Finals are too soon

Before I drown myself in the depths of the sea of lessons I have to review and suffocate from the lack of social life, I would like to take this moment to appreciate life.

*long awkward pause*

If anyone out there would like to share something extraterrestrial, supernatural, a witty bit of wisdom, now's the right time.

And then here comes some memes to keep us from getting insane as the final examinations week, a.k.a. "Hell Week", otherwise know as the death of me, gets nearer by the second, but let's keep optimistic, shall we?

True story. We just got the news today.

October started

Just when I thought I've seen it all, the Cebu dancing inmates steal the scene and dance to Psy's Gangnam Style. I found this out through a Rappler article and I just can't sit here and not share it. It seems that the Gangnam Style has not lost its touch yet. 

Halloween costume suggestions

I passed by a few toy stores today and they were already displaying costumes for Halloween. Since October is just two days away and Halloween is another month's wait, I decided to make a list of possible costume ideas that people with similar taste as mine would like. It's funny that I'm making this but I'm not really a fan of dressing up. Maybe I'll have fun this year and try doing one of these, even if it entails for me to cross-dress  So without further ado, here we go.

Polarity

This is really a super-duper late article that I shouldn't even be trying to finish because (1) the event took place weeks ago, (2) I still have homework and lots of them, and (3) remembering the night gives me the feels-- that falling sensation in the pit of your stomach, the instant increase of your heart beat rate, and the smile that doesn't leave your face until you realize that it's there. So here we go!

Nobody told me that a night with chemistry majors would be fun. It was a Friday night, September 14 to be exact, when our batch of applicants hosted a party called Polarity. It was a dinner party with a talent show featuring Inversion, our official batch name as this semester's applicants for the UP Association of Chemistry Majors and Enthusiasts (UPACME), and lots of fun games, which I organized. (Proud program committee right here!) It was a Noir-inspired night of mystery and madness and fun-- more on the happy-crazy-parteh side of madness, not the dark Imma-kill-you-and-torture-you-and-possibly-kill-you-even-more-when-I-feel-like-it. (Where did that come from?) Must be because of the three words: polarity, noir and inversion. Get it? Get it?

New Trailer

Today, a new trailer for the movie The Hobbit was released and I am more excited than ever for December 14, 2012. I'm not quite sure if The Hobbit will be released on the same date in the Philippines though, but I shall watch the movie on its opening week in eye-popping 3D no matter what. (Friends, save the date, OK?)

For everyone, here's the new trailer of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Nothings on a Rainy Day

After a month-long hiatus in blog writing, it feels quite difficult to write non-academic articles. I have been writing laboratory reports and essays day in, day out this semester that I cannot see writing as a recreational activity or an exercise of imagination anymore. My usual excuse would be my academics and, well, my application process for an organization, but are they really valid excuses? Better time management skills and discipline to stay away from distractions (such as television shows, movies and the Internet) could have helped me do everything I want- both necessary and vanity- in all the proper time. Keyword is "proper".

I wish I have more thought-provoking things to say.

On the other hand, I have pictures as documentation of the events in the past few months. Nothing fancy, really. Just a few stolen shots of people I was with for the past 3 months.

Speaking of months, join me in celebrating my one year and three months of college life. Three cheers, everyone. Hep hep hooray! Hep hep hooray! Hep hep hooray!

Rain won't dampen the Filipino Spirit

From the deep abyss of her bed, the blogger gets up as if one of the living dead.

Somehow, I do feel like a zombie because of the consecutive days of suspended classes due to this infernal weather of torrential rains and strong winds that poured from the weeping heavens. I may complain about my academic hiatus (that I shouldn't have in the first place because I still have a pile of school work to finish) and how it made my mind mushy, but that would be very selfish of me. However, I would definitely tell everyone how proud I am of the Filipinos who helped their fellow citizens in the recent calamity. It should be noted that the calamity did not reach any storm signal. It was not even a typhoon but monsoon rains-- heavy monsoon rains that went on for more than 24 hours at that. It was also preceded by the typhoon "Gener", so I think the effects of the previous rains were not, uhm, washed off yet.

Alarm

The toughest battle I face is the battle that I go through almost everyday: waking and getting up early. Thank God for the weekends when I could extend sleep. Otherwise, say hello to Zombie Naj.

On BK's customer service

It was around seven in the evening, the time when the number of customers reaches its peak as it is dinner time, when I came to Burger King. It surprised me that there were many chairs and tables available in the store but I still had a hard time looking for one that was vacant. That was also the time when I met a guy who was fuming about the inconsiderate freeloaders who selfishly stayed in the store for the internet connection, to the inconvenience of paying customers. Last night, I sat with a stranger as I ate at Burger King, not because I wanted to know this guy but because I have nowhere else to eat. From his rants, to which I agree with, I believe that  Burger King should draft policies about its free in-store Wifi connection because freeloaders stay in the store indefinitely, actual buying customers experience inconvenience and the store might experience financial problems soon.

Hello, July

Last night, I ended June by cooking pasta for dinner and watching an LOTR marathon in HBO

One does not simply walk into Mordor.
Life is not a computer which can be screen captured, so I just took a picture of the TV.
