Almost New Year

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

It’s almost New Year and I figured I needed to make one last entry for the year.
.
Honey and Clover
.
Actually, what made me write this entry was a really inspiring anime, hehehe, its called Honey and Clover. It’s a "slice of life" genre anime, it has no plot, to story just college students living their lives. It’s one of the cheesiest animes I’ve ever watched but I liked it a lot.
.
It’s very funny too. No single anime has made me laugh out loud so much. It’s cool the way things are so serious and then somebody suddenly does something stupid to lighten the mood.
.
The animation is also very very very VERY good! Yeah! usually animation gets a little dull after the first season, (like bleach, more like bleh!) but the animation on this one is just soo great, the details the scenery and especially the characters. I usually judge the anime by it’s animation and cinematography, I don’t watch ones that aren’t kawaii, unless of course it has had a lot of positive reviews (like bleach again)
.

Not to mention the cool music with the great lyrics. I wish I could have a CD of that, even if its Japanese and even if I don’t understand the lyrics without the subtitles I still  like the music.
.
The anime has a lot of unrequited love though, actually maybe a bit too much. And it usually revolves around that. But aside fromt hat it also has the common stories that every person goes thorugh, trying to find yourself amidst the hustle and bustle of life, surviving through poverty, disappointments and of course.. love.
.
I like the way that things are viewed in sort of a haze when things get serious, almost as if the animators are protecting you from the cheesiness of the scene. Hehe.
.
Back to Reality
.

WEll after a long looong vacation, I’m finally starting to do some "real" school work, since tommorow’s the deadline for ChE 135. I still have to write ChE 140 and make a presentation though.
.
I’m making a lot of progress though, and I’ll probably make more progress once I finish watching honey and Clover. Hehehe every episode makes me want to watch the next one.
.
New Celebration!
.

Since I applied for unlimitext I basically greeted evry globe user in my phonebook! hehehe
.
It might sound childish but I’m always excited about New Year, basically it’s the only family based event that I’m excited about these days. Well maybe because there aren’t many family events to choose from.
.
I really like that all my cousins and I are very close though. We used to always go out, me and my cousins. We’d go to theme parks after Christmas, sing during New Year, go to tons of resorts during summer and back when most of the older cousins we’re getting married and having babies, we’d always be at weddings and baptismals and birthday parties.
.
Unfortunately, most of the older cousins have their own lives now. I remember back when I was in elementary, most of the family would be present during New year. But now, the only the ones that come are those who live close by.
.
It’s still fun, though. I guess now it’s my turn to be "the older cousin" or maybe the tita, cause I have so many nephews (yeah I have tons of nephews). And maybe one day the younger ones would miss what we do today like I miss what we used to do.
.
I hate New year because it’s so nostalgic. It reminds you of the things past and makes you sad about it, but it also reminds you of the good things yet to come. It’s good and bad at the same time, but people still celebrate it.
.
SOmetimes I wonder if everybody else’s New Year is like mine. Everytime I’d strike up a conversation about New Year and how fun it is in my family, the subject changes. I wonder why. Or maybe I’m just too over enthusiastic about it.
.
Well, i’m all psyched up to write that abstract for 135, hehehe. It was kinda nice writing another entry. ^_^
.
Happy New year everyone!!

Yeh ye!

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

I’m not really in the mood to post these days, even if there is a lot happening.
.
Although since I’m here I guess i’ll write a few words.
.
Read/ WAtch Death Note!!!  Nyahahhaah I am soo Addicted!!! Although I’ve already finished the manga I’m still waiting for the producers to finish the Anime so Ican watch it whole.
.
It’s a story about a high school who finds a notebook called the death note. As long as the writer knows the name face of a person, he can easily write that person’s name down on the notebook and after 40 seconds that person dies of a heart attack.
.
Creepy, kinda like Girl from Hell.
.
Actually I refrained from watching Girl from Hell because it was too dark for me, now I’m just curious. That’s because Death note is so dark that I though if I could bear it then maybe Ic ould bear Girl from Hell.
.
Anyway death note is not like Bleach or Naruto, it’s more of a thinking manga. You read as the protagonist (well he’s not really a protagonist per se but you get my drift) tries to outsmart the people chasing him.
.
What I like about this anime is that there is no other storyline that can be replaced for this type of anime. Unless of ocurse you’d want to be repetitive you can go to ana nime like Detective conan . but if oyu really want a thinking anime, I guess there’s no choice but to hunt a Killer with supernatural powers.
.
It’s really cool because only the killer has the supernatural powers (e.g. the notebook) The only defense that the hunter has is that his name and face are unknown to the killer.
.
Although I never really liked the ending. but I guess there can’t be a more appropriate ending without sounding too dark or too corny. I guess I only accepted the ending because there is no other acceptable ending.

