Bad timing

DEFINE BAD TIMING:

 Ito ang mga panahong ang saya-saya mo dahil 2:30 pa pasok mo at wala kang class sa iba mong subjects.

Paalis ka na ng bahay tapos biglang magtetext kaibigan mo.

FRIEND: Bern, andito siya sa tambayan namain.

BERN: Weh? Bakit?? Papunta pa lang akogn UP! Waaaah.

FRIEND: Ewan ko. Baka bumibisita lang.

At magmamadali kang umalis para maabutan siya. Saktong pagdating sa FC nagtext ulit si friend.

FRIEND: Awwww.. Wala na sila. Kakaalis lang.

BERN: Awwww… Fail yet again. 

HINDI PA ORAS! GRRRRRR!!! Hindi pa ako pinagbigyan ni papa God. 1 minute! 1 minute man lang. Ipinagkait pa sa akin.

Favorite pics :)

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!=))

 

Because i’m scared to fail again

After so many failures in the past, I’m scared to fail anything again.

I promised myself I would study well so I won’t get any 5s this semester… But my ominous failing grade in the 1^st exam in ES13 tells me otherwise. Maybe I should have exerted more effort in studying and solving problems. But I’m sure I’ve done enough reviewing for the 1^st exam and I was sure I was going to pass that effin’ exam.

This morning, I had an exam in one of my major subjects. Engineering economy (as if our poor economy needs any analysis! Pfffft.) 2 hours wasn’t enough to answer the looooooong and tedious problem solving he gave us. I DON’T WANT TO FAIL THAT EXAM! They are actually expecting me (hence the PRESSURE!) to be one of the top scorers in his exam since I am always making pa-bibo in his class.

I still have an exam tomorrow and I’m not yet done reading all the slides Ma’am Kate gave us. ARGH. Huway?! Why do they have to schedule ALL the exams on the SAME WEEK??!

Goodbye

“Of all goodbyes, the kind which hurt the most was the one your ears never heard of but your heart knew very well while being said…”

The mother and daughter conversation

The daughter’s side:

            I’m old enough to commit myself in a relationship that I think would work. I have turned down and let numerous suitors pass by just to please you. I have always put up with your wants and needs, neglecting what I WANT and what I NEED myself.

I have a career now in which I did my very best to establish at an early age. Now, I’m on the road of improving the path I have chosen.

I’m in love with a man, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I love you less. I love you more and more with all your support and effort you exert to fix me food to eat before I leave the house, and staying up even during the wee hours of the morning when I do overtime.

Don’t make me choose between you and him. Its hard being stuck and choosing between your mother and a guy I’m madly in love with. Please mom, just let me be. Let me be happy. Don’t make this hard for both of us.

The mother’s side:

            I am not against the idea of you, falling in love and committing yourself to a relationship. You’re old enough to know what you want and what makes you happy.

            What I’m really concerned about, is the fact that you two have the same job and you both work for the same company who doesn’t allow any commitments between their employees. Wouldn’t it be nicer if you find someone outside the company; someone who won’t deny you in front of other people; someone who’s more established in life and someone who WOULD LISTEN AND RESPECT ME. I am only thinking of your career and the soon to be repercussions of your decision. I am not, in any way, against him. But with what he showed me last night, I am thinking otherwise.

            I didn’t want this to come to a point where I have to make you choose between him and me… but you made me.  

Here we go again

I thought things were getting better.

I thought I WAS GETTING BETTER… 

Hindi pa pala.

The Madhatter

Johnny Depp as the Madhatter in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.. COOOOOL! can’t wait for that movie.

Momi Pi’s Write up for me :)

“Substance over beauty” is one legacy that Bern lives by. She will be remembered as the all poised, hard-working, fantabulous individual in the College of Engineering who is driven by her numerous passions. With that tall and slim figure one never wonders where she gets the dancin’ and groovin’ moves. She is a posh dancer with a plywood on her back that makes the crowd go wild with her moves. And for more added talents, her exuberance for singing makes her a complete entertainment package in a body of one. Although Bern is often mistaken to be a snob, up close you’ll discover that there’s more to her pretty face. Yes! She’s a rare beauty with a radiant smile. Other than the obvious brainy person that she is, Bern is chatty and very witty. She’s always laughing and kidding around. Bern is a sympathetic listener, the one that you could always turn to when a predicament arises. The radiance of her smile will easily make you feel warm and comfortable.

Don’t ever miss this superwoman in the College of Engineering because a super friend like her would be a great loss if you did .

Write UP

Since the person I asked to do this forgot to email me my write-up, I guess I should do this myself.

I never imagined myself talking up any course in the engineering field. I hated math since high school (since I wasn’t really any good at it), nor was physics was in my area of interest. My first choice in the UPCAT form was BAA as my pre-law, while my father suggested IE as my 2^nd option. When the UPCAT results were announced, I was disappointed to find out that I was accepted in the IE department.

My 1^st year as an engineering student was a struggle; I was a repeater of Math17 and worked hard in my physics subjects, just to pass the course. One adviser of mine even told me that I should consider shifting out of the college but because of pride and laziness to apply for another college, I stayed. I stayed not because of the prestige of graduating an Engineer of UP, but because I have suffered enough and shifting out would admit defeat. Then came the deadly IE27 subject. I failed not only the first time I took it, but sad to say, failed the second time too. That was when I decided to either shift to another department, or shift out of the college completely. I wasn’t really enthusiastic about the latter, since I was already finished with all of my math and physics subjects (oh joy!) and shifting out would just waste my efforts.

