Minutes before 2012

Some thoughts about the ending 2011 and coming 2012:
-2011 was really fascinating with all these 1's and 11's. 2012 is more controversial with the news that the world is coming to it's end.
-It was a changing 2011 for me. New college and new friends, parents abroad and an independent me. It is going to be a challenging 2012 for me. Higher standards and goals, much more responsibilities, study more seriously.
-2011 was a bit emotional with all these childish thoughts and acts and being so careless, selfish, and spoiled little lass inside of me. 2012, I am going to take you more maturely and positively.
-Time is really a great healer. The not-so-good past must really be forgotten to face a so-so-good tomorrow.
-I was a stubborn kid of 2011, I am going to be an obedient teen of 2012.
-I got sick four times, and was hospitalized once during 2011. I am not going to feel any worries about my health this 2012.
-I have found no time and place in 2011 to spend more with God; I am going to spend every time and place with Him this 2012.
-I was full of love and care in 2011. My cup will always be empty to be filled with much more love and care this 2012.
 The Lord has been really good to me and I know that He will never change, no matter how many days, months or even years may come to my life. To Him will always be the thanks, the praise and the glory.
Happy 2012!

Hey, Blogger

Medyo naaalala ko pa yung mga dahilan ko kung bakit ako gumawa ng blog:
1. Paglalagyan ng mga kung anu-anong mga sulat at kalokohan ko pati ng mga classmates ko.
2. Paglalagyan ng mga sariling-akdang tula ng mga classmates ko pa din.
3. Paglalagyan ng mga nababasang mga inspirational stories.
4. Paglalagyan ng mga kakaibang nangyari sa buhay ko.
5. Paglalagyan ng mga nakatagong damdamin.
6. Paglalagyan ng mga naka-imbak sa utak na mga ideya at kaisipan.
Pangarap ko talagang maging manunulat. Hindi yung klase ng manunulat na ang mga sariling sulat ay ang sarili ko lang talaga ang magkakainteres. Sana nga lang talaga, ganoon. Hindi masama mangarap di'ba?
Puro lagayan lang pala talaga PARA SA AKIN ang blog. Sa inyo ba, ano ang blog niyo?

Prologue

I already have posted this three months ago and I just like a repost. Haha.
The truth is, I made this short story for the celebration of Buwan ng Wika last August. But then, I finished it late and hadn't posted it on time. So I blogged it as a random post.
This is my first short story ever written and is inspired by a University of the Philippines' student. I forgot his name and his book but thanks to him I have gathered ideas and thoughts and have written a story.
Being in the dormitory for the last month of the semester with no television, no money, no food, and no good internet, you'll really find ways just to get yourself busy and entertained. That is why, this came up.
I am not a pro-writer, just a beginner. Get yourself entertained too while reading.
Note: Characters, setting, and plot are all fictional.
Have Fun!

why then?

I have posted recently that I have made changes to my blog. These changes are not minor like simple things of changing the background or template. I made a major change to my blog, and that for me is the URL or the Uniform/Universal Resource Locator. According to Wikipedia, URL is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to an Internet resource. (Click Here to read more.) It's a major change for me, I do not know what other domain owners think out there. I have been holding "najbeingme.blogspot.com" for almost 3 years and it has made a contribution to me, should I say. I was really thinking many times before already changing the URL. I was thinking that I do not have any new URL in mind for a change and maybe some who read my blog may be lost if they try to visit this again. And without really second thought, although I was really thinking hard, I was already changing the URL to a new one and I clicked "Save". Now, there it is. Ta-da! The new URL: "not-really-an-arcane.blogspot.com.
While editing some other things in my blog, my sister sat next to me then asked me, "What's arcane, Ate?"
Well, I have read arcane in a magazine some months ago and I even have mistakenly read it as 'arcade' because they have the same spelling except for the 5th letter. So, I browsed the dictionary in my cellphone and found arcane. The dictionary says that, Arcane is something that is secret or mysterious. I found it interesting and it must have remained in my permanent memory and it came up while changing the URL.
I have read a blogpost that talks about trying to have a good URL. The blogger states there that it must really be eye-catching so that people would be interested in taking a peek or even look or read your blog. It must also not be a common URL. I really do not know what's a common URL, hehe. And the last thing I remembered he said is that do not even really try hard for your URL to be accepted when there is already an existing URL that you want. Like, forcing "gandaaaaaaaaa" as a URL because the word, 'ganda' is already used.
Well as for me, as long as the URL you want is what fits you, your interest or just what you like even it's really nonsense, use it. Just express yourself freely and I'm sure you will be contented and happy.

