Yo people! Just posting a notice to tell you guys that I would be out of commission in terms of internet for the next 4 and a half months until I'm done with board exam. I splurged all throughout Nov and Dec reading fanfics and mangas so come Jan 2009 I will be fully concentrated in reviewing. I tend to get carried away when reading fanfics and mangas that I don't bother reviewing anymore so I'm quiting cold turkey. Anything not related to reading I have control over but when it comes to reading, bah! I can read the whole day. I'll even give up reading books cuz I might not be able to stop myself from finishing everything first before reviewing. Sigh.....I can already tell I'm going to have a very hard time come the next few months. I hope I get to stick to my resolve. I really really want to passed the board exam and my goal is to be within the top 10. I might as well reach high right?

Anyway, so, to those I have not replied to yet in terms of email, I will do that maybe after a month of not touching the computer or if I think a punishment so horible that I will be able to just stick on email only and not get sidestracked. I'm not yet sure what punishment I should decide upon. Anyway, that's all.

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Mwahahaha... Japanese people are coool! They make the craziest and weirdest game show and punishments! I'm currently watching the show now where its a Majide day and the game was "You stand still. No, you stand still". It's a game where two people sit in a rotating chair that rotates 100 rpm!! Dude! 100 rpm! and then walked to the other side to get a lock and a key then met at the middle where there is a rotating disk there and unlock the lock from the person wearing it. Hehehe...it was soo funny to watch. The camera people were kinda mocking them. The costume was a wedding gown and tux and the big muscle football stature guy would be wearing the wedding gown.

The losing team had to sleep in a capsule hotel. The bed is literally the size of a cofine inside a capsule. Think of a microwave the size of a cofine. The winning team got to stay at the Hyatt Hotel which is one of the most expensive and high class hotel. And they have their own personal chef that will cook anything they ask and do you know what the girl ask? PIZZA!! Dude, pizza!! I could have wring her neck if I was there!

Anyway, that's all. Just random ramblings!!

I'm finally finished uploading all the pics and the videos!!! Please see them. It took soo long upload them.

Please check them out!!

Gahh…my sis advise me to do everything I want to do, like read fanfics, this December and come January, I start getting serious with my board review. Board review started Nov 26 but I haven’t really been serious in reviewing in the sense that I am recopying my notes and then re-answering the problems and then reading up on some that needs memorizing. I kinda took my sis’s words to heart. Soo, starting January, you can expect that I will be in hiatus with the internet. I will not touch the laptop cuz if there is one thing I get carried away its reading fanfics. So, I will not be answering emails, and other stuff linked to internet unless really really important until boards are done which will be on April 21-23. Until then, texting me will have to do.

I have uploaded 3 videos. One I saw it by accident, the second one was by my sis and the last one was from Church and it was really really nice. I hope you guys enjoy them!!

Wow….for the first time, I got a sprained ankle. My right ankle grew to the size of a walnut. It’s not really painful to walk but sure is uncomfortable to sleep cuz I had to have it immobilize and elevate. Anyway, on that day as well, last last Sunday, my sis and I decided to buy an x-stick. It’s kinda like a skateboard but not. I uploaded the picture of our x-stick. It cost 3500 pesos and it’s kinda cool. I was really excited about it. This is one of the first times that I actually done something umm….different. Hehehe..my sis did comment that I’m starting to really become a punk type girl with my obsession with leather bands and black clothing. But really, I just like them. I can’t wait for my ankle to fully heal so that I’m able to devote one day in practicing with the x-stick.

Weeehhh!!!! I got to experiences soooo many things at Malaysia. At first, I was really down that I was going to spend a lot of pesos to go to a country that I have not even put anywhere in my “wish to go to places” list. I really thought that Malaysia would just be similar to the Philippines so why bother going to a place like that? I have limited funds so I really would rather spend it on someplace I would like, but I got over that and I actually enjoyed it.

I uploaded the pics so I hope you guys enjoy them.

