Bago Matapos ang Taon...

Of course, a blog post muna. Haha! Sayang din ito. Haha! 

Anyway, sino magpapaputok sa inyo? Ako hindi eh. Takot kasi ako sa paputok, and what makes them think na duwag ako, eh ganun talaga. Duwag na kung duwag, wag lang ako mawalan ng kamay sa mga paputok na yan. Balita ko, Goodbye Philippines ang pinakamalakas na paputok ngayon, tama ba? Haha! Sabi yata ng balita. Hehe...

New Year's Resolution? Hmm... nung isang araw ko pa naiisip yan, at may isha-share ako na nabasa ko sa isang fan page sa Facebook... and eto sya...

Mga new year resulution ko:

1. Hindi na ako mangangako, Promise!
2. Hindi na ako mageenglish, Never Again!
3. Hindi na ako magsusugal, Pustahan Pa Tayo!
4. AT hindi na ako magsasalita ng tapos, PERIOD!

Haha! Syempre, ambabaw naman kasi ng kaligayahan ko kaya ayun, natawa naman ako. :D

So nga pala, may sha-share pala ako sa inyo. Kanina lang, nagba-browse ako dito sa net, eh nakita ko eto. Sila yung mga OS-Tans. Sino ba sila? Sila lang naman yung mga parodies ng mga Operating Systems sa world of computers. 

 

 Nakakatuwa silang tignan at interesting ang mga histories behind their personalities. :D

Visit them at 

http://ostan-collections.net/ 

or dito din sa wiki nila. 

http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/

Promise, interesting, lalo na yung wiki nila. :D

Siguro, ang sarap magturo ng Introduction to Operating Systems pag ganito ang intro mo sa mga bata. ^_^

Oh pano, yun lang muna. bay-Bay! :D

Christmas Kahapon... Oo nga! Ayaw mo Maniwala?

Kahapon, Christmas day, pero sa mga nakikita ko sa Facebook Status Streams, eh puro mga algebraic expressions... most especially letter X. Haha! Dati galit na galit kayo sa Math, na sumulat pa nga kayo kay Mr. Math na isolb na nya ang sarili nyang problema, pero itong problema nyo sa letter X, eh sinusubstitute nyo kay Christ... Wew. -_-

Anyway, oo nga! Christmas kahapon. So what? Hahaha! 

Kamusta mga napamaskuhan nyo? Ako wala eh. Hanggang ngayon, kailangan ko pa ring magbanat ng buto para magkapera, and I mean magwork muna sa bahay. Hindi part-time, okay. Hindi ko pa kaya yun. Tsaka na yun.

Binigyan ako kahapon ng chocolate... ang tatak ay Safari... o Safaki. Ang kulit kasi ng nakasulat eh. Hindi na rin kasi ako nage-expect ng bonggang mga regalo eh. Lahat kasi kami, naghihirap na din. Wala na rin akong magagawa, kailangan kong makuntento sa kung anung meron ako. And I was somewhat alone for consecutive hours kahapon, until now. May mga time na lagi akong naiiwang mag-isa. 

So I chose to play my Playstation 2 para malibang, at sa wakas, natapos ko din ang ilang weeks ko na ring nilalarong Final Fantasy XII. :D Nakaka-enjoy kasi natapos ko sya at nakakalungkot kasi hindi siya perfect game! :(( Heto yung credits ng nilalaro ko, and it's not edited! Why? Syempre, TV ang pinicturan ko eh! :D

Sa sobrang interesting ng ending nya, I wanted to have a Nintendo DS para matuloy ko yung kwento, ang Final Fantasy XII : Revenant Wings! 

Today, I was ALL ALONE again here sa house namin. And ayun. Walang gaanong makausap. 

So here's my opportunity to study well! Oh sya, alis na muna ako. Next time ule.! ^^

Malapit na ang Christmas Day

"My heart wishes for you, and my mind wishes for my success in life."

(Teka, ano ang kinalaman ng Blizzaga spell sa blog entry ko?)

