So much for a Happy New Year..

I knew I should have blogged about it earlier.. maybe I would have stopped it.. yeah I know, blogging won't stop anything unless it's read, but if you believe in string theory, and that everything is connected, then maybe I by blogging it earlier, I could have stopped it from happening..

a few days after my birthday, one of our dogs died.. for those of you who've been to our house, it's the big black one that died on Dec. 9, 2009.. at that time, I already wanted to blog about his death, but chose not to because I still had a mission.. a few days later, our rabbit followed our black lab, for that one I had little feelings for because it didn't want much human attention anyway.. all it ever did was eat whatever greens we couldn't (like the top layer from a head of lettuce)..

about an hour ago, our last dog died.. for this dog, I felt the saddest, because she was more than a dog for me in this house.. I guess you could say that whenever I got lonely, she was there to give me company.. back when she was just a puppy, during late nights, while watching tv, I'd let her in to our living room and she'd run inside and jump on our bean bag.. she enjoys sleeping on that bean bag, although I don't know why.. when she got bigger, we wouldn't let her on the bean bag anymore because she might poke a hole using her nails.. so we limited her from entering the house, but if she did, she'd just stay on the floor instead..

now, we're stuck with a tick infestation, a detergent-water-bleach solution filled with dying ticks, and an empty feeling in our heart because we lost another dog..

JASMS BATCH 2006: The Final Plan. Final Plan for batch 2006 christmas party cum mini reunion (By Dillian Escandor)

Due to some requests from different people, and as a result of an informal survey, we have decided to move the date of our Christmas Party cum batch reunion on the 21st of December. Some details were also changed to accommodate some people who will be having difficulties with bringing food and beverages.

New Details/Requirements:

When: December 21 (monday); 6pm onwards.

Why: Batch Christmas party cum Mini reunion

Where: Julius' House

_____________________________________________________

Food:

We are requiring that you bring food (not donuts) that can feed 7 people. Should you not bring, you can contribute a paltry amount of 350. Failure to bring food or to pay the amount is tantamount to being barred from the event. NO FOOD or 350, NO ENTRY

We are also requesting that you inform us (Malaya or Cris or Julius or the author of the note) the kind of dish or dishes and kind of beverage (non alcoholic or alcohol) that you will bring. The purpose is to prevent us to have the same kind of dish and or beverage (puro andoks or puro coke).

Tagging along non batchmates/Jasms graduate):

We have decided that anyone can tag along a non-Jasms graduate/batchmate as long as you limit it to a maximum number of two (2) individuals. You should also bring additional food for them.

Maraming Salamat talaga sa lahat ng mga bumati sa akin ngaung araw na ito..

at kay Sir A na nagbigay ng exam na madali sana kung tama lang ang pagkabasa ko sa given.. T_T

yes people, I still use multiply..

despite having a facebook account, I still find it more fulfilling to write my blogs here in multiply.. hahaha

anyway, for those of you who know my internet activity, you know I'm online almost everyday.. and for those of you who know my schedule, you know I have a schedule fit for a nocturnal creature.. which also means that I am more nocturnal now than I was before..

included in being a nocturnal person is having to come home every night where the buses are rarely full, and less savings because of instances that cause me to eat dinner out.. one good thing about having to come home every night is that I get to see the night sky..

I mean sure, there were times that the sky was pouring rain due to ondoy, pepeng, santi, tino, and other typhoons that passed the Philippines. but there are those nights that I get to see a cloudless sky, and the moon shines bright along with the stars..

it's nights like these that I wish our house had a balcony.. you'd probably find me sitting there, with a laptop, and a drink in hand.. not necessarily alcoholic, but something to quench my thirst..

it's also times like these that I want to climb a mountain again.. on a mountain, you get to see more stars than in the city.. the city lights cause less light to pass through the atmosphere you see, so the more city lights we have, the less stars we see..

for those of you who I have climbed with, I'm sure you know the feeling.. and for those of you who hasn't tried climbing mountains (literally), it's a lot of work, but the satisfaction you get when you reach the top is worth it..

back in the gray zone...

like I said yesterday near lunch time.. "di ko nga alam kung anong kulay nun ngayon eh".. and as it turned out, I'm still in the shade of gray..

I thought I was already nearing the white zone.. but then I stumbled back to the gray...

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!!

Yesterday was one of the most unusual experiences that I've ever had in my life..

It was 10:20 in the morning, on a rainy Saturday morning.. we were in the middle of our third quiz for our Inorganic Chemistry subject, when a general chemistry student of Ma'am Miranda (Our professor for Inorg) came in and inquired about the exam he was supposed to take, because classes were already suspended during this time.

Normally, Mapuans would ask for confirmation first about things like these because a common trait that most Mapuans would have is the "Don't waste my time" mentality. This form of mentality is usually present in every Mapuan because he prefers to be as relaxed as possible even if it is already the last week of classes, and the final exams are coming up..

After 10 minutes of staring at my quiz booklet, and realized that there was nothing else I could write, I decided to submit my paper, and be done with the exam. After talking with my other classmates who submitted after me, I realized some of my answers could be wrong..

12nn came, and it was raining as hard as hell.. which meant it would take a while before we could get a ride home, so we decided to play DOTA while waiting for the rain to stop. Unaware of what awaited us, just as we were in front of the signage of the school's name, there was a flood infront of Mapua, so we decided to go back into the campus..

While outside the campus, with all the umbrellas surrouding me, the sleeves of my shirt got very wet, and when I visited the lab assistant's office, they told me to dry my shirt and wear a different one so that I wouldn't catch a cold.. so I did just that, and I placed my wet shirt infront of the electric fan for faster drying. which caused a spark inside the office because the wall of the office was leaking, and the exposed portion of the motor began to shoot colors..

And so the rain continued, and none of the students dared to face the rain, and parents started texting their children to stay in school because of floods happening everywhere. The school then allowed us to stay for the night, and even provided us dinner and breakfast for free.. XD

During the length of the night, we watched movies, played cards, as well as plants vs. zombies. The fun part of the movie watching was that we were watching the movie in full screen since the S.A.'s let us use the LCD projector.. XD

The most unusual thing about the experience as a refugee was that I and my co-students of the Che-Chm department had a world of our own inside Mapua. While most of Mapua was in the gym or AV rooms, I and my batchmates were staying in the Chemistry Laboratory Stockrooms. While everybody was watching the news, and waiting for the rain to end, we were up at the 4th floor enjoying ourselves to everything we could do..

Going home was the best part of being a refugee because we saw a lot of things that made us wonder just how strong the rain was last night. Especially the Quiapo area.. @_@

If we had a chance to take a picture of said area, I would have posted it here. But for now this is what you get. I have videos of what we saw before we rode the LRT 2, so I hope you wait for it.

we're a dying breed... (repost from cris na nakuha kay johann na nakuha nya kay yael)

...This one bulletin post is for you...

Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore... And because of this, there are not many left out there... I guarantee 90% of the men on your page will not re-post this because they care more about their image. If you are a nice guy re-post this with "We're a Dying Breed " If you are a girl that thinks every guy should treat a girl this way re-post this with: "To Every Guy"
