Subject: You knew that already.

Message:

Hey there! I do receive oodles of invitations from random people across the savaged planet, which is Earth. Yes, I always accept random invitations, else if your site’s literally empty. But over the time, I do also get random relationships from random invites.

So, if you really don’t know me, add me as your ONLINE BUDDY. I will no longer accept invitations with random relationships. But hey, I do sometimes have a short-term-memory-loss. Hahaha. Just state your reason on why you’re adding me, say as your friend, neighbor, fraternity brother and etc. Hahaha :))

Hope you’ll cooperate with this simple task. Thank you and God speed.


Lots of hate, treachery and love,
Renzy :)

PS: A friend or an online buddy is fine.. but please, refrain from other relationships.


Blog EntryKnow the ReasonAug 24, '08 9:35 AM
for everyone
The fact that I must read my readings in Microbiology (in which I already mastered the Algae part, well, thanks to Intermediate Botany), LSS, once again, ruined my life. A lot of people really love LSS, but for me? It's the shittiest thing in the world. I'm not the type of person who gets an LSS in one song only, at least ten songs haunt me everyday. I don't know. Once I sing my favorite song, other songs will just pop on to my subconscious mind and eventually, my brain will transform into an enormous imeem playlist, playing at least millions of songs simultaneously. That's why, I really hate LSS. Really. Damn it. Sorry if this post's nonsense, but I just want to release those unwanted stress in my body.


But hey, let's play a game, shall we? The first person who can guess (or better yet, answer) all of the titles plus artist correctly will get a lovely price. Come on, don't be shy. And oh, pasensya na if the lyrics are not that accurate. My bad.

---

<LSS>


1) Where is the moment you needed the most? You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost, you tell me the blue skies turn to gray, tell me your passion's gone away, but I need no carry on..


2) Searching for the day of simple life, I wonder why the sky is blue.. my dream, your dream, dreams come true.. Flying high, Always listen to what is right, always listen to what's inside, always fly high and don't come back..

3) It's getting late, I'm making all my way to my favorite place, I gotta have to move my body shake the stress away.. possible candidate.. do you know where it started..I jsut can hear the party, we're rockin' on the dance floor acting naughty..

4) Hey there's a look in your eyes, must be love at first, you were just part of my dream, nothing more so it seems, but my love can't wait much longer, just can't forget the picture of your smile, 'coz everytime, I close my eyes, you come alive..

5) I love you with a fire red, now it's turning blue, and you saaayyyyyy, sorry like an angel heaven never think it was you.. but I'm not afraid.. 

6) Tick tick tock it's quarter to two, and I'm done, I'm getting enough with you.. I can't keep on waiting for you..

7) Would you ever be, I tried so hard to find sweet serenity, are you still afraid, just close your eyes and feel the pain fade away..

8) Story of my life, searching for the right, but it keeps avoiding me, sorrow in my soul, but it just get wrong, really loves my company..

9) Morning has come another day, I must pack my bags and say goodbye, GOOODBYEEEE.

10) Here's how it goes.., I'm not gonna make you cry, but soon you will find it, you can run, you can hide but you can't escape my love.

11) When the sun we'll shine together, told you I'll be here forever, say that always be my friend, took an oath imma stick it out 'til the end.

12) Lights go out and I can't be saved, tides that I tried to swim against, put me down to pull my knees, Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing.

13) Come up and meet you, to tell you I'm sorry.

14) Calling out of my cage and I've been doing just fine, gotta gotta be down because I wanna know, it started out with a kiss and everything ended up like this, it was only a kiss, it was only kiss.

15) Breakin' my back just to know your name, seventeen tracks and I haven't win this game.

16) I thought I saw a man brought to life, he was warm he came around like he was dignified, he show me why I musn't cry.

17) At the end of the day, remember the way that we can be close til' the end, remember how we made it through the rain, end of the day, remember the way that we can be close 'til the end, remember, it was me and you, 'coz we are gonna be forever you and me...

18) Say that you love me forever, never stop, never whatever..

