my tears just keep on falling. :(


bakit ba puro iyak ang araw na to? naiinis na ko ha. hindi ko alam kung sadyang masakit lang yung sinasabi sa kin ng mga tao, o O.A lang talaga ako e.

pero nag-iiyak talaga ako. at ang sakit na ng ulo ko. ayoko na! grrrr.

yun bang pagod ka, tapos ineexpect mo na magiging maganda yung gabi mo kasi nga nabawasan yung workload mo. pagdating mo ng bahay, pinagsabihan ka ng pinagsabihan imbis na icomfort ka. tapos pag kausap mo na si special someone, nagtatampo pa sayo? aw.

tapos nung kausap mo na, biglang sasabihin na tutulog na sya. di man lang nag-iloveyoutoo. tapos may matatanggap kang gm, sasabihin wala syang magawa. the next thing i know, naglagalag na pala. YUN BA ANG TUTULOG? tapos kasama nya pa yung girl na yun. at ang taray ha, nagpasama sa palengke si babae. rinig ko ga. andami nila dun, sya pa ang yayayain. bwiset. binaba yung phone, tapos magagala lang pala.

nung medyo okay na sana, ibinalik na naman yung dating pinag-aawayan. grrr. SOBRANG TAPOS NA GA YUN. tapos e sasabihin na "lahat kasi inaamin mo sa kin. kahit alam mong masasaktan ako, inaamin mo pa rin". WELL, SORRY HA? kasi ayaw ko ng naglilihim sayo. wag ka mag-alala, simula ngayon, hindi na ko aamin kung masasaktan ka.

hay nako. basta. swerte daw ang 11/11/11. well, may ilang kamalasan ako ngayon. pero tomorrow is another day. Lord, guide me please, as you always did.


goodnight sa inyo (apparently hindi na good ang night ko e) ingat, may God bless us all!

Draw the Line: Connecting the Dots between Digital Literacy and Campus Journalism

Point. Click. Browse. 
Looking these words up in the dictionary, different meanings may greet you. Point may mean the tip of something. Click may mean a sound. Browse may mean leafing through the pages of a book. But at one glance, these words bring up a picture. Not of Mr. Webster, but of computers and the internet. 
      As Freeman Dyson puts it, “Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life, it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.” It is not new to the ears of today’s generation. Technology has invaded the course of humanity in almost every aspect of life – business, jobs, security, entertainment, and  education.  
               In our country, the government answers this call by promoting the so-called “digital literacy”, specifically in the Filipino students.

Digital Dots
Basically, literacy is the ability to read and write. Digital literacy, on the other hand, is the same thing, only it involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used. Furthermore, it is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology. It is more than just being literate at using a computer.
In schools, for instance, continuous updates in their curriculum are done to keep up with accelerating technological developments. . No longer does it suffice for a teacher to hold the chalk and have a nonstop speech in front of the class. Gone are the days when our only sources of information are books and teachers. Today, technology catapults the traditional learning methods into orbit. Most of the teachers are tend to use LCD projectors, DVD and CD players, television, computers, microphones, flash drives, and others.
Most of the students and teachers of today’s generation are natives of cyberspace—they are digitally savvy.
Ballpoints
Moving on. Where are the campus journalists in this pandemonium of bytes, connections, and tangled wires? What is their role in promoting digital literacy?
Being watchdogs, it is the duty of campus journalists to be a part in the promotion of digital literacy. In producing newspapers alone, there is a shred of this task’s accomplishment.  Articles are typed, lay-outing is done through software and finished products are printed.
Moreover, competitions held during press conferences also involve the use of technology. Photojournalism, for instance, makes use of the camera. The navigation and manipulation of the gadget and the photos showcase the students’ expertise on such processes. Another example is the Radio Broadcasting. Using speakers, microphones and sound effects, it is a contributor in the promotion of digital literacy.
In addition, the DepEd pushes a new group competition category on “collaborative publishing”. The journalists will be tasked to produce a four-page tabloid using Microsoft Publisher software. The published output of the teams will be uploaded to the official NSPC website. This new contest furthermore elucidates that digital literacy is not just a current issue to be waved off, that it is an essential factor in the future of today’s generation, being given utmost importance and attention.
Point. Click. Browse. These words, like technology, are not new to us. With campus journalism, these words will be understood, improved, and added to. The dots will be connected, and the line will be there, continuously moving towards the future.

my drooping eyes. urgh.

okay. tapos na ang first day ng contests sa DSPC. pero may laban pa ko bukas. :(

grabe. ganto pala yung feeling ng pagod na yung utak mo. mas matindi pa pala sa fatigue. [sus, O.A naman yun] pero seryoso, napagod talaga ako. kasi medyo alinlangan pa ko dun sa naisulat kong article, tapos afterwards tinuruan pa kami ng online writing. tapos nagpagawa pa ng article na ipapasa bukas. tapos 7pm na ko nakauwi. tapos nagloko pa yung broadband. tapos nasayang lang ang 100 pesos ko dun sa isang broadband. tapos pinagsabihan pa ng pinagsabihan ng mame. tapos hndi ko pa nasisimulan yung article. tapos si fitz e nagtatampo pa. KELAN BA MATATAPOS TO?

anyways, kelangan e tanggapin na lang. at least, God was with me all through out the day. at nagpapasalamat ako sa Kanya dahil dun. Thank you, oh Lord. sana po gabayan nyo ako bukas ulit.

sa totoo lang, wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko. alam kong contest to, at tatanggapin ko kung failure or triumph ang kalalabasan. matatanggap ko, pero sana matanggap din ng mga tao sa paligid ko. kasi ayoko ng may nadidisappoint na tao, pero minsan walang magagawa. ganun talaga.

WELL, GOODNIGHT! KEEP THE FAITH AND KEEP SMILING! :)
