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…

I’m back again… And this time, it’s not 3 in the morning! :laugh: Anyways, the theme of this site is from my younger sister… I was talking to her the night I made this layout and asked for any suggestions… And she said coffee break. That’s the theme… So I searched the web for an image… And I found one from Starbucks and manipulated the image a bit for it to fit in my layout… Although I didn’t do much of it… :sweatdrop:

Also, while I was thinking of a theme for the site and how it would look like, I found a site which inspired me. It was just a very very simple blog, just white and had 1 main image. Very simple and I loved it. That is the inspiration of this layout… :smile: Here’s the like if you guys want to see the site.

Sigh… Again, I am a lazy person. I tasked myself to do our related literature for our thesis today at around 5 and I wasn’t able to do it… I was out that time… Not that I minded cause I was really supposed to go out today… But anyway… That aside…

Gah. I really need to get to work… I need something to motivate me to work… Problem is, I have none. :frustrated:

[EDIT] I have finally finished fixing the layout. I hope nothing else goes wrong… :smile: Umm… I said I’ll start doing our related literature by 10… But it’s already almost 1 and I still haven’t done anything. :laugh: Sigh… I REALLY have do it tomorrow… My groupmates will kill me… :sad: [/EDIT]

I know I just posted a while back that I couldn’t think of a layout… Well, my sister gave me an idea and here it is… :sweatdrop: There might still be a few bugs as I haven’t finished it yet… It’s already 3 in the morning here and I’m still awake. :laugh:

Anyway… I’ll finish the layout tomorrow before I go to work on our thesis paper… For now, I think I have to go to bed… I hope you guys liked the new layout! :smile:

I’ve been ranting about our government the past 2 entries. So, exactly what have I been up to…? Well… I’ve kept myself busy the past few days through the midterms we had been going through.. As well as our talent show activity for the entire university… Also, a website that I’m pursuing… Well, it’s been a plan ever since I don’t know when. It was a plan supposedly by one of my online friends a few years back… And I’m just moving things right now. I decided to help her with it but nothing came to. Not until now…. :smile:

So anyway, I’ve also been thinking about changing the layout of this blog… It’s been bugging me.. The simplicity of it all. Just plain black and white makes me uncomfortable with the layout… Especially that I am not really that type of person… :sweatdrop: I just don’t know what to change it to yet… But I am planning to… I am again in my website-layout-creating mood ever since I made the layout for THAT site… But again, I still don’t know what to do with the layout of this site… The digital camera is not with me.. So.. I don’t know. :laugh:

I just had my Japanese 1 midterms yesterday… Since my sensei is roaming around and taking a peek at our test papers, it made me nervous by the end of the exam especially when he tapped my right shoulder. Is that supposed to be a good sign? Or a bad sign…? I know I have memorized my hiragana… And I know a few Japanese words to get me going and not to look at my list of verbs, nouns, and adjectives almost for the whole exam (we were allowed to open those lists just as they don’t have any of the rules that had been discussed in class.. Or better yet, a clean copy of our “bible”)… But I just don’t know what to do with the particles! :frustrated: I studied them but it’s really just confusing when to use “wo”, or “no”… Or whatever particle there is… Of course there are times that I know what to put… But for the others… Gahhhh.. :frustrated:

I don’t know about my other exams though… I would totally flunk them… I’m TOTALLY sure of it! :frustrated:

Anyway, I’m off to think of a new layout for this blog… I’ve been so busy the past few days because of studying and *ahem* doing the website (which by the way I’m not supposed to be doing because I still had exams then… :sweatdrop: )

As the title of the entry mentions… Yes, it is the end of my vacation, Christmas Vacation to be exact. I feel like I have wasted my vacation on playing games, or sleeping, or maybe eating… Well, not that I am quite complaining about it cause that is what I usually complain during school days that I don’t have the time to sleep or play games… Sigh…

Let’s see… What games have I started to play… First was THE SIMS 2 UNIVERSITY because of the installer that my sister gave me for Christmas, it kinda pushed me to want to play it all day long until 4-5 in the morning… :sweat: Then there’s Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney from my sister’s DS (the same sister that gave me the SIMS 2 installer) which got me addicted since the day we went out of town for a vacation… And again, I’ve been playing it like crazy, wanting to solve all cases as I can as I enjoy that stuff… Next is Dynasty Warriors 4… Well… The story behind this is that me and Vinno were both bored so we headed over to our place in the business district (where my sisters stay). Then I pulled out all my sister’s PS2 Games (again, the same sister.. :sweatdrop: ) and we picked something to play since we were both broke… And while his is here visiting me or staying for a while after dropping me off, instead of leaving the place and spend more and more of our money, we just stay put and play… Get frustrated because of the bosses that we couldn’t defeat… Taking up strategies just to finish off all guards/bosses per place… Sigh… It’s fun while it lasts I guess…

And just so happens that I had these stuff that I wanted to do during the vacation, and not one was even finished.. :cry:

MY “TO-DO LIST” DURING MY CHRISTMAS BREAK:

• Re-do my mom’s database system cause there are a lot of errors and useless stuff in what she has right now…
• Do my Uncle’s online portfolio for his shop…
• Do the web site that we were asked to do since last summer…

As you can see, they all lean on my specialization… And all those projects were thought of my yours truly since last summer… And none, until now, are done… Sigh.. Everything is WAY over due.. :cry:

During the vacation as well when I learned that there is an OVA to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles thanks to Belle.. :smile: She e-mailed me asking me about it when I wasn’t up-to-date with everything because of school. Then during the vacation I finally got enough space (thanks to my new hard drive) so I downloaded it and finally watched it. IT WAS SO COOL! Syaoran is cooler than ever! :love:

Sigh… School starts in 2 days… Actually, 1 day cause it’s already 12:11 in the morning right now as I type this… School starts tomorrow! :cry: I’m still not ready to face a new term… It’s like I’m still not over the vacation yet… I still want to have a vacation! :cry:

I know, I know… I’m ranting again… Rants will start again in this blog since school will start again… I just don’t know how to express my feelings personally to everyone. That has been my problem ever since… Sigh… Projects here, assignments there… Misunderstanding here, yelling there… I wouldn’t know where to start… Everything is like a roller coaster to me… Maybe that’s the reason why I hate roller coasters… Cause then I wouldn’t know what to do once the ride falls down a loop, or once it falls in a “hill”… Would I scream like a maniac and cry, or will I enjoy and take everything as a challenge… I don’t know… Sigh…

My website, Tomoeda, haven’t been touched since I don’t know when… :annoyed:Even though I would try to look for something to change there, nothing comes to me. Not that the site is perfect and everything cause I know for a fact that it is FAR, as in REALLY FAR, from being the most informative site… I just don’t know where to start editing and revising stuff… :huh:

Sigh… I guess this will be the last entry because I start the term again… Last entry that doesn’t have rants in it for the time being… Sigh… Sorry for ranting so much… :sad:
