>:D

EDITED COS I'M TOO EMBARASSED NA. just when i thought i have the right to feel this way without being cautious. >_>; henako

java project? still no progress, if i really wanted to get over with the damned project i have to dedicate AN ENTIRE DAY reviewing everything about arrays, especially populating them, then i'd probably understand what's going on with sir's powerpoint lectures.

blank faces fill the class. though there's someone who impresses me... rogelio! or yow!, as i call him. he gets the freakin thing! i wish i had his programming intellect. he's far better than i am, seriously. galeeeeenng!

ms. tailor, come quick cos i wanna leave the house early. >:\

i realized i have so many things to do tonight and i'm not even worrying about them. T__T;; it's the usual indifference that plagued my entire UPLB life. hehe

ultimate love is found in friendship

the very first flag of the Philippines contrary to popular belief, isn't the revolutionary KKK red flag, but instead I I I (Alibata for Ka Ka Ka --- which is essentially just KKK).

now, Ka -- in the more ancient part of the Filipino language -- means 'pinaka', or the ultimate. So what KKK stands for, Kataas-taasan Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan, is literally the highest, most respectful, ultimate gathering of Filipino revolutionaries.

Filipino words were most probably coined that way, with meaningful suffixes.

so KAibigan, could mean ultimate love! at least in this country's linguistic sense. hahaha

awww, i love you friends! >:D

on Blogger's Jump Break and the all-new Friendster

Here's something I only picked up right now. Blogger Draft is now offering my favorite blogging feature more commonly known as 'Selective Expandable Posts' --- in the form of a Jump Break (you know, the 'Read More' link that cuts my entries), well I'm gonna have to redirect you cos I'm too lazy to explain it. Credits to Ysabel, for if i hadn't hopped on to her blog, I wouldn't have known about it. Thanks! Now instead of enclosing my entries with

which i learned from Hackosphere, now i only use

to mark the start of the cut. Smart!

Now, Blogger Draft is really spiffy, as I've recently discovered and I'm glad they included it AT LAST. I remember taking a survey from them which asks what features I want to see at Blogger in the future and it's my #1.

So, what's up with FRIENDSTER?



Friendster has turned green (with too much envy i guess?)!!! It's cool though, but that's just about my favorite part of the all-new Frienster --- the Login page (+the logo) --- cos the background is really cute and artsy. HAHA they've installed pretty much the same features as Facebook but I DON'T REALLY think that people (especially the whole flock of Filipino net addicts) will jump back to it. Not when they're already Livestock Lords at Farmville. >;P

Now that i'm on Blogger Draft, I kinda lost my Yahoo and Onion emoticons.
Wait, i'll work on that. >:)

#4 ftw?

read: 7 Things "Good Parents" Do (That Screw Kids Up For Life)

#4 says: Starting them in School Early

A study by the National Foundation for Educational Research in the UK has concluded that children who start schooling before the age of six are more likely to drop out from higher education facilities, smoke weed and play guitar badly.


LOL, really now?

i didn't really start school early, i got accelerated so i skipped prep, err i guess that counts? and when i stepped to grade 1, i am probably the dumbest, most incapable kid around. i didn't know how to write (cos they start teaching that at prep stage) and i was oblivious to the fact that i'm actually left handed. maybe that's why i sucked at writing, my mom would fetch me and find me alone in the room copying the writings on the board. then she'll do it for me, and erase the board after. wahaha. i survived highschool without any formal introduction to proper grooming, after all, what's the point in grooming in an all-girls school? college came and i was extremely undecided about my future, how can a 15 year old decide what to specialize at for the rest of her life? and so college was all about survival for me. it was only after 3 years and a hundred thousand++ bucks wasted that i came to my senses and realized what i must 'really' do to compensate for those three utterly dispassionate school years. SHIFT.

in a way, some parts of my schooling were a mess and sometimes i blame being too young for all the wrong decisions i've made. like i'm faced with adult matters that require at least 1 year of experience. it's only now that i'm trying to really 'fix' myself. so maybe Cracked is right, starting school early can screw up a kid, but not for life. >;P
