the awesome downfalls and could-have-beens

Still contemplating and thinking real hard and thoroughly if I should give "it" to him or not. I mean, come on, what if I did and we become classmates again after sometime? It will be very, very AWKWARD. I cannot handle such awkwardness, not to mention how hard it'll be hard to concentrate in class with such awkwardness in the air. I'm not gonna ask anything in return, I just wanna give "it" to him. Argh. What to do, what to do? Should I or should I not?:|

2011-08-16T08:50:00.000-07:00

It's starting to really fucking sink in. Computer Science is NOT really for me. My brain cannot handle the required capabilities of being a programmer. It's times like this that makes me want to just stop whatever the hell I'm 'programming' and quit already. Too bad I'm too proud and won't bow down and accept defeat. I consider it as something unfortunate because I think not accepting defeat is a sign of cowardice. You can't accept your boundaries and limitations. As much as possible I really, really, as in badly still want to try. I don't know if I'm just too lazy to study and practice programming or if I have really become dumb and stupid. I don't know.

It sounds good, yes, hearing and seeing people's reactions whenever I tell them that I am a Computer Science student from UPLB, but what they didn't know is how much I suck as one. I am a big sucker for programming. Probably the dumbest and most stupid one. Please, people, when I tell you what course I'm taking and where I'm studying, don't have high expectations right away, because I hate disappointing people. If it feels bad to get disappointed, it feels worse for me if I'm the who caused the disappointment.

Have you ever heard of the movie called "It's Kind of A Funny Story"? Well, I totally relate to the main character. And this really got me:

I'm the type of person who will never tell anybody about his/her problems because I think people wouldn't care and will just think that it's no big deal and there are a whole lot of other stuff worth worrying about. Pathetic, eh? I know. But that's me. Ironically, though, I'm posting some of my problems here. Anyway, when that happens--when I'm on verge of blowing up--I would just go the bathroom and cry silently and talk to God. Pretty odd place for talking to God, eh? I don't have a choice. I don't want my family to see or hear me crying. It will be weird for them because they never saw me as someone who cries because she's got problems. They think that I'm someone who just laughs it off. There are some days when I just felt like shouting and break porcelains just to let go of this fucking heavy feeling, but that, too, is something I cannot do. I can't think of a place where I can do it! HAHAHAHA

So to end this post, I wanna tell you, guys, to never do what I'm doing. If you have problems, tell someone about it because you won't believe how much it can make you feel better. You have no idea how bad it feels if you just keep it in. There will come time when you will no longer be able to hold it in together and when that happens, no one will understand why you're acting the way you're acting when it explodes. So better tell someone about it, if he can't help solve your problems, at least he can listen. And that's already a huge help. You are never alone. You've got your family and friends with you. God did not gave them to you for no reason at all.:)

I am so freaking excited for the reboot of Spider-man!

What made it more exciting is the fact that Andrew Garfield is gonna be playing the role of the friendly neighborhood himself!

And another thing, Emma Stone will play the role of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's love interest. (Yep, not Mary Jane!) I think this is going to be awesome! Two of my favorite actors in a movie about my favorite super hero? What could get any better?

I'll definitely watch this in the theaters!

2011-08-03T04:16:00.000-07:00

I terribly miss talking to you. I wish you will activate your formspring account again some time soon. And yes, I know that it's a pathetic and stalker-ish way of doing so. But I don't have a choice, I can't talk to you up front.:|

I think I'm doomed. I don't get to do the exercises properly. That's two now. Argh! What am I going to do? It's a seasonal subject, and I don't want to take it again next year. I mean, I think I'm okay in the lecture part, but the laboratory part is hell. And it's the more important one since that is where we apply everything we discuss in the lecture. Fortunately, the higher percentage of the final grade will come from the lecture, that's 50%. But I still have to do good in the laboratory so I can surely pass. Oh, God, help me, please? Pretty, pretty please?T____T

He just made his Facebook his online diary and he already posted two entries. It's nice to know that's he's opening up and letting other people know about his daily accounts. I wanted so much to tell him to create a blog instead so that he could keep his older entries when the time comes that the About Me section in his profile page runs out of characters.

School year's coming to an end again and in this whole year, I have concluded one thing: sometimes things turn out the way you didn't expect them to be. Every time I hear the word Speech Comm. or Badminton, it always irritates my ears--never fails. So when I finally took them in my first and second semester this year, respectively, I was surprised with how it turned out. I never thought I could enjoy, have fun and become excited in attending these classes. For one, I never really enjoyed speaking in front of the whole class, let alone delivering a speech. I still don't like that. But the thing is, this SPCM1/ G-2L made it possible! Another thing is, I never fancied sports--EVER. That's why I'm skeptic and not really sure if I should continue Badminton. But man, did I really enjoy it, especially the tournament! I felt like a real athlete competing with my classmates, especially in the doubles division! There are a few times when I sucked real bad and experienced a few defeats, but it was all worth it. Yeah, it felt bad to loose, but it didn't really get into me. For me, it was all just a game and it was something to be enjoyed and not to be taken seriously. And by seriously I meant SERIOUSLY, as in seriously. I mean you gotta take seriously or else you'll flunk the subject, but what I meant was seriously, as in take it way too seriously. Got it? So well, there you are. I guess the moral lesson here is, expect the worse and who knows, it might turn out to be otherwise. Well, that's it. Pretty much. Good luck to us! :D

Japan. Tsunami.

