DAY 91 - Welcome SUMMER !!!

The 31st day of March greeted us with a warm and lazy sunrise. I just woke up at around 9 am and I was quite nervous for our AH 3 final exam. I belonged to the Speech Choir group and boy, I need to memorize my assigned lines or else, it would be one of my most embarrassing moments in life! Dang! So yeah, we had just finished our presentation and it was nice though the two professors gave constructive criticisms on our presentation. At least they had sought our greatest efforts on to our Final Exam. Hurray, Hurray, not! Today’s not the right time to celebrate summer though; I still had to comply with the FINAL project of Chemistry 17. But I think I can manage to finish this tonight.

So yeah, mom didn’t allow me to join the advance class on any GE subjects this summer since I need to rest for the whole two months of [boredom] fun and excitement. Yeah right, so instead of enrolling myself to UP’s summer class, mom promised to give me a one and a half grand for shopping. I think it’s fair and I think my body needs rest. She had a point. Mother always knows the best and yeah, I don’t want to feel any pressure this summer since my [P]amily is the most important persons in my life. Thank you! WTF?! Hahaha. =)))

I haven’t watched the second half of Sweeney Todd. I should watch it as soon as possible. Errgh. I mean, it’s the most creative “gruesome” movie that I have watched in my entire life. If given a chance to compare Sweeney Todd to other “gruesome” movies, like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Saw and other movies with similar platforms, I would say that the latter movies that I’ve mentioned are NOTHING but of pure violent and horrible movies. Even if there’s a plot, there’s a chance that the audience will only look for its frightening scenes and not the story itself. I feel thy horror.


Oh yeah, so summer’s a perfect time to watch the idiot box 24/7 (otherwise the idiot box will explode if left on for more than 24 hours, tv’s have life too, kiddo!) since reality TV shows germinated as early as 1st week of March. I’m currently hooked with American Idol and the Big Brother Teens Plus (call me baduuy, but I just can’t help it). On AI, I’m quite disappointed to see the non-existent aura of Kristy Lee Cook. Undeniably, she’s pretty, but can be bitchy if ever she’s famous, just like Britney. I may be wrong with my judgment, but hell I don’t like her. I don’t REALLY like her. And for those who LOOOVE Chikizie (the hell his name spells, I don’t care), forgive me but I don’t like him too, but I hate KLC MORE than him. He has the talent but he doesn’t have what it takes to be the next American Idol. I bet for Ramielle Malubay or David Archuleta to win on the current AI season. On PBB, well, I just want to wait and watch for the biggest PLUS on to this phenomenally hit reality TV show.


So yeah, summer’s lovely for the first few weeks but can be a bit boring. I just need money this summer. CRAP. Classmates, see you on the first bloc encounter! Sophomore life, here I COME! (And I should listen to the Plant Geekazoid’s lecture on Botany 3!)

Surprises are DEADLY, right?

Final’s Week.


It’s the most tiring, most gruesome, the deadliest, and the most horrifying week that a student would encounter in his life. Most students suffer from sleepless nights, dreadful and dark eye bags, loss of appetite, malnutrition (OA) and most of all, the tendency of committing suicide (double OA). Naks!

BUT FOR ME? Nah! Hell not, I averaged 8 to 9 comfy hours of sleep. Yes. I mean, I’m more stressed if it is a long exam, but for the final exam, I just sleep and read my notes five minutes before the exam.

Okay, so I’m quite giddy since I only have one exam left to take that is MST 1 (Nat Sci 1). Woohoo. But who knows, maybe Manoy will give SURPRISES during the exam. I just HATE surprises, you know, just like in our Bio 3 (Biodiversity) Final Exam.


The surprise goes like this:

As we all know, Bio 3 is composed of two parts: the plant portion and the animal portion. This subject’s very, very broad. Topics were so extensive that you’ll incur a grade of 5.0 if you don’t study ahead of time. So yeah, we all thought that the exam’s only on the animal portion but lo and behold! The Plant Geekazoid gave Mommy Taldee another set of exam – the whole coverage of the plant portion. Crap! It was a great day that I haven’t brought or even read those bright and neat hard copies of the lessons in the plant portion (the last time I read those hard copies was January 22, 2008 – our second long exam in the plant portion.)! Oh great. I just lost my appetite. I only took a half serving of rice and yeah, I DON’T FEEL ANY PRESSURE RIGHT NOW! (Yikes, sabaw mode, WTF, Janina San Miguel, get out!)

