Random Post (Oh no not again!)

What's up people?

Next week is going to be packed with quizzes and reports to submit. And I can't seem to start with them right now because I still have to work on my sister's project. Here's a tip to the grade school teachers: Never assign projects that you perfectly know eight-year-old-students cannot do. Or perhaps they can do it but it won't look like a project at all. I mean who are you fooling? You are going to spend hours on grading projects that, clearly as the sunshine, were done by your students' parents, siblings or even neighbors. Follow my advice and you'll do yourselves a favor.

But enough talk about next week. Here's what happened last week.

• I bought a new calculator! :D It's the Sharp EL-W506. I wasn't supposed to buy a new one yet but we're now solving phasors in EE, and my old calculator seems to have difficulty solving it. And it's time to move on -- from one calculator to another. HEHE.
• I also purchased a hard-bound copy of The Da Vinci Code for only Php255.00. ;P
  
• New hurrcut. As in new. It's my first time to sport heavy layers. I mean my hair is now layered three inches from the top. So in other words, I am not only sporting the layers, also the waves and the fly-aways. Noooooo.

• Nahigad yung braso ko. Shet. Puro pantal grabe. Anyway, what's the english of higad? Hehe.
  
• Yesssss. I am done with the first season of How I Met Your Mother. Season 2 is going to be legendary! Suit up! :P
• And I finally got to watch G.I. Joe with my family. I LIKED IT. Even more than Transformers 2. Definitely a good popcorn movie. It's very entertaining and well, full of action. There were scenes when I was already at the edge of my seat. Nacarried away eh. Haha.
  

This is so random, I am running out of things to say. Have to say bye. May you have a good week ahead of you. God Bless. Muaa. :P

P.S. Bakit ganon? Tagalog ung Google Chrome ko.

Time to unwind!

Yeah. Our prelims was so stressful and so tiring that's why our block decided to have an outing as a way to unwind and bond. But it's not really an "outing" for me because it was in Kalugdan Resort, Ligas Bacoor, Cavite. Ang layo noh? Haha. Well I should be thankful anyhow because I wouldnt've been there if they went some far place else. As if my parents will allow me to swim anywhere further.

So it was last Thursay, August 20 '09 when all these happened.

Started the night by eating and taking pictures. The food was delicious! Thanks to Jepay for all the preparations!

Jump shots, horror shots and whatever-you-call shots. There're a lot of scandalous shots taken. It took me all the energy to muster so that I wouldn't post them here lest I'm dead the next moment I meet Tom. Hehe.

The guys were drinking a lot that night so most of them were knocked out before dawn. They don't even know what their talking about. "Don't naked me!" "Don't shackle me!" "Sino lasheng?" Haha! Dang! It was my first time to talk to drunk men.
Well, I have a picture looking drunk (and molested. HAHA) because I accidentally fell asleep. But believe me, I was alcohol-free that time. I was the good girl in the group kasi hindi ako umiinom e. Hihi.

Packed up at 5am and went home by 6am. Honestly I barely have no idea until now how the drunken guys manage their way home.

It was a very different and new experience for me. The next time I'll be part of one,I wish I'm with the 2-3 friends :-)

I lost it all when I walked away from You

My best friend, Debb, came over to our house a while ago to visit me and have some chat. It's been a very long time since we last talked. I admit that most of it was my fault because I keep on distancing myself from them for so many months already. But I regret having done it all when Debb finally came over. When she came, I realized that I missed her a lot! It's really different when it's your best friend/almost-sister who's with you. It brought back all the good memories when we were together. All the laughter, the nonsense talks, the bonding.. everything! But as I look back, it feels that all those memories are part of another world. The memories seem so clear yet so distant. The happy and carefree girl who's inseperable from Deb and Eric, who is she? We seem so different I don't even know if my memory serves me right; if she was Heidy and I am still Heidy.

Where is she? The Heidy who never loses her faith in her Lord and Savior, the Heidy who wakes up with smile and excitement knowing that God has planned a good day for her, the Heidy who's optimistic; where is she? After three years, what have become of me? Someone who always whines about her pain, who wakes up without feeling anything and goes home empty and bitter, and who always pities herself -- is this what I have become?

I tried to keep it all to myself. I forgot that I have a family who can listen to me any time. I forgot that I have Debb, who also had recently gone through a tough period of her life can understand me the most. I forgot that I have my best friends who will never judge me. I forgot about Heidy, the old me.

