YUNG LAST, TEH. YUNG LAST :((

Time Capsule: Chillver Reunited

Haays. It’s a tiring day. I just finished the 5 hours operation of my patient today. I sat on my chair and I smiled when I took off my coat. This is my first time operating someone. Finally, I’m now really a doctor. I saved her. Her operation went well.

I saw a letter on my table so I opened it.

“To: Daniella Marie A. Mateo M.D. There will be a Reunion Party for Batch 2017-2018 of Cagayan National High School Junior High Come! You’re invited!”

Oh. Reunion party. That’s nice. I’m so excited to see the chillver family again. I laughed when I remembered saying “chillver” for the first time again. Chillver known for being chill in everything. Tests, assignments, research papers and other school works. Even though they’re just chilling or we are just chilling ,that doesn’t mean we’re not studying or not working. Our works all impressive and above average.

“Good morning, Doc” My assistant greeted me.

“Oh. Good morning.” I replied.

“Doc Angeline is calling you.”

“Okay. Just a second.”

Haays. It’s Angeline again. I know why she want us to talk again this time. I guess it’s about the reunion party. I went out of my room and saw Angeline outside.

“Hey.” I said.

“Dan, are you aware about the reunion party?” She asked.

“Yes. It’s 3 days from now right?” I replied

“Yes. Mind to go?

“Of course”

She’s my classmate when we’re in junior high school so I’m sure she also got an invitation. Angeline and I are very close to the point that we’re just calling each other in our nicknames and just talking informally to each other even though we are now both a doctor and she’s now Dr. Ma. Angeline Apostol.

“So First lady, do you mind to go with me?” I asked. I teased her.

“Dan! Stop calling me ‘First Lady’!” She replied.

“Okay. Fine.” I said while trying not to laugh. She’s know as the “first lady” in our room because she dated our Classroom President, Dr. Jerameel Blanch Bunagan. I remembered her being a jealous girlfriend because Jerameel couldn’t reply to her texts. He’s a CAVRAA player that time so he’s really busy with his training so I think that’s the reason why he couldn’t reply. But yeah. They broke up months later.

“Did you see the news?” Angeline asked.

“What news?”

“Your friend Kaycel Baccay is the topnotcher in CPA exam while Mark Daniel Cambri placed second.””

“Wow.” I said. I’m happy for them. They are now a CPA Lawyer. They really became what they wanted to be. Kaycel was one of our math wizards and Daniel was our classroom joker.

“Yes. Same with Krisha Abines CPA, Claire Tannagan CPA and Aivan Calanoga CPA. They became accountants” She added.

“Woah! The math wizards in our room!”

“Yes. Exactly.”

We were interrupted when someone patted my shoulder.

“Hey Dan and Angeline. I heard you’re talking about the math wizards in our room. You forgot my name.” Chastine said while trying to act as if she was hurt.

“Oh. Chas.” Angeline and I said.

“It’s not like that. How could we forgot the silent math wizard of our room? The best among the math wizards?” I replied hoping she would accept my reply.

“Monster in Mathematics” Angeline added.

“AHAHA. Just kidding.” Chas said.

Well, that’s Dr. Chastine Cafuguagan. She was the silent math wizard of our room. She was really good in math yet she chose to be a doctor.

“Did you guys know about the reunion party?” Chas said. Angeline and I laughed because we’re talking about the reunion party again.

“Yes. I just got the invitation” I answered.

“Oh. Same with me. I called Cyril a while ago and he said he don’t know about about it.” Chas said and we laughed.

“Or maybe he got one and he’s just kidding you.” Angeline said.

“Or maybe he’s just busy and he didn’t notice about the letter placed on his table. Kinda like that.” I added.

Haaays. That’s Dr. Cirilo Parallag III, the joker of the room. He always cracks jokes and puns. I remembered having a crush on him when I was in grade 7 because he was really handsome. His nose is really pointed. I just felt like I was dumped by him when we became classmates when we’re in grade 9 and I found out that he’s a gay.

“ I called Dr. Zach, Dr. Angelica, and Dr. Ysabelle a while ago” Angeline said.

“Oh. So, what did they say?” I asked.

“They also got an invitation and they asked me if it’s really a legit invitation or just a prank.” Angeline answered and we laughed.

