Good News, Bad News

Good News: My Engltri persuasive speech is scheduled on Monday. Yay for weekend preparations.
Bad News: Speech will be done in the classroom. No mic, no computer (for PowerPoint presentation). Just raw voice and OHP.

Good News: What is online to you....
Bad News: ...is offline in my list :\

Good News: My Green and White pictorial is scheduled next week, August 5.
Bad News 1: I had a late haircut. It's shorter than what I prefer.
Bad News 2: Day of Defeat, or Defense of the Ancients? :\

Good News: As an alternative for the missed Litera1 class due to class suspensions, we were required to watch "Sukob".
Bad News 1: Two days after the announcement, Sir Johann said that it wasn't required anymore. Therefore movie money instantly became Netopia fee. :(
Bad News 2: The "I haven't watched a movie inside a movie theater for years!" curse still runs. Yep... 5 years and counting...

Bad News: La Salle is suspended, and it pains to watch the games without your Alma Mater. Major sponsors backed out, and the league is almost stuck at Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

Good News 2: Our whipping boys... I mean rivals... are on a hot streak! Go Ateneo! Win the championship! We'll be more than glad to take it from you next season. Hehehe >:D

Good News: Older brother is out and I'm free to use the computer all night in preparation for the speech this Monday.
Bad News: I'm not doing anything about it.

Timing na Katamaran

Mabuti naman at natupad din yung kagabi ko pang hinihiling: ang masuspinde ang klase ngayon. Salamat Glenda.

Paano ba naman kasi, kagabi ko pa hindi natatapos yung movie critique ko sa Litera1 (sa totoo nga, hanggang ngayon di ko pa siya natatapos :D). Hinintay ko lang kasi yung kuya ko na matapos siyang gumamit ng computer kahapon, kahit na buong araw na niyang ginagamit iyon.

Ika nga nila sa Ingles, Patience is a virtue. Bahala na kahit masyado nang gabi. Ako naman (ata) ang alagad ng cramming. At kung sabagay, kapag masyadong maaga kong inumpisahan e hindi ko rin naman agad matatapos dahil ako ay isang alagad din ng procrastination. Hehe.

Bukod sa critical paper, hindi rin ako masyadong nakapag-aral para sa exam sa Litera1, at wala pa din akong naumpisahan sa persuasive speech ko sa Engltri. Mabuti na lang at ma-eextend na naman sila. GALING.

Mabuti na lang at mailalaan ko din ang oras na ito sa pagbabasa ng The God of Small Things, ang nobela na napili ko para sa final critical paper (sa Litera1 pa rin). Kahapon ko lang natapos yung Chapter1. Ayos, 21 chapters na lang, at meron pa akong dalawa hanggang tatlong linggo para doon. ANG GALING MO TALAGA IDOL.

---------

Alas-kwatro na, at mag-uumpisa pa lang mag-salita si GMA para sa kanyang SONA.

Alas-kwatro. Kung nagkaroon pa ng pasok, paano na kaya kami ni JM pati ang mga kapwa naming estudyante na sa Fairview umuuwi (or at least, sa Commonwealth Avenue dumadaan).

Kung nagkataon, siguradong lagas na naman ang pera ko sa kakalaro, isang pampalipas-oras since 10:30 pa natatapos yung huli kong klase pag MWF. Siguradong mga alas-sais lagpas na akong aalis ng school para pag-uwi ko, pwede nang dumaan sa Batasan.
Pero teka, ok din siguro yun... Siguro nagtago na muna ako sa STRC para gawin yung speech ko. Hehe.

---------

Nakakalahati na ako dito kanina sa pagta-type, nang biglang mag-brownout.

Bwisit.

Sabado ng Gabi

Sa iba, eto ang tamang panahon para gumimik at magliwaliw. Pero para sa akin, eto ang panahon kung saan ako ay naiiwan lang dito sa bahay, naghihintay sa unang taong uuwi habang nakatapat sa computer, depende pa kung naglalaro o nag-iinternet lang.

Wow. Ang saya.

Nakakabagot. Walang masyadong magawa. Walang masyadong kausap. Ni hindi ko nga mapuwersa ang sarili ko na mag-aral na lang e. Grabeng katamaran na ito.

Para akong natutulog ng dilat. :
------------------

Ahoy, hindi ito kapani-paniwala! Nauubos ang aking cellphone load!

