Heya! It’s been a week since I last posted here on my blog! Grabe, ang daming school works! Ang dami ring school activities, hindi ko na alam kung ano ba ang uunahin! Nakakataranta! It’s like that my world is in chaos because of the overflowing schoolworks!!! Waaaaahhhh… I’m really tired lalo na this last few days…

Because I didn’t post here for a week, let me share to you some highlights of the previous week!

My last blog post here was last week (Tuesday)… During the days after Tuesday (Wednesday and Thursday) Mapuans are busy preparing for the big event: Mapua On Sale! Of course, me and my friends were also busy thinking of what we will do during the activity… We were also saving money to buy our passports for the said event… Mapua On Sale was held last Friday… Ginpao and I came to school early to pass our laboratory report for Electronics… While waiting for the rest of our friends, we watched the mini folk-street dance held on the Mapua grounds… Unluckily, passports ran out quickly and we were not given any… We were asked to get it later that day… Jhen, Xave, and Dianne came and informed us that they would not join us on the seminar because they had schoolworks to finish… Kath and Eli came, and together with Ginpao, we went to the South Bridge Room 2 for the seminar on Communications Without Thinking… Lester was a little late that day but luck was on his side because the seminar started very late! The seminar was a lot of fun because the speaker gave very entertaining lectures… After the seminar, we looked for Braymon then we ate at McDo… Braymon, Lester, Ginpao, Eli, Alvin, and Gillian (Kath’s brother, I hope I got that right!) decided to play Generals (an ON-LAN game)… Kath and I went back to school to see more booths. There we saw Honelyn… The guys SMSed us (Kath and Me) saying that they were in SM… We said our goodbyes to Honelyn, and Kath and I went to SM… While waiting for them to finish playing, Kath and I surf the net and played Gunbound (an ON-LINE game). We sat beside Lester and while surfing the net, we watched him beat the other guys on their game! wahahaha… Kahit mag-kampi-kampi pa si Braymon at Alvin, si Lester pa rin ang panalo! LAKAS talaga! After almost an hour of surfing the net, Kath and I decided to go out of the cafe and walk around the mall… We then went back on the cafe and found out that they were still playing. They were playing Counter Strike (an old ON-LAN game)… Their game was full of fun because they were always killing Eli (Eli doesn’t know much on how to play that game!)… wahahaha… After playing, we all decided to go home! Mapua On Sale was indeed memorable, not because of the activities at school, but because of the great memories and time I had with my friends.

Last Sunday was our Mini-MSDT on IEEE… It was held at Fort Santiago in Intramuros, Manila… Early that morning, I went to Quiapo to meet up with Kath… Because of the poor cell signal between Globe and Smart, I didn’t know where we would meet up because I didn’t receive her messages… Good thing that she called me and we met on the Christmas tree at the middle of the underpass… We went at McDo Intramuros to meet up with the rest of the gang then we all went at Fort Santiago… Upon arriving, we took pictures of the scenic views of the fort… Of course my phone was full of pictures of my friends on the historical place… Kath, Ginpao, Lester, Xave, Jhen, Tin, Dianne, Eli, Janet, and JB were some of the many people found on the pictures I took during that activity… Of course, they had numerous shots because they were my close friends… hehehe… We were grouped into 7 different groups for the activities on the Mini-MSDT… Our barkada was scattered on different groups but still at least two of us were on the same group: Eli and Janet on group1, Tin and JB on group3, Lester and Jhen on group4, Me and Dianne on group5, Xave and Ginpao on group6… Only Kath was left without a pair, she was a member of the seventh group… hehehe… The cheering competition was fun… Many unexpected things transpired… hehehe… JB and Tin’s group won the competition… After, we ate our lunch together and we had a lot of nice chats with each other, and of course, a lot of nice pictures… The Amazing Race IEEE style was the next activity… It was very tiring BUT very very very very very very fun… I had the chance to bond with other people, most especially with my groupmates… We were third on the race, Xave’s team was second, and again JB and Tin’s team was first! The awarding marked the end of the Mini-MSDT… The whole barkada had the same jeepney ride going to Lawton… We parted ways at the Liwasang Bonifacio… Lester, Kath, Ginpao, Eli, and I went at SM to eat our dinner… After eating we went home to get some badly needed rest for our gimmik the next day…

