I am HD

"Five years ago, I never thought I'll be dealing with batch reactors and all the unit operations stuff when I wrote 'BS Chemical Engineering' in my application form."

Yes friends. I am quoting myself. 

I promised myself not to write anything about my school problems here in this blog because I feel that its useless. But I realized that school's really a big part of my life. 90% of what I am doing every single day is because of school. So how about I share a bit of the life that I'm talking about? It's a long winding road to the bottom line, alright? 

Years ago, when I was just choosing my course, all that ever came to my mind is to take up Engineering. Then my teachers and friends would ask "What field?" then I would always say "I still don't know. Any field as long as its Engineering." See, I always wanted to become an engineer, just like my father. My father had nothing and everything to do with my choice. Following his footsteps and being pressured by my family surely did not happen. But seeing him doing all the engineer stuff made me like it. When you are an engineer, you have to know everything down to the very last detail. Precision and accuracy matters. I saw that in my father's profession, and I fell in love with it.

My first half in college was not so smooth-flowing, but it was the easiest. Easiest in a way that I was never bothered of the path that I took. All I had to study were Math stuffs and some programming and I seriously enjoyed it.


Halftime made me realize that I am majoring the right course. None of the other majors would ever work for me and my interests (Duh, EE!).

It's now the second half of my journey. It barely even started but I'm already tired. Honestly. I'm gonna kill myself for having to admit this, but right now I'm not happy with my major. Period. I could see the end of the road but I can't see myself at the other side. Now that I'm having the glimpse of what it's like to be in the real world, I doubt that I'd like to do any of the job descriptions that a chemical engineer does. Maybe that's one major reason why I loosened up this semester (yeah my grades got wounded because of that). Add the fact that what used to be the working proportionality of my labor(the amount of my study time is directly proportional to the amount of points I get) isn't working anymore.


It's just losing the mojo. It's just a cool off. I just need a timeout. I always say these things to myself. Deep inside, I know that this is for me. That nothing else will ever work for me but this. There's no turning back. I just have to find my happy place in my chosen road.

Have you ever experienced a time when you tried to pause everything and suddenly thought "What on earth happened to me?" You tried to look back to your past life and everything's changed. You don't know yourself anymore. I dunno if it's part of the making-the-most-out-of-your-teenage-life stage but one thing's for sure: I'm different than before. I'm not sure I'm liking it.

Title: My Girlfriend is a Gumiho
Year: 2010
Category: TV Series (Korean)
Rating:  Pure Awesome Sauce!



Actually, I don’t know if any of you knows what I’ll be blabbering about, but what the hell.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is a new drama of the famous Hong Sisters (they are the writers of My Girl and You’re Beautiful) which just aired last August 11. It stars Lee Seung Gi, of Shining Inheritance, and Shin Min ah.

It is a story about a guy (a beta-male, clumsy and dumb guy he is) who accidentally frees a nine-tailed fox also called as a gumiho, who’s been locked in a painting for 500 years. When he was dying because he fell from a cliff, the gumiho gives her bead (kinda like the source of her powers) to heal the guy. However, the doctor’s fee has to cost him a lot of cow’s meat and patience because the gumiho, having given to him the source of her powers, has to stick with him all.the.time. And so the journey starts. ;)




I love this drama because the story is so fresh! Too cute for words, actually. It’s only once in a blue moon that beta-male leads the story because it’s always the cold and mysterious who’s winning everybody’s hearts. Ehem. I seriously am thanking everyone involved for not casting Sandara Park for the role. Shin Min Ah is so perfect in portraying the gumiho that I am thinking that it's her past life. That adorable fox makes me giggle all the time. Tee hee.


You might have noticed that I watch a number of Korean dramas. It’s because I’m a sucker for the cute and Korean romcoms give all the cute that I need. There’s always a fresh and very light story ahead, comic relief and less angst. It’s enough to make my day.

Well since I'm a pretty boring person and I couldn't think of anything fun to say about my life (ormaybe I'm becoming a private person), I came up with a weekly drama/movie review thingy. Just something that would keep me blogging every week.

Before somebody starts yelling at me because I bashed their favorite show, please know that this is how I rate stuffs. 

"I just can't find a reason to like it"
No sense, BORING and totally not my type. If it's romcom, I find all the humor on it as stupid. If it's drama, I can't relate and understand what's all the crying all about. Now for being "boring", I watch some laid-back, mellow and quiet movies and I have to admit that I have to have a lot of driving force to get to the half of it. Pero may taste naman ako, and I know the difference between "artistic silence" and boring. (e.g. Confessions of a Teenage Dramaqueen, The Breakup, One Tree Hill, TWILIGHT!)

"Good cast;horrible project"
Q: Uy maganda ba yung movie?
A: ANG GWAPO NI ZAC EFRON!

All that is to blame is their decision why they took on that horrible project. (e.g. Mean Girls, 17Again, I Know Who Killed Me, Prison Break season4) Or probably those dramas/movies who stars your favorite actors so all the while you're anticipating it got you disappointed when you finally saw it. And you have no choice but to finish it because your lovey is there. (e.g. 17Again again, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, New Moon)

"Meh"
Just so-so. It got you entertained for the whole time, not bad, but also not recommendable. Those that won't come out of your mouth after you've seen it. (e.g. From Paris with Love, Terminator Salvation, Men in Black, Chuck, Gossip Girl)

"Worth the time"
A good movie that kept me hooked for the whole time, didn't get me bored and definitely worth my 200 peso-ticket...or my 8hours of downloading or my marathon time. And it's something I can recommend. (e.g. Pursuit of Happyness, She's the Man, Avatar, Step-up 1, Time Traveler's Wife) 

"Pure awesome sauce!"
The 5/5stars. The additional chills, goosebumps and elated emotions draws the line between this and the former rating. It's the kind of movie/series that will make me update my Facebook page and add it to my favorites. You know what I mean. I will remember it like, forever. (e.g. Hard Candy, The Classic, If Only, How I Met Your Mother, The Patriot, Titanic)

Just remember. Different opinions, different tastes.

I think this is going to be fun! Can't wait to start it.
