Slab 27 - Stacking Up

2006-12-01T23:12:00.000+08:00

I'm facing a new month. Tasks are piling up again. The not-so-unfamiliar word deadline starts popping my ears again. You slackers our there, I envy you.

Nasaan ka Superman. Gawin mo lahat ng 'to for me. Please.

Slab 26 - Poetry sa Biology

2006-11-19T16:55:00.001+08:00

Matagal na nangyari to actually. Sa pagkakaalala ko, mga November 13 2006. hehe. Ayun, nag-seat in pa nga si Cai sa klase ko eh. Ang ganda ng Bio class ko. The ever-high schoolish Prof gave us an activity. Gumawa daw ng poem about Life. Ang pagkakarinig ko gumawa ng poem about Man. Wow, magkatunog... Life = Man.

So eto ang aking ginawa:

A man has eyes, ears and nose
Every single thing, he thinks he knows
He is the best creation of God
When he says yes, he nods

A man has basic needs
Clothing, shelter and food for he eats
He is one great creature
With lots of beautiful features

Ang husay ng pagkakahubog ng tula. Pwede nang magkampeon sa Poem Writing Competition, Kinder level. Mabuti na lang at nag-seat in si Cai. At mahusay siyang magsulat. Heto ang kanyang kontribusyon:

And from dust, came he
And from rib came she
Says the Bible

Whilst Darwin said
"Monkey is my ancestor!"
I will just leave him with it

Pwede na. Papasa na. Kitang-kita naman ang kaibahan ng aming kathain. Nangingibabaw ang kahusayan ko sa paglikha ng mga linyang maka-sining.

Gising na Louis.

Another day in Biology 1.

Slab 25 - Projects

2006-11-18T23:01:00.000+08:00

Swerte, pareho ang project topic ko for my CS 165 and CS 192. Student Space Group. Sa ngayon vague pa ang ideas. Sana hindi ako mabaliw. Tapos singit lang, yung CS 173 namin, sa Accenture, mag-aaral ng bagong language. COBOL. Katunog ng BOPOLS. Bopols kasi ako sa programming. Haha, nice try Louis. Ang corny. Olats ka. Parang yung sinulat ni Cai sa hand-outs mo nang paulit-ulit: OLATS KA OLATS KA. I'm depressed. Ayoko na.

Joke lang. Anyway, nalayo na naman ang usapan. Ang pinag-uusapan is yung Projects ko for this sem. Bakit ko ba dinidiktahan sarili ko? Gagawin ko ang gusto kong gawin sa bloig ko! Kahit lagyan ko pa ng title na "One Fine Day" yan OK lang. Tapos ilalagay ko sa post ko is about Outer Space. I'm free to do that. Just like now. Iba-iba na ang pinaglalagay ko. Baliw na ata ako.

Oh ayan, mga blogger friends ko, sa wakas at may links na ang bago kong blog. After 25 posts nagka-link na rin. Pero yung CBOX ko nawala. Nagbago kasi ako ng template. Isa itong project. Blog (trying hard to stick to the post title). At siyempre naman, kasama pati title ng blogs niyo. Sorry pero hindi ko pa nalalagay lahat. Maglalagay muna ako ng cBox siguro. Next year. Ewan. Katamad eh. Baka bukas lagyan ko na.

Projects. Ayan ha. Pinaninindigan ko pa rin yung title. Baka sabihin niyo wala nang koneksyon.

Projects.

Slab 24 - New Book

2006-11-11T23:06:00.000+08:00

May bago akong pinag-ngingilayang libro. Ang THE TEA PARTY. Horror novel siya. Grabeh nakakatakot. Sobrang na-unfold ko na yung events. Maya-maya magbabasa ulit ako, page 2 na kasi ako eh. Onti na lang page 3 na. Yes. Joke lang. Mga 20 plus na siguro ako.

May dictionary ako sa tabi ko, kasi maraming words na hindi ko alam ang ibig-sabihin. Tulad ng "shed", "waiting", at "wind". Tsaka yung word na "epal". May bago akong natutunang word, yung "rat" tsaka "umbrella".

Aye, parang ayoko na. Sawa na ako sa bago kong libro. Gusto ko ng bagong book ulit.

Matutulog na ako.

Slab 23 - Pers Dey

2006-11-10T08:57:00.000+08:00

Anu ba yan, feeling ko andami na namang gagawa ng post na pag-first day. Tapos for sure may gagawa ng post about this na ang title ay "First Day High".

