a Tagalog post...

dapat kahapon pa ako mag-uupdate
kya lang for some reason, wala akong internet
kaya eto ako ngayon
Be prepared for a long post...


Sa wakas, nakaenrol na din ako
6 units nga lang
grabe nakakapagod
Gumising ako ng mga 830 kahapon ng umaga
Uminom ng gatas, nag-toothbrush, naligo, nagbihis
punta ng Mapua
pagdating ko dun
anak ng tinapa, walang tao sa registrar
anung petsa na?!
no choice ako kundi maghintay
biglang kong naisipan na i-check ang ibang departments
pumunta ako sa CHE-CHM dept
tinanong ko kung may offer silang Organic Chemistry this term
yung pang MSE which is 2 units lang, wala
pero may open, pang-CHE, 3 units nga lang
sabi nung secretary pwede daw ako dun
ipa-equivalent course ko na lang daw sa registrar
kaya ayon, binigyan ako ng paper na nakasulat yun
pagbalik ko sa regisrar, wala pa din tao
mga 11 30 na yun, e maglalunch break sila ng 12 noon
nagugutom na ako
buti nalang dumating si Angel at Carl
Yinaya nila ako kumain, syempre sama ako
kumain kami sa Faustina's
first time ko dun
masarap pala pagkain dun
makakain nga ulit sa susunod
pagkatapos nmin kumain, maaga pa
mga 12:30 pa lang ata yun
eh 1 pm pa magbubukas sa registrar
sabi nila tambay na muna ako sa tambayan ng SCA
ka-organization ko nga pala si Angel at Carl pero di na ako active
pagdating namin dun, nandun din yung ibang members
naghihintayan pala sila dahil ppunta silang Tayabas, Quezon para sa leadership training
nakausap ko si Darren na former blockmate ko na naka-LOA (leave of absence) ngaun
pinipilit nila siya sumama
kaya join naman ako, kunwari kasama ako hahaha
pinilit ko din sya pero iitry daw niya, wala sya pera
anyway
tumambay ako dun hanggang mga 1:15
pag-alis ko sa tambayan pumunta ako sa EMSE dept nmin
kinuha ko yung paper para maiopen na yung Mineralogy subject
diretso ng registrar
in an instant, may 3 units na ako, yay!
tapos yung Organic Chemistry naman
kaya lang may kulang pala
dapat may official document na pirmado sa CHE-CHM department na allowed ung pag-equivalent course
kaya bumalik ulit ako sa CHE-CHM para magpapirma
pagbalik ko sa registrar, ok na
inadd na ung subject ko
buti nalang hindi conflict sa schedule
eh di may 6 units na ako
tapos pumunta ako sa IE-EMG dept
tinanong ko kung open na ung Engineering Management
sabi nung secretary, kailangan niya yung list ng students na kukuha nun
eh wala sa akin, na kay Carlo pala
eh di tinext ko sya, tagal magreply
kaya naisip ko sa pasukan nalang yun
pina-finalize ko na schedule ko
tapos nagbayad na ako
weee, tapos na ako magenrol
tamang- tama nagreply na si Carlo
nasa school pala siya, nagkita kami
mukhang kararating lang
tapos nakita pa namin si Kuya Evan at Kuya Allen
kukuha din sila ng EMG kaya pinasulat din namin dun sa list
ipinasa na namin ni Carlo yung list sa IE-EMG dept
kaya lang di pa daw maoopen yun nun day na un
kaya ayun, sa pasukan na talaga yun
anyway, at least, nakaenrol na ako
papasok ako this term
nagtatanong siguro kayo kung bakit 3 subjects lang ang makukuha ko
dahil yun lang ang pwede kong kunin
hay buhay
hirap talaga sa Mapua lalo na sa department namin
bahala na


