Artsy Coloring skills: I WANT!

2011-12-21T01:23:00.001+08:00

Believe it or not, I bought my first ever REAL color pencils just this year. Real, meaning not the cheap ones that can't even imply pigment. I have bought them midyear and I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEM! I wanna be able to use them properly and be able to see (if possible, feel) and not just imagine.

That is why I'm setting a deadline. Twenty twelve's just around the corner and new resolutions must be filed. I'm going for this.

RESOLUTION #1: Learn some coloring skills.

Some attempts at coloring:

Day off at Sirao/Tawagan

2011-08-07T22:57:00.001+08:00

After more than a year (I think) I finally went back to this bukid. I took a lot of pictures because 1.) I love the view up there and 2.) I'm a cam whore (no use denying that ^^;).

First, a quick stop to fix the flat tire. Sucks for us but hurray for the cornetto! :D

Couldn't help but pull some crazy faces.

Arrival. From Central Highway.

Most people in the area plant and sell flowers for a living. Come near the end of October and these fields will be filled with nothing but flowers.

Chrysanthemums

Looking at the pink daisies.

The daisies. :))

Capturing the green.

Waiting for mama. She walks too slow. ><

And the best part, the rose field. *WARNING: pic spam ahead* :3

And the asters:

Then it was goodbye. :)

I'm coming back soon. Hopefully, more flowers are up for photos. :))

Late Reaction to a Graduation

2011-07-06T02:28:00.001+08:00

If I remember correctly (because I didn't check), my last post was mid-April. I had a lot of things I should have posted here but I didn't. Why? Sloth. So why now? Let's say, I heard about a graduation.

Not MY graduation, but After School's Bekah.

I just had to react.

It was announced last June 17, so this is pretty behind. Sorry, during those times, all I thought was Cebu, Cebu and Cebu. I should have checked AKP. hmph!

So who is Bekah? She's one of my girl-crushes. Period.

Although there were already signs of her withdrawal from the group (she hasn't been present in the past months), it's still heart breaking to actually hear its confirmation. I've always anticipated her parts in After School's songs and her rap was my favorite in Lee Hyori's Bring It Back. I remember halting what I do just to get ready to hear her part. I'm gonna miss her. Her and her smile that makes me think of sunshine :(

And she's left even before she got properly appreciated. :(

Gahee, don't graduate soon.

Four Crooked Fingers

2011-04-17T23:39:00.004+08:00

I hope they look a little bit straight in this pic.

... of my hands count the number of days I have left in Cebu. I finally have a bag and some dry clothes. Most of my slacks have retreated to one of it's corners (boy, I must watch on the kilos :s) and relevant and irrelevant papers have been tucked into envelopes and clearbooks. I guess I just started packing. ^^;

In fairness, nangluod ko sa akong mga friends. Uip! usahay ra tawn ko mangluod! >_<

So maybe I don't have control over them. See, they're planning to have a get together (or something like that) on the 25th. Well, obviously, I won't be here by that time. I suggested that they do it on the 20th instead, so that, even for a little while, I could meet them and claim the promised treat on their first paycheck (so maybe more on the treat). Sigh. I didn't like their reason for not having it on Wednesday. I mean, come on, I'll be miles away AND I can't see them for at least a year. This isn't just some weekend get-away! Oh well, I hope they read and ignore so I'll have a reason to permanently forget them.That kinda sounded like a threat there. :/

Bitter much? YES, BITTER KO! >(

Dearest DOST, WHERE IS MY SPTP ALLOWANCE? The other scholars have received theirs but my bank account says NADA. Where did I (and a some) go wrong? This is cruelty. T______T

FIVE DAYS!

2011-04-16T12:54:00.000+08:00

Charles Demuth (1883-1935)
The Figure 5 in Gold (1928)

Metropolitan Museum of Art

5 -> the fifth Fibonacci number and the number of days left before I leave Cebu and begin screwing my life all by myself. I need to start packing!!! (and still have a lot of laundry left too. D:)

I "Gate-crashed"...

2011-04-15T18:45:00.000+08:00

I bought ID cases at school for my friends who saw me as an errand runner (heh :<) and called me barely after 12, which sucks because the Offices opened at 2PM. I hate waiting. Anyway, I was able to secure 7 cases and spent all of my money including my new 50 Peso bill. RAWR!

I had to complain. I can't believe they only paid me 5 each for the effort. I had to send it to them personally and the jeepney fair to Ayala is 9php. Oh God, the things you do for abusive friends. :/

So I went on a 12L (I'm starting to hate Manila for not having jeepney codes :/) and rode to Cebu Business Park. I needed to enter their building so I got myself to make some excuse just so I could go to the 7th floor. My gosh! Manong guard was so meddlesome! He insisted I apply at Accenture instead of Alliance (because that was my excuse :P). It took some time telling him that I prefer Alliance over Accenture. I left him and his face was saying "I swear you must go to Accenture first". Who cares? As long as he doesn't ask for my resume (I didn't bring any :P).

So I was able to meet up with my friends, collected their money (the most important part of meeting them hehe) and even got to the building's roof deck/canteen. Haha, all the time praying that security wasn't looking for me. XD

Bb Pilipinas 2011: Rants by an Untrained Eye

2011-04-11T02:55:00.002+08:00

This year's Bb Pilipinas (BP in short) is my first. It was aired on GMA in the past so I didn't bother watching it (hehe) though I did catch a peek once. I didn't like the stage so I went to sleep :P.

The only local beauty pageant I've watched so far is Ms Philippines Earth so I was not familiar with how things went in this pageant. How they place the ladies, like what are the basis for International or Universe (and in the past, World) is a mystery to me. I guess I can't say anything about that. I'd be happy if someone'll enlighten me about this. ^^;

Bb 26, the eventual winner of the Bb Pilipinas-Universe 2011, got me WOW-ing even during the her first intro. She's an effin Architect, a magna cum laude and, found out after the crowning, a board Topnotcher. Effin FIRST. Okay, THAT is beauty, body AND, definitely, BRAINS. She got 3 of the minor awards. Whoever said one can't have everything? I wanna worship this girl. Ms Shamcey Supsup, you make me think all my efforts are so minute compared to yours. T_T

Anyway, let's get to the more pageant -based rants. :)

What was wrong with the gowns? They were horrible, at least, most of them. I wanted to tear my hair off my head when I saw Bbs. 1-5 's gowns. They looked like expensive pambahay to me. Not worth prancing on the stage of BP.

The intermission number of the 4 girls. Most of them looked really awkward. The whole time I was "ah..... oooookaaayyy". The Mateo guy looked really weird while uttering the word "cry(?)" to Venus Raj, and Venus, had a bad hair day. Haha, the hosts were okay. Some mistakes here and there but they were fine. I loved Lara's 1st gown. The slit action was "Woah"!

Good thing BP got shown on ABS-CBN. I like watching pageants here rather than at channel 7. Their selection of judges were way better than the other channel's (in my humble opinion). :)

Congratulations to the winners! :D

My Graduation Speech... hehe

2011-03-26T18:38:00.001+08:00

Four years ago, I was randomly picking up a course supported by DOST, three hours ago, I received my degree in Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.

Now, I still don't want to take off my graduation dress because this was expensive and I only wore it for 3 hours. :P

I kinda don't like this picture but this is the

only solo pic of me wearing my toga with medal ^^;

I'm not sure if this will reach the people I intend to tell this to (and probably it's for the better ^^;), but I'd still want to take this chance to say something to the people who've made these four years miserable, tolerable, hellish and enjoyable, a mixture of everything there is to come up with a worthwhile experience.

To El and Tlyn, I offer you my spazz for sharing my fascination on Korean Pop culture. Tlyn, I'm gonna miss being your mailbox... but that doesn't mean I don't wanna quit. :P Come to Manila when any of your Kpop gods hold a concert there. I'd gladly meet you. :D

To my group mates in my past projects, you stressed me out so much! Though I think I gave you the same! I do understand I'm a little bit too demanding sometimes. Hahaha! I learned a lot from you about human nature, especially in controlling my patience and dealing with people. :)

To my seatmates who are the ones who suffer the effects of my ADHD more often than the others, my sympathies. XD

To Chiky, thank you for sometimes ditching your boyfriend for me. I hope there'd be more ditching for me. Haha! Suway sad panglibre nako uie!

To Chiky's boyfriend, Kheen (not sure with the spelling)... peace! :D

To Jandy, thank you for a lot of stuff also. I loved your hugs... I want a pillow as substitute. ^^;

To my friends from the IT department, in fairness, even though I'm a CS student, you still made me feel accepted. During those times when I felt like an outcast, you were there to make me feel I belong. Thank you :)

To DOST sa CIT, am I considered as one of your most active members? Or is it just my imagination? Haha, either way, thank you listening to my rants over the allowance.

To my friends from the lower years, kamo nya sunod kung dili mu-end ang world! XD

To my classmates, who sometimes label me as "others", hi.