Five, four, threeeee, twooooooooo, ooooonnnnnneeeee..

“Okay, as soon as you receive your test papers, answer right away. And yes, on the plant portion, kindly write your answers on a clean bond paper that your other teacher had provided.”

Think, think, and think! Animals didn’t bother me during the exam. Plants are crap. WHEW. I forgot the meaning of allopatric and sympatric variations, and I’m not sure of the other terms of plants. But I do remember tracheids, vessels, parenchyma, chlorenchyma, scelerechyma cells and other shitty CHYMAS out there!

Okay okay, very well said. Plants give life to other living organisms but they have indirect traumatizing effects on Biology students!

On the lighter side, I’m just happy that I managed to finish my final exam in Chem 17. Take note: I didn’t study on this exam. I only slept after watching PBB, and realized that I still have an exam to review. Good lord, the exam was simple memory recall. If you just listen to his lectures, read and understand the basic and complicated concepts, it’s not a big problem. The exam was worth a good 108 points (excluding the bonus part) and you must answer it for a limited time only, which is 2 hours. Dos is cool but 1.75’s far better than the former!

I haven’t started reading my Nat Sci 1 module! AND DAMN, the exam will be tomorrow MORNING, 8:00 – 10:00 am. Crap. And I shall reiterate this: I HATE SURPRISES, RIGHT CLASSMATES?

Bwahahaha :))

Mental Maelstrom

Oh, what a day! It was the most EXCITING and THRILLING day that I’ve experienced in my crappy life, so far. Darn.

Now, I’m learning and trying to accept the bloody truth about our school. Even if you studied hard, let’s say for days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millenniums, your efforts will be quite useless, or at least a quarter of effort will be used.

I have read those gangues, flotation process, Hall Heroult Process, smelting, slags, but HELL, never did I think that the common names of ores and minerals should be MEMORIZED. Hematite is Fe2O3, Magnetite is Fe3O4, epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, bauxite is Aluminum Oxide Hydrate and all those drates, ates and ites.

I’m lucky. I quickly understand the band theory of metals, semiconductors, doping, and p and n-type semiconductors. BUT HELL, I AM NOT SURE about my answer in the essay part. But the point is I have an answer.

Naming complex ions are really addictive. It’s fun to write the chemical formula of:

pentaamminechlorocobalt(III) chloride, tris(en)manganese(II), Sodium trioxalatonickelate(II), Dichlorobis(ethyldiamine)platinum(IV) nitrate, tetraammineaquachlorocobalt(III) tetrahydroxozincate(II) and the list of ligands goes on and on and on and on.

Bloody hell! Could these compounds lead me to million bucks? I ask God for this a million times already.

And would you think that I’m a student of BS Metallurgical Engineering of Diliman? I don’t think so, smart ass. I am a BS Bio student would it be nice if we just tackle about coordination compounds AND Organic Chemistry? Argggh.

Things like this keep me more anxious. Anxious not because of my standing, but it’s the retention of all the lessons that I have learned in the whole semester. Dang it!

Tomorrow’s gonna be our second long exam in Bio 3 Lec. Good thing, this subject doesn’t have a final exam. But I haven’t finished on reading those photocopies. Will I ever survive the traumatic days of my life?

The answer is yet to be known- a mysterious, baffling and mystifying answer.

Scatterbrained Conversation

Two boring hours ago, I went to UP because I just want to clear things up. I just learned that the final exam was moved to the 25th of March, which is tomorrow from the original schedule of the 28th of March, which is Friday. The result of the Fourth Long Exam was not yet distributed and I fear that I may not meet the minimum score for the exemption. I'm afraid because:

ONE: I haven't reviewed my past lessons in Math 14, and
TWO: I don't think I could absorb ALL MATH 14 Lessons in just one night. Damn right, cramming IS NOT the best policy.

So I knocked on to the door of DMPCS (Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science) Faculty Room and..

