Yes, I am back home. I just moved back last Monday… Actually no, my stuff came last Monday and I came home Tuesday afternoon. As for our final presentation for thesis, we got a silver for the Most Outstanding Thesis Award! Gold was given to the other group.

Last week, since I was SO bored, I created a new layout! It’s not really new cause I based it on an existing layout from WordPress Themes Free. I just added my own personal touches when I tried to create the layout. I did not install the layout. I created it from scratch based from that.

I purposely titled the website as “Untitled” for now because I am still lost with what will be next in my life. It’s not like moving on from high school to college, that I will only pick a college and a course that I want.. It most definitely is something BIGGER. And I still don’t know what to do. Hence, the title. I will probably keep this layout for a long time as I have more plans with it..

After 2 days of trying to fix my room, I had finally finished today. Just about 5PM today. I started around 4PM yesterday and stopped at 3AM and then resumed fixing about 3PM today and finished about 5pM.

But I can’t… I still haven’t graduated so, I can’t really leave the place anytime soon.

Although, I have good news to everyone! We PASSED the defense!! We passed with Minor Revisions to the Thesis and we were even given the Model Presentation Award cause we had a skit during the defense. Me and Vinno were picked to be the ones playing in the skit so we had to leave the room in the middle of the presentation just to be able to change our clothes for a maybe about a minute or two (luckily the comfort room was just beside the room where we were assigned to do the defense) and get back to the room to play the skit and then return to our business attires after the skit. Imagine how messy my hair had been after changing twice. I had it on polytail and even had make-up on so I think I did not look as presentable anymore after changing twice..

So anyways, I had been BORED the past few days…. And I can’t find anything to do. I’ve been coding my uncle’s website since yesterday and I had given up a while ago cause I couldn’t make things work! I’ve been sitting across my dad’s laptop almost the entire day and I’ve only figured out one code. (It wasn’t even me who figured it out)

And lately, I’ve been thinking of revamping the layout, again. I don’t know.. I want it to have the feel that I am finally leaving college. Kidding. I don’t know… I just want to have some thing new just after knowing that I am finally graduating and this will be the first thing.

I hope everyone is doing fine… I am hoping to start taking driving lessons by next week. And I am also hoping to be applying for TOEFL next week as well. I am also planning on taking a part-time job here in the province too while I waited for some application stuff so that at least I get an income. My mom’s being tight with money again. She said that this month will be my last month to receive personal allowances. I was like, how come my oldest sister still gets hers? She’s already receiving salaries every month. And she goes, she’s still studying. Yeah, she IS studying, but she gets paid!!!

And another thing, I am NOT happy with the last activity that I handled in our org. Not that I was the project head or anything. I TRIED my best to make things work properly and orderly. It’s just that, people just DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO ME. They wanted to do it their way. And so BE IT. They messed up the entire event putting it almost down the drain because the seminar room was ALMOST EMPTY. GAD.

And so, this blog entry ended up to be another rant.. I’m sorry… I just can’t help but express how I feel through this… It’s my way of communication. I hope you don’t mind… Sorry.. Next time, I promise, I will try not to rant..

P.S. I WANT TO TRAVEL!!!!

Under Life, School, Typical Girl

It’s been a while since I blogged again… Hehe. Nothing’s been going on much. It’s been hectic the past few weeks, thesis and all. My groupmates and I had been staying over my place ever since last week (everyday except Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) just to be able to finish our thesis. *sigh*

I’ve been blogging a bit at my newly created LiveJournal as well.. I just created it last week and mostly, I’ve only been posting my super short and very much opinionated book reviews about Twilight and New Moon (loved both books).

I’m reading the Twilight saga as of the moment and I know that I’m very much late with everything cause I’m just at Chapter 8 of Eclipse. But, I didn’t find it that much interesting when I first read the book (I just felt obliged to read it just to be able to know the real story behind the movie), and then it got very much interesting.. I LOVE EDWARD. He’s like the VERY perfect person in a VERY perfect way. :heart:

I’m not expounding this as much here… Hehe. I’ll leave my thoughts at LiveJournal. If you want to add me there, I’d be happy to add you back.

Summer is near! I can feel it!!! Most especially that I am blogging right now would mean that I am BORED! We are about to finish up thesis and are about to wrap it up in a few weeks time (please pray that we don’t fail the defense…)

We had been waiting for this day, this very day that we get to relax a bit. *sigh*

The day I’ve been waiting for, actually, is the day I march out of college!!! GAD, that one I really can’t wait. I want to get out of here, FAST.

My summer, hopefully I will be productive. I had already set up a few things to do and one of those will be getting a driver’s license… After school is done, I will enroll myself in a driving school (sponsored by my parents of course since they were the ones who told me to just take up driving lessons in a driving school) and, my mom had planned for my niece to enroll in to dancing lessons. I told her I wanted too, so she said I can go too. :3

I can’t wait for the summer to come, and July as well. :3 My cousins are visiting again, as well as my friend and I AM DYING TO SEE ALL OF THEM. Last time my cousins visited, I wasn’t able to see them because of school and now that I will be out of school by then, I can finally see them again! And for my friend, I haven’t seen her for 4 WHOLE years and I can’t totally wait to see her..

Anyways, Vinno just finished his part of the thesis and I’m not sure what we’d do so I better end this before we start anything else..

Under Life, School

Hello! How’s it been? It’s been a bit long since my last update. Well, not that long.. But.. I don’t know.. I realized that I’ve been ranting and ranting and ranting all the time (at least for my past entires). I DID start my year wrong, so that’s the result I guess.

I’ve decided to let everything be. Like, even though I’m still pissed when I go home to my parents, I’ll just keep calm and be who I am without pissing off.

