Catching up

  • Jan. 21st, 2009 at 6:40 AM
:D
I've just realized how I haven't updated this blog in months. T_T

By the end of February, I am hoping for a blog entry which states that I am done with the final draft of my thesis.
By the first week of March, a blog entry which says that my defense was a success.
And by the day before my birthday, that I have submitted the bound copies of my thesis and is really really graduating.

We'll see. :)
I swear after this semester (my very last in UP), I am soooooo gonna party!
Who's coming with me? LOL.

MEME (after such a long time.)

  • Nov. 23rd, 2008 at 10:51 PM

Grabbed from [info]cruentare, meme at Colorgenics.

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens. [I did, and is very happy with the results.]

You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image in the eyes of others. You are looking for acknowledgement from your peers and those who come into your sphere of influence. You want to be liked, not for what people think of you but for what you really are.

You are confined and trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way out. Whatever you seem to do to resolve the problem hasn't worked out. Fortunately you are able to gain some aspect of relief from someone close to you.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.


*sigh* I hafta sleep now. Got an appointment in Manila tomorrow at 8 AM. Oo, ang aga. Boo.

First half of Raket Marathon over.
I'm tired.
But raket = money, and money is what you use to buy food and to pay for pamasahe and phone bills.
I need money; therefore, I need raket. Therefore, I cannot be tired.

I found this while Googling "emo." I dunno, though, if my German prof (prof sa German na German, gets?) will laugh with me.
Pero kasi, totoo naman eeeeh. :D

What we do on Sundays.

  • Oct. 19th, 2008 at 11:38 PM

Sunday at the Cruel household usually means that everyone's at home. My mom has this unwritten rule that Sunday is family day, and so, Sunday is the only day of the week that I do not leave the house. Hahaha.

While Mom was busy watching Prison Break 4  while shrieking every time something exciting happened, we three girls made landi and [info]lenujan becomes hairdresser for a day. We tried straightening our hair with that rebonding kit Mom bought years ago, and we had to finish it because it's almost past its expiration date.






There was this step in the procedure which said that we had to iron our hair. And iron our hair we did. Haha. Di naman siguro ako idedemanda ng mga kapatid ko balang araw. :P


In the end, when my hair dried up, it was still curly as ever. Wahahaha. Ano ba yun. >_< Now my scalp stinks because of the chemicals of that white gunk we put in our hair. Oh well.

Konting tiis na lang.

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin

-Feel the Rain on Your Skin, Natasha Bedingfield
 
That line easily describes how I feel right now, while waiting for my grades to appear in my CRS. Wala lang. Anticipating. Happily expecting something I have worked hard for in my four years in the University. [info]marc_marc11 is insisting that with my grades for the past semesters and summers, it's already fail-safe*, but I dunno, I guess I'm still scared. (Blame my stooooopid jinx. Argh.) Hopefully, this time, all my stressed-out days and sleepless nights will not be put to waste. ^___^;
 

And I just realized something: ever since I was small, my biggest fear is failure. This explains a lot of my idiosyncracies, from people-pleasing to my being uber paranoid. Guess we all have our quirks.




*fail-safe (adj): having no chance of failure
<"the little black dress…has consistently been the fail–safe solution for night" — Vogue>

HAHA. I think I need that sleepover badly.

P.S. BOO YOU, CRS! EL 200 na lang subject ko, di mo pa binigay.

Finally.

  • Oct. 9th, 2008 at 10:10 PM

My sem's over. Now awaiting results. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Breathe breathe. Sana di ako malaglag from Magna. Argh argh.

[edit: as of now ang alam ko lang na grade ko ay German 30 (1.0) at 31 (1.5). There's this big possibility that I'd get a 2.0 sa PI 100*. Oh dear.]

I'll be me time-ing muna. Planning to watch Magnolia tonight, para mabalik ko na kay Marston. Haha. :)

brb.



*Philippine Institutions 100. Rizal course.

Some random thought while writing my EL 199 thesis proposal*
 
ang magclick nito, chismoso/a. :) )
 
"Kung hindi ukol, hindi bubukol."
can also be applied to certain situations like finding out that your longtime boyfriend is gay.

Rys: Oo, nag-aayos ng buhay eh.

Thesis (proposal). More of the lack of it.

  • Sep. 7th, 2008 at 11:17 AM

ARGH. Two weeks ko nang hindi nagagalaw ang thesis proposal ko, submission na ng first draft next week.

The bumming around must stop!

Kung gusto niyo kong makita, most likely ay magsstay lang ako sa Genref ng Mainlib at hindi ako aalis dun hanggang di ko natatapos ang Márco Teórico at Metodología ko. At andun lang din ako hanggang hindi ako natatapos magrevise.

I swear I am going to the beach sa sembreak. Beach bummin' time, oh yeah. (Nag-aaya yung pinsan ko, punta daw ng Bolinao.)

EPIPHANY!

  • Aug. 31st, 2008 at 2:55 PM

After smiling and posing in front of the mirror (grad pics na kasi next week), I realized something:

Maganda pa rin naman pala ako. >_<

I guess I just have to let my hair down, show off my (stubborn) curls, and smile. :)

I am so incoherent. But do read on. )





Go, comment na! :D Hahaha.

P.S. Thank you to [info]marc_marc11 who never doubted my beauty (*ehem ehem* then *giggles*) and who always always patiently tolerates my hindi-na-kaya-ako-maganda rants. And to the Cocabobs who always tell me that I'm gorgeous. Well we all are, dearies.

I always knew that all those petix times back in my 1st, 2nd and 3rd year would cost me dearly. I am now in my 4th and last year, writing my undergraduate thesis, and now I rarely get more than 3 hours of sleep. Not that I'm complaining, though.

Buti na lang nandiyan ka. :*

I am now off to sleep. Di pa kasi ako natutulog eh.

 Jevic is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.

Jevic will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Jevic an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Jevic is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Jevic is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

 People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Jevic doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

 Jevic is sensitive to criticism about her ideas and philosophies. She will sometimes worry what people will think if she tells them what she believes in. This doesn't mean she won't talk, or that she feels ashamed. It merely means she is sensitive to what others think, regarding her beliefs.

 Jevic is secretive. She has secrets which she does not wish to share with others. She intentionally conceals things about herself. She has a private side that she intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in her past.

 Jevic has a desire for attention. People around Jevic will notice this need. She may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on her own character.

 In reference to Jevic's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Jevic slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.

She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Jevic can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

 Jevic is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Jevic basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.

 Jevic has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.
