Malas.

Well basically it's all because I missed something I wanted to have so bad.. I was looking forward to going to the METRCON this weekend at Laguna, just a weekend where I would supposedly enjoy it with the guys and gals of our cluster. I was initially not supposed to go, since it was my freakin' enrollment.. I just wished it didn't fall on this day.. But when Margaux that I could come since two in our cluster was not able to come, I had a small sliver of hope.. I was supposedly to meet the people at SMB at around 130pm..

I had planned it out, be at UST at around my scheduled enrollment time, (12-2pm), be done as fast as I could, be back at home, get my stuff, go to SMB.. I also had to enroll with 37,500 pesos, in cold cash, since mom ran out of checks.. I decided to bring our car `coz I thought it would be much faster..

I asked God "Sana walang pila sa enrollment!" Tsk.. kulang pa pala yung dinasal ko..

So I left our home, around 1030 am, sort of in an impulse, since Mom asked me to bring out the car since she was gonna use the van.. she also had no choice since even if I keep a low profile, having 37,500 pesos in hand just screams to be mugged.

On I went, and damn! Traffic! In my one year of having a non-pro license, I've never it encountered this bad. From right here in Doña Soledad, which I wasn't surprised since it was around noon after all.. traffic! then zoom into the highway, I was caught with my pants down! hell the line to the tollgate stretched up to a few meters after C-5, around a kilometer in all.. And I thought, "Hanggang tollway lang yan"

Again I was wrong.. You wouldn't see it until you were paying the toll fee.. It was like tollgate-a few meters-traffic jam..

There was no escaping it! It dragged on.. so scary to drive too, since there's no truck ban on weekends, its like a fleet of those big-ass trucks was let loose on the roads.. so there traffic from Nichols, thinned abit in Magallanes, until I was around the UST area, where as always, trucks and u-turns, and no-left turns are there..

I reached UST at around past 12.. Thank God madali lang nakahanap ng parking.. was at the seminary where the enrollment was held at around 12:30.. Godsent, wala nang pila sa enrollment!

On my way back to the carpark at around past 1.. pretty long walk haha.. started texted `coz I knew I wouldn't make it at 1:30..

Then again traffic! near C-5 again.. at least may kausap, di napanis laway ko.. until the Sun Valley Area.. a vehicle met an accident, literally, it's wheel came of..

Haha, when you look at it, it's just bad luck right there.. Pwede nga naman mag - Skyway.. I'm sure yun rin sinabi ng mga kasabay ko na natraffic..

Until it was made clear na hindi na ako makakasama sa Metrcon.. tsk.. Badvibes lang talaga noh?

A weekend that was initially going to be a boring one, supposedly to turn in a fun-filled, looking-forward-to weekend, turned back to be an even dull one.. Had my hopes up for nothing.

And The Results Are:

Yeah!! Hahaha.. Let me just show of a little my grades hahaha.. Glad to know my hardwork really paid off.. and my cheating ways as well.. especially on PP (Professional Practice), Knowing the exact coverage of a test eased the studying.. Who the hell wouldn't want that? Given that the test that we had to take.. goes something like *Section 1701: *big blank* Section 1801 *big blank* Section 1901 *big blank* next page.. haha.. Our prof doesn't even give a multiple choice type of test. big whoop.. Hell, I did it as well in Logic at our Finals, since I didn't really freakin' care about what our prof and his so-called book stands for.

AS 1 DESIGN OF SIMPLE ELEMENTS TENSION 2.25
BT 5 ADVANCED BUILDING CONSTRUCTION METHODS 2.25
CADD AR COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING AND DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTURE 1.0
D 7 DESIGN VII 2.0
PHL 2 LOGIC 2.75
PLN 1 SITE PLANNING & LANSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 1.5
PP 1 BUILDING LAWS 1.75

Yey! Kaso tamad ng UST di marunong magaverage ng grades.. tsaka hiwalay pa sa clearance. tsk.

Added the description of every subject para ma-nosebleed kayo.. CADD was pretty much a no-brainer for me..

Well, we also have our schedule for this sem already.. and yet again I'm not yet satisfied with our sched.. Lagi naman eh.. I just don't want Saturday classes! *I really really don't* It just keeps me away from the people that I love haha.. from the tropa and my beloved cluster in YFC..

