More Than You Can Give

Amazing. I have this classmate who is willing to go to my house and bring this handout that I need for my reaction paper in EDSP 129. It is due on Monday that's why I sent text messages to some of my classmates for the copy. In the beginning, I only asked her if she could leave the handout at the counter of the educ guard. Without hesitation, she just asked me if I live near UP and offered to go to my house instead. I told her that my house is really out of the way..actually near Marikina. But she doesn't mind. And the most surprising part about it, I am not entirely close to her. We just have casual conversations in the classroom; but, here she is..doing something out of her own will. Ang galing lang talaga.
Most of the time, I think too much in making my decisions. There are a lot of factors that I begin considering. Would I have the time to do this? Wouldn't it be wrong being involved with something too complicated? But I was inspired by my classmate. She wasn't hesitant to do it. She just did it. Nakakagulat talaga. Sana dumami ang mga taong katulad niya.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind



I really love this movie. Because there are a lot of things that you want to forget. But in the end, these things are worth remembering because you learn, forgive, and strive to become better than what we already are. We have faith in life. We hope to go to the direction meant for us..or at least would lead us to the path where we truly belong. (Haha..Hang-over sa reaction paper ko about Saint Augustine)


"Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."
"Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks."
"Look it out here, it's all falling apart. I'm erasing you and I'm happy."
"Sorry...I'm just trying to be nice."
(All of those: Joel)

"Sometimes I don't think people realize how lonely it is to be a kid."
"I apply my personality in a paste."
(All of those: Clementine)

"Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders."
"Adults are like the mess of sadness and phobias."
(All of those:
Mary)

"How happy is the blameless vessel's lot
The world forgetting by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd." (from Alexander Pope's poem)

Joel: Wait.
Clementine: Why?
Joel: I don't know. Just wait..for awhile.

Clementine: This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.
Joel: I know.
Clementine: What do we do?
Joel: Enjoy it.

Prayer Concert



Pagkatapos ng madaming practices at pangungulit ng mga choir mems, natapos na rin ang prayer concert. Ang galing ng mga choirs na kumanta. Sobrang nag-enjoy ako pakinggan ang Kinema ("Stand up for love.."). Hay. One of my last choir moments with ICTUS before I graduate. Or at least before I leave ICTUS since I'll still be graduating next sem. Sometimes, I would want to think that I can still join the org for my last sem. Just to attend school, choir practices, or at least ictus/students' mass. But then again, focus. There is a need to focus on my acads for me to graduate. And..it's not that I'm leaving the org...but, as mentioned by my fellow ictusian, I need to move onto another phase. I'll continue being an ictusian but only in a different venue. Haha. Napaka-senti mode naman nito. I want to work during the first semester. Kahit simple tutorials..feeling ko kasi may kulang pa sa ginagawa ko. Hindi enough yung natutunan ko sa course. Puro theoretical lang kasi at mas kelangan ko pa ng maraming experience para makapagturo ng maayos. Kahit nag-prepracticum na kami (150+ hours din yun), marami pang rin kelangan malaman. Pero may panahon pa naman para mag-enjoy sa ictus kaya lulubusin ko na. =)
