~Wait... What?~

Like any other person, I enjoy a thrill, a momentary high. And there had been rare moments when dopamine simply floods my system and I feel really pleased with myself: Passing math (the three times I've met it since entering University) for example, was a high three times over. Graduating High school was one, and then there are my just-as-planned moments.

Which would then explain the utter pleasure of right now (which would really qualify as a just-as-planned moment) when I helped my friend sell a wig. Yes fellas, I helped sell a wig. And I'm pleased with that... (okay something must be horribly wrong with me, Haha).

It started out as a whim to advertise the said hairpiece. I really doubted my *ahem* interpersonal skills and doubted anyone would bite. But then, my inbox was more or less flooded by prospective buyers (wow, a lot of girls really want to cosplay C.C. that bad?). But in the end, I landed the deal before anyone on the main channel had. Haha. Just as planned! *sakujo!*

...Maybe I should have taken up business.

...Nah.

~Ano bang problema mo?~

Nakakasama ng loob. Grabe. Wala naman akong ginagawa sa iyo pero ginaganyan mo ako. Sunday ka pa ah. Kilala niyo ako. Mahirap akong magalit. Insane ang level ng pasensya ko. pero aaminin ko: hindi ako santo tulad mo na little-miss-perfect na lagi na lang tama ang ginagawa. pero at least hindi ako hipokrito tulad mo.

I don't throw my shit on you, so don't throw your shit on me. Di ko alam kung anong nangyayari sa langyang opisina mo at ganyan ka. Pero di kita jiu-judge. Wala kayong karapatang i-judge ako dhil hindi niyo rin alam kung anong nangyayari sa school. Plain and simple. Palibhasa akala niyo kasi kung ano lang eskwela ang UP eh.

Look, I tried to be civil. I try to be nice. Hindi ko na lang kayo inapansin, kasi nga, I don't want throwing shit unto other people. It's not my style. Kung baga, hindi niyo problema yon. Yung mga trivial nga na bagay pati sa Diyos hindi ko kinukwento, sa inyo pa ba? Ewan ko lang ha... Ang insensitive niyo. Di niyo alam na nakakasakit na kayo ng damdamin. Alam kong insesnsitive at batugan ako. Yun ba yung rason ng crap nyo? Dahil hindi ako tumululong? Sino nag-aayos ng kwarto araw-araw? Sinong nagpupunas ng ibabaw sa taas? Tumutulong nga eh. Ayaw niyo lang pansinin. Masyado kasi kayong closed-minded. In denial ba kayo ha?

Ang akin lang, wag kayong magsungit ng random. Kung may rason man, sabihin sana ng matino. Wag yung pag nagkamali ako todo condemn na. Nakakasakit eh. Nakakabanas na lang every time gusto kong mag-relax tapos ang hirit niyo sakin para akong baboy na dumudumi sa sarili kong kama. HELLO? Kaya nga kama ko eh. Responsibilidad mo yan. And if you can;t take the stench (or lack thereof), get out of the damn room and get out of my damn case!

Palibhasa akala niyo dati palaro-laro lang ako eh. Palibhasa ang nakikita niyo lang yung coping mechanism ko. Hindi niyo ako nakikitang pinaghihirapan ang maka-tres man lang sa subject na madaming nalalagas. Akala niyo kasi hindi ko sineseryoso buhay ko eh. Bakit? Dahil ba gusto kong maging teacher? Buhay ko to. Di mo to buhay. Gagawin ko ang gusto kong gawin kasi legal na ako. Di naman ako umiinom, naninigarilyo, nagdudrugs, nambababae, nanlalalake, nanlalandi, pumapatay.Sa chem na nga lang umiikot ang buhay ko eh. Wag naman. mentally unstable na nga ata ako since andaming nasa isip ko. Ayoko nang idagdag ang collosal weight ng iniisip niyo with my problems.

Please. I've tried to be civil. but my patience has worn thin.