Okay, so first, it was my first time going to NIA 3 so I was amaze by the place. I only have ridden a plane when I went to Hong Kong and I was really young (grade 1 or 2) then so I don’t remember much. Anyway, my whole freaking family was there except for my brother and it was kinda embarrassing because Prec, Pochu and Panj didn’t have a whole entourage with them. And my sis kept on bothering me to take pics cuz it could be my last day. She kept on doing that, saying last something. It’s like I’m going to die or something. Well, that was her last day of boards, nursing, so I guess she felt free to finally stop being stress over studying then the boards then about the results.

Anyway, while we were checking in, there was this European guy who got really mad and was yelling at the guy over the counter. He was saying how he heard many things about Cebu Pacific and those things were right about them (he inputted some curses somewhere) and hell if he will pay 76k when they lost his reservation 4 months ago. The whole thing was actually interesting to say the least. I was expecting more drama and stuff, but the European guy just went to the back and called somebody.

Moving on, we had a problem as well with the baggage. Stupid journals…La Salle made us bring 25 Asean Journals each, which weight at least 6 kg. The three of them, panj prec and pochu had those stroller traveling bags and with the 4 6 kgs boxes of journals, we were exactly on the limit of 60 kg. Good thing that I was using a duffle bag so I can put it in hand carry. What the problem was due to Sir Aure (his one of our profs that is always absent minded and really stubborn no matter how wrong he is already he still won’t listen. At times, he is really annoying and as a prof, he’s not really one of our favorites but he is really good so most of our majors, he was the one who taught us. He’s an okay guy I suppose but as a prof, auuugh!!). The problem was that his luggage itself was overweight (until now I wonder what the hell is in his bag), 18 kg only 15 kg allowed each, and he was ask to bring 6 kg of journal as well. He insisted on putting his luggage with us to remove some of the excess weight even when we explained that our added weight is just right. Grrrr…we went back and forth and still he didn’t understand. Finally, he just decided to pay the 3 kg of his excess and just distribute the journals to us. Would you believe even his hand carry was heavy, about 10 kg. What the hell does he have in his bags?!

Anyway, during the flight (which was delayed for 2 hours, we left Manila around 11 pm) we were fortunate enough to get the middle seats which were wide. The guys in front of us were European guys and it was funny to watch them cuz they just met on the plane and they become friends already, exchanging stories and planning to go to together to tour around Malaysia. We were not eavesdropping cuz they were not exactly keeping their voices down. I was sitting with Panj and Prec while Pochu was separated from us and sited on the other side between two foreign guys. Pochu is usally knocked out on flights so she was already sleeping the minute she sat down. Hehehe..we were waiting for her head to drop to either of the guys…it was kinda disturbing though cuz one of the guys beside Pochu kept on scratching his feet, mainly because he injured it, we think. Pochu said that it was one of the things she saw when she wakes up from time to time.   

That trip was bloody uncomfortable. I started to remember some details of my flight back when I was a kid and I remember that the plane was huge, (2 2 seaters on both ends and then 4 seaters in the middle, and there was a head phone for the tv) unlike that in Cebu Pacific. I couldn’t sleep well and once we landed at Kuala Lumpur around 3 am, I felt like I was beat up all over. Too bad we didn’t took a picture during the flight and then at the airport. The airport was really run down. I’ll go ahead and tell what happen to us returning to Manila.

There are 2 airports in KL, KLIA (the big, better one) and then KLCT (the old, run-down one). Apparently, Cebu Pacific does not state which terminal it is and we all assumed that it was KLIA cuz when we were researching on how to travel and about Malaysia, most of them mentioned KLIA. So when we got there, I was really surprised and disappointed. On the things I researched, they said a lot of stuff like how the train is connected to the terminal and we could take it to go the city or how they are taxi limousine offered or couches and other stuff. And really we didn’t thought otherwise cuz when a taxi driver ask us where our terminal is flight back, he said that only Air Asia uses the terminal of KLCT and everything else is at KLIA. So, imagine what happen to us when we were going back to the Philippines.

