akong bisdak na "entry"

Mga higala, unsa man intawon ni akong multiply na site?  Ingon-ingon ko na bisdak ko, pero sus intawon, ga ininglis ko sa akong blog.  Unsa ang pulos sa pagsulat ug "akong mga litrato", "akong mga huna-huna", ug uban pa?  Pag-abot sa mga huna-huna nako, nawala na ang pagka-bisdak.  Di na pwede.  Maong karon, maghimo ko ug usa ka bisdak na "post".  Sa mga dili kasabot, pasensya na lang.  Sa mga kasabot, sige, basa pa dira.

Unsa man akong ika-ingon diri?  Hapit na usa ka tu-ig na naa ko diri sa lugar na gitawag nato na Manila.  Naa ko karon sa Ateneo de Manila University... skwelahan daw sa mga datu ug sosyal. Tinuod kaha ni?  Hayy... wa ko'y mabuhat karon.  Dapat gasulat ko sa akong analysis sa Lit pero gikapoy pa ko.  Akong roommate kay natulog.  Milagro!  Ako ang pinakadugay matulog karong adlawa.  Duha ra mi sa room karon.  Ako ra ang mata.  Unsa akong gibuhat?  Ga-type-type ko karon.  Guba akong mouse.  Ambot ngano naguba.  Nikalit lang ug guba.  Baho pa jud ang mouse pad na akong gipalit sa A-shop.  Na-unsa man mo A-shop uy?  Giatay na kinabuhi.

Wa pa ko naligo.  Wa pa nako gi-ayo akong laundry.  Daghan pa ko wa gibuhat.  Katok man ko uy.  Tapulan pa.  Astang maayo na estudyante.  Wa'y tarung.

Unsa na man ni akong gipangsulat diri?  Wa na ko kasabot!  Bahala na uy... basta lang naa ko'y bisaya na masulat sa akong blog.  Ti-aw mo ana?  Sige, mao lang na.  Maayong adlaw kanimo dira!

so little time, so much to do

Three weeks until the semester officially ends. Wish me luck as I embark on the end of the voyage of my first year in college.

*sigh!* I still have so many papers to attend to. Papers for Filipino, papers for English, papers for Literature.... argh! I hate papers! Then there's the group projects!

After the papers and group projects, there's the final exams... Exams I have to face: Ma21 (if by some twist of luck I get exempted, then good for me), Lit14, Ps2 (Physics lab... I hope our group has a high class standing... we might get exempted), and Ps1 (technically, it's just a long test). After the finals, there's the debut of Claudia I have to attend (and perhaps Pam's birthday party too! haha). Because of that debut, I have to wear a dress and heels (which I just dislike)! And I have to learn that piece she wanted me to play (that is if I can do it, given my limited skills).

April 1 - I go home. Relaxation time during break (sleep, sleep, sleep, hang out with friends, sleep, sleep, sleep). April 11 - I go back to Manila. Sembreak - I go home. Notice that I can't go home after summer classes? The way Ateneo organizes its schedule for registration is very sucky. They never consider the plight of provincial students. I would have quite a short break if I go home after summer class. So why bother? Air fare is expensive. I might as well stay in Manila during that time. Maybe I'll just be a part of prepcourse and orsem.

Anyway, March 31 is drawing near. Aside from it being the celebration of my roommate's debut, it will mark the one-year anniversary of my high school graduation. Ahh... the toll of time. I will forever miss high school. I'm sorry college, but I like high school more. I miss my friends, I miss my town, I miss my dog... Can't April 1 arrive faster?

My mouse is not working!  It just stopped working while I was using my computer.  Why is the world against me???

My, my, my... I've been blabbering on this post. Total lack of organization in this entry. Who cares? It's my blog! :P


I am so irresponsible. I should've been working on the papers I need to submit. Until next time folks!

S**t happens

My PC's motherboard is utterly destroyed.  If I replace it with a new motherboard, I have to buy new hardware (RAM, sound card, video card, etc.) for it, because the old motherboard is obsolete (my PC is secondhand).  The only thing I can salvage is the LAN card and perhaps the hard drive.  Somehow, having a new motherboard is like buying a brand new CPU (and the CPU is the most expensive part of the PC).

To Giant: It was nice spending time with you for a year.  You lived for almost 5 years with me and my brother.  I hope you enjoyed your time while it lasted.

My mother said that it is time to buy me a new laptop.  Although I like having a new laptop, I know buying it would cause a dent in our budget (which I don't like).  Of all the days to have your CPU destroyed.... It's so frustrating

Well, here I am typing away at a computer unit in Rizal Library...  I'd guess I'll be spending the next couple of days in the lib... typing away at my papers, surfing the net, and all.  Shit happens.  Why now?!

bored

I have nothing to do for today. Math long test is over, and things seem peaceful for this day (like a calm before another storm). So I just read the old entries in my brother's blog. It's somehow strange how one's thoughts change over the years. When you're an undergraduate student, your problem is finishing college. When you're a graduate, your problem is finding a job. When you have a job, you're thinking whether you'll pursue graduate studies or not. In my stage right now, what I'm thinking about is finishing college and maintaining my scholarship. Sooner or later, I will reach the other stages that my brother has experienced or is currently experiencing. This reminds me of the "My Story" that I read in the January issue of Reader's Digest. I could somehow relate with what the author is experiencing.

Anyway, I'm just bored today and that's why I'm writing this post. It's Thursday today... a few hours later, it will be Friday. The hands of the clock never stops moving. It's sad. It's depressing.

the outcome

The end of Single's Awareness Day a.k.a. as Valentine's Day is near.  Sadly, few have only heeded my proposal.  A good thing is that I saw some people wearing white (though I don't know if they are wearing the color on purpose).  However, I am still not giving up on my Utopian society.  Slowly but surely, my followers will increase.  So far, only Derrick has totally agreed with my modest proposal.  I will make sure that in the following years, my idea will catch on with the public. 

For the meantime, I will face math.

Viva Single's Awareness Day!

a product of procrastination:

Valentine's Day or Single's Awareness Day is fast approaching. To make my proposal come true (please refer to previous entry), I suggest that the idea of Valentine's Day should be scrapped, and I propose that Single's Awareness Day should be the only event celebrated on February 14 (aside from birthdays, anniversaries, and the like). With the joy and awareness of being single, people will no longer consider a relationship that concerns having children. Everyone will live life to the fullest without having any younger person to think of. It would be such a hassle to have kids, and Single's Awareness Day might give the people the chance to realize this important fact. Consequently, the people will decide to stay single and not have kids. What about those who yearn to be in a close relationship with someone, and where that someone is capable of procreating with them? I still do not have any plans on how to address those people. But in due time, I will come up with something. So far, the only idea I have come up is that those people should not reproduce. If they want to do recreational activities, then they should do so with the necessary precautions.

Anyway, the idea of implementing Single's Awareness Day as the only event for February 14 is only a step in realizing my dream of a Utopian society. I believe there will come a time when there won't be a future generation, and we will have all the resources to ourselves. Then we would no longer have to worry on how we will save the earth because we are the only ones left in earth. Screw the environmentalists! They are only delaying the ticking time bomb of the earth's destruction. That day of destruction will come, whether we like it or not. We might as well hasten that day's coming. And for the meantime, only WE should enjoy all the benefits of the earth to ourselves.