Dr. Zach Bumanglag was the photographer of the room. He really knows a lot in photography. I really thought he will become a Penshoppe model in the future because all of his clothes are from Penshoppe. LOL. Dr. Ysabelle Baggay, the “Studious one”. I remembered, I considered her as my rival in ranking. LOL. Dr. Angelica Biccan was the one of the room’s KPOP lover. Most of my KDrama was from her. She really loves KPOP and KDramas.

As we reached the X-ray section, we saw Allan Espita RRT.

“Allan!” Chas shouted hoping he could hear her voice.

“Hey.” He replied and walked toward us.

“So, how’s your day?” I asked.

“Hmmm… Tiring. How about guys?” He answered

“Hmm… Good.” I replied.

“Stressful.” Angeline answered.

It’s Allan, known as “The competitive one” of the room. When there’s a school work, he’s really doing it with his best. He really wanted that his work is the best among all of our works.

“Did you guys saw the news about Engr. Adrian Cabalza being the highest paid engineer in Asia?

“Wow. Nice!” we answered. It’s Engr. Adrian Cabalza, known as “The late comer” of the room. He always go to school late. He was the joker of the room and the best Vice President I’ve known. He’s noisy yet he knows a lot. He’s also good in mythology.

“Really? I just saw Edriana Marie Garma RMT a while ago in the laboratory section together with Raquel Maramag RMT. I didn’t say ‘hi’ to them because they’re so busy examining bloods.” Angeline said.

It’s Edriana Marie Garma RMT and Raquel Maramag RMT. They are bestfriends. Both of them are beautiful. Edriana is dating Engr. Adrian Cabalza and I think they are now engaged. Raquel is also one of my closest friend. Her parents are my god parents that’s we’re so close.

Chastine’s phone rang and Micah is requesting for a video call.

“Hey Micah” Chas answered.

“Hiiii. Chaaaaas, do you know about the reunion partyyyyy? Micah said.

“Yes.” Chas replied

“Hi, Mics”

“Hiiiiiii”

“Hi, Micah!”

“Oh. Hey guys.” She replied.

She’s Dr. Micah Odessa Aragon. She was like Dr. Zach. She also knows a lot in photography. They are my idols in taking pictures and I’m proud to say that I’m one of their million followers on instagram.

We were shocked when we saw Erica Catulin RN beside her.

“Oh. Hi Erika!” We said.

“Hi” She answered. She’s still didn’t change. She’s still like her in high school. She still don’t talk much.

“So, how are you? Angeline asked.

“I’m so stressed. Micah is giving me a lot of works.” she replied and we laughed.

Chastine invited us to eat in our canteen so we headed there. The television in our canteen was  open and it’s tuned in news. It’s a report about Engr. Jansen Cumagun for he successfully constructed the tallest tower in Canada.

“Wow! Jansen!” Angeline said.

Yes. It’s Jansen. He really has a creative mind. When there’s a group activity in high school, I really was hoping that I’ll be grouped with him so our work will be in above average. Next news is about a hollywood film starring Angel Perez.

“It seems that Angel really made it to big screen!” I said.

“Yeah. Even though she’s now a teacher in U.S., she can still manage to make movies.” Chas added. Another news is about Dr. Danica Mara for being the surgeon for the upcoming heart surgery of the U.S. President.

“I’m sure Danica can do that!” Allan said.

“Yes. I agree to that. She had succeeded in numerous operations so she really can do that.” I added.

Someone requested to switch the channel and it made Dr. Jaber’s show came up. It’s a show about the wild life of animals.

“Wow. Jaber has his own show, huh? Allan said.

It’s Dr. Jaber Paul Binayug. He’s now a veterinarian. He was known because of his erotic mind. Someone switch again the channel and Dr. Angelica Guiquing’s show came up. Its showing her patient’s faces that she’d worked on. She’s a dermatologist in Brazil now. I remembered Angie holding a novel book while having an earphones in her both ears.

“Angieeeeeee” I said.

“HAHAHA. She can’t hear you, Dan!” Angeline said.

“I don’t care. Its just that I’m happy to see Angie again.” I replied.

“Yes. Me too.” Chas added.

In our way back to our rooms we saw Dr. Nicole Castillo in the Pedia Section. It’s Aian. She was known as boyish in our room.

“Hi, Aian!” Angeline said.

“Hello. Did you guys saw the invitation? She asked.

“Yes. We just got one.” Chas answered.

“Oh. I see. I’m so excited seeing chillver again.” Aian added.

