I will be discussing the highlights of my first week in Mapua Makati while staying in Pasig. It really was "legen... wait for it.. dary!" There's not a single day in this week where I have not experienced an "adventure". Enough with the appetizer let's move on to the main course. :D
Sunday: I arrived in Pasig together with my Mom it was like 9:00PM when we arrived and as expected Chito (Dondie) is the one in our room. Yes Chito and I are roommates for as long as we're both staying here. Of course this one is going to be fun and we should learn how to discipline ourselves so that we can do both of our studying and still have fun at the same time.
Monday: The first day of the SY '09-'10 WELCOME FRESHMEN! And I should welcome my self not because I am a Frosh but because I'm just like them in a way that we're still a blank piece of paper in this Campus. Mom and I went to school together because she also wants to discover how to get to MIT-Makati and go home from there. We arrived in the Ayala FX terminal around 9:40AM and the FX left at 9:55AM. We arrived in Makati at 10:25AM and we began looking for ways to make it to my school. We walked to the right then straight then crossed the road then went back crossed to the other side then went straight again then crossed to the right went straight turned right crossed then straight then crossed again then after a staright walk here we are. LOL! ;p Of course that's not the exact directions point is it was a long walk. I was able to arrive in Mapua around 11:10AM. And my class will start on 12:00PM. Now I don't have any place to go to and the school is pretty crowded I just settled down on one place near my classroom and after sitting for a while guess who came and greeted me? No not Christine Reyes lol. It is my blockmate from COE A16 Jose. We talked while waiting for our respective classes and once the bell rang I found out that my room was relocated. I went to it's new location and it is so weird that even my professor find it weird as well because instead of a wide room that we usually have it is a long room. And what a surprise because Riza from BLD-Youth turned out to be my classmate here in this class. It is a English class btw. Then moving on to my next class which is Psychology our prof sounded very cool and I have quite a number of cute girl classmates in this class. And we were asked to introduce ourselves and answer the question asked to us by the card that we were given. My initial reaction when I recieved my question card was to smile. I mean I had a huge smile on my face as if I saw a pretty girl winked at me. The question is "If you were a POET what are your POEMS mostly about?". WHAT?!!! lol. Of course we're required to answer in english and even if we're not I would still answer in english. I answered like this with a huge smile on my face I introduced myself and followed it by reading the question then answered "Actually sir I am into writing poems and songs, I started writing when I was in 3rd year high school and my poems are mostly about what am I feeling but now I am into writing love songs and stuffs and in the future I hope to write about anything that I would want to write about.". Then my professor gave me a positive remark. :D After that class it's my lunch break I went to the canteen and meet up with Alah and his blockmates. Then my next and final class is Math22. And it turned out that my professor as they say is one of the "terror" professors in the Math department. She just let us finish the necessary information on our index card then dismissed us. And the adventure begins. I am so clueless on how to get back to Pasig from MIT-Makati. So what I did is rid the Washington Bel Air jeep and I noticed that I was going the wrong way so I went down and walked towards the area where I can find a bus that would go to Glorietta. Then here I am in Glo and I went to the MRT station and checked out the FX that was said to be near the area and I wasn't able to find it so I just rid the MRT to Shaw instead. There's one huge speculation that I did not forget to think about and that is the time which is the RUSH HOUR! Well as expected the MRT will stink and people will be like in a can of sardines. When I reached Shaw station I went to Megamall A and it's sort of far as well and upon reaching it I went outside and rid an FX to Pasig. Home at last!!