for the anniversary

After blogging for almost 3 years, I have already shared  many ideas, poems, stories, literature, writings, and many other stuffs. Some are quite interesting, others are just really nonsense but still I have expressed myself although not clearly ( yeah, right ). I have shared many but every tomorrow is always another day so everyday I can always have new thoughts and ideas in mind. This coming 2012, I am planning and it is also in the list of my New Year's Resolution to be always updated with this blog and I am also thinking of earning while just easily blogging. How  clever am I! LOL. So now that I am much serious than the last blog I have posted the first term of this passing year, I will really be earnest and diligent in blogging necessary and useful readings. Okay, I cannot promise that all my posts are really that worth reading but still it will be worth post adding. ( huh?? duh. )
For the 3rd anniversary of najbeingme.blogspot.com, I am changing the URL to not-really-an-arcane.blogspot.com. I changed the blog title to "a twerp" from "the less mystery". I like the blog description, I hope it really fits. I also have changed the background to my most favorite comic character - Charlie Brown and Snoopy. YEY, so happy. HAHA.

Patchwork of Love

People say a mother's love is the greatest. It is peace, need not to be acquired, need not to be deserved. Some also say she is a bank where we deposit our hurts, worries, and pains. Many has testified that her hope for her children never fails and that she has never lost her child in her prayers. Most sees that she is so strong yet she has the softest and largest heart. Men thinks that it is really hard being a mother cause if it were that easy, fathers then should do it.
My mother is like an angel. Well, not like. She really is an angel. God has given me the best angel. She is someone who has never lost her love for me though i have made mistakes and already hurt her too much. She has never taken me for granted. She always appreciates everything I do for her and is always proud of me.
But sometimes, although she has the greatest part of my everything, she still needs to be away from us - to work out of her own country just to support our needs and goals in life. She needs to sacrifice her time for her family just to spend time with others abroad. She is the superior in the house, she makes rules and regulations, and is always there to remind if anyone has forgot. But miles and miles away, she's only a mediocre, a follower, and the one who's is reminded. These things can make a person feel inferior, have low self-confidence, be homesick, be lonely. But I will believe to what most sees to mother - she is strong. Because this is what I see. She has never showed me how sad and hurt she is. Her tears are the most significant. They will never flow unless reasons are really something. A mother knows that when she cries, her children will cry too. They have a unique tie, my flesh are from my mother's. She still continues working because her children are her inspiration. She never minds the cumbersome work, the alone days, the give-up feelings. Instead, she is looking forward to what she has worked with would bring to her loved ones. She misses us already, and I miss her more.
I am really naive, not thinking that my mother won't always be happy and fine. I forgot that life on earth is really, really hard. I felt relaxed and easy with the temporary things. I forgot the special things that must have been taken an important notice.
Now I know the feelings of those people I know whose parents are abroad.
Although some are already used having their parents away from them, all I want them to feel and think of is that, a parent being away with the persons whom they really love and care is not easy. Making money is not at all easy, guys. How much more if they are away from their loved ones and there is no one whom they can talk to, and share their inmost feelings? It's really good hi-tech is here. There's no reason not talking to them.
 I can't imagine many months more without my mother. I miss her already. I miss my father too, of course. Can't wait for their coming back home. :D
People, love your mother. You never know how much she loves you.

arte

nalulungkot ako. naiiyak. naiinis.
ampanget na mukha ko. lagi naman.
masakit sa ilong, sa lalamunan, sa dibdib.
yun yung pag pinipigilang umiyak.
magsisinungaling, para walang mag-alala.
susulat para mapigilang lumuha.
maaawa sa sarili. di alam gagawin.
walang makakausap.
ayaw ko mag-isip ng todo.
nakakatakot.
sa huli, sa banyo ang uwi.