ANYWAYS, I’ve been a bit busy lately… With thesis and org stuff. Thesis is good… We are still trying to fit everything in one month, and we are still going half of the project.. Not really.. Maybe a bit more than half already. We just have to have our flows approved by our adviser, then we are all set!

As for org stuff. We have this big event this Feb. For Multimedia Enthusiasts around the Metro Manila. Everything had also been hectic considering that, as of the moment, 2 weeks is left before the event, and we still don’t have any sponsors! Then, there’s also a problem with the cancellations of a lot of org activities which might forbid us to do another activity… So yeah… Sigh

I’ve been searching and searching for a lot of things the past month. Searching for myself, my future career, my future job, my future, basically. After college, I really do plan on leaving the country. I realized that I’m way too used to being alone. And when I’m with someone that can control me, I can’t be myself and do whatever I want, making me pissed. And by living alone, well. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. I know that I am not used to not having a doctor to call easily. But that’s why I want to live independently. To be able to get used to that fact. Cause I know that someday, I will really have to leave that world to them and start my own.

I’ve been looking at CSU’s Multimedia program and I find it good for my preferences. My plan to get a scholarship in Japan is, well, I’m not that interested in it anymore since I found out about CSU. Although, I will have to work my way there first. I’ve been looking for jobs in the States online lately and I’ve found a bunch of nice jobs there. I’m planning on applying there starting, maybe the 2nd or 3rd week of March. Today is just too early to apply. I can’t leave yet..

A friend, Tori, had suggested a new anime to me. Toradora~! Try it! It’s so KAWAIIIIIII!!!! Taiga is so cute and scary when she gets mad. LOL. Try downloading it from here. 

Anyways, I’ve got to go back to doing thesis. I still have to fix a lot of stuff for tomorrow. This week is our university week and I am holding a class tomorrow (not giving a seminar or something. I organized the seminar) for the students. So, yeah. Till next time!

PS. Does anyone know how to set up the reply thing for wordpress? I can’t find the right code for it..

Under Creativity, Events, Family, Life, Site, Thesis

I’ve been trying to fix the layout… I really have no idea how to fix it as of now cause I do have a lot on my mind.. Anyways, in case someone would know my solution, just leave a comment.

Here’s the problem: I placed a background on my CSS and I also have an inline CSS with the HTML coding. The background which is coded with the HTML is Alex’s picture (placed it fixed and non-repeating). Then the one on the CSS is the main background. Now, when the content of the site is less than what I have for my sidebar, Alex’s picture gets covered when I scroll down… How can I fix this? I did think that I can put in the background on the column of the content… But then the background of Alex’s picture and the coded background would not be the same (I don’t know what the problem is even though I did copy the right color code from photoshop itself). Help anyone?

Right now, I’m thinking I had enough ranting. So, how WAS my Christmas vacation, really? (besides all that ranting I mean) Well, over-all, I think it was good. Except for the fact that I wasn’t able to enjoy it much because I was working even while on vacation. All four of us were… *sigh* Oh well… We’ll just have to think, this is our last term for college and that we have to do our very best.

My gifts for Christmas… I wasn’t expecting most of them cause, I don’t know… I just didn’t expect them. Not that I didn’t like them cause I did. Here’s a list:

• From my Parents: Louis Vuitton (did I spell that right?) wallet (they say it’s original. hell, why would our parents even give us fake ones anyways) (I just found out that it was fake. We went to LV a while ago to have my wallet checked cause it already had a dent mark of the coin purse and totally ruined the wallet. They said it wasn’t their product. )
  
• Ate Pam, Kuya Eman and Alex (oldest sister, her husband, and their daughter): Photograph Composition book
• Ate Jay and Arnie (older sister and younger sister): Digital picture frame
• Tito Pancho (uncle): some sort of jewelry box from Tiffany & Co.
• Tita Pinky (aunt): Photo Album
• Tita Presy (aunt): ( God, I hope she forgives me… I forgot what she gave!)
• Tita Pey and Tito Arnel (aunt and her husband): a cute lamp which has the shape of a bottle
• Grandmother and Grandfather (father side): 500 pesos
• Grandmother (mother side): Miracle necklace? I think that’s what it was called. They said it came all the way from Jerusalem (she had my uncle/cousin [also a priest] buy it for her when he went their on a pilgrimage)
• Vinno: a blouse that I personally picked out from MANGO. (wished it was ZARA though. Kidding! )

After all that, I had my room fixed! Finally! My room is as fixed as ever! Although it looks really empty considering that I removed almost everything that didn’t belong to me which was in the room (which was A LOT) and had them placed in our storage room at the attic (yes, our attic is not the storage room because it is our family room. We have a separate small room inside the attic which is the storage room ). I had my SUPER old monitor removed from my computer table which sits inside my room without a computer to hold, I cleaned out my desk (which was then full of stuff that I never use, mostly my mom’s stuff cause she uses my desk to check her paper works), ALL the CDs that I had here that were PS1 games, I had them placed in the attic as well (which meant that my computer table is now empty. ) Basically, I was really happy after that day cause finally, my room was as clean as I can imagine it to be… My problem now is my bookshelf. I have LOTS of books here that I DO NOT use, and would like them out. Sadly, my mom wouldn’t let me put them in the storage room cause she said that it wasn’t there for books, and our bookshelves (where the books inside my room used to be before I took them out for college) are already full thanks to their 5 inched medical books. *sigh* So now, I am stuck with books that I do not even use. And not to mention, my bookshelf is only small! >.<

Ok, I think I have ranted way too much again. I have to go to work. I still have one set of misconception to do, a guide documentation and its interface to be done by, my target date, tomorrow. *sigh*

BY THE WAY, I have a new blog buddy! Nyuu~!