We were interrupted by a familiar voices. It’s from Dr. Christian Gacias and Dr. Cristian Rey Gaddao. Haaays.

“Sup?” Gaci said.

“Oh. Gaci!” Chas said.

“’Hey, Gads!” Allan said.

“Hello” Cristian answered.

“We were having a good time before you guys went here” Angeline teased.

“Ouch. You’re hurting me” Gaci said and we laughed

That’s Christian. He was very active in class when it comes to recitation. Cristian on the other hand was the guitarist of the room. He’s talented. He knows how to draw, sing, play a guitar and also good in english.

“Hmmm… We’re good. We’re talking about the reunion party.” Allan said.

“Oh. Yeah. That’s 3 days from now,right? Gaci asked.

“Yes.” I answered.

“I’m so excited!” He added while giggling.

“Tsk. You just want to see Engr. Aira Bianca Datul.” Allan teased.

“Hmmm…” He answered. We laughed because of his reaction.

It’s Engr. Aira Binca Datul. She’s now an engineer in New York. She was the person with black eyeglasses. Black handkerchief, and black bag. Obviously, she loves black. She’s one of my closest friend.

“You still can’t forget her, huh? Move on, man!” Allan said.

“Hmmm… No” He answered.

“That’s okay. You can see her in our party, soon.” I said.

“Yes. Hoping.” He replied.

As we walked, we saw a New York Times magazine and Allan picked it. The headline is ‘5 highest paid Medical Technologists in South East Asia’. It’s Mark John Lester Apostol RMT, James Cusipag RMT, Janina Llanto RMT, Queenalynn Paris RMT, and Abiegail Serquina RMT.

“Wow!” Angeline said.

“Woaaaah! Lester!” Christian said.

“Wow! They became really successful.” Angeline said.

It’s Lester. He was also noisy and the joker of our room. James was known as “The Playboy”. I heard he dated more than 15 girls in high school. He changed when he met Ayra Tamaray and I think they are now dating. Janina, is one of my close friends. She was also a math wizard in our room. Sometimes she’s moody so don’t mess with her. She’s really kind and funny. Queenalynn, the carbo copy of Kathryn Bernardo. She really looks like Kathryn. She’s also one of my closest friends. I once envied her because their house was just beside National Book Store so she had all those beautiful notebooks and pens. But I they are now living in South Korea. Abiegail, is also one of my closest friend. She’s really a nice person. I also envied her because her nose is so pointed and she also has a dimple in her both cheeks. She’s a positive person. She once had a crush but their “almost lover” relationship didn’t work and if you’re trying to tease her with his “almost lover”, just don’t. Your life will be on danger. LOL.

On the next page, we saw the picture of Engr. Al Policar Rivera together with Engr. Christpher Suyu.

“Wow, Alpo!” Gaci said.

“Alpooooooo” Gads added.

“Woah! Alpo did the ‘Pol’!” Gaci asked

“Are you talking about the tallest building in the whole world? Chas said.

“Yes. It says here.” Gaci said while trying to get the magazine from Allan.

“Wait. It states here that Engr. Christpher also did the JC Tower in New Zealand.” Allan said while trying to protect the magazine from Gaci.

“Wow!” I said.

“They are really cool!” Gads said.

AlPo was the coolest person in our room. (You can take it literally. LOL.) He was really good in editing videos. He is also gifted. He knows how to draw, edit videos, and has a perfect face. Christpher is also really good in drawing.

“Do you know that Frances Datul is now the Executive Editor of New York Times magazine?” Chas asked.

“Eh? Really? Angeline said.

“Yes. She just became an Executive Editor last week.” Gads answered.

“Oh. Nice! I’m happy for her.” I added.

On the next page there is a headline stating: Two Filipinos Topnatchers in Bar Exam in California.

“Wow! It’s Atty. Alexis Joe Manuel!” Gaci said.

“Atty. Joriza Enaman!” Chas added.

“Wow! Proud chillver here!” Angeline said and we laughed.

We turned another page and we saw a bank with the picture of the owner beside it.

“Carlos Bank?” Gaci asked.

“Nicooooooooole” Gad said.

Nicole Carlos CPA has her own bank now. Wow. Yes, no wonder. She’s also good in math.

“It says here that the ‘Carlos Bank’ is currently the highest bank in the world!” Chas said.

