99 Balloons

I’ve just came back from our retreat on Caleruega, Tagaytay. Weird stuffs happened (especially on me on our first night on our dorm, I’m still thinking whether I should post that pic or what...) then there were sad things, funny moments and the touchy parts we all experienced during our sessions. But there’s one vid I’ll never forget during one of our sessions, it brought me to tears which I try to stopped because I don’t have any tissues with me... And this is about a boy named Elliot...

I was really touched by this video. The video speaks for itself, so there’s nothing else I can say (eh eh eh...)

Badtrip, continued over the weekend...

Sh*t....that’s all I can say for all the crappy stuff I’ve encountered this weekend. First, the steam-blowing dehydration process over Unit Lab and the lone mode over that Saturday afternoon... Then the most annoying day or should I say one of the most annoying weekends of my life: enduring a rainy and bumpy ride back to Angono and finding the house which I tried my very best to keep in order ruined by my stepdad and his julalay (sidekick or whatevs) who doesn’t even know how to clean a house properly!! Honestly, I really can’t understand why other people can’t see the difference between dirty and immaculate?? How in the hell can’t they tell them apart?? So there goes my OC-ness and all I did for those gruesome moments was stay at my room where the rule of order always takes place (wow).

To tell you the truth, super duper messy stuff keeps me from doing the things I should do:

1) I can’t study (which I don’t usually do at Angono because all my time was devoted to cleaning....)

2) I can’t clean (yes I can’t start if the mess is too much and I prefer to exert my cleaning prowess if no one is around)

AND

3) I can’t wash my clothes (because super messy surroundings turn my mood into super bad that I can’t do anything except curse everyone silently!!!)

---so in the end, I didn’t do anything.... haha.. Then the next day my mom decided to hire a ‘labandera’ to wash our clothes, which resulted to my clothes smelling like smoked leaves.... What the? And my mom paid her??!!?? So are your going to pay someone to wash your clothes only to make them smell more like unwashed clothes?? Haha, this is just so annoying. I washed my mom’s clothes together with mine most of the time and they smell so good and my mom doesn’t even say thank you. Well, let’s just see how she’ll react after wearing those ‘professionally washed’ clothes of hers.... Haha!! Anyway, enough of the sarcasm, I still don’t know what’s wrong with me, so good luck Laiza. Another haggard week is waiting for my unpredictable temper.... Hohoho....

sadnesssss.......................

Hai, wala lang, ang sad-sad ko lang buong week na to. Ewan ko ba, parang sa bawat araw na dumating at lumipas kung natawa man ako or naging masaya parang pilit lang. Parang tumatawa na lang ako for the sake na maflex ko man lang ang facial muscles ko at meju gawing maaliwalas ang pagmumuka kong laging gusot. Nakakainis kasi lagi na lang akong nag-papaapekto sa mga bagay-bagay na di ko naman na dapat isipin kasi wala ring kwenta. Wala din naman akong mapapala kung patuloy ko silang isipin. Mas mabuti pang isipin ko na lang ung MGA patong-patong kong (taenang yan) schoolworks...ang problema nga lang ang naiisip ko ngaun eh yung mga na-take kong quiz this week na panigurado kong bagsak lahat...wahhh, kamusta naman un diba.. Huhu... Ang hirap mag-bago ng study habits pero for the sake to na maka-graduate ako sa tamang oras kaya dapat itodo ko na to. Haha! Eto na nanaman ako nagsasalita ng kung anu2x tas hindi ko naman tutuparin..goodluck Laiza..Nagsasayang lang ako ng effort. Pati dun sa pag-woworry sa mga taong nakikita kong hindi ako feel, bat ko naman iisipin pa yung tingin nila sakin, care ko ba kung di nila ko like. Whatevs.... Sa mga taong nang-ddeadma sakin or nangiirap, IDC. Haha. Sa mga taong pinahahalagahan ko pero parang wla lang din sa kanila, bahala na kayo sa buhay nyo. I’m one step closer to letting you suckers go. Haha....

