Someone sent a copy of one of their strips (the 77th i think) to our batch y!group a couple of years ago. That same comic strip also inspired my first ever flash animation. And finally, thanks to JV and Meki, I have found its source. they're now on their 590++th. I'd like to share my new favorite!

Let me tell you about today...

Lunes na naman. Pagod pa ako sa pamimili ng gamit at paglalaro ng basketball at pagkain ng isaw na pinaggagawa ko kahapon, Linggo kasi! Basta nung nag-alarm yung orasan ko nung alas sais, nagdecide na ako na 9-6 ako papasok sa halip na habulin pang makapag 8-5 “shift”. Medyo natulog ulit ako habang medyo nagtetext  tapos pagtingin ko, 7:30 na! Ang alam ko, 8 wala nang shuttle na masasakyan dun sa terminal na malapit dito.

Mahaba habang pagiintay, 8:45 na nakaalis yung shuttle na nasakyan ko papuntang Ortigas. Dumaan pa kasi sa iba pang terminal para mapuno yung L300 na sinakyan namin. Dyus ko, pag di ako nakapag time in ng 9:10, 7 ng gabi na ako makakaalis sa opisina! Malala pa dyan, nakwento ni Reggie na wala siya hapon today dahil may errands siya so if ever, wala akong katabi ng 1-7!!! Alas nuwebe paliko pa lang ng Medical City galing Libis, nawalan na ako ng pag asa. Umidlip na lang ako.

Binaba ako sa gilid nung Tektite kaya doon ako dumaan sa “side entrance” ng west tower. Lampas 9:10 na nun so binalak ko nang magwithdraw muna sa 5th floor ng tower na pinasukan ko, kaso pagpasok ko ang init! Paglampas ko sa pangalawang pinto nung double doors, ang dilim! Kaya dinaanan ko na lang yung mga taong parang kasing lost ko.

Tumawid ako sa lobby na amoy parang-may-fuse-na-pumutok! Pero may ilaw naman sa east tower so sumakay na ako sa mainit na elevator. Kahilo ah! Pagbaba ko sa 31st floor, nakita ko bukas yung pinto ng sub zero at tenen!!! Patay yung e-lid thing na gamit naming pang time in. Buti na lang di kainitan sa kwarto namin, haha. After mga one minute, sabi ng boss ko, magtime in daw ako sa bidshot room! So yun, 9:27 ako pumasok.

Walang magawa, syempre, walang computer eh. Nilinis ko yung desk ko... hahaha. Pero hello, paano kami magcocode kung walang kuryente! Sa paper? May sunog daw ata sa basement ng west tower kahapon, kaya ganun. Dumating nga yung mga pumasok ng 8 na tumambay muna sa El Pueblo, wala pa ring kuryente. Haha! Mga 10, pumasok na yung HR people, since wala raw progress sa inaayos sa baba, work was cancelled!

Nagyaya si Byron na sumama ako sa kanila magbowling pero syempre, gusto kong puntahan yung taong sobrang namimiss ko nang makasama ng isang buong araw. So sumabay ako kay JV hanggang sa Megamall tapos nagwithdraw ako at dahil excited na ako, nagcab na lang ako papuntang Ateneo! Habang nasa cab, tinext ko na si Kleng – na papasok ng 1:30 – para magpadala ng damit para makasali ako sa first training of the academic year!

Syempre, sa cov na kami nagkita ni May! Nakilunch ako sa WBC people! Nandun si team captain X, Riya, Drea, Geli at Arlet. Wuhoo! Dumating na si Kleng kaya medyo naglaro na ako... sorry ah, atat eh! Pero grabe, di ko maalalang tiniis ko yung ganung init. Since tapos na yung shift ni May sa recweek booth naisipan naming magDQ sa Eastwood! Dun na rin kami nagpalipas ng oras sa tapat ng Big Chill dun kasi malamig. Pero antok na ako nun, di kasi talaga enough yung tulog ko nung gabi, pabalik ng Ateneo, traffic, inabot kami ng 30-40 minutes. Pero di ko yun nawitness kasi nung time na yung mahimbing akong natutulog. Nakaholding hands pa at may good morning kiss pagpaparada. Hehe! Dumating rin si AC! Pero dumaan lang talaga siya. Di ko na rin kinayang sumali sa drills pero sumali ako sa scrimmage with very first new member Tiff. Nakakapanibago kasi ang tagaaaaaal kong di naglaro, rusty na talaga eh. Haha! Pumunta si Kleng para manood. Pagkatapos ng training, dinaan kami ni May sa Jollibee kasi doon kami sinundo nina Nanay, Ate Em at Eljin.

Ang saya kasi stressed na stressed ako nung umaga, I prayed that the day wouldn’t be so bad and I ended up spending the day doing what I enjoy the most with some of my favourite people and the person I love most. It really has been awhile. Maybe I really have a charmed life.

simple lang

now, yes, only now, it finally got to me, that my days as an Ateneo undergraduate student are over. somewhere among finding out that my aisis account is gone forever, and the fact that this is the first summer since 2005 that isn't riddled with school related activities, and May worrying about papers and oral exams, and waiting for calls from companies, and making decisions about which company to join... it just hit me. haha! and I know it's long overdue.

sabi nga ng tatay ni nikki, "ang saya saya mag-aral eh, gumraduate graduate pa kayo."

nakakalungkot lang pag iisipin ko that I won't be seating through another great philo lecture. nakakapanghina pag narerealize kong I won't be winning another IAC game. parang ang taba taba ko na pag naalala kong di na ako kasali sa regular WBC training. pati yung fact na wala akong bagong InTACT class this year, haha. and I won't be experiencing those different sorts of registration issues that I rant about.

maybe I should've shifted to ECE after all, haha. that would extend my stay a good year? and natanggap pa siguro ako sa Meralco. haha! well, hirap lang kasi ang dream ko talaga ay maging chef! haha! don't get me wrong, i enjoy CS. ganito kasi: how do I see myself in a few years? just like my dad dati... living comfortably with my mom. and oh! he was working at PLDT. get mo ba? "and oh!" lang yung work.

yun lang. hindi na ako estudyante and I'll be working soon. woh. scary. haha! ayos lang, kaya yan, Atenista naman ako eh. :)

champions, baby!!!

just to let every one know kung gaano ko na katagal iniintay ito, read this

i wrote that entry two years ago, when i thought that magiging champions na ulit ang ateneo blue eagles. of course, led by my jc intal, haha!

