A Love Letter To My Dear Registrar

Monday, November 8, 2010 at 1:18am

To the Registrar,



Good Day and Greetings of Peace.



My name is Fervil Von D. Tripoli, a student from the College of Arts and Social Science. I have stopped schooling a year ago and would like to return again this year.



Recurring for this 2nd semester class, I would like to enroll under the department of History. But under the rules of the university, one should’ve a GPA of at least 76% and is also considered as passing rate for thou to continue being in this school. Unluckily, I was one of the ill-fated who didn’t make it. I failed, getting a GPA of 3.84 in my evaluation.



As I watch my evaluation sheet in horror, several ideas were running in my head on how to persuade you my dear registrar – and most of them were fallacious. I would sound bogus if I’d show you medical records stating that I got sick and have been incapacitated to go to my classes during these past few semesters. Telling you that I had a big big family problem or suffering from financial instability might do the trick also. But today, I learned things that helped me write this letter to you, it’s about being humble and pure in heart. I did not come into your presence just to lie so that I can still enroll, I have come to ask for forgiveness and beg for your heartfelt mercy to let me through this and spare my life… letting me enroll this semester.



I know how the standard of MSU-IIT works in the life of every student and I admit that I have fell short in meeting the standard of the institute. And I know that I can’t turn things the way I’d like it to happen but I’d still like to have a little faith even in the most contemptible bit. Chance Ma’am, that’s what I yearn for. I can never erase the reflection of my errors and clean my records but I promise to compromise my stupidest mistakes by doing my best this semester. I know I can, but I can’t do that without your permission.



I know it’s the dead end for me but I can’t just sit back without giving it a try. Truth is, I am really scared of what’s going to happen next. I might be one of the million faceless students who dreamt of graduating in a prestige university but failed along the way, but I can be one of the few who would dare to challenge torment just to get through. I am still feeling guilty for failing you Ma’am, I feel sorry for my parents too, and am still feeling sorry for myself.



This is my lifeline in MSU-IIT. I’m still hoping that you would reconsider my plea my dear registrar. But then if the school is not for me, I’ll still accept the awful truth behind my downheartedness.



I am still grateful for being part of the university.



Sorry po Ma’am, God Bless and More Power.





Sincerely Yours,

Fervil Von Tripoli

It's my dei. Q & A ang bipolar.

Unexpected?:
Siguro sa point nga people who knew you but not closer to you passed by and greeted HPBD.

Moments?:

Nothing in particular. Same as casual days of a mere mortal.

Grateful?:
Yes, could be. because of lack of apprehension of what's going to happen. maybe 50 people out of the thousands you met greeted a happy happy birthday (wherein 3/4 of the count became close to you for sometime in your life)

What's in your mind?
Nothing. It's just that, i think this birthday is memorable to mum and dad coz it's the first birthday i celebrated together with mah family eversince i was away.

In my part? yea, basin di nalang pod si mum and dad ang happy. Maybe kami tanan.

Pilde man sa game sa dota ang core is nobody ruined my day. so i kept the smile in my face.

Personal Evaluation Sheet:

SLOTH -------------- 68%
GREED -------------- 40%

HUMANS AREN'T FERPECT, are they? :s

7 deadly sins still resides in my heart. People eventually die so i don't have to worry. i may have no sense of direction but i hope, by turning 21... my days would not turn to waste. dapat naay maaccomplish

Well let see... letsi.

If i can meet mr.happiness along the sidewalks.

WHAT DO I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE THE YEAR ENDS... NO, I MEAN BEFORE I DIE:

1. Earn: Money, Glory, Fame
2. Change: Outlook, Feature, Facade
3. Love: Plenty, Happy, Wild




JULY 17, 2010

-untitled-

Just by the time i imagined myself
kneeling down
and offering a bunch of roses,

Just by the time i was dreaming of
kissing your tender rosy lips,

Just by the time i'm about to
say "I Love You"

Suddenly...

I woke up and saw myself lying,
bleeding, asking for some reasons
why the hell am i falling for
someone like you.

Just because you chose him over me,
i pleaded more of beauty, respect
and love.

Painful everyday, painful.

Some Sort Of A Field Trip

May 29, 2010

We left Gensan for the 2-day tour in South Cotabato and Gensan. It was 4:20 am when we started moving out of the city and proceeded to the first spot of our choice: The Lake Sebu.

