I will be visiting this place sometime in the future. Definitely.
We are fifth year chemical engineering students from
Malayan Colleges Laguna. We have always been classmates in ALL of our courses
since we entered our third year in college. When you are nearing the end of
your college life, there will always be times that you would look back,
reminisce, and think about the past few years of your hardships, sleepless
nights, never-ending tasks, assignments, reports, and other academic stuffs
that you had to overcome. Now, we are doing our plant design and the past weeks
have been so much more tiring. (Well, that is relative to the past years of
being a chemical engineering student.) So we thought to ourselves that we need
a breather, a little break from the reality that we are caught in right now.
[from L to R] Xen, Naomi, Delanie, Julie, Clang, (Me), Joanna, Lou (the one and only woman in our group)
We have actually attended the ChELTS for the last two
consecutive years. We were really anxious to learn about the details of this
year’s LTS and when it was announced, we got very excited! First, the place is
so awesome and we definitely knew that it would be F-U-N! This will be our last
leadership training seminar as college students. Even if there have been lots
of expenses for this term, we really ensured to set aside the payment for this
event. For some of us, it meant having just burgers for lunch, skipping
merienda time, and even being the “kuripot” one for a little while. For we know
that sacrificing a little for this, would mean a lot of great things in return.
By attending this program, we know that we would gain
more friends from different schools that share the same passion, which is
chemical engineering. With all the activities lined up for us, we believe that
upon returning home, we would have so much memories and experiences to bring
with us. Those are the things that no one can take away from us. Those things
will remain in our minds and hearts as long as we would like to. And above all,
we know that this seminar will help us to be a better person, a better leader
that would work, together with other people, towards the goal of having a much
improved society.
--> we won! hurray!
I saw this piece of paper when I was cleaning up my drawer.

Its really really official! My heart is overfilled with joy whenever someone says, "Neory parang pumayat ka." or ask, "Neory pumayat ka ba?" I would smile, nod, and thank that person! =p
I have been wanting to lose weight as long as I can remember. This is the time that I really felt good about losing weight. I did not do crash diet. This weight loss started when I entered Coca-Cola SR1 for my internship. Working in there had exhausted all of my energy for a day-to-day basis. The other thing was, I don't get to have eating breaks in between. As I have phrased it, "Nakakahiyang kumain sa Coke." I was assigned in the Quality Assurance Department and I must say that work loads in there is continuous. Product sampling and testing goes on and on and on for a day. Coca-Cola SR1 works 24/7. So there, I only get to have coffee and two gardenia bread for breakfast (7am), rice+viand+fruit for lunch (11am), and rice+viand for dinner (6pm).
Now that I am stressed out because of Chemical Engineering, I do ride my bike for cardio activity.

My name came from the names of my mom and dad. Actually, dad and mom. "Neo" is my dad's name. The "ry" part came from my mom's nickname, Glory. Her real name is Gloria though. I haven't actually thought of how difficult to articulate (and not to mention spell) my name until now. Whenever I was asked by bar tenders or cashiers or anyone what my name is, they always get it wrong. The worst was in a fast food. I was sure I clearly said "Neory". Do you know what she wrote? JOY. Wow. I tried my best to recall the time she asked my name and I am certain that I uttered two syllables. How come it became "Joy"? Oh well.
The latest was in QA department. Whenever I introduce myself, the most common comment I get is something like "ang hirap naman bigkasin ng pangalan mo." One exceptional comment was Sir Mau's. He said something like "ha? ang hirap naman. Betty nlng." followed by laughs. I don't get offended when they mispronounce my name or exchange it for another name. I just laugh it off because it really entertains me hearing them call me Nyoyi, Neony, and other variations. My friends sometimes call me Neor, Neo (Nyo), and Ne-yo. But personally, I prefer Neory. It's a beautiful name for me. Ahaha! Well, you can't blame me for saying that. It is my name. It is mine forever.

