Manila, iBlog5 And Many More

iBlog5: The 5th Philippine Blogging Summit

Am I already old enough that I am slowly reaching my dreams? A month from now, I will be in Manila, Diliman specifically, to attend the iBlog5. The iBlog5: The 5th Philippine Blogging Summit will be on May 9, 2009 (exactly a month from now) at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, from 8 am to 5 pm. Registration is free. All you need is a blog, what else? After the summit, there will be a sponsored after party! Ooh yeah.

I only heard of the Blogging Summit event this year. I did not know it has happened before. I am thankful I heard of it. It then got me thinking if I would attend or not given that I still have my OJT during that time. But I have decided, well I bought my tickets already, so there’s no turning back. I hope there would be many from CBS to attend the event. It would be really good for amateur bloggers like us to learn from the pros in the talks that would be given.

For more information, visit the official website. See the set of activities and talks here. Register for free here.

See you all at the iBlog5 Blogging Summit!

UP Diliman!

Phew, I can’t extinguish the excitement. I’ve been wanting to go to UP Diliman, which I consider our mother school, since last year because of the centennial celebration of our school. Our then plan to go there last December 2008 via Masbate-Bicol road trip didn’t push through because as usual, studies were demanding more attention. I never thought I could go there as early as 2009.

We from UP Cebu, though not all, are quite hungry at the prospect of going to UP Diliman. I am one of them. And going there next month is like a dream come true. Well of course at the expense of my savings. HAHA.

Manila, Yo!

And Manila. I know Cebu is still a better place to live in than Manila (except for the concerts), but I still wanted to see and feel how Manila runs. I’ve been to farther places but they always say Manila is exciting, so I better see. I just wanna try. The malls, the people, the sights, everything! So that when I go back to Cebu I would be filled with many many memories. And the amusement parks too! I think I could go to one! Rawr.

All of those are to happen within a month’s time. Yes, far from now, but I am too excited. Anyways, I still have so many things to accomplish before that to happen. I am doing poorly in adjusting to my workplace, which I admit. I am always poor in interacting with a new crowd. I need at least 5 days of meeting these people so I could get comfortable. Maybe this Monday I would greet each one of them “Good morning” and visit them on their respective stations. HAHA, kidding.

Anyways, I can’t wait for the adventure of my life to begin. Besides from traveling alone, I would be on my own in finding the place where I would stay. Thank you very to the nth power much Vanjohnn for “being so charitable” and for allowing me to stay at your place.

I can’t wait, really. To all iBlog5 participantes, see you there! Wee lotsa new faces to meet! Friends friends!

Pseudo-Friendships And New Ones

While browsing through the latest from Multiply, I came across Dardarness‘ blog post entitled pseudo-friendships, hence the title of this post. I acknowledge her for the term. She is quite a witty person. Anyways, she said that

friendship follows a very complex and unpredictable architecture (architecture wut?) and one is always different from the other. the beautiful ones just came to be, as well as the really, really ugly friendships that make you cringe just at the thought that you are in any way a part of them.

Somewhat after reading the post, and usually this part,

but there are also so-so friendships that have lasted for quite some time, and just lately, I realized that I have no freaking idea how the hell i could’ve hit it off with these types of people because, foremost, there is no way i could’ve possibly hit it off with people i absolutely have nothing in common with. and are such phonies.

I felt that I could relate. Given the past events of my life at school, this post by Darliza is very applicable. Sometimes, we get so close with people, for many years we do, and suddenly, like a glass breaking, everything takes off and you realize you never were meant to be good and real friends after all. I don’t normally take this kind of talk to freaky and serious levels but I have to adjust to given situations. I just can’t be a sedentary nutshell all my life.

This is an ugly friendship. HAHA

Anyways, back to the story. The test of real friendship is the test. HAHA. Stupid.

Sometimes we live our life banging our heads in the walls of our pseudo-friendships; we just don’t know. And if luck doesn’t bereave us of itself, we get the real, good ones. And they’re the ones we just don’t want to replace. Let’s enjoy the big, laughing-gas-filled bubble.

Another story.

I felt good I got many new friends from CBS. I feel comfortable now with these people, which I struggle to do normally. Finally, I am living a good life…a good work place, good old friends (J-A-D) and good new ones, a lot of new ones.

What will inspire me at work the next two weeks will be the thought of the camp out. This better be good.

Again, thank you for the good get-together last night. I enjoyed it so much. Such events happen to me rarely as I always trap myself in front of my laptop whenever I have nothing to do.

Thank you people. See you the soonest.

Missing A Friend I Felt I Just Lost

Before I start ranting about my personal life, I’d like to say yesterday was very fun, exciting and most of all, challenging. Finally, I have been given the chance to meet a lot of my Plurk friends and the rest of the Cebu Bloggers Society. For me, it was challenging, because I don’t usually meet new people when I am alone. But I just did. A milestone, phew! Just excuse me for the silence. I am loud really, but not on the first few times.

And so, after the meeting, it is then when I thought about a very close friend who recently have not been in good terms with me and some of my other friends because of an unknown killer issue which we really can’t point out. *zombies* It is my habit to share everything that happened, is happening or will happen to me to this close friend. But because of the recent incident, I felt that all my sharings are stuck up within me (though I tried to relate it to others, but they can’t relate). I know she is not the culprit of the gaddamit “issue” but she sort of sided to the culprit hence I felt betrayed (where it usually leads to disappointment). I kept on denying that I miss her company as didz kept on asking me about it. But I really do. I could not talk about Heroes to other people but this friend. I could not talk about my pets, the movies I watched, my new friends, my prospects, my stalkers *evil grin* and everything to others except this friend who shows great appreciation on all that I have to say. But as the saying goes, “this too shall pass”, we will be back to normal soon. Except for the culprit who has issues. C’mon, stop copying from quotation websites. Kidding!

And while I am writing this, a dreaded oral exam is looming. Wish me luck so I would not go blank in front of the teacher. Damn you Descartes, Ayer, Gaddamer, Kant and all of you philosophers, just for today.