Unang klase ko ay Psych 101. Akala ko nag-iisa lang ako sa klase. May mga kakilala rin pala ako. What a small earth. Bata pa yung teacher. Si Sir Mikaela. Joke. Sir Michael. Mabait naman ata siya. Dinismiss kami agad.

Next up, Bio 1. Pamatay ang Prof.
Ms. Bio1: (Matanda na, Doktor) Quiet.. Gusto niyo ba ng quiz?
Grabe natakot ako. Grabe talaga. Pang-high school ang approach. Heto pa.
Ms. Bio1: Kailangan niyo itong classcard because your grades will be put here. Tingnan niyo may mga grades na nakalagay.
Huwaaat!? Seryoso? Hindi ko alam yun ah. Almost 4 yrs na akong nasa-UP. Salamat po. Panibagong kaalaman sa unibersidad.

Wala kaming CS 196. Tambay na lang sa Department.

Slab 22 - Pack Up

2006-11-08T18:53:00.000+08:00

Kakatapos ko lang mag-enroll.

Actually hindi pa. Hindi pa ako bayad. Pero yun na lang ang kulang. Haha, nakakuha pa ako ng isang MST. Kung sinuswerte ka nga naman. First round pa lang ng enlistment kuha ko agad yung Bio 1. Isang taon na akong walang GE. Finally nakakuha rin.

Back to school na bukas. I'm not really that prepared but I am prepared and so do I. I was prepared eversince my preparation for classes.

Naintindihan ko yun. Wow.

Goodluck sa panibagong sem. Magbago ka na Louis Andrew. Gawin mo na lang 20 mins ang tulog mo sa klase. Wag na paabutin pa ng 30 mins. Abuso na yun. Mag-aral na rin ng mabuti. Gusto kong magkaroon ng UNO ulit. Ipagmamayabang ko na ito.. nakalasap na ako ng uno. Sa PE.

Pasukan na!

2006-10-26T21:21:00.000+08:00

Kung may ma-isusuggest kayo, mag-comment lang sa entry ko or mag-tag.

Give me some cool movies: Yung psychological ang attack. Yung astig ang plot, hindi predictable, mapapa-isip ka. Like Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind at Butterfly Effect. Parang ganun din ba yung Vanilla Sky?

Ayun. I'm gonna spend my vacation downloading movies, and other stuff. Sana mabusog ako.

Slab 20 - Fire-Start Your Engines

2006-10-23T23:50:00.000+08:00

A sequel to my last post. Tomorrow will mark the starting line. I hope I'll be able to pull off a good one.

Snap snap snap.

Basically I'm entering a rehab. I need to polish a lot of stuff. Clear out the grass.

I'm sick of the cleansing-the-spirit scheme.

Time to revamp the programme.

Slab 19 - Semestral Vreyk

2006-10-19T23:20:00.000+08:00

Siguro hindi lang ako ang may blog entry about sembreak. Maraming gagawa diyan. Hehe. Madami akong balak gawin ngayong sembreak. Pero bago ko ilista, ishashare ko lang ang amoy ng ipis na sinunog. Wag na lang. May nakita kasi kaming ipis sa pader ng bahay. Pinakuha ko sa kapatid ko yung malaking lighter. Yung parang baril. Tinutok ko sa ipis. Ang bango ng halimuyak ng tustadong ipis. Anyway, here is a list of things that I am planning to do this sem break:

. general cleaning ng room.. again?
. sana matuloy na ang driving lessons ko
. kumuha ng sponsors for Eng'g Week
. magkaroon ng isang Exte meet
. mamili ng damit at kung anu-ano sa divisoria with Cai
. mag-ayos ng buhay
. magpakatino
. maging mabuting nilalang
. maging makabayang Pilipino
. maglunsad ng livelihood projects sa baranggay tungo sa ikauunlad ng pamumuhay ng mga mamamayan
. matulog ng marami

Woohoo. Tapos na exams ko. Salamat. Pahinga. Kaso may MP pa sa 180. Trabaho pa rin.
I shall update my list next time. THE END.

Slab 18 - Day before the Finals

2006-10-16T07:36:00.000+08:00

Bukas na ang CS 131 finals ko. At mataas ang target grade ko. Mataas. Sana maabot ko. Ayoko nang umulit ng subject. Heto na naman ako: "A matter of passing or failing situation." Nakasalalay na naman sa isang exam. Goodluck to me.

