Whose Name Should I Write In My Death Note First?

Weeeeeee... My patience is wearing thin... The last vestiges of my mercy will dissipate soon... Anyone who stands before me will see what I can really do... ^_^

I'll put this first. The others are to follow... Damn corruption... ^_^
500php ADMIN FEE?!
Damn... What the hell is this fee? If you'll carefully look into this image, you'll see that the Affiliation Fee costs 830/rotation. No breakdowns, no indications of anything. JUST PLAIN AFFILIATION FEE.
Lodging was stressed out to be AIR-CONDITIONED so that, obviously, parents will not complain with the 1,000php/week fee.
Transporation and Food allowance is indicated to be care of the students. Now, is there any Admin Fee there? None. Even I cannot see nor can imagine the existence of such.
Here's the gist.
The Affiliation Fee for that hospital is now only 330php/rotation. The explanation for the excess fee was that the 500php was for the Admin Fee. WTH is that? I'll find out soon...
Our Year Level Coordinator, as verbalized by a batchmate, stated that she doesn't know what the breakdown for that Admin Fee is, but in the entirety of the voucher above, she is a signatory of that voucher. Now, can it be that she knows nothing? Me, I won't sign anything unless I know every inch of what the agreement is all about. I don't know about her...
Last year, we were two batches sent to that hospital. Each is composed of 4 groups of an estimated 11 students.
500php x 11 students = 5500php Admin Fee
5500php x 4 groups = 22,000php
22,000php x 2 batches = 44,000php Admin Fee in just two weeks!
Another version I heard is that the fee is used for the communications and transportation for the hospital agreements and everything including the MoAs...
If the Fee is for the affiliated hospital, all I can say is that they're very lucky to have the contracts sent to them, our admin calling them, and they can still receive 44k per semester (a batchmate told me that that Admin Fee is only once per semester). Wow...
Yet if the Admin Fee is for our school, what the hell is that dreaded RLE Fee we were paying in our tuition fees?! And if they'll reason out that they use it for transportation and communication, I'm not that stupid to believe that. E-mail and fax is already overused. I guess they think that we think that they send the MoAs through snail mail. Tsk tsk...
I'll find out everything tomorrow. Hopefully, I won't get expelled by such action. XD

Mga Napansin Ngayong Gabi

Weeeeeeeeee...

Contrary to the title, you'll see English on the succeeding sentences. XD


1. Korean TV and Films
I happen to observe that most Koreanovelas and movies have no physical antagonist. I mean, no evil witch, evil stepmother, evil rival, evil (insert noun here). I just finished watching Coffee Prince, the Tagalog-dubbed The First Shop of the Coffee Prince... Like My Sassy Girl, which has no evil in it either, Coffee Prince also has no antagonists. Everyone is a protagonist in their own ways. Yet, problems still arise even if things go smoothly. Like the overrated Filipino movies/telenovelas where evil people shoot or have their enemies killed, rich girl/guy goes bankrupt and vice versa, Korean films and telenovelas also reflect a side of life, a side with a twist of comedy and romance, a thing that is still not tried by the Filipinos. As what (Sam Milby) Will Derby in You Are The One quoted to Sally (Toni Gonzaga):

"That's the problem with you Filipinos. You're just so melodramatic. You know you're not even my girlfriend and you're expecting me to give my soul or something."

Hehehehe...


2. Save the Ocean, Save the Forests, Save the Animals, Save the Earth = Save Ourselves

Get this logic once and for all.

Man destroys everything. Earth becomes barren. Man becomes extinct. Earth still remains.
Now, why save the Earth?

People may think that the Earth and its living resources are something to be saved. For me, it's a big NOPE.

In the Bible, the Earth and its living resources were created FIRST before man. In scientific view, the Earth has already been in existence before man evolved to its current state.

Who is the independent variable and who is the dependent variable?

Earth need not be saved. Who dies with pollution? Man. Who dies with excessive radiation or heat from the sun? Man. Who dies with suffocation or hypoxia? Man. Who dies of old age? Man. Earth has been in the universe for billions of years (I guess XD).

Who started pollution? Man. Who does things that deplete the ozone layer that causes excessive radiation? Man. Who cuts trees? Man.

The Earth will continue to exist even if its inhabitants perish. It's a small world after all.
Next time, instead of saying, "For a greener Earth," let's say, "For our future."

Foundation Day / Intrams

Bwiset. Kapagod. Too cold and windy to even move.

The Instigation of a New Blog

whdsjuqyhw4 uy4ws tw4yhu u


That's what I thought of putting here as introductory sentence since I can't decide what to put in.

This is the third blog I have. Most of my blogs are in Friendster (www.friendster.com/edward13) and some are in Multiply (http://edwardadik.multiply.com/).

I locked both since most of those entries are very much an attack to some of the authorities of any organization (i'm not mentioning anything... XD).

Nevertheless, I decided to pull my sleeves and conjure this blog. All because of a simple Kalachuchi and a stressed, Valentine-Deprived Lady. XD

Now, what should I write here? Well, after reading the Kalachuchi's latest blog entry, it made me smile the greatest - the first for February 13.

My life has been so complicated that I could not even handle everything at the same time without losing anything or anyone. Depression is eating me up and I'm gaining weight. My diet has been altered for I've become a gourmand thanks to this great depression of mine. By the way, I just took home a box of Fit & Right. Hopefully, 3 RDA of L-Carnitine will restore my body back to its former not-so-glorious glory. XD

Today is Valentine's Day. Yet after recollecting on the things I've been thinking about for the past 2 weeks, I'm beginning to feel lethargic once more... Death isn't the answer; I know. But hey, it's an option - a childish one though. And there's a 95% chance of me not going to the other side, if you know what I mean. ^_^

Like what I always tell my classmates:

"Kung sawa ka na sa iyong buhay, bakit di mo subukan ang kabilang buhay?"

Well, I won't go there unless walang DotA dun. Nyahahaha...
