Sixteen days after my last update, at last, I have a new entry! Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. My blog went to hibernation because of school work. Only three weeks have passed since the second semester had started and I’m already tired. It seems that my professors’ favorite pastime is to give their students loads of assignments, researches, projects, reports and tests. So many deadlines, procrastination is my best friend. My only consolation is that I have a better schedule now, by dusk, I’m already home (except for Tuesdays) and I’ve got loads of break time (two and a half hours of break every Tuesdays and Thursdays and another extra hour every Tuesdays).
Catching Up
Enrollment Day Disaster
This day is a big disaster, thanks to the ridiculously disorganized enrollment day. I had to wait for an unbelievable seven hours and 30 minutes just so I can proclaim myself officially enrolled for the second semester. And the big thing was more than half of that time was spent standing on a line with multitude of students around me.
I arrived at school around 7:30 in the morning. I thought that I would be the first in line. But it turned out that I was the 35th second year student who arrived there. During the first step of my enrollment was not a big fuss. I finished the first step in no time.
Wi-Fi
Haay. Naka dial-up lang ako sa bahay. Yung maingay. Yung eeeeeee grrrrrr eeeeee. Tapos failed, kaylangang ulitin ulit.
Five of my high school friends invaded our home and abused our Internet connection via wi-fi. It all started back in Saturday, when I and some of my friends in high school (a few of them where the same people who invaded our home) played badminton. I did not play much and there was nothing special with it so I will not talk more about it. After we played, we went straight to a mall here in Pampanga, despite that something had blasted in Glorietta 2 the day before that which resulted to a big accident leaving the part of Glorietta 2 where the accident happen unusable, 11 dead, and 129 others injured ((Source: Wikipedia)). As of the time of writing this, the investigators of the accident doubt that it was a cause of terrorism. They still don’t have a concrete evidence that it was a bomb or anything of that sort that set-off this disaster.
Shampoo Commercials
Yes, it’s already my sembreak. There’s so much thing that I want to do, like I want to bake a peach pie, change the layout of this blog, finish watching House MD (special thanks to the piraters here in downtown San Fernando), read, write reviews of the books that I have recently finished reading, update this blog, and the list goes on but since I’ve mentioned about updating my blog… I have to update it.
I’ve already mentioned here that the shampoo commercials in the country looked like they were taped in other countries but it turned out that they were taped inside a studio with the usual shocking green background. Honestly speaking, I’m always fascinated with these commercials. Of course, minus the stupid jingles and the weird dance moves. Whoever created them are brilliant and it must have used all of their creative juices just to come up with these funny yet sometimes stupid commercials.
Big Brother
Once you have entered any Big Brother house, I’m sure, your wouldn’t have any privacy and confidentiality, or if there is, only a little of the two. It’s sad isn’t? You can’t do things without the others knowing it. It’s a breach to everyone’s right: the right to privacy. But then, to relinquish one’s privacy and confidentiality is a prerequisite or a mechanic or whatever you want to call it of the reality show. Besides, the housemates have consented to relinquish their privacy and confidentiality by joining the game.
Cinderella
Let me tell you a story about my misadventures last Monday…
It was my last PE class this semester. Every single day that I have a PE class, I bring with me my PE uniform and my rubber shoes. On the morning of Monday, when I have finished preparing myself for the day, I decided to play Jak II on our PS2 console. An hour had passed and that means I had to go. But I still haven’t packed my things, I was cramming. I’m not one of those students who are always tardy and I really avoid to be tardy.
My Top 10 Worst Teachers
In this post, I’ll feature my worst, incompetent, illiterate, unprepared teachers in no particular order. I’m sure I have talked about some of them, but for the sake of my new readers, I’ll still add them here.
20 Things About Blogging
Let’s start…
- Many people use WP, but they don’t know how to use it. Urgh. And oh, there is a new WP release (version 2.1.2). All users of WP are encouraged to upgrade their installation/s ASAP!
- Use Technorati to track your blog’s current rank in the blogosphere. But keep in mind that we don’t blog for rank.
- Google’s Blog Search indexes most of the blogs in the blogosphere. Try using it if you can’t find something relevant to your search in the main Google search. You can also use Technorati for searching blogs.
- I sometimes have a cross-post at LJ (add me), Multiply, WordPress.com, and Blogspot. These are four sites that you may want to use if you can’t host your own blog.
- Publishing an RSS feed is very helpful to your readers.
How Nice!
My site is currently down at this moment… my host are not responding with any responce.. I think they are on vacation or something, you know, it’s the holiday season… grr… I wonder if I can export my posts here…