“Wow.” Angeline said as we saw a familiar name.

“Engr. Gelli Mae Bucayu?” Chas asked.

“Wow. She is the civil engineer assigned in constructing another bank of Carlos Bank in Singapore.” Gads said. I remembered having a fight with her. She’s also a moody person. She’s kind, just don’t mess with her.

We looked at the cover of the magazine and saw another familiar face.

“Cj!” I shouted.

“ You’re too loud!” Angeline said.

“I’m just happy for her” I replied giggling. Gen. Christine Joy Baccay. She’s the first female five star general in our country. She’s one of my closest friends. Kaycel, CJ, and I known as the “Powerpuff Girls” in our room. She was known as”GC” in our room because she was always holding a notebook and reviewing.

“Haays. Our classmates really became so successful.” I said,

“Indeed.” Gaci answered.

Then, we parted ways when we reached our rooms.

3 days later…

Wow. Its really nice here. We’re in a hotel owned by Angel Perez. There’s a wine section in the right side and the food section in the left side. All of our batchmates are here. I saw some familiar faces. I was shocked when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

“Hey” CJ said.

“Hi” I replied and I hugged her. We walked to where the whole silver is.

“By the way, congratulations on being the first female five star general in our country. “ I said and she laughed.

“Thanks, Dan!” she said while giggling.

There, I saw Kaycel, Aby,and Queenalynn.

“Hi, guys.” I said

Hi, Dan!” Kaycel replied

“Sup?” Aby said

“Hello” Quenalynn answered.

“It’s really nice to see you guys again.” I said.

“Yes. Me too.” Kaycel said and the four of us hugged.

At the corner of the room, I saw Gaddao, Jaber, Alpo,Lester, Aian, Adrian, James, Gaci, Angel and Frances. Cristian Gaddao is playing a guitar while those guys are singing. Micah, Zach, Chastine, Daniel, Erica, Allan, Cyril, Ysabelle and Nicole are also taking pictures. Jansen, Claire, Raquel, and Edriana are also drinking wine.Krisha, Angeline,Gelli, Angelica are laughing,enjoying each other’s presence. Jerameel, Joe, Aivan, Christpher, and Aira are alsomaking fun with each other. Danica and Joriza are also in the food section.

Then, I saw Janina and Angie. We headed to them.

“Hi, Angie and Janina.” I greeted.

“Hello” Angie replied.

“Hi neneng”Janina replied and we laughed.

A song played. A slow music. At first, all of us are still shy and no one was trying to go on the stage. All of us danced when one tried to go on the stage. We’re all happy. We’re happy to see each other. I’m very happy to see the chillver reunite again.

“Gads!”

“Cool ako!”

“Harem King!”

“Suyu!”

“Miracle!”

“Pervert!

“Engay! Engay!”

“Bababababa”

“Jaby”

“Kidssssssss”

“First Lady!”

Christian asked for a dance with Aira, Alpo with Frances, Jerameel with Angeline, James with Ayra, and Edriana with her fiance’ Adrian. They are so happy. How I wish I can also see him and have a dance with him.

The party is over but I still didn’t see him. I still never had the chance to have a glimpse of his face.

“Bye, guys” Cristian said.

“Good bye guys” Alpo added.

“Bye.” I answered.

We all hugged. Then, we left.

On my way to the parking lot, I saw him. I saw my almost I thought my prince. I saw the man who I almost gave my heart when we’re in high school. The memories, the happy moments, and the sweet messages are all flashing back. I stared at him and his eyes met mine. I think it’s now time for us to be happy.

The End.

[cjaaaayy-blog]

the most heart-touching blog i’ve read :’(

Ryan’s Princess

To be honest I really don’t know what to write because I’m just a boy who doesn’t excel in anything so that means I also don’t excel in writing.😂😂

I’ll just tell the story of how we met. 😉

So I first met you at the Review Center of Ma'am Ascaño where it stinks 😂😂 because of their dog’s poop living at the upper part of their house. Our first conversation was when you recited some parts of the respiratory system but the problem is that I’m the only one who can hear it so I decided to recite what you are saying with my loud voice 😂😂 and everytime I see you I always thank you because I think our review mates thought that I know something about the lesson. 😂

So that’s how we met 😂😂

(rush na po to hihi)

To The Girl Who’s Underrated

To you, whose height kinda out-stands others.

To you, whose smile outshines them all.

