No Thanks

I won't make this long.

Know your boundaries, stick with what you do, and stop getting it to your head.

Good night folks.

To my friends who "Do it with models", You can '"Do it BEST!"

So if you guys want to feel more rush in sports and redefine Arts and Culture, choose the BEST--choose MOCCA RAYMUNDO as your SAC Councilor!

Dahil kay MOCCA, the BEST ka! XD

Just Before Another Iteration on year++

Like what I usually tell my mom, it's been a very great year for us albeit she had undergone an operation. As to me, you don't really "count" by the year, as new year is just another day, just a new day in a week. But just to stick with what everyone has been doing I've thought of several things that I think I should try changing, or start doing as 12 strikes tomorrow (in no particular order):

Get more involved in the church

This actually scared me because most if not everyone know that I'm not religiously religious. (no pun intended) I just thought of this when I was getting firm with my individuality one time in our Katipunan balcony. Before, I thought the saying "pray, it really works" is just another ploy to get me into prayer. But I later realized, it does really work. :) So in return, I'd want to help out in spreading the word--starting by hearing mass every Sunday without a miss. (Trivia: I actually thought what I felt was a 'calling', it almost made my cry, seriously.)

Be punctual

This would not only make me more responsible, but as well to make an impression that I'm really serious about work. More often that not, I would rather be late than to be not ready, in any way, for an appointment. But this made me realize that in some cases, being unprepared is actually better than being late. As told to me by my sisters, in the real world (where everyone depends on you) TIME is really important. You being late is just like a delayed flight--I would not want to be the reason for every one's dissapointment.

Save up MORE

I often argue with my family that I am not overspending. Now that I browsed through my account history online, I actually realized that, sadly, I do. I actually get into a dilemma when I spend: I stand by my belief that I should spend for this thing since I really like it--it's the reason why I work/save up anyway, and with the belief that I should save up so I would have a sense of security. It's really hard especially if it's something I really wanted, but the numbers are tempting. Now that it's disappointing, I should start to reconsider.

Earn more

I've been getting involved in quite a few ways on how I could start earning as early as now. This does not only injects more cash to my account, but opens my eyes into the reality of how hard it is to earn. (That I'm not supposed to ask my parents to buy this and do that as fortune is not earned overnight.) This early, I've been thinking of ways on how I could get into to the business (for the future). I'm currently eyeing on real estate.

Easy on the good times

Yes, all work and no play makes Kee a dull boy. But no play is of lesser evil (I think.) Yes, I can balance work and play, but sometimes it's a bit hard to refuse when the beat is there.

Study harder

Not that I'm not studying hard. I just realized that I actually focus more on the things/subjects that interest me even if they would entail decrease in performance on the others. A lot of people can attest to that--kina-career kumbaga ko ang bagay kung interesado talaga ako.

Be a good better boy

Not that I'm a bad boy. (Defensive, eh?) Just like what someone told me, respect is for everyone. I should start seeing things from others' eyes and start being in others' shoes.

I usually say every year: I don't promise anything for new year as I'll just do what I am supposed, and expected to do. But talk is cheap, they say. At least I have my guidelines. :)

Happy New Year everyone! :)

Last /Weak/

I haven't gone to mass and the local barber shop (where it's way cheaper, as compared to its Katipunan counterparts) today--and this is what I'm doing on a pretty quiet Sunday.

It was tiring week--and yes I got pissed and happy one way or another. :)

Monday we (Ate Jonnah, Ate Pikka, and I) went to Tiendesitas to get some stuff for Christmas. It's been a while since I've last been there.

Tuesday I worked on the UP Cursor's lorica for the Engg Week. I had a fight with babe because of my schedule. Anyway, I realized one thing after working on it for nine straight hours--half of which I was alone: you don't say that you're an artist. Be specific: what kind of artist? Do you paint, draw, 'lilok', or do graphic art. The Lorica competition was more of a fashion design than an art competition--really, and it's not my kind of art. The materials I brought were just illustration boards and an old computer (that we dismantled) to create a next gen armor, and the rest had FABRICS. Well, we ended up 7th (out of 12) which is not bad (no sarcasm). Thanks and good job to everyone who helped out! :)

Technorica + the USB weapon. XD

Wednesday I worked on the acad stuff I missed, then VTR-ed for CREST Tuna with Mariane for Castengg Call. I wonder if we won a spot, but it was nevertheless good. :)

Thursday, had a client call for our CS 192 project. The meeting was not that long, actually, the meeting ended with us just saying "Good Morning, Sir!" since the client, I think, more or less already has a vision of what we were planning. I just want to apologize to Ma'am Chris--easify is slang. XD Since classes were suspended 1PM, I have decided to ask babe if we could lunch, and we ended up eating pepper.

