The movie is not good; but is not that bad neither. Oh yeah, forgive me for the usual blah! I just mentioned 'not good' and just lost my integrity for still making a review on this! Haha! Okay, let's just say, I am now possessed --minus the spinning head and pea-soup and high-angled projectile puke-- by the devil and it is him writing this. LOL!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;So, speaking of the devil...Hafstrom perfectly places him (the devil) on the limelight to creep the hell out of all of us. Apparently though, it will always go without saying that this is like what any other exorcism film maker would do. But I challenge you to give this film a chance to attest itself that this isn't another &lt;em&gt;The Exorcist&lt;/em&gt;, or a copy cat of &lt;em&gt;The Exorcism of Emily Rose&lt;/em&gt;, and you'll be surprised with the team's few attempts to have it more edgy over the other films of its genre.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;Let me start with Haftrom's unique idea of preventing the movie from being conveyed as another cliche, by his attempt to put a different attack on Michael Kovak's (O'Donogheu) struggle on faith. The usual arguments, &lt;em&gt;"Is there really a God?"&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;"I can't do this and that because I lack faith (in God)."&lt;/em&gt;, and whatnot, are replaced with, &lt;em&gt;"How do I (O’Donoghue) take the devil away when I do not believe in him in the first place?"&lt;/em&gt;, and..*insert any other statements on disbelief on devil's existence. This approach also poses a call for atheists to do a tweak on their premise, that they may yet prove themselves worthy not to be called fools :D Okay, forgive me (father) for I have digressed! Haha!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;Another thing that's worth to mention, and I think the best asset of the movie, is its cinematography. Thanks to Ben Davis' admirable talent. Honestly &lt;s&gt;and without exaggeration&lt;/s&gt;, I have never seen a movie yet that has as much creative camera works and perspective. The camera crawls in every scene with purpose --whether to scare you or to give you (false) expectations that in the next scene you'll be in dread, or screaming. Fast, precise and sharp shift of focus never compromises the scene's sense of art, especially during detail-defining shots. But since those are aided by technology, let alone Davis' creative playful mind shown through uniquely-angled shots from frame to frame, the movie can brag and will never be ashamed of showing off its ass if, or when, commended for its cinematography. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;However, the brilliance ends there! As far as the acting is concerned, O’Donoghue is so-so. Emotions are flat and he is, in general, blank. He could have pulled-off a more effective mortician-turned-seminarist guy who eversince from his childhood has resentments to God after her mother died. But nah. Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins) even outshines O’Donoghue..he is very realistic, and his role as the key character to Kovak's turning point is well justfiied. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;And before I forget to mention, the spooky echoing whispers of the demon that is supposed to frighten the audience becomes annoying. I don't know why, but that is what I felt for it. Nevertheless, the rest of the sound effects sure do a good job as far as the film's effectivity in giving goosebumps is concerned. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;There. That's how I see The Rite. It's just right, but not all right. Still worth the watch though! I give it 8.5/10 :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); LINE-HEIGHT: 1.5em; FONT-FAMILY: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238572846679867827-3945936628240544767?l=i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com/2011/02/rite-not-all-right.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Leoj)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_u9ALtsADOGk/TVKhX8RCnpI/AAAAAAAAAWs/Z1LnOtgWQg8/s72-c/MV5BMTcxNTAxMTMzNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMjQ1MDAxNA%2540%2540._V1._SY317_CR0%252C0%252C214%252C317_.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238572846679867827.post-3517162284557418250</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-02T13:06:08.642+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">cars</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Work</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">internet</category><title>Ride On!</title><description>One of my colleagues in the company where I work for has a new pick-up ride!

