I can't even post a nice blog.

Ilang araw na.
Malapit na kasi ang FINALS WEEK. Lots of requirement are given. Exams are scheduled everyday. A couple of term and critique papers are due.

Wish I could finish this semester alive.
Or even sane at least.

done with physics project...got a perfect score for it!!!

Sa wakas natapos din...
We made "something" out of straws and put a fresh egg in it.
The experiment was done a few hours ago.. during my English class, that's why i wasn't able to really see what happened. ='(
But after the class, i saw Sir Ian and asked for the grade of our group.
He said we got a perfect score...

The experiment was like this:

"Save the Egg Project"
(Egg drop)

• The egg will be placed inside our "creations."
• It will first be dropped from the 2nd flood of a building and will be checked whether the poor egg survived the fall.
• If there were no cracks, it will proceed to the next stage... a fall from the 3rd floor.
• If the egg still remain uncracked, the group would be given a passing grade.
• Plus, the construction and design of the "creation" will have respective points as well...

Di kami nanalo sa design... they said the other class got this award. Anyways, at least natapos na... no more problems... Exam na lang sa Lunes... right after makabalik ng Sunday from Sagada...

Exhausting summer.... indeed!

Neil Gaiman's SMOKE and MIRRORS<<<

I've been reading Smoke and Mirrors for weeks now. I bought my copy from National Bookstore, SM last February and just opened it this summer...
I really love Neil Gaiman and I'm trying to collect his books..
Coraline was the first book that I read from him - this was years ago. I borrowed the copy from a schoolmate.

As i was reading this one now, I got a mix of emotions from one story to the next. Maybe you were wondering why it took me so long to finish this. It's because I am not reading it continuously. If i have a break or just finished a book, I open this book and read one short story...
One piece at a time...
And I'm loving Neil Gaiman more and more...
(Plus points for the good looks despite his age... he's still cute...yeah... dangerously cute)

got the book: Gravity by Tess Gerritsen

Finally, I have the copy of this book - hardbound, used, but still in very good condition.
I bought it from BOOKSALE since I got interested with the topic and I saw at the back cover hoe Stephen King commented -- oh actually praise, yeah... I think that's the word -- how the author effectively wrote this book. He even stated that she is better than Cook. I had read one Cook novel and it was really great! How much more about this one?
I'm really excited to finish Life Expectancy...
next target... Gravity, of course.

newly borrowed books...

even though i recently bought some books...
i just can't keep myself from looking over other books...
especially I'm now here at the library and have nothing to do for 2 hours... (i already reviewed my lessons for the next class - English).
as i was looking for some books in the shelves at the back... i saw the book entitled Illusions and took it out... Richard Back wrote it, and i expect it to be good like what he did with Jonathan Livingston Seagull...

as i went to the other side... i picked another book which i once borrowed before - paradoxes from a to z.

i checked these books out and hope to find new insights from them.

Lost

Confused.
Silent.
There's a crossroad.
You stopped
and tried to look back...
The past is bitter.
The present is uncertain.
Tomorrow...
Would there be a tomorrow?
The road is dark...
The sun is black.
The wind is harsh..
A tear.
A sob.
An end...

this is my latest update on my deviantArt account...
just a poem..
i just love the title..

sweet frustration (a light verse for my English class)

Amidst the feelings of desire
From that moment of regretful silence
Through the cold sleepless nights
Until something was created
Beneath her innocent flesh
Like a seed growing from the inside
Despite the evil voices in the dark
Across the vastness of her thoughts
Between a YES and a NO
After all the confusion
In spite of the doubt and the fear
During the time she was given
Down the end of the rope
Above all the pain and suffering
Out of her, an angel was sent.

this was the light verse i was able to produce as an assignment for my English class...
our topic?
obviously the use of PREPOSITIONS>>>

no class in Physics today.... :)

class is canceled...
i guess Prof in not in the mood to teach this morning.
readings were just given and were are here at the library to have them photocopied,.,
57 pages in all and we will have our 2nd long exam tomorrow...
hope i can finish reading them tonight..
and hope to do better on the exam...

reading False Pretenses by Catherine Coulter

started reading this book yesterday around lunch time..
it's a nice book..
good plot,,
great characters...
unexpected twists...
even if this was her first suspense novel,,it really worked out fine,...
I'm now on its last pages..
i still don't know what to expect..
would it turn out as a happy ending for Elizabeth and Jonathan?
would Dr. Christian Hunter, the shrink who saved and who was madly in love with Elizabeth and who actually killed Timothy Carleton, be discovered as the killer?
how would Catherine and Rowe end up?

oh.,.
still too many mysteries,,,
hope to have a blast in the end...

class on Graduation Day...oh no.... plus lunch date with a few close friends...oh yeah!

we just had our class in Physics 11...
well, ok lang naman..

kaso i expected it to be canceled for the Baccalaureate Mass so my mind was somewhere i haven't explored yet...
eh tapos na,,,wala na ako magagawa...
pumasok pa rin ako..

anyway i learned something naman..
about the 'Electromagmetic Radiation' thing...
that it is produced by two objects (like a cellphone and a computer/speaker/radio) when they tend to be close and if a message was received, a sound will be heard due to the interaction of the magnets (or whatever it is) within the equipment...

haha..
practical application...

and a magnet close to something like a cellphone or TV could totally damage the functions of that device...
well..
it shows that i still pay attention though i think we shouldn't be seating there a few
moments ago..

well..
right now, just waiting for the time to tick 12 'coz i have a lunch date with Ate Mika, Kuya Loren (probably) and Alodia...
good to eat with them..
it's been a long time since i've done this..
looking forward for the nice food that will be served...=)

plus happy din ako because the sun is shining brightly...
after so many days that the sky was gray and crying..
finally the sun has shown its beauty...
yeah...
maybe for a better day for the graduating students..
(and for me...haha)
*wink*

physics 11 first long eXam....