19) Tonononot-tonot-not-not-not-tonenonenenot..tononot-tonot-tonot.. (HAHAHA, walang artist to, title lang).

20) Step one, you said we need to talk, he walks you say sit down it's just a talk, he smiles politely back at you, you stare politely right on through

21) We hope you enjoy your stay..

22) I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, roman cavalry choirs are singing..

23) Magbago man ang panahon, pamantasan na hindi rin magbabago..

24) I open my eyes, and see you for the first time, I let go of you like, a child letting go of his kite.

25) Far away, this ship's is taking me far away, far away from the memories, of the people who care if I live or die.

26) On the corner of the main street, just got to keep in mind, say you wanna move on here..

27) I look in through the eyes, so far away. There's trouble on your mind, you're losing faith. Hey know, are you listening? Can you feel this way?

28) Please, don't let this feeling end.

29) Bum-bum dee am bum bum dee am, it's a thief in the night, will come and get you.

30) How long before I begin? Before it starts, before I begin?

31) When you wanted the most, there's no easy way out.
When you're ready to go, bent your heart, left in doubt, don't give up on your faith, love comes to those who believe it.

</LSS>

Bum-bum-dee-am-bum-bum-de-am-dum

After Unfaithful, Umbrella and Don’t Stop the Music, Rihanna once again invaded my subconscious mind. I really hate LSS. GRRRRRR.

Just an excerpt of this song:

It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
It's too close for comfort ohhh

Throw on your break lights
Here in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must faultier be wise
Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight? Disturbia
Your mind's in disturbia
Ain't used to what you like Disturbia Disturbia

Let's paaaarrrteeeeyyyy. Long Weekend Mode.

Blog EntryMeatloaf meets RavenAug 16, '08 1:20 AM
for everyone

Back in 1996, I would always wait for Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back To Me Now in MTV. I really love this song (‘til now).

Just follow this link since embedding was disabled by this certain user. Awww! :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAdiOvXJYEw

But yesterday (thanks to Aiai’s playlist), I discovered Meatloaf and M2M Chick, Marione Raven’s rendition. Man, I was enthralled by their video. The aura was a ‘lil bit heavy and I could somehow sense the character’s remorse, scruple and ignominy.



The ethereal effects of Marione are really great and astounding. :)

for everyone
Hey there!

Just an importance notice for you to know.

And yeah, for those na magpapagawa ng personalized themes, I can accept requests BUT, there's a BIG BUT - it would take longer since I really have a tight schedule for this month:

  • Looooooong exams on various subjects (And I don't want to fail.. HAHA)
  • Field Trips (plus field trip REPORTS. Damn)
  • Make up classes (Bio 70 and Physics 3)
  • Loooooong Quizzes (but it really helps)

Sorry for the incovenience. Don't worry. Malapit na ang sembreak namin.. and tatagal yan ng one month. :)))) Hahahaha. It's just, ayoko lang maapektuhan standing and/or academic performance ko sa school because I'm too busy with my online whatnots. Whatever.

Salamat sa pagintindi! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas. HAHAHA. Anong connection.

Just a random thought: Magkasintangkad na kami ng kapatid ko. We're both 5'7 but the thing is, he's only 15. SHOOT. I'm only 5'4 and a half when I was 15. WAAAA. :)))))) Sige nalang. Kesa naman 4'7 ako. LOOOOL.

Blog EntryBloghopping InsightsAug 11, '08 2:27 PM
for everyone
A Random Thought..

Bloghopping is my hobby whenever I get bored. Promise, usually, it would take almost three hours just to read my favorite blogs in the cyberspace.

But today, I have tried something new. No, I didn't discover another wonderful blog. Today, I just read (or reviewed) my blog entries since Day 1. And I would always ponder on to this thought:

Ako ba talaga ang sumulat nito?

Promise! Sometimes, I laugh at it and the feeling's quite awkward. Sometimes I wonder why I wrote this certain entry most especially if the topic's very serious. HAHAHAHA! Mood swings are ubiquitous on to my entries though, HAHA, that is, from euphoric joy, despair, disappointments, anger, boredom, ordinary and nonsense.

