Enter Sophomore CHIPPY!. Summer came and went like a squall- school season is here again. Say hello to Human Anatomy, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry.



Formerly known as airice.

I'm saying goodbye to my Tabulas, and I'm moving to the big city, Livejournal. Tabulas service has been exceptionally generous and I'm so glad I grew up in this wonderful place. May Roy Kim always be blessed fruitfully.

In all honesty, it is not my complete desire to move. I still can't find the concise reason why, though. But this place will still always be open for me to come home to.

I still can't completely get over my terrible Compu25 intructor in uni. I say he is- and I DO NOT like him all! What do you have to say about profs who do not give their students the grade that they deserve? He gave us the right to ask why we have such grades, then gets all ticked off and bad mood-ish when we do! Darn! You gave us the choice, man!

The situation is.. there's these two classmates of mine. We three do fairly the same on our work projects. We have perfect attendance. Well- the one of the two was even absent, and didn't complete some of the works. Sir grades them with whooping 1.1 and a 1.2. Sedating! THEN GUESS WHAT! YES! HE GAVE ME A BLOODY LOW 1.7! WTFISH! What is the explanation of this?! I asked Sir and he showed me my grades, but I couldn't really translate the worksheet into normal language. I stood there standing, pretending to understand, pretending to think this grade was what I deserved. We all though it was darn peculiar! The two classmates I have mentioned also thought their grades were a tad too high, and to think Sir said they "failed" the midterm exam. WHAT ON EARTH MAN! I don't understand!!! I'm not asking Sir to give them lower grades, but I want my grades pulled up! Pulled up to 1.2! 1.1! Even 1.0- because if their grades weren't mistaken, then my correct grade would be that! Damn.

We questioned no further because as I have mentioned, he seemed like he was ticked off and irritated by our measly presence before him. If he cheats on my grades then I am not willing to try hard on his class anymore! I do all my best, complete all my projects, attend all your classes, passed your exams, and you've skipped on us more than once then you give me that score? And you don't like it when we ask you questions? And you even show favoritism? (that was out of topic, lol)

What kind of a...? GIVE ME A STUDENT'S EVALUATION SHEET PLEASE! That's all the power I have over you, and I know that's not even enough. I do not like you at all. What is up with all our male instructors?!

Anyway, there's nothing I can do about it, sadly. I just pray he won't give me something lower than a 2 come this finals.

Change topic. ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY! I'm so glad it's a Sunday this year. I do not like it when it's a schoolday or when I'm around people. I do not want them to feel obligated to remember my birthday, then greet me. It's awkward when you also have to let people feel obligated to give you gifts. I also do NOT like it coz I feel there is a need to treat people. Urgh. At least this time, it's just my family then we're gonna have our usual lunch-out, except to a more sophisticated one because of the occassion?

Going out with my friends tomorrow night to watch movie! Yey! Night out!

Do not get drunk on wine... Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Eph. 5:18

A belated happy birthday to my good and crazy friend, Mikko Tan! Thanks to the party you threw, I had my first friendly experience with alcohol, which has told me: alcohol is not the way to go for me! Haha.

About the verse, yes, what is the parallelism of drunkenness and being filled with the Spirit? Let me tell you, it is just the same except for the part where alcohol is "bad" and the Spirit is, of course, "good". When you drink lots of alcohol, you get drunk, therefore you are no longer under control of yourself, but alco does. That is the same concept with being filled with the Holy Spirit! Simple logic, isn't it?

Anyway, to make this blog entry short here are some pics from Mikko's drunkfest!

A whole class.. or something like that.

The beginning of drunken symptoms.

That kamikaze killer I was drinking stopped having that alcohol smell and began to start tasting like mere lime juice! Well, for the record, it is my first time so I know nothing about the drinking world! I just drank and drank while watching everyone else dance and make fun of themselves. And anyway, Mikko didn't mind me having ordering more drinks.

Mikko drinking some of the killers.

According to JV, there are three levels of the drinking effect. Level 1- tipsy. Level 2- drunk. Level 3- wasted. Just as I had described awhile ago, being drunk is giving alcohol control of your actions, and you go crazy and out of control. This happened to Mikko! We never saw her as crazy as before!

