Yesterday, I had my first set of classes. 3DGRAFX, MEASDEV, and finally INTPHIL… 3DGRAFX of course is 3D Graphics in our course codes. I have Doc Bong who was also a professor of my older sister back when she was in college. MEASDEV is Measurements in (of ?) Development which tackles about how to create evaluation, assessments and testing for… I dunno… Students..? Survey questions…? I swear when the prof was talking, I was listening but nothing seems to be going inside my head…

INTPHIL is Introduction to Philosophy… And, we have an Indian teacher! …. Ok, I’m sure it won’t be that bad… But I’m guessing it’ll be a bit hard to keep up with his lectures because of the accent… I guess, like he said, we’ll get used to it after some time.. I really hope we do..

Then currently, I am at the office… Today is a Tuesday and I don’t have classes till 4:10… My classes every Tuesdays and Thursdays are only from 4:20 till 5:10 in the afternoon. Makes you wonder why I didn’t take up the class on a Monday - Wednesday schedule… I don’t know myself… I just didn’t feel like taking up Religion when I’m already taking up Philosophy… I might be too much on religion by the time I get out of this term….

Later, I have LITERA1… I think it tackles about Philippine Literature… I don’t know since I haven’t gone in to the class and since it’s only the second day today…

I miss having a roommate.. My cousin moved out and stayed in the condo a bit far from the university.. It is cheaper that way anyways… But the traffic.. Gad.

Currently, I have no internet connection at my place. So I’d have to bear with it for a while… Although it won’t be much of a problem cause I change houses every other day cause I still have work… Although the router at my sister’s place is busted so, still, no internet…

All I have with me is Sherlock Holmes and Princess Diaries VIII (or was that IX…? I can’t remember.. ) and The Angel and Demon to read…

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…

Hey there! I’ve been away for exactly a week due to server problems… But, obviously, the server is now fine..

So, what had I been up to the past week… Well, OJT is.. Well… Still boring… School… It’s starting next week… Then I just accepted to be VP - Communications for our batch… I just thought that since I am already in the spamming business for the next year due to Moomedia, might as well do it for the batch…

Websites… I had been way too late in updating my website, namely Tomoeda… And in launching our website (in collaboration with my two sisters)… Although, I recently just finished (just minutes ago) my sister’s blog… Visit it! click click click!!

Food trip! I’ve been cooking the past days… Last Sunday I made crep batter and crep itself… Then just last night, I was so bored since my oldest sister isn’t around, as well as her husband (for short I had the entire condo for myself *evil laugh*) And I bought pork chops last Sunday as well so I decided to try something… I tried cooking my favorite recipe for pork chops… Pork steak… I found a recipe online and followed as it said.

I had the pork steak for lunch a while ago… And I was SO satisfied with the outcome… Even last night, I was so tempted to eat since it smelled SO good! But no, I pulled myself together and didn’t eat in the end…

You guys might want to try it… The recipe can be found at Pinoy Cook: Filipino Food and Asian Cooking

You might want to try to put in the soy sauce and the garlic you used for marination after the pork had been cooked for a little soup. I love it that way…

This is great, especially if you would like to try something new for dinner… Or maybe for lunch… This is one of the Filipino foods that I’d love to learn how to cook… Next stop is Adobo…

As for the crep, I’ll link the recipe next time…

Ever wondered why you can’t get anything done…? Well I have. It’s just setting your priorities straight. From the most important thing you have to get done, down to the least important. Sadly, some people don’t know how to set their priorities straight, and they say they do. There are a lot of ways to be able to set ones priorities. Its just that we all have to know what we HAVE to do from what we WANT to do. And that’s pretty much it. HAVE meaning we need to do it ASAP. And WANT is just for leisure sake or that you got bored with that HAVE to do thing. The reason for shifting of priorities.

As for me, here are my priorities for this summer:

• School - OJT
• Moomedia
• Family
• Leisure
• and lastly, Vinno.

Yes. You’d think he is 3rd on my list right…? Unfortunately, no.

I take OJT first since I want to graduate on time and that I don’t want to waste my time goofing around this summer when I know I could have done something. Moomedia, the org that I am part of. It comes second because the moment I have nothing to do and that I know I have something to do for that org, I do it. Family comes next. Since I live with my sister and her husband, I don’t really have to worry about almost anything. Except for the fact that I miss my bed at home, I miss my parents, I miss home-made food, I miss my niece… Other than that, I am perfectly fine.

To get out of the boredom or the stress. I take leisure as my next priority. I either play The Sims LifeStories, or I watch a DVD or the TV.

Lastly, Vinno. He comes in the last of my list. Why? Because we’ve had enough time together. He even wanted some time alone a while back with his friends, I heard. And complains that we have more than enough time together. He’s telling me that?! He’s the one that’s always on my tail!!

Everything is set. That’s how I wanted my priorities to be. And so far, it is.

Now, for others, it just isn’t so. They prioritize something else other than school, like say playing online games, or the org. It’s a waste of time I tell you.

Everybody’s been busy with a lot of stuff and I’m stuck somewhere in my world doing nothing… I should be at an office, doing OJT stuff! Sadly, I still don’t have a company…

Yes, it’s almost nearing the end of our summer break and I still don’t have an OJT to do… Some of my friends who still don’t have an OJT are planning on skipping it for this summer and taking it next summer instead… Before graduation… Sigh… I don’t know what to do anymore…

I have an interview this wednesday… Hoping that it’ll be successful… If it did, I’d have to work for 10 about 10 weeks. And that would mean that I’m still working while studying.. Sigh.. Now I’m even thinking that I’d skip it as well…

I haven’t been doing anything the past days… Just watching movies or maybe going out with Vinno or going back to school because of meetings with the organization I’m in… Otherwise, it’s nothing.. Oh, by the way, we got the results of the officership applications last term… And I was appointed Vice President in Creative Media Development.. Which means I am the “leader” of the committee. The committee handles the publicity of any activity the organization will have, as well as requests any org or office inside the school may have for us to do. And, we handle the exhibits the org might have throughout the school year… Sigh…

We just finished talking last night about what activities we can have the entire year. Turns out, we’d only really have a few since we do handle publicity… The things we’d have to do are almost done.. What’s left for us to do now is the booth for the freshmen welcoming this May 7! It’s so soon! And we only knew about this last Saturday… Even the President knew that she was the President just recently… So, everything is so rushed!

By the way, I had added a new page in the site…! It contains all the stuff I had been doing… Well, currently I can’t find all the stuff… But most of them, I think, are there already… Check ‘em out.. :)
