College Notes

Work

2008-05-27T18:23:00.003+08:00

So glad to have survived work! I am so thankful to God that it wasn't that hard for me for the last 3 days at work. There were fewer enrollees contrary to what we expected. And to add to that we had a relaxing day last saturday. We just had to use the computers our of boredom. hahah. I was assigned to assist the interns but since there were no more interns on the last day, I had no one to attend to. hahah. Thank God. ^_^

I had so much fun with work in spite of the problems I encountered from the very first day. I thank God that I have companions who are kind enough to help me.

Tomorrow, we still have an extended duty. I'm hoping so much that this wouldn't be the last one. I really enjoyed their company and the experience I had. Sadly, we were divided into two groups and the others had their duty today. I just think it might be better if we were all together like we used to.I hope it wasn't that heavy on them. hahah. I'm so much looking forward for tomorrow. ^_^

Good day!

Vacation

Hello Blog World

After a couple of years into blogging, I haven't blogged anything about reasons why I blog. That just makes it weird to keep me coming back to old blogs I used to make my online diary. Yes, I knew the danger of exposing my private life and all but it just isn't enough for me to stop typing in my thoughts on-line. I myself ask the question why blogs have to be online but I also have a personal answer. The shallowest possible reason I can think of is the sharing purpose. It's really good to share something worth reading. Or if not, at least to share a part of your daily life which may interest others.
When I started blogging, (read more)
---This is a linked post from Xanga. I posted it because I find it awkward when friends read my posts---

In this blog, I particularly talk about my day in school - this college life. But since, it's still May, it's still vacation. I don't have classes, not yet. Classes would start by the 2nd of June. I pretty much like my schedule this term because the time is just right for me to do my stuff.
Well I enjoyed and am enjoying being an assistant student in school. It's just priceless having this experience. Experience includes the work, the friends, and the opportunity to hear other's point of view.

This morning I was talking to an aunt of a student in FEU-EAC. She told me all her complaints about the school's policies from the security guard to the enrollment procedure. I didn't really know what to answer. I can't defend the school because I myself do not like it's unorganized system. I can't put it down either because I am studying there. It was just a thought-provoking situation because I didn't know what to really answer. I wish I wasn't bias.

Well, that happened because I was too early in school. I didn't really expect no one to be there when I was already rushing.

Thank God everything was light for me this day. My routine was interrupted yesterday because of other errands. I arrived home late and I still had to buy things. I was also frustrated because I wasn't able to claim my ATM card at Security Bank. I was so tired that I ate right after I arrived home and a few hours later I slept. Today, I was kind of happy that there were only few enrollees.

I hope that tomorrow I wouldn't be that tired. Thank you Lord. Good night.

Rainy Night

2008-05-16T20:13:00.007+08:00

It's a rainy Friday night. This day is my second day in work as a student assistant in school. It is our enrollment week until the 23rd of May. And so, I will be working till that date. I am currently enjoying the benefits of an S.A. in the enrollment process. We were enrolled fast and easy because we already knew the procedure before hand and had all the requirements. I am so blessed and thankful to the Lord that I have already been enrolled yesterday.

I am just quite sad today because of some thoughts that get into my mind. I find things just fine but I fear that I am involving myself into some things that I can't let go of someday. I don't want to be left with nothing again. I had the fear of risking things for myself since that event in my life. I can't just take in everything that comes and let them go as fast as they came. I can't. No, not yet.

So far, not mentioning things I want unsaid, everything is going fine. We were assigned in the main building's lobby at the helpdesk to entertain questions and guide the enrollees. I didn't seem to like it that much because it was not that fun at all. But despite the downtimes there is still that gladness that I was in that position for quite some time. Well, we will take turns to be there and help out on other things.

It's getting cold tonight compared to the past nights. It just shows that summer is almost gone and the typhoon days are here. I am somewhat anticipating the happenings for this upcoming term. I am quite interested because our subjects are mostly computer-related. I find things alike challenging yet interesting and enjoyable. I'm not prepared for school though.

This May is indeed a busy month for me because up until its last week I would be going in and out of the house. I'll be working until Friday of next week then I'll be helping my mother in school on the last week.

Still I thank God for everything because everything is a blessing! Good night. ^_^

1st of May

2008-05-01T18:22:00.004+08:00

It's currently the first day of May and I am still clueless on the happenings in my life. This supposed to be the month wherein too many things would come rushing all at the same time. And that would make me happier than ever again. This should be my month of refreshing and starting for a new outlook on life. But then, everything seems to be unpredictable for me.

