The thesis proposal defense


written last August 2, 2005 12:35 AM .
Posted by solitude12 | Comment on this entry .

Yesterday, 9:30am. I was really shocked when I woke up late. I will be having my thesis proposal defense at 11am, and I'm still home. My travel time is usually exactly 2 hours. I didn't take a bath and get into my clothes fast (hey, I took a bath at 4am that day anyway). But that took me for about 40 minutes And I was sure Roy was really, really nervous because of me.

I arrived at school by 11:50 am. When I was about to proceed to my classroom, I saw the YFC (Youth for Christ) booth. I got interested in joining. But I got hooked on talking with the booth personels and it took me another 10-15 minutes before I got into the classroom.

Luckily, the other students are still having their defense. I just laughed when my adviser jokingly told me that I would also get my grade late. tee-hee. And Roy was really nervous. Anyway, we had planned last Saturday how are we going to defend our proposal: we must present our software proposal as if it is a VERY complicated and advanced program (actually, it's not. LOL), and we also listed down some possible questions that our adviser may ask.

So there, we alternately explained the proposal in the way we planned, hoping that my Adviser will bite the bait. It's funny to see my fellow classmates and my adviser how they looked at us, as if they can't understand what the hell are we talking about. But still, they tried to act cool and looked serious as if they could understand. HAHAHA!

After we finished explaining, Ma'am Rose started asking questions, and we answered all of it. But the questions even never reached the middle of the proposal (because she can't understand us). But she just commented, "Good."

I think we passed so far. But still, we have to finish the chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the document.

Gah! snap out of it! *slaps my self*

A walk to forget...

Last night, went out of the house and I walked...

and walked...

and walked...

and walked...

and I walked while skies cry for me...

and I walked some more...

and I walked a little more...

I walked while I remember...

and I walked to forget...

to forget that feeling...
--------------------------

I am in a middle of confusion right now. And I have no one to hold on to

Life goes on. The world won't wait for me.

ichecheck na ni Ms. Rose ang document namin sa Monday pero di pa rin tapos waaaaaaaaa!

Bahala na. Basta may mapakita. Bakit kasi ang tagal ikabit ng PLDT ang DSL dun sa tita ko, samantalang sa commercial nila may bilis-bilis ek-ek pa silang nalalaman. Bolsyet!

Nagkakadarapa kami ngayon ni Roy sa paggawa.
-----------------------

Next week pala may raket ako. May bubuuin kami ng insan ko na Cyber Cafe sa loob ng Greenheights, Parañaque. Sana matapos ko agad yun kasi marami pa akong gagawin. Pag nakuha ko na ang bayad ko dun, bibili ako nito:

Yan ang Creative Muvo/Nomad TX FM. Pag-isipan ko kung 512mb or 256mb lang. wma/mp3 player with FM radio, mga around 3k ang 256 at 5k ang 512. baka 256 na lang, di naman ganun kalaki ang pera ko.

Epekto ng thesis

Ako'y malapit na maging isang ermitanyo.
Balbas, bigote at mahabang buhok na lang ang kulang.
Wala nang tumatawag sa kin.
Ni wala namang masyadong nagtetext,
di nakkikipagkita sa mga kabarkada.
Wala na munang EB.
Wala naman akong lablayp na pagbabalingan ng atensyon.
Araw-araw ay kaharap ang computer,
nakakulong sa kuwarto.
Mag-isa.
Kasama lang ay si Mike,
yung libreng laruan sa Happy Meal, na character sa Monster Inc.
At ang aking hamster.
Buti pa sila naiintindihan nila ako.
NYAHAHAHAHA!
Saya.

Nothing much yesterday. di ko namalayan na 7am na pala, at di pa ko natutulog. May pasok pa dapat ako, at ichecheck ni ma'am ang docu ng thesis. Pero di ako pumasok. Di pa naman submission e. 7am, tsaka pa lang ako natulog. Puyat.

Gumising ako ng tanghali nun. Kailangan ko kasi ng pera, at hihingi ako sa Tita Mely ko sa Alabang. Kailangan ko ng bond papers (at maraming-marami nun!) para pang-print ng thesis at ilang piraso ng blank cds para sa mga program na kakailanganin ko dun sa binubuo kong cyber cafe sa Parañaque.

