DEJA VU

An early vacation happened this week (August 7-13, 2012) because of a calamaity happened in Manila. Areas in Manila and other regions were flooded for four days. Which was the reason why government and our school administration decided to cancel classes and resume it after a week.

I can't imagine why the same calamity happened again in our country after 2 years. The first one was in 2009 when Typhoon Ondoy brough flood in Manila and other regions and now in 2012 Southwest moonsoon brought flood again and left more than 12 people dead. 

In my assessment, Filipinos haven't learned anything from our previous experiences in flood. They still throw their rabbish in the streets, drainage and even in rivers. I think people should learned personal discipline and also respect to the environment. 

Even though same thing happened what was important was the good value that Filipino showed during the calamity. There was a quotation that came out in social media sites like facebook and twitter that FILIPINO SPIRIT IS WATER PROOF. Many organizations set up relief operations in their communities to help the flood victims. Indeed,many Filipinos still value BAYANIHAN. Right now, some families still stay in evacuation centers, others looking for a relocation site because they no longer want to stay in their house because they micght expereince flood again and others still stay in their house and hoping for a new beginning.

Aside from the things happened in our country I also want to share my personal life, last August 7, 2012 because of miscommunication in twitter I have faced a traumatic experience. I posted a tweet in our student government account on twitter to remind students that PSG is not in twitter to be insulted but to inform and still respected... But what happaned was, many students reacted and I felt being bullied, my name and personality was judged. However after one day, a mass communication student in my university posted a tweet informing everyone that we just had a miscommunication and everything became clear and the issue ended. However, I will still sue the other student who was very disrespectful in twitter. :)

Yesterday Saturday I slept late to watch football match between Mexico and Brazil. I find football more interesting than basketball. Why? Because I have experienced to watch a live football match between Leverkusen Germany and Spain last October 2011. Also, I watched the replay of semi finals of 10m Men diving event and final women's volleyball match between Brazil and America. I'm happy that Brazil won the gold. Those Brazilian girls drove my head crazy because of their beautiful body and healtyh bums. hehehe

Today is Sunday (August 12, 2012) and I'm very happy. I'm happy because after a month I was able to attend and hear Holy Mass again. It made me feel so refreshed and blessed. 

However, I'm still upset and puzzled on how I and my partner will finish our thesis on time. I still beleieve that we can finish on time but for the mean time we'll just wait for the classes to resume and wait for Wednesday to come for us to consult with our statistician.

Tomorrow is another week to start. I will woke up at 4 am in the morning to watch the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. I'm a bit addicted to Olympics. I hope for the 2016 Rio Olympics Philippines will have more athletes to join and hopefully they can already bring home medals for our country to end medal drought since 1996.

Lastly, Deja Vu was the title of the post is beacauseI felt that I'm still in London because of the Olympics... I really miss London. When I was 19 years old (that was last year), I got an opportunity to go to UK and see the beauty of London. I hope next year 2013, I'll be accepted as peer facilitator in GYS 2013.

But wait, I'm hpoing for the best with all my applications that I have submittedfor all intrnational contests and affiliations. I hope God will bless me more this coming months. Lord have mercy please let me become accepted. I'm really begging you.

Wait, I'm excited too because my aunt who lived in Libya for two years will have here vacation in the Philippines on September 2. :) Yehey...
