So hirap

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

     Well, the department seminar has ended, and the bane of my summer has finally ceased to exist, at least until next year. I do hope things improve next year, or someday. *Sigh, sometimes, no matter how civil and professional you try to be, some (not all mind you) people tend to act like brainless monkeys.

     Although that phase is over, it seems it is only part of my semestral burden. Apparently I overdid the application bit. Actually if I didn’t stop myself soon enough, I would have joined every possible activity known to the Chemical Engineering Department, fortunately, I had the mind not to.

     Bad thing is, those are only applications, so I’m expecting even more work in the coming weeks… I wonder if I’ll be able to survive this semester, at the rate I’m going I might have either a nervous breakdown or be hospitalized for over-fatigue. Well its an exaggeration but thinking of the amount of work I have to do gives me vertigo.

     Actually, I need to finish something right now, i’m just procrastinating. And I find that writing in my blog prepares my fingers, and my brain for the more tedious chore of writing articles. Well at least I get paid, no matter how little.

     As always I am underemployed, although technically I shouldn’t be employed yet, but no matter how small, in this tiime and state, any amount of money earning job is good, especially if you’re a student.

     I really wanted to write a story, I’ve never written a story before I took creative writing 10 back in second year, and I find that its very, well comforting, that you get to construct your own world. What’s frustrating is your making your own world so that other people woll like it. Thats the part that I hate about writing, people won’t just be satisfied that they read your work they’ll even make comments, harsh comments.

     I really like this line in the Disney cartoon Bambi, "If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all". Although I don’t really follow this, its still a good rule of thumb when it comes to actual human feelingd dontcha think?

     I dunno why I suddenly segued into that but what the heck, it’s my blog!

     Well I’m running about things to write, and my eyes are starting to droop. So its time for my second mug of coffee for the night and time to end this entry. ciao!

UP ALCHEMES da BEST

Wheeeeeeee

Before anything else, I would just like to say Academics my big friggin ASSSS!

Now that I got that out of my system, wheeeeeeeeeeeee! I finally got the free time, or rather the procrastinate-time to once again add to the bulk mail of my friends with an e-mail that I’ve updated my friendster blog!

After eons, millennia and centuries, I’ve finally found the time, and driving force  to update my tadaaaaan BLOG!!!!!

And I’m out of words to say.

Well as my blog always go, I whine! Yehey!

I finally finished the first research paper that I’m supposed to write, after a sleepless night I might add. And there was trouble with the file so I ended up resending it a few hours ago instead, haaay. Well I’m gonna talk about what the job’s like. It’s like you do research work for some ghost kid somewhere out there and get paid money, sorta like Recto but with cheaper pay and better output yah-know?

Well I needed the cash so there I was falling for another low paying part time job, at least I can do it at home. I’m soooo poor! Well I’ll need enough cash to buy me a laptop. I’m saving up for one ^_^ I do hope I can buy one soon.

Oh and can you believe it I’m actually proofreading this thing?

Anyway UPDATES UPDATES.

I am hooked on Anime… again. Well it’s Gherick’s fault, he let me borrow his CDs so now I’m hooked again. I practically schedule my online hours to check if there are Bleach anime and Manga updates. Well maybe I should be glad that I’m only hooked to one anime.

Well not exactly one, I’m download-hooked on one anime, but I like guard three anime schedules on Animax, Tsubasa Chronicles, which is potentially addictive, God Save our King and Detective Conan (Kawaii!!) Right now I have all the available manga and anime of Tsubasa Chronicles, and it’s still unfinished, so you can say I’m hooked on it too.

Oh yeah I took the EIC exam for PURGED (The UP ALCHEMES official publication) and the Reactor (The Chemical Engineering Department official publication). I really don’t know why I did it, in the first place I’m not EIC material. All I can say is, PEER PRESSURE!!!!

Anyway after next week I’ll probably be able to breathe a lot easier, because after Dept sem ends I’ll finally be able to go back to my happy go lucky days. I surely miss the intelligent conversation of the tambayan, which I haven’t gone to visiting as much as I want to because of certain pressing matters that I’ve had to attend to the past few days.

So I guess this is the time to document the hardships that I had to go through this semester. You see just when I thought that my enrollment experience couldn’t get any worse, it just did this semester.

So I was y’know all finished with the crying-crying and self pity bit of finding out that I’m gonna be delayed in graduating, and here goes sir Mau (yeah we have the same nick xcept his name’s Maurice not Maureen) telling me that I should try and get a waiver. Ako naman tanga, ayun nakinig, edi go nilakad ang waiver.

Miracle was, hahaha I waived ChE 153 to get ChE 122! So galing! Anyway I think those two days of walking around UP looking for Sir Manuel and Ma’am Rollon everywhere gave me  bit of an exercise. Not to mention emptied my pockets because I had to constantly buy myself a few drinks or else I’ll overheat.

What else happened? Well we went to Cho-Kiss on the first day, me Arlene and Michelle, but the tradition’s broken cuz there weren’t any freshmen. Oh well that’s their loss.

Anyway, I’m beat. Sorry if there aren’t any heart warming tear-jerking moments, I got over those a long time ago and I’m not looking for anymore, deal or no deal! (hahaha precious talaga yang line na yan!)

Basta I’m happy to know that I’m a better person because of everything that’s happened, well better than most, hehehe.

listening to yourself

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

Hearing your voice from afar, I’ve never experienced it before, well at least until a few minutes ago, while the song Spoliarium was cascading from my speakers. I really liked that song, it’s my favorite sort of grunge song. I liked it from the sticker happy cassette that my sister has, since about second year high school. And when the chorus started I started to open my moth to sing.

But the sound that came out was something that I didn’t recognize. It was as if I was opening my mouth and nothing was coming out. I looked around to see who was singing with the speakers, but then I came to realize that it was me.

It was really creepy to hear that my voice sounded so unlike my voice at all.

Maybe I’m just tired, too tired perhaps.
