Project 365: A Year in A Life

Rent on Carlos Romulo Auditorium this February

525, 600 minutes,

525, 000 moments so dear.

525, 600 minutes, how do you measure - measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In number- how do you measure a year in the life?

-Seasons of Love, from Rent

I have a serious Rent hangover since the day I've seen it. I love the song Seasons of Love because of its lyrics. It's dramatic but at the same time rejoicing. Right? I'm mentioning the song because of Project 365. Yes, I'm on Project 365. I've figured that this is a good way to measure a year in the life. Corny? I actually got the idea from Bryan ( Kuya Bryan, LOL ). But I know that Project 365 was not his idea, i think the project has been going around for already six or seven years.

Project 365, FTW!

It actually made me excited because I will be doing a dare-yourself-for-the-whole-year thing. It is a test of commitment and constancy. Sort of. I initially thought that it will be about taking pictures of yourself everyday for a year. But it was kinda off because, i think, no one is that interested and that weird to actually like to see your face for everyday for a year. Right? So instead of that, I will be taking one picture a day of things (can be people) that made my day interesting or memorable for a year. Sounds cool, right? I will post it here in my blog ( weekly or daily or randomly) and will try to put some meaningful captions to make it more interesting.

A Year of Pictures

This will be fun. I'd love to see the pictures after a year. It's like an album of what happened the whole year. It's a scrapbook. A journal. A diary. I hope it will really be able to measure my year. I'd love to see how my look changes and how things/people around me changes too. Cool, right?

I will be providing links of some of the helpful tips I've found on the internet on how to this project. Here they are:

> Tips for Shooting One Photo a Day for 365 Days

> Project 365: Take a photo a day for a year

> Project 365

> Project 365 Ideas

I'm not a photographer or anything that has something to do with pictures. I don't have an awesome slash expensive digital camera. I just want to try this because I want to see how things change. I really think that this will be fun.I now have four pictures in my camera. I will post it soon. You can try it too next year! 2010 is the year of my P-365!

Anyone interested in watching an on-stage Filipino rendition of Rent this February? Please? Please?

Manila Science

manila science high school logo

Manila Science High School celebrated its founding anniversary yesterday. With its theme "MaSci at 46: Stakeholder's Empowerment: Strengthening Linkages," the organizers (parent-teachers association, faculty and students) made the foundation day fun through its food stalls, booths (as usual), field demonstrations and year level contests. I was with some fellow alumni. We enjoyed scrutinizing the newcomers in MaSci, the first year students. We also enjoyed the booths particularly the jail booth. I also ended up paying the students managing the handcuffs booth to make our friends victims. We're also trying to convince the jail guards to let the prisoners go. Kawawa naman kasi e, most of the prisoners wala ng pera. I helped my brother escaped! Most of the time, we're unsuccessful dahil the first year students are hesitant rin. First year students are so obedient that I want to make them discipline guards in North Korea! Sobra.

A little bit of MaSci history. Manila Science High School was established through Republic Act 1606 issued by President Ramon Magsaysay who felt the need of a pilot science high school who will cater to the development of the fundamental and applied sciences and through Manila Mayor Antonio Villegas Municipal Resolution 426. It was patterned after Bronx High School of Science in New York, the special science curriculum is designed to meet the needs of scholars gifted in science and mathematics. Until now, Manila Science High School remains as one of the country's top science high school. For more information, visit www.manilascience.edu.ph.

I miss high school student life.

Missing Friends

I was with Lanie the whole time. I just realized that I only have few real friends from high school. But these real friends are really real. (Whaaaat?) Lanie's currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in the University of the City of Manila or PLM. I enjoyed the conversation that we had. I even shared to her my recent experience of being an activist. Ang dami naming napag-kuwentuhan. Galing! All branches of life! Kudos to your mom! She really is the heartless girl of Kanye West. I was also with Justine Joy who is currently taking up BS Accountancy in the same school. Good luck!

I miss my friends.

Major No-No!

I'm quite sad. I think I will not be able to take up Law immediately after college. I'm not sure if I will be able to support myself financially. Woo! Talk about skyrocketing fees! I'm also losing my interest in studying laws. I'm more into political science now. Oh, God!

I miss myself.

I will be writing a semester-ender tomorrow. Wait. I'm hearing rumors about a particular cheating case in the University, major cheating daw. Let's not compromise the principles and the reputation of our beloved university.
