Hellweek October 6, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentYet another one has come my way.
I have an exam tomorrow at 1PM. I am cramming, as are the rest of my classmates (who are conveniently cramming together at Jen’s house). Please let the exam be answerable.
I have an MP due on Wednesday. I’m quite far from accomplishing my part… since I do have an exam to prepare for. Gawd I hope we can pass it on time.
After that, an exam on Saturday.
Then finals week!
I will be so happy when this is all over! (well not really, I have to pass all subjects first before I can really be happy) I’ll be FREEEEEE!
Let’s party.
A Day of Meals October 3, 2008

(right) My Pasta Puttanesca leftovers (@ Chocolate Kiss)
I slept at 3AM this morning. For me that’s an all-new record for early bedtime. Naturally, as all unusual things seem to never go unpaired, I woke up with a splitting headache, but the 8:00 AM time on my bedside clock seemed to indicate the start of a good day — which are rare.
Went online, plurked, checked my mail.. then got ready for school. It was hot as hell on my way to school. I thought it would rain hard when afternoon came ‘coz that’s how it usually works. Amazingly enough, the day stayed bright and sunny the rest of the day.
Got to school in time for CS 150 class. Ma’am Chris discussed Syntax and Semantics (plus tips and tricks, as well as the algo we’d be using for phase 2 of our Machine Problem).
I accompanied Dan to Chocolate Kiss after my class. We were to meet Mr. Aldwin (person making CURSOR shirts) there. By this time, the fact that I had not eaten anything since I woke up was making itself very apparent through hunger. I had forgotten all about food. So Chocolate Kiss sounded perfectly perfect.
I ordered Pasta. Dan got Fries and Sans rival. We talked over late “lunch”. CURSOR stuff.. people.. more CURSOR stuff. Haha.
It was almost 5 PM when we left Choc Kiss. I went to Eng’g. It’s been AAAAGESSSSSSSSSS since I went to our tambayan. I’ve missed seeing people around Eng’g too.
I was about to go home when I got a text from Marie. The rest is history.
Dinner at Sisig Hooray, then dessert at Jollibee (<<eh. haha). For the record, Sisig Hooray is NOT a good place to dine. What ever happened to regular plates and spoons and forks? Ever heard of CFCs? (They were using Styros even for those dining in). And MICROWAVE SISIG? Puhlease. Haha!

I had fun talking over dinner, as I always do. :) Grabe lang ang iyong question and answer portion, Marie. With the hand gestures and everything. Haha.
I took the LRT from Katipunan station. The new 11:00 closing time comes in very handy at times like these. I’d usually take the scary jeepneys to Cubao otherwise. Then MRT to Ayala where I bumped into Kai! :) We rode the shuttle together — while updating each other on the latest CURSOR-related chismis. Haha.
It’s one of those good days.
I Will Fight September 29, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , 2commentsI now know what I’ve been doing wrong. I now know why life has been successful in bringing my spirits down.
It’s because I stopped fighting. I let it take over me for just the slightest moment, and it ruled.
I WILL NOT EVER BE BROUGHT DOWN BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING.
I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH, YOU’LL SEE.
I WILL FIGHT!

I’ve been gone for quite a while now. By “gone”, I mean “Missing In Action”, out of it all, disappeared, lost, NOT THERE. People are asking where I’ve been. I keep asking myself the same question over and over again.
But enough with all the emo-ness. I’m sick of it. It’s all I’ve been doing, and it’s getting old. I’ve gone past my limits for self drama, and so I have put a cap on all that stuff. *Enter clean slate mode*
CS 180 exam this afternoon didn’t go as well as I would’ve wanted. I couldn’t concentrate, much less calculate all the things there were to calculate. Good grief. *Dizzy*
After the exam, a dismayingly strong downpour greeted us at the CS building exit/entrance. Thank goodness I had my umbrella. Couldn’t save my jeans though.. got soaked. It’s been raining cats and dogs recently, pardon the cliche. I feel like I’ve been zapped back to my freshman year when a sunny day was welcomed like Christmas in the summer. Makes me think the end of the world might really be drawing near this time.
Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.

(Yes, I’m stacking up on Charlie Brown quotes. I simply adore Charles Schulz)
Anyway, I didn’t go home right away. Went to Trinoma with Marie to have dinner, and talk (but not before getting even MORE soaked on our way to the mall). We ate at Taco Bell — complete with the never ending re-run of “Demolition Man”. I missed this. I missed going out with friends and just talking about life and people. I simply miss a lot of things right now. And this is not me being melodramatic.. this is me stating FACTS. I share Marie’s sentiments on dinner-outs. They are definitely irreplaceable.
After dinner, I went on to ride the MRT. The station was semi-packed. Is it just me or do wet raincoats and umbrellas make the trains seem all the more cramped than usual? Anyway, I got to Ayala where it seemed like highschool barkada reunion since I was with two of my friends.. and I could insert two VERY long paragraphs here about our tiring attempts at getting home quickly, but I’ll spare you the dull details, and spare myself the effort of going through it all in my head again.
Then now I’m blogging. I was in the middle of taking care of my acads but apparently, my attention span hasn’t changed at all, if not diminished even further.
Rain, crowds, and traffic don’t really make for a bad day. Sometimes all you need is a bowl of Cheesy Potatoes with a friend to make it a little better.
Salamat, Marie. :)

The movie was great. It wasn’t jaw-dropping awesome, but the storyline was quite good, and I was really into each scene. Plus it wasn’t all gut-spilling (as other action movies are these days). There was a “human” factor in the movie. I liked that about it.
Warning, semi-slight-kinda spoilers ahead. (more…)
Stupid MONTH September 18, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentThere are a lot of things riding on next month. ONE month. It’s just 30 days away and yet that double digit can squeeze my stomach into knots, making me want to puke.
So what’s there to wait a month for?
I’ll let you know in 4 weeks.
Sigh.
I GOT HACKED! September 18, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , 1 comment so farWhat a huge inconvenience. I have been unable to blog for the longest time because my host has been blocking my pages. Turns out the footer.php file of my previous theme was planted with all these malicious/spam-(my?) links and all that so my pages weren’t all that spam-free.
BUT THAT’S ALL OVER NOW. I have my blog back. (Hopefully for good). Pardon also my layout which is nothing short of lacking creativity right now, I’ll be changing it as soon as I have TIME on my hands again.
HELLO (again) WORLD! Mwah!