Buti binigyan naman ako ni tita. At sya na rin ang bumili ng bond paper para sa akin (bait talaga!) Tapos bumili rin ako ng 25 pieces ng blank cds.

Muntik ko na makalimutan gawin yung 3 lines dun sa St. Francis' Prayer...

"Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted,
To understand, than to be understood,
To love than to be loved..."

Maybe ganun lang talaga ang buhay. I should not expect so much in return. Bigay ka na lang dapat ng bigay.
---------------------------

Nakakarecover na ko. hehe. Good. Thank God. Thank God for so many things happening to me, whether it's good or bad.

Thesis research


written last August 10, 2005 12:45 AM .
Posted by solitude12 | 2 commented .

To those who are wondering what's my thesis is all about, my research tackles about weblog (di halatang addict sa blog ano po?). Basta, I'm developing a software that will make blogging easier for everybody.

During my thesis research, I found out so many interesting facts and articles about blogging. Like for example...

- There is this famous guy on the net named Jason Kottke (pronounced as kot-ki). He is the owner of http://www.kottke.org. This guy left his career on Sony (Yes. Sony. That big time company.) to be just a full-time blogger. But in fairness, his website earns a lot.

- Just this year, on the month of May, there held something called the , “1st Philippine Blogging Summit”. It was held at the UP campus. I'm not sure what have they discussed.

- Last year, there held a contest for the best Filipino blogs. One of this year's nominee the category "most informative blog" is from a famous woman named Connie Veneracion, a.k.a. The Sassy Lawyer. I visited her site, and I found out it IS really informative. Love her blog. And the blog site of the year for 2004 went to http://www.kutitots.com/.

- I've also passed by a website named pinoyblog.com. Now this is a very cool site. It contains feeds from a lot of other registered filipino bloggers out there. And almost every blog contains interesting and witty topics. I really enjoyed reading every blog I see there.

- http://korealife.blogspot.com/philippines/ . I was reading this blog, created by a foreigner. He's not Korean (well... according to him. I wonder why he called it korealife?) This guy is telling his story about his travel in the Philippines. He was travelling around Metro Manila. Just read this blog and tell me how you find it. According to him, he didn't like his adventure here. I can't blame him. It's true.

- You may also visit these other interesting blog and articles about blogs:
Ka Edong (the Most Informative Blog for 2004)

What if you earn $14,436.45 a month for blogging...

Bloggers learn the price of telling too much

Add pa ko ng iba pag may naresearch pa ako.
------------------

Sa kakabasa ng iba't ibang blogs na nadaanan ko, lalo na yung mga nominees dun sa blog awards, may narealize lang akong isang bagay: Marami pa ang kakainin kong bigas. Kailangan ko pa palang mag-evolve. Marami pa akong dapat talagang matutunan. Medyo napa-nganga ako sa mga designs ng mga magagaling na bloggers na nakita ko. Buti na lang may isang taong matiyagang sumasagot ng mga tanong ko sa web designs kahit papaano. At syempre, kailangan ng maraming self-discovery.








Love is...

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Often times, I needed to be cold. I need it so that I won't feel my solitude. I'm sorry.

My deadline is on Wednesday.

For some reason, my PC broke down. The registry got corrupted somehow. Maybe a virus infection. So, I was forced to format my PC.

I'm so tired...
------------------------

Next time, I'll just continue my story about last weekend. I'm just so tired right now...

We beat the deadline! Thanks to people who prayed for me. Thank God.

I'm almost finished at Thesis A. We just only have to take the final exam, then we're done.

Next semester will be more challenging. I don't have time for vacation right now (even though vacation is near). I must think how to program our thesis proposal. Goodluck to us.








Gratitude, Maturity, Honesty, & Emptiness

Natutuwa naman ako.

It's been almost four months since I took up my thesis. At nang magsimula akong mag-aral muli, ang daming nangyaring pagbabago sa buhay ko. I was child-like, but not childish. I think I can consider myself "mature" now, although everybody has their own immaturity.

Isang araw sa Cyber Cafe, mga ala-una ng hapon...

