I'm Right Here...

2011-07-08T08:17:00.003+08:00

I now know for a fact that my biggest fear is change. No matter how I want change I can never let it happen without holding on to fragments of what was. It never feels right.

Today someone told me that people who think they "could" and people who think they "could not" are both right. It's a principle retold a thousand times, only differently each time. Perhaps. Perhaps. It never feels right.

Why do I always find myself wanting what I don't have? It never feels right.

But sometimes I can just lose all the care in the world and feel that I am where I want to be. With whom I want to be...

Smooth sailing, everyone. :)

Hello Old Friend, it's been a while.

2011-06-19T00:00:00.003+08:00

It's been a while indeed. Almost three long years have passed by since my last post and a whole lot has happened since then. You might even say a totally different person is typing these words...

A few bonds have been weekend or lost but a few more have been found and strengthened.

If I only knew then where I would be today...

Still I sail my boat day by day, pushed on by the winds of time and guided by the tides of opportunity.

But where compass arrow points now I do not know...

I leave you at that for now. I sure do hope I can post as often as before. English skills have been rusting in the gutter. :(

On a side note: I've built the rig I posted below and even surpassed those specs (at more than twice the original cost). Still, Diablo III has not arrived!

WoW was great but I just could not find the time and resources for that.

I hope blogging like this isn't as corny as I think it is. It is the age of facebook after all. Anyways, see you in the next post. :D

Diablo Rig

In preparation for DIABLO III, I have given myself a goal.... Hopefully by October and before Decemeber I could get this.

Tagaytay Weekend Adventure

2007-12-11T00:15:00.000+08:00

Ok, so I admit it... I have this inclination of calling these kinds of vacations as "weekend adventures." No biggie, it's all good. Hehe. Last weekend, Me and Baby went with two of her best buddies, Norman and Corinne, on a trip to Tagaytay. It was a long drive, good thing Corinne had a zippy space wagon and a good driver. Hehe. Anyways, we ate at the mile high diner (which I think has some truth to its name because we were at some altitude, enough to make our ears pop.) The food was expensive yet...argh I just realized that I'm a lazy blogger... so I'll just describe the pics... Nyahaha... *evil grin* All pics taken by me... except the ones I'm in, because I wouldn't be able to take a picture of myself without a tripod or anywhere to but the camera on... although that would be possible.

This would have been better if that guy and that jeep was not there. But they make good accents nonetheless. As the sign says it's a garden. I really big one. I didn't believe that it was real the first time I saw it.

It's a duck. NOT a goose, not a garden gnome. And its REAL too. Hehe... It's really white and really clean looking... plus I like the green-ness of the grass - so I took the shot. Hehe... *Quack!*

Gotcha! Are you holding his hand? Hmmm? Hmmmm! o_O haha... just kidding. I call this the bubbly pic... because its so bubbly! Even though I don't see any bubbles around. Hehe. That's Yunisee, Norman (back of head) and Corinne from left to right. Corinne likes her picture taken and Norman would kill anyone who takes his. Baby wants world peace more than anything else (aside from me, I guess).

Yuppie! That's us. That's Taal lake in the background. I didn't realize that it was sooo far away. I thought Tagaytay is Taal lake.... but nooo. It's just a high place where you can view the lake. But is cool.... literally.

And this is where we stayed... "maliit lang" (it's just small). YEAH RIGHT! Hehe...

Spidermen!

2007-11-23T21:31:00.001+08:00

Andaming spidermen! I cant get over them talaga. Andamiii! OMGness! Spidermen! Spiderman! May black, may red! May black. May reeeed. Andamiii! Waaaw... So much! I am overwhelmed... Waaaw. Kuha ni baby ko to... I love my baby! Hehe...

Happy First Monthsary Baby ko!

I guess the time was right for us to say We'd take our time and live our lives Together day by day We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer We know our dreams can all come true With love that we can share With you I never wonder--will you be there for me With you I never wonder--you're the right one for me I finally found the love of a lifetime A love to last my whole life through I finally found the love of a lifetime Forever in my heart I finally found the love of a lifetime With every kiss, our love is like brand-new And every star up in the sky Was made for me and you Still we both know that the road is long We know that we will be together Because our love is strong I finally found the love of a lifetime A love to last my whole life through I finally found the love of a lifetime Forever in my heart I finally found the love of a lifetime

This photo updates to show the weather within our area of responsibility.

Will there be classes tomorrow? We will return after these lengthy commercials and crappy reports for an update on the tomorrow's weather.

It seems that the media is using "Egay's" slow movement speed to their advantage. I'm tired of waiting so I made a blog entry.

By the way, for those of you who are praying for more rain, the Church has urged everyone to stop. We had enough rain already. I only wish that classes will still be suspended tomorrow, be it rain or shine.

Another image from my archives... still from the last Builder outing. Its been so long since I've posted something. Sorry for the wait. I wanted newer shots but I didn't have the time to go out and shoots some new stills. But hey, here's a fresh looking one, nevertheless.

Kangkong stalks and brandy are in no way related, yeah I know. But the wet kangkong stalks looked so fresh and the [already] empty bottle seemed like a pretty good accent that it was really hard NOT to take one quick macro snapshot. We we're doing a lot of "shooting" then so this was just another one of the 671 photos we took during that vacation. I didn't bother posting all of them though, I'm a bit too lazy for that.

Uhm, hello world? I'm still alive! Just too busy doing schoolwork and stuff. Hehe. Expect new photos by next week. ^_^

Centuries Apart

This tree and this old school might be centuries older than the tricycles that pass through these streets. Hmmm, just a thought... no evidence to back that up. This is Sta. Barbara Church by the way, one of the oldest churches in Panay - or so they say. Hehe...

I just zoom in a little and I get a totally different image. (see first pic) Haha, colorful trikes. ^_^

Last Rays

2007-07-15T20:28:00.000+08:00

Last Rays

Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?
Could you close every day, without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

*Exerpt from "Never Let Go" by Bryan Adams, ending theme of "The Guardian."

I watched The Guardian this afternoon so I got inspired to dig through my collection of photos to find a good image for this song. This one was taken while I was waiting for a plane at Iloilo's new Airport. I called it Last Rays for obviouse reasons... hehe. The sun may have set but a new day will soon follow, hope will shine again so never look back, never look down, and never let go. ^_^ (Im so inspired) Hehe.

Oh, by the way. Have you ever wondered why they dim the cabin lights in an airplane just before landing? Well, I recently found out that they do this so that passengers could adapt to the darkness incase the aircraft crashed on landing. Eyes which are exposed to bright light take a few moments to adapt when exposed to sudden darkness. Ridding the passangers of this temporary blindness could save lives.

Tutubi

This is a tutubi, er intsik-intsik in Ilonggo, or dragonfly for most of you... This was taken a few weeks ago while we visited Pangasinan, I think it was some kind of team building activity. I dont know, I was too drunk to remember (pare!). ^_^ Anyways, while everyone was taking some R&R I was off practicing my photography skills. This one was taken using a canon IXUS 750 (aha... at last I know what camera I'm using). I used some digital zooming here because these pasky little creatures fly away whenever I move too close. The yellow, brown, flesh thingy is a garden hose by the way. No its not an arm, a leg or whatever. I used macro focus mode, no flash... its was mid noon anyways. The natural light was more than enought. Here's another pic. I'll make it a habit to post only a minimal number of pics per day so that I could post a lot of entries. Uploading too many photos can be a bore. Angle and zoom is not too good on this one. No photoshop edits in both photos, sorry tamad.

I'm the king of the world?

I don't know, but I think UP's oblation statue reminds me a lot of Leonardo di Caprio's famous Titanic Movie scene. ^_^ This picture was taken while we we're stuck in traffic in front of UP Iloilo (my brother's current high school). A new flyover is currently under construction here, hence the heavy traffic. I think that's a fig leaf covering his you-know-what. I'm not sure. Hehe. Why couldn't the oblation statue be female? Huh? Huh? O_O

High School Life

2007-07-08T00:51:00.000+08:00

My Ball!

Today (yesterday na pala), I went to visit my old high school, Pisay. It was their 15th foundation day and I loved their theme: "Pushing Frontiers, Keeping Traditions." Or something like that. Anyhoo, we played a little Frisbee with my batch mates, there were only four of us at that time, and I got so wet because of the slight drizzle and because of moving and talking too much that I decided to sit at the sidelines and dry myself a little. I observed the activities of the kids around me and saw myself and my batch mates doing the same thing a few years ago. PSHS has changed very little since we left. The field still smelled like wet grass. The corridors still smelled of sweet perfume. The faculty center was still abuzz. The covered walk was still filled with noisy, chaotic scholars. The gym still had birds flying overhead. The same faces smiled back at you at the canteen, the lobby, at the teachers lounge. Well, yes... aside from the newly tiled floors, newly painted walls, bigger trees, and wireless internet, PSHS was still the same place that I left a few years ago. I'm glad to know that. If only we could live such carefree lives now that we're already studying for college degrees.

Calle Real

2007-07-05T23:35:00.000+08:00

This morning, I somehow convinced my mother to drive me around the old city to take some pictures. Of course the drive could never happen without constant nagging about the camera being suddenly stolen, but overall it was a fun experience. Calle Real used to be "Main Street" or "Downtown" before the big malls suddenly sprouted everywhere in the Island. Now, it has an atmosphere very similar to Quiapo. Old yellow buildings, heavy traffic, the ever present threat of thieves. Yet somehow, this place reminds me a lot about my childhood and the city I grew up in. Enjoy Old Iloilo in full sepia colors. ^_^

Calle JM Basa

This building used to be Iloilo International Hotel, way, way, back during peacetime (before the second word war?) according to my grandfather. The building still stands, but its purpose was lost with the times. Now it serves as a front for different kinds of stores and offices. This shot was taken while we were riding along JM Basa Street.

Plazoletagay

I think that directly translates to little plaza. This was taken early in the morning, before traffic starts to clog this busy intersection. If that big TV patrol bill board was not there, this pic would look like the old EDSA - you know... the one without the cars. Again, I hate those wires.

Celso Ledesma

Celso Ledesma? Did I read that right? Just to give you a sense of how old these buildings are, I took a close-up of one with a date written on its facade. This one was built in 1923. Hmm... 2007 minus 1923... that's 84 years. Almost as old as my Lolo. Hmmm. I'll ask him more about this building's history.

Kilometer Zero

When you travel the roads of Panay Island, (Iloilo is merely the capital of Panay, FYI) there are road markers everywhere. This markers tell you haw far you are from the next town and how far you have traveled from the main city. This fountain is kilometer zero. That's the old provincial capitol at the background, restored after the fire.

Old and New

Museo Iloilo is home to many war relics, paintings, old artworks, and much more. You should come visit whenever you're stopping by Iloilo for Boracay or anywhere else. That's the new Provincial Capitol at the background. It was build after the old one got burned. It comes complete with automatic flushing toilets, automatic sliding doors, and fingerprint scanners.

After a long week of exams and projects, I finally had some time to breath. The streets were moist from the sporadic showers that marked the start of the rainy season. Ahhh yes, the perfect time to take out the camera and take some night shots of the walled city, Intramuros.

This image was exclusively done using Yahoo Messenger’s ‘Doodles’ IMvironment. Hehe. I think they look alike. Hopefully. ^_^ I'm usually creative during the wee hours of the morning, just before sunrise. Yes, the clock is right - it's already 3:41am. I only posted this now because I was already seeing double this morning. I just woke up. Final exams later this afternoon. Wish me luck! I hope yunisee woke up (or stayed up) early enought to not miss her first class.

Up Close

2007-06-23T22:12:00.000+08:00

Macro Focus Mode

Macro shots are one of my favorite types of pictures. You don't need a lot of skill to come up with a good one too. All you need to do is select the macro focus mode of your camera (see icon above). Select a fine looking specimen. Move your camera really close (2-5 inches, or so). Half-press the shot button so that your camera could automatically set the focus. And click! you have your macro shot. Here are a few exaples of my favorite shots. No photoshop edits for these ones.

Lamp Number 5

This is a shot of the trainer that we use in our automation class. I intentionally left only one lamp on to attract more attention to that specific area. This also adds accent to the picture. Macro shots have a very narrow depth of focus (Im not sure if I used the right technical terms, but you know what I mean). Most of the shot is out of focus and only a very small area remains clear. Again this is to shift more attention to a specific area in a picture.

The Last Slice

When taking a macro shot, you must pay close attention to the lighting. Using the flash when your camera is really close to the subject can oversaturate the image and you could end up with a picture that looks like a clean sheet of paper. You may have to take a few shots to get it right. Try to experiment which shots looks best. If your image looks good without the flash, then that's a good shot. In some cases where the flash is absolutely necessary, try to move away from the subject a bit and compensate by zooming in a little. This is a shot cake leftover from some party. With macro shots, even leftovers could look mouth watering.

Sizzler

Here is one example where I did use the flash. Take note that black is one of the dominant colors in this image. Black absorbs light and will make anything in the foreground look darker. See how the flash reflects off the corn kernels? This is why we seldom use the flash when taking macro shots. Another important factor that you have to consider when taking a macro shot is how you would frame the image. This is not a meal served from some hotel. It's just a 60-peso sizzling pork barbeque meal from one of the stores at Gateway's food court. Because we eliminated the cheap looking table and the greasy sizzling plate in order to focus more on the food, the image looks more mouthwatering that it should be. ^_^

Hate Those Wires

2007-06-19T23:25:00.000+08:00

Before

After
Ahhh yes, sunset from atop the old Intramuros wall - what a wonderful experience to share. Also, another photo op for would-be photographers. Sometimes, however, such a perfect scene could be punctuated by pesky power lines that should have never been there in the first place. If I were a better photographer, I could have found another angle or I could have searched for a better subject. But no, I was just some guy with a digital camera, on his way home, who happens to pass by this place at this moment. No time. I stopped for a few seconds, took out my camera, and click... not even the eagle-eyed snatchers noticed that I had a P23,000 piece of equipment stored in my tiny clutch bag.

I took a few simple steps to remove those wires using Adobe Photoshop. I used the 'Spot Healing Brush' (see pic below, hotkey is 'J') tool to let photoshop automatically predict the colors that I should 'brush' on to that area with the wires in order to erase tham. The Spot Healing tool will not work perfectly. Sometimes you need to manually do the task. To do this, select the eyedropper tool (Hotkey is I) and select a pixel near the object to be erased. You just selected a color. With that color, use the brush tool (hotkey B) to paint over the unwanted objects (eg, pimples, power lines). Be sure to use low opacity and/or flow so that your corrections will simply blend on to the background.

Here's another Mapua scene, off topic. This one was not edited in any way. It's a bit grainy though. I find it hard to hold the camera steady for long exposure times. I need a monopad? Hehe.

Ingat ka!

2007-06-16T23:21:00.000+08:00

I wish I could compose an image like this using an SLR camera. This was heavily altered using photoshop CS3. I dont know how photographers adjust all those settings to capture one fleeting moment. Aperture size, focal length, ISO… there are just too many factors to consider for the inexperienced. Thank God for Photoshop. Now, amateurs like me could make an otherwise normal looking image into something worth looking at. Here's the original image. Its a bad pic, I know. Hehe.

I just wanted to show how much one still image could tell. You decide what's the story behind this. Time is 12:55, she seems like she's rushing, ticket at hand, big baclaran sign at the back, a uniform. Hehe... Ooops, I gave away too much there. Im a sucker for spoilers. Hit me. :D

It's coming! It's getting close!

2007-06-16T22:30:00.000+08:00

It's near. I can already see myself buying a new videocard. Aaack. Help! Must buy a new videocard. Wanna know why? See for yourself. Here's a short clip... ahh yes, the good old days. ↑_↑

Just a note to the none-gamers: 'GG' means good game. It's the universal gesture of sportsmanship in multiplayer games. The loser could say it when he admits defeat or the winner could use it either to give the loser a chance to surrender or to admit that he had a good fight. (Sometimes gg is sometimes used to mock the losing players.)

I can't wait for starcraft 2 to hit our shores. I could only wish it would be as popular as DOTA. I dont think the net cafes here would be that willing to upgrade their systems to make way for a new game though. This might die the same way counterstrike condition zero did. But who knows? No one thought Ragnarok, with its pathetic but cute graphics, would be as popular back in its Beta Testing days. I did not get hooked though, only for a couple of weeks. I already got my hands full with my own life, no time to live an alternate one.

Bakit May Green na McDo?

Ok, so balik tayo sa malungkot na background music... At tagalog na naman muna tayo ulit... Kasi wala na naman ako sa tamang pag-iisip ngayon... kaya walang magrereclamo sa mga maling spelling o grammar ha!? getch( ); ?Haay nako, medyo hindi ko nga pala pwede isulat dito ang mga gusto kong sabihin, dahil napadami na naman yata ang pinayagan kong mga tao para magbasa ng blog ko. parang nagiging public na ulit siya kahit may password. Tangalin ko nalang kaya ang password no? Sge, balang araw... kong totopakin ako.

Ano nga ba ang sasabihin ko? Hmmm... hindi ko na alam. Ang gulo ko na naman ngayon. Hindi ko pa nasimulan ang layout kasi andaming schoolwork, at out of school work. Siguro nagsimula na naman ako na mag expect, kaya tuloy hindi ako 100% masaya lagi. Matagal ko na siyang hindi nakikita. Hindi ko pa ngayon nakakausap ng maayos. Nakakausap ko naman siya, sa text, phone, at sa chat. Pero hindi ko nasasabi ang mga gusto ko... at hindi ko naririnig ang mga gusto kong marining. (Paano ba naman, eh chat yan... siyampre buzz lang ang naririnig ko... pero hindi naman siya nag-bubuzz eh... ayan tuloy wala.) Hindi na siya makulit katulad ng dati. Ganyan pa talaga? Paulit-ulit lang ba talaga ang takbo ng kapalaran? Hmmm...

