006. Student Assistant
I'm currently a Student Assistant in the best department in UP Manila, Department of Social Science. (Hahahaaa! :D) Its not that hard naman though ang haba ng working hours. This is for summer lang naman, hopefully. I have to answer the telephone every now and then (which is so fun!), to distribute/release class cards to those who are so masipag to get them, to deliver outgoing files to their right places, to inform professors of something or sometimes everything, to supervise/manage the reservation of DSS' equipments and of course, to do anything that they want me to do. I applied for the student assistanship because I will be in school rin naman for most of the summer dahil FBC na ako. :D
007. FBC
Yeapp. I'm a Freshman Block Coordinator na. I'll be handling the BioChemistry block (WTF!) and i'll also help them adjust to college life (Awww). I will also help them finish their Physical and Dental Examination and their Enrolment. In short, I'll be with them most of their freshman days. Hahahaha! :D What a punishment for them! Hahaha. XD
008. CS
I'm so happy that I finally achieved something after my elementary days. Hahaa. This is a surprise for me because I got 4.0 in my Math 11. Luckily, I've passed the removal exams. At parang hindi pa ako masaya, ginawa pa akong CS. To all those na non-UP students, CS stands for College Scholar which is the same as the Dean's Lister in other Universities. :D Am i over-celebrating?
009. The Effing 'Fourth Way'
Eff. Talagang walang kinabukasan ang Pilipinas sa set of legislators natin ngayon sa House of Representatives. WTF! House Resolution 737 and 1109 are craps. I understand a handful of things naman. Hahaaa. Changing the economic provision to benefit the foreigners is not a good idea, its like selling the Philippines to other countries. Soon it will be Philippines run by the Japanese or the Americans. (The Republic of the Philippines by the Government of Japan/America) Hahaaa. XD As if hindi pa bad idea ang pag-change sa economic provision, gumawa pa kayo ng FOUTH WAY. Eff! Bicameral ang Congress natin. Elementary pa lang, alam na yan.
010. DLSU College of Law
Let's see after five years. :D Maganda naman ang roster of faculty.

Heavenly Animals: The Truth Behind Animal Extinction
FILM SUMMARY
Room 201, the waiting room or the purgatory for animals, has been the place of conversation for a group of endangered animals awaiting the judgment of Big Boss if they will be accepted to ascend in heaven. The group of animals is composed of two tamaraws, one pawikan, one tarsier, one eagle and a lynx. Acting as a secretary in the waiting room was a mermaid. The animals talked about how they had been killed in the past. And supposedly, their experiences will be taken as the experiences of the whole species as the cause of their extinction. The tamaraws had been killed and hunted for eventual exploitation in the laboratory. The pawikan was a victim of water pollution. The tarsier was also hunted for experimental purposes. The eagle was a victim of hunters and was killed by a gunshot. The lynx, very different from the group because of its country of origin, has also been killed in the laboratory after being de-skinned.
The film also includes presentation of gathered facts regarding the different endangered animal species, interviews from student leaders about their opinion on how to protect these endangered animal species and a concluding presentation regarding what can a student do to advocate the protection of animal species.
FACTS
TAMARAW (Bubalus Mindorensis)
Tamaraw is the only native bovid to the Philippines, and is the country’s native land largest animal. The tamaraw is an endemic land mammal found only on the island of Mindoro. Its current population is estimated around 30 to 200 living individuals.
Why is it endangered?

The president of Switzerland stepped to a podium in Bern last May and read a statement confirming rumors that had swirled through the capital for months. The government, he acknowledged, had indeed destroyed a huge trove of computer files and other material documenting the business dealings of a family of Swiss engineers suspected of helping smuggle nuclear technology to Libya and Iran.
