Your Birthdate: October 27

Your birth on the 27th day of the month (9 energy) adds a tone of selflessness and humanitarianism to your life path. Certainly, you are one who can work very well with people, but at the same time you need a good bit of time to be by yourself to rest and meditate. There is a very humanistic and philanthropic approach in most of things that you do. This birthday helps you be broadminded, tolerant, generous and very cooperative. You are the type of person who uses persuasion rather than force to achieve your ends. You tend to be very sensitive to others' needs and feelings, and you able to give much in the way of friendship without expecting a lot in return.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

i now believe that everything happens for a reason..

a lot of bad things may have happened yesterday, but i think it all happened so that i could appreciate my birthday more..

i thought i lost a thousand pesos, only to find out there was no thousand to lose in the first place..

i thought i lost my book, only to find out a kind-hearted friend gave it to someone trustworthy..

my birthday wasn't so bad after all..

---

sa mga nag-greet, at sa mga hahabol palang, a million thanks to you guys! you certainly made my day..

• i realized i'm P1000 short of cash.. i swear someone took it from my wallet..
• i left my Logic book in our Circuits room.. when i came back for it, it was gone..

really.. this cannot happen! not on the eve of my birthday..

no..

mabilisan lang to..

sobrang sama ng pakiramdam ko right now.. didn't go to class ngayon kasi i have a very itchy throat, colds, dry cough, and migraine, not to mention feeling very weak whenever i get up..

it now makes me wonder how i even got out of bed to surf.. very puzzling..

was my first time to be a peer adviser kanina.. very disappointed for two reasons:

• i wasn't listed as an adviser for Physics even though i signed up for a 1:30-3:00 sked..
• no advisee showed up when me and my friends were at the Math advising center..

hmmph.. hayaan mo na.. sana next week meron na!

lots of things around me's killing me slowly, breaking me down..

phone's out cold..
burner's not reading cds..
laptop's nearing it's death..
schoolwork's piling up at an exponential rate..

i need a breather.. does OXYCAN really work? i sure could use one right now..

pucha, punong-puno na ako!

hindi talaga ako madaling mapikon.. dati, oo, pero ngayon, mahabang-mahaba na ang pasensya ko..

not anymore.. starting today, i'm fighting back.. sumosobra na sila, e.. this has got to stop.. ako itong si mabait, si mapagmalasakit, si palaging kinakantyawan pero hindi napipikon, si hindi na pinapansin ang mga pagkakamali nila, si hindi na iniintindi ang pambwibwisit nila.. pero, sige parin sila, e..

ngayon matitikman na nila ang hagupit ko..

sayang.. maybe good people really are meant to be taken advantage of.. nauubusan na kami ng pasensya, kaya unti-unti kaming naglalaho sa mundo..

just had my first quiz in Logic1[Lec] a while ago.. tae, may mga hindi ako nasagutan!

how on earth are you going to simplify this logic expression?:

xy + x(w'z+wz') + y(w'z'+wz)

tapos, Mam Ontimare had us convert a decimal number into its equivalent octal and bi-quinary counterparts.. i was like, what the hell is bi-quinary? i assumed Mam was just testing our ability to derive the meanings of unfamiliar words.. so, i was like, quinary stands for 5, and bi stands for 'twice'.. so, i again assumed that bi-quinary is just a fancier name for decimal.. leche, hindi pala! bi-quinary pala yung number system na ginagamit sa abacus.. how on earth am i supposed to know that! sabi niya, mag-aral lang daw kami ng iba pang number systems, pero i never expected na magbibigay siya ng number system na sobrang unfamiliar.. grrr..

hala.. mababa na tuloy yung score ko! /sob

yesterday, still in our MatSci class, biglang nagparinig si sir.. marami daw kasi sa class namin ang kung-ano-ano lang daw ang pinaglalalagay sa mga synthesis nila..

Akala ninyo hindi ko binabasa yang mga synthesis ninyo, a.. bahala kayo jan..

tapos kinuha niya yung synthesis ng friend ko.. class kasi nila bago kami.. inabot, linabas ang pen, at linagyan ng 5 points..

napatulala nalang tuloy ako sa ginawa niya..

i now have something to look forward to everytime i go to my MatSci class..

everyday a certain professor posts very effective motivational quotes in the whiteboard..

napasaya nanaman ako ngayon, kasi maganda nanaman yung quote.. tumatagos sa puso.. *thumps chest*

geez, sa friday na yung long exam namin sa Logic1..

at last i'll experience ontimare's wrath.. sana lang i'll live to tell the tale..

whoosh.. nagdrama nanaman.. hehe..

read this in the whiteboard of our MatSci classroom:

"Excellence is never an accident."

