Hindi ako pumasok ngayon hehe.  Bakit?  'La lang, para ba mag-blog?  Pwede hehe.  Hindi BIRO lang.  Hindi ako pumasok kasi sa sobrang pagkatamad ko sa mga nagdaang araw, kailangang matapos basahin ang ilang chapters sa Cost Accounting para sa 1st quiz namin bukas.  Kung marami na sana akong nabasa, pumasok dapat ako ngayon.  Eh ano pang ginagawa ko dito bakit hindi ako nagaaral?  Kasi medyo natapos ko na hehe.  Akala ko mahaba-haba pa ang kailangan kong basahin eun pala kahit pumasok pa ako, matatapos ko rin naman. Tsk sayang tuloy "absent" na naman ako.  Well, pahinga muna ang lolo niyo medyo hindi rin maganda 'pag nasobrahan sa pag-aaral eh.  Para sa akin mas mabuti na ang kulang kaysa sobra hehe.  Do I make sense?  Hindi sa iba, pero sa akin oo hehe.  Tska isa pa, iba ang takbo ng utak ko 'pag nag-cracramming, mas naiintindihan ko ang binabasa ko hehe.  Ooops ano nga ba ang pinangako kong "entry" from my previous entry?  'Yunnn, naalala ko na, kung bakit hindi ko basta-basta iiwan 'tong blogging.  Kaya what i've blogged for nga ba??

I've blogged for ME, as simple as that hehe   But let me elaborate on that one.  Sabi ng marami, "to express myself."  Hmmm eh bakit kailangan pang ilagay sa Net at makita ng buong mundo, kung pwede namang ilabas ang saloobin sa isang diarrhea ayyy DIARY pala.  Well, sino nga namang makakabasa ng diary kundi ang may-ari lang, hindi ba?  Nasaan ang tinatawag na "readers?"  Tska isa pa, hindi naman ako bakla para bumili ng sariling diary na may lock pa, babae lang kasi ang madalas gumagawa ng mga ganung chuva ek ek.  Tarushhh haha   Totoo, na nag-bloblog ako kasi may nagbabasa.  Pero I'm NOT into quantity, but I'm into the QUALITY of readers.  Ibig sabihin lang nun(in my own case) ganito: Kung mapapansin ninyo, wala akong maikling entry, kung meron man, hindi ko napansin, kasi nga pagkaalam ko wala talaga akong maikling entry, puro mahahaba.  Kaya sa dinami-dami ng mga blogs na nagsusulputan, sino ba namang may oras magbasa ng mahahabang entries?  Kung meron man, sobrang kaunti lalo na 'pag wala kang kakilala masyado na nagbabasa ng mga entries mo.  Kaya nga dahil sa haba ng mga entries ko(o dahil walang kwenta na rin hehe), I doubt that I could ever gain many readers, pero ang mga "kaunting" readers o ang nagbabasa ngayon na pinagtiyatiyagaan ako, ibig sabihin may quality ka nga talaga, anong quality naman ang meron ka?  Ano pa?  Edi PATIENCE hehe.  Maraming bloggers ang may "concern" sa kanilang mga readers, mostly ganitong concern: GAANO SILA KARAMI?  Katulad nang nasabi ko, wala akong pakialam talaga kung isa lang ang nagbabasa nito, basta mayroong nagbabasa, OK na ako.  In short, I don't blog to gain many readers 'cause as I've just said, I've blogged for ME.  And besides, if one honest voice is louder than the crowd, could it be one quality reader is more than traffic hehe? 

Secondly, ngayon lang ako nakakita ng mabangis na paraan kung saan pwedeng i-project ang talent mo kung ikaw ay mahilig both sa web development/design and writing.  Hindi mo magagawa yun sa diary kasi wala namang HTML dun hehe.  Eh nagkataong mahilig ako sa dalawang un at eung paraan na un ay MABANGIS nga para mai-project ang mga ek ek.

Ito ang pinakaimportante sa lahat kung bakit pa ako nagpapatuloy mag-blog.  99.9% sa loob lang ng isang araw, madalas ganito ang lumalabas sa bibig ko: "Tsong, paano 'pag insignificant ang amount ng underapplied o overapplied factory overhead, tama bang i-charge na lang 'to sa cost of goods sold?"  Sa madaling sabi, puro na lang Accounting ang lumalabas sa bibig ko and therefore what's the effect?  Sa sobrang busy, minsan nakakalungkot isipin na majority of all accounting students have never REFLECTED since the time they became so preoccupied with such "hellish" course.  That's the reason why I've blogged and that's to basically reflect 'bout myself by writing it through this.  Kung hindi naman Accounting, I doubt it if you can decide to tell what's inside you or even your problems to your daily acquaintances.  Pwede sa isang tao lang, pero you can't expect him/her to be "available" always.  Madalas niyo sigurong pag-usapan magkakaibigan ay mga JOKES at tuksuhan tungkol sa mga ka-loveteam ng bawat isa.  Totoong sukang-suka na rin tayo minsan sa ganitong banatan o buhay na rin.  Nasa gimikan ka man o wala, maniwala ka man sa akin o hindi, nasa magandang CONVERSATION pa rin nakasalalay ang lahat.  Kaya kahit nasa gimikan ka man gabi-gabi, kung walang kwenta ang magiging "usapan" at puro na lang sayawan, pustahan tayo, malulungkot ka pa rin.  Kaya sa blog, pwedeng mabuhos ang lahat kung wala kang matinong kausap sa araw-araw.  So is it logical for me to conclude na wala akong matinong kausap araw-araw?  Kinda hahahaha

