Seedbook 84: Instant Concept

A short feature film of two people, a teenage girl and boy, talking about different countries and their language. This feature film would not have a story. It would be something like what Mr. Sheron Dayoc did for the Cinemalaya. It would just be merely shots of the two teenagers talking and that's about it. This short feature film would just show different editing styles, it would focus more on the editing styles rather than what the teenagers are talking about.

Seedbook 83: Instant Concept

An interactive game with a police officer who in the verge of being a bad guy. You must lead him back to becoming a good guy again. He would be facing "evils" of the world and you must help him fight all the temptations, so that he will not be part of the dark side.

Seedbook 82: Instant Concept

A documentary of the children that the Museo Pambata serves. The documentary will show their life inside and outside Museo and what they do if they are not in Museo. Museo Pambata is helping these kids by giving them free "study sessions" every Saturday. They go to there and a volunteer would be telling them stories ad they would do different activities. The documentary aims to show if they act the same or differently outside Museo.

Seedbook 81: Instant Concept

A documentary on the lives of the rich, bratty kids. Aside from being the bratty princesses that they are, the pictures will show how they can get away with almost anything. Even if they have attitude problems, their families still treat them as if they are the most precious thing in the whole world.

Seedbook 80: Instant Concept

An interactive game which will feature a shopper trying to find her way through hundreds of other
shoppers. Try to lead her way in buying the right gifts for her family and friends. You should also try her from impulse buying, if you are unsuccessful in stopping her, you would go back to the start of the level and repeat everything all over again.

Seedbook 79: Instant Concept

A photo essay on the other life of professors. They are not merely educators, they have a different life outside school, which would make their students shocked when they learn about their "other life". We only see our professors as those people who got to school and teach, but what do they after school hours? That is what this photo essay would try to answer.

Seedbook 78: Instant Concept

An animated short film showing friends coming from different backgrounds. It would show how they face their lives together and how their different backgrounds become a problem to one another. This would be targeted to audiences aged 6-9. Basically because this is the age where everyone starts to have a group of friends.

Seedbook 77: Insights

Staying in a Physics class is not that boring if you have a friend with you. I'd rather sit in my friend's physics class rather than stay in my PERSEF class where I barely know anyone. I get a chance to learn things that they do not normally teach to us in CLA. I learn about things I wouldn't normally encounter as a liberal arts student. Friends make your life easier when you are in a physics class, they make the class less boring and they help you understand the lessons more. I think I am starting to love physics... Nah!

Seedbook 76: Insights

Filipinos do not use underpass/overpass/footbridge or what ever you call them. They would rather risk their lives by crossing in a major highway rather than get tired of going up/down the stairs. Many people have already died because of not using these. Footbridges are very easy and convenient to use. You just have to go up and then walk for a couple of steps (unless you are crossing in EDSA) then go down and you're already there. Easy as eating pie, you get to your destinatin safely. But no, Filipinos like to play 'patintero' with the trucks, buses, cars, jeepneys in highways/roads.

Seedbook 74: Insights

Britney's song Womanizer is featured in the hit series Gossip Girl. My favorite "womanizer' Chuck Bass is featured in the short video with Britney's song playing in the background. It shows the best scenes from the series and some memorable quotes.  "LOVE TO HATE HIM, HATE TO LOVE HIM." "I am chuck Bass." :) The song has pegged him pretty good. I love Chuck Bass! Yey for him!

Seedbook 75: Insights

Sometimes you realize a person's worth only when something bad happens to him/her. There are some things that we take for granted when they are there, but when we lose it we would feel as if we are incomplete. Many people have alsready said this, but only few people understand the meaning of this. When I almost lost someone close to me, that is when i realized his real importance. I was never really close to him, but when my lolo got hospitalized that is when my real affection for him showed.

If you want to get the coolest gadget, then you should go and visit multiply. There are sellers in multiply that give really good deals. And if you compare their prices to the prices in mall, they're actually much cheaper. If you want to save money, you should buy in multiply. Just make sure that the seller can be trusted and read the feedback page to be safe.

Seedbook 72: Insights

There are some kids who can get away with almost anything and get what they want, and we call them brats. I was watching one of the episodes of Sweet 16 on MTV and I saw these American kids having the grandest parties ever. They want to like top other parties. One asked for Mercedes Benz for her sweet 16, one even closed the busiest street in Atlanta and one even rented the whole mall for his birthday. I was just wondering, where do get all that money. $96,000 for a Jaguar, I mean, come on! Why don't they just give it to charity or just like put it in their college funds. Well, it's their money not mine.I wish I had that much money. 

Seedbook 71: Insights

Law enforcers here in the Philippines also break rules like average citizens. Instead of hitting the breaks when they see the yellow light, they step up on the gas. They are traffic enforcers and they should follow the rules, they should set an example to people. I always see them warn drivers of public vehicles about not following traffic rules, but they too are not following. So, who would follow them when they themselves cannot even follow simple traffic rules?

Makati at night. Every time I pass by Quezon Bridge at night, I always look outside my window. I always look at Makati. The lights of the buildings already lit up, as if inviting us to take a look of the wonderful sight. Tall buildings with colorful lights, across a dark, deep river and houses that seem to bow down to the buildings of Makati makes you wonder why is it so much better to see things at night and it also makes you forget of the traffic you are battling through.

Students getting out of school. Laughing with their friends and trying to catch the first ride they can get. Students in white uniform, a dress, and white polo barong and black pants. The students looked happy even if they are (probably) tired from all the work in school. They seemed to enjoy school without being stressed out. When I looked at their school, nothing exciting except it was already decorated with Christmas lights and they even have a huge unfinished Christmas tree.

A sea of people is what welcomed me when I stepped out of the walls of DLSU. There were a lot of people waiting for their ride home. Like me, they are also waiting for an FX that would take them home. People who looked weary from days work and people who look as if they have been waiting for years. I saw people wearing uniforms, people in civilian and there were even grade schoolers/high schoolers. There a lot of people waiting for an FX but there were few of them. Everyone looked excited to go home, that's why they're running after the FX that just turned left from Vito Cruz.