I've always been happy about myself, about my life, about who I am. But things turned the other way around and started toppling over. Now I don't even know myself. It's painful. The thought always makes me cry even right now.

But whatever it takes, I'll start building my life again. I'll start over. I'll get back to You, Jesus. I'm sorry for making You wait.

The Pursuit of Happiness

"On this day of your life, Heidy, we believe God wants you to know...
... that happiness has nothing to do with pleasure.

You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it. Or when you don't want something and you remove it. Pleasure is always relative. Happiness is absolute. Happiness is the understanding and acceptance of life as it is in this very moment as completely perfect, because every creation of God is perfect. The degree to which you do not accept life in all of the Divine forms is the degree to which you suffer."

Maybe God really used this Facebook application to let me actually know this. Or maybe it's just coincidence. Maybe not, coz I don't believe in coincidence. But this message is exactly what describes my life right now for the past months. The message hit me right smack in the bull's eye. Yes, happiness is something absolute and that's something I have to learn. Happiness, as the cliche goes, is a choice. It's my choice to be happy and accept life as it is. God didn't say that life will be perfect for me. But He promised to never leave my side. He promised to never leave me crying all alone. He promised to give me strength every time I am feeling weak and frail. And these are enough to make me happy. Real happy.

I realised that if I am looking for something that'd make me happy, what I'd get isn't happiness but pleasure. Happiness is something God planted deep in our hearts. We just have to look for it --not from what the world can give us, not from the outside, but fromwithin us. It's something easier-said-than-done but isn't finding the absolute happiness in our lives is worth all the hardwork? :-)

ALL THE SUPERS.

I have been surfing the net all day. I've not updated myself with what's new for more than a week already. I've been exploring all these sites and I found these:

1. Super cool and super good shots! It caught my eye and I fell in love with it at a heartbeat.

I wish I can do these jumpshots! :-)

Dont you think fisheye rocks?


I don't know how photographers call this kind of technique. Making the photo look old. Whatever that is. It's beautiful!


Copyright belongs to all the super talented photographers in Photobucket. Click on the pictures to see more of their shots.

2. Ze supermodels!

Agyness Deyn, Giselle Bundchen and Heidi Klum. I'm not a fan of their waifish figure. But I love the way they carry it as if it's the best type of figure in the world (though it's really not.)

P.S. Old theme. New header. New width. Some new colors.

a happy update after this.

Last night while I was studying for EE, I was shocked to see my dad eat his breakfast at 1:30am. I was wondering at first, then I realized that he was about to go to work at 2am! He barely got some sleep and that hit me hard. I mean, I am always, always complaining to them about the hard course subjects and all these majoring stuffs that keep me awake ‘til 2am almost every night. But here’s my dad who’s already awake at 2am just to go earn for our family. He attends to all the demands of his work, answers all messages even if he’s already sleeping and goes to work even during Saturdays and holidays yet I do not hear any complains from him.

After that, I felt that I am obliged to study hard and give my best shot. Not that they are obliging me, but what else can I do to repay all these sacrifices? I can’t do anything else besides give them good grades – good grades which I am having difficulty to earn this semester. That’s why I have to work extra hard on our prelims. Which reminds me, why am I online and actually blogging? Haha. Man, I should start on Mech. Will update after the exams. |BIG GRIN|. Bye!

P.S. Our pastor said yesterday, “Wag po nating pilitin na gawin ang lahat ng bagay mag-isa dahil hindi po ninyo kakayanin. You have the Lord Jesus Christ as your partner. Rest in Him. He will not leave you.” Jesus is my partner during this time. I declare high grades in all the prelim exams in Jesus’ name. Amen.

P.P.S. God loves you.

UPDATE

QUIZ 1 IN CIRCUITS FLOPPED.My goodness. Bat ganon? 3days kong inaral yun!!! :(( I really don't want to talk about it so I wouldn't blog about that damned quiz. Baka mapaiyak lang ako habang nagtytype. :'(

We have A LOT of quizzes next week. Anal Chem, Org Chem, Diff Equations, Mechanics and EElab. And the prelim exam week comes the week after that. Whew.

I left my laptop's charger back at the dorm! Errr.

Yaaaaaay!! My brother bought me a DVD of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince!! Will watch it tomorrow! :)

What a very nonsense update. I'm sleepy. Good night.

P.S. Sometimes being with people is painful. I know it's not the right thing to feel, but there are moments, worst moments, that even their simple stares hurt.