Taeng yan bakit ba parang ang bitter-bitter ko? Wala lang, kamusta naman at tambay ako dito sa school at wala akong kasama. Haynako, gusto ko pa man ding manuod ng sine, pag di talaga ako nakapag-pigil tangina manonood ako ng cne mamaya (haha, nagiging explicit na ko dito ah)!! Taena kang Gateway ka humanda ka na!!! Umaga pa lang, pambungad sakin eh ang paggising ng 7am, which is time for my only class for this day. Bwiset, 3 oras un, at malamang absent ako, mageeffort pa ba akong pumasok kung bonggang late at haggard din ako pagdating ko dito. Ang ipinasok ko lng nagun ay ang overtime namin sa unit lab at ang tanging napala ko eh mausukan ng bonggang bongga, care of ng steam na nalabas sa shell and tube heat exchanger, lumabas lahat ng cholesterol ko dun pagta-time at pagkuha ng temperature ng lumalabas na condensate na may kasamang bonggang steam. Nakakahaggard. Nakakadehydrate. Nakakapagod. Nakaantok. Nakakabored....at muntikan pa naming maubos ang diesel para sa burner......e anu naman kung maubos naming eh binayaran naming un..haler?? Haha!! Taena badtrip talaga ako ngaun. Bwiset............. wish ko lang makapag-facebook ako mamaya sa bahay... WAG NYO KONG PAGKAITAN NG WIFI!!! utang na loob!! haha!!photosource

Pagod na ko.... haha...

Grabe, ganito ba talaga pag graduating student na??? Sinasadya na nga kaming gawing panggabi, pinagsasabay pa ang mga mabibigat na gawain like deadlines, quizzes, group works, THESIS, etc. Oo nga naman inhinyerong stupidyante ako pero grabe hindi ko na kine-keri ang mga gawain, especially since this is my last academic year (hopefully) sa UST. Pero grabe lang, kung gusto nilang ipadama samin ang real world thru super gabing skeds (up to 9 kami, haleRRRR, night shift??), patong-patong na school paper works at kung anu-anu pa, eh sana sinimulan na nila kaming lagariin nung 1^st year pa lng....at least mahahasa (at malalagas) na kami nun at hindi kami sobrang nash-shock na ngaun lang samin pinapadama ang penitensya ng pagiging eng-eng students. Ayan tuloy nangangayayat na ang mga patabaing baboy na freshly luwas from probinsyas (and in my case, sa kweba) na tumungo ng Maynila makapag-aral lamang. WOW.

Tas isama pa jan ang nosebleed na quiz namin that will really make you think from out of the box..(tama ba ang grammar??xnxa na di ko na kayang i-english tong post ko kasi di ko na kaya.haha!!). Naubos na ang braincells ko lahat napunta na sa bottoms, walang nakuhang distillate. 0% recovery...XLi was not equal to one, my f can’t be solve by my casio fx 991 ms old school calculator (or ang engot lang siguro nung pumipindot) at ang bubble point ko naging equal sa dew point (what the???am bobo talaga.haha).... ay ewan ko sau Lhar at kokey!! este equilibrium stage operations!!! Hay naku isa pa tong problema, siguro hindi ko lang kineri ang 1^st megang-bonggang major quiz ko sa unit3 kasi hindi ako masyadong nag-aral... Jusko graduating na ko cramming pa rin ang teknik ko sa pag-aaral... Alam na kung san ang kababagsakan ko neto....(NOOOOOoooooooOOOOoo!!!! knock on wood 10x). Eto mga dahilan kaya di ako makapag-aral ng maaus: dahil sa pagpe-peysbuk at pagtulog kung kelan gusto...o diba, mga tamang dahilan lang..haha!!!, pati na rin ung pag-uwi ko sa kweba namin sa Angono (wla akong nagagawang matinong homeworks pag nandun ako, kasi atchay mode ako dun tuwing weekends, ang hirap maging OC lalo na’t kung magugulo at makalat ang mga kasama mong tao sa bahay..huhuhu). Tas idagdag mo pa jan ang lablyf kong kasing tuyo ng inalagaan kong cactus....

HAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. NAKAKAPAGOD. NAKAKA-STRESS, NAKAKALOKA. Pero kahit marami akong kelangang gawin eh lagi ko pa ring naisisinigit ang mga least important things sa aking hectic sked!! Like editing this one...

wla lang, ang sarap lang mambaboy ng class picture ng iba, lalo’t hindi pa ko nakakaranas na makasama sa isang class picture sa loob ng 4 na taong buhay ko sa engineering. BTW thanks nga pala sa mga naka-appreciate neto, khit na binaboy ko mga pagmumuka ninyo..hehe.... Sana naman sa huli kong 2 sems (hopefully talaga 2 sems na lng ang itagal ko dito....aukong bumagsak for the 1^st time sa aking last year!! NOOOOOO!!) e makasama na ko sa class pics...utang na loob...haha!! So aun..haha!! geh antok na ko may quiz pa ko bukas matutulog na lang ako (anu to diary???). haha!! night.chow.babush. asta lavista beyotches!!

