Yoochoob

I am finally done with ALL my written assignments for this week. That is the draft for Research, the final copy of our composition in Filipino, Chem lab report (I HATE THIS LAB REPORT REALLY) and that thingy sa 1/2 for English. I haven't memorized even half of Like The Molave! Darrrrrn.

Not yet Rizal, not yet; Sleep not in peace
There are a thousand waters to span
There are a thousand mountains to cross
There are a thousand crosses to be borne
Our shoulders are not strong; our sinews have
Grown flaccid with dependence; smug with ease
Under another's wing; Rest not in peace

Okay hanggang diyan pa lang namememorize ko. Nakakatamad talaga. As in, sobra. Ang ayaw ko talaga sa Chem labrep was hindi masyado madali intindihin ang redox reactions (para sa akin ha). I had to consume all my time looking for helpful references sa net but kahit na ok naman ang explanation sa net, wala parin ako naiintindihan. It's easier to learn kung may nagtuturo talaga. So hopefully tomorrow, maituro na sa amin ang redox reactions.

So after finishing all my requirements, I watched Hangeul Island (FT Island's show that was shot during their stay in Japan) on Youtube! Thank God na may English subs na. Matuturuan na din ako ni Wonbin magsalita ng Korean. Hahaha. So far, I only got to watch the 1st two episodes dahil tinatamad na rin ako manood. I actually got to learn two phrases in Korean. One was taught by Hongki and the other was taught by Wonbin. These are:

Sa ja reul ki woo da -- I keep a lion (taught by Hongki)
Woori Yeongwonhi Gachi Hamggeh Haja -- Let's stay together forever (taught by WONBIN)

Wala laaang. Naaliw ako sa tinuro ni Wonbin. Hehehe so very sweet. Sabi pa nga nya sa video to say it to all of your loved ones. Lol. XDDD Tska kanina, I posted a message sa message board ng Pops In Seoul promoting Paradiso. WE SERIOUSLY NEED A LOT OF ADVERTISING. So yun, naisip ko na magpost sa Pops In Seoul message board. Sana mabasa ni VJ Isak on TV ang message! SANA LANG PLEAAAASE. Ate Nins also posted a message. Hehehe. ;D

----------

Remember Jung Sungha? That 11 yr old Korean kid who's good in playing the guitar? Guess what. He played 'Anak' by Freddie Aguilar and posted it on Youtube (actually, it's his dad who posts the videos on Youtube.. I think). A lot of Filipinos actually commented on the video and they really liked it. Even I liked it. Sungha's rendition of Anak is really captivating. Magaling talaga siya na bata. Kaso nga lang sa video, wala si Sungha mismo na tumutugtog ng gitara tapos ang video is parang seashore lang. Pero sige nalang. Maganda naman yung music eh. Hehehehe. Here's the video if you want proof. XD

So that's my day today. Monday nanaman bukas at feel ko na malapit na ang exams. Gagawin ko pa ang bagong Bayani of the Week announcement. Hehehe. Babayoooooo.

A matter of time

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!! But it doesn't really make a difference since madaming kailangan gawin over the weekend. Ang kailangan ko matapos is yung draft ng Chapter 1 sa Research, Chem lab report, magmemorize ng Like The Molave for English, i-computype ang composition sa Filipino, at marami pang iba na siguro sa Monday ko pa malalaman. Nakakapagod talaga ang araw na ito dahil sunod-sunod ang mga sinasagutan na quiz, exercise, etc etc etc.

Let's start with Math. The lesson isn't that hard kase we had an exercise lang. Problem is, it was quite long so it was kinda tiring to the brain. Hahaha my neurons are strained. Boooo. After that was Filipino. We had a quiz on how to revise some composition in all ways. Like, fix all the words with wrong spelling, wrong grammar, revise other stuff, you get the point. I didn't have a hard time since I grew up speaking Tagalog (people actually ask me to translate stuff into Tagalog.. haha. it's fun anyway). I'm starting to have a feeling that my grades in Filipino will be better if the lesson would be composition. Hahaha I suck at grammar. English grammar is waaay easier. It's easier to read in English as well! DIBAAAA? Obvious naman eh. Lol. Anyway, after Filipino was Physics. The quiz was suuuuuper easy. Tapos yung lesson after was just a review of our lessons in 2nd year. After that was Statistics. The quiz was also okay. Kailangan lang talaga mag-isip nang mabuti at maging careful. Akala ko computations ang quiz yun pala halos objective type na siya. Nagmemorize pa talaga ako ng formula. Wth. =)) Buti nalang after the quiz, we got dismissed early and after Stat was a vacant period so I had early lunch.

