i'm left with the household chores! boooo... terai will be leaving for elbi later. haaaay. pero bukas, ako naman! i'm afraid of the tuition fee... what if tumaas? i can't make a proper cost of matriculation assessment with their irregular hikes. haynaku talaga. i just hope mom will give me more than enough money for the tuition, apartment and fare... because i'm counting on my internet agenda and dvd scouting to make my day and without extra money all of those are down in a big blur. >____>; i'm also looking forward to checking the apartment and listing what's needed to be put in, like appliances and furnitures. haha, that's like a major concern! if we come there with the unit totally bare, we'll have to eat outside because there's no tables and chairs... ayoko gumastos. i'm trying to save a lot of money for this sem because i want to buy a lot of things. T___T hopefully there's a cabinet please let there beeeee. it's already a big hassle for me to carry the refrigerator (which won't be delivered till next next week) and the BED!

pero hmm, i was thinking to just buy the bed, cabinet, tables, chair and stuff at the Bodega ng Bayan para free delivery at mura! and i want to go there to canvass! it seems fun and exciting and yeahboi masayaaaaa.

i'm excited to decorate the apartment and transform it into a real home
pero wait, we need potable WATER to last us our first week. i can endure a bare house (kahit matulog ako sa sahig) basta may drinking water, ohplease. and on the following weeks we have to fill in with the kitchen stuff... dish organizer, can opener, knife, cooking stove?, ref... haha ang sarap magplano diba?

but i'm quite assured that after weeks of adjustment it'll come out really nice and comfortable for us. after all, every new apartment owner goes through all the bare essentials planning with her housemates.

excited lang ako. i'm more thrilled to move in to a new house than actually got to classes. hahaha

BTW, i have a dvd of Romantic Prince at last! yeah! i'm gonna watch now! :)

haaay buhay

i think i got my mp3 player a virus. last night while i was checking my photos i entered the 'Trinoma' album and saw a thumbnail with a question mark, i opened it but it was just a blank image with some dots. since i was pretty sure it wasn't part of the folder, i knew it was a virus of something. when i hit back, ALL OF THE PHOTOS IN THAT ALBUM ARE GONE!!!!

and so... to prevent further damage, i am backing up my files now in preparation for reformatting. T___T;

another thing that tore my heart gravely, MY VIDEOS ALBUM IS EMPTY. i don't know how! but i can only be sure it's a virus! or something equally harmful and dangerous to deal with. i hate reformatting because i have gigabyte-sized folders to backup and it's gonna take a long time to get them all relocated for site reconstruction.

good thing, i still have some videos in my docs. but then it's not complete! huhuhu

i'll be going to elbi this wednesday to pay my tuition and check on the apartment!! :) who wants to come with me? hehehe :)

feeds, anyone?

i'm not about to put up an explanation on how feeds work, though i'm giving my two cents on it... errr, and probably a little bit of an explanation too (as opposed to my first statement).

honestly, up to now... i'm not sure how it truly works and how useful it is to regular web browsers like me. but since it's getting mainstream (or is already), i tried to get my hands on it... by applying at Feedburner. :)

blogger blogs have their own rss/atom feeds, you just have to key it in either of these formats:

//bloggerusername.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
//bloggerusername.blogspot.com/atom.xml
//bloggerusername.blogspot.com/rss.xml

by knowing that, you can create a link of it to your main page so your visitors can take a look and subscribe if they wish.

also, by knowing the feed link of your favorite websites, you can 'feed' their addresses to 'Feed Aggregators' --- these are free web services that offer to monitor your subscription in a single account so you don't have to load multiple pages to check for updates... like Feedburner. hehe, i guess what got me lured into it is that i get to see how many subscribers i have. i'm not really interested in subscribing to websites, i think it's more fun to load them each... to appreciate the design and all. rss feeds come in really crappy templates.

