4 days to go

before my christmas vacation officially starts...

we just came back from the mall. actually, church first then mall. ^^;; we bought a lot of things. err... it's my mom who bought a lot of things, in fact. as consolation for her not getting her MDRT award for this year. yeah, and when we talk about things that compensates for my mom's terrible mood... we do it in the appliance center. we, or she, bought a water dispenser, another dvd player and another tv (i paid half the tv's price as promised). good thing Sharp is in a generous mood this season, we also got a free tv rack and an mp3 player... which in turn i gave to my sister as a month-early birthday gift. whew. we decided not to buy the magic mic since.. err.. my parents realized it's not that useful. i mean, if you don't know the songs, you're stuck. there's no background singer to support you.

i saw a shirt in freeway, the tagline is

'i'm in love
i don't care
HE --->
is mine
i don't share.'

yeah. with the arrow. hahaha. i would love to have it but a.) it's too expensive for a regular tee b.) i don't think anyone would want to walk with me if i wear it and c.) i'm not exactly in love like the shirt says. i just like the tagline but it doesn't really apply to me. hahaha. it's not the right time, yet. wahehehehe...

so. i hate indulging myself on a sunday, especially when i know we're having a test the next day. you know me, i see things in the scale of karma. if i become too happy right now, karma would get back at me the next day. eh my long test kami sa chem16. and i haven't studied yet. yeah. i am that lazy. don't worry. eventually i'll change. let's just hope payback time doesn't happen between 10-11am tomorrow during our test.

calories! i ate 4 blocks of belgian chocolate and another irresistable drink from starubucks. i'm not on a diet, i just hate myself.

now i'm penniless.
wish me luck. on the exam, i mean.

adsense alert!

i checked my google adsense report and it says i've earned $10.05 already! yehey. thanks for the clicks guys. but you see, i'm still confused with the payment system. i'm so stupid when i wrote my sister's name on the payee field. i should've written my dad's or mom's. that way i won't be bothered with having my sister acquire a TIN and SSS number. oh yes, it's required. and mind you it's not tax free. which means my 'future' $1000 dollar earning will be deducted approximately 12%? not sure. anyhow. matagal pa yun, after 5, 10, 15 years perhaps? =/

i'm just happy. hehehe. i met a new friend, his name is kim. we met at the bus. actually, he's also from u.p. hehehe. wala, he's just so.. er.. articulate to say the least. at first i was just ignoring his comments about the radio. then he starts to sing, by the way the radio station plays classic songs. david pomeranz, queen, sinatra... and he knows them all. as in ALL. consecutively. that's when vianne and i start to contain our sniggers. i was just too overwhelmed, it feels like he's memorized all the songs. seriously, i can't hide it. rudeness aside. that's when i decided to be civil to him, so that i won't sound rude laughing at him for knowing the songs. in fact, i was singing bohemian rhapsody too. and you know, we're in a chorus. hahahaha. ayon befriend befriend. then we get to know each other. he's a DOST scholar pala, and we both have a common friend or classmate. small world. but then he's okay. he's spontaneous, he doesn't run out of things to say. and we're amused that we both like retro music. he even offered to give me a cd of his own collection of retro music and says, 'consider it as a token of appreciation'. as in. how generous. but i kindly refused, seeing that he'd bother walking from men's dorm to raymundo gate at a sunday evening just to deliver a cd as a token of appreciation? hehehe.

then we dropped my megamall. brownout, so most stalls are dark and some are even using candles. we went to the department store to finally look for my sister's jacket. we spotted a really nice lee jacket. unfortunately, it won't fit her. she's so frustrated. i would personally consider buying the jacket for myself because it fits me well, but hell how would she feel then? -_-;; i decided not to.

then we went home, it's around 11pm when we finally arrived.

home sweet home.

