Time Management

Wow! more than 2 months na pala ako hindi nagpopost. I imported a new layout as you can see. ang cute lang nya. actually mas ok kung abstract na lang. pero naaliw kasi ako dun sa mga bilog. :D

In other news, NS-13 has arrived! 12 days ago. :D one of the biggest update in Kingdom of Loathing has arrived. With 300+ new items, hundreds of new monsters, and a million reason to laugh. actually sobrang laki ng pinagbago nya ngayon. mas balanse na ang mga players. kahit hindi ka donor e kaya mo na magcompete sa mga donors. which makes it more interesting to play. :D

Meanwhile, in my real life, so many things have changed this semester. I felt more responsible. I can feel na I control my life na. dati kasi parang "lost" ako. super challenging ng sem na to and at the same time masaya. (eventhough medyo nagiinarte and bespren ko dahil sa crop circle :P) masaya kasi graduating na ko hihihi. tapos may design subject ako na masaya at meron akong masayang thesis topic. :D actually katatapos ko lang itype yung outline ko kanina. mga 10 hours din ako nagtype. heheh i really should stop playing. sobrang hindi sa akin ang time ko this sem. kakainin ng adviser ko at ng mga partners ko sa design at ni sir rex and time ko. i barely have 4 - 5 hours of sleep. i cant even finish Good Omens by Neil Gaiman. buti na lang may mga kaibigan ako at mga masisipag na groupmates at sobrang bait na mga instructors at sobrang maalagain na advisers (teka ubos na straw ko kakasipsip :D) ayun, as the title implies, the key to finishing this sem is time management. and of course without "me" there's no time management. :D have a good day!

The End is the Beginning is the End

yey! tapos naang sem! i can't believe na kaya ko pala magpaka-aik sa pag-aaral. though it was very tiring and time consuming, kung meron ka namang kadamay sa mga oras na yun nagiging masaya sya. oo nasayang ang most ng mga weekends ko sa mga meetings at kung ano anong academic activities pero i dont think na maipagpapalit ko yun sa kung ano man ang binalak kong gawin kung wala yun. sobrang fulfilling pag nakikita mo yung resulta ng paghihirap mo. :D di nga ako makapaniwala na nakaperfect pa ko sa isang exam na inakala kong pinakamababa ko. sobrang saya at hirap pala maging diligent. sana noon ko pa to ginawa. :D sana lang payagan pa ako ng university na tapusin ko yung course ko. isang sem na lang. kaya ko to. :D

To Skewed Peeps: oi yung tshirt

To H5 peeps: mga tolsk salamat sa kuryente at mga pc at mga kung ano anong bagay. eventhough lagi nyo kong inabadtrip sa mga "hugutin" text nyo ok parin kayo. :D

To ChE165 groupmates: sensya na kung mataray yung text ko nung sunday. wala kasi kaming pera pangprint hehe

To Ria: aking driver, salamat sa lahat ha? hmmmm alam mo na yun kung ano-ano yun lagi na nating pinaguusapan yun e. salamat sa oras at kung ano anong bagay. :D basta kinontrata na kita sa plant design ha. :D *pokemon face*

To Kimchie: mew!

ToMiming: salamat sa suporta *hug* kahit medyo tulog ako pag gising ka at sobrang active ako pag naglalaway ka sa higaan mo. >.< thank you! i love you!

