Plains...Stripes...Prints: Another Baptism of Fire

Posted in first, unc Posted by Naga City Deck on Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 3:08 AM

At around 9 am today, I was in front of the high school graduating students of UNC. Guess what, I was invited to give a talk about Job Market for the Career Orientation of the Senior High School Students. Because I’m handling the Placement Service of the Guidance Center, the topic was close enough to what I have learned in the placemen world. It’s my baptism, meaning? First time to do a talk to a huge crowd as a speaker. *whew*

During the first few minutes I was having my stage jitters. But after constantly reminding myself to feel relax, I was able to go through my presentation well. What do you expect, high school students are high school. UNC high school is different from where I took my secondary education. Apart from the comparison, I did my best in order to get the attention of the students. I didn’t use too much words on my presentation, I just flashed some statistics and the rest was allotted to my talking. I’m thankful that the graduating students were still attentive kahit papano. Hehe I used video clips instead of words to have a different twist on presenting as a speaker. I hope I was alble to process my whole talk.. did I or did I not? Hehe

It was my first time again.. how may “first time” will I be crossing.. so far I had already a lot of placement and career development activities conducted during my first year of stay in UNC from Feb. 1, 2008 up to this day March 12, 2009. I can feel that I started my month right and full of blessings.

Hmm btw, I haven’t blog yet about my Baguio Trip where I celebrated my advanced birthday celebration and homecoming at the same time... hahanapan ko nlng ng time hehe

Till then!

PSP Prologue

I’m plain.. i’m stripes. and i’m printed

im plain with clear outlook to who i am. im not much of a talker because i am much of a listener, i like to scribble anything that comes out of my mind. sometimes i say it, sometimes i don’t, because there are things that should be left unsaid for others to realize that the absence of word will be enough for an asnwer. no matter how complex life is, i’d still like to live life plain and simple, because too much pre-occupation on the complex can make a person dull and stupid.

i live in stripes..vertical or horizontal.. there are a lot of ways to survive this life called reality. we may have the same coping mechanisms, but we differ on how we feel and react towards all those stressors in life. i live by my words by hit or miss, i stand for what i say.. sometimes life can be misleading because of mouths around us that can make or break us. be affected with what others say or be the effect of what you say to others. it’s a matter of how you strip in the stripes that crosses over your pathway.

i need some prints in my consciousness. i need your reactions to teach me how to live life well and to use my words in the utmost good way. we all need someone beyond ourselves who can pop our heads out to be awakened by reality. we all leave prints in the heart of all those we meet, as you leave prints in my heart, i’ll try to leave something in your heart as well. don’t forget that prints can be also be scars, so let us stay away from that.

Anything visible is powerful, what is Plainly seen, Stripes that crosses over, and Prints that leave marks. But the unseen in a person is something that we should learn, explore and understand. PSP and the unknown is what is within ME that makes me human enough to co-exist with you.

I am the me who can’t be you, but I can share my life with you.
