Bababa ba?

Sorry everyone. A lot of things have been happening at home (personal problems at home which I would rather not disclose to the public), and in school too. Exams tomorrow, and I still haven’t finished studying. Damn power outages.

Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon or evening, I would be replying to your emails, comments, etc.

To the UP Bloggers’ Circle: I’ll be back! Just keep the discussions going. Hindi lang naman ako yung tao dun, diba?

But, but, but, some updates on us.

On its official recognition by the university: Various discussions have been going on in the Bloggers’ Circle Yahoo! group. Sir Rommel had suggested that university recognition might not be such a good idea, because “bloggers belong to the blogosphere, beyond the reach of the University rules.”

So, Sir Rom proposed that we first make this a formal virtual organization.

Another point raised was regarding central advocacies. Alex said in his message that we should “get [our] advocacies right the first time … We don’t know if blogging will still be a feasible technology two years from now. Why not expand the idea to New Media?”

Marielle agrees with Alex, saying, “[maybe] in 5 years, blogging will go out of style… It might be better to be an organization for social media, because it encompasses so much more than just blogging.”

In the most recent message, Sir Rom addresses the concern regarding structure. He asks, “what are we trying to achieve in putting structure in an otherwise unstructured blogosphere?”

So what do you guys think?

PS. To the students, alumni, faculty of UP who have commented in my blog and other blogs re: wanting to join. We need you! :D We need your ideas, your wisdom, your help. The Circle is open to every student/alumni/faculty of UP.

I was supposed to write about something, but, the heat melted my brain away. I’ve been here staring at my “Create New Post” tab for around an hour now, while chatting, and texting at the same time.

It’s super-duper-mega hot. Oh gulay. A lot of people are complaining. If you see the YM statuses and the recent Tweets, the most common word would be the words heat, hot, and global warming. What sucks the most is that we can’t do anything about it, unless we want to spend some moolah on air-conditioning (electricity bills, rising! LOL).

Dad surprised me this morning. Starting today I can bring the car to Math. Provided that I don’t crash it, scratch it, or dent it. :p And, I must bring it home immediately. So, the heat won’t be a problem traveling from home to school, and from school to home. (special mention to the Sexiest Mother alive for being such a good persuasive speaker! Hahaha).

RHP slept-over last night. Well, actually it wasn’t much of a sleep-over since we were only able to get an hour of shut-eye. It was more of a nap-over, I guess. :p

The initial plan was to sleep at my house, and when morning strikes, we march to UP to try to get our subjects manually. But nooooo. CRS just had to experiment on us.

They tried this new real-time registration system, wherein all registration would be done online. Sure, it sounded easy, but UP’s servers gave up on us. So, it was far, far from easy.

The service was supposed to be up by around 8am. So we woke up at around 7:30 (after 2-3 hours of sleep) and started our attempts to log-in. We were finally able to log-in at around 10am. I was able to retrieve and print my Form5A as we were trying to log into another account through the other laptops present in my house (yay wifi!). But the CRS (or should I say, UIS?) site kept on kicking us out and giving us error pages.

We were only able to retrieve 3 Form5A’s and Aya was able to enlist in Math54. It took us more than 6 hours of trying to log-in and trying to enlist, a McDonald’s breakfast delivery, a full-length movie, and a lot of bonding time.

Was tuned-in to Peyups.com all the time. People were going crazy since logging-in and enlisting was impossible. It said that internet shops in Philcoa and SC were jam-packed.

But enough about that. Nakaka-init ng ulo. :p

Last night, or last morning rather, was fun! Ghost story-telling, cheesy story-telling, past school story-telling, heart to heart talks, ice cream, bean bags, movies, bloody movies, funny movies, card games, etc etc. It was like a high-school classnight, but more fun, as there were less people present. And the people present were very close to your heart (makes me feel bad about leaving Stat).

Stories were endless. When one ends his or her story, another would follow with his or her own. I guess that’s why we were inclined not to sleep. Well, besides the freaky ghost stories and Mic rushing down from the top of the double deck. No one wanted to sleep on top because, well, it felt scary up there.

So the sleeping arrangement: on the mattress on the floor are Mic, BA, pillow, Tina while in the bottom of the double deck were Gege and Han. (OMG I slept with Tina and Mic. Putek! Ang sama pakinggan!)

Slept at around 5 or 6. The others, I don’t know. Gege, wasn’t able to sleep at all. We all had to wake up at around 8 to be first in line for the new real-time registration system. But then again, as stated above it wasn’t working. :p Oh well.

So we marched to Math (for classcards) and then to Stat to see if we could make something happen. Only some of us were able to get our Form5s, so, boo. And when we were about to get our Form5s assessed, Sir Joyce disappeared, so, double, boo.

Oh well.

Thanks, Han Mic Gege Tina for sleeping over, and thanks Tonico, Casey and Aya for passing by. :)

I think it would’ve been weird if you bumped into me in the Podium last night.

You see, I was surfing non-stop on my PSP (yeah, still nameless) since the Podium was offering free wi-fi services (or was I leeching from an open unprotected router?). I still haven’t received my final Math grade, so I felt the need to check my grades on CRS every now and then. I’ve been to Mr. Wee’s office, and he told me I’d be passing Math53 (oh joy!) but he wasn’t sure of my final grade yet.

So there I was in an escalator when I looked at the grades viewing for the nth time when I saw a 2.25 beside Math53! I started running and jumping up and down and running again (yeah, I was that ecstatic. XD)
Yebah!

I was expecting it to be around 2.75-3.0, but, Mr. Wee had the heart to raise our grades a bit (and to cancel our lowest exam, too!)

Sir Wee! Salamat po!!! ^_^

So, hello Math54! Hindi pala masasayang ang slot na nakuha ko sa CRS. XD

To all who remembered (or knew through Friendster, Multiply, of BirthdayAlarm): THANK YOU!!! :D Love ko kayong lahat, hehehe.

Salamat sa lahat ng nag-greet sa akin through…

Happy birthday to me! Hahahaha.

Putek, anu ba yun, I greeted myself. Wahahahaha. XD

Spent the day with my lovely Stat freshie friends, aka, the RHP. Hehehe. Surprised me with a cake, and an, err, birthday paper with some dedications and a vandalized picture of me. Just follow the pictures. hahaha

Thanks, Han, Mic, Tina, Gege, Tonico and Casey! ^_^ Love ko kayo.

I’ll be fixing my papers next week na lang. My 2nd sem TCG won’t be released until around April 10, so, I have to wait for that. I have all the requirements except that. Hahaha.

Birthday, in 20 mins. Yey!