actually, 2nd time ko na pumunta sa school para magpaenroll
Nung Friday, pumunta na ako school
tapos yung mga offered na subjects this term hindi ko pa pwedeng kunin
suggestion ni Ma'am Fernandez, magpa-change curriculum na ako ng pang batch 2007
oo naman ako
naghintay ako sa school hanggang mga 2 pm
di talaga dumadating registrar namin
kaya sabi ko sa Monday na nga lang
kasama si Kat, pumunta na kami SM Manila para kumain
tamang-tama naman nakasalubong namin si Keziah pabalik ng school
at dahil ang reason kung bakit sya babalik ng school ay kami,
sumama na siya samin sa SM
kumain kami sa KFC
tapos tumambay lang
nagkwentuhan
hinintay namin sina Allan at Shid dahil pag-uusapan yung outing
tapos naglibot kami sa SM
dapat kasi bibili ng laptop si Keziah, eh hindi pa negtetext yung tatay niya
ako naman bumili ng external hard drive at screen protector
kahit papano nabawasan na yung listahan ng mga bibilhin ko
yung hard drive Buffalo ang brand, 3 995 yung 320GB
ang saya ko, bumilis ng konti ang laptop ko dahil nabawasan na ng laman
napapaisip tuloy ako kung maguupgrade pa ako ng RAM
mukhang di na kailangan
mga past 5 pm na, nasa school pa sila Allan
hindi pa kasi dumadating ung prof na hinihintay nila
naghintay pa kami konti
nun medyo madilim na tinext ko na si Allan na uuwi na kami
nag-sorry siya
ok lang yun, enjoy naman eh


sunod na araw ay Sabado
walang magawa, sa bahay lang
after lunch, sabi ng tatay ko maglakad lakad daw ulit kami sa likod ng MOA after dinner
banat naman ako, "San tayo kakain?"
sabi niya sa bahay lang daw pero bumigay din
tumawag siya bandang mga 7 pm
kain daw kami sa Jade Palace
pumunta kasi siya ng office para tapusin yung monthly report niya
umalis kami sa bahay mga past 8 pm
kumain sa Jade Palace
nakakita pa kami ng artista
nandun si Joey Marquez kasama yung anak niyang si Jeremy at yung isang pa niyang anak kay Alma Moreno na hindi ko kilala
pagkatapos kumain, pumunta na kami sa likod ng MOA
Seaside Boulevard ata tawag dun
naglakad lakad lang kami habang nagkwekwentuhan
tapos kumain ng ice cream
pinagpawisan ako kakalakad
ang daming tao
tuwang tuwa ang nanay ko dun sa mga batang nasa loob ng bola
para silang mga hamster hahaha
yung hamster(?) sa Bolt, basta yung nasa loob ng transparent na bola
may ganung palaruan dun
sabagay, nakakatuwa nga naman
after ng family bonding time, umuwi na kami
bagong story naman pagdating namin sa bahay


pagdating namin sa bahay
may pagala galang tuta sa harap ng gate namin
chocolate brown ang kulay
ang cute kaya lang madumi
nakakaawa, baka masagasaan
kay kinuha nalang ng tatay ko
amin nalang daw tutal mukhang wala naman may ari
weee, may pet na ako
pero mas gusto ko pa din rabbit, narealize ko na takot pa din ako sa aso
ginawan siya ng higaan at itinimpla ng gatas
naubos niya yung gatas
sabi ng tatay ko Snickers daw pangalan niya
kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit Snickers, yun ay dahil Snickers ang pangalan ng 2 una naming mga aso although di ko na sila naabutan
si Snickers 1 ay namatay
si Snickers 2 naman bigla nalang daw nawala
so technically, ang tutang ito ay si Snickers 3
magdamag nagpapansin si Snickers 3
ayaw patulugin ang kuya ko
naninibago siguro kaya umiiyak
mga 3 am na ako natulog at nung mga oras na yun ay naririnig ko pa siyang nag-iingay
paggising ko kinabukasan
hala! wala na siya
nakatakas daw
palibhasa sa garahe kasi siya linagay
eh may butas dun sa baba ng gate
natural makakalusot yun dun
sayang talaga
kala ko may pet na ako
pero medyo relieved din ako dahil
RABBIT ANG GUSTO KO!!!
ngayon, balik na ako sa pangungulit sa tatay at kuya ko na bilhan ako ng rabbit
weeeee ^_^