I guess I got carried away there. Hehehe it’s really a great anime/manga!The animation ont he first episode (the only episode I’ve watched) is cool too and the "hero" is so KAWAIII!!!! nyahahah
.
Hmm I learned to make leche flan today. And whaddaya know it’s very easy to make!!1 Although there are a lot of controlled conditions you must do yada yada yada.
.
But I was able to make 4 perfect pans and two not so good ones hehehe. The not so good ones were the first batch and I kinda learned that you can’t make the ambient temperature too hot or else the batter boils and you end up with spongy flan.

.
I made up with a friend the other day! Whoohoo after months of not talking we’re finally good. Actually it had most to do with both our stubborness, but thanks to the season well we finally made up yay!
.
What else, I guess that’s it. hmmmm Oh yeah! my sister just got home from Japan! Whoohoo Ic an’t wait for the chocolates. Heheheh but it’s too late in the night and my neice is already asleep so the chocolates won’t be opened until she wakes up. (dang!)
.
hehehe
.
What else… Uhm yeah I’m afraid this New Year would be a little glum for me this year. Usually my uncle would buy fireworks that are pretty much the expensive type. You know the ones that go for 500 a pop. And I mean 500 pesos per boom! Yeah! But since my cousin has had to have chemotherapy, they had to put the money to that.
.
Personally I’d rather m,y cousin lived than get to see fireworks this year. But despite the lack oflights I think we’ll be renting a Videoke MAchine instead!! (Hah!!) And everyone’s probably gonna pitch in for that. hehehe So I guess this New year would be different but not bad.
.
Well I gotta go to sleep! hafta wake up for Simbang Gabi!! Which is warm this year because finally our Barkada is complete! Last year kasi one of my girl-friends was overseas!!

I think we all have moments when we feel so downtrodden and hopeless; when we feel like the littlest thing might make us break into peices. So, depressed as we are, we remain so because we’re waiting for that one thing that’d make us break. Then a few days later, we find that we’ve endured the worst during that period of hopelessness and still remained intact.
.
The world turns even if your world stops. It feels hopeless now but we all move on eventually, some faster than others but everyone does.
.
I wonder when I will though.

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Hahaha eng’g week’s in the air and sure as it was eng’g week, I was bound to do something I’ve never done before. Last eng’g week it was sing in a chorale group, and this eng’g week it was run (well more like walk) a marathon!
.
I together with 5 11 other orgmates tried the Diliman marathon. Girls were required to run the hwole academic oval, which is 2.5 kM if I’m not mistaken. Anyway we were participating because we wanted the participation points for EWOC, nothing more.
.
Well we didn’t go as far as hope that we’d win ‘coz the other participants really looked like they run the oval everyday. So we just enjoyed the UP scenery and even bought ourselves matching pins.

.

.

Well at least I lost maybe about 200 calories on that walk, and we had fun talking while walking. Sorry to sheng! hehehe peace tau I forgot tlaga na may walking schedule tayo kaninang hapon. churi churi!

 

dreams part 2

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Well if you read my previous post, you’ll know what I’m tlaking about.
.
I had a very similar dream last night, with the same characters but in a different setting. Like before, I can’t talk about the characters, although one of them is absolutely me.
.
Anyway, this dream was set in my old high school, at the quadrangle with chairs laid out like it was graduation practice. And like the previous dream, this too is still vivid.
.
Creepy

dreams

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

I had this dream last night and I can’t seem to get over it somehow. I don’t know why but this dream is different from the other dreams I’ve had.
.
You know how, when you wake up, the moments and the events from your dreams seem to escape your memory one by one until finally there’s only the general feeling of the dream left? Well this dream didn’t fade at all from my mind, well maybe a little. It ’s still vivid how I got to that point and what happened, even the emotions I felt all through out the dream are still vividly etched in my mind.
.
I never really believed in dream interpretations, maybe that dreams are the voice of the subconcious, but never predictions.
.
But this dream was really weird to the point of being creepy. The weird thing really was the setting, it’s a place I know but not I place I usually go to, it’s a place that is near to me but not a place that I would usually hang out in, its the place that makes it creepy.
.
Well maybe Ic an describe the place. I’m trying to avoid the event because it’s kinda private, but the place is somewhere near my house.
.
You see near my house is a creek, but the water’s all polluted and it’s all black. That’s the creepy part creepy eeww or weird.
.
So I looked up a dream interpretation dictionary over the net (naks!) and it says this .

WATER - Water usually denotes your
          flowing feelings or ability to responds. It can thus be emotions,
          desires, moods, depending how the water appears in the dream.

       
       

If it is muddy it means your feelings are influenced by outer
          circumstances, worries, material problems, or values.

       
       

If clear and sparkling it symbolises faith, fearlessness, purity of
          feeling, hope and joy.

       
       

Water takes the form of any vessel that contains it. So it
          represents your ability to be influenced either by fears, force,
          understanding or ignorance, love or duty, and so on. This is important
          as it means your anxieties direct the torrent or energy called
          emotion. As emotions can heal or kill this is something that needs
          care.