We got to Malaysia Dec 1 3 am and our flight back is Dec 5 1am. On Dec 4, we decided that that day will be only touring day. We asked a shuttle bus to pick us up and that was around 10 pm and estimated time of arrival to the airport was 11 pm. When we got there, I was wondering why on earth the terminal looks really nice. When we got around asking, we found out that we were on the wrong airport!!!! Imagine the panic we had. We didn’t care anymore how much it would cost us to get to the right airport, which was 45 minutes away, we just took it. We took a taxi (a nice one at that) to go there and we got there 12 pm. Grabe!! I felt panic for awhile cuz I really thought we will miss our flight and we don’t have enough money to buy another one (La Salle helped us pay the flight and hotel accommodations. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t go no matter how much that would bring trouble for my adviser). We got the back seat of the plane. That ride was worse then the flight going to Malaysia. We couldn’t inclined our seats and poor Panj was cramp up. Fortunately for him, there was an opening at the middle and he was able to transfer. I was in and out of sleep and when I woke up from time to time, there was a guy seating in Panj’s seat!! That was a surprise. I was about to lean on his shoulders to get a little bit comfortable when I noticed that Panj shrunk. Good thing I was not really asleep. Anyway, the trip back to Manila was nosy cuz the flight had more Filipinos in it.

Okay, going back to the other 3 days between. When we got to Kuala Lumpur, we had problem with our hotel accommodations but it was soon fixed. It was nice traveling to our hotel cuz Malaysia’s road are really wide and they have such different and beautiful structures. It was amazing to look at. We couldn’t check-in yet (we got there around 7am) cuz there was no clean room yet so we left our bags and decided to crush at Mcdos (our first meal at Malaysia was at Mcdos) cuz Panj and I were really tired. We slept about an hour before we left Mcdo to go to the malls. Our Hotel, Radius International Hotel, was situated in the shopping district so it was easy to reach all the places you need to shop and look around for. They have really nice malls as well, especially the placing of their escalators.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell about another one of our boo boos. Here’s the deal, before going to Malaysia, we were already aware that 1 Ringgit was 14 pesos. When we got to the KLCT, we immediately changed our dollars to Ringgit. Panj and I were the ones in line. So when we were looking on the exchange rate papers, we saw that the “we buy” side for Philippines peso was at 7.something. So, imagine our surprise to find out that it was not 14 but half and from that day, we thought that everything at Malaysia was cheaper than in the Philippines (for Malaysian people 10 Ringgit was already expensive for a food and that 10 Ringgit was already food type from fancy food store here; so imagine our surprised when we convert it to peso, it would just be 70 pesos). So, with that mindset, we shopped and eat and pay without being THAT mindful of our money.

 Lo and behold, on Dec 3 (We kinda slept through Dec 1 with just mall hopping and then Dec 2 was the start of the convention and we found out that Panj would be presenting on that day 530pm so dec 2 was more or less spend at the hotel while Prec&Poch and me will present 1030am dec 3 so half day only for shopping for souveniers and dec 4 whole day strictly for touring other places besides malls) NIGHT we figured out that it was not 7pesos per Ringgit but actually 14 pesos per Ringgit. Really. On Dec 3 night, Panj decided to exchanged some of his Pesos (previously, we only had our dollars exchanged) and he was wondering why the amount exchanged was smaller. So, we went about calculating stuff and one of us finally noticed that it was written on the exchanged rate 100 PHILIPPINE PESOS -------7 RINGGIT!!!!!!!!!!!

For the lack of better word, Fuck.

Yeah, then that was the time we realized that everything was really expensive (we have been paying 10 Ringgit for a taxi drive 10 to 15 minutes away) compared to Philippines (Dr. Gallardo, Panj’s thesis adviser mentioned that once and we were all wondering why she would say that. Yeah, we found that out that night). So, we were all depressed and stuff and we went back to the Hotel (good thing that we ate our lunch only through the cup noodles and bread we brought) around 9pm to sulk and be depressed so that we could get over it to enjoy our touring the next day. Prec and I at least got a bargain when we bought our USB there, which was less expensive than at the Philippines. But really, even though everything was expensive when converted to peso, the money you have is really enough to go around, shop. We exchanged about 200 dollars, so that is times 3.5 to get the ringgit. In Peso, that would be 10,000 pesos for around 5 days going around, shopping and eating. So I guess it was not that bad and thinking about it, it was actually kinda funny.