balik na ako ngayon sa anime fandom
ang tagal kong di nakapanood ng anime
nakahabol na ako sa episodes ng Bleach
kaya lang fillers ulit yung mga susunod na episodes
stop uli ako sa Bleach
tinatapos ko naman ngayon idownload ang Gundam 00
last episode na nung Sunday
di ko pinapanood yung mga naunang downloaded episodes
gusto ko kasi dirediretso
natapos ko na panuoring ang Code Geass R2
sabi ko na nga ba may binabalak si Lelouch nung ideclare niya na siya ang bagong emperor ng Britannia
di ako makapaniwalang umiyak ako sa ending
waaaaaaa
naaawa ako kay Lelouch
grabe yung pinagdaanan niya
at least nagkabati at nagkaintindihan sila ni Suzaku
and peace returned sa kanilang lahat
bumalik na ang D Gray Man manga, yay!
ang tagal ng hiatus ng mangaka nun
at si Allen, I think isa talaga siyang Noah
kala niya di siya masasaktan nung sinaksak niya yung sarili niya ng Crown Belt
pero baliktad, may ibang personality ang lumabas with the same manner of speaking ng Millenium Earl
gusto ko na makita next chapter


sa Asian fandom naman wala masyado
pinagpapatuloy ko lang ang pagdownload ng Mago Mago Arashi
gusto ko ang mga shows ng Arashi
pero hindi mga kanta nila
yun lang


siguro nagtataka kayo kung bakit Tagalog ito
wala lang, trip ko lang
hirap mag-english eh
hahahahahahahaha
Ja ne...

I passed everything...

I seriously thought I was gonna fail
But I managed to pass everything


I've been worrying about my subjects last term
cause I got really low scores in quizzes
I've already accepted that I'd fail in analytical chemistry lec
but near the end of the term, it gave me some hope
my final grades for the 3rd term are:
CHM110 2.75
CHM200L 2.75
MEC203 2.50
MSE114 2.25
Gen. Weighted Average 2.56

I'm totally satisfied with my grades
I was expecting get 3.00 for all my subjects
but that did not happen
I guess I was lucky ^_^


My dad arrived yesterday afternoon from Singapore
He bought a cute little red bag for my mom but nothing for me
at least he came back home safe
anyway, we went out for dinner
we ate in a chinese restaurant called Emerald Palace
we ordered camaron rebosado, fish lips soup, pancit canton, sweet and sour fish fillet, spareribs in salt and pepper and vegetables
the food was sooo delicious
after the meal, we went to seaside boulevard behind SM Mall of Asia
we just walked there while chatting
then we ate ice cream and went home tired
it was really a fun time with my family


since classes are over, I don't have much to talk about
I have a one month vacation
and I'm still thinking how to spend it
I'm planning an overnight swimming right now with my friends
we haven't decided who's going and where it will be held
so organizing is taking quite a time
well, what's important is we enjoy ourselves since some of them are graduating already and this will be their last outing


not much about the fandoms
NEWS have a new single called "Koi no ABO (?)"
I think it'll be releases 29th of April
all I've been doing recently is watch anime and Arashi videos
I'm getting into the Arashi fandom ^_^


I've nothing to write anymore so
Ja...

Almost Over...

One more final exam
and I'll say bye bye to the 3rd term


I had my finals for Mechanics last Tuseday
after the exam, my prof checked our papers and computed our grades
so after about an hour, the class already knew their standing
my score in the finals was 55/100
and after the computations, I ranked first in the class
my overall grade was 57 %
the passing grade was 60 (although our prof can still lower it down if he wants to)
so technically, I failed
but since I'm first, he said he'll pass me
Yay!
Lady luck is on my side ^_^
I'm happy with just a grade of 3.00
I have one less worry
I hope he decides to pass all 5 of us
but if not, at least give them 7.00 for incomplete so they won't fail
after the exam, there's still 2 hours left of class time
one of my classmates brought his laptop
so we just watch "Kung Fu Panda"
I had so much fun
it was so cute and funny
he never realized that he was adopted
I mean where in the world can you see a swan (?) father and his son is a panda
that's just ridiculous
anyway, it's one of the few animated movies that I liked