Maybe its time to take a different course and deviate from where I feel secure. Lagi naman may risk factor sa lahat na ginagawa diba? Kaya pag-iisipan ko muna. Bigyan ko ang sarili ko ng time na mag isip. (siguro mga 5 minutes) Hehe. Ah, hindi... matutulog nalang ako. Sana sagutin ako ng panaginip ko.

Sana wag ako mag expect. Kaya lang ano naman ang mapapala ko kung wala akong expectations? Take it slow? Eh... oo nga.... sge... Ask her? "Talk" to her?Hmmm... pwede rin. Sge... this is another one of those bahala na moments.

Another problem... dapat hindi ko na laging kasama yun... yung lagi kong kasama... hmmm... holding on to false hopes na hindi ko tapat pinapangarap na hindi ko nga dapat iniisip na hindi talaga dapat na ayaw ko mangyari an ayaw ko talaga. Argh! May kilala ba kayong Psychologist? Hehehe...

Must focus... isa lang goal ko. Yun. Mahal ko ang goal ko. ^_^
Sge, rundown lang:1. dont expect too much2. stop all that nonesense (included lahat na nonesense diyan)3. gawin na ang layout

I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

I will search the world
I will face its harms
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your* arms...

*ahahahahaha... yes you... *sigh*

***warning, geeky stuff ahead***

After a few days of trial and error I finally got my system to work at 100% efficiency. (LAN is still buggy, so I would say 95%) Hehe. Now my windows XP looks like this! It's a modified version that has all the good stuff that Windows Vista has minus the super heavy requirements. It looks really cool and my boot up time is now only 45 seconds, considering that I already have Norton 360 installed. Hmm, the CD also has media player 11 and IE 7 (and more) bundled into it. So no more updates after installation. The only bad news is that I reformated all my disks. Darn virus. But I needed the space anyways. It feels like a brand new system.

No chat for the past few days. One, because of the buggy connection due to the virus. Two, because of my failed attempts at installing this OS. Three, na 'confiscate' ang laptop niya. Hmmm... and... Four, because I need to study today. Haay. I miss her na. D pa rin talaga ako nagsasawa sa mukha niya, sa boses niya, sa text niya. Awww, tapos no gala this weekend. Ok lang, we had to do some stuff at school naman and I guess I could go with my highschool friends nalang ulit. Most of them have classes na kasi. Hehe.... but still... haay... miss ko siya.

Plus some stuff na hindi ko masabi dito... mwahahaha... argh.. I think I need to make a secret blog... not that this blog is not secret enough already.

Just a reminder to self, I must join that photography contest. No idea why, gusto ko lang. Hehe. Kahit I'm not that good, its a good learning experience. Hmmm... sana kasama ko siya... pero it seems like na photographers work alone. Haay, diba nga sa commercials... wala naman photographer na may kasamang 'spotter' or 'alalay.' Hehe.

Now I must return to my studies... Im sleepy... maybe bukas nalang, I mean later. Unli ako sa globe ngayon... dahil nga we have to plan for this mini reunion this weekend. Haay, wala rin pala siya load, and smart siya... hmmm...

Bahala na... hehe...

ask ko lang... sira ba cbox ko? hindi ako maka type eh. comment nalang... weee...

Iloilo Banwa Ko

2007-05-14T20:22:00.000+08:00

This is a video I made during the summer vacation... yeah right... haha... but seriously, this is a promotional video made for Iloilo, my province... (Iloilo, Banwa ko in Hiligaynon.) I would like to clear out some things before everything else. just because Iloilo is from the Visayas, more specifically Western Visayas, that does not mean that everyone there is "Bisaya." No, Bisaya are people who speak "Bisaya" (duh!), and those guys come from places like Cebu. The more popular dialect spoken in our region is Hiligaynon, which sounds very "Bisaya" to untrained ears but can be very different to people who speak it. People from Iloilo and the neighboring area are called Ilonggos. Getch( ); ?

The first scene in the video is the intersection in front of the Provincial Capitol, Atrium (one of the malls), and one end of Assumption de Iloilo. Good thing they filmed during the night, a few hours earlier and that place would have been crawling with traffic.

The blue water scene was taken near the vicinity of Fort San Pedro, an old spanish fortress which used to protect the city from invading nomadic hordes, angry pirate sea dogs, jihad-minded fanatics, Japanese suicide bombers, and the occasional wrathful fisherman with a 10-pound fish (what he did with that fish, no one knows). Stories say that a prison used to house convicts below the fort. Forgetful Spanish architects intentionally forgot t make to cells watertight so they flooded when high tides came, a one way trip to Davey Jone's locker for the convicts. Ghost stories aside, modern Fort San Pedro is now transformed into a seaside drive through restaurant specializing in grilled chicken and steamed oysters. The concrete structures overlooking Guimaras Strait serve as sea walls, which help weaken the waves to stop erosion. They can also serve as platforms for nameless silhouettes relaxing on a sleepy sunday afternoon.

The next scenes showcase all the new restaurants, sports centers, call centers, housing projects, skyscrapers, hotels, resorts, and other big city leisure spots that seem to be popping out of the ground every time I come home for another vacation. Some I don't ever recognize anymore. As long as you have the cash... its a fun place to visit. Sta. Barbara golf course, that place with a lot of grass, is one of the oldest 18 holes in the country. I dunno how old specifically, but I know it's old.

The mall with the big fountain is Robinson's Place Iloilo (what a fun mall?). That's where our home used to be, until Mr. Robinson bought the entire block and placed his big bad mall there. If you want to visit where out house used to stand, just go to the store in front of RRJ (rough rider jeans). I don't know the specific name. Another tip, if you want free Wi-Fi, just sit in front of Kublai-Khan restaurant. The stupid coffee shop beside it offers Wi-Fi for a price, without knowing that they are within reach of Kubai-Khan's signal, the imperialist dogs. Virgins beware, a big golden snake haunts the comfort rooms of this mall (or any other robinsons mall - as legend says). It is known to swallow its victims whole. The lucky ones get to marry the vile creature. I'm betting that the only priest who would marry such a couple would also be married himself. Not that there are any married priests in Iloilo. *grin*

The white sand beach is not Boracay. Believe it or not, its just a 30-minute boat ride from Iloilo. Yes, its in oil-stricken Guimaras Island. But fear not, those beaches have been spared from an oily doom. Its a wonderful place to watch the Paraw Regatta. The regatta is a sailboat race where colorful-sailed, tiny boats (see boats in the background) battle the wind and water to win the prize. We once watched that race while eating smoked lobster and other exotic seafood in a cottage by the rocky beach. A memory that stays even to this day. (I could still taste that lobster) *drool*

Modernization of the city is also in full throttle. New bridges, businesses, and opportunities appearing out of thin air almost every day. Some of my friends already have jobs in the call centers featured in the video. Iloilo city International Airport of International Standards (not its real name) has already opened and all air traffic in the area has been directed to the new place. The demand for air travel is fueled by everyone from Boracay-bound tourists to foreign English students from Korea.

Our cultural heritage are also showcased in this film. In order of appearance: Molo Church, Jaro Cathedral Bell Tower, Museo Iloilo, and Old Provincial Capitol (with the fountain in front, ground zero for all roadside distance markers). Church Hopping is a fun experience if you want to spend your holy week here. (afterwards you can go to Boracay to celebrate.) But you can always go to Boracay if you think summer is too hot. A 4000 peso budget would be enough. As long as you have fun, money doesn't really matter, but it sure could help a lot. Boracay is 4 hours away from Iloilo.

Well that's it, a short few seconds of my hometown. Hehe... be sure to contact me if your planning to visit. Our friendly operators are standing by 23 hours a day. Enjoy!

Save the Internet

2007-04-29T19:08:00.000+08:00

Lets take a short pause from my rants and raves and discuss this thing I stumbled over the internet... first see the video...

I never knew such a thing even existed until now. I don't know how this would affect our third world country but by the looks of things... this seems bad. If those first-worlders look distressed because of this, I think I have reason to be worried. Internet cost could triple. And you just don't know how the internet affects the lives of every Juan Dela Cruz in this country.

Bank transactions are done over the internet. Power plants synchronize their outputs over the internet. Media circulates over the internet. Our enrollment, our grades, our curriculum, our schedules are processed over the internet. And if I heard right, doesn't the Philippines have the most Friendster user's in the world? What about my little blog! Crunchyroll! YouTube! Yahoo! OTshare! Kupalogs! Mapua Ownage!

So unless you lived under a stone for the past decade, you should see the importance of the internet in making our little lives a lot more meaningful. I don't know any way of helping solve this problem but I know a certain website who does.

www.savetheinternet.com

Damn politicians, damn greedy companies. Its the same everywhere. Not only in our country. I can seem to lose the feeling of being in the control of those big, greedy, companies.

I twiddle my thumbs...

Reality Check

2007-04-13T02:28:00.000+08:00

Holeh heck! Im starting to realize the negative consequences of my choice to rejoin my old "barkada" for next term.

Sure I need them, they're a great help when it comes to projects, assignments, study groups, and most other academic activities that could even include some "secretary work" like reminding me of deadlines and doing my homework. But if you've been a close reader of my blog, you must already know that life turned to hell when cupid struck me with a poison arrow. The rest is history, but yeah... I had to leave them for the sake of my sanity.

Six or so months later... time has healed most of the wounds and I was ready to be friends again. They were willing to accept me... miss na rin nila ako. Great, diba? Life has been good to me during my absence sa barkada. Most of my teachers were cool, kaya konte lang ang academic problems. I met a lot of new people, made new friends, and became closer to most of my old acquaintances. Adding more friends to my inventory would'nt hurt right? Especially when those friends were once really close to you. I could'nt be more mistaken.

I checked my friendster after a long absence and found it loaded with activity. Amidst all the clutter her message stuck out like a sore thumb. It was just a few harmless words, "ang pics natin sa MOA nandun kay mr chuchuchu." "Ok fine, so what I dont care... Sge nga click ko nga ang profile niya. Matagal ko na rin kasi hindi nabuksan yun. Recently ko lang ulit dinagdag sa friends list ko yun." That was when reality hit me.

A lot of things has happened to her during the past six months, the most surprising was that... basing on the comments of her friends, and her additude towards that person's account... she met someone. Big deal, right? I should not really care since I myself met a few special people during that time. But why am I struck with this overhelming pang of jealousy? Sabi ko pa nga nung una ko nakita ang new pics niya, ang pangit na niya dahil tumaba siya, umitim pa, ang gulo pa rin ng buhok.... yadda yadda yadda... but why do I still feel this way? I dont like her physically, and ayaw na ayaw ko rin ang attitude niya... pero why naiinggit ako?

I must be strong and look away. I wish I had a hand to hold right now.

***

Wala ka nga load! Yes! That's just the answer that I needed. Kala ko kasi kung ano na ang nangyari sayo. Wala lang... miss na kasi kita. Medyo sparse na ang times na meron tayong communication ngayon. Sana maayos na phone niyo. Sana I'll see you soon. Thanks for everything po. Sana you'll still be there next term. Dito lang ako always. ^_^

Pensive

2007-04-11T01:09:00.000+08:00

pen·sive [pénssiv]adjective

deeply thoughtful: thinking deeply about something, especially in a sad or serious manner

Microsoft® Encarta® 2006. © 1993-2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Im supposed to write down a long, long blog article tonight because I've got a lot of things on my mind. I mean a lot, it's been so long since I last posted something. However, I got so engrossed in trying to download some "homebrew" or software for my PSP over this slothlike connection that I lost most of my zeal. Then again, this stupid connection is getting on my nerves so while the different forums and download sites load... I'll type away my rants and raves in another window... it's offpeak hours from 12am to 8am so internet is free... two thumbs up! yey!.

Today's not so bad. Woke up at the usual time. Around 11am... ^_^ Parents were away trying to find a highschool for my brother so we had to wait a while for lunch. Of course I had the option of zapping some hotdogs with the microwave again, but my parents usually bring home tastier goodies than those hotdogs so I decided against it. It was letchon manok this time so we had a hearty lunch. =).

The boybands were texting DOTA at 2pm but I didnt come. Me and bro were scheduled to play badminton that afternoon so I had to cancel on some of my "appointments." Besides, it has been almost a week since my last workout so my cheeks were starting to inflate from all the food I've been gobbling up. He beat me 3-0 but thats ok, I always win the second set but don't have enough stamina to beat him for the third. He had formal training anyway and won silver in the district meets. Im still better at painball. Whoohoo... FYI, badminton at City Sports costs only 50 pesos per head during off peal hours. And as long as there's a free, non-hourly basis court - you can play all you want.. even on the rubberized surfaces. Cool. :P.

Ok I admit it, I'm kinda obsessed with my PSP that I'm currently spending a lot of cash on it this summer. On the first week, I bought a crystal case for 500 pesos - that's to protect it from scratches and shock while I'm playing. To lessen the chances of me dropping my precious - I bought a wrist strap, which is more of a chain since its made of metal. Thats 70 pesos. So that I can play pirated games, I had it upgraded to version 3.30 OE-A'. That's an open edition firmware by dark alex for you tech heads. Since no one in Iloilo had the technology or knowhow (actually I had, but again, im an internet connection deprived individual) we had to send the unit to manila for two days. The "package" comes with four games for 2500. Amf! If only I had a DSL connection I could do it myself... tsktsktsk. Anways, my PSP is working fine and Im currently playing grand theft auto vice city stories. More recently after badminton practice, me wnd bro went strait to SM. My sister is practicing Hula dancing there so we met up with my parents. I had some cash at hand so again I was temted to buy another peripheral for this accursed unit. This time its a remote control for 380 pesos. This will enable me to play MP3s while my PSP is safely tucked away in my bag or something. I still have a lot of things on my list but those will have to wait. I need cash. Argh!

Ok, straight to the meaty stuff.

I feel so lost. I dont know what to do. Sometimes I feel like quitting on her. Erm... girls... yeah... its another issue about girls.... or a certain girl this time... "thee girl" ... .... or so I thought.

She's got so many special people in her life that it's getting hard to compete... to get attention... I wont expound on any of them but I can tell you this: my radar is picking up at least three blips.

Well, all is fair. I dont think I want to abandon ship yet, although I've had a few sleepless nights thinking about the idea.I hope everything will turn out to be ok. Sana nga wala lang talaga siyang load. T.T

As the song goes: To think by now I've learned, you play with fire and you get burned. But fire can be, oh so warm, and that's why I've returned...

Singing sad love songs, despising love flicks (yeah a lot of them were shown on the local channels this holy week), and hating most of everything aroung me. Argh, Im becoming a sentimental fool again, trying to view the world with fading rose tinted glasses... my proverbial circle of life is starting to complete another revolution. *sigh*

Preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.... I still have all ten fingers crossed..

..so help me God.

"He felt no fear, only a heightened sense of things..."

OMG!!! ito ang pinakamasayang araw ko sa buong term na to... sa buong taon... sa buong world... sa buong universe! Nyahahaha!

Woke up at around 9, tapos konteng internet work muna... then texted yunis... eh un pala she forgot her cell and mom niya ang nakasagot. Hahaha... paano na kami magkikita eh wala siya cell? Nooooo! I asked tita nalang how to contact her and she gave me Bam's number (yung isa pa namin na kasama sa tennis.) It turns out na Bam is not coming today so hindi rin sila magkasama ni yunis. Waa... after hesitating for some time and 4 slices of spam I decided to trust our agreement to meet sa pergula (place with many arches) at 12. Muntik na nga ako na late, pero mabilis si manong FX driver kaya on time pa rin ako. Haay, buti nagkita din kami dun sa shop ng tita niya. Hehe.

Long bus ride tapos long wait sa pure gold... pero ok lang... ang saya ng buhay kapag wala ka na ibang iniintindi. Tapos na ang term eh! No more subjects to worry about.

Tapos I met yuyu's dad na rin... nakakatakot... medyo maangas... eheheh... pero mabait din. Weee... I learned later na pareho kami name iba lang spelling... Cesar... Hehe. Ate Adobo (chicken and liver) with yuyu, wine glass pa ginamit namin para sa tubig. Thank you tita para sa masarap na 2nd lunch ko. Hehe.

Coach upped the ante during tennis practice. After a review of the basic strokes (dahil lagi ko nalang nakakalimutan) he positioned me between the backline and the service line... nag level na me. hehehe... Minsan mali mali pa rin ang strokes dahil hindi ko pa makuha ang tamang distance sa ball... pero I'll learn.. soon. Hehehe. Grabe, takbuhan na talaga. Tapos ang sakit ng wrist ko sa service practice. Argh! I still suck sa service... pero kung tama malakas pala ako mag serve... thank you volleyball experience... hehehe...

AMF, ang galing ni yunisee!!! @_@ Oi pasakay sa Sta. Fe ha! Nyahahaha... astig... wohooo.

Tapos on my way home bumili ako ng gatorade sa 7/11. Kala nila nawala ako... hehehehe... disappearing act. Nyahaha...

A few minutes into th trip my orgmates txted na baka pwede pa ako humabol sa ice skating nila sa MOA. Wohoo. Eh dadaanan ko naman talaga ang MOA kaya pumunta na me. Hehe... 280 na naman ang damage. Waaa! Pero worth it naman. Kaya lang ang baho ng changing area. Basa pa ang floor kaya nabasa tuloy socks ko. Natagalan pa ako nung humiram ako ng skates kasi kinausap pa ako ng guy sa counter. He saw my racket and he said na he plays tennis din. So we talked about tennis for about 5 minutes. Argh... nahiya naman ako sabihin na "kuya akin na nga ang skates at locker key ko!" Good thing na naging friends kami... kasi my racket wont fit sa lockers kaya iniwan ko nalang kay kuya.