However, proud to say I skipped level 2, and went immediately to number 3. Yes proud! I am a weak drinker! I just had two glasses of vodka and two hours later I was wasted, puking on the floor of a karaoke place. Thankfully, I was still under full control of myself and remember every detail like it was a normal night. My head hurt like crazy, I felt like I was gonna die from a fever that night. When I went home, I wanted to sleep immediately. To my dismay, that wasn't possible. I still puked a few more rounds and had to mop the slimy evil up myself. That night, I told myself: "Only one glass of kamikaze next time!"

The after party was at POD5. Mikko has no memory of these pictures being taken.

Thanks to all you guys for the crazed fun! Next time, let's drink some Holy Spirit and get drunk with it!

 

Oh my goodness! Can't believe I would be doing this. If I cannot use the simple editor here in Tabu again I shall now start to make myself comfortable by moving to a livejournal account!!!!

Bring Me Down by Pillar

Today: Friday. MIDTERM WEEK IS OVER! Hallelujah.

This week had an equal share of stress and rest. It's been a long time since I tried staying up late to study for the next day's test and only until recently I experienced it again. We all know it's expected I take a break from that. But thankfully all the bad stress have been shaved off the previous week when we had five major exams in row for a day! Pre-midterm preparations? I think so too. I hope next week compensates for all this. Why? Coz it's almost Intramurals/ University Week!

Hooray! University schedules events so cleverly. After a long week of exams, comes an equally long week of complete no-schoolness! I say that's a good reward to all students especially to those who studied hard (yes- study hard means the effort of studying). And I qualify as someone who does. Although I do, my exam marks don't really show it. Hahaha! I'm sure there are many who understand this frustration. If you don't, then you must have a seriously considerate professor.

It can't be help but said: I feel free from the burden of upcoming exams. There's nothing major nor academic to do tomorrow and I think that's a really good feeling. ah.

Today some of my classmates and I went to the Mall basically to unwind. So we did elementary malling! And also chika- now that I had to learn after I graduated from high school. You know, at least it's the good kind. Talking and giving advice to each other about guys. o.O ahem.



TIMEZONE! Yeah- talk about elementary. Haha.


STAGE FAILED. Boohoo.

By the way, in school Jessy came around telling us some stuff that should wake us up. Personal stuff. About our so-called high standards, issues of being NBSBs, and codenames. Yeah, I agree, although not completely wholely. Thanks, Jess. You speak truthful words.

I also lifted some rocks off my shoulder today:
○ SONICFLOOd concert tickets finally purchased after deciding whether or not after two long months!
○ I bought Breaking Dawn (Stephenie Meyers) for Mikko whose birthday is coming up on the 19th. Now all I have to think about is what I should wear on her birthday celebration!

Next week!
○ University Run- thus, PROBABLY another sleepover at Aimee's so we wake up and go to school together. Wehoo.
○ The sonicflood concert!
○ Rebond??? (To keep me from cutting my hair short.)

GOD Bless you all! Have a productive week.

The Lord will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. _{1 Cor. 4:5}

Think about it. It just happened to someone I know.

All the love stories I'm hearing about are making me sick. Boy and girl acting like real lovers, breaking up, making up, with the involvement of hearts actually practically breaking into pieces- all these happening even though they're not even in the real relationship yet.

Why can't the love stories I know about just be sweet and simple? It's what neophytes like me need to hear about- so at least we could look forward to something like it when I finally fall in love.

It's not as easy as you think, I know you're saying that to me, and I know that already. Or maybe this is a message from God saying to me: "Look around you. This mess involved with love isn't meant for the life you want. You're blessed with singleness!" Damn! I can't accept that yet!

As you can read- I'm gonna blog about the unfortunate situation my friend, a classmate, is experiencing. You see, from the title pa lang, it's about "the other woman." Doesn't everyone have the same reaction when it comes to hearing this? Wouldn't you immediately feel some scorn for her when she comes on to a man whom she knows is already taken? No one's going there yet. Our friend here I'm talking about is the other woman.

I'm watching gossip girl now. Maybe I should act as Gossip Girl here, you know? Blogging and sharing about the juiciest gossips. Oh wait. You all know who I am.

And by the way- let's just take this lightly because, well, who says you can trust things on the Internet? Haha!