KAGABI
i tried to review 'til past midnight my lecture notes in Physics together with the heavy Physics book i borrowed from the library. i also opened my mail and saw that Sir Ian already sent me the copy of the past lessons. unfortunately, i wasn't able to have it printed because it consumed 12 pages and it cannot be copied perfectly on MS Word - some figures and illustrations cannot be pasted and the equations were all scrambled up when i tried to copy the whole lecture.

good thing my notes are quite clear and complete - i think so.

KANINA
i woke up early to get prepared.
i arrived 20 minutes before the time... so early.
Sir Lem took charge in giving us our exam... no problem with me.

the bad thing was that the test paper and exam sheets which were distributed are all color brown (and the paper seems to be in bad condition) and the words were really blurry (and there were horizontal blank lines which made reading more difficult). i was able to finish the exam but i'm not sure if i got them right. another thing is that some questions weren't discussed (like the topic on Conservation of Momentum).

just hoping to have a passing mark.
i'll try to do better next time.

ulan ng ulan....nakakainis na,,,parang hindi summer!!!

i went or the school library to borrow a book in physics and to use the Internet to check my mail if i already got Sir Agulo's readings...
i came here while the sun was brightly beaming from above, it took me a couple of minutes before i was able to choose which book to pick.
when i came to the Serials Section of the lib, i was shocked to see the heavy rain fall! it was just a matted of minutes when the sun was just around.

so sad...
i really hate the rain like what i'm usually saying in my blogs.

i can't feel it's summer.
what the fuss!

my first night at the dorm

for summer class, i will be spending my warm (warm nga kaya?) days at the UP ladies' dorm...

hay..first time ko yung kagabi..
though may kasama ako sa room..of course nanibago pa rin ako...
katext ko pa kasi before going to sleep yung isa kong blocmate..
i tried to sleep...edi ok na...
pero pagising-gising ako..
then nagforward ba naman unf blocmate ko ng ghost messages,,,
ayun..lalo tuloy ako nahirapan,,
pero i think sa simula lang naman eh,,,
sana magsurvive,,,
haha,,,

so, so, so tired...

...i went to the city this afternoon to deposit some money..
the sun was striking its painful hot rays...
..
i felt really warm...
after depositing, i went to Tarlac State University to get the exam results of my brother,,
then i went to the mall...

walk-and-walk-and-walk-under-the-bright-bright-sunshine.
my skin is getting darker even though i'm using my Totes umbrella.,..
from the mall..
i made my way to the main street...

then to Far East Trading..
i bought tiny beads which eventually popped into jelly-like gaudy spheres when soaked for a few hours in the water...really nice..
then i looked for a place to buy some other stuffs,,,
..finally..
i rode my way to the terminal home,,
Good thing, i accidentally bumped with a friend..
an elementary and high school classmate..
we chat with each other while waiting for a ride...
she told me updates about some of our friends,,,
It's so nice to see an old friend again after a long time,,,
..
I went home exhausted..
yet happy for what had happened...
so nice to bring back the memories,,,,indeed,,..

a happy feeling...after finishing my last exam for this sem... =)

...after magreview til 4:30 in the morning kanina...
sa wakas, natapos din ang madugong exam sa 102!

ang sarap ng feeling...!!!!
of course, my mga di ako nasagot and sure din n meron akong mistakes pero ok lng...
at least feeling ko papasa naman kahit pano...

tapos na ang exams...
pwede na huminga...
submissions na lang na ibang requirements (psych 140) and STFAP...hay...
then..
uwian na!!!

it's over......!!!!!!!!!!!!

so hectic...i can't even breathe

...it's Saturday...the sun hides behind the clouds - this-makes-me-sad-sad-sad.
we have no classes.
but it's more demanded to go to school today.

We have our class practice for PE2 - Dance Aero.
You know what happened?

• I came first
• Not even a half attended
• We practiced at Sunshine Park where we were bathed with smoke (eeew! so annoying because i just took a bath!)
• We learned just a few steps
• We dismissed early
• Nothing so much was gained

Today is the scheduled day of thesis defense of my graduating orgmates and friends. I'm so sad I can't watch them because I still have lots of things to do. And one thing more, I'm only wearing shorts. Though it is ok, i still feel that i should have worn anything more formal for the event. =(
Right now, i'm here at the university library (AGAIN) to find more reading materials for my exams. Library hours is extended up to 7 in the evening. I still have to do research for our experiment. I need to do my auto-shaping for my Psych140 class. Our Behavior Modification Program (BPM) group project is still hanging.

I have more than a hundred-page reading to get done til Monday.
So pathetic.
Wish i am a superhuman...
But i know i can. It's not my attitude to give up easily.
Yes, i can!