First time ko on ice... dun ko lang nalaman na magaling pala ako (without raising my chair?) hehehe... once again thank you roller blades experience. Mahirap lang pala mag stop. At first sobrang nakakapagod kasi effort talaga mag balance. Pero after I got the hang of it I was running circles around my orgmates na. And kaya ko na mag run high speed laps around the rink. Wohoo, grabe ang saya. It satisfied my need for speed. Yabah! Fell down once though, scratched my (already tennis worn) palms.

Then at around 7 we dacided to eat na... had to withdraw... naubos funds ko! amfness ness ness! We ate at Chef d' Angelo's and hindi ko alam kung ano ang gusto ko. Sabi ko sa kanila na i-order nalang nila ako ng katulad sa order nila. Yun pala they were planning to pig out. Grabe... spag, pizza, one huge chicken breast, one huge burger, one big serving of fries, one sumo size red tea (from tokyo tokyo), and two glasses of water... yun ang dapat kong kainin! Waaa, so for sure hindi ko naubos. Hehe... ate the burger and chicken only a few minutes ago dito sa condo.

Grabe, this super fun day sure took its toll on my pockets and sa katawan ko. This will sure hurt tomorrow morning. Waaa... tapos paint ball pa daw kami sa sunday sa isang forest/island resort dun samin. Waaa... grabe... grabe....

Checked my grades, no grades yet pero "taken" na ang lahat na subjects! Whoho! That'l do! One big exclamation mark to one hell of a fun day. Hindi ko kaya kung araw araw ganito. These days should happen at least once or twice a year lang. Haay. Thank you to all the people who made my day. Hehe. Thanks po talaga... I'll miss you guys. See you in four weeks. =)

btw, yung sabi ko na joke hindi joke un... ~.^ hehe...

On the last day...

2007-03-16T02:27:00.000+08:00

Dude look! Its off the Charts! Hehe... What did I do?

I don't know what I did, it must be the video... it must be the fake hair (which has been edited out na...) hehe... but my blog is nearing ninong quality page views.... although the visits stay constant at around 14... but 40 page views? Cool, its an all time high.

Haay, Sana pasado ang com exam ko kanina... darn that re-test... tsktsktksk... another subject in the danger zone - industrial lab, which is at 67.8%... the passing is 70%. But I know the teacher will be adjusting the passing grade to 65% so I'm in the safe zone as of this time. I need your prayers guys.

I was so stressed and down so low this morning that I decided to consult the Bible. I didn't understand any of the phrases I read... hmm, God's trunk line must've been busy. Anyways, answering my communications exam was a combination of intelligent guesses and eenie-meanie-minie-moes, but I think I should score a good enough grade of at least 14/50...

Today was the last day of school. Yes! One more term crossed out, 6 more to go - if all goes well. Celebrated by sleeping from around 5pm to 830pm. Woke up to watch Mythbusters, forgot to remind yuyu about it. Hmmm... Tsktsktsk...

Was so sleepy I couldn't hear things right. The guard called and I thought he said that Jollibee is ready for pick-up. I thought no one ordered Jollibee so I ignored it. It must have been a mistake. I learned later that it wasn't Jollibee who was waiting but Jhonnie... our driver. Tsktsktsk... He must've waited for at least 30 minutes.

Got the tennis pictures at last... after a long wait. Hehe... Thanks Yunisee! Will post pics later...

Studied how to use homebrews for the PSP... its kinda technical so even I am finding a hard time absorbing all the info. Im thinking of reconsidering Venz's assignment, maybe something more subtle. Im already excited! Yeah... PSP I'll be ready for you.

Played Dota till about 2:15 and started typing this blog. I'm still tired but not sleepy. Yawn, or maybe I am. Oh well. Set alarm for 8am... Tennis practice at 12... then I should secure my baggage for tomorrow's flight. Lost my plane ticket already once so Im not going to let that happen again.

Its a stressful day that ended well. I'm all smiles tonight. =D

Vector Vector

2007-03-14T00:51:00.000+08:00

In order to release my frustrations, I decided to do something that would distract me from my problems. This was actually inspired by AJ and Pueyo a few months ago and I promised them I would learn it before I went back home again. Well, since finals are almost over and I got little else to do, I guess its time I got started. Its called vector art.

Now, the great pictures editor will not only edit images but also create images of his own. In technical terms ,Vector art is like using equations to represent shapes, lines, and figures. So no matter how you resize the image, quality will not be lost because the shapes, lines, and figures adjust themselves accordingly. Most modern anime are done using vector are. Other examples include flash programs, cartoons (powerpuff girls? Dexters Lab.)

Here's a more accurte description from the wiki...

Vector graphics (also called geometric modeling or object-oriented graphics) is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons, which are all based upon mathematical equations to represent images in computer graphics. It is used by contrast to the term raster graphics, which is the representation of images as a collection of pixels (dots).

I got it right didnt I? Hehe... did the first explaination without searching the web... so give me a little credit, okey?

Opposite to vector art are resterized images, bitmaps, jpegs. A resterized image is made up of a rectangular grid of pixels. Resizing, filtering, and other forms of manipulation could in fact distort or lessen the qualtiy of the image.

Here's a comparison:

Notice how the image's pixels show up when zoomed in on a bitmap while the vector image on top retains its anime like quality. Hehe...

The bitmaps that im used to working with are usually done using paint or photoshop. I found out that you actually use a different set of tools to create vector images. Programs include Macromedia Flash (Im used to this, see banner on top), Adobe Illustrator (I used this before but never had a grasp of ow it really works, Manga Editor (1.27 Gb, too big of a download for one night), and last but not the least, the very cool Inkscape (Its just 20+ Mb, and its free... click link if you like.)

For the past few minutes I've been trying to learn the basics without reading the tutorials. Maybe I'll read them tomorrow. For the meantime, I've come up with my very first vector art image... (excluding the TNB graphix editor poster w/c I made using Flash.) For this image, I only used Inkscape for the tracing of the bitmap and the basic manipulation of the shapes... then exported the png file and used photoshop to compile the jpeg file. (oops, too much geeky stuff... hehe...)

Its not that good but it made my one happy bloke... hehe... need more time to familiarize self with the different functions...

Sa office po yan and that's me... hehe... actually I hand-drew (actually mouse-drew) only a few lines and shapes. The rest are computer generated. If you cant do something yourself you must find the right tools to help you. Hehe...

Now for my next project... eheh... astig... shading and colors naman next... plus more advanced lines and mouse strokes...

I'll do my best. Ganbatte Iyan-Taichou!!! \(",)/

Ayan... pinalitan... hehe... sana tama na.... weee... thanks...

Just downloaded Adobe Illustrator (363 Mb) and used some tools to mouse-out my Japanese name, Shisaru (Caesar).... Hehehe... I hope I got it right...

Will Someone Please Tell Me the Rules!!!

I just hate it when I don't understand the goings on in this world! Argh!!! Pissed. Pbbbttt! Argh!!! What? What did I do? What should I do? I wish I had a simulator... I wish I had some kind of equation to solve for person X's reaction to action Y, if factors J and K are involved. Why can't I get a full day's worth of happiness anymore? Why should it end a few hours before I sleep? Am I just thinking negatively again? What did I do to deserve this?

I tried...

I don't know how far I went...

...but I have a feeling that in the end it wont matter....

...again.

That's it. Haays. I guess Ichigo was right... for some people life is not a line that extends to infinity but a circle that goes round and round and round and round.

I don't want to play their games anymore...

...play with fire and you get burned.
but fire can be, oh so warm
and thats why I returned...

Argh!!!!! >__<

for the record... otaku noel-san said na I look like itchigo sa pic sa taas... must be the hair. hmp.

Transferred from last post:

Amfness... as in wa... grabe... kasi waaa! shit im scared. Kasi while typing this... around 10:30... kasama ko kasi ang rum8 ko na si Ian and GF niya, si cherry. Nag-aaral si cherry tapos si Ian tulog sa sofa kasi 3am na umuwi kagabi. Waa... eh ako naman nagsusulat ng blog na to... about dying dying po oh... (see caption above) tapos naghahanap sana ng bagong BG music para sa blog ko... tapos nag search din ako ng spelling ng "dying" kasi hindi ako sure... sabi ko pa nga dieing... mali mali.... gnun... bsta... tapos a minute later bigla akong kinausap ni cherry... "Ces alam mo (Caesar kasi tawag sakin ng Highskul friends ko) nung tiningnan ko ang sarili ko sa mirror niyo, wala akong ulo." Glassy eyed na ako ngayon... waaa... sabi ko pray lang sila. Waaa... kasi may nagpakamatay dito sa tower nung isang araw. Tumalon siya from 18 floor tapos sumabit sa 8th floor. May sinisigaw about Yaweh. Buhay pa kasi siya, sa hostpital pa namatay mga 5 hours later.... aw men shit! Scared. Aw scared. Waaaa... saka ko na tataposin to... waaa... must find distractions. I'll edit out this text nalang later....

Feel ko pa naman sana mag drama ngayon!!! Hindi natuloy. Argh!!!! Waaaa! Tingnan niyo oh, str8 english pa sana yan! Waaaa.

Ok, so scary na dito sa bahay. You dont want to look at the mirrors here. Waa... hope the hype will go away soon. People still talk about it sa elevator... amf... anyways tinaggal ko na ang scary stuff dun sa last post ko and made a new post for it here. Taposin ko nalang un if I have time, baka bukas.

Last day of exams na kasi bukas.... wish me luck!

Ganbarimasu! (-_-)

Spartan Law (unfinished)

2007-03-11T19:41:00.000+08:00

After tennis practice last Saturday (and after a whole school day's worth of exams)... I watched the movie 300 along with some friends. We liked the movie so much that we downloaded the graphic novel (comic book) from which the movie was based from. ( For those of you with raised eyebrows, it's called peer sharing - not piracy.) Anywho... here are a few of my favorite scenes from the comic book... just right click and open in a new window if you want to read the text. For you lazy worts, I did some captioning of my own... And once again sorry to all my non-broadband readers.

The movie was actually based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, the same baggy-eyed. pen-genius who gave us Sin City. (Note to self, download sin city... the movie and the comic book). The comic book itself was based on (actual historical?) events told in some books, the title of which I don't know. What I do know is that the legend of the mighty 300 who stopped 100 nations withstood the test of time and still stands today to leave most listeners, readers, and moviegoers awestruck each time the tale is told. Warning... movie spoiler! If you haven't seen the movie or been listening to your history lessons... look away young Spartan. However, I assume that most of us have already heard this tale...

The movie starts with the a boy, a young spartan taken away from his mother, driven hard by his mentors, and tested for his strength each day of his young life. Like any regular young spartan, he is left in the wild - cold and hungry, to be initiated as a man... he faces danger, kills wild animals yada yada yada... The boy who was left for dead returns home a king... you king Leonidas. In the scene above, a messenger arrives in Sparta to ask them to submit to the rule of the god-king Xerxes. As most of use have already seen in the trailers, this is the scene where Leonidas kicks the arrogant messenger into the dark bottomless abyss while screaming his trademark line, "this is Sparta".

Leonides provokes a war. However, the elders, bribed by lust and gold, disagree and say that the will of the gods are against it. (Breast exposure scene here, its an R13 movie after all. Kids these days... they're allowed to see more things than we did) Disappointed by the priests decision, Leonides leaves the "inbred swine" and decides to take matter on his own. He goes for "a walk," along with 300 of his personal bodyguard. As the caption says- they march.

They march north. Knowing very well that there they will meet their doom. But death in battle is the Spartans' idea of a glorious death. They would be no better way of dying.

Due to some unforseen events, this article was cut short and posted before completion. (See Terror at 2617 post) Thank you for your patience... this post will be finished as soon as possible.

The Proverbial Waters are Calm Tonight

How Ironic. I cant sleep!!!

I need to wake up by 3am TODAY! Yes, that's right! Not tomorrow, but today! That's in three hours! Yet I can't sleep.

Today was another no-class-yet-I-have-to-go-to-school day! Reason 1: I had to pass two take home exams and my portfolio. I lost 1 of 2 exams which should be included in the said portfolio. Good thing a little sweet talk got the better side of my teacher and he agreed to record the score I told him. Hmmm, I should have lied... but anyways... 120/150 was good enough so I told the truth. Reason 2: Its deliberation day and we had to deliver our "judgment." Poor probi's. I knw how it feels when you put so much effort into something yet in the end it wont even matter. Trust me. Been there. Done that. Anyways, congratulations to Tessa and Venz (I hope i spelled your names right). To Harold, Ezrah, and Sherwin. As I said, never leave this office without taking with you all the things you've learned. It doesn't stop here. Be better persons and come back and give us a better show next time.

Tapos ano pa ginawa ko? hmmm... then kumain kami sa cantunan! Kahit gutom ako dapat may control. Kasi may party sa bahay. HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN!!! Hehehe... salamat sa food. Dami! Oyster (talaba?), blue marlin, fried chicken, crab, seafood soup, pakwan, at inihaw na liempo! Amf naman! As if kaya naming ubusin un! Apat lang kami. Hehe. Eh di yun, binigay nalang namin sa guard. Hehe. Tulungan sa Dishes, ako ang nagsasabon, si ryan ang taga tapos. Hehe. Teamwork, kasi Hari si Ian ngayon - Bday niya eh.

Waaaa... pinapagod ko lang ang sarili ko sa pag-iisip!!! Kelangan ko na kasi matulog! Waaaa! Buti pa si Yunisee. Napagod na sa pag-operate niya ng spotlight. Hehe. Congrats pala sa presentation niyo. Alam ko na you did well kahit d ko nakita. Hehehe. =)

Amf! D pa ako antok... need to sleep!!!

Wala lang... masaya ako ngayon dahil bumalik na siya sa buhay ko... Sana ganito nalang lagi... :D

Another Rainy Day

2007-02-26T03:25:00.000+08:00

It just keeps on getting better...

Haay, siguro naman ay pansin ng karamihan sa inyo na hindi normal ang pagka-hyper ko noong nakaraan na mga araw? Kasi.. kasi.. eh... hindi ko kinaya ang mga nangyayari... hehe...

Trackback nalang tayo ng ilang araw... Pag labas ko kasi ng builder... wala lang, ugali ko lang talaga na lumabas at pumasok sa office ng wala lang... ayun... going back... pag labas ko sa builder... nakita ako ng mga dati kong barkada... siyempre sama sama silang lahat, halos kalahati ng top 20 ng batch namin... birds of the same feather blah blah blah kasi... gets?

Ayan, nung nakita nila ako xempre miss na daw nila ako etc etc... asaran at konteng holding hands pa... hmmm... pero ok lang un... tropa naman un eh. Sabi nila clasmate na daw kami next term. Sabi ko naman, sge try ko... kahit isang subject muna. Pero may isa pa rin sa kanila na hindi pumapansin sakin... pero hayaan mo na muna xa...

Nag isip isip ako...

Ilang araw ang nakaraan, nagkaroon ng track orientation... required kami na puntahan yun so pumunta ako. Nasa harap ako nakaupo para kunyari kinikunan ko ng pics ang speakers. Pa epal lang. Medyo boring kaya hindi lagi naka focus ang attention ko sa mga nagsasalita sa harap. Sigurado naman kasi ako na Automation ang kukunin ko kaya hindi na ako nakikinig. Palingon-lingon sa kaliwa at sa kanan dahil hindi mapakali at gusto ko nang umalis. Nakita ko siya. Muntik ko nang nakalimutan paano huminga.... haay.

Pagkatapos nun, eh di tapos na ang seminar, akyat na ulit ako sa office. Pagdating ko dun nagpapasama si melissa. Required din sila at wala daw siyang kasama. Eh ayoko na nga! Boring yun eh! Waaa... pero sige na nga... baka makita ko pa siya ulit. Pagdating ko dun eh di yun, bored to death naman ulit. Buti nalang nandyan na si melissa at may kausap ako kahit papano. Damating yung dalawa kong katropa, pero wala siya. Haay. May clase pala sila at hindi lang pumasok ang dalawa. Siya naman dahil model student pumasok pa rin. Wala lang, pinag-usapan nalang namin ulit kung ano na ang mga pangyayari sa buhay namin, sa buhay niya... etc etc...

Nung hapon na yun, sabi ko sge... kahit mga dalawang subject na tayo kaclase...

Gabi na, hindi pa rin ako maka tulog... hindi ko alam bakit ko ginawa yun... pero nag text ako sa kanya... tinanong ko kung pwede akong sumama sa kanila next term. Sabi niya "bakit hindi..." Natulog ako ng nakangiti... kahit yun lang ang natanggap ko na msg sa kanya... mahimbing na ang tulog ko at naganda ang gising sa sunod na araw.

Simula nun hindi ko na iniiwasan ang mga lugar kung saan sa tingin ko na mkikita ko siya. Sa maikling salita hinahanap-hanap ko na siya. Gusto ko na siya makita ulit... Lagi na akong dumadaan sa ORG. Tinitingan ko na ang mga larawan niya sa friendster. Sa hallway sa second floor north building.... (dun kasi ang bulletin board ng IECEP at officer na siya dun.) Gusto ko siya makita... pero natatakot pa rin ako na makita siya. Minsan nagagalit. Minsan nalulungkot... pero gusto ko pa rin siya makita.

February 22... yung mahaba kong post... tinext ko siya... feel ko kasi mag drama sa blog... wala lang... feel ko lang kasi pinag-usapan siya namin ni kuya Ace. Sabi niya nag-usap daw sila. Ang sabi daw sa kanya na miss na "niya" ako... hmmm... hindi ko lang alam. Pero napaisip ako nung gabi, kaya gumawa na naman ako ng isang madramang entry. Tapos kala ko birthday na niya... or na malapit na ang birthday niya. Wala ako paki, tinext ko siya... hindi nag reply.