I was walking with a friend of mine in Greenhills when something caught my eye. It was the tall guy standing beside a food stall. He's very tall, and there's something in him that made me think that I already saw him before. He was with his brothers and they were buying food. They were so tall that the vendor needed to look up in order to see them. They were in a fruit shake stand ordering something. What's striking about it is that he's a basketball player from DLSU. Guess who! :) Sharing some brotherly love e. :)

I am not that fond of going to very far places if I'm alone, unless my friends are with me. The museum was not that big. I was expecting to see a big building with roman columns and white newly painted walls. The building was smaller than what I have expected it to be. What really caught my attention are the sculpture around it. It was not that grand but it's unique and it catches your attention when you first see the building. It was made of steel and it was as if the sculpture was trying to convey a person's emotions. It didn't have a face, it was not a person, more of an object sculpted to make it convey a story.

I love when I see a huge group of friends. I makes me envy them. Not that I don't have any friends, it's just that when you see other people having fun, it seems as if they are influencing with good vibes. I saw this group of friends in a mall. They were about ten in the group. Sitting inside a fast food, busy chatting with one another and the only guy in their group as busy strumming his guitar. They were nursing students from UP. What's striking about them is that they don't seem stressed. I have this notion that if you're from UP, you should look stressed and weird but they don't. (I have a weird belief) :P

Seedbook 64: Striking image

Three girls were standing in front of me. All of them wearing a uniform. They were high school girls standing in front of me inside a fast food chain. They were laughing, talking about different things. They were much taller than me, but not that tall that I'll mistake them for basketball varsity players. I just miss the feeling of hanging out with your high school friends, it's easier when you share your burden to people whom you trust and have fun with.

Seedbook 63: Today's News

Manila, Philippines - What would you do if you have a two-hour class then the professor suddenly tells you that the class is over even if only thirty minutes of the class was consumed? You would be surprised right? And you would also be pissed because you spent more time waiting for your prof rather than him discussing but at the same time you would also be happy because you can hang out with your friends and do nothing. That is what the whole class of PERSEF2 C31 felt, especially the second year communication arts student Angela Valera. She exclaims, "I spent more time waiting for my prof than the actual class. I went to the classroom early so that I will not have to take the stairs going up but then he just cut the class." It is not normal for profs to just cut a class like taht. "Probably he has reasons why he did that. I just don't know why he didin't just tell us a week before so that we wouldn't have to go to the classroom and waste time walking very far.", cries Angela.

Seedbook 62: Today's News

Manila, Philippines - maraming ang naipit sa daan dahil biglaang pagbuhos ng malakas na ulan. Marami ang na-stuck sa traffic dahil maraming parte ng Kamaynilaan ang lubog sa baha. May mga nagrereklamo rin dahil sa walang traffic enforcer na makita sa mga daan. Isa sa mga nagrereklamo ay si Angela Valera, isang estudyante ng Pamantasan ng De La Salle. ayon sa kanya sobra ang traffic sa Taft, pagkatapos ay sinabayan pa ito ng mga pasaway na mamayan an hindi marunong sumunod sa batas trapiko. "Sa tingin ko dapat may mga traffic enforcer talaga sa mga daan, pero kung minsan kasi useless din sila. Pasaway rin sila kagaya nung ibang tao. Kaya sobrang nakakainis talaga kapag traffic na, tapos may mga tao pang hindi marunong sumunod ng traffic rules. Talagang mag-iinit ulo mo!", naiinis na sinabi ni Angela.

Manila, Philippines - natutunan ng isang estudyanteng babae na gumawa ng website sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng HTML codes. Ayon kay Angela Valera, marunong na talaga siyang gumawa ng website simula pa nung high school pero nakalimutan na rin niya eto dahil medyo matagal-tagal na rin daw nung huli siyang gumawa ng HTML website. "Nakakamiss rin gumawa ng HTML website. Feeling ko ang galing ko, kahit na sobrang basic lang nun", natatawa niyang sinabi.

Manila, Philippines - isang nakakabagabag na video ang napanood ng isang kaawa-awang babae sa multiply. Ang naturang video ay naglalaman ng isang lalaking sumasayaw na parang may sira sa ulo. Hindi mo aakalaing ang lalaking nagsasayaw ay kaeskwela rin ng babae. Anang babae, "Nagulat talaga ako nung nakita ko yung video, kasi mukha naman siyang (lalaki) matino. Hindi ko talaga inisip na gagawin niya yun. Oo personal yung video na yun, pero kasalanan rin naman nung nagpost kasi ginawa niyang for everyone yung video."

Manila, Philippines - isa lamang sa pitong estudyante ng Pamantasan ng De La Salle si Angela Valera na nagcommnuty service sa Museo Pambata. Ang nasabi ring estudyante ang namuno sa pag-oorganisa ng community service. Aniya, "Para sa TREDTWO class namin yung community service. Kaya nung una parang di namin gaanong sineryoso, pero nung nandoon na kami, kinareer na namin!" natatawa niyang sinabi. Idinagnag pa niya na isang napakagandang experience ang community service na kanilang ginawa. "Iba kasi yung feeling na nakikita mo yung mga bata na masaya. Yung kahit na mga simpleng bagay napapasaya sila, sa iba mababaw yun pero para dun sa mga bata sobrang laking bagay na nun.", kanyang sinabi. Naiisip rin niyang mag-volunteer ulit sa Museo Pambata ngayong darating na pasko.

Manila, Philippines - One of the fifteen students who took the MASSCOM midterm exam found it easier to answer the test than before. The student, named Angela Valera, said that compared to last time she took the exam, she dound it easier to answer the test now because she already had an idea on the exam is. She said, "Mas madali ngayon, kasi yung exam na tinake ko last term, yun ulit yung sinagutan namin ngayong term. Kahit papaano mas confident ako sa mga sagot ko, kesa noon na nangangapa talaga ako sa exams."

Hopefully, she said, that all of them will pass the said exam to reach their goal of a grade of 2.5. "I am keeping my fingers crossed.", she exclaimed.