All the way to Rockwell just to get Pepper Lunch. :)

After (as always) we grabbed some Chais from Coffee Bean (and thanks to WiGo--I was able to work on FLoW!) We had to go back 5PM since I have a lab class for CS 165 and she had to attend (hello Inna!) Kapekonomiya.

Friday we worked on FLoW's Analysis draft (and again modified the proposal and diagrams). I am really enthusiastic about this project since this was the first time that I conceptualized on how I can make our project sell. *heart pumps Marketing blood* Plus of course that our plans are good, rather VERY GOOD! Oh, by the way, with FLoW, I meant this:

a.k.a. The Filipino Loan Words Project

Saturday, Math 55 exam. I was not able to review well because of bad things leading to another (or was it BAD INFLUENCES, haha!). I even reviewed the night before over at Starb BUT there were two annoying tables who were trying to make everyone hear how 'cool' they are--the least to their thinking. I was really annoyed the whole time until babe surprised me when all the while I thought she had already gone home. :) Back to Saturday, I went home and a party surprised me, haha. It was not for me.

It was also the same day that Ma'am Jo (Ate Jonnah, in our professional client-to-agency talk) gave me a copy of my latest project with her.

One of my most favorite print projects! XD

It was also the same day when CHICKENS woke me up! You read it right--four floors up, along a major metropolitan thoroughfare there were CHICKENS. I thought I would only hear them when I'm in our Bulacan home, but nooo.

I am currently configuring my fone so that I could use it as a modem, until I saw this pic from last month:

On a bus in Tsim Sha Tsui! XD

Anyway, I promised myself to work on the new layout of my blog over the holidays (while working on some school stuff!) Ate Jonnah has arrived and I'm not that bored anymore.

Over and out! XD

BY THE WAY I will be hosting (together with Mayee) UP Sigaw UP Hataw tomorrow. Please do drop by Maguinhawa Court tomorrow if you have time! XD

Not Gonna Happen

:]

That's when you're (insert word here) without losing professionalism and compromising becomingness.

*sighs*

Back When We Were On "Drugs" XD

I was scanning through Vic's album when I chanced upon THIS:

Back when Vic was fat, Arch was lost, and I had hair. (And Justin was in such a bad fate?)

We were on "defrost mode" after watching World Trade Center. Haha! Naisipan ko lang ipost, nagulat ako ganito kami kasabog noon. :)) You guys are the best! *punches chest and points*

Dirty south is just barely four months away. XD

A Kee-stmas Post XD

Hey fellas!

Yep, trite as it may sound but yeah, Christmas is so damn near. I've been equally naughty and nice for the year--I won't be THAT surprised if I don't make it to Santa's list! (Hmm, if only Santa accepts prerogs, *weeeh*)

Christmas, the least for me, would be pretty much different this time for a reason or two. Different in a sense that a lot of new stuff awaits. It actually feels kinda weird that I no longer look forward to Christmas as how I do a couple of years ago. But hey, we're still gon' sip Bacardi Mompo 'cause it's His birthday! :)

Forgiveness is Absolut.

Just like what she keeps on telling me: as we grow older, we demand, rather look forward to simpler things--from grand to simple, from tangible to intangible, and such. Well who are we kidding here, Christmas is a time for presents and longer mall hours. But you know what, she's right. As a kid, I've always wanted to get a long-range walkie talkie. Now, a warm talk can make the Yuletide special--just how it did a year ago. :)

Over and out. XD

Okay, I'd rather not enumerate in escalating order since it would appear too unimpromptu [sic], but here are some stuff that I want for the season:

...and a thing called LOVE.

[LOVE] All of us wants love. It may sound too emotional but I'm very proud that my family has a lot of this for each of us. It's so grand in scale that if it were a loan, it would never be granted. And of course, my 10 month baby girl. :) It's been almost a year since I "played the music" and I promise to keep it on loop forever. :)

[MATURITY] A little bit more. I've grown to handle stuff quite right, I just haven't tapped on everything--yet.

The Menace. XD

[YELLOW & BLACK] Huh? Yeah--anything yellow and black. Just how I described myself yesterday: if I were a nation, these are my national colors. (Sorry, I'm now starting on the tangible ones, hehe!)

keelio*

[celio*] Most if not everyone knows that it's my favorite store. In case you don't, know you do. ;)

Okay I've crossed the line. XD Have a great holiday fellas! :)