Salamat sa inyo! :D

Recollecting

The storm after the calm has passed. it's been two days now since we faced teh ultimate test in che165. we reported our topic about perforated plate column design to our instructor/department head Prof Rex Demafelis. all of us were very scared, excited, and worried before we reported. na-OOC kami kasi di kami sure kung mapapansin ba ni sir yung calculations namin tapos ano ba yung mga itatanong nya. sobrang nakakakaba. pero ayun, it started. it started smoothly until nung sinabi ni Serge na yung supposedly plate spacing e naging plate thickness. dun na nagsimula yung barrage of questions ni sir. pero nasagot at naayos naman kagad namin. after him Ria reported and madaming tinanong si sir na di naman part ni ria pero since lahat kami ay alam namin lahat ng topics, kahit sino ang tanungin ni sir sa amin about the report masasagot ng kahit sino sa amin. :D actually na-appreciate ko talaga mga groupmates ko nung time na yun. nung una iniisip ko na kung kami lang nina ria ang OC tapos maayos nga yung part namin, baka ang humila sa amin is yung iba naming groupmates. pero nagkamali ako. :D we reported individually but we answered as a group. nakakatuwa yung synergy naming lahat. as compared to other groups, pag sinabi ni sir na help him/her lahat kami ay naguunahan para tulungan yung groupmate namin. sobrang naging smooth flowing yung report kahit ang daming tanong si sir. wala na nga syang nagawa kungdi magtanong at tumango. and the best part is yet to come. nung sa calculations na halos di kami makahinga sa sobrang kaba pag nagtatanong si sir. pero ok naman pag nasagot namin para kaming binubunutan ng malaking tinik sa lalamunan sa tuwing nasasagot namin ang mga tanong ni sir. and at the end i was just so happy na natapos na kami pero what made my day/week/ and even my sem was sir's comment... "Hmmm Good! I liked your report, very well said and done. Nacapture nyo yung attention ng class kahit umabot tayo ng 2 hours." kahit may mga complications pa ng konti yung calculations ok na yun! what matters is that kami ang kaisa-isang group na sinabihan ni sir rex nun. :D ang sarap ng feeling.. lahat kami sa group high na high nung gabing yun. :D

On the Seventh day

God made it so that we can rest. :D al long last tapos na din ang powerpoint at calculation namin sa Perforated plate column!! hayyy... I'm so happy >.< Tomorrow is teh hell week na :D

On the Sixth day

I spent the whole day staring at Ria's laptop and made a finished a 104 slide powerpoint presentation. plus hindi pa nailalagay yung calculatios. so all in all baka umabot ng 200+ yun. masaya naman kasama yung mga groupmates ko kasi active sil pero sobrang nakakapagod lang talaga. :D 8 days till Armageddon. I cant wait! I want to get this over with! ciao ciao Im off to my HE design :D

Dilemma!

OMG! I suddenly woke up this morning because I realized that on monday we will have an exam in ChE 142 at 7pm. I also have a Perforated Plate Distillation Column report scheduled at 7pm. I was planning on taking an advanced exam when I realized that we also have a ChE170 report at 4 - 5:30pm. T_T how am i going to take the exam and do the reports on monday T_T

On the fifth day

This must be the most tiresome friday ever. woke up at 6 to start my chem 111.1 post lab, went to Chem engg dept at aroung 7:30 to write 3 post labs then at around 10 i finished it. then moved on to finishing our written report in ChE165 which is due today then we ate at 12. after eating we continued the written report. we have heard several reports about the other group who had presented theirs and they said that Sir Rex raped them with questions. argh! pano pa kaya yung samin.. =( well the good news is ako ang highest sa fluid flow system design. actually nagulat ako e, i wasn't expecting my work to be that good. for one, my layout was handwritten so more or less mas madumi sya sa in-autocad na drawing. tanggap ko na nga na talo ako ni ria sa design na yun e kaya balak ko sana bumawi sa HE design kasi busy sya hehehe. pero as it turned out biased si Sir Geron (sabi ni Ria), his decision was in favor of me. ngayon napaisip ako, pano ko natalo si Ria.. Tapos may sinabi si Cherrie (*hug*) sakin, "siguro yung folder yun" hahaha! tingin ko nga yung folder yun. kaya Ria, sa susunod gumamit ka ng folder. :D anyway, ayun tapos yung first exam namin sa ChE170 pang-2nd ako tapos third si Ria. though masaya ako na talo ko ulit sya malaki pa ang lamang nya nung 2nd exam.. kaya kelangan ko sya bawian next exam >:D grabe OC mode na to! :D sana lang maayos ang maging result ng report namin sa 165 at 170 sa monday.. anyway bye na muna aral muna ako para sa chem. :D and to officially end my day, i have an exam at 7pm. bow!