I just expect that by this time of my vacation I should have done something worth experiencing. But I guess I can never tell because the month of May just started a couple of hours ago.

I'll be anticipating things all over again. So, for now I need to patient with everything and try to keep myself busy with things that bring me joy. hahah.

Midterms

2007-11-07T19:56:00.000+08:00

It's midterm week once again. Since we had our midterm in AdvProg and P.E. earlier, we only have 5 more tests to go. Going back to school and all required a new shift from everything. First day (Nov 5) we took our Filipino midterm which was known to be on Thursday. The following day we had the scheduled test in Accounting. And now, I need to study for English, Trigana, and GenPsyc since our prof postponed our test in Trigana due to a lot failures in our long test. I guess she has the consideration when it comes to tests but then she gives no consideration for other matters. My classmates were unreasonably asked to leave the room just because of the hair band case. How bad.

Well, I am so happy to tell I got a smashing midterm grade of 4 in AdvProg. hahah. My efforts paid off. ^_^

Now, I must be reviewing. I'll just be updating things as soon as our midterm is done.

Advance Programming

2007-10-30T22:29:00.001+08:00

Yeah we've had our midterm in AdvProg a couple of hours ago. And thank God a lot I got a perfect score. yeah! hahah. I didn't expect that our prof will give those programs as our midterm but anyway, I just thank God for it. I am so happy to finish it in about some time only. But behind the happiness there's still this feeling that I can't get out of my head. I still can't make the sorter program. hahah. I feel really sorry for Regine. Ms. Eya didn't check her work due to the instincts of her asking for help from Orchid. And even EJ was in that case too. But I guess we better just let that pass and look forward for the next time. Well, that's what I learned in life. After all the failures I got even after pursuing and working so hard for the things that I want, I already learned to accept things the way they go about. I'm just not supposed to be regretting every failure and disappointment that comes my way right? Well, I guess so.

And so, today I am finding interesting stuff to work on for this few-days break before the midterm. I am planning to study two to three days before the test. hahaha. ^_^

Yeah. byeee. :D

Election Day

2007-10-29T20:16:00.001+08:00

It's our election for our barangay officials today. I voted for an SK Chairman and seven other SK Kagawads. I am glad to make my first vote in history. hahah. I still have the indelible ink on my index finger on my right hand. hahah.

It's a Monday today and we didn't have classes due to that election. Well, we are having our last day tomorrow before our holiday break. Too bad we'll be having our midterm in Advance Programming. I still can't generate a C program that sorts 5 input numbers in ascending or descending order. I just can't finish what I started. I am interrupted by a lot things in this computer. hahah.

Last Saturday, I had a really really fun moment with some of my classmates, my friends. We've been to Mall of Asia (well not specifically inside the mall) to conduct a community service for our NSTP. We participated in the GK1World Expo held there and volunteered to be the attendant for online registration of volunteers in the GK community. It has been a long busy and tiring day but I enjoyed it so much that I didn't feel the exhaustion until I arrived home. I was almost left by the train. Good thing I caught the last trip to Recto. hahah. ^_^ I am so glad to witness (for the first time) the spectacular fireworks display there at around 6 in the evening. hahah. I am so fortunate that I didn't go home early.

Well, for now, I feel hungry and tired. I must take my dinner. bbyee

Useless Day

2007-10-15T23:04:00.000+08:00

We didn't have any discussion today. We just took our long test in TrigAna. Our long test in GenPsyc is rescheduled again. I had a boring day though. We attended a seminar that is supposedly entitled "Career Orientation" and yet it was so boring that it didn't catch my oh-so-rowdy attention. I was asleep for about a couple of minutes. Alive for a few. And I was answering some kind of a quiz booklet that my classmate brought. I really regret that I didn't bring my Bob Ong book with me to school or even just my Rubik's cube. If not for the quiz book that really dug up my mind, I would have had a bad temper for feeling so uneasy and unhappy about the sloppy orientation. I don't want to sound mean but there was this guy who was a board topnotcher in Engineering (a product of FEU-EAC of course) who didn't seem to have spoken English to anyone before. He spoke like Pacquiao there in front of all the freshmen at school. hahah. *-*

Right now, I am conditioning myself for a programming review for tomorrow's ADVPROG long quiz. But I've been conditioning myself for about an hour or two now. hahah. I am so not in the mood to study. But anyway, I still have to. So, bye for now.Cya.

Saturday the 13th

2007-10-13T23:11:00.000+08:00

Hahah. Great Saturday? Nah. Just wanted to write another blog entry here. I haven't updated my not-so-many blogs. Hahah. and I am soo much aware of it.

