OMG, calendar, why you so full!!!

Give me strength to be a master web programmer on Friday and Saturday (for my brother's sake) then paradigm shift into the research scientist/doctor on Sunday (because I got accepted at a national conference and I need to shorten that 348-paged manuscript into a 25-paged one).

Because. I don't know how I get into ( Read more... )

Today, one of my dearest mentors passed on. Rest in peace, Tito Merlo.
I wish I had seen you one last time before you went into ICU. I returned to APC with you no longer there.

I'm listening to a male-fied version of Sugar Rush now so I wouldn't go full blast with the water works. Can't help but get teary-eyed.

The biggest diff between the academe and the game dev industry:

In game dev, people don't care about your age and I kinda like the guessing game (because it's always in my favor). But in the academe, hala, sige, pagkalandakan ko na age ko and all. May I announce proudly. I really hate being mistaken for a student (mas insulting pa kung baka mamaya ( Read more... )

I even got to be evasive of gossip mongers.

Intrigerang Old Frog: So kamusta love life mo?

My head: Takte, gagawa ka na naman ng issue. Eh kahit wala naman ako love life mag-iimbento ka na naman ng mga taong kesyo crush ko, pakakasalan ko o makakabuntis sakin.

"Kala ko kasi twenties ka lang kaya di ka namin pinapansin kanina."

It's really a good thing, I had my business cards printed yesterday, bearing my creds. Though it still doesn't save me from the humiliation of being dismissed because ( Read more... )

I've told Kei that I'd like to switch water delivery services because the old lady that mans the one in our building does not pay attention when we pay her. Sometimes she'd be watching TV while Kei is paying up. So we had a balance that was actually NOT OURS. I just paid for it, just to settle things, since we didn't have a receipt.

It was loads of fun.

I re-introduced myself to the late students and the conversation went like this:

Late Student: D-doctor? Doctor po kayo?
Student A: Ano ka ba, bakit ka laging parang gulat?
Me: Oo, pero wag kayo magpagamot sakin kasi hindi ako MD.
Student B: Sinabihan na po kami ni Ms. Nikka ng background nyo. Double-degree and PhD holder na ( Read more... )

Three days into 2013 and I'm already hating it.
(Now you see why this is on LJ and not on my public blog.)

LOL, I welcomed 2013 with a bang because I was so happy with my 2012 (despite cancelled projects etc). My public blogs were very promising too:

1. 10 reasons why 2012 had been good to me
2. 10 goals for 2013

By the second day of 2013, everything that ( Read more... )
