変な 夢い が ありました。。

I read this blog which was copied from somewhere which was about 10 things about people and dreams..

a few things that concerns that trivia and this blog include the following.. 1) the people you see in your dreams are people you've seen in real life, 2) when you dream, your body doesn't move, and 3), you forget your dreams..

let's go to #1.. I just found this true because my dream was about a certain person who I really know.. what's weird is that there were a lot of people there who don't look like her, but in my dream, they are either her family members, or relatives.. I'm not sure, all I know is, the dream took place in this freakishly huge house..

considering that the people in my dreams involve people I've seen in real life, my subconscience must have used these complete strangers that I've seen to represent well, people who I really haven't met.. all I know is, the main characters in my dream were the only people whom I know..

now I'd like to talk about #2.. it said in the trivia blog that when we dream, our bodies are in a state of paralysis of some sort because of hormones that prevent us to move during sleep.. well for whatever reason it is that we don't move when we dream, I realized one thing.. when my dream got cut just when it was getting really really good, my body was facing the window when I slept facing the ceiling.. so, I'm guessing that when my body moved to face the window, that was the instant that my dream got cut.. damn.. just when it was getting exciting.. @_@

since this is a blog, many people can read this.. so I'm not going into further detail as to what the dream was about.. but regarding #3, there are some dreams that I'll admit I've forgotten, but there are those that I don't forget.. well, okay, I'll forget the majority of the details, but I won't forget the climax of the dream.. eventually, I might forget them, but for now, I know what I remember.. XD

疲れた けど とても 楽くなった。。。

kahapon first class ko 9am.. dumating ako sa mapua ng 7:25.. kamusta naman diba?? inasaahan ko ang traffic, pero hindi ko inasaahan ang mabilis na daloy ng traffic sa kabilang kalsada kaya napa-aga ang dating ko sa mapua..

9am na, nasa classroom na ako for my thermodynamics 1 with sir A.. pagpasok niya, sabi niya "wait lang" and bumalik xa mga 20 minutes later.. inabot ang discussion namin ng 10am.. ang masama run, may meeting kaming kailangan puntahan ng 9:30 in preparation for the free day this november.. pagdating ko sa student center, hindi pa tapos ang meeting.. so nakinig na lang ako sa kung anu man ang gustong ikwento ni Doc Mateo.. after ng meeting, mga 10:30 na un, kaya hinanap ko na ang mga batchmates ko na nasa tambayan lang pala.. doon ay hinintay kong lumipas ang oras hanggang sa aking next class na 3:00.. @_@

around 12:45, bumaba na sina Bryan at Samuel para sabihing wala ang prof nila sa Che Cal 3 who is Sir Medarlo, so most likely wala rin kaming klase ng CPI sa kanya.. buti na lang pupunta kami sa may morayta para magpasukat ng aming mga jersey para sa intrams.. tapos after nun ay pupunta kami ng Mandaluyong para maglaro ng basketball... ang nangyari nga lang ay, umulan.. kaya pagdating namin sa Mandaluyong, basa ang court, kaya pinatuyo pa namin bago kami nakalaro..

nung kuntento na kami sa tuyo ng court, naglaro na kami ng 3-on-3.. dahil sa biglaan ang pag-imbita sa akin sa laro, ako ay naglaro ng walang dalang extra na damit, naka-pantalon, at naka-sandals lamang.. @_@.. ung iba naman naka tsinelas or sapatos.. pero ung mga naka-tsinelas, nag-yapak na rin lang kasi mas madaling gumalaw.. un nga lang masakit sa paa..

sa tagal naming maglaro, nakita namin ang aming mga strengths and weaknesses.. MAY SECRET WEAPON NA ANG CHEMSOC!! PERO HINDI KO SASABIHIN KUNG SINO!! ISA XANG ADIK SA PAGLARO NAMIN KAHAPON!! UNSTOPPABLE TALAGA!!

going back to the story, bumalik na kami sa bahay ni xti kasi sa may kanila kami naglaro.. nagulat kami at pinakain pa kami ng marmalade sandwich (na malaking tulong pag dehydrated ka) at juice na matabang (dapat lang kasi yun din naman ang formulation ng gatorade and such drinks)... pauwi, pinahiram pa ako ng shirt ni xti kasi wala nga akong extra.. buti na lang nagkasya ung shirt.. kay xti raw malaki maxado eh.. =P

pagdating ko sa bahay, kumain ako at naligo.. habang hinihintay ang tubig na mainit, humiga ako sa sofa.. at napa-isip ako bigla na "shet! baka hindi na ako makabangon nito!" kasi ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko.. after ko maligo, tulog na.. pero nag-email lang muna ako kasi may nangangailangan ng listahan ng HW sa Phy Chem 2..

so, kahapon pauwi, masakit ang paa ko kasi nga sandals lang ang ginamit ko sa laro.. ngayon, masakit ang aking forearms siguro dahil matagal na akong walang laro.. but like I said.. 疲れた けど とても 楽くなった (napagod man ako, sobrang nag-enjoy naman!)。。。 ^_^

grr!! I need to learn Japanese faster!!!

I know.. I know.. "nag-aaral ka naman ng japanese ngayon ah!".. that may be the case, but I want to learn how to understand japanese faster.. not just learning more vocabs and sentence patterns, but my listening comprehension MUST IMPROVE a hell of a lot more than where I am right now..

I just watched a video of Ikimono Gakari where they sang the song "Koisuru Otome", and midway through their performance, the video showed an interview segment with the band.. I could hear some words that I could understand during the interview, but what I had problems with the interview was that I could barely understand what the vocalist was saying.. what I was able to comprehend was something like "I was thinking of the emotion of the song" or something like that.. but she was speaking so fast that I could not understand what she said..

grr.. walang japanese word processor dito sa laptop.. hindi ako makabanat ng hapon.. grr..