Yun pala ay tulog na... nag reply din siya ng umaga at sabi niya hindi pa niya birthday ang araw na yun. Pero ok lang daw, salamat. Haay. Eh d ang saya na naman ng araw ko nun... nagrereply din pala siya. Kahit medyo napahiya ako... ok lang... may practical kami sa com... gusto ko magpaturo sa mga kasama niya... pero sa totoo ay gusto ko lang talaga siya makita. Nagkita din kami pero hindi pa kami nagpansinan. Ok lang... pwede na yun.

Ang sabi ko sa post na yun, tandaan: "If history should repeat itself... I hope it does it sooner."

Pagkalipas ng dalawang araw! Gumagawa ako ng prototype sa office... biglang may kumatok... sila na naman... mga x-tropa. Nagpapatulong sa pag etch ng PCB! Nagulat ako at kasama siya. Hindi kasi lumalapit sa office yun eh... pero ngayon kasama na siya... Hindi pa rin kami nagpansinan at ang kausap ko lang ay ang mga kasama niya. Pero ok na yun.

Dun sila gumawa ng prototype sa may fireexit dahil may ginagawa pa ako at hindi ko pa sila matulungan. Alam ko na nandun sila kaya nagpatulong din ako. Kunyari lang. Hehe. Nagtanong ako paano magkabit ng antenna. Pagdating ko sa fire exit, yun pala ay naguusap na sila na papasok sila sa office para dun na gumawa kasi kumpleto ang mga materials dun. Waw! Nanghihina ako... hehe... hindi ko na mahawakan ng maayos ang soldering iron. Miss na rin daw nila ang office... hindi pa rin kami nagpapansinan pero nakikita ko siya... ok na yun.

Dumating ang oras na kailangan ko humiram ng resistor dahil may kulang ako. Sabi ng isa niyang kasama ay dun daw ako humiram sa kanya kasi siya ang may hawak ng parts. Wala ako choice. Ang first sentence na sinabi ko sa harap niya ay: "Meron ba kayong 4.7 Kilo Ohms?" Hehe... unuulit ulit ko pa nga kasi parang nasira ang audio player sa utak ko. Nagkaroon ng short. Ang sagot niya: "Ano yun dear?"

Hindi malaking bagay yun dahil lagi niyang tinatawag na "dear" ang mga katropa niya at minsan instinct na niya talaga na tawagin na "dear" ang kahit sino. Pero kahit na, ahahahaa!!! Naguusap na kami!

Hindi natapos dun ang araw. Nung gabi na, mga 920 na yun. Hindi pa ako naka uwi dahil tinatapos ko pa talaga ang prototype. Nag quit na ako kaya inayos ko na at tinambak ang mga gamit ko sa locker ko. Biglang may nag text... "Ean, may variable capacitor ka pa diyan? Pahiram naman." Wala akong load!!! Emergency!!! Pa load kahit kanino!!! Tumawag ako kay melissa! Melissa! pa load emergency! Yun, may 50 load agad. Tinxt ko xa. Oo meron ako, san ba kayo? Tapos sabi niya, ah wag nalang pala. Bukas nalang. Haay sayang, nagpaalam nalang ako.

Dinala ko pa rin ang mga bagay na gusto niyang hiramin para madali nang ibigay bukas. Hindi pa ako nakalabas sa school at tumawag siya.

"Oh ano yun? Saan ka? Kailangan mo? Huh? Saan ka?"

"Ean, kita tayo. Nandito ako sa dorm, basta sa likod ng Mapua... deretcho ka lang."

"Sge nandyan na ako..."

Ganun lang kabilis ang pangyayari... hehe... nung dumating ako nagaantay na siya sa baba. Binigay ko ang mga kailangan niya at nag-usap usap ulit kami tungkol sa dorm niya. First time na nagtitinginan kami sa mata habang nag-uusap.

"Nandiyan sila sa taas, gumagawa pa rin kami ng prototype, hindi pa gumagana... gusto mong umakyat?"

"Eh girls dorm yan eh! Pwede ba ako diyan?"

"Ok lang yun, kuya guard... clasmate ko po... gagawa lang kami ng project."

Yun... Nagtagal ako hanggan 1030... hehe...

Malayo ang nilakad ko papunta lawton... walang FX o Bus. Puno lahat kaya nilakad ko ulit papunta city hall. Nakasakay din ako sa huli... trapik! Friday kasi. Pagod na ako. Pero ok lang... ok lang ok lang! Masaya ako!

Quote ko ulit sarili ko... (see post noong feb 22, scroll down lang)

"Kahit sa kahoy na sofa mo nalang ULIT ako matutulog... kahit gagawin ko ULIT lahat na project mo... kahit na lalakarin ko ULIT galing sa office papunta LRT and back... kahit na utus-utusan mo ULIT ako na bumili ng almusal natn... kahit na... kahit na... haays"

Double Quote:

"If history should repeat itself... I hope it does it sooner."

Grabe naman! Ano ang ginawa ko? Ang bilis naman... nakinig si history.... ah hindi... nakinig si God. For the first time kasi sa buong taon nagsimba ako noong sunday ng week na yun. Haay. Thank you Lord! Sobra sobra naman ang rewards mo sakin dahil lang dun. Salamat Lord.

Haay... tapos sa sunod na araw, hindi na siya nahiya na hanapin ako. Na magpatulong. Na yayain ako na pumunta sa Mcdo. Na kausapin ng mga wala lang na bagay. Haays...

Tapos kanina lang, gumawa na kami ng sched para next term... ka block kami. Sa lahat na subject.

Tapos ngayon ang totoo niyang birthday... binati ko siya 12:01... sabi ko pa, dahil birthday ni Reign, kailangan may rain... hehe... Corny daw, tapos nagtawanan lang kami. =)

It just keeps on getting better... =)

Tumutugtug pa rin ang Only reminds me of you na background ng blog ko. Haays, cant forget that song.

Salamat po Hanna... Salamat. Happy Birthday ulit.... salamat po... salamat....

It just keeps on getting better... =)

Memory Refreshed

2007-02-22T01:47:00.000+08:00

Only Reminds Me Of You
by: MYMP

I see you, beside me
It’s only a dream [minsan meron pa rin talaga]
A vision of what used to be [what used to be... haay]
The laughter, the sorrow [daming sorrow tol, pero dami rin pala laughter when you think about it... haay]
Pictures in time
Fading to memory [hindi ko na maalala ang blogsite mo, middle initial mo, phone number mo, kung paano ka mag smile, minsan magalit, and a lot of other stuff. Pero who can forget that face? Haay, Remember ko pa rin lahat na memories attached sa lahat na shirt na suot mo. Remember ko pa rin ang tunog ng boses mo. Ang smell ng hair mo kung umaga. Haays. Pero I know your landline pa rin... hehe... 642XXXX... I wont mention it...baka tawagan ka ng ibang boys]

How could I ever let you go ["Ean matalino ka, gamitin mo naman sana" -quote mo to]
Is it too late to let you know [I guess Kuya Ace and Kuya Nico and Nine, and Tonix, and Chen, and everyone else were right... I shouldnt have done what I did. Is it too late na talaga? I never had a chance in the first place. Pero still, kahit na friends lang tayo. We had something going on. Pero I was never satisfied. haays]

Chorus:
I tried to run from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you [Its weird, kasi whenever I don't expect to see you, I do... and sometimes... gusto pa rin kita makita... pero you never show up.]
When i turn out all the lights
Even the night
It only reminds me of you [ To name a few more things: TNB office, North 4th floor, West Building, Blogger, Bahay mo, Bahay ni Cam, Condo ko, Logic, Automation, Filipino, Math, and movie na Shutter, Swimming Pool, Badminton, Volleyball, Prototype, Birthday, February, IECEP, IEEE, Fire Exit, MRT... bakit ganun? Parang Virus! Na infect lahat na memory ko... and I thought nakalimutan na kita... amf! Si kuya ace kanina kasi! Nang asar pa... napaisip ako tuloy!]

I needed my freedom [Bwiset na freedom na yan! Kahit sa kahoy na sofa mo nalang ULIT ako matutulog... kahit gagawin ko ULIT lahat na project mo... kahit na lalakarin ko ULIT galing sa office papunta LRT and back... kahit na utus-utusan mo ULIT ako na bumili ng almusal natn... kahit na... kahit na... haays]
That’s what I thought
But I was a fool to believe [Bobo ko!]
My heart breaks while you cried [Umiyak ka ba? Na miss mo ba talaga ako? Nag react ka rin ba kahit konte?]
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see

Everything we’ve been through before
Now it means so much more, yeah [You won't realize how important something is until you lose it.]

[repeat Chorus]

Only you

Please come back to me
I’m down on my knees
Oh can’t you see [Asaness, pero libre umasa...]

How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know
[How could I ever let you go]
[How could I ever let you go]
[How could I ever let you go]
[How could I ever let you go]
[How could I ever let you go]
[How could I ever let you go]

[repeat Chorus]

First column ko under the name "Refresh," at last may column na me...

Man, the dominant species of this planet has always survived because of his wits. Fire made caves warmer and food more nutritious, the wheel made moving mountains feel like a walk in the park, and the microchip made the world into one global village. However, these changes were not always met with blaring trumpets, velvet ropes, and red carpets. Technology has always had its fair share of rotten Easter eggs thrown its way.

Over the years, eyebrows continued to rise as people met everyday change with caution and skepticism. Villagers burned witches for practicing dark magic – a term more known today as chemistry. The oldies were scandalized as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison strummed their guitars. And Satan has manifested his Earthly presence in the form of the boob tube. With all the said examples, it would have been inevitable for the researchers to turn scornful eyes on other technologies as well.

Nowadays, the television isn’t the only one to be subpoenaed whenever a death occurs in a nearby neighborhood. There are the cell phones that fry our brains and shrink our balls whenever we make a phone call to mom. There are the calculators, whose improvement is inversely proportional to the arithmetic skills of college students. There are these computer games that give us the freedom to kill old ladies for driving too slow. The list goes on: from exploding compact disks to cancerous sweetening agents – both inescapable necessities for some people today.

The question has just been waiting to be asked: have we been enslaved by our own technology? Victims of our own success? For as technology continues to improve – so does its complexity. It would take seven steps to program a microwave to defrost a pound of fish, four steps to set your cell phone to silent mode, and five steps to save this article and shut down the computer. For people who don’t bother to read the manual, the world has become one big puzzle. Reason enough for multimillion dollar technical support industries to be established. But who cares, more jobs for us Mapuans, right?

On a different light, there are some people who view technology as a god-sent gift. Video games are said to heighten the senses and bestow us a handful of skills. Television and radio give a whole new different meaning to renaissance. Cell phones make dad’s Saudi job seem like a walk across the street. Ultimately, it would be how we use the technologies that would judge their worth.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I feel like watching some people shoot each other, I cook some popcorn in the microwave and use my cell phone to text some friends to come over. After the movie, we boot up the PC and try to hack each other’s heads off. When study time comes, we pull out our calculators and integrate the hyperbolic cosine of ten times pi faster than Aristotle ever could. As for the people who continue to despise calculators but continue to use them, you better get a slide rule.

A shoutout to all my friends and family. Wazup!? To my editors, thank you for your patience. And to everyone else, I hope you like my spanking hot and brand new column, refresh. Just a little something something from the proverbial waters of my incredibly saturated mind. For comments, suggestions, violent reactions and friendster accounts: my email add is ismalakas@yahoo.com, or you could send more formal requests to tnb@mapua.edu.ph.

The Builder's Dream

In the depths of his mind there exists,
a shadow behind a thick black mist.
A sight only seen by his mind's eye.
He lifts his pen and starts with a sigh.

Dots make a line, lines make a figure.
Shades and smudges highlight each feature.
From beam to beam he draws the foundation.
His masterpiece then starts its formation.

Stone after stone, the thing is built,
Forged and fired: rivets, ratchets and stilts.
Foot after foot, the structure starts to rise,
and soon becomes a marvel to our eyes.

Months pass and his job is done.
He worked hard but he sure had fun.
To think this thing built to the most extreme,
was just once the builder's dream.

Wa, this was one of my best poems, pero nagtataka ako bakit mababa ang grade nito as a writing task noong probi palang ako sa TNB. Hmp, bitterness... amfness-ness-nes nes nehs neeehss eehs ehhhs s s s... (echo yan ha)...

Anyways, wala lang... writing my column and I feel like a probi again.... anak ng walangjo jo jo mo jo jo jo... (short circuit utak, dumudugo ilong, sang katutak na sakit sa katawan, pasa-pasa, ubus lahat na ngipin, bugbog sarado, bukas, upside down tulalala... ngek! Asatoinks jow!)

Kanina may fireworks na naman sa school. Parang mino moa... maganda siya. Hehe.

Free ako the whole day, attendance lang and stuff. Kaya lang bukas Sese day, I doubt kung papayag si sir Sese na walang class...

Bago na calcu ko, kahapon ko binili.

Nung kumain ako sa Tokyo Tokyo, classmate ko pala sa mechanics ang nag serve sakin...wa nagulat ako.

Libre na namana dinner namin kanina... courtesy of mapua world. Viva Mapua... hehe... I love my job. Parang alumni night kasi un, meet and greet. Nandun si Oscar B. Mapua, Bayani Fernando... at iba pang mga mayayaman na Mapuan.

Di pa rin kami nagpapansinan... I doubt kung magpapansinan pa kami... ever. Hehe... Pero I dont care... sinasabi ko lang for the record.

Builder na kasama ko the whole day... super saya. Nag Marvel vs Capcom kami sa office. Tapos Giga Wing... Tapos nag starbucks kami nina Melissa ang Ate Anna and Armand and Sherwin and.... un lang. Tapos picture taking ulit sa bagong "Mapua world Tower." With Red Carpet and all. Stayed till gabi - un na nga ung free dinner.

Marami pa akong utang na articles, bukas ko na gawin.

Ended the day with a few Dota games with roomate Ian. Win pa rin lahat. Enchantress na fave character ko pero medyo boring na siya kasi siya nalang lagi. Iba naman. Pwede si Razor. Basta ranged ok sakin.

Hmmm, ano pa? Well wala na... goodnight... bukas naman.

For the record din, Foundation ng Mapua: January 25, 1925 daw sabi ni sir George.

Ok, bb! gg! kk?

Monster Weekend Adventure

2007-01-16T00:34:00.000+08:00

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection."

Have I got a story to tell! Yow yow yow yeah! A happy blog for a change. Hehe! Okeys, due to popular demand, here's what I've been up to the last couple of days.

Prologue

Last friday, lets see... that's January 12 (daytime... not 2 in the morning as my last entry says) I got an anonymous tip that the pyro Olympics are still ongoing and two coutries are scheduled to put up a show that night. So its friday and even though I still have scheduled classes the next day I gave the pyro Olympics a shot. After all, I wont be seing that kind of display until next year, that is if they're going to set the schedule on January again.

So after deciding to go through with it, and after meeting up with Carina (who turned out to be the anonymous texter, dont ask) and Nang Trix (that's ate trix for non-ilonggos) we were off to the Mall of Asia to get glimpse of this so called greatest show on... was it earth, asia, of all time? ... ... anyways - you get the idea.

It took us a few minutes to flag down a jeepney and a few more to reach Beundia... (uhm, yeah... we started from DLSU). Next we needed to ride one of those Multicabs.... mini jeepneys actually. At that time, these blue, little critters seemed to be the only way to get to where we were going and a lot of people were on a chaotic rampage just to get one - or so we thought. After joining the chaos and finally pushing our way to get some seats, we found out that there was actually a long line of people which extended for almost half a city block (no exaj). While we zoomed off into the sunset... the people were waving their fists in disbelief.

Just a Sampler

That little accident with the line was just the start of our misadventures. After saying goodbye to all those angry folks, we laughed all the way to MOA (which was an awful lot because of the freakish traffic jams caused by all the fireworks hype). Upon arrival, that was about 7:30pm (show starts at 8:00). We decided to do a little grocery. And since we were in a hurry... we were to buy only the absolute bare necessities. Being with two girls, this meant hair products, a few pieces of food... and those things girls wear when... yeah... yes... ok... lost myself there. Hehe. With that said, I can now say that I could tell the difference between a pad, a liner, a regular liner, a regular pad, a regular pad with wings, and a hyper absorbent regular pad with wings... hmmmm... I sure hope that I'm not making any bit of sense... but you get the picture.

Fifteen minutes before showtime, we decided to get a pizza. We asked the people making the stuff how long it would take to prepare a large pizza. They said 8 minutes. Well that, plus 5 minutes in line, 3 minutes deciding which pizza to get, and about 8 more minutes to actually go outside and view the fireworks.... and about 10 minutes trying to get through the sea of people viewing the fireworks meant that we missed the first show. Damn!

But no worries, another hour from now there would be another show, and this time we wont miss it. We hauled our pizza, found a nice open area, sat on the pavement and had our own little picnic. A little while longer and the fireworks started... I will be describing the show in the next paragraph.

WOW!

After the show... we were addicted to fireworks. We just had to see the how our country would do against china the next day. We were determined to show up... no matter what.

And oh... even though the show ended at around 10, we could leave until about 1am... too many people, to few transportation. Sigh... but it was freakin worth it.

Setting New Records

Here's the fun part. So the next day (that's a saturday January 13), we were still psyched up to go on our second day of fireworks.... waaa... im sleepy... continue ko nalang later... at least may nagawa na me... hehe... (bitin muna! Nyaahahahahahahhaa....)

ok... so im back.... Jan 17 na ngayon 12:56am... hehe. Where was I?

