blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape

i like that quote. :) wahehehe
 
T__T my whole body hurts. i feel like i've acquired muscle pain all over... and the only probable reason why i got it would be yesterday's activity... bike riding tutorial plus badminton. why, it couldn't be that tiresome to garner me pain such as this one?!?! wahaha... ok lang, at least i know i did have a good exercise... it's been a while since my last workout (which is also our last day in PE) so it's not a surprise. hahaha
 
workload progress update!
 
♥ i'm done with our 2 papers for hum1!
♥ i've also just finished researching for our topic in hist2, which includes india's postwar chronology. so boring.
 
so far, that's all i have accomplished till today.
it's not a lot, i tell you (though i can assure you they're not easy... esp the hum1 papers which rot my brains out). those are just the minor things from my list. the major ones are those that require studying. i have 3 exams on tuesday, hist2, micro1 and chem40. and i'm just as unalarmed as before.
 
here goes slacking off.
 
my plans, my plans.
 
sleep for now. hahaha
and when i wake up we're going back at elbi... when i get there... uhhh, maybe i'll start studying micro1. presumably i'll start at 12mn.
 
well it's not unusual if i start my day at 12mn, cos this is what happens everyday of the schoolyear. during mornings and afternoons, if i'm not in class, i'm either online or sleeping. >_>;
 
monday afternoon, me and my groupmates from es10a will meet to finish our project (a miniature model house). hopefully, we could finish it early because i need all the time i could get to study (now, that's a first time) hist2. if by grace we finish the project tomorrow, then we wouldn't be meeting during classhours on tuesday... which gives me just enough time to cram studying chem40.
 
see, and if all goes as planned, then i might as well be considered an efficient crammer.
 
but then, i have a feeling that we're not going to finish our 10a project tomorrow... which means it's going to eat up my proposed study time for chem40 on tuesday.
 
waduwayduuuu?!?! *insert panicking act here*
pray, it should work. ;)

at last i finally learned how to ride on a bike!!

you wouldn't know how proud i am of myself to finally learn how to ride on that 2-wheeled vehicle in less than an hour.

and the best part was, my parents were the ones who taught me!! it's sad enough that i missed that must-have childhood memory of having your dad teach you to ride a bike when you were like 5 or 6 y/o, but i guess 17 isn't too old to learn something of great necessity. wahehehe

actually, earlier this morning we went to QCMC... qc memorial circle to get an exercise and to just feeeeeel the park. then goes the bikes for rent, my sister (she doesn't know how to bike yet! hehe *snickers*) rented the one seater go-cart and my dad and i decided on a mountain bike. damn, that's a blasted one hundred per hour, plus the go-cart which is 60. man, i can still remember the bikes having a rental price-range of 40-50 only. the more wheels, the more expensive. but a hundred?!! waaaah. that's why i vowed to make the most out of an hour cos i don't want a hundred bucks wasted.

blahblah. so after of lot of unwanted bruises, a sore butt and shaky-and-sweaty hands, i was finally able to bike a mile without my dad behind. huhuhuhu man, i'm just so overwhelmed, i think i deserve a crown y'know. huhuhuhuhu

wahahaha. anyhow, that's just me. at least i know to bike already! just like the all the other kids in town. :) weeeeeee!

then there's the heavenly buko juice and lugaw. hmmm, just like the old days. i love it.

i figured: i can't write without background music. hehe yeah, as in, my mind will be totally blank if you face me with an empty word document with just the buzz of the computer gracing my ears.

:)

i so love the Hana Kimi OST! :)
the longer term? HANAzakari no KIMItachi e!

dmn you trojans.

paper on social construct:
progress: 0%

but at least i'm done with the poetry paper. hehe

wooooh! i just cried, man. it's been quite a while since i last cried hard (recall: korean movie, tha classic) and i'm so relieved i was given the chance to flush out the toxins that came along with my tears.

reason? naah, i don't think it's proper to share it here. besides, it has already been resolved and i thank God for it big time. if not for His grace, we couldn't have survived this night as a family.

now there's a clue. i'll leave it here.

viruses again?
oh trojans, you never leave me huh? but thanks to Avira AntiVir, i was able to get a hold of it before it inflicts greater damage. but then, having them quarantined is not enough. man, i want to crush them dead!!!

yo, i love horses (cos i was born under it, and they have this really cool manly charm that i like, specially the rich brown ones hehehe) but trojan viruses? hell no.

gosh, the scanner reads 12 detections already!! how far can it go still? omaygulay. i better let it scan wholly before i sleep.

how do i live?

kasabay ng pagka-reformat ng laptop na ito ay ang pagkawala (malamang) ng Adobe Photoshop 7 ko.

ang masaklap, hindi ko makita yung installer cd na regalo pa sakin ni Mika nung highschool. huhuhuhuhu

ang lungkot.

waaaaaah. ang lungkot talaga.
gusto ko panaman ng bagong layout. hmm...

ang ganda pala ng green/yellow/light-orange mix no? wala lang.. ang cool tingnan.

pero red parin talaga favorite ko. hehe

------------
one paper down! yess! 3 to go!
haha gooood luck!

goooood morning!