CSI FANS!! I HAVE NEWS!!!

for those of you who don't want to read this because you're thinking I'm going to spoil some episodes of season 9, rest assured I'm not going to do that.. what I am going to tell you is what is happening to the cast of CSI...

do you see that guy right there?? malamang ung nasa gitna diba?? kilala niyo ba yan?? if not, maybe you remember him in "The Matrix" as "Morpheus".. yup, that's Lawrence Fishburne.. so, anong meron sa kanya??

bagp ko sabihin kung bakit siya ang topic, explain ko muna ang mga nangyari sa season 8 and what will happen sometime in season 9..

si Sarah Sidle (played by Jorja Fox) ay umalis ng Las Vegas para magpahinga muna sa trabaho as CSI.. hindi naman daw sa ayaw na niya maging CSI, pero pagod na xa sa kakahabol sa mga patay which remind her of the ghosts of her own past.. in reality, pagod na si Jorja Fox sa CSI not because ayaw na niya sa series, but because she wants to do things outside of CSI, kaya xa umalis.. babalik-balik raw xa in a few episodes.. after all, hindi pa naman patay si Sarah.. :D

to the fans of Gary Dourdan (a.k.a. Warrick Brown), I'm sorry to say that you might not see him in the 9th season.. for those of you who don't know why, I'll let you find out for yourselves.. but from what I can tell, it's a goodbye for his character in the series..

finally, we have to talk about Gil Grissom (played by William Petersen).. he's decided he wants to be off-camera for now in CSI.. I forgot why, but let's just keep it as he wants to be seen less.. but because he's a major part of the series, they decided that he become a producer of the show, with appearances on certain episodes.. with the departure of Gil Grissom from the lab, you'd expect leaving Catherine, Nick, Greg, and the newbie all alone with everybody else in the lab right? wrong.. this is where Lawrence Fishburne comes in.. I wasn't able to catch what William Petersen was talking about when he stood on stage with Lawrence Fishburne at the 60th Emmy Awards, but what I did hear from Lawrence was something about being honored to become part of the family, and is looking forward to a future with CSI..

O_O

O_O

O_O

O_O

O_O

my guess is he's going to replace Gil Grissom in the series as the new supervisor.. he's too big of a star to be a simple "newbie" in the series.. or maybe Catherine gets the new supervisor position and has Lawrence as her second in command or something.. unfortunately Americans are so sexist that they might not want Catherine sitting in Grissom's chair, so I think Catherine gets to keep her position, whlie Lawrence Fishburne's character gets to be the new supervisor.. eitherway, I'm exctied to see Lawrence Fishburne become part of the CSI family.. hopefully he can fill the shoes that Grissom left behind.. XD

this is a late blog..

(sa mga marunong maghapon, please read this blog.. for those of you who don't understand japanese, translations are included)

dapat kahapon ko pa to ginawa eh.. kaso lang dahil natuwa ako sa panonood ng "60th Emmy Awards" ay inabot ako ng 12mn at tinamad na ako mag-net... antok na rin ako nun so wala rin epekto kahit ginanahan ako mag-net..

nung isang araw, niyayaya ako ni Tim na magkita-kita raw kaming mag-barkada.. sabi niya sa sabado daw kami magkita.. sabi ko "pass na lang muna ako.. may nihongo ako sa umaga eh.. hanggang hapon un".. edi aun, so sabado na.. exclude ko na ung nangyari sa nihongo kasi masyadong malayo na ang topic pag isasama ko ang mga nangyari dun na hindi kasama sa kwento..

anyway, sometime sa gitna ng klase sa nihongo, nalaman kong hihintayin pala ako nina Tim sa SM north kahit na dumating pa ako ng mga 6pm.. so sabi ko hintayin na lang ako.. hahaha! kaso lang, naubusan ako ng battery kaya nawalan ako ng contact sa kanila.. buti na lang may instinct ako na pumunta ng BK.. sakto papunta pa lang ako run, nasa may tapat na sila ng greenwich (na katabi ay BK).. so nagkita rin kami kahit hindi ko sila natext..

kumain kami sa food court, at bago umuwi ay dumaan muna kami ng comic alley.. as usual, maliit ang pwesto nila pero nandun naman ang karamihan ng mga hanap ng mga tao.. napabili ako ng isang necklace kasi masyadong mahal ang pocket-watch (clue na ang pocket watch if you're curious kung anong anime nang-galing ang necklace).. pero, habang nag-iisip kung bibilhin ko ung necklace or hinde, may nakita akong nakasabit sa may entrance ng comic alley..

they had these japanese words written on paper na nakasabit sa entrance nila.. bawat papel, iba ang nakasulat na greeting.. now I know based on the papers that I saw hanging on the entrance that the people there are self-studying japanese by watcing anime or j-dramas.. the results of their self-study are as follows:

いらっしゃいませ! [read as i-ra-shay-ma-se] - welcome!

ありがとう ごさいます! [read as a-ri-ga-to-o go-sa-i-ma-su] - thank you! (it's supposed to be go-za-i-ma-su, but that's an error that I make myself so I'm cool with it..)

こんいちわ! (read as kon-i-chi-wa) - this actually has no translation in my japanese word processor.. of course they meant to say hello as in "こんにちわ!" [read as kon-ni-chi-wa] which is the proper spelling and pronunciation of the greeting.. an error perhaps unavoidable if you aren't aware of the double consonant in the spelling..

まった きって ください! [read as mat-ta kit-te ku-da-sa-i] - literally translates to "waited, please cut".. O_O

yes, that's the biggest mistake that they made.. a sentence that absolutely made no sense to me.. of course I knew what they wanted to say.. it's supposed to be "また きて ください!" [read as ma-ta ki-te ku-da-sa-i], which translates to "please come again!"..

there were more papers on the entrance, but I don't remember the others, while the one near the cashier that says "かしん" [read as ka-shin] made no sense to me.. I tried my word processor, but it showed translations that also made no relation to the store or the cashier.. also, I don't know what the japanese word is for "cashier" so I can't comment on that..

I know, I know, pagbigyan ko na sila kasi mga nagbebenta lang sila ng mga anime parafernalia (tama ba spelling ko jan?), but part of their job requirement is "knowledge in anime is an advantage", and that most people I know who are knowledgeable in anime have been able to self-study on japanese quite well.. on the other hand, those people are usually those who are also able to go to anime conventions wearing their cosplay outfits.. so I guess there's a difference there..

ugh.. I'm lost in my own composition, so I'm stopping now before everything else makes even less sense.. @_@

and so I've decided to take mec again..

the same time, the same days, the same room, I'm guessing I'll get the same prof.. hahaha.. kasi naman eh.. walang pang-hapon na sched..

what made me do this? a few things..

1) may isa akong subject na t-th-s na 12- 1:30 ang klase.. being who I am, I can't take being late for my nihongo class especially now since I'm about to take my JLPT this December, so I decided not to take that subject since after reviewing my curriculum is a pre-requisite of a subject to be taken NEXT YEAR, so I have 3 more terms to fit it in my schedule.. thank God for SLHS that are expendable..

2) I have to face my fears don't I? and that includes facing the professor that gave me a failing mark.. yeah that mean's I'll pretty much know what he's going to say during class, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to attend any of his classes and just show up during exam dates..

