the semester is finally about to be finished; to be honest it has not been one of the best sems in my college life--just too much stress, too many things to do so little time!!! but in the end i still managed to hold on and stick it up for every class I had....and now that its about to be finished i could finally get some well deserved sleep and relaxation

looking back on the past sem; I have realized that certain people came into my life, made it hard yet made the experience worthwhile and needless to say influenced me to strive harder and achieve my goals in the most effective way i could: and this would have to be my professors: Dr. Lucille Natividad and Mr. Clark Alejandrino!!! TWo terror teachers; Two push-it-to-the-limit instructors; two slave drivers; two mentors; two inspirations and motivations; two friends I earned throughb the sem

MAny people might think that I only endorse Dr. Natividad because I was supposedly "her favorite" when in fact I really am not. It just so happened that I got to learn her style of teaching early on through the course that made me the undisputed quatro kid of our theology class!!! Known for her daily readings, Mark assignments and weekly quizzes, Dr. Natividad is a very nice woman who could perhaps motivated me the most to my utmost capabilities!!!

In the very last individual consultation I had with her she mentioned...."Tj, I know you have the capability and the intellect to reach the top you only have to realize your own potentials before you could put them into perspective and apply them in reality: Abilities are God-given talents yet it involves our own desires, bodies and hearts to put them into actualization!! I believe in your abilities and I am definitely looking forward to see you in your graduation amongst those on the top!!!"

Another teacher that had motivated me was none other than MR. Clark Alejandrino!!! The very best history class teacher anyone could ever have.....assigning the most peculiar of readings yet arriving at the crossroads of pure intellectual absolutism and pure insightful view of history and of life.....as a fellow merit scholar....he reminded me of a person who is equally strong in his beliefs and principles and in his own outlook in life....

In my last oral exam with Mr. Alejandrino he gave me this particular advice: When you become a doctor....never doubt yourself for in your hands lies the decision between life and death....for someone with so much power..with so much opportunities to get the very best out of life...you have remained humble and that is the thing I admire about you!!! Go out of your own box and live your own life, if you make mistakes then so be it at least you made that mistake by yourself and not because of anyone else.......conquer the world, conquer life!!!!

Two great teachers; two great mentors; two beacons of inspiration and hope!!! To you Dr. Natividad and Mr. Alejandrino the fruits of my labor for this sem is offerred to you...for without your guidance, your stressful requirements, your idiosyncracies, and sarcasm i wouldnt have made it through this sem!! Its hard to say goodbye to two such people that have touched your lives but I know that it is inevitable.....we just have to pick up the ashes and move on for life continues even if we want it to stop...Dr. NAtividad and Mr. Alejandrino...thank you so much for the experience, the guidance and the love!!! AWWWWWWWWWWW

1. As of the writting of this entry, im sipping my fourth iced white chocolate moccha to keep myself awake....buried under piles of history readings, SA readings, theology reflection paper, environmental science homework, preparations for theology oral examinations, ES exams, histo presentation, SA project and ES project report all due within a week's time!!!! stressed is the word man!!!!

2. Missing highschool. Mga kapawa ruralites from the UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES RURAL HIGHSCHOOL......magparamdam naman sana kayo di ba?!?!?!?!?!?

3. Really doing well in class....just got a perfect 4 for my first theology exam [not to mention straight 4s on theo quizes] making me (as people say) one of Dr. Natividad's favorites!! [What can i say lovable talaga ako e]. Got partial grades on SA and still am on the running for an A in that class....histo [though a real pain in the butt] has been amazingly good....A b/C+ on the written test and a perfect A on the orals making my 1st long test grade at an A/B+  standing.....Chem is a different topic....boring teacher.....buti na lang she decided to give another test kundi B na lang ako sa chem....so ngayon still an A...bwahahahahahahaha!! obvios bang grade conscious akooooo????