~';,,;'~ --> blah!

arrrr... i shold be doing something right now but i dont have the energy and the drive to do it. i should be finishing my Heat Exchanger design but because i made the wrong assumption i have to recompute 6 long pages again... i should be finishing 3 ful reports in chem but.. im too tired.. what's happening to me.. 2 days na kong ganito.. ang daming gagawin ang daming ipapasa yet im still here in front of you whining about my lazyness.. I always tell my groupmates na kaya naming tapusin yung report before friday pero I myself doesn't believe that I can pull that off. ang dami ko pang idadagdag at gagawin dun sa report na yun.... hay... It's not stress.. Im just too lazy.. hay... tapo nadelay pa yung che170 report namin tapos gabi pa yung report namin sa 165 tapos wala pa kaming calculations tapos di ko pa natatapos iedit yung powerpoint ng 165... (para na kong si P-chan *atsui atsui~!*) no offense meant. :D pero ayun just want to rant... wala kasi akong output ng mga rants ko e.. kaya ikaw na lang kung sino ka mang nagbabasa ng blog ko. sensya na ha? emo kid ako today e... cut myself, hang myself, cry in the corner.. blah blah blah

I'm the ghost student of UPLB

I was browsing one of SystemOne's features which is the Checklist option wherein you can check the list of recommended courses as well as your remaining courses and units. When I searched my name this is what the site told me Notice the highlighted part. Null!? Hahaha! mukhang ayaw na ata ako pag-aralin ng UP e. :D I know this has something to do with their incomplete database pero nakakatawa lang. :D so ironic..

Positive frustrations

It's been years since I've had this feeling.. yung feeling ng nagwoworry ka kasi hell week na. I've been doing quite good this semester. actually this is one of my best semester (well next dun sa sem na naging College Scholar ako). pero eto ako ngayon worried na worried dahil ang daming requirements, well actually madami din akong time pero... ayun nahahaluan ng katamaran. Kapag mag-isa ako I always tell myself na it's about time to start ending of my college life. Ending not in the way that someone I knew defined. Ending na yun tipong grumraduate ako sa UP kasi natapos ko yung course at hindi dahil nadismiss ako or something. As far as i know chem lang ang iffinals ko pero yung requirements grabe matangkad pa ata sa akin pag pinagpatong-patong. Design, report, exam, assignment, design, powerpoint, written report, oral report, full report, exam... grabe nahihilo na ako.. nakakapagod, nakakastress (lalo na kung walang stress reliever), Minsan naiisip ko na this is just a waste of precious time na sana inispend ko na lang yung time na yun with my friends, nakakabadtrip pag minsan. Pero kapag nakita mo yung result ng pinaghirapan mo like you see a 1.0 somewhere in your test paper, pag sinabi ng instructor mo na "wag mo na baguhin yan uno na yan e", pag yung tipong kahit talo ka ng rival mo ok lang kasi lamang lang sya ng 1.5 points at kayo ang top 2 sa exams and the third placer is around 20-30 points behind, nakakatuwa. You feel so elated. parang feel mo na UP student ka talaga. Nakakasawa din maging bum, i've been a bum for like 7 years and this is the first time that I started and ended the semester seriously. Mahirap maging diligent, mahirap imaintain ang standing, mahirap makakuha ng uno sa classcard, pero UP student ako e walang mahirap mahirap sa amin. Nakakatamad lang :D