2011-03-11T06:56:00.000-08:00

It was still a blur, and I was skeptic when I heard my sister talking to my mom about what happened in Japan. I just came home from school, exhausted and really really tired. when my sister said that the earthquake had 8.9 magnitude, I thought she was wrong, and about the tsunami, well I didn't believe that either. I don't know where I heard it from, but what I know was it was just 7-point-something, not higher than that.

So when I turned on our television, the shocking news welcomed me. The news was showing this video of the tsunami: how far it had gone and how bad it had become. And all I was able to say was, "Oh my, God." I have no idea how many times I said that, but it just kept coming. But that's not yet the worse part, the news also said that the tsunami could also hit some of the provinces here in the Philippines. That's the time I got really nervous. What's going to happen now? Even if my province is not one of those that could possibly be hit, I'm still worried about what's going to happen. Who knows how huge the waves are going to be? I just hope everyone's going to be safe. This goes out to everyone who's affected by the latest disaster that had hit our world today.

I have always loved Japan, and I have always dreamed of going there someday. I feel bad about this tragedy not just because it's going to affect our country, but also because there a lot of other people who are affected. There are also some Filipinos in Japan and their relatives here are worried sick. The power supply and communications are down, and there is no way to contact their loved ones there.

I hope everything's gonna be okay soon. I know it eventually will be. Let's not get tired of praying. He will never leave us, He will always be there to protect us.

2010-11-01T10:09:00.001-07:00

If only I could post it right onto your wall: birthday ko, batiin mo ko!

But sigh, I can't. We're not close, just mere Facebook friends. That sucks. The person I wanted the most to greet me on my day won't be able to do so. I guess I'll just satisfy myself by listening to his covers before going to sleep. What a hopeless romantic.

Did I just say "Am I dreaming?" in my own dream?

2010-10-28T10:29:00.000-07:00

I can't believe myself when I woke up the other day, still thinking about my dream. I literally asked someone in my dream if I was actually dreaming because I was so happy and very excited at that moment. He said no, I wasn't, so I asked him to pinch me to prove it. He hesitated, but went on pinching me later on. I told him to pinch harder because it didn't hurt at all. I didn't know if he didn't want to hurt me or because you really never get hurt in dreams. Well, it just goes to show that I was really dreaming at that time.

So when I opened my eyes, I didn't move and tried to sleep again. I read somewhere that you will be able continue your dream if you just stay where you were the moment you opened your eyes, in the same exact position. But it was unsuccessful. I tried for several times, but the overwhelming thought of him being in my dream filled my mind that it made me unable to fall back to sleep again.:| Oh well, maybe I could dream about him some other time. Who knows, it might be tonight. I was supposed to wish for him on 11:11, but my Desktop clock now reads 1:41 am. Maybe I should re-phrase the last statement: Who knows, it might be this morning. LOL.

~~I wish that dream will come true.~~

2010-08-26T01:48:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I have a tumblr account, you guys can hear from me there more often. Just click the link. Thanks! :)

2010-08-26T01:43:00.000-07:00

I miss my favorite classmate last semester(2nd sem, A.Y.2009-2010).T^T I wish I could see him more often--not just stolen glances, but actually see him face to face. Ha! As if I can do that.

2010-07-28T23:25:00.000-07:00

A speech plan due on Friday.

A quiz on Web Programming on Friday.

A speech due on Wednesday.

A long exam next Friday.

Another long exam on Monday after next.

What a perfect month. I love August. Seriously.

2010-05-07T04:06:00.000-07:00

I'm thinking of creating a blog about the story I'm trying to make. *fingers crossed* I hope I could finish it, given the conditions I'm in right now. I have a lot of ideas, but can't really put them together. Err.

2010-03-03T07:20:00.001-08:00

I think I already have my fair share of embarrassing moments, thank you.

2010-03-03T06:59:00.000-08:00

Projects coming up, exams up ahead, a paper still waiting to be finished and assignments piling up--what a perfect week. And what am I doing right now? Yeah, blogging. Instead of starting to do these things to at least gradually lessen my work load, here I am wasting my time doing this post.

Okay, as people often say, let's just look at the brighter side. But, come on! Where the hell is it? If you happen to come across it, please do tell me where it is. I have been dying to see it.X_X

This post is so random. Please don't get confused if the topics suddenly change.

Anyway, I'm still weighing things up. Should I shift courses? I know it's getting late, but I still have this "driving force" to continue Computer Science. I have several reasons, but there's one that stands out--and I'm sorry, I'm not going to mention it here. It's far too private. Who knows, some of the people I know might be reading this. I don't want to be that obvious. I still want to keep that "mysterious feel", is there any?

So, I was browsing through some applications in Facebook yesterday and I came across this app which was called "Mystic Meg". (I told you, this post is so random.) I've already used that app several times before, and it's kind of creepy. Some predictions were actually true--or I just thought so? Anyway, yesterday it said something about a secret admirer blah blah and that he is wearing something brown. It was so funny, because the guy I'm currently crushing on was wearing brown yesterday. I mean, what are the odds? I know it's crap to believe such things, but so what? At least it made me smile. The morning of that day was my worse morning ever. So that prediction kind of made me forgot about what happened earlier.

Whoa, this post is kinda long. I think I'll stop here. Don't wanna bore you guys.

2010-02-19T04:24:00.000-08:00

I can't believe I'm gonna post this here, but anyways, I'm doing it now so I guess let's just proceed. Well I really don't know what happened here, but it seemed to me like inirapan niya ko. I don't know why, I didn't do anything bad to him, I didn't do anything to him, for that matter. So why would he do that? Am I that much of an eyesore?