Tuesday: My class in this day starts at 9:00AM and because I am still trying things out I decided to leave at 6:30AM. I went to the same FX terminal where we went to yesterday but this time I rid the Buendia FX. And it dropped me off in front of Pacific Star and from there I walked to get to MIT-Makati. It was a long walk indeed. But I arrived in school at 7:35AM. WHAT!! I am almost an hour and half early for my class. Thank God that Alah also arrived early so I got someone to talk to. My class for today is CS140 lec and it turned out to be the same as COE112 which I was able to pass already. Surprisingly my professor started the lecture and gave us a seatwork. I am feeling so good regarding the result of it. Basically I am feeling good about how the whole subject I smell that I would be getting a high grade. After class Alah and I went out to have lunch in one of the restaurants around the area. Then we went home after it. As I was told by Alah that there's an FX that goes straight to Megamall so I went to that place and rid the FX. I was somehow tired and I was able to sleep in the FX. Then when I woke up I am in Megamall already. Then from there I rid the FX to Pasig. I was able to arrive at around 4:00PM I think. Then we (Dondie and I) went to Ingen to play NBA2k9 and we went back home before 11:00PM then we watched a couple of hilarious episodes of Big Bang Theory and that's about it.
Wednesday: No more orientations for this day all lectures are going to start. And at last I was able to find the most convinient way to go to school during MWFs. And that is riding the Ayala FX and then I would go down in front of RCBC then from there after crossing to the Buendia side I can just continue walking or ride a jeep straight to MIT-Makati. I thought I am going to be late for my first class because the FX left later than I expected but it turned out that I am 40 minutes early for my class. My first class turned out pretty awesome. We were grouped for our presentation next week the topic is porduct innovation. After our professor said the topic my mind began to process and what I was able to come up is a back pack. My idea is so brilliant and it is the one that we're going to use for next week's presentation. I always knew that whenever I disregard my shyness I become more productive. Then the next class is the Psychology class. I forgot to accomplish a couple of things like buy a book and photocopy a couple of things. But our prof gave us another chance. Then he discussed quite a number of topics to us and in the last part of our discussion he asked us to group ourselves and talk about an specific that we're going to discuss to the whole class. I don't have a book so I just borrowed from my classmate who has one and then after reading it I completely understood what it is about and I am ready to recite whenever needed. With that being said I became the saving grace of our group. When my group mate was asked to answer he wasn't able to say anything that's why I stood up. I think I was able to give a decent answer. Next is the lunch break and Alah and I ate in the canteen. Then next class would be my Math class. I am very confident once I entered this class. And my overconfidence is the one that killed me in the end. Of course the lesson is still easy but the seatwork is under time pressure. That changed everything because my professor wants our paper with a borderline and mine doesn't have any so I still need to draw the lines and it did cost me valuable time. In the end I wasn't able to finish my seatwork and ended up guessing for the answer. I felt so bad about it not because I got it wrong but because the lack of time is the one who killed me. Then after class I went home by using the FX-FX way. The traffic is quite heavy this time I was able to arrive in Pasig around 8:00PM already. But the night didn't get shorter because Chito and I was able to come home before 12:00AM already and slept at around 1:00AM already. I was able to finish my homework in my Math that is due on Friday. Talking about improvement in study habits.
Thursday: I only have one class for this day and it would start at 7:30AM. I scheduled myself to leave at 6:15AM but my Mom decided to give me a ride to school and we were able to arrive at 6:40AM. Knowing that there's still quite a huge time to kill I went to Mini Stop to buy a tissue because I forgot to bring a handkerchief and a lollipop. Then I went back and waited for my class to start. It was only an orientation and since it is a computer lab subject the computers are connected to the net. And guess what I did throughout the period? I played online games. It was so awesome but it would have been awemazing if Facebook isn't blocked. The class ended early and I went straight home from school. I took the Bus-FX way this time and it turned out that it is cheaper. I was able to arrive home at 11:00AM. I played PS2 with Dale because he was asking me to in the previous days but I couldn't give it him because of lack of time. Then Chito and I were set to leave and go to FEU to meet someone but we didn't push through it because it is sizzling hot outside. Because we don't want to put our get up to waste we decided to go to Megamall instead. First we were dropped off at Shangrila we walked around it and transferred to Megamall. We just walked around the mall again and played NBA2K9 in PS2. I won the game but I wasn't satisfied with my performance I can play way better than that. ;p We arrived home at around 7:00PM I think then we ate dinner and went to Ingen to surf the net because I really need to because I have a couple of homeworks to do. Then this is also the day where I was able to chat with Jace. Not only that she is stunningly beautiful outside but also inside. Wonderful person indeed. I really had a great time chatting with her she is a smart person she almost my nosebleed just almost. lol I went home with a huge smile on my face because I was able to chat with a wonderful person like her. I was able to accomplish everything before 12:30AM referring to my school works. And because I couldn't sleep I decided to watch some videos then it made sleepy and I waas able to sleep before 1:30AM.