Nolita Fairytale by Vanessa Carlton

Hello, blog. I manage to finally blog after a month of idleness. Yes, I was supposed to postpone this blogging chore to another more interesting day- but I can see to it that my days are not getting any more interesting than it looks like. Not that I want anything surprising (initially, I hate surprises!)- I think I'm contented with repetitive days.

You see- I'm living the typical student life: Not using the computer so I could do what's left of my homework or study, sleeping early, waking early and managing to be just a tad late for class. If I were to be in a movie, you can just see me as the background supporting people while the protagonist weasels her way out of her secret messed up life that deals with werewolves (vampires, supernatural, etc...?) trying to make it normal again.

About the blog title- I was getting to that, but I can't stand it if I don't have long and vain introductions about myself (haha, kidding). Yes, I am currently avoiding two people in school right now. It's not that I hate them (seriously, I have turned off that option decidingly not very long ago).

(silent treatment)

~**PICTURE GALORE**~

Jao and myself. I hate that I have to mosaic over Jao's pretty face. This is a really good picture but NO ONE can ever convince Jao that she looks okay- she always thinks she's not pretty, she looks hideous, etc etc etc. So I'm only doing this out of respect to her. huhu.

Something I recently realized that I need to keep telling myself over and over. Over and over because I am someone who doesn't always believe what she keeps telling herself.

Starting now? Well, I hope I can get along amongst my so-called multiple personalities.

I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. Eh.

How? How can it happen when I'm practically from another galaxy?

Theme: Wonders Beyond Our Galaxy
Venue: El Salvador Beach Resort, Danao City, Cebu
Date: May 25- 28, 2008 (Sunday to Wednesday).

I thank GOD I went to this activity entirely for free. Yeah, Mikko's mom sponsored for me.

By the way, may I mention I do not know how to blog anymore? Really. Let me just post several photos and add captions.

The entire universe can just be measured by the span of GOD's hands. Can you just imagine how tiny the galaxies are? And how big, literally BIG, GOD is! (Excuse the pathetic understatements- I am not sufficed enough of words to describe this properly.)

Anyway, makes you think why GOD greatly cares for us, in lengths the universe cannot measure, that he sends us His one and only Son to the cross- despite our major insignificant existence. Also, makes you ponder upon the fact why we have to study cells and atoms when we ourselves are already microscopic!



Mikko sleeping on the way to the resort. She must've lacked sleep that night.. or she just gets bored on roadtrips. Short roadtrips, I shall say. Danao is not that for from Cebu City, compared to Bantayan or somewhere further. It's just like 30 minutes riding in a fast vehicle.


We just landed by the time this photo was taken.

It was so cool, they used the word landing for the time we arrived. When it's breakfast time- they call it feeding the heavenly bodies.
Snack time- it was Cosmic Picnic! Bwahaha so darn funny.
Lunch- Big Bang Buffet.
If you get the gist, the theme of the camp was Wonders Beyond our Galaxy, so it's quite amusing they put a creative twist to the schedule.

Dr. Omar Franco was the theme speaker. There was one topic when he really got deep into all the science stuff- like prebiotic soup (and I don't know what that is). I didn't really know what he was talking about, but, basically, he was disproving them and making a point that what the Bible says is true. No need to get some of us lifelong Christians into that topic- we believe in Genesis 1 credulously.

(more ramblings and photos)

I AM SO NOT USING MULTIPLY TO HOST MY PHOTOS ANYMORE!! Their service is good but their hosting is quite terrible, your portrait photo simply soon becomes the Multiply logo. .


SO CUTE AND HILARIOUS!!!!

and people would be wondering, what's so cute and hilarious about this logo??!

From what I said- I was reading Twilight. And there's a movie COMING UP!!!! GYAAAAAH!! *fangirly~~~* Although it's scheduled to be released on December 2008. Ha-ha-ha. But I have all the time to read all the books anyway. Though not the money.


Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as Edward and Bella. I do not know Robert Pattinson, but I think I love him already. Hahaha.

GOD bless you all!

edit:
AND WHAT IS UP WITH THE BROKEN LINKS? I CAN'T READ BEYOND THE ENTRY BREAK!! Every time I click to comment it becomes like this:



NOOO! Hope this will be fixed soon coz I did not do anything to screw this thing up.
