RANDOM-EY BALONEY

Every man's life needs RESPECT. I just damn need that 7-lettered word. Damn it. I know I've been too harsh for the past few days but hell, you just blurt out all my weaknesses. Please please, OH PLEASE. I just need some little appreciation on my accomplishments in life. It may be little or worse, useless for you but it plays a big role to my self being. Hey you, fatty scum! You're so insensitive. But I just realize that you just can't relate to my life. Damn. I don't care. Shoot. ARE YOU STRESSED? Yes. Me too. So please dad, I'm trying my best to do good not just in school but also in home. I know you can understand me and I also understand your situation. INTERPERSONAL MAELSTROM. But please, a little appreciation on my accomplishments, no matter how little it is could make my day complete. Seriously.


Tonight, I'm trying to finish my two speeches as part of my Comm 3 project - persuasive and informative speech. Good thing, my teacher picked good topics for my speeches - American Culture and its influence to the Filipino Culture (Informative speech) and Cyberbullying (Persuasive speech). Mabuti na hindi "CHANGE THE TOPIC" ang nakasulat sa topics ko. Haha.


It's the second week of February and I still had six weeks to suffer from sleep dispossession, SIX GRUELING WEEKS. Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday and Easter Sunday will be celebrated earlier than last year. I think it's on third week of March, and our FINALS WEEK would be on the 24th day of March 'til the 31st day of March. May God help us.


Since the last semester, I'm planning to take the advance class in Physics 3 this summer. I'm also into Statistics. But July said that it would be difficult if I take Physics and Stat. Physics lang, buong magdamagan na yan. Lecture in the morning, and lab sessions in the afternoon. Oh dear. So yeah, If I'll take Physics this summer, it would not be a hard time for me for the next semester. But wait. I should take another subject equivalent to Physics 3, or any 3-unit subject in school. I want to take Math 26 (Analytic Geometry and Calculus I). But magcoconflict din yan sa Botany 3 Lab ko. Crap. I want to take Stat 1, but the schedule posted in the school's quite ambiguous. Hay. Come what may.


I should search for any topics in Applied Physics for my Nat Sci 1. The teacher required us to make a 15-page SUMMARY report on any achievements on Applied Physics and a power point presentation on it. But he also said that he wouldn't read the 15-page summary. He's only interested in the PPT presentation. CRAP.

"THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU FINALIZE YOUR DECISIONS IN LIFE"

I would like to leave you this annoying but also funny quote made by my friends.

A: STARS"

BWAHAHAHHA =))

PseudoBUSY

The second round of the bloodshed had finally ended around 11 am of January 26, 2008. Weee. That day was our second long exam in Chem17 Lec. Fortunately it was an EASY exam. I wonder kung ano ang nakain ng Chem teacher [I shouldn't call him Professor since he still have to take his masteral this June] because he's fond of making DIFFICULT long exams. Well, the memories of Chem16 Lec still haunts me every now and then. Okay corny na 'to, but it's true. The fact that I got a 2.25 grade in Chem 16 was a some sort of a chamba-ish moment. Nabawi ko lang yan sa Lab grade ko, kaya nagkaganoon. Hahay.

Anyhow.

After that exam, I immediately went home together with Inna, Van and July. But for the others, they intruded Marky's crib in Laz Terrazas (a plush and luxurious village located on the steep hills of Ma-a). Favorite hobby na ata namin to - CRIB HOPPING. Unfortunately, I didn't join them since I'm so tired and I need to SLEEP.

When they arrived at Mark's place, guess what, NATULOG lang din sila (some of them watched TV)! Ang iba natulog sa comfy and luxurious couch nila (like Yuri) and for some, wala nang arte, humiga na sa carpet, kumuha ng ilang pillows and POOF, they snored in their respective places in no time. Here are some revealing evidences na natulog sila like SLEEPING BEAUTY. Special thanks to JOIE SHEEN BASTIAN - one of the pioneering paparazzi of Shakira Shabing for the pictures. Naks.

Wow. Nagbibeauty rest si Madame Sha-bing. Hahaha. Biro lang Yuri.