What I've been up to hehe?  What took me SO long to blog these past days?  Well, if my memory serves me right, it was on Friday(July 14th) when I was admitted to the hospital after having fever for 5 days straight.  Why?  Well, when my fever had finally gone, my blood was re-taken for a count and to my family's surprise, it dramatically dropped.  BINGO!  It was a bit hysterical on my part to conlude this thing instantly-facing the fact that I'm indeed no superhuman NOT to be a  victim of another suspected dengue case.  But up to now, I've strongly insisted that it wasn't dengue and concluded perhaps more rightly that I'm a superhuman FOR it manifested no clear symptoms for it to legitimately become one hehe.  But still, just to make sure that I'm going to live, I just let the doctor pin my thick nerve to let some fluids pass through my blood stream and brought my ass to a hospital bed.  Good thing is, that week was a "typhoon week" so most classes were suspended and so I didn't miss so much, just a BA quiz and those dirty methods to allocate service costs(I think it was already too much hehe).  So after being extremely bored and bedridden just for a day in the hospital, I had to catch things up, I really had to understand on my own how to allocate service costs.  And I wasn't so succesful because when we finally had the second quiz about it, I wasn't so conditioned to solve it with confidence and ease especially the step method so I simply let items about it blank.  I hope I did GOOD on that quiz nonetheless *sighs*

The past weeks this July had really been devastating(right adjective).  For those two typhoons that had cut our power(I mean electric) really made me realize how severely "boring" it can be when brown-out does strike.  The things I've been used to do when lights are on couldn't just be done like watching TV and studying(no matter how this sucks big time hehe).  So imagine when lights are out, what would you do at least productively?  In my case, I had no choice but to fantasize even the nastiest hehe.  A sudden fantasy like yours truly joining Philippine Idol riding on a horseback wearing my bus conductor-like Accountancy uniform foolishly singing "Hold Your Head Up High."  And fantasizing about how I can possibly work as a writer in Summit's FHM Magazine despite what my resume would unfold revealing that I'm a dorky financial planner.  So that's why I've hated brown-outs because I don't want to fantasize those or talk about how I idolize the R&B singer JR so dearly with my family.  So much for this sharing hehe.  Let me now write with a little sense.
 
Last Saturday just before our last subject came, I was sitted on my proper sit and I saw Marrian's(undoubtedly one hell of a beauty and a seatmate) review materials on my armchair and brought them back to her and saying this, "Mai, reviewers mo."  She seemed shocked and replied back to me saying, "Anong sabi mo?"  Confused and I answered, "Anong sabi ko?!"  What she really meant was "what name I called her."  So I simply answered, "Mai."  And guess what, she was so delighted after I had called her by her nickname and at first I thought it was a bit overkill, well at first.  So much delighted when I just called her by her other name, come on bre, isn't it a little overkill?  But then again NO.  When I was inside an fx on my way home, I usually do a routine check-up(that's how I call it for now), a check-up about "how my day went."  So on that day, aside from the realization about that day that I, once again, let my classmates burst into laughter during Tax subject when I recited quite a joke, I came into thinking why Marrian was so much delighted when she was called by her nickname.  I had thought quickly before knowing her delightful reaction that I somehow offended her by calling her that comfortably for we're not even that close.  But see, I was wrong.  She was so delighted.  So I came into thinking as to why.  And I immediately remembered one person that could perhaps give all of us one good reason as to why she has become that delightful.  That person is Dale Carnegie.  I used to read the all-time bestselling book he authored How to Win Friends and Influence People when I was still at the dawn of reasoning during High School.  And I quickly remembered one cardinal rule from that book and it appropriately answered as to why she'll be so amused when people would try to call her by her name(and her nickname in her case),  here's a quote(would be better to share to give everyone of us an idea the secret to become a legendary bestseller hehe):

"It's the sweetest sound to anyone's ears. When you use a person's name, you personalize your message; it becomes their own. It also communicates that you care and that you find the person memorable. It's a deceptively simple tool to lower people's guards, since it establishes a bond."

Memorable hmmm.  Honestly, I usually call her Marrian but I believe I accidentally(blame my subconscious for it) slipped my tongue and called her by her nickname because I remember reading our class directory and I saw her other name and so I unknowingly called her that and never did I imagine that she'll be delighted afterwards.  It could be the sweetest sound to her ears at least on that day.  I did personalize the message perhaps MORE.  Of course, it's not that I cared(it was just for the reviewers for God sake hehe).  But yes, I've found the person memorable(class directory hehe) and am hoping she'll lower her guard haha.  JOKE!  So if you've already had a special someone, instead of calling her baby, honey, ice monster, do Dale Carnegie a favor, and just call him/her by her/his name.  Remember that's the sweetest sound to anyone's ears hehe.  So for the love of my Mama, stop calling me Dennis Trillo, call me RC haha   Never did I imagine before that simple things like this could indeed be so deceptively effective   Sorry for my long absence btw hehe