.

creepy.

Adventures?

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

15 minutes ago I had this about 800 word entry coming on and then poof, it became koko crunch! NO seriously, my firefox had an error and my entry went AWOL. So I guess you guys are stuck with this (most likely) shorter entry).
.
Since I’m not really into the writing bid now, I dunno what else to write except this song, which I’d really really want to have a CD of. It’s formt he band Menaya, which was a guest band at last Friday’s Jameng’g. It really surprises me that I like their songs.
.

Anyway, speaking of Jameng’g, congratulations to Batteries not Included for winning 3rd place! Although I have a feeling the guys wanted a higher spot.
.

Tommorow is my MS1 exam, I do hope I’ll do well, although I’ve onlys tudied half of the readings until now.

Speaking of exam I hope my ES 11 exam went well, at least I’m hoping for a pass. As for my 123 exam, let’s just say I’ll make it my New Year’s Resolution to study for that subject.
.
This entry is just a load of crap! waaaaaa

That’s it for now, hehehe.

hello I’m back!

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Sigh* I miss my blog, I haven’t been here in a while, and that means more than a week… I think.
.
*dusts off the cobwebs*
.
Well after a long sabbatical, I guess my head’s just full of ideas that I am not able to supress it anymore. And so here I am writing. But unfortunately, due to the vast amounts of ideas flowing from my brains to the keyboard and consequently to this entry and the fact that I can only write so fast, I might not be able to put into writing everything that I’ve been thinking about because while writing something, I might get so caught up in that idea that I’ll end up forgetting my other ideas… which is happening now.
.
1st Idea hail Reming!
.
That typhoon couldn’ve arrived at any better moment, at least I got to sleep more than 6 hours for three days, whew! And I got to gather my thoguhts on what actions to take next regarding ChE 140 and ChE 135.
.
ChE 140
.
thanks to the famous Sir Muñoz and the vast array of companies that refuse to let me visit their plants I am now down to the last molecule of nails because the nervousness that ChE 140 produces, makes me nailbite while I’m asleep. Well maybe not the last molecules, but I have enough research material, I’ve even looked at U.S., Canadian and Philippine Patents for the processes, unfortunately, a plant visit is required. And the plant owners, managers or what-not, just refuse to let me do so. What am I gonna do!?!?!?!?!
.
ChE 135
.
Thank goodness the deadline’s been moved, if not I would’ve spent the whole of the long weekend thinking how the hell was I going to contact my formal report partner because the previous deadline was last night. (Although I found out last night that I did have a copy of  my partner’s number in my cellphone, I just made a mistake with his uhm… name)

The new deadline is December 31, whoohooo homework with fireworks, yum!
.
PI 100
.
Too many appers to mention, there should’ve been four due on the 7th of December, but thank god she moved the deadline of two papers to the 14th and theother two on January 4.
.
ES 11
.
Just finished the exam this evening… and no comment.
.
Worst News… Maybe
.
*sigh* i was depending on his pagka-torpe, unfortunately it wasn’t very dependable.. *tears* may GF na si super crush since 1st year high school! I just found out from my cousin that super mega crush since 1st year high school (who is my childhood friend) and another childhood friend just hooked up last month. The no good %#@54 %$#@%43…. Hehehe nah I’m not that shallow… at least I hope I’m not. I’m truly hoping for their happiness… Yes I am!… I am? Bwahahaha (evil laugh)
.
Well all good things come to an end I guess. And here I was hoping he’d stay single until I summon enough courage to tell him i like him. Oh well life’s like that I guess
.
Good news!
.
WEll if there’re bad news, there must be some good news right?!
.
I love Crumpy
.
If crumpy was a guy I’d marry him, unfortunately its this hazelnut-choco sandwich spread that I turn into a skyflakes dip. It’s better than chocolate I tell ya! I jsut bought two jars! Nyahahahah
.
Bought a new Cellphone
.
I bought it last week but only got the chance to post it here. Just a Motorola L6, ilike it because I can connect it to my PC. Yay!
.
New Shoes
.
Of course new shoes is a good news for any self respecting woman.
.
I watched Finding Nemo last night
.
Yeah and it’s as good as ever. But it was kinda creepy when this morning, my Marine Science professor was discussing the coriolis effect when currents came into the discussion and he pointed out the east Australian current and asked if we remembered Nemo… creepy.
.
Leche Flan!
.
I go tmy cousin to makeme some yum.
.
.
Well that’s all I guess. Well, looking back, It hink most of my good news is uhm… food, maybe that’s the reason why, to quote a friend "namamaga" ako. Nyahahaha, but to quote yet another friend, "di bale nang mataba basta masaya", yeah motto ng mga matataba yan!
.
I guess that’s all.
.
Oh yeah I forgot, I finished watching magic knight rayearth, and Tsubasa Chronicles Season 2 now I don’t have an anime to watch, except maybe bleach, but the episodes only come out once a week. Gimme an anime!!!
