Bday ko!
Wednesday, August 24, 2005

Hi! Today is my birthday! And I just skipped my laboratory session this morning just to tell you. hehe. It's only a 1 A.U. module so no need to worry, just have to put more effort with my formal report to compensate with the one I just missed, I mean skipped. ^_^ (*fyi* I skipped 2 sessions last semester and still managed to get a B... lolz!). Besides, people who are celebrating their birthday are allowed to skip their lab session no questions asked!

Anyway, I'm just so blessed to have another year in this beautiful world. There were so many good things that happened to me as well as bad things. I'm just thankful that I was able to experience all these and managed to stay alive.

I'm grateful that I have friends who are always there to cheer me up everytime I'm down and troubled. Their presence and the support they always give me are things that I would always cherish and give importance with. I know there were times that I feel that our friendship may be too shallow and full of pretence but I was wrong. The kind of relationship we have now is very far from being shallow. And I thank you guys for it. (Thanks for the cake and the gift, I appreciate it a lot!)

I just wished that I can celebrate my birthday with my family. It's been 3 years since I last celebrated this special day with them. Even though my mother would only make her special "pansit" it doesn't matter coz what's important is that we were together. But I'm still thankful to God for always watching over my family. I know that someday I will be able to celebrate my birthday with them again.

I am looking forward for the days to come. They might not be as smooth as I want them to be but nevertheless I will still face them in full vigilance and zeal. Obstacles and barrier will put me down but not for long because I will rise up again stonger with wisdom through the presence of my friends, family and especially God.

Thank you Lord. Thank you Father.

Jam and HOp at the QUAD
Saturday, August 20, 2005

Sometimes, if you feel you are in a corner and cannot escape, wait coz someone or something would come and save your ass.

Around 7.30 pm last night I was choosing between studying and slacking when I received a text message from Czarina, inviting me to go with her roomate in the Jam and Hop (it was a jam band competition) at the Quad. Since going there would be a very nice reason not to study, I decided to become a delinquent.

The competition was organized by NTU-Students Union and I was so excited because it was the first time I'm going to such event. AFter washing my face, and wearing a pair of jeans and a sleeveless shirt, I immediately left my room. While walking on north spine parking level, I can already hear some music playing (the competition must have started, I thought). The excitement made me walk faster. I wanted to see the crowd and join the fun already! And when I turned right towards the Quad, I was so surprised! There were quite a number of people, but much less than what I was expecting.... I later found Czarina and her roomate (forgot the name, sorry... ^_^) sitting on the 4th row).

If you're watching a jam band, isn't it better to enjoy the beat, clap you hands, and even jump around instead of just being sucked-ass whimps on their seat doing totally nothing???

I understand that most of the people there were just after the 3-dollar movie passes promised to be sold (which they did eventually) but at least show some interest to the performing groups. NTU students are so passive! Listening intently but remaining static during a band performance, for me is a big sin in the music world! These people even have the face to sit in front. What I mean is, if I am the band, I would appreciate it more if people show more interest to what I'm doing. And if the audience last night are more active, I guess everyone might have enjoyed the event more.

Anyway, another added attraction were the free booz! Yeah baby! Free beer c/o Singapore's tiger bear, which I never really liked by the way (San Ming/Red horse, still the best!). Sadly I didn't even go for one battle coz I havent eaten anything for dinner aside from the french fries Czarina gave me (binigay nya rin sa kin yung initial d shirt na kasama nung goodie bad na napanalunan nya! yey! bait talaga ni charing!). Too bad, eh? Especially if you see people around you slurping on free drinks which only happens in a million years in NTU. But oh, well, at lest I had my free fries! hehehe

If you dont know the band playing, and tring to figure out why the hell you are there, just relax and enjoy the music, go with the flow, and you'll feel great about it.

The best part of the night, I must say, was when Electric, a local band in Singapore, performed and brought the event's climax. At first I didn't know who the hell is electric. I even learned that they are a local band from the announcements of NTUSU. But man, they rock! They really rocked the house! Who says Singaporean can't excel in music? Wel truly this is an exemption. Electric! I'm trying to compare them with other bands (pinoy bands, hehe) and they are of the same caliber with Eraserheads and even Wolfgang! I especially like the keyboardist coz she's so pretty! hehehehe... But how come I didnt know that such band exist here in Singapore? Maybe I'll try to lower my ego and start to know the local music scene, eh? Well, probably... Sana makabili ko ng album nila.. haha...

The program ended around 10.30 after announcing the winner. The Malay group, which I think should have won it, didn't even manged to land in 3rd place. Hall 15 Jam Band, won the first price. I guess that will happen if you bring a lot of friends in a popularity contest.

Said goodbye to czarina and her roomate then went to McDonalds at Canteen A. Glad they were still open that time. Bought my favorite, quarter pounder with cheese meal and walked back to my hostel...

I was so tired that I went to bed right after I've eaten. What a pig... (of course I brushed my teeth... ^_^)

Prof na mukhang ewan...
Friday, August 19, 2005

Mukhang ewan kanina yung lecturer sa project lab ko (Java and Internet Programming). Kung anu-ano ang pinagsasasabi. Joke ng joke, di ko naman siya maintindihan. Define ng define ng mga acronyms tulad ng HTTP, FTP, POP, etc. mali-mali naman ang definitions nya. Ang hina pa magsalita, paano ba naman, ang layo ng mike sa bibig nya kaya halos walang lumalabas na boses nya sa mga speakers sa loob ng lecture theater. Biruin mo, 3 hrs ang lecture nya eh halos kalahati nun napunta lang sa mga walng kwenta nyang "anecdotes" at personal "kwentos". Kaya ayun, wala akong naintindihan sa kanya. Babasahin ko na lang ang lecture notes sa weekend kung may time pa ko.

