New Section and New Classmates

My New Classmates :)

Alaala

Nakakatuwang alalahanin ang nakaraan lalo na ang mga taong nakilala na natin dati o minsan ay naging parte ng buhay natin kahit sandali lang, kanina nga sa Facebook tinitingnan ko yung mga tao na naging kaklase ko nung nsa elementary ako.

Parang ang tagal na nun at ang dami ng nangyari at nagbago. Kung tutuosin hindi pa naman ako ganun katanda at ilan taon lang naman ang lumipas.

Ang dami na nagbago ang mga dating magkaaway nun magkaibigan ngayon. Ang mga bata noon, Magulang na ngayon.

Tama! Magulang na sila. Ang dami kong kaklase noon na may mga anak na ngayon nakakagulat lang.

At ang nakakalungkot ay ang mga taong naging malapit sayo noon pero ngayon wala na parang hindi na kayo naging magkaibigan. Totoong napaka importante ng ating mga alaala dahil kahit lahat ay nagbago na ang ating mga alaala tungkol sa mga bagay bagay ay hindi pa rin nawawala o nagbabago.

At dahil nga sa ating alaala ay mga bagay na tayo na gusto itago at patuloy pa din ito sariwain. Dahil naging masaya tayo dito.

Gaya na lamang ng paghanap ko sa kaibigan ko noong bata pa ako. At nahanap ko naman siya at sa Facebook din. Maganda din ang nagagawa ng mga Social Networking na ito sa atin. Pinaglalapit nito ang mga tao na magkalayo.

May mga alaala din na talagang gusto natin kalimutan. At yun ay ang mga pangyayari na nakasakit sa atin. At kanina din sa Facebook nakita ko ang mga taong naging parte ng buhay ko talagang ayoko na isipin.

Masasabi ko lang sila yung mga taong nagkasala hindi lang sa akin pati sa pamilya ko. Kung pwede lang balikan ang nakaraan ay sana hindi na lang namin sila nakilala.

Dahil sa buhay, kahit gaano kadali sabihin na "let's forgive and forget" ay ganon naman ito kahirap gawin. Dahil may mga kasalanan na talagang mahirap kalimutan at dahil siguro hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ito naaayos.

Vatican: Pope can’t make it to UST’s quadricentennial anniv

MANILA, May 13, 2010—The Supreme Pontiff is not attending the 400th
founding anniversary of the Philippines' only Pontifical and Royal University.
The Apostolic Nuncio in the Philippines, Archbishop Edward Joseph Adams, has informed the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines that His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, cannot attend the grand quadricentennial anniversary celebration of the University of Santo Tomas that will culminate next year.
In his May 7, 2010 letter to CBCP president and Tandag Bishop Nereo Odchimar, Adams said the Holy Father cannot come to Manila to attend UST’s historic event. The Apostolic Nuncio’s letter however failed to disclose the reason for the Pope’s announcement.
"The Holy Father will not be coming to Manila for the anniversary, but given the importance of the quadricentennial celebrations of the university, His Holiness will be sending for the occasion his special envoy, whose name will be published in L'osservatore Romano the afternoon of Saturday, 27 November 2010," Adams said.
As of press time, UST officials declined to comment on Adam’s announcement, saying Fr. Rolando dela Rosa, who is currently out of town, should be the one to officially comment on the issue being the university's rector.
It was the third time that Pope Benedict XVI is expected to visit the Philippines since his installation to the Papacy in 2006. The Holy Father was invited to grace the Asian Youth Day held in Cavite last November and the 2nd National Congress of the Clergy held at Pasay City last January.
Founded on April 28, 1611, UST holds the distinction of being the
oldest existing university in the Philippines and in Asia. Being under the authority of the Holy See as a pontifical university, UST has been visited by Pope Paul VI on Nov. 28, 1970 and by Pope John Paul II on Feb. 18, 1981 and January 13, 1995. (Kris Bayos)

I felt sad about that news but I still don't lose hope.

and some of the Thomasian is trying to make a petition about it on Facebook

it entitles "Thomasian ask Pope Benedict XVI to grace our Quadricentennial Celebration".

What is ECONOMICS?

ECONOMICS
is a social science that studies the Production, distribution, and consumption of goods and service.
The term economics comes from the Greek word oikonomia  means 'management of household'.

There are two kinds of degrees in Economics.

Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Bachelor of Science in Economics


So, What's the difference between the two?

BA degrees is more on theory and liberal arts. It also require students to get a foreign language class.

while, BS degrees is more quantitative data (numbers, math etc.). The students may have to take upper level of calculus.

but what am I taking?

I'm taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Economics:

University of Santo Tomas

Let's start with my school.

Obviously, I'm studying at the University of Santo Tomas and I'm very proud of it.

UST is included in the TOP4 Universities in the country.

THE UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS IS THE OLDEST EXISTING UNIVERSITY in Asia. In terms of student population, it is the largest Catholic university in the world in a single campus. The institution was established through the initiative of Bishop Miguel de Benavides, O.P., the third Archbishop of Manila.

Pope Leo XIII made the University of Santo Tomas a “Pontifical University”

Pope Pius XII bestowed upon it the title of “The Catholic University of the Philippines”.

The University of Santo Tomas is the second university in the world after the Gregorian University in Vatican to be granted the formal title of Pontifical University.

The University has become the alma mater of four Filipino heroes who shaped the nation’s destiny like Jose Rizal, Emilio Jacinto, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Apolinario Mabini; Philippine Presidents such as Manuel Luis Quezon, Sergio Osmeña, Jose P. Laurel and Diosdado Macapagal; various Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, senators, congressmen, scientist, architects, engineers and writers, all outstanding in their chosen professions. It was visited by two popes, Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II, and various heads of states and foreign dignitaries.

UST will be on it's 400 years of Existence and Excellence in 2011.

I'm so glad I'll be a part of it. I can't wait for that BIG CELEBRATION :)
