A Frantic Week!
Wednesday Dawn, November 30, 2005
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!
