.. I'm not sure if the same practice is done here in the philippines, but if so, we all better think twice.

86%

I finished my final exam a while ago (1:30am-3:30am-EST) and got an 86%!!!

I can now take a little breather from all the studying and the worrying that I won't pass because I just did! hehe.. Actually, the licensed group got the highest scores but that was to be expected anyways. I'm just glad I passed and can now move on with my life.. oops there's still one more challenge I have to go through tonight -mock calls with Rai! uh-oh..

Anyways, I did something stupid yesterday and erased my multiply account, meaning all the pics I uploaded were all gone. I was trying to delete the 'kyelaa' account but ended up deleting the one I'm actually using. See, I'm not such a savant after all. So yesterday, in between peeks into the e*trade site, my gigantic binder and notebooks, I began to rebuild my multiply site again. I figured, Inna would wonder what happened to me since it was our only means of semi-regular communication through site comments. haha.. It's up again but I don't think I'll be able to finish all the picture captions since I'm feeling a bit groggy fom lack of sleep the entire week and would have to hit the sack before the noon sun entirely deprives me of slumber.

So there you go. Just wanted to drop by and give a heads up.

Oh yeah, Biggx texted me yesterday asking when I'll be home so she an drop off the invite to her wedding but I never got a reply.

CONGRATULATIONS BIGGX AND MARK!!!Ü I wish you guys luck and a happy life together.

my bloglog

It's a small world after all..

Today was the first day I went to Galleria again in such a long time.. Went there primarily to get my COE from Corie, but when I got there with Behng, Corie, all of a sudden had to ditch us. AGAIN. And so we decided to buy some stuff from the grocery when lo and behold, the Person-Who-Shall -Not-Be-Named appeared from my periphery with somebody all too familiar.

I'm not big on chance meetings, especially if the person isn't that close anymore. I just had to avoid the meeting lest I get stuck with fake "word-vomit" in the middle of the mall..

Anyways, I'm really off to bed now since I have a 9pm shift tonight.. so I'll just come back when I've got more stamina to think and write out my thoughts.

'Night for now.

I think Rommel took this video while Kath was planning the teambuilding around 2 years ago.. Notice the drawings on the white board.. hehe.

midterm madness

See my clutter? It's only 2 days before midterms and I still don't understand a lot of things.. especially holding times on bank deposits.. bleh. Good thing the exam is open everything (notes, modules, PCs) so I guess I just need to master navigating so I'll know where to go. I can't wait to finish training as well as the nesting period. This surely is a lot harder than what I thought but I strongly feel it's all worth it. S7 here I come, cringing all the way.

I'm still buiyng time and basically avoiding studying so forgive me for the random thoughts.. Oh yeah, here's a shot of the view from my room..

If you look very closely, UB is actually on the second picture.. hehe. I will forever miss that building. Too many memories there i guess.

Anyways, I'm hungry.. I had my braces adjusted yesterday and all my teeth feel like they're about to fall off and are too weak to bite anything harder than bread.. So i'm on a bread diet since dinner last night which is gruesome since I can't eat as much as I want to. Oh well.

Onto another week of studying tomorrow.. Rai will be out for the week and will be substituted by someone who looks very familiar.. I forgot her name though. So before I finally go, here's a quote from one of my favorite books of all time, Richad Paul Evans' The Carousel:

"Rarely do we invest the time to open the book of another's life. When we do, we are usually surprised to find its cover so misleading and its reviews so flawed."

That "High School Physics" feeling..

It's been 2 straight days that I'd find myself just staring at Rai when she's having lectures up front.. I mean, i get to scribble little notes on the things i hear but i really find it hard to focus... and most of the time i am just too sleepy to listen.. I'm back in high school Physics.
