Burst of Inspiration
Damn, I feel so inspired.. Hehehe... I kinda wonder why though, since I've been through the lowest of pits just yesterday.. Oh well, here I actually am thinking of a new essay and a new poem to write... I already have the themes, hope my muses are with me right now... Heheh guess that's it.. You could expect an essay by Thursday, and a poem by next week.. Have to make it as perfect as possible since I rarely write these sort of things nowadays.. Be seeing all of you soon. Godbless us all ^_^
P.S.
To Jackie, hello rin poh ^_^ Pasensya na kung di ko natag sa board mo na nag-update na ko.. Lage ko rin kase nakakalimutan, tsaka hindi ako makatag dito sa bahay.. Miss you more than words can say, hehe kase ikaw na lang ata di ko pa nakikita for the past year (and hindi natetext at that).. I really hope magkita tayo sa reunion.. ^_^ God bless you, and goodluck sa finals ^_^
To Winnie, nabasa mo na ba rep ko?? It's somewhere down there in my post, but tulad nga ng sinabi ko, I can't tag over my board (in fact sa lahat ng boards) so pinost ko na lang reply ko.. Just to reiterate it, hindi ko sure kung anong date, what I know is that it's set at the end of April kaya surely lahat tayo makakaatend. Likewise, goodluck din sa finals ^_^
Disappointments Part II
Dang, could you believe that there is actaully a sequel to one of my previous posts??? Dammit! Nobody imagined something like this would happen; and nobody liked it either..
As anticipated, all our trigo grades fell by at least .25.. Note: ALL, which means that nobody scored anything higher than 1.5,... Dammit.. Of course, everybody kinda expected that, so although it was a blow to all of us, we merely flinched from it, if you will.. Our section suffered some casualties yet again, two, in fact, which is so damn annoying at that.. This was merely an appetizer though..
Since I really don't want to go through five hours of poor time usage (what was the word for it?? it was a spelling word back in my days at cksc... getting old) I'll fast forward everything to 2:30 pm..
When our very "dear" professor finally arrived for our consultation, (he is an hour and a half late, by the way), everyone kinda anticipated a grade of 2, maybe a bit of 2.25, or at the very least, 2.5.. In fact, we, that is to say, my fellow male classmates, even had a little bet.. Since it was a pretty much known fact that our professor is a "pedophile", and a bit (hrmm, do i understate it??) of a maniac, we bet that our girl classmates would get a score of at least 1.5, while we guys would get at least 2.5.. Well, at least that was what we expected, since our scores (in our drawing plates) toggled between 3 and 4, which is basically equivalent to 2, and 2.5 in the five point system... Guess what?? We were way off..
Way way off...
By how much you ask? If you were to tell me 75% of the class would score 3 in the final grade, I would have initially told you you were insane.. But would you know it? I would actually be eating my words by now and tell everyone how great of a seer you are...
Yeah you read it right.. 75% of the class scored 3.. One guy scored 1.75, a few scored 2.5 ( I think 4 ), another four scored 2.75, another four failed and 34 of the class scored 3... Including me..
Dammit! My DL-ship!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... As in I wanted to choke him on the spot... Dammit, dammit dammit.. So annoying.. I can't stress this enough.. But it's just that nobody could actually believe it.. All of us had our mouths open for at least a whole minute... Some went ballistic, some cried, some cursed, some just kept silent.. But one thing was unanimous: we were all disappointed.. I mean, sheters... Would you expect that?? And from what other sections who were likewise handled by him, he also gave similar marks to them.. Talk about merciless...
Of course, on a lighter note, I passed my theo (I always get nervous over the slightest things, guess I'm a catastrophiser), and nobody seemed to have failed in it, but dang... Brutal.... No other word for that..
Then, there's this Mam Callangan that I talked about last time who was one of the most irresponsible professors of all, remember her?? Annoyingly, she announced that her consultaion was supposed to be held today, 3 pm, just right after our drawing consultation.. Guess what?? BINGO: NO SHOW AGAIN.. Dammit.. I would have understood why she no-showed last Friday, but today??? IMO, she shouldn't have announced it if she had other commitments.. I mean, she could have postponed our consultation til next time if she had to attend to something and we would have understood.. But what does she do?? She has a deceased relative (bless his or her soul) in whose rites she probably has to attend to, and yet she declares a consultation period, and no shows it????? Who does she think she is playing with us like that??!! Dammit!! Then she announces our consultation will be tomorrow 2pm??? Dammit I'm not going to attend her freaking consultation.. For all we know, she'll no-show it for the third time..