sobrang hassle ang pagkuha ng tickets this game, pumila kami but walang nakuha maski gen ad. tapos bumili ng gen ad tickets for 200, tapos binenta yung gen ad ulit at bumili ng upper b tickets for 800. kaasar pa kasi like 2pm that afternoon, ak got 5 upper a tickets ng gate price. anyhoo, yun! went with my blockmates (igna and sara, josh and erika, ak, raffy, jr... first time since that maximo oliveros excursion nung first year) and may. grabe, gusto ko talaga nun sa moro na lang manood. sobrang hassle kasi talaga, but deep inside, iba ang talaga ang suporta ko sa aking paboritong team sa aking paboritong laro (thanks to may for making me realize that).

sobrang saya ko na nandoon ako!!! sobrang kinabahan ako nung bumaba sa three points yung lead before ng fourth quarter pero sobrang sarap nung feeling nung last two minutes, tapos pinamigay ng yung "champions" banner! sobrang stunned na lang yung la salle crowd! sobrang sure na yun pero iba pa rin nung tumunog na yung final buzzer! sobrang nawala yung hassle na mag uwi ng cheering paraphernalia, hahaha!

ang sarap isipin na yung huling kanta ko ng alma mater sa isang game as a student was on an ateneo vs la salle game kung saan napanalunan nang ateneo ang championship!

props to jai reyes and nonoy baclao. tama talaga na nakuha nila yung number nina macky at jc! haha, sila #1 and #2 ko this year. hehe! syempre di mawawala si chris tiu, pati si my idol eric salamat! gusto ko lang sabihin, grabe, nawalan na respeto ko kay my ex idol casio. yung dating composure at maturity niya na kinabiliban ko, bumaba sa level ng panggugulang nina malabes at maierhoffer. pero props na rin to the la salle crowd, never ako nairita sa mga fans nila, unlike sa ibang schools (bakit ang onti nila). ayaw ko na magbitter sa mga non calls at phantom calls ng mga referees, haha! still hate nabro. anyhoo, point is, sobrang galing ng ateneo blue eagles!!! iba ang skills, maturity, composure, teamwork at puso!

grabe, pangalawang araw ng pinabright ni nonoy baclao ang araw ko! first was nung game 1 syempre! hahaha! every put back, rebound at block niya nung game gave me more hope na "tangina, magchachampion bago ako gumraduate!!!" woot for the finals mvp! totoo nga yung sinabi ni father dacanay na why nonoy baclao? because he's nonoy baclao!

worth it ang tickets kahit second time ko lang umupo sa upper b! worth it ang cut sa aking crush prof anton sevilla! worth it ang pagmiss ko ng test sa philo! worth it yung hirap umuwi dahil sa ulan at baha!

last year parang medyo lumabo yung math. parang naging 2 > 3 at 2 > 14. this year, walang malabo... siguradong sigurado, 4 > 0. sweep, man! ganun kalinaw ang pagiging champions ng ateneo blue eagles 2008! ang sarap maging atenista!!!

thanks to sara and igna for saving us seats! thanks to kara and ak for the tickets! :) block outing soon! for now, kita kita na lang sa bonfire. *off to buy a shirt*

go ateneo! one big fight!

I finally found my old college files! lol
These are excerpts from my old papers, lab reports and projects... haha!


Hindi pumalyang maipadama sa akin ng aking mga kaibigang may mga taong nandiyan lamang sa aking likod kadalasan para manggulat, maglagay ng kung anu-ano sa buhok ko, manundot ng pwet o magtakip ng mata ko, pero kung kinakailangan ay saluhin ako.

Parang mali a! Haha! I mean, hindi maayos yung sentence…


Many Filipinos are against biotechnology, they are tied to tradition and to the thought that there is nothing wrong with what we have been doing. People in general are too afraid of trying out new things and changing old traditions, but if it is for the best, why should we let that fear keep us from giving it a shot? Before taking a stand, people should primarily know what they are going against and at least know what they are saying no to. This paper will discuss the process of genetic modification and how it can help enhance the food supply of the Philippines.

En12 research paper... gawa ng tamad, dahil fourth year high school research paper din yan, pero may sense naman... tamad lang ako mag-isip ng topic...


...we do not only read these stories, we also write them. In our lives, the more we do, the more we experience and the more we learn, the better we can understand and interpret the stories that we read...

What I learned from Lit13... a paper for Lit14!


Sa luwag ng daloy ng trapiko, naipapakita ng mga Pilipino ang galing nila sa pagmamaneho, naging kaduda-duda nga lang kung may abilidad silang mag-isip.

Walk-a-lator! Ang sagot sa mabigat ng daloy ng trapiko sa katipunan!


Long ago, I was accepted the university that I have wanted to go to as a child. The problem was, longer ago, I have already changed my mind. But going to the Ateneo is the most logical and normal thing to do.

Haha! Karamihan sa mga papers ko about high school…


Sa ating bansa, masama ang sabihin mo sa iyong kapitbahay na huwag magtayo ng pansamantalang basketball court sa gitna ng daan para sa liga ng barangay. Hindi rin tama na magreklamo kang sinakop na naman ng mga taong nagbabaraha na dumadalo sa burol ng patay ang kalsada. Mali rin na uminom ka hanggang mapawi ang iyong uhaw kung mayroon pang ibang nakapila sa drinking fountain. Dapat din ay bilisan mo lang ang pakikipag-usap sa pay phone kung may pila. Mali rin na magreklamo sa gulo, ingay at kalat ng isang barangay tuwing pista. Sa ating bansa, mahalaga na marunong tayong “makisama,” at kung hindi ka aayon, kung iba ang iisipin at gagawin mo sa inaasahan ng tao, mahihirapan ka. Babansagan kang “walang pakisama.” ... dapat nating ituring na bokasyon ang hindi makuntento sa pangkaraniwan at napagkagawian. Ang pagturing ditong sapat ay magiging dahilan ng pagkawala o pagkasira ng ating pagtingin at paghusga sa kung ano ang tama at patas.

Fil12 argumentative paper... bakit “mali” ang kultura ng pakikisama ng Pilipino... may example pa iyan tungkol sa mga matatanda ng pakiramdam nila ay DAPAT silang paunahin sa lahat ng oras. I’m heartless, I know, pero A kaya ako diyan!

