SILLY childhood memories and MORE

As usual, I surfed the internet, watched THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW for 6 times in a row (I'm planning to watch it again and again, the reason? I'm a frustrated CLIMATOLOGIST haha), and propagated a unicameral form of idiosyncrasy occurring malevolently in the meritorious piece of the clusterubial part of my brain - in short, nakatunganga sa hangin. Haay.

My mom's students (she's running a tutorial center) arrived EARLY. Very early. Little did I know, it was their finals week today, so I had to turn off the computer. After that, it was not a boring day for I just recollected my old, silly childhood days.

Let me have this opportunity to share this with you guys. You may laugh at my story, but hell all of these stories are true and the accuracy of this would be probably 99.99%. So, here it goes.



[x] When I was one a half year old,my mom took me to the airport for we'll board a plane enroute to Zamboanga. That was my first time to ride on a plane. It's neither an airbus nor a 747 jumbo jet; it was a Philippine Airline's Fokker plane. I remembered that I really wanted to enter the XRAY machine because I was mesmerized by its unusual form and its mechanics. Mom clutched my wrist so hard that I cried in the airport in a scandalous approach. Yucks nakakahiya.


[x] Since birth, I'm a computer FREAKAZOID. I used to play Super Mario and outsmart my 21 year old uncle (He's 38 today).


[x] My mom named me Renz Marione but she's fond of calling me Maru instead of my first name. YUCKYUCKYUCK! Kaya, whenever we had our annual reunion on both mother and father side, I could easily tell and pinpoint kung sino ang mga childhood friends ko when I was a baby 'til three years old. Eeek.


[x] Whenever my mom scolds me because I did something wrong, I usually call my ATTORNEY. Yes, my attorney **SLASH** my daddy (my grandpa sa father side). My daddy would automatically defend me even if I'm wrong and mom was right. Haay. That's the primary reason why we left our grandparent's house for good and moved to a house that's far, far, far, far, far away from their wrath. =))


[x] Because my dad’s frequently away from home because of his demanding job, I usually get sick if I didn’t see him for at least a week. And the only remedy? Lagyan ng mga shirts ni papa sa ilalim ng pillow ko. And it works. IT REALLY WORKS.


[x] I used to be VERY, VERY TALKATIVE the moment I learned how to speak in simple ENGLISH sentences. I think I was two years old at that time. So, mom decided to train me, which to recite a poem, LITTLE BOY BLUE. Man oh man. I memorized the whole poem in just a few days. She also taught me how to sing a few nursery rhymes like Twinkle twinkle little Star, Jack and Jill, Fly, fly, fly the butterfly, Humpy Dumpy, Sampung Palaka and many more.


[x] As early as two years old, I acquired an inquisitive and curious mind of a scientist/Biologist. I’m fond of collecting lady bugs and after I’m through on investigating those insects and got bored with it, I threw them into a grassy marsh (don’t worry, they fly). Also I used to collect and trap BIG grasshoppers on a home made cage. My daddy accompanies me whenever I want to catch another set of flying creatures.


[x] My daddy’s an engineer – CIVIL ENGINEER to be more specific. Whenever I’m naughty, he’ll draw a big cockroach on a bond paper and he’ll show his masterpiece to me. Ayun, effective! Biglang takbo like Flash and hide under those thick bedsheets of mine. Heehee.


[x] Because of curiosity, I nailed a large staple bullet on an electric socket, then after a few seconds, I hid under my study table. And for the reason? The electric socket blew and smoke billowed my room. Amoy sunog. The electric current sparked in a malevolent way. Crazy little fella. Strike one.


[x] When I was three, I was accused of a perfidious crime, and that is MURDER. I killed three pregnant goldfish. I slaughtered them by flooding loaf breads on the fishbowl. Ayun, di cguro kinaya ang tinapay, namatay. Boink. Strike two.