Me: Hi sir, may results na ba sa fourth long?
Sir Tecson: Ahh yes, meron na. Ay, parang 'di ka ata exempted.
Me: Ayyy, patingin! Thank you sir!
(He looked for my bluebook, and I scored 86%)
Sir Tecson: Ayy, exempted ka pala hehe. So ang score mo, 84.91. so 2.0 ang grade mo. PERO, pwede ka magtake ng Finals, dapat 86% and above para 1.75 na final standing mo.
Me: HUWAAAATTT? 84.91?! Sir uy! POINT ZERO NINE nalang, 1.75 na ako!
Sir Tecson: Hahaha. Cge nga, if 87% ang fourth long mo.. (then he did the calculations on the computer and..).. HALA! 85.06 ka na! 1.75 na! Cge, hahanapan kita ng 1 point sa exam.
Me: (in my mind, I just kept saying on these words: SANA MERON, SANA MERON, SANA!)
Sir Tecson: Hmmm. Cge nga, recite the law of sine in words, not in formulas.
Me: (cleared his throat). Okay. WHEEW. The law of sine states that the ratio of the side and its corresponding angle is equal to the (BLAHBLAHBLAH..)
Sir Tecson: Alirght! 1.75 ka na. Wag kanang magtake ng Finals ha? Hehe.
Me: Thank you sir! (I was sooo giddy the moment I stepped out on the faculty room), as if Simon Cowell gave me a welcome ticket to Hollywood. WOOHOO! =))))

So yeah. For those who are exempted of taking the final exam in Math 14, CONGRATULATIONS! And for those who will take the finals tomorrow, GOOD LUCK! :))

The countdown begins NOW. 24 HOURS 'til the 5th long exam in CHEMISTRY.

The Demon of the HOLY WEEK

Easter, also called Pascha, is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crucifixion around AD 33. Many non-religious cultural elements have become part of the holiday, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
Let’s catch some Easter eggs with the help of Easter Bunny, shall we?

Well, this is the first (or second) time that I’ll celebrate Easter at HOME. It’s like, going to Mergrande Ocean Resort would be tiring and oh, I’ve been there every Black Saturday and Easter Sunday since when I was born in this filthy world.

School’s not over yet for me. I still have to endure one more week, which is our final examination. Damn right, I’m tired, but hell, I ain’t gonna waste the last week of my second semester. I should perform WELL on our finals. I do hope I manage to be on the prestigious lists. Honor’s list would be great. DEAN’S LIST IS BETTER. And for the highest rank, the Chancellor’s List, uhhm, yeah, we’ll see on the following semesters! Nyahaha.

Also, today’s Lenten season was the most unique one, so far. Instead of going to the church and recite the Stations of the Cross over and over again, I’m stuck with school works. I need to study my Chemistry, and this Tuesday, it will be our fifth long exam. Damn. I’m half way through with it and good thing (else, I was damn lucky), it would be a group exam. I belonged to the luckiest group. WOOHOO, ‘di ba July? Haha.

I’m done with these topics:

-Metallurgy and its different kinds of processes
- Coordination Compounds: Nomenclature and formula writing of complex ions, Types and Structures Isomers and Biological Compounds.

I still need to read these topics:

-Band theory of Conduction, Insulators, Semiconductors and Doping.
-Crystal Field Theory
-Transition Metals and Functional Groups (Introduction to Organic Chemistry)

Whew. After this, I only need to endure two more semesters of Chemistry! Chemistry is ♥ but I guess this subject really challenged me to READ and READ in advance and motivates me to solve and solve more problems. I think that's more productive than answering those Sudoku puzzles. Hahaha. =)))

Oh yeah, here’s my exam schedule for the finals:

March 25 (Tuesday) – Chem 17 Lec (Fifth Long Exam) – 5:00 – 7:30 pm

March 26 (Wednesday) – Bio 3 Lec (2nd long exam) Animal Portion, 1:00-3:00 pm

March 27 (Thursday) – Chem 17 Lec Final Examination, 1:00 – 3:00 pm

March 28 (Friday)– MST1 (Natural Science 1) – Second Long Exam, 1:00 – 3:00 pm

March 31 (Monday)– AH 3 (Comm 3) – Final Exam – Speech Choir, 10:00 – 12:00 pm

I do hope that I’ll score at least 64% of our Math 14’s the fourth long exam to qualify for exemption in taking the final exam. Keep thy fingers crossed.

Oh yeah! My parents didn’t want me to take the summer class on any GE subjects. It’s an advance class though. They said that I should take a REST this summer. Nangangayat na raw ako because I live in a stressful environment. They have a point but I guess it would be another boring summer for me, I guess. So mom set a deal to me. She will give me 1500 pesos and ako na raw ang bahala sa money, whether I’ll save it or head to the nearest mall and shop ‘til I drop LITERALLY. Well, I think it’s a fair idea.