This morning was not much of an enjoyment to everyone in the section i01 of FEU-EAC. hahah. NSTP was very boring this morning. I hated our prof. hahah. He was so mean to us. T_T. But the good part there was when we were dismissed a lot earlier. So, what supposed to be a four-hour class became a 2 hour class with some sort of a break in between. hahah. I was expecting that we will not be doing anything that's the reason why I came to class late. But then, thinking that I would be one of the 'few' who used to be late, I was in fact early in that case. ohh. hahah. I didn't expect that the others were even later than me. hahah. What that even a legal word? Later? hahah. Never mind. There we had our plans for our Community Assessment next Saturday. We will be assigned to a Gawad Kalinga Site at Tatalon. And I don't even have any idea where that is located. We will be assisting teachers for the Sibol group of kids - well, that's what they call children ages three to six. And so that's where we are headed next Saturday. Oh yeah I almost forgot - Some representatives from our group will still come to the main office for further orientation and assessment on what we will be really doing the next NSTP meeting. So, there, we'll work there for 35 hours.

Seeting aside the NSTP thing, I still have lots of things to do for school. Particularly, in Trigonometry. hahah. What the?! We will have a long test on Monday and we still need to submit our assignment about the graphing thing.

Right now, I am talking to a classmate on my cell. hahah. I don't why I am bugged in this late hour of the day. hahah. Just kidding.hahah.

Waa. Too bad I'll be experiencing this school stuff torture while almost all of my friends are currently enjoying the benefit of the sembreak. awhh.. T_T I just would like to escape from everything even just for a day. hahah If I could only...

Well, good night for now. Till next time. :P

October the First

2007-10-01T23:09:00.000+08:00

Hello World! hahah. I've been gone for about a month. Well, a lot has happened to my busy life. I do not want to repeat the content of my blog entry in my Xanga site. hahah ^_^

Well, hello. It's another month and this will be the third week of classes for the Second Term. I've been expecting a lot. But then I guess, things will really come unpredictable. Well, I have strict professors. I do not like their teaching that much, I haven't favored anyone..not a single one of them. But I guess i'll be having the time to rate them as this term passes by. I know I'll be busy by this week, next week, and the other weeks to come so I am already preparing an entry here. hahah. I might not be posting here for awhile but then I'll keep this updated as long as I have to time and mood for this. hahah.

We are currently taking up table tennis in PEDUTWO this term and I am enjoying it so far. In fact, we will be playing again tomorrow. Too bad, I can't find my other racket, the one for beginner. aww. But good thing I bought a new one, the one with rubber. hahah ^_^

Well, right now, I am wanting to do a program that would convert degrees into degrees, minutes, and seconds. I already have something in mind but then I can't wait to put it in action and so may I do it now? As in right now? hahah.

Ok. bye for now. ^_^

PS: Oh yeah, it's Barbie's 17th birthday tomorrow! wee. Happy birthday my twin! ^_^. Praying for you, all the best and more blessings in your life. Always be happy. :D

September

2007-09-03T00:31:00.000+08:00

Oh how fast was that?! My last blog entry was dated August 10 and now it's already September 3 in the morning. Oh well, to catch up in updating things let me start and summarize whatever we had these couple of weeks ago. After the floods, we pushed through with our NSTP Agency Visit at PDEA and PHIVOCS. There were no classes again for about 3 days or more, I can't exactly remember. Then when we got back to regular classes, I was so surprised to hear the rescheduling of the final exams. Oh how terrible, they moved our exams a week later. T_T.. Our trimestral break will be about 5 days only. How sad.

Well, it's supposed to be Sunday today but I, with my brother, failed to attend church due to the requirements. I am not yet finished with my works but am glad that i've done something to lessen the cramming. Well, I woke up early in the morning to do the important things and now I am here, still up and awake doing more of those things. How tiring would this month be. I can't wait for the break anymore.

Speaking of the break, I really do not want to have it yet for the sake of my classmates and friends - nothing to do with the pressure, stress, and requirements. Days really passed by very very quick and I can't hold on a moment to think of what happened a few weeks ago. Well, I'll just be telling you about those if i have the time, soon maybe. September 7-11 would be our finals and after that trisembreak baby! yeah. ^_^

So, goodnight for now. oh good morning, sorry. bye

Busy

2007-08-10T20:03:00.000+08:00

I am currently taking my dinner while typing this blog entry. This week has been a really busy week for me. Though we had no classes for two days due to the heavy rains and typhoon. I am much blessed to have the break because I was so stressed, tired and all..