To the CCS faculty, thank you for letting me pass and overlooking my sloppy attendance and almost-consistent record of tardiness. :D

To Mr. Elmer Maravillas, seriously sir, di ko karecover sa akong 3.7 nga major. Grabe. FYI, ang mga subject ra nimo ang akong TRES nga major and ang Intelligent Systems ra jud ang class nga ako jud intawng gitarong! Wala katunga sa effort nga akong gihatag para ani nga class ang akong gihatag sa uban nakong subject. Bisan katong kang Mam Dean! Di jud ko karecover because that was the only subject I could actually say, "I studied religiously". Di jud makaya, Sir. Bisan gihatagan ko nimo og 4.4 sa Special Problem 1. DI JUD. Daun mas dako pa jud ang akong "gitabangan"! D:

To Mam Dean, thank you for being supportive. One of the reasons I was quite happy with my choice of school was you. You are such a great teacher. I hope that one day I'd become someone like you. Please do continue inspiring future IT professionals. :)

To Mam Larmie, thank you for trusting me, for picking me up among the many students who would have been more willing, and probably more able, to represent our college outside the school. Of course, also for letting me explore iPhone Development. It gave me so much trouble but it was all worth it. :)

To DOST - my scholarship sponsor-, if it weren't for you, I won't be here typing my graduation speech. If my college life were a car, you were the key that started its engine. You were super late this year. Late, as in I haven't received my summer allowance. Still, thank you for sponsoring my college education. :)

To my siblings, thank you for being almost as crazy as I am. I think I'm successful at rubbing some of my lunacy on you.

To my parents, I gave you so much headache, I know. From when I was in the bottom of the class in high school to intentionally forgetting to pass my CNU application requirements to selfishly deciding to work in Manila. Thank you for allowing me to have complete reign over my life. I owe you so much, I don't even think I can make up half of it. :)

To myself, be brave. Be at your best even when confronted with the worst. Thank you for surviving. You're strong, nothing can push you down, only yourself. :)

To everyone else, thank you for being part of my college life. See you sometime later. Hopefully, manghatag mo nako og piso kung manguhit ko ninyo sa kilid sa dan. Malain jud ko kung dili!

Frustrated, betrayed, ANGRY

2011-03-23T00:21:00.000+08:00

"'Pag may gusto, may paraan. 'Pag ayaw may dahilan."

Frustrated. I've worked so hard for the past few months. I've had sleepless nights at home and hopeless days in school just trying to figure things out and to make things work the way it should. I did not expect anything that would match my efforts, though I did expect the less than 20% I did not do to be done. I refuse to eat the dirt all by myself, afterall, I am not the only one who will claim the prize for it. I was wrong for doing it and curse me for that. I should have eaten the dirt and claimed the prize.

Betrayed. Trust, something I have learn in the past few years. There are just things we have to rely others to finish. I shouldn't have relied on anyone. Not with this at stake. I just feel betrayed.

Angry. At myself and somebody. I'm angry. I just risked the chance at wearing my toga on my graduation day because of all of this. Damn this! Curse this! I knew I shouldn't have trusted and expected anything. I should have listened to my inner voice, that it couldn't be done.

I'm dropping it. I'm claiming what deserves to be mine.

Me and the Color PINK

2011-03-14T01:17:00.000+08:00

I got Tanky(my netbook) a new bag a few weeks ago. When I came home and showed it to my mom she was like: "milagro! nagpink!"

My mother thinks I hate pink. O_O

Okay, STOP, mother. Just because I choose red/black clothes over pink ones when we're shopping doesn't mean I dislike the color! In fact, I love it! Back when I was a child, I remember wanting to claim the pink ranger status all for the reason that she IS THE PINK ranger.

And that is also why I like strawberry flavored food. When I try a certain food for the first time, I grab the strawberry-flavored ones first and/or the chocolate. It's very hard for me to try pick another yogurt because I love the ones with strawberry bits in it. :D

And also, I like applying and wearing eye make-up when I'm at home

That may be the case but I seldom get spotted wearing the color... and I do have reasons:

1. I don't own pink clothes. I don't know why but I'm more attracted to black clothes. Probably because all the designs I want are only available in black. The style of my clothes matter to me more than the color. Usually these are out of the box (the question usually is : will I dare?) though some I only wear when I have no other choice *cough*laundry*cough*. The hot pink top I wear sometimes is my sister's. She dislikes that shirt. Good for me. XD

2. I have this color rule. So maybe color does matter to me. Bold colors shouldn't have flashy designs and styles. Unfortunately, I have a habit of picking up those kinds of clothes. Hehe. I love bold colors on random this, like mouse (I'd like to buy one soon ) and kerboard (just no effin' hello kitty D:)

3. Pink does not suit my skin color. Thank you very much.

I <3 pink! :D

Big Bang is Officially BACK!

2011-02-24T00:36:00.001+08:00

Big Bang finally dropped their mini-album! Finally! The songs all sound epic. I dunno if it's just me being biased to these boys but I think I'm not (heh). Hearing TOP's voice at the start of a song sure is heavenly. Cafe, try it and you'll definitely feel eargasm even just at the start. I'm listening to it right at this moment. :D

Here are the audios. I can't wait for the MV's. BIG BANG IS BACK!

Tonight

Cafe

What is Right

Somebody to Love

Hands Up

Every nerve in my body is tingling with excitement right now so let me leave you to enjoy our beloved boys because I will do so myself. :D

Btw, I need a spazz companion. XD

A Day Before the Big Bang!

2011-02-23T00:39:00.002+08:00

I'm excited! Woah! All these teasers got me on my toes! Big Bang ftw! :D

I can't really make any coherent comments right now because of all the excitement except I like what I'm hearing! Less than 24 hours, baby! Big Bang is back! :D

Make It Happen by Namie Amuro ft. After School

2011-02-22T09:45:00.000+08:00

Namie Amuro collaborated with After School for Make It Happen which PV was released lately. I love this PV. It's like looking at 8 dolls dancing plus the queen doll. The girly girl in me just couldn't take her eyes away. <3

This is After School's first effort to enter the Japanese market. They'll be releasing their own album soon and that's something I'm really looking forward to as an After School fan. I really miss Bekkah though. :(

Btw, are Namie Amuro's songs always like this? I'm not into Jpop so I have no idea. I'm checking her out because I'm loving it. I guess she's earned a fan in me. :D

Broke my Record :(

2011-01-24T21:03:00.001+08:00

Yesterday I found out that I wasn't in the Dean's list last sem. I was kinda expecting this but still I held that tiny bit of hope that I would still be able to slip on the list. Ironically though, last semester was probably one of those times my grades coincided with my effort towards my class, at least in two classes.

Sigh... I seriously thought I'm gonna find my name on all the Dean's lists of the first semesters. Disappointing but I can't really dwell on it, and it's kinda hard to say better luck next time. I really do suck at academics... or probably just the grade-obtaining part of it. :(

2010 Milestone: Ako ra ni. :)

2010-12-31T23:50:00.072+08:00

This year was kind to me. A lot of good things happened. So many realizations of dreams.

Milestones of my 2010:
1. got my OJT done with flying colors... but not with the highest grade. Still, it worked better than I thought it would because it resulted in number 4. :)
2. 3/4 of my last year in college happened on this year.
3. We got connected to the internet. hehe
4. got a job offer. :)
5. passed two certification exams. I almost lost hope on PhilNITS. Thank God for little miracles. :)
6. learned Objective C and was able to program something on a Mac. This got me unlimited access to our College. I know. heh. I also experienced a little bit of Linux.
7. This may not seem to be an achievement but I think it is. hah! Was able to play with an iPod touch and an iPad. I enjoyed it though I still don't think I want one. ^^;
8. was active in my blog. I also got a tumblr. :)
9. Tanky arrived. :3

The thoughts that came to me this year:
1. I enjoy my course more than I thought I did.
2. I'm crazier than I thought was normal. heh!
3. I'm very tihik and I like it. :D
4. I have to learn how to be independent. I might live half of next year alone so I really have to work on this one.
5. I'm quite a lucky person. Well, not the raffle ticket kind of lucky... mine's sort of long-term kind of lucky. It's kinda hard to explain. ^^;
6. It's very hard to find somebody with the same wavelength as mine.
7. I met people who might be of help to me in the future. Career, y'know.
8. I still love designing clothes. I haven't been doing a lot lately though. :( I wanna do a project next year on this one. :)
9. I made plans to the future. the spans 4-10 years. It'll be one hell of a journey. :)

And the list went on, for both categories, of course. This year was really jam packed! Thank you to everyone that was with me this year. You all made it great for me. Even those who were a little bit evil on me, I learned from you anyway. :)

iPhone madness

2010-12-19T11:40:00.000+08:00

No, I don't have an iPhone, will probably never have one. I'm currently being engaged (being engaged because I was kinda pushed to do it) in two iPhone apps. One of the apps is required before I graduate, the other one is kinda optional but I'm treating it as a requirement. Hope I succeed at making the two. :3

Black

2010-12-13T20:20:00.000+08:00

If I were a color, i'd be black. The reason? It's for me to keep but I assure you it's not because I'm evil. :)

First Increment DONE!

2010-12-13T17:40:00.000+08:00

A day late from my self-declared deadline (minus the weekend of course :3) but that wasn't my fault :P. I'm gonna wash myself off that. Haha!

The tap functions are now functional. The pinch feature is giving me so much fun. haha! I still have the animation to work on (I decided that feature should be my 2nd increment :3) and the shake function (2d for 3rd increment, 3d for 4th increment).

I have a thought in my mind. I don't know if the iPhone it will be running on already has a certificate or not. If it doesn't have one then it's gonna be a little bit of trouble... if the someone who ordered this done won't be willing to pay $99... or he also won't be willing to jailbreak it. Not really MY problem but it'll suck if my project won't be able to run in its appropriate environment (and not just the simulation which can't even implement a proper shake function).