So for those who already planned to take the summer class especially Joie, Cha, Brigz, Monz, Lilaaiii, Neil and everyone else, I’m sorry. I can’t join your academic adventure.

Good thing, Physics 3 and Filipino 1 were not approved by the College Secretary for the summer class. *Sigh. I think I should be hooked with Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Season Two Plus and American Idol.


BACK TO WORK. I need to finish those prescribed medicated craps on my study table. Blahberry blakeettyy BLAHS.

Uncanny things and thoughts

This TAG is from Lilaaiii:

"SEVEN WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME"

Here Are The Rules:

1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person that tagged you.
2. Post THE RULES on your blog.
3. Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 people and link to them.
5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

One. I sleep more than 14 hours on normal days. Aside from that "amazing" feat, I sleep on only ONE POSITION. Yes, I don't move at all whenever I sleep. I just remain on that certain sleeping position and usually I sleep on my sideways for 14 hours (or, it depends on the duration of my sleep)!

Two. I am a nocturnal being. I usually sleep at 3 am and usually wakes up at noon. It's still normal, NOT!

Three. I had this eekie habit, that is to bite my nail everytime I feel nervous. Sometimes, even if I'm not nervous, I still practice this bad habit. Sometimes, if I'm supple and flexible, I bite my TOENAIL. Yeah yeah, so what. That's me! I'm a weird kiddo. BWAHAHA.

Four. When I was little, I always opt to read books rather than playing those fake and bulky voltes five, ultraman robot toys. But today, I now play with my toys. Most of them are of airplanes and toy trains (with chugachugachoochoo and smoke effects).

Five. When I do something silly in front of the multitude, I just laugh at it and I'll not be ashamed of it. HAHA.

Six. I stare in the mirror for at least SIX HOURS.

Seven. When I'm bored, I just scratch my scalp and look for the biggest dandruff of my life OR, I just eat anything (literally), even if I'm full.

I'm tagging:

Kim Calatrava, Scarlet, Geva, Kimmie Lazo, Ate Gagay, Charlene, and July.

SPECIAL THANKS TO: Lilaaaiii.

►♪♪♫♫♫♪♪♪♪♫◄

Oh yeah. I just received my final standing on Bio 3 Lab, and I was happy by it. I got 95 point something points (perfect score is 100) and I know it would be a GREAT HELP for my lecture's standing. Oh well. Also, my Chemistry was the shittiest of all. It's not my Waterloo though, but hell you can't answer it even if you give your best shot. AT LEAST I passed the three previous long exams. Most of them were of 75's to almost 80's. But, in the 4th long.. hmm.. NEVER MIND. I think the score would be like, the YEAR OF MY LOLA'S BIRTHDAY. Yes. OR, I scored 92 - 92 MISTAKES!!! BWAHAHAHA :)).

DROP THE LOWEST, DROP THE LOWEST, DROP THE LOWEST!

CLASSMATES, let's DEMAND FOR THIS SCHEME! He promised this right??! Oh well, if the 4th long's result will still be counted on computing our lec's standing, I still pass the lecture, to an almost 70. Not bad. I'm still alive. PADAYOOOON. I believe that I scored better on the quizzes and it helps, A LOT. Also, my Chem lab's standing is quite high. HAAAYYYY buhay.

So yeah, next week's gonna be the last exams of our life, or I mean the last exam of the semester (sabaw). The second semester's quite sucky, well during the SECOND HALF of the SEM.

Now, the only problem is: I CAN'T RESIST BLOGGING and NET SURFING. How can I resist it? My study table is just a quarter meter away from my PC. Oh well. At least I have the whole morning and afternoon to study. PIECE OF CAKE (sana.. and I'm biting my nail, again. EEWW). A few hours ago, we just went to McDo just to unwind ourselves from STRESS. YES! Let's EEEAAAT!

♥ PAPARA-PAPA! LOVE KO 'TO! ♥

A FIGHT against STRESS

Every teen nowadays, most especially the college students experience accumulated stress, sleepless nights and most of all, dreadful eye bags. Cramming is not an excuse because we all know that responsibility plays a major role on to it. BUT HELL, we just can’t avoid cramming right? It’s just we had to deal with tremendous loads of school works, projects and other “unnecessary” stuffs (you know what I mean kiddo) that we opt to do first than the former, which is more important. It’s not plausible to say that “I’m stressed because of those useless dimwits blah blah.” That’s crap, you know.

