i ate in marche, thai express, swensens, and tony romas! haha all in just 2 days.
well, coz my cousins and my aunt and my cousin's girlfriend went here to visit me. :) well, it was really just a stopover for my aunt... but still... it was one heckuva weekend. too bad i wasnt able to join the sandwich selling at church for our retreat fund raising. see u guys next week!
we rode the cable car ride to sentosa... it was my 2nd time to go to sentosa in a cable car, once i went on foot, and several times by bus. it was fun, i finally got to climb up the merlion. we also went to the night safari nga pala last friday. it was my first time to ride the LRT, and thanks to kuya pheng and kuya marlon, we got in for free... well actually four of us lang pero hello, we saved almost $100 noh. thanks again! tapos it was my first time to go through the bats thingy although ive been to the night safari thrice or four times na yata. creepy haha i dont know why. fruit bats lang naman sila pero creepy pa rin hehehe.
yun lang muna. visit nuschika.blogspot.com hahahaha!
i just want to thank God for answering my prayer - that my friends settle their "conflict". i know you would be able to settle this thing sooner or later... and everything will turn out fine, because i know that you love each other.
ive been praying for the two of you... its the least i can do. i just didnt wanna butt-in... sino naman ako to do that diba? but i just want you gals to know that if u need anything im always here for you... for the both of you...k?
LOVE YAH BOTH!
i dont know if how many people read that. ang alam ko lang nabasa to ni ferron bago ko na-delete(ryt?).
i am referring to my previous entry that i deleted (title: post deleted dated march29, 2004) kasi i realized na basta, its not appropriate na ilagay yun sa blog for all to see.
i just wanna say na finally, IM OVER IT! notice the "it". its a thing, not a "him". hehe. so yun, i finally accepted na wala na talaga kong magagawa about the strings attached. if i want it (another thing) back, i must get the whole package, and apparently, i can't have it without the strings. things change. and yeah, yun na ang situation ngayon. turns out to be okay naman... well, so far.
gusto ko lang ikwento ang stats lecture ko nung friday. sabi nga ni karen "blog-worthy" daw. pero since hindi pa nya pino-post sa blog nya, unahan ko na sya. hehe.
it was our lecturer's last day of teaching the module. dalawa kasi silang assigned magturo ng module. sya for the first half. and since kalahati na ng sem, tapos na yung topics na assigned sa kanya.
since it was his last day, the latter part of the lecture was spent reading comments about his teaching style. nag-evaluation nga pala kse kme the lecture before. so sinabi nya na sayang, sana nakuha nya yung comments medyo earlier para nagawan nya ng paraan.
one comment was that hindi sya maintindihan dahil sa kanyang accent. which for me, is quite true. i heard "coloration" instead of "correlation", "sureal" instead of "survey", "virulence" instead of "variance" but then i got used to it. ok naman sya magturo eh. pero nagulat daw sya sa comment na to kasi nung nagllecture sya sa harvard, hindi naman sya nasasabihan na hindi sya maintindihan. oh well.
pero ito ung well, interesting. haha. may nag-comment sa evaluation na pag umaattend sya ng tutorial, saka lang nya naiintindihan ang mga lesson. so ano pa daw ang saysay ng pagpunta nya sa lecture?
ito ang sagot ng aming lecturer:
naglabas sya ng transparency at nilagay sa OHP (overhead projector). nagprepare pa talaga sya ah. here goes the 3 transparencies:
tapos natahimik sandali yung buong class.
tapos balik na naman sa usual na ingay at pag-giggle dahil sa accent ng aming teacher at sa mga mali nyang grammar katulad ng slowlier. hello! ang sasama nyo! hindi naman english teacher yan ah. saka hello, wag nyo naman tawanan nang harapharapan. pero yeah, kung galing syang harvard hindi ba dapat maayos english nya? hehe.
wala lang.
sam was your typical high school girl. she was quite tall, a little chubby, with shoulder-length hair and a sweet smile. she wasn't in the honors class nor was she failing any subject. she wasnt a heartthrob nor was she an outcast. just your normal average girl.
sam loved art. theater art, specifically. during math class you would see her scribbling down scripts, dialogues, for her new story. during free time, you would see her sketch a new stage design for her play. but nobody appreciated her work. nobody noticed her talent. after all, who was she? shes just sam.
then came senior year, and sam applied for drama club membership. she got in but she wasn't that happy because she noticed that all who applied actually got accepted. then came spring, and they were tasked to present the annual spring play. sam was excited. at last, she will be able to put her passion for art into good use.
prof. baker assigned karl as director. karl was drama club president, debate team captain, and the most popular guy in school (except the football players of course). no one could think of anyone more fit for the job than him. in due time karl picked his staff, his cast, and his crew. as for sam, she ended up in the marketing committee, in charge of ticketing sales and advertising.
at first, sam didn't mind. she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. she was after all, a new member.but after sometime, she decided, that she really was not for this job. she wanted to act, she wanted center stage.
she devised a plan on how to convince karl to give her a new assignment. she thought of adding a new part in the play - a modern version of haley, the lead female. she prepared everything, even wrote her own version of the script and designed the set. karl read sam's proposed script and he thought it was a good idea. sam was so thrilled she memorized her lines, designed her costume, and memorized her cues, in less than a week.
but one day during regular friday rehearsals, sam received a note from karl. it read:
sorry sam, but i think the modern thing just isn't gonna work. thank you for the idea anyway - karl.
sam was crushed. she talked to karl, and he told her that the teachers just wouldnt appreciate it. seeing sam's frown, karl told her to just give up her task in the marketing committee. she wouldn't have to work because for karl, she did enough for the club. he would just need her to be his assistant, help him with the play, even direct if he's sick or something. sam said she'll think about it.
but sam heard from a friend what was really going on. karl was so stressed with his job that he planned on asking sam to take over whenever he feels tired. he knew sam wouldnt slack and that she was responsible enough, so she wont screw up. if she even makes the play better, he can take credit for it.
how sad for sam. she just wanted to be appreciated for her works. but yeah, life's unfair.
i know this story is not well-written but i found it very interesting, and very true. wala lang.