Last major thing that happened was about my presentation. I was going to present dec 3 morning. I was sooo freaking nervous the day before that I might as well be hyperventilating. After Panj finishes his presentation, we kinda went around for awhile and return to the hotel around 11pm. We all fixed our presentation Dec 1 cuz we didn’t know when and what time we will be presenting and on dec 2, we , Pochu&Prec and me, revised our presentation while Panj was preparing for his. So, on that night, we were just practicing and hell if I was not nervous. I kept on stuttering and forgetting what I was suppose to say and kept on repeating some lines. Panj opened the TV but left to take a smoke after his bath. I was left alone the room (which is kinda creepy at night cuz there are 3 paintings of thin malay girls that I felt was staring at me. One was in front of my bed, one on top of my bed and the other on top of panjs bed). AND out of nowhere, the TV is commercializing a horror movie!! At first, I didn’t notice it. I mean, I heard the creepy sounds but I was too busy being nervous about my presentation and falling at my practice but when I look up and saw Haley Barry and those creepy sounds, I immediately recognize it to be Gothika. So, I jumped out of my bed and frantically trying to close the tv (I didn’t lunge for the remote control cuz I forgot about and instead went to the tv to manually close it which was really stupid) and jumping all around. Sheesh!! As if the room wasn’t creepy enough at night. I was contemplating on running to pochu and prec’s room but I had to pass the full length mirror so I didn’t bother. I just jump back on my bed, burrowed under and tried to practice and failing.

Anyway, when I told the rest about my moment, Panj had the heart to inform me that he left a surprised on our bathroom mirror. He left a message “Len, I can see you” on the mirror while it was fogged up and it will stay there until tom when I took a bath (I’m the one who takes a bath first since I wake up early then Panj) and the damn mirror fogs up showing the message (I really disliked mirrors for their often usage in horror movies). I felt my heart would burst thinking what would happen if Panj hadn’t inform me, which Pochu berated Panj for (damn Pochu and her sadistic side). I insisted Panj to take a bath first. I was willing to actually push him off the bed when he doesn’t get up (I was actually looking forward to that) but he did get up so oh well.

Anyway, that is beside that point. On the day of my presentation, I was soooo nervous that my faced actually acquired colored without make-up. I was so red in the face that I looked like I was having a allergic reaction and I was swearing again and again. My room was freaking huge!! Pochu (she’s the one who presented for their group) and I essentially have the same room. It was the huge banquet room. A divider was just pulled out to divide the room. Holy Mother of Hell!! It was not half. It was 1/3 and 2/3 and I got the freaking 2/3!!!!!   

I didn’t start well, kinda stuttered and stuff but as I presented, my nervousness left (it help that I removed my glasses so I can’t see anyone and I insisted that all the people I know go to Pochu’s presentation. I was fine with just my adviser. It makes me feel more nervous when people I know are in the room) which was really weird cuz you are suppose to get nervous as the presentation goes on. Anyway, I jumped when there was a gong sound (it was actually a utensil hitting a glass, but hey, it sounded like a gong to me!) and was frantic again thinking I was out of my 15 minutes presentation (10 for presenting 5 for Q&A but you can eat some of the 5 mins) but I remained relatively calm. And when I was done, there was this one guy who questioned and I couldn’t understand him or his question! He asked “ Can you explained why your sorption of oil keeps on increasing as time goes by?” To me, the questioned meant something simple as “Why do I kept on getting fat as I eat?” Well, cuz you keep on eating!!! I didn’t know whether I understand it right or he meant something that I haven’t figured out. I answered some crap answer like we haven’t reach the saturation point even with a week as the time. Anyway, one of the presentors who’s journal I read and used called me over, got my index card (which I didn’t really used. I don’t know why I bother in making them when I end up not using it all the time) and wrote out some equation and graph and explained to me the answer to the guys question (I don’t remember if the guy took my crap since I everything was fuzzy) which I still didn’t get by the way. I mean, I got the professors theory he wrote out on the index card but I didn’t get what it has to do with the question. Anyway, he thought that I was a Masteral student and I was kinda proud with his amazement to find out that I was only an undergrand student and had manage to do a mathematical study. If you have seen some of the studies there, I felt that my thesis was nothing compared to them, but I think most of them are masteral or doctorate level already. I think that only a few undergrad students were there.