Movements in the 3D world are along three axes: i, j and k. In layman's terms, these are the length, width and breadth1. However, a computer screen is 2D. Hence, we are not expected to see breadth. Thus, the challenge for graphic designers is to make realistic 3D images on this 2D screen that a person would say, in the 2D screen. Meaning, graphic designers should be able to make observers see breadth “in” the screen.

The techie class I learned so much from and I guess enjoyed most: Physics for Computer Science under Mr. Quirino Sugon.


... It is basically about that: principles. The Spanish Inquisition happened centuries ago and their standards may have been totally different. It would be very hard for us today in the 21st century to understand it. This may have also been why the various inquisitions occurred, those in power persecuted principles they did not understand.

Writing a paper about the Spanish Inquisition placed in my head the idea that maybe, we should judge others based on their values. But then I thought, if this was the case, I eliminate the fact that merong mismong mabuti na nagpapabuti sa lahat ng mabuti. So... is good relative? I don’t know, iniisip ko pa rin... yeah, I do that!!! Hahaha!

laptops, CS177, blender and more

Apr 30, '08 11:45 PM
for Mina's contacts

Last November, my parents finally decided that it was time to get me a laptop. Yeah, I don't think you'd survive cs without your own pc, but my desktop got too crappy for my patience. So, the techy person that I am, I got all excited and went canvassing here, there, and even over the internet.

My favorite place to buy big computer stuff was (though it still is, I think), PC Express so I checked their website to see if they had a new pricelist everyday. I also checked out Villman, PC Corner, TCA, PC Bodega, Compex, Octagon, I'm telling you, the list goes on and on. If my mom would have to leave me at the mall for a whole day but I can only stay in one store, I'd probably go to the biggest computer store.

I wanted it to be a Core 2 Duo with a bundled Vista Home Premium opearating system with a built in micophone, DVDRW and webcam (yung mga hindi ko sinabi, feel ko masyadong basic na).

Finally, after months of confusion and being torn between wanting the best laptop and not wanting too seem foolish to my parents, I chose Lenny. I found out that there were stocks available at PCX the day the new pricelist was uploaded. Even if his processor runs at 1.5GHz, I chose him over the *uber* sleek Compaq laptop (his closest competition) who runs at 1.83GHz because the Compaq didn't have a webcam. Plus, Lenny was 6k cheaper. I liked an Acer's features but I didn't like the look at all. I preferred Lenny's classic laptop look over its *childish* exterior. There was also the Neo series that came in green and I really wanted to have a stand out laptop. Mind you, they were 10k cheaper than Lenny but the features were just too *weak*. So, my dad and I bought him, insensitively I think, on my brother's birthday! Hah!

During the finals week, my dad showed me this new Neo laptop. 2.1GHz, Sta. Rosa Chipset, 2GB ram, 160 GB HD plus all the peripherals I wanted for the same price. But Neos are local and Lenny is an IBM and it didn't look any better than Lenny so I didn't really wish I got this laptop instead.

I took CS177 this summer. #1 because I wanted to have the option to take a specialization without overloading. #2 because ABS CBN Interactive was really really unorganized about internships. #3 so I could keep my *focus* to getting As. And #4 so that a regular semester's load will be lighter.

This class used to use OpenGL to model in 3d, but since the department wanted to take advantage of the availability of the Xboxes (yes, plural) our class is now using Visual C#, XNA and Blender. Blender is a bitch. Hahaha. Really (for a laptop user), it uses the numpad and the number keys (with the symbols) don't work. And it is the first software I've ever used that gave the middle-mouse button a very important, uh, task?

Now, I don't have a mouse because I gave the one that came with Lenny to my brother and I broke the one I was supposed to be using. Looking for a suitable mouse (maliit, mabigat, may middle-mouse button, retractable yung cord, katerno ni Lenny), I went into TCA.

Dandan-dan-dan!!! There it was, the sleek Compaq. The one Lenny beat because of his webcam... because I chose the webcam over a laptop's power. Of course, the geek that I am, I checked it out. Wait, there's something different. What's that dark circle in a rectangular border on top of the screen? DAMNIT. Compaq released a new model with a built in web cam!!! No it's okay, this must be more expensive. NO. It's not.

Ang bitter ko ano? But really, I only get like this when gadgets are concerned. Too bad, off all the thing I like to buy: shirts, shoes, shorts, bags, caps, food... gadgets deflate or improve the fastest! (actually, I only really really like shopping for two things: gadgets and shoes). Like, Lorenz said "Parang kahit anong bilhin mo kahit kailan, may lalabas at lalabas na mas maganda or mas mura." He was as devastated as I was when he found out because he could feel the shit-that-could-have-been-my-laptop feeling because he got one of those *uber* sleek Compaqs I almost bought.

I can't wait to become super rich and buy a super computer, haha! Anyhoo, off to test if my new mouse works with blender (I doubt that it won't but still), it's pretty good and cheap so I'm happy with it, but I bet next month I'll be wanting something better or cheaper... or both.

Kagabi, nagbabasa ako ng blog ng ibang tao, ito raw yung isa sa mga birthday wishes niya:

Mala-“nakakainis ka naman, naiiyak na ko”- birthday surprise. Hahaha!

Naisip ko, bakit mo naman gugustuhin yung pagsisinungalingan ka... magmumukha kang tanga. KANINA (March 15, 2008, 5ish), itinuro sa akin. itinuro sa akin ng mga taong nagturo na rin sa akin ng marami pang ibang bagay kung bakit.

Mabebente na ako sa darating na Sabado, ika-22 ng Marso 2008... Black Saturday yun! Gumising ako kaninang umaga, iniisip ko kung pupunta ba kami sa ABL Fellowship, haha, napaka-clueless ko. Inisip ko kasi kung may balak man sila gawin, pagkatapos na ng finals.

Grabe, hindi ko makwento, hindi ko alam kung paano sisimulan, kung anong sasabihin. Wala akong idea talaga! Kung kakamustahin niyo ang supresa, ang sagot ko lang, "supresa talaga." Sa pagyayaya ni Eya sa blockmates niya ng mag-mall ng 5pm, sa pagbubulungan nila ni Geli, sa pagtatago niya ng kung anu-ano sa bag niya, sa pagiging hindi pwede magsched ng kahit ano on the 15th na hindi naexplain ni Tanya kung bakit, sa pagluluto ni nanay, sa pagyaya ni Ginny sa Cherry, sa pagdala niya sa akin sa isawan, sa pagkaligaw namin sa Fortune, sa pakiki-ihi kuno niya dito sa bahay... wala, wala akong napansin. Hindi halata pero magaling naman talaga ako magbasa ng tao e, at mahirap ako supresahin dahil, hindi man halata, nag-iisip kaya ako.

