Computing over memorizing

Too much memorization and terminologies made me appreciate how much easier it is to solve and compute problems than to memorize 8 pages and 70 slides of lecture.

I am not really sure how I will manage to cram and store all of that information in my brain in one night, but thank God I was responsible enough to have started reading and memorizing last weekend.

I am only halfway in re-reading my notes and recalling what I have already memorized. Luckily I don’t have class tomorrow until 1pm. I will still have enough time to review in the morning. Well… Wish me luck.

DIET (not!)

I’m getting fat… People tell me that I have gained weight and my love handles are visible whenever I wear light-colored shirts. My pants don’t fit anymore, I always feel bloated, and I feel like my already humongous legs have doubled its size since last Christmas.

I promised myself a million times already that I would start eating less and do more exercises to lose weight — but my lack of self-discipline led me to eat more and gain more weight in a short span of time. So last weekend, I promised (again) that this time, I would force myself to refrain from eating too much (kahit na sobrang sarap nung food L ). From 1 ½ cups of rice, I now content myself with only 2 tablespoons of rice every meal. I will try to jog at least thrice a week but on second thought, would jog at least once or twice a week para hindi lumaka ang mga PATA ko. Tsk.

Oh yeah. I wish this time self-discipline would prevail and hopefully by summer, I would lose enough weight not just so I can wear swim suits to the beach, but also for my old clothes to fit me once again. If i can’t shed these extra pounds that i gained this past few months, i’ll be forced to drink weight loss pills for fast and effective results.

It’s my turn to thank you

You have constantly thanked me and expressed your gratitude for making you happy. I am not really sure why or how I make you happy but still, you’re welcome.

Now that I think of it, I realized I haven’t told you how much you make me happy nor have I thanked you for making me feel special. Those simple text messages telling me how much you miss me is enough to make my day. And whenever I tell you I missed you too, rest assured that I mean it every time I say it. (Mga style mo. Nagpapamiss pa lalo. Hahaha.)

Words aren’t enough to describe how special you are to me. (oo. Ginagaya ko style mo). I almost lost hope and was on the verge of giving up when you taught me and made me realize that I can still find happiness.

I know one of these days you’ll drop by my blog and read this entry (bilang sabi mo fan kita hahaha).

Lugi ako. Hahahaha. Alam mo mga thoughts ko. Yung sayo NO IDEA ako. Ang hirap pa mangfish sayo. Hehehe.

BLISS

I wish he would stop making it hard for both of us. I decided to let go and move on because I realized that I could find my happiness in somebody else. I am happy with the guy I like right now. Even though I’m still not sure of his intentions and I don’t have any assurance if he has feelings for me, I am contented with the thought of knowing that somebody knows my worth and gives the time and effort to make me feel that I am important. It’s too soon for me to tell that I am already in love with him… But if what’s happening right now would continue, sooner or later the flirting and ‘bolahan’ would eventually lead to a serious relationship (hehehe tamang pagfifeeling lang ako! Hahahaha).

I’ve waited and suffered long enough to make the right decision of letting go and moving on. I made myself forget all the pain and hurt that I felt. I am not doing this for revenge or just to make him feel what he made me feel back then. As much as possible, I don’t want him to go through the pain that I went through. I don’t want to be a selfish jerk who loves seeing someone cry and get hurt because of me.

Don’t blame me if I made the decision of finding my happiness with somebody else. After pain and sorrow, I know there comes healing, contentment and eventually, bliss. Let me be. Letting go would make me happy. I wish he would stop hurting himself and realize that he’ll find someone else.

Ayaw ko ng….

You know what I hate the most?

It’s when people pretend to be someone whom they’re not.

Ayoko sa mga plastic.

Ayoko sa mga mapagkunwari.

Ayoko sa mga naglilinis-linisan.

Ayoko sa mga pa-demure effect.

Ayoko ng sinisita ako sa mga ginagawa ko pero siya pala ganun din ang ginagawa.

Nakakainis.

Lost Geol notebook

It’s official — my notebook in Geol11 is missing. I have searched every space, corner and crevices in our boarding house in desperate hope of finding my notebook. I’ve been forcing my brain to remember where I last put it, but failed. I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen it, or the last time I brought it to school. (Yep. Absent ako ng ilang meetings dun. SORRY NAMAN.)

The exam’s this week and I NEED TO FIND THAT NOTEBOOK!! DAMMET.

Bed Frames

Sturdy bed frames make up comfortable and elegant beds. The comfort that it provides, along with a soft mattress and pillows assure you of a long and happy sleep. Nobody wants to sleep in a bed that creaks every time you move or a bed which bulks up in the wrong places making you uncomfortable and your body aches every morning when you wake up. Choose a sturdy, inexpensive and reliable bed frame.

