... my new blog. "See" you there!

To the people who keep me going, those who keep me strong and those who give me inspiration to write here,

to Blogdrive, for allowing me to be read and recognized, even if I'm not good at writing and even if the posts are too personal and sometimes cryptic,

and to everyone who took time to read this blog (at one point or another),

thank you.

Is this an acceptance speech for bagging "The Dullest Blog" award?

Haha. No.  I just think a little thank you is necessary.

I guess, it's that one phrase I know that looks and sounds good, whatever the occasion is.

Especially if it's pre-goodbye.

Ang tagal ko na palang di nagsusulat ng Tagalog (o Filipino na mas politically correct) entry.  Nakakatawa kasi, parang ayoko nang magsulat ng Tagalog kasi hindi ko kayang diretso at walang sablay.  Ayoko ng Taglish, kaya nag-English na lang ako dun sa mga nauna kong posts.

Hay!  Ang pangit pala ng dating at tunog nung 1st paragraph.  Hindi na nga reader-friendly** (may ganung term ba o inimbento lang namin ni May para idescribe kung ano ang kabaligtaran ng Arfken?) hindi rin tunog coversational.  Yak.  Hindi ko talaga kaya ng straight Tagalog.  Straight English na lang siguro.  Kaya lang naman ako napag-isip nito dahil una, naiimpluwensyahan na ata ako ng Fil40 class ko.  Pangalawa, magpapaalam na tong blog na to.  Just two more posts and it's bye bye blog.  May naisip na nga akong bagong tema.  Kelangan ko na lang ma-work out kung paano ko i-eexecute.  Gusto ko kasing maging mas maganda yung bagong blog ko.

Ayoko munang maging straight-laced kaya wala munang straight Tagalog or English.  Good old Lei talk lang muna.

Updates! Sa buhay estudyante at apprentice:  Busy as usual.  Wala pa mang tests na dapat paghandaan o reports na kelangang ipasa, may mahaba namang prob set sa 104.  Saka marami ring kelangan matutunan sa lab.  Napaka-busy ko na palagi.  Parang bawas na bawas na ang time ko... Pasulyap-sulyap na nga lang ako sa TV eh.  Pag may World Cup game, nood ako for 5 mins, tapos balik sa trabaho.  Tapos makikibalita at magpapakwento na lang kay Ayi kung sino nanalo.  O kaya, wala ng movie every now and then.  Wah, sobrang talunan ng sked ko.  Pero, on the other hand, ang dami kong natutunan.  Feeling ko sponge utak ko ngayon.  Kaya, nakakagaan na rin ng loob kahit papaano.  Feeling ko tuloy ang intellectual ko pag nasa lab ako.  Hay, the endless possibilities of what one can do in CMPL... Napaka-fulfilling, kahit apprentice pa lang ako.  Pag nahahaggard ako, iniisip ko na lang na pagdating ng panahon, lahat ng oras na sinakripisyo ko para hindi manood ng World Cup on TV, ibabawi ko - at manonood ako ng World Cup Live.  Pero dapat maging magaling ako at world class at mayaman para makapagtravel.  That's not too hard is it?

Wow.  haha andami ko nang nasulat about acads and lab (and World Cup).  Everything else: PA, CSSC, freshies, ok naman silang lahat. 

Family, ayos na ayos pa.  Hindi ko na nga lang gaanong natuturuan si Daniel kasi pag uwi ko gabi na at pagod na talaga ako.  Hay, nakakahaggard ang school sa totoo lang.  Pero ito pinili ko, at dito ako masaya so no regrets talaga.

May ilang bagay na lang na kulang at hindi pa nahuhulog sa lugar (read: not yet falling into place -- hilarious ang straight Tagalog sabi na eh!).  Hay, pero si Lord na ang bahala.  Sa ngayon, wala na akong kontrol dun.  I pray for things to fall into place, and hopefully my prayers will be answered soon.  Nako, nag-impose pa talaga ako ng soon.  Well, ganun talaga.  Pag hindi ka marunong humingi, talo ka. 

Hay ang cute ko talaga paminsan.  Ang bata ko mag-isip. 

Last last last:  Sana pala matuloy ako sa Davao this coming October (for SPP).  Saka sana makapagtravel ako out of the country soon.  Kelan kaya?  Ngayon pa lang na-eexcite na ako. 

You have no idea how much.

I've been SO TIRED this weekend.  And now, because of slacking off, I have to hurry tonight and make the most out of the little time I have left.

A quick review of the 2 weeks that passed:
First week of classes: I was so hyper and full of energy.  Ishi and I emceed the FOP. I'm glad it was succesful!  I got the first week right - I always came to class prepared and I even knew the lessons in advance!  Brilliant.  But I got sick and so...