By the way, to Sze, I've asked around and nobody seems to know of any summer thingy you talked to me about earlier... You sure it's this summer?? What I know is that it was already held a few months ago.... Try to ask ICS guys like Jerick, maybe he knows something I don't... Best of luck to you..
Oh well, I'm too pooped to type anything more.. Hope all you guys have a better fate than I did, better grades and all that.. Also hope you could retain your DL ship.. I swear I'll demolish second year's calculus, which weighs a heavy 5 units, and physics... Darn..
Til here. God bless y'all ^_^ Have a pleasant night everyone.. ^_^
Quick Update
Yeah I know I shouldn't be here, but I am.. Guess my nervousness is getting the better of me again.. Won't be staying for long though, cos we have to go some place from what I've heard.. Oh well, tara-ra-boom-de-yay I suppose..
Seems I forgot to inform others (namely Mon and Jackie) about my update.. Dang getting too old.. Oh well, I'll post in in their cbox the next time.. I can't seem to post anything at home.. Odd..
Amd, I seem to remember replying to Winnie over my cbox but shockingly it's not there anymore... Hrmm.. So to Winnie, I'm not really sure with the date, but from what I've heard from the last meeting I attended, it will take place near the end of April, way after your finals so don't worry... Of course that tidbit of 411 was ages ago, like February + ?? A lot of meetings were held this March which I didn't attend, so don't be surprised if my margin is a tad outdated..
Oh well, I'm too nervous to type anything more... Good luck to Lasallians and Benildeans, or at least in advance... Not too sure when their finals are but I'm pretty positive it's within the next two weeks..
God bless us all.. (Dang I really hope my grades in theo and drawing are good... I'm really looking forward to Cavite... Keeping my fingers crossed)
Til here.. VIVA SANTO TOMAS..
Disappoinments
With the thoughts of seeing my grades in English and Chemistry today, I woke up at about 7 a.m., much much earlier than I would have if not for that., so you could just imagine the great disappointment that was etched in my face the whole day when I saw neither of them.
English consultation WAS SUPPOSED to start at 9, and with that in my mind, I skipped breakfast and headed straight to UST (after the jeepney ride of course.. ) I arrived at about 8:15, and joined my classmates in waiting for the final forty-five minutes.. By 8:50, though, Baluyut decided that we have waited too long, and, all of us having waited for at least half an hour, agreed to go upstairs. 9;10, 20, 30, 40.. damn where is that irresponsible sh#t of a teacher?!! Everybody just started to lose their cool, after all, Callangan's "notoriousness" ( or is it notority? whatever ) in being always absent is so popular ( or is it rather infamous?).. Dang, like how many remedials have she asked for because she was absent on our meeting??? And with no reason nor explanation at that?? Dang, I wonder how many of us actually like her.. After all, she was one of those who crammed a lot on our final week.. Imagine she announced that we were to have a library paper, on March 1st, and were supposed to submit it on the 17th??? Plus reports, skits, and flash presentations ?? And as if it were not enough, on the 9th, she announced that we were supposed to submit a movie synopsis regarding Coach Carter, but we didn't watch and finish the dang movie until the 15th, and to top it all off, deadline was on the next day... Dang with this woman..
Our vexation intensified today when she no-showed our consultation.. That was until a little bit after 10 a.m., when she actually gave an explanation for the first time, and that was that one of her relatives had died today... Of course, I suppose she could have texted us a bit earlier, and we would have highly appreciated more hours of sleep, but I don't really want to sound so merciless and all, so our deepest apologies
and condolences go out to her family, God bless her the strength to carry on..
Dean, Mond, Rozz and I decided to kill the three hours we were supposed to wait until our Chemistry consultation by playing DOTA at Hyper... At about 11, Ogoy joined in the fray and helped us in the FF emulated version of the game.. By noon, Wilfred arrived too and told us that he was going to throw a sort of a belated birthday party, so he treated all of us, including the others who were not with us at Hyper, to lunch at Almer's famous and excellent sisig.. (Thanks Wfred for the meal.. Belated Happy Birthday ^_^) We finished eating, laughing, and chatting at about half an hour past 1...