I’m not your princess

Happy

THANKS FOR THE ROSE AND FOR THE CAKE..     

master in the art of cramming

          I am a master in the art of cramming. For the past 12 years of my academic life, there never came I time that I didn’t cram for an exam, reaction paper, problem sets, and all school works you can imagine.

          I remember cramming my take-home exam in CL30 (Comparative Literature) last semester. I started doing it 5 hours before the deadline. I had to answer questions regarding the assigned readings/books (which I was only able to read ¾ of what we were required) for the semester. Thanks to technology and internet, I was able to answer most of the questions through ‘careful’ and much research and reliance on the world wide web. The result? A not-so-good-grade in that subject.

          I lose interest and motivation when I study and do things in advance. I work well under stress, and I can yield good results because I think and get inspired the most when I’m under pressure. But after seeing the outcome of my work, I tell myself ‘I could have done better if I have done this earlier.’ I would promise myself that I won’t cram again the next time a project/assignment comes up, but the cycle would go on and on and on.

          Anyway, I promise that I would do things earlier so that I would have lots of time to collate ideas and put them into action. This time, I MEAN IT (I told myself this a lot of times already and broke my own promises) and I hope things would be different.

Writer’s Block……

I can’t think of anything to write down. I am supposed to be doing my RDR report in my chem lab but instead, I am staring at the screen, the blinking cursor waiting for me to type the words to fill up the white, empty and meaningless page.

Lately, I ran out of ideas and inspiration to write. I used to be an enthusiastic, frustrated writer, jotting down ANY random things that pop into my mind. I can put meaning into chaotic, disordered thoughts when I want to, but when writer’s block or laziness attack, I can’t find a way to sort out and start writing my ideas.

Another writer’s block. ………….. ——————–

Dreams

My tito promised my younger brother a home entertainment system to be set-up in his room if he will pass the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test). My father also promised us that he would get us an apartment if ever my brother gets accepted in UP Diliman. While anxiously waiting the test results, I started planning how everything will be arranged in the new apartment: I would have my own room, and the home entertainment system would be set up in the sala. We would watch in a big-screen LCD TV in a silver TV stand, speakers and comfortable chairs. I could hold house parties and inuman, group-study session, overnights and bonding sessions with my girlfriends…

The results are out; my brother passed but got accepted in UPLB instead. Howell… Goodbye big TV. Goodbye own room.

Super Cissus RX

Herbal medicines are effective and leave no harmful side-effects. Cissus Quadrangularis is a traditional herbal medicine in India for centuries. USP Lab researchers discovered the power of this herbal medicine and found a way to make it available for Western athletes and bodybuilders. Super Cissus RX is a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and plant sterol compounds, and it is a reformulated and stronger version of Cissus RX by USP Labs. The difference between Cissus RX and Super Cissus RX is that Super Cissus RX contains 10% of the active extract whereas Cissus RX contained 5%. Super Cissus Rx supports healthy tendons, ligaments, cartilage and joints.

Stupidity is….

You know what stupidity is? It’s accidentally pressing something on your keyboard that closes the document that you’re writing without saving it.

DAMN! I was almost done with the blog I’m writing when I pressed something on my keyboard. ANG TANGA. Sayang. That blog was due today!

Anyway… Since the momentum’s gone, I’ll try to do it later.

Hamilton Watches

 The Hamilton Watch Company was founded during the 1890’s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They manufacture high quality wristwatches and pocketwatches. With quality being Hamilton’s primary goal, the company set out to manufacture “America’s Finest Watch.” Within the next six years, Hamilton had developed a reputation for creating pocket watches of the highest caliber of quality. Hamilton Watches are now manufactured by the Swatch Group. Ltd. and have now grown increasingly popular. It has appeared in over 300 movies and sponsored Nicolas Ivanoff’s (an acrobatic pilot) plane during the competition in 2005.

Blackberry Plants

Fruits from blackberry plants are used for the manufacturing of jams, desserts, seedless jellies, and sometimes wine. Since this type of plant can form hybrids easily, there are many types of cultivars with more than one species in their ancestry. The blackberry is also used in herbal medicine because they are known to contain polyphenol antioxidants, and is used for treatment of diarrhea and dysentery because they are known to regulate certain beneficial metabolic processes in mammals.

Furnitures

There came a time that I went to the mall everyday just to window shop for furnitures. I have started dreaming and planning of what and how I would want my own home (in the NEAR future) to look like. I thought that as long as you have money, it won’t be a problem to choose for any furnitures you like. But as I looked at their tags, I suddenly had second thoughts if I can achieve my goal of having my own home in less than 5 or 10 years after I start working because their prices are ridiculously expensive. Good thing many shops and online stores offer discount furniture.