Personally, I’ve tried numerous ways to have myself unwound from my stressful environment.

♫ Listen to ENYA’S New Age songs. I mean, even if you’re not an avid fan of Enya, you’ll feel relaxed and enthralled, I tell you. If you happened to be an ignorant about the existence of Enya (evil laugh), here’s a sample, kiddo:

There are several reasons why you should LOVE Enya! =)). Or if you really don’t like her, try other artists which you find relaxing and interesting. It’s your choice.

♫ Travel. Traveling is an expensive stress reliever and also it’s a time consuming activity. This is a perfect choice if you’re finally through with the last exam of your life (or last exam of the semester, hahaha). Don’t forget to bring your digital cameras/video cameras with you to capture those precious moments!

I just want to travel in:

Ilocos Norte/Sur, Siargao Island, Leyte, Macau, Hongkong and Batanes.

These photos were taken from Ilocos Norte, courtesy of Kiko Castillo. Thanks!

BTW, traveling is one of my greatest frustrations, next to singing and dancing. Darn, if only I had a million bucks. **sigh**.

♫ Eat. Eating, for me is the best stress reliever. Also, I tend to eat MORE if I’m depressed. Bwahahaha =)). Chocolates can make your mood better and it relaxes your tired mind. A cold frap does the same thing and study shows that caffeine has more benefits than any other organic substances present in natural tea. If you’re broke, literally, then try Bananas. According to an infamous feasible study, bananas had effects similar with chocolates. It can also boost memory, in a natural way! Does SAGING ring a bell? This is not a problem to me since I had an ultra fast metabolic rate. I don’t worry much of my figure though =)). Go nuts, Bananas!


♫ Just sleep. Usually, during the exam week, I averaged four and half hours of sleep, and damn, that’s not enough! I’m the type of person who loves to SLEEP. I can’t concentrate if I only had two to three hours of sleep. Hindi ko yan kaya, my gulay!

♫ Blog about anything under the sun! This would help especially if you’re suffering from information overload. Haha. Mind you this really works. You have a choice though whether the post would be a public or a private one or if you want to be more dramatic, why not waste (oops, sorry for the wrong term) your G-tech pen and your scented paper on writing your random thoughts. Both of them help on removing stress on your body system.

I just want to share these to you my friend, and maybe this would help you, or not. At least, I only had two and a half remaining stressful weeks to deal with. Summer is in, and school’s out! Woohoo!


Tres is equal to Uno. Yes.

Now, I’m craving for an ice cream and Neil’s specialty, which is fried pancit canton. Good thing, mom bought these two items yesterday. Yeehah.

How about you, smarty pants? What are your ways to relieve yourself from STRESS? C’mon! Tell me. =))

C'MON, MAMON !!!

One thing that I hate about myself is that I easily get frustrated when things aren’t in smooth pace. I mean, opportunity’s already on my side but still I didn’t grab it. I was unconscious by its feeble presence. I just hate it. I just waste my time over a few unnecessary things. I don’t have this so called “time management”. I opt to stress myself more than do the other way around. Things like that. The result wasn’t bad AFTER ALL, but the thing is, I just wasted the opportunity. Sayang. All I can do right now is to waste my time again, thinking about the past and the ways of improving my crappy destiny. Alright, that’s enough. According to my English teacher way back in high school, thinking about these unnecessary thoughts is useless. We can’t do anything about the past, because PAST is PAST. Crap. I wish I had a great mind and skill to invent a portable time machine. If I want to be more magical and more creative, then I go for Hermione’s time traveling pendant, I think. Was it a pendant or a clock pendant? Whatever!


I hope that I can accomplish something good. I had wished for that since the start of the race. Hopefully I'll finish it with a sweet smile. I JUST HOPE that the race wouldn’t be that bitter compared to the previous season. I just hate the previous season. Takteng butakte.


Oh yeah, good thing, Manoy moved the deadline of our project in Nat Sci. 1. YEEHAH! Workload for this weekend will not be that heavy, at least. Oh God. At last! We’re finally through with our report in Nat Sci 1. YEAH! Also, Manoy gave a compliment about our report and yeah, it was a good and inspiring one, despite on our “kakornihans” during our discussion. This is a sample of our “kakornihan”:

YEAH YEAH. Thanks to Alvin, we got the attention of the audience. :)))).

So yeah, BACK TO WORK kiddo, or else.
