I can’t believe that our name for our team in Intrams would be "Torrents"…  I’d rather choose Technocrats than Torrents. Why?  Because Technocrats are individuals with technical training and
occupations who perceive important societal problems as technological
in nature, while proposing technology-focused solutions to its
problems. Technocrats pertain to people while Torrent is a software. Torrents with an "s" would be pertaining to what? A bunch of Torrent softwares? Or maybe Torrents signifies Torrent files. Do you consider yourselves a Torrent software or a Torrent file? I can’t quite get the idea why Torrent sounds cool or what… For me, it’s sounds really lame and piracy promoting. And another thing, not all people know what Torrent is. For the sake of those who don’t know what Torrent is, it is a computer program for uploading and downloading files. Technocrats may not be also known but it’s quite clear that it is related to Computer Science. And as what Dr. Robert Roxas, Division Chairman of Computer Science Department of UP-Cebu, Torrent was made by Technocrats and the word Technocrats can be a long-lasting word and I bet there would be another software that would outwit Torrent and will gradually face-out the software.
I do use Torrent but I don’t want it to be the name of the our department… No offense to the people who voted for Torrents but Torrents just sounds very inappropriate for a department name. I hope that this name would be change next year…

When I went home yesterday, I got caught up with the rain…and it was really unexpected to rain. It’s something like a twist or… "change" maybe the appropriate word. Anyway, in relation to what I have to share, I recently felt very much relief…It’s like there was a very huge thorn in my heart that has been successfully pulled out. Thinking of the awful events that happened to me that gave me the big thorn, I now can’t even remember them. It seemed they never happened. I’m really happy that I sorted things out because I actually don’t want to live in resentment. I’m truly thankful for the opportunity that came to me and the decision I made to grab that chance…At last, I’m happy and I hope this continues…That’s all I can say for now…~_^

Konnichiwa dear friends! Now summer is coming to an end, let me share to you my summer experiences this 2007. First of all, I haven’t gone to any beach! Well, I do hope that before May comes to an end, I can go to the beach… What I do everyday is wake up around 8am…take my breakfast then turn on the computer…I watch anime online as many good titles I can see…or I download Naruto Shippuuden episodes and shoujo mangas. By the way, I also watch Bleach, Death Note, Romeo X Juliet and Lovely Complex every week…I finish watching titles like Ouran High School Host Club, Chobits, Code Geass, GTO Live Action, Howl’s Moving Castle and others that I forgot…I only stop when I eat and sleep or watch tv. It seems my summer is ok right? But this isn’t what made my summer "not-so-good". It’s because of my unfinished business in my school…Can’t mention it in detail but it’s related to my studies…This made me so much worried this summer that it’s like a thorn that can’t be unattached. Someone get this thorn out of me!!! Anyway, everything will come out ok…Can’t take this pain anymore…T_T
And oh, by the way, I’m very much happy about  the +Anime Addicted+ group I joined last year…This group kept me busy sometimes and broaden my knowledge on anime and we just celebrated our 1st anniversary…more power to our group! To all the members and my close friends there, ganbarimasu shoshite kiostsukete!~_^

I’m really happy that our play "Ibong Adarna" won the best play in our Literature subject… And that’s not all,  we almost got all the awards except for the best actress since we don’t have a lead role for an actress… Ken Flores won as best supporting actor for his role as Prinsipe Pedro (the evil prince…hahaha!) and I dare say he has the abilities of a real actor… Rubie Cabatingan won as best supporting actress for her role as "Matandang Babae" and "Ermitanyo" since being an old lady was a really tough role… Christopher Bayaga won as best actor for his role as Prinsipe Juan because he has projected the role very well despite the long lines he had to memorize… Judylyn Tan won as Best Director for the reason that she has the abilities and skills to make the best directions… She was really good, I tell you… And lastly, "Ibong Adarna" won as the best play!!! I’m very much happy that I even forgot my  worries and problems for a time… I want to express my biggest gratitude to my co-members who did their best to make this play a successful one… Acknowledgment to Ms. Christine Joy Mendez for her help and support in making our backdrops and costumes…
I’ll never forget this achievement of ours…~_^

I really wished this is just a dream… And hoped to wake up soon…But unfortunately, it’s not. This is reality…
On a not nice Saturday, we were to present our project in a not-taught-well subject. Our schedule was damned very early to be in 9am and we hadn’t finished our project yet. And bad luck came when the internet got disconnected… It was pass 9 already when we arrived at school. We were so late but we can’t control the circumstances that occurred. The "baka" prof of ours never tried to understand us and just told us to wait for his "verdict" on Monday. Monday came and so was his posting of evaluations for those who have presented. Where’s the verdict for those who hasn’t presented? I can’t find it in the post. So, we ask the "baka" prof and he said that he can’t decide yet. Why can’t he decide yet? He must decide now so as not give us more burden and not to hope that we can still pass his subject. We hoped for a chance that is not existing??? That’s stupid! And what’s this something about not counting the effort in grading the project? Honestly, is he really a prof? All we ask is a chance that he’ll accept our project and I don’t care if he makes deductions as long as we have a grade for it. Why can’t he understand students? I just can’t take this anymore…I think my heart’s gonna break down anytime now…This is the worst among anything else that had happened in my 18 years of existence…Chrisma Joyce Endrina, an honor student of STEC, the most punctual and high in justice, failed a subject in her college course because she was late to pass a project??? What a disgrace to my name…
I really wished that one day, I’ll wake up in this very terrible nightmare…but I guess it can’t be helped. What I’m wishing now is that a chance will be given to us. May God be on our side at this tough time and make a way for us to be given a chance.

