Sale & Schooling Ongoing! Play Hard, Study Harder!

Comrades! I am happy that some of you are able to take interest in my goods. Please invite more people to buy my products for me. I need to accumulate PhP 1,700 for a 2 Gigabyte memory card for my Playstation Portable. Thank you very much.

By the way, how is school lately? Only the third week, a horde of quizzes came right at our faces, right? I understand too. Level Three Military Training is hard, I know. But we should never falter, no heavy bag nor hard test will drag us down! Let education guide us to the right future, and let us use it for the prosperity of the society!

The Sick Figz

Everyone at Lourdes High School Department in third year must have known about the sig fig hype. This easy Chemistry lesson talks about Significant Figures and how to count and use 'em during mathematical equations, hence the term was created. Everyone is getting addicted to this particular phrase. Even my comrades want to name ourselves as the Sig Figs, especially during the Science periods and possibly the upcoming Immersion.

But I want my platoon to express more finesse in the catchphrase. This time, we should call ourselves the Sick Figz, epitomizing our being unique as the Cream class and daring in all situations. What do you say comrades? Reply using the CBox feature enabled on this electronic diary. Commander Out.

The First Day at the Boot Camp

The day went well and all Recruits know their respective Commanding Officers and Generals. The class of Blessed Benedict had their good times, and it turned out that testosterone is stronger this year than the last one. Why? Most of our CO's and Generals are male! In the previous years, most Officers were women. Nothing's wrong with that, but a lot of us need to take some time to get used to the situation.

Alpha male presence or no presence, we should still focus on our work and do our very best.

That is all comrades. Commander out.

Student Invasion Imminent

Comrades! Tomorrow will be our first day of school. Have you prepared for the year ahead? Or are you still sleepy from the last summer? Better get your butts off the chair and pack your bags for tomorrow's the big day! I'm really looking forward to see my old friends and meet fresh recruits, or, friends for this school year. But I'm sorry to say this is my last year in this school, or perhaps in the Philippines. Next year, I'll go to Houston and study in college. I know I will miss you guys, but let's make this year the best one yet!


That's all for today comrades. Commander out.

Intel From the American Heartland

As you all know, my family went to the United States for a little "break". Houston, Texas is my father's base of operations, and we used our '07 Toyota Rav-4 to see good sights in this Land of Liberty. Malls at walking distance, grocery and specialty stores scattered like leaves all over the city, multiple gadgets and gizmos everywhere, and exotic vehicles so common in roads are some stuff that you might see and experience whenever you visit America. Here are some strange facts you will mostly face in trekking this strange land:

1. Everyone's a Technophile - Everywhere you go, America has the latest gadgets in the world. Automated Tissue Paper Conveyors, iPod and Cellphone Vending Machines (yep, that's right... 20 buck bills are not accepted, nor coins. Use the credit card dude.), free-to-use Sony VAIO and Apple laptops, and Blackberry and Motorola phones rule the lives of Americans. Get used to the tech stuff. Geeks are at an advantage today.

2. My Ride's Blinged Already - Endless hordes of exotic cars and monster trucks prowl the everyday streets of Houston. Chevrolet Corvettes and Ford Mustang GT's are the most common sports cars, and Ford F-series Texas trucks are really big (twice the size of the F-150) there. Put it like this : our no. of tricycles are their no. of exotics, and our no. of jeeps are their no. of trucks. That many comrades, that many.

3. It's 9 pm. !!!?!?!?? - Yep, the sun's still up even at 9 pm. In the Philippines, it's pitch-black already at 7 pm. whileas the moon is nowhere to be found yet in Houston. Better rethink your schedules and don't trust the sun much there.

4. Serve Yourself - In the United States, self-service is all the rage in all food establishments and gasoline stations to promote people's responsibilities as good citizens. No cleaners, not a lot of waiters, and also no gas boys to see there! If you want it done right, do it yourself. Practising such responsibilities makes America an organized and prospering country.

5. Food, Glorious Food! - Our large drinks are their peewee thirst quenchers. Their small value size meals are our good-for-3 monster lunches. Our buffets are nothing compared to theirs. Nuff' said.

That's all for today comrades. Commander out.
