19 - GRAMCOM Mondays

By -
Wow, my GRAMCOM classes are surely the best! I mean, if I had to choose between three of my favorite classes for this term—Public Speaking 1, Public Speaking 2, GRAMCOM—it would (most obviously) be my GRAMCOM class.

Wait a second, what makes my GRAMCOM classes so great anyway? I mean, to you, it might seem like your ordinary "boring" English class, but for me, it is EVERYTHING. (Well, not literally everything, but it is like the "heart and soul" of this English term.) Think about it, without proper grammar, you would not be able to understand what I have written on this blog. Without proper grammar, this blog would look very unprofessional—meaning that, whatever is in here, will be discredited.

But the subject of English Grammar and Composition Development is not enough to make me say that the subject is the best. What really makes this subject great is my professor.


My professor in GRAMCOM is not a tough one, my professor is (like a) happy-go-lucky person. I like to think of my professor as this: an extremely talented chef who knows how to make even the most plain and boring dish into the "culinary thrill ride of your life." My professor turned this (seemingly boring) subject into the best, most fun, and most exciting subject of my life.

My professor changed me so much, it made me look forward to Mondays. Mondays—the most disgusting day of the week; the day everyone hates the most. My professor single-handedly made me want to wake up on a Monday morning, put on my best and freshly-pressed corporate attire, and head straight to Asia Pacific College with a warm and welcoming smile. That is how much my professor and my GRAMCOM class has changed me.

I wish my GRAMCOM classes will never end. Ah, I wish I would have a GRAMCOM 2 class next term (with the same professor, of course), but that is highly unlikely to happen. Oh well, I might as well enjoy my GRAMCOM classes until the end.

30 - The End

The video above is my "goodbye song" for this blog. As with all good things, I believe that the "life of this blog" has come to an end. The time has finally come for me to start packing my bags and start blogging elsewhere. To tell you all the truth, when I made this blog, it was originally titled "Just One Yesterday" (named after Fall Out Boy's song) as you can see from this earlier screenshot of my Blogger Dashboard. The reason behind the name was that I was having trouble adjusting to my new college life, and that I missed my high school days. Because, actually, the central topic of this blog was supposed to be how high school is better than college. That was the case at first; however, I soon realized that college is actually far better than high school. I spent a few days coming up with a new title for this blog, and since it was around July (my "improve everything" phase), I decided to name this blog "A Better To

7 - Repeating the Same Mistakes

By -
First of all, my first three weeks in college was  AWESOME ! They were great, they were filled with fun and exciting moments. Despite that, I noticed that I still have made some mistakes that I made in high school. Let me tell you a secret: When my first term was about to start, I went to my friend's house, Jose Capacia, to talk about the things I should and should not do in college. He was great for telling all those things and he really seemed like he already knew a lot about college. (We are both freshmen this year, but he will study in La Salle.) He also told me that I should not repeat the same mistakes I have made in high school—say, for example, not speaking up and not letting my voice be heard. I have a myriad of things I have done in high school that really killed the whole high school for me. I am not afraid to admit them and here they are: I was obsessed on trying to get a girlfriend, I focused on love more than my studies, I did not care for whatever happened

12 - Character

“Abilities can lead us to success, but character is what will keep us successful.” —My professor For those of you wondering why I started off this post with a quote, I actually have something to tell you about my character, my real character. Not my fake character, my real character. (Note: I do not think my professor remembers that she/he made that quote, how sad. Still, it is a great quote and I will continue to live by it.) Before I divulge information about my so-called "real character," I must let you all know that  everything  in this world has a bad side (with a few exceptions, of course). All of us have a good and bad side. The main point of it all is how much of each side we have. If we let our bad side take us over, we still start acting uncivilized, irrational, hardheaded, and possibly, into hateful human beings. I have friends who are known for their bad (yet sometimes witty) attitude, but I can still see that they have a good spirit in them.