To you, whose jokes lightens up the day.

To you, whose heart begs to differ from all.

To you, who still blooms despite the problems the world throws.

To you, who is a lost unicorn in monstrous place.

And to you, who made my past two years memorable.

I offer this, to you.

We’re not that close personally, only, virtually. But, let me start it with a “my first impression of you, and how I came to know you” because, that’s the most typical way of starting write-ups like these.

June 2016, it was then again that I felt butterflies in my stomach, that I saw the whole world in Slo-Mo, again, when I saw you. You were still kinda dark, since you just came back from Gonzaga for a who-knows-what event that is. Still, you were as dazzling as ever. You were talking to someone and I was there looking at you (dud, screw this. I later on realized how much of a creep I am) and judging by your actions, it was obvious you were the kind, caring and “maria clara” (loooool) type.

We later on started talking to each other via. Messenger, with you-know-who as our wingman. I was pretty hesitant replying to you at that time because, I was a crappy and indecisive person back then. One wrong move, and I’ll hate myself for that. Going back, we talked to each other for quite some time, and got to know each other partly. True enough, you were indeed the kind and caring person.

Fast forward and we’re finally Grade 10, it was also then that the both of us were classmates. Observing you and gathering all what I know. It was then that I concluded that you’re underrated. Several people only recognize your beauty. Only a few grasp your skills in poetry. To them, you’re only something. To me, you’re everything.

(Ghad, that was freakin’ cringe-y)

I, thank you for being with me through these past two years. Despite me being a crappy, moody, and clingy person, you were still there. Despite me being an attention-seeker, you’d still give me some of your time. I also thank you for being a sturdy shoulder I can lean on whenever I drown into the dark abyss (though you were not the always-present shoulder, still, I appreciate you). For being my stress-reliever (and also my stress-maker at times), thank you. For being my happy and sad pill, thank you still. Thank you for everything, dum dum.

To you, whose smile outshines them all. Continue smiling, girl! It makes someone’s day brighter than yesterday.

To you, whose jokes lightens up the day. Keep those jokes cracking. It helps a person forget stress just for a while and enjoy their company with you.

To you, whose heart begs to differ from all. Continue to be a kind-hearted person. Continue to comfort the sad ones. Keep those hugs coming as someone might be needing those soon. Also, get your shoulder ready as more people will lean on them later on.

To you, who still blooms despite the problems the world throws. Be strong and courageous, love! No matter how big or heavy the problem is. Conquer it. You have your parents and friends beside you.

To you, who is a lost unicorn in monstrous place. Continue to fly and roam. You’ll soon find your fellow unicorn who’ll make this monstrous place a peaceful one.

And to you, who made my past two years memorable. I hope to have more memories with you in the future. Though, we’re not that close personally. I hope we’ll make it a resolution that we’ll talk and hang out with each other more often.

And to you, yes, to you, I’ll end it with this.

Grade 9 and 10 must have been pretty dull if you weren’t there. I’m pretty glad that I met a wonderful lass like you. All I can say is, continue what you’ve started. I guess, see you whenever I’ll see you, girl!

“Semper Idem”

It’s always the same. 2018 will somehow be the same as 2017 and the past years. Nothing’s ever changed. It’s all the same hardships we went through. It’s all the same uncomplete yesterdays we left. It’s all the same tears we shed. It’s all the same joy we experienced. Basically, it’s all the same bullcrap.

New Year, New Me is so underrated. There might be new things, new persons, new scenarios that’ll pop out on your life, but soon enough you’ll realize that these are just the same ones that popped out on your life the past years.

All that matters now is how we handle our life and this new year that was bestowed to us. As for me, I handle my life w/ some things I look forward for every year. Some of them are:

Self-healing - we’re all physically, emotionally and mentally tired, I know. But, every year we need to at least let ourselves rest and have all the fun

Self-love - giving love to others is okay! But, remember to always spare a little for yourself.

What I’m looking forward for every year are these two. Without these two, I can’t do anything, as well as not living through anything.

So, what 2017 gave you must serve as a lesson for you this 2018. And whatever happens in 2018, I hope that we’ll all find joy in every sadness we face. Here’s to more “semper idem” years!

A Thorn Amongst Roses

“People, no matter how loyal they say they are, will eventually leave you.” True enough, I’ve seen people come and go in my disastrous life. I’ve heard about jackasses using others for their own benefit, not giving a damn about the latter. I’ve talked about fake ones leaving you in the open. Thus, making me believe that people, indeed, will leave you no matter what.