Because of an incident which I stupidly caused, I can no longer act like I used to when I'm around you. It's hard, especially when we're seat mates in one of our classes!

I should stop the ranting now, blah blah blah. I'm pretty sure you don't mind me. You don't care about me at all.

What a stupid post.

2010-01-15T23:30:00.000-08:00

Yielding ways. Where will you go?

2009-10-13T09:10:00.000-07:00

So hopeless. I've got a project due on Friday and guess what? I still haven't started! So much for model student. And what's worse is, I may have a scheduled final exam on the presentation day. I hope they won't happen simultaneously. It would literally kill me. Calling all saints and of course, God for help. I need you all. Help me. 911.

2009-09-10T19:39:00.000-07:00

I get mesmerized whenever you smile, though it really wasn't for me.
I stutter a lot when you're around, though you never really notice.
I get happy just by getting a glimpse of you, though you don't know.
I get butterflies in my stomach whenever our paths cross, though it's just nothing for you.
I listen very well when you talk, though not to me. [this one's hopeless. and it's called eavesdropping!]
Your voice is music to my ear, though I seldom hear it.
You make my heart beat faster, though you're just passing by.
You never fail to complete my day, though you're doing it with just a simple stare.
I think I'm falling, though I shouldn't be.

2009-09-04T02:39:00.000-07:00

What's the most important thing for a computer science student? Computer, files and soft wares. But what else can a computer student do if his computer's hard drive suddenly gets corrupted and it's hopeless to retrieve all the files he had saved and all the soft wares he had installed in it? Nothing.

Of all the things that could happen, that particular one did to me. I asked my friend if there's still hope that the files can be retrieved, she said yes. So when my father brought the CPU to the technician(big thanks to him for repairing our PC for free), my hopes were up. But in the middle of waiting, my father called and told me that it was hopeless, that the technician can longer retrieve everything because all the drives were badly corrupted. I cried.

To top it off, our lab instructor gave us a take home exercise to be submitted today at 6pm. Considering that the technician finished reformatting the PC at around 2pm, that I have a class at 3pm, and that downloading all the necessary soft wares needed in compiling and running my program will definitely take time, I cannot make it on deadline. Good thing I was able to do the important part of exercise the night before. I think that's what they say, there's always the bright side. It's still not that big of a disaster after all.

Through the months, I have saved a couple of files, downloaded a couple of songs, videos, and pictures and installed some soft wares in our PC. It was a bit hard for me to let go of those things that took me several months to gather. Consequently, I have to start all over again. Start from trash, from the very beginning.

2009-08-25T01:50:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to our town's municipal hall to register for the upcoming 2010 elections. Can you believe it? I'm finally of legal age and voting for the next year's elections!

Do you have any candidates to vote for yet? Well, I still don't have one. I'm so excited for the elections. Now, I'm gonna be part of our country's future! I will be one of the millions of Filipinos who's gonna be deciding who our next leader should be. I'm excited. Let's just hope there will be a clean and honest election next year. Change. It's what we all need.

It seems like only yesterday I was a carefree minor who just makes lemonade out of the lemons that life's throwing at me(though I'm still doing it now. I think everyone should.XD). But even though I'm already 18 now, I still seldom feel and act like a child. I still haven't reach full maturity yet. Anyway, time will come for that. besides, I'm just 18.:)

PS. Have you heard or seen the latest song of Paramore? It's so cool. What else do you expect? They are Paramore. Anyway, if you haven't, I suggest you should see it or perhaps listen to it. It totally rocks.:D

2009-07-14T02:34:00.000-07:00

Raining. The weather seems to sympathize with me. I'm not crying, just feeling sad. Today's the 4th month of not seeing him. Yes, idiotic, I know, to still be hoping to see someone whom I don't even know anything about except for his first name. Still keeping my fingers crossed, though. :)

2009-06-24T21:20:00.000-07:00

I told you, I haven't given up yet. I'm still looking forward to seeing him again. And now, so suddenly, his face emerged from my mind again. I think I can still wait, I hope I can.

2009-06-09T17:12:00.000-07:00

This one's so funny. I found this game on a certain game site then tried it out for fun. It computes the compatibility rate of two people. To my surprise, this was the result!

Because I thought that that rate was too high, I tried it again with another game with the same functions, and this was the result:

The results were so high that it would be incredible. 95% and 97%? Haha. I honestly want to believe in this, but this is just a game, you know. Imagine if this is true, then... :) Hahaha! So much for mushy thoughts!Ü

Such a childish deed. I remember doing this when I was in high school and elementary. Students are so fund of doing this or other love testing stuff like FLAMES or MASH just so they know if they are compatible with their crushes. (Well, I do both to ensure maximum accuracy. Lol.) Don't come clean, I bet you do these things too.XD

2009-06-03T23:51:00.000-07:00

I found this really cool pair of shoes in the internet. I love the color and most especially, the design. :) It's got Paramore's name and members printed on it. I wonder when I can have one.

