Ilang taon na tayong magkakilala. Hinding-hindi ka nawawala sa aking isipan. Sa ating nabibilang na mga araw, walang pagkakataon na naging “plane” ang ating matamis na pagsasama. 


Naalala mo ba noong nagbisect ang ating mga buhay sa isa’t isa? ‘Di ko malimutan ang iyong unang mga magigiliw na salita sa akin. Kahit ngayon, umaalingawngaw pa rin ang mga ito sa aking tainga, “Babe, you hot. Walang panahon na hindi ko hahanapin ang coordinates mo sa kahit anong quadrant *kindat*.” Ang lakas talaga ng... diskarte mo.



O, aking mahal na Descartes, nakaimprenta ang iyong geometric na mukha sa aking isipan. Mula sa iyong asymptotic na buhok, conic na ilong, solid figure, hanggang sa iyong parabolang ngiti, ‘di matutumbasan ang iyong angking kagwapuhan.



Sa ating pagsasama, napansin ko na marami akong ‘di maintindihan sa ugali mo. ‘Di ko maintindihan kung bakit nagtatapon ka ng mga mansanas sa sahig porket may isang sira na. ‘Di mo naman kailangan itapon para makita ang sira at hindi. Matamis pa rin naman ang karamihan ng mansanas, tulad lang ng iyong mainit na mga halik. 



Palagi mo rin akong tinatanong kung nandito ba talaga ako o niloloko ka lang ng mga pandama mo. Minsan naaasar ako rito. Sinusubukan kitang intindihin, pero paikot-ikot ka lang naman. Sa kabila nito, humihingi ka palagi ng tawad. Sinasabi mo, may Evil Genius sa iyong kaluluwa na pinapaduda kung tunay nga ba ang ating pagmamahal sa isa’t isa.

Descartes, kahit balang araw titigil nang gumana ang utak natin at mawawala tayo sa mundo, gusto kong tandaan mo, taos-puso kitang minamahal habang buhay pa ako. Descartes, I think I love you, therefore… I do.

Nagmamahal,

Ang Nagmamahal Sa’yo

Ayaw ko na talaga.

Tatlo kaming magkakapatid. Si Mary Anne ang bunso, Mary Jane ang pangalawa, at siyempre ako na panganay na si Mary Tym Silkroad. Ipinanganak kasi ako sa kalagitnaan ng paglalakwatsa ni Mama at Papa sa nasabing kalsada, humigit kumulang 18 taon na ang nakalipas. Laking gulat nga nila nang bigla akong sumulpot sa mundo agad eh. Dahil dito, hindi ako nabigyan ng agarang medikal na atensyon kaya naman lumaki akong sakitin. Hindi ako palaging pinapayagan ni Papa na lumabas ng bahay, panakot  niya sa akin ay baka “maubuhan” ako at ma-stroke. Dapat malinis palagi ang paligid, 100% organic o masustansya ang aking mga kinakain, at perpekto ang lahat pagdating sa akin.

Pakiramdam ko, dahil sa espesyal na pagtratong ito, naiinggit ang aking mga nakababatang kapatid. Hindi lang sa loob ng bahay namin ako nakararamdam ng pang-aalipusta kundi pati na rin sa eskwelahan. Ewan ko ba kung bakit, pero palagi na lang nila akong pinagdidiskitahan gamit ang mahahapdi nilang salita. Alalang-alala ko pa noong Grad Ball namin; namumula ang aking pisngi dulot ng sinag ng araw, pumapalatak ang suot kong takong sa madulas na sahig, at pumarada sa aking harapan ang mamahalin naming sports car. Bigla na lang akong binitiwan ni Mary Anne at Mary Jane ng masasakit na salitang dumurog sa aking dibdib:

           “Wow ate, ang ganda niyo!” ani nila.

Maganda lang? Tinabunan ko na nga ng sandamakmak na make-up pati labi ko tapos maganda lang sasabihin niyo beh?

Kumaripas ng takbo ang sasakyan patungo sa tanghalan ng Grad Ball na may temang: Wrecking Ball, the Magnificent. Ito na ang huling pagkakataon na makikita ko ang aking mga mapanlait na kaklase. Pagdating sa venue, agad kong iniwasan ang tingin ng matatalas nilang mga mata. Napansin ko kung paano lumobo ang kanilang mga pisngi nang makita ako. Pakiramdam ko, pinagtatawanan nila ang aking pagmumukha at kasuotan.