The second time around, we were already expecting the traffic, and the long line and nang Steph was also with us. So we decided to take a taxi. It just so happens that there's none to be found! The ones that we do manage to stop aren't going anywhere near MOA. That was frustrating. Since it was almost 730 and we havent left Lasal yet, we decided to walk a little bit until could we get a ride. Still none of the drivers are willing to take us. Seems like the very act of mentioning the word MOA sends shivers through their spines. So we kept waling... until we reached harrison plaza (brings back memories... February 20-something, last year). Still no one stops. We were overtaking a lot of cars even though we were just walking. It was one hell of a traffic jam. We kept on walking... until we reach Roxas Blvd. We kept on walking until we reached the Cultural Center of the Philippines. We kept on walking until we reached star city. Almost halfway there, we realized... are we ever getting a ride? Are we really going to walk all to way to the Mall of Asia? Answer - we did.

It was like the end of the world! Cars abandoned in the road. People standing on the roof of their vehicles. Bridges overflowing. A whole field full of people, each with their own blanket, tent, kettle, plates - everything save the kitchen sink. everyone was walking, horns were honked, bikes speeding past, police dogs on the prawl... its was the day after friday alright... and all the Filipinos were edging to watch their own country perform.

Oh, back to us. When we finally reached the open field of MOA, we saw all the people camped out there and decided to get closer to the water - where the fireworks will be launched. It was almost 830 and we were joking that the Filipinos were the first to perform - because they were already late, Filipino time. As we were walking, we reached an area where there was less people and less obstacles... whoose... it started. And we saw one of the greatest shows ever.

Turns out china was the first to perform and the Filipinos, still keen observers of Filipino time started at about 1030. So in between those times, we just sat under the stars and talking and eating everything that's being sold there. That was one of the most wonderful experiences ever! Ill post the pics when I get them. After, we walked around MOA almost twice, trying to look for a place to eat, since almost all the restos were already full or closed. I never expected all the restaurants in that super huge mall to be filled all at once. We were left with no choice but to fall in line for almost an hour (ok exaj there) in one of the McDonald's there. We ordered take-out and had one of our picnics again in fron of National Bookstore. As it was turning out, MOA was one big picnic are.

Alas, we were full and had to get back home... ann guess what... we walked all the way to taft again. What a night! What a night! But it was freakin hell worth it. Thanx guys... :D

When the Demons Come at Night

2007-01-12T02:01:00.001+08:00

Its another one of those nights were I'm up to my neck with my homework and duties that I decided it was too much and I have to stop and take a break. Well, not necessarily any break, because after this I'm going to straight to the old lumpy sack.

After a few months of utter silence, I'm here once again - talking to the shadows on the wall and thinking how it sucks to be me. Its not like I'm going through one of my award winning dramatic episodes again, I'm just here to kill some time - which I don't really have a lot of. A few articles to edit here and there, a few posters waiting to be done, a banner or two, a few pages of homework, and the oracle which was due a few weeks ago. Damn, sometimes I wonder how I got myself into these tangles. Still the good guy huh?

What? Just a few more rants... okay. Speaking of which, my column ID is due tomorrow- in a couple of hours actually... and I still don't have any idea what to call it. I fried my brains out trying to find something catchy to call my little old corner in the school's publication - but to no avail. Hmmm... here's a few ideas... to... ... ... ... name a few (hehe): Redline, breaking point, glitch, 360 degrees, storm bolt, sentry, cypher, monotone, gradient, edge, blitz, techno blend, vistro... hell, the list goes on an on. Still, they all seem to suck! I hate making this decision, not when I'm too distracted with school. Yes, school is one big distraction! No more playstation, less movies, less fun, I hate school! (Here we go again) At least we only have 9 weeks to go before summer! Haha, then I might be able to finish my final fantasy XII game.

My memory problem is getting worse. Its either I really forget these things or I just wasn't paying any attention back then. Wow, I can't believe I forgot her blog address (that is if she hasn't changed it yet). Well, I don't really care, at least that's one more connection severed.

I miss my friends, I have to admit, being independent has too many downsides to be a good thing. You come to class alone, sit in one corner alone, try to understand the lesson alone, study alone. Sure, you could get a seat mate to teach you a few things or talk about a few topics, but its not just the same like hanging out and laughing out with the old crew over a few cones of ice cream and french fries. Tonix, chen, cam, and... yes, her too. What would it take to get back with you guys without me feeling like hell all over again? Come to think of it, its hell with or without you guys... so why not rather spend hell with you?

I dunno, chen's wearing makeup now that she's got a boy friend. Tonix lost his voice, probably from shouting too much. Cam's still doing SA work in the com lab. Nines probably feeling lonely like me. Mek, still stoic as ever. Maki, Rachel, haven't seen them lately, still around probably. Cris and the rest of the powerhouse, still one big circle of really smart friends. Uhm, hanna... well I think she likes pink now. Hmmm, other friends... too many to mention - their out there... doing.... stuff.

For the record: I think it just sucks when you guys text me only when you want something from me. Sorry for the delays... your OTs and other stuff are coming soon. Dont you worry.

I heard from a song in the radio this morning, "im better at hellos than goodbyes." Well, I leave it at that. It really sucks to "fall out of love," as sir Feddie puts it. Sometimes I wish that I would just stick to the path I choose and not swerve and slide all over the god damn highway. My second big mistake. My, my, my... love just isn't my cup of tea. That's what I get for bashing on my PS2 controller instead on my cellphone last vacation. *sight* Aw, miss you g...

Ang Madilim Kong Nakaraan

2006-11-28T10:48:00.000+08:00

Sa wakas, may ilalagay na naman ako. Hehe... naku! kasi naman! Bakit kasi dun pa sila! Malapit kay... Hmm... pero ok lang... masaya sana... kaya lang... natatanaw ko ang madilim kong nakaraan...

Anyways, ganito yun... EE-ECE-COE night kasi... 500 pesos ang entrance sa metro bar dun sa malapit sa Quezon ave. Pero siyempre, the ultimate power of the ID... Libre na naman ako! At dahil si Jim (santos) ang bouncer... I mean taga collect ng tickets, may napapasok ako na iba. Waw! 1500 ang savings namin total.. minus taxi na mga 400... ok lang yun, marami naman kami. Tapos may free food + freebies pa... hehe...kaya lang nandun ang madilim kong nakaraan...

ECE night yun, fashion show... siyempre pa epal naman ako dun sa pina ka harap... photographer daw... pero gusto lang talaga makakuha ng front row seat... and para tumakas dun sa pwesto namin... kasi katabi pa namin ang madilim kong nakaraan... (pasensya na sa pag pirate ng quote ni judy, hehe)

Waaaa! Bakit kailangan ko pa siya makita ulit? Nagtinginan pa nga kami ng saglit, kasi nakasalubong ko kasi siya sa masikip na daanan nung kumuha ako ng fud. Wa! Ang dilim niya... pero puting puti yung mata... naaaaaaaak!!!

Buhay pa rin naman ako kahit wala na siya... masaya na nga talaga sana... as in super saya... nagagalit lang ako kapag nakikita ko siya.

Well, matagal na ako hindi na blog dahil hindi ko talaga trip na ilagay ang mga masayang pangyayari sa buhay ko. Hehe... Weee... wala lang, yun lang. May isang glitch na naman. Nakita ko siya eh, sira na namana ang gabi. Tsk tsk tsk.

Xenxa na ha, sa Signals Lab kasi ako ngayon at walang magawa... walang exam kay sir! Yes!!!

Mindless Words

2006-11-04T22:17:00.000+08:00

Hello guys and girls...

Its great to be back! but I'm not sure if I'm going to be back for long. Punong puno kasi ako ng trabaho ngayon. Matsci, Lab reports, and of course TNB work. Since medyo walang gawain ngayon, I'll make use of this time to type in a few more words para sa blog ko.

Nawala ang internet ko for 5 days! That's right, one entire working week. Ganda pa ng timing... kung saan walang pasok! Waaa... buti nalang may PS2 pa rin. Ang hirap pala ng buhay pag walang communications. Hehe...

This week 600+ ang gastos ko sa grocery... dami kasi ng binili ko na food. Food lang lahat yan ha... ang pinakamahal dun ang Oreos na cereal at ang premium na fresh milk. Hehe. 270 lahat yan. Pero ok lang, kasi alam ko sa bahay lang ako mag-isa for the entirety of Halloween. So dapat busog. Hehe. Try niyo rin pala ang soya milk. Sarap. 55 lang ang isang litro sa SM. Mas cheap pa kung sa nagbebenta ng taho kayo bibili. Pero mas masarap ang sa SM. Imported eh. At almost pareho lang price.

Tamad na talaga ako mag blog. Sorry guys ha. Baka kung hindi na ulit ako bc at kung may reason na ulit ako na magdrama... pwede na. Hehe.

So for the meantime, we'll have to make do with this "wala lang" entry. hehe. Naubos ang creativity ko sa pag-layout ng paper eh. And prequel lang pala to, ang gusto ko lang talaga sabihin is:

Hmmm... Masaya na ako ngayon... Pero am I making the right decision? Or am i gonna waste 2 more years of my life? Sana hindi ako magkamali... waaa... angst!

Put Your Gameface On!!!

2006-10-23T01:23:00.000+08:00

Guide my arrow...

Ean gawa ka ng bagong article placeholder lang to para mapilitan ako na gumawa ng bagong article... antok... waaa...

Placeholder lang to para mapilitan ako na gumawa ng bagong entry...

Ean put your gameface on... tama na yan. No excuses. Saan na ang persistent gamefreak na tinapos ang FFVIII at San Andreas ng dalawang beses? Kung kaya mo ma achieve ang isang perfect ending sa mga laro... kaya mo rin yan sa totoong buhay. Marami ka nang power-ups, marami ka nang experience points, taas na level mo. [anime voice:] Puuuutang Inaaaaaa! Durugin sila lahat! Eto na!!!

Things to do:
1) OLED article
2) Layout
3) Improve this Post
4) Finish all requirements sa MSEG
5) Enjoy life
6) Enjoy life
7) Repeat steps 5 and 6

Hmmm... haba ng ginagawa kong article para sa tech. Kung makikita to ng editor ko, sigurado magagalit na naman yun kasi nga kulang na kami sa space. Wait one darn minute!!! Ako nga rin pala ang tech editor. Holy shit! I need to shorten this shit! Eto preview...

The humble telly has long since evolved from the monochrome cabinets our Lolos once used to watch the news. Nowadays, we have CRTs, PDPs, LEDs, LCDs, HDTVs, PLDTs, Arm-PITs – a helluva lot of acronyms for the window shopper to comprehend. Well, the tech heads here in TNB have you covered. Pixel by pixel, we’ll give you the low-down on the different displays of today and tomorrow.

Two pages na yan, size 10 arial... OMG... kung gusto ko talaga ang topic mahaba ako magsulat.

Ah! Notice niyo pala na nawawala ang tagboard ko at naka moderate na ang comments. Well, kasi I flamed somebody, and I dont want her to talk back. Haha. Ayoko ko na may nag-aaway dito sa blog ko! Bear with me nalang muna. After a while ibabalik ko rin yun. By the way, this time hindi na ako lasing... so im perfectly sober when I said those things. Flame you bitch!

Phew! or maybe its the coffee... hyper na ako... kelangan ko na matulog kaya lang I cant! D na rin ako makapagsulat kasi hindi na str8 ang thinking ko. Hmmm... I shouldnt have opened that blog. Wala na nga sa links ko, na hanap ko pa rin. I hope she changes her blog too, para hindi ko na talaga ma access ang entries niya.

TIP for that person: Switch to blogger beta... Sa blogger beta kasi you get to keep all of your articles, plus you can choose the people who can view your blog. So ma control mo ang viewers mo, meaning hindi ko na mababasa ang articles mo. Nasa blogger beta na nga ako ngayon... pero i chose not to limit my viewers. All you need is a google account. Kung may @gmail ka na address pwede na un. Kung wala ka pa gawa kita. Go girl! try it. BTW, flame you, bitch!

Hanep! Astig ang dating mo pare... sabi ng YM Audible ni ninong... hehe... wala lang... sinabi ko lang...

Haba na nito! 1:25 na... must sleep!

Sensya na sa spiteful words...

Target: Finish all layout and articles by tuesday...

We Kicked Their Balls

2006-10-17T07:23:00.000+08:00

In the news. The Mapua Cardinals kicked Blue Eagle ass last saturday ending the game with a score of 66-70 in favor of the Cardinals. The Cardinals are poised to battle the team from the University of the East sometime this week. Damn, I dont know shit when it comes to sports news writing. Hehe... but you get the point, right? We won!!! Against the Ateneo Blue Eagles! In your face! Haha, and considering the fact na absent si Dela Peña because he was sent off to train with Steve Nash in Canada. So with proud voices, we sing:

Alma Mater, a song from the builders,
You embody the goal to attain,
Hear a song from the hearts of the wielders,
Of compass and transit and chain.

Alma Mater, your name and your story,
We raise our glad voices to thee,
We will strive for the fame and glory,
Of the M and I and T.

We will follow the light and the new prints,
We will trace on the footpaths of arts,
For our land, we the makers of blueprints,
Will struggle to fulfill our part.

When away from your doors have been parted,
Thy sons in the flight of the years,
Still conscious and firm and whole hearted,
We will hail thee with songs and with cheer.

Alma Mater, your name and your story,
We raise our glad voices to thee,
We will strive for the fame and glory,
Of the M and I and T.

Ahem! Tama nang English! Dumudugo na ang ilong ko. After a long long while, nag blog na rin ako ulit. Hehe. Kasi diba sabi ko when Im happy, I dont feel the need to blog? Kaya lang prang andami ko nang reclamo na natatanggap. Hindi na daw nagbloblog si Ean. Well, para sa dear fans ko, here's another entry.

Mahirap pala ang buhay kung editor ka na. Kala ko magiging mas madlali kasi hindi na ako magsusulat. Pero that's not the case. First of all ikaw ang dapat mag-isip kung ano ang mga ilalagay for the issue. Tapos ibigay mo ang mga assignment sa mga tauhan mo. (Due to certain circumstances... I only have one staff writer). Tapos dapat mo silang kulitin na tapusin na yan within the deadline.Tapos i-edit mo na yan, minsan kelangan pa i-rewrite. Mas mahirap pala mag-isip kung hindi mo ideas ang pinapaganda mo. Tapos, trabaho din ng editor na i-layout ang mga articles na tapos na. Actually noon palang trabaho ko na yun. Hehe. Lastly, nasa editor ang responsibility sa outcome ng mga nagawang arcticles. So ako ang susunugin incase may problema. Hmmm... pero ok lang. Masaya naman! Hehe.

Ubo ubo! Malas na ubo to! Singot. Waa, may sipon pa. Haay, ganyan talaga pag malapit na ang December. Sana naman papasa ako sa lahat na subjects ko ngayon dahil malapit na pasko. Si sir "Eagle Eyes" Hortinella lang naman ang problem ko ngayon, kaya lang teacher ko siya sa dalawang subject. Numericals lecture and lab. Waaaa. >.<>_0

Mahirap talaga mag blog kung happy ka... hehe. Sge, ito lang muna... Luto na ang rice ko at kelangan ko pa mag aral.

Marami din akong gusto ilagay kaso lagi walang oras. Geh! Ganbatte!!! >.<

Hinahanap-hanap Kita

2006-10-08T02:35:00.000+08:00

Grabeh! One week na ang lumipas, hindi ko pa rin siya nakikita. Ang galing ko talaga umiwas. Haay. Pero miss ko na siya. Sobra.

Actually kaka reformat ko lang ng pc ko. So bago lahat. Feeling brand new. At dahil DSL na rin kami ngayon, kumpleto na rin ako sa updates ngayon. At mga software. Isa na dito anf google earth na pinaglalaroan ko sa builder office. Ang gara ng program na to! May sattelite picture siya ng lahat na lugar sa mundo. Kito ko pa nga bahay ko! Hehe.

Pero as usual, naisip ko na naman siya. Hmmm... alam ko pa kaya kung paano pumunta sa bahay nila? Wala naman akong plano na pumunta pa ulit dun, pero what the heck diba? Try ko kaya siya hanapin. Sana binabasa pa niya ang blog ko, maglagay ka naman ng comment.

Dito tayo magsimula, sa Pasig market. Pasig city hall yan ang nasa letter "A". Kung naka sakay ka sa fx galing Quiapo, ito ay palatandaan na dapat ka nang gumising kasi malapit ka na sa babaan. Glass ang harap nito. Modern na modern, sigurado na makikita mo talaga. Kung na miss mo ang city hall, wag kang mag-alala. May isa pang landmark na madaling hanapin. Ang tawag ko sa gusali sa point "B" ay "spaceship." Isa itong rotating restaurant na hindi na ginagamit. Parang dish ito sa itaas ng isang tore. Kapag nandito na ang fx mo, bumaba ka na kasi end of the line na to. Pagkatapos mong bumaba, sumakay ka na ng trycycle dito sa point C. Hanapin mo ang yellow na tricycle kasi papunta ito greenwoods. Nakalimutan ko kung anong phase, basta sabihin mo "yakal street." Ang malaking gusali sa tapat ng spaceship ay ang pasig market.

Ayan, naka sakay ka na ngayon sa tricycle. May dadaanan ka na parang car wash or machine shop. Nasa isang intersection ito na minarkahan ko bilang point "A," liko ka sa kanan para maka punta sa greenwoods. Sa point "B" ay makikita mo na ang magarang gate ng geenwoods excecutive village. Halata na para lang sa mga mayaman to. May dadaanan ka na parang open field bago makarating sa guard house nila. Check point ito at kailangan mong mag-iwan ng ID kung may sasakyan ka.

