Sem Break To Do List:

Yeah… It’s a bit late to post my personal to do list for the sembreak since more than half of it has been spent already… and then 80% of that time has been devoted to sleeping like a vampire. Chomp-Chomp. I’m a bit sabaw while writing this cuz according to my vampiric sem break nature… it’s still supposed to be my sleeping time.

1. Get Driver License ( I’ve been postponing this. I hate driving, but it’s kinda fun to say I can…somewhat. )

2. Fix Table  ( I finished fixing most of it today [7-9am], on my birthday no less XD , with the help of my maid bec I’m so kiddie and allergic to dust. I can actually see it now O_O XD )

3. Practice Designing ( Well… I practiced digi-coloring and realized how annoying it is to do so bec Adobe PS is supppperrrr slooooowwwwwww… so I stopped. Then I made myself a business card with a sad excuse of a vectored me, which I haven’t had printed yet. )

4. Play FF9 ( I was doing so on the first week of the break… but I’m too lazy to do nah… I just want to sleep the sem away… which I am doing actually. )

5. Buy Clothes/Shoes ( I don’t want to spend money. I ish poor. Sadsadsad… But I need to buy new shoes and I want to buy a new dress for semi-casual occasions. )

Sem Break is Finally Here

OMGosh. I’m so relieved. My sem break is finally here. Well, I still have a paper and a presentation but I think I’m okay with those two already. Now I just have to wait for the grades of doom.

  • I wish I could get a B for Theology… It’s really funny that the difference between a C+ and a B as my final grade was like… a 3 letter grade difference in the finals. I needed an A in the finals to get a B, and a C+ to remain a C+. I think… 
  • In SA21, I got an A in my finals. Nerd. Haha! But I think I’ll still get a C+ in my final marks… possibly a B. I’m hoping it’s a B also. 
  • I can’t determine my standing in my FA classes but I’m hoping for a good grade like B to B+.
  • I’m hoping to get a C+/B in History class as well. Although I’m okay with just a C+ since my pre-finals was only a C. 
  • I’m hoping to get a C+ in Fil although I really don’t know what my current standing is. 
  • And then I’m hoping for a B+ to an A in my PE and NSTP. 

I’m aiming higher this year than my last. One of the reasons is that I think the subjects this sem are relatively easier than last year and also because the QPI requirement is higher now but that never was a problem for me and I’m hopeful it still wouldn’t be. I’m hoping to get a decent QPI though… I really want to go to Japan to study for a few weeks, maybe as a summer study program or as a study tour or something. All my siblings have gone to China for summer study/ a term and I’m the only one left who hasn’t had that kind of experience. I don’t want to study in China though so I’m hoping to get into Japan somehow. Problem is money. Japan is freakin expensive. I’m also a bit regretful I didn’t take Asian History. Maybe I would be eligible for a minor in Japanese Studies if I somehow get into a Jap language/culture program. I didn’t choose Asian History bec I knew it was harder especially those names. I’m really poor in memorizing so I opted for the easier history rather than pick the one that interests me. Maybe I’ll take Asian History some other time. Maybe.

Sembreak. First thing I’m going to do is sleep for a whole day or something. Then I need to get my license. I’m not confident in my driving skills. I don’t want a license. But I really need to get one bec my dad’s kinda old and so is my driver… I sense that in the future… I’ll be driving my family around all the time. I guess it’s not too bad but I also sense that I’d be really irritable in the future. I don’t enjoy driving.

I’m turning 19 this sem break too. My last teen year… it makes me sad. I hate my birthdays. In fact, the only thing I like about it is eating out, having cake, and getting money. But it makes me sad. I don’t want to grow up. I wish I could have stayed 16 forever.

I also need to polish up on my design skills and catch up on gaming time. I haven’t been able to touch my Spore account since…well…for a few weeks now. I also need to finish my FF8 game and start on FF9 and hopefully finish it. I also want to play a new MMORPG and I think I might play Atlantica Online Beta. I’m still downloading the client though.

