Life is not to be wept over nor to be laughed at, but to be understood.
Last night, I was a reporter for our class in Educational Psychology. My preparation was kinda short because i was only given less than a week to report on the nature and scope of educ- psych which includes the school of thoughts in psychology. I actually volunteered to be the first reporter thinking it would be a zilch since I’m so used to reporting and standing in front of people.

Alvin Aljecera: Marikina is the Best in TOWN!!!
Lad Madrigal: Nakakatuwa, napaka informative at talagang helpful ang blog mo. Rating: 11 out of 10 haha.
Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D
Dennis: I was once a passerby, ngaun mukang magiging regular reader at “avid fan” na din! hahaha!