Nakasalubong ko pa sa pinto si Poseidon at naisipan niya pa akong punahin. Hindi ko na masyadong narinig ang mga salita niya pagkat nagliyab na ang aking noo.

“HA?” paulit kong tanong.

“Wow girl, you shine bright like a diamond!” nakangiti niyang pag-uulit.

HAKDOG ang nais kong isigaw. Bruha ka! Pwes you look like a plastic kasi plastic ka.

Nagtimpi na lang ako at nagpasalamat. Grabe, hindi pa nga ako nakakapasok ng pinto, sira na agad ang araw ko. Tunay ngang matinik ang kanilang dila.

Ano ‘tong nararamdaman kong gumagapang sa aking dibdib? Is this Alienation?

Sobrang lungkot ko na sa puntong iyon, hindi na ako makapagpokus sa sinasabi ng kasayaw ko lalo na’t may isang hilera pa ng mga lalaki ang naghihintay para sayawin  ako.

Grabe talaga ‘tong solitude na ito, simula sa loob ng bahay hanggang sa paaralan, feeling ko I’m always not invited.

Bigla akong sinapian at nagmartsa palabas ng silid.

“Mary Tym, paano na yung pila ng boys na gusto kang sayawin?” bulyaw ni Frigidork.

Naglakad-lakad muna ako kung saan-saan para mapakalma ang aking sarili. Tinangay na lang ako ng agos ng pag-iisip patungo sa isang liblib na lugar na pinagtitirahan ng kung tawagin nila ay informal settlers. Nagkatitigan kami ni manong at nangati ang aking paa tumakbo papalayo ngunit bigla siyang umubo. Tumalikod ako upang makaiwas at namataan ang isang ordinaryong pamilya sa isang sulok. Gula-gulanit ang kanilang kasuotan, nangangayayat ang nakababata nilang kapatid, at ang tanging proteksyon lamang nila mula sa init ng araw ay ang mga pinagpatong-patong na yero. Higit sa lahat, ang tunay na pumantig sa aking damdamin ay ang mala-scripted nilang pagtatawanan matapos magyakapan sa isa’t isa. Pinaghatian nila ang isang piraso ng pritong talong at Pampanga’s BEST Tocino. Napahinga na lamang ako nang malalim at umuwing nag-iisa pabalik sa aming tahanan, nakadilat ang mata nang mas malaki kumpara sa dati.

Si Crush ❤️

Miss na kita…

E d i   w a o

Do you alam ba

Na Love kita

Kahit short oras pa lang you kilala

I mahal you to the dulo ng earth

Ang very bait you kasi tuwing I see you

And ikaw very seryoso sa relationship

Kaya kita na-like kahit hindi tayo close to isa’t isa

But we kilala each other naman

That’s why bawat day kinakausap kita

Para I can get to kilala you more

Pero sa true, sobrang na shy me sa’yo

Because bihira lang you maka-talk

And isang day may na-think me

Sabi ko to myself habang nasa class

“Umamin na me kaya para hindi na me marupok”

At I told my kaibigan about dito

“Ikaw marupok ka sa all”

Ang told ng isa to me

“Sure, make habol to the babae”

Told the pangalawa

“Basta kung where ka happy doon you”

Salita of the last person

And I sinunod the advice of huling katauhan

Dahil there I pinakanaligalig

Kaya me told you during huling klase

“May story akong ikukuwento to you”

And pumayag ka naman na magpa-story

Kaya we punta sa 2nd floor

And sinabi me na yung aking secret

“I mahal you”

And you sagot to me

“Nani”

At nag-laugh the both of tayo

And you sabi sa’kin hindi ko ma-forget

“I mahal you too”

Hahahaha - Ito yung pinakatradisyonal na response

Hehehehe - Kapag nag-cha-chat ka at gusto mong mag-sound polite at mabait

This story occurred in the days before the summer of 1984. This is the story of a Grade 9 University of the Philippines Integrated School student named John and his friend, Lorrie. This is a story of two individuals that destiny purposely kept ignorant of the truth, until now.