Last Monday was a special holiday… There were no classes… We decided to buy and start making our prototypes during that day… Still tired because of last Sunday’s event, we went at Raon (Electronics capital of the Philippines, hehehe) early Monday morning. We met each other at Chowking (Raon)… Then Kath, Lester, Eli, Ginpao, Steve, JC (Serafino), Oliver, and I went at Alexan to buy the things we needed. We waited for Braymon at Alexan. After the long wait at the queue on Alexan, Oliver and Braymon said their goodbyes, leaving: Kath, Lester, Eli, Ginpao, Steve, Serafino, and Me! We then went to Lester’s house. After eating our lunch we started working on our different schoolworks. Steve, Eli, Ginpao, and Serafino were busy making their prototypes, Kath and I were busy making our experiments in Logic Laboratory, while Lester was busy on going back and forth across the rooms and checking if we were all alright! Because of the event the previous day, I took a nap while Kath was doing our experiment… After that nap, Lester and Eli (I think… I really don’t know who bought the snacks because I slept) asked me to join on eating the snacks that they bought. Then, because we didn’t know how to create the circuits for our experiment, Kath played The Sims 2 on Steve’s laptop (which he brought with him), Steve and Serafino continued working on their prototype, and Ginpao, Lester, Eli and I played Super Text Twist! The four of us had fun playing with words… hehehe… Before we went home, of course, we took a lot of pictures… My phone’s memory went down on an instant because of the several pictures we took at Lester’s house… After taking pictures of one another, we went home.

Yesterday, I was absent for my first subject and I was very late for our Numericals class… These were because I haven’t got any well-deserving rest since the Mini-MSDT… wahhhhhh… Good thing that I haven’t missed any important lectures on those classes. It was our Logic Laboratory class yesterday, which means that we went home at around 9:00pm… Lester, Kath, Eli and I went out of Intramuros together… At City Hall, we saw Hero (Jeff) hehehe… The five of us stopped at Liwasang Bonifacio and saw a lot of people eating street foods. Lester told us, before leaving the campus, that he was hungry, because of that I asked him and the rest if they wanted to eat… Because there were no more open restaurants or fastfood chains near that place, I treated them and we ate some street foods (siomai)!!! That was the first time that we ate such kind of food together!! After that memorable moment, we went home…

WHAT A WEEK! So plenty of activities, so few time!

I hope that you enjoyed reading this blog post… ’til then…

Remember to be happy when God answers your prayers but be more thankful when God makes you the answer to someone else’s prayers!

SLEEP ON!

Hello!!!

At last… Nakapagpahinga na rin ako… Grabe, may hang-over pa rin ako sa mga nangyari last weekend! Ang saya!

The reason for the title of this evening’s blog post: "Akalain mo yun!" is the very famous line for this term… This famous line came from our professor in Logic Lecture…

Let me now share to you what happened this boring yet wonderful day!

AKALAIN MO YUN, bawal pala maupo sa corridor along the Physics Laboratory rooms… wahahahah… The guard asked me to find another place where I can sit… With this reason, I went to the rooftop and found Eli…

AKALAIN MO YUN, binigay na sa amin ni Kath ung mga Rubick’s Cube namin… Syempre, walang kasawaang pag-buo ng cube ang aming ginawa…

AKALAIN MO YUN, napagkamalan nila Xave, Jhen, Tin, at Dianne na ung boses ni Eli na ni-record namin ay boses ng vocalist ng Mojofly… GRABE! Iba talaga si Eli!!

AKALAIN MO YUN, nagda-drama pa rin ung professor namin sa Strength of Materials… Sa sobrang drama, nag-groupwork uli kami… AT nag-check siya ng attendance kanina!

AKALAIN MO YUN, nag-seatwork pa rin kami sa Numericals kahit absent ung professor… Thanks to Lester’s notes, nakaraos kami… Thanks din kay Eli sa support at kay Ginpao sa sagot sa number 3…

AKALAIN MO YUN, umuwi agad si Braymon after namin mag-lunch… Nagtataka ba kayo?! Kung iniisip niyo na nag-cutting classes siya (kasi every Tuesday ang Logic Laboratory class namin from 4:30-9:00pm), well, mali kayo kasi nalaman na agad namin na absent ung professor namin sa class na iyon… He went home because he’s not feeling well…

AKALAIN MO YUN, nag-evaluation sa Logic Lecture… Ayaw ko nang magkuwento pa ng ibang detalye…

AKALAIN MO YUN, hanggang pag-uwi, Rubick’s Cube pa rin ang pinag-kakaabalahan namin nila Kath, Lester, at Eli… Nagpa-burn ng CDs si Eli at habang hinihintay ang mga iyon, mine-memorize namin ung steps sa pagbuo nung cube…

AKALAIN MO YUN, nag-punta kami sa SM kasi bumili si Ginpao ng blank CDs… At napaka-tagal naming nag-hintay sa kanya… GRABE!!!

AKALAIN MO YUN, napakasaya ng araw ko ngayon… Medyo boring, pero masaya! Nakita ko kasi sila Kath, Lester, Eli, Ginpao, Bmon, Xave, Jhen, Tin, at Dianne… HOW SUUUWEEET!

That was my day! hehehehe…

’til next time… I’ve got plenty of school works to do, plenty of friends to SMS, and most importantly, kailangan ko nang mabuo ung cube… wahahahahah…

Always remember that: boundless loyalty is one of the important keys of friendship! AKALAIN MO YUN!!!

SMILE ON!