Grabeh. Binabaha na ang den nang dahil sa laway niyo! Bwhahaha :D

Hindi po ito White Lady. Si Sheara po ito. Hahaha :D

See? I told you. If I just didn't fought my mom hours before the exam, I should be there. Eh kaso, wala ako sa mood nung morning na yun because of STRESS, ayun! Di tuloy ako binigyan ng BAON ni MAMA! Huhuhuh. Sayang. 100 pa naman nyun. Hahay. That's life. Bweset.

Oh, Last Friday, I had this weird adventure. And it feels like I'm still in highschool. It goes like this. I didn't wore the appropriate PE shirt since I thought that I wouldn't attend my PE class. We were dismissed EARLY in our Chem 17 Lab, so early that we went to DHK Building (Department of Human Kinetics, hindi na HKC) at around 12 noon and played Table Tennis. I used my cellphone as the source of music (Nokia 6300). My PE teacher saw it and he was amazed. He asked me for the price and etc. The moment he checked the attendance, he warned me about my shirt. If I didn't changed it to pure white or any UP white shirt, he'll confiscate my cellphone. I know it's a joke but natakot ako dun. Praning na kasi because nung highschool ako, teachers there were fond of confiscating cellphones, iPods and other digital thingamajigs. It's like parang ngayon lang sila nakakita ng cyber doohickeys. Ooops. I'm talking too much. So right after the attendance, I sneaked out of the room and headed straight to Ate Malou's place para kunin ang mga finotocopy ko sa Chem. Unfortunately, hindi kinaya ang pagfotocopy ng Chang ni Ai2x (or tinatamad lang sila?!). Keshyo raw hindi klaro eh di na nila pinatuloy ang kanilang trabaho. Ugh, The nerve!

[Chang - Chemistry book worth 2000 pesos.]

So I hailed a jeepney and went straight to Kanluran (CSM - College of Science and Mathematics). And parang minalas ako, out of order pala ang photocopier doon. Haay naku. So I waited for the other block to be dismissed in their Chem17 Lab para may makasabay ako pauwi. On our way home, I gave the book to Mark and he'll return it to Ai2x.

Haay. Whattafriday.

BTW, as I wrote (with the help of the keyboard, not a pen) this blog, biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto ko, and it reminds me of CHELSEA. I used to love this name (Ugh. Highschool memories). So cute and pretty - appropriate and fit for a pretty princess, until Mamatay ka sa Sindak ni Barbara changed my perception with this name. Haay naku. Chelsea's funnier (and admittedly creepier) than Chaka Doll. Chaka Doll's cheap. Bwahahaha. :)) And Chelsea used to be a pretty doll until minalas lang siya because of a life long curse. Weh. Di nga.

YES. Finally. AFTER COUNTLESS YEARS OF SEARCHING AND RUMAGGING LIMEWIRE, I finally found this song. I knew the lyrics and the melody but I'm clueless with its title.

"I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you"

Yes! It was entitled I LOVE YOU ALWAYS TOGETHER by Donna Lewis. Feel ko nasa dagat ako whenever I hear this song.

Oh yeah. BTW. I just remembered this. I just saw the University calendar and by February 4-8, it would be our PRE-REGISTRATION WEEK. Ang bilis ng panahon. Second Year College na ako. YIKES. Well, I'm gonna enlist myself to my future subjects:

Bio 70 (Earth Science and Process) ahhww, too bad hindi na si DADDY BASTIAN ang teacher, si Ma'am Talde na, well according to DADDY BASTIAN'S daughter, Joie Sheen.
Bot 3 Lec (Intermediate Botany) yikes. Dr. Novero again.
Bot 3 Lab (Intermediate Botany Lab)
Chem 31 (Elem. Organic Chem) and who knows? Maybe yung bagong teacher from Food Sci and Chem Department. Sana bago. Huwag yung tipong "comeback tandem" na prof.
Chem 31.1 (Elem. Organic Chem Lab)
MCB 1 Lec (General Microbiology) Sabi nila, babalik ang terror prof ng microbio ng UP. And she's fond of giving a 3.0 grade, despite your greatest effort in mcb. I just hope it would STILL be Ma'am Pakdat or Ma'am Vernaiz. Aanhin pa ba ang UNO kung TRES ang USO. yahyah. Whatever.
MCB 1 Lab.
Phys 3 (General Physics 1) Hahay. I just hope this subject would be offered this SUMMER. And I don't want Engr. Acosta to be the teacher of this subject.

and 1 GE subject. Sana MST6 - Biodiversity Challenge. Teacher namin, ang ex-DEAN ng CSM! Weee. Ang pinakaEMO na DEAN sa buong UP System! Weehah.

