As I type this entry, it is around 7:15 in the morning, Philippine time. It had been a hectic week for me. I can’t find a day wherein I had the time for myself to do anything I want, and to sleep anytime I wanted. I rest, sure, but not time to do anything I really want, like play a game or something of the sort.

Ever since Saturday (August 23, 2008) until today, here was my to do list:

• 3DGRAFX Final Project
• A mini-project requested by the office
• Thesis Final documentation
• MEASDEV (Measurement in Development) Final Paper and Exam [yes, we create exams for this course. VERY VERY hassle]

As far as I can remember and as far as my calendar is concerned, those are the stuff I’ve been doing ever since Saturday and a few minutes ago. And let me tell you another thing, for the past how many days, I haven’t slept for more than 5 hours (except August 26th cause I couldn’t handle it anymore).

Yes, nearly a week of no sleep… Saturday I did the mini-project requested by the office because it was due Monday, and I finished my part in our exam and final paper for MEASDEV. Sunday, I fixed my character model for our 3DGRAFX course (the entire day). Monday, I went back to the city and we did our thesis together with an overnight (we slept a little past 2 AM and woke up around 8 I think). Tuesday, I went to the place where both my sisters are staying to do my 3DGRAFX project (both my laptop and desktop couldn’t handle the pressure). That’s when I slept for around 9 hours. Then the next day, I attempted to fix my model again cause I was having problems with its arms (I’ll upload my project at YouTube after I get enough sleep then I’ll give out the link). And until I think 7, I worked with the animation of about half of the project. Then I woke up 11 and continued to work with my niece bugging me after every 10 minutes or so until her mom came home.

And now, I just finished the entire project around 30 minutes ago. My stomach is empty, my heart is palpitating, and my eyes are heavy. I can’t sleep anymore. Deadline of the project is at 12PM and we still have a demo at 3:30…. So yeah… It is until I finish every to do for today is the time that I can finally sleep… Sigh.. College… 4th year college… What a hectic year… Sigh

Weeks of not blogging, what had happened to me? Errr… Nothing much.. I’ve been busy with school (Moomedia work, Thesis, 3DGRAFX, and all other subjects) Sigh… The term is ending in a few weeks! I can’t wait!

Well, what I can’t believe is that even in our break (VERY short break mind you) we are gonna work on our thesis project.. Well, that can’t be helped considering that we do have a lot of things to catch up on since we need to be able to develop a part of the thesis to be patterned by the others… Sigh… I can’t wait for a REAL vacation.. You know, like after schooling is over? After graduation…? Sigh…

Alex (my niece) is turning 2 this 27th of August! She’s growing too fast! And I am growing old too fast! Lately, I can’t help but be saddened by her reactions with me. I haven’t been home lately due to projects and deadlines and seminars here and there. The last time I went home, she said she was afraid of me… Now isn’t that ironic… She is afraid of the person who took care of her after her mother and her father left her a week after she was given birth. Her mom said that she owed me one after taking care of her for two weeks back then (it was my term break and I never had one, AGAIN, because of that kid!) and until now, I can’t feel like she does. If I know, she had already forgotten all about it. She’s just happy that her daughter is in good hands and is growing just the way she wanted her to cause my parents are taking care and are spending money for her.

After our first year anniversary, we are still going through the smooth lane. I mean that we are still together and I can say that I am happy that I chose him, that I got to know him. Although there are times that I wished I didn’t cause what I am seeing right now is not the same person I knew last year, last summer… I remember telling him about this issue… Then again, I can’t change the person, right?

It had been 4 years in college. 4 LONG agonizing years. I can’t say that I am happy all the time. No one is. Everybody gets to have a challenge every where they go. And I think the biggest challenge I ever had was now, in college. I am independent, I am living alone for 2 years, and 2 years with my cousin. The people that tell me what to do are very far from me. Therefore it had been hard for me to manage my time. Me and my sister had been talking about this the other day. All we remember about 4th year high school is computers, that the moment we get home we go straight to the computer then we stay there till we sleep. It was a miracle that we were even able to finish our assignments cause, seriously, we don’t remember doing them.

By the way, the past weeks, I had also been addicted (a bit) to video editing. To see my videos, they are all uploaded at my YouTube Account. I still have one video not uploaded cause it might take 2 overnights to be able to finish that - considering that my net doesn’t fluctuate or suddenly stops then goes on again. But sad thing is, it does.. So I can’t really upload it right now.. :(

My portfolio had also increased. A few of my works can be viewed at my DA Account and most of which are the exercises that I had done for our 3DGRAFX class… Also, I had been creating a lot of posters lately due to being in the publicity committee of both Moomedia and our Batch Assembly. So, yeah..

Anyways, I have to go.. It’s 3:30 in the morning and I still have a meeting at 9 with my groupmates..
