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..

I finally have internet at my place..! Whoho!!

Anyways, it’s been a hectic first few weeks of school for me… A lot of stuff going on with the org, with thesis, with my family… Sigh…

First thing’s first, onee-chan is home! Finally! Actually, she got home I think last week Friday? And she’s brought a lot of CHOCOLATES!!! Sadly, I can’t eat as much chocolate as I want… Well, my gastritis hasn’t been back lately so I guess I can eat a few…

Next up, while onee-chan is back, my oldest sister left just last Friday and went to Hong Kong for their mid-year convention I think. She had to present some sort of poster there so she had to go along with some of the other residents taking up opthalmology…

With thesis, we have a submission this coming Tuesday and we had been sleeping over at Karla’s since Tuesday then Friday. Then I’m guessing we are going to have another one on Monday since the deadline is Tuesday, 4PM… We had been consulting with our thesis adviser, Doc Lloyd, and he had been guiding us about a lot of stuff (of course.. duh.. that’s what thesis advisers do.. ^^;;;;; )

So anyhow… My grandfather’s condition is unknown to me. I haven’t hear about anything recently… I don’t know if his series of tests are done and if he is in the right condition to undergo the surgery… Sigh…

Anywaayyyyyysssssssssss….

I am still very much obsessed about They Kissed Again (It Started with a Kiss 2), Taiwanese Drama!!! I just finished watching the entire drama around an hour ago and Xiang Chin and Xhi Shu totally make the perfect couple! I also think that Christine and Ah Jin will be very very VERY happy together now that they are married as well..

*sighs dreamingly* Joe Cheng is soooo kawaiii…

I haven’t been online for the couple of days and thus less blogging… I still don’t have internet connection at my place so I’m still trying to connect to our school whose internet keeps on disconnecting…

Anyways, last weekend, my dad (with my entire family actually) went to the city not only to help my little sister fix her stuff at her college dorm, but also to do a little shopping…

While my mom, my little sister, and I went to a mall in the business district of the country, my dad was left behind in a Mac store. Then, I learned that he went to another mall a bit far from the business district but near my sister and my college.

After the whole shopping spree with my mom and sister, well all retired to Starbucks and waited for my older sister with her husband and my dad. Then, when they came, guess what I found out… He bought a MacBook Pro (one that I wanted last year the time I got my own MacBook), AND an iMac. Boy does my dad have money…

I tried out the iMac today cause I was supposed to create a video for my grandfather for Father’s Day; hopefully it won’t be his last… It has a large screen and I am very happy with it… But, the large screen it’s that endearing anymore, especially when you sit in a low chair and it stands in a higher table… It feels like it’s gonna fall!!

The screen is big alright, but the wireless keyboard is SO small!! And, I like the mouse… I officially want to have a mighty mouse!! I thought before that it would be a waste of money since I already have a mouse.. But then again, I changed my mind when I found out what it could do…

While my dad and I were setting up the iMac a while ago as I returned home from the city, we were talking about the .mac accounts and the Apple Protection Plan… He told me that I didn’t have to worry about the .mac account and iWorks cause he bought a Family pack of both which contained 5 licenses!! WHOOOTT!! How I longed for iWorks!!! I am SO happy that my dad decided to do that and maybe I am happy that he decided to buy two macs since I can use the iMac for a lot of stuff… And he’s gonna pick them up tomorrow!!

As for my grandfather, we are still hoping for the best. He currently has abdominal aneurism where a main vein in his stomach is about to pop if we don’t do something about it. I heard from my dad that they are still going to see if he is still capable of the operation.. I am hoping that he will still be able to live long enough for Alex to remember him.. If not, even just until I graduate from college next year… I want him to be there… Just to see me graduate… Just to see him there looking at me as I march will be fine… I miss him so much right now… Now that I realize that he’s a bit old for his age… And that we are just trying our very best to keep him company, to make him happy…

I can’t even imagine New Year without him… He’s the one who usually makes all the noise with his drumming… Ever since I was a child, it’s been his job to do all the drumming while we run around the place picking up as much coins as we can… I can’t imagine my birthday without him… Ever since I was little, it had always been a joint birthday between us since our birthday is a day apart… We always had one party… And he used to teach me a lot of things… I sure miss all those days…

I wish, he can stay longer… I wish his heart would can still sustain the operation and still survive…

I went home to the province today because I miss the atmosphere here… The quiet and joyful atmosphere unlike what I experience in our condo in Manila. Also another reason for that is because my oldest sister was in a rage because she couldn’t access the router there - she is way too short tempered to even wait for anything.

So anyways, the moment I walked into the house, I was greeted by my niece who was carrying my dad’s shoes thinking it was his slippers. When she saw me, she let go of the shoe and went straight to me to have me carry her (she’s currently a year and 8 months, nearing nine this 27th)… I missed that.. The way that she’s too cute and adorable and is always there to greet you once you open the door…

It’s a Saturday night, nearing 12 midnight and tomorrow, I will be returning to the city. Why? Aside from the fact that I still have my internship, classes start this Monday… So, I go to school Monday and Wednesday. Then from 8AM till around 3:30PM during Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be at the office… Then whole day during Fridays… Such a tight schedule and it’s only the first week of classes…

Basically, I only have an overnight here at the province before I return back to reality… Can’t I stay here a little longer…? :(

Expect a little less blogging starting Monday… Since it will be my last week next week for work, I heard that they will be giving me boxes of documents to scan.. @.@ So I guess I have to go back to the office after my class on Tuesdays and Thursdays just to finish all that is needed to be done I don’t leave anything unfinished… Unless it is a self-proclaimed project… I might even extend the 200-hour max if I do that.. Not that it would increase my grade…
