Singapore is the 18th and latest country included in the Formula 1 races.
Then...
If I could wish to a genie, I will tell him to get me to Singapore by tomorrow so that I can watch the Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix, which will feature the premier and much anticipated Night Race. Of course, I'll also tell him to bring my dad with me! Ha ha ha!
Tomorrow will also be the fourth to the last race to approach the driver's championship.
Felipe Massa took a comfortable pole position as he is only of a 1-point deficit, with 77, from top seed driver Lewis Hamilton, who has 78. Meanwhile, Robert Kubica is trailing from 64, while Kimi Raikkonen, who is also a Ferrari driver alike Massa, still has a lot to do with 57 points to defend his last year's title.
I really want Kimi Raikkonen to win. If not, Lewis is just on the right spot.

Lost books! Aarrrghhh!
There is rampant stealing of books in our college recently.
Kath, Tina, Vera, and I rented a wooden locker to lessen our everyday luggage.
Just this morning, I went to the third floor to get my book in Organizational Behavior. Surprised, I saw that the lock was broken and that our locker suddenly became spacious. So I thought my friends merely got most of their books but upon seeing them at the library, they informed me that some of their books are stolen. Vera was the most unfortunate for she just lost 3 of the important books we have for the semester namely Banking and Financial Mgt., which Kath and I also lost, Organizational Behavior, and Foundations of Finance.
We were actually warned by the CCSC (College of Commerce Student Council) to use a key lock but still we used the one which is accessed by pressing a 4-digit code. We know that we are held liable for the loss of our books but then again, does the person who got our books have conscience? Kindly pls. pls. pls. return them! Those five books are worth our lives given that finals is already nearing.

Happy Birthday!
It's been a while since I've last posted and I think I've already gone rusty in writing. Anyhow, it's my father's birthday so here is a shout out to him! ha ha!
Last April 8 was the confirmation date for our majors.
I opted for Finance as my major but if given another chance, I would prefer to have BSBA in general. With that, I can have collective knowledge in courses being tackled in the program. Yet those who graduated with the BSBA degree would rather prefer to have a major. They say it would be better to have a program with a specialization because the principles that have been thought would be taken to a much much higher level with deeper perspective.
I'm quite interested in Finance but I'm actually 50:25:25 on choosing it between economics and marketing. ha ha! My father wants me to choose it over other majors but he's not compelling me to. My mother on the other hand says either economics or finance is okay to her. Good thing that there's no conflict, so we all agreed up to Finance.
Happy Birthday, pop!And also to all other April birthday celebrants! he he.

Demand for Truth
What do ethics say in the condition of our society today?
Many people see that our government is filled with corruption. They see our president as a tool for corruption to which she was associated with jueteng scam, wiretapping, and the fertilizer scam. Before, she is also linked with the election fraud to which she apologized to the nation by merely stating “I am sorry.” in public.
Today, there is Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada Jr., the whistle blower who exposed what he knew about the alleged kickbacks in the $329-million National Broadband Network (NBN) deal with China’s ZTE Corp.
With all these fraudulent actions that are rampant in our government, how does the field of politics, religion, and also our people respond?
Politics as we see is doing their part about the technicality of the situation. They are undergoing due process such as hearing in the senate but now, the battle arena over NBN shifts to Supreme Court. The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on the other hand, has released a statement telling their view about the situation and what should be done.
The CBCP which is in its neutral state are sort of general in their statement that they didn’t directly account for the president to resign. What they want is to junk the EO 464 and allow former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri and all summoned officials to testify in the inquiry on the broadband scandal.
Jun Lozada, if not for him, only a few would know about what is really happening in our government. He has awakened our people to search for truth. And recently, interfaith rallies are organized in various parts of the country especially in Makati. Even key political figures such as then presidents Joseph Estrada and Corazon Aquino, who is in full support of Lozada, join together in their search for truth and the call for Ms. Arroyo to resign.
Filipinos are tired of tolerating corruption but not moral bankruptcy that’s why many are joining rallies and a lot of them, according to the organizers, are fresh faces- the youth, and the businessmen, who also seeks for the truth.
Also, some don’t want to stage rallies because they are exhausted by the recurring situations and nothing changes. Some don’t see themselves taking part in EDSA I and II anymore because they think that people power is not the solution.
We should not wait for that where violence and rage comes in because the worst thing would probably be when the military to become the final arbiter.
All of us seek the truth and so we have to be united in search for it. That is, the problem which is there is no unity yet. Many have their own opinions and beliefs about the situation. Some say that we should wait for 2010 to elect for a new leader but then again, in retrospect, we will just tolerate moral bankruptcy because if for that, it’s like we are okay of what is happening in our country today-full of fraud and delusion.
Lozada, in his speech in a Mass for Truth at UST, said that a priest “close to the cardinals” had told him that he would have had “no problem” had Jaime Cardinal Sin--a moving force in the Edsa I and II People Power revolutions--been alive today (carried from the Inquirer issue Mar.3, 2008).
Also, one professor in the Ateneo once said, “You don’t wait. That’s not the stance. Actually, you should continue pushing.”
We should see, judge, and act in the right way and be not indifferent to the present condition of our society. Let’s be aware of the situation deliberating every detail of it before getting involved.