I've already accepted that I'll fail analytical chemistry lecture
my first 2 quizzes were really low
and it would be impossible to catch up
just when I've decided that all hope is gone, something really unexpected happened
I received the results of my 3rd quiz last Wednesday and guess what?!
I PASSED!!!
my score was 69/100
My resolve that I'll fail was all crushed (resolved to fail?!what kind of resolve is that?!)
and I was having my last quiz in that subject last Friday
more signs of hope was given to me
there was one problem where the correct final answer was written
I'm not sure if it was a typo or my prof really intended for it to be there
when I first answered it, I got it wrong
then when I was double checking my answers, I realized that I miscalculated that one
I computed the figures again and whoa!!!
I GOT IT CORRECT!!!
my tension is up again
it seems that He wants me to pass
but I don't want to get my hopes up so much
because if I see a 5.00 (failing grade) for that, I'll feel really disappointed and depressed
I don't want to feel that way
well, there's still the finals in Wednesday and I'll study hard for it
I'll do my best!
as for the laboratory counterpart, I'm 100% sure I'll pass
so no problems


Last Friday, I cooked again after a long time
I cooked Carbonara and toasted bread for dinner
it was sooo delicious
(yep, I'm proud of my cooking and baking skills, everything I make is yummy)
even my brother who is not fond of white sauce really liked it
I'm so happy
when I had my birthday party last year, I cooked the spaghetti
and everyone said it was delicious
it was after everyone was finished that I revealed I was the one who cooked it
Ohhh I loved their reaction especially my high school friends
I used to bake on weekly basis
my friends asked me to
they liked my chocolate crinkles
so they asked me to sell them hehehe
but I've been busy with school
that I didn't have time for my hobbies
with the 3 week summer vacation coming
I'll be back on the kitchen


my dad left this noon for Singapore
he went for a business trip and will be gone for a week
I'm so gonna miss him
please come back safe and sound


There's nothing going on in the fandoms
Nothing really interesting
Some random updates:

• Shige and Koyama in Kiseki no Kizuna (haven't watched it)
• I'm watching 1 litre of tears right now because I dreamt about Ryo which I don't remember the details except the beach ( sorry, so random)
• I mentioned in a previous post somthing about TVXQ, since then I haven't watched any of their videos yet (guess, I'm not getting into their fandom)
• Kame looks so good in his hairstyle right now
• I watched Cartoon KAT-TUN episode 100 without subs, I understood about 60%. It was a funny episode
• I've downloaded and watched Arashi no Shukudai-kun where Nagase was the guest. I was laughing so hard last night. I'm also downloading their singles right now. I'm officially entering the Arashi fandom.

That's it for today's post
Ja...

* p.s. I can't believe I slept all afternoon from 12 noon to 4 pm...
that was a first...

Happy day...

I just got home
I'm tired
I'm sleepy
but I had lots of fun
Oh, and I'm excited too!
I'm in a good mood ^_^


I had my practical exam in Analytical Chemistry laboratory this morning
since we can't decide on the order of taking the exam, we drew lots by group
I wanted to got first thought but I can't say it out loud
in the end, I was the last person to take the exam
the pattern of the exam is like this:
we'll go inside the room one by one
we have 10 minutes to finish the 3 stations for the exam
then additional 5 minutes for the computations
after taking the exam, the students stay inside the room until no one's waiting for their turn outside
since I'm last, it means I'll be left alone waiting outside the room
just the thought of that made me lonely
but I wasn't left alone
Mm other friends' who were having their class in the room in front of ours joined me
their teacher hasn't arrived yet so we talked a bit
It raised my spirits
and by the time I was called their teacher still hasn't arrived
while I was doing my exam, my professor and other classmates went back to our usual room
and I was left in the care of the laboratory assistant
it was a plus for me because I was the only student in the exam room so there were no distractions
I was able to concentrate
the first station was about apparatus
there were 10 apparatus and I had to identify them and their uses
the second part was about laboratory set-ups
there were 2 set-ups and I had to point out the mistakes in them
the third part is titration
we had to titrate the acid until it changes color then compute for its molarity
as soon as I finished, I knew I did well
I was able to answer everything within the given time
even in the titration part, the color of my solution was really light pink
I saw the others' work and they're all dark pink, almost fuschia
our professor checked my paper as soon as she received it and guess what I got
I got a 96/100!!!!
I was so happy
it's been a long time since I got a score that high
actually, I did not have any mistakes
I only lack 4 answers for the second part
next week, we'll be having the written exam
so I still have to study for it


