Final Draft of Ang Baliktanaw scheduled Friday, August 26

No more extensions. Gone were the days when we give so many excuses. I have already listed the litanies of reasons, lies and what not.

The success of the organization does not depend on one person but with the collective effort of the many.

August 26 is the submission of the final draft. I am expecting the newsletter on my table on the given date.

Thanks.

Speaking in tongues: Bitter sweet recipe towards the finish line (or at least what others think )

It's that time of the year when most (if not all) of our dear students as well faculty members become entangled with work loads and exams. Time becomes akin to a bitter gourd. Lumpy texture on the outside and tad bitter on the inside. Tumultuous volumes of bags beneath and around the eyes complimented by rubescent bumps on the face. You would perhaps exclaim, 'oh my lord,' plenty of times or amuse yourself with evil thoughts of your bosses (and to my wildest imaginations, your teachers). Stress. It affords us to reason and act unlikely. Stress, like dogs, has become the best of our meanest friends.

Stress is our own devil. It provokes us to smirk and think of sly thoughts. It is similar to a potion (lest somewhat similar) where it transforms and transcends Jackal into Hyde. Stress makes us feels as though we are the protagonists. We become recipient of pent up feelings given to us by the antagonists. Our professor might be angry with us because of certain actions we may have done earlier in his class. Or it could be an assignment which is long over due. We think of these people where tasks have originated as devil's little minions. Little by little, stress zaps out our energy and even the ability to stand back on our feet. Ay caramba!

I am no psychology major but perhaps this tip might do the trick. I once heard from someone this saying, "buckle up, we are going on a tough ride." When the tough gets going, remain calm. Stay calm. Allowing all the assignments to play in our minds at the same will only drive us crazy. Fish out which one should be done first then identify the next. It's not easy but it can give us the breeze. These minions... may instead turn out to be god's angels. They might have seen our abilities and strengths that others did not..

I am expecting the first draft (not just a dummy layout) on Monday, August 8 at exactly 10 AM. I will be waiting at the faculty room E605. Let us STICK with the schedule. Command and responsibility matters.

Thanks

Due to technical problems, I have decided to moved the Orientation cum workshop for Ang Baliktanaw from August 5 to August 8 (Monday). It will be held at the time schedule (from 1 - 5pm)at S605.

Please inform your classmates.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Time and Writing

A word from the adviser:

Time is short. Before you know it, you have already spent most likely 1 minute trying to decide which you should do first. (Believe me, I have spent over a minute trying to decide what I should do at this very moment.) Teachers and students, for instance have so many things to accomplish in a short span of time. The selected few know how to manage their schedule while the rest miserably wipe the sweat off their brow in order to beat the deadline.

I belong to the latter. I enjoy the pressure and adrenalin rushing into my brain. I can produce output in the nick of time. However not all (hitherto I am swallowing my pride) are of excellent quality. I can not help but share what has happened while I was writing the first two paragraphs of this short essay.

While writing this to you my husband asked, "what are you writing?".
"I am telling my students to devote time to writing so that it can be done properly." I then read to him what I had already wrote as evidenced above.
My husband then replied, "Oh, well why didn't you just use that sentence instead of the whole paragraphs"
He is sleeping in the living room tonight.

The lesson is write simply, succinctly and it will be much clearer. Gloss over your output not once but several times. Quality output can only take place when you devote time.
