Dear blog,
I noticed that there's something heavy that I am feeling and my body has a tiresome mood. I slept for about 9 hours but I still feel not fully refreshed.
Now I am somewhat feeling symptoms of a fever. I can feel that my body has a high temperature and I feel really tired. I drank coffee in the morning to let myself awake throughout the day but it seems that caffeine has no effect. I think that my body had already developed a caffeine tolerance. i took supplements to stay revitalized and ate a good high-calorie foods but they could have a hard time to be transfused in my bloodstream to every cells of my body.
during my training yesterday, I swam a total of 3500 meters but it was just once in this very week. I could swim such distance for two consecutive training sessions and would still be energetic afterwards.
and indeed I got a fever and i slept immediately when I'm home taking an overdose of vitamin C.

BIBAK 2008-Acquaintance and Induction Party
BIBAK 2008-Acquaintance and Induction Party
“Mun-ooha Angkan nankakalasi ye Kaugadian”
Guest Speaker: Dr. Ryan Guinaran
Palispis Hall, Capitol Building, Latrinidad, Benguet
Aug. 16, 2008 2:30-9:00 p.m.
I bought a ticket from one of the BIBAK officers and had attended the party.
I don’t know what exactly the meaning of the theme. It’s kinda Ibaloi words I think and I haven’t asked anyone regarding such, I am only interested in going to the party though just like the rest of the party goers.
The scheduled time was 2:30-9:00. 2:30 would had been the start but I arrived there at about 6:00 having in mind that there would only be few people there at the early start of the afternoon. I thought that people would only go there to attend at the early evening and they’re anticipating for sure, the dinner.
I arrived there and greeted some of my classmates. The newly elected officers were dancing with gongs when I entered in their g-strings. Good thing we’ve seen their fats and abs burned-off somehow.
Many people were now coming in and the chairs were now starting to be filled in. Students from other schools attended also and had presented their dances.
Sooner, the BIBAK advisers were requested to show their privilege dances and it’s kinda funny to see them dance. The new BIBAK adviser Mr. Cal-agan was taken into a video soon to be uploaded to youtube by his students and he became the face of the night having many fans. His students voted for him.
To cut short, dinner was being served and we were the volunteers to distribute the foods. As for me, BIBAK failed to appoint or form a food committee that would be responsible in the preparation and distribution of foods, purchasing and other food matters. It leads to shortage of prepared foods in the styropores and delayed distribution. The party goers were in there tables eagerly waiting for their dinner but there seemed to be some delays. Anyway, we managed to feed all and soon, the dancing continued.
I didn’t manage to see the ending because I left and had gone home. Lest, there would be no more available jeepneys to ride home.

Wisdom from the Ostrich
Job 13:13-18
(13)"The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but they cannot compare with the pinions and feathers of the stork.
(14)She lays eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand,
(15)Unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some animal may trample them.
(16)She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; She cares not her labor was in vain,
(17)For God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense.
(18)Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

Wandering Thoughts
My mind has been wandering
this very moment
Of doing nothing except
just staring at the ceiling
I begin to fantasize
So many ideas flying in my surroundings
absorbed by my keen perception
Ideas I hear and see, feel and smell
and taste in the air
They are making me more perplexed
The surroundings that I perceive
I wonder if they're real
I can't comprehend them
in detailed panorama
they're just shallow things
called Illusion
Lights I see dont give off
their glare
and my mind is blank
Saving it just exclusively
for my sanity's sake
Such a turmoil, my brain's
gonna explode
Time is passing and I noticed
every moment lost
Thoughts that wander on nothingness
Thoughts that are no better than air
this very moment
Of doing nothing except
just staring at the ceiling
I begin to fantasize
So many ideas flying in my surroundings
absorbed by my keen perception
Ideas I hear and see, feel and smell
and taste in the air
They are making me more perplexed