Hmmm…I think the last interesting thing that happen to us was the last day when we were going touring. We planned to take the train (I was kinda sad that we didn’t) and then walked around the place we decided to tour. Fortunately, we met a great taxi driver. He became our tour guy/taxi driver/history teacher/culture teacher. He was really friendly and informative. We finished the tour early and was done around 3pm so we decided to watch a movie. Ehehe….we watched Bolt at Malaysia. It was actually nice, there movie theatre. Hmmmm….I guess that’s all.

To know more, look at the pictures, but I’m kinda lazy to put a caption on everything though. Oh well.

Hehehehe…I have been absent in the internet loop for sooo long already. All I have been doing is reading fanfics and I haven’t even bothered to check my emails or reply to anyone. There’s actually a story behind that.

The first two weeks, I think was because our internet was not cooperating with us and both our desktop computer broke at the same time so I was busy between contacting smartbro(which is really hard by the way and they have this supper annoying waiting tone that just make me want to strangle somebody) and trying (and failing miserably) in fixing the family desktop. After that, few weeks of my absences was because we didn’t have a maid and since I am the only one in the house who doesn’t have school (yet) or boards (yet) or work (kinda),  I do all the laundry and cleaning around the house. Considering how many we are at home (six) I had loads of laundry to do and cleaning ain’t easy when some of the people at home doesn’t cooperate. Anyway, that went on about 3 weeks before my Malaysia trip and then 1 week of Malaysia trip which I have the pics and story on what happen uploaded and then coming back from Malaysia, catching up on board review and the most important thing, the lazy bug! I didn’t feel like writing or replying to anyone so I just use the internet to get some fanfics and then pull it off. I can’t find the English translation but basically, kapag di ko feel gumawa ng bagay, di ako gagawa. Madalas ganun ako sa lahat ng mga bagay whether studies, or chores or something the exemption to the rule is reading. I can read anytime I want. Often times, I have to push myself really hard. What happens then is that I will continue working until something stops me again. Talk about Inertia and Momentum.

Anyway, today, I got over the huge inertia and now I am on the role on writing and replying to everyone. As you could probably notice that I have suddenly soo many blogs out. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy my other entries…

Hehehe...I decided to write a short blog before dissapearing for a while again. My mom said that we, my sis, me and my younger bro, can go leave the house to go to church while she stays at home (for those who don't know, I'm half maid half bum) to watch the house. It has been so long since I went to church and I felt that I have drifted far far away from God. It has been about 5 to 6 months since I last went. I like the message today.

It was about turning back to God and giving it all to him and finding your life mission. I especially like the pastor who spoke it, Paster Luison and the woman who did the testamony. Her testamony was about how she ignored God's call to her. She is a very succesful woman with a loving husband and 3 daugthers. She gave birth to a deaf child (the first call) and then to a blue baby (the 2nd call) and the last call she finally respond was when she found out she had brain tumor and has four months left to leave. Her pastor friend help them through it and she return to God. She just had her brain tumor removed last month and the doctor told her that she was 2 Christmas with her family and friends and when God makes a miracle, she will still live among us. She said that we shouldn't be like her that ignored God's calling and she regretted all those years she wasted not being able to bring people to God.

Anyway, I uploaded a song that I heard long time ago during my High School and the message today maid me remember it. Listen to the song, it is really wonderful.

Hehehe...I imported those blog entries I made from live journal here so now I have more entries!! Yehey!!! Hehehe....I know much more people here so it is much more fun to post. Although I don't post often since I tend to get too lazy to do much of anything other than read stories. 

Aurgh! Kill me now. Academics is a drag!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't done anything related to academics. Don't know if that is a good thing or not. Damn! I know I have to do things but I just don't have the energy to bother myself with it. The deadlines are all looming in on me, but what the heck, I still don't care. It's weird though. I seem to not care but I feel really panicky about it. Damn! Life is really confusing. Take for example now, I should be sleeping now so I could do ch2 and ch4 of thesis latter in the morning while doing the experiment. Instead, I'm doing this. Tsk, tsk, tsk..... I seem to have reach the bottom point. I can't even summon enough energy to bother doing all the responsibility bestowed upon me. I find even reading tiresome nowawdays. Gah! I must really be wasting away. Damn! I'm scared to think that I might not make it pass this point.