May Exemeet kami mamaya. Teka, aralin ko na muna yung Eng'g Week events namin.

Good morning.

Slab 17 - R Struggles

2006-10-15T11:13:00.000+08:00

October 13 2006
Hindi ko ineexpect na malaking oras ang kukunin sa akin ng R-Language na yan. MP namin sa Stat 130. Sumama ako kila Cai at Melai na mag-overnight sa bahay nila Chris Agupitan sa may Batasan. Biglaang desisyon. Kaya wala akong dala-dalang damit or kahit anung pang-overnight.

Dumating kami kila Chris ng mga 4:30 ata. Trabaho agad. To cut the story short, umabot kami ng 3am. Pero hindi pa natapos.

UFC highlights: Superstar level na pala si Orlovsky. At si Tito, no match pala kay Chuck Lidell. Daming match highlights. Return of Royce Gracie, kaso talo. Idol pa rin.

Anyway, 8am na kami nagising. Todo ngarag. 12pm ang deadline. Gawa, revise, edit.
1:30 na kami nakapag-pass. Buti tinanggap ni Sir.

Kapagod. 4 exams pa Louis. Wag ka munang sumuko.

Slab 16 - Lost My Wallet

2006-10-12T13:02:00.000+08:00

October 9 2006
Sumakay ako ng jeep sa may Katipunan. Bumaba ako sa Anonas, tapos feeling ko hindi ko naisauli yung wallet ko sa bag. Ang feeling ay naging fact. Shomai naman oh. Official na. Nawalan ako ng wallet. (Madalas kasi akong nag-aakalang nawawalan ng wallet, pero hindi pala) Naka-ilang beses rin akong nagkalkal ng bag. May isang jeep pa akong sinakyan. Sorry na lang sa driver, nag 1-2-3 ako. Ala nang pambayad eh.

Mga laman ng wallet ko:
. pera (wag nang banggitin ang amount)
. picture ni Cai
. ATM card ko
. UP ID (anak ng.. hindi ako makapasok ng libe!)
. Cursor directory

Yan yung natatandaan ko. Sana wala nang iba. Buti na lang yung mga mahahalagang resibo ko tinanggal ko dun.

PS: Heto pa eh.. actually, muntik ko nang makalimutan yung wallet ko nung umaga bago umalis ng bahay. Pero naalala ko at binalikan ko sa kwarto. Malas.

Slab 15 - Panic at the Disco

2006-10-11T01:21:00.000+08:00

Sarap makinig ng music ng Panic at the Disco.

Astig din yung lyrics ng songs. Napapasnap-snap-snap ako. Niongk.

Top 3 Songs:
1. I Write Sins Not Tragedies
2. The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage
3. But It's Better if You Do

Nag-aaral ako ng CS 131. Nag-break lang ako sandali. Maya-maya magsasagot na ako ng problem set.

Slab 14 - Face Recognition

2006-10-07T10:43:00.000+08:00

Thank goodness our CS 180 MP deadline was moved to October 18.
Here are some things that tickled my neurons:

. installation of Fedora Operating System in the SA Computer at the CS Dept. (naka-sampung tries na si Renz. Ayaw pa rin mainstall. Sayang ang 20php/hr rates sa NEC.)
. facetrain.c won't execute
. I haven't read the entire specifications
. my specs hard copy kills me (Ang liit ng sulat. My fault)

In fairness, cute ang fedora interface, and logo. Cool.

But I'll stick with Windows.

