Go go go Pinoys, mabuhay kayo!

KAMALA HARRIS

She has secured enough votes daw in order to secure the nomination of the Democratic Party. So sija jud lagi ang standard bearer sa mga Democrats for this year. She is yet to announce a vice president. Ang latest isyu ni Donald Trump niya ron is that she always claimed to be Indian kuno lagi. Suddenly a few years ago, she became black lagi kuno. So unsa man jud diay lagi kuno iyang identity? Pero the claims of the Republicans are valid baya. They do have an unprecented problem with the illegal migrants at the southern border and San Francisco tinuod has become a city of the homeless. Coz she defunded the police lagi kuno. So may the best candidate win n lng jud pohon. Go go go.

UGAT 2024

Today I submitted an abstract for the above conference in CLSU on 27 to 29 November pohon. Uy nidungan sa Dialogo sa UP Asian Center. Asa kaha ang madawat sa duha?

The past few days tuo jud mi ug wa sijay load lagi kay wa man sija naapil atong picture nila Mam Jhe with the SocSci faculty lagi for the incoming school year. Ngapply n lng gud sija ug laing school. Morag naa diay kuno sijay load oi. Hay salamat po Lord. Luoy pud sija kaju kung nagbirthday sija lagi nga way trabaho. Anyway, tua silay Bai Hotel ron sa ijang Ali. I pray for the best always. Nk order lagi ko Lord online ug Longchamp bag set P1,099 COD ug set of panties P499. Hinay2 n lng ko ug shopping kay lisud kung mahutdan ta ug kwarta simbako. Jia you Doki, go go go!

SIR GORBY

This morning he talked to me here at the pantry of our college faculty room. He aired his sentiments about the Orientation we had yesterday. He felt bad coz wala man siya maintroduce sa body. But most importantly, he said disorganized lagi daw ang among assembly yesterday. I shared to him n lng pud my experience with CDU before with our ever indefatigable Dean, Atty. Roel S. Hortelano. Dugay gud pud to sija nga dean namo lagi. From when I started in November 2010 to May 2020. I do miss him sometimes. I hope he's doing well. Btw Sir Gorby said papunta n kuno sa Directorship si Sir Ryan Dayao kay siya n man lagi ang Graduate School coordinator which is a different unit sa university. He is the head of the Research Management Office too. So all graduate programs will be under him. Sige po, it inspired me to look for a new PhD program. Say sig huwat anang wala lagi di b? Go go go Doki!

ETA BUDOL

Uy, I rechecked and I think nabudol n pud ko with my eTA for Canada. 7 Canadian dollars ra man lagi ang ingon sa CIC Canada website. But I paid for 99 USD from that site. Omg, unsa diay to oi? But the good thing is, valid for 5 years man pud to lagi. And it is tied to my passport so if my passport expires, I have to get a new one daw. Cge po. Talked to Helen this morning. She suggested MNL-JFK-YYZ-MNL daw ahong ibook. Coz I only have an eTA man lagi for Canada. But then when I checked, mas mahal xempre by 400 USD ang air ticket to Toronto and I think pwede ra japon lagi ang eTA by land so magbus n lng jud ko lagi if maoy mas barato. Good day!
