Not Really New but It makes me feel New and Better!

There are a lot of things that bother me lately. But one thing's for sure, I'm happy that I get to be involved and attached with the university stuffs now compared to my previous years though I've also been affiliated to certain some. I'm joining organizations although I am hesitant to this specific org which I don't get the point of joining but then there are people convincing me too yet to my surprise, I REGISTERED! *weird*

I am now attached with XU's School of Business and Management Student Council as a student leader of which I was appointed or given the responsibility as a Deputy Commissioner of the Students' Rights and Welfare Department (STRAW) - an autonomous body linked with the Central Government's Xavier Students' Action Center (XSAC). I am happy with the current happenings in my college life yet I am very much looking forward to ACEing my academics since I wanna do the best of what I can not just for now but until I graduate hopefully, INSHALLAH! :)

And also, I just also joined the Junior Philippinies Institute of Accoutants XU Chapter (XU-JPIA) although in my previous university, I was automatically a member when I enrolled in the Accountancy Program.

Things are making their good ways to me now and it's helping me a lot!

The Young Generation of the Relatives of Sultan Mohammad Ali Dimaporo Grand Reunion with KQD =)

June 7, 2009 the final date of which it was initially scheduled as May 28-30, 2009. It had gone to series of obstacles until finally, this Grand Reunion was made possible.

This reunion was initiated for us, young generations, of the relatives of the late Sultan Mohammad Ali Dimaporo(SMAD) in order for us to get to know each other and in a way get to bond even at this very moment only. With these, it would also strengthen the relationship and family ties of today's generation and for the upcoming ones Inshallah!

The late Sultan's cousin Sultan Muliloda Macarangkat Datumulok Dimaporo is my grandfather and is currently the only one left among the great ancestors of the Mangotara sa Binidayan. The latter would like to come but he wasn't able. But he was happy indeed for the said event and the like with regards to his family and relatives for we are seeking for unity and camaraderie among us.

SMAD's grandson now the incumbent Governor of Lanao del Norte and son of Cong. Abdullah Dimakuta Dimaporo, Khalid Q. Dimaporo, was the main guest of the event for he showed, even during the first reunion held in Mindanao Civic Center last April, sincere interest with regards to the unifying event as it was said. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to listen properly to what he had delivered during his speech for I was out for something too personal so I won't be able to share some points here.

The reunion didn't actually start well since there was improper dissemination of information but overall, it was good. During the program, everyone's like busy with different kind of things and as I've heard from some, it was quite unorganized but this is acceptable for this is the first time and the young generation's committee also did their very best to achieve something that would be grateful for all. If only everyone did cooperate really well. Imperfections are inevitable anyway. This is something that each one of us could learn from.

So much for that, there were series of activities held including the groupings that may be held permanently for the upcoming Sports Festival and Grand Reunion with elders hopefully. I belonged to the 3rd group and I only knew a very few from our group. This is quite interesting for I can hopefully get to know some other relatives I am undoubtedly unfamiliar with.

As I've said, the reunion was good! It went well. Thanks to the persons behind who made it possible and especially to the hardwork of the Working Committee who spent most of their summertime to do the preparations and until the final day. And a very big thanks to our creator, the Almighty Allah (SWT) for keeping us safe and well all these days up to now!

I've always been a proud kin of the Datumulok Family especially the soaring high LILOKINS! =)

PBA: Politika, Basketball at Artista

Funny it may seem that Filipinos are so much into politics, sports, and entertainment. Well it's a great thing that Filipinos are indeed known when it comes to these fields but believe it or not, mostly are not quite pleasing. It's not pleasing to the point that we make funny things regarding those inorder to supress the trueness of the undesirability of it. Regardless of any remarks or comments on these industries, I just wanna share these thoughts regarding PBA or I might say my certain views.

POLITICS (POLITIKA)
Political Periods like campaigns and elections, the streets are more flashy and crowded. It can be considered more extravagant than a fiesta! It's already annoying because all you'll ever see are campaign ads posted everywhere and just when you thought someone's gonna give you fliers/pamphlets regarding an opportunity, it's actually a campaign ad still! There's nothing wrong with that but the fact that it's already too much is ridiculous. Another thing that's dominant during these periods are the TV Ads or visits by the rich candidates. They're usually with influential/"sikat" Artists and/or basketball players in order for them to gain more of people's attention. This idea is both beneficial to the candidate and the "endorser". It's a matter of give-and-take.

When it comes to candidacy, it's so funny to think that there are a lot of rallies against the government that occured a million times already when for all we know, it's the people that put those officials in their respective seats. Well some may say that those candidates bought their positions and we can do nothing about it yet we let them. We say they're just so powerful but have we ever thought that we made them also that way? I mean for those who really took their side into this matter.

