HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

How did my 2009 start? Well let’s see… 12AM we were at my grandparents’ house (just across ours) picking up coins as our New Year tradition… After that, we are our Meja Noche (meaning the first meal of the year). I was also able to talk to Vinno after I ate my meal. After which, we all went home then I stayed up a little more playing FF9.

Then a while ago, my mom woke us up (irritated) cause we have to go to another province to visit my grandmother (her mother) cause it’s her birthday and just to visit as well. Its a new year and she started my new year irritated, not to mention my morning as well.

We spent around 2 hours or less going there, then we ate, celebrated her birthday and celebrated a mass. After which, we went home cause my sister wasn’t feeling well.

When we got home, I went straight to my room and played a bit more before I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found out that my sister was already in the hospital being operated. My parents kept on saying that it was appendicitis… Then, while I was eating, my dad called; and then I heard my sisters and my niece going down the stairs. They were going to leave to the hospital, leaving me alone.

And now, they just got back… After like 2-3 hours. My sister was even honking her horn every 5 seconds or less. It’s not like someone is going to open the gate that fast cause everyone is already asleep! Damnit.

I feel like crying. It’s the new year… Yet this is what’s happened to me… I seriously feel neglected just by the fact that I’ve been home alone.. And then they want me to stay with my sister tomorrow. WHAT A WAY TO START A NEW YEAR.

I won’t be surprised if this year will be MUCH worse than last. I ended 2008, pissed at my mom. I started 2009, still pissed; even crying.

Hi guys! Christmas is in 3 days! And New Year is coming fast as well! The year is going to end and it’s ending WAY too fast for me to even cope up with all the stuff that I have to do for this vacation! T_T

So anyway, how was your year? My year, if you ask me, is full of disasters and blisters and wounds. LOL. I’ll list them all down….. (I’ll TRY to list them down accordingly but I can’t promise)

1. I found out that I had gastritis just last January 16 (my birthday )

2. I almost failed yet ANOTHER Math subject last third term (January - April term of school year 2007-2008)

3. I was late for AN HOUR at my office last summer

4. I tripped while on the way to the office therefore having a wound on my right knee (summer)

5. I wore the wrong pair of shoes during a site visit at the office therefore earning a wound

6. My laptop is running SO slow.. T_T I have to have Suppy reformatted….

7. My sister, Vinno and I went ice skating and I forgot to remove my anklet so the lock on the anklet went inside my skin earning another wound

8. Me and my mom got into an accident with a L300 van because the stupid driver did not put on the hand breaks when he parked and left the van so it reversed on us (a BMW car)

9. We went to a theme park once (my sister, Vinno and I) and went to this Snow World (but it was only the coldness we saw or felt. No snow. Just ice.) and when we got out, I found my hair VERY oily. So I had to buy Johnson’s Baby Shampoo just to get it off

10. I ALMOST failed my calculus (yes, again) last term if my professor wasn’t too considerate. I am VERY VERY thankful to him (though I wasn’t able to tell it to him personally cause I wasn’t the one who got my card)

11. If it wasn’t for my final exam grade and last departamental exam grade (which were both above perfect - hey, both first and second departamental exam were failures! Please leave me be by being a bit proud about it) I think I would fail my NETWORK course

12. My sister and I almost left our video camera on the bus when we were on our way home last week

13. I was playing with my niece’s jumprope the other night and I think I landed on the wrong foot so I sprained my right foot (but I’m still able to walk. It went away instantly) then after a few minutes, my left knee started to ache. Don’t know why

<EDIT> 14. Just after lunch, my sister asked me and my mom to accompany her to our little garden for her to use the Time Works Exercise machine that my dad gave my mom last year for Christmas. My niece suddenly saw her and asked me to carry her so that she can use it as well. Just when I crouched down and stood up with her in my arms, my sister twisted the machine just above my head earning myself a lump on the head, on the 24th. I even cursed (with my niece’s ear just beside my mouth). Luckily she didn’t quite hear it cause I just said it in a whisper. In case she heard the word F**K, I would have been VERY much dead by now. LOL

15. While my sister was curling my hair, she accidentally had the curler touch my skin, which is, mind you, VERY hot

16. My niece stepped on me with her boots while we were on our way home from mass before celebrating Christmas Eve….

17. Remember the sprain I got from the jump rope? Well, I landed on the wrong foot when I was on my way to Starbucks with my sisters and brother-in-law so, I sprained it, AGAIN