Ako : Oo nga e...
Ryan : Nagugutom ka na ba?
Ako : Di pa. Kaw?
Ryan : Di pa rin. Sabihin mo sa kin pag nagugutom ka na ha?
Ako : *aba manlilibre ata to a...*
Ryan : May rugby ako dito. Session tayo. Nyahahaha!
Ako : Amp!








Nakapagod kahit bakasyon na!

Days ago, natapos ko na rin yung cyber cafe sa Greenheights, Parañaque. Medyo maraming naging problema, lalo na nung in-install ko na yung cyber cafe software doon. Grabe yan. Nabayaran naman kami ng insan ko ng P12,000 doon (50-50 kami). Pero may utang pa sa akin yung may-ari ng shop na 4.5k, para dun sa lahat ng software na ininstall ko. Wala pa talaga akong plano kung anong gagawin ko dun sa additional 4.5k (babayaran ko na lang PC ko siguro), pero ubos na yung 6k. Bumili ako ng cheap na MP3 player, yung Creative Muvo, 256mb. Three Thousand lang bili ko. Wala syang FM radio, nor shuffle capability. Wala ring LCD display. Wala e, yan lang kaya ko. Pero ok na yan hehe.

Yung natitirang pera ay ilalaan ko na lang sa mga makabuluhang bagay.
--------------------------

Di ko alam kung dapat ba akong ma-konsensya. Kinukwestyon ng tita ko at ng mama ko ang pag-bili ko ng MP3 player na yan. Dapat daw sana sa mas makabuluhang bagay ko na lang ginamit ang pera, at tama sila dun. Pero matagal ko na gusto magkaroon nyan, and I earned the money fair-n-square. Minsan lang ako magkaluho sa katawan ko. Bakit ganun? Bakit yung kapatid ko bumili dati ng vcd player, walang kumontra? Pati tv. Malaki rin nagastos nya sa motorcycle nya, pero bakit wala ring nagtanong? Ako isang chipipay lang na tig-3k na ganyan lang, kinukwestyon na nila ako.

Hay naku. Ok lang. Ganun talaga ang buhay. Tama sila dun, pero minsan, di nila narirealize na nagiging unfair sila. And no, I don't envy my brother. I just want the people around me to be fair.
--------------------------

Eto ako, nagsisimula nang mag-program ng thesis ko. Hindi naman sa nagiging pessimistic ako. Realistic lang. Di ako sigurado kung makakagraduate ako sa december, kasi di ko alam kung kaya kong tapusin ang program sa loob ng 4 na buwan lang. In the normal flow of AMA trimester, thesis A is in last tri of 3rd year, then may bakanteng isang tri, then yung thesis B sa last tri ng 4th year (4th year, 2nd tri). Ang gusto naman ng mga nagpapaaral sa akin, kuhanin ko agad. Di ko alam kung possible yun, unless siguro, magpagawa ako ng program sa ibang tao, which is ayaw ko naman gawin. Bahala na. Wala sa options ko ang mag-graduate next year. Kung wala talaga, ok lang. God help us.

Ako ay nagpalipas ng ilang araw sa bahay ng aking tiya sa Alabang, dahil... wala lang. Maka ilang araw rin akong di nakalasap ng internet, sapagkat walang internet dun (ala eh, pagkakabagal nireng PLDT! Ala'y mag-isang bu-wan na kaming naghihintay eh...)

Dahil kinabukasan ay kailangan kong pumunta muna sa bahay ng aking kasamahan sa tisis upang pag-usapan ang aming plano kung kami ba ay dapat pumasok sa darating na semestre. At oo, nagpunta nga ako kinabukasan. Gumawa na rin kami ng ilang maliit na bahagi ng programa sa kompyuter. Pero sa araw na iyon, nabigo kami. Mukhang mahihirapan talaga kami. Nawa'y patnubayan ng Diyos ang aming pagsasaliksik.

Ay si-ya. Ako'y mahihimbing na at ako'y may pagkakakitaan na naman mamaya. Maaga pa ako gigising.

A few days ago, I agreed to work with Jonathan do a thesis for his cousin who is currently studying in Lyceum-Manila. I did agreed because I thought that the program would be easy and less time consuming (remember, I still got my own thesis to do).

Compliment me!

One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are awesome. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind how great you are.

**Note: just got this from my LJ friends.
