I am HD

Yes I will! I will! I will!

I was devastated and blown away by my Calculus quiz#5 just recently. I couldn't sleep because of it. Damn. And the moment I woke up, that's what I remembered. Oh my. I was that frustrated! I reviewed for that quiz till 2am, so I thought I'll do good. And Sir told us that he's expecting a lot of u to get perfect scores because the quiz'll be easy. I don't know what had gotten into me that I was blown away by it. :(( There were a lot of erasures, a lot of confusion, and all that. I'll pass that quiz but I know my score will not be my usual. Kainis talaga.

I was also tanga in our Physics quiz#3. Why didn't I read the problem carefully?? What happened to me! Kainis! I can get a perfect score from that quiz! Pero. Pero. Kainis!

Our Comp prelims was given back to us (finally!). It was a career-low score for me. 57/100!!! NAMAN!! All of us got low scores on that. Grabe. I know I found the prelims hard, but I didn't expect that I'd get a score as low as 57. Grabe naman. I think it was only 10 of us who got a grade above the passing. Pero I don't care, coz my grade was almost pasang-awa. So my partial average in Comp is now just 62. :(

We still have one quiz to go for each of these subjects before the final exams. The bottom line-- BABAWI AKO!! This weekend, I'll be studying for Computer and Physics na. And I'll be preparing early for Calculus. Humanda ang last quizzes! Ibabawi ko talaga ang grades ko!

A lot of people's been wondering why am I so fussy about my grades, as if I'll fail. I know I won't fail. It's just that school is so important to me. It's the only place where I feel good at the things I do, and it's the only place where all my hardworks get recognized all the time. During the time when I felt very unappreciated, it was the school and my teachers who gave all the appreciation and recognition that I need to boost myself up. School is my haven, school is my comfort nook albeit the stress surrounding me there all the time.

So, yesterday, February 17,2009, I woke up with nothing on my mind. I just told myself, "hey I'm eighteen!", then I'm off to my usual routines. Didn't even do something special about my hair! What a debutante. I said my morning and birthday prayer, then I was good to go.

My mom is celebrating her 41st birthday today! :D Happy birthday Mom! You're the best! I never thought that my momma and I will get as close as we are now. Since my first year in college, we have started talking a lot more times than we have talked for the past 16years. College is a blessing to my relationship with my mom. Now she's my best friend and I always look forward to going home for me to talk to her about anything under the sun.

Love you mom!

The faculty of engineering had its annual parade for the opening of our Eng Week. I'm not proud of our college week. It's the most boring and the most "so-whatever" of all college weeks. Engineers do lack the sense of creativity, excitement and time for non-academic events. :P

Feeling akin yung Holga ni Alom.

and feeling artista sa super shades ni Tope. :P

Gossip Girl ang theme ng tambay session namin this Friday, coz Friday is PE day. We have to wait for three long hours just for our PE. :( Here's a shocker! I did great on our shooting test!! 3/3 sa free throw shot! That's worth 15 points! My total score was 33, and our highest was 37. I'm second to the highest! :D :D

I came across a very pretty blog in tumblr. I decided na gayahin ang concept(concept lang! :P)nya, so eto na! New layout!! It's the best layout I ever made. As in made made, coz I made it out from scratch. Minima was my base template. I'm getting better at this, you know. Hehe.

It's February already! It's LOVE MONTH!

Bataan experience Part I.

It was an experience after all. It's my first time in Bataan, to teach kids, and to be part of a community service.

My learner's name is Luisa. She's a very quiet kid, and even too small for an eight-year old. I chose her because I felt some pang of pity when I saw her so aloof and quiet in the middle of a very excited and hyperactive crowd of kids. Then, our facilitator told us that we need to teach two more students since there came a lack of teachers. My other two learners are Crystal and Emman. Emman is so gwapo! He might pass for a child star role. I even asked him if he fancy being a child star, but he told me that all he wants is to draw and play. Kids.

Teaching Emman and Crystal is very easy. They're so jolly and bibo. I don't even do the kid-talk when I teach them. I feel like I'm just talking to Vanessa. But Lucia is being hard. She's very quiet and it seemed like she did not want to be there. What shocked me most was that she don't know how to add single-digit numbers! Come to think of it, our lesson plan was about multiplication by two's and three's yet my learner doesn't even know how to add. Wah. So I had no choice but to teach her how to add. All these months, what have they been teaching her??

//Sigh.
That experience made me feel so blessed and thankful. I am looking forward to the two more trips in Bataan next week. I want to teach them some more. Plus the fact that I am enjoying some out-of-town activities with my fellow Eng'g schoolmates.

Some more LTS pics on my flickr account.

I've started reading "The Green Mile". Its pace is a slower than the other novels. But I tell you, it's waaaaay slower than SS' novels. But I think the slow pace is because the novel is released series per series. It's like a hundred pages per series. But I bought the complete serial novel so I have to keep up with its pace. Bibitinin ko nalang sarili ko every after series. HEHE.

Nagdidiet ako, okay? I have been skipping dinner for more than a week already. It's getting to be an acquired habit.

School's making me busy. Gosh. We've got a lot of things to do before the Eng'g Week. Quizzes, reports, homeworks. WAH. Which reminds me that I have to go now. I'll take a quick rest then hit my Calculus book right away.

I don't think this blog will be getting some more often updates from now on. Kasi nakakatamad sa Blogger!! Grrr. But I'll be keeping this, still. It's my oldest blog aside from my Multiply. Hehe.
Sige babu.