i'm trying to get a fraction of my 'holy week workload' done by starting our hum1 paper. haaay, it's always hard to start a composition. i'm not even sure if i'm getting the right ideas, i hope my groupmates won't hate me for it. i'm planning to finish it by tomorrow so that i could just ask a groupmate to edit and print it for us. i'm also planning not to attend hum1 on monday, but knowing me... i guess i couldn't afford to waste our remaining meetings. and besides, i've just committed a lot of absences in my other subjects. haaay

i'm not yet sleepy! maybe because i got a lot of sleep this afternoon. hehe, also we had a mini bible study awhile ago. just the usual, me, terai, mommy and daddy. :) we discussed a lot of things... my parents are trying to relive that old family tradition of conducting family bible studies at least once a week because they don't want us drawing farther from the Lord.

haaay, He's been so generous with me lately that i couldn't ask for more of his grace. so far, despite my still sinking academic standing, He still manages to supply me with a lot of enthusiasm and positivity. i think it's really rare for someone to keep the positive vibes flowing amidst the threatening adversity. woooohooo. i like the feeling of being happy and care-free and laid-back! yeeah.

or maybe, i am just someone who doesn't really care about getting As. i guess, i'm part of the academically indifferent pack. :) but hey, it's not that we like failing, or enjoy having our names posted on the bulletin for guidance counseling... we just want to pass. that's all, the higher the better, but we keep our standards low, in case anything goes wayward then there's no one to blame. we'll just keep on living, knowing we did what's right.

by the way, for those who are looking for an effective flv to avi/mpeg converter... try Freez (just search in google or wherever), it's a freeware!!! yeah, you can adjust the settings to widen the resolution but i guess it's better by default so that the quality will remain as is. well, there really isn't an easy way to fix the quality of the vid especially if it's already bad when took it raw. :)

hmmm...
now we're looking for a dorm to stay just for the summer classes. apparently, the apartments we inquired on won't be vacated till the first sem so we have to look for another place if we don't want to end up being grilled this summer.

oh, by grace.

hello thursday

i boarded the bus last night at around 6 and i came home at around 1130. >____>;; grrrr... super traffic sa cubao.
hay ang daming factors eh...
...the bus i'm on who still went to the side of the street where PUBs are supposed to load passengers (because it usually takes a lifetime to get out of that lane)
...the provincial buses who take off every minute and scream 'give way! give way!' ay nakakainis...
...also the mob of people flooding each terminal... sometimes they just get on your nerves to see them crossing the street from all directions...
 
but then, it all boils down to this sacred season.
hello, i'm not catholic. normally, i shouldn't give a damn... like now, but out of respect and also out of this obligatory sense that i should glorify this season because our country is a catholic nation... ok, i would set aside the irrate feeling i almost catered last night.
 
eh kagabi naman na yun eh, so tapos na.
 
honestly, it didn't really irritate me that much, maybe because i'm too tired to waste energy on whining (there isn't anyone to belch out my anger anyway. i was alone), or maybe because i'm in a sorta good mood that day because i was able to download the whole 22 tracks of the original Hana Kimi OST plus 2 additional tracks (the opening and ending theme). hehehe
 
ang nakakainis lang talaga... masyadong mausok. feeling ko i could just die of carbon dioxide poisoning (C monoxide na rin)... naka ordinary bus lang kasi ako eh. i thought, like the usual, i could marvel on the cool night air... but no. hahaha
 
pero ok lang talaga. nag-gagalit galitan lang ako. hehehe
 
heeeey!
natuloy ang aming house/apt scouting yesterday.
we were able to inquire in 2 apartments... though we'll still continue looking for more this monday... yun. we looked in manuela and villegas apts near st. therese chapel... ok yung manuela! gusto ko lang ulit sya makita para maimagine ko kung pano ko ii-interior yung natatanging kwarto to fit 4 of us. o.O
 
-----------------------------------
this laptop has just been reformatted.
grabe. i thought i'd lost my files already. buti na lang nagback-up si daddy! dapat lang, SOP yun!!
 
sige, at dahil mas mabilis na sya ngayon... pwede na maglaro! yeheeey!
 
uhm, sige sige... papers muna. >___>;;

hmmm... katatapos lang ng 4th lecture exam namin sa MCB1 kanina... thankful ako kasi WALANG ESSAY!!! yahooooo! matching type, multiple choice chaka true or false lang. ayos na rin yun diba? hehehe and to think na the night before lang ako nagsimula mag-aral.. like 12 mn? pero di rin eh, nakatulog ako... nagising ako ng 4am... e naalimpungatan lang ako nun kaya nakatulog ako hanggang 8!!!!

ang yabang ko kasi.. kala ko maiksi lang yung coverage kasi dalawang handouts lang yun... eh ang kapal pala. nyahahaha... exam starts at 10... so mega cramming na ito.

wala. walang akong magawa. super ayoko aralin yun eh. so binasa ko na lang yung buong handouts tapos nag underline ng mga keywords... tapos yun. tulog ulit. eh ano ba, matakaw talaga ako sa tulog.

buti na lang walang pasok sa hum... pero may klase ako ng 230 eh (dapat wala kasi halfday daw ngayon)... dahil dyan, di ako papasok dun. hehe

currently: watching Hana Kimi and downloading its OST
ang ganda ng OST nilaaaaaa!!! :D :D

AT MAMAYA,