I love being kaladkarin.

I hated surprises for as long as I can remember, lagi ko rin sinasabi. Yun ay dahil it involves a lot of being lied to (it matters, siyempre mga mahal mo yung susupresa sa iyo), not knowing what's going on (it matters kung kasama mo sila lagi), and looking stupid.



Kaya wala talaga akong kaalam-alam na maagang darating ang kaarawan ko ngayong taon.

why are boys such jerks?

Mar 5, '08 9:41 PM
for Mina's contacts

fine, alam ko hasty generalization, pero kasi, kagaya ng pagkakaroon ng stereotype ng mga Atenista at Lasalista, yan ang pinaka magandang stereotype sa mga lalaki.

Rachel: Mm-hmm. Oh, so typical. Ooo, I'm a man. Ooo, I have a penis. Ooo, I have to win money to exert my power over women.Monica : I can't believe my parents are actually pressuring me to find one of you people.

kanina, as usual, tumambay kami sa cov courts para tingnan si #2! nagpaalam na ako kay coach van kung pwede na akong humiram ng bola, sabi niya sige raw! so punta ako sa dept, humiram ako ng bola kay coach gilbert, tapos hindi na niya pinaiwan id ko. si geli na nag-aaral, nung pinakitaan ko ng bola, nagpack-up na. haha! so nagbihis na kami. pagbalik namin, siyempre, yung usual court namin yung chineck ko, walang tao, pero mainit sa court 8! pero wala naman tao sa court 7, so doon kami nagpractice with ni geli with drea and dia! ang ganda ng shooting ko nun! haha! inspired? anyway, may game kasi sina drea at dia kaya ang sabi namin sa kanila, magbihis na sila. so nagbihis sila. habang nagbibihis sila, kami ni geli, shooting pa rin. tapos dahil pasulyap-sulyap ako kay #2, nakita ko na may mga boys nang gumamit sa kabilang half court ng court namin. nagshoot pa nga ako ng nakatalikod sa ring at nakaharap sa court 2, chook!

anyhoo, maya-maya dumami na yung boys, tapos all of a sudden, pumunta sila sa half court namin!!mga walang hiya amp. nagwhole court yung mga gago! reasonable naman ako, kung nagsabi naman sila, lilipat naman ako sa court 8 kasi hindi na naman ganun kalala yung araw sa isang half ng court dun, pero dahil gago sila, sinigawan ko! "EXCUSE ME!! NAGLALARO KAYA KAMI DITO!!!!!"si number 17 na nakablue, sige pagbibigyan kita dahil medyo pinigilan mo yung mga walang modo mong kaibigan. pero yung mga leche: SLEEPER 33, white #14 with orange shorts, nakamaong with stripes blue-yellow shirt, nakamaong with red shirt, nakamaong with  blue-sleeved orange shirt, singkit na nakashirt under ng blue jersey, nakagreen na shirt, et al. tinandaan ko lahat mga mukha nila. at puro sila bano.

plus, buti sana kung magagaling e kung dumribol hanggang baba! race to 21 lang ata sila pero ang tagal nung game nila. anyhoo, sinasabi na ni geli na lumipat kami ng court, pero bakit ako lilipat?? ready akong makipagbwisitan noh. dumating si drea, simigaw na warfreak ako! haha! but salamat sa inyong dalawa at pumwesto pa rin kayo sa court with me kahit hesitant kayo... hindi kami tumabi tuwing dadating sila sa court namin. sinabi ko na. kami nauna, sila ang lumipat. ang dami nilang nasirang play, may tinamaan ng rebound sa ulo. masaya na ako. bwahaha!

pero pinaka natuwa ako nung sabi nung isa sa kanila "ay ssshhhh." lol, hawak ni drea yung bola sa top of the key. nasa low post ako. nasa court namin yung mga lecheng lalaki nung time na yun, hiningi ko yung bola kay drea kasi nakita ko na may magddrive. sakto lang yung pasa ni drea, problema, hindi ako marunong ng left lay-up. fininger roll nung isa sa kanila galing sa harap, ginawa ko yung lay-up na may ikot sa left para right hand ipang-shoot ko. papasok na yung tira niya but toink tinamaan ng bola ko, pumasok yung tira ko, tumalsik yung bola niya! sasabihin niya dapat "ay shit." malamang, pero "ay ssshhhh." lang nasabi niya nung tiningnan ko siya. lol

honestly, bakit iniisip ng mga lalaki na mas may karapatan sila sa court? bakit feel nila ang galing galing nila magbasketball na may karapatan silang mag-angas ng ganun? someone, please, sumagot. nakakairita kasi talaga. parang mga tanga. nakita kami ni coach mac, hindi daw ba kami nakakagulo dun, may naglalaro. sinabi kong nauna kami, at hindi naman sila nagsabi, sabi ni coach mac "ay, tama yan, tama yan."

nangyari na ito dati e. dito naman sa village. kasama ko si claire, bianca, ate bei and hindi ko na maalala. gusto ko rin magstay nun at makipagbwisitan, but kasi, may bumangga kay claire, kaya umalis na lang ako. kitang kita ko pa sa mukha ni bianx nun na gusto niya magstay e.

siyempre, nawala na yung maganda kong shooting, haha. at ang mas malala pa, hindi ko nasamantala yung pagiging nandun ni #2! nagstay pa naman later than usual. anyway, nauna sila matapos, pero after a while, pumunta na kami sa pe people kasi nga may game sina drea, dia, trisha vs x.

hay, kung wala si #2 nun, baka nakipagsigawan na ako sa mga lintik na yun. hindi lang sa basketball. bwisit talaga ang mga typical na lalaki. really, i'm so glad i'm gay.

a very geeky and confused semi-birthday blog

Mar 4, '08 9:40 PM
for Mina's contacts

It's been weeks since I found out that I could be part of the 5-year BS-MS CS program of DISCS, still, i haven't decided if i want to do it. My mom certainly thinks that I should, Kerry, on the other hand gave me very good reasons to think about this longer.