Manila, Philippines - Isang estudyanteng babae ang sobrang natuwa sa isang game show. Hindi isang basta-bastang game show ang kanyang napanuod ng live, ito ay isang game show na hinost ng kanyang mga kaibigan. Siya ay si Angela Valera isang 2nd year Communication Arts student ng De La Salle University-Manila. Amin siyang kinapanayam kung ano ang masasabi niya sa naturang game show; tinanong namin siya kung ang concepto ng naturang game show magki-clik sa mga tao. Ayon sa kanya, "Masaya yung game show, nakakatuwa. Pero kung minsan may mga pagkakamali sila, may mga dead air at kung minsan ay medyo magulo yung host. Pero ok na rin, tutal simulation lang naman yun."

Tinanong ko rin siya kung bakit hindi siya sumali sa game show. "Hindi ako mahilig sa mga ganyan, kasi ayaw ko ng natatalo. Masyado akong nahuhurt pag natatalo ko. LOSER ako." Kanyang natatawang sinabi.

To my Future Boyfriend

To my future boyfriend:      

         I have been looking for you for the longest time. I have met so many guys before you, but none of them seemed to fit my description of a "perfect/ideal" boyfriend. Many of them fell short of my expectations and none of them have seen me as special as the way you see. One can say that I am expecting a lot from guys but seriously, I'm not. I am just looking for someone who I can introduce to my family and relatives . Someone who would accept me as a whole; someone who would take me even if I act/talk stupidly, someone who would laugh with me even at the silliest things, someone who would see through me, someone who would still love me even if I have done something wrong and someone who would support me in everything I want and in everything I do.

       Right now, I can finally say that I have found "the one". I am happy that you have seen through me and have still loved me even for my imperfections. After the long wait, finally, my prince charming already has come. He may not be riding a white horse, he may not have a castle in a far away land, I am still happy to have you. No words can explain what I feel. Thank you for accepting me, thank you for loving me as a whole. Thank you and I love you!

Seedbook 42: Gela, Gela Let Down Your Long Hair

I can compare my day with Rapunzel. Like Rapunzel, I was waiting for something to happen. I was so used to my life and I wanted something new. My friend was actually the one who told me that that day can be compared to Rapunzel's story because I was talking about something for the whole day. 

Seedbook 41: The Lost Gela

I felt like as if I was the lost sheep in the parable of the Lost Sheep. I was lost in roomfull of COS people. I only know a few of them. I have gone astray from my "sheperds", which are my friends. 

Seedbook 40: Gela Pinya

Just like Pina, I was complaining a lot that day. I was complaining a lot of things; that the computer didn't have net, that I was tired and other irrelevant things. I also think that need a lot of eyes just like the pinya, because sometimes I am having a hard time looking for things.

Seedbook 39: Gela Tamad Part II

I did not do anything for this day. I just stayed in front of the computer for quite a long time. Surfing the net, eating, watching television and sleeping. That was about it. That was my "routine" for that day. I was done doing my homeworks and other school-related stuff, so I did the best thing, just chilled. 

Seedbook 38: Gela and The beanstalk

One afternoon I went to my tita and interviewed her about several things on the issue about the economic crisis that has been happening this past few months. Like Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk, I "stole" some information about the insurance company where my aunt was working. hehe

Seedbook 37: Gela Tamad

It was Friday morning and I didn't want to go to school. I was thinking of just staying in bed. Like Juan Tamad I just want to stay there and wait for things to happen. But as a responsible student I went to class but did nothing but read different fan fix. After I have finished everything I have to do in school, i went home and did nothing.

Seedbook 36: The Prodigal Friend

I thought that I was part of the bible story about the Prodigal Son. actually, not prodigal son but prodigal friend. I was thinking of going to another friend's class, I asked her if I can sit-in in their class, but I ended up not in their class but in my barkada's statlit class. It was not really a good idea to leave my other friends behind. I thought that they're mad at me for "desserting" them, but they welcomed me wholeheartedly.

        In the light of the recent unprecedented stock market volatility, and its impact on the share prices of every company, many of the people are now thinking twice if they are going to invest their money in insurance to secure their future. Many are afraid that what happened to AIG and Philam Life will happen to other insurance companies. It made people think that if it happened to AIG, then it would also happen to other much smaller companies. In these difficult circumstances, some insurance companies’ strengths are highlighted.

           

I got a chance interview my auntie, Myrna Reyes, who works for one of the insurance companies here in the Philippines. It was a short but knowledgeable interview. She was kind enough to explain to me things that I did not understand and never heard of.

           

I first asked her if the number of people buying insurance lessened. She told me that compared to the figures before, the people were know hesitant if they should be buying insurance with the market’s current situation. Although the numbers have dropped, but not enormously, their agents are still able to ‘sell’.

 

Mrs. Reyes also told me that if there are people who are uncertain in buying insurance policies, there are also risk-takers. They buy insurance at a very low rate so that when the market stabilizes then the interest rates will also go up. She explained to me that most insurance today are now tied-in with interests, they are invested in other companies.

 

Instead of selling the usual insurance policies, they are selling “traditional life insurance”. With the traditional life insurance, “the policy holders are more guaranteed and protected. They are guaranteed to get a certain amount in the future.” She said that “With the current market, it is much safer to ‘invest’ your money in insurance, rather than to ‘invest’ your money in banks. In banks you are not guaranteed of anything. If you pull out your investments you do not gain anything, and sometimes you even lose.”

           

Did the economic crisis directly affected the company you are working for”, I asked her. She said that in some ways the economic crisis in the United States have affected their company but not directly. She told me that their company, in spite of the current market situation, still has an “AAA” rating (Standard & Poors Agency standards), they are one of the only two in the world to hold that rating.

 

My auntie said that, “Our company remains conservatively reserved, has a high quality balance sheet and strong leading franchises around the world.” She also said that, “Since quarter end, equity markets have deteriorated further which will have an unfavorable impact on the company’s capital ratios unless these markets recover. The company continues to manage its regulatory capital, however, it has no plans to issue common equity.” She told me that their company has reduced its security lending activities in light of heightened market uncertainty.

