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...

(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!
ACAD COMM! Chemay, Ley, Ju, Geo, Jo, Lady, Kit, Tottie (congrats chemay!) Go acadcomm! best comm!


ChE Reps! angge, cel, cha, meanne, nat
UP ALCHEMES(jake et al)
groupmates sa 190 and 142!(esp cha, luh, lims)
Dr. Peralta and the Department of Chemical Engineering
UP KEM
friends! HS (love, she, mitch, cams, mojo, chinky, marlon, ian, ramon, cy), pat, kathleen...
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!

clueless in makati...again!

yet another makati (mis)adventure! i should really consider familiarizing myself with makati, esp the business area! so that when a guard from Libran says i should walk to AIM and i'm wearing a smart casual attire and it's 12 noon, running late for an appointment (which said 12 noon!), i will take a cab instead! and not walk a good 3-4 blocks and an extra 4 meters to realize i've already passed the road leading to AIM... also, i should have just eaten lunch... or maybe started my day early and went to SM NORTH first and ate lunch before heading to Makati. 12noon turned into 1:30! so that i won't hear my stomach grumbling at 3pm because it's empty...the worst of my "application" stories so far... no front desks, no available employee to entertain your queries... what the heck! stop being so bitchy bout it all joyce! and oh, i messed up in the exam! oh well...

got back to school at 6pm, so much for hoping to be able to go to SM North for the medals and go home early...

happy tuesday to y'all... don't mind me - just me PMS-ing!

here's something nice for you guys to look at:D
ME!:D BUT OF COURSE!
THIS IS MY BLOGSPOT AFTER ALL!
NO VIOLENT REACTION!hehe:D

inspired by someone else's diary aka blog

but not a friendster blog...

from cainta to taytay to drop off my sis, then off to school in qc. as usual took a nap in class. (am so not into the subject). lots of stuff... then off to makati....

the makati (mis)adventure: arrived at 2pm, an hour early for my appointment, decided to freshen up a bit in glorietta. g3 carpark -> g4 lounge -> ayala avenue (saw summit center) didn't know where to park went to the back. but lo and behold the streets aren't exactly parallel... ended up parking in one of the parking areas there. was running late for the appointment. hailed a cab. forgot to ask the place where i parked! talked to the driver: TORDESILLAS. the ticket said: BPI parking. forgot if i was able to lock the car. prayed silently... almost 3pm. got to RSC. registered. rode the first available elevator. not the right elevator! got on the right elevator. got out on the wrong floor! yada yada... RSC -> cab back to Tordesillas -> G3 again.met up with pat and she!waaah! are we old? NO!


total expenses for the transpo: 120 for the parking, 90 for the cab! I SHOULD HAVE COMMUTED! I SHOULD HAVE JUST LEFT THE CAR IN G3! next time!but i don't wanna go back, feel i didn't do well...

g3 -> back to QC! ->PRoj 6, pick-up dextrose bottles -> UP, Ilang-Ilang Residence Hall -> EEE Building -> home....

pretty in pink...until i turned red...

*tabi-tabi po*: allow me to gloat for a while... guys, thank you very much for the compliments! haaay... don't worry won't be an airhead because of it. besides it's seldom i dress up like that. made me feel good and pretty despite my "bitter" and "PMS" status. ehehe:D 'twas great too that i saw my crushes (note the "es" hehe) today... though not all of them. didn't see kiddo, though his effect is already passe' maybe because a lot of my orgmates keep teasing me even in his presence. but anyway, then there's 10 too (the other one, and he got out without even seeing hello... hmph! haaay... oh well...). pede na rin si basta un though nde q xa exactly crush... ala lng... if u find my other blogspot maybe u'll get what i mean.*wink* :D though i must admit, sometimes nakakailang ang mga comments kasi prang "ur overdressed go home and change" ang dating... oh well... too bad don't have any pix to show here...

but well, someone just gotta ruin ur day... too proud... oh well... pucha JP, whatever will make him stop? he's worse than riyann pa ata(in cha's case not mine...).... ah ewan... don't wanna be mean...

hp didn't call me back though they did with cha... oh well...

*cute cute* too bad he's taken...oh well, at least it's something to smile about. and look forward to...:D

our prof, finally approved our new topic... chocolate coated/covered coffee beans and mocha spread... hope there'd be no more major objections...

time check: 23 days before ChEckpoint (gotta finalize the plans and start the preparations...), 2++ months before 2nd sem ends... hope i graduate on time.... wish me luck... include me in your prayers...

NANAWAGAN lang: any of you know who these people are:
  1. ym id: veesix9
  2. cel #: 09152420128

just curious that's all. thanks:D
