My friend from DLSU called me up yday to encourage me to enrol in their PhD Development Policy program. Di n mn ko inclined moadtos Manila oi. Kani pud kalaki sa CHED nga delayed ang allowance, di jud pwede nga moeskwela kas layo. Salamat n lng sa effort kapatid. All the best always! Nov 2017 Di na ta ko modayon eskwela sa Silliman U this sem under CHED scholarship. Gikasab-an kos among dean oi mao pag Monday Nov 20 niadto kos Dgte aron paenrol. Heheh, martial law. I just need a little push mn pud. Jiau Doki!

3rd Dream

LEEC featured in my dream again for the 3rd time. It was in school man, morag lecture ang setup and he said something daw. Baw oi, gimata2 naman cguro ko ni Kuya Lels ani. Heheh. Jiau always Doki! Nagpabungot diay sya in the SONA episode and in the episode with Jayeel sa Rappler. Char nija, wa cjay angay. Hahah.

HB Episode

I slid into unhealthy habits after I decided to drop out of my classes at SU this semester. Nagcge n lng ko kaon chao fan sa Chowking then diha pud ko napalit nga Oreo cookies 1 box with 9 packs. It happened that on Thu 20 July sa gabii, I stayed late sa school to work on my TCW workbook skeleton. I basically stayed in the faculty room the whole afternoon. Then nagtaxi mi Mam Pat to Parkmall. Upon reaching home, nanglaba ko gamay before sleeping. Oatmeal to ako gikaon ug Oreo 1 pack. Pagka Friday morning I had oatmeal ra pud and Oreo. When I arrived in school I had rice and chicken around 9am before going to my classes. Role play man to silas Entrep skills. Pagka 11am wala ko nikaon kay bag-o pa lagi nikaon pag 9am. Laina btaw sa ako paminaw, morag naay nikaging gikan sa ilawom. Then Monday July 24 I was feeling heavy already after watching the role plays of STEM 12D. Nagpahilot ko ni Mam Salome then I signed up for yoga class. I went to the 7pm session. Mga 9 pm na mi nahuman. Next day I wasn't feeling well jud. I went for checkup sa Hi-Precision Tabok. Wednesday I tried going to school but mora japon ko malipong especially when I look up to the black/whiteboard. I went to the doctor in UCMed. Thursday July 27 was spent sa balay lang gihapon. Friday I went to school and to the CHED assembly at Dohera Hotel. Wala ko nagklase whole week jud kay nahighblood mn ko. Jia you Doki, ayaw jud pabaya sa imo kaugalingon. It's going to be alright.

Geneve

EMR is in Europe man as of the moment. Nagpost sya on FB ug pic nila ni LOM ug Migs. O well, enjoy lng mo. I have not made it to Geneva actually. Si Any among classmate I think had been there. Pamilya mn sa tag-iya sa Victorinox iya friend sa Indonesia mao gitour sya didto. Jia you Doki, okay lng yan. You have won ur own battles too. Be proud of them. Happy weekend! ;)

Extended Leave without Pay

Yday Boyett told me that he was granted an extended leave without pay from USC till May 2018 daw phon. Well, good for him. I never thought of that option. Back in 2008, I just wanted to leave USC ra man jud. Whatever it took. I was told that if I didn't ask to extend it by March 31, 2008, considered resigned na daw ko. So I did leave it all. Thankfully, and by God's grace alone, I was able to find another university post here in CDU. Mag 7yrs na ko diri ig November pohon. Jia you Doki. There's a right time for everything under the sun. Ayaw lng jud bitaw Niya. Amen.

CDU New Admin

We are going to have a new President here in CDU coz our founding president, si Dr PVL or Doc Larra as we call him passed away last Thursday, June 29 at 3:05p.m. He was only 77 yrs old. Lung cancer daw iya kamatyan. So far people are saying that si Doc Phillip daw, iyang 2nd son ang mopuli as president sa school. But sa CDU Group of Companies, si Doc Yong ang modala. We pray for the best. Long live CDU! ;)

2nd Dream

That was the 2nd time that Sir Leloy featured in my dream last night. Moarag naa daw sya'y gisulti about something. Kalimot na ko unsa to. Heheh. In the meantime, I had a dream that my friend si Mam Charlotte wala daw kaginhawa kay nagwater sports activity. I dunno unsa to specifically. Morag whitewater rafting. Simbako lng tawn pud. Kadto ka Sir Leloy was primarily due to Gretchen jud posting yday about how gwapo he is sa iyang Rappler 'Basagan ng Trip' 2nd episode. Told her wala koy time motan-aw ana ug hinay pa jud ako internet. Heheh. All the best to us always!