Oh yeah. We still had one exam left for this week, and that is Bio 3 Lab. It's a moving exam, actually and all we need was to memorize each parts of organisms from Eukaryotic bacteria, prokaryotes, fungis, plants and animals. Haay.

This is the LIFE of an iskolar ng BAYAN. Bow.

Almost Through

Yah Yah. I just loooooove this week. :)))

The second part of the bloodshed week's almost through - ISANG EXAM NALANG ang i-aral ko starting today, or possibly to cram tomorrow night. Hahay. How I wish that I could score 80 and above in our second long exam, though I performed well in our previous exam in Chem 17. WEE :))

Speaking of scores, exams last Tuesday and last Thursday were finally returned this afternoon. WELL, WELL, WELL. I expected this over the weekend. I performed UNSATISFACTORILY in Comm 3. 5 points nalang and pasa na ako (and the exam was fairly easy). But Nat Sci 1, Bio 3 (and hopefully Math 14) outshined Comm 3. For the first time, I got a 3-digit score sa long exam namin. I got that in our Nat Sci 1 second long exam. Yes. 3-digits. 101/100. Lumampas pa ng 100! Haha. I was so happy when I received my precious bluebook in Nat Sci 1 because I didn't STUDY this subject. I only studied Bio 3 Lec, in which I memorized those functions and structures of a plant. Hahay. I'm not fond of plants but may tiyaga naman akong mag memorized ng mga structures ng plants. As if had a choice. So nabawi na rin ang Bio 3 ko.. at naka 75 pa ako. Double weehehe.

It was indeed an excruciating week for me.

So let's start on MONDAY, January 21, 2008.

I slept at 2 am and still, I'm not through memorizing those green and leafy terms in Bio 3. So I set an alarm, around 8.55 am to watch the Season Finale of the Amazing Race 12. Boy oh boy. The moment that I heard the alarm, I just deactivated it and continued my deep slumber. The next thing I knew, it was 9:55 am. CRAP. So, I hurriedly turned on my TV and road block na ang naabutan ko. Shyeet. Di ko nasimulan ang season finale ng AR12! Takte naman oh. Oh well. I'll watch this episode on YouTube soon. Whattabigdeal.

TUESDAY, January 22, 2008.

Camille Uy just turned 17 on this day but she didn't have a birthday bash on her crib (or meron?!). HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMILLE!

Oh yeah, on the contrary, that was the most stressful day so far in my college life. I mean, we had two exams on this day, Bio 3 and Nat Sci 1, plus we had a surprise quiz on Math 14, got to deal with the pre-lab report on Chem 17, had a crucial decision making with my classmates whether to attend Comm 3 or not since I haven't study my Nat Sci yet. So yeah, we decided to attend Comm 3 and I crammed during the lecture. WAAAA. I listened to the lecture then after a while, let's say kung laugh trip, that's my only time to glance at my notes in Nat Sci 1.

During the exam, I was quite confuse with some items in the multiple choice because yun nga, I didn't study at all. I don't consider cramming as studying. Wala ka talagang ma-absorb doon. Bahala na si Lord. But hell, I got a 101/100 plus I got 1.25 in the Chemistry part of Nat Sci 1. Cheers! Weeehah.

On that night, we decided to continue with our WRITTEN analytical report in our Chemistry 17 Lab. So went to Cha's house. Good thing I was almost through with my written report, but yung iba, they haven't started the report yet. There we made some kwentuhans while making the report, compared our data and observations and etc. To reduce accumulated STRESS, I played Cha's piano. Yes. ONE EFFECTIVE WAY to reduce stress. So peaceful, so serene. Oh yeah, I finished the report and went home at around quarter to midnight. Thanks Cha!

WEDNESDAY January 23, 2008.

