Ok, I’m visiting my DA account for just 30 minutes. I couldn’t help not to visit.

I went back to my hometown on Friday night to register for the upcoming baranggay elections because my politics professor won’t let me take the exam without proof that I’m a registered voter. I went to the comelec office yesterday at about 6am only to find tons of people lined-up since 3am. Most of the people there were already agitated because they they’ve been coming there already for a couple of days but still couldn’t register. Last year, the registrations were held at the barangay halls but now it’s been centralized at the comelec office. But, unfortunately, the people running that office are incompetent and could not handle the volume of people who want to register. The police were already there because the people were already turning into a mob. And I was surprised to hear such words as “hinagpis”. I’ve only been able to encounter this word in Tagalog poetries and stories but never in actual verbal conversations. I know its Tagalog, and I am also a Tagalog, obviously, I was born in the southern Tagalog region. But still, I couldn’t help but be surprised. Most of the people I know either speak English or Tagalog, but when speaking with the later language, they don’t use poetic words and most of the time integrate some English words into their Tagalog sentences (e.g. Anong name mo?).
Ok, I’m deviating from my point hehe. Anyway, yesterday I was given a number of 668 and up until now, they’ve only been able to accommodate a little more than 250 people. I guess I won’t be going back to the dormitory any soon. But if on Tuesday, I’m still not registered, I’ll go back to school to take the exams on my other subjects. Darn politics professor!! We have the right to vote. A RIGHT! It means we also have the right NOT to exercise that particular right if we chose not to. It’s a CHOICE darn it! Well, those are his terms and even though I may not agree with him, I still have to obey if I want to take his exam. I really don’t like him. On one of my quizzes I got a very unacceptable grade of 78%. I never had a grade in my entire life as low as that. I still passed but I just couldn’t accept it. He wouldn’t consider my answers because he said they weren’t specific enough. Specific? Would you still specify what your answers were even though it’s already specified in the question? It’s like answering the question: How many fingers do you have on your right hand? If you answered “five”, you’re wrong and the correct answer would be “five fingers”. It’s already specified in the question, naturally, all answers proceeding from that would refer to fingers. Such stinginess can only imply that my professor accepts nothing more than what he has read. No amount of reasoning, though perfectly logical the reasons may be, would persuade him to give considerations. He also does not want us using other references aside for the book he prescribed. The answers that we may give that came from another reference, though the same just with different terminologies on some parts, he would not consider.
“Ignorance of the law excuses no one”, he would always quote but his requirement that we exercise our right is just too much. It is a “right” for goodness sakes. Whether we choose to exercise it or not is up to use. He has no right to impose that on us. But, then again, I also have the choice not to take his exam but doing so would be a loss on my part.
I do not have the book he prescribed. I either borrow or search other similar books from my mother’s library. It’s practically the same. Isn’t it suppose to be better if students use different references? That way, they can compare different views from different authors and formulate their own.
Ok this is somewhat becoming a rant but I don’t mean it to be so. In the overall conclusion of things, even though I may not agree with my environment, I have to adapt if I want to survive. After all, I can always choose whether to drop that subject or adapt. The only thing left would be if I’d be able to choose the right path.
Anyway, we shouldn’t let our emotions dictate our actions else we might find ourselves in very regrettable situations.
Well, that finishes my journal for today. I don’t know when I’ll be able to update this, probably after the exams. My 30 minutes is almost up.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!

=========================================
I AM
=========================================
Im 18 years old from the Philippines. Im quite small for my age (4'10") and people usually mistake me for a 13 year old (which really annoys me a lot). I don't go out much.. I spend most of my time at home. I only go out either to go to school or if I really need to go out (buy stuff, go with my family on vacation, etc.). Im not a very sociable person outside the net, basically Im the anti-social type. I have a lot of acquaintances but I only have 1 best friend outside the net.

But I would like to change that and make some new friends though...

My parents forced me to take up Psychology even though I really really really wanted fine arts way way back when I was still in elementary. So what am I suppose to do now? Nothing! Just study hard and hopefully get a well paying job so I can save up enough money to study fine arts. But when is that? I don't know T_T...

Right now, Im enrolled at a medical university and studying nursing. >_< (I still don't like this course).. God! Im already in my 3rd year of college and I still can't take the course that I want!!!

anyway... enough about that! I'll write about something a bit more positive. Hmm... I like to draw.. I've been obsessed with drawing ever since I saw Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke. I was totally blown away by his work that I started collecting them one by one. Hayao Miyazaki is like a God to me, he's the ultimate animator. Well... I also have some mangakas whom I consider as Gods. Obata Takeshi and Masashi Kishimoto are also my idols. If only I could become their student... I'd give up anything!!!

Lately I havent been able to draw much because of my schedule.
