Notes on The LPU Student Council Elections 2012 Part 1

It’s again that time of the year where student candidates show off again on their platforms and strategies, or so they call it.

Welcome to the crazy world called the LPU Student Elections 2012.

 

It seems that the style and the substance of a national-level election has also invaded the university. It saddens me that it has become a microcosm of our national politicking. It could be tamer than that of a national-level election, or, on the same level, as that of the previous council elections that I have witnessed in LPU.

Past, Present, Future

I would say that 2012 so far has been the most exciting, yet most challenging year for me.

Without going into much detail, I am really fortunate to have something at my disposal. Life has been so meaningful for me, Relationships have been really strong than ever, and my journey to a college degree is getting nearer than ever, with spices adding up to the journey.

YEARENDER 2011: The Top 12 Wishes for 2012

So it is the time of the year again where we will reminisce the year past and also wish for the next year. New Year 2012 is fast approaching,  and I would like to share to you the top wishes for 2012. Again this is a simple tradition for me to list down what could be my probable wishes for 2012 (and beyond) in the world of Philippine Anime, be it on TV, Web, and events.

We know you have the same wishlist as mine, so here it is!

Help is Needed; And The President is Partying.. Good God

(This is my first Political blog post, under the “Political Capital” Column and we will be doing this from now on as a regular feature and also, it is my way of sharing my thoughts and opinions about the latest news in our country. I am a voter and a citizen, and I have the democratic right to express myself, as guaranteed for in the Constitution.)

You may have heard of this, You may have watched the news or listened to it on the radio. Sendong was Ondoy’s equivalent in the Mindanao Area, a destructive force of nature.

Sendong poured out the Mindanao equivalent of a month’s rainfall in just over a few hours. As of post time, the Red Cross is expecting that the death toll will rise to about a thousand people (why am I using the Red Cross data? NDRRMC is just too ignorant to admit, that’s why) and more missing through the mud. Thirty thousand people are homeless, and billions of pesos worth of infrastructure and farmland destroyed.

And it all happened in just a night.

And while the region is reeling in with the despair. Your duly-elected President of  The Republic of The Philippines, Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III, is partying.

Birthday Message: It was a wild goose chase to reality

Saturday, 10 December, 2011

I am writing this now because I want to stick with my tradition of writing a message annually on this very day. Maybe it was in God’s faith that I was born in December that’s why I am able to write all the things that I had done in the past year. I admit, it was an emotional roller coaster ride for me, full of happiness, sorrow and tragedy. I want to erase the fact that 2011 is a bittersweet year, with two people close to me passed away this year, Marlon Lapada, a cosplayer friend, and my Grandmother.

I won’t tell much anything about the tragedies (which regards to the deaths) that struck me in 2011, because I want to leave it at that. Memories like those are usually painful for me to remember, especially with the loss of my Grandmother, who was really close to me, I look at death as a harrowing experience, full of sadness and grief, that’s why I was reluctant to visit the burial and also never joined the funeral. I just want to think of all my memories from my departed grandma when she was alive. and I hope she’d understand up there with my grandfather.

Anyway, I am writing this message not because I am forced to write but because I want to speak my heart out. I hadn’t blogged since the day I got back from school. It wasn’t easy, alongside with my duties at ZEN Otaku Honbu as the third guy in command and the guy in charge of all reporting. I had to do my duty for my family, for the university, for my passion, and for my friends all at the same time, and it was really such a daunting task, but it was fun, oh it was fun.

But something was amiss on my personal life, I was wishing that this year would be complete, but before the year was out, I was searching again.

CMGC Things: So, I had the most unusual dream I ever had.

This was originally posted on my Tumblr account

Woke up this Halloween morning with a very unusual dream, really unusual.

In my dream, I was in my HS Alma mater, in the room where my old third year section was located, then and there, I saw familiar faces (aka HS Classmates), but the thing that stupefies me the most is..

1. Alongside my HS friends, a number of my old Elementary school classmates were there, and….

2. The LPU Sentinel Batch 2007 Ed Team, that Journ batch, were my classmates too. And yeah, including him (Let’s just call him, News Ed)

Another Blog, Another New Beginning

Welcome!  Yeah, you’re not having hallucinations, This is going to be my more personal blog.

After some soul searching, on my part, I have decided that I should have my own personal blog again. The Notebook was designed to be an anime issues blog, and therefore I should only write anime issues and controversies there.

So this time, now under WordPress.com, I am bringing back my personal blogging duties. This therefore is the continuation of my old blog, The Kira Yamato Report, under an old blogging host. I chose WordPress because of my main ZEN blog, The Notebook, is hosted on WordPress. and therefore, I am now somewhat familiar to the innerworks and everything in WordPress.

I am also planning to leave WordPress.com after a year and buy a host (but importing also all the posts here to my self-hosted blog), A year would be enough, right?

Okay, so this will be a more personal blog, very different from The Notebook, Tumblr and my old blog. This will have bits and bobs of my life uncut and uncensored. It may have a G, PG or SPG rating from the MTRCB (xD) and yeah, all my life, my pursuits, and my random ramblings will be located here.

 

What you see is barely a scratch of my blog. Once I get into more inner workings and more adjustments. It will finally take the look and shape that I really wanted.

We will be blogging at random times, so be ready to be surprised… and oh, new posts will also be on my personal FB and Twitter, so watch out for that.

 

Again, Welcome to my blog, again, and welcome again to my personal world.

 

Headin’ Out!~