           

            I also asked her if people are now converting their insurance plans to cash. She answered that there are few people who are already thinking of converting their insurance plans into cash. But she said that they assure them that their company is “fully self-funded”.

 

She said that since their company is under the insurance commission, their policy holders are rest assured that whatever happens they will get something because their the company “businesses generate enough cash flow to sustain operations without being dependent on the commercial paper markets or other short-term funding arrangements.” She also emphasized that since they under the insurance commission, the rules are much stricter than those companies who are not under the commission.

Almost all of them were part of the creme section or the second section, while the poor me just belonged to an average section. My mom favored my cousins, which is her pamangkins, more and always compared me with them, she would always tell that I should do well in my studies so that I'll be like this cousin of mine.

Seedbook 35: The Stalker Returns

And so I followed Aling Toyang. She carried a lot of things, seems like she came from the market. I was actually thinking of helping her but I stopped myself because someone came up to her, her daughter-in-law. Then I heard that they came form Divisoria, that explains all the plastic bags within the plastic bags she was carrying. She's a frail, old woman. Aling Toyang must be te same age as my Lola Linda, but she still looked peaceful. Unlike other old women, her face is serene, she probably doesn't have as much problem as other women have. As I followed the two women, I got to know more about their lives. Unknowingly, I just found myself riding the jeep where they were. The jeep then moves and after a few minutes I heard them talking about their relative. They'll give the things they have to their relative. And then they got off the jeep, so I knew they were to going to that relative of theirs.

Seedbook 34: The Stalker Returns

Nilo was there standing alone in front of the building. While looking at him, I thought I saw my brother in him. He's a not-so-tall kid, probably around 12-14. Nilo is a student who just came from school and it seems that he was waiting for someone. He's waiting for his mom, as he was told earlier that they wouldgo home together. He needs to fetch his mom because his mom is carrying a lot of things and she needs some help.

While he wiated, I also waited. And then finally, I saw a smile draw across his face. I am right. He was waiting for his mom. Then together they looked for a ride home.

Seedbook 33: The Stalker Returns

I thought she was a student from afar. Mina looked like one, I thought I just saw her come out a certain school. She looked like a normal non-working girl. After searching for a company that would hire her, Mina was finally hired by a company. She looked so stressed but is contented that finally she can go home and tell her parents the good news. It looks like she's already going home, to tell her family she already got work and to rest her tired muscles from walking all day long trying to find work.

Seedbook 32: The Stalker Returns

A woman in uniform on a Sunday, interesting. Lisa just came out HBC. She assists the customers all day and she has to deal with different kinds of people all day long. Her work tests her patience. She works in HBC 7 days a week, 8 hours a day and that is all for her kids. And another day has passed in her boring, monotonous life. Lisa looks forward to going home and seeing her kids, the single that she has been for 5 years, she's already used to taking care of her children even if it is hard. She rode a tricycle going home. And that was the last thing I remembered of her.

Seedbook 31: The Stalker Returns

I went to Museo Pambata because we'll be having our orientation about our community service. Then I saw this woman sitting in one of the beside a tree. She was busy sitting there, minding her own business when I stalked her.

When I got to Museo she was the first person I saw. She was texting someone. Probably waiting for someone, probably her lover. She was dressed simply. No accessories, nothing fancy. She was sitting there for a while and did not moved to a different place or anything. I got bored watching her from afar.

I know I wouldn't get any information anymore. So I just left her. When we went out of Museo she wasn't on her spot. Looks like she got tired of waiting for that person.

Seedbook 30: The Stalker Returns

He sat there alone, I heard he's going somewhere in Quezon City. He told the driver he would go down in EDSA but the driver told him that he would not use that route so instead, he said he'll just go down in Hi-Tops (Supposedly Hi-Top, this made me laugh but I stopped myself not wanting to get the "look").

He rode in front of PWU, so this gave me an idea that he is a professor there, plus the fact that he has an ID and the way he dressed already gave me a clue about his profession. So he's there in the fx because he was going somewhere, probably he's going to meet someone, a colleague of some sort.

They will have a conversation about their students. On how much their students give them headaches and that they'd rather resign than to die than have a heart attack will teaching. Then they would question themselves why did they even choose that profession, why didn't they just chose a different profession. In the end they would realize that that is what they really want. They'd laugh about there "foolishness" and realize it's time to go home.

Seedbook 29: The Stalker Returns

I was going down the LRT Blumentritt station. I was scanning the see of faces, looking for an interesting person to stalk. Then I found an interesting prospect. Let's call him Nonoy. He is there because he is waiting for a jeepney ride home. He just came from a friend's house, or should I dare say, girlfriend. He took her girlfriend home, to assure himself that his girlfriend is not going anywhere and she's not going to meet any guy. He's the jealous type of boyfriend, a possessive one. But his girlfriend is fine with it, she's also the same, she feels really special when Nonoy brings her home.

Nonoy is the type of high school stud who goes to school without bringing anything. When I saw/followed him, he didn't have anything. As in anything, and to think that he was wearing a uniform. He just brought himself, his wallet and his phone to school. He is one the 'parasites' in school (he just borrows/asks for everything).

He is there, like I have said earlier because he was waiting for a jeepney ride home. He plans to go home and talk to his girlfriend for hours on the phone. And I was right, right about the going home part. We rode the same jeepney; he went off the jeep earlier than I am, so I saw where he was going.

Is this how Ateneans have fun?

I have an Atenean friend but she doesn't have fetish for la salle, i mean we just laugh about the rivalry. it's not much of a big deal for us. 
BUT THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER IMAGINED THAT OTHER ATENEANS WOULD DO. i am not generalizing. Grabe! wala ako masabi. tss. i have lost my respect for ateneo, but i still love melissa no matter what. hahaha sorry awin tinatamad na akong iedit kaya kinopya ko na ng buo.

copied as is from Awin...

Okay. I've seen these pics from some of my friends and I was just so fucking pissed about this.
No, I'm not pissed with the school, but I'm pissed of the gesture or action they have done.
See for yourself.

So this is how you celebrate victory? Burn the opponents names? Is that respect? A bonfire of DLSU players' names! Wohooo! FUN! Looks so good! Feels good! Why not burn them alive na lang kaya di ba?