Friday: The last day of school week and I am so ready to go to school because I have done my homeworks. I chose to go to the FX terminal that the FX driver told me to go to the other day. It filled up faster as he said. And I was able to arrive in school early as usual. Then I walked around to kill time and here comes the first class. It was sort boring and the same goes with the second class which almost made me sleep at some point. I just kept myself look like I'm still aware of what's going on. Then that will bring us to the lunch break where I had Paotsin. Then here comes the Math class it seems like the only real subject for this term. I was able to get 3/4 in my homework well that's not bad because I am the one who did it and I didn't just copied from someone else. And I still failed to answer the seatwork correctly but my only error is the sign which means I know what I am doing and that's fine with me. I am so happy because so far everything is going pretty well and is way better than I had before. And I went straight home from school. I took the FX-FX way. And I was not able to go down at Megamall but I said to myself it would be fine because finding the FX to Pasig in Robinsons would be easy but it turned out that it wasn't that easy for me. I was lost and I still tried to figure things out by myself. And I encountered this girl named Rica who approached me and talked about the organization WWF. No it's not the old WWE it is the organization which launched the Earth Hour project. And she said doubted that I am a student because I sounded very professional when I was talking to her. I am lmao inside. It was a short talk but she wasn't pretty so wth. lol And then I tried to go around one more time and I still was not able to find that FX terminal. It is getting late so I asked one of the security guards where is it and he directed me to it. And then there I was able to ride one FINALLY!! :D The night didn't get any shorter Chito and I spent 4 hours in Ingen without even noticing it. Yes Jace and I was able to have a short chat once again and it's awesome. We went back home nearly 2:00AM already and we were shocked because my Mom is there. We spent the next 30 minutes in the dining room talking with each other. And then at 2:40AM we both went to sleep. We did wake my Mom up but she didn't know that it is pass 2:00AM already thank God. ;p
Saturday: My "homecoming" after the very very long school week that I had. All of us knows that my Mom slept in Pasig yesterday with that being said I assumed that both of us would be going home to Cavite together. But it didn't crossed my mind that she went somewhere and would come home late. So I waited until during lunch I asked Tita Ditas where is my mom? And she answered that she went to LSS and left early in the morning. It really made me laugh because it's like waiting for no one. That perhaps is the funniest thing that ever happened to me on this day. Even my grandparents were laughing because of it. Immediately after lunch I left Pasig. I took an FX to Megamall then MRT to Taft then from there I rid an LRT to Quirino then I took the bus straight to Cavite City. Well I got home at 3:00PM and as expected there's nobody home but what I didn't expected is that one of them would be arriving at 10:00PM already. I was home alone for like 8 hours. And again I was able to chat with Jace on this day. And I think there's nothing so special happened after the short chat that I had with Jace.
It was an AWEMAAAZING week indeed from school and everyone and everything that comes in between. It was a very long week it is mainly because of my afternoon schedule that I have during MWFs. Well I am looking forward to the incoming week and I hope things wouldn't change and gets better and better.