*ohbytheway, i think most aggregators don't honor OLD blogger users.

hmmm, as far as i know, there's a Feed option in IE7 and Firefox that you could use to bookmark your favorite site feeds, but i really don't know how different it is from the 'Favorites' option which works almost similarly. >____>;

oh, and for this day...

after church, we went to mall of asia. :) i was with my family plus my cousin- mark, we brought him along to buy him new clothes and stuff... hehehe. we had picnic in the car again... and was delighted to see we're not alone! a certain family in a van, 2 cars away from us, is also having their own picnic, facing the side of the parking building where manila bay can be seen in its beautiful glory. hehehe

haha, and theeeen... we just walked around. bought blah blah blah. mommy treated us to starbucks, yehey. then i bought terai a donut from krispy kreme (first time!), ang mahal, pero heaven naman pala. no wonder. next time, mag-iipon ako.

waitwait, while i was walking to starbucks near imax... bumabalik yung mga memories ko with mike. hahahaha, kinakabahan ako pero keri lang. he wasn't there though, joaqin was (haha close?)! actually, sya nanaman. sya rin yung dati eh, though during that time, nandun pa si mike... i wonder what happened.

free kaya yung used coffee grounds na naka-pack dun? i was planning on getting one! hehehe, i want to plant sunflowers. hahahah

extremely bored

you know what happens when i expose myself too much with my blog?

i get sick of it. it makes me want to change layouts over and over again.

while i didn't do a major revamp right at this moment, i did eliminate some sidebar elements like the larger than life icons and the forewarn, i moved them to the About page (check above links). i also got rid of the Feedjit live visitor log. i figured that i shouldn't be giving a major damn to people who visit this blog unless they COMMENT or actually told me that they came. i'm so tired of fishing for indirect flatteries (ie. checking my stats for repeating visitors and wanting to track their location via IP add) hahahaha. maybe i should just... err blog away! blogabooo! whatever. hehehehe oh, something's telling me that if i were a celebrity or just someone who writes really sensible and insightful entries, i could be drowning in traffic right now. but guess what, i'm not.

one thing i added that might actually prove useful, Feeds. Blogger has an automated feeds page for each account, usually it's at the bottom of the page which says 'Subscribe to Posts (Atom)'. not at all noticeable. when i imported the haloscan thingamajig in this blog, the Posts Feed was replaced with a Comments feed instead, and who the heck needs a Comments feed? so i looked for the atom feed of this blog and gave it a spot right there on the top of the sidebar. :)

iwannaswearaloudreally! i was searching for feed icons like what you see with the feed link tuyeryt, and i believe i sort of sacked another imbecile bug or something more harmful. damnitall. and you know, watdapak, i hated what happened afterwards. i couldn't (for some stupid tight asshole) simultaneously access photoshop and internet explorer. damn it for ruining my multitasking jigs. what more, i couldn't open 'blending properties' at photoshop. wtfck. really really ruined my day.

and so i shall turn over this computer to my sister in her quest for a feasible thesis topic.

totally pissed me off like hell in a bullcrap.

back to haloscan :)

i brought back my old comment moderator, haloscan! hehehe :)
that's all. hahahaha

please comment and make me happy! i don't care if the entry is a super old one hahaha

probable schedule



i haven't finalized it yet. though i didn't have much problems enlisting even though i was given an initial load of just 5 units a month ago. oh anyway, i like it. though some breaks are too small to go loitering around. i would have preferred a continuous schedule without breaks. at least i don't have to worry about finding someone and someplace to spend the break with. i realized going back to the apartment in between short breaks can be lethal (like what i did last sem), i can just be lulled to sleep before i even considered walking to my next class.

anyhooow. i'm scared. freakin scared of failing again and again. but look, the worst that i could get for this sem is a probationary status ohyeah, i'm being a pessimist again. it could be math36 or chem32 (agaaaain, those two) or both. i guess i could handle physics and stat with enough sweat and grime to toil with.

and hum2. i'm so looking forward to it. why do i only have 1 (to none) fun subject every sem? last last sem, i had no fun subjects, even GEs can prove to be a prick in the ass with just the most stupid professors. last sem, i only had 1 fun subject... hum1 because i had crush there bwahaha. oh, when i was a new freshman, almost every subject is worth looking forward to because i share most of my subjects with a crush. hahahaha anyway, those were the days. >___>; i'm getting older and it's not fun flailing over crushes still.