The Lesson

Have you ever had the thought, "Life is unfair?" Just because they are rich, you are poor; they are smart, you are not; they have good looks, you don't; they have many talents, you only have one.
Have you ever heard or even read the quote, "Remember, you are unique, just like everyone else." How ironic.
Maybe it's really not unfair, but it's just funny. "Life is a joke, then." Eat a live toad first thing in the morning, and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day. Life shows you how good you are with something but then, you'll meet someone way better than you. It tells us to go ahead and take risks but just be sure everything will turn out okay. And sometimes, it's frustrating when you know the answer but nobody bothers you to ask the question. Time is a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician. You'll see the girl of your dreams, but she will just dump you, waking you up from your beautiful nightmare. Funny, right?
But that what makes life, jokingly unfair. Without jokes, everything is sad and gloomy. If all is fair, where's the challenge?
The real thought then, must be, "Life is a Fable." It's unfair because in the story, you can be an animal or a thing. But it's funny cause you talk, think like a wise man, and is in a conflict (when in reality, animals just behave through their nature or instinct or non-living things are not alive. haha!).
The ending? You will always learn. :)

Hiling


Minsan kang humiling dahil sa isang pagkakamali
May halong pamimilit, kaya siguro dininig.
Tamang desisyon na may maling aksyon?
O tamang aksyon na may maling desisyon?

Ang landas mong napili, di mawari-wari
Kung ito nga ba ang dapat mong tahakin,
O di kaya’y ipagwalang-bahala nalang,
Kahit saglit.

Saglit mang kung isipin, ikaw’y mahuhuli pa rin
Kaya itinuloy nalang and takbuhin,
 kahit ang damdami’y hindi kaakit-akit.

Napadaan ka ngayon sa likong masaya
Iyong dinadaanan, napuno ng ligaya
Natuwa ka ba dahil ika’y natawa?
O, natawa ka dahil ika’y natuwa?

Pero sadyang hindi mo pa kabisado ang dinadaanan mo,
Ligaya’y napalitan ng lungkot,
Pakiramadam mo tuloy, dumating ay salot.

Sa isang pag liko ng iyong daanan,
Baku-bako, biglang tumambad.
Di ka pa naman sanay sa maputik at mabatong daan.
Tuloy, sugat at hirap, iyong naranasan.

Tumigil ka ba para umiyak?
O umiyak nalang para tumigil?

Tila baga, nawalan ka ng pag-asa
Buti nalang, may singit na eksena.
Umiiyak ka pa rin, ang paglakad ay hindi tinigil
Kasabay ng iyong mga hakbang at hikbi,
Maririnig ay isang hiling:
“Pwede ba akong bumalik sa umpisa?
Hindi pa kasi ako sanay sa hirap at dusa.”

Hindi mo talaga alam kung ikaw ay pagod na,
O gusto mo lang talagang ang mga iyan ay takasan na.

Nag-antay ka ng tanda, sa signos umasa.
Walang patid na paghiling,
Mga hikbing walang tigil.

Nagbibingi-bingihan ba ang langit?
O, nabingi nalang sa nakaririndi mong tinig?

“Pwede ba akong bumalik sa umpisa?
Hindi pa kasi ako sanay sa hirap at dusa.”
Mukhang dumating na nga ang tanda,
Ang signos na ninanasa

Naranasan mo na ang ligaya, pati na rin ang hirap at dusa.
Malamang alam mo na nga, kung ano ang ihahanda.
Panibagong landas na iyong tatahakin,
May alam ka na rin kung pa’no harapin.

Maaaring mabawasan o madagdagan,
Tuwa’t tawa na iyong naramdaman.
Ang pagiging mag-isa ay lalo mong asahan,
Di lahat ng bagay ay iyong katutuwaan.

Nahiyangan mong lubak at putik,
Iyong madadaanan pang muli.
Aatras ka ba sa nasimulan mo?
O, sisimulan mo ng atrasan ang kahilingan mo?

Minsan kang humiling dahil siguro sa isang pagkakamali.
May halo palang pamimilit, kaya yata dininig.


-gusto ko lang ulit magpost ng tula. antagal na nung huli eh. :)

lies.

"don't get mad when people accuse you of lying.
we just don't tell them everything."

-nabasa ko sa likod ng lumang math notebook.
di ko na matandaan kung sino nagsabi.
i only write things that make sense to me.
 and as i reflected backwards.. 
i remembered,
i was keeping too many secrets pala. haha.
but that was BEFORE.

"di naman kasi pwedeng lahat alam nila di'ba?"

Death of death


Jesus: Adam, come here.
Adam walked slowly towards the Lord.
Jesus: Do you see this lamb?
Adam: Yes, Lord. It is one of your beautiful creations, so gentle and kind.
Jesus: I want you to find a very sharp object.
After getting a sharp object, Adam went back to the Lord.
Adam: Here Lord is the sharp object. What shall I do with this?
Jesus: I want you to use that sharp object to cut the throat of this lamb.
Adam: Why, Lord?
Jesus: Just do it.