Eh pano na next week? Mukhang mahirap pa naman ang laboratory na to. Tapos formal report ko pa ... nyahaa... paano ako makakasulat ng report kung hindi ko maintindihan. Pero sabi naman ng lab partner ko, tutulungan nya daw ako. Ang bait nya! Nakakahiya tuloy kasi halos wala akong naitulong sa kanya sa last project lab namin (Microprocessors) kundi ang magkabit-kabit ng mga wires nung ISA adpater na kailangan namin. Pero ok lang, sa panahon ngayon di na kailangan ang hiya hiya!!! (--,)

BUkas union day. WAlang pasok from 11.30am-3.30pm. Yey! That means I dont have to go to 2 of my classes (1 lecture, 1 tutorial). Yey ulit! Tapos may libre pang lunch c/o McDonalds bukas. Sana di ako maubusan! hehehe... Tapos may libreng beer from 8pm-10.30 pm! Todo na to! Siyet... sana masaya bukas! Pwede daw magyaya ng isang friend (which I suppose isn;t an NTU student) at pati siya bibigyan ng libreng beer! Wow grabe! Ano kaya ang nainum ng main comm ng Students Union at naisipan nilang magbigay ng libreng beer? May banda rin daw bukas. Kaso mas trip ko sana kung Parokya or MYMP ang tutugtog... mangarap daw ba???

Rainy days
Wednesday, August 17, 2005

Tired. I don't know the reason why I'm always tired these days. I'm just always tired. You won't see me doing any heavy work, I don't even go to the gym or something. Maybe that's it, I don't exercise that's why I don't feel any energy in me. Or it could be anything else. I hate feeling like this, coz I become less productive.

Anyway, it is raining outside right now. My type of weather. Rainy days make me relax. I can also be sentimental if it rains. It's also a nice time to cuddle with someone or something if that "someone" is not available (pillows in my case). Somebody said this before (I can't really remember who): "I want to be the rain that brings together the heavens and the earth, which in eternity would never be connected." I wish I could be that "I".

A lot of things are happening around me these days. I wonder what would happen next. Well, whatever it might be the outcome of these things, I care no more.

STAY

STAY
by Cueshe

I believe
We shouldnt let the moment pass us by
Life's too short
We shouldnt wait for the water to run dry

Think about it
Cause we only have one shot at destiny
All im asking
Could it possibly be you and me?

So if you'd still go, i'll understand
Would you give me something just to hold on to?
And if you'll stay, ill hold your hand
Cause im truly, madly, crazily in love with you

Time has come
For us to go our separate ways
God forbid
But my mind is going crazy today

I feel so cold
Feel so numb
Im having nightmares but im awake
Help me lord
Fight this loneliness
Take this pain away

So if you'd still go, i'll understand
Would you give me something just to hold on to?
And if you'll stay, ill hold your hand
Cause im truly, madly, crazily in love with you

Now that you're gone, im all alone
Im still hoping that you would come back home
Dont care how long, but im willing to wait
Cause im truly, madly, crazily in love with you

T.G.I.S
Monday, August 08, 2005

Last saturday was such a day to remember - NTU-Pinoys beach gathering at Sentosa!

Since it's just the second week of class and everyone is not that busy yet, we decided to head for the beach. You know, just to hang around, learn about each other more, and also to welcome the new batch of scholars (finally after 2 years) from the Philippines! Sunday was Wesley's 20th birthday (yuck tanda mo na!) so we sort of celebrated that as well.

The weather was just great - warm and sunny! Perfect day to enjoy the sand and cold sea water! We ate a lot, played a lot, swam a lot, and ate some more and yet we didn't manage to finish everything. Joyce made some calamares, I and the kids cooked some lumpiang shanghai, some brought chicken adobo, shrimps, and roasted chicken! Even the thought of those still makes my mouth water.

Cameras were everywhere! After all, meeting up like this is as rare as a diamond. naks! Too bad, some of the juniors didn't come and just studied all day instead... such bummers... pero kung saan sila masaya, eh di fine...

Anyway, we stayed in the beach until 5pm then we started cleaning up and packing up our things. The sun was about to set, and not a single camera loving person would miss that opportunity to have some great shots. So we went to this small island through a hanging bridge, climbed up a sort of a wooden tower, and there we had the best view we could have. You can see the distant islands, the large ships and boats, and the big ocean extending in the horizon. And I just thought, how beatiful this world is, and the One who created all of it.

Afterwards, some people went home already, but some of us stayed for the Musical fountain. Damn, I was so glad that I stayed. I already forgot how the musical fountain could be that enticing! It was truly magical. I was smilling, no, grinning throughout the show and I felt like all my worries, my weariness vanished together with the water..

And yet, everything must end. It was time to call it a day. I slept on the bus on the way back to Boonlay. I was tired, yet I was glad. Well in fact, I still am. Thank God it was Sabado.

p.s.

pictures will come later

Teasing butt

I was on my way to the canteen, walking straightforward while in deep thoughts on what to eat later when suddenly, I found myself staring at the biggest pair of butt my had ever laid upon in my entire life. Ok, I've seen big butts before (including mine) but at least they are proportional to the body of the owner. This pair was different as it was really sticking out, teasing anyone that sees them, "dude I'm a butt. Come and grab me". Woooh! Grabe! Yeaaah! Tambok talaga. Unfortunately the owner was a guy.

I had cheese prata afterwards.