Silliman University, Dumaguete City

I went to Dumaguete on Thursday night, June 23, 2017. I took the boat from George & Peter Lines. We left Cebu at 10pm. We arrived in Dumaguete around 430 am the next day. From Dumaguete moadto pas Dapitan ang barko. After having breakfast, I went to Silliman University (SU) na to enrol in their PhD Social Sciences program. I had to go to the University Graduate Programs (UGP) Office first. Late na mn ko nienrol bale kay klase na mn sila pag June 17. After paying the downpayment, I proceeded to the issuance of ID. After getting my ID, I walked around the campus. I went to the Main Library. One whole building pud ilang library. In some ways it reminded me of NUS. Smaller campus lng jud ang SU and flat. Casual kaju pud didto; people come to the campus wearing whatever they want to wear. I had my first classes on Saturday, June 24, 2017. First class was 10am to 1pm under Dr. Cubelo. But actually before 12nn, nidismiss nas Dr Cubelo kay mouli pa daw xas Bohol. Heheh. I have a lot of classmates also from Bohol. Barkada nako si Mam Alma Vilma Sumampong Pailmao from BISU Bilar. Our farthest classmate is from Samar pa tawn. Si Cañal. Friday pa kuno cja mogikan didto. Catbalogan mn cguro to o Catarman ba. Second class was Dr Rivera at 1-230pm then Dr Apla-on at 4-6pm. After class I went to Robinson's Dumaguete to meet with Mam Charlotte. She treated me and my classmate to dinner at Sans Rival Resto. Lami ra pud ilang pasta puttanesca ug cinnamon roll. Research-based jud ang SU. Every subject naa jud paper requirement. Naaprub kos CHED. But sa 2nd sem na nako itake up ang scholarship kay dugay man gud ila decision. Nagteach mn ko full time pag 1st sem. Half sa college and half sa senior high. Gitabangan n lng pud naho si Ria Alcantara ang coordinator kay ingnan mn ko niya 'ayaw ko hatagi'g problema' when I told her I was thinking of giving up my SHS Entrep load to study at SU. I could've talked to Atty if I really wanted to.. Jia you to us all!

SHS

I am teaching Entrepreneurship at senior high school this semester. 3 sections. Half-half ako teaching load. Lingaw ra mn diay pud ang SHS. I am able to use what I learned in Education classes. Jia you Doki! ;)

National Scientist

National scientist ang oplok for this year. Morag P150,000 ba to ang iya cash gift. Daghan na na cja'g kwarta oi kay nagtudlo pa gud cjas MSU-IIT last June to July. Diha pa cjay Erasmus teaching grant sa Romania before that. Di na cguro naho cja mareach. Pls show me your direction always Lord. Amen.

To Reach You

To reach you I fly across the sky Without you... We were meant to be together ... I like this song by Regine Velasquez-Alcasid.

In A Rush

Madam Shirley frankly told me today that nagmamadali kuno ko mag-asawa. Tungod mn gud sa akong edad. But then, if walay effort ang guy, I might end up regretting my decision. Unsa gani to ang saying, "Marry in haste, repent in leisure". Of course I don't want that to happen to me. So slow down lang jud Doki and keep praying. Ask God for directions always. Cge, jia you.

CHED Funding a Go

Today, July 5, 2017 I received a forwarded email from CHED RO7. Our CAS secretary, si Ms Berns forwarded it to me. It was an announcement for Scholars' Assembly daw on Friday July 28, 2017 phon. This is an assembly to award the scholarship of the scholars and to tell the SHEIs and the DHEIs of their responsibilities. Since nakadawat mn kos email so it means approved na jud ako application? Wowowo, thanks a lot Lord kung maohon. All praise and honour be to You Lord! Gretchen said dugay ra daw to nga list. La mn koy tan-aw2 lagis CHED website so la ko kahibaw. I had emailed Ms Diane Claros of CHED RO7 sometime in early June. She said 1st batch pa daw to. When CHED said on the email that the next batch will come out around 2nd wk of July phon, I didn't bother her anymore. I enrolled na lang in Silliman last Friday June 23, 2017 kay mao mn lagi ilang advice. There really is a God. And it's a God who is ever-loving, ever-compassionate, ever-forgiving. Thank you jud Lord. What a very nice gift indeed. Jia you Doki!
