What We Need to Learn as Adults We've Learned in Kindergarten

Here's an episode of Pocoyo that made me tear up inside.
It was cute-funny and I swear I laughed so damn hard.
But then again it made my eyes well up more than it made me laugh.

Shallow, huh?

Watch. Maybe you'll understand why.

For you guys' downloading pleasure. Please suggest captions. Di ko ito kayang mag-isa. LOLx.

Goodnight, Lola.

My last grandparent passed away last Saturday. Lola Sion was 88 years old when she died peacefully in her sleep. Year after year she'd ask us to visit her because she felt that her time was arriving. This time it did.

Nanay broke the sad sad news to me first. I cried. I cried not because I didn't want to lose her. It's unfair to want to keep her here. She doesn't belong here. None of us does. It's just that I'm awfully gonna miss her.

I'll miss her nagging. I'll miss her asking yosi from me. I'll miss her stories. I'll miss her telling me that a proper lady shouldn't be driving. I'll miss her sermon on why it's better to eat vegetables and fish instead of McDo and Jollibee.

I'll miss her. Period.

Lola, thanks for taking care of us during our summer vacations when we were younger and more adventorous. Thank you for not sending us back to Manila when we almost killed your poultry when we set hay on fire to cook Kasuy. Thank you for letting us slip effortlessly away in the middle of the day to play habulan in the fields. Thank you for the mashed tomatoes that went well with most anything grilled.

But most of all, thank you for being our Lola.

Sayang Lola, di na natuloy ang panlalalake natin. Ikaw kasi, pakipot ka pa. Huwag mo kong isusumbong kay Lolo ha. Sabihin mo joke lang yun.

I love you, Lola. I'll never forget you. May God be with you.

And Lola, hamunin mo ng 41 yung mga tao dyan. I'm sure you'll beat them black and blue. =)

Your apo,
Lovelyn

Tears for my Alma Mater

i'm still gathering my thoughts on this. here are some articles for now:


http://www.gmanews.tv/story/144601/Ex-adviser-Penalized-student-bloggers-not-notorious-kids

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/144361/College-editors-may-file-complaint-vs-QCSHS-for-suspending-pupils-over-blog

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view/20090115-183564/Group-hits-suspension-of-QCSHS-students




in a nutshell, four students got suspended for ten days because they posted hate blogs. they posted hate blogs because they don't like what's happening at and to their school and they are suppressed to air their sides.

then they let go of probably the best teacher ever - one who'd train batch after batch after batch of future journalists to excellence. i should know. in was with batch 1.

had enough? they apparently haven't. they had to shut off the school papers!

I AM SO ANGRY I WANT TO WRITE THEIR NAMES ON MY DEATHNOTE. just kidding. but I am so upset. I am so damn angry.

Talk NERDY to me.

Lead trainer: ... remember the castle story? There's this body of water surrounding a castle. What do you call that again?

Me: (absent-minded) a moat?

Lead trainer: There you go. Five happy cards just for saying moat.

Guest presenter 2: ... Type 2 Diabetes is another condition brought about by our unhealthy lifestyle.

Teammate: *raises hand* Can you tell us what Type 2 Diabetes is?

Guest presenter 2: Uhm, anyone?

Me: *looks around*
