...my Ateneo classmates.
LOA kasi ako this sem, to concentrate a bit more on my teaching. This is my 3rd year of teaching already but I'm only starting to really get my groove. Ngayon lang ako nagiging confident, partly because ngayon rin lang ako nagiging organized. I'm trying to plan things out better this year. Hopefully naman my students will indeed benefit from the changes I'm trying to make with myself as a Biology teacher.
So, yeah, I miss my Ateneo classmates. Di ko na tuloy sila kasabay gumradweyt sa MEM. I miss the Saturday lunches along Katipunan. Bonding, kahit magastos. I hope I can go to the annual sembreak MEM outing. Sana meron nga this year :)

UP kong mahal
3rd post for tonight. Man, I've been away from this for too long :P
And I'm blogging now about the reason for my absence.
For the past week, I've spent 6pm to 9pm at the Ateneo for my classes in Environmental Standards and Technologies. La namang problema dun, although from Tuesday to Friday I also had to attend the GLOBE teacher training program in Pisay/Manila Bay so pagdating sa gabi medyo pagod na hehe. Buti nalang kadamay ko diyan si Mel (Pisay '94) and Ame (Pisay '96), my co-teachers and Ateneo classmates.
Anyways, so there, miss ko tuloy Ateneo classmates ko kasi I've been seeing them daily from Monday to Saturday of the previous week. Ngayon we're back to our regular sked of Saturday classes - Environmental Risk Assessment pag 9am-12nn, then Standards at 1-4pm.
Last sem's EM240 class (well, most of us, at least).
Problema sa whole day Saturday classes is that lately laging may kasabay. Nov 19 and Dec 3, make-up classes sa Pisay. Dec 10, seminar ko sa UP. Dec 17, kasal nina Ramil and Andrea. Hehehe. Marami-raming absent na 'to ah.

There are a lot of things I like about studying in Ateneo.
Great facilities, safe environment, buildings not far apart, lots of good-looking people. I get to see a lot of musicians - and that's a nice trip for me since I'm a self-confessed rocker-stalker, right? So far I've seen Yael of Spongecola, Tedmark of Happymeals, Yan of Pupil, Bryan(?) of Dicta License, and Kelley of Kjwan/Dicta License. Some sa campus ko mismo nakita, yung iba sa Starbucks Katips, which is a cool place to hangout, especially if you've got work to cram hehehe.
Latte and ferns

And yet...
My home is still the University of the Philippines :) Nuthin would beat the 5 years (hehe, may extrang isa :D ) I spent there as an undegrad.
So many memories. The jampacked classrooms. The vandalized bathroom walls. The ubiquitous fishball stands. The ancient laboratories. The phychem lessons I just don't get. Having picnics beside the track oval. Tambay on the CASAA steps the whole day. Hanging out with ZS or MBBS friends. Getting senti in the Sunken Garden. Bonding with friends in nearby watering holes (hehe). The unforgettable UP Fairs.

Ateneo's a great school (expensive though the tuition may be), but I don't get that homey feeling that I experienced in UP.
I remember the Saturday I found out that Wolfmann was in a coma. That was in the middle of my group's report sa Ateneo. I got a text from Belle saying she heard the news on NU. I walked out of the room to call Klara and Vin to confirm the news. Til now, I associate those 2nd floor walkways with the sadness of that news.
After lunch with my classmates, I hitched with LT to UP and spent some moments alone on the CASAA steps to digest reality. Somehow, the place provided me with the comfort I was looking for.
That's UP for me. She's beautiful in moments of either joy or sadness.
UP the best. UP astig! :)

Toxic na 'to
Oh wow, things are getting hectic (and here I am blogging). Can't wait 'til Christmas vacation.
- - - - -
Ansaya nung Tagaytay weekend ko with my coursemates sa Ateneo! Got to spend last weekend with the MEMsters (Masters in Environmental Management) at Cellar Mansions in Tagaytay. Got to meet folks from earlier batches, and got to spend time with the Batch 4 peeps (my batch). Isang gabing puro kain, kanta, at kwento. At mumu. Hehe, sabi nila. Pero wala naman akong nakita ;)
With MEMfolks naman sa Viewsite (ulit!), Tagaytay.
- - - - -
As I said, it's gonna be hectic from now on. Every Saturday hereon will be spent at Ateneo for my masters classes (9am-4pm). Kaya yung mga make-up classes sa Pisay na Sabado ay Long Test nalang para sa mga students ko, hehehe :D And maybe for the next 3 Sundays (SANA!), I'll still be in Pisay to watch my batchmates try to finally get that Championship title for the Pisay Alumni Basketball League *cross fingers*
Next week alone is HELL WEEK. Four whole days training for the GLOBE Program (so I won't get to meet my students), and then 6-9pm classes at the Ateneo. Ayuz.
And we've only got 2 weeks left to finish the coverage for the 3rd quarter. Sabi nga nung mga bata info overload na raw sila. Hehehe.
Will be attending the PSBMB convention to be held at the Ateneo on Dec 1-2. At pag natapos na ang classes sa Pisay, I'm pretty sure may mga requirements to submit sa Masters. Plus that workshop I'll be conducting for BIOTA sa UP mga 2nd week December.
Winner.
Who's complaining? Not me ;)
Sana lang maka-gig parin ako, especially sa 19th or 26th, kasi celebration ng 4th anniv ng pinakamamahal kong prod - ADMIT ONE. Or maybe the NU Rock Awards on Dec 2 - pero may klase kinabukasan. Pati rin ba yung MTV HIV/AIDS summit? Kakanta daw dun si MiG Ayesa eh, hehehe. Nah, too many people to deal with - not my type of gig.
Sana naman di ako magkasakit sa lahat ng ito :P
Gusto ko tuloy bumalik ng Tagaytay. Or maybe go to Baguio (I miss Baguio!). Or pwede narin sa beach. Basta getaway, hehehe.

Almost got to see Constantine kanina sa Greenbelt. Met up with my parents and sis after my rents watched Goblet of Fire (which I haven't seen yet!) then had dinner sa Greenbelt 3. Kaso we were done na by 7:45 (8 darating si Constantine) so umuwi na kami.
Planning to go to ATC nalang tomorrow. Sana di ako tamarin hehe.