Febraury 29, '08
Yesterday (which was actually today in my entry) was leap year and a lot of things happen to add up to our history especially the interfaith rally held at Makati, organized by some of our former political leaders who are against the Arroyo Administration.
Pucha My friend Hazel and I waited two hours at lawton just to ride a bus. Ugh! Too bad, I wasn't able to watch the news for I was very exhausted when I got home and had fallen asleep easily. I really don't go for the manipulative biatch!

My Über bad week.
Last week, all of my close friends in our block got problems. Some are little worries while some are huge emotional problems.
I thought I got none but little did I know that as the week closes, problem of mine was just starting. First was the shallowest of them all- I left my cellphone at home and before I realize it, I already paid the fare at the puv I rode. Second was I was sort of ignored by someone whom until now I like so much . Then it was all narrowing to the one thing I thought I will never encounter until the time I got to be liable for a material stuff which was worth 13K (12K when I browsed for it) as the owner say.
Most of us in the room borrowed that Palm T|X of my blockmate. Then last friday lunch, we had an absent professor due to an emergency meeting. I got bored so I borrow the Palm of my blockmate to play solitaire again. The owner then went near España gate to check on her sister's USTET result. But after some time, I, also, was asked by my close friends to go downstairs to eat.I left the PDA on top of the pile of handouts on my desk. I brought nothing but my money and my handkerchief. Shortly after 20 minutes, we then went to the room and the owner was looking for it. I knew for all that it was there so I calmly tried to search for it but to my surprise it was gone! I dropped everything in my bag just to find it but I knew prior to that it wasn't there for I was sure it was on the desk before I left to eat.
I tried to be subdued as possible but my efforts to search for it didn't pay off. My classmates knew something was wrong so I told them about it.
Many of them feel it wasn't my fault that I left it there for I was trusting them for the valuable (which I actually borrowed). Different reactions and suggestions were given as to how we were going to solve the problem for I was the one actually held liable but they suggested a lot of solutions to ease the burden I feel inside. They comforted and symphatized me. I really did appreciate them- all the concern, empathy, and help.
They knew bad luck was there.
I don't know if 'year of the horse' has something to do with it.
My blockmate just ask me to replace the stuff for 10K. hu hu.
I know it happened for a reason but that reason I still can't grasp. One thing's for sure: Many of us now will realize that we really need to take good care of our valuables.

Amazing Faith
Last January 9, we had no classes for it is the celebration of the 401st feast of the Black Nazarene.
An estimate of 2.6M devotees gathered at Plaza Miranda and along the streets of Quiapo to come into procession. It was believed that by holding the statue or the long rope tied from the vehicle bearing the blessed Nazarene, your hopeful prayers will be answered.
Devotees for years have observed that this was the feast were most number of people have gathered expecting to hold the long rope in the hope of receiving an aid from the Black Nazarene.
It was said that more and more people will come each year because "life is getting harder".
The only negative thing is that casualties also grow in number. It's inevitable especially when surrounded by a sea of devotees like that.
Yes, it was amazing to see all these people swarm to touch the blessed Nazareno itself or the long rope. Even an OFW flew back to his home, and other Filipinos across the country in order to grope the Nazareno. Also, Manny Pacquiao asked for the benevolence of Nazareno for one of his bouts. A person was tasked by his chief aide to wipe the towel through the Nazareno for his first fight against Morales. Pacquiao won the fight. He believed to the Nazareno and the blessings was gifted to him.
No one can actually question their faith-one's faith. There is no explanation needed to support it. It is one's feeling, one's trust, and one's belief.