This is our batch's graduation song. Batch 2008. Colegio San
Agustin Biñan. Music and Lyrics by Anna Katrina Merro and by my
batchmates Chiara Cataran and Iona Marie Ventocilla. I really love this
song so much that it seems like every time I hear this song, it makes me wanna
cry! I am proud to be an Augustinian!
Here's a link to the recording. http://twitmusic.com/chiaracataran/songs/make-it-real-make-it-happen-csa-bn-08-grad-song
*Arranged by: 1708, Performed
by: ChickenJoy, JollyBoy, and 1708 (seems like they are all
fans of Jollibee)
Chorus:
Reach high above no matter how far
Follow your dream, close in on the stars
Nothing's Impossible, Be who you want to be
Make it real, Make it happen
1st Stanza:
We've been through tough and rough
With a strike of laughter in between
Learning each step of the way
To achieve our cherished dreams
(CHORUS)
2nd Stanza:
For years we’ve passed times together
In mischief and success
We held on to each other
Friendships are stronger than ever
Bridge:
Now we’re standing at the end of a road
A road we’ve been in together for years
But starting today, we’ll go on our separate ways
And everything would be a memory
We’ll treasure for the rest of our lives
Pre-Chorus:
Don’t be afraid and open the door
Know what’s inside what you’re aiming for
'Cause after all these years,
We know we can make it
(CHORUS 2X)
This has been a tiring day.
7:30 in the morning, I woke up. I ate my breakfast and did academic stuffs.
9:15am I am answering drills in our correlation when I realized it's 9:15am and I have a 10am class! My goodness! I rushed! I was able to get to school around 10:05am. Whew! *I was wearing my formal attire already.
We had lectures on mass transfer. Then on Biotech class, TRES came in to campaign. After that we talked about stem cells.
Lunch time. Cafeteria. No vacant tables. Many students are just there with their laptops on. They were not eating. Lou tried to ask a group of students if they can transfer because they are not eating. We got the table but he almost got into a fight. I think. Well, it's the downside of not having security guards around the cafeteria. Students make it their "tambayan" and/or study area. As if our cafeteria is big enough.
MSE. Videos. I actually learned a lot about polymers.
English. Panel Interview. I was one of the interviewers. Our group, I think, had the longest interview. It's because Telax had a follow-up question for all five of the interviewees and because each of the interviewee has a question for each of the interviewer. I shouldn't have asked "Do you have any questions for us?". Haha!
ChE team won Volleyball!
5:40pm I decided to go home because the game that I wanted to watch hadn't started yet. What a frustration. I drove lazily. I hated it. My sister complained "Ang gulo mo naman mag-drive Ate Neory. Nakakahilo." Too bad. I wasn't really in the mood to drive smoothly. This is the third time that I failed to watch him play. Sheesh.
I went home and I have been doing this written report since 7pm and I'm not done yet! I am exhausted. Really. This is what my leap day has been. -_-

We watched Vampires Suck and Step Up 3. We ate a lot! Two boxes of pizza, tons of chips, 5 liters of iced tea and 1.5 liters of coke! It was really really fun! As in so much fun! Look at our faces. =)
"Magkita sa may room sa tapat ng caf."
^Meg told me this when I asked her where we should meet. When I read her text message, I was like, "Where on earth is that room?" There is no room in front of the cafeteria! My goodness Meg Anne G. Santos! I just directly went into our room for Research class and when she came in a little later she was complaining to me, "I was waiting for you in front of the bookstore." -_- Crazy talk right?
Jonan always interchanges sounds like
"Scookie and cream" - cookies and cream
"Standing Jong Lump" - standing long jump
"Grean Jey" - Jean Grey of XMen