Hmmm… I think that’s about it….  I remember counting them down just after I got that lump on my head… But right now, I can’t remember them anymore. LOL </EDIT>

Anyways… Here’s a break down of my grades last term:

- CCSCAL2: College of Computer Studies Calculus (1.0)
- KASPIL2: Philippine History (2.5)
- LASARET: Lasallian Retreat (Passed)
- MOBLERN: Mobile Learning (4.0)
- NETWORK: Computer Networking (2.0)
- RELSFOR: Christian Social Teaching (3.0)
-  THESIS: (4.0)

In our school, if ever you haven’t noticed from the past grades I had been posting here, our highest grade is 4.0 and the lowest is 1.0, failure is 0.0 (yeah, looks like a shocked emoticon). For thesis, its just a 4.0 or 0.0 grade. So yeah… For MOBLERN, well, just as you do what the prof tells you to do, its easy to get a 4.0. The rest I earned through studying (except RELSFOR cause I barely studied there cause ALL exams were open notes)

I guess everyone was considerate of giving Christmas bonuses even to students.. So I am very grateful for my CCSCAL2 prof and for the professors of NETWORK for giving a VERY easy exam (all questions were taken from the previous exams)

Anyways, I have to run.. I still have to finish our thesis. Promise, once I finish everything for thesis, I will do my layout for the blog.. The layout is done.. Just the coding that needs to be fixed..

<EDIT> For those who would be interested to know (like Ahiru ), I study in the Philippines, at De La Salle University - Manila… The grades given for colleges in Manila are usually from 1.0 to 5.0, 1.0 being the highest.. But for our school, it’s the other way around… It goes from 1.0 to 4.0..

I’m off tomorrow.. We are going out of town so expect nothing from me for the next 4 - 5 days maybe… Hopefully my list of disasters won’t grow while I’m out.. It already grew while I’m at home, I don’t want it to grow anymore.. LOL

As I write today, some people are still studying. It is midterms week after all. I just finished mine a while ago and I hope I got it correct… I’m not expecting for a perfect score on that of course cause I rarely get them.

It had been too hectic since I last blogged… Thesis submission, less sleep that day (we skipped class because we had 3 submissions that day - one is the thesis, then an assignment for 3d, then a filipino poem for our Philippine Literature class) We had to skip our Philippine Literature class just to be able to make it to the 3d graphics deadline and be able to submit the thesis as well. The condo was a mess that day. At around 9 in the morning, together with Joyce and Vinno, I went back to the condo and we continued to work. Karla followed a few hours later after she attended her class (Vinno skipped his morning class cause he got up late)

Sigh… Then there’s all the org stuff.. It’s been fun… While it lasted. The fun we had before… It’s gone, now that most of the people I was with before had left the org…

Sometimes I wish I could bring back the past and redo a lot of things. Like hanging out with the entire class like we used to do before… I dunno what happened to the class but suddenly everyone got separated… Who knows…? God knows..

Like what I said in the title, this is one hec-term, meaning hectic term. Org stuff going on especially that it is the first them and we had to at least satisfy almost all the members for them to be able to be attracted to the org and continue to attend general assemblies and stuff… Then there’s school stuff as well. Although the Batch Assembly hasn’t given us any work as of the currently, I think the work will start next term as the Batch Representative said… Then there’s never ending Thesis. This will only end when we finally get a certificate that says, “DIPLOMA presented to….” or something like that. Or with the togas and everything… Yeah yeah, I know.. You get my point. It’s just that, I feel like I want to graduate, but I’m not yet ready. Although I already have plans after college, I feel like I am going to MISS it all. Like how I missed High School (and I still do)

This is the last stage of schooling… At least for mandatory schooling. The next set of schooling will be upon the will of the learner… It had been 16 years of schooling (counting my 4th year this year) and still counting. I want to study after college… Question is, what and where. I got options… But I won’t tell until I actually pass the exams of course…

Sigh… So anyway, I got into video editing (AGAIN) and I made a few clips… Actually, just one.. Anyways, just check out my portfolio… It had increased due to the number of posters I had been doing…

I do hope everyone is doing fine..