Hello…

Grabe! Pagod na pagod ako sa dami ng nangyari this weekend kaya I’m going to write this blog post using, once again, both the English and Filipino languages… Nakakapagod ang weekend na ito PERO ito ang isa sa mga PINAKAMASAYANG weekend sa buhay ko…

Yesterday morning (Saturday), I was late for my first subject (Strength of Materials)… Nung pumasok ako ng room, naabutan ko na nagdra-drama ung professor namin… Akala ko na galit siya sa mga late, hindi pala… Galit siya dun sa mga hindi pumasok nung araw na iyon… Nakita niya kasi sila Xave, Dianne, at Jhen na papunta ng McDo kahit na may pasok kami… Haaaaayyy, sana hindi sila magka-problem… Sa class na ‘yun, grabe, super active kami ni Tin… Super compute at super sigaw ng mga sagot… hehehehe… After that class, Ginpao and I proceeded to our Numericals class… There, we met Kath, Lester, and Eli… Siyempre, wala na naman kaming ginawa ni Ginpao kundi ang kunan ng picture si Eli… wahahahha… I borrowed Lester’s notebook before our class started… During our Numericals class, Kath and I were very active on giving the answers (kasi meron ng mga sagot ung notebook ni Lester, no need to compute!) heheheheh… After Numericals, Ginpao and I ate our lunch at McDo and reviewed for our exam on Logic Lecture… Ayaw ko nang i-kuwento ung nangyari sa exam… Ang masasabi ko lang: AKALAIN MO YUN!!! heheheh… After that, we proceeded to IEEE to have our exam… After taking the exam, we prepared for our gimmik! Lumabas muna kami ng campus nila Lester at Eli para magpa-load habang hinihintay nila Kath at Ginpao si Braymon… Tumawag si Eli sa payphone sa loob ng Mapua at nagpapahintay siya sa amin ni Lester… Sinabi namin sa kanya na mauuna kami sa loading station sa labas… Habang nag-papaload kami ni Lester, dumating si Eli at galit na galit sa amin… Hindi kami pinapansin hanggang sa pagbalik namin sa loob ng Mapua… Dumating na si Braymon, at lumabas na kami ng campus at lumakad papunta sa LRT station para sa aming gimmik (manuod ng Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire sa Glorietta 4)… Hindi sumama sa amin si Kath because she had to go somewhere else (SM Manila)… On our way to the LRT station, kinausap na kami (Lester and Me) ni Eli… Niloloko lang pala niya kami… hehehehe… Nice one Eli, napaniwala mo ako dun ah, pang best actor… hehehehe… Bumili rin si Ginpao dun sa may bangketa sa may LRT ng parang nuggets na laruan na umiilaw-ilaw… binilhan niya rin kami nila Lester, Eli at Bmon… Sa LRT station, matagal kaming naghintay ng train… Ang gusto kasi sakyan ni Eli ay ung train na isa lang ang ilaw sa harap at paos… Yun daw kasi ung mahaba… (Gusto niya sa mahabang train sumakay para magkasya siya… wahahahahah). Sa loob ng train, masaya rin kaming nag-kuwentuhan… Bumaba kami sa EDSA para lumipat sa MRT station… Nakita namin dun si Jeff Vasquez (CoE student din sa Mapua na ka-batch namin)… We asked him to join us sa Glorietta 4 at sumama naman siya… Sa loob ng MRT (train), naging masaya kami sa pang-aasar kay Eli lalo na nung sumali sa pang-aasar ung mga senior citizens doon… wahahahahhaha… After that train ride (which ended at Ayala station), we went to G4 cinemas but we decided to eat first… We ate at Yellow Cab… After eating, bumalik agad kami sa G4 cinemas at pumila sa napakahabang queue of people… GRABE! SUKDULAN NG HABA ANG PILA!!! Sa counter, naubusan kami ng seats for the early screening times… That was why we ended up on the 11:00pm show of Harry Potter, last full show ng G4 Cinema 2… Because of the time, napagdesisyunan namin nila Lester at Eli na mag-overnight na lang kina Braymon… While Ginpao and Jeff naman ay nagdesisyon na umuwi sa kani-kanilang mga bahay… 8:30pm kami bumili ng tickets kaya sa mga oras ng aming paghihintay, naglaro na lang kami sa time zone… Aliw na aliw sina Lester at Braymon dun sa boxing game doon, kaya naman after several times of playing, nanakit ang braso at kamay ni Braymon… Si Eli at Ginpao naman ay sumayaw sa Dance Mania… Sinubukan din namin ung game na kailangang mag stack ng blocks para makuha ung prize… Talo naman kami… Nung mga 10:30pm na, pumasok na kami ng sinehan… Sa loob, bago tuluyang pumasok sa pinakaloob ng sinehan, nag-pictuRRRan muna kami (sana ma-upload ko!!!)… After taking pictures, we then looked for our seats… Umupo kami sa 1st row sa pinakagitna, it was a very nice row of seats! hehehe… Ang ganda ng Harry Potter kahit na medyo iba ung ibang scenes sa movie doon sa book… GALING!!! Kaso nga lang, pareho kami ni Lester ng nasabi after nung movie: BITIN!!!!! waaaaaahhhh… Ang tagal pa nung 5th part! After the movie (1:30 am), Jeff went home and Ginpao rode a taxi home… Lester, Bmon, Eli, and I had a bus ride going to Rotonda… On the bus, Eli had an experience with a very yucky thing… Wag niyo na itanong kung ano yun dahil baka MA-SUKA lang kayo! YUUUUUCCKK!!! We rode a tricycle and then walked papunta sa tinutuluyan ni Bmon… BTW, kahit sa street nila Bmon, namamatay at bumubukas parin ung mga street lights sa tuwing dadaan si Lester… wahhahah… LAKAS talaga! At Bmon’s place, nag-kuwentuhan muna kaming apat… After some minutes, nahiga na si Lester at sumunod na rin ako sa paghiga sa tabi niya… Pinatay na ni Bmon ung ilaw then pumasok na siya sa room niya para matulog… Eli didn’t sleep kasi sabi niya na hindi raw siya makatulog… Natulog kami ni Lester dahil sa sobrang pagod… Paggising namin ni Lester kanina, kinuwento ni Eli kung paano kami matulog… Sabi niya na para raw nananaginip si Lester… Kuwento rin ni Eli na there was one instance na nag-stretch ng kamay si Lester at muntik na raw akong tamaan sa mukha… Good thing na kasabay ng pag-stretch ni Lester ay ang pag-change ko raw ng position kaya naka-iwas raw ako… heheheh… Ang likot pala namin matulog ni Lester! wahahahah… Siyempre, walang kamatayang picture taking ang naganap pagkagising… Kahit ang natutulog na si Braymon ay hindi nakaligtas sa aking camera… wahhahaahah…. Si Lester naman ay photogenic pa rin kahit bagong gising… At si Eli… AYAW pa rin mag-pa-pictuRRRe!!! Paggising ni Braymon, in-install niya ung Generals sa PC niya… As usual, napaka-lakas pa rin ni LAKAS (Lester) kasi natalo niya ung PC na naka-BRUTAL mode!!! Before eating lunch, nanuod muna kami ng Naruto episodes 113-115 ata un… Basta un ung episode na lumaban si Choji dun sa isa pang mataba hanggang sa laban ni Neji dun sa may sapot na kalaban… heheheh… Kumain kami ng lunch: MALATANG kanin na sinaing ni Bmon at mga delatang niluto ni Eli… wahahahahah…. After eating, Lester, Eli and I went home… Si Eli ay sumakay dun sa may EDSA habang kami naman ni Lester ay nag LRT pabalik sa Central Station… Lester and I parted ways sa may Park and Ride…

