So Close...

have you heard of the song "So Close" of Jon Mclaughlin?

the first time i heard that song is when i watched the movie Enchanted.

I already loved it because of the message of the song and it really hit me.

This is really ME! :)

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

My CAS General Assemby Speech delivered last August 2010

Good afternoon everyone.

“Salus Populi Est Suprema Lex”. This a Latin Maxim quoted by Cicero which means “The Welfare of the People is the Supreme Law”. The Political Science Society has lived by this principle. A principle that speaks to us that in every action that we must take, the people must be at the center.

The Political Science Society continues to do projects that will mold individuals to be productive and morally-upright citizens of the society. Last year, it was a great year for our organization.

We prepared UE Students for the May 2010 Elections. Our organization conducted three Voters’ Education Programs and Seminar which involves UE employees and Students. We posted the list of candidates and their credentials for the UE Community to assess the candidates.

September 26, 2009 was an unforgettable moment to all when Typhoon Ondoy hit Metro Manila. PSS students, despite all the hardships, volunteered to help the citizens of Marikina in a relief operation program with Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina.

PSS developed student leaders. Students of Political Science became candidates of the Student Council Elections. They ran under Kaisa Ka Party Coalition, Kapit-Bisig Party Alliance or the newly founded Isang Tugon Students’ Party.

We valued so much our society by developing and learning the true value of FAMILY, of a strong TEAM. We had PSS Christmas Party, PSS Sportsfest, and others.

I am proud to say to everyone that because of these simple projects, we have achieved the highest recognition from the University of the East which is the Most Outstanding Student Organization, UE-Manila last February 26, 2010.

And for this Academic Year, we promise to continue our commitment to develop great leaders and morally-upright citizens.

I am Ryan Martin Macalatan, President and the Tribe Leader of the Political Science Society. We give our ARMS to CASSANDRA. Like the Political Science Society, we want CASSANDRA to mold and develop all of us to be good citizens and great leaders for us to have a brighter future. She will protect us from the difficulties of life. And she will embrace us as a sign of love and care.

Again, good afternoon to all.

I AM A BAMBOO : A poem written for my LIT 202 class

I AM A BAMBOO

By: Ryan Martin T. Macalatan

I am like a bamboo

I sway here, I sway there,

And when the wind blows hard,

I always move just to be with you.

In the shining sun,

I always knew what’s true.

I always grow as high as mountains

And that’s only to for me to protect you.

When triumphs walk into my life,

I stand strong like a true bamboo.

I can conquer the world for you,

Because I know that you’re like a bamboo too.