Kung naka pasok ka na sa gate, point "A", sundin lang ang arrow para makapunta ka na sa yakal street. Bakit nasabi ko ito ang yakal street? Kasi may basketball court ito at may maliit na plaza sa gitna, point C. Alam ko maliit lang ito na plaza, hindi katulad sa point B na malaki. Hala malapit na!!! hehe...

Close-up naman ito ng yakal street. Kitang kita na ngayon ang basketball court at maliit na plaza. Hanapin mo nalang ang bahay na may green na gate. sa harap ito ng isang malaking bahay. Walang pinta ang mga dingding nito. Alam mo kung lumampas ka na kasi malayo ka na sa plaza. Hehe. Hindi ako sure kung saan sa mga bahay na ito yun kasi medyo blurred na ang pic. Basta ang bahay na may green na gate, yun na yun. Nung pumunta nga ako dito nakalimutan kong magbayad sa tricycle dahil sa sobrang kaba. Haha, tinawanan lang ako ng driver kasi alam niya na parang nawawala ako at kabado. Buti nalang napansin ko na hindi pa siya umalis so naalala ko na hindi pa pala ako nagbayad. Haay, memories na naman. How I wish na makapunta ulit ako diyan.

Miss ko na talaga siya!!!

New Horizons

2006-09-24T15:45:00.000+08:00

The tarmac was drenched and the skies were overcast with dark cumulonimbus clouds. It has been raining for a while now, but I couldn't care less. I was so busy eating my exorbitantly expensive hotdog that the rest of the Centennial Terminal was out of focus. To tell the truth, I forgot to bring my glasses so the entire world was a blur. Missed a lot of girl-spotting opportunities there, sigh....

It was cold. Even though there was a lot of gloom in the outside air due to the sporadic yet intense showers, the airport staff never thought of turning the airconditioning down. My feet were freezing. I never thought it would be this cold so I came to the airport dressed in my usual jeans, t-shirt and flip-flops. Big mistake.

I had my MP3 player turned to full volume to mask out the buzz of the other passengers who are also waiting for their respective planes to arrive and take them to wherever destination they're off to. As for me, its vacation time and I'm going back home to Iloilo City. It has almost been three hours since I arrived and checked in to the airport, and since then I've walked the entire length of the terminal thrice, bought myself a big hotdog, chewed on two big gum balls, drunk a can of diet coke, bought and read a tech and tuner mag, and listened to dozes of punk, and hip-hop songs. Who knew that waiting for one damn airplane can be so much fun?

A few more minutes passed and the boarding call finally came. I saw Abcd, and we boarded together. Our seats were spaced far apart though, so we only talked while walking towards the plane. I found my seat: row 6, seat A. That's the window seat I purposely requested when I checked in. The check-in clerk, who was also a Mapuan, obliged with much enthusiasm when he found out that we came to the same school.

After all checks were made, the rusty, old, and noisy Air Philippines 737 was given the clearance to taxi. The taxiways were kind of bumpy. Well, what do you expect? It's a big plane with tiny wheels, and its windy outside; a few bumps are inevitable. The big bird alligned itself with the runway and throttled-up its engines. The moment we were off the ground, I slowly closed my eyes and fell alseep. Ahhhh... there's nothing like flying towards a secure and fulfilled future.

So this is how it feels like to be the new features editor...

Thanks a lot guys.. I promise to do my best. :D

Two is a Prime Number

2006-09-17T23:39:00.000+08:00

I watched Stealth pala last saturday sa HBO. Ayus nga pala siya. Medyo sad kasi *spoiler warning* EDI, ang artificial intelligence na stealth fighter, sacrificed himslef sa end ng movie. D, wala ako sa mood para gumawa ng movie review ngayon. Pero being an action movie about planes, Five stars sana yun para sa akin. Hehe. May part lang sa end na gusto ko i-quote.

"You and me, we are two"

tapos hindi ko na maalala kung ang next part... basta it kinda goes like... "and two is a prime number. two is beautiful." elighten me nalang kung ano talaga ang actual quote.

Sinabi yun ng bida sa girl niya. Pero bakit hindi nalang niya sinunod ang cliche na "you and me, we are one?"

Well, medyo mas astic nga yun eh, we are two. Gusto kung dagdagan... *warning, geeky stuff ahead*

"You and me, we are two and two is a prime number, it is indivivisble by any number other than 1 and itself."

What I mean is kung "kayo na"... you should not let anything affect you, and na kayo lang din ang makaka-decide para sa realtionship niyo.

Kaya lang hindi naman to applicable sa life ko. Kasi 1 lang ako... prime number din... and indivisible. Haay... wala lang... just being a hopeless romantic again... seing the world through rose-tinded glasses. Hehe...

Pero dont worry, happy ako ngayon... natuwa lang ako sa movie. Yeeeee... ;D

Itadakimasu!!!

We all want to be well rounded human beings. But too much rounding and you lose your edge.

Sorry nalang sa mga fans ko at hindi ako naka post ng bagong entries these past few days. Hell week kasi namin dito sa Mapua. Usually ang hell week ay ang week bago ang final exams. Ito ang week kung saan pasahan na ng lahat na projects, portfolios, prototypes, machine problems, plates at kung ano pa na kailangan ipasa. Ito rin ang week kung saan sabay sabay binibigay ang mga last na long tests, pre-final exams, take home exams, oral profficiency exams, removal exams, special exams at lahat nalang na exam maliban sa physical exam. (Sa buong life ko hindi ko pa yata naranasan yun.) Hehe.

Sa wakas! Tapos na rin ang hell week. Hehe. So pwede na ako mag blog ulit kasi wala naman ako magawa. Dapat nag-aaral ako ngayon pero dahil may quote: "reviewer" na kami para sa exam bukas, no need to study na. Hehe. Asa!

Dalawa lang naman ngayon ang mga major stuff na kailangan ipasa. Prototype sa electronics at prototype sa logic circuits. Napasa na namin ang sa tronix. 98 ang grade namin kaya lang may minus 3 kasi hindi namin na include ang recibo sa documentation. Pero ok lang, hindi ako nagrerecalamo kasi kung nagkataon na alam namin na kailangan pala ang recibo sa documentation, eh di nalaman sana ni maam na nag kit lang kami. Baka mas mababa sa 95 ang makukuha namin. Pero hindi rin, maganda talaga project namin. One hundred watt audio amplifier pala siya. May 6 1/2 inch na speaker. Laki! Waw! Hehe... mga 3500 ang total na gastos namin. Pero sa tingin ko worth naman yun. Maganda pa ang packaging, natuwa nga si maam. Parang pang I-Mac kasi gumamit kami ng styrofoam na ball na hinati sa gitna para sa speaker, at styrofoam at glass para sa amplifier. Gamit ko nga ngayon ang speaker sa PC ko eh... extra subwoofer. Ayus ang tunog. Nararamdaman mo talaga ang bass! Hehe...

Ang prototype naman anmin sa logic ay calculator. Ang hirap gawin. Pero kinaya ng genius na kagrupo ko. Grabe ang hirap ng part ko... taga bili ng wires. Hehe. Defense namin next week, so gagawa pa kami ng documentation. Kami na daw bahala. Yeah! gudluck samin.

Andami ko rin ginawa maliban sa mga sariling project ko:

Lahat na drills ni kuya Ace sa C++2
Lahat na practical exam ni kuya Ace sa C++2

Prang nag take 2 lang ako sa C++. kaya lang this time may bayad na 100 per program = Nyahaha! >.<

Ginawa ko rin ang Flash para sa dalawang report ni Ian sa Mechanical Systems. Pang Civil Engineering na subject yun ha. Hehe... at pinag-aaralan nila ang mga escalators, elevators, ventalation systems, sprinkler systems etc. Interesting topics for a tech geek like me. Hehe. Masaya nga maging CE. Every sunday pumupunta sila sa mga major malls like glorietta at pinag-aaralan ang mga elevators at escalators nila. Nagpapadala talaga sila ng letter sa management para may tour guide. Wala lang, ginawa ko lang simulations ng mga things mentioned above.

Tinulungan ko rin si Ryan sa algebra project niya. Ang problema ko lang dun is alam ko na agad ang sagot sa mga problems na binigay pero hindi ko alam ano ang process. Thanks to my super smart calculator, hindi na ako marunong mag algebra. Pero alam ko kaagad ang sagot. After a few trails and errors, ma figure out ko rin ang process. Hehe.

Tinulungan ko rin pala sina Reign sa prototype nila sa logic. Super Saya! Kahit taga balat lang ako ng wires. At least na experience ko rin paano gumawa ng logic prototype. Sa prototype kasi namin wla akong ginawa eh. Mas naka exert pa ako ng effort dito. Kahit andaming problema we never gave up. And tinanggap na ng teacher nila so medyo sure na na pasado sila. Yey! :D

Ahahahahaha... ang saya ko ngayon. Fulfilling na marami akong natulungan na tao this term. Maybe I'll get my just rewards someday. Pero ok na rin kahit wala. Ang saya saya ko naman ngayon. :D Yey! Yey! Yey!

Malayo na naman sa topic ang title ko no? Hehe... as usual.

Wala lang, kasi kanina after going to church... kumain kami ng foster family ko sa isang mamahaling korean restaurant. Feeling kim sam sun (I dunno the spelling... walang reclamo,ok?) hehe. Puro Kim beit. Kung wiet, Hai, kung hei fat choi! Ni hao nga! ASNdhAKLsddAskldnajksdhk.... naiinis ako kasi hindi ko ma pronouce ang mga food. Basta masarap! Hahahahahaha! Puro maanghang. Tpos chopsticks lang ang binigay ng waiter. So medyo challenge sa akin. Pero marunong din ako. Kahit peanuts kaya ko nang i-chopsticks. Yeah! Ang Itadakimasu pala ay isang japanese term na sinasabi nila bago kumain. Parang, kain tayo or bon appetite... wala lang. Argh! gutom na naman ako!!!!!!!!! Bakit Japanese, eh sa Korean resto naman kami kumain? Well, wala lang. Kasi all non-filipino asians all look alike. Diba? Tayo lang naman ang mukhang tisoyon, arabo, bombay, amerikano, kastila, negro, mongoloid, koreano, at hapon. Parang lahat na lahi sa buong mundo meron dito sa Pilipinas. Hehe.

Isang joke pala na nabasa ko sa cell ni Reign kasi sira ang cellphone ko at pinahiram niya ako ng phone niya.

Ano ang sinasabi ng mga intsik kung gusto nila makita ang mga nanay nila?

...

...

...

...

sirit?

...

...

haha... SHOMAI MAMI !!!

Hahaha... conrnicks!!! Pero nakakatawa.

Uy reign salamat pala sa cell... dont worry, hindi ko na rin mababasa ang ibang messages kasi hindi ko na talaga mabuksan ang isang cell ko. Haay, sayang! Hehe...

Sige... wala lang... another happy blog! Sorry, wala muna drama ngayon! Hehe... at least I still get at least 5 views a day kahit na wala akong bagong entry. Sana nag enjoy kayo sa Pacman... hehehehehehe... mga pakulo talaga ni Ean para lang tumaas ang view count. Hehe.

Gudluck and Godbless sa finals! Thanks for a fun hellweek!

99 dreams I have had.
In every one a red balloon.
It's all over and I'm standing pretty.
In this dust that was a city.
If I could find a souvenier.
Just to prove the world was here.
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.

Haay... wala lang... one of my fave songs... to listen and view some lyrics: I posted an entry in our message boards... more interesting stuff there...

haay...

Im enjoying the last days of the term... although I dont like the fact that I am. (how profound! Haha... I wanted this term to end so much. Now that the end is near, I'll do anything to make the best of it.

Im not in the mood to write right now, I just want to express myself.

Kanina, when I arrived, I just burried my head sa pillow and... :'(

Why?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

More good memories to remember... more good times to miss.

Your a Rock Star

2006-09-09T02:18:00.000+08:00

Im glad that I wore my "Your a Rockstar!" pink spongebob shirt today. Its magic of changing a predictably stressfull day into a fun and downright enjoyable experience never seems to fade. If I'm not mistaken, I wore this shirt about five times already. (The first time was during the EE-ECE-CoE outing *sigh, memories) During each of those times - I had fun no matter what the world throws at me.

Just this morning, we had our prototype check at Quiapo because it does nothing more than just sit there and glow. Its suppose to be and audio amplifier but it has become one big circuit for an LED flashlight. The guy at store where we bought the kit says that he that each of the kits he sells are guaranteed to work. If it does not, he'll fix it for free! Its not working... so he'll fix it. Haha.... one problem down.

The admat seatwork which was scheduled today has been cancelled due to some unknown circumsatnces. Hmmm... in-te-resting.

Sir Damian walked into our Logic Class with the usual smirk in his face today; and with his chin up and his trademark maangas attitude, he said "oh, bat ang tahimik niyo? Walang QUIS!" Anak ng baka! Buti nalang hindi ako nag-aral! Haha! Thirdo problem down...

During the break nanood lang kami ng NCAA Cheerdance cCompetition sa Builder Office. We got third, but I dont care! Whats important is that willing na rin at last ang friends ko mag stay with me sa office. Parang picnic na naman! Spag and lasagnia! Mmmmm...

From left to right, Hisham:Bombay or Arabo? Basta muslim yan! Pero mabait, our daily source of the New Testament (yung parang OT na mainit-init pa), Gretchen: Yeee... pareho kami naka pink! Well because sinadya ko! Kahapon pareho din kami na naka yellow! Pero kahapon nauna ako. Hehe... house mate ko to for two days... make that maid. Taga-hugas ng plato, taga-linis ng PCB, taga-double check ng circuit, taga kuha ng tubig, taga bili ng pagkain, etc etc. Hehe. Weee.. pero enjoy talaga. I learned a new skill! Haha... pero secret yun! I know something you dont know! Nanananana! Tonix: siya ang pinakamalaki sa amin. Haha! Yun lang... Excluding hisham; miss ko na kayo mga housemates ko! Mag isa na naman ako mamaya na matutulog! Waaa...

Oo nga pala, dalawang araw kami gumawa ng prototype dito sa condo. Pero lets leave that for now. Ibang post nalang yun or else magiging super haba na naman ito. Enjoy!!! Nakakamiss...

Sa strength gumawa lang kami ng bonus points para as sheering diagram. At least nagtutulungan kami ni cam chen at tonix. Ang iba diyan walang paki. Pero ok lang yun.

Wala si sir sa tronix. Yeah.

Umulan ng malakas pero buti nalang may extra payong sa builder. Kasama ko sina Cepres Pauwi. Sabi ni marvin sa kanya... "Ang malas naman ng term na to... dahil lang sa pag-ibig." Op op! Wag mag react, si marvin ang nagsabi nun! Hehe...

Halatang tinatamad ako mag blog ngayon no? Ganyan talaga kapag happy ako. Is it because of the shirt? Or pychological lang talaga na nagkakaroon ako ng positive attitude kung suot ko itong shirt na andaming good memories attached?

Or baka hindi ko lang naalala ang mga bad things na nangyayari. Feeling ko nga nagkakaroon na ako ng split personality. One second ang ganda nga ngiti ko, the next hindi na ako nagsasalita. Well, wala lang. I dont want ot say anything. Basta... hindi ko na pipigilan ang bad Ean kung gusto niyang lumabas.

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Yun!

Another worthless post... pagod, antok, gutom,and uhaw na kasi ako. Sge, next time nalang ang mga magandang post.

Haay miss ko na housemates ko...

Balak ko sana mag english din katulad ng mga ka builder ko... kaya lang parang hindi ko na kaya. Kung noon mas fluent ako sa english... ngayon hindi na. Amf!!!

Sabi ng FHM, an average person has a vocabulary of 5000 - 6000 words. Hmmm... ilang words kaya ang alam ko? Hehe... (ang yabang no?)

Sge tama na... wala na akong masabi na may sense... I just want to write para maalala ko ang araw na to incase kailangan ko ng "happy place" sa future. You know, the happy things you thing about when the world feels like hell. Good memories para ma cancel out ang bad. Just incase lang... pero sana sa future wala nang bad experiences.

Enough said....

sge na...

bye...

ayaw pa oh...

haay...

sge na...

bye na nga...

last na to...

bye...

haay....

nakakamiss...

Bukang Liwayway

2006-09-07T05:42:00.000+08:00

Nasusubaybayan ko ngayon ang bukang liwayway. I am witnessing the sunrise. Ohayou!!!! Hehe... ang saya naman. Gumagawa kami ng prototype ngayon. At biglang hindi na uminit ang aming soldering iron! Sign na siguro yan na kailangan na namin matulog. Haay, at least naka 1/2 na kami. Sana gumana to!!! Help! Sge sleep muna kami. :D

Itsumo anata no koto wo omotte imasu

2006-09-05T23:30:00.000+08:00

If you constantly read my blog like your favorite soap... you might know what the title means. Anyways... it's in japanese. Once again thanks to sushi!!! Hehe...

Antagal naman matunaw ng ferric chloride ang PCB ko. And since wala akong magawa ngayon kasi nakababad pa sa nasabing solution ang project namin... well ito... I'll waste some time for blogging nalang.

Bakit kaya nagbabago na rin ng lay-out ang mga tao? Oi Reign! Ganda ng layout mo!!! Hmm... gawa mo ba yan? Hehehehehe... jokeness!!! Sir Namre! Nice banner... matinding competition na to!!! Hehehe... Nainggit ako tuloy. Gusto ko na baguhin ang lay-out ko. Pero at the same time gusto ko kasing witty at ma-impact ang mga post ko like sir Ninong. Pagkatopos ng mga prototype at finals, pramis... you're going to see a new Regatta.