3) si Claudio kasi eh.. pinipilit akong kunin na ang mec.. at least this time mas marami akong kilala sa classroom namin.. kasama na rin si Rolan eh.. so at least mas maluwag sa pakiramdam.. so far, I think 15 students pa lang kami sa section na un.. pero hindi pa naman tapos ang enrollment so baka dumagdag pa kami..

aun.. so, just like second year first term, ako ay may araw na may 6 HOURS BREAK.. tapos like second year second term, meron akong araw na 1 subject lang, tapos hapon pa xa.. and just like last term, may pang-gabi akong subject.. hopefully, things will go for the better..

nung bumagsak ako ng physics lab, bumawi ako with a grade of 1.75.. this term kaya magagawa ko un sa mec?? ang thermo at phy chem ko kaya kayanin kong gawing mas mataas sa 2.25 (dahil yan ang grade ko kay Sir A nung phy chem 1)?? seswertihin kaya ako pagdating ng final exam namin sa nihongo and sa JLPT?? abangan ang mga susunod na kabanata (hahaha! telenobela?)!!

ang hirap pala maging isang irreg...

ngayon ko lang naramdaman na irregular student na ako.. isipin niyo un.. last term dahil 1 unit lang ang bagsak ko, negligible ang effect niya sa curriculum ko, at ang resulta ay madaling habulin ang mga subjects ko.. pero ngayon iba na ang kaso..

3 units ang bagsak ko last term.. kaya ngayon, nagkakandarapa ako sa pagpili ng subjects na kukunin.. in the end, hindi ko muna kukunin ang mec 1.. walang kasing pasok na sched para sa akin, at ayaw ko ulit ng 6:00 - 7:30 na mec 1 dahil baka makita ko nanaman ang prof ko na un.. pero hindi pa finalized ang schedule ko.. dahil baka magkaroon bigla ng mec na pang-hapon, pwede ko namang kunin un in place of phy chem 2 lab since wala naman akong ibang subject na kailangan pasado rin ang lab para makuha ang subject na un..

haay.. buhay irreg oo.. ang hirap.. @_@

bago ko ilagay ang mga review ng mga movies.. update muna sa aking status sa mapua..

it's official.. manlilibre na ako sa mga dapat kong ilibre next term.. lumabas na kasi ang grades sa mymapua kaya nakita ko na ang lahat ng kasiyahan, kalungkutan, at kalokohan ng term na ito..

let's do this from lowest to highest.. para astig.. xD

Mec201 - Statics na lang para mabilis.. dahil ito ang inuna ko, sasabihin ko na, 5.00 ako.. tanggap ko ito kasi talaga namang mabababa ang quizzes ko.. akala ko lang mahahatak ng isa kong quiz na ang pakiramdam ko talaga ay pasado un.. pero hinde.. siguro dahil na rin sa nilagay ko sa isa sa mga plus points ay "think and act, act and fail, FAIL AND LEARN, LEARN AND SUCCEED".. oo sadya ang pagkabold ng mga yan.. pati na rin ang all caps.. para naman pumasok sa isip ko na kailangan ko na ng bagong motto in life.. pero okay na rin sa akin na bumagsak ako.. dahil tinuturuan na rin dapat ako ng leksyon na hindi lahat ng bagay ay kayang idaan sa swerte.. naubos na ata swerte ko after ng che cal 1.. so kailangan ko ulit mag-ipon for my future subjects.. buti na lang B.S. Aguilar ako next term.. ang kailangan ko na lang gawin ay wag isipin na "si sir A. naman yan eh, ipapasa niya ako".. hahaha.. as if naman mangyayari un.. pinag-hihirapan naman talaga ang mga grades kay sir A eh.. kahit pa kaya ko xa sa puksaan, ang kanyang 3 exams lang talaga ang katapat ko pagdating sa grades..

Math109 - Probability and Statistics.. akalain mo yan, bumait si sir Dela Cruz.. may nagtanong kasi dati "sir, ano po ang passing grade?".. may parang surprised look xa at sabay parang nakasmile na hindi ko maintindihan na sinasabing "sabihin ko na kaya?".. at sinabi nga niya.. "70% ang passing.. sabi ng math department, hindi ko sinabi un".. "eh sir ano passing sa inyo?" ang banat ng estudyanteng naunang magtanong.. "60, pwede pa maging 55".. akalin niyo un?.. THIS IS JEROME DELA CRUZ PEOPLE.. ANG TINATAWAG NILANG TERROR SA MATH DEPARTMENT.. so ano grade ko sa kanya, isang tumataginting na 3.00.. XD

happy na ako sa grade na yan.. pinag-hirapan ko ang grade na yan sa stat at marami pa akong natutunan sa stat.. ayaw ko na ng sure pass na prof.. nagiging relaxed ako masyado.. tignan niyo ang mec ko.. 5.00, sa 50% passing, na may sure 10% dahil lang sa formal every first meeting of the week..

CHE230 - Che Cal 3 na lang.. hay naku.. after ko magyabang na 95/100 ako sa cement, binawian ako ng 30/100 sa last quiz.. tuloy.. ang naging final grade ko ay 2.50.. siguro kung talagang naintindihan ko lang talaga ung lecture niya na un, at kung tama ang ginawa ko sa uera at sa sodium hydroxide reaction, baka 2.25 pa ako.. hahaha.. asa naman.. pero baka lang.. anung malay ko.. basta ang alam ko pasado ako.. next term, CPI na!!

CHM275L - physical chemistry 1 lab.. hay naku.. after ko makita ang mga pics na kinuha ni rumwald na answer key raw ng finals namin, natuwa ako at nakuha ko ang more than 50% ng finals.. ibig sabihin, hindi ako 7.00 sa lab.. XD nung nagsabi kanina si dannah na 2.00 na raw xa sa lab, at considering na saktong 50% ang nakuha niyang tamang sagot, naisip ko na baka pwede pa ako umabot ng 1.75.. un pala hinde.. 2.00 rin ako.. sayang.. akala ko matutuwa ako sa lab na ito.. oh well.. lumalapit na rin sa dati kong average sa lab.. kaso lang gen chem pa un so asa namang makukuha ko ulit ang average na ganun..