If ever this is true and I think IT IS TRUE, then you guys (who patronized this act and those who are behind this) should be ASHAMED of yourselves and better do something about this.

Thank god I'm a Lasallian... ANIMO LA SALLE!
*PS.. I didn't even mention the name of your school cause I give respect...
Lasallians, go ahead and react to this. It's your right. This is just too much bullshit.

Seedbook 21: Detour

.............................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................



Earlier, I rode a car coming from some place. It's really a new experience (hahaha, natawa ako dito), but I was used to commuting coming from there. But it was different today. The feeling was not really new, it was just the feeling of being safe. I felt safe while going home, unlike before where I would be praying and asking God to protect me from harm and also to not encounter the bad guys, i.e, snatcher, hold-up-er, etc. The feeling of homey.

We took the not-so-familiar path. Even if we always take that road, I still had a hard time memorizing the place. I'm really good at directions but this is one of the places that I am really having a hard time familiarizing. So for me, everytime we go there, this path is "new".

I had this weird feeling as we were taking the not-so-unfamiliar path. But like as have said earlier, the feeling of security was overcoming me at that time.

And I just lost my train of thought...

Seedbook 20: Claire's Room

Hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang pumasok sa isip ko at pinasok ko ang kanilang kwarto. Nagtataka ako sa sarili ko, ano bang nakita kong interesting sa kanya at pumasok ako sa kanyang kwarto. Siguro dahil may kakaiba sa kanya.

Kaka-iba. Hmm. Di ko masasabing simple siya, nakaputing t-shirt, nakapantalon tas may nailpolish siyang blue sa kamay at green naman sa paa. Ateneo, La Salle. hahaha. May kasama siyang lalaking foreigner, mukhang matanda na nga. Nahirapan kaming nalaman kung anu ba siya, ahhh, kung babae o lalaki. Pero mukha kasi siyang lalaki na naglagay ng colorete sa mukha. Nahalata kong kaka-iba siya habang matagal ko siyang pinaamasdan.

Nung nakapasok na ako sa kwarto niya/nila sumalubong sa akin ang isang magandang kwarto. May puti itong pintura, malaking kama, may terrace, may banyo. Basta malaki ito at maganda. Yung kama niya malaki at makapal yung cushion, puti yung mga bedsheet. May malalaki at fluffy na unan.

Yung cabinet niya/nila, built-in. Tapos may sarili pa silang banyo sa kwarto. Merong bedside table, tas nakapatong dun yung lamp, may dalawa ring picture frame dun, di ko na inalam kung sino yung mga yun. Naka-carpet pa yung kwarto nila, kulay mocha. Tas sa kabilang side nung wall, sa ibaba nung kama, may long table. Nakapatong dun yung TV tas may mirror sa taas. Ano pa ba. Meron din silang personal ref.

Hindi naman kasi talaga sila nakatira sa bahay, bahay. Nakatira sila sa condo. Kaya maganda yung view ng terrace nila. Tas bigla kong narealize na kailangan ko nang umalis, paparating na sila. Paglabas ko ng pinto saktong bumukas yung elevator, nakita ko silang bumaba. Buti na lang nakalabas na ako sa kwarto nila, kung hindi malalagot ako.

Seedbook 19: Nena's Room

I saw her walking in the mall with her family. She's probably 10-12 years old. She's a obedient child, when her parents told her to hold her little sister, she followed them.  I find her really her simple and sweet. She's "mahinhin".

I can see her room. Her whole room is colored light pink and full of stuffed toys. She sleeps in a bunk bed full of teddy bears and dolls. She has a built-in cabinet full of cute clothes. In her room, there's a little study table. On top of that table are crayons, papers and notebooks. She has a little stool in front of her table.

Her bed is colored, what else, pink. Her pillows are fluffy and are colored white. Nena's room is not really that neat, there are things scattered on the floor.

The windows on her room are not that big, the curtains are sheer.

Reaction to the reaction

I chose my first seedbook because I think it is the one that really followed "the rules". My other following blogs were sort of lame, I think, and it was the blog that I think was really insightful. I think it was really the one that followed all the instructions, it was also probably the one that I took time to write, not that I didn't give enough time in writing the others but for me, it is like the most special. Because it is the first one, because I think it is the best.

"Hi Gela. This entry has associated a lot of sound and smell, and all are mostly in the Taft area. For a project or a thesis, you can revolve around the Taft aspect. Madaming possible topics kung mapag-uusapan ang Taft. Isa na ay ang culture sa Taft, another is the different schools within the area. It could either be a documentary or any medium of your choice. Thanks. :)"

That is what Yang wrote. At frist I thought that I would get a bad comment because I didn't think that my blog was good enough. Honestly, I was kind of shocked when I read her comment. It was good to see that someone found my blog entry to be err, useful. I can say that I was happy with her comment and I can also say that I am shocked, mixed emotions. She wrote that I can use it for a documentary, I was also thinking of the same thing. A documentary that shows the "life around Taft" is making me excited.


Seedbook 18: Sa kwarto ni Dodoy

Ayun siya, naka-upo. Di ko alam kung bakit siya yung ini-stalk ko. Ang random ko lang kasi kung pumili, kung sino sa tingin ko yung interesting. Dahil naka-upo lang siya, alam ko mas madali ko siyang mas-stalk.

Di siya gaanong nagsasalita, hindi kagaya nung mga kaama niya na parating may side comments sa mga naririnig. Naka-t-shirt siya, di gaanong matanda di rin naman gaanong bata. Siguro fresh graduate siya, kasi mukha siyang nagtatrabaho pero di pa naman ganun katanda yung itsura niya. Medyo matangkad (ata) siya, di ako sigurado. hehehe

Nakita ko yung kwarto niya, sa pagtingin lamang sa kanya. Nakatira siya kasama ng kanyang nanay. Sa isang maliit na bahay na may tatlong maliliit na kwarto. Yung kwarto niya maliit lang. Walang pinto, kurtina lamang ang naghahati sa kwarto niya at sa kusina nila. Oo, yung kwarto niya malapit, actually katabi na nga kusina yung kwarto niya e. Kulay cream yung kwaryo niya. Mukhang matagal na yung pintura, naninilaw na rin kasi.