~Academic Year-ender post.~

And so ends AY 2008-2009. My second year at the University is finally behind me. Now I can rest relax, and wait for third year to hit me in the face. Summer term? WHAT SUMMER TERM? That's blasphemy! That's madness! Summer term is just a myth!

And to cap off the academic year, I'd like to thank my mentors who, in their *cough* undying patience, managed to get me through my second year.

Mr. Alvin Baclig- beloved physics 71 teacher. Showed us that Physics can be fun. XD
Mr. Christopher Jay Robidillo- amidst his shortcomings, he's really nice and approachable. He didn't teach us to rise up in the face of adversity... He taught us that adversity can and will rise up with you. Took him twice this year: Chem 18 and Chem 35.
Prof. Nora Del Rosario-I owe a lot to her. She started it all... my road to Organic Chemistry, and its bretheren, Advanced Organic and Biochemistry.
Prof. Josephine De Los Reyes- She was there in one of the rare occassions that we had to encounter the Biology department. She's really sweet and funny.
Prof. Benjamin Mangubat-'nuff said. He shows the other side of History.
Prof. Jude Agsalon-always there to lend a helping hand on your physics experiments. But... that's the only place you'll find him.
Mrs. Glennalin Pangilinan-Medina- research-oriented chem lab instructor. She's very nice, not to mention pretty and intelligent.
Mr. Ralph Sederick Lapuz- Biology Lab instructor... You can call him a fashionista, LOL. And he looks damn good in a labgown. Haha XD
Dr. Marilou G. Nicolas- My favorite teacher, hands down. She's a bit...daunting at times (like when she's filling the board with chemical structures in less than thirty seconds), but she has a great sense of humor, and really made my first enconunter with Biochemistry worthwhile.
Ms. Kreza Ligaya-she too, is a bit scary when she's asking you mechanisms for Biochem lab. But she's really nice and approachable. (and she even showed up in class loligoth style once)
Dr. Nelson Villarante-I admit, he could be unreasonable, but his knowledge of chemistry knows no bounds.
Mr. Derick Erl Sumalapao-It's a wonder I survived math. He's really kind, and really good in his element. I wish he could teach us math again.
Dr. Roy Tumlos-he's a bit funny, and very knowledgable. He knows how to derive equations like the back of his hand. Also, he's a bit of an entertainer in class, right?!?
Prof. Linda Bonilla- She strict, gives plenty of requirements, grills and literally sautee's you, but in the end, you get to appreciate art just as much as she does. The end justifies the means.

I'd like to do a quotations post soon, but I'll have to compile them from my head first. XD

~Well, I'm glad that's over.~

Yesterday, after six years (the latter part of which spent in disuse), I finally deleted my friendster account. yes, dear friends, my friendster is no more.

To those bewildered saps going "ZOMG WHY DID YOU DO THAT??!!!1111" right now, here's my reason: I don;t want/need it anymore. Plain and simple. You see, I for one don't like seeing it gather dust (but it does). And like some sort of disgusting object, I rarely touch it. My email is cluttered with numerous and countless app alerts inviting me to add another useless item to what was ultimately, in my opinion, utterly useless profile to begin with.

I never gleaned any satisfaction from the site, except during my profile's infancy stage, I guess. So what if it was my only link to people from my far past: people I hardly know anymore? I don't really give a damn anymore. I desire neither the past nor the present... I desire the future.

Okay, too much dramu for something so mundane and trivial.

~generic post~

I don't have much of a will to write anything amusing, nor is my sarcasm that big today. I haven't even been doing much contemplating today, not even on the train and not in school.

...In short, my brain, as a result of the combined powers of math, physics and chemistry... has died.