Last Saturday, May 31, 2008, the SM Mall of Asia held the Manga’Holix Anime Convnetion. It was the very first convention that I went to and actually almost spent the entire day inside the convention center. Me and onee-chan usually just stick around and look at all the stuff they have in their booths then leave if we don’t like anything. But this time around, I was with Vinno (I forced him to go so I paid for his entrance ticket.. ) Anyways…

At first, I came only with Vinno. Then inside the convention center, I met up with Mag and Lucky (high school friends). Although, around maybe an hour before that, I had already stumbled upon them in the FullyBooked booth… But I didn’t want to get their attention at first because my ex was there and I didn’t know how to react. It was the first time in how many years since we last saw each other. I’m thinking it had been around 3 years or less a few months. And to think that we were still dating the last time I saw him.

Anyways, a coincidence was, me and Mag were looking at the same table and she didn’t even notice me! Again, that was fine with me cause I didn’t know how to act in front of him at that time… We had constant meetings, Mag and the others didn’t seem to notice me… Except for Tere… Although I don’t think she still remembered me cause I wasn’t hanging out much with them during high school…

And so me and Mag (she was with Lucky at that time) finally met by the cosplay stage… That wasn’t accidental this time. I had to give her something so we really intended to meet. Then when they left to look for my ex (Robee is his name), we went on as well. We roamed around once again for like, the 3rd time? Until a sudden meeting occurred. Me and Vinno were supposed to go buying those hats (I forgot what they called ‘em.. ) which they sold for me to buy for my niece and for my pleasure during that event… And while we were on our way to the other side of the convention center,  I really had to bump into him… Well, not that I’m really pissed. It’s just that, that exact meeting wasn’t the one I had imagined it to be… I was thinking that we’d really talk… But then again, I was way too shocked to even say the word “hi” in a lively manner! I just looked at him in the eye and muttered the word “hi”, then I went on.

I was hoping for another encounter that night when we went back to the convention center and met up with Tori and Erin… Mag and Lucky passed by so I called them since they looked really tired (we were sitting by one corner that time). So, I was hoping that I’d finally have some talk with him again and end his guilt once and for all. But, the time came that we had to leave, he still didn’t show up. I was thinking that, maybe he saw me beside Mag, the reason he didn’t come… Sigh…

I left the convention center with Tori, Erin, and Vinno to watch the Pyro Olympics which we didn’t get to appreciate because of the ceiling that was blocking the sky. (Everyone was there supposed to be watching the fireworks but, it wasn’t really something to appreciate because we can’t see! )

Anyways, enough with the drama! I’ll be posting a few images here next time… I still have to grab permission from my friend who had the camera with my pics in it…

The cosplay, by the way, had less Naruto than I expected! There was more who portrayed characters from Bleach. And to my surprise, there was even one from Taiho Shichauzo (Kobayakawa Miyuki to be exact). Although I didn’t like how she was portrayed. For one thing, sure Miyuki was a cop… But, I don’t think she had hand cuffs hanging around her waist.. I think it was well hidden insider her, pockets maybe..?

Then there was this CUTE CUTE CUTE KAWAIII kid who portrayed a character from the anime Prince of Tennis… I don’t know who the character is, I just know that the kid is so KAWAII!!!! *squeals* I’ll put up a pic soon too…

More on the Manga’Holix it self next time when I put up the pics…

Going through a few articles online such as Once More into the Breach, Dear Friends, Once More and read a few other blog posts linked there, and I got more information about my previous post.

Well for one thing I didn’t know that even executives were part of the rally last Friday. So I guess not all people were bothered about it. Not as much. Unlike those who don’t take into interest in these rallies like me and my family. Everything just seemed to have stopped during that time. Well, they might have, considering that employees where there, even their executives!

I was again watching the news last Saturday, I think, while I was at the kitchen waiting for my sister to start baking… Everyone seemed to be looking for the late Cardinal Sin (the former Archbishop of Manila) who seem to have lead the fight during the late President Ferdinand Marcos and the impeachment of former President Joseph Ejercito “Erap” Estrada. He had to lead those fights, right? Because it was for the benefit of all the people in the country. I mean, President Marcos was leading in dictatorship, President Estrada had all these affairs, and his jueteng (some sort of gambling) scandals, all of the houses he owned was said to have come from his corruption back then (which by the way was not as much kept underground if you ask me). So, again, what are we fighting for here? If Cardinal Sin were still here, would he have fought?