2009-06-02T23:55:00.000-07:00

I don't know why, but I feel like blogging and posting today. No clear topics or anything alike, just encoding whatever goes inside my mind. It's been a really long time since I last posted something here. And so I stared at the small blinking vertical line in front of me. I don't know what to write.
Okay, okay, something came up. :)

As I was browsing through the documents saved in our computer, I came across a video. It was the latest official trailer of the sixth installment of Harry Potter. It will be out in the theaters sometime in July. Honestly, I already quite forgot Harry Potter. Since I already finished reading all of the seven books, my interest for it decreased gradually. But when I saw the trailer, man, I tell you, it got all switched around and boom! I wanna watch the movie right there and then. I got really excited. It was amazing. I can't wait to see the full movie. :]

Welcome back, Harry Potter fanatic. We missed you. :)

2009-06-02T22:52:00.000-07:00

School days are coming up. I'm feeling it. I had the worst summer--it's raining like everyday, I didn't go swimming, I'm stuck in our house the whole time either surfing the net or watching dvd's.

whoah!

gloomy monday

2009-04-21T00:00:00.000-07:00

This summer, as I expected, will be as boring as last year. For some reasons, I decided not to have summer classes so I ended up staying at jome the whole day while most of my friends are busy with their schoolworks. What's worse about this year's summer is the continuous rain. It has been raining for several days now. Another thing is me being broke, yet again. Consequently, I have failed, again and again, to satisfy my craving for shawarma. I've been craving for that particular food since my the start of my second semester last academic year.

::♥*♥*♥::

***I still haven't seen him. Sad. It's been almost a month. Crap. I have not given up yet, though. I know somewhere, somehow, sometime, I will still be able to see him, at least. Just a glimpse of him will do. Shocks, what am I saying? I can't believe myself.***

never stay where you're not wanted

2009-04-02T23:22:00.000-07:00

Second semester is officially over! It's now time for summer classes. A lot of things has happened. A lot of ups and downs have been experienced, and through all that, I learned a very significant lesson: never stay where you're not wanted. I know, it's a bit unrelated, but I don't care. Since nobody is reading my blog but me, I decided to post some melodramatic stories and thoughts.

I am fund of answering survey questions that are posted on my Friendster account. One day, as I was answering one of the questions, I stopped for a moment. I was answering a question which was easy for me to answer before, but now seemed to be a bit difficult to me now. The question was, when was the last time you laughed so hard? it took me a while to answer that. I suddenly thought, when was that last time I laughed so hard? I noticed that I haven't been laughing a lot recently. Maybe it's because I have been alone for some time. I haven't met my friends for a long time and haven't hung out with them for a while. But then, there are also other people whom I want to be with. There's this person whom I'm very close with, but I haven't also seen for a while.

My mind keeps telling me to go and have some fun with them, but on the second thought, di rin ako mag-eenjoy. Do you know the feeling of being out of place? It's like you're invisible to them. They don't talk to you nor look at you. So why would I go and hang out people like that? I'm the kind of person who don't go with people who treats me like a nobody.

I don't know where this post will go. Basta I'm sure of one thing, I will never, ever stay where I'm not wanted. Di ko ipipilit ang sarili ko sa mga taong ayaw sakin. I'm that thick.

exams, presentations..what else could complete a perfect hell week?

2009-03-24T01:48:00.000-07:00

Exams for three days in a row, not to mention two on the same day, and a project to make and presentation coming ahead. These are the ingredients in a wicked recipe called hell week. I've finally finished two exams, three to go. I still haven't contacted my partner yet. We haven't talked about how we will make our project and when we will present.

Gosh. Pressure is building up all over me. To add up to that, I still don't know how my day would turn out tomorrow. I have two exams on the same day and time.

***I haven't seen him yet, for one week now. Where could he be? I'm just curious, just curious.***

Today is the starting day of the enlistment period for the summer classes, but still, I'm not yet decided if I will enroll this summer or not. Though I have fully accepted the fact that I am now delayed, I still want to at least not to get too far behind. Gusto kong makahabol, in other words.

I still don't know what to do. Geeesh.ö

loooots of humps ahead

2009-03-10T03:04:00.000-07:00

I really don't have anything to write(well, type, in this case), I just felt like posting something here. No agenda at all or whatsoever. Actually, I should be studying right now. I have an exam coming tomorrow night, and yet I haven't started browsing through my notes. Really a model student. Haha!☺

Well, my day started pretty good. Unfortunately, I woke up a bit late this morning. Luckily, I wasn't late. How did that happen? Okay, here's the reason. Since I woke up late, I decided not to eat my breakfast because I'm a certified slow-eater during breakfast and second, because aside from being a slow-eater, I also happen to consume a lot of time in taking a bath. And not just that, every Wednesday and Friday, mahina ang tubig. I don't know why. Nakakainis nga eh. So during those days, from the moment I wake up, I would go straight to bathroom and turn on the faucets so I could have enough water when I take a bath.

/*** Flashback. ***/

Yesterday was a Tuesday. I was expecting a delivery from someone. As expected, it arrived. I was so excited to try the garment on. To my dismay, I didn't like the way blouse fitted me. I looked like a giant hanger. And so, I tried several methods to make it look better, at least. I tried to put on a belt. It did look better. But the thing is, I'm not used to wearing accessories(I consider belts as accessories). I'm really disappointed. I really, really want to wear that blouse, but... *sigh* :( I felt like I just wasted my money for no reason. Sayang din yun.

Lessons learned. I will not go online shopping anymore. Kainis lang.

Thinking of You - Katy Perry

Oh I just love this song. It's pretty sad, though. A person who's already with someone, but is really longing to be with someone else. Aww.:( There's nothing sadder than not being with someone who you want to be with.

when I'm with him, I was thinking of you...
oh I wish that i, was looking into your eyes...

