PROJECT? DONE... GRADES ARE ALL IN... OJT? SOON...

2009-11-05T04:26:00.000-08:00

Our clock is working... After 6 long months of dreaming about a digital clock with temperature display, it has finally come to life and it's living big time... hehehehe... We just finished defending our project in front of our panel who will determine our final grade which will be revealed after the hardbound copy is submitted. Although I didn't really have any BIG responsibility in the design and construction except for buying the resistors and stuff, I am still proud because I paid for most of the snacks. I was busy working for the publication... Huhuhu!!!

As to my grades, they were all in at last and I have seen it being solved in front of my very eyes... It was a sparkling 3.0, enough to make me a graduate next March!!! Hehehe... I have 1.25 though from a teacher I encounter once a month and a 1.5 from a subject I didn't feel... Did I really take it???

For my OJT, I will be working in an airport, not of just any airport but of Iloilo Airport... I hope I will be assigned to Air Navigation Service...

How to know if your Teacher is USELESS???

2009-10-27T22:20:00.000-07:00

There are people who wish there teachers are nor displayed in memorial parks but still some wish to return to their Alma Mater and be happy hanging around with the people who made them realize that stress is existing when they were still in college, luckily I am one of those who wish my teacher dead.

I am enrolled in a degree where I believe I am born to be with but I love my course though. My misery just came back when one of my teachers (there are only two of them) started to be busy doing a domestic travel to many parts of the Philippine Archipelago plus her children getting sick and her hair turning red (literally). Our classes began to lose its correct shedule and be moved forward and backwards for her to be able to finish what she have to do. The result: three of our MAJOR subjects turned out to be a MESS. So, as for those who wish to have a successful college life, I will give you hints on how to notice your teacher's USELESS!!!

1) If she keeps getting pregnant every year and has a hypertension then most probably you will have no class most of the time.

2) If she has a lot of subjects to teach because your school is in the middle of overstaffing or financial crisis, it will surely affect how you define stress.

3) If she is a full-time teacher, full -time mother, and full-time business tycoon. Self explanatory.

4) If she's expert in luring you with smiles because she was a public figure way back in the 90's.

5) If she teaches you using the simple things with one book and gives an examination with super-duper out-of-this-world problems from never-heard or unavailable books.

5) Lastly, if you have no other teachers to hold the subjects and she's your only hope then she can do whatever.

Now, any more questions???

THE ORIGINAL ORIGIN OF MEN AND WOMEN ON EARTH

2009-10-25T01:46:00.000-07:00

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. So we’re aliens. I have actually listened to a book yesterday while I was again riding my daily dose of carbon monoxide van going to LA (L-A-mbunao, Elow-elow). Yes, it is a talking 3-inch book (Have you seen one?). It is actually about Men that are aliens invading Earth and Women, also aliens invading Earth. The best part of the book is when they collide and everything is just destroyed. BRAVO!!! I will not be writing about how it changed my life since it didn’t but I will share with you how alien migration here on earth came about. So, again, we are aliens. You may look normal but you are not normal and women are weirder than us so don’t attack her. Earth is a quiet planet billions or trillions of years ago since women do not exist here way back. Then, Martians, us, are also quiet and reserved. Most of us face our problems in our own laboratories and just come up with solutions later on. We are satisfied with our lives and enjoyed being with our alien rats in the laboratories (Lab Rats). On the other side, Venusians, the women, are the talking people. Venus was known as the Kikay Planet all over the universe and the parallel dimensions. They love hanging out in clubs and talking to their girlfriends about anything: the way they wash the dishes, the pimples on her eyes and the white hair in her underarms. They almost live in the most peaceful way they know. Here comes the exciting part. Since Mars and Venus are two planets separated by Earth, they bombed our planet and it’s done. Kidding! Since Men usually dwell in their laboratories, they have developed interplanetary fleets but they have no idea on where to go so they made cardboard telescopes until they saw disco balls and flashing lights with HIFI Stereo Speakers, Venus. They got into their spaceships and head towards the loud planet. Two days before, Mama Venus dreamed that aliens will be coming over for a party. They are handsome and are strong so the Kikays quickly cleaned their pubs and danced in the tune of Careless Whisper with nice moves. Martians finally reached Venus and they had a great time together. The dancing, the singing and all the flirting were unforgettable. Venusians thought they found their partners. Martians thought to. He wants to be needed; she wants to be cherished. As they strolled along the pink terrace, pink garden and pink corridors, Martians thought that the place was all so pink. Most Martians started to get depressed while some enjoyed with pink (the gays). The men asked the women to move in with them in their planet but the Venusians disagreed and suggested if both could start over in a new planet, Earth, since the planet are dominated by monkeys. Yes. In this story, either you are a monkey or an alien (CHOOSE). The Martians find it fair so they flew to Earth. As they descended their ships, men began to construct their houses and laboratories while women organized a street party. They lived for centuries harmoniously until one day, dinosaurs devoured them all. What was left were the babies who were self-supporting. These new generation didn’t know anything about being aliens. They started eating each other but soon; they discovered that it’s worse than double dead dinosaurs. So as soon as you return home and talk to your sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers, understand their differences and show them your appreciation on whatever uniqueness you can see between the opposite sex. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus tells us the story on how to accept the interplanetary conflicts between Martians and Venusians. Always remember that Men wants to be needed and women wants to be cherished. Men are like rubberbands who need time to be alone for him to be intimate again while women are like waves; she needs to be down for her to be up. Weird, but it works.

