The Calm After the Storm

hystericblue — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:16:50 +0000

I’m sitting here at work, almost 3 days since I had my last Finals.
It’s a great feeling knowing all the hard work is done, but what’s highly nervewracking about it’s how the work’s gonna turn out in the end.

I just hope I see a lot of 3′s in there instead of a big fat 5.

————–
But for now I just have the Dilnet Applicants’ exam to make, and this big pizza party later for all the Dilnet people. Oh happy day. =)

A Slow Day

Besides Mom going out to buy stuff and go to Church, there’s nothing much going on today… Guess it’s not much of a Hell Week… not yet at least.
Something inside me wishes the practical exam today didn’t get postponed. Then again, something inside me says it’s just fine.

Now I’m just going for my gaming stuff and everything… Maybe relax a bit.

Plurkers are they!

I arrived in Dilnet some time ago… that is, after my ME 63 exam (which, by the way, was 50% easy and 50% confusing– there *were* only two problems anyways :p ).

Everyone settled in some time after I arrived, and now I find… 1, 2, 3, 4… 5 Plurkers on the scene, microblogging away. And doing meebo. And Friendster… most of them Plurking.
Seems I’m the only one who’s doing actual old-fashioned blogging and stuff.
What if things such as Plurk and meebo weren’t invented though? Then there might not be so many distractions to my schoolwork. Then again, that wouldn’t be much fun either, would it?

(One of my friend’s Plurk page’s titled “A Plurker is Me” after his favorite online game Kingdom of Loathing. And he’s probably the most addicted person to Plurk in the room right now. Except maybe for the other dude who just came in looking at me type this post and pulling my hair. :p I wouldn’t know… I don’t have an account.)

A Testament

One week of hell to come.
More to come in a month.

I say: bring it on!
But honestly, 4 exams in one week? That’s just ridiculous…

(saging lang ang may puso!!)

There’s this incredibly obscure movie, Apoy sa Dibdib ng Samar. Well, it would be obscure, save for this one line by none else than Mark Lapid:

Oo! Inaamin ko, saging lang kami! Pero maghanap ka ng puno sa buong Pilipinas… Saging lang ang may puso… SAGING LANG ANG MAY PUSO!!

You should see that scene. The look on the policeman(restraining Mark Lapid)’s face… One of the things you can’t buy with a Mastercard(TM).
Hence the title.

*Again, I’m just here in DilNET. Not that there aren’t any tech support calls. It just feels kinda wrong for me to leave the place alone. (Two colleagues that were with me earlier left for somewhere already.) Things have been pretty uneventful this week, especially since we don’t have an exam in EEE33 tomorrow. Actually, I’m not sure how to feel about that.

*I’ve undertaken a project for the Computer Networks Laboratory (to which I applied for affiliateship over the summer). It’s a really cool project, and I hope that this would really help the most people in the EEE department when it’s done. (=D) I’m gonna have to get to work on interface design soon enough. I’m getting used to programming again… At least, for my own good, I could learn a bit more from day-to-day experiences.

*QCSHS people have formed a new organization called Xientia. We haven’t met again, though…

*I’m back to wrestling training again. And weight training. Considering most people in the club are way stronger than I am, it kinda makes sense. =D

*When the time also came for the State of the Nation Address, the Computer Center received a bomb threat. (This, though, was not as publicized as the one made to Diliman Preparatory School). My colleagues who were there swear the SWAT team took ages to arrive. The employees who were there at the time had enough time to hold a meeting, take pictures, etc before the building was pronounced safe (and not due to become rubble in the next 20 or so minutes.

My life’s going at a breakneck pace right now. But since it’s hard for me to notice anyway, I just try to relax. And maybe go to SM. Hehehehehehehehe. XP

(incredibly long pause)

I don’t know why I suddenly stop pouring out my thoughts to my little patch of cyberspace every s often. Maybe it’s just me.
It’s been one whole sem (and one summer) since I stopped (again). Maybe I’ve been just too busy. XD

And yet life goes on. And everyone else blogs… while waiting for people to call or come in, asking for help with something.
I’m just… here.

Maybe I’ll go to SM. Or TriNoMa. Hehehehehe.

Corpo Wednesday # 3

hystericblue — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 09:23:24 +0000

I have Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) classes at the College of Business Administration on Wednesdays, instead of from the College of Engineering’s, where I’m from, because you can finish your CWTS credit in one semester in that specific college. In our specific version of the course, we’re allowed to choose a charitable organization in groups and raise/solicit funds for their benefit. After the initial sessions, the class meets once every other week to report on our progress for our fundraising activities, and during those sessions, we’re required to wear corporate attire. For us guys it meant long-sleeved shirts, slacks and black shoes every single meeting.

And since I have practically no time to change in between transferring from the CWTS room to the UP Computer Center (where I work) or to make-up classes and exams, I usually have to go to work or solve calculus problems while in corpo. It’s an occurrence which, of course, goes without saying– draws a lot of attention, usually from people who think you’re a professor (or something similar).

We’re under quota with our solicitations, by the way– if you can help, you might want to contact me. XD

Also, it’s the third time we have met while in corpo attire.

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year. Wala lang…
I guess one of my New Year’s resolutions should be to post a little more… regularly.
I’ll get to that by the time school resumes.

But for the meantime…
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!

Hi! I’m Jesse… Jepy, for short (even though it’s just one letter).
Welcome to my brain. It’s got a lot going on. Most of it you would find normal. Most of the less-than usual things that occur in my life happen in my mind. I imagine a lot of things that would be more or less unusual or improbable… especially when I’m bored. Here I’ll tell you about all those, as well as bring you to the real world, the way I see it.

So I welcome you to the Par-A-Normal Bookstore. Go in and feel at home. After all, it’s all in my brain. X )