May isa siyang kabinet, yung kabinet na kahoy. Imaginin niyo na lang yung kabinet nung unang panahon, yung may salamin sa bukasan nito, yung malaking salamin. Basta yung kahoy, yung pwede mo pang magalaw. Katabi nun may lamesa, hindi siya parang study table e. Kasi halatang lamesa lang yun galing sa kusina tas nilagay sa kwarto niya, patungan siguro. Kung anu-ano yung mga nakapatong dun. Makalat, sobra!

May mga damit na nakapatong sa kama, halatang lalaki yung natutulog. Yung bedsheet niya kulay white, marumi na nga e. Siguro di niya pinalalabhan yun. May tatlo siyang unan, yung unan na naflat na dahil sa sobrang luma, yung punda niya naninilaw na.

May mga picture dun sa sa pinto ng kabinet niya, may picture ng babae, siguro yun yung girlfriend niya. Meron ding ibang picture, picture nung mga barkada niya, pero wala siyang picture ng pamilya niya.

Yung kama niya nakatabi sa bintana, yung ulunan yung nasa tabi ng bintana. Jalousy yung bintana niya, wala na nga yung ibang salamin e. May manipis na kurtina, yung flowery na see-through, yung parang binurda, kulay blue.

Sa likod nung pinto niya marami nakasabit, mga bag, pantalon tas damit. Para ngang nakakadiri pag tinignan mo e. (ang sama ko! pero totoo na naman kasi e)

Pagkatapos nun, lumabas na ako sa kwarto niya. Bigla kong na-realize na hindi pala ako umalis sa kinauupuan ko. Nandun pa rin ako, sinalamin lang niya yung kwarto niya. Di ko man nakita ng personal yung niya, pero dahil sa mga "katangian" niya para ko na rin nakita yung kwarto niya.

Seedbook 17: Sa Loob ng Kwarto Niya

Si Pepito ay nakita kong mag-isa, kaya siya ang sinundan ko. Mahahalata mo sa kanyang mga mata ang pagod, marahil ay dahil na rin sa maghapong pagtatrabaho. Siya ay kayumanggi, medyo mataba, ang kanyang buhok ay parang sa buhok ni Mike Enriquez at may sugat siya sa braso.

Dahil sila ay nakatira sa isang apartment, ang buong apartment ay ang kanilang kwarto. Maliit lamang ito. Pagpasok mo dito ay kita mo na lahat; kusina, sala pati na rin ang kanilang kama. May malaki silang kabinet na katabi ng kama nilang buong mag-anak. Sa paanan ng kanilang kama ay maliit na lamesa na nakalagay ang kung anu-ano. Walang bintana sa tabi ng palibot ng kanilang kama. May mga kartong nakakalat sa malapit sa kanilang kama. Gumagamit sila ng kulambo kapag natutulog.

Ang pader ng kanyang "kwarto" ay kulay puti, ito nagbabakbak na at kumukupas na rin. Makikita rin ang ilang mga marka rito na unti-unting kinukupas ng panahon. Nakasabit sa pader ang ilang diploma at medalya ng kanyang mga anak.

Ang kanilang hinhigaan ay queen-size na kama na may lumang kutson. Ang kanilang kobre kama ay isang plain green na tela. Mayroong anim na unan sa may kama, na kung iyong titignan ay "na-flat" na dahil sa tagal na rin na panahon ng paggamit dito.

Ang kanilang kwarto ay ang kanilang buong bahay na.

She was sitting in front of me. I don't know her name all I know is she is quite obnoxious. She was quite a big-boned girl with a round chubby face, her hair not too short and she was wearing sunglasses which fitted her perfectly. With the way she talks, it seems like she's bragging about her life. Probably she wants me to know that she can speak Italian and that she will be leaving for Italy this year. She's Ederlyn.

I followed her with my gaze. I tried to stalk her as much as I can. I tried to get as much info as I can. The first time I saw her, I thought she was already working and she was gonna leave the country to work in another country. I listened to their conversation(she was with someone).

And suddenly I was transported to her room.

Her bedroom walls are painted light pink. Her double sized bed is beside a window. Flowery, that's one word that can best describe her sheets. She has three large not so fluffy pillows.

She has a bedside table with books, school books. Her clothes are everywhere, hanged in a chair, in the her bedroom door, everywhere. Her cabinet is not really that big, she's trying to fit in everything her mom sends her from Italy. It's not really fixed in an OC kind of way.

She has a dresser with a large mirror, and there lies her lotion/s, perfume/s, facial products and other girl stuffs. In her mirror, she stuck a couple photos, one picture of her family, one picture of her with her friends, another picture of herself and other pictures. All her footwear are beside the dresser.

She has a radio, where she can listen to her favorite radio station every night.

Her room is not that big but also not too cramped, just exact.

Seedbook 15: Kilalalin si Selya Dimatulac

Nakita ko siyang nakatayo sa harap ng freezer sa may Mini stop. Nung una di ko siya pinapansin. Wala akong pakialam sa kanya at sa kanyang magugulong anak na kinukulit siyang bilhan sila ng ice cream. Siya si Selya Dimatulac.

Isa siyang babaeng di katangakaran na may tatlong anak. Hindi siya gaanong maputi at hindi rin naman maitim. Mukhang pagod, marahil ay dahil na rin sa pagod sa pagtatrabaho pati na rin sa pag-aalaga sa anak.Medyo pasigaw at mabilis siyang magsalita. Ngunit makikita mong isa siyang mabait na ina.

Ang kanyang kwarto ay maliit dahil nakatira lamang sila sa isang apartment. Ang mga pader/dingding nito ay may pinturang kulay puti at ito ay nagbabakbak na. Ang kanyang kama ay double ang size (hindi double deck!). Mayroon itong makukulay na kobre kama kulay asul at puti na may design na bulaklak. (para masunod sa "theme" ng kanyang kwarto) Meron siyang lumang dresser na kung saan ang salamin nito ay kinupas na sa tagal nito. Mayroon din siyang rack ng Orocan sa kwarto, dito nakalagay ang iba niyang gamit. Mayroon din siyang antigong kabinet, na halos anayin na sa kalumaan.

