Good morning Tuesday!

I always start my day checking notifications at Facebook, bulk of emails at Gmail and reading tweets at Twitter. While reading short tweets in Twitter, I saw gmanews tweets asking "Sapat bang ipagbawal ang mga computer shop malapit sa paaralan para iwas-bulakbol ang mga estudyante?". I replied, depends :).





I've been working in 2 years now, how I missed being a student.

Computer shops near our school plays important role in my student life, not just because I am a computer student in college but because computer shops was one of our favorite place to hang-out. :) There was a time when I was in highschool that I was so excited after class.. because after class was our time at Zirconia - one of the nearest computer shops at our school that time.

EJ was one of my dearest highschool friend, I asked him if he could help me in searching my assignment in Filipino. Nah! it was hard to searched because what we need were old filipino music lyrics. So I asked him if he could help me out.. I was beside him and I noticed that he was so familiar using the web and typed very fast at keyboard. Wow! I was really amazed that time. We have computer at home but we are not interested using it, kinda bored. No internet.

Then I knew, EJ spent lot of his spare time playing games that makes him very familiar using computer.

That's the beginning of my interest in computer. Gusto ko din ma-master, exploring the world wide web.

So nung nag-college na kame pinayuhan ako ni EJ na kunin ang Bachelor of Science in Computing na course kesa sa Engineering course (Civil Engineer). Wala akong regrets sa course na kinuha ko, ang sabi ko sa sarili ko kinuha ko to tatapusin ko :)

Ganto lang naman ang naging buhay estudyante namin noon.

Eksena 1: "Ang init! Tara, sa computer shop tayo"
Palamigan din namin dati ang mga computer shops :)

Eksena 2: "Asan sila? Nasa computer shop."
Sa malapit na computer shop sa school sila madalas matatagpuan (sila - refers to my classmates)

Eksena 3: "Dito lang ako sa BJ Computer Shop, wait kita dito"
Nagiging antayan din namin ang computer shop, Hehehe. Computering while waiting! Hahah.

Eksena 4: "Dota? Dota!"
Nanonood ako habang nagdodota sila.. Ayoko matuto. Heheh.

Eksena 5: "Wala daw si Sir! . . Sige, computer muna ako."
Haha. Mahal na mahal ko dati ang Friendster, so I always keep in touch. Changing my Friendster layout, adding bit html codes when I'm putting testimonials to my friends.

Eksena 6: "15 pesos x 5 hours = Php 75.00 para sa internet cost"
Ubos ang pera, ang bilis ng oras 5 hours na palang nasa computer shop.

Di ko na maalala ung ibang eksena pero lahat nangyayare sa computer shop. Doon kame natuto. Nagiging tambayan namin. Minsan nga me time na dun na kame nagkikita-kita magkakaklase, kahit di naman nag-usap. Super close kame sa mga computer shops. Nagiging friend din namin ang mga nagbabantay. Sa halos araw-araw ba naman na nakikita nila kame eh namememorize na kame. Pero hindi naman namin pinabayaan ang pag-aaral namin non :)

As college students, self-discipline pa rin talaga. Hindi palaging dis-advantage, me advantages din. Pag wala naman kasing magawa sa school, wala ang prof, talagang ang bagsak namin kung hindi sa mga foodchains sa SM Manila, sa mga computer shops sa may San Marcelino ang bagsak namin. :)

Thanks God! We just received our medical result for HIV test and Chest X-Ray. We are soo happy that nurses were very hospitable in assisting us.

We took our HIV test at Medical Center, Commonwealth and X-Ray at Jurong East.

It was Wednesday last week when we had our medical check-up with Dr. Gwee-Shoung Yee Rachel, she was beautiful and very calm, she advised me to closed my eyes and turn my face to the right, maybe she feels that I'm getting nervous that time and Oh!! Finished! :)

The next day was X-Ray day, we went to Jurong East to complete our medical exam requirements for work pass. We almost lost, it tooks time to searched the laboratory at Jurong East. Wew! We feel surprised when the medtech speak in tagalog. :) 3 days before we received our Medical result.

More luck tomorrow. We will go to MOM :)

Here we go again, sa aming Lakad trip. Napapadalas na ata ang lakaran namin tuwing weekend. Hahah Ang target namin this day, to walk from Farrer Park Station to Temasek Boulevard.

We first checked gothere.sg website to review the walk and the distance. Wow! So near. :)

Walking from Farrer Park to Little India was awesome. You can see a lot of stores with cheaper prices and restaurants. Super we enjoy walking at these area nakabisado na rin namin pati paikot-ikot sa lugar. Ang first stop namin ay ang OG Albert Mall. Then diretso papunta sa Bugis Village hanggang sa makita namin ang building na Suntec City.



Medjo hindi kame nag-enjoy sa mall hahah this was our first time.. We just canvassing laptop prices woooot same prices with Funnan Mall, well one reason we go there was memorizing the place so that when the IT Show comes we are familiar at the malls levels already.

We rest after a long walk for a while watching the Fountain of Wealth. We do not appreciated it much because it was hot afternoon and all we want was to sit down and rest. We promised to go back at the fountain at night when theres lights coming from the fountain.

We decided to go at Orchard, wew! We ride at Bus number 36 and we saw way to Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore flyer, the Cityhall. Now we have one list plan, to walk from Farrer Park to Marina Bay Sands :)

At Orchard Road, we walked again from Dhoby Ghaut station to Lucky Plaza. We eat at Filipino Carinderia there (Lechon and Bopis).

Then Daiso at Plaza Singapura. What a tiring day! We got home at 10:00 in the evening.

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then

Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

Ooh, ooh

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father
again

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

First time ito Snorkeling at Batangas :)


Advance Pa-birthday ni Arvi :)