Well, until

Six bozos came into my life

That’s when my life changed for the better; that’s when we changed each others lives for the better. Every drop of tears turned into buckets of laughter. Every fear and doubt was gone as we got each others backs (not mentioning some of you have two backs, but that’s another story hehe) Every dim and bland life was colored by each of our colorful and jolly personality.

Being with each other, we felt seemingly endless fun and happiness. We felt comfort when the world gave up on us. We felt security when insecurities began to pollute us. We gave supports and motivations when faced with difficult problems. And most of all, we gave love when we couldn’t even love ourselves.

Bozos became close friends

Truth be told, words aren’t enough to tell how much I’m grateful for the six of you. We support each other especially those landian or sightseeing moments. We motivate and cheer when one’s in contests. We hug and comfort each other when experiencing their depression and suicidal stage. We stay in each others side when we feel lonely. We throw random jokes and even dirty ones just to brighten the mood. We cry on each others shoulders whenever hurt or disappointed.

Bozos, indeed

To the six of you,

Kathrina, the maldita girl. You’re the second most serious of us all, probably, the most intelligent too. You’re also the girl being taken lightly, with fools not realizing your worth.

Shanyleigh, the peachy one. You’re probably the most talented of us all, being able to sing Kpop songs without any copy at all (😂) and being able to dance the latter.

Ayra, the weird one. Considering the latter fact, you’re indeed the weirdest of us all. Plus, you always wear that sarcastic face you have whenever we take pictures. Fierce look, but you always smile. But, you’re the luckiest one. Having that guy with a momentous difference to you, loving you.

Janae, the happy girl. No words can describe how happy-going you are. Blurting out jokes, only having them branded as corny. Suddenly smiling or laughing without any reason. Plus, having that sponge guy with you hehe.

Jeanelle, the orphic. You’re probably the most mysterious of us all, knowing the fact I don’t even know what’s happening in your life. Kidding, you’re the “ice”-iest of us all, and the toughest one, being able to say wide awake despite having only 30 mins of sleep.

Kezia, the kind one. I never saw you get angry at all. Maybe, that proves you’re indeed the girl with a good heart and doesn’t have any problem with her anger management.

2017 was a blast with all of you. My 2017 would have been dull, except you were there! and made everything bright! From supporting me on making that surprise for her, to helping me create my decision whether to get promoted or not, up to my contests I’ve had, and to upcoming points in my life. I’m happy that I’m a thorn amongst you beautiful roses. Thank you for everything. Have a great 2018, bozos! ✨

What Would’ve Happened?

“Mocha Uson appointed as assistant secretary of the Presidential Communications Operations Office.” Big, bold words that flashed on my phone’s screen as I scrolled down on the current news. It made me thinking of today’s politics - what they are doing for our country’s betterment, their propagandas for our economy to rise, their projects to eradicate today’s problems.

Growing up in Tuguegarao got me asking, “what if the Tings didn’t managed to make their own dynasty? Will Tuguegarao be not what it is today? Maybe we are far more better than what we are now.” With all these inquiries, I found answers in the back of my brain. Maybe, we’re more like that of Manila or any fully-urbanized places. Maybe this place is crawling with foreigners and other people. Maybe this place has far more economically improved.

I realized how better we are without those Tings ruling our city with an iron fist the past years, until ultimately being defeated by a new running-mayor, Jefferson Soriano.

City, with tall buildings, bustling with transportations, and people walking fast towards their jobs. This is the city I’ve imagined, or atleast our city if it weren’t for corrupt politicians. But then, it’s not only our city who’s been affected this way but also our very own country.

Our country has been corrupted because of politicians wanting more power, more money, more of anything they could snatch from us. Call me a story-maker, but I think this is what’s happening right now. No, from the very beginning corruption has been introduced.

Now, our country has its economy slowly rising. But, with the economy improving, new cases has been popping out of nowhere, plunging our country into a river of problems, again. Such as, EJK, the afore-mentioned Mocha Uson, and others. Will all these happening, I still wonder if our country can stand on its own. Without all those corruptions, fake news, EJK and others.