Eating lunch without Angel feels weird. Hahaha. Absent si Gel today and I don't know why. Nasanay na kase ako na kasabay si Angel and Grace maglunch sa classroom. After eating, I brushed my teeth (as usual. dapat naman talaga diba? haha). May nagsabi na mag quiz sa Bio pero actually, WALA PALA. Whateverrrrrrr. =))

During Bio, as I said walang quiz. Yehey. Tapos naaliw ako sa lesson today kase masyado madaming HOTS (high on thinking skills) na terms. Muntik nga lang ako antukin nung Bio dahil masarap ang baon ko nung lunch at medyo malamig ang panahon. Obviously, napakasarap matulog, diba? Anyway, we discussed about the light independent reaction. It's more interesting than the light dependent reaction kase it has more organic molecules and reactions and other stuff. Hahaha. Nerd much? O sige. Eto ha. Akala niyo NADPH (nicotinomide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate) lang ang meron? THINK AGAIN!

RuBP - ribulose diphospate

RuBisCo (parang Rebisco noh?) - ribulose diphospate carboxylase

PGA - phosphoglyceric acid / phosphoglycerate

Phosphorus + PGA = bisphosphoglyceric acid

PGAL - phosphoglyceraldehyde
CAM - crassulecean acid metabolism

PEP carboxylase - ano meaning ng PEP? haha

4 carbon acids (meron pala nito?) - examples include malic acid and oxaloacetic acid (i think this is hydrogen + oxalate + acetate. tama ba? lmao)

At sa totoo lang, I'm still expecting for more nosebleed terms when we discuss the digestive system. As in yung mga enzymes, hormones, and the like. It's interesting actually, pero ayaw ko magdoctor. Wala akong patience para diyan. May Chem Eng'g ako! Hahaha.

After Bio class, may Values Enrichment Program pala kami. As usual, I expected it to be boring but it wasn't that boring pala. Hehehe. I got to get some really "intriguing" quotes such as 'Death is the great equalizer' and 'You will not have even a single cent beyond the grave'. But the best one is, 'YOU DON'T WORK, YOU DON'T EAT'. Totoo naman ehhhh. And yup, I took pictures again. Especially for my blog. XD

Uuuuuy Tofu-Tams!

After the VEP, all of use went out and got to watch the Freshies have their VEP in the quadrangle. Naglaro sila nung game na kailangan tumakbo and stuff BUT Chesmar and Ian G weren't running. Boohoo. Nakakatawa yung part na when Ian G ran but pumunta sa kabilang side yung nanghahabol na mga tao. Hayyy, memories of Val Ed. Puro games talaga na hindi ko rin alam bakit may games pag Val Ed. Hahaha.

So while waiting for the gate to open, almost all of us (including the BOYS) camwhored like crazy since they said, TODAY IS OUR LAST DAY ON EARTH. I mean, alam naman natin ang sinabi nilang July 18 (which is apparently, today) na earthquake? So while waiting for the "earthquake", ayun. Picture picture. Sinusulit ang mga nalalabing mga sandali dito sa lupa. Charoot. XD Sorry if the pics don't really have good quality. I mean, I just use a 2 megapix camera phone. Sucks right? Lol.

After "waiting" for the earthquake, WALA PALANG EARTHQUAKE. It's just a hoax. Tama pala si Chris. Hehehe. Nakakainis nga kanina na-low batt cellphone ko kaya I didn't take much pics. Buti nalang pareho kami ng battery ni Jp so I borrowed his battery. Thanks Jp! So after camwhoring, we left school, I went down at Assumption and walked to Holiday Spa since my parents told me to wait there. Out of boredom, I finally finished my draft of Chapter 1 for Research. I didn't make it as complicated and I still have to encode it sa MS Word then I'll revise. Hahaha random thought lang. I think that a lot of good ideas come out of my mind when the color of the pen I use is really nice. Like when I was making my draft for Research, I used my purple pentel pen and I got to write down a lot of stuff. Teehee. Anyway, I saw Grandpa Mitch too and he told me na sasama siya sa bday celebration ni Hannah tomorrow at Pizza Hut. Yay! After that, my parents fetched me, went to bring the laundry, and went home. I had chicken pie for dinner again. Masarap man ang chicken pie ng Goldilocks eh. Paspas kaayo mahurot sa mga store ba. Hehehe. And now I'm blogging. And drinking Fit n Right.

I remember a weird conversation that I overheard when my parents were talking inside their room. The door was partially opened so I heard what they were talking about.

Dad: Pagamitin kaya natin si Macey ng Xenical
Mom: Safe ba yan?
Dad: Oo! May 14 yr old nga daw na naglose ng 40 pounds dahil sa Xenical eh.

