Scholarship opportunity

January 3rd, 2009 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne

Be a scholar…and lead your country…

I am glad to inform everybody that the organization, VLIR has opened its doors…

Visit the site http://www.scholarships.vliruos.be/

or if you’d like to be well-versed and well-travelled in Europe, you might as well try your luck in one of the many Erasmus mundus scholarships offered. (i am an Erasmus mundus scholar btw).

i personally would like you to visit this site (i am biased for this one, as this is my course)

http://www.eumaine.ugent.be/ - for biology and agriculture grads willing to take on the challenges of nematology.

and for the other pinoys who are not interested in that field but would love to have a chance, this is the main link for the European Commission site (with links to all Erasmus mundus courses)

http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/mundus/projects/index_en.html

as my fellow pinoy scholar aptly said, and i shall quote him: “I challenge those ambitious individuals who want to make a history in Europe… heed the call, make a difference and be a leader to our homeland…”

(nga pala pahabol. bilis bilisan nyo ha kasi malapit na deadline for application. february ang sa eumaine at vlir-uos for MSc Nematology)

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don’t get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care.

What’s Your Name’s Hidden Meaning?

Everything to me  by Avalon

I grew up in sunday school
I memorized the Golden rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me
And I don’t know what to say
But i’ll never be the same
Because he changed my life when He became…

Everything to me
He’s more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He’s the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He’s everything, everything to me

We’re living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that i’m aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I’m praying
Just to give my heart away
I want live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that he is…

Everything to me
He’s more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He’s the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He’s everything
And looking back over my life at the end
I’ll go to meet you saying you’ve been…

You’re everything to me
You’re more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You’re everything to me
You’re more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You’re the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You’re everything to me
Lord, you’re everything to me

 

i love this song :)

TRUST HIS HEART

 

All
things work for our good
Though sometimes we can’t see How they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth

Our Father knows what’s best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just don’t see Him
Remember you’re never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don’t understand
When you don’t see His plan
When you can’t trace His hand
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds the future in His hand
Don’t live as those who have no hope
While our hope is found in Him.

We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry, He’s weaving you and me,
To someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don’t understand
When you don’t see His plan
When you can’t trace His hand
Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don’t understand
When you don’t see His plan
When you can’t trace His hand
Trust His heart

When you don’t understand
When you don’t see His plan
When you can’t trace His hand
Trust His heart

Trust His heart

one of my most favorite songs

May 21st, 2008 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne


I will not offer anything that costs me nothing


I cannot come before my righteous Holy Lord

 

And offer to Him worldly things I do not need

 

And hope He’s pleased

 

 

For He wants me to give, a heart that’s truly His

 

An offering of the highest price

 

A servant whom, the Lord can use

 

 

I’II will not offer anything that costs me nothing

 

I’ll place before Him nothing less than my very best

 

And if I’m called to sacrifice

 

It will be worthy of my Christ

 

I will not offer anything that costs me nothing

 

 

To serve Him is my goal, how could I withhold

 

Whatever’s mine He’s given me, it’s not my own

 

It’s His alone

 

 

Whatever He requires, it is my desire

 

Whatever He may need from me,

 

I’ll pay the cost, gain or loss

 

 

I will not offer anything that costs me nothing

 

I’ll place before Him nothing less than my very best

 

And if I’m called to sacrifice

 

It will be worthy of my Christ

 

 

I will not offer anything that costs me nothing!!!

r u 1 of d many?

June 13th, 2007 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne


            So…Isa ka ba sa kanila????  =)

ang ilang mga rason kung bakit single ang status mo…


    11. Destiny Adik

Eto yung mga naghihintay kay "Destiny" na gumawa ng paraan para
pagtagpuin sila ng kanilang mga "partner in life".. ayannn…
kakapanood nyo ng "Serendipity" eh feeling nyo ang nangyari sa movie eh
mangyayari rin sa inyo… such a cliche.. hindi ba nyo alam na kung
walang effort destiny is
useless.

10. Perfectionist/ Mapili

Yes, isang taong perpeksiyonista. Yung tipong "dapat ganito ang
magiging kapartner ko". Pag may nakilala, nakita lang na pangit ang
kuko o maydumi lang, turn-off na agad. O kaya ang daming ayaw. Ayaw sa
mabait, boring daw, gusto bad boy/ pilya pero kapag pinaiyak ka
tatanungin ka "bakit ang sama mo", "bakit mo nagawa yun!"… Adik ka
ba?!… Ayaw sa cute, ayaw din naman sa panget. Meron dyan gusto ka
ayaw mo naman.. yung gusto mo halos magtambling ka pero deadma pa rin
yang stunts mO sa kanya! Pasaway ka rin e! Ano ba talaga kuya?