Habang nakatunganga sa J202 at naghihintay para sa klase ko sa Modealg, biglang dumating ang isang text mula kay Alvin...

-----

May kumaway






May kumaway downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound...

-----

(Kung sakaling hindi niyo nage-gets, yan ay galing sa A Thousand Miles ni Vannessa Carlton. May kumaway == Making my way. Medyo malabo lang dahil siguro sa -breakitdown! sa huli.)

Aha, puro patawa na naman.

Naisip ko na baka naka-"send to many" itong si Alvin, kaya nag-send din ako ng ilang joke sa ilang mga kaklase. Nagsend din ako ng iba kong joke dun sa mga wala pa. Nagdadalawang-isip pa nga ako kasi baka maistorbo ko ang ilan sa pagkakatulog nila. Mabuti na lang at may ilang nagreply. :))

Sample ng sinend ko:

-----

Boy: Uy, may gagawin ka ba mamayang gabi?

Girl (blushing tapos kinikilig): Uhm... wala e Ü

Boy: Ako meron! :D

-----

Napansin ko din ang ilang mga bagay:

1. P0.90 na pala per text.
2. Mas mahal pag mas mahaba yung message
3. Hindi ako naka-unlimited texting.

Hindi kasi ako madalas mag-text e. Kadalasan e yung mga sinesend kong message e pag importante lang (pwera na siguro yung mga text ko kay online Li'l Sis at kay Katr...).

Kung tutuusin nga, kilala ako bilang taong may cellphone pero walang load. Kaya't maaaring maituring na isang pambihirang pangyayari ang paggasta ko sa pera sa pagtetext! :))

------------------

Oops oops oops! Dahan-dahan lang!

Konting sampal muna sa sarili! Yan!

Ayos. Balik sa realidad.

Ingat ka lang. Wag kang mag-overreact. Alam mo naman ang nangyayari sa iyo kapag...






...

Kausap ko na naman ang sarili ko.

Buwisit talaga pag ganitong sabado ng gabi...

Suntok sa mukha kaya?

Pwede.

Random ramblings for the day.

Eh. Nakita ko noon ang kuya ko na gumagamit ng Microsoft Visio para sa kaniyang project. So by that, inassume ko na hindi pa niya natatanggal yung program na iyon sa computer.

Since nagkandaloko-loko naman yung mga computer kanina sa STRC at gusto ko na ring umuwi dahil kailangan ko pang mag-aral pa para sa Advaca1, nag-decide na lang ako na umuwi at sa bahay na lang gagawin yung ERD (entity releationship diagram; para sa Datbase) sa bahay, since naisip ko na nasa computer pa namin yung Visio.

Pero pag-uwi ko, ayun... wala. Wala sa Office yung Visio. :|

Naalala ko kanina na nasabi sa akin ni Alvin na kung gaano kahirap gawin sa MS Word yung mga ERD. Sinubukan ko at... napagdesisyunan ko na lang na gawin bukas sa STRC yung mga ERD (unless hihintayin kong makauwi yung kuya ko at magpapa-install nung program na iyon, tapos magpupuyat na naman ako sa harap ng computer :\).

Ah ewan. Bahala na si Batman.

Pero teka, sabi nila ako daw si...

Nah.

-----

Nye corny. Ang tanong na nabunot ko kanina sa impromptu ay "What is the importance of prayer in our life". Ang dami ko na namang nakalimutan. Ni hindi nga ako masyadong nakasingit ng humor e. :(

Oh well. 20/25 = 80%. Pwede na rin heh.

----

Kanina lang tinelevise yung finals match ng DLSU at SSC sa V-Leauge. Kahit alam ko nang natalo ang DLSU sa 1st set tapos nanalo ng tatlong sunod-sunod para mag-champion, pinanood ko pa rin yung game. Exciting hindi ba? [/sarcasm]

Well, hindi naman yun yung point ng post na ito e. Kaya ko lang naman nabanggit kasi napanood ko kanina yung Thai import ng DLSU, si Kanchana "Pu" Jindarat.

Kaawa-awang bayani. Sa tuwing mag-iispike siya, laging sumasakit yung left knee niya tuwing maglalanding. Sa totoo nga, karamihan sa mga pumasok niyang tira e bagsak sa sahig ang inaabot niya pagka-landing.