The scenic Lake Sebu

Scenic Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, dubbed the “Summer Capital of the South”, is a protected landscape and the ancestral home of the T'boli people. Located in the Daguma Mountains of SOCSKSARGEN, it boasts three beautiful mountain lakes (Sebu, Seloton and Lahit) and seven waterfalls, as well as the rich culture of the T'bolis, now internationally known for their t'nalak cloth. The scenery and light in this place make it a photographer's paradise, and the mountains offer adventures for intrepid trekkers.

While waiting for the tour guide to get ready we seized the moment to have a little picture taking

Just a pose

How to get there…
With the concreting of the road leading up to Lake Sebu, it is now very easy to visit the place. Gone were those days when it took almost four hours over dirt roads and rivers that overflow during the rainy season, now it's less than 30 minutes.

From the capital city of Koronadal, one passes thru the towns of Banga and Surallah. Just a little farther from the poblacion of Surallah is a junction to the left going to the town of T'boli and a little farther is another junction to the left going to Lake Sebu.

PUNTA ISLA

The Rice (egg on the bottom and it seemed like a burger to me because they made the veggies as patty)

Tilapia-mm yumm

It was past six in the morning when we arrived at the most popular resort located at the mouth set of lake Sebu: Punta Isla. It was a little bit early yet my comrades seem to have a robust amount of energy in this event. We had our breakfast at one of their cottages, got served with their most precious delicacies, and were happy seeing the food presentation. Upon having the breakfast, I didn’t bother asking my classmates about it but I enjoyed listening to the tribal sound played by one of the locale. It gives a perfect theme on going-out-the-city-and-go-to-the-countryside moments of mine. We got ready and took the next step of unrevealing the beauty of Lake Sebu. The witty T’boli tour guide enjoyed cracking jokes as we wander the lake with amusement. 3 lakes: Lake Sebu (biggest); lake Lahit (smallest); Lake Seloton (deepest). 3 lakes: Lake Sebu (biggest); lake Lahit (smallest); Lake Seloton (deepest). 3 lakes: Lake Sebu (biggest); lake Lahit (smallest); Lake Seloton (deepest). The lake has 700 meters depth and has a cone-shaped volcano with the mouth facing the floor. When the underwater volcano spouts some ashes, locally grown fishes such as tilapias die.

A slight picture taking

And an another photo shoot

MERL GARDEN RESORT

Merl is some sort of a farm that has a nice view of a typical rural zone but what's better about this place is that you can choose over relaxing on their swimming pool or try an adventure ride with their zipline.

We also had our horse back riding and I blurted out ROFLMFAO because Xhina was shaking while riding the mama horse (she wasn't afraid of riding at the back of the horse, she was afraid because she was tailed by the fawn of the horse rushing right next to her).

The zipline story

THE FARM

I didn't notice this one, maybe I was too busy reading their catalog

This chair is so "cool"

Had our little

The Japs garden, nice view when you would want walking around their lawn (you can also rent a room  nearby)

Their meeting hall

Clubhouse for merienda

 DEL RIO

I feel comfortable sketching and writing at my dull moments

The Del Rio Resort is the place where we settled down for the night (Yeahh, since tomorrow will be another big day for our unwavering journey). We haven't had many pictures to take in this place since this is just one plain resort with a pool but mind you we did a little gig when the darkness came over. Some shots of beer and some spicy and sizzling food for dinner served me well. *hmm*


DURIAN GARDEN

Welcome to Durian Garden

They also have their version of Butterfly Sanctuary

A little swing beneath the durian trees

TRAPPISTINE MONASTERY

This was Sunday so our teach brought us to this highlands chapel to have a Sunday Mass.
Place is unique, and clean too.

SARANGGANI HIGHLANDS

The Saranggani Highlands is one of the best tourist destinations in Gen. Santos City. It's a restaurant located at the top of a hill. An overlooking view of the whole Saranggani Bay while taking a lunch isn't a bad idea, right?

A simple yet elegant table centerpiece

Food

Another yummy mouthwatering stomach-grumbling tasty FOOOD!

This was the last destination, we took off going back to our respective homes after having a lunch party at this place. Nevertheless, this event is seasonal. And it might be one of the first thing I ever had, but I'm pretty sure it won't be the last one.