Slab 13 - Safeway

2006-10-05T15:27:00.000+08:00

Nagpunta kami ni Conchan sa Safeway Philtech Makati para makipag-meet sa HR Officer ng kumpanya. Naghahanap kasi kami ng sponsor for Cursor. Pagdating namin sa RCBC Plaza, nagkamali pa kami ng sinakyang elevator. Wala pa pala kami sa Yuchengco Tower. Pagbalik namin sa baba dumiretso na kami sa Yuchengco pero nagkamali na naman kami ng nasakyang elevator. Hindi kasi nagbabasa. Umabot kami sa 35th floor. Tapos balik sa Ground floor dire-diretso. Sakit sa ears. Parang puputok.. (hah? ano? hindi kita marinig, lakasan mo..) Pagdating namin sa office ng Safeway ay 3:45pm na. 3:00pm ang usapan. Three-zero-zero. Hindi Three-four-five. Iba na yun. Mali na. Hindi na on time. Kaya umuwi na lang kami kasi pinalayas na kami dun dahil bawal daw ang late. Pero joke lang yun, actually naghintay kami. kasi may ka-meeting si Ma'am Kaye (yung HR Officer) ng 4:00. Taga La Salle. Hmm.. naghahanap din ata ng sponsor. Agawan ba daw ba kami. Marami na kayong pera. Parents niyo pa lang sponsors na. Joke lang. Ayun, so 5:45 na kami nakapag-start ng meeting. Maayos naman ang napag-usapan. Hopefully money in the bank na para sa Cursor.

Cut.

Slab 12 - No Classes No Electricity

2006-09-29T22:22:00.000+08:00

Ang hirap i-figure out kung anung nangyari sa araw na ito kung titingnan mo lang yung title.

September 28 2006, Thursday. No classes. Akala ko magiging work day ko ito. Pero habang nag-aalmusal pa lang ako, ayun, nawalan na ng kuryente. Kahit papaano naging productive pa rin naman ako for a couple of hours.

. I fixed and rearranged my closet. Malamang mga damit ang inayos ko dito.
. Nag-set up ng sound system sa kwarto. Actually Papa ko ang gumawa nito.
. Nag-gupit ng kuko.
. Nagsindi ng insenso sa kwarto.

Ayun lang. Dahil sa lakas ng hangin, lumusot ang ulan sa bintana ng kwarto ko. Kaya naman todo piga ako ng mga basahan. Nakatulog ako buong hapon, tapos nakatulog din sa gabi. Nakakapagod magpahinga. Nakakabingi ang AM Radio na buong araw kong kapiling.

11:00pm na nagkaroon ng kuryente, pero tinatamad na akong bumangon. ZZZ.

Slab 11 - Catching Up

2006-09-18T01:09:00.000+08:00

Nawalan ako ng time sa pag-maintain ng daily journal ko. Tidbits na lang ibibigay ko:

September 13 2006 - Nagpunta kami sa HP office sa Ortigas Center para mag-present ng project namin sa CS 173. Matagal kaming naghintay sa may lounge/dinning area. Mga tanghali na kami nakapag-report. Ok lang, nakaransak naman ako ng maraming kape at chocolate.

September 14 2006 - Hindi ko na maalala. Basta Thursday ito, tapos maaga ata kaming umuwi ni Cai. Umuwi muna ako tapos nagchurch ng 6:45pm. Oh well, nag-aral ng 131 sa gabi. Pero nakatulog lang din ako.

September 15 2006 - Exam day. Nangarag sa problem set. Hindi ako prepared. Walang alam. Knowledge rush. Gabi na nakauwi.

Slab 10 - Preparations

2006-09-13T01:01:00.000+08:00

Today was full of preparations. Tomorrow is the start of the Youth for IT Congress or Y4it. I negotiated with Pizza Hut, Safeway and APCEI. I hope we'll be able to get Safeway as our Annual Sponsor. I thought APCEI was ready to go (Exdeal - sponsorship in kind. In their case, magazines) but Ms. Mae told me that the representative from Wallstreet Journal is still studying the situation. We, the CS Department Student Assistants, went to Bahay ng Alumni to help Ms. Chris and Ms. Riza in setting up the DCS Booth.

Tomorrow we will be having our presentation in CS 173 Project Management. I hope we'll be able to pull off a successful one.

I wasn't able to attend my CS 131 class because I went to PNB to apply for an ATM account. I waited for almost an hour for the card processing to finish.

CURSOR applicants are preparing for the final submission of their sig sheets.

We had our Org General Meeting today. Many issues were put up.

Best preparation done for the day: Prepare myself for the grueling night of MP-making.

The past three weeks have been so hectic and tiring. My health meter is sinking down to the lowest level. I must... survive.

Slab 9 - The Meeting the Pizza and the Late

2006-09-12T11:35:00.000+08:00

I was falling asleep during our Stat 130 class. We presented our group reports in CS 180 (Artificial Intelligence). Our group tackled Supervised Learning. Everybody laughed out when Joebet showed his winning dance moves.

