Jose Rizal is a figure that can’t be left unspoken about when talking about the Philippines. This man of small stature but not of small ideas, has left such an impact in the country that entire provinces are named after him. Though his claim on the title of national hero is debatable his written works are some of the most important pieces of filipino literature.
As students of the Ateneo De Manila University, the same educational institution that Rizal attended, as Philippine Youth and History 165: Jose Rizal and the emergence of the Philippine Nation, we have created blogs that would show what Rizal would have said if he had a blog. Here’s a list of links to some the blogs we’ve created.

Semestral break is finally over and tomorrow at 8:30am I’ll start my first class of the second semester. I’m somewhat excited cause I really didn’t do anything big during the sem break besides go to fontana with ACTM and the last couple of days with my usual friends. I’m hoping this sem would be a lot less stressful since I don’t have accounting anymore but I do have a lot more units. It’s a shame that I couldn’t find a good PE to take not because I didn’t have slots (I was in the first batch to enlist) but because I’ve taken up all the PE classes that I want and after taking up Ballroom (Latin Dancesport) last sem, everything fails in comparison.
I don’t really know if this dancing thing is just a temporary high but I really miss dancing on the hardwood and using those 2.5 inch heeled shoes.
My friends and I went to an Anime convention yesterday afternoon. It was my first time to go to one of those since I usually think I’m above the geekness of it all but turns out im not hahahahaha. They had really great deals on Jpop/Jrock CDs, 1 CD for 50 php! Thats 1 CD for 1.04 USD! Oh just to say these are not pirated these are original Ongaku CDs! I was able to get an original Can You Keep a Secret single by Utada Hikaru for just 50 bucks! I would have gotten Sakura Drops and COLORS as well but some campers got to them first.
I found some of the cosplayers weird though… seriously if you don’t have it don’t flaunt it hahahahah (or if you have too much of it don’t show it hahaha). Some we’re really good like the Hatsumomo cosplay who could really do the fan tricks. I only stayed till around 5:30 cause my parents have been really strict on me getting home at night recently mostly because my nephew has a fever.