I just want my blog to live longer than Dolphy. HAHAHA. And next time, whenever I read my previous posts, I would muse over those good old days. Blogs can be sometimes wordy but the wistful feeling's the same whenever you look in an old photograph.


Blog EntryUnrequited Love.Aug 2, '08 9:56 AM
for everyone
(and I didn't make this crap because I'm in love, just an insight)

Loneliness, your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory, you never let me cry,
And you, you never said goodbye
Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But I never thought you trade your souls to the fates
Never let thought you'd lead me alone

Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting fades away
Alive within your beatless heart
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears.. WITH LOVE.

A Free Verse


Two best friends shared their life together
They have been friends for almost two decades
Far beyond the magniloquence of the world
They saw this fair lady, so sweet, pretty, and witty.
One got enchanted by it and the other didn't pay any attention.
The Former's heart jumped and skipped a beat
While the Latter thought it the fair lady looked like his younger sister.
So the story of Former and the Fair lady started with a bang.
Strings of pearls flew with Former's heart.
The two had been together but it's unofficial.
Mutual Understanding is appropriate.
Since then, they walked, and held each other
Their warm, supple hands make their heart melt into surrealism
Then one day, the fair lady got bored and introduced her best friend,
the Princess of the Fair Waters.
Latter was mesmerized with the Princess's elegance.
Sooner of later, Latter became attached with the Princess,
and the feeling was reverberated by the Princess.
Malevolently, the Fair Lady grabbed latter.
Former was blinded with the four letter word
His ego wants to tell him to inflict an unwanted fight with his best friend
He can't be mad with the Fair Lady, not at all!
Love isn't blind at all, it's him who was blinded by it.
The Princess noticed Former's and The Fair Lady's affair.
..In the end all of them suffered from the Fair Lady's treachery.


A continuous network of fraudulence and lies.

Blog EntryProlific ExistenceJul 31, '08 5:59 PM
for everyone

I have once deemed that my life is but a dreary one.
Back then, I usually rant about things that aren’t going on to my way. But now that I’ve grown into a mature lad, I wish that my life would be a colorful and memorable one. I really like to live in a world full of challenges and trials in life. It makes me stronger – physically and emotionally. I have pondered on how I went through different stages of transformation. I can’t imagine that I’m entering my eighteenth year of existence.

I really like to thank those people who greeted me through text (special mention to those who greeted me from 12.00am – 4.00 am: Gabes, Beatrice, Krista Chippy and Sheara), through my guestbook and through YM. I really, really appreciate it. I wish this would be the most brilliant day of my life.

Brilliant, that is. :)

She likes to call me Kuya, even if she's not my younger sister. She always do that thing for some reasons:

- I really looked like his biological Kuya.. and/or
- She just really likes it. Trip lang kasi cute.

Sweet. So you have asked kung ano ang tawag ko sa kanya?

Simple. I call her Bru, clipped word for BRUHA. HAHAHAHAHA :))))))

Wake up, tapos na ang lesson ng Bio 70. Shyet, first time, tinulugan ang Bio 70! HAHAHAHA :)))

Blog EntrySimple QueryJul 27, '08 9:30 AM
for everyone
Where can I download this version of Isang Daan?
'San ba ako makadedekwat ng version na 'to ng Isang Daan?
Asa man ko kakuha ani oi? PAG SIYOR SA MO HA. :))))

Whatever.



I have already downloaded the raw version of it. Just be sure that the link you're sending is not a virus. I'm sick and tired of it and I don't want to have my files rebooted just because of those pesky worms. Ugggh. OOOOOOHH! I want the Acoustic Version too! :D

Thanks. :) This song is better than UP Ang Galing Mo (just a personal opinion). I'm always peeved by the yuuuuniiiibersidad word in the first part of the song. HAHAHA. =))))) But overall, the LSS Factor of these songs are very strong. In fact, medyo influential na nga siya eh at nakalilift pa ng feeling bilang estudyante ng UP, yung tipong super proud ka dahil taga-UP ka. :))

UP Isang Daan! - natawa talaga ako doon sa isang episode ng PDA. Yan kasi ang sinabi ni Christian Bautista. HAHAHA. At buti nalang binalik ng Imeem ang original na mukha ng player nila. Ubod ng kapangitan kasi ang dati (yung bago, na parang robot na ewan).