Medyo makalat din ang kanyang kwarto. Di rin ito gaanong maliwanag, ang ginagamit kasi niya ay incendescent light bulb. Sa taas ng kanyang pintuan ay may nakasabit na krus at may kalendaryo siya na galing o binili sa simbahan.

Ang kanyang bintana ay ay jalousy (tama ba spelling?) at may dalawang set ng bintana sa kanyang kwarto. Ang kanyang kurtina ay isang manipas na tela na may bulabulaklak. Kulay peach ito at medyo marumi na dahil na rin sa katagalan ng hindi pagpapalit. Sa bintana ay makikita ang kaunting alikabok.

Yan ang kwarto ni Selya, Selya Dimatulac.

Seedbook 14: Fake Products Seized

This is for my concept class. This is based on a real news and we have to rewrite this as if we were part of the story or as if we have seen the incident. My role here is entirely fictitious. :)

I was there standing in the middle of the mall. I am just there, standing still, observing the people around me. At first I wasn't aware of what was happening, and then I realized that there was raid at the mall, err shopping center, the famous 168 mall in Divisoria.

The National Bureau of Investigation seized fake Lacoste products worth P89 million when it raided stalls in 168. Really? P89 million? Can you imagine how much Lacoste loses. They (NBI) seized twenty plus thousand pieces of assorted counterfeit products, including T-shirts and blouses, bearing the Lacoste trademark.

Unfortunately for me, I will not buy the handbag I was eyeing since last month, it's a Lacoste. I was really sad, but I still went inside to ask my suki and she told me that next week they'll have new stocks coming from China. Can't wait for next week! I'm gonna have my dream bag!

Seedbook 13: Moderate to Heavy

This is for my concept class. This is based on a real news and we have to rewrite this as if we were part of the story or as if we have seen the incident. My role here is entirely fictitious. :)

Oh my gawd naman the traffic here in the Metro. Kasi I was like in my work that time and then it started to make ulan and it was super lakas. I didn't have payong pa naman and I was like wearing skirt and heels. I really don't know how I will get home kasi I didn't bring my car, 'cause it's coding, so ayun, I have to commute.

When I went out of the office, I wasn't shocked to see that the road was baha. And the baha looks so icky talaga. I didn't want to make lusong in the baha so I just rode a pedicab and I paid 20 pesos. So sayang talaga the 20 pesos. Good thing I saw an fx agad. But gosh! I took me like 100 years to get home. It was so traffic in EDSA, I thought that I will sleep in the fx na, because it's really so tagal you know.

The government should really do something about the baha. It's such a hassle. tsk.

Seedbook 12: One Weird Requirement

This is for my concept class. This is based on a real news and we have to rewrite this as if we were part of the story or as if we have seen the incident. My role here is entirely fictitious. :)

Woah! I can't believe it, now, even the bicycle riders should wear helmets. I can't believe it! I do not know why the MMDA should require us riders of bicycle wear helmets. MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando ordered MMDA traffic aides to flag down bicycle riders who do not wear helmets.

Not all bicycles are that fast, that they need to require helmets. And how can bicycle riders not use the main road when there is no allotted lane for us bicycle riders. This is a one weird requirement.

Seedbook 11: Bakit Ngayon Pa Ako Nastranded?

This is for my concept class. This is based on a real news and we have to rewrite this as if we were part of the story or as if we have seen the incident. My role here is entirely fictitious. :)

Paano na ko makaka-uwi nito sa amin? Dahil sa bagyong Nina, nastranded tuloy ako dito sa Pilar, Sorsogon. Hai. Di lang naman ako nastranded dito e, may 214 akong kasamang nastranded. Sa pagkaka-alam ko marami rin nastranded sa iba pang parte ng Bicol e, mga 1500.

Hindi ko alam kung maiinis ako o matutuwa sa nangyayari. Nakaka-inis dahil may kasal pa akong kailangang daluhan sa Martes. Di ko alam kung kelan ako makaka-uwi. Sigurado ako magagalit sa akin bestfriend ko, siya yung ikakasal. Paano ba naman ako yung bridesmaid niya tas di ako makakarating, baka magalit na yun sa akin forever no! Baka magalit rin sa akin si ama at ina. Nangako kasi ako sa kanila na uuwi ako dahil ilang buwan na rin akong di nakaka-uwi sa amin, tas eto nastranded ako.

Pero naiisip ko, mas okay na yung mastranded ako dito sa pier, kesa naman may mangyari pang masama sa akin. Naaalala niyo yung MV Princess of the Stars? Nakakatakot yung nangyari dun no? Baka mangyari pa yun pag umalis yung barko sa pier.

Kaya hayaan mo na, babawi na lang ako siguro kay bestfriend, pati na rin kina tatay at nanay. Mas okay pa rin na mastranded ako dito sa pier, mas okay na mastranded KAMI dito kesa naman may mangyaring masama.

Ipagdadasal ko na lang na bumuti na yung panahon. Kasi kahit papaano may nakikita pa akong pag-asa na makakauwi ako on time para sa kasal ni bestfriend. hehehe

Seedbook 10: Village chief, another shot dead in Masbate town

This is for my concept class. This is based on a real news and we have to rewrite this as if we were part of the story or as if we have seen the incident. My role here is entirely fictitious. :)

Last Friday night, I was inside our kubo, sitting beside the window when I saw armed men. I was just waiting to fall asleep at that time and I thought of sitting there to feel the fresh air. At first I thought that what I saw were military officers but then I realized that they were not wearing uniforms. They are New People's Army members, I thought and immediately I closed my window and turned off all the lights.

After a few minutes I heard gun shots, I said my prayers and asked God to protect me and my family. I thought it was the end of my life here on earth. And then the shooting stopped for a couple of minutes, then the members of NPA were firing again.