9. Busy Busyhan

Opo, eto yung ang mundo e gumagalaw lang sa libro at ballpen kung
estudyante ka o kaya naman sa computer at files kung office staff ka.
Yung tipong aalis ng bahay ng alas 6 o alas 7 ng umaga at uuwi ng bahay
ng 6 hanggang alas 8 ng gabi [baligtad naman para sa mga nag tratrabaho
sa call center]. Sabay tulog na. Kapag sabado masaya na sila sa tv, sa
pagkain na niluluto ni mama at sa linggo naman sisimba at maghahanda na
ng kelangan para sa lunes hanggang byernes. Pssssst.. pause for a while
naman!


8. Friendship Theory

Ano naman ito?… Eto yung ang buhay ay kay bestfriend o kaya kay
special friend, na hindi masabi-sabi sa friendship nya sa loob ng
kanilang mahabang panahon na pagsasama, dahil baka daw maapektuhan ang
pakikipagkaibigan at iwasan sya. Yung tipong pag may kasama si
friendship na iba, nagseselos na wala naman sa lugar, pero syempre wag
pahalata, kunyari happy sya for friendship. ABA ! Oi! Lakasan mo ang
loob mo at baka mamaya forever mong pagsisihan yan, kaw rin!… Minsan
pa naman pareho pala kayong naghihintayan. . hmmp!


7. Born-to-be-one (Autistic)

Eto yung nasa palad na ang pagiging single daw. Walang reasons. Basta
lang nabuhay sya sa mundo na mag-isa at feeling nya mamamatay sya sa
mundong mag-isa. Kesyo magmamadre o magpapari na lang… Asa kang
tatanggapin ka pa noh!


6. Happy-go-lucky

Eto yung taong walang alam kundi kasiyahan at trippings. Kahit sino na
lang basta no strings attached. For fun lang daw… Walang halong
seryosohan. ABA hoy! Yang init ng katawan mo e ikiskis mo na lang sa
pader. Makakahanap ka rin ng katapat mo!!!


5. Wrong Place

May nakaranas na ba nito? Yung pakiramdam mo nasa ibang mundo ka. Yung
ang nakakaharap mo e yung mga hindi mo gusto, yung mga hindi mo
hinahanap. Alam mo yun? Halimbawa nasa ibang bansa ka, pero ang
hinahanap mo e yung amoy ng nasa sariling bayan mo. O kaya naman e nasa
sarili mong bayan ka, nasa normal na lipunan, pero ikaw ang abnormal at
hindi mo kayang sabihin na abnormal din ang hanap mo kung ayaw mong
ibitin ka nila ng
patiwarik.


4. Wrong Time

Eto yung mga tao na sinasabi na "hindi pa ako ready e, bata pa kasi
ako" o kaya naman "hindi pa ako handa sa panahong ito", "wala pa ako
kayang ipagmalaki". Yes meron pong ganyan. Yung feeling nila may tamang
panahon para sa love. Awwwwwww!… Aba kelan yun?!… Pag uugod-ugod ka
na at yung time mo e bitin na? O baka naman pag pang-out of time ka na?
Oist, sugod lang ng sugod!


3. Si Parents kasi…

Yes, factor din ang komyunidad na ginagalawan mo. Una, ayaw pa ni mader
o pader na magkaron ka kahit 22 anyos ka na at kelangan umabot ka muna
raw ng 40 bago magkaroon ng gf/bf. O kaya naman ikaw mismo! Takot sa
sasabihin ni parents at ni kapitbahay na tsismosa sa magiging kasama
mo. Aba ikaw na nga ba ang sabihan na "Alam mo hindi kayo bagay. Langit
at lupa kayo." Awwwww!… Payo ko sayo, "Pakialam nila diba?…
Palibhasa inggit!"