GRABE!!! WHAT A WEEKEND!!! Ang daming nangyari, nakakapagod PERO napakasaya!!!

I really had a great time with my friends this weekend! I really had a grand time with Lester, Bmon, and Eli… This weekend is one of my most memorable weekends… ’til next time…

Always remember to study hard and at the same time have LOTS of FUN! Sabi nga nung gasgas na quote: "All work with no play makes Juan a dumb boy!" heheheheh….

Sige na at manunod pa ako ng Goin’ Bulilit! wahhahahahaha…

PLAY ON!

Heya! I just finished emptying my yahoo mailbox and after typing this blog post I’ll start on working on my Laboratory Report for Electronics…

Let me start sharing with you what happened this day… This day started late for me… I woke up late but, still, I got to school early… I met Kath and her brother, again (see yesterday’s blog post), but this time, I met them along the streets of Intramuros… Kath and I went to W500 and we were surprised… There were no people on the room… We went to Eli’s room and it was also deserted… We decided to go to our classroom on Strength of Materials and found Tintin… Jhen, Xave, and Dianne (members of the first Numericals class) came and told us that Sir Hortinella did not attend their class… Kath left the room when our professor came in… Nothing special happened during our Strength of Materials class… After that class, I hurriedly went to our Numericals room to meet Kath, Eli, and Lester… There, we waited for Sir Hortinella (just to make sure that he would also not attend our class)… After almost 30 minutes, we decided to stay on the room because the airconditioning unit was turned on… There, I took pictures of Kath and Bmon, candid pictures of Eli, and pictures of Lester (while he was sleeping)… heheheh… LAKAS! BTW, Lester was fine this day… He got back to his ownself after the hard day he had yesterday (see previous blog post)… After an hour and a half on our Numericals room, Kath, Lester, and Eli went to their Logic Lecture class while Ginpao, Bmon and I went to eat our lunch at the "Sizzling-an"… heheheh… During our (Ginpao and me) Logic Lecture class, our professor called a lot of our classmates to answer his questions about the new topic… Luckily, I guess, Ginpao and I were not called… heheheh… After our classes, Kath, Lester, Eli, Ginpao and I went with Bmon to SM to buy some stuff (food)… There, we had a great time teasing one another… heheheheh… Daddy Bmon (that’s what we called him because he was the one buying food and we were just following him) bought oreo and chips ahoy (aside from other food) and told us that we would eat those on Saturday (we are going to watch the fourth installment of the Harry Potter film on Saturday at…. hmmm… We still do not know where we would watch the movie…) After buying food, we went home… Hmmmm… That was my day…

Everyone’s back to normal… That was good… I really had a great day with my friends…

That’s it for now… I still have plenty of school works to finish (that’s normal)! ’til next time… Always remember to treasure and value your friends!