Realizing we were late for our consultation, we immediately rushed back to UST, (and I also saw Renz Tan near Dapitan at Wendy's)... Disappointment started to seep in again when Mam Torres refused to tell us our actual grades; she merely whether we passed.. The third disappointment tolled its bell when we realized that aside from the five of my classmates who failed Geometry, there are also, at least, another three, who failed Chem.. Missy, who, sorry to say, failed both subjects later told us that she would pursue her college degree in another university... (I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.. ) Of course, others like Lara, Ja, and Enrico rejoiced since they passed Chem.. However, nobody could hide the disappointment that we would spend the next few years with another person less than our original block, (the first one being Alex)..
Dang it, how could there be a lot of disappointments in just a single day.. And to actually top this off, I was actually intending a second post (an essay) but realized that it's already 9:36 pm as we speak.. Dang, this is so disappointing... GRr..
Oh well, let's just hope that next Monday would be much better than today.. I hope I get decent grades in Trigo and Drawing, and most of all, I extremely, definitely, positively, verily, intensely hope that I pass in Theo.. Just get my fingers crossed..
Tata now.. ^_^ Have to regain that lost sleep.. God bless us all ^_^
helluvaday
The alarm rang at 6:15 a.m. Damn, how unlucky could I get?! Or rather, how forgetful of me to set it when my finals were supposed to start at 7:00 am? I was actaully intending to get up earlier to review a tad more and refresh my memory, but whoopee-dee-freaking-doo.. Guess I'm getting older..
So I took a five minute bath and voila!! Good to go, until I realized I promised to cook today's breakfast.. Whipped up a quick sinangag for my parents (particularly my mom), eggs, ham, took a one-spoon-breakfast mainly to check if everything tasted alright.. Dang was actually planning something else but time was my enemy.. Left home half an hour past 6.
Jeep ride was a hell.. Don't you people ever get annoyed at the driver when he says "oi mga wala pang bayad dyan" and looks at you as if you haven't paid when you were in fact it was the first thing you did after trying to "cozy up" on that seat of his.. Dang, seems I'm not the only guy who's forgetful...
Got to school with only a minute to spare.. Guess I have to forget about reviewing.. Dang I should have just studied last night, shouldn't I?? 24 multies plus 30 multi problems in 2 hours?? Dang!!
And the song I downloaded last night?? Turns out I already had it ages ago.. Double dang!
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not really complaining... Guess I just want to write a lengthy post.. Hehehe..
Well tomorrow and Monday's gonna be a sort of a judgment day, Monday more so than tomorrow.. Just imagine if you were in starstruck and it was sunday and you hear the judges say, "thank you and goodbye to...."
Dang, five of my classmates have already succumbed to geom... What about trigo? chem? and most of all, drawing??? (in my case, theo) Well, we'll experience that starstruck sort of thing tomorrow as we see our grades in english and chem.. And on monday, we see our grades for trigo and drawing.. (Dang what about my theo??)
Well, at least I have a few days to breathe before I see my clearance... Well yeah it's torture not to know whether you've passed theo... But I suppose I could rant all I want and complain all I want, but nothing would change anyhow... Guess I just have to wait..
A lot of my friends have been comforting me, that I probably wouldn't fail theo, after all, according to them, it's just a minor subject.. Guess I'm just really nervous since I've failed our one and only 50 item long quiz on sacraments... Not that Mam Redonia showed it to us, but I'm pretty positive I failed.. The worst thing about this is that she never showed us any of our post-quizzes, or the seatwork or what have you, which is actually sh#t since you won't know if you need to catch up or not.. Dang, I hope I scored respectably in our finals.. Dang, I'm too nervous..
Nervous enough to have skipped playing DOTA with Jo and the gang... Could you believe I missed it?? and on the final day of our exams at that?? Revelation ain't it?? More than that, I've also turned down watching Final Destination 3 with Candz and Arvs.. Triple dang.
Well, I guess I have to put it to rest since, as I said, I can't do anything about it..
Still haven't found decent pics to post over my site... Guess I need to upload some from my digicam, or my phone, whichever is more decent..