SIGH.......

Anyway, I watch Alvin and the Chipmuck's the movie. Theordore was sooooooo adorable. Like a fat bouncy furball!!!! I wanted to squeal, yes I know the word I just can't spell it, while I was watching the movie. BUT of course, it is not my nature to do so. Heheh... i think people will really g et shock if I do that. Pochu was FREAK out when I nuzzled (yes, nuzzled, as in a cat nuzzling its owner) her two weeks ago. She got the shivers. In my defence, I just woke up from a 30 minute sleep so I was pretty out of it. Besides, right after waking up, I went to work on our thesis. I lost the weirdness around 2 am. I was unusually ummm.. happy that night/morning. Overnights do weird stuff to ya.

Anyway, I'm downloading Enchanted right now. I got curious with the show. Steph, Pochu and Prec seemed to really like the show. I'm feeling guilty or hesistant in watching the show though. I'm suppose to be doing RRL and Methodology for the thesis revision. Grrr....thesis is starting to really feel like a cockroach. You just can't get rid of it.

Anyway, tomorrow is GREEN IDOL! I can't wait. I get to see a interesting show. Heehehe... I seem to be enjoying my stay in Lasalle rather late. I believe that only last term did I get to go out of my usual itinerary and try out as well as see different stuff. Like the Dance Dish (THAT WAS SOOOOOO COOOLLLL!!!! Especially the three guys that crossdress and was wearing freaking HIGH HEELS!! Dude! They even jump around and roll around in those!! And the dress, Damn!!!) and the Dodgeball (CRAP! DUDE! That was awesome. Balls flying around!! And the kiddies! Their like search and destroy. We also got to see the weird soccer players in action. Oh! And the ME people were cool as well. They play well and hehehe...laging one versus 6 ang isang team. They even did suicide jump!!! And the baseball players, wow! Talk about throwing a hard ball. Hehehe...the officer team had a funny way of playing dirty. It wasn't bad or anything. It was funny. The opponents didn't really mind them doing dirty tricks. The participants were all good sports, except for the stupid Swim teams, both of them. Grabe. Sinerioso talaga nila. The game didn't end up fun because of those soar losers. Grr....they annoyed me. Sila pa ang napunta sa semi-finals. Dapat natalo na cla. Pikon pa cla. That event was really awesome. I got to bash and tease Alvin to. Heheh... Alvin is a cool dude, though I don't get it why a lot of girls fall for his looks. Oh, yeah. I told him that straight out. heheh).

I'm meeting a lot of people now, mainly because I have a different rels class and have POLISCI. Although the other new people is because of Pochu and Prec and Panj and the others. It's nice to get to know those people. I like them. They are laid back and I get to know new things. I also met up with my classmates in high schools. Seems like their perception of me is still the same. I guess that I haven't change much since High School. I just became more sadistic and masmahilig magalaska. It's probably because people here are more accepting or they get me when I tease them. I feel more free here because I don't have to hold back my humor. I took a tickle test testing out what kind of humor I have. Of course, the results was that my humor is sarcastic. Hehehe...Prec has told me plenty of times that I am mean. Although I don't mean to be mean to hurt people. I mean it as fun. Anyway, that's getting drag on. No point at all.

Hmmm... I running out of words, coherent and sense words or stories or things to say. Let's see tomorrow or later in the morning if I get the inspiration to type. Then again, people don't read my blog so I must be a LOONY person to be writing this in such a way that I have an audience. Talk about the brick to insanity. Ah yes, Sir Auresenia can do that to you. I would want to have people read my blog/livejournal though. I would want other people besides from that I know to read it. It would be interesting to have the people in livejournals, those I don't know, to read this and I get to be friends with them. I applied for an international penpal, but I'm not having any luck with getting any penpal. I'm a pathetic person. Sigh... I guess that I don't have the dynamic person that people get attracted to. Though I guess that makes sense. People tend to forget about me and just leave me in the shadows. I don't have the charm to even have people come to me for my companionship. Oh well, I guess that I would probably achieve that when I'm supper old.