We were supposed to have a forum in P.E. last Wednesday (Aug. 8) before the really really heavy rains struck Philippines. There it came... Classes were suspended. Good thing I was not yet getting ready to go to school. My brother came back home and said that the whole campus of FEU had no classes. There, I was happy and all. But then, of course, I didn't want to miss anything. Or should I say anyone I guess.

So, there. As I was telling you, this week is really busy. My schedule is very full. I am finding it hard to have a quality time for myself. I can't do things that I really loved doing before. I can't even play the guitar as often as I like. And I hate it cuz it gets busier each day. T_T Ahww. I like the fact that our college life is so fast that I may graduate as soon as possible. I also like the idea of a tri-semester. But then, even if I try to manage my time, there's just about enough for everything...everything that is important. *sigh*

Today, I feel so restless. I feel like I had no vacation at all. I was experiencing back pains last night and the other night because of the activity we did in P.E. But then I guess it wasn't really the activity that made my back ache. It was my hyperactive spirit that caused me to jump around, bump in to chairs and anything, and have myself thrown on a mattress. wahahah. LOL. It was my fault i am quite aware of that. Good thing, I am feeling much better with my back now.

Tomorrow, my schedule would be only tutorials in Algebra for my former classmate. I heard that we would not be having NSTP class tomorrow and the general assembly for Web IT has been moved so I guess that's it for tomorrow.

Now, I'll be continuing my eating. thanks. bye

First School Day of the Week

2007-08-06T23:49:00.000+08:00

Well, it's first day of the week once a gain. It's actually the first Monday of this month. I could've realized it earlier that I was spending over one month with my classmates. I just feel like everything is happening so fast without me noticing how I surpassed them all and how I reflected on them. Experiences. Well yes experiences. This semester, I've experienced to have Math or specifically Algebra as my lowest mark among the subjects. Ohh. Good thing I still got in the quota of having a grade of atleast 2.5 per subject. Oh how I wish I could've done more effort and spent more time working on my failures. Lately these days, I just don't find the time to put the 'dilligence' or 'excellence' in my work. Well, maybe due to my very hectic schedule. Aside from classes, there are make-up classes, then there's the so-called General Assembly for school organizations, and other org meetings... Oh my. Good thing I have kept a calendar of activities with me. I am well aware on how forgetful I may become. And so, for a person like me it's really appropriate to have these stuff in hand.

Today has been a tiresome day. I arrived home at past 8 in the evening. We had a prayer meeting for YFC org. That was supposed to be from 5-7 p.m. but then it ended at almost 8 o'clock. I am thinking maybe the next time I'd be joining these prayer meetings I would leave earlier. Or, if I can't afford to show up and leave so sudden then most probably I would not attend at all. ^^, wee!

Now, I'm starting to feel the coldness of the night. I am currently wanting my bed so bad. I need rest after my 2-hour sleep. I already had consecutive head aches today and I don't want to add to it anymore.

So, that'd be better for now. See ya.

Empty Again and Again

2007-07-30T21:11:00.000+08:00

Oh how many times in a year do I have to feel this way??? I feel so so so very very empty. Waa..!!
I hate this feeling oh so much that I want to run away from it every now and then. But I always come to the conclusion that I cannot and I should not.

After my last post here I can't imagine how things went too fast. Everything seemed right the day after I had that lonely lonely lonely day and now I'm having that again...this time, it's much lonelier than I could have ever expected. T_T

Why does everything happen for a second and vanish the next. huhuh T_T I cannot understand how things had been going all my life. I guess history always repeats itself until we figure out the right reaction and attitude to situations that come in life. aww men.. I don't want to cry anymore. I don't want to shed more tears than I've done before. I just can't stop them now. Why.. o why...

Oh you want to know why I have been feeling this way?

I'm trapped between a promise and a goal. Between two that means so much much much to me. Aww. How could I ever make up my mind??

What a song?! Look at the lyrics:
(Ganyan-Proteinshake)

What A Day

2007-07-17T23:18:00.000+08:00

Oh men...
My day didn't turn out the way I was expecting it to be. I suddenly felt the feeling of emptiness and loneliness inside. I did not even and still do not know the reason - the main reason I guess.