sutek's tomb

i'm starting to enjoy the agony of college life. which means i'm leaning on the masochistic side. hahaha. i don't like torturing myself but at the same time, if i'm not feeling bad i won't feel the presence of people who try to make my day feel better. dibaaaaa? i'm not talking about anyone in particular. i just figured being optimistic is the best way to get through life emotionally unharmed. though i know it's impossible to get through it unharmed. haha. what is life? time? our philo1 class is boring holes in my brain. there are so many simple questions that are so hard to answer simply because it's self explanatory. in math, it's the simplest term. in chem, it's a pure substance which cannot be broken down into simpler forms. that's what make it so hard to explain, it's too simple i'm left speechless.

look! i've changed! i don't hate a lot of people anymore. compared to highschool where i keep grudges and secretly bastardize their identities in this blog. ay wait. last night, a friend asked me (through text) about our math homework. so i replied, i typed the freakin [R, +, x] [Q, x, +] [Z, +, x] [Z2, +2, x2] ... up to ten operations just so he could do his homework. imagine how painstaking it is to type operations on your cellphone. but he skipped math this morning. nainis talaga ko. grrr... bahala ka. i hate people who are slacking off, nevermind how smart you are.

dibale. oi, di ako galit. naiinis lang. reward reward. megamall later with terai! i can't wait. oh there's more, a basic burger from bordo's (which is the size of a large one from brother's burgers) and a slice of chocolate cake from mernel's. haay. make my day. make my day.

ok rin pala dito sa space hub. the last time i surfed in primelink solutions, i downloaded a couple of songs from limewire then suddenly when i was about to log out their norton antivirus popped on the screen and warned me that they spotted a trojan virus in the system. shoot talaga. yan tuloy, nahiya na ko bumalik don. lol.

that's why i'm here. still have class, bye.

friday i'm in love

soundtripping at 'primelink solutions'. what an odd name for an internet hub. i'm starting to like 'the cure'. where do you find a public computer node with a LIMEWIRE? the best talaga primelink solutions. yak, endorser? hahaha. e wala. i love it here. everytime i sit here i becoming more determined to save for my acer ferrari because the computer tables are embelished with the ferrari logo. o, beat that! haha. flat screen pa. they're using an AMD Athlon processor. i think it's better than intel. ehehe. heh, ewan.

i'm wasting my money here. sige alis na ko. pa click na lang ng ads! thanks.

the hottest thing

if i can afford it, i'd save for an Acer Ferrari Laptop. too lazy for a picture. just google it. it's the hottest laptop ever. yeah, it's not the newest but it's the coolest i've ever seen (in a magazine - subject to change)! i love the sleek black plate with the Ferrari logo at the center and the red highlights at the sides. i would be the happiest person alive if i get it. though it's doesn't come in with an intel processor it still pays that it has 1 gig RAM (which is upgradable to 2 gigs. but come on! 1 gig is more than enough). i'm talking about super multi-tasking. then 100 gigs DDR. now i'm into super memory.

hello santa claus, if you're not dumb enough, you'll get what i mean. thanks.

the bus ride was unusually peaceful even though we're stuck in the usual highway traffic. maybe because i ate a basic burger from bordo's! haha. it could actually compete for brother's burgers. hmm.

i feel good. that's about it. mostly because i managed to finish our killer eng1 homework. whenever i open my notebook and read the instructions i could imagine the pages turning into a howler shouting at me to spend a week in the library and manually count the card catalogs or else get a 5. fyi, i already got a 5 in one of our exercises. good (great, actually) thing it wasn't recorded because i wrote my name in the wrong format. in her class it should ALWAYS be last name, given name, middle initial. otherwise you'll get a deduction for not following instructions. or in my case it won't be recorded. how lucky of me.

boom tarat is everywhere. i hear it from my classmates. i see it in sorrority initiations. i witness it in org reportings. and most of all, it's ever present in the congested lanes of commonwealth avenue. why? the buses are honking to its monotonous tune. while it made me laugh to think that at least the driver has a sense of humour, it's not at all pleasing to hear. one earsplitting hornblow is enough to get us out of the lane and at the same time damage our eardrums but why turn it to a song? i remember years ago, the famous bus hornblows will be to the tune of the standard beeping sound of a monotone nokia phone. wahahahaha. people are really inovative. i understand, sige.

