Why do people get DRUNK?

2009-08-15T08:12:00.000-07:00

Just a while ago, on my way home, inside a public utility jeep, i was sitting right in front of a drunk old man. He was really drunk. Few minutes after ridding in, he started coughing and sneezing like an asleep baby. He even didn't cover his mouth while doing the act!!! He spitted inside the jeep, right in front of my shoes, not just once!

It was so horrible... but suddenly I pity him. Questions like "Where is his wife?", "Where are his children?", "Who's taking care of him?", "Where does he live?", "Why is he drunk?" came flashing through my mind.

Some of the common answers to the last question are the following:

Why not?
peer pressure
to be social
just Drinking
escapism or denial of reality
to relax and relieve stress
to fill a void
emotional escape
to numb their pain
they are alcoholics
gives me some extra confidence
it makes someone feel good

Which of the above do you think is the old man's reason of getting drunk?
How about you? What are your reasons of getting drunk? Are they listed above? If not, what are they?

Let me ask you...

How would you know the will of GOD?

As this question was asked by our Campus Life administrator, several thoughts came flashing through our minds.

We then gave our answers and discussed them. My answer went like this...

"We will be able to realize that it is God's will especially in times when we are in a situation wherein we are trying our best to achieve a particular goal through any means possible but still fail in the end. And the outcome is not the one we expected and wanted."

Have you been in this kind of situation? How do you respond with it? Isn't it disappointing? But have you ever thought that it may be God's will?

But how would you really know the will of God? Our administrator's answer was...

"You have to know God first before you'll be able to know his will."

Now, think of your parents, your siblings, your friends, and those people around you... How would you know their will? Yes, you have to know them first. And once you know them already, you'll be able to know what they really want and what they really need.

Knowing someone may actually take time. And as each time passes by, you'll know him/her more and more...

Third Poem...

2009-07-18T19:50:00.000-07:00

To Sleep OR Not To Sleep?

Feeling weary and exhausted, I lay in bed,
Trying to extract the things I am supposed to do.
And as those things popped out from my head,
Twinge crawled through my system, from head to toe.

Suddenly I felt my body was incapacitated.
I attempted to get up, but my system refused.
By the cold of the night, I was persuaded
And unknowingly, slowly, my eyes closed.

I opened my eyes then left my bed,
And started to carry out each single task.
When I completed it all, I was relieved,
And decided to go back to bed, to sleep at last.

When I woke up in the morning, I was saddened,
For I realized that the third stanza was only a fantasy.
Oh, my body is still tired!!!
But I have to get up to turn the third stanza a reality...

A poem in the middle of the rainy evening...

2009-06-27T07:36:00.000-07:00

This is another poem I wrote before I went to sleep the other night. It is just a short poem. I poured out my feelings at that particular moment. It was too heavy...

...If I Am A Cloud...
Mitchel R. Sy

As I lay in bed, all I can hear
Is the rain steady falling.
Seems like the clouds can no longer bear
The hefty burden it's carrying.

I wish I could uncork this feeling easily,
Just like the cloudburst from the sky.
All these bitterness inside me,
That can't be withdrawn with just a cry.

I don't want to hang on to this feeling
For this will do no good for me.
Seeds of anger and hatred are dominating,
I have to cease it, and set myself free.

I wish I could be a cloud
Even just for this night.
So that I could take all these bitterness out,
And replace it with a light.

A poem for my Dear...

2009-06-13T21:54:00.000-07:00

I wrote this poem for my boyfriend. We've been together for 5 years already. I'm not really good at writing poems but I just expressed what was inside my heart at that very moment.

... Let Me ...
Mitchel R. Sy

Watching those teary eyes of yours my Dear,
Is actually one of the things that this heart of mine can’t bear.
Oh how I wish I could take those miseries away from you.
To put a smile in your face is what I desire to do.

Let me partake in the extreme distress that you are in,
Let me help in carrying that heavy burden,
Let me be incised by your predicament’s blade,
Let me shed tears too so you won’t be exhausted.

Let me enfold you in my arms oh Dear,
I want to embrace you tight.
Let me feel the beat of your heart so sincere,
I want to check if it’s alright.

The vows we made, we should unfailingly remember.
Both of us will consistently be there for each other.
For my heart belongs to you and yours to mine,
We will stand up to every trial until the end of time.

College Dance Troupe

2009-06-13T20:59:00.000-07:00

CIT College Dance Troupe

Aside from the DOST SA CIT - Department of Science and Technology Scholars' Association of Cebu Institute of Technology, I am also a member of the CIT College Dance Troupe. I joined the group through an audition when I was still in first year. I'm dancing for the school for three years already.

What are the benefits of being in the group? Well, enjoying a tuition fee discount and meeting new friends!!!

Mrs. Agosto

Our new adviser, Mrs. Lonnie Ann Agosto, was a dance troupe member when she was still in high school and even in college. She's strict but kind...

Looking forward for the Scholars' Camp Season 4...!

Scholars' Camp Season 3

Scholars' Camp is a yearly activity of the DOST Scholars of Cebu Institute of Technology, batch 2006-2010. The camp is not exclusive, which means non-DOST scholars can join too. It includes some engrossing activities which are taken care of by the officers.

The camp usually starts with probing, wherein participants would scatter to discover the beauty of the place and ends with giving of certificates and tokens.

Warren's Beach Resort

For me, the most fascinating part of the activity is the "Open Forum" in which participants share their thoughts and feelings with anything and with anybody.

Scholars' Camp Season 1 ---------- 15-16 October 2006, Tabor Hills, Talamban, Cebu City
Scholars' Camp Season 2 ---------- 15-16 October 2007, Mountain View, Busay, Cebu City
Scholars' Camp Season 3 ---------- 15-17 October 2008, Warren's Beach Resort, San Remegio, Cebu
Scholars' Camp Season 4 ---------- ??-?? ???????? 2009, ???????????????????????

If you'll ask me which camp was the most memorable one, it would be the Scholars' Camp Season 1. Things went well in the camp and the activities were great specially the "Open Forum". The officers really did their job and the members were very cooperative. I hope, for the last season, everything will be fine too...

RA 7687 Science and Technology Scholarship

2009-06-12T17:01:00.000-07:00

2008-2009 DOST SA CIT Officers with Sir Duites
(Leadership Training Workshop Season 3)

RA 7687 Scholarship program is one of the undergraduate scholarship programs being offered by the Department of Science and Technology. It focuses on talented students whose family’s socio-economic status does not exceed the set cut-off values of certain indicators. These indicators included: high school tuition fees, electric bills and annual family income of not more than P156,600.00.

Luckily, I am one of the 1,749 who qualified for the 2006 RA 7687 Science and Technology Scholarships out of the 15,835 examinees who took the national exam on 4 December 2005.

I can still remember when we were asked by our teacher what our life would be as we picture it out 3 years from that very day. Only one scenario came into my thought...and that was...myself, bringing my bag and some books, in a school uniform together with some of my future classmates. And I'm so glad that it was brought to reality. I was in my last year in high school at that moment. And now, I am in my last year in college. Thanks to the scholarship.