Every day after class, John looks forward to seeing his good friend Lorrie. As he leaves his last class, he goes past the library and then towards the parking lot. There he sees his good friend Lorrie waiting for him.

He has known Lorrie ever since he was in Grade 7. Though they were never classmates or even batchmates, he became good friends with Lorrie when he would meet her every day on his way to first class and on his way home from his last class. Sometimes he even ate lunch with her.

One day, John has a long test in his mathematics class. So, he tells Lorrie about it. Lorrie, on the other hand, was quite upset about losing her precious pen. She has had that pen since her first day at UPIS as a present from her parents. John, being the good friend he is, offers to help her find it.

They spend the rest of the day going through the places Lorrie thinks it would be. Though they don't find the pen, they appreciate the time that they spent with each other and treasure their friendship even more.

The next day, John hears rumors of Lorrie spending time with Rocky. He does not know why but he feels jealous of Rocky.  He realizes that he wants something more than friendship with Lorrie. Unsure of how Lorrie might react, he waits for the right time to ask Lorrie about their friendship.

Some days pass with John and Lorrie following their routine of seeing each other. John eventually gathers his courage to tell Lorrie once he finally believed that his feelings were true.

On the last day of class, as they are walking towards the gate to leave, John stops walking and honestly tells Lorrie that he had developed feelings for her after all the time that they spent together. Lorrie turns as pale as a statue, she then tells John that she shares his infatuation and feelings.

She then tells John that since it is the last day of classes, they are not in a rush to leave. She asks if they could spend some time with each other before the long summer break where they would be apart from each other. She barely finishes talking when John hugs her closely.

. . .

So far, it has been a normal day for Fredrick, the security guard of the University of thle Philippines Integrated School. The sun is setting, the last of the students had already left and he had just finished his cup of coffee in his guard shack. It’s time for his nightly patrol through the silent school.

He passes through the back side of the library, past the Rockman statue and the flagpole. He was entering the parking lot when he sees something that shocks him to the core. There it is, a student sharing a very passionate kiss with the Teacher statue.

Kore wa my story de-su ~

こにちわ (that’s konichiwa for you who dont speak Nihongo like me) Sorrymasen, watashi no Nihongo (that means Japanese) wa notto guddu desu. (*>_<*)ﾉ Jitsu wa, I haven't spoken with Nihonjin before, and I really want to benkyou in a Japanese High Schooru to meet Japanese girls! Sugoi! Watashi wa daisuki AKB48 and Baby Metal desu. Demo most of all, anime wa aishiteru desu ne!!! (≧▽≦) Sore wa because otaku (not weeaboo) desu! Actually, watashi learned Nihongo through anime desu. I also want to be famous anime voice actor and get kekkon (that's married) with my waifu desu! Ever since watashi saw anime, watashi wished to be born again as a Nihonjin. Everyday, since watashi is always chikoku from binge watching anime all night, watashi Naruto run with bread in my mouth from house to the classroom. I also eat ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner just like a true Japanese! Itadakima-su! (^o^)!!!! When watashi gets to the classroom, I zutto sit beside the window in the back of the room like in harem anime. Demo sadly, there are no kawaii girls in this school like Sakura and Misty. This is why watashi wants to benkyou in Japanese High Schooru! ٩(♡ε♡ )۶ Hai, watashi do have a girl tomodachi senpai, demo senpai is not kawaii nor a childhood friend. She is very tsundere actually, like one time, watashi was slapped for making her call me “Onii-chan~.” At first, watashi was mad, but then watashi realized that her slap made me feel kimochi… Now, she isn’t my tomodachi anymore. (｡>﹏<｡) Watashi always has to go home hitori now because of what happened. Sabishii! Dont worry tho, because my thousand moon laser beam will always save the day! Everything will be daijoubu! Omae wa mou shindeiru!

Also, watashi still don’t wakaru why my parents don’t want me to watch anime. Anime is always there for my kokoro when they are not! Kore wa the reason why watashi will never give up on anime and waifus! Watashi will itsumo daisuki Japan desu!

Again, watashi wa not a weeaboo. Watashi wa only otaku desu. Watashi dont disrespect Japanese culture for your information. Tsun! Baka! (￣ー￣)

Nani?! What time is it desu ka?!

Oh well, watashi has to go to bed now. Watashi cant be chikoku again for classes tomorrow. Sensei will kill me if I do! Yabai!