Ah, ramblings.

Yo!

I just got back from the doctors. Apparently, I have acute laryngitis with acute bacterial infection of my left trachea. Nerd talk for saying that my voice box is inflammed and have green phlegm. Anyway, I'm not allowed to talk at all for three days and then minimal talking for the rest of the week. It's to have my voice box to heal. Nothing is really in pain but I do sound like I had a shouting marathon 24 hours. Even my cough has a "pios" sound. You know, the high pitch annoying hacking sound.

Anyway, hehehe....about the reporting on the Chelec2, we can ask sir to move it since the doctor ordered me to lessen my talking but we'll only do that if we can't prepare a good presentation. But I really want to get it over and done with. Next week is our hell week. We have the whole week book with reportings and reports and exam and then some. At least this is a good excuse not to report on biochen. We still have to pass the written report still though. Aurgh! And envchen, we have so many assignments and reaction papers. I should really get started on those papers. They're piling up already.

Hmmm....I wonder why I got laryngitis. This is the first time a sore throat reduced to this. O well, it would mean that I can smack people around since I can't reply to them. So, if they annoy me, I'm allowed to give them a smack to the head or two. Hehehe.....I'll be making a sign in handy to show people that I can't speak. Dapat puro yes and no questions lang. I'm not sure how I would handle not talking at all. It has been a while (since grade school) that I don't talk. My barkada made me use to the chatter so much that I made chatter to fill the silence of them not being with me.

Hard to believe but I'm really a silent person. My best friend was soo talkative that when we part ways for college, I felt unease with the silence. I had to adjust. I'm a person of constant so I can't help if one constant thing is taken away from me, I have to adjust to make up for it. Which ever I can do best or which solution is appropriate. Hehehe...at least you guys would be granted silence for a week and I'm granted a right to smack people around as a compensation. Hehehe...it works out in the end.

The plant visit was okay. Too bad we didn't get to see the packing and pelletizing part. The tour guide said that the pellets are blowed up by air. The plant was interesting. You can really see how the things we studied in class is applied there to the plant. But I think we left a very bad impression on the bus driver and the plant people. With the bus driver, galit sya sa atin during the morning. If you guys notice, nobody was taking notice or answering him when he asked question, especially when we were trying to find the place. D naman kasi nya trabaho magdeligate on finding the place and where to deliver us from the place itself. Sya ang bumaba and asks around. It was suppose to be the organizer's job. But that was ruled out when Pam sat at the back.

Yung sa plant. I got the feeling that they thought we're stupid or a bunch of rich kids that doesn't care. Parang wala kasi tayo alam and we have a lot of blank stares. In truth, nakakahiya when he asks a bunch of questions and I can't think of the appropriate answers, eh kakaaral lang natin yun. Makes me wonder if I'll pass the board exam and if I'll get a job when clearly, I have forgotten all that I was taught. Parang walang kwenta ang lahat ng nagpaaralan ko. I'm hoping to make use of the knowledge I learn, but with the plant visit, parang wala pa ata ako naabsorb from classes. Nakakainis isipin. Anyway, knowing where I stand, it gave me a little bit of motivation to try and retain the things taught in class and get a head start for the board exam. In other words, back to the basics. Kahit once a week lang, I plan to relearn all the math first, since I prefer math over the science part of Chemical Engineering, Helpful din sya for making my mind faster in computation, hopefully.

Ang tagal ng ride natin to and fro. Since I had two overnights, bagsak ako sa bus. Slept the whole way there and back. Nagulat nga ako when Shuren sat beside me. Then again, he only did that cuz he was waiting for Mark to get off his stop and then he'll move to sit beside Gino. I got very dizzy a few minute after leaving JG Summit. Buti na lang Shu agreed for me to lean on his shoulders. Pro di comfortable humiga sa shoulders ni Shu. Matigas kasi. Medyo manhid din si Shuren. I woke up coughing like hell and deadma sya ^.^. hehehe.. cguro after a while, naiinis na sya sa kakaubo ko kaya he decided to help me by shutting the aircon off. What really surprise me was when he decided to sit next to me still even when Mark was gone and when we had a stop over. Katabi na nya si Gino but he move to sit beside me for the rest of the trip. Okay rin siya kausap. First time ko nakausap sya ng matino. Yung walang kalokohan na story. Especially without Yan-Yan. Kung anu-ano kasi ang sinasabi ni Yan-Yan.