Truth is, I really wanted to do this ever since I've heard about it during the 2005 ORSEM, but being a CS student for three years made me realize how much I loath (oo na, exagg) most of the DISCS faculty. Sure, instructors like Paolo Agloro or David Diy are there... I could even do with Jeff Jongco. But taking 6 units under our 162 teacher ruined my whole education on computers. Also, defending a perfectly good project from our 122 and 123 teachers made me think that I would really hate this business. "Sell myself" my ass.

Anyway, I realized this isn't the time to turn back and shift into ECE or ID... even more, shift into Psy or Eco... much more, to file an application to UP or UST to study architecture. I should just get good at this CS things! If I could be so good that I don't have to "sell" my work so people would want to use them, I could prove 123 wrong and I could have an easy life. As Donna, said this tactic will be a "delay of gratification". If I study one more year, my - what Jay-r would call - "time to get rich" would take a year longer than my batchmates but I could be richer faster. Wow. What a plan!

so, to become CS-ey, i should:

• learn C! any suggestions kung paano?
• make the best website for ASPC!
• redo and understand every major CS project by myself.
• join something along the line of Blue Blade.
• Or, I could join the JVP and do something more worthwhile and less selfish. Kaya ko kaya? Hahaha!

I, however, am leaning more towards another reason to go for the 5-year program.

Thinking about my 20th birthday, as it comes nearer and nearer, gives me this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. A feeling that goes up to my chest and lodges itself at my throat.

Obviously, taking the BS-MS program will let me hold on to being a student. Being a student means having no real care all. Any mistakes we might make does not really have anything to do with the real world, right? To me, being a student means making-tambay during breaks, cramming on hell weeks, taking philo orals with Sir Roy, cutting, going to the area for whatever, meeting my freshies, passive checking-out, active checking-out, everything #2 related, watching UAAP games, playing basketball in the IAC and the ABL, training at the cov courts, drinking at Drew's, coordinating class schedules, saving tables at the caf up, trying to connect to the LS wifi, YM-ing, BitTorrenting The L Word's latest episode, shooting for a cause which usually involves Kerry, eating flattened burgers with Tanya and burger and fries sandwiches with Geli and stealing kuluntoy fries from everyone at Mcdo after training, making-sabay with Ginny in her Ipis or THA 587, watching Nikki's puppet productions if I miss eating with them, making time to have meals with Iris or bEBi or Claire, etc.

I hate growing up. It's something I find as hard to do as dancing to a beat. Kara's YM stat said something like how now, we are the grown ups and it's time we decided what that means. Maybe I should just hope and believe that that can actually happen.

Mornings are the best. Mornings smell good... refreshing to some extent. Mornings are perfect for blankets or jackets. I wake up at around 6am everyday (madalas ‘di ko sinasadya) and I like it because I get to experience that morning feeling.

I spent this morning IM-ing one of the best people I know. (‘di niya ito mababasa)

<<some story about #2>>
mina: i soooo like her!!!!!!!!!!!!!
clang: understatement of the week.
clang: haha!
mina: OMG
mina: natawa ako dun a!
clang: okei lang.. normal naman na makulit ka. so hindi niya maoobvious yan.
clang: just don't be all "mina" on her.
clang: or gusto mo ba na malaman niya??
mina: ano yung all mina????
clang: haha! medyo obvious ka kasi eh. rar.
clang: mina signs and symptoms: super makulit, hyper ng sobra, you always make way for the person (kahit hassle for you), matinis boses mo kapag kausap mo yung person (sobra. wahaha!), and you remember EVERYTHING.
clang: as in everything. =))
clang: (isa pa pala: you fidget kapag kinakausap mo yung person. as in galaw ka ng galaw.)
mina: (i don't freakin fidget!!!!!)
clang: (mina. you do. you fidget. and hop around. and talk in your chipmunk voice. trust me.)
<<some story about #2>>
mina: o fuck
mina: i fidget nga.

I was surprised because I never knew she knew me that well. When we talk, it always seems like ako lang nakakaalala ng lahat. Lagi lang niya ako tinatanong “Bakit kilala mo si Sandy?” or “Bakit alam mo yung kay Niño?” She is one of the few people who know about this annoying “habit”. I don’t do it on purpose. Alam rin niyang ayaw ko ng pinapakita sa mga tao na ganun ako dahil it seems stalker-ish.

My mom’s cooking is the best. I like getting a whiff of whatever we’re having for breakfast as I lie in bed or get ready for school, taking in every ounce of that morning feeling.

saan nga ba matatagpuan ang Mabuti my ass

sabi ni Kuya Gino ni Lorenz hindi naman daw masalimuot masyado yung "Mabuti" para kay Platon.

this time i'm not stalling, hindi ko na talaga alam! damn, i'm so distracted.

ang mabuting tao o mabuting lipunan ay makatarungan. ang katarungan ay ang harmoniya sa rason/katwiran, gana at pagnanasa ng psyche. ang makatarungang tao ay iyong pinamamahalaan ng rason/katwiran ang gana at pagnanasa. ngunit lahat naman ng bagay dito sa mundo natin ay pawang mga huwad na kopya lamang. at halos maaring makita ang Mabuti.

hay, basta ayon sa kwento, sa tula at sa mga tinalakay natin sa klase, ang Mabuti ay matatagpuan hindi sa mundong ito.

kind of a resolution

Dec 31, '07 12:03 AM
for you

today, my Melliza-Mina cousins (with their spouses and kids, of course), my sister, eljin and i went out for some ice cream at that Nestle Creamery place. we had a lot of fun because we had four very young kids with us, one who is not so young, and there was a very good ball pit. you just can't stop the fun when the young and the young at heart get together after a long time eating vast quantities of ice cream, fries and pizza.

we then went to UP to digest our meal... and eat some more. walang isaw at kwek kwek. this made me very sad, but we had fun running around the sunken garden, eating fish balls, squid balls and kikiam. we even walked to the bahay/balay? ng alumni to pee, hehe.

we went to my cousins' parents' house which wasn't far from here. i was, of course, with Patrick, my 4th year high school nephew. since we were kids, we did a lot of crap together: played with mud, killed giant spiders, pissed my younger sister off, flew kites, and, one of our favorites, rode our bikes.

stuff about me and my bikes:
i rode them very well, i beat my brother everytime. (he's 5 years older than me)
i took care of my bikes, i washed them as my dad washed his cars.
i used to ride them all the time at our old street just for the sake of it.