But, on the back of my mind. I know that soon enough, Philippines will be able to eradicate corruption, stop fake news, stop EJK and such. Philippines will be able to go on with other big countries. And most of all, Philippines will be the country that we all deserved.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”

-Jeremiah 29:11

We humans tend to have concerns. Well, all of us have concerns. Who on earth doesn’t have one?! A dead one, that’s for sure. As for me, I’m part of those people who tend to let their concerns take over the mind. One of those concerns is...

Studies. As a student, of course, this is my number one priority and my number concern. Since, this is my foothold towards a better future. Fail my studies, then maybe, I’ll fail my future. I obviously love studies (lol) since, I tend to stay up late at night to finish ny requirements such as this blog, to finish reviewing. I also tend to spend a lot of money for projects, especially research. I do studies approximately, 75% of my time.

Future. As I’ve mentioned above. My future lies on my studies. Fail it, then *poof* no great future. Well, unless you’ve managed to kick a lost lamp out there then rub it and a genie magically flies out and grants all of your wishes, along with your future there.

Body. Oh, come on. Most people now are just so conscious with their bodies. They want ripped abs, big muscles. They want to be muscular. Well, not for me. As I just want myself to get bigger, gain fats, and muscles, of course. So, that I wouldn’t be called a walking stick anymore.

Some concerns that deserve recognition are; family - family, of course. Without your family, you wouldn’t be alive in the first place, huh? And, God forsake, they might leave you in a blink of an eye. Leaving you all alone in this cruel world. So, love your family if you still have the chance.

Friends. Oh, yes. You would be usually concerned about your friends, if they suddenly leave you hanging and you don’t have anyone else left to lean on. Some are just temporary, and some, SOME, are permanent.

With the bible passage in the upper most part of this blog. It says, don’t worry, for God know your future and hold a bright one for you. Basically, all we have to do is leave it all to God. And be merry as God draws your path towards a bright future.

Looking at how Apple’s technology has evolved throughout the years. I must admit IPhone X is one of their most impressive smartphones yet. Unlike its predecessors, gone are the old-school home button and Touch ID, instead, the new phone introduces to us a new system of navigation gestures and Face ID’s new unlocking system. Now, these are major changes.

Apple definitely wants IPhone X to be the new era of IPhones. As we can obviously see the drastic changes they made - wireless charging, no buttons, all screen, Face ID, and yes, the no-earphones-jack (this sucks!), OLED display, and a much stronger phone processor called A11 Bionic SoC. Now, this is the the new generation of IPhones. The future.

With the new unlocking system - Face ID. Is one of the most notable changes in the IPhone X. The new facial regocnition system sensor uses a “Romeo and Juliet” module, with the former using 30,000 infrared dots onto the user’s face and the latter module to read the pattern. Wherein, it’ll be redirected to the Bionic chip to be confirm the match.

One of also the most notable changes is the new processor. The A11 Bionic Chip. The chip is much stronger and faster than the cores used in the previous IPhones. Say hello to a new world of gaming and multitasking.

Let’s not forget the dual rear camera, where can you can now take videos at 4K resolution. Also with the front camera, being able to take Portrait shots and having the True Depth (for the Face ID). And also, the wireless charging. It uses a Qi-Standard wireless charging thingy that can be used with Apple’s own accessory the AirMat.

“Say hello to the future” -Apple Inc.

The IPhone X is clearly the best phone to date. It’s thin, it’s powerful. People might think spending a whopping 1000$ isn’t worth-it, it’s ridiculous. But hey, who knows? Maybe, getting IPhone in your hands won’t be such a bad idea, since it is technically the most powerful phone yet.

   Lazybones. Couch potato. Video games in front of me. A disoriented stack of sodas on my left and a pile of junkfoods on my right. This is how I imagine myself ten years from now. If it wasn’t for me being a total lazy-ass, then maybe I would’ve been out there, exploring the world. Having adventures like a normal 26 year old guy would do…

   Just kidding! Looking at my list of what would I be doing in 10 years-time which are; talking like Mr. Snart, having mastered the art of photoshop, calligraphy and the likes, having a great career (which also plausible since, I’m also planning to be an engineer), still having the MU thingy with you-know-who, or the most possible of all possibles is, I’ll still be in school. Finishing medicines, which is quite long since taking up on medicines will really eat your time.

   So, me finishing my studies in… I don’t know? Maybe, UP Manila? UST? SLU? (I’m an aspiring Thomasian, just so you know) SLU, since, it’s one of the best medicine school out there. Or, maybe, God knows, I’ll end up in CSU, it’s not just I hate it there, but, I just don’t feel like going there.