[x] I used to be “suplado” (until now, but minsan ‘pag wala sa mood). The story goes like this. My mommy (grandmother) fetched me at school and she brought along some of her friends. One of her friends asked me in cutie-cutie-gootchie-dada manner, “Uyyy, ano ang name mo? Ang cute cute mo talaga!”, then I uninterestedly replied, “Tingnan mo nalang ID ko, nanjan ang name ko (Just look at my ID, my name’s inscribed on it).” Then she commented, “Ay, ang suplado! Hahaha. Kanino kaya nyan nag-mana?” and my lola just replied a big smile. Then off we went to McDonald’s to eat and buy ANOTHER SET of happy meal. I used to be a spoiled brat to my grandparents when I was young.


[x] I was born in this filthy world with a thick face. That’s right! Since birth, makapal na talaga ang pagmumukha ko. It goes like this. When I was celebrating my second birthday, we were still at Zamboanga and we attended a fancy program at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University’s auditorium. The show presented mascots of various cartoon characters of which I love and adore like Tom and Jerry and Ninja Turtles. Due to sheer exhilaration and anticipation, I ran towards the stage in the middle of the program. The program was on a brink to failure because I ruined it. I was the center of attraction because I danced like a fool. They just laughed on me, and I don’t really care. I just enjoyed my shining moment at that time. After that, I went down the stage, people gave me applause and sat down on a chair beside my mom as if nothing happened a few minutes ago. I was even featured on TV (TV Patrol Western Mindanao)!


[x] Aside from being talkative, I’m fond of inventing words - words of my own language. Kulang nalang may RENZY language na sa world and soon I’ll publish my very own dictionary! Words like Gatchanparry, Bagul, Loolooness Asimpiyu, Bugo, Utan, gusto (I prounounce that word as JUSTO), MMMbelt are products of my wildest imaginations. Gatchanparry refers to a house, Bagul of Bugo to slippers, Loolooness Asimpiyu to Looney Tunes, Utan to idunno (haha, nalimutan ko na), MMMbelt for “asan ang belt ko?”.


Haaay. Now I realized why I’m such a silly, big monster ‘til now.

SATURDAY night FEVER

After last night's Kasadya Festival 2007, which we had our exchange of gifts, we decided that the gang should have a Christmas Party - a party that everyone can enjoy. Initial plans were quite expensive (KTv Bars and etc), so we ended up on the idea of a cool house party which will be held at Mon's house. His parents agreed so we planned to meet at the Convenience Store located near the entrance of SM Village.

Saturday came and I was not that excited. Seems like an ordinary day for me. Then when I arrived, I saw the folks, and after that, we headed straight to Mon’s crib. YAHOO!

Well, all we did was to play, and play, took numerous pictures on our digicams and cellphones. Some played the body twisting game, which is the TWISTER (I played this strenuous activity which I enjoyed the most), some played the tic-tac-toe, Ina, Cha and Lianne (with the help of others) prepared and cooked our dinner, Mon and Mark together with Yuri played the PS2 with the game Naruto, me playing Mon’s piano and others just talked and talked and talked in an endless manner.

Mga Reyna ng Kusina


Busy sa laptop.


THE GAME OF TWIST and TURNS


Picture before dinner


Me, playing the piano - APOLOGIZE


mga addict sa NARUTO


TIC-TAC-FLOWER


It's pretty obvious that we’re totally diversed! May sariling mundo ika nga. Haha. Parang otistik. Naks naman. But take note, we’re not. Absolutely not.

Good thing, Mark brought his Magic Sing Karaoke Set and we sang ‘til the rain fell so hard for a short period of time. But due to certain technical problem, we didn’t used nor abused Mark’s Magic Sing.

We ate in a constant manner, like those junkfoods and by 6.30, dinner was served. Obviously, we didn’t serve pork since Mon is a Muslim. We just ate chiken adobo and pancit. Yumyum. It was so delicious. I was full and may fruit salad pa! Wow. Talking about the tremendous, big appetite of thriving and stressed teenagers like us!

We also watched a funny and light movie, Bring It On. We all just laughed until the movie ended.

There were no dull moments in our party and everything was in a smooth pace. By 10 in the evening, we decided to pack our things. We bade goodbye, greeted each other a happy Christmas then off we went to the waiting shed where we waited for our respective jeepneys. Actually, there’s a waiting shed but we didn’t used it at all! Wala lang, since di naman umuulan, so I guess it’s pointless to use that thing. Anyways, we had a hard time to find a jeep since it was already late. God, nakasakay pa kami and I went home safe and sound.

