wake me up when semester ends

September is coming to an end.  Because of all the school work that needs to be done, I forgot that my hometown is celebrating its fiesta.  But the worst thing that happened... I only remembered just yesterday that my parent's wedding anniversary already elapsed (by one week) and I did not greet them (I completely forgot!).  I did not realize how stressing school can be until now.  Before, I never forgot special dates.  I always greeted people.  But when you just look at the page of your planner with your to-do list, you tend to forget and ignore those special events because of all the pressing work that needs to be accomplished.  Still, forgetting birthdays and anniversaries is unforgivable.

Third accounting long test over.  I hope the outcome will be good =/  I feel that I won't fail.

Next week: Chinese orals, Chinese written finals, Sci10 long test, Ma22 long test, submission of Sci10 project, submission of Chinese paper.  Bring it on!

About two more weeks left.  When will it be over???  Please just end!!!

Theo quotes

Amusing lines from my Theo professor:

• Why do you call it "hell week"?  Hell is the absence of God.  I cannot imagine why you would call a week that maximizes your potential as hell.  You don't even know what hell is.
• You don't call your mother as a "channel of my birth" (in reference to Jonathan suggesting that Mary be called "channel of Jesus' birth").
• When people talk about sin, they only think of it in terms of the flesh (like sex).  Sin is the refusal to love.

So far, yun pa ang maalala ko.  Hahaha

May We Live Long and Die Out

Several months has passed since I conceived my modest proposal.  Unfortunately, people are not taking notice of it.  Chance has it that while I was surfing the net, I stumbled upon the website for The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT).  They live by the motto of "May we live long and die out".  At last!  I am not alone in my main proposition that we should stop procreating.

note:  I am not really serious with my modest proposal.  I was just pointing out that humans should be environmentally conscious.  I find it amusing that VHEMT really exists.  Although I might consider being part of VHEMT (by not procreating... but I won't enforce my ideas upon others) XD

frustrating

Today, I had my Theo orals and I got the results of my Math midterms.  We had a quiz in Accounting class which I know I flunked because my brain was not in its right state of mind due to studying Theo. 

When I first saw my score in Math midterms, it was 155/200.  I looked it over, and later, I had my teacher re-check it.  Tada!  My score is now 177/200.  He did not give me full credits on one number because I did not prove an inequality (it was about convergence/divergence).  I lost 7 points because of that number.  And sad thing is, I know that I did that number right (except I just didn't prove the inequality because I was in a hurry).  And I had some careless mistakes.  Grr.  Now I know that I will have to take the math finals.  I'm worried that my teacher might make the same mistakes he did in checking the midterms (by not being careful when checking).  And I won't be there to correct the mistakes.  Hassle.    And he did not recheck my long test 1!  I had to remind him to recheck it.  I'm worried that my grade in Math will be affected because of carelessness not only on the part of the student, but on the teacher as well. 

Theo orals went okay for me.  I can't say it went great.  There were some dead airs during my part.  But my teacher did not say anything.  Is that supposed to be good?  Because she mentioned that she'll talk when we are lost or we said something wrong.  I hope I have a fair grade in the orals.  I really do.

I think I'm going to have my lowest QPI this semester.  I just hope and pray it will be greater than 2.50 (my scholarship's grade requirement).

last push

One more month.  I can't wait for sembreak to arrive.

Konting tiis na lang.

Then I go home.

CERSA Open House

disclaimer: I did not write this promotional thing about Open House

"Is Eman Monfort's bed as long as Nonoy Baclao's bed?  How does Jobe Nkemakolam maintain his corner in order?  Does Dr. Yotoko still keep a medicine cabinet in her bedroom?

See for yourself.  Come to the Residence Halls' Open House 2007. Organized by Cervini-Eliazo Resident Students Association (CERSA), this year's open house entitled "Festivale: Enjoy, Indulge, Experience" will have carnival rides (caterpillar, ferris wheel and octopus) and food stalls.

From 9am till 5pm, Cervini Hall will open on Thursday, 13 Sep 2007, while Eliazo Hall will open on Friday, 14 Sep 2007.  Upon registration at the lobby, make sure you are given food stubs for free snacks and/or for OH Lunch for only P20.00 at Cervini Caf.  Pool use will also be free!

It's the time of the year when resident students get to invite their friends, classmates, teachers and Ateneo staff into their rooms and halls.  Bisita na!"


Can anyone suggest a freak for our room?  The theme for the second floor is "freak show", and each room needs to have its own freak theme.  Suggestions already given: brainless geniuses, same pose girl, bearded lady... yun pa.  Haha

grapes, seedless

I had a weird dream/series of dreams last night/morning.  But I found it so amusing.

The three events that I remembered were the following (in no particular order):

1. I bought seedless grapes.  The grapes that from Rustan's have labels like "Crimson seedless" or "Flaming Red seedless".  However, the label of the grapes that I bought were just "grapes seedless".  It didn't specify what kind of grape it was.  And I think I was wondering in my dream on why the label just said that.
   
2. Bien and Ferdie.  haha.  They were already in a relationship in my dream.  I was with Claudia and Chase when they were walking towards us.  And Ferdie was holding Bien in a way that a male gentleman escorts a lady.  anlabo.  haha
3. Ateneo lost to La Salle.  That's all I can remember.
   

Oddly, the seedless grapes thing is the one I can remember the most.  When I told Bien (and she told Claudia) about my dream, they said that I had such a strange dream and they laughed about it.  Claudia was like, "what the heck?! seedless grapes?"

Just so you know, I bought seedless grapes this afternoon at Rustan's ("crimson seedless").  And Ateneo won over La Salle with a score of 89-87 (which proves my dream can't predict!).

Do You Find Yourself in the Right Course?

During the early part of the semester, I remember the guidance counselor asking me if I felt that I was in the right course.  I replied in the affirmative and I added that I do not know where else to shift if I do get kicked out of ME.  Perhaps at this moment in time, I would tell him that I do not know how I'll answer his question.  Mariel kasi!  Our conversation a while ago got me thinking about what course is right for me (I'm leaning towards Physics or Math... but I don't want to end up as part of the academe!  Kaya ME muna... hehe).  As for Mariel, she said she sometimes thinks of studying medicine (reminds me of Chu... sayang pa naman dahil pumasa siya sa INTARMED).  I remember Richie telling me that he also wanted to go for medicine (but he's still in ME).  My point?  We've already chosen the roads we're going to take.  And I guess at times we are questioning our choices.  But we've made them already.  We have to keep on going. 

"I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference"

And we'll sigh for either two reasons: because of the choice that we made or because of the choice that we didn't make (and which leads us to always wonder on what would've been).


Sheesh!  What an accounting long test does to you after!!!  Napa-blog tuloy ako sa aking mga pagmumuni-muni.  I know I can handle accounting, but I just don't feel the subject is right for me (but I am trying to love it) :/

kasabawan before long test

Note: sing to the tune of "Happiness"

Happines is passing accounting
