Lotsa things happened. One, UPB rallied against SM's plan to put up a hotel in front of the University. TV reports say that the rally turned to a riot. Hey people, that's too much of a hyperbole. Number two, the History department has a local history training this week.... So teachers are kinda out of sight.

NSTP will commence on Saturday--that's tomorrow. Whoa. Fast days, eh? We start teaching kiddos then, whoosh! We end the six-Saturday session. How fast time flies. We start AY 08-09. Voom! Sem break is near.

Many tell me to shift to B.A. S.S. History. Folks, I can't. History ain't my thing, see. I'm happy with Language and Literature. So thanks for the suggestion. Besides, History is a discipline that needs stretchy patience. I don't think I have that.

Currently, I'm researching for my papers in HIstory 100and BLL 102

Quite busy these days. Cheers!

P.S. I'm including an AVP of my family's red-letter day. It's the wedding of my cousin Tatum Grace Lopez.

Hi. Here are some photos from the wedding of my cousin.

Hi. Many things happened since I last wrote. UPB celebrates the Buwan ng Wika, and the play TONYO PEPE was staged. A rewarding play to watch. Really entertaining. Comical. Last week was not much of a hell week--no papers lay in wait. But the following week is--I've got an exam on Tuesday, and two papers on Thursday. (Sigh).
Funny person my friend Ivan is. He just found out that I'm 17 this afternoon. Then he blurted out that he thought "I was a super-accelerated 13-year-old-kid" all this time.(Do I appear that young? SM Supermart salesladies even try to get me into buying diapers "for my baby." Real shock. I don't look that old yet, do I?)
I miss my family. I can't wait for the semester to end. Just wondering, has anything changed back home? Or it's the same hometown I've left last June?
Cheerio!

Hi. It's nice to know that I'm able to drop by. Whew! I'm very busy with papers this week. One is due today, another on Thursday and Friday. Heeellllp!!! Anyway, two are down. I'll be working on the last one this afternoon.

My group mates and I started our NSTP work last August 2, and it was fun. It was nice to be with kids, listening to their (funny) stories while realizing that those stories contain sense.

I will be watching the play TONYO PEPE on Friday as a requirement in my Writing Class.

Cheerio!

It has been a while since I last wrote.

I passed in my History 100 exam. We will not have classes on Friday (August 8) in lieu of a lecture from Dr. G. Bankoff tomorrow. As usual, my research about Italian dictator Benito Mussolini continues...

I hate not using contractions ob this entry. The keyboard is having trouble now. Good news: I fixed the date on this blog, so it doesn't show two different dates anymore (hmmm, the keyboard is okay. I was able to shorten DOES NOT).

My warm regards to my friend in Diliman.

Hi. You must be confused with the dates--one says July 27 and I put July 28 on the title. Actually, the title is the REAL date. I haven't figured out how to change the date, you see.

Anyway, I just arrived from my cousin's house (I stayed there for the weekend 'cause of water shortage in my place). It's been raining since Sunday--strong rain--and that's another problem to face, especially with "laundry matters."

I've been poring over linguistic exams, and I think I'm gonna have a nose bleed. Hard enough, huh? Hmm, what is the result of my History 100 exam? Speaking of History 100, I'll go to the library after this for some research. (I'm having trouble with the keyboard's space bar while writing this).

I finished editing my friend's papers too, and it was exciting. Really. I hope that pal of mine's gonna stumble on this blog.

Hey Prof Lupin, how're you doing? I hope your students enjoy your class.

Gotta go. I might post some photos later.

I'm glad that I am once more able to do blogging. My first blog somewhere else doesn't function well anymore. I can't post anything.

I just had an exam in History 100 this morning, and it was like my previous HIstory exams, except that this was a bit more difficult. As always, I am held in suspense until our professor will show the result.

Currently, I am preparing for two papers in BLL 102 (Theories in Language Acquisition) and History 100 (Introduction to World Civilization). I'm also editing and translating a friend's work.

I am excited in translating because this activity allows me to polish my skills in Filipino. I hope my friend would be satisfied with my output and that the servers will work efficiently this time.

Till here for now. Cheerio!