Then, maybe at that very moment, Adam felt the strangest feeling of all. Maybe his hands started shaking. His knees were trembling and he was sweating a lot. Slowly, he cut the throat of the lamb. Blood started pouring out and he can see the helpless lamb, hardly catching its breath. Then maybe Adam felt very, very sad and started crying.

Adam: Lord, what did I just do? I killed the lamb.
Jesus: Adam, I am that Lamb. I am the Lamb that takes away the sins of this world.

That very moment on, Adam and Eve’s sin was washed away by the blood of the lamb offered to God - The blood that represents Christ as a sacrifice. Because of sin, the disobedience to God’s word, we died spiritually. We were disconnected to Christ. We were hopeless. But because of a helpless lamb that must be sacrificed, hope was revived.
Christ came down in the earth, left His heavenly kingdom and transformed to a man, a human being. Amazing love He has for us. He was condemned and forsaken. He suffered man’s sin. He carried a cross, wore a crown of thorns, and was beaten badly. He bled and was hurt physically but nothing can compare to the hurt he felt inside. The Lamb of God died just for you and me. He accepted the ransom to die for the payment of our lives.
Faith, Hope and Love. And the greatest of this is Love.

Honorable Conduct, Seeking Counsel

 I don't want to a make another mistake. Cause the second time I'm gonna be doing that mistake again, it's already a choice.

"A young man who enjoys the society and wins the friendship of a young lady unknown to her parents, does not act a noble Christian part toward her or toward her parents. Through secret communications and meetings he may gain an influence over her mind; but in so doing he fails to manifest that nobility and integrity of soul which every child of God will possess. In order to accomplish their ends, they act a part that is not frank and open and according to the Bible standard, and prove themselves untrue to those who love them and try to be faithful guardians over them..."
  "The question is asked, 'Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?' and the answer is given, "By taking heed thereto according to Thy word.' The young man who makes the Bible his guide, need not mistake the path of duty and of safety. That blessed book will teach him to preserve his integrity of character, to be truthful, to practice no deception. 'Thou shalt not steal,' was written by the finger of God upon the tables of stones; yet how much underhand stealing of affections is practiced and excused.." ~Review and Herald, January 26, 1886
  "If you are blessed with God-fearing parents, seek counsel of them. Open to them your hopes and plans, learn the lessons which their life experiences have taught, and you will be saved many heartache. Above all, make Christ your counselor. Study His Word with prayer.
  "Under such guidance let a young woman accept as a life companion only one who possess pure, manly traits of character, one who is diligent, aspiring, and honest, one who loves and fears God. Let a young man seek one to stand by his side who is fitted to bear her share of life's burdens, one whose influence will ennoble and refine him, and who will maker him happy in her lover." ~ The Ministry of Healing, pp. 358, 359

to another church

Parents doesn't approve of you going to another church..
This is a common problem to teenagers whose parents are devoted to their accustomed religion.
Teens are having a hard time asking their parents if they can attend or join other churches or other church fellowships. Some are scolded, some are given the cold treatment, and some may be grounded of their social activities just because they want to engage to another spiritual experiences.

But here are advices from the Bible.

1. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." ~Proverbs 9:10
The youth will not become weak-minded or inefficient by consecrating themselves to the service of God. Them, who consecrate their hearts and lives to God have, in so doing, placed themselves in connection with the Fountain of all wisdom and excellence.
2. "Honor thy father and mother." ~Exodus 20:12
This is the first commandment with a promise, "that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."
3. Although we are asked to honor our father and mother, we must also put in mind that in the very first commandment, God said, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me." ~Exodus 20:1-3
While we honor and love our parents, God wants us to put Him first and love Him above all.
4. "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." ~Revelation 1:3
Search the Scriptures for yourself. Although one cannot really go to the church he wants, God wants us to read His words and search for what really is the truth. He wants us to obey what it says for what God has said is the very best for us. God wants us that what we may learn from Him will be written in our hearts. Thus, making our faith in Him grow.
5. For this is what the high and lofty One says - he who lives forever, whose name is holy:  “I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." ~ Isaiah 57:15 
And always remember to connect with God; it brings us harmony in Him. The youth who finds his joy in reading the Word of God, and in the hour of prayer, will be constantly refreshed by drafts from the fountain of life.