Hopefully, I may also go out of town like abroad perhaps. Dad was inviting me to go to Xiamen with him. I want to take up on that offer… except my chinese is really bad. I don’t remember anything anymore.

Hodgepodge Updates

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated my blog… But I have managed to update my wordpress by myself… although my blockmate, Ena, did tell me what to do. :) Yey Ena! I seriously need to learn how to code…

Firefox has also been acting up on me… So I couldn’t update my blog. I gave up and am doing this on Safari. Except, WordPress on safari hates my line breaks.

RANDOM Updates about my life:

1. School’s been really hectic. We’re approaching the end of the semester and I can’t wait for the Sem Break… I really need to sleep in for a whole day or something to make up for lost sleep.

2. My whole family’s been sick… I was the last to fall…except I never got the fever… Just the colds and the cough…

3. I’m so poor. And so fat. And so heavy. It makes me sad. Stress makes me hungry.

4. I went to Graphika Manila! It wasn’t worth P650 but it was cool. I loved Tokidoki the best…of course… but I really loved Acid House’s music video. I loved Japanese themed things. I also really liked Collision Theory’s t-shirt design. I especially like how AJ showed how a panda design by his friend became an angry panda…into a saliva spitting crazed angry panda. It was cool. O.O I liked Pixar’s talk too! Although I didn’t really understand much. I didn’t have a background on 3d animation and couldn’t really understand the process of animating. We missed Robert Alejandro though… /sob

I’ll make a new update about Graphika Manila…if I have time.

New Layout

[Edited] I’m still figuring out what layout to use, which is both visually attractive and mostly minimalist. It’s hard to find a layout which satisfies what little designer instincts I have, and at the same time, appeals to others who are unlike me.

I don’t want my site too chaotic, or too boring. I don’t want too many pictures as my layout, and at the same time, I don’t want people not to be interested in my site because it seems so plain. Designers would appreciate minimalist themes, but not everyone is a designer.

The Big Bang Theory (TBBT)

I recently got into watching a TV series called, “The Big Bang Theory”, recommended by Philip Cheang, resident High Priest of the Cult of Mac in AdMU. (just kidding!) I guess one wouldn’t really understand the hilarity of it unless one was a nerd/geek. (Or hoping to be labeled as one as in my case). Although to be completely honest, I do not understand a lot of the things mentioned in the series, although I understand the concept behind it such as jokes about MMORPGS (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games – such as World of Warcraft a.k.a. WOW)

It features two super genius theoretical (and stereotypical) physicists named Leonard and Sheldon, and their new next door blonde (stereotyped) neighbor named Penny. There isn’t really any plot to this TV series aside from the fact that Leonard is constantly trying to get the attention of Penny in hopes of a *cough*sexual*cough* relationship.

Here’s a quote I foud online! :)

Leonard: We need to widen our circle.
Sheldon: I have a very wide circle. I have 212 friends on MySpace.
Leonard: Yes, and you’ve never met one of them.
Sheldon: That’s the beauty of it.

Caution

Hello! I’m trying to start blogging again. Hopefully something happens this time around. Going to all these blogger events with my mom is a bit cool. :D I went to this Nestle Pop’s thing… and to this Pond’s Miracle Age thing…

I changed my layout… again… but there are still bugs bec I’m not really sure how to use this theme. Lol. For example, the drop down menu works, however the individual post links give fatal errors. Comments are also fatal. Archives are not working as well. Great. But at least you get to read this! :D And the search bar works too! If you have something important to tell me, email works. :D Please go to the cool drop down menu and click contact me.

Edit!!!!!!!!!!

The Site Works! …Well… Except for the Archives Link :D

Here’s to the Crazy Ones

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire.

They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?

Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?

Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

From: Think Different

I always fancied myself as different – as a ‘crazy one’. Watch out world.