Christmas na naman. Ramdam na ng iba sa atin ang simoy ng Pasko, lalo na doon sa mga may kasama na at mainit na ang Pasko. At para sa mga malalamig ang Pasko... tara, samahan nyo ako... ako din eh, malamig din ang Pasko. Kahit magkumot ako, eh kung ang puso ko naman, eh nanigas na, wala rin! :))

Hahaha! Tama na ang kalamigan na yan, at baka mag-init! HAHA!

Ilan sa atin, hindi special someone ang hanap. Ang iba, ngayong Pasko, ay mga gifts! Ako din, gusto ko ng gifts, and I wish I can have the things I want in life. Medyo kumpleto na ang buhay ko. Satisfied na ako sa mga burdens ng school works, and what's missing is my own lovelife. ^_^

At marahil ang iba sa atin, malamang naghahanda na ng libu-libong pera, magpayabangan lang sa Bagong Taon. Eh syempre naman, ikaw ba naman ang may pinakamalakas na paputok, eh di sikat ka na! Di ba? So dapat, naghahanda na rin ako ng five million dollars para sa pagbili ng Bazooka at RPG-7! Hahaha!

TRIVIA: RPG-7 stands for Rocket Propelled Grenade with 7 kilograms of weight. Ano difference nila ng Bazooka? Haha! Ang Bazooka, galing sa US, while RPG-7 is from the Soviet Union.

Oy! HAHA! Lapit na din pala ng New Year! :)) HAHA! Dapat mayroon tayong... Hahaha! NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION! And syempre, maraming pako na naman ang mapapako. Hahaha! :)) Ako, hindi ako naniniwala dyan. Ayokong makapako ng mga sinabi ko, masakit kaya yun sa paa! Sige, ikaw kaya ang ipako ko? Di ba?

That's the reality. Malungkot man ako kasi wala pa sya sa buhay ko, masaya naman ako kasi kahit papaano, nagagamit ko ngayon ang bakasyon ko sa pagre-relax, pagsi-C++, pagre-review sa Prelim Exam na parating sa HBO at marami pa! :)

HEP HEP! Bago ko matapos ang blog post ko, eto ang award na nakuha ko from Ms. Nice! :))

Kayo? Ano ba ang mga balak nyo habang bakasyon?

A Weird Wednesday

Today was a very weird day, you know! 

I woke up too early just to finish my write-ups in my Electrical Engineering (EE) 2 Laboratory, in order to gain an attendance. Write-ups are the handwritten versions of the experiments given by the instructors, and my hands were damn stiff writing everything! It makes me frustrate more that I'll be doing these for the rest of the semester. >_<

In our class, I was again, linked up with someone from the past... and I laughed at the idea. I forgot that he was only part of my past. :)) Before the classes start, he was in need of short bond papers. Of course, I am a good boy....? (ahahahah!) I gave him my spare bond paper, and my classmate, Donna, offered also. While in class, we were tasked to draw the OSCILLOSCOPE AGAIN! What the heck would we do with that big piece of oscilloscope. I mean, I have drawn that thing twice already, and I'll be drawing him again? And because I am no artist, I had only a sketch of the front matter of the oscilloscope, and made some labeling, and that's it! An oscilloscope sketch made by a pre-school kid. :))

But hey, here's one catch. A group of Psychology students from the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) entered the laboratory to conduct a survey for their thesis, and guess what, that survey is only for "straight males" only, so the likes of me must not answer the survey! Hahahaha! But the funny thing is, the topic is all about masturbation. Haha! Why? Don't gays masturbate too? Hahahaha! 

Because of my curiosity, I wanted to read the contents of the survey, while other people are busy with the "art class"... ay hindi pala. Haha! EE Laboratory pala. Sorry. I thought it was an art class. While I'm reading the survey, I encountered too many grammatical errors, and the funny one was on the instructions.

"Direction: Here are thirsty questions to answer ... " 

Woah! Will I become thirsty if I answer them? And I counted all the questions, and it was thirty! :)) HAHAHAHA! A Typographical error that made me laugh to my fullest! But deep inside, I felt bad about all the questions inside. Maybe just my "can't-get-over-with-the-past" sickness. :))

That was my first and last class of the day, and the next day was the start of the vacation. While I was traveling home, my mind just bugged up with several questions... still unanswered. All about my past... but never thought that the next events will happen. 

