This is not the first time I have thought of moving to a new blog. I was worn-out from work one afternoon when I passed by a group of students from my high school when I first had that idea. But I immediately resigned from that thought. I love my blog and I wanted to retain its name. I managed to convince myself that it’s just an effect of me being too tired and missing my life when I was still in high school. I just went on planning how I can upgrade my blog to a second season.
One morning when I was feeling down, I woke up wanting to open a new blog address right away. Before the sun set that same day, I have settled to stay where I was.
Now that I’m living in the adult world, o realized that keeping me in The Campus does not do anything good for me. It just hinders me from growing up. TRUE---I love my school so well, and ideally that shouldn’t matter. But it just covers the beauty of my present life. The secret of every successful person is not determined by his ability to plan well. The secret to success is being able to enjoy life and live at present. Many times, whenever we are afraid of something, we tend to prevent things from happening. What we can be overlooking, is the possibility of life from living.
Moving my self forward, I must learn to leave things where they are and walk towards my Personal Legend; for all is written in a master plan where no one is overpowered. We are just heated metals, being prepared to later become gold.
I always say: The world is a big Campus; and everyone is enrolled in a master's degree called LIFE… What I often forget…in this course, I am enrolled with a student name---and that’s far way better to nourish than any wall found in this campus.
Leaving the Campus will never be easier for me. It has been three long years... But each time I would think of the campus, I would remind myself that I am helping it follow its own personal legend...while I follow mine.

Love Advice Para Kay Bartolome
I've got this when my cousin was reading a blog. It took my attention...and re-posted it. It was credited to Bob Ong. Within three days, I received comments regarding the credits. Juan Ekis claims that he is the one who wrote the article in Febuary 2008 for Starfish Magazine. VPE, the publisher of Bob Ong disclaims the article.
I could still remember when I read an email containing the same. If you happen to be one of those who forwarded that email, you may want to review and correct it.
To date, the following article that is posted below is the one found at Multiplied by the power of X and x marks the spot respectively.
Dear Juan Ekis,
Matagal ko na pong nililigawan itong ramp model na stage actress na nakilala ko recently sa isang party. Nasisiraan na ako ng bait. Pag nakilala mo siya, tiyak matutunaw ang utak mo sa kakaisip sa kanya.
Hingi lang po ako ng advice. Paano ko po siya mapapaibig? Bibigyan ko ba siya ng tula? Haharanahin ko ba siya? Roses? Kalachuchi? Chocnut at sampaguita?
In lab na po ako. Ano po ang gagawin ko? She is the one.
Bartolome
Bartolome,
Hindi ka talaga sasagutin niyang nililigawan mo. Napaka-old school kasi ng mga tactics mo. Wala nang gumagawa ng ganyan. Sa panahon ngayon, lahat ng bagay, nagtaas na. Nagtaas na ang gasolina, nagtaas na ang presyo ng bigas at mga bilihin, nagtaas na ang pamasahe, at lalong nagtaas na rin ng standards ang mga babae. Hindi na uubra yang siopao at kalachuci mo. Lalo na yung huli mong binigay, hopia at santan. Ano ba pare? Ano’ng era ka ba pinanganak?
Pero don’t worry. It’s not too late. May pag-asa ka pa. Hindi pa naman siya kinakasal at di pa niya sinasagot yung crush niya na basketball player. Kahit lamang siya ng sampung paligo sa’yo, daanin mo sa utak at creativity. Dahil aminin na natin, iyon na lang talaga ang pag-asa mo. Heto, bibigyan kita ng mga simple, tried and tested na mga regalo para di siya mapurga sa hopia at siomai. Sundin mo ‘to, tiyak na lalaglag ang bagang niya sa’yo. Mga medyo more than your usual regalong panligaw:
1. Bili ka ng century tuna. Ilagay mo sa isang napakalaking box—yung sinlaki ng TV o kaya box ng desktop PC mo. Tapos balutan mo ng magarang pambalot. Kuntsabahin mo na yung teacher niya sa Calculus. Sa gitna ng klase, bigla kang kumatok sa classroom. Pero dapat, incognito ka. Magsuot ka ng LBC jacket, magshades, at magsuot ng surgical mask. Pagpasok mo sa classroom, iabot mo yung box sa teacher, at papirmahin mo ng acknowledgement receipt. Tapos pabuksan mo in front of everyone. Tignan mong mabuti ang reaction sa mukha niya.
Later during the day, pag tinanong niya kung bakit Century Tuna ang binigay mo, iikot mo yung lata at ituro mo yung sign na “Omega 8.” Pag tinanong niya kung ano yung Omega 8, sabihin mo: “because you’re good for my heart.”
2. Mangolekta ka ng isang dosenang hanger na libre mong nakukuha tuwing nagpapa-dry clean ka. Tapos, sa bawat hanger, isula mo: “I miss hanging out with you.”
3. Instead of roses, kuha ka ng tissue paper sa banyo ng school mo. Gawin mong tissue paper roses. Gawa ka ng isang dosena. Pag-abot mo, sabihin mo, “Ganito kalinis ang pag-ibig ko sa’yo.”
4. Bili ka ng tetra pack ng mantikang Minola. Tapos bilugan mo yung “with Omega 8.” Hindi na siya magtatanong kung bakit.
5. Bigyan mo ng ice cream cone. Dapat cone lang at walang ice cream. Pag hinanap niya yung ice cream, sabihin mo, “natunaw na kakatitig sa’yo.”
6. Bili ka ng sandosenang box ng crayola. Kolektahin mo lahat ng black. Lagay mo sa isang box ng crayola. Sa likod, isulat mo: “Walang kulay ang buhay kung wala ka.”
7. Bigyan mo siya ng mumurahing bumbilya. Alam mo na siguro by this time kung ano ang isasagot pag tinanong niya kung bakit.
8. Itext mo siya ng: “Hindi tayo tao, hindi tayo hayop, hindi tayo halaman. Bagay tayo. Bagay!”
9. Bigyan mo siya ng calling card ng MMDA. Sa likod, isulat mo “para pag nagkabanggaan ang puso natin.”
10. Padalhan mo ng Happy Meal pero huwag mong ibibigay yung libreng laruan. Paghinanap niya, sabihin mo: “Ako yung freebie, at ikaw yung meal na nagpapahappy sa’kin.”
Pag hindi ka pa niyan sinagot, ewan ko na lang.

Let it unfold, Life is fair
While Kris Aquino -- the daughter of slain former Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. -- is agonizing about the release of the ten convicts who are believed to be part of the group who killed her dad, I am completely clueless about what is going to happen with my damaged affair.
If my partner would just give me a chance to explain my side, things would lighten up, I told myself. I know that with the intelligence my beloved, my mate would be able to understand why things happened that way. I was just waiting for the "peaceful talk".
How does a Kris Aquino stand still with all these trials in her life? Perhaps she has a supportive, strong, and willed mother like Cory Aquino. It has been difficult for me as I lost my love for myself on the process of loving my relationship. I would fight for our love till the end, I said. I have been fighting life. All I was thinking was I can never live without my fellow beside me.
But isn't it that when you fight life, life always wins? I realized that I just have to let life unfold, and face it. Yes, it may be hard, but this is life. Isn't it also part of fighting for your love while being silent. Maybe you just both need space for the mean time; and let the anger hold itself.
And in the end, I believe that life is and will be fair. It is only that life cannot distribute blessings and misfortunes evenly through your life--patterning with your neighbors life.