EP#48: 2 Day Enrollment
The day didn't start the way I wanted to I wasn't able to get up in the right time. I am expecting to leave at 5:30AM so I did set my alarm at 4:00AM the same that Anne is waking up. So I also asked her to wake me up but she didn't and my alarm didn't wake me up as well. Thank God that I was able to open my eyes at around 5:20AM and my Mom is there and we rushed into Alah's place immediately.
We managed to make it in time without causing that much of a delay. Then Alah and I together with Kuya Aj and Mang Totoy we're able to make it in Mapua Makati just in time for Alah's interview. But it turned out that the one who'll be interviewing him is not yet around so we waited and waited and waited, basically that's what we did pretty much all day. But after getting interviewed they again asked us to wait for the approval of the dean. Then we ate out in Jollibee for lunch when the rain powered down. But there's one thing that we both forgot to realize and that is it might get strong again. So on the way back to Mapua we went through the rain because we're needed to be there in a couple of minutes. Half of my body is wet but it's alright. Then he got the approval of the Dean. Then the next step would be for both of us to meet the Registrar Ma'am Joy so that she could help us regarding the enrollment because we both just shifted. And because it is almost 12:00PM both of us we're asked to come back after the lunch break which is 1:00PM so once again we waited and she came back at 1:30PM. At the end of the day both of us were not able to finish the enrollment today because we are missing on some requirements.
The original plan was after enrollment we will go to Alah's place to have a drink and T-Tin would just pick me up there. But because of the mix up I decided to sleep in Alah's place. Problem is, I still don't have any clothes so we went home to my place to pick up my stuffs then went to his place afterwards. Funny thing is any place we go there's water especially in Cavite City even on the main road there's water caused by the heavy rain. We just had a little drink while playing Poker on FB then that's pretty much what happened that night.
Next day we went back to Mapua again to finish things off and we did but it took us half day to finish it. Before finalizing our enrollment we went out to have lunch at Dencio's with Joyce. As expected it's been pretty awkward for me towards Joyce because we haven't heard from each other for quite a while. Now it's official I am an IT student of Mapua. I can't wait for the classes to start but of course it won't take long because it would happen just two days from now.
After the enrollment we went to Joyce's place at Prov (the neighbor of Burgs) to eat snack because Cors prepared some Spaghetti for us. Then there we ate and met Steph, Tricia's thesis mate. We stayed there for almost an hour then we (Alah and I) went back to Makati, Glorietta to be specific to meet up with Kuya Aj. And on the way home we stopped by at McDo Macapagal to buy a Sprite Float and Twister Fries. Then we went straight home to their place. I decided to spend the night there because it's late already.
We managed to make it in time without causing that much of a delay. Then Alah and I together with Kuya Aj and Mang Totoy we're able to make it in Mapua Makati just in time for Alah's interview.

RTP#38: Chikadora
This is about our maid who just got transferred to Pasig because of her ridiculous acts. I called her Chikadora because of what she did and she somehow looks like Dora the explorer as well.
Last month when our telephone bill arrived she made a total of 700 pesos or more because she's calling someone else's cellphone using our land line phone. Then my Mom lend her a cellphone thinking that it would fix the situation. Of course landlines are usually in post paid so it is somehow more convenient to use. Going to the main thing the new land line bill arrived and at this point we're expecting that the bill will be back to it's normal state. But not when Chikadora's around she recorded our bill for IDD calls (not sure if that's what it is called) or simply the land line to cellphone calls for 2 years where we are averaging 200 pesos a month. So she tallied 4,800 pesos and that would give her a grand total of more or less 5,500 pesos for the past 2 months. So calls costs 100 pesos or more and some costs only 12 pesos but because she's always doing it, it piled up.
And another thing is she's calling when of course when we're not around and when we're all asleep. According to the records that I saw she's literally sneaking to make a call. Whether it's 1:00AM or even 4:00AM and in between that span she'll try to make it. And she often complains about having a headache, hmm I wonder why.