WORK ON!

Greetings!

It’s been a week since I last posted here… haaaaaayyy… Ang dami kasing ginagawa at talagang nakakapagod na ang mga ito… Oo nga pala, what’s with the title?! Maiba lang… For a change, I’ll try to mix up the Filipino and English languages sa pagsulat ng blog post na ito… A small change wouldn’t hurt, would it?! hehehehe….

This day started out well… Pumasok ako ng maaga… hehehehe… Nasasanay na uli ako sa pagpasok ng maaga… Nakita ko si Kath and her brother in front of the bookstore… I went with Kath to the UNIX room and waited for her class and LAKAS (Lester)… After Lester’s class, Kath asked me to arrange her Laboratory Report for Electronics… Syempre, I’m always there to help my friends… I agreed and arranged her report… Kath and Eli went to their class, Bmon was on his Electronics Laboratory class, and Ginpao was not yet in school, leaving me and Lester outside the UNIX room… As I was studying for our exam in UNIX (kasabay ng pagpilas ng mga pages ng laboratory manual ni Kath), napansin ko na matamlay si LAKAS habang gumagawa ng laboratory report para sa Electronics nila… Ang mga dahilan kung bakit siya matamlay: hindi siya masyadong nakatulog (yesterday was our Logic Laboratory class and we went home very tired at around 9:00 in the evening) because he made his laboratory report for Electronics, he didn’t eat his breakfast, he didn’t get the correct answer on their activity in POSIX… hmmmm… Kahit sino naman siguro na makakaranas din nun tatamlay… Matamlay nga siya PERO he’s still the same LAKAS that we know… After Kath and Eli’s UNIX class and Braymon’s Electronics Laboratory class, we went upstairs para ihatid sina Kath, Eli at Lester… Nung nagsimula na ang klase nila, kumain kami ni Braymon, saan pa, sa McDonalds… Nag-aral din kami para sa UNIX exam namin… After eating, Ginpao met us at McDo, then we went at ADAM’s to buy graphing papers, and went back to school for our Electronics Lecture class… Wala na naman kaming ginawa bukod sa magdagdag ng kalyo sa mga daliri (kumopya ng ubod ng haba na notes!)… After that class, we went to our UNIX room to take the second exam… I got 38/50 on the On-Line exam and I answered most of the problems on the written exam… After our UNIX class and Electronics Laboratory class of Kath, Eli, and LAKAS, we went to their room on Strength of Materials… Matamlay pa rin si Lester… While waiting for them, Gimpao and I kept ourselves busy by making letters for the four of them (Kath, Lester, Eli and Bmon)… I gave my letters to them after their class and they found themselves very dizzy and confused kung paano sisimulan basahin at kung paano babasahin  ang mga sulat ko para sa kanila… On our way home, Lester shared to me why he was matamlay… Sabi niya na hindi talaga siya nakakain ng kahit isang meal ngayong araw (because wala siyang vacant tuwing Wednesday except dun sa time after POSIX na ginugol pa niya sa pagtapos ng lab report niya) kaya gusto na niyang umuwi… He added na ang tanging pinagkunan niya ng nutrition (lakas) for this day ay TUBIG… Yeah, WATER lang… Grabe, pero kahit ganun ang nangyari, namamatay at bumubukas pa rin ang mga street lights sa tuwing dadaanan ni Lester ang mga ito… wahhahahah… LAKAS TALAGA!!! Grabe talaga ang araw na ito… As in… Ang daming kakaibang nangyari…

Hmmm… I think that this ends my blog post this evening! I hope that all of you had a great day even if others haven’t had a good day… As I sleep this night, I pray and hope that all of you would have a great Thursday tomorrow… Sana ay magkaroon kayo ng maraming sweet dreams!

’til next time… Have plenty of sleep, study hard, and HUWAG NIYONG GUTUMIN ANG SARILI NINYO!

EAT ON!

Hello!

WHAT A DAY!!! This day was very tiring but it was a lot of FUN!!! It seems that people have the same amount of energy this day… heheheheh… Let me share to you what happened this wonderful day…