Break na ta!

2009-10-25T01:32:00.000-07:00

You don’t want your boyfriend anymore. He is just too overprotective and you can’t find your own self. He is so controlling that you are starting to lose your closest friends and besides, he is not that ‘gwapo’ naman for you to hang on to something you both have. You have started to date some cute guys in campus including what you believe is your destiny. You are now facing the greatest challenge in your love life (or career if you’ve been doing it for dozens of times); BREAKING UP or simply DUMPING. It is something normal usually done by normal people having normal boyfriends or girlfriends and is also normally responded by violent reactions and can be fatal at times. Let’s just say you’ve been together since you were in Hmmmmm… 3 weeks and 6 days ago. He is playing DoTA across the campus and you surprised him for lunch. You are now walking towards a not-so-descent restaurant along the road with dust and smoke resting on your red cheeks and bloody lipstick. Then you suddenly shouted, “BREAK NA TA!!!”. Your ex-boyfriend by that very moment jumped on the middle of the road and got hit by a jeepney rushing towards the front of your school (it’s lunch) and was declared dead by the Traffic Police who had undergone First Aid Training. But honestly, he really died. If you have some grudges on him, then you would really appreciate but if you loved him even for just a little, you will be guilty of what just happened (hala ka!).

So, if you’re not ready to be flocked by stones at night and be haunted by his ghost, I will give you not one or two but TEN best ways of saying “BREAK NA TA”.

10. “I love you so much pero you deserve someone better, may makita ka pa na nga mas maayo sa akon.”

This is one of the most common way of calling it quits. It’s flattery combined with a hurtful goodbye. Sometimes, if you have a gayish soon-to-be ex-boyfriend, you can add his talents and kindness before saying these phrases. It will give him a good chance in his next attempt and you will still good about what you’ve done.

9. “Palangga ta guid ka but I have to concentrate sa studies ko. Para man ni sa aton someday.”

If your running Summa or Magna and having a Zuma and Magma attitude then, this will fit right into you. No more follow-up questions after this. You might even receive a compliment and an assurance that he will wait for you (that would be another problem especially when there is a pending contract for a new one).

8. “Sorry guid kung busy ko pirme. Wala guid ko pirme time sa imu. Cool-off lang ta anay kay basi may makita ka pa na magaan ka more time.”

Cool-off is also called a breakup but in its lesser evil form. Cooling-off is the slowdeath of a long dead love between you and your boyfriend (or ex). It may sound cool and free for guys but a not-so-good thing if he realizes you’re gone.

7. “I think dapat na guid ta magbreak. I don’t know if I still love you. Mas mayo na lang ni kaysa magdugay pa, mas masakitan ka lang.”

Straight but still blameless, a graceful exit for a fair lady like you. No more whitelies and you’re free from any blame. You’re just honest. It’s painful but you’re not guilty. If he still dies, you will still be okay.

6. “It’s not you, it’s me…”

This is simply not a reason but this is a powerful tool for him to feel good about himself. You getting all the blame is what they want and here it is. You can use it before or after you say the beautiful phrase Break na ta!

5. “I don’t want to destroy our friendship. Friends na lang ta bala.”

Wow. Ouch. It is harsh. You are asking somebody who loves you more than anything else to be friends and see you enjoy in the arms of another? Yes. Friendship is a nice choice of alibi. Your ex-boyfriend will act as your big brother and screen your suitors, that’s a good alternative than having him as your husband though.

4. "I think it's for your own good...it is hard for me...yet i have to do it...bye..."

His nanay doesn’t like you and also his sisters so, why bother? He will not feel that bad. His family will comfort him so that he will not think of you anymore. On the other side, you can now just be the naughtiest girl in town since your t-shirt reads “I am the girl your family warned you about”.

3. “Kung kita, kita guid na ya. Indi lang guid subong ang right time”

CORNY. Telenovelas really hit it big in giving you the best alibis in saying “we’re done”. Destiny is again the one making the breakup. Love came in the most inconvenient moment. He thinks it is breakup while lingering of a brighter future together. He will understand your devilish act.

2. “Nakita ta ni tatay, kung sigehon ko pa kuno, papule-on ya ko sa uma.”

