Bababa ba?

Finally. After three sleepless nights and four hard drive reformats, I was able to pull this off. I can now boot either Ubuntu or Mac OS X on my PowerBook upon startup.

My PowerBook’s sexier than ever!

Because besides the gameplay, I LOVE the stories. And wow, Crisis Core has got to have one of the best stories, ever. And the ending felt very much like it was from a movie, complete with theme song, ending credits, etc.

You just gotta love Final Fantasy VII.

Zack. :(

I demand an FFVII remake! Ang pangit ng graphics eh. Hahaha. And I can’t find our old cds. :p

Up next in the geekiness: rewatching Advent Children. HAHAHA

Summer! <3 You’re finally here. Oh summer! Sweet, sweet, sticky, sweaty summer. :D

I have approximately two weeks before I go back to damnation, err, chemnation. HAHAHA.

Chem17 for summer = aaaaaaargh.

But yeah, I have two weeks to bum around.

4% til completion. 40 more megabytes to go. POTEK PANO PA AKO MAKAKAPAG-ARAL NITO.

I’ve been tinkering with my brothers’ Rubik’s cube for a while. Ever since I independently figured out how to do the first layer, I just had this desire to finish the cube. I finished my first 2×2 cube last Thursday night, and my first 3×3 on Friday night with the help of Vince, Bingot and Chato.

Now, I’m still in the process of learning, and finding the logic and arithmetic behind the algorithms they provided me. So to make things a bit somewhat easier, besides giving names to the moves that I do, I imagined the cube as one atom with different colored electron. I imagined that solving the cube was like looking for the electron configuration of that atom.

It was like moving the electrons around, filling in each layer, each side, each configuration before I get to the final state of the “atom.” HAHAHA.

I’m being brainwashed. Tch.

… I turn to my Triple Point.

Someone who exists in three states at once, not only in certain conditions, but all possible conditions. Someone who doesn’t need a certain temperature and pressure just to be in three states at once.

When my bonds start to loosen and break…

When I’m about to melt and break down…

When I’m about to reach my boiling point…

When I’m about to evaporate and explode…

He’s there.

He lowers my vapor pressure.

He makes me more viscuous.

He strengthens my IMFAs.

He makes me more ionic than dipole-dipole, than London dispersion.

HAHAHA.

Writing this has made me feel a little better. :)

Prayers, please.

I can’t afford to fail Chem. I’m already delayed by 10 units. Mahirap nang maging 15 yun. T_T

Disclaimer: This has got to be my nerdiest reflection ever.

I was in Mcdonald’s Katipunan this morning, waiting for the Katipunan traffic to lessen a bit, when I decided to open my beloved University Physics book to the 33rd chapter: The Nature and Propagation of Light.

The first section discussed light’s peculiar wave-particle duality: light exists as both a particle and a wave.

I can’t open the Office 07 files I wrote in Ate Jessica’s house.

I can’t open MS Office when I’m connected to the net because “another user is using it.” Apparently, my Mac: MS Office needs a license of it’s own.

Grr.

I am now a proud owner of a PowerBook! HAHAHA. All of you, bow down to me!

Well, if you’re wondering where I got all the money for a PowerBook, I didn’t.

All I got was this hand-me-down PowerBook G3 (aka Pismo) for around 1/10th the price of the latest PowerBook. Wheeee.

This is my second hand-me-down laptop. I hope this one doesn’t die on me.

This was bothering me since 12noon, and it was already 10:30pm when I finally discovered how to answer it. Para lang mapakawalan ko ito, isusulat ko rito ang problema at ang sagot. XD

Show that sin(x+iy) = sinxcoshy+icosxsinhy
Given sinz = [e^(iz) - e(-iz)] / 2i and cosz = [e^(iz) + e(-iz)]

Proof:
a. sin(x+iy) = sinxcosiy+cosxsiniy (by trig identity)
b. cosiy=coshy (by given, definition of hyperbolic cosine)
c. siniy=isinhy (by given, definition of hyperbolic sine)
d. sin(x+iy) = sinxcoshy+icosxsinhy (by substitution, a, b) QED

Hindi ako ganun ka-geek! Woohoo!

My Creative Writing teacher once said that technology somehow brings us farther apart. The convenience of just sending a person text messages or electronic mails widens the gap between the concerned people. Rather than seeing and meeting each other physically for updates on each other’s lives, one could just twiddle with a few buttons, click send, and voila! You’re connected. The problem, I guess, with these technological innovations is that they take away the luxury of physical and intimate contact.

But what about if there’s no other way? What if the person is out of the country? Surely you can’t just take a plane just to see how he or she is.

Niel, a dear friend of mine, celebrated her birthday yesterday. Problem is, she’s in Australia. So how the heck could we celebrate her 18th birthday with her?

Through the Internet, of course!

Yesterday, her group of friends organized a surprise potluck webcam party so we could celebrate her birthday “with” her. They set a laptop on a table, attached a webcam beside it and pointed it to the dining area. Though there were some technical problems (storm in Australia and late guests and we had to wait for a few more hours til uptime was possible), it was sure an exciting idea.

The party was awkward and exciting at the same time. It felt weird seeing the birthday girl on the laptop screen as we all were seated in the tables, eating. But it just felt good that we can see her and she can see us.

Belated happy birthday Niel! May you bring home the joys and happiness of kangaroos and koala bears. :)

Our internet connection shut down at around 1am this morning. BayanDSL was down in our neighborhood. It would’ve been a much much welcomed break, since this means I could sleep earlier (no more distractions for me that would drag my sleeping time to 4am). But no, Mom desperately needed connection, as there were Virtual clients waiting for her online.

So off to an adventure we went. I drover her to Mcdo Matalino, thinking the coffee shop beside was online. But alas, their routers were shut down, and we had to find other hotspots.

We were sitting in Mcdo, thinking of other options, when I crazily suggested we go to Eastwood. Yep, Eastwood, 1:30am, weekday. Mom readily agreed and off we went to Eastwood City.

Eastwood was heaven-sent, as they had 24-hour wifi access throughout the city. Thank God for unlimited Airborne Access, and Mom was able to do what she needed to do. Though Starbucks kicked us out (because they had to close at 3am), Eastwood was very accommodating as they had wifi all throughout. As Mom typed (and talked) away on her Macbook, I on the other hand was fiddling with my PSP, playing games through the wee hours of the morning.

Driving home at 5am was exciting and scary at the same time. Hahaha. It was dark, and there were no other cars in sight.

I’m glad that’s over. But I’m willing to go on another adventure like that. Next time I wish Something Fishy was open when we go (P80 breakfast buffet, baby!).

It was one of the times I’m so glad that I owned a PSP, as it kept me busy, entertained, and awake. Hahaha.

I’ve had the ctfmon.exe trojan for the longest time, but I didn’t do anything about it since I thought it was the harmless ctfmon.exe system file. Argh.

Once all my torrent downloads are finished I’m switching back to Linux

HAHA. So nerdy. Was snatched from Troy’s Multiply, which was snatched from another site.

1. Can I have your significant numbers?
2. Einstein had great hair, didn’t he? I just love your hair.
3. Wanna dance? I can really put your inertia in motion.
4. Your eyes have a perfect wavelength of 563.4 nm.
5. You’re more special than relativity.
6. Those other guys said that your eyes shine like stars. But can they explain how they shine with equal brightness?