Goodnight. :)

late realizations

2009-03-03T20:38:00.000-08:00

This morning, I was watching the music chart of Myx for foreign artists. I was able to watch Katy Perry's latest music video entitled, "Thinking of You". Matt Dallas, a.k.a. Kyle of the TV show Kyle XY was there. Oh my, he's really cute. I don't know why ngayun ko lng napansin un. He's got really gorgoeus and expressive eyes. Katy's lucky to be able to work with him. Haha. Well, so much for that. I still have to study. I have an exam tomorrow, sana maipasa ko ulit. Wish me luck!☺

Later this morning, as I was on my way home, I came across some guys wearing exactly the same shirts. There's a simple sentence imprinted at the back. A very subtle sentence that made a huge impact on me.

"Ang tamad talo...

nasa UPLB ka.."

The first line was all in capital letters and the latter was in bold letters. I think I don't deserve to wear that shirt. A really good message to students, not just in UPLB, but to all the students in general. Ang galing ko magsalita noh, parang ang sipag-sipag ko eh. Tsk.

It's a bit funny, though. Nananadya talaga. I read it when I was currently thinking about my research paper, that I still haven't started yet due to unimportant and non-sense reasons.

Uh-oh..

die trying

2009-02-17T17:53:00.000-08:00

I'm all messed up.
I don't do my duties and I'm being irresponsible when it comes to my academic requirements.
Whenever I tell myself to do this and that, I still, always end up not doing them.
I'm so unorganized.
I have a severe mañana habit.
Whenever I find it hard to do something, I don't even exert an effort to try to work it out.
I have a bad social life.
I'm still stuck in my old study habits.
I spend more time on unnecessary things than on the essential ones.
I ask too many questions.
I'm always late at everything.
I don't take things seriously.
I have lots of alibis and excuses.
I hate this.

I'll improve myself, promise! I will not break that. I'm just not yet ready to start all over again. But I'll do it, in time. Well of course, before it's too late. Better yet, I'll do it now. I know I can, I just always take things for granted and end up doing nothing. Argh. I'll make it happen this time. I will.

2009-02-12T21:56:00.000-08:00

Drawing, coloring, then drawing again, then coloring. Hmm. What could she be doing?

What's that? Looks like she's really busy. She doesn't even mind me taking her pictures.

Let's take a closer look. Oooh. She's using the violet pencil.

Wow! Finally. Well, I still don't pretty much know what she drew. Haha! But, she seems proud of it. Hehe. Way a go! :)

It's Feb fair week, but I still haven't gone there. My mom won't let me. She told me to just go there on Friday, with her and my sister. Okay fine, gonna spend some quality time together. Mother and daughter. Okay na din. ;)

We had a quiz this morning--I'm late, as usual. I was answering the quiz when I noticed something funny. I thought that it was only me who was shaking because of the room's low temperature. But to our surprise, it was really shaking! There was an earthquake, it was short lived though, but still it was freaky. Mejo malakas eh. I looked at our professor and it drew a smile on my face. Her reaction was really funny. She was about to run outside when the quake was at its peak, but since it was just for a short while, she settled immediately. Due to the untimed earthquake, the alloted time for the quiz was lengthened. Nice one!:D

<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

I had a bad time last week. There are a looooooot of reasons for that. First was because I had my monthly period which caused me dysmenorrhea. Oh, it hurts so bad! I was absent the whole day. Second was because I still haven't formulated my tentative thesis statement yet, and the first submission of note cards is today! So now I still don't know if I should attend the class later or not. Baka pagalitan ako eh!T_T

So what will happen this week? Will it turn out well or not or not-so-well? I hope it'll be well.
Will I enroll for the summer classes? I'm considering that, but I want to enjoy the summer. I want to rest, and forget schooling for at least two months.

What to do? What to do?

the perfectly-timed misadventures of me. x_x

2009-02-03T07:24:00.000-08:00

We had our scheduled first long exam in cmsc56 today. All about logic. It just gives me a headache. I decided to review on it yesterday since the topics and concepts to be reviewed are not that long. Well, as expected, I still haven't fully understood some of the rules needed in proving the validity of an argument.

They may look simple, but believe me, they're wicked. Argh! And so, I had been reviewing the whole day until before our lab instructor started discussing the new lesson. Since then, I wasn't able to review again.

Our lab instructor told us that the new lesson is easy and will not take us 3 long hours to finish the discussion and the exercise. So I decided to go home first to get myself ready for the upcoming "agony" before going back to school. But when we were finally answering the given exercise, my time calculations were destroyed. My partner and I took a long while to finish it. Kaya ayun, 6pm na ko nakalabas. One hour left to go home and have some snacks and prepare myself. To my surprise, I was caught in a traffic jam. Actually, not surprised, I just forgot that it was during that time that the streets are always on traffic. And so I waited until the jeepney I was riding finally got out. Time check: 6.35pm. Yeah, right! It's too late to go home. I thought of some alternatives. I just decided to go to Pizza Hut and buy their Buy1, Take1 pizzas. Two pizzas at the price of one. Nagmahal na rin pala yun.

Anyway, I ate my pizzas on the way back to PhySci. I was running late. I told the driver that I'm heading to PhySci, but still, he changed course and turned to the road leading to CEAT! What a nice driver! Not only that, dun niya lang ako binaba sa kanto ng DL. He's really nice, isn't he? Kaya yun, tatakbo na ko. My mind was so occupied that I completely ignored everything aroud me. When I reached second floor, Naabutan ko pa si mam. She's still on her way. Thank God, I'm still wasn't late after all. :)

Daming familiar faces ah. I was surprised to see some acquaintances whom I thought passed 56. Medyo madami sila. Kinabahan tuloy ako.