College life. Okay, I'll inform you of some things that had happened for the past one month or so. We had lectures and stuff we use to do in school. Eating lunch with classmates. This time around, eating out would be the term. And there, we spent too much time together. For the past 2 weeks we've been seeing each other until 5 PM or so. We had practices for our midterm in ARTAPRE tomorrow. It' s a dance. It's called 'modernics'. Modernics.. It's a combination of modern and ethnic dance. Well, you could just imagine what we've done.... a modern tune accompanied by an ethnic (but not so ethnic) step. I went home at past eight in the evening because of that practice thing. I had to stay energetic for the dance. hahah. Good thing the rain stopped right after our practice and so I was able to go home safe and sound with no hassle (rain).

Oh.. How I miss the high school life. Even though I get to do a lot of things in college that I couldn't do in high school I still miss the idea of being in one common code. If you know what I mean, there are some things in high school which are irreplaceable. I think that's one thing that makes my day sad. I've been thinking lately of the things 'we' used to do together. I am missing them so much. Too bad I can't even communicate with all of them.

What a day. Really what a day.. oh my.. T_T
I can't explain myself.

Why does it have to be my friend. Why does it have to be someone so close to me.
It's really true that some things are better off unsaid.
Oh what a sad sad sad lonely lonely lonely day.

I could tell from the minute I woke up
It was going to be a lonely lonely
Lonely lonely day.
Rise and shine rub the sleep out of my eyes
And try to tell myself I can’t
Go back to bed
It’s gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day.
Even though the sun is shining down on me and I should feel about as happy as can be
I just got here and I already want to leave
It’s gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day

Everybody knows that something’s wrong
But nobody knows what’s going on
We all sing the same old song
When you want it all to go away
It’s shaping up to be a lonely day

I could tell from the minute I woke up it was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day.

First Day Funk

2007-06-04T18:39:00.000+08:00

Hey there. I was wrong with that thing I said in my earlier post. It wasn't our first day of class last June 1 but instead it had been moved today. So, there I go, I went to school (with my bro for this instance..). We rode the LRT then the jeepney and tada..! We're at school.

Well, my first day at FEU-EAC wasn't that stressful because we didn't even have lessons for today. Our professors in ENGCOM1, ALGEBRA, and VALUEED just introduced everything that is new to us. Fortunately, our professor in ICTFUND did not make it to class. And so, we got the time to manage our uniforms and roam around the campus. Oh men, that was really tiring because every now and then we had to climb up and down the stairs. We took the elevator for only about two to three times. I did not know what was up with my new classmates. They were so energetic and stuff. Oh well, I got to enjoy this day. I had a couple of friends in just a minute when I did not yet enter the room. There was this very jolly fellow named Jamie. I don't know if I got the spelling right but that's the normal way of spelling it, right? heheh. Well, she was the very first person there whom I heard talking and asking for each one's names. Through her, I got to know the names of the others. Well, let me mention some that I remember. There was the only guy who went with us who was Randy and then the girls.. Jamie, Lesca, Andrea, Kathrina, Regine, Gail and Barbie. Oh I had a great time with the people there. So far, out of the three professors we met this day, I am liking our Algebra professor. Our Values teacher is kind of a strict one but I'll be looking forward for more opportunities to get to know her better.

The clock finally struck four o'clock without me noticing it. I was busy listening. Hahah. Seriously. Well, that was just because that last subject was just an hour. When our first professor entered the room and an hour passed I was really hoping that time would fly. hahah. I was not used to 2-hour subjects. Oh, how worse could it be on Saturday..? I have NSTP for straight four hours. T_T... Then there it came, dismissal. hahah! Yeah baby! ^_^

We went to check for the uniform and there I was taken my measurements. ^_^ Then finally, now, I'm home! Oh what a day. hahah

Anticipating Adventures

2007-05-28T04:04:00.000+08:00

Wow, time really flies. It's already the 28th day of May in the year two thousand and seven. It's ate Marby's birthday! Good morning world! It's currently 4:17 AM in my computer's clock as I am currently typing this sentence.

Well, there's four more days to go and I'm off to college baby. ^_^ Every Friday my class starts from 7 in the morning and ends 4 in the afternoon. I am looking forward for new adventures as I start my college life. High school was a lot of stress for me and I don't want college to be the same as that. Though I know they say that this is a lot difficult than my former world, some also say that it's a lot more fun. I want to enjoy this four more years of my school days.

High school seemed to pass like a couple of years ago though it just ended two months ago. I am feeling the sadness of having to be apart with my friends but yet on the other side I am somewhat glad that I've finished a stage in my school life. I am eager to face new challenges, meet new people and become a part of the college community.

Well I guess I have no more to say for now. So ah, catch you up some other time. ^_^