It didn't bother me that much until I heard of this that the one's she's been calling is not her family but another lover of hers. Which means Chikadora's cheating on her husband. That's way of the line now and that really pissed me off. Why am I pissed off? Because I hate cheaters I mean I HATE them! Not because I was cheated on by someone but because it is just not right, it is left lol I'm kidding. And what made me find it more stupid is that she's working here to support her family that she left in Davao and now the ones she's cheating on.
And the third party is working right in front of our house. He's one of the refrigerator fixers. What's bothering us is that the guy might take advantage of Chikadora's stupidity and one day he'll be able to get inside our house and the worst case would be robbing it. This thing could really happen.
And there she goes it's also in July 9 '09 when she left. Actually I've spotted the van while I'm in the bus on the way home. And I saw my mom and Chikadora inside. So I figured that as planned they would head to Pasig and let Chikadora work there until she has enough money to pay for her debt and to buy a ticket to Davao.
And there are times that my Mom and Anne received sweet text messages that is meant for Chikadora. And it turned out that aside from the third party here in Cavite she has a fourth party. Oh yeah you read it right Chikadora is a three timer. I did joke about this one time where I said her boys are like her souvenirs, what up? :D The fourth party is a friend of theirs in Davao just think about what could happen once her officially wedded husband find out about all this.
She's actually not a huge loss in terms of the household because she doesn't do it very well. That's why we're wondering why is our Mom still keeping her. And look what she brought a huge trouble. Yes a little help but more on trouble. Thanks to Chikadora's actions now the cleaning is another thing that we're always going to hear from our Mom now.

LP#17: The Last Time

Never thought I'd break this chain
That binds you and me
Brute force wasn't enough
I tried loosening it little by little
And it did the trick
Week by week it's getting weaker
And now it's like it never exists
Everyday I think less of you
And I can say that soon
I'll definitely be over you
And before that time comes
Let me say these for the last time
From the start I knew you're something else
You made me wait even without asking me too
You made little memories flashback everyday
From day to night you're always on my mind
I felt like you're everything that I've wished for
With you I wouldn't ask for more
For you I'm willing to risk it all
And there's no way that I'm going to hurt you
Never thought I'd wake up from this night
Where I can see you and me
Reality is within my reach
I tried to extend as much as I could
Too bad it wasn't enough
Day by day I'm slipping faster
And I fell straight to the ground
Now I think less of you
And I can say that soon
I'll definitely be over you
And before that time comes
Let me say these for the last time
From the start I knew you're something else
You made me wait even without asking me too
You made little memories flashback everyday
From day to night you're always on my mind
I felt like you're everything that I've wished for
With you I wouldn't ask for more
For you I'm willing to risk it all
And there's no way that I'm going to hurt you
This would be the last lines
And I wish you all the best
I know it could be forever
It turned out that is not meant to be

EP#48: Approved or Declined?
Written on: July 7 '09
Today is a big day for me because it's our finals for our Math class. And also we need to pass the Take-Home Quiz in our D-Math class. And as expected the finals is very hard because we are with the regular students. After the exam we went to the library to finish working on the take-home quiz to be submitted later on. Then at around 12:00PM we were able to submit the quiz to our professor. And then we went downstairs again (Me, Roi and Guil) and went to the ATM Machine because Guil is going to widthdraw. Beside the ATM Machine is the bulletin board where the shifting results will be posted. Still 6 steps away from the bulletin board I noticed that there's a new paper. Then I checked it out. It's the list that I've been waiting for like more than a month. The list that would change everything. As I called it before I am waiting for the life changing approval because it is what it is. If I'll be approved then I'll be moving out from the Intramuros Campus and transfer to the Makati Campus which I am begging for. And if I wont be approved then I don't know what to do after it. One thing's for sure I'll feel devastated. I even joked about that if I wont get approved I'll kneel down in front of the bulletin board then scream NOOOO!!! Am I keeping you hanging? Well the result is... APPROVED.