My classmates and I just arrived from Bohol last Sunday and so, we were very tired and can’t even open a notebook… An exam was scheduled on the next day but we "assumed" that it’s ok to take the exam on Tuesday because our Prof said that if we can’t take the exam on Monday, then we can take it on Tuesday… And since we had no time to study, my freinds and I decided to ask our Prof and take the exam on Tuesday… And our Prof got angry… Why? I don’t know… Maybe she misinterpreted everything… She wanted that the whole class should decide the schedule of the exam so we immediately contacted the others, which ofcourse thought that’s it’s  ok to take the exam on Tuesday without telling our Prof. Then our Prof made an unexpected decision, that is, the students who were not there at that moment can’t take the exam and eventually gets 5 for a grade… And not all of us was there… How rude of her to make that decision where in the first place, we asked her to move the exam from Monday to Wednesday or Thursday before we went to Bohol but she insisted it to be Monday and if we can’t take it on Monday, we’ll take it on Tuesday…We really thought that was the deal…I felt guilt to those who can’t take the exams especially the ones who are not included in our block… They must have been ready to take the exam on that day… Our Prof believe that what we were doing is like asking special treatment while the others will not have that treatment…I really cried for those who were suppose to take the exam on that day, to those who can’t take the exam, and for the fact that our Prof is really mad on our section…I’m really hoping for something good to come to erase these undesirable Social Science events…

I should have posted this a long time ago but since the internet was down, I just had the time now…First of all, I thank God for giving me the chance to invite my friends to my 18th birthday and making it possible for them to come… Next, I want to thank my family, Daddy Toping, Mama Jing-Jing, Kuya Wan-Wan, and Ate Kring-Kring , who gave their time and effort to make my day a success…  I want to say thank you very much to my high school friends (Esmie, Ti-ann, Gib-Gib, Kristel, Rex, Veron, Joyce, Omela, Ellys, Randy, Art, Stephen, Ching, Glaiza) who came to my birthday despite the fact that it was a busy day for everybody because it was new year the next day… Thank you also to my college friends (April, Lovely, Stefanny, Rubie) who greeted me eventhough not one of them came to my birthday… I understand that their homes are far from mine. Some of them also greeted me in our yahoogroups and I was really touched (Jason and Paula)… Thank you very much… Take care always my friends and God bless!~_^

December 17, 2006 - it’s the 61st birthday of my beloved father and I’m really happy and thankful to God that He gave another year to my father… Eventhough I’m always bullying my dad and call him funny names, I actually love him so much… On the day of his birthday, I greeted him when I woke up.  Our whole family went to church for Misa de Gallo (my older sister was not with us since she’s in Manila). We prepared food for the celebration and it so nice to see that my family were glad as well. After the lunch celebration, my father and brother went to the mall to buy a new TV and after maybe one hour, my tiyo that is, the brother of my father, suddenly arrived in our house, together with his wife and children so to surprise my father. Really a bad timing since my father hasn’t arrived yet. But still, we celebrated my dad’s birthday and talked a lot… And after two hours of waiting, my dad and my brother came home. We chatted more and laughed more and I felt real joy at that time… And then after so much talk, my tiyo and family bid farewell with happy faces…

To my beloved father, thank you for everything… Thank you for always being their for me… I’m really thankful that you are my "Daddy"… Happy Birhday!!!!

Naruto Shippuden Starts in 2007, Movie
Due in Summer
—————————————
—————————————
According to TV Tokyo’s official website for the Naruto TV series, a new chapter in the Naruto Anime series, entitled "Naruto Shippuden" (literally translated, Naruto Gale Saga or Naruto Wind Saga) will begin airing in early Spring 2007.

Further more, a movie for the "Shippuden" series is scheduled to hit Japanese theatres in Summer 2007.

Most of the promotional materials include the phrase "Naruto will
change!" The "Naruto Shippuden" portion of the manga takes place 2.5 years later, and features several character design changes. You can see these on TV Tokyo’s promotional page
for Shippuden here(http://www.tvtokyo.co.jp/anime/naruto/sippuuden/index.html).

Not many details have been released yet, but according to the TV Tokyo website, some footage will be shown at the "Jump Festa" on December 17th and "special news" for Shippuden will be shown in theatres along with the Bleach - Memories of Nobody movie that enters theaters on December 16th.

Have you experienced a situation wherein someone close to your heart neglects you? Its just so disappointing… and in fact, I’ve been waiting for the time that we could talk and reconcile things up. My heart was even beating very fast when I saw that person… I don’t know why. But then, it was I expected anyway… I just realized that there is really something in me that wants to clarify with that person… But my opportunity was gone… I was about to make the first move but I guess that someone was avoiding me… And it just hit me. This is reality. That someone was not the same person I’ve known before… The person I’ve known before is not coming back… How stupid of me think that the person is still the same after the many things have happened… Anyway, I just hope that that someone will continue to be good… And I really do hope that that someone still considers me as a friend… To the people reading this, I know you’re confused of the person I’m referring to… I know if that person read this, that person will eventually know… So much of the mystery… Well, that’s all I can say for now…