after class, I waited for Kat's class to finish
we ate lunch in Chowking
as usual, we watched a movie
we watched "He's just not that into you"
at first, we though of watching Streetfighter: Legend of Chun-Li
but Allan's going to kill us (kakatayin niya kami) so we decided to watch another film and wait for the time that Allan and Shid can join us to watch it
Allan and Shid had their defense for their feasibility studies so they weren't able to come
after the movie, we strolled the mall a bit while waiting for my parents
when we separated, I went to the department store because my parents were there
I bought a new bag then we went home


it was my dad's birthday last Tuesday but he wasn't aound that time
so hasn't treated us yet
we went home to fetch my brother and housekeeper
we ate dinner at Max's Restaurant
we ordered and ate a lot
there's pancit canton, sinigang na tiyan na bangus, camaron rebosado, kare-kare, and a whole chicken
I was so full
For sure, it'll be a while before we eat out like this again
(my dad in stingy)


I watched KAT-TUN's new pv "Rescue"
again, it was so cool just like the "One drop" pv especially Ueda and Jin's dance part
it's so cool that it makes me mad
how about NEWS?!
when are they going to have a pv like that?!
I'm worried that if I continue seeing KAT-TUN like these, I might go back to their fandom


I watched TVXQ's pv "Survivor"
it was ok, I didn't really like it
then I watched their Smap x Smap guesting without english subs
(I was surprised I understood the interview, my mom was eyeing me suspiciously while watching it because there were no subs and yet I was laughing and smiling)
watching their pv gave me realization
TVXQ is the very first asian boyband that I knew
I remember watching them in Show Music Tank in Arirang TV
I think it was U-know and Mickey were the hosts at that time
but I did not bother checking them out
I had no interest in internet that time
and BoA was the only reason why I was watching that show
They sang "Purple Line" in Smap x Smap
so I checked out it's video as well as "Mirotic"
and I seriously liked it
now I'm thinking of downloading their songs
Someone stop me!!!
if this goes on, I might join their fandom
and I don't want to because it takes up so much time
and I am quite busy right now


Hell week officially starts on Monday
it's the last week of the term
I've started my ethics essay and made 3 pages now
still need 1 or 2 more pages
last Friday, I asked one of my classmates in ethics about his essay
he said he asked his friend that is a law student to do the essay for him?!
that is sooo unfair
here I am, racking my empty brain for ideas and worrying myself out that I won't be able to finish it
and there he is asking someone else to do it for him while he sleeps in our class!!!
I hate people like that
I did not talk to him for the rest of the class
(that was in our anal chem class by the way)
but of course, I didn't show how angry I was
as a result, I lost my motivation to do the paper
what's the use of doing something that I know will just get a passing grade while someone will get a higher grade for the same work that he didn't do
it really pissed me off
so for 2 days, I slacked off
but this morning, I asked my other classmates how their paper is going and found out that they haven't even started it yet
knowing that I'm quite ahead of the others made me a bit happy
and now I'm back on track
Ugh, I'm such a simple minded person


I've finished watching "Lunch Queen"
at first, I only watched it because of Yamapi
but as I watch more episodes, I started to enjoy it
the plot is nice and I loved the female lead
it's about family, friendship, but more on romance
not to mention, the food were looks delicious that it made me hungry while watching
right now, I'm watching "Long Love Letter"
it's another Yamapi jdrama but the plot is also good
it's also about friendship and romance


I've downloaded a couple of Tensai!Shimura Doubutsen
Aiba cracks me up so much
I can't believe what I've been missing on the Arashi fandom
I've always liked Arashi
I'm a fan of them as individuals but not their songs
their songs just don't appeal to me


Hey!Say!JUMP! has a new show
How about NEWS?!
I want NEWS to have their own regular show too
I miss my NEWS
Please give them work!!!