Teh Ilijan Power Plant field trip and "plant" inspection

Last March 4, 2007 our class in Chemical Engineering 199 (PLant Inspection and Seminar) had a field trip in KEILCO Ilijan Combined Cycle Power Plant in Batangas. We departed at around 6 am. and by 7 am we are already in Star Tollway. Ang akala ko malapit na since yung Star Tollway yung nagcoconnect sa batangas sa ibang parte ng Southern Luzon. pero hinde! grabe inabot kami ng 3 oras from the Star Tollway to the Power plant. But the journey there was fun. Buti na lang hindi mga kj ang kasama ko sa van, sobrang kulit nila. Tsaka hindi ako ang pinakamatanda sa van :D at least may ka-age ako na kasama. hehehe pero masaya kasama ang barkada ni Ria. :D sobrang enjoy sa van lalo na nung nag-travel back in time kami. may nadaanan kami na baranggay na ang color theme ng bahay at fence pati na yung mga bato na nakapaligid at yellow, green, at pink. Tapos ang daming parol, so nafigure-out namin na pasko pa lang dun sa town nayun. and as we go farther, the father we travel back in time. There's this village na ang name ay "Good Man's village" so we though na panahon pa ng mga Amerikano yung time dun. And yung last town na nadaanan namin before the Power Plant ay panahon pa ata ni Rajah Sulaiman. Nakakatawa nga e, yung isa pang town nangangampanya pa lang si gloria dun, 2004 ata yung time dun. heheh after 4 long hours we arrived at the power plant. di sya ganun kaexciting as i expected. i have been on a combined cycle power plant, first gas ata yun. tapos mas ok pa yung trip dun. actually badtrip yung tour namin sa power plant, we only went to the control room and the water treatment facility. ang corny! sa first gas pumunta kami sa turbine and generator room. tsaka sobrang wala akong nakuhang info na mahalaga sa plant inspection. Si Ria ata sa sobrang corny nung trip e medyo iba na ang pagkakaintindi sa plant inspection :P she inspected different kinds of plants :D well 1/4 of the time sa plant nagtour kami, the other 1/4 went to eating, and the remaining 1/2 went to sleeping. grabe boring! pero pagbalik namin sa van nagkabuhay ulit. :D as i have said earlier, Ria planned to inspect some "plants". actually balak nya talaga kunan ng picture yung power plant from a different angle pero sa tuwing iccapture nya haharangan yung image ng mga "plants" hehehe all in all we enjoyed the trip to the plant and the trip back to LB. regarding the tour in the power plant, mas ok pa sana kung nagcasual trip na lang kami sa different plants dun sa place since madaming plants dun na pwede iinspect. Tsaka di ba nila nahahalata na sawang-sawa na ang mga Chem Engg Students sa power plants! ang dami daming ibang plants na pwede iinspect bakit kaya power plant pa.. it would have been a lot educational kung dun kami na cement plant or petrochemical plant ng JG summit. wala lang. :D



Here are some of the pics dun sa trip namin :D

Ayun o!
Vanmates unite!
Ang ganda ng view!
Mindoro ata yun o
SoX yuck!
Hindi plant Inspection!
Plant Inspection as defined by Ria
The Land Before Time

Tonight we dine.. in hell!

grabe di ko alam kung matutuwa ako o mababadtrip ako. well mostly natuwa naman ako. actually wala naman talaga ako plans yesterday to do anything eventhough medyo ramdam na ang hell week the Chem Engg depoartment. tapos i decided to start and finish the ChE170 report. grabe simula 8:30am till mga 6:00pm gumagawa ako ng report. hindi naman kami nagrurush kasi next week pa naman yun pero. i never imagined the kaya ko mag-acad mode ng ganun... actually di ko pa nga ata nagagawa yun in ever sa UPLB life ko.. well i wouldn't have done it if not for my partner/rival/friend/hdhe na si Ria. well i guess it's time to thank her for everything. God really has a funny way of showing a person the right path.. :D malapit na kasi mawala ang buhay ko sa kung saang kanto.. i just hope it's not too late to return to my true path.. with 2 weeks to go till hell week, i am very prepared to take you on! tonight.. we dine.. in hell! >:D

Pooltergeist from hell!

It's been months since the last entry. well ever since that day i've been busy with my character in Kingdom of Loathing trying to ascend as fast as i could and find the ultra-rares in the game. guess what, i just found one! woohoo!! :P hehe im still shaking from the shock of finding it. >.<