ISANG DAAN
(Marie Angelica Dayao)

Isandaang taong pagsisilbi sa bayan
Isandaang taon ng kagitingan
Ginising ang ating puso’t isipan
Mula sa pagkakatulog ng kamalayan

* Isang daan tungo sa karunungan
Isang daan tungo sa kagalingan
Daan na tinuro ng ating pamantasang hirang
Inilaan para sa ’ting mga anak ng bayan

Dumating man ang hangin ng pagbabago
Iskolar, huwag patitinag itaas ang kamao
Kasing lawak at ‘sing taas ng langit
Ang abot ng isipan mo

(Repeat *)

Magbago man ang panahon
Pamantasan nati’y ‘di patatalo
Iskolar ng bayan noon at ngayon
Laging angat sa iba

Isang daan tungo sa karunungan
Isang daan tungo sa kagalingan
Isang daan tungo sa karunungan
Isang daan tungo sa kagalingan

(Repeat *)

Tingtoottoot..

Click.. click.. tick..


MAHAL NA ANG BIGAS, pero sa (insert Cellular Phone Company here! You only have THREE CHOICES!), LIBRE PA RIN ANG RINGBACK TONE NG LOW! Just text..

scroll.. scroll, DELETE.

Pucha, grabe na talaga ang marketing strategy ngayon. I guess desperation rings a bell on to the present situation of our country. HAHAHAHA :))) Grabe, imagine, kinompare ang ringback tone sa bigas.

A big NGEK to them.

"The pain of life overrides the joy the point that joy does not exist."
Kevin Carter, 1994


Kevin Carter's famed photo."Seeking relief from the sight of masses of people starving to death, he wandered into the open bush. He heard a soft, high-pitched whimpering and saw a tiny girl trying to make her way to the feeding center. As he crouched to photograph her, a vulture landed in view. Careful not to disturb the bird, he positioned himself for the best possible image. He would later say he waited about 20 minutes, hoping the vulture would spread its wings. It did not, and after he took his photographs, he chased the bird away and watched as the little girl resumed her struggle. Afterward he sat under a tree, lit a cigarette, talked to God and cried. "He was depressed afterward," Silva recalls. "He kept saying he wanted to hug his daughter. (Scott MacLeod)"

So, tama pa rin ba na ikukumpara ang ringback tone sa bigas? Hindi siya nakatatawa kung iisipin, ito'y isang malaking kahihiyan.

Blog EntryDrooling and GooglingJul 20, '08 9:56 AM
for everyone
Yes, I'm a bummer.

Try this and be amazed by the power of search engines. I tried on googling my name and I was a bit surprised on some anonymous comments coming from other sites. Hahaha. I was glued in my monitor for a moment (while answering Mon's query about Unit Vectors & Addition) and I was very mesmerized by those comments given by people that I didn't know personally. Lol. A smile lingers on to my quaint face whenever I read those comments (can be in a form of compliment or constructive criticisms).

So if you want to know if someone's talking on to you in a cyber manner (and if you're lucky that the content is for everyone), just type your name on the google search engine (it also works on other search engines like yahoo or msn). Who knows, maybe you're the latest talk of the town. Daig niyo pa ang mga artista na sangkot sa intriga. Lol.

And I'm glued with this song: Dust in the Wind. I've tried playing this on piano and I have to admit that it's quite tricky. It took me thirty minutes before I finally figured the pattern. Siiiigh. Wish ko sana, sembreak na ngayon. I missed my former "bummer-yet-productive" lifestyle. HAHAHA.



Blog EntryUPCAT Tips and TricksJul 19, '08 5:13 AM
for everyone
Lo' and behold. The second and third day of August is coming, TO HAUNT YOOOOOOOUU!