Well... Hoping for the best! :D

Santa's Arms

2010-11-20T02:17:00.000+08:00

Behold the random idea that struck me at midnight.

The story behind the skirt:
I know it looks like an oversized shakoy but actually it's not. I got the idea for the skirt after seeing santa's arms. I know, totally weird, but if it hadn't been for those arms I wouldn't even think of looking for a paper and pencil and install the printer on Tanky in the middle of the friggin night.

Forgive the feet. I'm still no good at drawing them ^^;

I was then Sleeping Beauty

2010-11-18T01:09:00.004+08:00

... until I found out that I passed the PhilNits exam I took last month.

....
Speechless
....

Words can't even begin to explain how happy I was an hour ago when I a friend tagged me in Facebook congratulating me and other passers. Whoa! My heart was put to halt when I read it. I clicked on the link she provided in one of her comments and my heart skyrocketed. I was a little bit skeptic given my very common name but the examinee number was the same as mine!

I need a more intense happy emoticon. The simple ones just can't picture my feelings right now.

Update:

My brain was not working an hour ago. Since I've passed it na, I guess I could get rid of these review books I so treasured (in case I failed... AGAIN). More space in my room... and money for me. XD

My Christmas Wish List '10

2010-11-16T10:06:00.001+08:00

Pretty realistic for this year :D

Elmo stuffed toy
A pink bag for Tanky
A cuter mouse (mine's already cute hahaha)
fashion designing book. Found one in Natio. costs around 4k. D:
a bag. A really BIG one.
a new skipping rope
one piece dvd :D
2ne1's To Anyone :D
A BIG funky mug.

Last Second Semester

2010-11-15T14:47:00.000+08:00

Second semester... the usual laid back part of the school year. This one's special though. This will be my last. Hah! I'm excited! Can't you tell? XD

Anyway, classes have started. I have a pretty nice schedule. Only half days on weekdays. But we all know the reason why it's so blank. It's to give time to the dreaded thesis D: My topic was already approved and I have to produce my first increment on or before December 4. I hope I get everything done a week before that.

I'll be busy the whole time, contrary to the very empty schedule posted on my corkboard. If not for the thesis, for a competition. I wouldn't want to be a burden to my teammates so I better shape up. I'm trying my best not to sleep while reading books right now. I even read while I'm in school (something I have to thank Tanky and my mom on). There's almost no time for anything else. D:

I enrolled myself to a different FreeEl. I would have wanted to take that Nihonggo class they are taking up right now but I figured I wouldn't be able to use it as of the moment. I'm having a Management class. The instructor's one funny guy though I hope he isn't like my Rizal instructor (off-topic most of the time).

Tanky

2010-11-07T00:32:00.000+08:00

Tanky finally materialized... but there are a few problems here:

It's OS is Linpus Linux... I tried using it but I do not understand a thing. Sure, the UI's great but I don't have the time to learn how to use it. I have an assignment I need to do within a week. I have no idea how to install all the applications I need because it doesn't run an exe file (everybody know that). D:

Oh... Nachange ang spelling ni Tanky... from Tankie to Tanky. Well, anything's fine basta it's read as Tanky. :D

Requirements For Graduation

2010-10-21T15:35:00.000+08:00

I can feel it. Yes, I can feel it.

I'm graduating next sem. No, I wouldn't attach a "hopefully" because I know I'm gonna make it happen. YES, it will happen next sem.

But before that, I'm going to have to accomplish and acquire a few things. Excluding those that are compulsory for graduation, here are the things I have to do before I plan to actually leave the classroom.

1. NBI clearance and an SS number

- This goes without saying that I need to get these two in the future, but getting these before grad is more convenient (methinks). I wanna give my time to relaxation after receiving that degree.

2. Passport

- I didn't expect to get one anytime soon... but apparently, it's one of the requirements for the job offer I got. And they told me I can travel without worrying about dost! but for work of course! ^^;

3. Birth Certificate.

- I have one but it's missing. Worst case scenario's I have to line up again (that was a nightmare T__T).

The next numbers are only necessary for when I do decide to go to Manila. Optional otherwise (well... for the mean time).

4. Learn how to do business with a bank

5. Learn how to use LBC

- I've been accepting packages but I never really had a chance to send one. hmmm

6. Learn to live away from my family

- huhu... T____T

7. Learn to cook.

8. Find a roommate or two. share an apartment anyone? T__T

Last Days to Sembreak

2010-10-17T18:24:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was technically the 1st day of my 3-week vacation.

Technically because I still can't feel it.

Last week was finals week but I didn't feel it too. I was busy bothering about our system. I was in charge of the integration so all the bugs that didn't show up during the individual coding were all thrown at me, not to mention some weren't ready for integration. It was tough debugging each and every component and sometimes, recoding from scratch. I was such a mess then. :( I was finally done with the system and fixing all the "known" bugs on Saturday at around 4AM. I was like "weeh?" at that time probably because I was already too numb to feel anything. People who lack sleep know what I mean. :)

Well, finals... I don't think I did too well with the tests. I wasn't able get an ounce of studying to begin with. All I can hope for is for my grades not to go down the bottom of the hill. That'd be a little inconvenient... actually, a huge inconvenience on my part :S

Though I was a little troubled by our system, Tuesday was a great day. :)

The today me is hurting. My right eyelid's currently swelling, presumably because of lack of sleep. I find it hard to believe a bug bit me because if a bug did, I would have known because I didn't sleep. My right eye was hurting all throughout Friday night (I'm sorry body, I've been abusing you T__T) and was growing uncomfortable till it finally swelled on Saturday morning. It hurts to close my eyes. :( I don't have sore eyes. Please spare me. T__T

I gave myself a free day today. Tomorrow, I'm going to dig the books. I need to get serious now. My future is at stake. Oh, I also have a VERY important meeting tomorrow. I hope it goes well. :D

My Wish Was Granted

2010-10-15T22:26:00.004+08:00

-------------------------The Happening----------------------------

Right now, I'm a mess. I'm a happy mess.

Last Tuesday, God granted me my wish through an email. And dammit, I'm just too happy to even think of any other word than happy.

I got a job offer. :D

I've been wishing, praying to God, that I get a job offer from the company I had my ojt last summer. I thought I wouldn't get any love calls after my phone got stolen and I failed to give them my new number. I thought they wouldn't bother checking my email address, after all, most companies do call and not mail. But heck, Gmail received an email! God, thank you!

----------------------The Consequence-----------------------

Unfortunately for me, I promised myself to "libre" my classmates if I ever did get contacted, fortunately for them. Lol. They didn't know what was happening and assumed it was all because my allowance came (what a shallow reason :c). Well, the "libre" my classmates(dubbed as the "FEEDING PROGRAM" lol) ended up including my teachers (kinda). I figured I should give them some too, after all, they were one of the reasons why I'm here. I couldn't libre all of them (because I'm not that rich and it's still just a job offer. But then again, I guess I'm tihik).

The faculty probably thought it was only for Ms Leah (we called it BRIBE. hahahaha). Actually, the first box was. The second was for everyone... nga makaabot. hahaha

Maggie at the Moment

2010-09-21T14:04:00.000+08:00

Promises to eat properly starting tomorrow. I think this might be the reason why my brain's a little passive these days... So I'm gonna try eating 3 meals starting tomorrow.
Is busy with stuff. Been saying that for quite some time but the work never lessens. And it seems I'm not getting things done an event I attribute to not eating properly.
It seems that I can only think with food in my stomach
My prefinal exams were..... :S
Yes, Batman was good to go but the other superheroes were a little... T____T
Seems they were have troubles with this new job.
I'm typing anything that comes to my head right now.
I mean, seriously.
I want to read mangas but I can't because I have lots of school work to do... and I can't start working on any of them because I don't know where to start, which to prioritize and WHY I'M DOING SOME OF THEM!
Erase last reason, it's full of negetivity.
Take me away from this negative vibe!!!!!
I WANT A WAY OUT!

Fire Lady

2010-09-21T04:01:00.003+08:00

At around 3:30AM, I decided it was time for me to rip myself off the internet and get some rest for today's 7:30AM class.

The plan went on smoothly. I closed all the windows, turned off the pc. Then I decided to prepare for tomorrow's class. Photocopied a paper we need to pass after it got smeared with eyeliner ink (is that how it's called?). That's when it all went haywire.

The paper I photocopied was kept in this book case sort of thing (I'm not one who's good with terminologies :P). A bad habit of mine is that when I get near heaps of paper, I tend to rummage through them. Most of the time I even forget why I was getting myself the trouble but still continue. My head tends to get lost when it comes to papers. Did I ever mention I'm sort of a neat-freak on papers? To the point that it's almost some sort of disorder? I think this is a side-effect of that disorder.

So as I was saying, I was going through the papers for no apparent reason when I found the lady who tempted me to press the power button, scan and post something on my blog. All at 4:00AM in the morning.

The culprit who's temptation was irresistible:

Let's settle with calling her "Fire Lady".

Her feet're like that because... I didn't(don't) know how to draw feet. I mean, toes, phalanges in general. ^^;

What's different with this one is that she's colored. I don't usually color my work, the reasons being that I don't know how to color (I could say so because I know somebody who's damn great at it! >_<), and I don't have coloring materials... even until now. I mean, I don't have coloring materials that would satisfy me. Probably another side-effect of the disorder ^^;

Rizal on Rizal101

2010-09-15T20:14:00.001+08:00

I've been wondering what Rizal would have been thinking if he ever there was a subject about him in college. You know, about this awful invasion of privacy the law requires us to commit before getting our hands on a diploma.