After class, Cai and I went to Quezon Hall to pick up our DTR's. We headed straight to NEC Budget office after. The guy (some good old clerk) told us that we can claim our money by tomorrow if we apply for an ATM account immediately. So we went back to pick up some needed stuff and went to PNB. The heck, it was already 4pm. The bank closes at 3.

We had an executive committee meeting today. We discussed some important issues and tasks to do. Cai went to ITTC to attend the Y4it Volunteers Meeting.

Wah! Pinaiyak ko si Aleth. Sorry na.

It was already 9pm when all of us (I mean all of us at the tambayan) decided to leave. We had a walk from Eng'g to Vinzons. Ang dami namin. Ang dami pang kalokohang pinaggagawa. Manlilibre si Lew sa Yellow Cab Katips, dahil birthday niya.

May dumaan na Katipunan jeep na walang laman. Nagsisakayan na sila. Hindi kami sumama ni Cai dahil sasamahan namin si Aleth na sumakay ng SM jeep. Kaso mukhang nilamon na ng lupa ang mga SM North na jeep. So matapos ang ilang minutong pag-iisip at pagdidiscuss, pinasama na lang namin si Aleth sa Katipunan jeep. Hindi namin siya maiwan, delikado sa daan.

Naisipan naming humabol sa Yellow Cab dahil gutom na talaga kami. Naka-2 slices ako, si Cai TATLO. busog. Dighay.

Nagpaalam na kaming tatlo sa mga CURSOR people. Salamat Lew sa nakakabusog na treat. Nilakad namin hanggang sakayan ng jeep. Hindi kami makapag-decide kung saan tutuloy si Aleth. Magoovernight na ba siya kila Cai or ihahatid ko sa SM North? Tinawagan niya ang mom niya. Mukhang hindi naman galit kaya tumuloy na lang siya kila Cai.

Pag-uwi sa bahay, knock-out si Louis.

Slab 8 - CS 173 vs. Signal

2006-09-11T08:05:00.000+08:00

Sinundo ni Chinkee si Cai sa bahay nila. Nagpapatulong kasi si Chinkee sa MP niya sa CS21. At nagpapanic na siya.

Nagchurch ako ng hapon. Tapos dumiretso sa barber shop para magpagupit ng buhok. Sinugatan ako ng manong barbero, sa may part ng patilya. Buti hindi ko siya inupakan.

May overnight kami. Para sa CS 173.

Nagkita kami nina Rap and Nhiza sa may Mcdo Philcoa. Nagtaxi papunta sa bahay nila Celene. Diretso trabaho na. Mahina ang signal sa bahay nila Celene. Parang sa bahay ni Chris, na taga-Fairview-Commonwealth area din.

Gabi na umuwi si Cai. Hinatid naman siya ulit pauwi.

I just discovered Microsoft Expression Web Builder from Rap. Free download lang. Nakakatamad mag-code sa notepad. Kaya idodownload ko na rin siya. Or kung may dreamweaver kayo jan, pahiram naman.

Monday na. Start na ng CS 131 crusade (kuno).

Oh my nagtetext pala si Cai. Nagdagsaan ang messages niya.

Slab 7 - Room Raid

2006-09-11T04:30:00.000+08:00

List of things that I did to my room:
. posted my high school grad pic
. changed the mats
. changed the study table
. fixed some papers
. put labels on envelopes
. placed my stuff in my new table's drawer
. vacuumed a little

Proud ako sa mga nagawa ko. Imbes na ginagawa ko ang MP ko, nagawa ko pang linisin ang aking kwarto. Actually hindi pa siya ganung kalinis. Medyo minadali ko kasi.

Slab 6 - Quantum Buddies

2006-09-10T09:34:00.000+08:00

Batista is here in the Philippines. I wasn't able to see him in Eat Bulaga. I saw a news clip of his arrival in Youtube. But something else caught my attention, Michael Fajatin was the segment reporter.

I went to SM North to fetch Cai. We met inside National Bookstore. She told me about her new wish books.
. To Kill A Mockingbird
. Seagull
. Wuthering Heights

I don't know if I spelled those correctly.

We checked out the "mold-painting-booth" at the topmost floor. We went to Quantum, bought five tokens and shot some hoops. My arms got really cranked up after one round. Then we ate at Burger King. A woman with a note "Tulong para sa mga kapatid na may hika" came to us. Oh really. Ako rin may hika ako. yung tulong na ibibigay ko sa'yo sa akin na lang. I gave back the note and the woman stormed away. She went to the next table.

