MANILA, Philippines - Taking its cue from the Department of Education, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) announced Sunday night the suspension of classes in 13 areas hit hard by typhoon "Frank."

National Disaster Coordinating Council spokesman Anthony Golez Jr. said the CHED suspended college classes in the same areas where elementary and high school classes will be suspended.

"Doon sa binanggit na probinsya ng DepEd wala na ring pasok sila. ...Gusto niya bigyan ng pagkakataon ayusin ang kalagayan at kabuhayan bago sila pumasok (Classes in college will be suspended at the same areas as elementary and high school. Neri wants college students to put their homes in order before they return to class)," Golez said on dzBB radio.

The DepEd earlier announced the suspension of classes at the elementary and high school levels in Metro Manila, Cavite, Rizal, Batangas, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, La Union, Benguet and Ilocos Norte. - GMANews.TV

Even though such announcement has been made, us UP Manila students, still need to wait for the official announcement from our Chancellor.

Waaaahhhh!!!

Come on Sir Chancellor, we are waiting! The children are dying to know whether they will have a free swimming party with the gallows of Taft's mirky flood water tomorrow! Haha!

I hope that I will not regret my decision of not doing that ECG thing, later!

Hahaha!

 

I have become extremely lazy for the past few days! It is not that I am not a lazy being in the past, but I feel that I had become more of a sloth!

As you know, I am the best sloth in bed.

In such light, I believe I have become a better(?) sloth. I have become better in the art of pigging out with food and hogging up the bed for sleep. It is as if it is the only thing I was born to do so.

With this new incremental increase upon my great ability to harness the power of the gods of food and sleep, I think no one can beat me on these departments anymore. It is just so bad that the god of fats always bother me with his offerings I don't even desire for. This omnipotent being has come to love me so much that he has decided to be with me for as long as I let him be!

Yesterday was the break of our christmas break. Meaning, we had our first class for this year. Yey! *Kunwari pa! As if excited pumasok!*

Anyway, I saw my batchmates again and only a few people changed in term of horizontal dimension is concerned. As you know, it was the holiday season and food was pretty much abundant. In my opinion, this past holiday season, the people had been pretty mindful of the food they were munching on except for myself! People were able to maintain the fat content of their bodies in their normal values. Haha!

Our group for N181 was lucky enough to be the first reporters for the year. The report went about just ok. Except the part were our Professor kept on asking about the other topics that we were not able to discuss.

So much for a short report, I guess.

I am happy that the game I proposed and thought of was able to relate well on the context of our report. I am also glad that my classmate for such class enjoyed it! Yey!

Well to clarify the first statement of the second section of this post, "Yesterday was the break of our christmas break;" Yesterday's class was the only school day we have for this week. Meaning, we still have three more glorious days of vacation in our sleeves before we start slaving ourselves with the hospital and community duties on Monday.

The break of our Christmas break is over so it is time to continue the sloth life for the rest of the week! Yey!!!!