I can't comprehend them

and my mind is blank
Saving it just exclusively

18-08-2008
I woke up at around 1:30 in the morning and immediately got up from my sleep. I put my cellphone on the alarm but i woke up minutes before it should alarm. I walked from T. Alonzo to Session road holding the things my brother had told me to send him. It took me I think, about 30 minutes to walk to my destination. Arriving at the Victory Liner terminal at Gov. Pack road just below SM, I noticed that the terminal was still dark. The person Mr. Carpio whom I should deliver my brother's stuffs told me that he'll go there at 2:30 and as for me, I got there too early enough. We were supposed to rendezvous there so that he could take the first trip to Olongapo. It was still 2 o'clock and I got an hour to spare. I ate some soup in a foodstore and later try to find some internet shops to enjoy the hour I have instead of just waiting. I go downward to Session Rosd and I found an internet cafe not too far from where I came but unfortunately, there was no internet connection. The operator said that there seemed to have some problem with PLDT. I go to two more internet cafes but the same reply did I receive. I could not just play DotA, I want to surf.
At about 3 am., I go back to the terminal and Mr. Carpio was still not there. I called him many times but I received no reply. The cellphone was unattended. I thought 3 a.m. was the first trip but the place was still dim. In my way to the terminal, at the intersection of Session Road and Gov. Pack road, I've seen a bunch of people, all of them were students and I noticed a girl wearing a SLU jacket similar with ours. I didn't see the face. I only seen the eyes. She covered her mouth with his hair when she turn back and had seen me. I didn't dare even to see her full face. I just tried to recognize the faces of her companions hoping i could get a hint. Probably, someone from my team gave her the jacket. But I'm not yet on the right ground to jump into conclusions but I will try to affirm my speculation. I pray it was not Rona because being with such company would make her a bad girl and I am unable to tink such about her.
Arriving at the terminal, I asked the person there and he told me that Baguio-Olongapo trips were all now in their other terminal at Engineer's hill. I go there (I walked 10 mins. to arrive there) and noticed some PMMA cadets but I didn't dare to talk to them. I also noticed a PMMA cadet while I ws waiting at Gov. Pack and I thought he was Mr. Carpio and I tried to call him but the reply was unattended.
I myself had gone to Olongapo about 3 years ago and we took our trip at Gov. Pack and even when I accompanied my brother to the Terminal going to Olongapo, they took tickets at Gov. Pack. So I walked my way again to Gov. PAck road and finally asked the conductor regarding the first trip and told me that all trips to Olongapo were on their other terminal. It was confirmed. I asked when was the first rip and he told me that it was 3:30. I walked fast to Engineer's Hill again and the security guard told me that the first trip has gone already. I thought I lose him. I didn't stop to call him and while I was in the CR, he called and thanked me for my calls because he was awakened though. He told me he would take the trip at Gov. Pack on 5 o'clock. If he had gone already, I would deliver the things and the money to the PMMAers waiting for their trip. that would be the inconceivable choice. He told me he was on his way. I sat down and tried to converse with the PMMA cadet beside me. Their response was snappy. Soon they asked me who my brother was and soon introduced ourselves and got our cellphone numbers. The female cadet told me that she knew my brother and that they were renting rooms near my brother's in San RAfael. At about 5 o'clock, the bus bound to Olongapo started its engine and people begun to ride including the cadets. Mr. Carpio arrived and I handed him my brother's things and they aboard the bus and rode the ride of their lives. I walked back to T> Alonzo to my cousin's boarding house and fell asleep.
At about 3 am., I go back to the terminal and Mr. Carpio was still not there. I called him many times but I received no reply. The cellphone was unattended.

Our Heavenly Dwelling
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
(1)Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
(2)Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
(3)Because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked
(4)For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
(5)Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the spirit as deposit, guaranteeing what is to come
(6)Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord
(7)We live by faith, not by sight
(8)We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord
(9)So we make it our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
(10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due to him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Grey Clouds
A near black cotton-like vapor of water
in the atmosphere
It has never stopped to amaze me
Making me think that you have something
which you are concealing on your bosom
Are you a sign of fair weather
or an impending rain?
But I know many people would certainly think
That you're carrying
your rain with you
That you're ready to burst
I could somehow see rays of the sun
passing through you
Although your dim color
absorbed some of its radiance
Which means you're not keeping the light
for yourself
It'll gonna rain tonight
or tomorrow morning
But I've forecasted already
that you'll let go
of your rainwater vessel
because I've seen pink and orange
sunset yesterday
You seemed to affect the mood of us creatures
yet you're powerless against our wants and desires
You seemed to try to give a message
to us of some sort
An enigma for us to be unable to comprehend
a Divine wonder you behold
Thanks to you, I cannot see
the beautiful sunset at dusk
Only do I see now was a darkness
slowly prevailing against the light
You have made my night long this time
but I do know now,
that the only option for us is to accept
that it's now your season
and you're now the ruler of the skies.
