it's another boring day of doing nothing... i know sometimes doing nothing is very welcoming, especially coming from a long week of stress from projects and exams, but other times, doing nothing is exactly why it's boring... just like today... just like it was yesterday... *sigh* at least tomorrow i get to go to school, only because it's our course card distribution... i practically know i've passed all my subjects, except my thesis, since technically, we wouldn't get any grade yet... anyway...
~
since i have nothing better to do than "waste" my time watching tv and surfing the 'net (you know what, even the 'net gets boring nowadays...), i've been watching stuff that on channels that i won't normally even think twice to watch... and it's turned out to be pretty interesting... hehehe...
i've been watching a show called "sue thomas, f.b.eye", which is about a deaf FBI agent... it's actually interesting to watch, especially when you have to hot guys there. yes, i said hot. haha. this is the first and the last time i'm going to say hot guys. argh. anyway... the storyline's fascinating in such a way that sue thomas cannot hear anything, but aided with her hearing dog, Levi, she makes it through everyday life ok. Her contribution to the FBI is that she could read lips, which makes undercover and "eavesdropping" a whole lot unconscpicous and easier.
another show that i'm looking forward every week is the newest season of Numb3rs.. it's so fascinating to know that math (very, very advanced math, i must add) could actually aid in solving crime... Not to mention it aids the FBI (yes, the FBI again) to actually solve exceptionally hard cases... and take note, these are actually inspired by true events...
there's been this show that i've been following that just went off-air all of a sudden has returned!!!! woohoooo!! thank you crime/suspense! Bones is back!! yeah!! just hope that it's the latest season... =)
anyway, it's already "sue thomas, f.b.eye" so i'll have to end this...

one down...
i have just taken the intreco final exam yesterday and i must say that i felt confident enough about that exam... i just hope that my feeling is correct, though. i really, really, really hope that i pass this dang freakin' subject. it would just suck if i fail this subject... it's going to be my only subject for the next term if i fail this one... *sigh*
one more to go...
it's this freakin' website for interac. our deadline for this project is on the 28th... and i still haven't quite finished it yet... hehe... lack of motivation, you know? i promise i'll finish this by monday... i have to... hehe. i don't even care what my grade will be... i just want it to be done...
something else...
thesis defense are scheduled tomorrow and on friday. i have mixed feelings about this one... i want to watch, but at the same time i don't... i mean, since we're deferred, i want to watch to see how it will go down, but i don't because it's so frustrating, knowing that we could've been one of those people who would defend our thesis... it may seem that i've accepted the fact that we're deferred, but actually, i'm still a little bit bitter about it... i mean, if it weren't for our *cough*beloved*coughcoughcough* mentor, then we would've been one of those defending our thesis... but then again, i had the feeling from the start that we couldn't have finished on time, either... *sigh* oh well...

i CAN'T believe this!!!
21 August 2006
here we have no classes again... because of a freakin' holiday... anyways...
the biggest event of the year just happened. what am i talking about? i'm talking about summerslam. a lot of people may have seen the commercials in jack tv and etc... and i just checked with wwe.com about the results... and i CANNOT believe what happened. seriously. i mean, come on! i know randy orton was asking for it and dx prevailed once more against the mcmahons. but "king" booker AND edge retaining their respective championships because of what? sharmell and lita (respectively)! that is not something i want to see in summerslam... gosh! it's a good thing i didn't waste money going to the pay-per-views in megamall... rip-off! argh!
anyway... i should be reviewing for my economics final exam instead of wasting my time surfing the web for the results of summerslam or even writing in this blog... but i can't help it.. my brain needs a break... i can't study anymore and i still have a lot of paperwork to do... my brain is slowly dying on me if i don't take a break... and its always the time of day that my brain automatically shuts down... i can't explain it, but yeah. anything that's academic-related, my brain shuts down at this time. *shrugs* don't know why...
what really sucks is that freakin' economics professor of mine. very high standards, left the country for a couple of weeks to go to some freaking country, left the class to two very, very inefficient subs, and expects us all to pass the freakin' course. am i the only one who sees that this is sooooo wrong?! argh...
anyway.. i gotta get back to that paper. dang it. the only thing that keeps me going is that this is all going to be over soon... i hope.

