ME
Hi! My name is Klein. I am 18 years old. A third year BA Public Administration student at the University of the Philippines Diliman.
I love watching movies - Hollywood and even Korean.
I love basketball as a sport but I don't play, i just watch and cheer.
I enjoy watching shows like F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Will and Grace, Stacked, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and reality shows like Amazing Race and Survivor.
Chocolates are my favorite comfort food - they make me happy whenever I'm lonely.

exam stories
I wasn’t able to write about the events of Wednesday for some reason. But anyway here’s how my day went…
Did I ever mention that I love my Accounting 1 class? Hmm…I’m not sure but if I ever did, I take it back. I HATE ACCOUNTING! Not that it matters now since the exam and the entire semester is over. But still I want to express my rage about accounting in this blog. I don’t really hate it that much pero … basta! I don’t like it anymore!
Before the exam, I was confident that I could get high marks kasi not only did I study, I also feel that I understood all of the concepts. Here’s the thing: I assumed wrong (kaya from now on, I will never assume). Our Professor announced before the exam started that it would be a group exam. Well, assuming (again) that it would be much easier kasi group exam nga, I was so excited and happy. To my dismay (and my rage), it was the exact opposite! It was so difficult! I was partnered with Jackie and Ashley and we had a difficult time answering all the questions (the format of the exam was Da Vinci Code-like…we had to figure out some codes). I wanted to cry at the end of the exam. Sobrang galit na galit ako sa exam (at pati na rin kay Sir). Nakakainis! (By the way I was exempted from taking the finals pero still, I am disappointed kasi I could have done better kung madali yung exam…hmp!)
Wanting to forget about that energy-draining experience, by batchmates and I had lunch together. Me, Maan, Kamille, Jobelle, Ashley, Kriszia, Jackie, Shani, John, Kenneth and Miko ate at the Sefali (a.k.a Mountaineer) and we had a lot of fun (dapat marami pang kasama, pati si Fab ni Maan, pero may mga meeting pa daw sila kay next time na lang). Sobrang na-enjoy ko talaga yung lunch date na yun kasi I am with the best people you can ever meet in NCPAG (naks!), Wohoo! At least I forgot about the exam even just for an hour.
Moving on with todays events…
I had an exam in Socio (it was like my nth exam this week! and there are two more to come next week). Syempre I was anxious kasi wala talagang na-absorb yung utak ko sa pagbabasa ng notes and readings na isang kilometro ang haba at isang dangkal ang taas (I am exaggerating pero parang ganun naman talaga e). As in hindi talaga ako nakapag-aral ng mabuti kasi I was still doing my papers for English 10 (I can’t believe I am exerting too much effort e ni hindi ko naman gusto yung prof at feeling ko i deserve a higher mark!) and siguro I was still feeling the accounting-aftermath syndrome (ang aftermath ng pahirap na exam).
When Maan and I got there sa classroom, buti na lang Enrik was there to help us – parang computer, i-press lang ang play button at lalabas na ang facts na kailangan. Ang ganda nung ginawa namin kasi parang we discussed what we have reviewed and it felt good to know na kahit papano pala may na-retain sa utak kong mga facts (thanks Enrik!). Honestly, okay naman yung exam. It wasn’t as difficult as I had expected it to be (except for the last part where we have to analyze a certain topic using the two sociological perspectives). Marami-rami rin naman akong nasagutan (thank God!) and I think I did good. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed right now (miracles happen you know).
So there goes my exam stories.
Moral lessons:
1.) Don’t assume that an accounting exam would be easy (especially when it is a group exam).
2.) Basta sumasagot ka ng study questions sa Socio, marami kang masasagot sa exam.
And oh, before I forget, I just have to say this line from A lot like love:
“Just when I’m starting to like you, you’re moving away…”
wala lang, nagustuhan ko lang yung line.

"Real love is when you love someone without asking for anything in return. It's when even a passing smile can make your day, a small pat on the back can make you feel alive and the mere sound of his/her voice can move you to break out into a song inside.
Real love isn't fate nor is it written in the stars. You , yourself, have to make love happen. It's a choice; a commitment that you stand up for. And even if you're uncertain if he'she loves you back, you take the risk of facing whatever pain that would come your way simply because you believe he/she is worth everything and more."