Scared and nervous of that date? Well, you shouldn't, future freshmeat! 'Coz I, Sir Marione of Kingdom Lancellote will teach you some tips and tricks on taking the most difficult college entrance exam of the Philippines, the UPCAT.

UPCAT is composed of four areas (English, Math, Science, and Reading Comprehension). Here are some basic facts about UPCAT:

  • You can only take this exam ONCE.
  • The exam follows the "right-minus-wrong" rule. Meaning, if you commit a mistake, you'll not be only deducted by that, you'll also be deducted by 1/4 or 0.25 point if you commit a mistake.
  • Almost 80,000 aspirants will take this exam, but only 10,000 - 15,000 will pass. Most of them didn't meet on to the quota of their course.

Let's start on choosing the course (though it's too late..)

  • Choose a course that's appropriate with your interest/s.
  • If you're confident about your skills and intelligence, then choose a Quota course (Biology, Engineering, MBB, etc)
  • If you're uncertain that you'll pass this entrance exam but you really want to pursue your studies in UP, choose a non quota course like Clothing Technology, Geology, Geography in Diliman. (Correct me if I'm wrong). Then if you've passed this non quota course, take this in one semester and shift to your own choice of course. It's easier when you've passed UPCAT. On shifting to other UP college, one must wait at least one year and earn at least 30 academic units. Shifting may take time and money but the experience is truly astounding and worthwhile. :)

Alright muchos and sissies, here are the tips and tricks when taking this most hyped entrance exam of every high school senior:

  • One. Taking an UPCAT review in a review center is not that effective. Three years in high school is too much, otherwise if you're fond of daydreaming about your crush during your Geometry and Calculus class, or drawing your Chemistry teacher's rugged face or just sleep whenever you hear those terms related to Trigonometry. But if you want to, then it's your choice.
  • Two. Arrive on your test centers ON TIME. I know you don't want your fellow takers to see you crying and begging on one of the exam proctors. That's pathetic.
  • Three. Take your time on answering the exam. If you find this certain item difficult, skip to an easier item. If you find all items difficult.. OH DEAR, what a total disaster. You'll just regret that you slept on Mr. Krung-krung's Calculus class, or Madame Bungjung's Literature class. Make sure that you're certain with your answer. Otherwise, you want to take the risk of answering all test qustions, like what I did, forgetting the right-minus-wrong rule. Oops. Fortuntately, I passed. HAHAHA :)))
  • Four. Pray. Yes, this is really effective. DO NOT ASK God for answers or some divine interventions, rather, just ask God for guidance.
  • Five. Sleep early. Cramming will not help and a one-day review will just contribute to bleeding of nasal cavity or worse, brain damage.
  • Six. Do not bring Mcdo, Jollibee, Yellowcab or any heavy meals inside the room (though meals aren't prohibited). This would lead to major distractions, and this doesn't occur on to you, you'll affect the entire class since they just smelled the luscious aroma of your BigMac. Candies are enough.
  • Seven. Do not panic. This is one of the reasons why students flunk in UPCAT.
  • Eight. Do not answer your previous exam, like if you're taking the Science part and wish to return to the English part (say, English is the previous part of the exam) to answer some questions, then this would lead to disqualification of taking the exam. Remember, honesty is the best policy.
  • Nine. Release those unwanted shits on from your body system before taking exam. I know you don't want to have a crappy result just because you just think of releasing your crap during the exam.

After taking the exam, unwind yourself. Relax. You still have five to six months before the UP will release the final results of the exam. You'll experience the Euphoric feeling whenever you'll see your name on the UPCAT Online Result website. You're just one step closer to fame if you passed this exam, really.

So future freshmeats, I hope these tips from yours truly will be a great help to you.

One more thing, it's not the end of the world if you flunk this exam. There are many UPCAT flunkers who have been successful through time. But the fact that passing the UPCAT is a great advantage.

*Wink.

"An overburdened overstretched executive is the best executive, because he or she doesn’t have the time to meddle, to deal in trivia, to bother people."