I was just a student then who always craves for a break and wishes that college would be over -- and yeah it did happen! But sadly, I learned that because college is over does not mean I got plenty of breaks and vacations! In other words, be careful with what you wish for blah  blah blah! :)))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yeah. It's official. But, ugh, I can't seem to organize some plans for this much awaited break! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hmm, I'm thinking though -- if I can just let things happen spontaneously. No plans. No schedules. No schemes at all. Hmm, that, I hope, would be more exciting. Nah. I'm sure that that is a better idea. Yeah. Because, whatever happened to the time tables and working plans I made that I promise myself would have followed in the entire semester? Yeah right, it worked. And yeah, I don't mean that!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well, now I'm dreaming. Ever heard of SeaSide? Uhm, that's just a place to pamper yourself. All right, that is being sketchy of me. So, uhm, that place is actually a first-class resort where the 4-star &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g54359-d97349-Reviews-Grande_Shores_Ocean_Resort-Myrtle_Beach_South_Carolina.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Myrtle Beach Hotel&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; is located and where the white sandy beach is just footsteps away. Argh. I'm drooling to experience the luxurious &lt;a href="http://www.grandeshores.com/discountsanddeals.cfm"&gt;Myrtle Beach vacation deals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandeshores.com/discountsanddeals.cfm"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;even for this short break that I have. Oh, that is a total drivel! But for the people who can go there for real, well, I tell you...staying at the SeaSide &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;would be boring without their world-class amenities. Would you not enjoy their helicopter tour package? Or their so called enchanted sailing charters? Or the first-class spa service? or whatnot?

I talked. I looked around.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then I saw you. Alone. I stared at you for seconds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But as much as I want to just have my eyes glued on you, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was avoiding eye-contact. Because if that happened, I would have shrinked in shame. So, I diverted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Simplicity was defined at first look.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And yet ironically as I gazed, second by second, you were defying it.

Naalala ko, nagagawa ko lang magblog kapag may bago akong pagkakakitaan, o kapag nanalo ako sa isang contest, o minsan kapag masaya, pero madalas...kapag nalulungkot ako. Tulad ngayon...&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Ewan ko. Hindi ko alam kung  matatapos ko 'to. Kapag nabasa mo 'to, nagawa kong i-publish, at congrats sa'ting dalawa! Ikaw na lang ata ang reader ko eh.

At 'eto ako ngayon, pinipilit ulit ang sarili na makapag-sulat. Ang totoo, hindi ko alam kung anong isusulat ko. Blanko talaga utak ko ngayon. Kaya medyo sabog itong post na ito. Hmm, sige hindi pala medyo, sabog talaga! Ayoko naman ikwento lahat ng nangyari sa'kin. Ang dami eh. Hindi ko na rin alam kung saan ako magsisimula. At isa pa, parang nawala na sila lahat sa isip ko. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ayun, nalulungkot kasi ako eh. Lately kasi may mga pangyayari sa buhay ko na long term ang impact at hindi ko alam kung na-handle ko ba ito nang mabuti. Naging sunud-sunod iyong mga major decision making sa buhay ko. Ang hirap pala mamili, ano? Hindi dahil importante pareho iyong choices ko, kundi dahil hindi ako sanay pumili. Ngayon, may tanong sa isip ko kung tama ang mga desisyong ginawa ko. Minsan nagpapanggap lang ako na alam ko, pero ang totoo hindi talaga. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Paano at kelan ba talaga malalaman kung tama ang desisyon na ginawa mo?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238572846679867827-7348913964361733543?l=i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com/2010/06/ang-tagal-na.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Leoj)</author><thr:total>10</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238572846679867827.post-5278293088672367300</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Apr 2010 05:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-03T13:44:58.486+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">elections</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">internet</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">summer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Vacation</category><title>On Travelling</title><description>&lt;div&gt;Good Morning People!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just got home from a vacation. It was kind of spontaneous trip this holy week because we haven't booked or reserved accommodations to any beach resorts. The trip was either in San Juan or Calatagan, Batangas. But since it was unplanned, fate brought us to Nasugbu. Haha!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So there, after 7 hours of travelling and searching of a beach resort that has a good accommodation and beautiful sceneries, we ended up at Kawayan Cove. But no regrets because the place was a hidden paradise in Batangas. Here (photo from flickr.com):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_u9ALtsADOGk/S7bPx-rux2I/AAAAAAAAAWM/Jr28NLF_Ucc/s1600/295416534_20877cb3de.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_u9ALtsADOGk/S7bPx-rux2I/AAAAAAAAAWM/Jr28NLF_Ucc/s320/295416534_20877cb3de.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455776456152893282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I tell you, 7 hours of travel is no joke, especially when you don't know where you're heading to and worse when you travel on a rough road. And yes, we experienced that! But luck was still on our side because we haven't experienced being stranded in the middle of nowhere, where  car repair shops are nowhere to be found. Imagine if we were to replace the &lt;a href="http://repairpal.com/head-gasket-replacement"&gt;head gasket&lt;/a&gt; of the our ride? Hmmm, maybe it would have taken us more than 12 hours for the travel alone. I hope we also have this &lt;a href="http://repairpal.com/los-angeles-auto-repair"&gt;Los Angeles Auto Repair&lt;/a&gt; in our country, which we can access online! The site also offers specific auto repair service such as for &lt;a href="http://repairpal.com/ford-explorer-2000"&gt;Ford Explorer&lt;/a&gt;, Audi A6, etc. But as for a longterm solution, those rough roads must be reconstructed to smooth, hassle-free roads.

