[) \/ |\/| 2016: For the Win


Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts. 
-Albert Einstein



          My life consort sparked me an idea on how to review. I know a certain way won’t apply to everybody else but let me try to win you with some of what I believe in.  
       Studying demands a hard-core mental job. A sound body comes a sound mind. Start with a healthy lifestyle. Remember your science teacher blah-ing about go, grow and glow foods, needed hours of sleep and physical exercises.
         Commencement wanes for another starting line and the board exam high days seem to be accelerating. You are so fresh from all the feeds from your college professors (industrious they are!) and years of studying. So strike the board immediately. Though some intend to do self-review, consider a review center for it may be the step one can do to the least. So embrace the piles of bound lectures, notes, sample question-and-answer’s and books. Bring to study tables varied marking pens for highlighting, underlining, side noting and doodling. Light your lamp (of hope) and sit properly to begin the reading. Oh yes, it is time to have your brows be singed again after college if not further to the burnt eyelids.
       Prioritize. Every single tick-tock is so precious to be let gone with moves that can be done later. So the number one at the very list of life’s to-do is review. Deactivate your un-needed social media accounts. It doesn’t hurt to say sorry to your online games no matter what level you are on now.
         Focus. Live with the noise if it can’t be avoided. Partying can be toned lesser. Senses are sensitized only for veterinary medicine.
          Crown thyself the monarch of the house. Tape mnemonics all the way down the corridors from where you usually pass through or where you are frequent at like the back of the CR door or the window panes. At a glance, you can get to see what skipped your memory and remind you over and over. It would be a fiesta of papers everywhere and your sibling you share the room with has to bear with. Excuse yourself from home chores.
         Alarm clocks can be set for breaks. Don’t wait for aches from lopsided seat tell you need some stretching. At these breaks, don’t forget to boost the brain. Morning jogs or evening walks can be great means of increasing oxygen flow. Make chocolates and nuts (your choc-nuts!) your favorite for the mean time. Gulp your fluids and flash every minute of toxins from your body. Don’t hold yourself from falling into your power naps. Science has proven it to be helpful.  
      Backed up by caffeinated friends that you’d be singing gratitude to soon, set the mind and say, “I can.”  You’d know how powerful positivity has to be. Ask yourself, “For what am I be doing all of these efforts?” Refuse to be thinking about not making it to heed depressive thoughts. Don’t say, “I’d be damn lucky to hit a passing score for one or two subjects. Or if I fail, it would be just one subject so it would be more accepting for a second take.”
          Pray. It is only through Him we can make things possible.

World Teacher's Day

   For today’s sake of celebrating teachers, let me get down my memory lane circa 1994.  Ms. Florida Dao-ines was my grade 1 teacher in the then Kayan Community School. I thanked that I was bit of a reader so I was spared from her famed stick. Of course, my hearing wasn’t excused of her voice harping on the day’s if not yesterday’s lesson. Oh, I could see her small figure with her short curly hairdo passing by my grandparents’ place because she used to visit her brother on the next house. Ms. Dao-ines taught us room maintenance the organic way— scrub off graffiti on wooden desks with sandpaper tree leaves, sweep off dirt, whip the floor with banana leaves and finish it off with coconut husk. On my second year with my grandparents going as second grader, I had Teacher Jeaneth Juan. She was my first troop leader in GSP and Agadangan became a vivid memory of the Scout Movement. Enamored with her not-so-strict classroom bearing, my classmates and I were saddened when on...

WOMAN-ified ME

I was born a woman but ended up acting the opposite. Clumsiness and its cousins in the thesaurus is what I am. Finesse goes unsaid and unheard in my world. I preferred oversized tees over fitting blouses. I refused figure-flaterring dresses for loose pants. I would choose a paintless face even being merged with a bin of all-made-up pretties. But I knew I am a woman inside. So are the secret feelings that have silently died. It was only me who knows everything of what-really-is. It was hard shifting to finer moves. Oh graceful me in sweat! I hate being with someone who I cannot see myself. Because to me, gaudiness is parallel to fun. Not long after, I’ve been to stores of pallets. So the smudged me emerged. Little by little, I’ve added garments I thought I can never wear. These changes of seeing ourselves that can improve us.

Another Day Lived

Thursday morning. I woke up with a mental list of to-do’s. $*|?**$ visit to deliver IV fluids. Get back to do the laundry. With my second to the last PUJ jibe, the open doors of the church invited me in so the last two hours were spent hearing the mass. At the middle of the Eucharistic celebration, the heavy downpour added darkness to the dusk creeping in. Having waited for ten minutes more, I decided to wade waters to get to the last jitney back to the doctor’s quarter. (So this is Manila and its famous flood.) My feet getting cold with the pooling of rainwater inside my shoes reminded me of laundry powder so I dropped by in a mart for some. Finally with the nighttime shower done, I hanged the last piece of the three-day soiled uniforms for air drying by the washroom. After hungry tummy pacified… Oh zzz’s, come to thee…