I don't know if I did well. But I'm contented with my performance. What's better was the guy I'm eyeing on was just in front of me for the whole period. Talk about good sightings!:D

What a day. I went home tired and exhausted. /*Actually, I should be sleeping right now. I have to wake up at 6am tomorrow.*/ I think that's all. Goodnight. *wink*

i was so nervous one minute, but got relieved the next..•_•

2009-01-30T03:29:00.000-08:00

This semester, I had to re-take of one my subjects I already took during my very first semester. The story is that my former teacher did not accept my paper since it lacked sources. I only had three, no scratch that, two sources for my paper. Okay, I know, it's all my fault. I did not take that subject seriously and just went as an easygoing student. Why was I an easygoing student then?

I still can't get over my high school life. When I was in high school, I didn't study hard. When some of my classmates were burning their eyebrows and studying hard for long tests and quizzes, I was there, watching tv, going to places, hanging out with my friends, and not even opening or visiting the pages of my books. I, unfortunately, carried this attitude until my first semester as a college freshman. But now, I can say I changed a bit. Basta, alam ko. Wag nang umangal.:D
I was not aware of the time. Well I actually am, but I did not mind. I thought I still have a lot until I noticed, wala na pala. Okay, that sucks. I am such a good way to illustrate people having mañana habit. And still the bottom line is, time is gold! Use it wisely.
I don't know what I should do. Actually, I didn't have a clear idea in mind that time. What should I write? Well that's actually a problem. I suck in writing(if you noticed my posts). I am bad when it comes to organizing ideas and relating them to each other. Even if she accepted my paper, I doubt it if she's going to give me a good grade.
Okay! My hands are up! I'm irresponsible. Hindi ko inasikaso. Period.

Just this morning, I finally formulated my research topic. I went to my professor to consult it. I'm so nervous. Her first reaction?

"Masyado tong broad, iha."

So she asked me to narrow it down. Oh no, I can't think of anything that I can extract from my topic. It took me a while to finally show her what I wrote. I patterned it from the examples she always mentions in class. She said it was good and gave me an assignment, she wants me to make a tentative thesis statement regarding my topic. And so, my consultation turned out good. I faced my fear. I'm always afraid to talk to my teachers. I don't know why. Basta ganun eh.

Hay. I went home happy. I overcame something I've been avoiding ever since. It feels good. ;)

☺☺☺

2009-01-28T19:13:00.000-08:00

Last week was a total blur! I had three exams in one day. I was only able to review for cmsc21, so I guess I should not expect good results from the other two. :(

Just yesterday, our instructor gave us the result of our exam for last week. I'm am so down, hopeless and very pessimistic about the result. I told myself not to expect too much. And so our instructor laid the papers in front and allowed us to get them ourselves. At first, I can't find my paper. Being unable to find it just prolongs the agony. Then, I finally got it...

I passed the exam!

I can't believe it. Nakapasa ba talaga ko? I'm so happy. But, it's too early to celebrate. This is just the start, a lot is still to come. Pero okay na din, I passed our first exam. :D

Eh yung dalawa kaya? *sigh*

i had to stop myself..

2009-01-23T01:41:00.000-08:00

xoxo

you're pushing and pulling me down to you

2009-01-09T02:08:00.000-08:00

No comment na nga. Haha. :D
Basta I just wanna see more of you. Sana nga araw-araw eh. But I think that's too much.
Okay na rin yung at least twice a week. Better be contented with kundi mahahalata na ko. :)
Haha. Kanya-kanyang paraan lang talaga. :]

And one more thing, you shine awesomely brighter than anyone does. :]

Hope to see you soon. Define hope. *_*

college na tlga ko.

2009-01-07T08:20:00.000-08:00

Oh my, it's 12:30 am on my wrist watch, and yet I'm still awake. I'm still doing my take home exercise in 21. Ang sakit sa ulo.T_T I'm really hopeless.. Di ko na alam gagawin ko. I've tried to modify my code several times, but still mali ang nage-generate niya.

Buti na lang nagchachat na ko. I met several people who are taking up courses that are related to mine. And guess what, I made use of them. I ask them for help in formulating the right algorithm. Tagumpay! Tumama ung sagot nung isa. Nag-run at walang errors. I'm so relieved. Kakaiyak pala pag nakuha na yung tama. :D Again, a very big thanks to you. Babawi ako, promise. :) Formulating algorithms really gives me a headache. >.<

But I should not mind that, there's still a lot to come, more difficult and probably more complex. I should prepare for that. Buti naman ngayon, nakakagawa na ko ng alam ko na talaga yung gagawin at hindi yung hula-hula lang codes. Yun ang gawain ko nung sa 11 eh.

I don't know how to close this one, kaya ganito na lang..BYE! :)

1 week left..T_T

2008-12-27T00:58:00.000-08:00

Saturday. One week na lang pasukan na naman. I still have a lot to do. Di ko pa nasasagutan yung first two exercises sa cmsc21 at hindi ko pa rin alam kung ano ung scenario na sinasabi sa 22. I've been asking my classmates about it, but they all have the same answer, "Hindi ko din alam eh."

Paano na?

Waaa.. Sana bumagal ang panahon. Ayoko pang oumasok. :((

nonetheless...

2008-12-17T13:25:00.000-08:00

Wohoww! I'm currently addicted to listening to Paramore's songs. I think this is the side effect of crushing on Josh Farro. Hehehe. :D

I'll never let this go, but I can't find the words to tell you..

hello world.