My choice consisted of Geodetic Engineering, or any course in the MMM department. I decided to go with the 2^nd choice. I was declined the first time I applied, but was reconsidered by the department chairperson and put me in Metallurgical Engineering. It was hard adjusting during my first year in the department since I really didn’t have any MMM friends. It was awkward to sit in a room full of people that are 2 years younger than you, and 1^st day of classes aren’t really fun at all. Its hell when teachers ask you to introduce yourself in the whole class, tell them why you chose MetE and what year you are in already. When it was my turn to introduce myself, I would just jokingly tell them that my year and student number was a sensitive topic.

But now, I have learned to adjust and made new, younger friends — the people who I’ll be working with until I graduate. I don’t regret in shifting to another department since I can really say that I am now enjoying my majors and I’m really looking forward to graduating with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering.

There is always a lesson to learn from every experience. It may have been a little bit late to realize that I wasn’t meant to be an Industrial Engineer, but it isn’t too late for me to change my old ways and start focusing on my academics.

College would always be a painful reminder of how I failed and the struggles I went through just to pass one subject to the next. But it would also remind me of the valuable friends I met along the way, the precious moments I shared with them and the love they gave me during hard times; the people who gave me inspiration to go on; and the  priceless lessons that changed my life.

 Taken From How does a Microscope work?

SCIENCE

Question:

How does a Microscope work?

Answer:

Microscopes were created in the late 15th century as people started to experiment with telescopes. The way that a telescope makes distant items closer is a lot like how a microscope works. Both provide gentle suction on the eye’s pupil and distort the eye so the image that would normally appear on the center back of the eye is spread around almost the entire inside surface of the eyeball.

This distortion of the eye quickly reverses once the user pulls back from the microscope but does mean that the user of a microscope has to align their eye just right above the aperture of the microscope to see anything. The distortion factor is listed on the microscope and misaligning your eye can cause irritation of the eye and the weird dark or blackout of the image being viewed.

The brighter the image the more distortion occurs. Thus looking at the sun through a telescope is discouraged. The intensity of the sun’s rays can cause the eye to bulge out of its socket and be permanently damaged.

I stumbled upon this while researching for my technical paper. LOL

Every now and then

I miss him every now and then… But since he’s busy reviewing for his board exam, I’ll tuck away this feeling for now.

I’ll keep myself pre-occupied with my studies and extra curricular activities. I started training for the volleyball team just to kill the boredom. And since I have lots of free time in my hands, I have to find things to do just to keep my mind off HIM.

It’s been months since the last time I heard from him. I felt bad at first, but since I started to convince myself that he needs to focus for his review, I forced myself to find happiness with the things I do.

I’m waiting… Still waiting.

He’ll be back. I know. I believe.

Priority

Sometimes, we just have to accept the fact that we aren’t of priority to other people’s lives. As much as we want to be number one for them, we just have to be contented with the short moments they spend with us.

We cannot demand them of their time. We must understand that they have a lot of other more important things to think of and to do, than waste their precious time with us.

Hindi tayo pweeng pagbigyan sa lahat ng bagay na gusto natin. Sad, but true.

Endless

I’m finally starting to feel the pressure of being a student.

There are papers due every week, exams being held at the same day and the non-stop staying up late just to study and cram your report and homework.

I never thought 1^st sem would be this tiring. I only have 16units but with the hectic schedules and constant day-by-day deadlines, I feel like I’m taking up 21 units.

I’m still not yet done on my take-home exam (and I’m not making any progress either); I haven’t started doing my technical report for mete12; I have a project proposal that’s due tomorrow; and I have two exams next week. Oh joy!

In time

We may not be the best of lovers, but you’re the best guy friend I’ve ever had.

You may not have been the greatest boyfriend in the world, but I’m glad that you were once a part of my life. You’ve taught me how to be strong and that loving too much won’t do me any good. I don’t regret making the choice of leaving because I know I deserve to be happy too.

The damage that you have caused not only affected me, but the other party as well. What you did was irreparable, and only a miracle would bring him back to me. I’m still not yet ready to forget what happened, nor have I prepared myself to forgive you. Time may heal wounds, but the scar will always serve as a reminder that you robbed me of the long due happiness that I deserve.

I will forgive you… in time.

I’m happy that you have finally come to your senses. I am happy that finally, you found somebody that can give you the love that I will never be able to give you. And please, do love her more than you loved me.

I will forever be gratified for the lessons you taught me.

I am moving on and I’m glad, that you are too.

Hi! My name is Pearl! :))

For the 2nd time, DQ people thought my name was Pearl .:) 

Another broken promise

What is the best diet pill that works, that is available in the market today? Everyone is commenting on how I gained weight and keeps on pinching the love handles i recently developed.

I can’t stop myself from eating too much carbs. I thought playing sports for engg week (a college event) and training for the engineering volleyball team would at least compensate for my appetite. I thought i wouldn’t gain weight since i  burn calories everytime i play sports. Guess i was wrong.

Haaaay… Will jog tomorrow.. another promise i’m making. T_T

Checklist

Finally! I was able to catch sleep today.

Classes were suspended due to the bad weather. It was raining the whole day and I snuggled up my bed, snoring the day away.

I had lots of things to do, but the weather was making me sleepy and focusing on my acads was just impossible.

CHECKLIST:

v      Technical report on mete12 that’s due next Friday (but submitting before the deadline will earn me a +5 points (per day before Friday))

v      A 150-pt take-home exam in EM10

v      Cheat sheet for mete15

v      Homework in mete11

v      Quiz in ES13 next Tuesday

v      Project proposal for physics 73.1 that is due on Wednesday

And the list goes on and on, and on, and on…

This one made me smile. :)

This made me smile. =)

I know it’s stupid to believe in online quizzes, but the result was unexpected. LOL.