Burp. Busog. We went back to Quantum to play again. The basketball area was so crowded.

Isa na namang highlight: nakalimutan ng isang lalaki yung mga napanalunan niyang tickets. Hindi niya hinugot. Kinuha nung isang estudyanteng babae. (Actually grupo sila. Taga St. Mary's Academy ata) Mukhang siya na ang magbubulsa. Pero binalikan siya ng lalaki para bawiin ang mga tickets. Biglang hirit si Cai, "may balak pang kunin yung tickets..." Sapat ang lakas ng kanyang dialogue para marinig ng babaeng nakakuha ng tickets. Hoy Cai! Parang hindi mo katabi yung babae ah. Hala, nagsi-alisan na ang mga asar talo. Tuloy ang laro. Nakaubos na naman kami ng 5 tokens.

Bumalik kami sa National para bumili ng mga materials para sa corkboard kuno-slash-postboard. Pagkatapos ay umuwi na kami. Nagpalitan pa kami ng pins sa Katipunan jeep. Kasi iba yung design ng pins namin. Stars yung kay Cai, parang gulong naman yung akin.

May children's party sa tapat ng bahay namin.

Slab 5 - Morning Breakout

2006-09-10T01:30:00.000+08:00

Mr. Cough is still whoopin' my ass. I ate lechong paksiw for breakfast. Puro taba. Uglk. Nagpunta ng San Mateo sila Mama, Papa at Mabel. Nasa harap ako ngayon ng PC (malamang). Tinutulungan ko si Cai sa kanilang MP sa 140. Naka-YM kami. Sawa na ako sa songs ko sa Media Player. Hanap na ng bago. Pero "teka, MP muna asikasuhin mo dude". Sige, magtatrabaho na muna ako.

Mga napakinggang kanta mula pagkagising:
. trip by 6cyclemind
. first of summer by urbandub
. batang bata ka pa by sugarfree
. yakap sa dilim by orange and lemons
. kabilugan ng buwan by drip
. talk shows on mute by incubus

Slab 4 - A Mess with the MP

2006-09-08T20:15:00.000+08:00

It's sinking in. I am so doomed. I have had zero progress in our MP in CS 131. It makes me sick. Double sick. I haven't read the notes yet. And right now I'm still busy pressing keys for my blog. Help me please.

4:30 am.
I decided to focus on my notes. I made a hot cup of chocolate drink and settled on the sofa. I activated the virus scanner on my desktop. A few minutes after whirling my eyes on the figures on my notes, I went to dreamland. I dropped my notes and set the alarm to 5:00. And now, I am back, pressing the keys again. I'll just snack on these notes at the kitchen table.

My dad gave me a ride to UP and I saw Cai waiting for me at the Eng'g steps. CS 131 was still as boring as hell (with all due respect to Sir Quiwa) and I was caught sleeping again in our CS 133 class. My reluctant coughs echoed in the lab so I went out to pull out hard ones. Crispy ones.

I was so happy about my Stat 130 exam. I passed! 47/60, 79%. Not bad. I hope I can do better in the next exam. And I promise I'll put every single formula in my cheat sheet. (I lost 9 points because I missed to write one formula in my cheat sheet) I thank God for this.

3:40 pm.
I called Link2Support (target sponsor for CURSOR). The marketing guy with the feminine voice was out and the attendant told me to call back on Monday. I hope the company decides to grant us sponsorship.

I haven't started my MP yet. I feel so weak, I need to rest. And I need to study my notes first.

Nagpatulong nga pala sa akin si Fabs sa kanyang write-up sa yearbook. Ginawan ko siya ng tagalog na puro kalokohan. Sabi niya gawan ko raw siya ng English. Edi bumira ako ng seryosong English. Naiyak daw siya sa isinulat ko. Kita ko yung butil ng luha niya habang gumagapang pababa sa kanyang pisngi.

It was a long day in the tambayan, last day of the Missions Week. Every applicant is busy. Some have brought with them their costumes.