So this is how I imagine my talk with Dr Jose P. Rizal would go like:

Me: Hey, Jose (feeling close ^^;). Know what? A lot of college students nowadays are cursing you.
JPR: Huh? Why? After I inspired our countrymen to fight against the oppressors? Shouldn't they be happy that they are now free from the Spanish rule and-
Me: that wasn't your goal. You wanted the Philippines to officially be a province of Spain.
JPR: Well, yeah, that was a misunderstanding, but they should still be grateful!
Me: I know. We would have been if it weren't for this law that required us to study your life!
JPR: Hey! What's wrong with my life? It's pretty neat that you study it! Who knows? Maybe my patriotism will rub on you? You should follow my examples! I'm a role model after all!
Me: Follow you? Sure! Like how you kinda cheated on Leonor Rivera? Or how you claimed to be in love with her while trying to work it out with Consuelo Orteg-
JPR: What? They include that in your lessons?!?!
Me: Yep! We kinda have a tally of all your women now.
JPR: ... (wtf?)
JPR: Seriously, who even thought of this law? This is invasion of privacy! I'm gonna sue!
Me: Still want us to study your "examples"?

JPR: Get a life!

Me: No can do, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. You're not the only one who wants a diploma! :P

Batman Won't be Enough

2010-09-15T18:46:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow's gonna be semi-final exams and I'm not even a bit ready so I had a small closed-door meeting with Batman. I wanted to make sure he'll save my *ss. Unfortunately, he's a little busy flourishing his friendship with Joker. They kinda get along with each other nowadays after Robin threw a tantrum about his suit and ran away from home.

They're like tight now... until the next crime.

Batman told me he can't cover me up, especially now that the coverage of my tests are a little bit wider than usual. So I told him it's okay, I'll rely on you for only one subject. You already did enough during last test. Besides, there are other superheroes who want to help me.

Batman: wh-what? other superheroes? You mean them? I thought I was your favorite?

Me: yeah, you are. And yes, I mean them...

One superhero per subject! hahahaha

MaggieToday

2010-09-15T18:01:00.000+08:00

I'm supposed to be studying for tomorrow's exam.
I, instead, started reading a new manga. Well, that certainly wasn't a very good idea.
Stuffed a squid with lots of onions, fried it, ate it. The onions were damn satisfying.
Went to the grocery to buy props for tonights "sunog-kilay" activities.
Ate a McSaver meal. Spagg + cokefloat. It was all an attempt to get me inspired to study.
I hope I bribed myself enough. need to start hitting my notes.
Tempted to get up from my seat and buy myself frozen yogurt.
Nah, I spent more than enough...
I really should start studying.

Doin' a Quickie

2010-09-14T11:36:00.001+08:00

A quick update on my chaotic life:

I've been eating and not eating lately. Haven't been into meals. Frozen yogurt's my thing lately. And I abused my Mcdo trips to buy cokefloat. I'm supposedly banning myself from fastfoods but what the h?
Developed a phobia of email accs. I'm staying away from my inbox for the time being.
Been so busy with school. I'm juggling so many projects right now and its getting me confused. Roar!
I'm now 50% regretting the school I got myself in to. No, it's not because of these busy schedules and all. It's about something else. The only comfort I always pat myself with is that I wouldn't have met Mam Dean if I enrolled somewhere else..
Yes, Mam Dean can fight off the other 50% b.ll...t this school made me encounter and deal with.
Trying to produce a list of all the things that make me tick. 1. crumpled paper 2. crooked wires...
Will try to avoid doing the list above because it will only remind me of those things. Cancel it.

Sketch: Mermaid

2010-09-09T17:52:00.000+08:00

My mom has been talking about buying a printer for quite some time now. Today, we finally went to SM to buy one and I was lucky enough to push her on buying a 3-in-1 after fumbling with all the excuses I could think of. Lol, I was more into using the scanner than the printer. ^^;

I did mention last time that the Goddess was just second in my favorite list. My favorite's here, The Mermaid.

I know, ok? she can't swim. Her body structure won't let her. But I really like her. I just do. :P

do you believe in GOD? Are you a catholic? if yes, do you believe its Doctrines 100%?

2010-09-01T23:48:00.001+08:00

do you believe in GOD? Are you a catholic? if yes, do you believe its Doctrines 100%?

Answer here

Do you consider yourself to be a giver or a taker? Why?

2010-09-01T21:18:00.001+08:00

Both.

This is similar to the question "Are you a parasite or a host?" I prefer the host, and yes, I do consider myself as one. It's better to be a giver who, even with the absence of a taker, can still continue on with his life rather than a taker, I prefer to call parasite/leech/worm, who only thrives on sucking off goods from a giver.

I say the above but I still have a "taker"-tendencies, I am after all still dependent on my parents... for the most part.

Everyone is part giver and part taker. If we want to build an effective society, people shouldn't be exclusively a giver or a taker. We must realize that there are those that we have to give and and those that we have to take.

And what a long answer did I give. :)

ask me... What?

Filipinos should Read...

2010-09-01T10:47:00.001+08:00

... Dr. José Rizal II's article "Analysis: Noynoy’s Major Major Booboo." This one's of the greatest reads I've had at AntiPinoy.com. It's one of my recent lurking places, too bad I found it a few days before May 10.

I don't usually share political views on this blog. I'm keeping my thoughts about the current administration as much as possible . Truth be told, I'm not comfortable running around bashing at the current president because people have known me to be a Gibo supporter. I've been told once that I was bitter that my candidate didn't win when I said I can't trust Noynoy's mental state (Sorry about that, but can you blame me? =P). Just to clear that bitter part: I wouldn't be acting/thinking this way if it were Gordon or even Villar who won. And no, you can't tell me it isn't possible for a man with mental instability to become president of this reason-forsaken country because if you've taken your Civics and Culture class properly, you would have heard someone (probably your teacher) say something that refers to Article VII, Section 2 of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines:

No person may be elected President unless he is a natural-born citizen of the Philippines, a registered voter, able to read and write, at least forty years of age on the day of the election, and a resident of the Philippines for at least ten years immediately preceding such election.

Sorry to burst your bubble but a tamable but still mentally unstable man CAN take charge of the highest position in the land. It's amazing how people aren't familiar with the above when I first heard that when I was in grade school. =P

If an indestructible and unstoppable object were to collide with an equally indestructible and unmovable object...what do you think will happen?

2010-08-30T23:05:00.001+08:00

nothing will happen because it is impossible for the two objects to coexist in the same universe. If there is a reaction for every action then at least one of the two objects should defy its description.

Ask me anything

What are your plans after graduation?

2010-08-30T22:41:00.001+08:00

Find a job so I can start paying my dues to the government. I need to cover up the four years I owed to DOST as fast as I can. :3

Ask me anything

What would your dream job NOT look like?

2010-08-30T22:20:00.001+08:00

The OPPOSITE of what my dream job will look like. haha.

A job that does not give me a sense of worth. I'd really hate it if my job only feels like I'm stalling time.

Ask me anything

Lessons as of Late

2010-08-28T23:12:00.003+08:00

1. No matter how much you want the best for everyone, some people just have a way to screw things up.

2. It doesn't matter how hard you try to do your best, many will still shrug off your work. Knocking some sense to these people without tarnishing your relationship is like hammering an egg with force without it spoiling its yolk.

3. There are some things you can't control, especially people. You can't drive them to become better either. It's all up to them.

4. Some people didn't grow up the same way I did and developed an entirely different personality. Though I've known that earlier, I've again found myself in a situation that prompted me to remind myself of this truth. People do not always have the same priorities as I do, the same passion and the same drive for perfection or at least, the same drive to achieve goals. We had different roots to begin with, also different air pollutants that poisoned our bodies. While growing, we carried different weights and overcame different bedroom horrors. Maybe if I say your personality is warped, you would say the same thing to me too. (different person in intended)

5. Regrets always come late in the game. I've promised myself not to ask what-if's ever since I entered college. Though I am quite satisfied with the course I had taken, there has been a lot of questions running through my mind nowadays. Maybe I should've just shrugged UP's needlessly elaborate enrollment process, and got myself there instead. Or maybe I shouldn't have accepted this attention-deprived scholarship to begin with and just stuck with the obedient daughter image my parents always wanted to see in me. Or maybe...

I'm beginning to think that all the fun I've experienced so far wasn't worth the trouble I'm getting.

Materialism Starts Young

2010-08-25T12:59:00.000+08:00

I found this from an article in one of my favorite websites, Cracked.com. Its title is "10 Tips for Raising the Children you Really Shouldn't Have Had" (no, you aren't the only one who thinks the title was too long). I'm quoting down one because its something I've found lacking in the people around me ( and the whole populace in general).

Financial Responsibility

The current level of financial education in the public school system is laughable, and if you want your child to grow up to be anything other than a male escort with crippling credit card debt, you owe them a solid foundation of money skills. From an early age, institute a system where your child receives an allowance in exchange for completing small household chores. This will encourage your child to develop a sense of the value of money and provide you a source of comically cheap labor. A well-designed allowance plan can get your entire roof re-shingled for as little as 80 dollars, plus materials.

