PPUR: A Wonder of Nature

Last night, 11.11.11, at 11:11 PM, the voting for the New 7 Wonders ended. I can say that I VOTED not just because I'm from Puerto but  because I think and I know it deserves to be crowned as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

They began counting a year's worth of votes and at about 12:00 midnight Philippine time, the top 14 finalists were announced.

Top 14 finalists

I am happy to say that the Underground River is one of the top 14 finalists. At about 3:00 AM, they finally released the provisional results of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

Provisional New 7 Wonders of Nature

Now, filled with utter joy, I can tell you that the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is truly a wonder of nature mostly because it is part of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Even though there is still a chance that by the end of this year, the results might change, I am still confident that PPUR will still be part of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

The Underground River is indeed a beautiful place. Carved out by Mother Nature herself, this UNESCO World Heritage site still stands and is still in wonderful shape. With all it can offer and all the glory it can bring, what more can we, Palaweños, ask for? Now that it will surely attract a lot more tourists these coming years, I only hope that we can maintain its natural environment and not destroy it.

I can say that I'm a proud Palaweño and a proud Filipino.

Who Are You?

I only have one question for today and its "Who the hell is KIMPOY FELICIANO?!?!?!?" I mean, who is this guy???? Everybody knows him, everybody talks about him at some point, and he thinks he's superman. No offense dude, I mean you no harm. :) He even has livestream. I tried watching it and in fact, the tab is still open that is why i hear "Torete" in the background. What is the point of this livestream anyways?!?!?! Oh, and a lot of people keep tweeting "I love you kimpoy!!". Just so you know, I'm not angry with him. What I really want to know is 'kung bakit siya pinagkakaguluhan'. Even Vince is tweeting about him. Haha. Oh well.

Livestream (Look at the tweets)

At least I discovered #DoTheButterfly. :) Trending now in Twitter Philippines.

I Detest Sembreak

Since last, last Friday, October 28, I've been in a nothing to do spree. This is because of the semestral break. The entire time, I did nothing and I even thought, for a few days, that I was wasting my time. Now, as it turns out, I realize I did waste my time. Just this hour, I remembered that I still had tons of stuff to do. Was I in a trance the entire break?!?!?! What's worse is that they're all writing assignments. I forgot that I still have to do my reaction for my Project in AP for 3 damn news. Also, I have to write a blasted reaction about Skyxplore which is supposed to have a minimum of 500 words! There's also something I have to do in my Filipino subject. Oh and don't tell anybody but I haven't done any of the articles assigned to me. Busted. And so, I have to finish all of these by tonight. I am going to experience shit tonight. This is what I call Cramming Overload. And to think I still have time to write about it in a blog. Stupid me. Oh well. I really have to get going. So help me God.


P.S. I detest sembreak because I forget my responsibilities not that it's actually the sembreak's fault.

I miss blogging

It's been months since I last posted a blog. Oh blog, you seem like a thing of the past. No worries though, I'm going to go blogging again. Since my last blog, a lot has happened in my life and sadly, I was not able to post them. So, my next posts will be about things that happened weeks ago so I probably won't be able to talk about them with the same zeal I would have had if I posted them when they actually happened. It's a good thing I took pictures. Atleast I'll be able to remember those events. I will find time to blog. That's a promise. :)




I bid you Adieu.

New Room. New Section. New Adviser. New Policy. Same Awesome Classmates.

June 6th was the first day of class. Senior year at last which means 1 more year until graduation. Holy crap. I just realized I'm going to be in college next year. Wow. If ever I pass UP, I'm going to be living independently. Goodbye good life...... :) Anyways, I'm a senior now so it's another year in high school. What's new? I have a new room which was, until recently, IV Sapphire. It's situated at the left when you're walking from the guardhouse. It's the first room there. When you're walking from the other side or from the PAC, it's situated at the right and it's the last room there. You'll definitely notice it because it has   windows on 3 sides of the walls. You can visit if you like. You'll surely be welcome there. :) Although I doubt that the guard will let you through the gate. Oh well. :) I also have a new section which is IV KAPATIRAN! They changed the section names so that students will learn to apply the meaning of each of their sections to themselves. Mine means brotherhood.

Go KAPATIRAN!


About the New Adviser. I have a new adviser named Sir Phabe Tabucalde. Many fear him because he's very frank about things and he never tolerates anyone's foolishness. Although, once you get to know him, he isn't half-bad. He's actually funny and I actually understand Physics when he teaches it.

Sir Phabe

About the New Policy. The New Policy is to have an ID at all times. Well, it's not actually new but it was just implemented this year for reasons I don't know of. I have an ID but it the guard didn't check  it last year. This year, they're a little more strict. You'd think that with all these changes my classmates would also change too. Well, you're very wrong about that. The Science Class Pioneers and I have been together for 3 years going on 4. We never tire of each other and we always hang out. Even though there are petty fights within the section sometimes, we still make it a goal so that everyone is in good terms with each other. I think when we graduate, we'll be the most emotional because we would all never forget those years that we stuck together.


If you ask me if I'm bored with all of them, I'm not. I'm lucky because I'm with my same awesome classmates.