As I was driving the HH, I gazed at the twilight sky and was awestruck by billions of stars twinkling and shining in an endless manner. I remembered that my friend once told me that real friends are like those stars in the night sky, which keeps on watching you and they’re significant in our life. For the last two months I was on the verge to transfer in UP Manila/Diliman, of course with the same degree. But because of them, I found a place in which I could share my thoughts, laughter and cries in a carefree manner. Of course, I would NEVER, EVER FORGET my almost 13 years of stay on my previous home, SMAD.

Haay. 12.14.07. Saturday. Sabado. Surely, I will never forget this wonderful day.

Home Sweet Home.

Tatlong Araw

Tatlong Araw.

Three days.

It's been a while since my last post. Well, it's been a long, long terrible yet exciting day. Why?

Let's start with Tuesday. It's my 1st long exam on Biodiversity (Bio 3) and Trigonometry (Math 14). Since I didn't study in an extensive manner (I just surfed the net then study, then net surfing again), I'm not that confident to answer those exams. We took the Math exam first and luckily it wasn't that HARD.

On that day, I didn't expect that we would dissect a frog (I thought It's on Thursday). Good thing, Joie lent me her lab gown. Yehey. So, we took the "surgery-like" scissor, a some sort of wax plate, our respective scalpels and our main subject for our autopsy este experiment, OUR FROG. We named her MARIMAR with no VALID reasons. Wala lang. Trip lang namin siyang ipangalan kay Marimar. Hahaha. Afterwhich we cut and tore off the rough, wart-filled skin of our specimen. Man, I really enjoyed this experiment. I feel like a surgeon! Hahaha. Oh well. (Please refer to my album for MORE pictures on this experiment. Thanks).

We were dismissed early on our Bio 3 Lab, so we headed to the canteen. BUT WAIT! It was RAINING so hard at that time and boy, I didn't brought my jacket. I just brought only my crappy umbrella with me. So we ran, nakishare ng payong with Aidz and Ralph, jumped through those pesky puddles, nag-agawan ng payong para hindi mabasa, ate our lunch, then went back to the campus again, bravely ventured the rain and finally, got soaked with the rain (sa sideways nga lang because tatlo kaming nag-share sa isang napakaliit na payong ni Aidz).

Oh well, I had no choice but to cram. It was 5 minutes before our long exam on Bio 3. Boy oh boy, If I indulge myself to Campbell, I should memorize all these facts and etc. Okay. Bahala na si batman and Bathala. Stock knowledge nalang ang gamitin =(. The exam was moderately hard. During the exam, I should answer the easiest questions before I proceed to the more difficult question. Strategy, ika nga. Shoot! I only answered 3 out of questions on the multiple choice portion and only 3 out of ten questions in the essay SLASH enumeration portion. Mycorrhiza, Lichens, sino ka??? Haay. Luckily I remembered both of them after a few minutes of thinking and pondering to the wall. I managed to answer all questions in the exam. But I was quite dissapointed with the Bonus portion. I know the answer but I'm doubtful with its spelling! Haaay. This is a fact that I should remember throughout my lifetime - Poinsettia spells THIS way not POINSSETTIA. What an ass! Tuloy, wala na akong additional 5 points nang dahil sa isang S!

Oh yeah, the result for the Nat.Sci I exam was released on this day and I got 91/105. Haay. If only di ako nagpakatanga sa answer ko, I should get 96/105. Oh well papel. At least line of nine pa rin. =) And due to heavy rain, di ako makauwi. So me, Ralph and Sheara decided to join the Nat.Sci 2 class (MST 2). Naki-sit in lang kami sa kanila and the subject was an interesting one. Maybe I should take this for the next semester. HOPEFULLY.

I had only 3 hours of sleep, but guess what?? I drank a glass of cold cappuccino. That was the most delicious cappuccino that I've ever tasted. My aunt gave me one sachet of Korean Cappuccino. Haay. But hell, the effect of caffeine worked for 5 hours or so, then I'm getting sleepy and tired. I need to sleep. Pronto. Huhu. I just studied my Chem 17 for just 2 hours, and mind you, kulang pa yan! Oh well. Bahala na talaga.