Parents of today spoil their children. I may not be a parent but I do know the feeling when they see the faces of their children (in my case, brother) brighten up when their coveted something lands on their chubby little hands. Children grow up getting everything they wanted the easy way. Fast forward 10 years later, these young adults can now buy things for themselves... whether or not they or their families have the financial capability to do so. Of course they have the money today, but what about tomorrow? Or the next day after that? Are the merchandise they wasted money on even of any use without the context of the word "need" they refuse to call vanity? Who cares about those question? After all, the point of utmost importance is to "satisfy oneself" even if it leaves him/her hungry due to lack of food the next day (trust me, I know somebody who's like this. She needs to realign her priorities, I swear).

It seems to me that what Jose Rizal refers to as the "hope of our nation" is a materialistic bunch.

Disappointed Yet AGAIN

2010-08-24T06:33:00.000+08:00

I've been wondering why P-Noy didn't say anything while the hostage taking was on play.

Aquino said that they were gathering data about the hostage taking. Gathering data my foot! While the hostage taking was happening REAL-TIME, they were gathering data?! and that lasted for more that 10 hours? wtf?

Now he orders that the case of Rolando Mendoza be reviewed. Nice move. NOT!

Though this move of him was short of expected. >(

The Course WE Need

2010-08-23T14:51:00.002+08:00

I'll save you the effort of saying I'm reklamador because I AM. The consolation you'll be getting is that I complain with a reason.

This moan of discontent is dedicated to the curriculum I'm currently enrolled in, focusing on the absence of "Philippine Constitution" in it.

Tell me your views on Cha-cha after reading this and I'll count you.

It has always been a question of mine WHY I'm having (had) Literature, History, Rizal, Art Appreciation and not Philippine Constitution. Why do I have to take up subjects that I've been fed with since I started high school? Why am I studying about the personal life of a hero that has ceased to exist and not getting acquainted with the indirect result of his sacrifice? (Isn't that just ungrateful?) Why am I not studying for something more USEFUL in the future, not just for my self but probably the whole well being of the Filipinos? Why? Why? WHY?

Yeah, yeah... I probably shouldn't be pointing my guns at Rizal since he's got the law to back him up but still, why?

I Need My Modulos!

2010-08-21T23:25:00.000+08:00

And because I got pretty irritated about the troublesome feat I have to get through just to find what's 1542 % 264, I decided it was high time I stop wasting my time doing it... in the future.

The result:

I know, all right. Its basically a very incomplete calculator. I only has the operations. Actually, I was tempted to just place a modulo button but I figured if I did, then I'd have to open another calculator or something.

It isn't perfect... but it can do the modulo. =P

ALLOWANCE: Asa Na Ka? Naa Pa Ba Ka?

2010-08-20T22:52:00.002+08:00

Am I still waiting for SOMETHING?

If I'm not, can't you at least tell me NOW? It wouldn't make a difference whether you use euphemisms or not.

If I am, then please inform me how long this "waiting period" will last.

Please just make it clear.

Last time when Arroyo was still the president, the scholars always blamed her when allowances came in later than expected... who do we blame now? (If you know what I mean.)

YNTK: The House Buddy

2010-08-20T00:47:00.001+08:00

Sloth is my master. I love staying at home. Yes, staying at home makes me fat and does me little good, but hell, it's too troublesome to step out of the door and "laag".

So what do I do at home?

Nothing, as in NADA.

I guess I just like staying in one place. Apparently, the most convenient spot happened to be at home. I don't care if there's food or not, a place to sit, tama or sleep is enough for me. The internet is a bonus. Whenever I'm in Carcar I just stay put at my lola's home. No, I don't go out and explore what's new, I just... warm up in the house. :)

Travelling is probably not good for me. I've always thought about what I would if I were to go to somewhere. The only image that pops out of my head is of me sleeping in the suite I'm going to be staying at. probably some greeneries... but mostly of a view of the curtain across my room after I wake up. Hehe...

A Letter to My Brother

2010-08-18T22:00:00.003+08:00

Dear Brother,

The next time you feel like disassembling some pen, DON'T EVER, EVER EEEVVVEEERR use MY g-tec. Samot na if hilabtan nimo ang ink! Whoever told you blowing air on the ink will improve the pen's agi?

Why? First, because g-tec is not "JUST SOME PEN". Second: It cost 12 times your ordinary pen, and is very kapoy to buy. Third: It's MY pen. I've told more than a million times not to mess up with anything that isn't yours.

Sometimes, I wanna hate this cute face.

I hope you learn from this, Brother. Or you'll be getting some spanking. >(

Not in love you right now,

Maggie

Shirt Designs

2010-08-11T02:49:00.000+08:00

FACT: I am a minimalist. I hope that's enough explanation why I like everything simple and less complicated (redundancy intended). Don't make expect me to make designs with a lot of things in it because I'm not capable. =)

DOST sa CIT:

one?

two?

Designs I'd be more than happy to wear:

because it looks cool

because it makes me think of scales... and scales on human beings on the lower half (or close to the lower half) makes me think of mermaids... and I wanna be a mermaid. <3

YNTK: I Don't eat...

2010-08-10T03:17:00.002+08:00

YNTK: You Need To Know About Maggie. I decided to make series of posts about things that people need to know about me. Two reasons: one, being that a lot of people have misconceptions about me; two, I just feel like it! =P

With the forewords done, let's start!

>>Spicy food.

Except for the hipon used as sauce for indian mangoes, I can't tolerate spicy food. Some people think I'm insane but I eat siomai without the sauce thingie (I'm the only one I know who does that). I don't eat spicy food because it makes me think that the hotness hides the true flavor of the food... and I don't like my tongue being burned. Oh, and it raises your blood pressure( though mine's quite low, but still!).

>>Baby Eels or Bakasi.

I couldn't even stand to look at it. T____T

I don't eat these because I don't like the look they sport when they're cooked. You know, when they're dead, scalded and their mouths hanging wide open. Its like the face of horror in 6 inches AND I DON'T LIKE SHOVING HORROR INTO MY MOUTH. The sight terrifies me and haunts my sleep.

I hope you get the point.

>>Oily food

Glistening food is my arch-enemy. Also one of the reasons why I don't like peanut butter. Too oily. I swear I will abandon anything edible containing oil that can compete with the amount of saliva on my tongue! >(

>>Light Brown Soups
... along with anything floating, submerged or suspended in it.

along this color.

And the food that solidified this was kare-kare. Sorry if you love kare-kare but it makes me think of peanut butter soup( well it IS thick peanut soup!), and I don't like peanut butter. Mongos too. I eat mongos sometimes when it isn't too much of this color.

So Shoot Me, Netbeans!

2010-08-09T19:00:00.001+08:00

I've condemned using NetBeans on my certainly-not-perfect-and-definitely-slow computer. Unfortunately, I'm in the process of making a new project in it.

Why you ask?

I'm comforting myself because of today's canceled laboratory in Mobile App! I've already prepare the sprites for the game we're going to make! I custom-made them, dangit! Even the storyline and the intro are here! All the basics are ready and now I have to wait for a full week to get to start it?

Whattha?!?!

Grr... And I was so excited to say the least.

Sounds like some serious student's work, huh? No. I just think this things going to be fun. =P

Tae-Tae on Twitter

2010-08-09T10:20:00.002+08:00

I already have an image of the rabid fangirls' dancing, trembling and shouting (all at the same time while drooling) when they found out that Taeyang has a twitter!

BTW. He uploaded this on his TwitPic.

Sketch: Block

2010-08-07T14:42:00.000+08:00

I made her along the same time with the Goddess (and scanned them together ). I imagined her posing(?) inside a box thingie. She looks kind of unproportional when I think about it.

Whatever. I love her hair though (but I love the Goddess's more). =D

Sketch: Goddess

2010-08-07T14:31:00.001+08:00

I made her 2 or 3 years ago. I already forgot about her until recently when I opened myphotobucket and my sister requested it to be posted on fb. I figured I should also post it here. =)

My first work that I scanned. She ranks second in my fave list.

...Nada...

2010-08-07T14:10:00.002+08:00

Post Midterms...

2010-08-07T01:38:00.000+08:00

After sinking into all of the guilty pleasures I could think of during the one week called midterms seasons, I am now officially depleted off of my all my resources. My bank acc is also nada.

Now, I'm too scared to step up on a weighing scale just in case I find out I've gained 5 kilos in the course of 7 days. Take that for eating too much chocolate, chewing gum, drinking liters of pineapple juice, coffee and milk, sneaking out into the night to eat at Mcdo's, and spoiling myself with siomai and tongol.

And all of them on top of meals eaten 2-3 times a day.

During those sinful days, the only time I didn't see food in front of me was when all of them were already in my stomach... which, by the way, was easily remedied with a trip to the fridge.

Sigh, guess I'll be jumping my way out of this. Skipping rope galore!

**I bought a skipping rope for this purpose... so I actually bought it because I was amazed with Legally Blonde Musical's Whip into Shape number. Yeah, it was KICKASS!

Batman was Kind Enough

2010-08-06T12:50:00.001+08:00

He didn't slap me like what he did to Robin in the last post...

Remind me to buy your shirt... at least the one with the only your symbol =D

And I ended my Midterms without so much as a heartache! Maybe not in flying colors, but ending the midterms without needing major surgery is already a good thing! XD

I'll Lean on to Batman

2010-08-05T00:59:00.000+08:00

...because I suck at studying and I already lack the time to do so when I realized. So, yeah... Batman, don't be evil on me. Prove me why you're one of my favorite superheros.