PHY140L - hay salamat! graduate na rin ako ng physics! base sa grado kong ito, either sakto lang ang nakuha kong score sa final exam na around 70% ang passing para makuha ang grade ko dito, or mataas talaga xa pero dahil 20% lang ang kayang ibigay ng finals ay hanggang dun lang talaga inabot ang grade ko.. sana sa mec ganito rin ang grade ko next term.. after ko makakuha ng 5.00 last term mula kay Baun.. 1.75 naman ako kay sir Dele.. hahaha!! kung ano ang grade ko sa kanya nung xa ang prof ko sa lec nung 50% pa ang passing ng physics, yun din ang grade ko sa lab na 70% naman ang passing.. siguro kung 50% un, 1.25 ako.. LOL.. asa.. pero okay na yan.. it proves na alam ko naman talaga ang nangyayari sa lab.. nayayari lang talaga ako sa mga quizzes kay sir Baun..

EE072 - circuits na lang para mabilis.. unahin ko muna ang prof, akalain mo un, tinupad niya usapan namin.. akala ko hindi ko na un makukuha kasi gagawin pang basis ay ang aming mga quizzes na parang seatwork lang kung pinakita mo ito sa ibang section.. tapos ang aming take home na madali lang dapat pero 1 lang ang nakakuha ng tama sa problem solving.. in the end.. tinupad niya pa rin ang usapan namin..

tawa kayo ha.. sira ulo ang prof ko rito eh.. isipin niyo un, 2 na nga lang ang klase niya, tapos bihira pa niya kami pasukan (Kevin Dagbay of the EE dept).. pero unlike Kevin, marunong xa tumupad ng usapan.. kaya ang grade ko sa kanya? ang aking pinaka-unang may epekto sa aking average na 1.00... LOL!!!

total units taken this term: 14
total units passed: 11
average for the term: 2.70

not bad for someone who got a 5 from a 3 unit course.. hahaha!!

next term, bawal ako bumagsak! papasa ako ng thermo! papasa ako ng phy chem 2! papasa ako ng CPI! papasa ako ng mec! at papasa ako ng eco! iiwanan ko na lang muna siguro ang phy chem 2 lab.. sabayan ko na lang si Sam or ung mga BCC pagdating ng panahon.. xD

sabi ng latest kong napanood na j-drama, w = lol.. so ito ang title ng blog ko.. "w"

wag niyo pansinin ung quotation mark.. hindi yan kasama sa title ng blog na ito.. w lang talaga ang title nito.. bakit? kasi gusto kong title sana ay lol.. pero para maiba, w na lang.. :D

wala lang.. natutuwa lang ako sa nakita ko kanina.. may 2 sulat na dumating sa bahay.. parehas galing sa prudential, parehas naka-address sa dad ko.. dahil mabait (daw) akong bata, nag-paalam muna ako sa dad ko kung pwede kong buksan ang sulat.. sa kanya naka-address eh.. so dapat siya ang magsasabi kung pwede kong buksan.. tinext ko xa mga 4pm un..

10pm na xa nagreply.. siguro kasi walang reception sa kung saan man xa ngayon sa Nepal, or baka dahil pinatay niya ung fon niya, or whatever, basta 10pm pa xa nagreply.. pero bago pa xa nagreply, nabuksan ko na ung mail niya kasi inisip ko baka nandun ung S.A.S. (scholar's admissions slip) ko.. tsamba, sabi ng dad ko okay lang daw buksan ko basta sabihan lang daw mom ko kung ano laman..

ung una kong nabuksan, ang sabi binayaran na raw ng prudential ang kailangan nilang bayaran for this term, kaya dapat raw bayaran namin ang share namin.. hindi ko na un pinapansin kasi umpisa pa lang ng term binabayaran ko na un.. refund na lang ang nakukuha namin mula sa prudential kasi dapat 100% scholar (daw) ako (minus mga failed subjects)...

ung isa, ang laman ay ang S.A.S. ko.. so ginupit ko na xa at tinago para sa susunod na pagpunta ko ng mapua, dala ko na xa..

so ano ang point ng blog na ito?? simple lang.. next term will be the 10th term na mag-aaral ako sa mapua.. for the past 9 terms, either pumunta ako ng prudential mismo para makuha ang aking S.A.S., or nagsusulat na lang ako dun sa master list ng OVPSA na isa akong prudential scholar.. dapat kasi, pinapadala sa mail ang S.A.S... the first 8 terms kasi, lumang address namin ang nasa record ng prudential kaya dun nila pinapadala siguro.. last term, ang dumating lang na sulat ay ang sulat na nagsasabing may utang pa raw kami sa maua na binayaran na namin nung umpisa ng term.. kaya ngayon, first time kong makatanggap ng S.A.S... na dapat pinapadala BAGO MATAPOS ANG FINALS WEEK.. EH KAILAN LANG DUMATING ANG MGA SULAT? KANINANG UMAGA.. @_@

so, pag gagawa na ako ng sched ko for the next term, tsaka ko na ipapakita ang S.A.S. ko sa OVPSA.. bale, late nanaman ako magbabayad kasi 1 araw bago maprocess ng computers ang S.A.S... hahaha.. as of this term, 4 units na ang bagsak ko.. plus 1 unit LFD, mahigit 5 units ang total nun.. sana maputol na ang series next term.. kasi pag ako ay bumagsak ulit next term, hihirit talaga ako sa parents ko ng 1 term pahinga..

I passed one, but failed another...

haay... kung saan ka naman sinuwerte sa prof, dun ka pa minalas na subject...

katitingin ko lang sa aking online curriculum sa mapua.. nagulat ako sa nakita ko..

passed ang aking prob stat... akalain mo nga naman, tinotoo ata ni sir jerome ang kanyang 60% passing grade..

pero ang mec ko, ibang usapan.. not taken ang nakalagay sa kanya.. ibig sabihin, bumagsak ako kahit pa 50% ang passing namin sa kanya..

kung sabagay, tanggap ko un.. marami akong mabababang quiz sa kanya, tapos hindi pa kumpleto lahat ng assignments ko sa kanya..

haay.. oh well.. looks like delayed ako sa dynamics.. sayang.. excited pa naman ako sa mga gumagalaw na forces.. mas natutuwa ako dun kaysa sa hindi gumagalaw eh.. weird noh? dun pa ako nadadalian eh mas mahirap dapat un..

ang physics lab ko naman, pasado na ako kasi bago pa kami nag-finals, nakita ko na ang aking above 70% average.. kaya ibig sabihin, kahit hindi ako nag-finals nung araw na un, 3.00 na ako sa physics lab..

ung EE ko rin nauna ko nang nakitang taken.. bahala na kung ano ang grade ko run.. basta alam ko pasado na ako run..

haay.. hindi na negligible ang aking bagsak.. 3 units na xa eh.. sana hatakin ng iba ko pang subjects ang 5.00 na yan..

oh well, ibig sabihin lang niyan, pagkakuha ko ng mec 1 next term, hindi na ako babagsak.. hahaha!! masteral ko na un eh.. mahirap nang maging doctorate dun.. baka tigilan ko pa ang aking engineering degree at maging chem na lang.. @_@ sayang nga lang ang mga ChE subjects ko (che cals 1 - 3, and soon to come na thermo)... pero hinde! hindi ako susuko sa mec!! tae! mec lang yan! hindi ibig sabihin na bagsak ako sa mec ay hindi na ako pwede maging engineer, ibig sabihin lang nun ay hindi ko lang talaga xa naintindihan this term.. siguro dahil na rin sa panget na sked na pang-gabi..

hay naku.. and to think katatapos ko lang manood ng j-drama.. nasira bigla ang momentum ko.. @_@

oh well.. mamaya pagkagising aral na ng nihongo.. may midterms pa ako sa sabado..