   So, probably, I’ll be in my dorm reading my blog, maybe, edging-out because of my weird use of words. Or, simply, just reading and reviewing my medicine books. So, to wrap it all up, I’ll be in a nearby dorm in UST, finishing my studies, as to how I imagine myself in ten years’ time

    One of Marvel’s best movie is Doctor Strange. Here we see, Dr. Stephen Strange, a neurosurgeon, embarks on a seemingly normal journey to cure his hands after he underwent surgery after driving recklessly and crashing then plunging into the river. He, then finds himself in Nepal looking for Kamar-Taj after his short talk  with Jonathan Pangborn - a guy who managed to get back on his feet’s walking after an accident. 

    He finds Kamar-Taj, where he’s normal journey turns to a mystical one as he  was taught magic; opening gateways to other places, controlling relics, and even distorting reality. Strange befriends Mordo and Wong as he learns magic. He soon manages to see the page that was stolen by Kaecilius, after he used the time-shifting pendant, the Eye of Agamotto.

    Strange finds himself fighting with three of Kaecilius’ zealots, where he was chosen by The Cloak of Levitation and stabbed by the third one after subduing the other two. He manages to open a gateway to Christine Palmer (his ex-girlfriend) and saves her and penultimately kills the third zealot in the astral dimension. Following his journey, he, along with Mordo and the Ancient One confronts Kaecilius where the Ancient One was killed. 

    Strange and Mordo goes to the New York Sanctum, which is overrun and about to be engulfed in Dormammu’s Dark Dimension. Strange casts a time-spell, restoring the place and reviving Wong as well. But, was stopped by Kaecilius. Strange, out of ideas to save the world, goes straight to the heart of the Dark Dimension, casting an infinite time loop, trapping Dormammu and himself in a loop. Strange bargains with Dormammu to leave and never go to Earth again, and he’ll free him from the loop. Dormammu accepts the bargain and Strange saves the world.

“You think too little of yourself”                                                                               -The Ancient One

    Hearing what the Ancient One said to Strange, a guy whose ego and pride is too big, made me shudder… or think, rather. If Strange who’s so full of himself still thinks little of himself. How much more to me? Then that would mean I’m thinking 99.99% little of myself. Which means, I’m belittling myself so muuuuch. But, her words sparked something in my mind, that I better start thinking of myself more, and shaking all of my self-doubts off. 

“Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain.                                                                        -Stephen Strange

    This phrase is much more like the most powerful scene, that is, for me though. Strange locks himself and Dormammu in an infinite time loop, where the latter continuously kills Strange in various ways. Strange shows how willing he is to trap himself with Dormammu in a time loop as he didn’t had any second thoughts. He could’ve go armado on him or did other things to save the world. Instead, he didn’t. He just sacrificed himself, trapping him and Dormammu in an infinite time loop.

“We don’t seek to rule this world. We seek to save it!” ―Kaecilius

    Now, who said you can’t make a villain your favourite character? Besides, villains are way too cooler than the heroes anyway. Gaining a really strong power but didn’t had the time to kill the protagonist because… the script says so. Kidding. Because, that’s how it’s supposed to be. Antagonist being killed. Protagonist saving the day, yay! Setting aside what I’ve said, Kaecilius earned himself as being “my favourite character.” Who doesn’t want to summon weapons out of thin air? Who doesn’t want to have a seemingly undefeatable god on his side? Who doesn’t want those weird-looking tattoos on your forehead? Not me, of course. 

“Five hours later, he’s still on your doorstep. There’s strength to him”                   -Baron Mordo

    This statement tells how determined Strange is to cure his hands, as it’s the only way to regain it. He won’t leave Kamar-Tj until he gets what he wants. Same with me. Except, I wasn’t determined to get something back. It was just that, I was determined to buy merchandise in the Unashamed. Believe it or not, it’s really hard to grab what merchandise you want there. As imagine this, you’re basically going on a race with a lot of people from this whole nation and from other neighbouring countries. So, that’s when I made my decision, that I’ll go to MOA early, and go in line with the others early, just to get my sweet merchandises. 

    I’ll leave this question to Dr. Strange, since he’s technically alive. “If there were other ways to keep Dormammu at bay? Would you do it or just stick with the infinite-looped time?”
