80's theme song

Your 80s Theme Song:

Your 80s Theme Song is Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor

What's Your 80's Theme Song?

like, yeah

i reverted back to my old name, or rather, the old title of my blog. i also removed the excess words you find in here. it seems so bare actually. and then again, i'm really busy. i'm just using up the last 5 minutes here before i get to complete my 2 hours stay.



i can't really say much about what i'm feeling right now or what i've been doing as there's not much time. i wish i could post everyday. but there's time and money constraints involved. well, usually it's just about time. i'd go surf the net anytime.



aahh.. where is this going? nowhere i guess. i just wanna drop a line. it's nearing the end of the month once more. i've got loads to do. at this point, i think i'm gonna end and go. i have plenty of thoughts but, yeah, till next time.

for nerds reading list

this weekend has been the nerdiest i've ever had here in UP. for friday night, i was absorbed in my chemistry lecture notes. of course, it was our exam the following morning. in the afternoon, i was immersed in francis a. carey's fifth edition organic chemistry. a really heavy book. that was for some 3 hours in the cs lib. this morning, i was holed up in frazier's food microbiology and george j. banwart's basic food microbiology. when i get back to the boarding house later, i hope i could get my hands on chicken soup for the teenage soul 3. finally, a respite from all the acad stuff. this is like my nerdiest and most stressful week of all. thank God for coming through.

hell week

it's been one helluva stressful week. long lab sessions on mondays and thursdays. plus, my group in food micro was constantly under the eye of the storm so that added to the stress we normally feel.



tuesday was my only stress-free day since my class was only until 2pm. i stayed at our booth for mc sign-up at the as walk until before my subol ga where we had a pangasinan poet as a guest. he along with a up prof from pangasinan are trying to initiate a revival/preservation of pangasinan culture especially in literature since there are not many pangasinan writers nowadays - meaning those who write in our native tongue. we were there until after 7pm.



wednesday was our applicants' orientation for up subol. we had three applicants who attended the orientation. hopefully, others will trickle in as the application goes on. our batchmate kristine has tried to defer her application and no longer pursue it ever we found out the night before so my batchmates decided to stay at her place overnight. she has a condo unit in teacher's village and only ate jhet and i got to make it there. kuya vlady was with us but he didn't stay overnight. ate kat followed afterwards arriving at the condo around 1 am already. it's just a whole lot of talk about other things since we came there. kristine was really very sleepy so she slept. the three of us - ate jhet, ate kat and i - stayed awake till around 3:30 am. then we woke up around 5:30. it's good that i still got some sleep because if i did not, i'll be "bangag" later on in the day. i also didn't get to finish my cw10 writing assignment which had been given the week before. i also haven't studied my lecture notes for chem so thursday, i decided not to attend my cw10 class. it's only a workshop for our writing assignments, and lest i am mistakenly called to present my work, i'd rather skip the risk and try to study.



the two hours of sleep took a toll on me so thursday night, i slept early and didn't wake up early nor stayed awake long enough the next day to be able to study for our graded recitation in chem as our review for saturday's exam. so i stayed in bed till around 8 am. it's my first time to do that and it's quite enjoyable. then i attended my chem lab class at 10, fn11 lecture at 1 and fn lab class from 2-5, but we only got to finish up a little after 5:30 pm already. it was a very satisfying session since all our yeast bread products all tasted very good and we also had a serving of brewed coffee. we had spanish rolls, cinammon rolls, pandesal, doughnuts and siopao. all yum yum! i went home immediately afterwards to try to get a headstart for chem since i bungled up my chances the previous evening.



i stayed awake till around 3 am making good progress but i had so many distractions i wasn't able to finish all of it. it's because of my damn hair. i kept looking for split ends to cut. so i woke up around 7:30 am and tried to finish the rest.



then to the exam at 10 am. i must say this is by far my most prepared for exam ever - i'm not sure if that phrase is correct. anyway, so far, with all the chem exams i've been through, this is the only one that i understood most of the topics and that i was not having visions of failing. good for me. hope this continues. and hopefully, i will pass this exam with flying colors. methings the last part in bold is not really feasible right now.



after that, sarah, my chem lab partner, and i decided to go farther for our lunch that day. so we went to mcdonald's philcoa. then we went to cs lib to start work on our post lab for experiments 9 & 11. ma'am sam will be giving plus points for those who will submit early so we decided to take advantage of it. however, we haven't finished everything yet so we'll probably pass them tomorrow. at least plus 2 points for each of those.



then i checked my email last night till before 9 when the shopkeepers told us they were closing already. i also attended mass before that but i didn't finish it coz' i had to get my diskette from kuya eric and angela was texting about our report for food micro. i watched gilmore girls and a new reality show mr. personality. then i slept with my clothes and all traversing my and alessa's bed. around 3 am i was shaken from my slumber and i changed clothes. i tried to read the books for our food micro report but i slept still. so it was only this morning that i started to read it. and i've been in front of this pc to email angela the things i read that should be relevant to our report. now i'm sure she's gonna stay up late to finish it. poor her. but anyway, as long as we get it done.



and i still have some stuff today for the next week when i get off of this pc.