Yes. The day had finally arrived. Long exam ng nakapapraning na subject (though I really love chemistry but the lesson's get more complicated, but nevertheless, I JUST LOVE this subject. That's all). Okay okay. Thank God. The exam was EASY. DAMN EASY. It's my second time na nakatapos ng long exam sa chem. Haay. I retrieved my Chem exam result moments ago and I got 75%! YES. OH YEEEES.

Haaay. Supposedly walang klase today because of the Nationwide Strike, but di naman kasali ang HH drivers, so tuloy pa rin ang academic life dito sa UP. =) I had only one class today and the rest of the subjects, puro "see you next year" ang drama =). Hahahha.

I could hardly wait for Christmas. But I'll still be busy this Christmas break since we had a LONG QUIZ on Chem 17. Break a LEG to myself.

Have a Happy Christmas everyone!.

Starbright, Starlight, STARDUST



Last night, instead of studying Biodiversity, Chemistry and Trigonometry, I chose to watch STARDUST. I've heard this movie from my friends a month ago and they said that it was a great movie. So I bought a pirated dvd of this movie and yes, my friends were right, DEFINITELY RIGHT. It's not your ordinary fairy tale with a typical plot and ending, it was categorically an EXTRAORDINARY FAIRY TALE.

Okay so much for that. I need to get back to my super nerd lifestyle. Exams would be this Tuesday and Wednesday and I haven't started yet; I didn't dare nor care to read those thick books of mine (though, I've read them last week). Hopefully, I'll start by 1.30 pm.

And what am I doing right now? I'm DOWNLOADING the whole OST Soundtracks of STARDUST. Hahaha. I haven't eaten my lunch nor took my bath yet (yuck). Oh my.

Man, is this ME?

ONE Smell - Oh - Rama Day

Thursday.


We didn't have our lecture on our Math 14 Class and our professor didn't gave us ANY exercises or whatsoever notes in his bulletin board. I checked the Department of Physics and Mathematics and Computer Science's (DPMCS's) bulletin board - and there was nothing! WALA!


He only gave an assignment to his CMSC56 (ComSci 56) class. Oh well. All we did was to talk and talk and joke and talk again and then draw those protists and then talk in an endless manner. We just stayed sa labas ng lobby ng CSM. haha =)


Then Ma'am Pakdat arrived and pinahiram ko siya ng 10 pesos due to the "change **slash** coin" scarcity of Manong HH driver. Haaay.


We had an experiment in our Bio 3 Lab and yeah, we just drew some of the plants given by our lab teacher. July took a picture of herself and out of nowhere Ma'am Pakdat joined her AND SO DO I. WE'RE CERTIFIED CAMWHORES! yahoo! and this is the product of our "kabulastugan". PRUWEBA!



That's July on the left, ME at the center, and Ma'am Pakdat on the right.

Alright. Due to intense boredom, The two M&M's - Mark and Mon had this brilliant idea:


They literally cooked the Calachuchi flower, the Zea mays seed AKA corn /slash/ mais and a pinch of rice grain in a laboratory broiler (I forgot the name basta it looks like a typical broiler sa inyong kusina).


Man. The smell. THE AROMA of the popcorn makes me feel hungrier. Then we had lunch. I ate two cups of rice and pork-pork something viand. Basta, I didn't care kung ano ang ulam ko, all I really need was to EAT and EAT and EAT. Then poof! Nalibre pa ako ni Ma'am Pakdat ng LUNCH! I thought she'll just repay me the 10 peso-coin, but instead, nalibre pa niya ako! WEE.


Then we had our Bio 3 Lec. May God. 1:00-2:30 pm makes me oh-so SLEEPY. Good thing I read the lesson in advance and our professor would send us the handouts for her lectures anyway, so I decided to sleep. Ayay! Tinulugan lang ang Biodiversity. Togsh. At the middle of Ma'am Novie's lecture, I smelled something that is QUITE unusual. A foul, malodorous and fetid smell. Somebody inflicted a putrid, odorous smell in an air conditioned room! My God somebody FARTED and it smelled bad - REALLY BAD


Shyyeet.


ANG BAHO! We all just laughed and kung sino man ang umutot kahapon, MAHIYA KA!