I went to school early and as I was walking on the streets of Intramuros many Mapuans gather on different places… Some were chatting, some were laughing and some were playing around! Energy is in the air! I SMS Lester asking him to wait for me outside the UNIX room… I saw him sitting on the chairs of the North building reading an SMS message and smiling… We went upstairs to see what Braymon is doing… We then went down again and stayed at the corridor in front of the UNIX room… There, with the help of my LAKAS friend, I reviewed for the first exam on UNIX… Lester was really happy and I didn’t help but ask him why he feels so much happiness… whahahahaha… Then he told me that he was happy because he saw us (his friends) again… HOW SUUUUUWEEET! wahahahahah… Bmon came and a lot more happy chats occurred… Eli and Kath finished UNIX early and we chatted more… Energy was really overflowing because most of us shared a lot of nice stories and planned a lot of things… The bell rang and Eli, Lester and Kath went to their Electronics Laboratory class… Bmon and I proceeded to McDo to eat our Lunch… At McDo…. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!!! That’s what popped into my head upon entering McDo…. Many students from Ateneo de Manila were eating and it was like McDo was transformed into a warfield… So many people, so much energy… Minutes after, the students left and McDo was back to normal… Bmon and I waited for Ginpao and we went to our Electronics Lecture class… There, energy was also overflowing… Don’t ask me why… All I can say is that large energy was consumed because of so much writing… Mind energy was used during our UNIX class… We had our first quiz (online). It was fun and I got 74 out of 100… Not bad for a fifty-item quiz, two points each! Then we (Bmon, Ginpao, Me) went upstairs to meet Lester, Kath and Eli… We proceeded to the South Building for their Strength of Materials class… While walking, we joked that we would go home and leave Eli… Eli got annoyed and walked on a different direction… Upon knowing that they (Kath, Lester and Bmon) have no class on Strength of Materials, we went to Eli’s class to know if he’s really upset! Good thing, he was not! His class started and the five of us (Me, Kath, Lester, Bmon and Ginpao) went to, where else, McDo to eat because Kath was really hungry… At McDo, Lester and I bought McFlurry and fries for everyone! In Pinoy terms, NANLIBRE KAMI! whahahaahahahahahah! Eli came and a lot more energy was consumed through music, singing, chatting, and picture taking… I took pictures of my friends’ eyes! hehehehe… I would let Xave, Jhen, Tin, and Dianne guess whose eyes are whose! heheheh… Our day ended walking and chatting happily… Lester and Kath, Eli, Bmon, and Ginpao, and Me parted ways and still full of energy… At the bus, I saw my cousin, Aldous, and we talked about college life… BTW, Aldous is my cousin on my mother’s side, a college student (freshman) at UST… We went home together…

As I promised yesterday…. Here’re more clues for what Lakas Kahel Lester’s new nickname means! PRETSEL - two words… hmmm… For the first word… Rewind, rewind, rewind… I hope you got what I mean…  For the second word… It is a four-letter filipino word! hehehehehe… Got it?! More clues tomorrow… whahahahahaha….

This day was really great… Don’t forget to take care of yourselves and don’t abuse your body… CONSERVE ENERGY!!! whahahahahaha!

Let me share to you a really funny SMS message that I received from my highschool friend, Zarah: "Ano ba ang X? Un bang pinaiyak ka na, pinatawad mo pa? Binabalewala ka na, hinahanap mo pa? Nagmamahal na ng iba, minamahal mo pa? O un bang lintik na variable na palaging hinahanap sa Algebra???" heheheh… Figure that one out!

til tomorrow! TTFN!!

LAUGH ON!

Good Evening…

FUN! This is the word that bests describe this day… Want to know why?! Let me share to you the FUN things that happened this day!

~ I was not late for my first class… hmmm… This now becomes my habit… heheheh… I went to the rooftop of Mapua and found Tin… We waited for Jhen, Xave and Dianne… They were doing their seatwork and Jhen didn’t have a calculator… Tin returned Jhen’s calculator thirty minutes before the bell rang… Wasn’t that FUN?! heheheh

~ It was our Strength of Materials class… Guess what?! I got a high score on our second exam! YEHEY!!!! It was 144 out of only 140 items!!! Amazing!!! FUN FUN FUN!!!

~ After that class, I hurried to go upstairs to see Kath, Lester, and Eli… Lester dared me not to attend our Logic Lecture class… Least he expected, I dared him back not to attend Logic Lecture and instead we’re going to play Red Alert… heheheh… Maybe his conscience bothered him… wahahaha… At the end, we attended our respective Logic Lecture classes… FUN DARES!

~ During our Numericals class, Lester and Eli sat-in… They were worried that our professor would notice that they were not members of our class… While our professor was discussing something, both of them bowed their heads so that they would not be noticed… But I guess that our professor knew because he kept on looking at us especially on Lester and Eli… hehehehe… Our professor gave us a seatwork and left the class… The two had their breaths back at last! wahahahahah… FUN but a little bit scary!

~ During our Logic Lecture class, FUN didn’t stop on raining… As usual, our professor poured in a lot of jokes… He even comitted a lot of mistakes in solving one of the problems because of his own jokes… heheheh…

~ Finally, our Logic Laboratory… The happiest class among the Logic Laboratory classes for this term… Many had transpired this evening… From singing, resolving the quiz, going home THEN coming back, to, most especially, helping one another… FUN was present during that class and smiles were seen on each of my classmates’ face… hmmm… Although a little tiring, Logic Laboratory was indeed a lot of FUN!!!

BTW, Lakas Kahel Lester has a new nickname… It’s PRETSEL… Wanna know why he’s called PRETSEL?? I’ll give you clues… PRETSEL means two words… One shows that he is truly LAKAS and the other defines himself… Got it?! hmm… If not, just wait for my blog post tomorrow and find out what PRETSEL means… wahahahahahha…. Try asking Eli, Kath or Bmon about the meaning… wahahhaha… Or better stay tuned on tomorrow’s blog post!

FUN… A short word with a great impact!

I hope that you had a FUN day just like me!!! May we have a lot of FUN days ahead of us!

’til my next blog post! GOOD NIGHT!

FUN ON!

Hello World!

LIFE is like a LIGHT! Sometimes it is turned ON, sometimes it is OFF…

Here are the On’s and Off’s of this day!

ON - I came to school early… I went to the North building and found Kath alone… We then went to the cashier to pay for Kath’s tuition… While paying, Eli came and joined us… Minutes later, Ginpao followed… We went to the Unix room to wait for Lakas (Lester)… Braymon also went to school early… When Eli and Kath went to their class, Bmon, Lester, Ginpao and I proceeded to McDo to eat our lunch…

OFF - The songs played this day on McDonalds were a little bit annoying…

OFF - We were called at the IEEE tambayan for a meeting… We were informed that the meeting would be held at 12:00… But it started late…

ON - Even if the meeting started a little late, it was fun because I had the chance to chat with Xavier, Jhen, and Tin…

OFF - We went back at McDonalds after the meeting… I was with Kath, Eli, Lester, Bmon, Ginpao, Janet, and Honelyn… Thirty minutes were left before our Electronics class and we still didn’t know what the given beta for the first number was… We assumed that it was 200…

OFF - Together with Bmon and Ginpao, I went to our Electronics class and found out that the given beta was 100…

ON - We were given the chance to change our answers… Yeah, it was reasonable that our professor would let us change our answers because it was her fault (she didn’t write the complete given specifications of the problem)…

ON - We did not write any long notes this day…

OFF - We were also informed that we would have a quiz on Friday, which means that Ginpao and I have a slight chance to attend the seminar… huhuhuu… I really want to attend that seminar…

ON - Ginpao and I were thinking of funny ways on how to attend the seminar on Friday… You don’t want to know what our plans are…

ON - Our manual for the UNIX class arrived! YEHEY!!! At last!

OFF - That also means that we would have our first quiz on Wednesday…

OFF - While waiting for Kath, Eli, Lester and Bmon, Ginpao and I (again) went to the periodicals section to find some projects for our Electronics Laboratory prototype… We only found two… We went at the library and found nothing…

OFF - Eli had a quiz on Electromagnetics… After his quiz, he went to Kath’s room and found us (Ginpao and me) on the corridor… He was really sad because he wasn’t able to answer two out of, I guess, four problems… His sadness continued until we parted ways…

ON - ALAS! Lester is back! After being sad last Saturday, he was himself this day! He was LAKAS again… In fact, he was very happy, especially when we went home… hmmm… One more thing, every time we pass by a street light it turns On and Off… I wonder why?! Maybe it’s because of LAKAS!!! wahahahaha!

This day was really full of On’s and Off’s and This made this day really great!!!

Remember that even if we are experiencing some Off’s in our lives just continue to live on… And if we see that other people are on their OFF’s, let us be of HELP by becoming a light that is always turned ON for them…

Another day has ended… May you have a great week!

Good Night!

LIGHT ON!

There must be something wrong with this day… A lot had happened and some of them are really unusual… I think that the earth rotated and revolved differently this day… heheheh

There must be something wrong with… TIME… I wasn’t late for my first class… I came to school early to borrow notes from Jhen… I went to their Numericals classroom and we talked until our professor came…

There must be something wrong with… SIR HORTINELA… He wasn’t that late on Jhen’s class…

There must be something wrong with… SIR KIT… After getting the notes from Jhen, I went downstairs and found Aexcel… We studied for the quiz on Strength of Materials… We compared lectures and found out that our professor gave different solutions for certain problems… The solutions given to Aexcel’s class were far different from those given to us… That made us a little confused…

There must be something wrong with… MY SOLUTION… I think that I made a mistake on one of my solutions on the exam… How bad…

There must be something wrong with… ELI… While waiting for Sir Hortinela, Eli was annoying Ginpao by getting his shoes… Suddenly, Ginpao pushed Eli to the ground… Guess what?! I thought that an earthquake occured on the rooftop of Mapua because Eli hit the ground so hard! Kath and I were so shocked… Lester even stood up from where he was sitted and was surprised with what happened… Good thing that only the five of us (Me, Kath, Lester, Ginpao, and Eli) saw the incident… BUT, Raiza and Dabbie saw Eli on the ground… wahahahah…

There must be something wrong with… THE NUMBER ZERO… During our Numericals class, we computed a lot of things and we were giving our professor the answers… We were challenging one another on who’s going to give the answer first… One of our classmates shouted one of the answers with ZERO in it… He said zero differently…Instead of saying it as ZEEROW he said ZERO (literally)… We can’t help but laugh quietly… Roan can’t hide her feelings and was laughing all through out the class, which made me laugh as well…

There must be something wrong with… SIR HORTINELA (again)… He dismissed us even before the first bell rang… heheheeh…

There must be something wrong with… MC DONALDS… Few were eating lunch when we came… That was a good thing because that means that there’re more seats for us…

There must be something wrong with… SIR DAMIAN… He was too active on our class… Yeah, he is always active, but this time he is even more active! His jokes made us really laugh and those jokes made us awake during the class…

There must be something wrong with… XAVIER… I don’t know what… I just felt it… wahahahah… Maybe because the JPCS team was playing basketball against the MICRO team… hmmmm…

There must be something wrong with… KATHLEEN… She was not herself this afternoon… She was mad, angry, and worse, she wanted to bite everybody… huhuhuhu… What happened?! hehehe… I hope that she’s fine now!

There must be something wrong with… LESTER… This morning, he was great… He was the same LAKAS and KAHEL (he was wearing orange shirt today…) that we know… After our classes, he was a little different… He looked very sad… Hmmm… The reason behind his sadness… That we do not know… I hope that he would try to open up… hmmm…

There must be something wrong with… MY FINGERS… I keep on committing errors in typing this blog post… I had interchanged a lot of letters while typign this blog… hehehe

What a day!!!

Remember that we could never change what has been done, may it be right or wrong… All we have to do is to continue the good things we did and learn from the wrongs we had done!

I hope that you had a good day… May you have a fruitful Sunday ahead of oyu!

’til tomorrow! Take Care!

LIVE ON!

LAKAS!!!

Definitely the most used word of the week! LAKAS means many things… Commonly, LAKAS means strength… LAKAS also stands for power… But for me and my friends, LAKAS means a little different… For us, LAKAS is LESTER!!!

Let me now share with you what happened this LAKAS day… I went to school early to avoid being late! And I was successful! I wasn’t late, in fact, I was too early… While waiting for the bell to ring, I renamed Lester’s pictures (see yesterday’s blog post)… Kathleen came, few minutes before the bell rang! I waited for Xave, Jhen, Tin, and Dianne… The four finally came and I was surprised to see our professor inside the room (I didn’t see him enter the room or walk in front of me and Kath… We were so busy renaming the pictures! wahahahaha)… We did nothing during our Strength of Materials class… Our professor just returned all the school works we passed for the past month… Numericals class wasn’t new either… All we did was to compute, compute, and compute long sets of computations! We then went to Logic Lecture 2 class… But it wasn’t our section… Ginpao and I were planning to sit-in on that class… Unluckily, our professor didn’t show up for some unkown reasons… Without anything to do, Ginpao did what he always does: SLEEP!!! Feddie, Kath, and Eli sang… Braymon played Worms using Eli’s phone… Lester played billiards using my phone… And me… I watched Lester beat my cellphone on the billiards game, and I also listened to the three as they sang… I couldn’t do my past time (take pictures) because my phone was with Lester… After those things, we did nothing more but to go out of the campus… Kath went home with her brother while the five of us (Braymon, Lester, Eli, Ginpao, and of course, ME) went to SM to play Red Alert… I think that bad luck was on our sides during those times because all of the computer shops on SM didn’t have Red Alert installed on the computers… We ate at KFC and thought of other places where we could play the on-LAN game… We found a shop outside SM and there we played Generals (an on-LAN game similar to Red Alert, I wish I’m right with the description!)… A three on two battle took place… Eli, Braymon and Me were on one team while Lester and Ginpao were on the other team… Once again, Lester proved that he is truly worthy of the name LAKAS! Don’t even bother to know what happened during our game… I think that you already know who won… wahahahahaah! I really enjoyed the game, mostly because I was playing it with some of my closest friends (NAKANANG!!! wahahahah)…. We stopped playing at around 7:00pm (Because of so much fun, I lost count on how many hours we had played)… I think that we played for almost 2 hours… After playing, we went home… That was my day! A little tiring but a lot of fun!!!

Here’s what your waiting for: today’s MESSAGES:

KATHLEEN: Ang saya! Grabe… Ang dami!!! wahahahaha… Nalamangan pa ung pictures natin sa cellphone ko… Akalain mo na meron pa siyang sariling folder dito! Wahahahahahha!

FRIENDSTERS: Paano ba yan?! Hindi ko na naman mababati lahat! Pero deep inside, sa kaloob-looban ng aking katawan, kasama ng mga laman ng aking tiyan, together with the blood running through my veins… HELLO SA INYONG LAHAT!!!

I also want to share with you this cute SMS message I received from Kathleen which she received from Revy… "You don’t have to count the stars and the sand to know how long our friendship would last… For engineers like me, it’s simply: the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero! The answer: INFINITY!!!"

Always remember that each of us has his or her own Strengths… All we have to do is to discover them and use them to help others! LAKAS!

’til next time! I hope that you had a great day and may you have an even greater day ahead of you!

POWER ON!