H E L L     W E E K! this is what this was.



hoping for no more stress. just fun for the next few weeks. i'm tired.

lost?!?

i'm lost right now. i do not know what i really feel. i'm not completely getting myself into the feel of a group. this has been the case for this week. wait, i think i didn't want myself to feel. what's this? some kind of phase i'm going through? for the sake of acquiring something new? no, i don't really want this. i don't like this. i like people. i should enjoy. next week should be something new. i'm sorry to everyone whom i've been ignoring or what. weird vibes.

thinking of a new blog name

somehow, i don't feel home with the new name of my blog. i'm thinking of a new one. maybe a two-word name. with the same letter beginning so it's an alliteration. i'm thinking of weaver's wonders because of the words i "weave". but i'm not so sure about it yet. need more time. but i'm surely going to replace this.



i also want to change the look of my blog but i don't have the time to do it. i could have done it during the christmas break but still, i had plenty of other things to do. so this will have to wait till i get a break from classes and other imposing stuffs (read: more demanding stuffs on my to-do list).

wall climbing

alessa, jok and i went to power up at tandang sora this morning. a few hours of wall climbing for all of us. it was my first time to go there but already my second time climbing. my first time was at the up fair last year. power up had a booth there c/o up grip. anyway, i learned to belay and tried to climb up three walls. the first wall was the only one that i was able to finish. i don't have the strength to be able to push myself upwards to be able to gain a hold on the higher - whaddya call them? stones? - idunnowhattheyarecalled so i wasn't able to finish the others. anyway, next time i hope i could do three walls. but it was a good feeling. sweating out and doing something challenging. however, right now, my arms do feel stressed and my fingers ache. but there's still a lot i've got to learn. till the next climb!

inspector mills

...

I can't attempt to point you in her direction

I didn't see her walking out of the door

If I had taken my time she'd be standing here still

Inspector Mills

...





the above were memorable lines from last night. at least for me. i and my orgmates went to limepost for some end-of-the-week get-together after the ga. there were no other peeps stationed by the videoke so we positioned ourselves there. and that song was sung by our very own inspector mills, ra. ask me if you wanna know why.



it was a night of the baduy songs and the old songs. plus a few really comic ones, and wrong wordings giving rise to ridiculous phrases. anyway, inspector mills still plays in my head but with ra's vocals. it was my first time to hear him sing with a microphone, though he sang other songs afterwards. but this was the first one he sang so...



***



i didn't have beer that night, too. everyone decided to have coffee and i was really looking forward to it. but when there were no more tables at likha diwa, we looked into sarah's which was just adjacent to it and it was also full. so it came to pass that we all boarded tricycles for a short ride to limepost at teacher's village. it was a friday night so there were a lot of people in those places.



***



it was my first time to drop by the mc tambayan last thursday. this, after a really hectic start of the year schedule. things are heating up, i should i say. not unlike last year when we had lots of no-classes days. the momentum wasn't sustained. but now, with no more holidays to think of, it's going to be handed to us straightaway. and we've only got a few more weeks left so we gotta keep up.



then the ga yesterday. pol, marco and rey got to drop by too. tettet was also there, which was at least a bit of break for her before she dives into another study and paper-writing session that i believe will last the whole weekend and well into next week. busy, busy, busy.



lots of people are really busy so the handling of the application is delegated to the others who are not so busy but are frequent faces in the tambayan. so now, i have an official job, along with four others. nika is the head. we also have cara, alessa and yves on the team. yey! i hope i could keep up. coz i think i'm also going to be pretty busy with all the requirements in my subjects.



then there's other activities in subol. we'll also be starting our application. at least, i don't play a major part in it. but the schedule of activities quite mesh with each other. so we'll just have to find out.

boylet issues

boylet issues. we got quite plenty of 'em right now. just last night, one of my roommates cried while she was telling me their story. no need to divulge private information here. the other night, my other roommate is having a dilemma whether she should go out with this guy or not. there are a lot of things attached to her would-be decision (she's not final on it yet) so until now, she's still thinking it through. of course i couldn't be of any help that night because i don't know how it is to be in her position. only two of us in the room have none of those issues. one is my other roommate who i believe is doing great with her boyfriend. the second one is moi. there's no issue because of my lack of one.



i gotta tell you, i've never even had one. not even a fling or an mu back in highschool or now. yep, somebody has yet to snag this girl's heart. and all these people around me are going around in twos or swooning over their phones because of some mushy text or other or having muted conversations with people to be able to resolve their relationship issues.



sometimes i envy them. wala lang. just wishful thinking...

another quiz: 2004 hit song

She Wants to Move by N.E.R.D.

"Her off beat dance makes me fantasize (Her curves) She's sexy!! Her ass is a spaceship I want to ride (Her ass) She's sexy!!" In 2004 you got your groove on - and had the best time ever.

What 2004 Hit Song Are You?

back to school once again

I’m down to my last few hours before I head back to manila. It’s back to school once again. I guess I’ll just be catching some sleep on the bus since I haven’t actually prepared for my leaving tomorrow at 1:30 am so I’m likely to spend a lot of time fixing my things. The two weeks have gone by so quickly they were just like a breeze. And yeah, we’ve already ushered in the new year. But it didn’t feel like much happened.



So farewell to the long, lazy days spent just lounging around watching tv, stuffing food into one’s mouth and playing basketball or badminton or table tennis in the afternoon. It’s a hiatus from the anime viewing sessions, late nights in front of the tv or computer, endless laughter with my siblings or Sunday church with my family going in a car that hardly fits us all.



Farewell to the abundance of food that has been gratefully showered on this home. If there’s one thing that I’m very happy about here, it’s the realization that there is hardly a day where I don’t get hungry. So true, especially during these two weeks of the traditional holidays, ones wherein we really do prepare for. It’s not so much but it’s enough for a family of six. And it really is a must because everyone here is such a voracious eater, if the term could very well convey what the Filipino word matakaw means.



Well, there’s not enough time for farewells that should have been written yesterday. Till tomorrow then. Adieux

i am of the water

Your Element Is Water

A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

What's Your Element?

a prophet soul

You Are a Prophet Soul

You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone. Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people. Sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run. No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way. You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle. Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings. A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning. You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer. Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul
