My Way
What a start of year. I apologize for not having been able to post a little earlier.. I want to thank those who have expressed their concern about my recent breakdown insofar as my ego was concerned...All is well now though.. I realized I didn't have to please anyone at all... Anyone for that matter... I guess I have given up the truth for those I tried to please.. Now, IT'S MY TURN... I'm gonna start living for MYSELF.. in MY terms... and as a song that I've found to suit this situation very well goes, "There ain't no use in holding on cos nothing stays the same..." and if living for myself is what I'm guilty of, go on and sentence me, I'd still be free.. ^^ And to you, naysayers?? I've got two words for you: SCREW YOU!!!
On another note, it has been a very very busy week.. and it doesnt end there. I still have a busy week ahead of me..
This is what my itinerary last week looked like:
1. LTS: Outreach program in Tarlac
2. Physics: Project: Prototype 3-C1A-3F2.5 == Air cannon... Nozzle length, approx 2 meters... Projectile: Jackstone... Firepower: Pump... Maximum achieved velocity?? 50 meters per second.. Whopper... And thats just 40 psis!! HAHAHA.. sorry for the braggy part... Can't help but be proud.. Of course it was a group work and I don't take the credit... Not at all.... I'm just happy with the results is all....
3. English: THESIS SUMMARY.. ZOMG!!!!
4. Filipino: Readouts for the Research paper on "How Filipinos are coping up with increasing demands for oil by using alternative fuels"
5. Psych: Report on Gardner's theory on multiple intelligence
6. Integral: Tests on method of integration.. OODLES of assignment on solids of revolution. (YUM!)
This is what my itinerary for the week looks like:
1. Engineering week: Banner making
2. Seminars on Wednesday and Thursday
3. Shoots for the "Pandaren Chef" ( an obvious spoof to the famous IRON CHEFS that I love so much).. Theme ingredient: RICE I still don't know what to cook by the way... I'm thinking of rice croquettes, pilaf, and posh rice pudding though ^^
4. Filipino: Prewriting and Actual writing (hopefully) of the aforementioned research paper
5. Integral: Even more delightful bundles of assignments on circular disks, polar curves, cylindrical shells, and washers + derivation of the equation of solids (i.e. frustum of cone, sphere etc) (YUMYUM)
6. Physicslab: Post lab (series / parallel connection + ammeter + voltmeter + resistors = YUM)\
7. Physics: Electric fields, field lines, Kirschoff's law, Ohm's law,
8. LTS: workfolder= uploading lotsa pics over dial up (lotsa luck!!)
9. Programming: Machine problem on Parallel Dynamic Arrays (C++)
10. Downloading: iron chef ost
11. Shoots for movie trailers and/ or commercial for ORALCOM
12. optional: GHOST RIDER on Wednesday (yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhaaaw) and jumong (dvd) IF MY SCHED loosens up a bit. YEAH RIGHT
Got sick twice in a span of just 7 days.. My cold has been around for more than half a month now.. And I still feel a bit hot even as we speak..
Don't take it that I'm complaining though... In fact, I'm enjoying every minute of it.. All kidding aside... It's as if someone lit a fire under my butt and I've been growing more focused... Line of 9's across the board for prelims!! That was a shocker more than anything else... I've pretty much contented myself the last two terms with lines of 7's and 6's.. Blamed my profs for it...
Speaking of which, the LTS thing has enlightened me a lot though, I now realize how hard it is to be a teacher.. I'll post about my experiences some other time if my sched would permit me... In a sentence, I'll just have to say that LEARNING IS A TWO WAY PROCESS, and that it depends just as much on the learner as it does on the teacher... Efforts should be exerted from both sides.. It doesnt help if you have a degree adorned "5 star" (in our jargon) prof but the learner simply plays dota all day.... The student HAS to fill in on the deficiencies of the prof, and NOT everything you learn SHOULD come from the teacher.. (So that was more than one sentence; sue me ^^)
Guess what I'm trying to say in three words, is that I'M LOVING IT. Im loving my life, and I'm fat, busy but happy... To those people who say that happiness comes from other people.. F-U!! Happiness lies only within oneself.. You say you may have all the money in the world but you still can be lonely.. I'd agree to that.... But those who insinuate that we have to be constantly with others to be happy, that he's not happy without his friends/ girlfriend/ whatever.. Pshhhh.. You may have all the world bowing at your feet, you may think they sympathize with you, but in the end, the only people you can rely on is yourself, and the Almighty God.... They know you when they need you... And even then, they spit at you behind your back.. And when it's their turn to help you, they shun away.. What kind of men are those? Shit is what it is.... is what they are.. It's been proven time and time again... You may be so popular at elem, or at hs, and you may think the friends you had there will never leave you... You may think they'll love you forever.. But even those who you thought would never leave you WILL... Learn from this people..... Perhaps, I've been growing a bit "atheistic" lately (thats a bit of info from psych class) shifting emphasis from others to the self, and perhaps that IS NOT the Christian way... In fact, I'll say it bluntly right now, I don't respect the bible... Not one bit.. They say it's the word of God.. but the apostles wrote it.. They may be inspired by the Holy Spirit, but they are only men... and men may interpret things wrongly even when they are inspired.. I dare anyone to argue that....
But I believe in God.. and I love Him.... and I have hurt Him a lot of times I know.. I don't go to church every Sabbath.. and I do some other things I'm still too dodgy to disclose... But someday, I know, I can prove my love for Him... in my own way....
Til then.. Don't expect a post anytime soon... But do care to check around once every so often, ayt???
Cheers... ^^