And please don't do this to me... T___T

#1 Rule: Secure Yourself Before Others

2010-07-31T22:37:00.002+08:00

Before you go out giving heaps to people you do not know, first look if there's gonna be enough left for you. And not just enough, for today enough, but enough, for the year enough because everybody hates waking up one morning with a happy-feeling-turned-gloomy after giving off every last quarter to the nearby charity.

Before filling up these hands, make sure your hands and your bank accounts are.

Philanthropy can wait. Trust me, I know. I learned it the hard way. Philanthropy like this isn't philanthropy at all. It's called...

MARTYRDOM. And surprise! Martyrdom isn't very cool, especially if you lack the credits, in which case, it actually sucks.

I'm not against charity or something, I actually think it's a good thing. However, donating to charity and ending up as one in the process is actually... I don't know... you tell me.

Today, I fulfilled that dream and now I'm having a troublesome time thinking of a way to consume 200 ball gums in a week.

Why Midterms is a Pocket-sinker

2010-07-31T18:28:00.002+08:00

... along with the other major exam.

Yes, major exams are like escape routes for money. Off from the wallet they go.

Tuition
Unless of course if you pay your dues even before you could have the feel of school, major exams are the classic reminder that "school is a ~~privilege~~ right", only, paid. Students don't get to take exams without a few thousands go down the cashier's register. School's a business after all.

Exams Make You Eat (This is true in my case)
Whenever exams come, I always have this secret stash of fattening goodies. They don't come free. Yes, and they don't come in cheap. Hundreds of pesos for the supermarket owner.

Digital Bounce: My Version?

2010-07-27T22:43:00.002+08:00

After watching the practice video of Se7en, I felt so taken with it that I found myself dancing to the beat. I wanted to dance so much that I downloaded it and, yet again, broke another promise to NOT DOWNLOAD KPOP VIDS.

My reputation at keeping my promises is seriously going for the dive. Yes, I know. Thanks a lot.

So I watched it again and realized there were parts of the choreography that require more people, you know, for it to still have its effect. Their synchronized movements also added magic to the whole thing.

So I looked for someone at home who would be so kind to dance with me. Sister? think not. Brother? What the hell?

No one in sight.

Since this is the case, I thought I should just make my own version. I've already started with 4 counts? I need exercise anyway so this ought be a good chance.

I'm only setting my eyes on the chorus part by the way. around 16 seconds. lol... I'll do more if I change my mind. =)

*UPDATE: Done with the 16 counts. hehehe... The others will follow after midterms... or during midterms... or sooner?

Awesomeness is Digital Bounce

2010-07-27T20:19:00.002+08:00

... at least, I think the dance is. =D

I'll be honest. I don't appreciate the song a lot (actually, the whole album). It's too techy/electronic pop for me. But hey, if he performs this dance on music programs? Watching surely wouldn't hurt. =D

Success after the Unsuccessful Hiatus

2010-07-25T09:26:00.006+08:00

Behold! A creature so rare....

Oops! Wrong start!

A day rummaging through Visual C# and viola!

Here is [insert suitable name here] the walking man (?!?!?!). The only thing is can do he walk. Yes, just walk. Don't demand more because I'll wring your neck.

What a baby... *gasp*! You didn't just hear that!

Yes, I know he lacks in the graphics dep but what the hell? I'll leave him like that because I find imagining where the line was drawn a painful hassle. =P

A product of July 24, 2010. Yes I was doing this walking thingie while everybody else in the world was filming for YouTube's Filming Day and Tlyn was on her toes for her 20th birthday on July 25, 2010. You're old girl.

Yes, I should speak. =P

Submission to Temptation

2010-07-24T10:32:00.000+08:00

I'm sorry, myself, but I couldn't wait for Tankie to arrive next month. I just couldn't do it. I have neither the strength nor the willpower to prevent myself from installing C# and code.

Yes, this post marks the end of my coding hiatus, for reasons I ~~dramatically~~ revealed above.

Sorry, Tankie, I couldn't wait for you. I wanted to give you the privilege of processing my first home-made program for this school year, but DOST took too long in delivering our allowance. =(

I hope my next self-suspension will be a success.

Maggie Loves 2AM <3

2010-07-17T03:07:00.001+08:00

I'm supposed to be sleeping right now but I can't help myself post my love for 2AM.

I've heard the song's chorus twice, but even though I liked it when Kwon sang it for Gain, I didn't bother to search it to hear the entire song. Apart from the fact that I didn't really know its title.

Hell, I don't understand anything but why are my tears running? T___T

These guys can sing and with emotion. Frankly, I like hiphop groups more because I can dance to their music easier than other genres. It's fine with me if the song's gibberish. If I can dance to it, I'd add it to my playlist. It's rare for me to like ballads without understanding the lyrics. So yes, ballad groups are a disadvantage in my case.

But "usually" be damned, 2AM just caught my heart.

This group can sing! (duh?) And sing with contagious emotion! Who cares if they strip or not, they have the talent.

Though having some of these every once in a while would be great. =)

I've been kneeling over for Jo Kwon for quite sometime now but didn't really bother to check the group except when allKpop writes an article about their performance, which I also seldom see(Oh how wrong I was). I only got so fired up when Kwon released his single "the day I confessed my love." I have it on repeat sometimes. Everything is gibberish except for the "You are my angel" part but the song really makes me happy. So the next thing that happened were the videos above.

Yes, I am a certified Jo Kwon fan.

Geesh... I even know their names now, an indication that I really like the group. They've been officially added to the Kpop Groups that I Like list. =)

PS:

Shinee, SuJu. SS501, FT Island, C.N.Blue? My brain retrieves null. Nichkhun is the only one I know from 2PM. =3

My Parents Trying to Inspire Me

2010-07-11T17:24:00.000+08:00

... with food

... but seems like I need more bribe.

The Result of Adam Couple Marathon (the post is not for them though )

2010-07-11T14:38:00.000+08:00

Lately, I have been crazy over the Adam couple of We Got Married. Thank the heavens for people who are awesome enough to sub these videos, because if not for them I wouldn't have been able to get some tips with my Japanese (not to mention enjoy the whole thing ).

Wait. Japanese? As in Nihonggo? I thought WGM was in Korean?

Well, yes, Nihonggo. I did mention in here that I was learning Japanese, right? The course I've been following requires me to be more familiar with hiragana first. Basically means that I can read a little Japanese but not understand a thing. ^^;

What puzzles me while I was learning all these is why KA, with the addition of "tenten"(sort of like a double quotation if you ask me), can become GA.

It took me long enough to realize that the picture

I got was in Katakana and not Hiragana.

The tenten applies to Katakana too anyway...

These sounds are pretty distinct in English so I found it pretty hard to remember which letter becomes which after tenten. I went so far as to mistake Ka with tenten to be Ta. I know, it was so wrong.

Since I have been overly fascinated with Kpop, it isn't the first time I've encountered the wonders of their pronunciation. I've read once somewhere that Park in Korean is read as "Bak," and have searched celebrities and find some names to be different with what I was used to (Gahee then Kahi? O_O). I at that time didn't understand. I'm a noob, so what?

Jo Kwon and Gain made me made me such a big fan of WGM that I watched every single episode with them in it, with subs of course. I don't really understand a thing except for their names so it kinda took long enough for me to realize that...

Kwon pronounces "Ga" in Gain somewhere between "Ka" and "Ga". I tried saying it and it somehow made sense now. It's all with the mouth formation (whatever you call that). Including 'P' and 'B' and others like 'T' and 'D'. I also found out somewhere that -ae- from Daesung is actually pronounced as -e- (at least, more or less ^^).

So these may not exactly apply to how you say it in Nihonggo but the whole thing helps me remember the tenten transformation (as what I'd like to call them). G will always be the "hard G" according to the Japanese software I downloaded. ^^;

My Nihonggo so far...
I've now reached the level in which I can already tell my friend who teases me by calling me "obaa-san" that I'm not one. "Obaa-san dewa arimasen desu." That's pretty much eveything I could do. ^^;

Stupid Jokes

2010-07-10T00:01:00.001+08:00

This post is dedicated to the people who can't control their humor. The kind who jokes about anything at the wrong time and at the worst opportunity.

Just to be clear, I do appreciate humor. As a matter of fact, laughing is one of my favorite things in the world and I also fool around more often than I don't so don't say I'm some stern straight-laced girl with a more stoic expression. No. I am not.

People should know when jokes are allowed or not. Sure you can give a few punchlines here and there but that doesn't mean you have to give them all out a lot. It's STUPID. Please don't joke around the most meaningless things when you need to be serious. It only shows how IMMATURE you are. And it wastes time.

Please be sensitive when the surroundings. I really hate it when I'm in an important situation and somebody goes off with the corniest joke that doesn't even qualify as a joke. I hate it more when that somebody keeps insisting that same joke on me after I refuse to give a reaction. It's annoying as hell. A temper trigger.