Well tata now... Have to prepare dinner.. Chinese style lumpia! Yum ^_^
God bless us all.. ^_^
VIVA SANTO TOMAS!
Second Post
Yeah I know I shouldn't be here.. After all, it would be my second post for the day (the new layout post was just posted a few hours ago, and I forgot to change the time ^_^).. but what the he-ey?? I missed this too much... I was actually thinking of playing aeRO, hunt a few horongs and break a few bibles and slot flammable cards in there but the hell.. That can wait, can't it?? ^_^ Not really feeling particularly jolly, not that sad either.. Just finished reviewing for my chemistry finals earlier than I anticipated.. Or perhaps change the word "review" to "scan".. Believe me, there are times that the more you study, the more your mind will fail you in the exam proper.. So here I am, typing away, downloading a chinese love song that I saw over the tv a month ago, entitled "Dui Bu Qi, Wo Ai Ni" sung by the lovely Fish Leong.. Not in love, no time for that, (or at least I don't want to think that I am if I am), being the boring outcast that I am.. Hehehe...
So what to say??
Well first off, I want to apologize for failing to help in the sponsor thing for my high school alma mater.. It's not as if I have no gratitude for CKSC, or what.. Just call me irresponsible is what you need to do.. Can you believe that I no-showed like four or five meetings??? Well, at least two of them were because I had classes, but the other two were just family affairs that I could have just skipped... I feel terribly ashamed... Sigh.. How much I've changed in just a year!!
Of course, I'm positively excited about our yearbook... I want to see what a nice work my beloved friend, Jackie, (who I haven't talked to for a looooooooooooooooooooong time) has done.. (Jackie miss you po ^_^) It's the first ever reunion of our batch since graduation.. yeah it's a bit early I suppose.. but what's wrong with seeing people you miss?? (Hi, Mon, Winnie and Sze)..
Well, someone texted my grades in geom and I'm happy that I got a respectable final grade.. Of course, my prediction that my grades would go down by at least .25 were correct, which makes it less viable that I would retain my "dl-ship".. Sorry, mom, dad... Sigh, guess I was too preoccupied with this so called soulsearching of mine..
It's 9 already, damn and I've written only a bit in the 45 minutes I've been sitting here.. Guess sometimes you're overflowing with words and when you get a paper and pen to write a poem or essay ( or in this case type a post on your rotten keyboard) the words just go away like they never existed at all.. Or perhaps my life is just unintersting at best.. Nothing to brag about, not too active in school- like yeah, what the hell can I write about??
Sigh, haven't really done much in my college life have I?? Books books books... Is there anything else I live for besides books?? Sighhss, getting uptight again.. Grrr..
Well, the song's done downloading.. Guess I'll have to continue this in another time, as my parents would be after my blood if I hagged the PC for the rest of the night..
Have a blessed night everyone... God bless us all.. ^_^
VIVA SANTO TOMAS..
Whooaaa
Well, nothing much, really, just a new layout (which I truly love; thanks again to Photkicho who makes magnificent layies like these..) Pardon me for the somewhat lengthy absence, there were just too much factors that led me to stop blogging- virus... studies... soulsearching of sorts.. and did i say virus?? hell, they drive me nuts! of course, after I checked everybody else's blog (in a pc shop), I felt as if I was missing too much of civilization by keping my doors locked from the whole world. Don't get me wrong, I'm still not going to blog as often as before; it's just that you can expect more posts now, especially since we're just a day away from vacation.. Chem finals... sheesh, soo hard...
About the soulsearching thing, well, i guess it was mainly because of too many blows in my life during the last six or so months.. my second sem has been horrific, a decrease of AT LEAST .25 in ALL subjects, including math subjects.. drawing, as i believe, takes a huge plummet from my 1.75 to (my estimate) 2.5.. i'm hanging by a thread in theology.. God help me make it through... which reminds me that one particular important resolution of mine was broken just fourteen days afterthe first day of January.. sigh.. God forgive me for it... sigh, i felt broken, and i still feel broken... which led me to this soulsearching... and to my separation from the outside world...
sigh.... well, guess i have to study for my chemistry finals... be updating soon.. and perhaps adding pics below... if i have the time... God bless us all... Viva Santo Tomas ^_^