Yeah, you've read it right, major major! I have four major subjects this semester and this major major subject I am talking about is the most stressful one -- plant design that includes mass balance, energy balance, leaching, ball milling, mixing, crystallization, melting, etc, etc. Oh, yeah! It really is a nerve-cracking subject. If only I can fast-forward time and make this all over....sigh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;So, what do I do?I need a break. Some suggestions I got are...watch movie, time zone, videoke, trekking, or just sleep all day. I think the latter was the most appropriate for now since I haven't got enough sleep since last last last week, no exaggeration! Instead of doing that, however, I choose to spend my time in front of my laptop which includes doing some research yet again for this major major subject and of course, blogging!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Well, I just have to blog this one for my readers on the other side of the earth.

And everytime this happens, I want to write. I miss blogging. I mean, I am not doing my task due tomorrow just to write something on how I feel right now. Okay that's a joke. I'll do this quick, anyway. Enough of the past now. This is about last night. When I had realized, yes -- finally, it's over. It's been really fast and that's not me. I am the type who does not know how to get over with something that disappoints me, or saddens me, or, all right, something that breaks me, or my heart perhaps. I am now experiencing a fast shift of feeling. Is it too late if I let you know about this? We only got 2 months or so. And I want to spend that little time with you, as much as I could possibly do. But, you know me as a joke. And that deplores me more than any forms of world's frustrations. Am I really funny? Do I look like a clown to you? I wish I could change the way you've been treating me. Perhaps I am not yet ready to do that, or it might be a fear of seeing myself being turned down. Either way is a lame reason.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;You see, I cannot even organize my thoughts. That's why I am posting this here. You are not reading this blog, are you? But, by any chance, just in case you feel that someone is writing a blogpost for you, and you are able to sense whenever someone is thinking of you, I hope this gives you a hint of what I really feel for you. I'm SERIOUS, and NOT JOKING this time. So, I wish you give me a chance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Would you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238572846679867827-5510753517083218833?l=i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-can-only-write.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Leoj)</author><thr:total>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238572846679867827.post-3646743636301428479</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Feb 2010 14:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-01T22:48:20.831+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">stress-reliever</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Television</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">internet</category><title>Repost: TV Escapades!</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;My major subjects have been stressing me lately, so I had been squeezing between the last of my free schedules some quality "me and my TV" time. It just happens that sometimes, limited as the channels available here are, I end up watching really awful TV programs. Ugh!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;There are various cable providers available here in my country, but sometimes there are just not enough channels. How I wish that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.directsattv.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Direct TV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt; would have their service extended here in our country and I'm sure that their promo would be a hit. Or it can be the other way around - we move to US, in New York perhaps, and subscribe to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/local/NY-New-York-Directv.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;DirectTV in New York&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/local/NY-New-York-Directv.html"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;right away. hehe. But oh, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.directsattv.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Directv&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt; also has a variety of special offers, not to mention the various channels they can put into your TV itineraries! LOL!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Anyway, if that could not be possible, I think I should find another way of setting off my stress.