And a while ago during breakfast, my dad was drinking Fit n Right. And he talked to me about losing weight. Okaaay? Hahaha.

Dad: Macey, pag-aralan mo itong L-Carnatine. Nakakatulong ito para maglose ka ng weight.
Me: Pa, alam ko na yan. Parati nila yan sinasabi sa mga commercial.
Dad: ..mag-Fitrum ka kaya?
Me: ..*blank stare*

HAHAHA OKAY. =)) But I appreciate that my dad's trying to help me despite the fact that he's the one making my baon everyday. That's why parating masarap ang baon ko. Dahil si Daddy ang nagluluto. The most delicious food in the world is the food cooked with love. Kaya parating masarap ang lutong bahay. Depende lang sa ulam. =))

----------

RANDOM STUFF!

I'm currently reading The Zahir by Paulo Coelho. I noticed that in Coelho's books, the start is usually boring, the middle part is fun to read, and the end part is super unperdictable. Like in Veronika Decides To Die. I thought that Veronika would die talaga yun pala ginawa siyang guinea pig sa experiment ni Dr. Igor. Nagulat nga ako sa ending eh. Hehehe. But really, Coelho's books are really good. I have 11 books all in all. I need to more to complete the collection. Wala pa kase ang Twilight. BOOOOO. T_T

I'll post random pics again. Masanay na kayo. Hehehe.

Who wants to be one anyway? Nosebleed kaya ang Physics. =))

Mukha bang end of the world? Hahaha

Also during Lunch time, I was sharing to Nyka about what I saw on Listverse. There is such a thing as The Church of Google and Pastafarianism (aka the Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster). It is simply intriguing. Go judge for yourself. All I can say is that the human mind can do so many things, really. Amen to the power of neurones. Hahaha.

Click here for the article on Listverse!

AT DUN SA NAGPREDICT NA MAY EARTHQUAKE NGAYON, LOSER KA.

LOSER

LOSER

LOSERRRRRR.

Hahaha. May ibang schools kaya na nagdeclare na walang klase dahil dun. Galing mo mangbola, pre. Hahahaha. But anyway, thank God na wala talagang earthquake. :)

So that's it for today. Dami pang gawin over the weekend. Waaah.

Hanging on a staple wire

Supposedly I have one more day to live, what will I do? Will I live my life to the fullest? I think I will, but I think God will only let me die when I have done something super duper diduper ultra mega to the max to the highest level to the nth power amazing. Since I havent done anything like that, I guess I'm still meant to spend a little more time here on Earth (mga, 100 years more? lol). Yeah yeah, isang araw nalang bago ang nasabing earthquake. Anyway, I think it's a hoax. Kung may earthquake talaga, magbabalita ang Phivolcs or something. I mean, ang Phivolcs nasa loob lang naman ng campus so kami ang una nilang maliligtas, dibaaaaa? DIBAAAAA? Hahaha. Yun yun eh.

Today was a normal day, as usual. Kaninang umaga nga lang, biglang umulan tapos dapat hindi kami mag PE kaso tumigil ang ulan and nagPE kami. In fairness, enjoy ang kickball but it isn't the sport for me. Haha. I suck at kickball to the extent of tagging myself (I kicked the ball gently and the ball landed right infront of me. I was about to run when my foot suddenly touched the ball. Great. Pagkabraaaaaayt). Handa na din ako magka 2.00 sa PE. Babawi nalang ako sa PE written exam and sa Health! And yes, magkakaroon ng interclass kickball game. Top 9 players in each section - 5 boys and 4 girls. Tanggap ko na na wala ako sa top 9. HAHAHA. I got to take pics din during kickball. Weeeee. XD

After PE, it was time to change clothes. I didn't take a long time to dress up anyway. Hehehe. After that was Chem. The quiz about limiting reactants wasn't as hard as I expected it to be. After the quiz, we had a lab activity. It was super easy kase it took us about 15 minutes lang para tapusin. Nakakaaliw yung mixture ng potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid. At first it turns brown then kung patakan ng hydrogen peroxide, it starts to smoke and becomes colorless. Of course, may brown stuff na nagsink sa ilalim ng test tube. Dapat nga mga 5 drops lang ng hydrogen peroxide ang ginamit kaso nga lang brayt ako kaya nagamit namin was 55 drops. WAHAHAHA. Anyway, I got to take pics again. XD

Ang pretty. Purple ang kulay. :D

After the activity, we went back down to the classroom to bum around (haha). Angel brought her laptop Babes and the Smart Bro thingy where you could go online anywhere. Cool noh? We got to go online and Angel even got to make a GIF of us with Edsel and Michael. Ah, the power of technology. ;D

