Ito ang unang pagkakataong maglalathala ako sa aking blog.

well, i just want to update you on the things that are happening in my life these past few days.

i am now a sophomore college student in the Ateneo and now taking my first three major subjects ( Politics and Governance, Introduction to Political Science, History of Political Theory). and it’s quite hard to adjust reading a minimum of 50 pages per day. Though it’s really tough, i’m sure i will make it.

also, i find it really enjoying to play Lawn Tennis (my PE for this semester). Yes, during the first day, it was really hard to project the ball to the direction where you would like it to go. But in the next meeting, it became almost an instinct (hehe).

i see that starting this semester, i must really focus on my acads. but still i am able to get along with my friends almost everyday. aside from my orgs inside the university, i still have this one precious org outside. Perhaps, i shall never leave Sto. Niño Choir. This is where i am applying the practicalities i am learning from my studies. it’s not to say that they are my "specimens" of my academe but just to test my ability to interact harmonously with, should i say, those people who have not given the chance of an Jesuit education. or better yet, to them i challenge what i am learning.

well anyway, my choirmates are precious individuals. I love them. I really love them. i am also admitting that, somehow, they have influenced me already, not in the negative aspects, but in becoming a more fruitful human. aside from my family, they are the ones who immediately attend to my needs in terms of moral uplifting and emotional comforting. I LOVE THEM…BASTA.

Well, that’s it for now.

Au revoir!