PS:
Have you ever wondered why God said the word "remember" in His fourth commandment?? :)

ang tusong matsing.

maikling part lang to ng nabasa ko. wala lang, gusto ko lang sya iblog. antagal kasi matapos nung maikling kwento niya eh.

"Humakbang paunahan si Mario, malapit sayo at nagsalita ng pabulong sa tenga mo ng dahan-dahan, “Tol, pasensya ka na. Akin na ang mahal mo.” Sabay ngisi ng tusong matsing. Inakbayan nito ang babae, patunay na sila na nga. Natulala ka nalang, kasabay ng tunog ng bell, nagsulputan na parang mga kabute ang mga estudyante. Maingay ang paligid mo pero pakiramdam mo, nabibingi ka ng katahimakan ng sakit na nararamdaman mo. Hinawakan ka sa braso ng mahal mo na ngayon ay pagmamay-ari na ng iba. Hinawakan ka niya, pagpaparamdam ng paghingi na tawad. Tiningnan mo sya sa mukha at nakita mong muli ang maganda niyang ngiti. Wala ka ng nagawa kundi gantihan din sya ng isang malungkot na ngiti. Naglakad ka na palabas ng kanilang bilding, naramdaman mo nalang na unti-unting tumutulo ang mga butil ng luha sa iyong pisngi. Kung pipigilan mo ito, masakit sa dibdib kaya hinayaan mo nalang. At iyon nga si Mario, ang tusong matsing."

itutuloy.. :D

gusto.

gusto ko talaga magpost ng bago. kaso sa dami ng iniisip ko, (totoo ba to?) wala akong maisip.
2 hours and 30 minutes na kong nagiinternet. paikot-ikot sa twitter, facebook, blog, yahoomail, gmail, at tumblr. walang matinong nagagawa. may matino sanang nagawa kung nagpost na matino sa blog. kaso hindi eh. gusto ko din sana gumawa ng poem. actually, marami na kong nagagawa. puro first stanza nga lang. kung pagsasama-samahin ko siguro yung mga 1st stanzas, may poem na kong nabuo. di nga lang connected.
gusto ko din magpost ng blog about movie reviews. sa 3 months ko pa lang kasi na pagstay sa dorm, tadtad na din napanuod kong movie. kaso, mahirap maging critic ng movie kaya wag nalang.
gusto ko din iblog ang maraming-maraming thoughts na naiisip ko habang naglalakad sa campus. kaso may alzheimer ata ako, nalimutan ko na mga naisip ko.
gusto ko din sana magblog ng tungkol sa katabi ko ngayon kaso binabasa nya tong ginagawa ko. nakakahiya naman, pinagmamadali pa ko. sipain ko kaya to? -.-
gusto ko din magpost sa blog ng pictures, kaso mabagal ang internet ngayon, kaya wag na lang.
magboblog din sana ako ng mga foods na kinakain namin sa cafeteria kaso lowbatt na ang laptop ko kaya di ko na din matutuloy.
ang dami ko dibang naiisip? pero ang hirap talagang magmulti-task. makikinig ka sa kwento habang nagtatype ako nito. anung konek?
anyway, may new post na ulit ako sa blog! ansaya.
wala tong second reading, pasensya sa mga wrong grammaaaaar ng tagalog.
Pilipino ako pero mahirap lang talaga ang Filipino.
k, bye.

Dearest, You..


This morning, we were 30 minutes late for the student convocation in our university. The big doors of the chapel or may I say, the church were already closed because the hall is already full and there were only few seats for the late comers. Late comers are not really that welcome.  

The last day for the week of prayer was this morning and we were late. I really felt sad about that and not because we were late for the attendance but because, it is the WEEK OF PRAYER. I miss the part of the prayer garden. I also missed the singspiration part where the students are singing praises to God. I missed my favourite part where we are singing my new favourite song, the theme song. I also missed the part where the choir singing angelically. I missed almost half of the speaker’s message. And I really felt guilty with that.  But as I am coming to realization, there is something different I must be pondering on.
 
“Everyday must be a day of prayer and every week must be a week of prayer.”

It is not the other contents of the program that must only be considered special but it is PRAYER itself that must be considered very importantly.

It’s not only this week that must be special because it’s a part of the school’s special program but every week must be special. Very special for the Lord has always been so good. He is so good that He has given us the privilege to speak with Him, talk to Him, meditate on Him, spend personal time with Him through prayer.

I thank God for the week of prayer. I thank God for the realization. I thank God for prayer.