Pero kahit ganun, sige pa rin siya. Lalagyan lang ng yelo tuwing break, tapos laban agad. Mabuti. Champion naman sila e, kaya hindi sayang yung mga pinaghirapan niya.

-----

Speaking of televised V-League, na-flash ng close-up sa TV si Paola kanina dahil sa katabi niyang may banner. Mga wala pang 2 seconds. Haha. Wala lang.

The Panic Button

Top 25 Reasons Why I Like Being A Math Major

top 25
you tend to be objective. you rely on facts, not feelings. this shows a better sense of professionalism compared to those lousy E. majors.

top 24
most GENIUSES are mathematicians.

top 23
you don't know what job suits you best.

top 22
you fall asleep faster, you count the sheep twice as fast.

top 21
you get to compute imaginary numbers using imaginary solutions.

top 20
you can meet your professors on the first and last day of classes and still get a passing mark for the course.

top 19
you have a keen sense of time. we like starting our work at the last minute.

top 18
you don't need to bring a handful to school, just a pen, some paper and a calculator, and you'll do just fine.

top 17
simplicity is virtue. writers express, artists impress, math majors COMPLICATE.

top 16
there are different ways to solve mathematical problems. you can copy the answer from a seat mate, then find another solution to it, and the teacher won't even notice.

top 15
you don't need to know what you're doing as long as you're doing it right.

top 14
infinity isn't such a large number. (we know why.)

top 13
if you have similar answers, it's either you're both correct, or you're both wrong. it's usually the latter but nobody notices.

top 12
the first step to solving any mathematical problem is to PANIC.

most of your professors don't understand what they're saying.

top 10
you go to college just to find out you were mis-educated in math subjects during primary and secondary schools.

top 9
you actually know how to use a scientific calculator.

top 8
you need not be right in everything. you just need to make them BELIEVE you're right, even if you're not.

top 7
you find it easier to disprove others' work than to prove yours.

top 6
the more SCRIBBLES you have on your math exam paper, the higher the score.

top 5
people don't understand you, if you're discussing something complicated, they think you're smart.

top 4
you take up subjects you can NEVER apply at work.

top 3
you need to be able to prove that 1 > 0

top 2
you always have an excuse for DIRTY exam papers, why?
...'cause good mathematicians never work clean.

and..

top 1
you is not good on grammars. we ARE math majors after all.

Yikes. I have an quz tomorrow in Modealg (abstract algebra).

To make it all worse, I have no idea about the scope of the exam.

-----

Once again, I will be part of those who will be the last to present their speeches. This time though, it'll be an impromptu speech.

Here's to hoping that I get a great question for my impromptu. A question where I can insert humor, and make my speech look like I'm being interviewed by Leno or Letterman.

Cheers.

Patawad.

Patawad.

Patawad, at bumalik na naman sa isip ko ang bagay na noon ay kinalimutan ko na. Akala ko, sapat na ang isang beses para lang ipaalala sa akin na hindi pwede. Ngunit hindi e. Napakasama talaga ng pagkakataon. Kailangan na naman nitong ipaalala ang sikretong nakaraan, ang isang bagay na kadalasan ay isinasarili ko lang at hindi ko na sinasabi sa iba.

Patawad, dahil mali naman ang asumpsyon ko.

Mali na naman ako.

Ika nga nila sa Ingles, I got carried away by my emotions. May nangyari lang, may nakita lang, kung anu-ano agad ang naiisip. Napakasama ko talaga. Kung alam lang niya, binugbog na siguro niya ako.

Patawad, at naguluhan ako.

Patawad, at nagpaloko na naman ako sa sarili ko.

Hindi ako mapakali noon. Pakiramdam ko, gusto kitang kausapin, gusto kitang tanungin kung ano ang nangyari, at ano ang maaari kong naitulong. Kahit ano, basta lang makakapagpaluwag ng loob mo, kung sakaling meron ngang gumugulo.

Gusto kita noon, at sa ilang bagay ngayon, gusto pa rin kita.

Patawad at nakikialam ako.

Dahil hindi talaga pwede.

At dahil isa akong tanga.

Muli, patawad.

May nangyari nang ganito noon. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, nagawan ko na rin ng paraan para mailabas.

Ayoko na.