Congratulations to me. I am relived and it feels awemazing to see my name on that list. And from that very moment until now I am still elated by the fact that I was able to get that approval that I am wishing and hoping for. Now that I am officialy going to transfer to Mapua Makati next term do I have any plans? Of course I do here are some of it:
1. Most probably I will be staying in Pasig during school days. To reduce the fatigue in traveling and the time consumed as well. Of course it's more comfortable here in Cavite than in Pasig but I have to do what I got to do. And from what I've heard Chito and I will become room mates. Oh my this would be legen.. wait for it dary!
2. How about the girls? First of course is I am going to search in Mapua Makati and also Chito is willing to set me up with some girl/s from his school. And even though there's a lot of girls to choose from I'm still considering the one who could last for a long time. The one who I can introduce to my family. Basically I am still looking for a serious and mature relationship. The one who can keep up with the busy schedule that I have and would understand if I can't give her the quality time that she demands. But who knows what's going to happen.
3. How about studying? It's time to get serious this is what I really wanted now that I got it it's game time. No more jokes. Easy for me to say but living in a balanced lifestyle would not do the trick anymore but I should change it to a more academically inclined one. Social life is going to suffer? Maybe yes? May no? The ultimate goal is no failing grades for like till I graduate. A little inspiration would really help a lot. That's why I'm looking for a serious girlfriend.
4. The book would still be in progress. The last time I checked I already have 20 pages. But there are still a lot of things to write about. Maybe the manuscript might reach 80+ pages or maybe a hundred pages. My book's progress is going on pretty well despite having less time in writing due to the school works that I am prioritizing I can say that I'm on the right track.
5. Also I must say goodbye to badminton for now. I don't know if I'm going to have some physical activities while I'm in there. Or if I'm still going to have the time to do things like that.
6. My tentative class schedule would be Mondays to Fridays. From 7:30AM - 1:30PM or 3:00PM (MWF) for Tuesdays and Thursdays well I don't know yet. I am planning to go for as may units as possible. I still need to catch up. I know the delay may be cut off in half. But still I have some things to work on with.
7. Saving the best for last. I am planning to pretend that I am also a Freshman or a Frosh since I am often mistaken as one. Just to have some fun you know. ;p
No matter what happens I am thankful that I was able to get this approval and I wont waste this chance to pursue my goal which is the main reason why I shifted to another course. I think I have said enough. Well I am definitely looking forward to the next term but this term isn't over yet still have three final exams so I must study like... right now. Goodnight.
Today is a big day for me because it's our finals for our Math class. And also we need to pass the Take-Home Quiz in our D-Math class. And as expected the finals is very hard because we are with the regular students. After the exam we went to the library to finish working on the take-home quiz to be submitted later on. Then at around 12:00PM we were able to submit the quiz to our professor. And then we went downstairs again (Me, Roi and Guil) and went to the ATM Machine because Guil is going to widthdraw. Beside the ATM Machine is the bulletin board where the shifting results will be posted. Still 6 steps away from the bulletin board I noticed that there's a new paper. Then I checked it out. It's the list that I've been waiting for like more than a month. The list that would change everything. As I called it before I am waiting for the life changing approval because it is what it is. If I'll be approved then I'll be moving out from the Intramuros Campus and transfer to the Makati Campus which I am begging for. And if I wont be approved then I don't know what to do after it.

