senti mode...

...will definitely miss college... to be honest i think college was way better than high school in terms of the wealth and variety of experiences I had inside and outside of school. and also because I did not have to be too competitive and grade conscious to the point that friendships were affected... yes it was stressful and hard but the lessons learned, the friends gained, the experiences acquired, all add up and make for a very rewarding 5 years. UP specifically the college of engineering has been more than a school but a home... (shit so cheesy! but then again, it's not always like this)... and I owe it to UP ALCHEMES, UP PRIME, UP ESC, my professors, the people I've met, my classmates, my friends from way back, the new found friends, the boys... hehe:D even enemies...

to my batchmates, especially the 5th year ALCHEMISTS. really thank you for everything. i know I've mentioned you guys more than once in this blog but you i am just so grateful. i was scared of being a loner (sometimes i still am, though by choice), of not having friends, of not enjoying college. i expected that college will all be academics, i did not expect it to be so colorful... (drama!) really thanks so much. will miss you guys sobra. hope we'd get to bond once in a while pa rin... and walang kalimutan especially yung mga madaling yayaman jan! hehe:D special mention to these people: cha, luh, and lims (my plant design groupmates), kat and bryan (my ChE 135 groupmates), marj and al (ChE 125 groupmates), albert, jake, jp, dani, fem, yani, cecile, feng, cy, riyann, pjo, atan, elle, bods, mark, glei, kawen, etc. :D also sa mga batchmates q sa ESC, special mention cyemps ang acad comm hehe:D pakner ley, ju, and GEO! at cyemps Rhet and Daniel!:D

College of Engineering Batch 2006, CONGRATULATIONS!

grad ball sa tuesday, kita-kits nalang.:D

congrats by the way to the ChE Reps 06-07 for the oriental (and very successful) Grad dinner last thursday, April 20 held at Kublai's and the ESC 06-07 for the College Recog Rites last saturday, April 22, 2006. :D

ala lang... latest download from limewire...:D

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY - Natasha Bedingfield

Would you spare me a minute give me a single chance
To look in your eyes let me hold your hand
I want to get close enough to read you, understand you
Open up your heart open up your mind
Nobody needs another stalker in your life
I'm only here to help you learn to love me, to know me

[Chorus] I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns you makes you want to stay
Don't want to speak in case it comes out wrong
Don't want to blink cause in that second you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around
I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want you to
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through

Did you see me staring you caught my eye
Don't turn around don't walk away
The night is young can we get together
Got so many questions feelings I can't explain
We're worlds apart don't even know your name
I'm longing to give you my heart
[Chorus]

Turn around don't evaporate
Like you never came turn around
Don't be a ghost forever never there to haunt me
Sliding doors they aren't just on a train
We're alone on a platform in the rain
There's a chance and it won't come again
Turn around your whole life has changed [Chorus]

LSS (College Recog Rites) - FOR GOOD

ELPHABA
I'm limited: Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you - You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you:
GLINDA
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led To those who help us most to grow
If we let them And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you
Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend: Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you: GLINDA Because I knew you:
BOTH I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
BOTH And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA ELPHABA
Like a comet pulled
Like a ship blown From orbit as it
Off it's mooring Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood
BOTH
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
GLINDA And because I knew you:
ELPHABA Because I knew you:
BOTH Because I knew you: I have been changed for good.

finally some update...

yes, i will graduate... toxic days are over(since april 3, deadline of grades...:D) and i'm all set to march on april 22! :D not with honors though... too bad, but it's ok rather than being delayed (especially when everyone's expecting you to graduate already...) :D

~(segway lng)
Thanks to everyone!

acquaintances and everyone who's been a part of my life in one way or another...
~
but anyway, THIS POST was not intended to be a "THANK YOU POST" so will cut it short...

was scared of what i'm gonna do with my life after school (though i would want to earn an MBA degree perhaps though maybe in a few years time depending on what is necessary... or what field i would want to concentrate)... other than review...felt that review for the board exam on November alone with be such a waste... as if i'm such a bum and a "basura"... but God has plans... and i'm thankful... hope i can manage things though...

shux, i am now an adult! shit! i am no longer entitled to "student fare discounts!" ahaha:D whattalyf!

pinaka-stressful ever...and i missed blogging

edit: i reviewed my post and kamusta naman ang sabog! hehe:D so i'm dedicating this entry to Harlon... hehe:D hope, what i'm doing is not foul. if it is, pls someone tell me...