2008-12-16T17:33:00.000-08:00

I thought there will be no classes today, but my professor in cmsc56 still pushed our lecture through. Nice one. Kaya aun, ang konti lng namin sa lecture hall. Ang daming vacant seats. It's really nice of our professor to still appreciate that we attended the lecture eventhough konti lng kami. :D

I'm feeling lazy, actually. I just wanna post something here. Maybe next time I'll to see it na mahaba-haba na ung ipopost ko. ;) I think that's it. Bye. :D

whaaat??

2008-12-15T20:59:00.000-08:00

I want to post something, but the thing is, I can't think of anything to post. Okay, how about this.

I'm excited for Christmas! Well, not just because of the gifts or money I can get from my ninong's and ninang's or from my friends, but also because I will have new clothes! It's time for Christmas shopping. :D I love shopping. I love buying new clothes and shoes and flip-flops and tops and pants and shorts and skirts and...the list goes on. Though shopping is a bit tiring, as much as I can, I won't mind. ;P

Another reason is because my cousins are cooking up a party, which means--exchange gifts! Haha. Di naman ako adik sa regalo noh? ;) Hehe. I hope it will be fun just like the one we had last year. It was fun and so hilarious! Talk about getting crazy. How could I forget that night(or morning), I recieved two gifts. Eh dapat isa lang. Again, special thanks to that person who didn't forget me. Sorry, though, I was not able to give you any. :D

Well then, I guess that's it. I'm really drained. I got a lot of things going on to me right now--about academic stuff, as usual. Til then, bye. :)

i heart joshua neil farro! <3

2008-12-05T07:12:00.000-08:00

This is him. The newest apple of my eyes. Harhar. :D
But unfortunately, he's taken. He is Hayley William's (vocalist, Paramore) boyfriend. So what?
That doesn't forbid me to have a crush on him. ;)

Astig nia noh? As in he totally rocks(or should I say rocks my world? Haha. ;p)!
And so, I'm currently hooked on watching Paramore's music videos.
Addicted? Well, not really. I just wanna see him. :D

Hayley is one lucky gal. :(
Harhar. ;D

. . .

search engines are on!

2008-12-03T19:27:00.000-08:00

I'm searching. No, scratch that. I have been searching, that is. I have been searching for what I want. I'm not satisfied for where I am at. (I'm talking about my course.) Feeling ko di ko kakayanin ang comsci. This is not for me. I'm not good at this. Para lang sa mga halimaw ang course na to, and I'm not one of them.

Gusto kong mag-shift. But as usual, I'm still not sure. Gusto ko sanang mag-DevCom. I heard that they have a subject about photography. I love photography, kahit wala kaming cam. I love taking pictures in various angles. The only problem that I see if I would take that risk is that I'm not good in writing. Hirap ako pagdating sa pagsusulat. I'm not an inborn writer, so I won't be surprised kung nachachakahan ka sa mga posts ko dito.

Ang gulo. I'm still weighing things up. I'm thinking how would end up if I pursue my current course or if I will pursue my second plan. Pero syempre, I have to consult my parents about it. Besides, they are one's who's spending money for my matriculation.

. . .

is it? is it?

2008-12-03T19:14:00.000-08:00

Oh my, yesterday was our schedule for laboratory in cmsc22. It is plainly about Java programming. And guess what, I suck in this subject. Ang hirap!

Simula pa lang mahirap na, paano pa kaya yung mga susunod? Good luck to me. This is going to be one heck of a ride--a really bumpy one. (Nooooooo. T_T)

relieved--but not fully :(

2008-11-13T23:52:00.000-08:00

Finally, registered na ko! But still, not satisfied. I wasn't able to take Math 26. Hirap kaseng magpre-rog. Laging nawawala ung teacher. Nako. Consequently, I have to take it this summer, along with Stat1. I already attended several of my classes. I'm still nervous about my comsci subjects.

Yesterday--Wednesday, 13 November 2008--I attended my class in cmsc21. As expected, we didn't start the formal lesson yet since the course outline is not yet ready and our lecturer's schedule is still not finalized. During the class--actually, even before it started--I observed familiar faces. Un ung mga taong mag-cmsc21 last sem. Patay.

"Shet. Ang daming bumagsak sa 21. Pano na to? Di ako ganoon karunong mag-program. God, 911!"

Even my former high school classmates were also there. Matatalino ung mga un. My God, I'm really nervous. I don't want to see another classcard with an encircled "5" on it.

"Sana kasing considerate ung mga instructors ko ngayon ung instructors ko last sem."

I really thought I was going to fail cmsc11, but thank God, I didn't. Also thanks to my very considerate intructors. Hehe. Ndi bola yun ha. *magic wand*

"Sssuuupppeeerrr GOOD LUCK! Kaya mo yan!"

I'll do my best, make use of my resources, and uhm, study hard, perhaps? No, I SHOULD STUDY HARD. That's the most essential thing to do. Even the smartest man on earth still acquires knowledge through studying. In accomplishing passing or good grades, studying real hard is still the bottom line. One can atain a good academic standing if he studies hard and does things that needs to be done.

"One will only be a failure if he stops trying."

I'm currently hooked in listening to David Archuleta's "Crush". Simple lyrics, yet great impact. Nako, aminin. Nakakarelate ung iba. Hehe. :)

. . .

It's like he's still confused whether it's just a simple crush or is he already falling in love? That's quite a difficult question. It's really true, right? Sometimes, we thought that it was nothing deep and not a serious matter, but as things happens, ayun na--in love na pala. :)

. . .