Yeah right. Your father doesn’t even have a farm. This is usually the case: Papa, Daddy, Dad is the best reason to end everything especially when he is in the military or police service. Boyfriends may sound intimidating when protecting their girls but can’t stand a word when the King speaks.

1. “I’m entering the convent…”

Cool. New. Fresh. This one is a top-notch. Who will compete with AMA? Forget it. I highly recommend this one for those who can’t think of anything more. You can add a blessing and a closing prayer. If he later finds out that you have somebody new, you can simply add ‘he is a blessing.’

Ressurected

I am not dead. I was just busy doing other things and that is trying to get a passing mark in all the subjects I enrolled into. For the record, I still have no idea whether I can now go on a long rest since we haven't got our grades and the break is already over. For my teacher, you know who you are, that failed to return our papers since the beginning of the semester, GOD BLESS because you'll never know what will happen to you if you try to put us in RED. For my classmates that will be leaving for Baguio City and Manila, I will pray for you that you will not stay in Landslide prone areas and multi-story deep flood prone areas. To me, I still have no idea since the people I tried to get in touch with in my Co-op Company keeps transferring my letter to another. I hope it reaches the right person before graduation. To those who wished me dead since I again wrote some heartpounding attacks in my columns, just wait, it won't be too long. And for those who love me, THANK YOU and may God Bless Me MORE!!! I am now back on track and for sure you're going to love me the second time around.

The Guard, the Car, the Rich

2009-08-18T22:28:00.000-07:00

Two weeks ago, I experienced to be reprimanded by a security guard at the main gate of our university because I wore slippers to school which is not allowed in regular unstormed days. But that was a stormy day, I went out of our subdivision that early morning for school and I can't imagine my Pony shoes get soaked again in floodwater so I quickly changed it to my Banana Peels (the slippers, huh). Then, after lunch, the sun was already high, this guard yelled at me and asking me for my ID since I didn't follow the DRESSCODE (for non-car, or referred to as the regular jeepney commuters, with all the smoke and dust).

The Dress Code or the Losyang Fashion is exclusive only for those who can be seen by the naked eyes of university guards and also for most students who are not known in campus. Campus celebrities, family relatives and the usual guard chatmates and barkada are free to come in and come out of the school premises without following the dress code and wearing the ID. Of course, if the Head of the Discipline Office is around, this cannot be done because these guards know that its WRONG.

Oh by the way, ladies who look good in sexy outfits are excused and those who look frightening in backless and spaghettis are asked to surrender their IDs.

Finally, if the guard you encountered is having some difficult problems in any aspect of his entire existence, your toe nails will be checked until the last strand of your hair so bring with you a Guidance Counselor to help him find his way out and you can find your way in.

If you have a car, that's a full excuse that you can just drive in the campus even in underwear and a shirt. You may be required to present your ID but wearing them is also subjective (the problem thing of the guard is a big factor in making his decisions). The higher the cost of the car, the better. If you're in a taxi, you might still be checked but your shoes and pants already passed the guard.

My university has this strict implementation of this dress code but I still don't understand why we still have some students who cannot be in what's asked. I question the guards but I also question the students: is this just rebellion to protect freedom of expression or is it plain stupidity and stubbornness???

The Start of TriVal Chronicles

2009-08-18T05:56:00.000-07:00

I am bored. It is the closest thing to death and it's getting worse each minute. If I can't update this blog for a week or two, please consider me dead or my tita won't allow me to touch the LAN cable again. Blogging never crossed my mind or maybe it did but my laziness keeps me away from chit-chatting on the net thru BLOGGING. So, why am I here???

The simplest reason why I considered blogging again is my Managing Editor in our school publication. He did not promote the site but the thought of releasing all your anxiety thru another anxiety is a nice way of killing your time or soon, yourself. THAT IS MY GOAL or maybe NOT. The REAL reason is simply because I can't destroy all my detractors through the university publication so I am taking it to the next level, THE INTERNET. If my writings capture the hearts of the bigger media, I can be featured and I can reach my ultimate dream, to be FEATURED. Bwahahaha!!!

What to expect in my crazy little blogsite???

A lot of personality attacking, reputation destruction and a revelation of a later WORLD DOMINATION PLAN. I am not an EMO or something so expect a blog of mere craziness in the definition of the Neanderthals and Australopithicus (Loser Kind) but information-filled articles for the HIGHER KIND.

TriVal Chronicles is an account of my journey from this day to the time I get tired of updating this site. You will learn how to be involved with what has been happening around you and inside you in very creative ways like sitting in a corner or taking a nap inside the classroom.

I believe that LIFE is created to be FUN. Taking serious topics seriously will lead to cardiac arrest so let's take them the opposite way; let's take light topics seriously and that would only cost us our sanity.

I am hoping that you will be reading what I will be writing and maybe reflect but not too much cause I can't pay for your BURIAL...