Arigathanks gozaimuch for listening to my TED talku. Goodbye-onara! ＼(^o^)／

RESEARCH PROPOSAL

I.         Topic/Title: Sleep Deprivation among UPIS 7 – 12 Students

II.        Background:

Sleep is an “important” part of the life of a UPIS student. It is known to contribute to his/her emotional stability and enhanced school/athletic performance. The UPIS Clinic advises that students have at least seven hours of sleep every day in order to reap the aforementioned benefits.

However, according to the UPIS Administration, a lot of students suffer from sleep deprivation. Due to an immense number of projects, training hours, and other demanding requirements, they fail to have even a nap every day. According to them, they have become “vampires” who cram every night.

Sleep deprivation is known to have severely negative effects to UPIS students. Because of being “sabaw” and “lutang”, the time it takes for them to process information is delayed. Black eye shadows begin to appear, thus indicating a higher risk of heart attack, diabetes, stroke, etc. Moreover, the rate of students “sleeping” on the beds of the UPIS Clinic and the sleeping corners in classrooms has increased by 999% over the past three years. However, most of the UPIS students claim they “do not care” about the sleep deprivation they are experiencing. They think it is a “normal” thing and thus accept its negative effects.

With that, it is important to study the importance of sleep among UPIS 7 – 12 students. This will help the students consider “sleeping more frequently”. Meanwhile, the UPIS Faculty will be able to understand their situation and spread sleep awareness in the school.

III.        Thesis Statement: UPIS 7 – 12 students suffer from sleep deprivation.

IV.        Objectives of the Study:

A.    To determine the percentage of UPIS 7 – 12 students who experience sleep deprivation

B.    To find out the factors accelerating the rate of sleep deprivation among UPIS 7 – 12 students

V.         Research Questions:

A.    What is the percentage of UPIS 7 – 12 students who experience sleep deprivation?

B.    What are the factors accelerating the rate of sleep deprivation among UPIS 7 – 12 students?

VI.       Significance of the Study. The study will be significant to the following:

A.    UPIS Students. This study will help UPIS students see the importance of sleep in their lives. It will discourage them from “laughing off” their sleep deprivation and make them aware of its negative effects.

B.    UPIS Faculty & Administration. This study will help the two institutions understand the need of their students to sleep. It may inspire them to consider sleep as a core value of UPIS. Moreover, they may think about adding sleep as a main subject in UPIS.

C.     Other Schools. This study will help students and teachers from other schools see the importance of sleep as well. According to a recent study by DepEd, 101% of the schools in the Philippines experience sleep deprivation. Bearing in mind that fact, they may consider integrating sleep into their respective curricula.

VII.       Methodology:

1. Respondents. All UPIS 7 – 12 students will be sampled for the study.

2. Locale. The study will be conducted at the UPIS 7 – 12 Building.

3. Instruments and Data Gathering. A survey questionnaire inquiring the number of hours and factors of sleep deprivation will be used. In addition, an interview schedule will enhance the findings from the questionnaire. The questions will be based on the sleep self-assessment test by Psycom.

4. Statistical Analysis Method. For quantitative data, comparison of frequency means of the hours of sleep of UPIS 7 – 12 students will be used. The chi-squared test will also be used to determine the factors of sleep deprivation. Qualitative analysis will be incorporated via the aforementioned interview schedule.

Dear Journal,

Sorry bro, ‘di talaga kasi ako marunong mag-journal. But I know ito raw ‘yung ginagamit ng mga people to express what their nararamdaman is, like parang diary? or dairy ba ‘yon? I really don’t alam. Pero I’ll try my best sa journal na ‘to.  

So dude pareh tsong, today was so lit. I went to the McLibee tapos I went to the counter.

Nakangiting sinabi sa’kin ni kuya cashier, “Sir, this side na lang po,”

So sinundan ko siya and I was like parang na-weirdohan kasi it’s confusing na na-confuse siya. O, ‘di ba pati ikaw na-confuse sa confusing na sinabi ko. Anyway so I followed him and he was like,

“Sige, sir, this side po tayo,” sabi niya again sa’kin and my face was literally mukhang napasabak sa Trigonometry class with Juan Las Klas of my life. As in I was nata-meme, pero ‘di dahil sa na love at first sight ako kay koya. But because na “luh?” at first hear ako kay koya.