SA WAKAS!! TAPOS NA RIN ANG HELL WEEK KO!!!

although may isa pa akong exam this saturday sa Nihongo, it's not really as big as my current studies sa mapua.. YES I have a few minor subjects like Mec 1.. pero un ang isa sa mga naging feeling ko delikado kasi mahirap ang mga exams ng prof ko kasi matrabaho xa magpaquiz.. tapos, kung mali ka sa umpisa, apektado ang buong calculations na gagawin mo after..

let's start with sunday.. pre-finals ko un sa mec.. and the only review I made was for method of joint kasi un ang isa sa mga back-homeworks ko.. hindi ko inaral ung friction kasi hindi niya un tinuro, at nakalimutan ko aralin ang mga inertia formulas kasi nasa isip ko na aaralin ko xa prior to the exam kasi alam ko naman kung paano xa gagamitin.. I enjoyed the additional points questions.. ung iba ko ngang klasmates un nga lang "DAW" ang inunang sagutan eh..

monday, final exam ko sa stat.. maayos din ang naging finals ko dun considering na hindi naman talaga xa mukhang finals.. actually parang lang akong nag-quiz.. only difference is I have 12 problems instead of 10.. and each problem may differ in weight from another.. bakit ko nasabing parang lang akong nag-quiz?? kasi kaya naman talaga tapusin ung finals na un eh.. kulang lang ang 2 hours para sa mga un.. matrabaho kasi ung iba.. tapos kinonsider ko rin ung mga thoughts ko na "ba't parang mali ang sagot ko?".. may advantage talaga pag ang prof mo ang gumagawa ng mga final exam.. nasasanay ka sa style niya.. hahaha!!

tuesday.. presentation namin sa Che Cal sa aming case study.. monday ng umaga pa lang namin inumpisahan ang pag-gawa ng case study namin kasi nung binasa ko ung chapter namin, madali lang talaga ang process.. mahaba lang xa tignan kasi 16 steps para matapos ang process from the first stream of the system to the last exit stream.. un nga lang, mga gustong maghanap sa net ang mga kasama ko so kinailangan namin magbiglaang overnight dito sa bahay.. buti wala parents ko.. otherwise hindi ako papayag na biglaan ang overnight..

binabati ko si angelina at si yaya.. oo ang mga tauhan sa bubble gang ng spoiled brat.. dahil sa kanila, nadelay ang aming pag-gawa ng case study ng mga 2 hours dahil ayaw nilang tigilan si angelina at yaya sa youtube.. ayan tuloy.. haggard hanggang sa pagpresent..

hindi maxado nagtanong si sir Medarlo.. kung tutuusin, parang nakinig lang xa sa mga gusto naming sabihin.. ang basis niya lang ata ng grades namin para dun ay ang written report.. kung tutuusin, maraming sinabing mali ang mga groupmates ko nung nagsasalita sila sa harap.. pero hindi ko kayang mag-react kasi masisira ang momentum nila at baka mawala sila sa sinasabi nila..

wednesday - finals ko sa mec, at deadline ng aking TAKE HOME FINAL EXAM sa EE.. inagahan ko pumasok KANINA para umpisahan ang take home exam na binigay nung SABADO... according to my classmate, mali daw ang sagot namin sa calculations portion ng exam (which proves na hindi kaming lahat ay nagkokopyahan..).. isa lang daw ang nakakuha ng tamang sagot.. in fairness to us, hindi niya naman talaga tinuro ung lecture na un.. pero okay lang kasi mas mabigat ata ung weight ng second part ng exam..

ung sa mec naman.. multiple choice.. pero may 5th option kang "none of the above" kaya hindi mo masasabing madali lang manghula sa exam na un.. walang binigay ang prof ko na topic na nahirapan kaming lahat.. ang pinaka-topic na ng final exam ay moment, centroids, at summation of forces.. un ang generalized topics ng final exam.. lahat yan, naintindihan ko.. hindi nga lang ako sure sa iba kong sagot kasi parang mali.. pero hindi ko makita ang mali sa calculations ko so tinuloy ko pa rin.. wala nang additional points dito.. pero feeling ko naman tama ang mga ginagawa ko so okay lang ako..

and so that concludes my hell week for this term in mapua.. next is my midterm sa nihongo and my main objective is to be the highest scorer.. so, how will I prepare for the midterms?

1) PRACTICE WRITING KANJI
2) review sentence patterns from E1 up to Chapter 25
3) read vocabs from E1 up to chapter 25
4) listen to japanese songs for additional vocab
5) watch anime in nihongo for faster pick-up in listening comprehension

hahaha!! ang problema jan, mahuhuli pa ata ang #1.. :D

oh well, kaya yan.. hindi ako magpapatalo this sem sa nihongo! XD

hu the hell is sending me messages?!?!

lately, I've been receiving messages sa aking sun phone.. people who I don't know have been texting me and all are claiming that I was the one who usually texted them first..

amp.. ni hindi nga ata nila ginagamit ung real name nila eh.. malay ko ba kung sino un.. suplado pa naman ako kung hindi ko kilala ung nagtext sa akin.. :D

sometimes pa nga tinatawagan pa ako eh.. ewan ko run sa kanila.. hindi ko sila kilala, so hindi ko sasagutin mga tawag nila..

oh well.. at least it's better than the taglish songs..

kahapon sa bus, habang nananahimik akong naka-upo at nakikinig ng radyo ng bus kahit na ayaw ko minsan ang mga kanta.. narinig ko nanaman ang isa sa mga kumakanta ng mga latest na national anthem ng Pilipinas na si David Cook... kaso lang, hindi niya mga kanta ang narinig ko kahapon..

nakarinig ako ng familiar na rhythm ng kanta na naisip ko kaagad na "uy! bubbly..".. pero nagulat ako at ang narinig kong boses ay kay David Cook! O_O

hindi pa nga ganun kaluma ang kanta ginawan na rin niya ng sarili niyang version ung kanta.. actually ang nagbago lang naman ay ang kumanta, pero everything else in the song remained the same..

ampness.. hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako at si David ang kumanta, or mababanas kasi hindi bagay sa kanya ung kanta.. O_O

pag-uwi ko naman, habang nanonood ng t.v., naglilipat ako ng channels habang advertisements pa ang nakikita ko sa channel na pinapanood ko.. napadpad ako sa Disney Channel at nakarinig ako ng "We Rock!".. nung nag-register sa akin ung lyrics, binalikan ko ang Disney channel at nagulat ako sa nakita ko..