Well, next class was AH3 / Comm3 - and I REALLY WANT TO SLEEP NA! I NEED COFFEE! PRONTO! Then Ilearned that there's a free ice cream for everyone! Weee. I felt alive after I consume the entire ice cream! At ako'y nabuhayan ng dahil sa ice cream. Aba. Aba! Does ice cream nowadays contain caffeine? Nah. It's just a placebo - a mere psychological effect. IMAGINATION. Nananaginip nang gising.


During the Comm 3 lecture, all I did was to review for our next class' exam - MST1 or NatSci 1. Ay ewan ko bah. We just had a lecture abuot those communication stuffs. (peace to Sir Dennis! =])



And yeah, we took the exam and it's pretty easy but I made a simple mistake. Aynakungbataka!


Then, the WHOLE BsBio family went in a certain laboratory para gumawa ng isang kakaibang obra-maestra -- A CHRISTMAS BELEN! This was made for our upcoming Kasadya parade this coming December 14.


I didn't the group since I don't like the smell of rotting newspapers and the place was quite dusty and I'm so allergic to it. So I went to the Admin. Building to celebrate Chippy's AKA Krista's 17th birthday. Weee. God. It's my first time - first time to be drunk and tipsy. I don't like the feeling. It's not because of any alcoholic drinks, but because of those tremendous, uber delicious Red Ribbon Cakes! My God! I ate 4 slices of red ribbon choco-caramel cake. We also drank Welch's grape-flavored carbonated juice. Yeah.


When I went home, I just took a quixk shower then I immediately went into deep slumber. 8:00 pm - TOO EARLY.


Then, kanina lang, at 5:00 am, I smelled another intriguing aroma. No it's not the aroma of popcorn nor the aroma of the natural FART (eeeww). Yep! It's the smell of burnt plastic. Haay kawawa. It goes like this:


My dad was still sleepy and groggy when he reheated the viand last night nang dumikit ang isang plastic thing. Ayun. The entire huose smelled like a plastic factory.


Haay buhay. I smell something fishy right now. It's 6:08 am and two and a half hours from now, I'm gonna report for our PPT presentation in our Chem 17 class. Oh yeah. No Chem 17 lab for this day! So, my class would only be 8:30-10:00 am (Chem 17 lec) and 2:30-3:30 for my PE 2 Table Tennis. Yikes. I-absent ko nalang ang PE. Tinatamad kasi ako eh. HAHAHA.


Hopefully, this would be my first and last absence on Super Mario's PE class. Haha. =)

bloody wednesday


First of all, I shouldn't have written this blog post.
I should have studied my lessons, finish all those crappy home works and sleep for at least 8 hours.

But what motivates me to do such crime?

It's because of one certain subject. I mean, yeah, I had no choice but to search and skim those distracting websites, endure the searing brightness of the LCD monitor for almost 10 hours and suffer from sleepless hours.

I feel like a robot today.

I'm typing this post in a hasty manner - 1000 words per second, literally. So if you found some of my sentences contain MINOR grammatical errors, just leave them. What’s important is that you can STILL comprehend my sentences, from its simplest tenses, to verbs and its structure. Got it?

Well, enough of that disclaimer thing.

I just realize that whenever I log on to the cyberworld, well for academic purposes, I don’t go directly to Wikipedia or to the google/yahoo toolbar. Instead, I usually open my Friendster account, multiply account, Blogger account, Imeem, Limewire, Bearshare, shocks ang dami!

I can’t help myself. Tao rin ako. And it’s quite strenuous and demanding if I just open those IMPORTANT things in the cyberworld (when I say important, it’s REALLY REALLY important; more on needs not wants). But what am I doing today? I’m blogging just to release my tension, anxiety and stress that had kept on battling my adrenaline cells for weeks already! My God! Fortunately, I’m done with my three difficult assignments in Chemistry; I had only one left to finish ‘til tomorrow night – Power Point presentation of our report (and we had the most difficult topic in the class).

And what’s with Wednesday? Think again! Every Wednesday and Friday, from 8.30-10.00 am, we suffer from mental cataclysm. Yes, and I really mean MENTAL CATACLYSM. Why is that so? I dunno.


