Classroom Scenario


I've been blessed with passionate instructors this semester. I think I'm going to love hanging out in their classes (subjects: Planning 1 and Theory of Structures) more often. My friends do not seem to agree with me that much. I was completely surprised that they think all that talk and discussion is boring. Hah!

I'm so fired up I promise to get a grade not lower than 2 on those subjects!

The Wisdom Wall

Photo taken from julielenzerkirk.com

Described as 'a place where you can share the lessons you have learned in life,' the Wisdom Wall is a cool site that tries to collect as much advice as it can for everyone to learn from. I make sure to drop by every now and then in this blog to read about positive, refreshing and inspirational words from other people. Talk about everyday chunks of wisdom!

Smart Choice


I'm afraid that I'm not making really smart choices in this phase of my life. When will I cease running in search of hollow meaning?

Cirque




Event Overview

Cirque is an event brought to you by UP Adhere and QTV ch.11. It is the event that UP AdHere planned from the Events Inc. Top Party School competition and it would now be mounted on Oct 9 at One esplanade, SM mall of Asia complex, Pasay city.

Mission

Cirque has two main objectives which are simply to entertain and of course, to advocate. Cirque will aim to be a unique avenue of fun and entertainment for the youth of today. It is achieved to make the youth aware of the ill consequences brought about by vices and introduce a new perspective of "underground fun" which the youth sees as hip and cool that has been most often than not associated with vices. Its ultimate goal is to make the youth realize that socializing doesn't need booze and drugs to make it an extremely enjoyable thing to do.

Aside from the advocacy towards the youth, it would now also be an event that would benefit the victims of the typhoon Ondoy, seeking to help in some way to the youth that has experienced the tragedy.

The Wrath of Ketsana

Floodwater entering our house...

Floodwater at its highest...

After the floodwater had receded...

Yeah, I know this is nothing compared to the thousands of pictures you've seen about the damage tropical storm Ketsana brought in the Philippines. Nevertheless, I just wanted to show everybody what happened to the ground floor of our apartment when a month's worth of rain poured in just half a day. We were terrified because what happened really was very unusual.

My heart goes to all the fellow Filipinos out there who are still in need of so much help. The storm may be gone but the damage it made on everyone psychologically and emotionally might take a longer time to be healed.

Keep the Passion Burning!


Internet connection at home's super messed up but that's not the reason why I'm not been updating this blog for the last many weeks. Lol. I can just go to an Internet Cafe if I wanted to but I just won't. I guess I'm just just happy to be living' my life without that tendency to stalk on myself in cyberspace.

Anyways, I enjoyed our class today on History when Archt. Rivera-Lutap ate almost half of the session sharing personal experiences on the design and construction industry, about being a professor and a mom, and what and who she was back in her college days as a humble architecture student. She surprised most of us when she turned off her laptop and gave her lesson the 'unconventional' way.

I've never seen her so motherly and I really liked that she opened herself in front of the class the way she have never been before. I was moved about everything she said and her words really made me think about the path I'm taking as an architecture student. One thing I noticed about all our professors now in my junior year was how they fast-forward things when they talk about on-the-job trainings, thesis in our last year, work and finally taking the Board Exams.

I know there's still a whole bunch of things ahead and though they may seem scary, I choose to remain unfazed. Where I am now is all because of Him and no matter how hard things are I'm going to take it all in. I just gotta keep the passion burning...

*******
I heard Archt. Rivera-Lutap is going to China on September to present her proposal on some stuff. Though she may not be aware of this post and how inspired I was about her class, I just wanna say God Bless and Thanks!