I slept immediately, upon arriving home. I woke up by 6PM, and my kapatid na maliit asked me...

"Kaklase mo pa rin ba si ******?"

WTF! Kapapaginip ko lang sa kanya nun eh..

"Kasi online sya ee..."

Eh anong gagawin ko... 

pero... namiss ko na naman sya. :(

Wew. 

Okaaaay... Yan ang napakaweird na Wednesday.

HEY! Enjoy your Christmas season ha! :))

Surviving in College Mathematics Course

“Ano ba iyan, bagsak na naman! Asar!”

We usually hear this statement whenever one fails in a quiz on any mathematics subject and in order for him to avoid failing in any form of examination, here are some tips for you to apply and probably change your study routine.

• Think positive. Failing in a quiz is not yet the end of the world. Think positive! To avoid such, change or adjust your study habits and allot more time to practice.

• Do not multitask in class. Most students tend to do their assignments in other classes rather than listen. Avoid that habit. Listen first to your professors attentively. Listening to him/her in a way that you can acquire hidden techniques and if you multitask, for sure you’ll miss it. 

• Prepare yourself before entering the class. I know it’s difficult to do this, but with patience, you’ll succeed. Nights before class, read in advance and solve some exercises and try to prepare questions. Entering the class without any background makes you inactive. 

• Take down notes. Note taking is one of the most effective approaches to grasp and master the lesson. After the professor had finished his lecture, copy the problem and its final answer only because most of us depend on what the solution shows, not with our own ways to solve them, which results in basing our solutions with what’s written. 

• Gather resources. Good books come in handy when preparing for quizzes. Resources may include books suggested by some professors, persons to approach when you need clarifications in a certain topic or by effective research of some solved problems on the Internet. It could also be useful to visit the library and look for books that could satisfy your needs. You can also grab reviewers for some guide on solving certain problems also.

• Practice. It can help you minimize the waste of time you need to cram for other classes’ examinations. Prepare a separate notebook and write all types of problems you may encounter and solve them. With this, you could have literally used five hours, where in fact, it was a 14-hour learning experience. 

• Live a good spiritual life. Everything is useless without God’s guidance. Be spiritually active and acquire constant communication with the Lord and leave some time for Him.

Good books, positive thinking, proper practice and strong faith in God could really make a difference in surviving Mathematics.

All I Can Say for my 19th Birthday

First of all, I would like to thank God for all the realizations in life, where I suffer much from the tests of time, all the pains of being in love, the brain freezes these mathematical formulas give me and the times that I need to decide thoroughly for the rest of my life.

Lemme share you my experience today. :))

Upon waking up in the morning, my little brother greeted me, kahit alam kong pinagsisigawan na nya sa buong kaptibahay namin, but I appreciated it. I slept for a minute to recover from my dizziness dahil sa sobrang pagod at puyat. When I arrived from my first classroom, my tropapips gave me greetings! I appreciated it and thanked them for remembering this special day of mine.

While having the day moving on, I saw one of my previous professors and told her that it was my birthday! :)) But what surprised me is that, she bought a cake immediately, as in ura-urada na agad, just for me! So she sent me to the office of the organization. I was with Jean that time. She told me that those people inside never wanted us or even happy with my presence. That's natural. Ako ba naman yung walang silbe sa organization eh. ^_^ So the atmosphere was... napipilitan silang lahat. They're still bitter about everything. I didn't know na ganun pala epekto nun sa mga ganung klaseng tao. Kahit birthday ko, hindi pinalampas. I understand.

