I love I-witness documentaries...

Just a while ago, Howie Severino documented "three teens from public schools, all headed for college at UP Diliman. These youngsters carry the weight of their families and communities' expectations as well as their branding as part of UP's centennial batch."

It included their first experiences as 'centennial iskolar ng bayan.'

"You're more excited on the last day of school than the student's are!"

looking for a gift for one of my girl friends took me to a bookstore to browse on some children's books...

yup. believe it or not, im so engrossed with children's books. blame it on my childhood issues (thanks to my roommate for the label), i dont have any memory at hand of any children's book bought for me. so now, im taking my time to invest on children's books that entices my very young heart.

in fact, i even purchased two second hand children's books from our school's bazaar just this friday.

anyway, bout the book...

since i am a frustated scientist (another childhood issue), i enjoyed reading ong's book. a book full of questions that only time can answer. not to mention the very Christian approach of opening a child's heart to aspire for the said profession. twas also amazing to find the colorful and brilliant illustations of harvey ong (the book's artist). hey! not bad for a first timer.

two thumbs up for both of the writer and illustrator and another set of thumbs up for the publisher for starting another series of books about ambitions.

[sometime in the last few days of may 2007]

i started reading this book when i was still a damn bum (eventhough im still receiving my summer payment from the unversity of the philippines. in other words, im spending the taxes your paying!). today is october 11 and i just received my professional fee from sm this morning. nonetheless, im still on page 40!

and guess what?








the book is 115 pages only. :D



echt.

dahil kaya kong magtanim ng batas sa gubat...
dahil kaya kong ipag-utos sa mga hayop ang respeto...
dahil desidido akong damitan sila ng dangal at respeto...
dahil determinado akong sugpuin ang kabangisan...
dahil nais kong magturo ng malasakit sa kapwa at pagkakaisa...
dahil kaya kong magpadikta sa bulong ng konsensya...


dahil gusto kong makialam sa natural na takbo ng buhay...





sa gubat.


Sa kabila ng lahat ng kabiguang nalalasap sa kagubatang aking ginagalawan, narito ang isang librong magbibigay ng kulay at lakas ng loob na ipaglaban mo kung ano man ang iyong pinaniniwalaang prinsipyo.

I love my ACE. He just celebrated his 2nd month with me last October 5.

With its wide screen, XP Home Ed is perfect for this one. Crystal clear resolution and wala na akong masabi... (please excuse me for not being a techno buff). As long as I can use it in making my exams and uploading nonsensestuff in the net (e.g. what your reading right now), not to mention downloading my fave songs. Im contended with those already. Err, see how shallow am i?