When it comes to ill-timing jokes I usually have these kinds of reactions (order is from less annoying to uber annoying):

laugh (somewhat funny) - though this laugh won't even reach 5 secs.
fake a laugh (not funny) - for the sake of moving on to the task at hand
look at joke thrower - STOP IT!.
Ignore (continue with what I'm doing)- your joke doesn't deserve my attention
grit my teeth (you're making me angry) - coz if I don't, my energy will go to some other part of my body that is willing to take action against you.
stop what I'm doing - I hope you're silent during this time because I'm trying my damn best to calm myself.
Walk out - This is enough! I don't wanna go to prison so I'll just stay away from you and that farting excuse of a mouth! >(

I hope I don't get to encounter more of these temper triggers in the future.

Letter to OpenOffice

2010-07-05T22:24:00.001+08:00

Dear OpenOffice,

I don't really care if your graphics are of a lesser grade than Microsoft Office. I don't even care if there aretimes when I don't know what's what about what. There's one thing I know though. I love you. Yes, I do.

Of course this isn't unconditional because that is going to change if that "export as PDF" functionality of yours disappears. This feature saved me from reaching my boiling point so many times that it helped me become a little less grumpy while studying. It made studying a little bit more bearable .

Thank you. =D

Give me time away from the computer with eyeliners in hand and you know where the road's heading to. ^^;
The headband thingie is the one I used as belt for the Aphrodite costume. I've itching to buy some garter to make it a full-blown headband but I never had the chance. =<

... And no, I didn't take only one pic. I have more! but I will only post three more (the best ones?). Lol. I should have been studying instead of doing this but... it can't be helped! XD

Eye Talk?

2010-07-03T19:18:00.000+08:00

I was roaming around YouTube when I found this video. An old video(2 years ago) but who cares, it's new for me, especially this EYE TALK thing.

I have double eyelids so I don't really need this, thank you ^^;

Or even if I do have single eyelids... I'd probably not do something that looks a little painful, and by god! IT DOES LOOK PAINFUL! not to mention the uncomfortable glued feeling.

Armchairs in School Can't Protect You During Earthquakes

2010-07-03T13:30:00.004+08:00

My family (meaning I wasn't with them) was watching the television minutes ago. I heard about Senator Lito Lapid's first move on the 15th congress: pass a bill for left-handed students. It "directs the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to implement guidelines ensuring that schools in the country provide left-handed desks and educational materials to their left-handed students". Read more about it here.

Well, here is what I think:

The bill is quite neat. It aims after all to make lefties more comfortable with school (if this would have been implemented some 20 years ago, I wouldn't be right-handed today -_-). The only thing I can think the instant I heard about it were the armchairs. ARMCHAIRS AND EARTHQUAKES.

What a pretty pretty armchair <3

Instead of making armchairs for left-handed students, they should just get rid of all them and replace them with "DESKS and CHAIRS" para naa sad na gamit ang ilang earthquake drill ba: "DUCK COVER AND HOLD". Unsaon namo protect among selves under the ARM of the chair?

Imagine there were falling debris in the picture. Then count the number of children who

survived. Less than 50%? That's expected.

or do we still have to carry the chairs to protect ourselves? BAD IDEA!

The heart metal thing is the armchair and the dough is the human being. ugh... ugly sight.

I vote DESKS and CHAIRS!

I don't know about you but I think it's supposed to be like this. =)

Well, if they can't provide for desks and chairs, these can also do it:

It can protect more vital organs, I tell you =P

And know what? I think any student would be MORE comfortable using a desk than an arm that isn't even a foot wide. I will be. What about you?

PS: pictures aren't mine. They were found on Google.

I'm Becoming Less and Less Talkative

Ten posts for June. 10 posts that pale in comparison to my March and April posts. Wait... I didn't post anything for May?!?! Woah! Nooooooo!!!

A moment for Mr. Smiley...

I can't believe it, Maggie! O_O

School's getting more of my attention nowadays... tsk tsk tsk

The Week That Was

2010-06-27T01:56:00.000+08:00

I got lost finding my room last Monday. Isn't that great?
We went to the Cebu ICT Conference in CICC on Monday. Aside from the great food, the conference was abundant with information about the growing IT industry in Cebu. As to what my professor beside me said: "It's through joining these events that we find out that there really is future for us in this industry" and as a future IT professional, I can only nod to agree.

Me and Raul

The conference last Tuesday kind of woke up the frustrated Graphics and Media student within me. The second plenary was about Animation, 3D, S3D and the likes. They said knowledge flash is a must. I still have to undertake that...
My first time in CICC and Park Mall! lol. Maggie likes Park Mall! Cool play ground! =D

been a long time, playground! =D

Thursday was a confusing day for English. I will keep it to myself though. I'm still researching defense. And I arrived 5 minutes before class dismissal for my Rizal. An exemplary student, I know. =P
Friday really wasn't a happy day at school... because we didn't have a class in the first place. The teacher went on leave without telling us the day before so we had to grace the school our presence on a rainy day just to find out that what we came for wouldn't be. Thanks for the allowance and the impromptu soak in the rain.

Childhood Memory 2: "The Fish"

2010-06-13T19:58:00.000+08:00

After a year in the province, I came back to the city and enrolled in a Kinder 1. That was when my formal lessons started.

In Kindergarten, spelling tests where those in which you spell the name of the thing drawn on the paper. I still remember how me and my father struggled to know what kind of animal my teacher drew. I'm sorry, but the rat looked like a dog ^^;

I forgot why but there was such a time when we where told to draw a fish. Probably that was for arts class, I honestly forgot.

One thing about my fish is that it has scales. My 3-year old self's fish is the first fish. No, I think my 3 year-old self could do better ^^:

But apparently when my teacher wasn't pleased with how much time I offered to draw a single fish. Well, looking back, I did take too much time. I was already a proportion/symmetry freak then. You should know how much time such a freak would take to achieve perfection!

So then, my teach thought me the second fish. A VEEEERRRYYYY unartistic one at that! you call that a fish?!?!

Deep within that incident became like the funeral of my favorite fish. I was mourning deep within. =(

Oh Gosh, My Hiragana!

2010-06-11T20:14:00.000+08:00

Oh yes, gosh it is.

Yep! Done with A-, K-, S-, T- and N-series! Woah! yay!

Currently working on H-series. I wanna get this done so I could move on! Go Maggie! Go! Go! Go!

Gabunada Maggie ^_^

Woah! Finally went back to learning Japanese. See? Nakaapas jud sa summer ^^;

Plastic Cup

2010-06-09T17:56:00.000+08:00

I went to school this morning with the hope of adding a Niponggo class to my schedule (which kinda suck in a way because it's going to be the only subject on Wednesday), and left school with an unaccomplished goal (Not that you care, but whatever =p).

Before I left school, I bought a large sized four season. Since I was on my way to Talamban, I decided to drink it while walking. The cup was already empty before I reached the "back gate" and I didn't see any trash bins so...

NOT!

Even though I tried to just throw my cup somewhere beside the road, I just couldn't bring myself to. There were a few cups scattering here and there already. So what if everybody does this to their trash? JUST BECAUSE EVERYBODY DOES IT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT!

As far as I was able to remember, I was taught that trash should be thrown in the trash bin/can, if there aren't any then a garbage bag or something similar would suffice. NOT ANYWHERE WHERE NO ONE'S LOOKING. Flashback to elementary Civics and Culture, and some other class this subject is inculcated to. Let's answer this simple question: "In what way can you prove your love for the country as an ordinary citizen?". Write all the simple things an ordinary citizen could do. I bet throwing the garbage properly is on the list.

Then you go everywhere cursing the government when you yourself can't perform a simple task such as that. Do me a favor and kill yourself, thanks.

And to the government, I can't completely blame these people because there aren't trash bins around! If there are, then there aren't enough! Place them on more "strategic" locations! Nevermind segregation, the people can't even find a bin for non segregated trash!

FYI I kept holding my plastic cup until I reached Talamban, 2 jeepney rides away from the school. It was kinda embarrassing but I try to be A GOOD CITIZEN of this country.

Black-out Entertainers :P

2010-06-07T11:06:00.001+08:00

Say, rotating black-outs really suck. I didn't really feel so affected when I was doing my ojt, but now that I do, it sucks. And it's so darn hot these days! what the hell with all the no-electric fan drama!?! SUCKS.

That's a whole lot of "sucks" in one paragraph. ^^;

Aside from preventing myself from dehydrating, boredom, my arch nemesis, was also paying me a VERY unwanted visit. Imagine being at home, no electricity, which means no computer, nada on internet or even the oh so glorious TV, who else am I expecting? O_O

Well, all hail to my saviors: my mp3 and.... ah... false lashes.

YES! FALSE LASHES!

Probably wondering why I the hell I have a pair in my possession, but I do because I bought them out of whim. Umm... I'm not really sure if that sentence is supposed to make proper sense, but whatever.

See, I bought these false lashes because I got curious. I wanted to try at least once, and hell, was it hard to try them on! So, since I was bored like being inside a deep pit, I did my nth, oth, pth and so-on attempts and never did succeed. It ate a lot of time anyway (enough for the electricity to come back) so I guess it's fine. =D

I swear, I salute those girls who put them on everyday... HOW THE HELL SO THEY DO THAT!?!?! O_O

No, these aren't the lashes I bought. Why in the name of Spongebob would I buy so much? I only bought two pairs. =P

Final OJT Thing... Probably ^^;

2010-06-04T23:11:00.000+08:00

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!

Finally done with my Final Accomplishment report! woah! Happy!

10 pages! Oh yes! 10 pages: 1 cover page, 4 text-ful page, 5 dedicated to pictures... hehehe.