“I’m sorry?” sabi ko kay kuya cashier.

“Okay lang po, take your time,” sagot niya sa’kin while smiling tapos parang nang-aasar na siyang hindi ko maintindihan kasi malay ko ba kung pinagti-tripan niya lang ako.

Baka naman maybe kasi mukha talaga akong “cuteful-looking” na taong person. Oh ‘di ba, I’m super conyo pa like super vulnerable ako sa mga trip ng mga people. My chinito burgisness is so obvious and people are so madaling niloloko si ako. So I thought he was playing games with me talaga. Edi sana tumakbo na ako, ako pala yung taya, char!

Pero anyway, ‘di ko na na-keri yung panloloko ni kuya guy, so I asked, “Pano pong “this side”? I can’t ma-gets kuya,” sabi ko, while kamot-ing my ulo.

Of course, no surprise but pero, sumagot si kuya!

He said, “This side po kayo, ser. This side po kayo ng order,”

Ako namang cutie ang braincells, ‘di pa rin naintindihan. So I asked, yet again.

“This side ako ng order?” sabi ng napakagwapo kong mga labi.

“This side po, magdecide po kayo ng order,” sagot niya.

And I was like yung parang meme na where you’ll see this:

Me:

My last braincells:

Yung counter:

Si McLibee:

‘Di ba? Nakakaloka! Pero at least nakuha ko yung order ko, kasi naman, it was April 1st pala, so ‘yon, pinagtripan ako ni koya cashier guy. but it’s okay, kasi my hunger was filled. HAHAHA ano daw???

So ‘yon, yun lang naman ang funny moment ko today, Journal. Nakaka-Loki, Son of Odin! Sana nag-enjoy ka. ‘Til next time again, Journal!

Your very truly handsomely awesome writer,

Dwud Peireh Zhong.

PROMISE.

Umagang-umaga pa lamang

Excited na kaming gumapang

Papunta sa kantinang binabantayan

Ng aming Papa Allan

Oh jusko, hindi kami mapakali

Nagmumuni-muni, nagbabakasakali

Na siya ang maabutan mamayang tanghali

Sa pagpili, pagbili, pati na sa pagsukli

Sa pagdating ng eleven thirty

Hinahanda na ang aming sarili

Na rumampa, kabugin

At bagyuhin ang kantin

Sa pagbukas ng pintuan

Agad natanaw ang kanyang kakisigan

Mga brasong sumasalok ng gulaman

O kay sarap namang titigan

Sa mop na kanyang ini–islide

Kami napapa-jusko day

Sa pag-abot niya ng lollipop

We just can’t make ourselves stop

Sa pagbili ng aming kakainin

Option namin siyang bilhin

Pero kung di niya kakayanin

Pwede ring siya na lang ang ulamin

Sa bawat hagod niya ng gulaman

Nanginginig ang aming kalamnan

Tuloy di namalayan

Kami na pala’y kanyang sinuklian

Si Papa Allan.

Bow.

Hindi ko pa rin mawari ang dahilan

Kung bakit hanggang sa kasalukuyan

Ay ganito pa din kalakas ang epekto mo

Na isang bati mo lang ay nabubuhay na ang katawang lupa ko

Hindi naman kita araw araw nakikita

Ngunit isang bati lang mula sa’yo guro kong binata,

Araw ko’y buo na

Kung minsan nga’y hanggang isang buong linggo pa

Labis nga akong nagpapasalamat sa hagdan

Na nakadugtong sa dulo ng silid aklatan

Dahil kasabay ng iyong pagdaan dito tuwing Wednesday/Friday

Ay ang kilig na nagpapatalon sa puso kong kulang na lang ay sumigaw ng ‘Hooray!’

Di ko tuloy maiwasang mamiss

Ang mga klase mong sa attendance ay wala akong mintis

Ang sarap bumalik sa mga panahong iyon

Kung saan ikaw ang guro at ang asignatura’y hindi pa Ekon

Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ng kilig na iyong hatid

Ako’y lubusang nagpapasalamat at nais kong ipabatid,

Sa ngalan ng sanlibutang brenzoned na sa iyo,

Salamat po sa inspirasyon at motibasyong dulot ninyo.