Phew, that was a long post
I'm off now to continue my ethics essay
Ja...

Nothing to Say...

I'm tired
I'm sleepy
I'm depressed


I'm 100% sure I will fail analytical chemistry lecture
I got a really really really low score on my 2nd quiz despite studying
that's why I'm so frustrated because I studied really hard
but then I got that kind of score
I think it's impossible to make up for it now
I'm conditioning myself to see a 5.00 (failing grade) in my card by the end of the term
this is going to be my 2nd 5.00 grade
I'm not going to tell my parents
I feel ashamed of myself


I really want to do my college life all over again
Someone please give me a time slip
"Hallelujah Chance"
but of course it's impossible
it's my own fault for choosing Mapua and engineering
I don't have regrets going to that school and studying that program
It's just that I should have done better
before, my aim is just to pass the subject
a 3.00 (passing grade) would satisfy me
but now I want 2.00 and above grades
why?
because when I graduate, I want to have a honor
and it will give me better chances to enroll in the university I want to study for Master's Degree


I wasn't able to go to mass last Ash Wednesday
I will submit my take home quiz in dynamics where all my classmates copied from me so all have the same answers on Tuseday
I have my 3rd quiz on anal chem lecture which I already started studying since Saturday on Wednesday
I have an essay in ethics that I have no idea what to write due on March 14
I only have two weeks to do this
This term is on the 9th week now
There's only 3 more weeks left then summer vacation
I have at least 3 weeks to mourn for my failing grade


If I saw and replied earlier to my brother's text message last Friday,
I already would have a pet rabbit now


She's starting to get on my nerves
she's so KY
and stop calling me "psst"!!!
I have my own name
and it's not "psst"
you don't have to ask every little thing that's going on in this house
it's none of your business
you don't have ask every single thing you need to do
even how much rice you have to cook, you still need to disturb me?!
isn't that the reason why you're here?!
seriously annoying


I've been thinking of what I want to do with my life
and it's stressing me out
when I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor
but I can't handle blood and syringes so I gave up
watching Code Blue reminded me how great doctors are
I'm on my 4th year in college now
it's too late to change careers
not to mention I still can't handle syringes
so I've thought of an alternative where I can be in medical and engineering field at the same time
and I've found not only one but two possible fields
(actually not only 2 but these are what I'm interested)
They are Biomedical engineering and Biomaterials engineering (I prefer this one better)
I don't think these fields is being offered anywhere in the Philippines
so I looked for other possible universities
I have mentioned before that I want to study my Master's Degree in Japan so obviously I looked for Japanese universities
so far, I have only found 2 who offers them
Tokyo Institute of Technology and University of Tokyo
I can probably get into Tokyo Tech but it's in Yokohama
I prefer to be in Tokyo but with my level, it seems Todai is impossible
and this is what's stressing me out
(this kinda seem pointless right now because I still have to graduate from bachelor's degree)


earlier I asked my brother if I can be a model too
and he said "Oo naman, ikaw lang naman ang ayaw eh"
which roughly translates to "of course you can, it's just you who doesn't want to"
I'm not pretty
I'm not thin
I'm more on the heavy side
but at least, maybe, there's also available job for me out there right?
he's holding a modeling workshop on March 14
maybe I'll attend it
do I still have to apply to him even if he's my brother?


My dad's birthday is on Tuesday
but he won't be around
he's going to Subic tomorrow for a seminar
he'll back on Thursday
I'm gonna miss him


I'll try writing my essay now
Ja ne...