Harlon mode: ON

the most stressful, busiest week i ever had... i think i look like an old maid now.... oh no!

i really shouldn't be blogging right now (again) for there's still a ton of things i have to do and finish today(see so much to do... so little time) but well, the laptop's not cooperating so i'm downloading in the meantime the trial version of AVG... pls let this be something that i can fix... all the files that i need are there...

on a different note, despite the fact that i am not sure with my graduation status, i already signed up for a board exam review. my sked's gonna be every *toot*. though most of my batchmates signed for *toot*... hehe:D joke time! oh well... and later i think i must do the college recog thing... fees, etc...

but... i'm so not sure... Lord, please let him be considerate enough... kamusta naman ang sermon and all... ok lng, matatanggap q lahat all in the name of a 3! pls... i'm sounding desperate na, coz i am... buti pa yung sa ibang class ngarag sila sa plant design pro not to the extent na may threat na hindi maka-grad... at least, i'm sure na that i will pass ChE 126... another 3... nu b un, kung kelan graduating saka nagkanda-3 ang mga grade. but 3 is better than 5 cyemps! hehe:D

shit! i need to find a place that will bind our work in a flash like the shortest time possible... sana meron... in SC, ang rush binding sa tuesday na... kamusta naman! buhay... ba't ba ako nagChem Eng'g in the first place?!!!!! haaay... panay IT naman ang na-apply-an ko! nu b un! un pa, i'm so.... bsta un... missed an interview with RAM-CAR this week and an exam with IBM... oh well... must trust in God and His plans...

saw hotness today... la lang, konting crush na lng... not super kilig na like before... hehe:D

missed blogging... dani, thanks for the quotes.:D matapos lng to, i'm looking forward to seeing MP, GM or Maria Clara this monday? ahaha:D but then again... i might not at all... sad...

Introduction


i keep on writing to do lists every now and then, as if writing will accomplish one task. nevertheless, it's to keep me reminded and organized else chaos... but it sucks that the list doesn't look any shorter than yesterday or days before, despite the fact that i've been sleeping irregularly not to mention that i've been sleeping all over the house except my room (nah! just on either the sofa, the dining table or on the carpet in the living room), skipping my chores, (not having the car cleaned for the 2nd week now!), using the laptop for hours and hours... not watching CSI for months now!(waaah...). haaaay life! damn! i need a break after all these. but it would sure be great if i graduate right? I MUST GRADUATE! isa na lng... kaya to...

Lord, thank you for all the reminders...

this is it!

the crucial 2 weeks... pls do pray for me... i hope i will no longer be the rate determining step in our group! sorry groupmates cha, luh and lims...

got my copy of the yearbook already. shit kamusta ang "baby fat" for everybody to see... itabi pa sa page ni dana! shit tlga!

huwaaaaat dat?!!! eye sore!!!! huuuuuuu... embarrassing to the max!

what am i going to do? i am so lost.. what will happen after all these? my goal is just to finish everything for the meantime... review? what sched? work? whatever! plant design and 126 muna!...

a lot of people has been hooked on this done, though i haven't tried it yet (even if just to answer theirs...) nevertheless am trying it now, hope someone's out there got the time to answer mine... and put a smile on this haggard and stressed (burn-out?) face of mine... senxa kapal ng mukha ko manghingi ng comments... hehe:D blogdiggers, for once magparamdam kayo! sagutan nio ito! hehe:D click on my name:D--> jOYCEy will appreciate it big time! (lalo na ngaun!:D) sneak-peek

morning y'all! kathleen, pat, et al... sorry if i'm MIA...

ok gotta finish my tasks now!

just checking out LAN... dial-up really sucks... but still i sort of wanna go home na rin, though war... whatever...

hi cha and luh!:D hehe:D jp and albert too. and the rest of the blog-diggers! 5th yrs, buhay pa ba?:D ehehe:D

(bitter?)sweet tooth...

