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.

When I met her, I said, "I WANT TO MARRY THIS GIRL".. but..

It was the Membership Week of the Political Science Society when I first saw this girl. She's a first year student of PS. I don't believe at love at first sight before, but when I saw her, I am completely fell for her.

I met her again when we had the General Assembly of PSS. I might say I was shy back then. I wasn't able to talk to her (only when she asked if she can leave earlier). I was too shy to even ask for her name.

I saw her again during the Mr. and Ms. CAS, I was formally introduced to her by her friend. Her name is Raffell. she's very simple and tall that's why I like her.

It was the Baranggay and SK Elections when I texted with her for almost the whole night. I learned so many things about her, and she learned my secrets too. Starting that day, we texted each other everyday.

Nov 2, 2010. One of the most unforgettable days of my life. I admitted to her that I LOVE HER because i really do love her. That's the truth. I fell in love to a first year student. She's 16, I'm 20. 4 year- difference. I am ashamed on what I have said. But she's the one who got shy. That's really funny.

Dec 2, 2010. I made a very special video for her. I posted it on YouTube. That was the first time I made a video for a very special person in my life. I can say that that was an e-love letter. :)

We had so many happy moments. But we also have sad moments. We even have misunderstandings. I always get jealous. Always mad when she did not text me. Maybe that's my fault.

Because of those memories, I have said to myself "I WANT TO MARRY THIS GIRL" but sad to say I found out that she has a boyfriend right now. It really broke my heart. It ruined my dreams.

I promised not to change because she likes my personality but i have to. I need to change. I have many things to change. I need to give her and her boyfriend space. I do not want to ruin their relationship.

Today, I deleted her number and changed my number. I want to make myself happy. I want to move on and I think that's one of the things that I can do to move on.

She's asking me if I am mad but I did not tell the truth. I always say I AM NOT but deep inside I AM. I REALLY AM MAD but not to her, but to myself. I AM MAD AT MYSELF. :(