tonight Patrick said we should go biking. but we only had his (since we moved i mine got rusty and broke). he said "ako sa pipidal, ikaw magsteer"

haha! i never thought that "stunt" was that easy! anyhoo, after that, we took turns riding on our own. and, omg, it was so great! i felt like how i imagined Harry Potter felt riding his broomstick after being locked up by the dursleys! the wind in my hair! hehe!

so that's that, my resolution is to ride bikes again just for the sake of it! and mas mahalaga yung realization that i so loved riding bikes! there were a lot of stuff i loved as a kid but let go of as i grew old (when will i grow up?) and biking is one of the most wonderful ones. biking and basketball and i'm on my way to my dream health!

after nito kumain kami ng balut at chicharon at nagkwentuhan (so much for healthy living). and i know it's emo but i so feel bad because Patrick and his family are migrating to New Zealand this coming April. their dad, my cousin, is already there, settling stuff. so sad because i'm really close to their family (i used to come over a lot). Joshua, his younger brother, always told me stupid grade school, now high school, stories and Ayesha, his younger sister, is my only godchild besides Eljin. plus, that's one whole gift gone come Christmas, hehe.

finals week

Oct 17, '07 3:51 PM
for Mina's contacts

at last, my worst sem in the Ateneo has ended. it didn't go easy though, still, there's still a lingering feeling from the dreaded finals week. i still don't know if i failed Fil14, still hoping that i got B's in CS152a and Ph101, but worse of all, i know i'm gonna get something Cplusee in CS123. grr, isa-isahin natin.

my finals sched:
tuesday: 9:30 Hi165
              1:30 CS152a
              4:30 CS 123 final deliverable
wednesday: Fil14 final project deadline
thursday: 9:30 CS123
                CS123 case analysis paper
saturday: 10:30 Ph101 orals
tuesday: CS123 final project PRESENTATION

sunday, i started reading for the Hi165 final. damn, 2 chapters for Fr. Arcilla, 13 chapters from Fr. Schumacher and we'll ba asked to answer 2 questions, 1 from each book! of course, i got bored. play around with jino, read, got bored, talked with my sister, read, got tired, slept, woke up, watched friends... well, the point is, i didn't really get anywhere. sooo...

monday, i woke up at around 6. being the morning person that i am, i started reading Fr. Arcilla. then, i read Mel's notes on Fr. Schumacher. at around 12, i was at chapter 7, i stopped reading and started studying for CS152a. i got stuck on a stupid CMOS problem for like 2 hours, only then did i accept defeat and proceeded to the other topics. until like 11 in the evening, i studied for CS and read for histo, salitan.

tuesday, i arrived early, as usual... kerry, i saw your chu! nakapag-usap rin kami indirectly pero short lang! ay naku girl, miss na kita! Dra. Santos gave me the white blue book, ang boom, wala akong alam! well, not really walang alam pero wala akong gamay sa mga tanong niya! so i took a shot at the La Liga Filipina and the Jovellar questions. i went to faura and saw Miggy printing their deliverable, i also went with him to the ORP, which was closed. then, we went to our CTC lab to meet lorenz and donna to print and bind our deliverable... Intermatrix was our only option for binding if we wanted to submit the deliverable on time, so Donna, Miggy, Wendy ang i went there. inulan pa kami pabalik ng school! so at the caf, i was cramming the topics i haven't studied for. 152 test was fairly easy. but i had to take a guesses at the stacks questions worth 10points. i had to get 95/120 to get a B. so there... i misspelled compulsory as compulsary... and i had to check the handouts now to know which is right. nagpapirma pa kami ng deliverable pagkatapos, pero corni na yun... Tanya and i went to nica's house to dub for the fil project, Carmel was there too. we were so excited by the ideas we were having. so got started with it when i got home (tatay, nanay and eljin picked me up! weeh).

wednesday, i was done editting the echos for the narration. tanya was sending me the slides for our pseudo-video. but after she uploaded the tenth, she stopped. nakautlog! when i woke up at eight because of a ding from her, i crammed the video. so much for the powerpoint idea. i got some sleep then reviewed for 123 that afternoon and compiled the case analysis paper that night!

thursday, i arrived early, again. corni rin itong araw na ito pala! i took the 123 test... which was harder than i expected. went to AAA to interview sir JQ, for the implementation of our final project. lorenz and i emptied our lockers and donna returned her PHP book.

friday, namilosopiya ako para masagot ang tesis ng paghahamon ni sir Roy, natulog para magpahinga, pero ang araw na ito ay ginugol ko sa pamimilosopiya. sapagkat ang pilosopiya ay ginagawa.

saturday, tatay, nanay and Kleng dropped me off at dela Costa at around 10 to 10 (maaga nga talaga ako lagi!!!) they were going to wait for me since i'll be done by 10:45. i ran into sir who said "o, 10:30 pa ha..." Iya arrived after 25 minutes or so. she got the slot after mine. i was really nervous for the orals, i was ready naman. we almost went to Sta. Lucia but kuya Pei was puking at home from eating a bad ensaymada so we went home. Kleng and i went with my sister and jino na lang to the mall. nanay and tatay wanted to stay with my disgusting brother. so at the mall, we went to the big play house for jin. kuya Baret met us there. siya yung boyfriend ng ate ko. Kleng got herself a flash disk and i got me an MP3 player! yey! we looked for stuff for jino's Go! Diego, Go! costume for halloween. we made him a rescue pack when we got home!

sunday, started the day by going to mass as usual. nagcode na.

monday, still coding! wala na akong kinakausap na hindi ko groupmate na hindi tungkol sa systems! haha! sorry  sa mga tao...

tuesday, i arrived at school at 7:30... i have just received a text message from donna, saying that she just woke up! wendy was gonna be late too. i ate breakfast at caf, sad loser. i called lorenz who was still at NLEX daw, SLEX kaya yun... haha! had no idea where steph was. good thing i saw the loyola bulletin[?], finally i had something to do (read!!! wtf!). presentation time. damn it.  none of us knew this was a presentation! we got delayed because we can't use the projector. all the time, we were preparing for a defense, so we were, polishing our scripts, trying to make the system work, getting ready for the demo. instead, we got a lecture on how we should try to sell our product. damn it! good systems sell themselves, why do you think sir JQ was so excited about the system? palibhasa, hindi niya kayang gawin yung ginawa ni donna sa system namin, kaya bitter siya. kaya wala na lang kwenta yung system namin dahil hindi namin nabenta. maybe that's why she never taught us to write scripts in this class. way to ruin for us who were happy about how our system turned out to be.

