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..

It’s finally the end of the term. I just had my final final exam a few hours ago and I can’t say that went well… A grade of 1.0 is all I want for that subject, if I can even attain it with the grades that I have…

So it’s the end of the term once again and I am ready to bum my life with summer!!! Although, I have to go through On-The-Job-Training so, no bumming for me… Sucks.

What exactly have I accomplished for this term except for another failure…? Well, we did pass thesis… And I’m really happy that we did.. 1 more year to go!! Or so I hope… Sigh…

It’s finally the start of summer and I hope I can enjoy it… My parents are planning to go swimming again this weekend… And my high school friends are also planning a trip themselves to Batangas (another province here in the Philippines with beaches..) next week after our course cards… I just really REALLY hope that I won’t have to hide a course card just to be with them… That would lead me to being guilty… SHHH!!!

Sigh… Anyways, I’m off to bum out till I start OJT…

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, here I come!!

I haven’t been blogging since last week. REASON: I didn’t have internet connection at home when I went back for the Holy Week… The router there is so messed up that you’d have to unplug and replug it after a few minutes… max is 3. >>.< <

Before I start with the OH SO HECTIC WEEK, I changed smilies! They’re so KAWAII! I’m way too lazy to change all emoticons in this site considering that there are a lot, I’m not changing everything anymore… Everything will start from here on.

Exactly what have I been up to this week… That’s a good question… Well, I’ve been doing our ALGOCOM (a course on analyzing the algorithms of programs) technical paper last Sunday, studying like a maniac since Monday up ’til Friday VERY early in the morning for PROBSTA (probability and statistics), INTROOS (introduction to operating systems), and ALGOCOM, translating and doing my speech last Tuesday for JAPALA (Japanese Language), and doing our presentation for ALGOCOM last Monday as well.

Not bad for the whole week huh…? I wasn’t able to do all these stuff during the Holy Week because I wasn’t inspired and I wasn’t given enough time to do what I want to do because every one of us (my older sister and my younger sister, and me of course… add my dad to that.) WANTED to use the only computer that had internet at that time because it is connected directly to the modem. Sigh… So, I just finished playing Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations (the entire game with 4 cases) the entire 5 days of my stay at home… Try it with Nintendo DS. The game’s nice and SO addicting… I finished 90% of my JAPALA take home finals though..

By the way… Our professor in JAPALA took a video of us while we were taking our speeches. Yes, all of us. I’ll post here either the video or the link once I find it on YouTube…

Just for fun, I made a mini-documentary of what I had been doing the whole week… What our dinning table looked like. :laugh: It’s just a bunch of images since I got one of the digicam’s at home. Yes, you read right. ONE of the digicam’s. My oldest sister bought one for her family, my dad bought another one, I don’t know why… Then there’s our old trusty digicam which got me to a grade of 2.5 for our Photography class a few terms back…

Even now, I still have fun taking pictures. Even now that I understand better how to capture the real beauty of nature with images.

We just had our thesis defense this morning. We were scheduled as the first group to defend at 8 in the morning so naturally, we had to wake up as early as we can so that we can prepare ourselves. Someone stayed over at my place that night because we had to wake up early. Actually, I was thankful that that person stayed because I wouldn’t be able to wake up… I asked to be woken up at quarter to 6 for me to be able to prepare even though I just live beside the school – we had to meet an hour and a half before the defense to practice and know the report of the other. Also, my oldest sister gave me a few of her face thingies to put… Since I didn’t know how to use them, I need extra time to prepare… (Yes, I am not that skilled with make-up even though I am a girl… I just don’t like the idea of having something placed in my face and that I’d have to do it everyday… Takes too much time… I like to keep things simple…) That person had a hard time waking me up cause I didn’t want to stand up… :sweatdrop: Well, who would after sleep a bit past 3…?

The presentation started late… Me? I wasn’t nervous, and I don’t know why… But I had a few bad times, so early in the morning… Well, not only today actually… I had one the other day… I thought I lost my school ID… Losing it would mean that I can’t go inside the school without a permit every day until I get a new one… And the new one costs around 500+ Philippine peso which is roughly around $10.00 (expensive I know… Maybe it’s because our ID’s have chips which contain our student informations…) Anyway… I found it under the towel rack where I placed my pants… :frustrated: Then, just before the presentation started and while we were waiting for the other panelists to arrive, I kinda spilled one coffee that we were supposed to give to the panelist… Luckily, no faculty or staff noticed and the panelists weren’t there… So Vinno had to buy another one while we had to clean up the mess in the table… It was fortunate that the coffee that I spilled was only pure coffee… So it didn’t take long to get a new one… :frustrated:

Then again, the presentation went smoothly and we were able to answer the questions given to us, therefore getting the verdict of minor revisions getting a grade between 3.5-4.0!!! :happy:

That sure was a load off our backs.. Now, all we need to concentrate on is passing our minor subjects :frustrated:

I don’t know if I have insomia or something… But ever since last week I have a hard time sleeping. I usually sleep around 1-2 in the morning - that’s my usual bedtime… But recently, I’m awake till almost the crack of dawn! :frustrated: I don’t know why though.. Sigh…

I was hoping that it would be cured once I wake up early… Well, it might be.. Cause it’s only 12:30 and I’m sleepy… But I still have an exam to study for so, I can’t really sleep yet… Although I have already started studying like 4 days ago, I’m still not confident that I can make the exam tomorrow.. Sigh… :sad:

THESIS

I’m really starting to get nervous with our thesis… It’s a week before the final defense and we don’t have a company to work with! :frustrated:

Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Yes, I am starting to panic… >.< That’s the reason why I’ve been so stressed and so unmotivated and so tired! We’ve been running around the city for how many weeks just to get a damn company and yet, up till now, we still don’t have one! :frustrated: I hope the doctor that my sister gave us will be SO helpful so that we only have to ride one jeep to get there… Sigh…