No, hindi ko nakita si David Cook.. pero gaya ng sinabi nina ate Hannah and ate Diana (Hi to you both!), Disney might make an asian version of the songs in Camp Rock.. and were they damn right..

una kong ikinagulat na nagkatotoo ang sinabi nilang Asian version ng kanta ng Camp Rock.. but what caught my attention was the lyrics.. hindi ko maintindihan!! alam niyo ba kung bakit? simple.. they changed the language.. I'm not sure pero the singers looked like Chinese.. so my assumption is that they made a chinese version of the song.. @_@

in fairness to language barrier, they made it sound the same.. to the point na ang naiintindihan ko na lang ay "We Rock! Camp Rock!".. other than that, everything was jibberish..

oh well.. at least it's better than the taglish songs.. :D

guys, suggestion lang..

lagay kayo dito ng mga updates tungkol sa TaTaK para naman ma-update din kaming mga alumni.. pati na rin ang mga former advisers.. XD

the bus home take 2..

today (as of the beginning of this blog) is Monday.. my first class is at 4:30 in the afternoon, and I'm supposed to wear a polo with matching slacks for Mec 1 at 6pm.. I remembered it was monday, and that my first class was at 4:30.. but what I forgot was the polo thing.. so I ended up being one of the few students in the class who was not wearing a polo today.. during the Mec class (which was actually a quiz), rain started to fall very hard over mapua.. at first, I thought that it would disappear after a few minutes, but when lightning and thunder with strong winds were observed, I knew it was going to be a rough time going home..

the class ended, and still the rain was pouring hard.. Edgie and I had to wait a while for the rain to weaken a bit, but we left mapua with rain still pouring.. when we reached the gate of mapua, as we expected there was a river in front of us.. but thank God it wasn't really that deep.. at the corner which leads to the alleyway towards the "cantunan", the water level wasnt' that high so we could still pass through.. what caught us off-guard was the flood at the underpass.. @_@.. the water from the lake of city hall reached up to the sidewalk leading to the underpass, and the vendors and barkers already prepared the make-shift bridge and was holding out a basin with coins (for donations).. once we were able to cross the make-shift bridge, the underpass walls were occupied by squatters who used the underpass as a shelter from the heavy rains and floods.. once we got to the other side of the underpass, the other side of the lake caught us by surprise again, which made us cross the gates of city hall, and pass by the its side towards SM manila since the road that leads to the LRT Central Station and University of Manila transformed into a river..

once we got to the back of city hall, another river caught us by surprise, and Edgie decided to take another route going to the LRT.. me? I decided to go around city hall and get a ride where the vehicles usually stop.. as it turns out, there wasn't much PUV's available that headed to fairview, so I ended up waiting for about 30 minutes in the pouring rain with a water mark nearing my knees on my pants.. when a bus finally passed that wasn't really full, I decided to take it even if it wasn't air-conditioned.. as long as it could get me home asap..

I entered at the front side of the bus (the bus was a 2-door bus), and stood near the first row of seats since it was already standing room.. somewhere along the way, I moved to the 3rd row since more people entered the bus.. once the bus crossed the bridge and was nearing Quiapo, it began to move slowly as to prevent splashing water to the innocently standing people whom are stranded because of the rain.. while the driver was pushing the breaks, the bus began to vibrate in such a way that I thought if it continued like that for another 30 minutes, my pants would be dried.. XD

skipping the long bus ride, I got of the bus from the middle doors since that is where I eventually found myself standing close to.. I got home at around 9:50.. just in time to catch House.. XD

haaay.. kakapagod mag-english!! hindi ko nga rin alam kung bakit english ko ginawa ang blog na ito eh.. basta.. sana hindi mawalan ng pasok bukas.. baka kung ano ang hindi ko magawa dahil lang nawalan ng pasok.. @_@

Never judge the day by the weather..

warning: isang mahabang nobela ang mababasa mo rito.. baka mahilo ka pa kasi nag-umpisa ako ng english, tapos biglang tagalog sa may gitna hanggang sa dulo...

ang lahat ng nakasaad sa blog na ito ay nag-umpisa ng Sept. 6, 2008.. at natapos ng Sept. 7, 2008..

***
"Never judge the day by the weather".. At least, that's what I saw in a picture frame with this ancient hawaiian proverbs... but in my case, this did not apply to me last saturday..

what was supposed to be another half-day of photography with Rodney turned to a tekken-nba filled half-day at SM Manila.. we were supposed to meet at 9am at Mcdonalds Intramuros, but thanks to a certain someone who needed help with Che Cal 2, I told Rodney to meet me a bit later.. since that someone didn't bring any of the tables needed for energy balances, I only used whatever knowledge I had left in me as well as a photocopy of his classmates notes (Hi Bryan!)..

because of the dark clouds and high possibility of rain, Rodney and I decided to go to SM Manila and take pictures there.. but somewhere along the way we got attracted to Quantum because Rodney wanted to try Tekken 6.. but because of the large number of addicts watching, we decided to play the Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection instead.. It was fun watching.. but when a player wasn't using Asuka Kazama right I suddenly had the urge to play.. sadly, I failed to win the race to 3 wins.. but what I did realize when I was playing was that the joystick was broken (I think).. anyway, after finishing our tokens, we decided to play at Circuit City for more Tekken fun.. only this time it would only be the two of us (sa mga mabilis mag-isip, kung ayaw mo ng 2, sige.. 4 kami.. go figure..)...

after playing Tekken and NBA, it was almost time for my Nihongo class, so we parted ways at Morayta since Rodney still had classes later in the afternoon at UST.. after nihongo, I went back to Mapua because that's where I was supposed to meet the rest of the CCE's who were going to Janine's Debut..