I took the box of cake with me along with Jean, and went to their classroom to share it with my friends. I shared our experience inside that office, the reactions of those people's faces, the tension inside... One of my friends, Mark, commented na nababakla sya dun sa lalakeng yun. Kasimple-simpleng bagay lang, hindi sya makaget-over, which is true naman. :)) Guys are not bitter for that long. Maybe he's gay talaga! :)) AYLABDATCOMMENT! :)) Bakla ka pala eh! :)) 

Upon going home, marami pa ring mga bagay ang umiikot sa isip ko, but for now, I let them go. In-enjoy ko ito! Kahit andami pa ring bitter sa akin. Hahahaha! 

Okay. That's all for now. Salamat sa pagbasa and comment lang ng comment! :))

Money or Fulfillment

The first day of classes came in our school. Probably, I had no professors yet when I realized that enrollment is still going on. I've found my friends entertaining and cool! They sometimes share their semestral break's experiences and their boredom in their homes. I, myself, have enjoyed listening to different stories, from one group's youth camp to my friends' experiences of longing. Since the day has ended very fast, I left school and meet my friend, who had been not in our school for a year.

We had stories shared and some experiences from the past. One time, a girl approached us. I don't know what's happening, and suddenly, the girl led me to a certain place, where my friend said that it is a place for socialization. But then, I was still calm, hoping that nothing bad will happen. When we arrived at the place, I observed that the place was somewhat like a bar or a restaurant. That time, I did feel the fear and wanna go back home, but I tried to observe more. A guy approached me and asked if it was my first time in that place. Well, honestly speaking, I never knew that the place where I was now was a company.

That company was somewhat selling ordinary commodities. Then another guy approached me and tried to convince me to listen to a short (and they mean short time) talk of a speaker. The speaker was somewhat very logical. He was convincing us to use up a thousand pesos and that money will return a large amount of money back to you in four days. Then, another speaker shared his experience on joining that specific company. Frankly speaking, he's handsome, but the way he delivers his story was nothing but full of trash talks. I like the point that he wants to portray that money makes the world go around. And that company instills in their audiences' minds the idea that "Why study and get old for less money when you can spend a thousand pesos and return large in days, and become millionaires in months?"

Let's talk that argument.

Yes, I agree that "Bakit pa nga ba ako mag-aaral kung may ganito naman palang kumpanya?" But deep inside, I hate that idea! Why? It's the same as convincing me that "Wag ka na mag-aral, magbenta ka na lang!". You buy the package, sell the contents inside with their own specific prices and buy again another package. You earn big without using big capital. That's right. You can earn as much as fifteen thousand pesos without spending much time. But the idea is wrong. All are legal, as they have said in the seminar, but the idea of telling lies to your friends that one of your family members is gravely sick and you need money JUST TO GET a thousand pesos is the BIG ISSUE.

I know life is already in peril, but that idea violates my rules of conduct, my value system, and everything. Instead of using that opportunity to earn, I would rather work my way out of that billions of money.

Personally, I don't need money. I need love, care, security, friends, family members, God, and fulfillment of my goals in life. Money can destroy me in many ways, while those things that I need does not harm me. Suppose you have the money, and news spread of your wealth. One day, some people would try to break out of your house and ransack EVERYTHING until you, the wealthy one, will lose what you have earned. Whereas, if you worked out your money, did the best strategy, it's a fulfillment you can earn.

Well, that's life. I would choose fulfillment over money.

A Fresh Start for a New Blog

Well, this is another blog of mine. Actually, ginawa ko na itong blog ko during the last periods of my birthday, to show myself that somehow, I must mature gradually. And this will be my new blog, new stories to share and most probably, new insights about life. You may encounter again all my emotions, and I know you're used to it. Walang pakealaman, blog ko 'to! Kung gusto mo magreklamo, gumawa ka ng sarili mong blog. Right?

Anyway, I wanna share this new blog, most probably for me to be aware of what I have done in the past. Sabi nga nila, nakakatawang balikan yung mga times na talagang bagsak na bagsak ka na dahil sa mga kakaibang entities in life.

I can't find time to myself, kaya siguro ibubuhos ko na lang yung time ko para sa sarili ko dito, kumbaga sa tao, nagsasalita sya mag-isa. Di ba?

So ayun muna. My next post is one of my new insights. It's all about money and networking, so stay tuned! :))
