied then as time goes by there's this girl who sat like 4 seats to my right. And from my view she sorts of look like 12.1. And I can't help but look at her from time to time. But of course it's not 12.1 because if it's her we're talking and sitting next to one another already.
Weird huh, well that's how it goes even though I was able to see a lot of 8s that day one girl still stood out against the rest, and that girl is 12.1

RTP#33: A Foggy Road
This is also a late post but a not so late post just a slightly late post. So what is this about this is the about my future. And as the title says it is foggy so it is not so clear but I know where I am heading.
Well first of all that I am officially not staying in the Burg anymore and I don't think that I am still going back and stay in that place in the future. As of now the plan is for me to stay in Cavite until we found a place where T-Tel, Anne and Me are going to stay. So I am going to stay here in Cavite before the new school year starts I think. And it looks like that things are just going okay given that situation, but not for me, well for you to understand clearly this is what I did throughout my 2 years in college. In terms of where I am staying.
1st year 1st term - 1st year 3rd term: I am traveling more than 3 hours a day (average) from Cavite to Mapua and from Mapua to Cavite.
1st year 4th term: I moved in Pasig and travel time was cut to 1 and a half hour a day from Pasig to Mapua and from Mapua to Pasig.
2nd year 1st term - 2nd year 3rd term: I moved in the Burg and travel time was cut to an hour a day via FX and 40 minutes a day via LRT.
And there you can see that I've been living at different places throughout my college, and I often joke about this but it is sort of hard for me at some point, and that is I often say that I have many houses. And in a month or two there would be a plus one in the places where I lived in throughout college. But my thing here is it's really kinda hard because once I found the rhythm that's when I get better results. I am very steady right now at the Burg, then I am shifting back to going back and forth to Cavite again. And once again I'll be experiencing the everyday traffic stress. Then after a month once I get used to it once again I'll be moving to somewhere else again, then there bang! Right on the money! I am going to start adjusting to the new place again and repeat the whole process of getting back to the rhythm once again.
And then the next thing is my shifting to another course.
Well I am shifting because of a very practical reason. And that reason would be now a days even non-computer related graduates are programmers and that's what I want to be a programmer I only took CoE because of the simple reason that I would get the advantage among the others once I apply for a job. But back in the real world our job is so in demand that they even consider hiring people that got a little programming background and then train them to get better. And I am a year delay right now, and if I am going to shift I will be cutting off that delay and graduate earlier. But of course shifting is a long process in our school. So I don't know when I am going to get approved for shifting.
And then comes the last one that is bumming me out.
Most probably and I hope that next term I would be enrolling as an IT or CS student already and thing is I am also going to change my campus. So that's another big change to consider and it's still unclear because of the place on where I am going to stay because that would affect how I am going to travel to Mapua Makati.
And another thing that is unclear for me and that is regarding you know who, but right now I also don't want to get involved in a relationship because even she is a very awesome person like me I don't want to share this load that I am carrying with her. Once I got off this foggy road and she's still there which I hope, then it's the right time for me to do something about this.
Despite carrying this things I still manage to do well. And that's why even it seems like I am joking I always thank God that He made me this awesome, it's true because if He didn't I am probably breaking down right now.

LP#11: Hurry
One day I found myself
Alone in a room
Nowhere to go
Got a bomb right in front of me
And it only got 3 minutes till it explodes
Tick tock tick tock
Clock's ticking and I ain't moving
All I do is thinking got to act now
Or else I'll be saying goodbye
And when there's nowhere to go
And you're all alone
With the world against you
What do you do?
After the moment of shock faded
I started moving and no time is wasted
Because there's another way to end this
There's only one piece that is missing
To conquer it all
But I've got be careful
Because like defusing a bomb
With a single mistake
And all will be over
No I don't want that ending
Even though my whole life will be changing
It's a risk I'm willing to take
And will only be make and not break
For the world is so tough
Sometimes you've got to risk it all
And let your self be vulnerable to failure
Defy the odds and look forward for more in the future
Alone in a room
Nowhere to go
Got a bomb right in front of me
And it only got 3 minutes till it explodes
Tick tock tick tock
Clock's ticking and I ain't moving
All I do is thinking got to act now
Or else I'll be saying goodbye
And when there's nowhere to go
And you're all alone
With the world against you
What do you do?
After the moment of shock faded
I started moving and no time is wasted
Because there's another way to end this
There's only one piece that is missing
To conquer it all
But I've got be careful
Because like defusing a bomb
With a single mistake
And all will be over
No I don't want that ending
Even though my whole life will be changing
It's a risk I'm willing to take
And will only be make and not break
For the world is so tough
Sometimes you've got to risk it all
And let your self be vulnerable to failure
Defy the odds and look forward for more in the future