• anyhoo, here are some of the things that sort of brightened the week!
• i realized how much i liked sir diy, despite his overflowing geekiness, he has a good personality and he does have social skills.
• i found the 152 final fairly easy, 'nuff said.
• our fil project was accepted with no deductions because we were wrongly informed that the deadline was 10am. we submitted at around 11[?], real deadline was at 12nn.
• i got an A from ma'am Bellen for our Batang Rizal paper!! 92 from Bellen, baby!!!!
• got to bond with my course friends again! and donna, being irritated that i knew almost anything she asked me about CS123!
• tatay, nanay and jino picked me up at school after i emptied my locker just as it started to rain! bumisita kami sa dating bahay at sa isko dahil sinundo si kleng! it was nice to be back, the street seemed shorter somehow..
• clang texted me, haha!! just to say that may MINA empire dati sa Japan, nabasa niya sa encyclopedia 2 years ago! haha! i miss my lil sis! sana nababasa mo ito!
• eljin. haha! i got to play in the big play house because binantayan ko siya. and everything about him na rin! haha! hayds, marunong na siya kumanta! swear! yung may tono na! ama namin pa yung song!

*kumakain ng KIREI, umiinom ng GATORADE, pinapanood yung na magpalit palit yung wallpaper ko ni PON AT ZI (huli kong nakita yung "wake up love, the sun came to see you!" before nun yung "i'll just pretend to hug you until you get here"), nakikinig ng mga weird favorite songs ko, tntry magbasa ng histo..*

pinapag-aral na ako ni kleiw!! meehhn, katamad talaga.. nagcompute na ako ng QPI, haha, since A na ako sa physics, kailangan ko na lang ng isang B+ at tatlong B, yun yung pinakamadaling combination para maka-DL ako. right now, ang class standing ko sa histo at sc10 ay B. sa histo, kailangan ko ng 92.something para makaB+, sa sci10, 94.something, tang ina.

nabwibwisit pa ako kasi, sa lahat ng test sa histo, mas naayos ko pa sana yung pagbabasa ko! putcha, naalala ko talaga, lagi akong may isang araw para mag-aral, pero naggago lang ako.. kagaya ng ginawa ko ngayon, haha! kaasar talaga.. sa sci10, asa pang maka 94 ako dun!! pati ata yung mga naexempt hindi naka94 ever.. grrr talaga.. sana optional na lang siya para hindi ko na kailangan mapahiya sa napakabait at napakagaling na VPLS, mahal ko si maam, pero ayoko talaga ng orals!!

sa sobrang galing ko mangstall, nass-stall ko na rin sarili ko..

haaii, grr naman talaga, kung kaya ko maka90+ sa mga subject nayun, edi sana naexempt ako. huhuhu.. sana biglang dapuan ng kabaitan si sir at bigyan niya na ng 1 letter grade higher ang mga nagfinals, haha!!

haayyy katamad..

may CS pa! amp, ganda talaga ng finals week na toh, nasira pa yung PC ko kung kailan ako dapat magprogram, kawawa naman si donna, pero hindi ko talaga makuha yung mySQL kahit anong titig ko.. shet, kailangan ko ng tutor.. sana makatulong na ako bukas.. hayy.. buti na lang gumawa ako ng GUI, better pa rin ako kay steve na walang gustong gawin at feel pa niya apprentice niya si donna, kapal, kung PBB toh, evicted na siya.. sana makaB+ pa rin ako sa CS.. at sana makaA si donna...

at ang pinaweird na subject.. AMC.. haha, eto, sobra kasi akong torn, magpapakadalubhasa ba ako sa AMC or sa histo? kasi naman sa AMC, alam ko na may chance ako makakuha ng mataas na grade.. pero hinulaan lang naman ni sir grades namin last sem e! at mataas naman ang binibigay niya.. A nga ako e.. haha.. so baka useless maging magaling pa, at dapat ko ng aralin histo, pero wala nga akong pag-asa maka92 dun!!! kung kaya ko edi sana dati pa.. i mean, kung kaya na 2am ako nagstart a.. haha.. siya, siya, i'll stop stalling myself na.. babasa na ako..

i heart basketball, last game of my first IAC season...

Dec 8, '06 11:35 AM
for Mina's contacts

nung tuesday pa ito, naDC lang ako at tinamad na akong mag-upload...

huhu, talo na naman kami sa last game namin.. ugh, ang pangit ng feeling, haha, nagbblog lang naman ako kapag yung feeling ay tipong days ko dala sa aking heart, haha..

game against ocean's12, sila rin nakalaban namin nung unang game na natalo kami.. nung nagrationalize ako nung uhmm, sunday.. naisip ko, ako, bilang player, pag nagstart na natatalo yunh team, hindi kasing lakas yung drive ko na manalo pa kaysa kapag nagstart na nanalo na kami.. nung pe finals, kami yung pinakamaliit at pinaka-onti yung line-up pero nanalo kami nung first game at hindi na kami natalo! go coach mac, haha, yung sa soac na soac naman, parang nasanay na rin akong talo kami kapag naglalaro ako. haha, kaya naisip ko ng talaga, papagbayarin ko ang ocean's 12 sa ginawa nila sa first ever IAC season namin... well first ko with my team.....

before ng game, namigay ng letters ang aming team captain, inspiring mehn! haha, i quote her: "thanks sa gift at sa speech!" hahahahaha!!! game na talaga: "i know what your capable of, sana ipakita mo rin sa lahat... your team needs you... i know na kaya mo i-lead yung team mo as their point guard." there. nung nabasa ko yan, game na talaga ako, parang may sumabog, haha...

