-This is the story of a girl-

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world. Hahah, I miss 90's music a lot. Anyway, I thought I'd write something and express the thoughts in my head, heart and soul. Are we alone? Even in the train with the sound of the breathing of the person next to you, the playlist of another playing so loudly that you can hear it from his Dr.Dre "heart beats" and yet you still feel invisible and that they don't exist. Do you pray with your eyes close and at that moment you begin to imagine what it is you want or need? Life is an endless movement of pulls and pushes and so you know that the earth and it's heliocentric reality actually exists. Stay on the bright side of things and make sure you know which way you're going and how you plan to get there. Our fates are basically intertwined with the actions and decisions we make (opinionated) and that's when our lives will start mixing in a bowl of sociological proportions. Ask not for everything, but ask for the things that matter. Have a good one and God bless...

-Are you a fan?-

I have finally made up my mind to really grasp to accept how unfair the world is. Imagine staying in line for 3 hours for nothing but false hope and these dumb people making a quick buck and also at the same time laze around and wait for it all to get to you :( First, please please PLEASE, may the ticketing system be a little fair to those buying tickets for the next Azkals game on 28th. Imagine nearly a hundred people in line and the line stays like that for hours and at the end of the day when you step to the counter, finished, what you stayed in line for and waited for, is FINISHED!!! I don't think there should be anymore seat numbers, because 1) people think that closer is better, PLEASE!! 2) and please consider others who are also standing in line for hours, while you take your sweet time choosing a spot 3) if you're gonna go there just for the "FACT" that you're gonna go there, then you don't deserve your tickets. It's a FOOTBALL game, not a fashion show. EYES ON THE BALL, NOT JUST THE GUYS!!! Others are actually there to support our football, and give the support the team has deserved for skills, not for looks!! Let's not spoil the name of football by turning it into another, crazy fad and when they make mistakes, are you still gonna be behind them?? Another issue brought up by kuya in line with us where the fact that people buy the cheap tickets and sell it for THRICE their price. How about those who stood in line and were disappointed; ever thought about them for ONCE??!! Yes, life isn't fair for everyone, but who ever told you that burdening others will get you to SUCCESS?? Hmmm, I don't normally post thins like these, but I hope people are aware of those destroying the game. If our PLAYERS weren't all good looking, would it make the lines shorter?? Would it make those buying tickets and abusing the price disappear?? If you truly support the BEAUTIFUL GAME, first, learn the rules and finally love it for the GAME and not for the GUYS. If ever I don't get tickets in time, I'll still be watching at home with pride, win or lose. I'll still watch the next games, I'll still stand in line for hours; wanna know why? Because I AM a fan. God bless the team...

-The pursuit of happiness-

Sociology class was quite an interesting class.I have always admired learning how a social group works and how it seems to affect our lives. Our project for the sem is to make a documentary about social issues, and we got poverty. Yeah, I know the word that is cousins with hunger,sadness, homelessness and all that other stuff, but when you actually start doing it and 'socializing' with the people under the cloud of poverty, it paints a totally different picture. You'll hear heartbreaking stories of families left behind and that their source of income can only be streched for so far that sometimes eating is the only thing that they're actually working for. Their kids go to school, basically public and have lunch money of 3pesos to 10pesos, imagine people who eat lunch and have something else after that. Are we not lucky? I think it's really more meaningful if a person was to live for a cause that will make very much sense. To live is to know that you're making a difference in th world and the life of others. At the end of this documentary, I wanna be sure that we'll be able to give these people hope and also show others that if all row the boat at the same time, we can change the current of life. We are the change, nothing else...

-I'm standing-

In the office one day, they told me to watch a movie called "Taken" and so I did, to my surprise, I nearly couldn't sleep wathing the movie. No, it ain't a horror movie but it's about how women are 'taken' against their will and sold as prostitutes against their will. The criminals would drug them and then tie them up for men to ''enjoy''. It was a sad sight to see, but I watched it to understand it. More than millions of women are trafficked from countries in Asia, Africa and even Europe and America. Our government are taking major steps to avoid our fellow women to be dragged into this kind of life, but how sure can we be that they're not involved? In a modern civilization, money speaks louder than any human right, but that's what we should all fight for, what we should all stand for, because if we don't, then, who will?? Everyday at least 60 women are forced into human trafficking and 90% of them will be in the sex trade. Someone's mother, sister, aunt or even daughter is out there making another tycoon rich, and yet we sit in our cozy homes doing nothing. The CNN has lauched a 'HOPE' campaign for people to stand up against trafficking and slavery. They encourage us to send pictures or videos and so I did. With this being said, I hope you do too, save a mother, sister, daughter, girl; woman. God bless. It's time, to stand up...

-Time passes-

After not being able to blog for eons, I have been approached by a friend and so today I blog. Let's see, LPU is now in the NCAA, props to the school for finally getting us involved. Opening was definitely the bomb, aside from the fact that Mr.Manny Pacquaio was there haha :) After that came the most epic game in football history where the Azkals destroyed the Sri Lankan Brave Reds with a 4-0 win for the Brazil World Cup Qualifying game. Our next opponent is Kuwait and as the days pass by, the team will take a break and continue their hardwork to make our country proud, especially in the field on football. I've always been waiting for feedback about the football games that LPU will be playing for the NCAA. I was never a jock in my span of life, but lately I seem to learn more about what sports really do for a social community. Aside from raising great athletes, we also learn discipline, a mutual respect and of course honor to whatever color we wear. A nation will an should stand by it's athletes both it times of triumph and in times of defeat for the world is round and victories along with defeats will always continue to cloud our lives, but it will definitely bring both sunshine and rain. There are still numerous events I'm waiting to go to with beloved friends and family, but for now, exams are just around the corner so I'd have to get my act in place. For now, I'd like to give a shout out to the LPU Pirates "VIVA LARGA PIRATA" and to the AZKALS, you can count on it that "WE BELIEVE" and will continue on, for we have faith in you. God bless...

Philippine Azkals and LPU Pirates FTW!!! :)