1139 na... magagawa ko pa kaya ang power supply ng project namin bago ako tuluyang antukin? Sana lang hindi ako tatamarin.

Oo... I wanna talk... (para kay someone who said "I'm just here, ha! if you need someone to talk to... please... kahit sino.")

Kaya lang I dont think na para sa akin yun... kahit na sinabi niya na "kahit sino". I guess there will be no more talks from now on. Kasi... kasi... kasi... >.<

W8 lang, check ko muna PCB ko... ... ...

Ok... mga 15 minutes pa siguro. Haay. Saan na ba ako? Yeah balik sa pagdradrama. Hindi ko na pala kailangan mag drama pa. Wala na eh... tama si ate yunisee when she said "hopeless romantic." Its hopeless! I rest my case.

Sge tama nang drama... sinasaktan ko lang sarili ko. :'(

Wait lang, ano ba ang gusto niyo makita sa blog ko? Bakit andami ko nang audience ngayon? Dahil ba madrama ako? Dahil lang ba sa magandang flash banner ko? Or dahil natutuwa kayo sa mga post ko? Entertaining ba xa? Funny? Witty? Informative? Hehe... konteng feedback naman diyan... cause as ninong said... Blogging is not simply to let out one's feelings... one could do that in a piece of paper if he likes. There's a reason na online 'to for all to see.. its not only that na mahilig talaga ako amg share... gusto ko rin na may makuha ako sa inyo... hmmm...

Pero thanks a lot for the dozens of views per day. It feels good na people would go out of their way to see kung kamusta na si Ean. Mga chismosa! Hehe...

Deretso Deretso lang... Go! Natuwa lang kami kanina sa Pspice lab namin. May bagong expression na naman! Hehe... and joker talaga to si Hisham kahit paano... kuhang kuha pa naman ang bisaya na accent. Noovershadow na ang aking role as joker ng tropa. Hindi na rin sila natutuwa sa antics ko... well... what can we do. Seryoso nalang nga ako... kung seryoso kasi ako natatawa nalang sila bigla sa akin kahit d ko alam kung ano ginawa ko. Kung infrared sila, nasa ultraviolet ako. Ang layo nga wavelengths. One time nga nag joke si sir Damian, ako lang ang tumawa sa tropa... imaj! Tinitigan pa nila ako at tinanong kung bakit daw ako natawa. Hmmm... pero ok lang yan. At least kahit papaano nag eenjoy na ako ngayon kung kasama sila. Well... yun nga. Deretso! Deretso Go!!!

Sge na nga, sasabihin ko na ang meaning ng title... baka kasi sabihin niyo na fan ako ng Dice and K9... hindi no! Noon lang yun bai! Hehe...

Itsumo anata no koto wo omotte imasu - I always think of you, according to ate yunisee. (by now dapat sanay ka na na tinatawag kita na ate. hehe... no more angry dragons...) Miss ko na ang logbook. Hehe...

I try not to... so that I dont lose my breath every five minutes.

oyasumi nasai!!!

A Single Flower

2006-09-03T23:22:00.000+08:00

Wala lang... busy ako ngayon sa pagsusulat ng lab report pero I got tired so I checked out our message boards again. (Graviton Boards sa links ko) Hmmm... medyo napapadalas na nga ngayon ang pag post ko sa boards so its affecting my blogging time. Hehe...

Im currently downloading iTunes because... wala lang... trip. Its 35 Mb so mga 2 hours sa 56 kbps connection.

Maybe this is one of my brainless posts again... wala lang... gusto ko lang mag post...

I just learned the meaning of the opening song to Bleach's pilot episodes... Ichirin no Hana. It means "A a single flower*." I wonder which one means single and which one means flower. Ate yunisee.. can you help me on this. Hehe...

Medyo matagal ko na alam ang title ng song pero ngayon ko lang nalaman ang meaning...

More Japanese words and their meanings here... <---

Wala lang...

Take the pebble from my hand, young grasshoper
probably by seth, but I'm not sure..

[Added Sept 6, 2006 1:04 am]
*some mystery person said that Ichirin no Hana means Lone Flower... I'll take his word for it 'cause I have no way of finding out who has the true meaning. (The Original meaning was provided by Noel, and I cant say that he's really a dependable source.) Anyways, both basically mean the same thing... so no problem there. Just so you know.

[Added Sept 6, 2006 11:57 am]

Sushi said mas tama ang "Single Flower." Hehe. Single Flower it is then. Thnxyu! :)

Cloak and Dagger

2006-09-02T23:37:00.000+08:00

Wala lang... meaning stealth tactics..

Nag post ako ng bagong entry... kaya lang hindi dito sa blog ko... hanapin niyo nalang sa links ko... hehe...

tulong na rin yan sa mga nangangailangan ng traffic... if you know what i mean...

kailangan niyo lang ng rigid determination para mabasa ang latest post ko...

weeee...

Hug them, kiss them, and tell tham that you love them. Dont miss the chances that life is giving you to spend with the people you love. There are no rewinds.

Hands which Shaped the Clay

2006-08-31T03:37:00.000+08:00

After some probing around, I stumbled upon this blog: http://pisaywv.blogspot.com/ A blog about my alma mater... PSHS-WV, or Philippine Science High School - Western Visayas. A prominent name for an equally outstanding highschool. However, most of its scholars would prefer to call it "pisay"; for behind all the pomp and circumstance that the name carries, a human heart throbs - kept beating by the people that fuel it.

This post is dedicated to those people - the human hands who's finger prints are found imprinted on the country's greatest minds. (without raising my chair, including yours truly hehe )

Hmmm, so where do I start? Ah... so first we have maam Thess (The one in white). She's literally the first and last person you'll have to go to when studying in pisay. Being the registrar, maam Castor will be the one who'll sign both your enrollment papers and your realease clearance. That's why best friend ko to when its time to process our clearances. I still keep my school sealed five peso bills until now as remembrance. Hehe...

Behind Maam Thess is Maam Magno... ang super bait na Bio Teacher. Hmmm... I still can't forget that experiment where we disected earthworms... and ang final exam na parang game lang... hehe... the one na prang identification, kaya lang may blank for each letter and may corresponding number. So If you'll guess one word, makukuha mo na ang answer sa other questions. Basta... hehe.... I cant remember the name of the test kasi eh.

I dont know the other teachers na cause bago lang sila... hmmmm...

And nasa gym pala to... ahh the gym. Venue for after class practice sessions, talent shows, PE classes, Volleyball Matches, Technology Classes, bird poo dodging, and a lot more. Ahh memories.

Ok, so here's the Talent show I was talking about... On the left is the ever-so-hot maam sinfuego... filipino teacher. Hmmm... Kung wala si maam hindi siguro ako ganito ka galing mag tagalog... nyahaha. On the right naman is the ever vigilant Sir Dennis Joseph Garrido - Librarian, Choir Manager, and all around talent. Hehe... Watch out lang kayo when he's in librarian mode... nyahaha ulit...

When the mess gets too tough, we call on Manong Junior! Without him, the school will be one sweaty, pungent clutter of tables and torn up pieces of paper. He also has his trusty floor pollisher incase tamad na kami mag scrub ng floor. A trusty ally when the homeroom cleanliness contest comes by.

Si Tatay lando...Sir Libitaque... human microphone and our adviser way back when we were just little sampaguitas... 2nd year. Hmmm... when he was our advser we had the best homeroom, the coolest desks, the most futuristic bulletin boards and the strongest industrial fans in the entire school. Because of him, I never cheated again (until college that is.. oops). Because of him, we are forever knowledgeable on how the birds and the bees work. Haha! Congrats ulit sir on your promotion to humanities head.

More hot teachers. D ko na kilala ang naka white. Pero the one in yellow is our guidance councilor, Maam Thirza. She gave us direction when we were running blind... (or when we were simply covering our eyes) Siya rin ang nag ayos ng mga applications namin sa different colleges and scholarships. The one in pink is maam Leah. Soc sci teacher. Soc sci was never a boring subject when she was the teacher. Lagi nalang may acting, game shows, film showing. We made a novel ba as a final project. I made one intitle Ronin, samurai without a master. Sana I could get a copy of it. It was the longest story I ever made. And kahit forgetful ako I still remember some facts about the ming dynasty, oracle bones, and the correct pronounciation of Lao Tzu and Kungfutzu... (Confucius) Ewan ko kung tama anf spelling. Hehe.

Look, sir One and Maam Resa in one picture. Grabe, ito na pala ang faculty center... parang call center nga sabi ni sir Ed. Hehe... Sir One was our p6 teacher. Laging masy kasamang dance move yan every lesson. Para super sure na hindi kami ma bore. Tapos I remember pa the project na pinagawa niya... ang fastest gravity powered car. Hehe... That was the first time I learned how to abuse the mechanics of a contest, Siyempre we won that conest kasi ang car namin was composed of two parts. Isang launcher at isang roller. Basta... I wont dwell on the technical stuff na... basta madaya ang car namin kasi mouse ball lang siya at isang inclined plane on wheels. Si Maam Resa naman ang nasa likod. She used to be maam Yandog, kaya lang ngayon I dont know her surname na kasi she was just married. Congrats Maam! Ballet partner pala siya ni sir One. Chem teacher ko rin siya. And kahit na dreaded subject ko talaga ang chem, she made it fun and enjoyable na may halong drama at action sequences. SIya din ang yearbook adviser... oops... speaking of the yearbook... hehe... hehe... hehe...

The bio teachers! Currently studying the oil spill in Guimaras. I forgot Kung sino si sir na ka look alike ni Danfiel. Sir Laride ata, if Im right... Then next to him is maam magno... na describe ko na sa taas. Next, the one in orange is maam Biyo. The teacher with her own minor planet... Planet Biyo. Award niya ito for teaching excellence... along with a hefty cash prize and educational grant for our school. Siya din ata ang acting director ngayon. Hmmm... She looks like a superhero though... with green cape and all. Go maam Biyo... local celebrity na gnayon yan. Next is maam Zen. Math teacher, Actually tinuruan niya na kami ng mga integral and stuff and dapat alam ko na yan before college even started. I remember nga noon na magaling na ako mag integrate dahil sa kanya. Kaya lang forgetful lang talaga ako. Hmmm... Next is maam navarro. She won a Nissan Frontier!!! Cool! Hehe... and isang cool bio teacher din si maam. Hmm... what did I learn, basta mga genetics... mitosis miosis... and how they happen. Punnet Square ba yun, ang pagmamatch ng x and y dominant or recessive genes. Hehe... see... I stil remember kahit ECE ako. Hmm... I dunno kung sino ang big guy sa likod. Basta the one with the yellow shirt is sir Olvido. Tito ni Carina! Hahaha! Bad boy na teacher... laging long hair kung summer. And nag train din siya sa Japan, like sir Cerbo-san... hehe... Basta when sir olvido starts laughing, he cant stop na, kahit na teary eyed na siya. Once he laughed so much na hindi na niya kaya mag continue sa lecture so nag walk out siya. When he came back parang galit... seryoso ang face... pero after a few seconds he rushed out of the room laughing again... hahahaha!

Naku! napahaba naman ata ang entry na to... haay... How I miss Highschool life na... pa stroll stroll lang sa covered walk... basketball... counterstrike... girls... hehe... haay... If only I could turn back time... I would choose to be a high school student forever... or at least be with everyone in my highschool. 360 lang naman kami so we knida know everyone by face and name... *sigh* Thanks mga maam and sir for one of the happiest four years of my life. Ngayon ko lang pala na realize how lucky we were to have studies sa pisay. If not for the eduction but also for the values that they inculcate in us. Thanks sooo much...

Thanks to Sir Ed pala for the pics...

We Need to Talk

2006-08-30T18:44:00.000+08:00

Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass.
I hope she's happy with him.
Here's to the girl, who wrecked my world.
That angel who gave me hell.

Slightly altered lyrics,
Brockenheartsville by Nichols Joe

Hmmm, wala lang. I like this song eh... pero I alterred the lyrics a bit to fit what I want. Hmmm... so nandito na naman ako. Tumakas sa clase. Tinamad na naman pumasok. Styupid talaga! Damn it. Why am I like this? Basta. Babawiin ko nalang ang sinabi ko kagabi na "every minute counts." Why should I try to enjoy something na alam ko mawawala lang sa akin in 3 weeks. I'll only miss her more.

The words "we need to talk" are the words I fear the most. Kahit kanino pa galing yan. Kasi alam ko, we only schedule time for "talk" when the topic is really serious and when the consiquences are too great to be treated lightly. Haay. This time galing siya kay EIC. Pagpasok ko palang sa office kaninang umaga may naka sulat na sa board na "Ean kuya ace needs to talk to you mamayang 8pm". Shit. What did I do wrong this time? Mraming possibilities. Pwede dahil binigyan namin ni sir namre si nash ng false writing task... pero sinabi naman namin agad na joke lang. Hmmm... pwede rin na tungkol sa editorship. Waaa... angst!!!!

Haay, buti nalang sinabi na ni sir namre ang totoong reason mga 5 minutes ago. Parang nabunutan ako ng tinik sa dibdib. Secret ko nalang yun... pero masaya pala.. hehe. yeeee...

Kaninang break may tinanong na riddle sa akin si sir armand... wla lang... nakakatuwa. Here goes:
I live in the water
Cut off me head and yo get royalty
Cut off my tail and you get a fruit
take them both and Im a part of your body...

May score ka na 100, minus 10 perr clue na i-scratch mo... hehe... scratch mo sila ha... ang white space in between the brackets.
clue 1: [ head means first letter, tail means last letter ]
clue 2: [ think of the body part muna para 3 letters lang huhulaan mo ]
clue 3: [ external body part siya ha ]
clue 4: [ gets mo na? ok sa fruit naman... think of a fruit na 4 letters ]
clue 5: [ medyo hindi siya common sa philippines ]
clue 6: [ gets mo na siguro yan... sge... think of a 4 letter word para sa king.... ]
clue 7: [ di mo pa rin gets? Amf... EAR anf body part.... ]
clue 8: [ Hay naku... sharpen mo IQ mo ha.... PEAR anf fruit ]
clue 9: [ last clue na.... EARL ang royalty part.... ]
ANSWER: [ PEARL!!!!! HAhA! Nakuha mo ba? whats ur score? ]

Wala lang... just having fun... hehe...

Yun damating na si kuya ace... and sinabi niya na ang dapat niyang sabihin. And feeling ko titigil na ako sa pag-aaral and makukuha ko na ang dream job ko kung magiging big time to. Kaya lang hindi ako magiging engineer. Hmmm... part time student nalang.... pero I dunno... I'll think about it muna... Pero cguro ok lang na matagal pa ako maka graduate as long as Im making money diba?

Si Ean Walang Gana Mag Blog?

2006-08-30T00:08:00.001+08:00

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
Psalm 23

Sleepy na ako. Wala na naman akong gana mag blog. Bakit kaya ganun? Kung masaya ako ayoko na mag blog? Haay. So hope nalang kayo na sad na naman ako bukas para may bagong post na naman ako. Hehe. Jokeness! Pero totoo yun na wala na me gana mag blog ngayon.

Eto nalang muna. Natuwa lang ako sa pic na to... hehe... kawawa naman ang cat. [evil grin] >.<

Parang IQ test to... which of the following does not belong to the group? Hmmm... esep esep... wala lang... cute cute!!! Yeeeee... :D

Ah, marunong na pala ako paano gamitin ang photos1.blogger.com... click niyo lang ang square thingy na katabi ng check at eraser sa taas... hehe... wala lang... tinuruan kasi ako kanina ni ate anna... and alam ko na pala to noon palang... nakalimutan ko lang... nyahaha... basta kasi meron akong entry noon about sa flight ko to Iloilo... and gumawa ako ng sarili kong flight deck using a compass and a glass half filled with water.

Sge na nga, medyo may momentum na rin ako para mag blog. Hmmm ano ba nangyari kanina? Wala lang.... masaya lang ako kasi masaya ang logic lab and ang boong araw ay isang mahabang food trip. Hmmm... sge lets start.

Hindi na naman ako nag breakfast kasi hindi naka luto si Vice Pres kasi nga naubusan kami ng bigas. At dahil hindi ko pa nasulat ang lab report ko (kailangan kasi engineering lettering) nagmadali na naman ako. Na print ko na kagabi ang mga dapat ko isulat (i-trace pala... hehe, madaya kasi ako... pprint ko muna using engineering letering na font and itrace ko xa) so hindi na ako kailangan mag-isip pa. Trace nalang ng trace buong umaga. Noong mga 1130 na, niyaya ako ni Melissa at Dothz para mag lunch. Pero sabi ko kayo nalang kasi wala akong pera. 20 pesos lang laman ng pocket ko, utang ko pa yun kay sir Namre. Naks... gutom na ako at sumasakit na ang neck ko kasi weird ang position ng ulo ko kapag sobrang focused sa pagsusulat. Wawa naman ako.

5 minutes before the first bell natapos ko na at last ang reoprts ko. Kailangan ko ng liquid paper pero hindi yata uso yun sa builder office. Hehe... buti nalang si Kuya Es may dalang Tech pen na may white ink. Mahal daw yun compared sa black ink. Nakakatuwa... parang liquid paper din siya kaya lang medyo mas mabilis mag dry-up. Pagkatapos kong inayos ang mga mali mali ko, naalala ko na wala pa rin pala akong green paper para sa cover page. Naks. Tinext ko nalang muna ang lahat na kilala ko. Either wala pa sila sa school or wala silang dala na green paper. Oh well, sge mamaya nalang yan... mabait naman si mam. Research muna ako ng proposal incase na ma-reject ang medyo madali na mga proposals namin para sa project prototype sa logic 1. Buti nalang magaling ako mag cram. Wala pang 2 minutes may nakita agad ako. 28 LED clock circuit at 72 LED clock. Ayus! Print ko sila agad. Tapos lipad sa 2nd floor, hingi ng green paper sa mga clasm8 na di ko kilala (pakapalan nalang) then lipad ulit sa 4th floor para gumawa ng cover page. Buti nalang pwede na compterized ang cover page. Nyahahahehe...