So I slept at around 2 am and woke up at around quarter to eight. I didn't ate breakfast since I'm gonna be late for my first class, which is Chem 17 lec. I expected that we would have another surprise quiz on Molecular Bonding Theory or in IMFA. I didn't read my book. So when he said that we should prepare one whole sheet of yellow paper, I just said to myself na babawi nalang ako sa long exam. Haay. But wait. He drew something in the board - and it's quite familiar. YES. It's not an MOT thing nor IMFA. It's a Phase DIAGRAM! Yes. Hindi objective type ang quiz (but ang part 2, objective siya but it's quite easy). It's an analytic type of quiz. At last! Nakabawi na rin ako sa mga quizzes niya! I got 57/58 in his long quiz. Hahay. Thank God.

We've finally decided na hindi kami pupunta sa PE namin. We just stayed in the canteen for 3 and a half hours 'coz some of us, hindi pa natapos sa written report sa Chem 17 Lab. I just slept in the canteen for an hour.

Oo nga pala! On this day, JANSEL celebrated her 18th BIRTHDAY! Weehah! Her birthday was simple. We just played volleyball, then dodge ball, then took some pictures on her digicam. Haay. Ang saya. =))

THURSDAY, January 24, 2008.

It's our Math 14 second long exam and I just studied for only one hour. Tinatamad na eh, 'coz I'm suffering from sleep deprivation. All I need was to have a LONG, DEEP and UNDISTURBED HIBERNATION for at least 16 hours. Yes. I slept at 11 pm and woke up at 4:45 am. I just solved some problems in the book, then by 5:45 am, I slept again in the couch. The next thing I knew, it was already 8:10 am!! SHYEET! Ayokong MA-LATE! So I hurriedly went to the kitchen, drank my cold latte, took a shower for less than five minutes, then BOOM! Buti may nakatambay na HH driver malapit sa amin. Haay. A million thanks to you, manong. Good thing, the exam was, uhhm, fairly easy.

So, we finally met our new professor in Nat Sci 1 in the Physics part - no other than Engr. Joseph E. Acosta. He's intelligent, annoying and corny. Basta I got annoyed to him nung rumarampa siya sa platform. When I say rumarampa, I really mean it. He walked from the left side of the platform to the right then back to the left side, then to the right, pabalik-balik habang nagsasalita at sumakit ang ulo ko sa kanya. Grabeh. He told us na maraming paper works sa Physics part. This is the real deal. I need to cope up and adjust to the more grueling academic lifestyle of this semester. Dapat lang na masanay ako sa STRESS. :))

At nagalit pa si Engr. Acosta sa amin, keshyo raw maingay kami, ganito ganyan. Haaay. Right now, I missed Prof Jen, our teacher sa Chem part. Haaay.

Then the day passed by at hindi niya kasama si MALAS. Kilala mo ba siya? BASTA. ANG MALAS NG ARAW MO 'PAG NAKITA MO SI MALAS. Hindi tao, hindi hayop at lalong hindi multo, ngunit siya'y humahasik ng LAGIM kapag nakita mo na siya.


Yeah yeah. I missed my daily ritual which is BLOGGING. And right now, I need to start reviewing my Chemistry lesson. Next week's gonna be LIGHT, well temporary nga lang. Bio 3 Lab moving exam lang man din eh. Oh well. No more papers for this week nga lang. After a few unconscious weeks or DAYS, I'll have to struggle with grueling paper works on Comm 3 and Nat Sci 1.

Good luck. Prepare for the worst case scenario in UP. I wonder if Oble's ALIVE during midnight, well most especially kung FULL MOON. Naks.. ano toh? LOBO?! Whatever.

say UGGGH

Ugh. Crap.

Dammit.

My head aches SOO BAD. Ang sakit. Wait. My TWO EYEBALLS ache. Maybe it's my crappy eyes again. OR MAYBE, this is the result from accumulated stress. Whatever. I feel like I'm gonna vomit at any moment this time. CRAP. Shit.

I've drank 1 tablet of Biogesic three and a half hours ago.

And I don't want to drink Biogesic NOW - baka ma-overdose ako, and that's another dilemma. Ugh.

It's raining and I'm disturbed with its sound when rain meets roof. UUUYYY! Gumagawa ng scandal si Rain and Roof. Hahaha.

WAIT. MAYBE it's because of sudden weather change. Kanina nga lang, it was like a hot and humid afternoon, then today, it's raining cats and dogs.