-Jack Welch

Dealing with difficult people can make your life and your job miserable. Beyond a point, you cannot control difficult people. You can only control how you react to them. If these difficult people consistently anger or intimidate you, or simply rattle your cage, they ultimately control you. In dealing with difficult people, it begs us to ask the question, "Might I be a difficult person?!" We can all possess difficult people traits, but what about those individuals who are this way all the time?

3 Tips to Remember When Dealing with Difficult People

1) First learn and understand their behavior patterns. When are these people most difficult? What types of behavior makes them difficult people? Are they difficult only with you or with others as well?

2) Don’t argue with overly aggressive or excessively difficult people. These individuals often have a desire for dissension and thrive on chaos. By arguing and wanting to "win" it only adds fuel to the fire.

3) Don’t take their behavior personally. Often, they are impossible to be around because of something going on with them.

5 Common Types of Difficult People

  • Complainer/Whiner/Negativist: Research shows these difficult people often have an excessive need to be liked and want sympathy. By complaining and being negative, they think they’ll gain attention. These difficult people gain attention but not in a positive way. It pays to be tactfully direct with the negativist. For example, saying to them, "I understand this is something you want to talk about, and at the same time I want to make sure I get back to performing my work." Dealing with difficult people this way will usually cause them to move on to someone else; a more "captive audience" who they think will listen to their excessive whining.

Another key phrase is to say, "Pat, I want to bring something to your attention, and you may not even be aware of it. When you come in to work first thing in the morning complaining to the other staff about our new policy, it’s beginning to look like a lot of negativity. I just wanted to mention it because you may not be aware of how you’re coming across." If you think they’re already aware of it, explain it to them anyway. Dealing with difficult people requires diplomacy and tact.

  • Know-it-All: Listen and know what drives them. When dealing with a know-it-all like this, ask yourself if they seem to have an excessive need for control. Or, do they seem insecure, but want to appear to have all the facts on just about everything? Maybe these difficult people are threatened by you. First, let the know-it-all vent within reason. Often, once they’ve let out all their "hot air," then they’ll be more likely to listen to you. If not, and they start talking over you, it may be necessary to say, "So and so, I really have listened to everything you have to say about such-and-such, and if you’d give me just a moment, I can help you as far as….." Be direct, yet polite and tactful.
  • Exploder: When dealing with difficult people such as the exploder proceed with caution. Wait until they’re finished "erupting" and have "cooled their jets." You may be better off not saying much at all. Approach them again when they are in a good mood. If they are never in a good mood, approach them when they are in a better mood.
  • Sniper: Dealing with difficult people who stealthily throw little digs your way are tricky contenders. After they toss innuendos in a sometimes sarcastic tone and you show that you’re hurt, they accuse you of having "no sense of humor."

In this case, consider ignoring them altogether. In the future they’ll be less likely to throw in little digs because they won’t get the reaction they’re looking for from you. As Zig Ziglar once said, "No one can get your goat if they don’t know where it’s tied up."

  • Gossip: These difficult people either are bored, don’t have enough to occupy their time, or simply like to make others look bad and themselves look good. Gossips don’t realize that when they’re gossiping about everyone else, that people are silently wondering, "I wonder what she/he says about me when I’m not around?!" Sometimes gossips "gossip" as a distraction and to procrastinate important tasks.

Often what they’re gossiping about doesn’t even affect them. Next time this happens, listen intently, then politely say, "And how does this affect you?" They’ll get the point. Be very careful, however, with your tone of voice. You do not want to come across at all as sarcastic. Besides, the latin root of "sarcasm" is "sarco" meaning tearing of the flesh!

  • Difficult People = Different People. It’s been said that difficult people are often "different" people. Often a person appears difficult because they are so different from us. Dealing with difficult people isn’t easy. It takes practice to learn how to deal with them effectively.

If you are forced to interact with certain difficult people at times consider the following: keep the conversation light. Talk about "news, weather, and sports" and nothing else. Don’t let them press those buttons

And I think this article really helps in your daily life. Just avoid those vermin shits. HAHAHA :))))))