GIF made by Angel :D

After Chem was Health. Health was fun since Sir made us make "brochures" where we had to write positive stuff about ourselves. Also, we learned some tips on how to improve our self esteem (char). One tip was to do something that helps you feel good. For me, that thing would be badminton. Hindi masyado sa eating kase kung mag overeat ako, pangit ang feeling. Kasukaon kaayo. Hahaha. After Health was lunchtime. My baon for lunch was tapa and fried talong. Yum yum yum. XD Surprisingly, I did not find myself cramming during Lunch time, as I always do. Uyyyy improving study habits! HAHAHA. Kuno, kuno lang bai. Also, we got to watch the Freshies have their PE class! So funny. They had to do aerobics. Naalala ko tuloy nung first year nag aerobics kunuhay din kami. Hahaha. My Humps pa ata yung song na ginamit namin eh. After Lunch was Math. Math was okay. More graph drawing. Then Socsci was next. We finally got to discuss the Greek Civilization, and a lot about Hellenistic culture. Unfortunately, we didn't get to talk about mythological figures like Zeus, Aphrodite, etc. Maybe para sa 4th year English pa talaga yan. Excited na ako sa Greek Mythology! Hahaha.

After Socsci, Research na. Last subject for the day! We discussed on how to write Chapter 1 and my groupmates and I talked about the division of the load in making the 1st chapter. Yeah yeah I got pissed off during Research pero ayoko na pagusapan kung bakit. Anyway, 1.00 ang grade kung masubmit ang draft on Monday. Kaya yan, kaya yan! I just need some info from NFA. Problem is, how to get the info. Goodluck nalang sa akin. Hehehe. After Research, I got to talk to Ma'am Mendoza and I asked her kung pwede ako sa decoration committee para sa prom. She told me na magparecruit daw ako sa kanyang assigned committee heads and magconcentrate nalang muna ako sa aking pagpapapayat (ok, this is not going anywhere. seriously. haha). Did I mention na Ma'am Mendoza is also vain like us Sodium people? Hahaha. Like teacher like student eh! Teehee. =)

During dismissal time, I got to chat with some freshies specifically Hikaru, Jethro and Miko. I got to get some chizems from them. Hahaha! Ang sama ko talaga. Lol. Tapos nang pauwi na, my parents told me to get down at Assumption and after that, we went to Victoria. I went to Pen Haus to buy brown envelopes for Research and for my personal stock. Nang palabas na ako, I ran into Ma'am Suzy sa may tapat ng grocery. Hehehe then I went to Arirang (that Korean store next to Sen Ton Whan) since my mom bought her buckwheat noodles. So, I decided to buy some jjamppong (HINDI YUNG LUCKY ME HA. KADIRI YUN) and ice cream. My mom also made me read some stuff written in Hangul and she told me to learn how to understand Korean so I could read instructions at the back of the wrapper of the noodles that she buys. Hahaha. Yeah I could read Korean but I don't understand it so it's pretty useless. Loserrrr much! After that, we went to Damosa to get some stuff and I saw Earvin eating in Dimsum Diner. What ever happened to Dimsum Diner's Shin noodles. Waaaah. Anyway, I got home and had chicken pie for dinner and I did my homework. That's my dad for today.

Onga pala. Individual pala ang Chapter 1 sa Research. Okaaaay goodluck to me. =)) Maglaag baya ako sa weekend eh. Birthday man gud ni Habahannah. :)

July 18 na pala bukas. The day of the earthquake kuno. Whatever happens, nagdasal na ako kanina sa simbahan asking for forgiveness just in case magkaearthquake talaga. But whatever. No one can predict the future. Only God know what the freaking hell will happen next. So, I think that the earthquake is a hoax. Sure ako na ulaw kaayo katong nagsabi na may earthquake bukas kung walay earthquake. Kung walang earthquake, GARAAN PUD NAKO TONG NAGPREDICT NA MERON. HAHA LOSER SIYAAAAAA. Bastaaaa. Sana walang earthquake. Ipagdasal nating lahat. :)

----------

I'll post random pics this time. Para lang di masayang yung inupload ko sa Photobucket. Wahahaha.

My dad sent this sa MMS. Caption is: "Look into my eyes". Okaaay. =)) Nice try dad! Hahahaha.

KYAAAAAAA MAY WONBIN SELCA THREAD NA SA PARADISO! WOOT WOOOOOOT!!! I LOVE YOU ATE NINS (for making the thread, of course)!!!! HAHAHAHA. KUMPLETO NA ANG ARAW KO!!!! XDDDDD

That's all for now. Sana buhay pa ako bukas. Bantay lang yang manghuhula na yan kung walang earthquake. GARAAN KO SIYA DIRI. PROMISE GYUD.
