I’ve been talking to my Lourdes kids these past few days about near-graduation dilemmas, like if they should continue to pursue debate in college, what course they should take, and of course, the biggest question of which university should they choose. Being the pa-star and feeling person that I am, I always say that what they should do is to just ( Read more... )

 I just got back home from a village friend's house, and as I've texted Claire a while ago, I'm really basag. We just drank pitchers of Red Horse, but everyone got really smashed after 2 Mucho cases (that's around 10-12 Mucho bottles). And I wonder how my Mum would be able to wake me up at 7AM tomorrow, cos we need to conform with family traditions ( Read more... )

I've just finished watching all three seasons of Dexter. Finally.

If it weren't forhomocoucho's post, I wouldn't have known of this amazingly fantastic show. Quoting her, "The premise is pretty simple: a serial killer who kills serial killers" (Matias, 2008). Because of a traumatic experience in his childhood, Dexter developed some weird psychological ( Read more... )

I have just checked the requirements for the Online Application for Masters (Coursework) of Language Studies in NUS. I think I am qualified; my average is higher than the minimum grade requirement (which is just B or 2.0), and my four-year course in UPD is the equivalent of their Honours year. When I looked at the concentration subjects of the ( Read more... )

My laptop's back from the shop, and it's so virginal. I had it reformatted because I was caught by Bill Gates that I was using a crack Windows VIsta and MS Office 2007, so I had no choice but to reformat it and have a new pirated version installed. Yes, I'm still using pirated even if I already wanted to use an authentic version because Dad stopped ( Read more... )

I really, really hate pretentious people. It's simply because I don't see the point of creating a new identity for yourself in a context of very accommodating and understanding people. That's why the only seemingly-rational excuse of pretentious people that "I am just so scared to be ostracized by the world" is already out of that very context, ( Read more... )

1) You are working on blogs, yet you don't update your own.
2) Your Chapter 5 (Data Analysis and Interpretation) is still very unclear, even inside your head.
3) Your batchmates worry about their revisions, but you don't have anything to revise.
4) Your software is not working at the time you need it most (Please please please WMatrix, don't leave me ( Read more... )

After being recognized as the Alta Challenge Survivor, I'm now back in the chaotic streets of Manila, where everyone can be a suspect for a crime. One thing I liked best about Davao is that it seems so peaceful that walking on the grepa overpass from Alta to Gaisano seemed so safe, at least if you compare it to the grepa Philcoa overpass. The cheap ( Read more... )

Fxck all this katamaran of the world, I need to cram all my requirements that I could have done in September this weekend. At just to add more pain to the festering wound (DECL inside joke), my desktop is no longer working now ( Read more... )

(during our thesis advising two weeks ago)
The Adviser: When can you submit your Chapter 5- Data Gathering and Interpretation?
Me: Er, can I have two weeks? I can submit it on Sept 19.
The Adviser: No, just submit it before.... SEMBREAK.

Yes, there goes my first- ever INC in my whole college life.

But it wasn't really the decision of my thesis adviser ( Read more... )