Since 2010 Elections is fast approaching we're now aware of the early campaigns and "help-for-the-people" strategies by those rumored or now known soon-to-be running for certain positions figures by next year. TV, radios, billboards, newspapers, and the like were slowly flooded by names of these political figures. I was wondering since last year that the roads that I get to travel each day are almost all under constructions/re-constructions. I mean after a certain part, here goes another and this is obviously unusual. Oh well, I didn't say it's one of the strategies but it could be (for the benefit of the doubt). haha! But let's take on the brighter side, after all it's a long wait that our rocky-holey-semi-concrete roads are on its way to be better. :D And that at least the taxes that were paid are in a way used to ease the lives of the Filipinos. ^__^

SPORTS (more likely Basketball)
From Street-like to Town game to NCAA and UAAP to PBA. Almost everyone's so into it. It's a major event aside from Pacqiuao's matches of course! Basketball players from NCAA , UAAP, and PBA are instant celebrities too! And I honestly consider myself a BIG FAN! Like any other girls who go "gaga-over-the-players". :) Anyhow, these basketball thing is now dominating the interests of mass. Sold out tickets and overcrowded play dates can attest to it. It is like saying you're not a Filipino if you're not a fan of basketball and/or the players itself! Well I believe I am a Filipino! haha! But of course, NBA is rocking mostly the middle and upperclass teens and adults. Still Filipinoish. hehe =)

ENTERTAINMENT (Mga Artista in any point)
Showbiz rules the Philippines as I could say. haha! Where do we get the new trends (aside from those who are really into the fashion world and attends every shows of prominent designers), the latest of all the latest buzzes and the much talked about hunks and hot girls in the country and abroad especially nowadays with the highly paid attetntion Korean Version of Meteor Garden and Hayden-Katrina Video. We're so much carried away with what this industry gives us that we never thought it has already invaded us. It may not be necessarily local showbiz but also international ones. If you'd ever disagree, think twice. You may be called "abnormal" or "as-if". hehehe =)

That's how I see this PBA Industry, some of you may agree and some might as well contradict. This is a democratic country anyway. ^__^ And I'm kinda feeling bored that I come up with this one. hahaha. :)) And now I'm tired. I don't want to make it any longer na. It's gonna be too senseless by then. hehe.

TWEENZ for reasons!

TWEENZ. Twins? biological twins? Could be mistaken as one (but most people who don't know us think yes!). We didn't really grew up together nor our age were that close. Haffy/Owie, Hafsha Darwiza M. Guro, is my maternal aunt's eldest child/daughter. We don't really look alike but people tend to believe we're really twins maybe because we call each other tweenz and we may have similar attributes that we gained from our sister mothers. This could also be caused by our super duper closeness with each other! We have similar likes and dislikes. We both love to dance and sing. We love art. We have a passion for the greatest dreams. We love to conceptualize a lot of things we really think is gonna happen with respect to our SEVERE eagerness and enthusiasm in achieving so (i do really hope!).

We both believe in depriving ourselves from limiting our abilities, talents and wild dreams because we know that these could be our stepping stone to our success in the near future. We know when one's happy or not. This is also the reason why we mostly depend on each other's comfort and support. Just like anybody else in this universe, we're also human that also know how to hurt and be hurt. We're all sinners anyway. But we give as much as possible right judgments and actions in every thing we do so as to refrain from unwanted reactions and pains to and from the people that surrounds us.

And just like any other humans who also can't be satisfied with other people and can't be appreciable to others, we too are loved and hated. That's a fact by which we accept. We can't please everybody anyway!

One thing that made us strong beyond the struggling years we've encountered is that we don't really have that 100% the same personality and likes, we also differ in certain things, yet we give each other our full support and understanding that help in our differences as beings created by ALLAH (SWT).

We want to live, laugh, and love at the very best we can!

Paper and Pen into A PAGE

Well well well! I've reached this point already of which I was never interested before. I'm not a blog fan nor a blogger itself but it seems I'm throwing the idea of it. It makes no difference with having several accounts from networking sites (i.e. facebook, friendster, myspace). But I hope this one would make me even better than exchanging "most-of-the-times" senseless stuffs with everyone in those sites. I'm not being mean or what but it's just how I'd figured it out.

Here's the thing, I usually write down my thoughts and emotions in a notebook or a paper, whatever that suits at the moment, but I'm not a DAILY JOURNAL kinda girl. It tires me and one time I was pissed by the idea of it though I wanna keep track and hold of my everyday life at some points. I just do writing whenever I want and whenever I can. It is something that helped me in a way all through my "at-this-point" existence and I'm happy with it.

I decided to come up with my own blog page for I wanna shift from literally writing to typing it by which the idea is much easier and quite artsy. I also get to share it with those interested ones. I wanna get out of my shell because after all I've realized that nothing's gonna happen if I'm just gonna keep those I've written all by myself. :)
