Brain Drain
Ugh... My stupid brain is refusing to accept and store vital information for tomorrow's exam. It's telling me that it has reached its weekly limit and it won't cooperate with my studying if I don't give it a break first. So here I am. On the net. Blogging.
Funny. My brain seems to be just fine when online. I guess it's just had enough of numbers and equations and transistors (especially transistors). *sigh* If I fail tomorrow's exam, I'm gonna be really stressed out. This semester's exams have not been going well at all. Of course, I fear for the worst. I go through this every sem, but with each sem the idea of failure (and consequently, delay) gets more real and more possible. Or should I say probable? Hehehe Probably.
Anyway, my eyes are actually getting heavy. I tried to study in the library from around 1pm to 5pm... Let's just say that I left the library with no real additional important information.
Next week should be good, though. It's EEE days from Feb 2 to 6! It should be fun, but I'll just wait and see. No classes will be suspended on account of this week-long event though. *collective boo's from the audience* I just hope that I'll be able to finish what's required. Everything should stabilize after Thursday... Hopefully. I pray to God it does.
Well, gotta go do some less taxing things for my brain!
Oh, by the way, Nikki has a cute, new layout! Check it out!
case#44 update:
Today is day of scheduled experiment.
Blasted groupmate decides to get his molars checked on very important day.
Am having hard time controlling urge to strangle him to death. Most disturbing... Homicidal tendencies not good for my health.
Have decided to take on new mantra to control rabid psychopath within--must not kill. must not kill. must not kill...
Hmmm... new mantra not working so well.
Might have to resort to other means of self-control--physical restraints.
On second thought, it is very hard to type with restraints on.
Oh well, someone's just gonna have to die.
LOTR3
I saw LOTR3 with my friends last Saturday, and I have to say that it was well worth my time and my money and the money that I was robbed of after that! *grins* Of course, like the first two, it wasn't very faithful to the book, but I've long thought of the book and the movie as two separate things so as not to disappoint myself.
Still, I wish they had given more effort into the portrayal of Frodo's character. He lacked personal conflict because the ring didn't look as burdensome as it was described in the book. I'm telling you, when I was reading through Sam and Frodo's parts, I was feeling very heavy as well, and everything was so hopeless and I could feel their hunger and thirst... Masterful writing by Tolkien. And then the fact that Frodo was the least recognized in the Shire towards the end of the book was a bit heartbreaking, too.
Ivy actually said that Frodo was so pathetic. I don't blame her. I remember, after I saw the first movie, I compared Frodo to Miaka of Fushigi Yugi! Hahaha! And then I decided to read the books, and while Frodo did little fighting, he wasn't pathetic at all.
LOTR3: In the movie house
Scene: Legolas enters the room and looks at Frodo
Girls at the movie house: *swoons* *sighs* *shrieks*
Scene: Aragorn follows Legolas in and looks at Frodo
Me: Eeee! *swoons* *sighs* *grabs Ivy by the arm and shakes her* Aragorn!!!
The rest of the movie house: *silence*
Happy 20th to me
Last Dec. 25 was my 20th birthday! So how does it feel? *shrugs* Feels like 19. Hehe No really. I mean whatever. It's not as if we cross a major barrier each time we grow a year older.
Anyway, this Christmas break has been a good one. *smiles and nods* We spent two nights in wonderful Boracay and two more nights in Capiz, our province. Loved it. Wouldn't want to stay there forever, but still loved it. Boracay was interesting. The last time I went there was back in 1992, and it looked just like any other beach -- only with white sands. This time around, I was surprised to see that there were a lot of shops and restaurants and hotels and clubs! The tourist prices were a bit annoying as I am not a tourist and have a limited budget, but I could walk around the shops all day long... Wait a minute. That's exactly what I did! Haha! I went swimming, but only for a little while because it was damn cold. I actually looked stupid during the first night because I was wearing a jacket, so I forced myself to get used to the weather.
Ah... it was fun. We went to Capiz afterwards where I met a bunch of "new" relatives. I was actually inspired to make a family tree. 5 seconds later, I thought the better of it and went back to plain old idling. Dumdeedumdeedum... Mmmm... Idling...
Clubbing
I went to 2 clubs in one week -- one in Boracay on a Sunday night, and the other in Eastwood on a Friday night. That's got to be a record in my book of things I never thought I would do. All I can say is beer tastes bad, cigarette smoke sticks to your hair even after taking a shower, and techno music is not my type of music. On the positive side, though, dancing is fun!
Happy New Year
Well it's still new.
It's the second day of the year 2004 and I am still as lazy as ever.
I tried doing my problem set earlier, and I'm proud to say that I have managed to do 2 out of 6 problems. *round of applause from the audience* I thank you. Bow. Hehehe I promised myself that I would lock myself up in my room and bury myself in my books, but alas! The forces of nature (and of family, friends, and technology) would not allow me to do so! So here I am, once again, cramming and panicking. *sigh*
Now where's that new DVD we got for Christmas...
Boracay...
Setting: Martinez Family is in a van with Tito Cookie, on the way Caticlan where they will be taking a boat to the island of Boracay. Little Chrissa is looking out the window when she catches a glimpse of the sea...
Me: Ooh! Ooh! Ayun na! Nakikita ko na yung beach!
Family: Saan? Saan?
*everyone turns to look outside and tries to see past the trees blocking their view*
Me: Basta nandiyan lang yan... Ayun--
*Little Chrissa's sentence is cut short as they are greeted by the sight of big waves crashing against the rocks*
---- s i l e n c e ----
*collective screams of terror*
Me: Aaaah! I don't wanna die! Hindi ako marunong lumangoy!
Mom: Naku, Cookie, safe ba tumawid ngayon? Baka di kaya nung boat ha...
Cookie: Hindi, okay lang yan. May life vest naman eh.
Kuya Glenn: Okay lang yan!!! Napanood naman nating lahat yung Castawaydi ba?
*Little Chrissa looks at 2nd brother Glenn*
Me: Aaaah! Ayoko ngang ma-stranded dun for four years!!!
THE END