The next morning, the civil military operations officer of the 901st Infantry Battalion was there. Mang Wennifredo (Baybay), he is our village cheif, was the one of the victims killed last night, another civilian was also killed. The slain civilian is still unknown, he is not my neighbor and he doesn't live in our barangay so nobody knows him.

I hope the military would do their best in order to get the suspects behind bars. It's sad that one of the good people here in our barangay has to die. I also feel sorry to the civilian who was slain.

Seedbook 9: Thy Prices Shall Fall

This is such a funny post. Actually weird din. hahaha this is an entry for my concept class. my "role" here is fictitious...................................................................................................

Since my global price have plunged dramatically in reaction to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, Merill Lynch and the American International Organization, more and more oil companies here in the Philippines are having price rollbacks.

After spending six months above $100, my price slumped earlier in the week because of concerns that the financial turmoil on Wall Street would slow economic growth and hurt the demand for me.

Because of high fuel and commodity prices, wider economic problems and the recent financial disasters reduced the demand for me. From my price of $140+ per barrel last July, my price now is just $97.88 a barrel.

 
The three big oil companies here in the Philippines will have a P1 roll back to their prices of me, while the smaller oil players will lessen my price by 50 centavos again. Isn't that a great news?

Seedbook 8: Bad Guys are Recruiting Minors

The MILF and NPA are recruiting minors into their minors. As a leader of this country, I will personally bring up this complaint to the UN body when I attend the UN General Assembly on September 23 in the United States.

The Commission on Human Rights had said that it would deploy a team to Mindanao to verify reports that the MILF has been shoring up the youth’s support in the rebel group’s armed movement. Other concerned members of the citizenry are open to getting in touch with the MILF to verify the authenticity of the report.

Several days ago, I saw a television report that showed footage of a platoon of fatigue-clad, firearm yielding minors, who were allegedly among the new recruits of the rebel group.

In my US visit, I will hold bilateral meetings in New York and report to the UN the country’s compliance to the eighth international development objectives.

I will also meet with the Organization of Islamic Conference to present the government’s “new peace strategy,” following after the stalling of the signing of a domain agreement with the MILF.

I personally flew to Mindanao last Thursday to personally hand out incentives to some 500 soldiers deployed in Lanao del Norte to boost their moral while hunting down wanted MILF leaders.

Aside from distributing P300 cell phone loads to each soldier, I also gave out: P1 million for college education of the soldiers’ children, and P1 million for the soldiers’ parents.

I vowed to rehabilitate the hospitals where wounded soldiers are taking refuge.

I am so sad with what’s happening. I will try to fix this one, I’ll do my best to get the minors out of this.

Seedbook 7: Friends

I asked my friend to accompany me somewhere, it was already 2:30 (not sure of the exact time, just an estimation) and I still haven't eaten lunch. I was really hungry at time and I didn't know what to eat. I don't even know where I was going to eat. We just went to random place, I was the one who suggested that we go there.

As we were walking towards that place, I remembered the times when me and another friend of mine used to spend our Thursday afternoons there. We would hang out there and eat and wait for another friend of ours. We would just stay there and talk about our classes, the things we will do in our P.E class and other things. Sometimes we would just sit there and use my friend's laptop and play Spongebob Collapse (I'm so lame at this game!) or Luxor or Insaniquarium. My friend would even shout (that's her way of motivating me. haha) at me while playing Luxor because the marble was mismatched or she would tease me because I didn't pop all the bubbles in Spongebob Collapse, while our other friend would just be sitting there and laughing at us.

They would make fun of me because I am so lame at playing those games and then the next few minutes we would be teasing my friend, the girl, to our P.E classmate and then after that we would be talking about nonsense things. Then we would be thinking of not attending our P.E class because we don't feel like attending or because we want to watch a basketball training/game. It was really fun hanging out with them.

It was just a few months ago but it seemed so long ago already. I want those times to happen again. Because of that simple place, I gained friends and also gained memories. I think I should tell my friends that we should hang out there again, just to relive the memories. It would be nice to stay in that little corner and just laugh at each others antics and also while consoling each other while ranting about how the time for our P.E class is very late. I miss those times.

The application phase on the other hand requires the student to put into practice all the theoretical principles. These practices include, among others: effective skills in lining up for the games, cheering (pre-game, during the game, half-time and post-game), jeering, heckling, creating effective posters and banners for one's favorite players and posing and smiling for Fabilioh.com.

Course Requirements

Written Long Test: This will assess your memorization of the tradition and history of the Ateneo-La Salle rivalry. The test consists of itemized Multiple Choice questions and True or False statements.

Oral Exam:
The student will randomly draw two cheers from a lot. The student must cheer/sing the cheers he picked. Afterwards, he must be able to explain the significance of the cheer/song. He must also be able to identify when these cheers/songs are used.

Practical Exam:
The student must line up for tickets. This is a pass or fail exam. If the student is able to acquire a ticket, he automatically gets an A. If he doesn't get any ticket, he must take the Make-Up Test.

Make-up Test: Negotiating with Scalpers. Students who wish to pass the first practical exam for the course but failed to do so must take the Make-Up test. The student must locate a scalper within the vicinity of Araneta Coliseum. This is not a pass or fail test. The student's grade depends on how he was able to acquire a good ticket with the lowest possible price. The better the ticket with lower ticket price, the higher the grade.

Final Exam: Students are required to cheer during the game. The grade depends on the voice quality and frequency of the cheering. The Ateneo standard grading system will be applied. Therefore the passing score for the Final Exam is 70%. Students who cannot stand up and cheer 70% of the time automatically fail the exam.

Bonus points are given to students who are able to convince others to cheer loudly, either through a well-articulated speech or forceful coercion. Extra points are also awarded to fans who make creative banners for their favorite players.

Course Policies and Other Reminders


1. Plagiarism. Plagiarism is an extreme offense in this school. Do not copy cheers from other schools.
2. Cellphone Use. Using your cellphone to place in bets is illegal. Do not get yourself into trouble.
3. Cuts. Once you are inside Araneta, you are not allowed to leave. You must watch all four quarters. Win or lose, you are not allowed to leave before the Song for Mary is sung. Doing so merits an automatic W for the course.