Ummm...that's all for now I guess. Have to sleep or else di gagaling ang larynx ko. Grrr....I didn't ask if I could eat sweets. I'll be really cranky if I got one week without sweets. Beware people. Since I can't talk, people are spared from my nasty comments and biting harsh words. But I can still glare.

 ............................................... WAHH!!!! ANU BAYAN!!! NAWALA ULIT!!!! At this rate, wala na akong matino mapopost dito.....sigh....cge na nga. Start all over.....next time...nawala ako ng gana. Sayang naman....AURGH!!! Feel na feel ko pa naman ang pagsusulat ko kanina. I planned to make up for all the times that I didn't write here and make a long and good (or juicy depending if I feel like telling some stories) entry. Gr....stupid..next time, I'll really start writing sa word muna bago dito. Ang hirap kasi ng paglipat-lipat ng website (I'm downloading mangas right now. Lasalle's server is supprisingly fast. Then again, nasa overnight ako ang halos wala naman gumagamit ng server). 

Sigh...anyway, medyo may gano ako magsulat pa. Me and Trina are doing overnight now. Our plan now for the stupid thesis (I swear, thesis is the reincarnation of hell on earth. They should remove this from the curriculum already. Then again, we might become pansies if we don't go through thesis) is to work tuesday (me), wednesday (the both of us), thrusday (Trina) and friday (both of us). On thursday and friday, depending on prec's group since nagkikisabay lang kami ng magbabantay sa amin, we'll have overnight. Trina will overnight on friday and continue on saturday. I'll overnight on both days. Haaaa...ang dami na nasayang sa amin (money, time, effort, resources, overnights), that it's not funny anymore. But things seems to be looking up for this overnight. Data seems to be good. I'm hoping that this will continue until we're done for thesis. We have manage to reduce our experimentation time from 5hours to 3 hours per run. But that's need both of us present. If alone, I think 5 hours would still be the experiment. We have 50 runs to conduct, but that's only the bare minimum. I think na kulang payan to have our data and study seem valid. If may oras, I gues that we'll add more trials. 

I'm more worried really about the deadlines Ma'am Uy set. Di ko alam kung meron ba kami mabibigay. Honestly, I'm concentrated on the experimenting, I refuse to do research and read those journals. Nakakapagod na kasi. But now, I have to start para naman may malagay ako bago sa mga parts ko sa thesis. Nakakatakot nga eh. I'm frustrated with the patheticness of our thesis paper. Seeing Jamie Gan's final thesis, I feel insignificant yung sa amin. Parang ang daming kulang sa mga information, analysis and data naman.

Bah.. I'll stop with thesis.Kinda rambling now. My brain is turning into mush. Inaantok na kasi ako. Matutulog nalang ako sa bus later sa plant visit natin. Nasasayangan ako kasi wala si Edric. Siya pa naman ang kausap ko sa bus. Then again, I'll be sleeping the whole way anyway. Trina, prec, pochu and mark will probably sleep through the way as well. Di pa kami natutulog. Well, c prec natutulog pa. Sana the plant visit would be nice and worth it. Yung dating plant visit ng previous fourth year for semfile, pumalpak. Well, not really a failure, but more of a waste. The plant visited was boyzen at laguna I think. The problem is that the boyzen there only makes white paint. The colored paints are made sa Quezon City. Talk about ironic.

Can't wait for Cebu. I want to see a different place. Sana mahangin and leaves are falling all over. I like autumn kasi.

Ummm...running out of brain fuel, can't concentrate much on writing. Next time nalang na coherent na ako. Oh, out of shear boredome last week sa bahay, I made a friendster account. I don't know much what I should there and it's pretty boring. Wala naman nanyayari. Anyway, you guys can check it out. Don't know how to edit properly yet. Parang di nga user friendly. 

Next time! 

NAWALA YUNG TINYPE KO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