  2. Traumatic Experience

Eto kalimitan ang reason ng marami. "Ayaw kona!!! Takot na ako mangyari
pa ang nangyari dati!"… O diba, ang drama ng layp?… Yes, tama ka.
Eto yung dahil sa past relationship mo, e until now aayaw mo nang
magkaroon at sinumpa mo na ata ang magmahal. Dahil sa pinagpalit ka sa
mas pangit, o kaya naman iniwan ka ng walang word na bye-bye, o dahil
binugbog ka!, anopa ba?… Madami yan wag na nating isa-isahin at baka tumulo si tears, heheh… Gayunpaman, eto lang masasabi ko mga hija at
hijo… Ibat-iba ang lasa ng pag-ibig. May mapait, may mapakla, may
matamis at may maasim. Aba , mapalad ka at natikman mo ang ibat-ibang
lasa nito! Kaya ikaw, "Do not be afraid to fall in love again… malay
mo, sweetiness na ang malasahan mo next time.! E di panalo ka sa lotto!
Yan ang nagpapalakas sayo… Yan ang bumubuhay sayo… ang pag-ibig. Tsk! Drama!


1. EX to the Nth power

Oi, aminin!!! LOVE pa rin si Ex kahit 1 or 2 yrs na ang nakakalipas.
May ganito naman. Yung tipong ilang taon na ang nakakalipas, hindi pa
rin makalimutan si ex. Yung pinagsamahan, yung tawanan, yung iyakan, at
lahat ng
nangyari sa inyo nung kayo pa. Malungkot man at sa kung anumang
kadahilanan, maganda man o masama ito, kelangan nyo ng magpaalam sa
isa’t- isa… YES, after a year sasabihin natin, "I’m over him/her
na.", pero pag-usapan natin ang love at ang nangyari sa ating
relationship from the past, TADANANANNNNNNNNNNN , eto na, sya agad ang
naalala mo. At habang nagkukwento ka, OUCH! may kirot, o kaya may ngiti
at may bumabagabag sa iyong kalooban. Ano kaya yun?!… AMININ mo na
kasi, MAHAL mo pa si EX… Isa lang ang masasabi ko, well, mahirap sya
kalimutan alam ko yan, pero open your heart and makipagdate ka, lumabas
ka, at try to entertain someone. Wag mo ikumpara si ex sa iba. At give
urself a KITKAT, take a break.

Oh, san ka pa?… Grab one now! LOLZ!

April 9th, 2007 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne

shudve posted this a week ago.. but i didnt have the time. too busy preparing for so many things, graduations this week, last week was very busy. with all the reports that needed to be submitted, the files that needed to be encoded, people to talk to, presentations to prepare and finish (wahh at least for now there are only two..)

yeng’s songs

March 19th, 2007 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne

Hawak Kamay

Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko makakaya”
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

[chorus]
Hawak-kamay
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
Hawak-kamay
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Minsan madarama mo
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Laging isipin meron kang kasama
Narito ako oh, Narito ako

[repeat chorus]

Sa mundo ng kawalan
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Salamat (ang Awitin)

Kung ito man ang huling awiting aawitin
Nais kong malaman mong ika’y bahagi na ng buhay ko
At kung may huling sasabihin
Nais kong sambitin nilagyan mo ng kulay ang mundo

Kasama kitang lumuha
Dahil sa ‘yo ako’y may pag-asa

[chorus]
Ang awiting ito’y para sa ‘yo
At kung maubos ang tinig ‘di magsisisi
Dahil iyong narinig mula sa labi ko
Salamat, salamat

Sana’y iyong marinig ang tibok ng damdamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin ang awiting ko’y iyong dinggin
At kung marinig ang panalangin
Lagi kang naroroon humihiling ng pagkakataon

Masabi ko sa iyo ng harapan
Kung gaano kita kailangan

[repeat chorus]

Ito na ang pagkakataon
Walang masayang na panahon
Mananatili ka sa puso ko kailanman
Para sa ‘yo ako’y lalaban
Ako’y lalaban

[repeat chorus]

Pangarap


Pangarap ko’y makarating sa buwan at
Lumipad hanggang doon sa kalawakan
Nais kong humabol sa pag-ikot ng mundo
Sumabay sa awit ko

Sasakay ako sa aking pangarap
Basta’t ang kasama ko’y ikaw
May liwanag
Sasakay ako sa aking pangarap
Pagkat ang laman ng puso ko’y ikaw
May liwanag

Sasakay ako sa aking pangarap
Basta’t ang kasama ko’y ikaw
May liwanag
Sasakay ako sa aking pangarap
Pagkat ang laman ng puso ko’y ikaw
May liwanag

March 11th, 2007 by j0yel-jcyann-j0anne

i really love this song galing. ganda ng melody..

Collide by Howie Day

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You’re barely waking
And I’m tangled up in you
Yeah


I’m open, you’re closed
Where I follow, you’ll go
I worry I won’t see your face
Light up again


Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide


I’m quiet you know
You make a frist impression
I’ve found I’m scared to know I’m always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide


You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