dahil pagod na ako mag-english, tagalog naman.. dito na tumuloy ang kamalasan ng araw ko.. habang nasa fx, natataranta kami kasi hindi namin alam kung saan bababa.. ang naaalala lang namin ay sa shopwise kami bababa.. pero hindi namin alam kung ano ang tawag sa lugar sa shopwise.. so nagtext pa kami ng mga tao para lang malamang ang sasabihin namin sa driver ay "shopwise".. so nung sinabi na sa amin kung magkano ang isa papuntang shopwise, dinukot ko wallet ko na katabi ang cellphone kong walang battery.. pagbalik ko ng wallet ko, napansin kong wala sa bulsa ang cellphone ko.. so kinapa ko sa likod ko, at nalaman kong nasa likod ko xa.. pero biglang nahulog.. ang nasa isip ko "baka nahulog na xa sa ilalim ng upuan".. so hinintay ko na lang bumaba ung katabi ko bago ko tinignan sa ilalim ng upuan mismo kung nasaan ang cp ko.. nasa likod nga pala kami ng fx btw..

pagbaba ng katabi ko somewhere after ng airport, bumaba ako para tignan kung nasaan ang cp ko.. sa ikinagulat ko, wala sa ilalim ang cp ko.. tapos nakita ko na may butas ang fx sa may gulong.. kinain na kasi ng kalawang ang bakal doon, at ang tanging proteksyon ng mga tao sa gulong ay ang mud guard ng gulong na nakakabit sa kotse.. nung tumulong na ang driver para mag-hanap, nakita niya ang butas at nasabi niyang baka nahulog na un sa butas habang pumapasada.. eh huli kong naramdaman ang cp ko, nasa may roxas blvd pa kami nun.. T_T.. bye bye cp..

rewind muna tau.. habang hinihintay ang mga kasama kong papuntang Sucat para sa debut ni Janine.. nasa physics faculty room ako.. sinamahan ko si claudio doon kasi nakita ko siyang dumaan mula sa N313.. ako naman, galing ng consultation room ng Che-Chm department para kunin ang mga quizzes namin sa Che Cal mula sa pigeon hole.. anyway, back to the physics faculty room.. dun namatay ang phone ko, pero dahil naisip kong wala naman akong kausap sa sun bukod sa nanay ko at kapatid ko, at dahil marami akong kailangang kausapin sa globe, pinagpalit ko ang globe sim ko sa sun sim ko.. kasi ang isa kong fone kahit paano may battery pa.. kaya ang nawala sa akin ay contacts ko sa globe dahil nasa phone memory ko lahat, mga jokes, quotes, and saved messages magmula nung nakuha ko ang phone na un, ang P100 worth of games na kinuha ko sa gprs, at higit sa lahat, ang mga pics na pinag-kukuha ko since nakuha ko ang phone na un.. kasama na sa pics na un ang "mga huling araw sa dating tambayan ng ChemSoc"... T_T

back to the fx, na-bad trip na ako kasi hindi ko na makukuha ang fone ko.. so dinaan ko na lang sa mga biro ang badtrip ko.. nung nakita ko na ang SM Sucat, kinuha ko na ang neck tie ko at nilagay ko na sa sarili ko para naman mawala ang aking bagot.. nagpatulong pa si Edgie kasi hindi pa rin siya marunong kahit na nakaka-dalawang araw na kami sa Mec na kailangan ng necktie...

pagdating namin sa Max's Sucat.. natuwa ako kasi ang laki pala niya.. hindi siya tulad ng ibang mga Restaurant na makikita mo sa Manila kasi doon, may garden pa silang kasama and matching parking lot.. as in pwede ka pa ngang magpa-reception ng kasal doon sa laki ng pwesto nila..

8:15 na kami nakarating sa Max's.. akala namin late na kami.. pagdating namin dun, wala pang tao sa loob ng reception room, at onti pa lang ang mga taong dumating.. around 8:45 na ata dumating ang debutant pero hindi pa siya bihis nun.. so nadelay ang 8pm na debut.. nagstart na nga kami halos 10pm na nga ata eh.. nagsasabi na nga ako ng "ang internal energy ko bumababa" and "nagagalit na si Nathaniel".. xD

mga 1:30AM na ata natapos ang buong program.. ung after party dance, hindi ko na pinagtripan kasi sobrang aga na.. nakisabay ako kay Arvin Cudanin kasi xa ang kakilala ko sa HSM na alam kong pwede akong ampunin para sa gabi.. ayaw ko sana kina janine kasi baka puro babae lang ang makita ko run.. un pala may kasama naman palang mga lalake na ChE.. nung nalaman ko na, xur na ako kay Arvin kaya di na ako nakisama pa..

walang fx na dumadaan.. so nag jeep na lang kami papuntang baclaran.. somewhere along the way.. may 6 na sumakay.. isa sa kanila, lasing ng sobra.. buti ung kasama niyang babae hinde.. pero nakakatakot parin kasi kung anu anu ang pinagsasabi.. buti na lang bumaba sila bago mag-airport.. hindi ko ata kakayanin kung hanggang baclaran ko sila kasabay..

pagdating namin ng baclaran.. walang diretso ng espana.. so sumakay kami ng MCU at bumaba ng city hall.. pagdating sa city hall, akala namin wala na talagang dadaan ng espana kasi lahat ng dumadaan MCU.. sakto dumaan fairview.. pwede na sana akong umuwi! kaso lang, wala akong matutulugan kasi nagsabi ako na hindi ako matutulog sa bahay.. hahaha!

aun, bago tumuloy kina Arvin, bumili kami ng beer sa mini stop.. pamparelax lang sa haba ng araw.. tapos tulog.. nagising na kami mga 10am na.. buti na lang mabilis lang ang biyahe.. mga 10:40 ata nasa bahay na ako..

ngunit, hindi pa tapos ang kamalasan ko.. sarado ang bahay.. wala ang susi sa kung saan man ito dati tinatago pag umaalis ang mga tao.. so tumambay ako sa likod ng bahay kasi may upuan doon.. mga 12:30, nagutom ako, so pumunta ako ng jollibee.. paglabas ko ng bahay, lumabas ung kapitbahay namin at sinabing iniwan daw sa kanya ang susi ng bahay.. @_@.. aun, nakapasok na rin after ko bumili sa jollibee.. nasa mood ako mag-burger eh.. jollibee na lang kasi gusto ko subukan ung cheesy bacon mushroom.. ang akin lang, siguro kung mas maaga ko kinain ung burger, mas masarap un.. kasi hindi xa as expected na sarap eh.. mas gusto ko pa nga ung cheese and mushroom burger ng BK eh..

