13 days

it's been 13 days since i've posted. there has been a lot of things that happened during the course of the 13 days.

one things is that it's my sister's birthday today. i already greeted her a happy birthday on her facebook wall. i hope she gets to read it soon enough.

second, there have been a lot of issues regarding my public servant life. a lot of people with a negative character that's beyond the capability of measurement keeps on hammering us down. forcing us to submit to their own will. well i tell them that w

e're no muslims, and they are no god for us to submit to their will. i know one day, the real God from heaven shall smite them of their since and banish them in hell for all eternity.

third, my own project in the sc has been in the hangups for a while now. it's been delayed for two weeks. i wonder what's the delay all about? i'm just waiting for the proposals to be signed. there's absolutely nothing there that would merit it to be delayed for two weeks. now i wonder why can a person, who has no objective reason in the world to delay it will not sign it..? hmm...

lastly, i saw megamind (picture below) with cy. it's such a wonderful animation. i haven't seen that kind of story concept before. it amused me for awhile. it made me forget my problems in life for a while.

this is a sure damn good movie. i recommend you guys watch it on the big screen in 2D. :P

It's not a towel!

as i was browsing through my email and chatting with my fellow YFCs in the fb chat, i encountered an old email that was so cute for me. it's about a dog that looks like a towel. he's so cute, i'm sure you guys will feel the same.

here he is...

told you he's cute. :)

the return of the comeback.

i've been on hiatus for around 7 months now. i guess it is about time i get back into blogging again. hopefully soon i could catch this blog up with the things that happened in my life in the past 7 months. i really did planned to do blogging before to help improve my writing skills, but when the lack of inspiration and flowery words are your opponents, it really does need something that could motivate you to write.

anyway i'll end here for now. maybe tomorrow i could write something nice.

oh and by the way, I LOVE MY YFC FAMILY. :)

I have cast my vote

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. -John Quincy Adams

today is my first time to vote. and this is one hell of an experience. first of all i am the only voter in our family who will vote in taguig. the rest of my family are voters in makati. i woke up around 6:00 am and i immediately drank my morning coffee and took a bath. i left home around 6:30 am in the hopes of being in my precinct at around 7:00 am. my precinct was at tenement elementary school and i already made my research as to where the location of my precinct is. i took a cab up to tenement and eventually made it to the school by walking. i followed what seems to be this long line where the voters of that precinct didn't have the proper manner as to properly fall in line. they just cut wherever they want! when this man tried to cut i shoved him around my shoulder and to his shock abandoned his attempt and just cut the person behind me. when i reached the school, which is jam packed with voters, jejemons and jeje caps, i then searched for my cluster. and then in such horror i saw that my cluster wasn't there. i checked my note as to what my precinct is and to my dismay, it says tenement elementary school (annex). that's when i asked around where the annex is and found out it was nearer to my house than i thought.


after realizing my mistake i walked out to the highway and took a jeepney to C5 and then took another one towards my real precinct. when i arrived there, the atmosphere was totally different. yes there are also many voters there but not as many as my previous location, but there is this relative peace and order. people know where to go, the teachers are very accomodating and there are relatively no jejemons there.

once i got to my room i was happily assisted by a teacher to the holding area. there i waited for around 45 minutes to cast my vote. i chatted with a few people and made a few laughs too! i also saw these old men flirt with young girls and i was just like stuck in between the two. my wait was relatively stress free even if it was hot because the people i waited with had a sense of humour and weren't impatient.


when it was my turn to vote, i happily showed my id and took my ballot together with a folder and a smartmatic marker. i tooked a photo of my ballot and took out my list of politicians to vote. me forgetting to eat breakfast proved to be disadvantageous since my hand was shaking as i was shading the oblongs at the ballot. nervous that i shaded partly outside the line i nervously approached the PCOS machine and inserted my ballot. to my relief my vote was registered and i proceeded to have my nails dabbed by indelible ink. i then placed my thumb print to the official list and signed off. my part was finally done. i have cast my vote. i pray that my choices are God blessed for the sake of our country's future.




and as i was leaving my precinct i took a final photo of my first election day. i'm the one on the left with the black and gray cap and olive green shirt.

gotcha

*DISCLAIMER* NONE OF THESE PICTURES ARE OFFICIAL YET

as we move forward with our thesis, the results of our pilot tests are as follows:

and...


looks like we discovered something significant this time. as for what these pictures are and what they mean, my mouth is all hush hush.. :P

heat

today was the very first day we get to move forward with our thesis. and most of it really was just plain old spontaneous. i mean from the very ether that we once thought was part of the physical world came the idea that we should take that one giant leap for our goal, to be part of the nominees for best thesis.

well then again we're not really satisfied with a nomination now, aren't we? so we're gonna step up and level up tomorrow when we real challenges begin. so far the only thing that was out of place was the 2 petri dishes that sucked balls and the concentration of bleach with water. aside from that it was a big success.

so here is a video about what we did, the process of mixing agar and the use of the autoclave. enjoy watching our being spontaneous.