LP#16: I Just Cant Stop
Written by: Benj Medina III
On: July 4 '09 from 12:29AM-1:03AM
I am lying on my bed
Everyone else is sleeping
I found myself listening to the song you sang
It made me realize what am I going to miss
I said I want to forget about you
It is indeed easier said than done
Because there's always something
That reminds me of you
I know we didn't had anything going
But you're like the sunlight
That I am hiding from during the day
And the cold breeze
That I am covering from during the night
If there's one thing that I can't stop doing
That would be thinking of you
You give me a hard time sleeping
Thinking about you is never ending
I always try to let you know through my songs
But most probably you're not reading it
I said I'd stop writing songs for you
It is one of the funniest thing I'd ever said
Because there wouldn't be a week
That I won't come up with a song about you
I know we didn't had anything going
But you're like the sunlight
That I am hiding from during the day
And the cold breeze
That I am covering from during the night
If there's one thing that I can't stop doing
That would be thinking of you
I don't know when am I going to see you again
But I know that I am missing you so badly
And I want to be by your side
Because once again I want to see that smile
I know we didn't had anything going
But please be mine
I know we didn't had anything going
But please be mine
But you're like the sunlight
That I am hiding from during the day
And the cold breeze
That I am covering from during the night
If there's one thing that I can't stop doing
That would be thinking of you

EP#47: Welcome July '09
This would be a remarkable month indeed. A bunch of things is going to happen her which includes the 4th term finals and the much awaited shifting result will be revealed. And the first day of this month is also my return from the 10 day break that I had. As expected I would not have quite a good day today.
I saw this announcement that all students will be checked upon entering the school due to the A(H1N1). So I assumed that it would be a cost of delay. So instead of setting my departure time at 6:30AM I changed it to 6:00AM for today. Regularly before going to sleep I also set up my cell phone alarm and it turned out that I changed the time of the alarm to 6:00AM. Which is supposed to be the time that I am already leaving. But I was able to wake up 10 minutes before 6:00AM and I just took a shower then dressed up and I am all set. But it turned out that my Mom is also leaving early so she took me and Anne with her. That saved the day for me. But when I arrived in Mapua it is only 8:15AM and the check-up is no longer held at the front gate so it became optional.
Fast forwarding to my Data Struct class. Something bad really happened here. Remember yesterday when I said I am going to pass a take home quiz on Friday but it turned out it is to be submitted today. Damn it! Now I have to pass through a needle to convince my professor to take my late quiz. Let's all hope that he will accept it.
The bad luck isn't over yet. The next class is my Math subject. And most of us are in desperation state there. We need to come up with desperation moves to pass the subject. And we have an assignment a very very very long assignment that only a few students were able to accomplish. And what we did is we did not attend the class and photocopied the answer of our classmate then we will pass it on Friday. Now that's one desperation maneuver. We sacrificed one session to accomplish a complete assignment for it to be added to our final grade. Every point counts at this point for us.
During my vacant period after eating my lunch I went back to the school and checked out the list of approved shifters. What I saw first is Approved Shifters for 4th term SY 2008-2009 that is the current term. And what sinked in to my mind is that it is the result that I've been waiting for. As I checked out the list and looked for my name I am surprised and devastated that I was not able to see my name on the list. I felt like my world is crushed and I don't know what to do on that very moment. So what I thought is I'd go to my adviser and seek some advice on what to do. I'm already in front of her office but I did not enter but instead I went back to the bulletin and read it again. Then I saw the approval date is Mar 23, 2009 which means that it is NOT the one that I am waiting for it's only a false alarm for me. Thank God!
Then I went to the gym where I always hang out. And I bumped into Steph my classmate in HUM11 and Nikka my blockmate. Then we had a lot of fun talking to each other. As a matter of fact we wanted to stay and talk to one another and not attend our classes. But we are good students ;p that's why we still chose to enter our respective classes.
And I am expecting to have the oral proficiency in my last class. But what happened is we also had a quiz. And I was not able to prepare for it but still I was able to get a decent grade. Then here comes the oral proficiency and even though my professor is quite rushing us I must say that as usual I was able to do a awesome job answering.
That's how my school day ended.
And I was definitely was able to bounce back from that bad start and I have so much to do tomorrow and I must accomplish all of it. And at last I am going to play badminton tomorrow. I am so hungry to get a perfect winning record.
I need to rest now I still need to get up early and I have quite a long day ahead. Goodnight.