haaay. ang saya saya ko talaga. i realized, i have to quit telling my sister about my crush because she tends to be too loud at times and i don't want people suspecting. i don't even tell my closest classmates about it for the same reason. which made me think that i better keep it to myself. it's not going to last anyway.

one more thing to be happy about. we only have one chem16 lab this week! hahaha that spared me 3 hours of living hell! i personally think lab gowns should be colored black instead of white, it's more appropriate since we are most prone to death inside the laboratory.

mr. brightside

i went online yesterday just to relieve myself from depression. apparently, when i was already done with my blog entry, the connection became super slow and my system has gone bonkers. sad to say but i just have to leave it as it is. good thing i've already downloaded enough songs to refresh my mp3 player. mostly josh groban.

hmm. but i'm okay now. i need not dwell on negative things, especially that i know it's gonna affect my whole week.

so first thing yesterday morning we had a quiz in math17. it was fairly easy but i was too careless. then as usual, i came in late in eng1. (almost) everybody does anyway. then i rushed to my chem16 class only to find out they've already started taking the quiz! haha. i panicked, really panicked that a.) i didn't understand the questions b.) i didn't answer even one question correctly and c.) i passed the wrong type of paper. hahaha.

after the horrible morning, i felt myself drained of all the optimism in my spiritual bank. i was so down the whole day that i was momentarily drawn back to my usual i'm-not-meant-to-be-here bickerings, which normally stops after realizing that i'm not the only one facing a wretched academic life despite gazillion hours of sticking my nose in a text book. whew. but like the Bible says, and like how i always remind myself, God won't give me something i can't handle.

yeah, it's like saying God won't give me a mug of hot tazo tea without a handle. but when it happens and i have no choice but to take the divine mug of tea, i am left with one option and that is to grasp the mug with my bare hands and burn my palms. but you see, eventually the tormenting heat will go away and after that i could, at last, share the afternoon in a blissful tea party with God. hahaha. weird.

during my second afternoon class, i was puzzled when i entered the classroom and found not a single soul lingering about. i panicked. i asked some people outside if someone stuck a note somewhere saying that there are no classes or that we have to transfer classrooms but found no definite answer. i was already headed downstairs when i recalled our teacher said we're having classes at the basement. so i skipped steps to reach the basement and found out it was non-existent. the building doesn't have a basement and i only realized that when i have already toured the whole first floor and found not one staircase that would lead me further below. haaay. good thing someone told me that i should be in the other building. so yun. -_-;;

the more i get bored, the more i do doodleworks. my current experimental style is pointilism. i've been doing simple shapes in my philo notebook and a couple more in my scratch papers. whenever i decide not to dwell much in studying from my lessons, i reach out for a ballpen and start drumming it erratically on a paper to err.. produce an image. haha. i only considered mastering it when sir dabalos asked us about the concept of pointilism which he compared to atoms... blah blah blah. i'm not interested. but it gave me the idea so, thank you.

come closer Friday.

cheers to the fruit of thy boredom

that is where i spent most of the time during my first 2 weeks in the dorm. i used a torn piece of graphing paper and used the infamous and unoficial campus ballpen, HBW. hahaha. it's the only thing i could do right other than make myself look like a stoned fish reading our chem16 lab manual. i swear, the lab is killing me. everytime i enter room A-127 and put on my lab gown i feel like a prisoner being held on an electric chair to die. luckily, i'm still alive. so wish me luck.

we just came back from sm north. hehehe. my dad decided to finally buy a new printer/scanner/copier because he's been having dillemas sending documents abroad through scan and our loser 3rd hand xerox centre gave up on us with a big blow. i understand. it died a natural death and its death only paved way to a new and better beginning in the identity of a newer and more powerful scanner. we bought the hp photosmart c3180. like the previous, it's also a 3in1. ayos. bagong scanner! so buena mano yang artwork na yan!

and it includes a free cheap looking adidas cap with the hp invent logo at the back. no thanks... but i'm wearing it now.

aww. i'm inspired to draw even more! yehey.