Cleaners for the week: External Affairs Committee
Darn it. The tambayan is a mess. just like my MP. Already a mess even though I haven't started it yet. I've got to finish it and pass it on Monday. I must. CS 131 crusade. Must work...(in a weak and shaky voice)

The rain poured down big time. We were just ready to go home. We had no choice but to face the wrath of the pouring H2O. I was with Cai, Malen, Melai, Patrick (App) and Nhiza. Cai and Malen will have a sleepover session at Melai's place. I was about to go home. When we reached the waiting shed near Molave, Nhiza took off in a UP IKOT jeepney. The rest of us waited for a taxi cab but we were not lucky enough to find one. Aleth joined us and we rode an SM North jeepney. I was about get off the ride but the rain kept pouring really hard. So I decided to just grab a taxi cab in SM.

Oh well, I played basketball with them in Quantum. We got 200+ tix and we all had fun. I have a new basketball key chain.

After playing, we headed downstairs to munch on some hotdog waffles.

Nagpaalam na kami ni Patrick sa mga kasama naming girls. Wala kaming masakyang taxi kaya naman nag Quiapo jeep na lang kami. Ininterbyu ko siya tungkol sa kanyang lablayp. Tinuruan ko rin siya kung papaano umuwi sa kanila na gamit ang ruta patungong Anonas. Pag-uwi ko sa bahay ay pinaulanan ako ng sermon ng aking butihing ina. Lumamon ng kaunting menudo sa hapunan at dumiretso sa PC upang tapusin ang blog entry na itetch. Ilang beses din akong nakatulog sa harap ng PC. Wala pa akong MP. Olats talaga. Puro ako salita. Gawa ka naman jan boy. Parang wala kang paki na deadline na ng MP mo ngayon.

What a mess.

Slab 3 - Still Sick but Happee

2006-09-08T14:04:00.000+08:00

September 7 2006. Coughs galore. I've had half a dozen doses of Solmux in my system. Still, I haven't seen any major improvements in my body. My nose is still clogged, my throat still feels awkward and minor breething difficulties continue to haunt my tired and restless body.

I had a fight with Cai. We had text wars in the morning. It sucks. I really wanted to go to UP but my muscles kept pulling me onto my bed. I cried a bit, ok fine, a lot. And this fired up my breathing nightmares. She got really mad at me. I even gave her a text message that seems like a death threat to myself. Stupid me. She forwarded it to my mom and my dad went up to see me. I was lying on my bed, watery eyes, breathing really hard, coughing, wearing my grey jeans with no tops.

My parents decided to bring me to the hospital to see our family pediatrician. Grabe, ang dami kong iinuming gamot. Holy mahogany. Worth 2000 yung iinumin kong gamot just for 2 days. And may threats of pneumonia pa raw ang condition ko kapag hindi pa agad naagapan.

I was glad to see Cai in the hospital. She went there to check me out. Very well appreciated. But we are still not in good terms though. We went home immediately and I headed straight upstairs. (Cai and I had brief arguments inside the car) I cried again. Sheezknits. Anu daw? Expression ba yun? Pauso ka Louis. My dad, for the second time became our guest referee. Good thing we were able to settle our issues right away. We ate lunch and headed straight to UP.

When Cai told me that her class is done, we're outta here! We headed to Katipunan and rode a jeepney to Cubao. Kakain kami sa Nena's. Haha.

Merienda All You Can. Actually hindi basta-basta merienda. Heavy to pre.

Inupakan namin agad yung tokwa at lumpiang sariwa. Simula na ng giyera! We raided the place for almost an hour and a half. I kept teasing Cai that she's getting fat. And she kept teasing me that I am already busog. Tae conyo ata dating nun. Nakailang balikan ako sa tokwa at baboy. Tapos kumuha ako ng "ga-bundok" na pancit palabok. Sobrang nabusog kami.

The highlight of the afternoon: For the first time, nag-iwan kami ng tip kay Kuya Waiter. In fairness solid waiter siya dun. Siya lang yung consistent naming nakikita sa tuwing kumakain kami sa Nena's.

It was already passed 5pm when we decided to get out of the place. My stomach was so full and it took me a hard time to walk. The rain was pouring down massive amounts of H20. We got inside Mercury Drug and bought a Goya chocolate, Milo choco bar and a nose pack.

The next thing that happened: We got stranded. Argh! Sinugod namin ang malabagyong ulan. Grabe ang lakas Pre! Nag-comedy show pa yung payong na dala namin. Malayo-layo rin yung nilakad namin. Pero nadatnan lang namin ang mga nagkukumpulang pasahero sa may Gateway. Pahirapan sa pag-commute.