Amen.

weird words


I remember my English teachers who always tell us to write down words we don't know when we're reading and look it up in the dictionary. Well, I did not do that. I just read the dictionary when I have assignments about vocabulary. And as I'm growing up, I realized that looking up in the dictionary for words I don't know is very helpful and that I almost missed three-fourth of my life because I'm not doing that. So now, when I'm really bored, waiting for someone or just about to sleep, I always open the dictionary application of my cellphone and just read and search for interesting words there. When there are new words I heard or read, I just open my cellphone and there, another vocabulary. Sometimes, when I'm already tired of facebooking, done with the assignments, or just bored, I find it bizarre that I would just open Microsoft Office Word then look for the synonyms of a word; when I'm not contented, I would open the browser and search for words I would find very peculiar.
And here's a list of the words I really like:
1. Cruciverbalism - the art of crossword compilation or being a fan of crossword puzzles 
2. Accubitus - lying together in the same bed, but without any venereal commerce. 
3. Hagiology - is literature that narrates the lives and legends of saints and venerated holy people or, ephemeral events of a supernatural nature 
4. Liripoop - refers to the tassle found on a graduate's hood, (academic attire rarely worn today). The liripoop hung down the back when the hood was off, and wound around the head like a turban when the hood was on. 
5. Acersecomic - one whose hair has never been cut. 
6. Spondulicks - is an American slang term for money or cash (which the sponger never seems to have enough of in his pocket to pay for his drink, his meal, or your's for that matter. 
7. Timorous - frightened and nervous of other people and situations 
8. Bonhomie - happy, good-natured friendliness. 
9. Kaput - completely broken, useless or finished. 
10. Joie de vivre - a feeling of happiness and enjoyment of life
11. Obsequious - criticizing someone because they are too eager to help or agree with someone more important than them.
12. Kedgeree - a cooked dish consisting of rice, fish, and eggs.
13.Bone box - a pejorative term for the mouth.
14. Mesonoxian - Pertaining to midnight.
16. Nudiustertian - The day before yesterday.
17. Rastaquouere - A social climber.
18. Chinkers - coins, money.
19. Couchee - a visit received about bedtime.
20. Kook - someone who you think is slightly strange or eccentric.
21. Lachrymose - someone who cries very easily and very often.
22. Lackadaisical - someone who is rather lazy and do not show much interest or enthusiasm in what they do.
23. Gobbledegook - criticizing a speech or piece of writing for seeming like nonsense and being very technical or complicated.
24. Self-aggrandisement - someone that do certain things in order to make themselves more powerful, wealthy, or important.
25. Bon mot - a clever, witty remark. 

Some are obsolete but of course, I can still use them.

-          May strict, courteous, friendly, tamad, mabait. (ewan ko lang sa iba)
-          Mga working students sila.

3.)    The Dorm mates

-          Iba-iba makikita, makikilala, at maaamoy na dormmates. May Indonesian, African, Papua New Guinean, Visayan, Tagalog.
-          May makakalat, malilinis, friendly, kakaibang amoy, kakaibang culture, mataray, laging nakasimangot, pero lahat naman eh tao.
-          Yung iba, magiging close mo kasi classmate o kaya naman classmate/friend ng room mate mo. O kaya naman, naka-usap mo lang kasi.
-          Sila ang pwede mong hingian ng bagong movie or games sa laptop. Hiraman din sila ng damit at sapatos.

4.)    The Room Mates

-          With them is the most awkward relationship you’ll have at first. Sa kanila medyo mahirap mag-adjust on the first days of being with them. Pero sila ang mga taong makikilala mo ng lubusan. Malamang diba? Magkasama ba naman kayo sa iisang bubong at kwarto sa loob ng 5 months or  10 months or even 4 years ng stay mo sa university (at kung sa iisang dorm ka lang talaga)
-          Sila ang mga pinaka-magiging close mo na tao sa university. Yung close na, alam ang tunay na ugali ng isa’t-isa, maririnig ang maraming kwento sa araw-araw, mapapakinggan ang asaran at tampuhan.
-          Pwede ding foreigner ang maging room mate. Malas (???) kung kakaiba ang kulay ng room mate mo dahil 90%, kakaiba din ang amoy niya.
-          Ang locker nila ang pwedeng maging extension locker mo o kahit ng ibang room. Sila ang number one na hiraman at hingian ng iba’t-ibang kagamitan -  just name anything under the sun.