I'm halfway with my Chemistry homework. 6 days to go 'til the Chem17 LOONG QUIZ.

I need to SLEEP. Adequate rest is highly appreciated.

Gütten Nacht.

Cliques

I'm very very very (owwzz) excited on this day: JUNE 7, 2007. What's this day by the way? Well, it's my FIRST DAY in UP! Yahoo!

Though, this day is like a program or some sort of welcoming us (the freshmen of course) so, no LECTURES (I think so??). Anyways I believe that I'm gonna be that shy kid, waiting for someone in vain to talk to me. Mind you it's very difficult for me to talk to someone whom I didn't know (call me snobbish but that's true). Meanwhile, I believe that college life could be so demanding compared to highschool life. It's a new phase of my life and I should pump my brain for the upcoming lessons most especially BIOLOGY and Chemistry. Hay naku, I need to reread my chemistry book since this subject is quite heavy - 5 units pare!

Oh by the way, students would be divided of the following cliques:


a] BRAINY HIGH - Obviously, this clique belongs to geeks! Well, not actually. Those who excells in academics particularly in Science, English, History and Math. Luckily I belonged to this clique (as what I've surveyed this a year ago) though I'm not your typical geek! Nyahaha. And most of all, not all geeks wore this particular attire - squeeky rubber shoes with loose-fitting shirts, shorts, multi-colored socks with their shirts tucked in. Ngyek, parang CLOWN??


b] SOSSY HIGH - Sons and daughters of rich business tycoons belonged to this clique. Armed with techie gadgets, make-ups, hair wax/clays and other beauty paraphernalias. They're the most famous in terms of their aura. (Huwwwaaat??)Okay okay, that's because they can spend their treasures doesn't mean they don't have brains, well that's what I've noticed in some movies related to college life. They can be as smart as those brainy kiddos.


c] REBEL HIGH - They can be obnoxious like a lone devil but they can be a nice dude. Though, they are rebels who seeks pleasures on peers, and other stuffs (don't tell me, pati drugs? oh no that's bad). They're troubled and they don't care about who they are and how they dressed. Being unique is their number one priority. Some sort of just being the center of attraction (or do they??)


d] NICE GUY HIGH - The most common of all possible cliques! And mind you, it's not easy to be nice though especially if you're mean or worse brutal. But don't get me wrong. I can be a nice guy if I want to!


Combine these F O U R would mean another chaotic (or memorable??) college life. I'm really excited. Sobra!

UP HERE I COME!!

The Road to El Dorado

College of Science - UP Mindanao

It is the 14th day of the third month of the year 2007. Well, this is just an ordinary day, until my mom told me to the last minute that we'll go to UP Mindanao Campus, just approximately 5 miles away from my crib. We rode a motorcycle or commonly known as habal-habal in Visayan language. We had no choice because that's the only mode of transportation accesible to the campus. Only a few jeepneys are available enroute to the campus. The ride was quite bumpy because of the road - uncemented. My mom was quite confused if we will go to the Administration building or to the Main Campus. Ideally and IRONICALLY, those two buildings were 2 kilometers apart, well never mind the rough road that we've ventured in. So we first stopped at the main campus and I observed that the students had no care with each other, well I mean, I saw somebody attending his class and he only wore slippers and a pambahay outfit. more or less, I think he came out from his dorm, without fixing his hair, after his afternoon siesta, just to attend his class! Wheewww!

But never underestimate them. Even they wore unprescribed uniform [though students had a freedom to choose on what will they'll wear during there classes], no, bnut seriously, even though they look like that, they had this intense intellectual capacity - really intense! Somehow, the environment is very conducive for learning. You can commune yourself to the nature, feel its wonder and its tranquility as you study in the campus.

Sad to say, effective last year, all UP CAMPUS in the country increased their tuition fee by 300%!. From the original tuition fee of 5000 pesos, the matriculation fee skyrocketed as high as 14000 pesos! Unfortunately, my course, which is BS BIOLOGY was the most expensive of all, the same with Food Tech, which is approximately 14000, excluding the miscellaneous fees and other stuffs to be complied in the enrolment period. The UP matriculation system hadn't increase for the last 16 years! - sixteen impatient years!! Malas ko naman oh!

Oh well, one week and a half week from now and it would be our Graduation Day! huhuhu!