But I have one question remaining, bading ba si Archuleta? Hehe. La lang, para kasing ang lamya niya kumilos. I hope not, 'cause he's really cute. Sayang naman di ba?Ü Meron lang sigurong mga ganung straight, mahinhin pa sa babae.ö

Start of classes is fast-approaching, but I can't feel it. I went to school a while a ago. Madami na ring estudyante, pero tinatamad pa rin akong pumasok (as usual). I'm still underloaded--15 units--I need three units more. I'm planning to take 21 units since I only took 12 last sem, but because of time and unavailability of slots, di na ata kakayanin.

Personally, I don't know what awaits me this semester (well, who knows?). I hope this is going to be good. Ginaganahan lang ako mag-aral pag mataas grades ko eh. Sana matataas ngayon para ganahan.

Okay, okay! Inaatake na naman ako ng katamaran, but I'll see to it that it won't eat me whole! I'll push through. This time, I wanna study hard. Kaso pag naman ganito laging hanggang salita lang ako. Hay!

This coming sem, I'll be taking cmsc21 and cmsc22. These two subjects are complicated and difficult (well, one of my closest blocmates told me that most of the computer science students find these two major subjects very difficult). Katakot. Pre-requisite kase neto ang cmsc11-introduction to computer science. Grabeng intro yan, pahirap agad! Programming really gives a bad headache! In making algorithms, there a lot of things to consider before even starting. What more when you finally came to the point na iche-check mo na if the program is working or if there are errors that needs to be resolved?

Saludo ko sa mga computer science students ng uplb na naka-graduate on time. Mga halimaw kayo. Share naman ng knowledge and understandings regarding our course. :)

I think that's all for now. Ang dami kong iniisip. Good luck to me and my fellow college students this semester! I hope we'll make it good this semester, and hopefully, sa mga following semesters pa. Up until graduation! Yes! Haha. ;)

my cousin..so cute!Ü

Just wanna post a picture of my cousin. This was taken using my 2-megapixel camera phone. She took this herself. Lage niya kaseng hinihiram yung phone ko and would play with the camera--she's just four years old. Hehe. :) Actually kapag nababadtrip sya sa pang-aasar namen, all I would do is just bring out my phone and say, "o picture picture ka muna o." And then eventually, she's in good mood again.

Why did I post it? Wala lang, nagandahan lang ako. Without any effort parang ang ganda nung shot--as for my opinion, ewan ko lang ung inyo. :)

nasa mood akong mag-post ngayon. ^__^

I'm so excited for twilight. Hindi nman masyadong halata di ba? :)

Kaso di ko pa to nababasa. :( Is there someone out there who's kind enough to lend me a book? Hehe. Syempre dapat kakilala kita.

Although I haven't read it yet, most of my friends say na ang sweet daw nilang dalawa sa isa't isa. Actually, nahawaan ko na din sa kaadikan ung kapatid ko. Hehe. :) Whenever she's surfing the net, she would look for twilight pictures and watch the trailers posted on youtube.

Who can blame me? Maganda naman kase talaga. :)

advance happy birthday to me!! :)

Wow! Time really flies by so fast, and before you notice it, it already passed you by. Hay, I'm turning 18. :( I'm no longer a minor, but still a child at heart. Hehe. :) I'm excited to be 18. Wala naman sigurong masyadong mababago. As they say, age is just a number. So I really don't mind turning a year older.

sembreak!!!

Finally, first sem has ended! I wish pasa lahat ng grades ko. A lot of things happened this sem, and several names were added to my secret list. Hehe. :) Personally, I enjoyed this sem. One of the reasons is because one of my close friends, Clair, is my classmate in Stat1. It's the first time I had a classmate who's also my high school friend. Then, another reason is because I learned a lot from one of my computer science subjects. At least, meron. I learned to do things on my own, but still, with a little help from others.

Mejo tinatamad akong magpos ngayon. Habaan ko na lang next time. :)

Blogging? Well, it's not really my cup of tea, but since some of my friends have blogs, I was also encouraged to make one. I'm not good in web page designing so I'm not really sure what would this become.

I'm kind of confused right now. I'm really bored with all the things that are happening to me. Same things happening over and over again. I want something new. I want to spice up my life, but I don't know where or how to start. I always stay at home. Home-school, home-school, home-school...so boring!

For me, having low grades since I entered college is normal, but I do want to improve. I want to improve myself in all aspects. But every time I try to do it, it will always be unsuccessful. I'm too lazy! I'm too lazy to do things and I don't have the courage to do the things that I wanted to do. I have low self-esteem. Crap.

911! Could someone lend me a hand?T_T

travel.

2008-09-10T21:55:00.000-07:00

I love to travel--I guess everyone does. There are a lot of places I want to visit someday, mostly European countries. Actually, I made a list of the top ten places I want to visit(just visit, as of now, I don't have plans of living permanently abroad). Well, here's the list:

10. Sydney, Australia
9. Paris, France
8. Japan
7. Germany
6. Switzerland(chocolates!)
5. New York(Haha.. Gossip Girl! Oooohh..)
4. Disneyland(US)
3. Bohol
2. London
1. Rome, Italy

Obviously, I dream of traveling around the world. When traveling, you don't just simply visit places, you also learn a lot of things. You learn more about their culture, food, religion, views about life, their way of living, how things are going on in that place, and a whole lot more. This can also change some of your philosophies or beliefs in life. Traveling is tiresome, but fun. As for me, I won't mind getting tired just as long as I'm having fun, learning new things and making the most out of my life.