I mean a 'real job interview'. Because my first interviews were when I was applying for a part time job, class mock interview, and mock interview conducted by one of the organizations in UP College of Eng'g. And unexpected as it was, I think I did not perform well. What I clearly remembered was when the interviewer asked me what my least favorite subject is, or in my case, was. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;So guess what? Actually it's one of the hardest questions for me to answer. It even took me a bit longer to answer the question. Well, actually, it is easy to say any subjects, but what took me was that I was thinking on how I can defend my answer. After 5 seconds of thinking, I realized that it should not be taking me that long, so I answered...math! LOL. A very cliche answer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Up until now, I haven't received any updates from that company and I know I was rejected. Haha. If only I got to defend all my answers clearly, I think they probably calling me now already. But, the heck! I even told the interviewer that I did not perform well in that subject. It's like I was saying them that..hey, I am not good in math, do not hire me! LOL. Yeah, considering that they are from IT Company. Yeah, boy, what a bad move. Well, at least I learned. If only I knew this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guaranteach.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Online tutoring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guaranteach.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Math Help&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;, I would have given a better answer to my interviewer.  Oh, man, I should have tried this online &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guaranteach.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Algebra Tutoring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guaranteach.com/"&gt;Algebra Help&lt;/a&gt; before&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;. Try it people! Who knows you'll be answering the same question as well. So better be ready.

And when it's February, every UP student is excited. Excited to experience another week-long concert, bazaare, and fun in what we call UP FAIR. Wuhoo! I, for one and for sure, will be attending this event since it would be my last fair as undergraduate student (crossing fingers).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Last year's fair had not been 'fair' for some people who attended it though. In the 5th day of the event, 'people' who were restricted to enter the event created a riot, to the point that they destroyed the fence around the venue. Hmm, but I do not mean that the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.camelbackdisplays.com/CrowdControl.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;crowd control&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; capability and strategy of the organizers was not enough and effective. These 'people' I am talking about were really burning with rage for the reason that they were not allowed to enter the event. Well, I can say that the organizers' reason(s) for not letting them in were very valid and these 'people' had no reasonable reasons to act that way. How can the organizers allow them to enter if some of them did not have ticket as the main pass in the first place. Some were really dressed up like they're going to do something bad inside. They are type of 'people' who will give you a suspicious look as if they want to eat you up. They give you this look as if they want to beat you up if you're a guy, or give you a malicious look if you're a woman. I said that the fair is 'unfair' for some people because they have to suffer from physical injury and hospitalization because of the trouble brought by these 'people'. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;These 'people' just don't understand what &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.camelbackdisplays.com/CrowdControl.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;stanchions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.camelbackdisplays.com/CrowdControl.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;barricades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; are! Hmm, hear me out 'people'...these are for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.camelbackdisplays.com/CrowdControl.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;crowd control&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;! If you guys encounter these things again, for your mother's sake, please do read it as 'discipline'! As for my suggestion to the organizers, setting up a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.camelbackdisplays.com/CrowdControl.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;velvet rope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; might help. At least it will give them a sort of ooops-I-do-not-want-to-break-that-beautiful-barricade thinking. Haha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238572846679867827-238904570301781381?l=i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com/2010/01/on-crowd-control.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Leoj)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238572846679867827.post-5777816939806858960</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-06T23:23:04.685+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">internet</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">weather</category><title>Yet Another Typical Post</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I feel sad now because I still am not able to post my new year post. REAL new year post. Because I am now bombarded with blog tasks as well as my academics is starting to consume all my time and is now compelling me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;----&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Anyway, I am starting to feel the fast shift of cold to hot weather. I remember some few years ago, the cold weather here in the Philippines starts from late November to early February. But now, ugh, it's just a week or so after the cold christmas season and it feels like summer already. Uhm, did I mention fast shift? Well, climate change, that is. Okay, I won't go into details about this technical stuff. Though I might some other time. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;In countries like Philippines, you're fortunate enough if you have your house or room air-conditioned. But then, some are just contented in having electric fans. Aside from the energy savings, it also has decorative purpose when we're talking about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hansenwholesale.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Ceiling fans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;. You'll understand more if you're going to check &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hansenwholesale.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Hansen Wholesale Ceiling Fans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;. They all have it for you, from simple to state-of-the-art types of Ceiling fans. What I also want from Hansen Wholesale is that they give a detailed yet very comprehensive answers to frequently-asked questions (FAQ) -- from sizing to energy saving, to maintenance, and all that what-you-need-to-know about ceiling fans. As for the choices, hmm, they have subcategorized the most unique types of ceiling fans into various &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hansenwholesale.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Ceiling fan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; themes. They really got it all for you (LOL. Sounds like a theme song of a mall huh). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1238572846679867827-5777816939806858960?l=i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://i-am-alchemist.blogspot.com/2010/01/yet-another-typical-post.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Leoj)</author><thr:total>5</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
