They don't know about it, so let it be known.
Not everyone knows about the Tarlac State University Pura Campus extension.
To begin with, Pura is one of the municipalities of Tarlac which is situated far from the city. Tarlac State University or TSU is the largest educational institution in the province. So as a joint effort, the LGU of Pura and the administration of TSU decided to put up a campus for residents of Pura and neighboring...

In re: Sotto, 82 Phil. 595, the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the Philippines is, under the Constitution, the last bulwark to which the Filipino people may repair to obtain relief for their grievances or protection of their rights when these are trampled upon, and if the people lose their confidence in the honesty and integrity of the members of this Court and believe that they cannot expect justice therefrom, they might be driven to...

On being a teacher
I grew up with a teacher because my mother is a high school teacher. So I know that teachers have their own lives after school.
So, as I grew up, I keep on wondering what are my teachers like outside the classroom or outside school. Are they funny? Are they childish? Are they strict outside school?
I never got to have a professor in college who became a close friend or a barkada wherein you hang...

Let the little girl rant tonight
Months ago, my phone (BB Bold 9700) has recurring problems regarding its trackpad. So, I just let it pass because it gets fixed after an hour or so. And the problem only happens when my phone accumulates moist from cold places.
Last Friday, the trackpad went crazy; it keeps pressing the button on its own as if it has its own life. In addition to that disturbing dilemma, the earpiece got busted as...

Do you know how it feels?
Picture yourself being with the greatest set of college friends for four years and after graduation you are separated from them roughly 3 hours away. Add the fact that you have a demanding work as a College Instructor and a way more demanding law school.
Seeing them go out every other day and plan out activities because they are still together in the city breaks my heart. Yes, I know it’s...

Just something.
At this hour, I should be sleeping or reading my Legal Ethics book. Yet I spent most of the time playing Temple Run on my iPod and thinking of my blurry love.
Technically, I broke up with you a month ago. So does this mean I should be the one to do the initiative of having you back again? I have this rule that I should see you again first before we get back together. But that might happen too...
I can be the sweetest person. But I can also be...
Irony of myself.

Positive selfishness.
Honestly, with all the revelations I heard last night, I am still confused as to what step I should do next. Give up or just continue? The only thing I know that I have to live by is to do whatever makes me happy. If something is the sole reason why I am happy then I should stick with it.
I am a person who is selfless in a few ways. I tend to consider others’ feelings, put them in a...

There is always a first time.
Long before, I have always portrayed a good girl role. I always get aggravated by a situation. It’s just like Jazzel is synonymous to being the protagonist in a story. With that, I wanted to try something new. I wanted to deviate from the usual little miss nice girl. Jokingly, I was wishing I could be the kontrabida or the antagonist. And for today, I got what I jokingly wished for years...

So, I hung up.
I called you. You failed to answer on the 8th ring, so I hung up. Then you called. We both said good night. But why does it feel weird? It doesn’t feel the same way anymore.
I want to cry, because, honestly, I’m still this hopeful little girl. I am idly waiting for us to be ok again. I want to cry because all these hopes are bound to drift away. It doesn’t feel right. Or is it...

Happy Almost
Yesterday’s the 29th. That day’s not a big deal anymore since we aren’t together now. But it was good to start the 29th with an SMS from you. Because as the whole day passed by, I never felt clingy; I didn’t feel any urge to send you an SMS simply because today’s just an ordinary day. Also, I don’t want to ruin your good times there. It seems like you are ok and...
Here we go again.
Just when I was so ready to let go of you and be happy for Christmas, here you go telling me that you love me.

Try sleeping with a broken heart
If it’s difficult to sleep with a broken heart, then you should also try to wake up with a broken heart coupled with a gloomy weather. Waking up sad is hard most especially when you had a heartbreaking dream. When you finally wake up, you realize that everything is still the same; you aren’t together still. When you sleep with a broken heart, you get into a deep slumber and chase...

The best man for me
I chose you over the others because I feel safe when I’m with you. You give me the feeling that you will never take advantage of me and my obvious weaknesses. You are harmless, so caring, and you make me feel loved.
I don’t need the right man, I need the best man. That man who will stand out among the others. And you are that man.
But if this has to end, then I’m going to...

An open letter to my parents
Papa and Mama, at some certain point in my life, I will fall in love again. Maybe right now I do have a boyfriend. But that doesn’t mean I will not pursue those dreams that you have for me.
I hope you know me very well. Your daughter knows how to prioritize, so you have nothing to worry about. Way back college, I had a boyfriend but I still managed to graduate as Cum Laude, which is one of...

Because it's the 29th of the month
Ever since I was a kid, I am the type who is afraid to start all over again. Too afraid of changes and too stubborn to accept that sometimes you have to start anew.
Now, I have accepted some changes in my life and little did I know that this change will give me…a zebra. :>
Time flies fast and now we’re on our first month. It’s not JUST the first month, it is OUR first...

Too young, too early
They say, we are still too young to get into a relationship. I say, part of growing up is getting a relationship to develop your sense of maturity.
They say, it’s still too early to get serious in love. I say, why decide on being in love and entering a relationship when you aren’t really serious? I mean, what’s the point in messing up each other’s feelings when all you...

Who has trust issues?
I remember during the sem break last year, I was dying to have a series marathon since I need to catch up with my favorite TV shows. I was choosing between One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl, the two American series I started watching barely 4 years ago.
I started off with Gossip Girl but I wasn’t able to finish one episode because it shows too much issues on cheating, affairs, and...

Work or Law?
Papa is very supportive of my plans to go to law school and fulfill my dream. Though he didn’t allow me to take it up at my alma mater (UST), still he will let me study. I asked him last Thursday if I can be a full-time student and he agreed. So, there. I am decided to become a full-time law student here in Tarlac.
BUT, my mama thinks otherwise. She wants me to work instead of studying. Or...
