i passed by cybill's blog kanina.. andami kong reactions, not to mention a lot of memories, while reading the entry, so i ginawan ko na lang yun ng saliring post dito sa blog ko! ^_^

***

haaaay.. ang nakamamatay na research na kailangan para makapag-graduate from high school..

i remembered mine tuloy.. nung third year, ang proposal namin is to make a program to accompany Dr. Mateo's SelTop Math book.. it interested me soooo much [kahit na mababa nakuha ko dun.. ^_^] kaya ko naisipan na gawan yun ng program..

the project was scrapped at the start of our 4th year after we found out na Batch 2005 took their SelTop Math during our 1st sem.. we were going to test the effectivity of the program on them kasi, e since we do not have test subjects na, we decided to drop it and find a new topic for research..

ang gusto nina crisel at claire [mga groupmates ko], mag-bio nalang daw kami.. e ayaw ko, kasi hindi ko nagustuhan yung nahanap nila na topic, so umalis ako sa group.. marami akong iprinopose kay mam gena, pero ayaw niya.. pero she got excited nung nalaman niya yung pinaka-mediocre ko na idea.. as in super sisiw nalang nung project, inde ko lubusang maisip kung bakit nagustuhan pa yun ni mam..

my god, sa sobrang gusto ni mam gena nung proposal ko, gusto pa niyang isabak yung unit-converter ko sa intel.. for christ's sake, uber-lame nun! the program won't stand a chance against more complicated research projects that may actually make a significant change in the way we live.. hayan, ewan ko kung pano nalaman ni mama, pero when she found out na hindi ko pa tapos yung program kaya hindi ako nakasali, galit na galit siya sakin.. yeah, as if my program really stood a chance..

and to think ang gusto pang mangyari ni mam gena ay gumawa daw ako ng actual na calculator.. woah, masyado na yatang farfetched yun.. ?_?

cybill: alam kong magaling kang mag-program, kaya i suggest na you go make one.. pero not like mine na pangit.. maybe darwin-type programs.. maganda yung idea at yung ginawa nila, e..

isa pa daw sa mga inaalala ni cybill ay yung mga entrance tests.. yeaaaah.. entrance tests.. ^_^

the summer before 4th year, todo review ako kahit ayaw ko.. kesyo kailangan daw para pumasa kami sa mga magagandang schools.. ayaw ko namang masayang ang HS education ko, kaya ayaw ko rin mag-aral sa kung saan-saan lang.. kaya, hayun, nag-aral nalang ako..

naalala ko tuloy yung UPCAT.. sabi nila, isa daw yun sa mga pinakamahihirap na mga exams na mae-encounter mo.. you call that hard? i'm sorry, pero honestly, relatively easy siya.. promise.. but that relatively easy test didn't bring me to UP-Diliman [Y_Y].. tingin ko kaya hindi ako pumasa kasi mabababa talaga ang grades ko sa school.. oh, wait, pumasa pala ako, pero sa UPLB.. inde naman ako nag-aral dun kasi walang Computer Engineering dun, e..

next up is ACET.. bullcrap yang ACET na yan.. this is the hardest entrance exam i have taken.. pucha.. i still remember it, e.. i have no one to talk to, it was hot even if it is raining, and i even sat on the wrong seat.. plus i bought a 5110, while yung mga nakapalibot sakin puro MMS and phones.. tapos ang pinakanakakainis dun sa ACET ay sobrang hirap nung math.. hindi ko pa siya natapos kasi hindi na-update nung proctor yung time left sa board.. i took my time, and next thing you know, the time is up.. bullcrap, i tell you.. bullcrap!

sabi ng classmates ko, pag engineering daw, maganda sa Mapua.. ako naman, e di okay.. masubukan nga dun.. hindi ako nag-review, pagod ako galing sa biyahe from Nueva Vizcaya, and i was not feeling well the day i took the exam.. and, yet, nakakuha ako ng scholarship dun.. haha.. ayaw nilang maniwala na chamba lang talaga.. nagkataon lang na alam ko ang mga sagot sa exam.. need more proof na chamba lang talaga yun? look at my grades... ;)

when i was taking the USTET, nakatulog ako.. kulang ako sa tulog, bumiyahe from laguna at 4am, and hindi nag-review.. haha.. pa-easy-easy lang ako nun, pero isa ang hindi ko napasa sa tatlong in-apply-an ko.. T_T

last, and UE.. haha.. wala lang.. trip-trip lang talaga.. i really had no intention to study there, pero they came to Vizcaya to entice us, e.. maganda ang offer.. libre school fees, may book & travel allowances, libreng air-con dorm, at marami pang iba.. they let us take the scholarship test [ang wierd dun, pwedeng mag-calculator! ?_?].. after taking that test, nagulat nalang kami kasi may entrance test pa pala.. :rotflmao:

cybill: wag kang mag-alala.. hindi ako nag formal review classes, and i'm sure a lot of your friends didn't go to one too [heck, kahit nga si marcus, e].. wag kang mag-alala.. matataas naman ang grades na nakukuha mo compared sakin, so i think you really have nothing to worry about.. ^_^

4th year subjects? lemme see..

Econ: boring, pero ang kailangan mo lang talagang gawin ay makinig kay sir ximen-ero [haha!].. and tell your classmates not to do anything para mag-walk-out siya.. at first, medyo nakaka-konsiyensiya talaga, pero after the 4th or 5th time, corny na.. ^_^

Math5: haha! makinig ka ng mabuti dito.. importante to.. trust me.. sana nga lang i took math5 seriously.. sobrang importante talaga niyan sa college.. and, if you hate math now, you are gonna despise college math! ^_^

AdvTop: kung alam ko lang na relativity ek-ek yung AdvTop Physics, yun nalang sana ang kinuha ko.. super lame naman kasi ng AdvTop Robotics, e.. :rolleyes:

cybill: what's up with mam connie? is everything okay? pakumusta nalang pala.. ^_^

last words: cybill, malas mo naman... sa kadami-dami ba naman ng teachers jan sa MPPA [^_^], si mRNA pa ang nakita mo.. tapos, bakit hindi mo kinausap si Sir Gerry? waaaa.. the next time you see him, tell him na miss na siya ng Curium [kami kasi ang only Math4 class niya nung 3rd year, e.. ^_^]!

and you thought you were the only one watching..
