SEPTEMBER 15, FRIDAY
11AM sa AS LOBBY tayo magkita kita!
Ayoko na.
Sabi ng marami. At iba-iba ang
dahilan.
Hirap na hirap ka na ba sa kakaisip
ng konspeto para sa plate mo? Ako rin eh. Mahirap mag-isip lalo na’t
ipinanganak tayo sa panahon kung saan lahat na yata ng ideya, naisip na ng
ibang tao. Sabi nga ng isang prof ko, wala ng orig na ideya ngayon, nagkakatalo
na lang sa interpretasyon. Hindi naman bawal ang manghiram eh, haluan mo lang
ng tatak mo, para maging sayo. Naks, parang expert lang. Pero diba, totoo
naman? Hindi rin nakakamatay kung liliko ka minsan sa library, kasi marami kang
makikita, mababasa at magbibigay inspirasyon.
Hirap na hirap ka na ba kasi ang
hirap timplahin ng prof mo? Hay, marami tayo! Hindi naman kasi mga robot ang
mga prof natin. Tao sila, at artist sila – may mga mood swings, may
sari-sariling taste, may sari-sariling lengwahe. Ang trick nalang yata diyan ay
magpapasok ka, kilalanin mo ang prof mo. Hindi ko sinabing ikompromiso mo ang
istilo mo sa panlasa ng prof, alamin mo lang kung ano yung benta sa kanya,
tapos, kumbinsihin mo siyang maganda yung ideya mo.
Ah, hindi ka nahihirapan. Walang
challenge? Hay nako. Noong freshie ako, takang-taka ako noon kung bakit natapos
ang isang sem na puro 6B at sketching sketching lang kami. Tanong ako ng tanong
kung bakit paulit-ulit hanggang minsan, nagpinta ako ulet.
Aba, pagsketch ko, napasabi nalang ako sa
sarili, “Naks. Parang gumaling yata ako.” Pero totoo, mas senstibo na ako
ngayon sa detalye, mas pino ang mga hagod ng lapis o ng brush, o maski ng
mouse. Minsan kasi, magtiwala naman tayo sa mga prof natin.
Pero hindi lahat ng bagay sa school
lang natutunan. Wag kang makuntento sa papetiks-petiks lang. Magbasa ka. Hindi
lang naman libro ang pwedeng basahin – andyan ang dyaryo (napapansin ko nga,
parang ang daming nagbabasa ng dyaryo sa library natin), mga magasin, mga
articles sa internet, mga blogs, mga brand label, mga vandalisms sa desk mo, at
marami pa – lahat ng ito, magbibigay inspirasyon sayo, magbibigay kaalaman
sayo.
Marami na akong alam. Marami ka
naring alam. Pero mas marami ang hindi pa natin alam, kaya huwag tayong umayaw.
O, ano na?

Come one, come all!
There’s a nice site which features a number of prominent FA peeps during the past decade such as Dino Ignacio, Romeo Lee, etc.
HOW WE CAN HELP: You can help by giving donations in kind such as
CLOTHES
CANNED GOODS
NOODLES
RICE
MEDICINE
and other relief items which can help sustain the evacuees during their stay at the evacuation centers.
CFA SC will be placing a BOX @ FA wherein you can place your donations/contributions until September 13 (Wednesday). It will be then centralized at the USC Office on September 14, 2006 (Thursday). Volunteers from partner organizations involved in the Mt. Mayon Relief Drive will collect the donations on September 15, 2006 (Friday) for delivery to the affected areas.
A small gesture of kindness and generosity on your part can mean a great deal to the victims of this impending natural calamity. Rest assured that any contribution you will give shall be safely transported and delivered to the intended beneficiaries.
As reported in the media, the Mayon Volcano has shown signs of restiveness since the third week of February 2006. As of August 22, 2006, six (6) minor explosions have been generated by the volcano. A total of 24 volcanic earthquakes and 431 tremor episodes have also been recorded.
ALERT LEVEL 4 is currently in effect, which means that hazardous explosive eruptions are still possible. The 8-kilometer radius Extended Danger Zone (EDZ) in the southeast sector should continue to be off- limits. Residents of areas just outside and adjacent to the EDZ are advised to be on alert regarding their status for possible evacuation in case volcanic activities escalate.
Evacuation Status: The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has recommended voluntary evacuation for residents of barangays located in the southeastern quadrant of the volcano since said areas have been identified as most susceptible to lava flow, rock fall and pyroclastic flow.
To date, there are evacuees from 32 barangays including Sto.Domingo, Daraga, Camalig, Malilipot, and Guinobatan; and the cities of Legazpi, Ligao and Tabaco. The number of evacuees staying inside the 29 evacuation centers has reached 9,245 families or 43,430 persons while those staying outside evacuation centers in Barangays Mabinit, Bonga, Natanag and Buyuan, Legaspi City have reached a total of 127 families or 561 persons.
