I’ve mentioned previously that I got my wallet stolen on the bus. Well, along with my hard-earned cash, my UMID and ATM cards disappeared just like that as well. So for the sake of closure, I’m going to chronicle my journey to having these replaced. Hopefully it’ll be of help to someone since crime isn’t gonna disappear any time soon.

#BoysWhoATBP is just a dump for those random activities that don’t deserve their own category yet. Maybe I’m just trying something new.
Isip: A Quick Call to Action
I’m sure everyone has heard of the adage, “Knowledge is power.”
But I have found this adage a bit incomplete. You might know everything there is about a certain topic, but if you don’t do anything with it, it might as well be as if you know nothing.
Isip: Pack light!
I remember climbing Mt. Pulag, feeling over-encumbered by the weight of my pack as I ascended the steep trail. And I thought to myself, Do I really need to carry all these things?
Isip: The Things Worth Living For
[Disclaimer: Sorry in advance for my unorganized thoughts. I’ll do my best to format them in the most cohesive way, but please try to keep up as they can be all over the place.]
Imagine being asked the question, “What are you willing to die for?”
Isip: Borrowed Tools
This was a brief (hehe) brain fart (hehe) that I had while in the backseat of our car as my family went out for dinner. I was pondering on the mysteries of life and what motivates us to do the things we do, when this came to mind. It’s a thought that roots from my Christian upbringing and links to my fitness endeavors.
Isip: Turning memories into words
If it’s not that obvious yet, I am a sucker for documenting things. From itineraries to lists, to everyday happenings, I love collecting memories and placing them somewhere I can revisit them.
This is probably why I have a notable collection of notebooks. Waaaay more notebooks than I can use on a regular basis.
Isip: A letter to the past
I have always tried to live my life with no regrets; and up to this point, I’ve never had regrets that keep me up all night or haunt me in my nightmares and daydreams. However, there are some things that I would have done differently, given the chance. Nothing completely life-changing, but maybe just enough to set me on the right path earlier. So here goes a letter to Past-Me, after all Present-Me has experienced until today.
Isip: Open letter to those who took the ACET
Naalala ko na naman nung akala ko hindi ako pumasa ng ACET dahil hindi ko mahanap pangalan ko online. Hindi ko rin naman madouble-check sa Blue Eagle Gym kasi nasa Visayas pa ako nun. Di ko matanggap yun kasi alam kong matalino ako.
Turns out mali lang spelling ng pangalan ko sa database. I felt so vindicated when I got the acceptance letter. Matalino nga ako. That, or meron akong inagawan na slot na si JAIRUS RAFAEL yung pangalan.
Pero feeling ko matalino lang talaga ako. Hehe.
To those who passed ACET, congrats! Don’t let it get to your head. You’ve got your work cut out for you. Staying in Ateneo is a greater feat than getting in. You just got accepted to a place where your potentials will be pushed to actuality. Don’t waste the opportunity.
To those who didn’t pass, don’t be discouraged. Either God has a different plan for you, or kulang ka lang sa pag-aaral. Charot. It doesn’t make you less of a person. The most legendary of Ateneans have failed at more than one point in their lives. The trick is to keep getting back up. Push niyo yan.
Miss ko na mag-aral. Well, the extra-curricular activities mostly.