TO MY DEAREST READERS....... (if there's any)...

Y'all miss me?? (I don't think so..haha!!). Anyway, I just dropped by to tell you why I haven't post for quite some time now... and that's because I'm SUUPER duper busy cramming over my thesis' chapters 1, 2 and 3 which were all due tonight! I'm so happy to finally finish and passed them all before midnight. Hey, I spent 10 hours at school and an extra 1 hour here at home just to finish the whole stuff!! Whew!! I'm so tired so I think that's all I can say..haha!! And now, its time for some partial rest in peace!!! Night2x!!!

My mind was wandering elsewhere while on thesis...

While conducting some ocean optics test on our newly polymerized cuvettes which we'll be using as sensors for fish spoilage, I was wondering why the hell this microscopic-mini-super smaaaalllll 10 mL beakers cost more than it's larger versions... ($38.35 or a whooping 2000 *almost* pesoses!!!)... whew, so always handle those pretty little creations of pyrex with care (just like how my little flabby fingers are demonstrating here) or else....

And why on earth does the cuvette which I hold on for 10 minutes over the sonicator always turn out to be the one with defects (you see here, it should be uniformly green) when I was the one who reluctantly micropippeted the cancerous aniline for the polymerization??? Huhu.... why oh why???!!

Anyway, this dessicator where the aniline laid in silence is very cute..... when I have my own house, I want to buy some lab stuffs because they are so bongga and sosyal to use!! Beakers as water glasses, watch glass as mini plate, volumetric flasks for timplahan ng juice!!, test tubes as shot glasses, dessicator as cookie jar!!.... wee, the possibilities are endless!!

.......and now, back to work... (as a washer....again????)

Want some Face Masks???

With respect to the growing demands on face masks because of A (H1N1), I found some very nice printed face masks on the internet, and yes, this idea is from Japan... If I would wear a face mask, I would love to wear these, (well, I hope these are disposable because DOH said that washable face masks aren’t safe)....

so CUTE!!!!
and my favorites:

This one is perfect for watching UAAP basketballs... GO USTE!!!!

love it!!photos from Yoriko Yoshida Workbook

A (it’s one in one)

So, we received another week of vacation (June 23-28 ‘09) because of a first year engineering student being infected with A (H1H1)... I’ve got to say this flu is such a disturbance to my school work activities... (haha, as if I’m a very busy student). I just don’t like anything this serious disturbing my studies since this is my last year in UST and I really want to keep my focus on academics. I’m sure next week *praying classes will resume next week!* will be another make-up class week for us and hopefully no other cases in engineering and in the UST campus will turn up... goodluck to that!! Wah, make-up classes is what I hate the most; I get very sleepy when I attend this type of classes and my brain can’t keep up with fast discussions, and in addition to that sleepiness and laziness is the thought of seeing only one professor for 5 straight hours (or more)... But aside from this one affecting me and my batch mates, I really wish the spread of this flu will stop because it’s not only me or my batch that are so much affected by this but all of us. Hehe, so take care guys and always observe proper hygiene.

Happy and Sad

It’s just weird to feel these two emotions at the same time.... and I’ve got to say it feels so good...photosource

T.I.M. Y.A.P.s

They say only ugly people love to do the wacky pose in front of the camera...ehem, I’m a living proof that not all of them are ugly (haha!! kapalmuks)... Doing the wacky sh*t face is always a hobby for me ever since I got the courage to do outrageous poses whether I’m in the presence of others or alone. It’s one of my stress relievers - to actually distort my face and make people laugh when they see my f*cking face, that would really make my day. So now...feast your eyes on my T.I.M. Y.A.P. (T*ng Inang Muka Yan, Ang Panget) Collection for the month of June ‘09...

Among the six, which are your favourites? Me, I like the Milo one, it's so hideous kasi..haha!! That’s just 6 of the hundreds I have here..., watch out for my next T.I.M. Y.A.P.s release soon!!