Hi.
My name is Neory Mangaliman. I am from Malayan Colleges Laguna with a degree in
Chemical Engineering. I always have the drive to perform well above the
standards. I always try to do my best everytime, the first time. My academic
grades are proof of my dedication. I ranked 10 out of the 300+ high school students
of Colegio San Agustin batch 2008. Since I started college, I have been a
constant academic scholar of MCL. Modesty aside, my name has always appeared in
the dean’s list and also in the president’s list. I am also a part of the Chemical
Engineering quizzers team. Our team is the champion of the first ever MITL
Tri-Wizard Quiz Bee. Also, our team made it into the nationals after we ranked
5th in PIChE Luzon Quiz Bowl
2011. You may think that I only got brains but no. I can socialize
and communicate with people very well. I have been an active member of
different clubs since high school. I took on a leadership role when I was
elected the Committee Head for Academics of the Association of Chemical Engineering
Students. Being a director of “The Trial of Mang
Serapio”, which was awarded the Best Drama Interpretation of East Meets West
Drama Festival 2009, enhanced my skills in leading people. In addition to that,
I also have
attended leadership training seminars and other several conventions which
helped me gain new knowledge and diversify my ways of thinking. I have the
basic knowledge of using MATLAB, AutoCAD, and C++ programming language. I am
also adept in the use of spectrophotometer, centrifuge, autoclave, digital pH
meter and other common lab apparatus. So if you’re looking for a
goal-oriented, self-motivated, and outgoing person, I am the one. I would be
pleased to hear from you. I really appreciate your taking a minute to see me.
Thank you.
When the movie started, I saw a
prideful Charlie Babbit who is so full of himself. He is an independent man who
ran away from home when he was sixteen because he hated his father so much for
letting him stay in prison for two days because he “stole” the Buick of his
father. He also said that since his mother died when he was two, he and his
father did not get along. He also remembered an imaginary friend, “Rain Man”
who sings to him whenever he was scared. Since he left home, Charlie did not
communicate with his father in any way. He did not need to know anything about
his father until his death. When he was told about his father’s death, Charlie
just shrugged it off and only because of Susanna that they went to the funeral.
I thought to myself, “What kind of son is he?” Maybe his father had not been
fully a father to Charlie but still, he had provided for Charlie from the
beginning. Charlie was also angered when he found out that his father only left
him his Buick and his gardens of roses. Then he got mad when he knew that the
three-million dollar inheritance will go to some institution that he eventually
known to be a mental institution where his brother was staying. He did not know
that he had a brother. He asked repeatedly, “Why didn’t anybody tell me I had a
brother?” He kept on asking that question with anger in his voice, and because
of that I also thought what Dr. Bruner told Charlie Babbit, “What’s the point?
What would you’ve done about this?” Would it change anything if Charlie knew he
had a brother? I think the answer is yes. Charlie said he doesn’t know if that
would have changed anything. But I am thinking that may be deep in his heart Charlie
felt that things should not have been that way it were if he only knew he had a
brother. If he had known about Raymond, maybe he did not run away from home
because he knows he still has someone to call family aside from his father.
Their journey as brothers started when Charlie decided to take Raymond with him
to Los Angeles so that he could start a custody
battle and possibly get half of the inheritance of Raymond.
When
Charlie tried to know more about his brother, he discovered that he is an
autistic savant. Raymond has autism and performs high above the average when
doing certain things, like his superb recall. He acts weirdly compared to
normal people. He has his own rituals and always follows his routines. He had
his food scheduled everyday of the week. He also had his television show
viewing schedule. He loves cheese balls and apple juice. He is great in drawing,
complex mathematics, and counting things just by looking at them. He also loves
books. He reads lots of books but he doesn’t remember if he had read those
books if you ask him. Whenever he gets nervous, he does “Who’s on First?” When
his routine is not followed, he screams. When people also make him do the
things he doesn’t like to do, he reacts violently. When he sees things that
remind him of a fearful incident from the past, probably a traumatic
experience, he shouts and even hurt himself. Just like boarding on a plane,
riding on a covered car, driving on a highway, hot water in the tub, and the smoke
alarm. Though Raymond has problems in communicating, learning, and even expressing
his emotions, I am certain that he could feel emotions like other people. He
just couldn’t process those emotions like normal people do.
It was revealed that
Raymond was sent to the mental institution after an incident in the tub with
hot water and Charlie Babbit. They thought that he would hurt the Charlie
Babbit so they put him away. Also, Raymond is the one whom Charlie remembered
wrongly as Rain Man when he was a child. Rain Man was the protective figure in
Charlie’s childhood that would sing to him everytime he gets scared. Bit by
bit, Charlie finds himself becoming protective
of Raymond. Little by little he understands Raymond even he does and wants the
oddest things in this world. Charlie taught Raymond how to dance. As a man of
pride, the old Charlie Babbit could have not taught Raymond how to dance
because he will say to himself that it is so gay and awkward. But inspite of
the fact that dancing with his autistic brother is a lame idea, he still did it.
He taught Raymond how to dance out of love. He even felt like giving Raymond a
hug. That moment struck a chord in me. I felt his love for his brother. Inspite
of his superficial antics, Charlie Babbit had grown to love Raymond Babbit, his
brother, truly. Further evidence of his love for his brother was the time when
he refused to accept the two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-dollar check that Dr.
Bruner tried to give him for him to leave Raymond alone. But Charlie said that
it was not about the money anymore. He wants to be with his brother because he
cares about his brother. Knowing his brother, even just for a short period of
time, Raymond changed the heart of Charlie Babbit. Having his brother in his
life certainly made his world turn around. Charlie Babbit learned how to love without
expecting anything in return. He finally learned how to love unconditionally.
Autism is known as a complex developmental disability that
presents itself during the first three years of a person's life. The condition
is the result of a neurological disorder that has an effect on normal brain
function, affecting development of the person's communication and social
interaction skills. People with autism have issues with non-verbal
communication, a wide range of social interactions, and activities that include
an element of play and/or banter.1 In
many cases, genetic anomalies associated with autism are not inherited, but are
considered to be spontaneous
mutations. Many researchers believe that a
combination of several genetic differences plus some form of environmental
"insult," may lead to autism.2 The exact causes of Autism
are not yet known but experts say that both genetic and environmental factors
play a significant role. There is also no known cure for Autism. The most
effective treatment known today is behavioral intervention (structured teaching
of skills). Early and intensive education can help children with autism grow
and learn new skills. Autism is a disability that anyone could have but love is
a powerful cure that anyone could give. Being “normal” is subjective when you
talk about it with the inclusion of love, because love definitely surpasses
anything. Love surpasses Autism.

it's been a while and lots and lots of things had happened but look at my blog.. so left behind.. I really feel sorry about it because I told myself to always update this blog.. -_- well, I guess this is the real trade off of being a Chemical Engineering student.. *sigh*
-->I just saw this in facebook. I do not own anything here, including the photo and the caption. I just find it really interesting that it makes me want to write this place into my bucket list and go there someday.