la lang... currently searching possible/existing equipments for application in our plant design (since our professor wants up-to-date equipments). anyway, i came across www.coffeestorehouse.com and i saw their recipes. i was intrigued with the recipes since we also will be designing a mocha spread plant, and i want to know the specs of mocha flavor. but anyway, i read their recipes and they are as follows:
Coffee Mud Cake
Coffee Punch
Decadent Coffee Mousse
Espresso Brownies
Holiday Chocolate Cherry Demitasse
Iced Coffee
Iced Summer Mocha
Mocha Rum Torte
Roast Beef with Coffee
i am that not into coffee though. however, it reminded me of this: Kahlua Butter Cake: Full-flavored coffee liqueur mocha butter cake with Kahlua fudge and coffee butter icing. P61.00.
waaaah! so craving right now... anyone care to treat me for dessert there? (even for dessert only, hehe:D)
would you believe that i only got to eat in choco kiss last December? hehe:D anyway, kahlua... shiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!
ok, back to plant design mode...

signing off

'twas the end of ChE week... which sort of marks the end of our term as ChE representatives! (will be posting pics next time. will ask copies pa from meanne, cha and angge). sana kahit papaano e may naitulong kami... amazing how one year has already passed. one stressful but rewarding year!

thank you

ESC '05-'06!

family(pa, ma, bro, lil sis!) for all the support(financial! hehe:D, moral, emotional, etc.) and for the understanding...(it can't be denied that i am a very moody person!)
Lord... without you i wouldn't have survived from day one...
*tears* will miss the experience... will miss the council (though not all the work, maybe some only)...
~~~~
CONGRATS TO NESTEE! (P&G Student Excellence Awardee!) your ESC Councilor! (tandaan din natin) SOL REGALADO, ANGELLE RIVERA, your ChE Representative.
~~~~
On a different note: what rallies? hehe:D i must say that not everything you see in the news is representative of UP... sad to say that there are apathetic segments as well. i hate to say it but in engg there has not been a walk-out or anything. we are somewhat detached on what's happening on the other side of the academic oval.. eng'g people are just being practical. as our chair mentioned in jest, "wla ba silang acads?" in my opinion, they can afford to skip classes because they can immediately make up for their absence and catch up... but eng'g subjects? aral o rally? aral...(opinion q lang po ito... kebs lang cguro aq masyado... or nde aq anti-GLORIA though not pro-GLORIA. ang tanong lang kasi kung hindi xa sino?) Guingona? Cory? Rez? FPJ? Noli? Imee? Jamby? Bayani Fernando? siguro pede pa(hehe)ahh ERAP! ung pinalayas ng rallies nung 2001 ba yun? tutal malakas xa magdonate...
~~~~
ACAD MODE! FULL BLAST! 142, 136, 126, 190

last na...

ChEckpoint na later! i'm scared. i am not that confident it will go well, despite my "vision" for the event...

i am tired and deactivated... sad and feeling sad and low again...

slept in the sofa again last night for the nth time, without being able to change clothes and having no intake other than "chicken balls", chippy and royal... what a life... it's gross i know...

will be staying overnyt later in the office...

dami ko backlogs... cge, i'm out na... wish me luck...

what the hell is happening to me?!!!!! don't feel well... physical, mental, emotional exhaustion... again... oh damn!
my mom warned me because she noticed that i ate a little for breakfast considering i didn't have anything "real" for supper that it wouldn't be a surprise if i pass put anytime... this however prompted me to say, "sana nga..." ewan... low energy lng ako ngaun tlga...

ok, need to prepare my stuff na and head to school...

Heard this song over the radio yesterday. i so like this song, i don'tknow why.but it's kinda soothing, relazing in a country melodramatic way...

Leader of the Band
Dan Fogelberg

An only child
Alone and wild
A cabinet maker’s son
His hands were meant
For different work
And his heart was known
To none --
He left his home
And went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me
A gift I know I never
Can repay
A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love
Through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.
My brothers' lives were
Different
For they heard another call
One went to chicago
And the other to st. paul
And I'm in colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well.
I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go --
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, papa, I don't think i Said
'i love you' near enough --
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band.

got to rest and somehow unwind yesterday... finally... and now it's back to work! ChE 142, ChE 136, ChE190, ChE 126, ChEckpoint... buwan na lang... grabe!