The sinister-like presence of room 112 makes our nerves and adrenaline to work harder and harder until our hearts palpitate because of sheer antagonism, animosity, tenseness and uneasiness.



Fortunately, naubos na yan lahat. Right now, we feel cold, a very cold soul as if we had no hearts and feelings. An alien-like behavior; so disturbing!

And why I’m writing this? It’s simply because I’m perplexed with my own self. Everyday, I just kept on pondering if I could surpass these challenges. I don’t know. I’m optimistic, so kaya ko toh!

A glass of cold homemade frapuccino could make me relaxed – relaxed as a calm, tranquil wind.


Serendipity. Serenity. Ako’y nabighani sa liwanag ng parisukat na buwan. Crazy.

DAMN CRAZY.

i am waiting



COLORS OF CHRISTMAS
**please click the play button**


Traveling down the silvery street
Wrapping around and around while we sing
There's not in there lights it's so lovely to see
They're like beautiful stars on a Christmas Tree
We're stringing the popcorn
So yellow and yummy
Bring the red santa with the jiggling tummy
Here's a white angel, as pure as a snow
Bells and porridge in gold, are hanging below


The colors of Christmas
I'll wait for them every year
The colors of Christmas
are so beautiful and clear
The colors of Christmas
I pray for them that you'll see
But the prettiest colors of them all
Around on your Christmas Tree


Take a look down the neighborhood street
See the colorful smiles and the people you'll meet
And for every window or every wall
They're dragging the tree, like we did on our home!
Pink, purple, brown, black, yellow and gray
A rainbow of reindeer, a silvery sleigh
Every different kind of color you'll see
Live together in peace on our Christmas Tree


The colors of Christmas
I'll wait for them every year
The colors of Christmas
are so beautiful and clear
The colors of Christmas
I pray for them that you'll see
But the prettiest colors of them all
Around on your Christmas Tree


Oh Christmas tree, oh christmas tree, our leaves are so unchanging
Oh Christmas tree, oh christmas tree, our leaves are so unchanging
Your boughs are green in sommers glow, and do not fade in winters snow
Oh Christmas tree, oh christmas tree, with faithful leaves unchanging

The colors of Christmas
I pray for them that you'll see
But the prettiest colors of them all
Around on your Christmas Tree
Around on your Christmas Tree..


Twenty four
divided by two is twelve.
Twenty four days before Christmas and still counting.
Two weeks before the Christmas break, and I can't hardly wait.

169th post on blogger, 325th something on multiply.

Since almost everyone had posted some melodramatic (heehee ^_^) christmas list, I shall made my own list. Hindi rin ako magpapatalo noh! Well, here it is:


I WISH THAT / FOR:


[x] an MacBook Pro or any Compaq laptop. I badly need this thing. (Though, mom promised me that she'll buy a laptop for me probably next year, and I can't hardly wait).

[x] a power to manipulate the mind of those terror professors. (I think s/he's only my problem)

[x] I have the time-traveling gadget of Hermione. Ooooh. If I could turn back time, I shall fix those dilemmas that shouldn't be happening today in my life.

[x] Money. I really need money. Oh please mom-oh and dad-oh! Gimme some cash!

[x] Snow. It is believed that because of the movement of the Philippine plate, the Philippines will move gradually into the direction of northeast and for the next 50 million years, the location of the Philippines will be situated near the coast of Tokyo, Japan. Enough of those dorky facts. Pfff.
[x] I could Speak French, Italian and German FLUENTLY.

[x] my blog would be famous WORLWIDE.

[x] WORLD PEACE. Duuh.

[x] to be TALLER. A hundred sixty-eight centimeter frame is not ENOUGH for me. Haahaa.

[x] to be like Rainman.

[x] INDEPENDENCE and SOVEREIGNTY.


Christmas is coming. And I feel tormented right at this moment. Inggit ako sa kapatid ko, because he's sleeping, and he's snoring. Mabuti pa siya. He still have two and a half years before he will suffer this kind of situation. Being tortured academically, socially and mentally is not advisable for happy teenagers and/or college students like me. There's no learning process for it though it motivates you to strive more. Besides, professors in my university are impress with no one EXCEPT if you have an excellent thesis - excellent in a sense that your thesis would be delivered to different parts of the world like Hawaii, California, Japan and Geneva, Switzerland.