The completion of this report finally closes this OJT chapter of my life... Huhu... I kinda don' wanna... T___T

I'm gonna miss you, guys! Damn, I just wanna shout it to the world!

I'M GONNA MISS YOU!

Sigh... I feel like crying... drama... lol... =)

Well, I couldn't really do anything else but smile a satisfied smile. *imagine I'm actually doing it hehe*

Ignorant Brother on The Chicken Object

2010-06-04T21:40:00.000+08:00

Oh my gawd!!! After my 10-year old brother read my design for the Chicken Object, he was like, "Mao na imung trabaho? mura man ka'g grade 1 uie."

Grade 1?!?!?! WHAT THE F--- O_O

Damn, why don't you start coding for that Java class, you ignorant grade 4 student! Just try! >P

Well... the Chicken was sort of a joke... but still... hehehe ^^;

OJT Midterm Grade

2010-06-03T22:28:00.000+08:00

Dear concerned persons,

I had the lowest midterm evaluation I've ever laid eyes on. Now that mana... naget-over na to nako... But to tell you the truth, I thought I was going to have a 3+ grade because of the 80 eval. Damn. That got me on my toes... ^^;

At least, sure ko na gitarong jud to pag-grade (Dili grade yourselves ^^;).

BTW, I'm not bashing, naa palang jud gamay na "unsettled feelings". hehe. And this is a late post but it's better than never... =P

Thanks for the untimely stress,
Maggie =D

PS. I got 4.5 as my midterm grade. ^^;

Misplaced Thoughts pag-OJT

2010-06-03T00:07:00.007+08:00

These are the thoughts going on in my head during my OJT at Azeus(only those na I remembered). Cover ni from start to finish. =)

Comment from Logbook: Exhibits Lack of knowledge in industry standard processes. Syete... I hope Mam Dean doesn't read my blasted handbook T___T

LDM? WTH is THAT? Obvious na I took my Software Development properly? (Layers and layers of thick, gooey sarcasm)

FSpecs. I hate writing. Damn. Probably the looooongest days of my life... Not to mention no one knew about the standards... We were bound to be damned T__T

My midterm evaluation: 80 (naa pa na erasures). Classmates: 100 ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................wtf?!?! O_O

When I said I didn't know how to start AML40, I mean it literally. Nagbasa ko sa coding standards and I realized it doesn't fit as Batch or screen and there are only coding standards for Batch and screen functions! I didn't know where to place my function, and how to start coding it (as in literally). Apparently I was misunderstood. Hehe...

* Tree! O_O as in tree!?!?! Whattha!?!? Do I need to use built-in sa Java? Or magmake nalang ko? woah! Make ko! >_< Mam Larmie... Why, oh , why didn't I listen to you!?!?! O_O

* *After making like more than 10 methods* What the hell is going on!?!?! *Confused at who calls who O_O*

* *Saw an untraceable error* .... F*ck(sa head lang)... *Laugh* (What the hell is wrong with me?!?! O_O)

* *Jab* ----: Maggie, db change. Me to myself: ..... Just when I got my thoughts together.... anti-climax... huhu T____T

* ----: gawan mo nalang ng javascript. Me to myself: ..... huhu... like friends me ni javascript... T____T

* Pancit Canton!!! XD

Fspecs T___T

2010-04-30T21:05:00.002+08:00

My second week is such a disaster!

Troublesome, tedious. VEEEERY kapoy. I was always subject to confusion and times when I have no idea what to do or how to start. Comments were flooding! Standards! Standards!

Damn.

Culture shock, that's what I tell myself. Culture Shock. It's my first, naturally mistakes are inevitable, I'm not saying it can be excused though. I'm still learning.

Sigh

Giving out stress seems like life's pleasure

40 hours = DONE!

2010-04-23T21:55:00.002+08:00

My first week as an ojt finally came to an end. I'm a little too exhausted from all the sudden information input but I don't really have a choice, do I?

This week was spent learning the needed stuff for our project. We were introduced to Oracle, JSP, and the framework the company uses (which, by the way, saves a lot of headaches =D). Most of the things were quite rushed so I wouldn't say I remember everything we've done, but there are always the references, and questions are also welcomed. =D I kinda got a hold of most of concept so I guess it's fine.

Next week we're going to be starting on our project! =D

Sick on the First Day =(

2010-04-19T21:22:00.001+08:00

Company Orientation in the morning, lunch at Shakey's, self-learning on sql, break sa pantry, self-learning again then discussion about joins.

The first day was pretty smooth... so probably it wasn't so smooth. I came in sick and my headache was haunting me the whole day. Not to mention my runny nose. I can't even smell my food. I wanted to enjoy the free lunch but my bodily condition just wouldn't allow me.

And what's worse? It's the usual sickness in which my body won't ever emit a single abnormally "warm" temperature, but makes me feel like I've been carrying sacks of rice the night before. So I can't really say "Hey, I've got a fever", because I don't (acc to my temp).

I hope I'm healthier tomorrow. 50-50, but worth the hope. sigh...

Rain's Hip Song Perf That Converted Me

2010-04-18T09:08:00.000+08:00

Because a smitten girl's got to post what a smitten girl's got to post. =D

Hip Song starts t about 3:46

So much intensity on stage, and I believe it's quite fatal. This perf was during M! Countdown.

And this WAS the perf that made me crazy. Gosh, Rain. Now I understand why everyone's crazy about you, I am now myself.

Hoping to see more of Rain's juiciness!

I'm Itching.... Again.

2010-04-17T21:09:00.000+08:00

Damn.

I just got my new header and now I'm itching to make another one. I hate it when inspiration hits me without prior warning... and right after another one did!

Damn. But I'd rather answer this call than have it lost forever. Yes, this is how I value the things You gave me!

I'll work on it.

Right Out of the Box That is My Mind 1

2010-04-17T20:59:00.000+08:00

time is something I can't get a hold of nowadays
I'm getting sloppy at drawing. And I'm losing my touch in fashion designing. =<
So many things I have to buy, so little money.
Why doesn't anyone care when the pc's malfunctioning?!?! Am I the only one affected?!?! T___T
Nobody cares for an upgrade too.
The project's like... whooooshhhh.... : |
The weather's so hot. anyone got a portable air conditioner?
Given that I'm crazy, will you allow me to make a time machine? or a teleport machine?
A teleport machine can probably use the concept of the time machine so I'd prefer to make the time machine first. =>
But if we use the time machine principle, then the teleport machine will still have to travel the body the same distance in a speed faster than the speed of light. If so, won't that tire the body? Efficiency of the teleport machine is then defeated. =<
I'm crazy. I can't believe I'm ALMOST convinced that I am.

Uwaaah! and it's here! T____T

2010-04-17T08:29:00.001+08:00

The project for our ojt has been sent to our e-mails. And... well.... let's say there were some things I don't understand... so, fine! there were A LOT! hmph!

sheesh... Now I'm loaded with studying.

I shouldn't be blogging, should I? T_____T

Anyway, it's already settled that I will give me blog a weekly update for my ojt. I guess you can call this the 1st week. =D

Stick With Maggiegelz

2010-04-15T21:57:00.002+08:00

It's been on my mind for a while (no, I didn't copy this from the first line of Taeyang's "Only Look at Me" =P). Instead of changing my blog name from time to time, I should stick with the name "Maggiegelz" and just have a "theme" for my blog. Yes, I think this will also me less confusing for people (not that there are a lot of people who come across this blog).

So, Maggiegelz it is. =D

GD > Rain

2010-04-15T20:26:00.000+08:00

Just after I posted my new obsession I was confronted with official MV's from G Dragon's concert.

It seems I am being reminded where my loyalty lies. =)

Rain, the New Obsession

2010-04-15T19:45:00.000+08:00

Hell. No one has ever made me a fan of them after just one live performance. I swear. I dunno how he did. All I know was that in the middle of his perf, he made me drop my jaws, and squeal like some smitten girl. I can't even look away. I was even skeptical before watching it. And did I mention the video wasn't even what I call HQ? O_O

Sanity be damned!

Rain, you had me. <3

I've had two posts mentioning Rain. I was just after his abs dance then. Now, I'm finally after THE Rain and the performer that he is.

If I'll ever find a good copy of that vid, I'll make sure to post it here. =D

Sketches 4 and 5

2010-04-15T14:33:00.000+08:00

These were conceived at school while I was bored waiting for who-knows-what.

I colored 'em a little on photoshop. Here's the result. I only did the clothes though... =>

I was amazed at myself for drawing the last one. I was at the canteen alone and with nothing to do. I can't believe I made something using my g-tech. I don't usually draw using "un-erasable" medium.

Sketches 2 and 3

2010-04-15T14:23:00.000+08:00

These were made at home while I was kicked off of the computer.

[WARNING: I don't have a scanner so the images may be a little uglier than what they'd usually look like in reality. =P]

Both of them weren't finished. I have this weird habit of not finishing my drawings. Rest assured they weren't supposed to have a background. =>

The one at the right is REALLY unproportional. her feet are too small for everything (hehe), not to mention her waist. She was an "out-of-the-blue" work so please understand. =>

Otter Does Rain's Love Song =D

2010-04-15T13:45:00.003+08:00

A parody of Rain's abs dance (yes, that's how it's called). I found it through AllKpop. This is my favorite. =D

A killer. The otter made me laugh so hard until tears came out. Hah! love it =D