Praise God for the results of my 3rd online assessment. Im just happy na i finally got a decent grade. But my decent grade still is not enough to pull my average up since my first two online assessments were not that good. actually, i failed the first one. so right now, im quite within the average. one more online assessment coming up! sana ok din.
nasa sci cblc nga pala ko ngayon sa science lib. quite funny and quite stupid, i thought there was gek2507 lab today. wala pala. good thing kaklase ko si mike and good thing, mas una ang sked nya ng lab sa akin. i called him up and he confirmed na wala ngang lab this week.
im waiting for 4pm. in-class tutorial ng isa ko pang GEM (general education module). nag-pprint na rin ako ng lecture notes and tutorials. im sure boring na naman ang in-class tutorial. well, basta, ganun naman palagi eh.
after class, i need to work work work... oh well, kailangan pa pala ipa-xerox ung youth group material sa church. thanks wayne for agreeing to help.
ACET na pala sa sabado! hmmm... hindi ko pa nakakusap bro ko... i dont even know if he's taking the ACET on saturday or on sunday. haha. well, God bless na lang jourd!
its almost 4, gotta go to the LT... and sleep! haha, just kidding.
i just can't wait for my 4-day break starting monday. why? kasi walang pasok! yeah! so hindi ko kailangan gumising ng maaga! yey!
but still, i have to do a lot of requirements sa 4-day break. metab, finance, logic, 02, and stats! shoot. hindi na rin yata sya break ah. and to make things worse, S/U deadline is on the 23rd! kainis naman oh, pwede bang 24th na lang ng 11:59 pm? para naman natapos ko man lang ang midterms ko. haaaay.
have stuff to do pa... nyt!
the pinoy party was super fun! hehe. akala ko konti lang yung pupunta pero we got a turnout of 60+ people!!! yey!!!
anyways, akala ko naman we'll be able to start by 7pm. pero wel, we started an hour late (hmmm bakit kaya? hehe) siguro mga 7:30 pm na. had ice breakers, formal introductions, food, presentation, games. naubusan ako ng boses dun ah. hehe.
thanks again to everyone who went to the party! thank you thank you.
then we had to walk to pgp. shoot. i was wearing the most uncomfortable footwear of all. haha. akala ko kasi may bus pa. onga naman, wala ng bus by 11 pm noh.
sunday we went to church. wasn't able to join the music ministry dahil hindi ako nakapgpractice nung saturday (dahil nga sa party). we went to orchard road after para magpa-book ng tickets. then went back to NUS. the 143 bus ride was so long... hindi man lang kami nakaupo. akala ko naman madaming bababa sa chinatown or something. oh wel.
i was chatting with a friend tapos out of the blue bigla na lang nya ko tinanong if ****** **** ** ** *****. haha. wel, ang masasabi ko lang ay NO. akala nya cguro dati. and when i asked my friend bakit naman nya naisip yun, sabi nya "wala lang". oh well.
i did my stats homework and akala ko naman matatapos ko yun kagad. but i was wrong. haaay, so puyat na naman ako kagabi. went to lecture(s) kanina. buti hindi ako nakatulog sa lecture. hehe.
my cousins and my aunt are coming on the 24th! yey! wala lang.
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things define what’s within
And I been there before but that’s life’s a bore, so full of the superficial
Some people want it all, but I don’t want nothing at all
If it aint you baby, if I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything
But everything means nothing if I aint got you, yeah
i like this song... well, some people may notice than ive been listening to this song for the past few days... na lss na nga si ferron dahil sakin. hehe.
wel, i think its actualy a good song to sing to God... wel, palitan mo lang yung "baby" parts... coz, yeah, its true... everything means nothing if i aint got Jesus.
this day was pretty interesting. but first, you might be wondering how come i'm blogging since its already past 2 am. well, kasi, im stil working (with karen, thru chat) on my stats assignment. haaaay.
kailangan ko pa naman gumising ng maaga tom... actually later... kasi its N. Leh Ming time! hehehe... (i altered the spelling baka ma-search sa google, hehe) good thing i already have a recorder... big help.
This day was interesting coz church was good. I re-joined the Worship and Music Ministry after more than 4 months (wel kse, i went to the philippines)... but now, im joining the Joshua team. Why? Kasi, wel, the new ones are going to joshua, as well as the other NUS people. And, i get to sleep 8 hours (or more) :)
it was real nice to see chin and erika kanina. wel kse i was expecting them to go to the morning service lang. but they joined us sa joshua! yey!
i played the violin nga pala... wel not that good really... i just wonder what other people thought of that kind of playing... oh wel... pero i dont play for them naman eh, I play for God... and next time sana hindi na ko kabahan... para mas maganda tugtog ko for God.
i have to sleep na. zzzzz...sweet dreams everyone!
Half the night I waste in sighs
Half in dreams I sorrow after
The delight of early skies
In a wakeful doze I sorrow
For the hand, the lips, the eyes
For the meeting of the morrow
The delight of happy laughter
The delight of low replies
