May 18, 2015. The day of the Brigada Eskuela. That day is a grim reminder to many, if not all students around the Philippines.
Malapit na ang pasukan.
Of course, its not all long faces for us. For some, classes would mean that they could finally do something other than sitting in the front of their computer all day. At the day of the Brigada, old squads will reunite once again. There are sure to be squads that will go straight to Market Market to bond again. Mortal enemies will see each other again. And of course, some are particularly ecstatic for the Brigada and the classes, because after an eternity of waiting, they'll finally see their crush in person (Yieee!).
How about you? Are you excited for the classes to begin? Or are you groaning in despair? (GS)

REJECTED!
Rejection, for me, is one of the worst feelings you could ever experience in your life. I'm not just talking about rejection in the field of love, because there are many forms of rejection. You could be rejected by your friends, or even your family.
Who isn't scared of being rejected? I believe most guys (like me) are afraid to make a move is because they are afraid that the girl would not like them back. Many people do not do something they badly want to do, because they think that the people around him will dislike him/her for that. Every one of us is consumed by the fear of not living up to expectations, of being disliked by the people around him.
Consider me as one of those people who think that way. My mind seems to be hardwired to think of what I think other people think about me. I worry about how other people think of me. That's why whenever I get seenzoned by my friends, it seriously hurts me. Why? Because I think that I've become so irritating, they just decided to ignore me, to reject me.
I'm not the only one, am I? (GS)

Mayweather: Master Tactician or a Cowering Champion?
Anyone who watched the so-called "Fight of the Century" must be disappointed with what transpired. Instead of two future boxing legends slugging it out in a battle for greatness, we saw a champion desperately trying to elude the other boxer, who we later learned wasn't fighting at his best, by hugging and running, in a perceived act of cowardice.
Or was it?
After all, whether you're on his side or against him, Floyd Mayweather will go down as one of the greatest defensive tacticians in boxing history, however you dislike his strategy. Granted, most of his matches were fairly easy in comparison to Pacquiao (the names that Money faced that Pacquiao also met in the ring were all past their boxing primes), but coming into the fight, you knew that he had a game plan coming into the match, "Don't let Pacman gain traction, or build momentum".
Sure, it was an eyesore for boxing fans, but any boxing expert saw that it wasn't an act of cowardice. He kept Pacquiao at bay with the jab (owing to his long reach), and he masterfully eluded the latter's attacks whenever he caught fire.
I'm no fan of Mayweather, in or out the ring. In fact, consider me one of the many haters of Mayweather. However, one can't deny that Money edged out Pacman, and for him and his fans, that's more than enough. (GS)