So I went to school at around 8:30, and had portions of Morrison and Boyd's Organic chemistry photocopied. Then I went straight to the Library to go over Leithold's "The Calculus 7", the title of which still eludes me. Yeah, I know. It's a book about calculus and it's the seventh edition... By why cll it "THE Calculus?", it's not the first calculus book out there, and it's npot some term which is very novel and should merit the use of the article "the". It's bugged me since high school because the freaking "the" is stuck with the freaking "calculus" in the freaking title of the freaking book.

Okay, my sarcasm has returned.

So I was cooked up in the library (without Pasty, boo.) going over the *insert ridiculously titled book here* for aq couple hours until I finally gave up on trying to completely comprehend the integrals, integrands, derivatives, length of arcs and whatnot and began to become horribly bored. So I figured I should take it easy and go ahead and review applications first and go for techniques of integration later. So I photocopied the parts with applications.

I went to masci because I was bored. The seniors were practicing at the auditorium... and I could hear them singing. The other students were enjoying the last days of their year and so were the teachers. Haha.

Then, I met up with my HCC-mates. Had lunch and talked about stuff while preparing for the Gintama skit. I was talking to Touya most of the time... I kept blackmailing her of her *aherm* posts at ichiraku. haha. Then, we saw a couple of guys who were donning-of all things-akatsuki jackets. It kind of insulted us. I even exclaimed "OH MY GOD!", which made them look at me. My friends told me I should have been costripping right then and there to show 'em.... It would seem that acting like a cosplayer wannabe insults a cosplayer ver much. Too bad they don't do that at cons. Haha.

While on my way home, I skipped Dian and went straight on to Filmore street (because the traffic light at Dian was still green and I would have a hard time getting down). So when I went down near Filmore, I saw a familiar swish of blue cloth... The shade, and the sailor shirt that went with the blue skirt plus the location meant only one thing... I ran after the girl, before she could cross the street. All the while, I was thinking that "This can't be her"... But it turned out to be her: Illana, a lowerclassman from masci. She was surprised to see me, having heard running steps. So I walked her to her house near Filmore, and we talked about how her graduation practice went (horrible, in my opinion)... She failed the UPCAT (I checked her name, among other batch '09ers), but she can still file for an appeal. After that, I told her what courses she could take at the Manila campus (she wants to take up Bio).

So there. My day's rant. XD

~Doc Nick strikes again!~

As you may know, Dr. Nicolas is my Biochemistry professor. Her exams all follow the same format: a 50-item multiple choice part and a 20-item problem solving part. The problem solving part always takes the form of a story, wherein the questions cohere to both the story and the lesson...

...I just noticed a trend, though... her stories... are getting weirder.

It first happened during our carbohydrates and lipids exam. She warned that she;ll be using a "story from our childhood", so we can relate. Come exam day, the story was about... Pinocchio. Yes, and it turns out that Gepetto can perform exhaustive methylation, among other biochemical analyses.

But this exam really made me facepalm/headdesk/WTFLOL.

a young half-human named Naruto was so strong that studies on his metabolic and genetic make-up were undertaken... It was found out that Naruto is a clone made up of human genome and the gene of a nine-tailed fox

What. The. Hell.
Yeah. I know. The following questions also included copious amounts of references to Naruto's ramen habits, and, of all things... Kage Bunshins... like, "Calculate the number of moles of tryglyceride required to produce enough energy to produce two kage bunshin". Yeah... and most of the questions are essay-type, so I felt really silly putting the words "Naruto", "kage bunshin", "nine-tailed fox" and "phosphorylated enzyme" in the same sentence.

Doc Nick... is so cool. I wanna be just like her.

Which leads me to think... what will the final exam story be about? Bleach? TSUBASA? CODE GEASS?!? XD it leaves me to wonder...

"The biochemical mechanism behind the power called 'geass' is unknown. Lloyd Asplund, a britannian researcher, studied two individuals: Lelouch Lamperouge and C.C., and found out that certain enzymes that control eye coloration were mutated, and hence give forth radiation..."

(this will be the first time you will see me put the tags "biochem" and "anime" together.)