start ng game, hindi ko na maalala kung paano, basta may 2points ako, tapos nagawa ko na yung dream ko na tinawag namin ni bernard na reverse 3-point play (magdrive, tapos magpa-foul, make the first free throw, miss the second, get the rebound, make the shot).. saya! basta, ang ganda ng game, nagagawa nila yung play nung sinisigaw ko.. natapos ata yung first quarter ng hindi nakascore yung kalaban, or may 2 points sila.. basta ang alam ko: lamang kami; tambak sila. minsan lang yung mangyari. because of fouls and pagod na may halong sakit dahil yung nagdadala ng bola sa kalaban ay binato ako ng malakas sa tiyan, haha! nakakatawa talaga yun.. (pero mamaya may mas nakakawa pa) hindi muna ako naglaro.. pero basta ang alam ko, leading kami buong first half.. sa second half ng naalala kong naabutan kong score, 16-9, kami pa rin lamang, so bingalan ko yung pace, hindo ko na maalala, pero nagkafour fouls ako.. napipikon kasi ako kay ama e, ang daldaldaldal!! pero ewan, feel ko hindi yung useless, dahil hindi naman kami penalty at basta, walang free throws na binigay, dinisrupt ko yung play, parang ganun.. basta 4th foul ko inupo na ako ni mel at pinapagtino ko na yung sarili ko... eto yung mas nakakatawa, thinking na nagmaman-to-man press yung kalaban, nagdrive ako papunta sa kabilang ring! bad trip pa hindi ko narinig yung pito na backing ako, or baka hindi pumito, haha!! si coach pol pa sabi sa akin "go mina!" or baka "no mina!" yun, haha, edi yun, natawa na lang sila.. ast two minutes, kating kati na ako maglaro dahil nalamangan na kami, hindi na nadagdagan score naming 18, number ko daw sabi ni tans... sabi ni ref, 57 seconds, 7 points pa lamang nila.. hindi ko pa talaga ako naniwala nun na talo na kami.. pasa dito, tira doon, ang dami pang nangyari nun, gusto ko magdrive at magpafoul para mapunta sa amin momentum.stineal *uuy, naspell ko* ni ginny sabi ni mel "yan ang get that ball!", dinrive ko "yan ang cross-over!", e hindi ko nashoot, haha, hindi ko na ulit maalala....

may binulong sa akin si ginny, na hindi ko naintindihan nag-attempt pa ata ako ng 3, wala pa rin.. bumulong ulit si ginny, pasa mo kay ste para last shot niya.. sabi sa utak ko: "last shot?? mag-oovertime tayo!!" tapos tumingin ako sa paligid, 18-25 pa rin yung score, pagod na teammates ko, 4 fouls na ako, wala na yung "achuta powered" na nakalagay sa scoreboard.. game, pasa ko kay ste.. whoa, minsan lang ako magkaroon ng free na direct pass kay ste a.. astig toh!!!! e hindi rin ineexpect ni ste, turnover, haha, tadhana nga naman. ang gusto ko na lang ay mabigyan ng last shot ang favorite teammate ko e! haha..

so yun.. haha, naiayak ako pagkatapos ng game.. haha! nun lang ako naging ganun ka-emo..

champions in my heart... bitter pa rin, lol

Oct 3, '06 10:15 PM
for Mina's contacts

haayyyy... lagpas veinte-quatro oras na, bitter pa rin ako, buti na lang humuhupa na.. fallacious ito, read at yor own risk..ü

im still denying the fact that they did not become the champions, haha, schizo.. they lost the game, tanggap ko, pero man, breaks talaga ang nagdecide, i think, haayyyyy, bitter talaga, luto kasi ung isang referee! bakit delaying the game yung dunk ni intal?? so dapat dinaganan na lang niya yung players sa ilalim niya or nagpadulas na lang siya sa bola??? grrr, si jarencio nga may ritual thing pa sa kamay ni cuan bago yung isan gset ng free throw, nakapwesto na yung ref at rebounders yun hindi delaying the game?? haha! bitter talaga! tapos, what up with the "ateneo i mean ust ball"?? parang sira, LUTO!! haha, eto below the belt na talaga, saan na ba si custodio?? gusto ko na maniwala na kinick out siya because of game fixing with a ust almni, or the admin, whichever! bitter talaga! luto rin ba na pinaglaro si espiritu, bakit nung regular season may nasuspend because of a tech and a flagrant foul? siya two flagrant fouls! haba ng leeg niya, buti na lang cool si macky escalona nun. bitter talaga..

it really is a good thing that i watched the replay, though i still am bitter, i noticed that LUTO TALAGA! no im kidding, haha, there, i noticed that it was really the breaks, i still think that the blue eagles are soooo much better than the others *lol*.. they have an overwhelming edge over the others when it comes to skill, experience, confidence (maliban na lang sa kayabangan ni evangelista, sino siya si lebron??), maturity, teamwork, brains, diction and vocabulary (first day high icons, benta talaga!), and of course spanking good looks (hindi sila mukhang driver!).. the only edge of ust was size (fats ba naman nung cruz e..) and the fact that ateneo along with up voted against the referees who were chosen to officiate in the game. as we all know, the referees dictate the breaks, lucky break for them..

jc intal became my favorite player in 2002, and he still is.. i love him! (si kleiw din daw, idol talaga niya ako)..

sucks lang talaga for your favorite team to lose to a team with such * fans, yung isa pinaputok yung balloon nung friend ko sa starbucks after the game. chineeran pa ung eagles ng talo, talo at umuwi na lang kayo nung palabas ng big dome. man, nung first game hindi ginanun yung others, sa forums pag may nanlalait sa others atenista pa unang pumipigil.. squating, matinong institusyon pa naman ang ust, ewan ko dun sa ibang thomasians. what pleasure do they get from adding insult to injury? haha! i quote my thomasian friend (blue eagle din siya kampi nung high school pa, teka, yung ibang fans pa pala ang alam ko sa eagles kampi nung high school, labo talaga, siguro dahil hindi sila pumasa ng acet, diba la rainne?? bakit ikaw hindi ganun?? yan, adding insult to injury na ako, walang pleasure..) "yuck! tinitilian nila yung players dito! nakakasuka!", totoo naman kasing walang katili tili sa mga yun, si taylor na pinakabango tingnan pero hindi pa rin titili..

ang dami ko talagang nasasabi pagkabitter.. haha.. whatever, basta mas magaling talaga ang blue eagles, go jc, go macky, go chris, go doug, go jai pa rin, props to them all.. the best pa rin si norman black. the best pa rin ang blue eagles. lecheng destiny yan, sa kanya nahirapan si intal, haha!

*hindi ko maisip yung term, basta nakakairita

Bye Multiply

By the end of this year, Multiply will no longer be supporting the social networking functions of the site. I was an active user back in 2006-2009, so basically, a lot of college memories were dumped  there. While I don't need to download the pictures because I always keep copies of those, I shall be re-posting some of my old entries here. Multiply devs said they will be providing export tools soon after the announcement but it has been awhile sooo...

Goodbye, minmina.multiply.com July 15, '06 - December 1, '11. It was a good run.

P.S. I won't be reading the blogs, they'll probably be written in bad Filipino. I just want to save the memories ^_^