Second Week of classes: I ran out of fuel.  Being tired and all, I just dragged myself to class. Haha, what an irresponsible student.  Not to worry, I won't do it again (yes, I'm promising it to myself. haha**).   Aside from that, I and May applied as apprentices at the Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory (CMPL).  I've been really excited about it, and this week (specifically tomorrow), we'll be officially starting our apprenticeship.  GO LEI (and MAY)!!!

For the third week of classes, I promise to make a comeback! Yey!!!  I'll get better at this, I promise.  
    Save for my acads and lab work (I say lab life!), everything else in my life is at a stand still.  I guess it's because I don't have enough time for other stuff anymore.  But it doesn't worry me, no not at all.  Neither am I worried of losing motivation.  What I'm worried of is that I just might get so tired one day and stop doing what I love doing.  I don't want to go home one day and sleep off the tiredness just to wake up and find myself hating Physics - not because it's unlovable, but because I pushed myself too much, way beyond my limiit.  I want to do this (in College at least) for as long as I can.  I want to stretch myself to the utmost, but I don't want to suffer burnout.  I want to reach far, unimaginable things and go way, way, way beyond places that people think I, with my present skills and determination, can reach and occupy.  I want to go beyond those places.  And I want to hold it for as long as I can.  I want to bend, but I do not want break. 

**I hate typing it, but sometimes I can't help it - the endless haha's.  I get irritated of it myself.  I have to stop it.  It's quite awful.

June 9-10 was UPPA's team building.  We had lots of fun; some people got wasted (I didn't!) and I was so stupid as to forego sleep for a whole night of swimming, tsismis, and magic sing.  And so when I got home at around 4:45 pm, I immediately fell asleep.  I woke up for dinner, then slept again.  When I woke up today, it was already Sunday and the sun had already risen.

What a way to live.  I hate getting up way after sunrise.  I hate getting up late.  I really should be more disciplined especially since classes will start tomorrow!

To everyone who's going to school tomorrow:
    After reading Atlas Shrugged (credit goes to Fae for introducing me to the book), I will now borrow this line (which i really love) from the book : "in the name of the best within us."  So in the name of the best within us, let's make the most out of this sem!

Aside from Physics, this sem will be about:
1. goals
2. motivation
3. drive
4. discipline
5. passion
6. high-blood, sweat, tears, stress, and pressure.

5 out of 6 are positive. I definitely need positive energy to fuel myself this sem. 

Tough, tough, tough sem ahead! 

For the love of Physics, GO LEI!!!

I dress for women.  I undress for men. (sabi ni MK)

And so I had to go to the mall today, because (I think) I don't have enough (good) clothes for the coming sem.  But Mama and I got tired and still had a few things to buy for Daniel and so we had to cut the shopping after a few clothes.

Still, it's all about dressing this sem.

No undressing, okay?  ARAL MUNA EH. Eeeeeh, what a way to say walang akong lalake. So what?  Pero totoo naman. Aral muna.  Besides, it's going to be Physics fever for one whole sem.  I don't think anything can beat that, not even a guy!!!  NOT EVEN CLOSE!

What a sensual way to say i love Physics. Haha.

I'm just glad I'm alive.

;)

Tenth to the last post ko na to.  Gusto na kasing magretire ni hypertoniclei.  Gagawa na lang ako ng magandang blog next time.  Yung may sense.  Yung may sensible, sensual (huh sa'n galing yun?) at sensational stories.

Joke yung sensational.  Yun lang.  Hehe.

Basta.  On to bigger, bolder, and better things!

Anyway, induction ng CSSC Officers kanina.  For one whole year, magiging Assistant NIP Representative ako.

Hay life.  Na-overwhelm ako kasi parang ang hirap pala ng ginagawa ng council.  Andaming issues. Isang malaking hay.  Pero mukhang kakayanin ko naman (TALAGA?).  SANA KAYANIN KO, considering hell sem next sem.  Eto lang naman:
5 majors: Physics 104, 104.1, 113, 121, and 131.
Proj Com member sa PA
Asst. NIP Rep
at Lab Application.
(isama na rin siguro ang pagiging owner ko ng apapf yahoogroups, na plano ko nang idelegate sa ibang tao soon)

At UP stuff pa lang yan.  Paano na ang family (and kins), friends, relaxation, at extra-co (physical fitness kaartehan ko. oo na!)?...

Hay life talaga.  Pero eto gusto ko eh.  Mas mainam na to kesa sa walang ginagawa, or may ginagawa pero walang kwenta.  Gusto ko talaga maimprove ang sarili ko at magserve na rin.  It's the least I can do, to thank God for all of the blessings I've received.  Gusto ko maibalik yung lahat ng natanggap ko, mula sa Kanya at mula sa mga tao na rin.  Basta kakayanin ko yan.  Para saan pa yung may nagpasign sa aking "Supergirl" noong 2004 Retreat?  Haha.  Dinaan sa projection.

Supergirl?  Ako?  Tignan natin next sem.

FIGHT!