09 August 2006
it's 2 days before my birthday... woohoo. haha. i'm supposed to be excited and all that, since my birthday means gifts and money (haha) but honestly, i'm not. i suppose you want to know why? i really can't explain it properly; i suppose that it just comes with age. yup, that's right. age. and i'm not getting any younger.
it's actually funny 'cause before, when i was way younger, nothing seems to matter more than receiving my gifts and my birthday money. i would even go to the extent of reminding everyone that my birthday is coming up as early as june. that's how serious i was about my birthday. this time, however, i didn't quite have the same enthusiasm as before; i actually realized that my birthday was coming up at the start of the month. and by my standards, that's way late. haha. i guess what they say about people growing older: you tend to mature. 'tend' is the key word here. i'm not saying that i'm starting to get all serious and stuff; it's just that there are times that being 'carefree' and materialistic just doesn't cut it anymore. it's like it's about time that i finally have 'substance'. and i guess that's what adds to who i am.
speaking of who i am, now that i'm, let's just say, 'maturing' (hah), i just hope that nobody would try to change me into someone that they deem to be 'better'. i mean, i hope (and i'm crossing my fingers mentally as i type this) that people just accept me the way i am, and not expect me to conform to their ideals and expectations. that's what makes me unique for who i am. maybe i'll try to change a bit, you know, reach a compromise, but that's it. i won't change for someone if it means overhauling my whole personality and bending my beliefs and principles.

i have to wait three more months before i graduate college. now, i don't know whether i'd be happy to stay another term in school, or disappointed that i'd still be dependent and won't be able to do as i please. *sigh* i guess it's a little of both, you know what i mean? i guess i'm glad (in a way, not entirely) that i'd have an extension on actually pondering what's going to happen after college; disappointed because we could've finished the freaking thesis on time if it weren't for the numerous revisions that our *cough* beloved *cough* mentor made us do.
going back on the subject of the future (that sounds a tad intimidating), almost 4 years in college and i still haven't decided what to do after graduation. my mom had asked me a couple of times this year on what i plan to do after graduation, and i immediately answered, 'bum around'. but now it got me thinking: what happens after that? i mean, i am entitled to a few weeks, or maybe months of rest after at least 17 years of studying (it's been that long?!), but after this, what then? i haven't really given it much thought, and now, i am. i would definitely want to work in the field related to my study (which is organizational communication) which means that i'd really prefer to work in the corporate environment. i've actually given it serious thought to work in the WWE corporate headquarters, but even that seems a little far-fetched. i need to find work related to media and the corporation somewhere here in the philippines, but let's face it, there are just not that much options here. i guess that's one of the reasons that many filipinos would want to work abroad.
speaking of working abroad (yes, it's the second time i've used 'speaking of'), i've been hearing or reading stuff that you know, question the nationalism of these filipinos. like what my professor in history of civilizations said, it doesn't matter where you are, or what language you use, just as long as in your heart, you still hold the philippines dear in what you do. i have to agree. although i say: being nationalistic doesn't mean you have to endure everything happening in the philippines, or you have to stubbornly stay in the country although you know that you're going to go nowhere. it's about improving your own life as well as others', and it doesn't matter how you get it (as long as it's legal ;D). being nationalistic doens't mean that you would march head on in rallies and demonstrations opposing everything taht could be opposed. it's just being 'pinoy' at heart and living 'pinoy'.

my, my. isn't this an interesting blog entry. too many ideas cramped into so little space, so little time. haha. it's one of these rare moments where i actually make sense, or so i think. =D haha. anyway, i guess it's time to end this very long entry, my longest one yet (for the record! ha! as if i'm keeping record. haha). oh well... till my next 'serious' moment. haha

been thinking....
01 august 2006
wow! an entry on the first of the month... haha...
~
i've been thinking... isn't it weird in a way why the wizarding world in harry potter have no clue about technology or technological advances? or the sciences, for that matter? i mean, what era is harry potter supposed to be living in? i'm assuming that harry lives in this century, because his uncle and aunt's place has tv, playstation, computer games, etc... why, then, hasn't the wizarding community kept up-to-date? we (that is, my cousin and I) were watching harry potter and the goblet of fire on dvd, and well, an old fashioned turntable (you get what i mean?)?? i mean, there are cds and radios and stuff like that, and i also know that muggle equipment cannot function properly inside hogwarts, but how come there aren't magical cd players or computers? wala lang. i was just thinking... why don't they have internet? i mean, they could call it the world wizarding web or something like that? *sigh* anyways....
~
oh. haha. i just remembered. our thesis: deferred. haha. means i won't be graduating on october. one more term. haha. i must loooove dlsu so much that i still don't want to go. haha.
~
i'm already excited. for what? the WWE SmackDown Survivor Series Tour (kailangan kumpleto. libre plugging na rin to. =D). i've already got my ticket. have you got yours??? =P
~
*sigh*. my birthday's coming up... again. not that i'm against celebrating my birthday, but i'm not quite keen on the idea anymore. maybe because i'm turning 21... oh well. you get older...