for some reason, napangiti ako.. ewan ko kung bakit..

may nagtanong sakin, bakit daw it's complicated ang nakalagay sa profile ko.. uuuy, may lovelife na daw ako..

reply ko, kaya yun ang nakalagay, kasi wala pa, pero, basta.. Ü

yesterday's meeting in Logic1 Lab has got to be the worst first meeting ever..

it all started out like this..

last night, our prof asked the the non-repeaters to raise their hands.. shempre naman, si ako, i raised my hand.. walanjot, 6 lang kami!

so hiyawan naman yung mga 'kuya' [yung mga repeaters].. then, Mam Mendoza asked me if I have taken my Electronics class already.. i said no.. nagtaka siya kung bakit hindi pa.. sabi ko, pina-advance ko lang naman yung Discrete Math class ko last term kaya kinuha ko na rin ngayon ang Logic1, and in 3 quarters ko pa makukuha yun.. lalo siyang nagtaka.. tinanong niya kung anong batch ako.. sabi ko, batch 2004 ako..

nagulat ako sa mga reactions nila.. parang synchronized gasp, ba.. turns out, ako lang pala ang batch 2004 sa kanila.. lahat sila, batch 2002 o 2003..

sunod na tanong ni mam, ilang taon na daw ako.. sabi ko 17 palang.. mas ka-gimbal-gimbal naman ang sumunod na reaction nila.. hiyawan.. ambata ko pa daw! pakshet.. threat naman ni mam sa kanila, pag nag-excel pa daw ako sa kanila, ibabagsak daw sila ni mam.. pero pabiro lang, kaya tawanan.. ako naman, nahiya naman ako, kasi nga, basta, ganun..

tapos, nag-mention si mam ng mga terminologies on electronics.. kaming mga non-repeaters, wala kaming maintindihan sa mga sinabi niya.. delikado daw kami, kasi kailangan daw namin yun.. yung mga kuya naman, sabay-sabay na nag-'hala kayo, mahirap yan!' sa aming mga first takers.. leche.. siyempre, kinabahan ako.. baka tuloy bumagsak ako dito..

tapos kinuha niya yung stack of index cards niya.. tatawagin ata kami isa-isa.. it just so happened na akin yung naman yung nasa pinaka-taas.. binasa niya, tapos tinawag niya name ko.. "MAMBA?" e di raise naman ako ng kamay.. tinitigan niya index card ko.. titig, hindi niya ini-scan, tinitigan talaga.. sabay tingin sakin..

"class, alam niyo ba average niya?"

i froze the moment she said that.. i signaled her not to tell, but, alas.. siyempre, todo depensa naman ako, na naka-chamba lang ako last term kasi 10 units lang ako, kesyo ganito, kesyo ganon.. pero nakakatakot talaga yung reactions nila..

that has got to be my most horrifying moment in mapúa.. the horror..

Wednesday, October 05, 2005

it's only the third day of my 6th quarter in Mapúa, and yet i feel liked it's already our Finals week.. i've never felt so tired in my entire academic career..

i have 18 units this term.. hell, 18 UNITS! aside from the 15 units, i've also taken UNIX this term.. i don't why i did, basta i just felt like taking it..

geez.. i hope i can get through this term alive..

tickle told me a LOT of things..

it told me that the brightest color in your aura is yellow [that i am vibrant and am exceptional in logical, concrete thinking], that i am afraid of being unsafe [that i should know how these fears can produce devastating effects when left 'untreated'], that i'm inspired by helping people [that i'm the first to step up and lend a helping hand], that i am 37% feminine [that i am somewhat more feminine than other men, but doesn't necessarily mean i'm effeminate], that my handwriting says that i am orderly [that i generally follow the rules to keep things clear], that if i were a movie i'd be a groundbreaking documentary [that i'm an intelligent individual who makes people think]..

that i should have a career in Math and Science [kasi daw i enjoy analyzing], that my true talent is my mechanical ability [that i am good at fixing things], that i am right-brained [that i am flexible in many realms of my life]..

that i am in the 96th percentile of their brainteaser test [that i have an unusually strong ability when it comes to solving numerical problems, in finding numerical patterns, and in feeling when something doesn't add up], that i am a creative theorist [that i am a highly intelligent and complex person], that i am a visual mathemetician [that i am gifted at spotting numbers], that i am a precision processor [that i usually find ways quick ways to solve problems]..

and yet it cannot decide whether my IQ is 129 or 133.. harhar..

yeah right.. as if these quizzes are true..

ahh.. the things you do when you're bored.. you'd do anything and everything just to kill time.. besides, who takes these quizzes seriously, anyway? and they expect me to pay $12 per quiz to get each test analyzed.. sheeesh..

and you thought you were the only one watching..