aun.. ngayon, tinapos ko na rin ang blog na ito.. dapat mga 6pm pa to lumabas.. eh ang daming factors na nangyari after ko gumamit ng pc.. so ngayon ko pa lang siya ipopost.. hahaha!! hanggang sa muli!! kung binabasa mo pa rin toh, masipag kang tao.. XD

and so, hell week begins again..

this is probably the last week that I'll be able to breathe normally.. by monday next week, I'll be swamped with exams, lectures, exams, exams, more exams, review, exams, final exams, oh, and did I mention exams??

let's start of with monday next week.. although I only have two classes every monday, the first subject is probability and statistics, and so far, my grade is dependent on my third quiz which we just had yesterday (it's 12:18 as of this sentence).. although I'm hoping for a bonus quiz 4, I still want a high score on my third quiz..

next comes mechanics.. I just realized that I alreay have 10% of my grade.. the remaining percentage neccessary is dependent on my late homeworks and result of the remaining 3 quizzes, 1 pre-final exam, and of course, the final exam.. there's also this rumor that he's only strict on the grading system when it comes to the CE, ME or Archi students.. other fields of engineering don't really require mechanics (such as ChE), but is essential for the board exam, so he only wants to make sure that we learn what we need to learn..

next item on the list is elementary EE.. no comment.. XD.. this is one subject I could afford to be absent on the days of the lecture, and still end up with a passing grade.. but what I'm after is the additional 5% that we get for complete attendance (which is something our professor actually lacks).. still, it's an easy 1.** grade so no pressure here..

next item on the list is Che Cal 3.. thanks to my 95% score on the third quiz, I've already attained a safe average for the subject.. all I need to do now is to make sure that we do a great job at the case study, and then I pass.. XD

next up, Physics 4 lab.. FINALLY!! I WILL GRADUATE FROM THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT!! I'm sure of that since three of the five lab reports that was returned shows that I was the highest in the section because it was taken for portfolio purposes, and since my quiz booklet was also taken (I'm assuming I was also highest there, even if it was only 60%).. I feel confident with this subject as well..

next item on the list, is Phy Chem Lab.. I still need to work on the final proposal of the experimental design, but that can be done within the next week.. the only thing I have to worry about is the final exam.. why is that? because if I do not get at least 50% in the final exam, even if I already obtained a passing grade without the final exam, I would receive a grade of 7.00 (which is equivalent to "incomplete").. hence, I would be required to re-take the subject next term, and pass the final exam before I can take Phy Chem 2 lec and lab..

finally, we have my Nihongo class.. although the midterm exam for nihongo might not fall on the 20th, there is still the pressure I'm putting on myself which is to be the top student.. hahaha!! I failed to do that last sem.. so I'm going to have to do better this sem.. what bothers me in this subject is mostly on the kanji.. sentence patterns are easier to analyze than memorizing how to write the Kanji (at least for me).. I can read kanji, that's not a problem.. my problem is if they ask me to write the kanji, my brain sometimes forgets which kanji to write.. so that would be my major problem in the exams..

oh yeah.. if you're wondering about the straight english blog, I'm blaming Tarah since before I wrote this, I read her blog and now my brain is stuck in english mode.. xD

nakakatuwa talaga ang Filipino language.. XD

minsan nagbabasa ako ng bond sa pilot.. si Jasper Olivete na palagi na lang nagpapa-alam kay kuya renz na magsusulat xa ay naglagay ng kung anu-ano para lang may masulat xa..

ngayon, walang kinalaman ang bond dito sa post na ito.. dahil nakita ko ang joke sa isang issue ng Libre.. natuwa naman ako sa joke kasi tama nga naman ung sinabi ng Amerikano.. ganito kasi un.. (paraphrased nga pala ito ha..)

*
sumakay ako ng elevator papuntang ground floor sa isang hotel. pagpasok ko ng elevator, may amerikanong nasa loob. pumasok lang ako at hindi kami nag-usap. bigla na lang bumukas ang pinto. may isang lalake na nasa harap namin.

Guy: bababa ba?
ako: bababa..




Amerikano: Are you guys aliens?


hahaha!! wala lang.. natuwa lang talaga ako nung nabasa ko ung banat ng Amerikano.. dun ko lang nagets ung joke.. XD

I hate the writer's strike last year...

alam niyo ba un? ung writer's strike sa US sometime last year? ang nangyari kasi was, there was this union of writers who wanted something done with the credits of the dvd copies of certain american shows.. whether drama, action, sci fi, even the late night talk show writers were affected.. the result of the writer's strike can be observed from my favorite tv shows (namely Heroes, Chuck and Numb3rs).. yup.. pati Numb3rs nadamay..

ang Heroes kasi, season 2 na nung time na un.. and the result of the season was only 11 episodes of "bitin" moments.. andun na lahat eh! the healing of Sylar, the introduction of new heroes, the return of Hiro to the present, lahat na inasahan nung season 1 binitin sa season 2.. ibabawi na lang ata nila sa season 3.. at least for their case, interesting ang ginawa nila kasi season 3 is about meeting the "villains"...

Chuck was affected because it only aired 13 episodes.. and what sucks most about it was that hindi halatang season ender ang episode 13.. it just seemed like an ordinary episode for chuck.. there was nothing thrilling about the ending.. parang bula.. bigla na lang tinapos..

Numb3rs ako pinaka-naasar.. sa first half ng latest season, hindi halatang affected siya ng strike.. but during the last two episodes of the season, I noticed na mejo iba na ang flow ng kwento.. it wasn't the same as before na natutuwa ako sa mga analysis ni Charlie, which is followed by the FBI's arrest of the criminals.. hindi eh.. I could see na there was something different during that episode.. and then, they did it.. they made things too personal for Charlie.. to the point that he is no longer allowed to consult for the FBI, NSA, CIA, or any other agency that needs a high ranked clearance in order to keep their secrets (yes I'm spoiling what happened in the last episode)...

nung ginawa nila yan sa Numb3rs, hindi talaga ako natuwa.. some of you maybe sinasabi "xet! ano na ang mangyayari kay Charlie?!?!".. my point exactly.. the fact that Charlie is allowed to consult for these agencies gives Numb3rs its thrill in watching.. I don't care about his relationship with Amida, or his brotherly conflicts with Don.. what I care about is how he approaches the questions presented to him and creatively find mathematical ways of solving the case.. that's what I look forward to everytime I watch Numb3rs.. and thanks to the new writers, they practically said "the next season will be our last season" with that season ender..



(tama na toh.. back to lab reports nanaman.. :D)
