don't fight people who are either below or above your own level.
you are no match for those higher than yours; those below are a waste of time.


i'm really excited for the coming school year.
so excited, i could actually taste it in the air.
summer's over. yipee.

here are some of the things that happened to me this summer:

1. i was kicked out of the radio station.
2. i got promoted as department chairman for mass communications.
3. i got keratitis (an inflammation of the cornea). i was legally blind for three weeks. could not see at dusk and at dawn. as in.
4. i spent a few thousand pesos for new contact lenses and new eyeglasses (this even though the school has not given my salary all summer. thank you, Jesus.).
5. i met new friends. they're helping me out with my seminars for this coming semester. the likes of a former pinoy/brazilian franciscan monk-cum-dj, a CGI supervisor for captain barbel, and a department chairman for psychology.
6. i learned how to improve my html skills.
7. i finished one action research on stress manifestations.
8. i got to attend a seminar on communication impact at UPLB.
9. through diet and angel, the radio has launched its new tarpaulin. and got itself a new batch of radio personnel.
10. i've lost my cookies for this page yet again.

this is just a run-through of the most important things that happened this summer.
more to come. don't worry. devilish LOL

keep in touch
:p

it's been a while since i've posted anything here.
(if you only knew how much i wanted to write.)

anyway, i (almost) lost my eyes to keratitis (inflammation of the cornea) recently due to severe irritation. the culprit? my contact lenses. as of typing, i could barely see the keyboard, let along the screen. but i am trying. bare with me.

for the next two weeks i will not be allowed to use contacts, or at least until my eyes are well. i actually ordered a new pair of lenses, but the stocks were out. my glasses will arrive two mondays from now. so here i am now. blind as a bat. almost.

***
that aside, a friend of mine is asking me to put up a writer's group for batangueños. i have started gathering friends and colleagues as initial members of the group. we shall focus on batangueño poetry and children's literature for the time being. if you're interested, just gimme a holler. if given the break, our work might be published. the group is backed by the CCP and the UST creative writing society. initial fundings are now being worked out through the NCCA.

we have also hailed the newest batch of campus radio personnel. wanna see?


***
speaking of the radio, the marketing the department is taking over the programming scheds. i will not let them. (devilish laugh)

***
lastly, i got "promoted".
i am now the department chairman for mass communications.
two years. two long years.
mukhang dadami ang kaaway ko nito.

gimme a holler aight?
peace out