Coffee, coffee, baloney. God help us.

Buhay pa tayo

Familiar? Yep. It's VERY familiar. It's the last blog title on Julia Campbell's blog dated on January 13, 2007. Yes. I'm still alive. Distress call. May day, may day. Tower. May day!

It was Wednesday. And during this day, we REALLY don't like the time from 8.30 am to 10.00 am. Why? Just refer to my previous blog posts. Arrghh. The moment I arrived at school, some of my classmates saw him rode an HH enroute to the Administration Building. He was called by the chancellor regarding the issue last Friday. I really don't know, he just bluntly said in front of us:

"somebody told the chancellor about what happened last Friday. And I'm not afraid. I really don't care."


Nonsense. We could barely feel his nervousness when he talks about it. Hmmm. BTW, we had a long quiz and we didn't expect the type of quiz that we took hours ago. And then, he made a deal for those who didn't attend his "class" last "Friday" - we should make a three-page essay with a topic of the achievements and shortcomings of our present chancellor and its impact to the students. Shit. And if we could pass this, tatanggalan ng fifty points sa long exam para sa mga nakapunta last Friday (supposedly, classes were REALLY suspended because of chancey's dialogue.) but if we fail to that, they can still have their 50 point-incentive on our first long exam. We asked them first. Some of them quoted that he's REALLY unfair. They pitied us. Some were on a 50-50 condition. And for others, an additional 50 points in a long exam would be a GREAT HELP for them.

Haaay. ano bah? We're stucked in a new strain of academic slash social crisis. Dilemma strikes back. Not only that, we were given TREMENDOUS LOADS of assignments. Here are those excruciatingly hard assigments (when I say hard, I really mean it -- for we couldn't understand any single element in our lesson because he really doesn't know how to teach. Pa-impress lang ang alam):


-Explain the physical phenomena of FIREWORKS quantum mechanically.

-Differentiate Phosphorescence and Fluorescence quantum mechanically.

-Explain why do chlorophyll A & B pigments displayed a green color when it's subjected to visible light while when it's exposed to UV light, it turns to red.

**Explain with diagram, 1111 (1-inch boundary for all sides), font 12, times new roman, SINGLE SPACED, with diagram.


And THAT'S NOT ALL! There's more!


He also assigned reporters for the next meeting. SADLY, our group got the most difficult topic subjected to reporting, and that is:

-Diagonal relationships and inert pair effect.


Haaaay. I used to love chemistry since third year, and now, I still LOVE chem, but the problem is, it's the professor itself. Hayyy. And he likes to quote this:

"LIFE is UNFAIR. You should deal with it."


Yeah. You mentioned that boring saying since last sem. Booo.


BTW. I was about to board the outgoing jeepney enroute to Mintal when Mikko and Adrian called me. They wanted me to join the Math Mania Quiz Bee. Both of them are really GOOD at MATH. When I say GOOD, it means that both of them got a grade of UNO (flat one) in their Math subject last sem. May gawd. Well, how about me? Just a plain DOS. At first, I was quite hesitant to join the quiz bee since I'm not good on speed problems. I'm good at math but I suck when it comes to speed. It usually takes time for me to analyze any mathematical problem.

Parang nabunutan din ako ng tinik when I've learned that 50% would be a math-related question, then the remaining 50% would cover current events, entertainment, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, General Information and so much more. I was quite nervous at that time because nahihiya ako, baka wala akong masagot kahit isang question man lang, baka wala akong kwentang groupmate. But I was wrong. I still managed to answer 3 math questions during the quiz bowl. Of course, I didn't fail to answer those science-related questions. Hehehhe. At least nakatulong ako sa aking group.


Yes. Muli akong nabuhayan ng loob. because I won 66 pesos! Yebah. Gawin ang lahat para lang sa pera! Yikes.


Buhay pa tayo. We're still alive right at this moment. We never knew the language of giving up. We're fighters. And he's just an overweight tiger.

We even won the quiz bowl -- we garnered the second place. And we won 200 pesos (as a group) plus certificates.