Noong magsisimula na sana ang experiment gutom pa rin ako. Pero 20 pa rin ang pera ko. Buti nalang maraming extra na pera si gretchen. Sabi ko, magpapaphotocopy lang ako ng PDS (Prelimenary Data Sheet) sa baba... pahiram pera. Bakit kailangan mo pa ng pera, piso lang naman yan kasi 2 pages lang yan? Kakain pa kasi ako eh. Sge samahan nalang kita. Yeeeee! Hehe... may kasama na ako! Tumakas kami sa lab at bumaba sa canteen. Naka limang kiss kami... nyahaha. Pero hindi kiss na kiss ha! Kala niyo! >.<... Kiss King of Balls, yung nagbebenta ng mga fishball, kikiam,at gulaman... hehe.

Ansarap talaga mag kiss! Lalo na kung hot and spicy w/ gulaman!

Oh diba antakaw! Hehe. Sge balik na sa logic lab. Kasi leader ako ngayon, kailangan may contribution ako sa group. Kasi buong term na to lagi supervisor lang ako. Hehe. Nagyon gumawa na talaga ako. Ako nag design ng circuit (Binary Counter yun para sa mga nakakaintindi), ako din ang nag connect, pero tinulungan ako ni leo, at tinapos na rin niya para sa akin. Hehe. Tapos gumana agad after a few minor adjustments! Yey! Masaya talaga ang lab kapag alam mo ang ginagawa mo. Ang part 2 pala sila na ang gumawa. Nag braid nalang ako ng wires kasi inatake na naman ako ng ADHD ko. Hehe. Sabi nila pang bading lang daw yun! Hindi no! Inggit lang kayo kasi artistic ako kahit technical ang subject. Nyenye! UTP ang tawag dun... Unshielded Twisted Pair... Oh diba... naalala ko pa ang CISCO training ko noong High School Tinetwist ang wires para mag combine ang electromagnetic fields nila at magkakaron sila ng parang force field to pretect them from outside interference. Yuck - geeky stuff. Wala lang, hindi ko ma resist ang urge to explain. :P

Kami din pala ang pina ka last na group na umalis sa room. Kasi nga hindi kami nagmamadali kasi medyo busog pa kami. (Well at least kami ni chen) Naglaro nalang kami ng computer chairs. Kasi wala nang tao sa lab ginawa namin siyang racetrack gamit ang mga computer chairs. Hehe... buti nalang hindi naka tingin ang mga manong sa likod ng 1 way mirror. Kala nila hindi namin sila nakikita sa likod ha. Hmmp, di lang nila alam na lumalabas pa rin ang shadow nila king lalapit sila sa glass. Syupid! Joke lang! Hehe... mabait naman ang mga manong sa logic lab.

Hmmm... then gutom ulit kami pagkatapos ng logic lab. Bumili kami ng spag sa canteen. This time kasama na si Tonix, (Antonio Alejo de Grapon dela Madre de Cacao la Kalachuchi III pala ang real name niya... hahahahaha). Kaya lang dalawang spag nalang ang natira. Si kahit mukhang masarap ang spag, pinanindigan ko nalang ang sinabi ko na ayaw ko ng spag. Para makakain din silang dalawa ni chen ng masarap ng spag. Mabait pa rin kasi ako eh. So nag Jamaican patty nalang ako, nilagyan ko nalang ng maraming hot sauce para sweating hot na naman siya ulit. Gusto ko talaga maging mabait. Sa totoo lang, nagpapangap lang ako na mayabang, maangas at suplado to fit in. Yun ata ang requirement sa tropa namin. Pero masaya ako when I can be myself. Kahit na alam ko na nice guys finish last, ok lang. Hehe. Kahapon nga nilebre ko rin si Gretchen at si Tonix ng kikiam. Pero nahiya sila bigla sa akin so nilbre din nila ako ng maliit na jamaican. Siyempre hindi ko naman tinanggihan. Pagakain din yun. Wala lang. Point ko is masaya pa rin ako when Im the nice guy. At when people allow me to be nice to them. Haay... some people kasi diyan... sge wala wala... dapat masaya ang post na to... no rants muna. Hehe. :D

So Electronics lab na after kami kumain. Actually tinatamad na ako mag tronix lab kasi hindi naman ako makagawa kasi sinosolo ni sir cepres at sir marvin ang FACET Board. Hmmm... ginamit ko naman ulit ang "magpapahotocopy muna ako" excuse para maka takas sa lab. Nag internet nalang muna ako sa office at nag reply sa mga comments ni efren! Andami wow! Halos lahat an entry ko. Keep it up fren! Hehe... kung gusto mo mag lagay ng mga bad words ok lang yun! Hehe... kilala ta man ka ah!

Yun, so after mga 30 minutes na pagbabasa ng mga blog ng iba... (w/c includes sir ninong, sir namre, and reign)... ready na rin at last ako para bumalik sa lab at maging supervisor ulit. Hehe. Tapos after a while naka balik ulit ako sa office kasi nag research ako para sa mga answers to questions and problems. Haay, minsan may advantage din when your not the smartest guy in the group. You dont need to do a lot of thinking. Dirty work lang like pagpaphotocopy or paggawa ng graphs. Pero minsan boring din. Gusto ko ako ang gumagawa ng circuit at ako ang nag dedelegate. Pero ok lang yun, magaling naman kasi si mr cepres. Wala akong reclamo. Masaya naman maging supervisor. Aral nalang ako kung practical exam week na.

Tapos yun... uwian na. Masaya ako all the way. Hehe... Kaya lang sa jeep pala kailangan naka angry face ka. Kasi kung mukhang tulala ka or mukhang takutin.... baka maging target ka pa ng holdaper. Hehe... at ayoko talaga mag jeep kung ako mag isa. Gusto ko FX. Less pollution, less chance na ma holdup kasi less people. And most na sumasakay is mga students or mga may kaya kasi medyo pinipili din naman ng driver ang mga pinapasakay nila. Kaya lang masaya din mag jeep kung kasama si reign. Kahit less than five mintues lang kami magkasama. Last 3 weeks nalang kasi. Every minute counts. Haay. Pero ok na ako dun. Tanggap ko na noon pa na hindi na kami magsasama next term. Thats ok, thats alright.

Pagdating ko sa bahay kain ulit. Isang malaking chicken (Deep voice... CHEEEHKHEEN!!!) at dalawang rice at maraming tubig at dalawang banana. Alam niyo ba na pwede niyo na i-slice ang isang saging kahit hindi pa ito na balatan? Easy, kuha lang kayo ng isang sharp object (eg pin or paper clip). Tapos insert mo yan sa saging, twist sideways, left right left right. And Walah! Magic Saging! Hehe... Wala lang... ginawa ko yun kanina eh. ADHD attack nga ako ngayong araw na to. Then after eating naglaro muna ako ng San Andreas sa PC. Bagong CD kasi na pinahiram ni sir namre. Medyo na stress ako dun kasi ang hirap ng controls. Sanay ako sa PS2 version eh. Naligo nalang ako. Mga 30 minutes ako nag hot shower na naka set sa fine spray (high tek kasi ang shower namin, mayamin kasi landlords ko.... si VP). Ansarap! Super stress releaver... parang massage (read as ma-sa-he) lang. Mmmmmm... Ahhhhh what at day. :D

Hmm...ano pa... about sa builder exam noong sunday. Argh... next time nalang...antok na talaga ako... haay. Basta masaya din ako noon. At sa lagay na to wala pa akong gana mag blog. Oh my god! (Thou shall not use the Lord's name in vain) Hmmm... oo nga no... erase erase. Oh my goodness! Hehe... Or pwede rin... Oh my gosh! (Yack!!!)

("o) *yawn* Sleepy na ko! I need to sleep na. BB nalang guys.

Nerd, Geek, or Dork?

2006-08-26T16:14:00.000+08:00

Copy paste lang to from yahoo... para sa mga hindi nagbabasa... nakakatuwa lang kasi eh... hehe...

What's the difference between a nerd, a geek, and a dork?
Josh

Dear Josh:
We've been called all three, and to be honest, we always assumed they meant the same thing. However, according to the cool kids, there are differences.

Official definitions for nerd, geek, and dork each use the words "inept" and "foolish." Nerds have the added distinction of being "unattractive." Ouch. While it's hard to argue with the dictionary, we sought out definitions from the Internet at large.

According to Whatis.com, nerds are people of above-average intelligence who place little importance on their appearance. Nerds are often aware of their status, but they don't mind. In fact, many take pride in the putdown, as it means they're smart and not wrapped up in superficial worries.

Geek is a more specific term. Back in the day, geeks worked at carnivals, and (according to the dictionary) "bit the heads off live chickens." Thankfully, the term now has a different connotation. Like nerds, geeks are smart, but they tend to focus more on technology. As Urban Dictionary explains, these are the people you make fun of in high school and later work for as an adult.

Being called a "dork" is the biggest insult of the three. There's no way you can spin it into something positive. After all, even the dictionary writes that dorks are "stupid" people. And to make matters worse, dorks assume they're cool. Oh, and they smell, too.

So, to sum things up, if someone calls you a geek or a nerd, thank them. If someone calls you a dork, consider going back to school and investing in some new deodorant.

69

Sa mga green-minded diyan. Don't even think about it. Dahil 69 ang title ng post na to', it doesnt mean na bastos siya. Haha. Anyways, kakatapos ko lang ng banner ulit. Version 1 na to... medyo may kulang pa... pero this will do for now. 69 kilobytes ang size ng flash na yan, kaya 69 ang title ko. Haha, astig nga eh, kasing liit lang ng isang jpeg na malaki? (ang gulo ah, hehe) Maganda naman diba? Yey... thanks sa comments guys. =) Arian, musta na da? Wala gid ko pasalubong ba. Hmp. -_- Joke lang. Uy ano YM mo? =D

Hmmm... ano pa? Any suggestion? Paano ko pa to ma improve? I think gusto ko palitan ang scheme ng blog. Gusto ko blue naman... teka... gagawa muna ako ng bagong grapix... hehe... ciao!

Hala, interview na namin bukas... pero ok lang... whatever!!! W('",)W

So eto, I started with the banner muna... beta version palang yan... kulang pa ng mga kaartehan... excited lang ako na e upload siya so yan... a fortaste to my new blog nalang muna yan.

Life is no Fairy Tale

2006-08-24T23:51:00.001+08:00

...and they lived happily ever after.

How I wish the rest of my life could be told by those words alone. However, I don't think that would be probable, for real life can never be a fairy tale. "They lived happily ever after" was just a phrase invented by some 2-bit, lazy author who didnt want to tell little children about the problems that followed after the wedding, the kiss, or the magical revival from death. My trusty dictionary begs to agree: "a fairy tale is an improbable invented account of something, often a false excuse."

So was "that night" just another fairy tale? An excuse to fade away from reality for a few days? A dream I'm forced to forget after I wake up? Damn... I hope not.

[takes another bite of pizza]

Good thing tita bern brought us this plate of pizza... or else I could have fallen into another one of my irrationally depressed moods again. Then again, why am I here pouring out my feelings instead of studying for my math exam tomorrow?

Maybe I've wasted one too many chances and that I've betrayed her one too many times. Its hard to think that she'll be holding out her hand just like that again. And who's this guy she misses the most? Who's this guy that "makes her heart beat faster? I'm really confused. Do I still have a place in your life? Where's that energy that made me shiver even if it wasnt that cold? The old flame that's been rekindled is fading into a dim spark again. Was that just "for old times sake?" Why didnt you just push me away? Why? Why? Why?

I know that trust is a hard thing to earn. And loosing it several times over makes it an even tougher mountain to climb. But for once in my life... I'm sure of what I want. If your going to be my Everest, then so be it. Rest assured that I'm going to reach the top no matter what it takes. That's a promise.

God bless nalang sa MSE exam mo... and I hope you're really "just too busy studying."

Here's an ending that I like...
"... and what became of the guild and its heroes is a story for another time. For now, we are sure that the hero can finally have his well deserved rest."

Kay Sarap

2006-08-21T16:05:00.000+08:00

marami ang nagsasabing, mahirap magmahal
marami ang nasasaktan, mahirap iwasan
kapag ang puso'y nagmahal, mahirap turuan
kahit ano ang sabihin di ka pakikinggan

sabi ng aking lolo noong unang panahon
nga babae raw noon ay di tulad ngayon
di mo mahawakan, di mahalikan
tatalong taon mong ligawan, sagot pa ay ewan

kay sarap ng may nagmamahal
kay sarap ng may minamahal
kahit na anong sabihin
kahit na anong sabitin
napakasarap ng may nagmamahal

ang buhay ng tao ay may kanya kanyang takbo
wag mong iisipin na mas mahirap ang sayo
kung ikay gulong gulo ang payo ko ay ganito
magmahal ka lang at inyong maiintindihan

ey tin... we have a new pic na! at last... hehe...

kay sarap ng may nagmamahal
kay sarap ng may minamahal
kahit na anong sabihin
kahit na anong sabitin
napakasarap ng may nagmamahal

kay sarap ng may nagmamahal
kay sarap ng may minamahal
kahit na anong sabihin
kahit na anong sabitin
napakasarap ng may nagmamahal

repeat until exit... hehe...

OK... blue font para Blue Eagles ang theme ko ngayon.. hehe... so nawala ako noong weekend... wala lang nanood ng Blue Eagles Vs. UP whatever... sorry d ko alam kung ano ang team ng UP... wala naman talaga akong paki... basta nanood lang ako.

Nakakatawa pa nga dun eh nag-walkout ang mga UP kasi nga naka ilang foul na sila at bingyan pa ng warning ang coach nila for "bench decorum." PERO BUMALIK DIN SILA. STUPID!!! Haha.. Tapos bigla nalang may naghagis ng mineral water bottle sa referee... galing ata un sa box A ng UP side ng audience... hmmm... nakaka tense... kala ko may roit na. Kaya lang inisip ko... kung magwawalkout ang UP paano na ang binayad namin na 120 pesos. First quaerter palang ata yun. Hehe... buti nalang bumalik sila... muntik pa nga natalo ang blue eagles sa 2nd quarter... nakabawi nalang sila noong 3rd quarter na... nanalo ang blue eagles 98-88 vs UP. Hehe...

Tapos food trip kami sa greenwhich sa farmers... ay nga pala... gagamit sana ako ng CR sa gateway kaya lang may bayad pala... wag nalang! Stupidness. Hmm.. tapos ano pa ba ang ginawa namin? Hmm... d ko na maalala... basta after namin mag malling ng konte dun kami nag stay sa dorm ng ateneo friends ko. Nilbre pa kami ni efren ng isang bucket meal at drinks. Food trip talaga! Sabi pa nga namin kami ang magbabayad ng drinks kaya lang napunta nalang yun sa "thank you" kasi nakalimutan na. Hehe. Salamat... Eric Salamat... hehehe...

May taga Iloilo pala sa Blue Eagles... si number 14... di ko alam sino... basta galing xa sa Ateneo de Iloilo, formerly known as Santa Maria Highschool.

Tapos... wala na... secret na... hahahaha! Super saya... ala lang...

Then uwi na kami ni efren... mga 130 kanina... see pic above... pauwi na kami nung time na yun... pero sabi ni cheche picture taking muna daw. Hehe... then dumaan ulit kami sa gateway bago mag FX papunta España. Nag Taco Bell for the first time in my file. Super busog sa Gtrilled Stuft Burrito. 109 pero worth it kasi 1/2 pound siya. Grabe... food trip weekend.

At least for a few days nakalimutan ko problems ko... (although doon ako gumawa nf lab reports ko sa dorm nila) Thanks guys... Na miss ko man kamo! Mangita naman ko reason para maka balik... scary siya kasi I didnt ask permission (as always) Hehe...

And oh about the song... wala lang... amo na daan ang ga play sa MP3 ko b4 ta nag meet... and ang sarap talaga pag may minamahal... diba? Luv you guys. =)

Ok, so I probably made the worst mistake of my life kagabi. Stupid me. Haha. Question is, where do I go from here? Well, wala na actually. Noon palang alam ko na na she's not for me. What's the point in liking someone who's completely your opposite diba? And besides... she probably likes someone else na. Well, at least I dont have to live the lie that I've been living for the past 5+ months anymore. Lying to her, lying to my friends, and lying to myself na I don't like her. I probably have a place in hell na for all those lies. Sana lang hindi ko makita si Jonathan at si David sa hell, or else papatayin ko sila! Fwahahahahahaha... '(-_-)'

Sge... I'll play fable nalang. At least sa fable marami girlfriends ko and may magic lightning sword pa ako. Haha...
>.<

Salamat Ms. Reign... nasabi mo rin ang mga gusto kong marinig.

Aaminin ko na the best pa rin yung last term... kahit isang subject lang tayo magkaklase... hindi ko na feel na malayo tayo sa isat-isa cause sa short time na magkasama tayo masaya ang lahat.

So I agree naman talaga na we're not going to be blockmates next term... pero promis me sana na we're going to be classmates sa isang lecture... thats all I ask... isa lang... like last term.

Sa builder tingnin nila sa akin baby... kayo din tingin niyo baby... hmm... I guess its high time I grew up.

Promise ko na starting bukas I'll be a better person and a better friend. I-cast aside ko na ang expectations ko.

And sana I wont be afraid na rin... afraid na If I'll come close you'll move away.

Thanks for caring... =)