Finally, after almost 2 hours of outer and "inner" struggles (which caused us a pagsamba), nakauwi rin kami. Sumakay kami ng LRT at bumaba ng Anonas. Pinasakay ko ng jeep si Cai papuntang Robinsons. Dun na lang siya sasakay ng FX pauwi. Direcho na ako sa bahay.

By the way, it's our 20th month.

Slab 2 - Long Arte Day

2006-09-07T13:03:00.000+08:00

I woke up at 6am. I continued working on my CS 133 Problem Set. It took me 2 hours to answer a couple of problems. My mind kept floating in the air. I finished at 8.

I had my breakfast and started working on the web design for our CS 173 project. I made a couple of pages. But when Mabel tuned on the television, I lost my focus. I had my eyes on the fairygodmother thingy movie.

I went to Philcoa at 11am and I parked my butt in Mcdo. Joyce won't be able to come so she told me I have to meet her mom at 11am in Mcdo to get her problem set. I bought a value meal because my stomach started to work its way out of my system. Mari started texting me becuase there were problems in the Arte event. I don't know what to do. I can't reach Cai and Melai because their cell phones are turned off due to energy shortage. Wah! Anu daw? Joyce's mom came at 11:30. I took the problem set and she took off. Naks dalawang took.

I went straight to UP and saw Mari break down in front of me. I don't know what to do. So I presented my self to be part of the logistics but Mari won't allow me because I'm having asthma attacks. I just did the soft works inside the department.

Asar walang signal ang Globe. Kung kailan naman kailangang kailangan. Bad trip naman.

We had our demo for our CS 180 MP. I had a hard time pulling off Renz from the Admin. Maam Chris won't allow us to start the demonstration if our group isn't complete. Good thing we were able to catch up in the demo.

Finally I saw Cai at the corridor. There have been a lot of misunderstandings and disagreements within the Arte team. But despite that, we continued to work it out.

The first speaker for the event got disappointed about the vanue of the talk. Actually that wasn't the original location but due to a particular engineering class that popped inside the "supposed to be room", (which is room 316, that has blinds on it's windows). We transferred to room 416. The room is so bright becuase there are no blinds or curtains on the windows. The projector had bad outputs on the wall.

I saw my sister inside the venue with her laptop. She'll be the next speaker.

We had an emergency meeting with Mr. Festin at the MH 215. We just had a forum about the STD. Nilangaw kasi yung Student Teacher's Dialogue sa Eng'g Theater. After the meeting I went straight up to the talk and watched my sister discuss her thing. The talked ended at about 6:30pm. I thought everything was over but NO! Certificates had to be rushed at the deparment for printing. Good thing Cai's bit, Boji, was there to help.

We went home at about 8. Cai had a jeepney ride with Leo and an applicant named toothpick. I told Cai to go to the "pila". After that I went straight home and thnigs got a lot more screwed..Cough cough.

Slab 1 - One Sick and Hot Day

2006-09-06T06:06:00.000+08:00

It's a hot tuesday today. Maaga akong umuwi. May sipon ako. May minor asthma. May nagbabadyang sore throat. To sum up, I'm not feeling well. Kaya naman kay aga kong umuwi. Hindi ito ang normal uwi ko. Nasa bahaya ako ng 2:00pm. Congrats.

I decided to create a new blog. A daily journal. Sana wala akong ma-miss na araw. Nasa UP pa si Cai. Mag-oover night sila kila Chris for their MP sa CS 140.

I had paksiw na bangus for lunch with matching bagoong. So bale busog ako habang sinusulat ko ito. Kaya rin ako umuwi nang maaga para maasikaso ko na yung problem set ko sa CS 133. At mag-aaral ako sa CS 131. As in wala pa talaga akong alam. The deadline for our second MP is on September 8, Friday. 3 days na lang. Wala pa akong alam. Wala.

Dahil sa pag-uwi ko nang maaga, hindi ako nakasama sa contract signing sa Pizza Hut Bistro sa Gateway. At hindi ako makaka-attend ng exemeet. Sobrang dami naming problema. Ang olats na ng tingin sa amin ng mga tao.

Nakuha ko na nga pala yung Cursor shirt ko kanina. Ang plain ng design. Sana nag-pass ako ng shirt design entry. Mas makakagawa pa siguro ako ng astig na disenyo.