Our schedule even involves a Wednesday 7am - 1pm with a repeat at Saturday 7am - 2pm! And its the Majorest of all our major subjects Design.. Imagine during Wednesdays and Saturdays, no breakfast, no lunch.. Wednesdays our break goes up until 230.. and then classes straight to 730 pm *WTH no dinner either?!* The reason the schedule wasn't so cramped last sem is because our Design class is divided into three days.. Next thing we'll know one whole day nalang ang Design, then we'll all gladly die..

In other-stuff-that-really-matters-to-me, it just plain sucks that I won't be able to go the Metrocon again this year.. and now it's because of a really hassle "event" - our enrollment! I was really looking forward to go and then to watch our Gag go to ILC (let's keep our fingers crossed).. Well, I could just as easily ask a blockmate a enroll for me, but nah, it'd be a hassle to them as well, and I don't like people doing stuff that I should be doing..

To sum it all up, I am pretty bored here at home.. go figure.

Finally..

Hay.. At long last, it's finally over.. this sem has been a tough one, with first time profs, bigger projects, new classmates, cramped classrooms, dysfunctional curriculum, no-social life schedule, echoing reminders of how close we are to our mother of all THESIS in fifth year, that no matter what we think and how happy we aer now, it'll change come this 2nd sem..

And I stand here, accomplished and fulfilled, such a very freakin' huge load taking of me.

Hahaha.. lookie here.. I'm 20 yrs old.. *woot* it's not one of those fun-filled birthdays that I usually have.. not that people forgot to greet me, it's just that were all busy! Work just sucks the fun out of everything.. Everyone was just so tired that no one's bothering to come to our outing.. Hope the mood changes after a good night's sleep..

*Erased a huge chunk of text since I know people won't change because of things that I wrote*

Thanks sa mga tumulong sa akin sa pagkulay *steffipie, les and amiel, and of course my dear utol tep* Its nice to have a pair of arms when I really needed it the most..

I feel so fuckin' down for some reason..

Amusing Tidbit

Why Adam Sandler depicted an architect for his role in his movie "Click"? Here it is.. Enjoy!!

Architects are sexiest

What’s wrong with being sexy?

Architects have been voted the sexiest male professionals in a survey of women’s ideal partners.

The survey, conducted by the introduction agency Drawing Down the Moon, found that women favoured architects “due to the esteem associated with the profession”.

Architects are seen as being “balanced and rounded individuals who combine a creative approach with a caring, thoughtful disposition”, the survey found. It concluded: “Their ability to cope with pressure of work in a relaxed manner was also deemed to be a significant plus.”

Male architects beat stockbrokers, doctors, film directors and teachers on the top spot.

However female members of the profession fared less well and did not feature in the top 10 out of male preferences.

RIBA president David Rock commented that architects were probably unaware of their animal magnetism: “Architects were probably the only group on the list whose self-image is lower than their public image”, he said, but added: “Mind you, you have to question the veracity of any list that includes drama teachers”.

RIBA Architecture Gallery director Alicia Pivaro, who is married to architect Paul Monaghan, said she thaugt male architects were highly attractive: “Being married to the architecture’s Mr Sexy, I would have to agree.”

But she was surprised at the failiure of women architects to appear on the list. “All the ones I know are very sexy”, she said.

Men instead voted PR executives the sexiest profession for females, followed by actresses and journalists.

An Underdog Story And A Cinderalla Finish

Forget bagyong Milenyo.. hell I'm not gonna post about that weekend.

I'm sure any basketball afficionado *naks* would know UST won!!!!! yahooooo!!!! And I''m not about to make this post into a sports-column-number-crunching etc etc.. I just love do-or-die matches especially in the NBA and even more in yesterday's match since my school is a part of it. It felt really good since no one expected that UST would go this far, being 2-5 as the lowest that they ever went. The thrill was so much to bear.. I watched at home and I was sweating so much, not to mention that the camera was position behind the seats where the Thomasians were made my home viewing much more realistic. The game was really good... astig sobra.. the fact that it was settled in overtime listed as one of my best TV moments right away.

It shows na pinamigay nila ang Game 1! wahahahahaha!

Now I can smother my Ateneo-rooting friends! Hooray!
