Things…

I’ve been thinking since the very start of college whether I can do more than before as I enter a whole new world. I also asked myself if I can give a try at correcting errors done in the past.

*Sigh*

My, I still look down on myself. I still think I’m a useless person. Things and people really make me feel inferior to them, especially in school. Well, I understand the concept of competition and challenge in universities but I did not expect the impact to be as big as this. Moreover, there are things in the past that comes back everynow and then… maybe to hunt me down. I just think I’m quite lucky to defeat every challenge of the past but still, there will always be instances where they will go back and challenge me again. I know I’ve done a lot of errors in the past, in school, in people, in many things.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just confused with things. Not only things but people make me confused every now and then. I can’t believe I’m strolling along my academic life carrying these problems. Problems, huh…. There are so many problems.

Nissan GT-R Get~!

no, not the real car. Just the Q-steer.

At last, I had my second A-B Band car. I really love this car in real life because it really changed the way we look at automotive speed.

Just a blog post

Hmm..

I was walking to Lauan this afternoon and I stopped at the side of the road to see whether I can cross the pedestrian lane safely. It so happened that one tricycle passed and I saw inside a couple french-kissing. (Nakupo, dugo ilong ni manong~!)

What kind of Ateneans does the university have right now? Or maybe that’s only part of the school’s taboo (am I writing the right things?).

Anyway, this week, I found the music or rather piano piece I’ve been looking for years. It was  composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and the piece’s name is “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”. I first heard this as a lullaby melody in one of my mom’s old clocks inside her office. Now I found it! Heheh, it’s so nice to hear, I consider this to be the simplest, and yet very good-to-hear music related to Jesus.

I also got my hands (finally) on a Q-steer Nissan GT-R! After months of decision making, I finally bought one. However, it was not easy because I checked megamall and shang for the car but they don’t have it anymore. Went to TRU in Galleria and saw one unit but it was opened because some fscking customers tested it. Instead of ignoring it, I just bought it. The only problem would be the batteries but that doesn’t matter much, if you ask me.

Father’s Day

FATHER’S DAY!

So what happened to this day? First I went to mass with my family then ate lunch at Greenhills. Afterwards, my dad and ninong went to Quiapo then Mom and Migs went to search for new shirts. My Older brother went with his girlfriend. I, on the other hand, went around Virra Mall to look for interesting stuff. I did not see any but there was one remarkable event on the window shopping event. I was at Digital Walker on the third floor then looked for bags, laptop bags. Then as I enter, I noticed this girl, chinese I think, who was standing in the middle of the store. She’s cute considering the fact that she’s chinese and I’m as tall as her… I think… I ignored that, of course, and went straight to the bags. While looking for cheaper bag but greater space inside, that particular girl went near me then said “Hi Sir.”…

..

I just smiled because I have earphones as an excuse that I did not hear her but it freaked me out. For a chinese person to be an employee on such store… Maybe she’s the daughter of the owner. She doesn’t look like the other employees in the store with uniform outfits. She just have casual outfit that made me considered her NOT an employee. But maybe she is NOT an employee in the store and maybe she’s the daughter of the owner, something like that. To test that, I went out of the store, went around another round, then went back to the store again. AGAIN she approached me as a customer. FREAAAKKYY WWHYY ARE YOU ASKING ME IS THERE ANYTHING I LIKE OR TO INQUIRE?!! YOU DO NOT FIT AS AN ATTENDANT IN A STORE!!!
So I went out, trying to get out of my mind why the hell is she there doing such things. Then I saw this newly built store of Apple Products. Oh yeah, I remember now that there’s an on-going construction way back when I was canvassing for Dad’s lappy. So I went into that store, with the smell of newly built store with the paint small and all. and guess what, SHE’S THERE!!! yep, that girl in Digital Walker. I’m guessing she really is the daughter of the store owner… and that that’s an extension of the Digital Walker store or rather the owner’s just a big time businessman. The girl though, did not do her part as there are a lot of attendants inside, probably enough to attend to customers inside and not push effort to help them. I saw her going straight to the counter desk just beside the cashier.. and stayed there for while during the span of my stay. Then I went away, really wondering why is she doing stuff like that, doesn’t fit her. Yep, I’m saying this despite having a bit of Marxism inside me.

Then boredom brought me to Unimart which made me so excited to spend money on weird stuff inside.

-Lays

-3 cans Dr. pepper

-1 box Pocky

-2 packs, Jungle nuts, Garlic.

hahah! that’s all….friggin chinese girl… why…. (opens notebook, studies)

Disappointment

Gah, certain things that you will only know in the later time really disappoints you, especially after certain people makes you feel that you belong to such group and then eventually will tell you at the very end that you’re not. What a loser…. Man, I hate such things. I mean, I disappoint people sometimes but not as big as this…

Friday, June 5, 2009

It was a great day. Though I had to wake up early for the training for LSAT, I was able to end the day with my high school barkada and had a meaningful conversation with them. Not to mention, I was the only guy who came. Hahaha! anyway, it was still fun. We watched Night at the Museum 2. I did not like DRAG ME TO HELL because I don’t like horror movies.

The morning was very busy. I was not able to eat breakfast. We trained but the internet speed problem or rather the website of AISIS was slowing things down. Then we had a Grad Training, just a mild run. Then we finished everything by 11:30 am and I went straight to Colayco Pavillion to wait for te enlistment time for my random number. When I finished, I went to PIPAC to ask permission to my mom and eventually I went to see my barkada at SM North.

It’s been a while since I rode alongside the vehicles at north edsa, QC circle and Commonwealth at that time. I usually go home by around 7 and I love commuting in an FX transport, seeing cars around going home. And Oh, the last song played in the movie was the same song I’ve been listening to and it was played by Coldplay, Life in Technicolor II. I played that while going home.

My barkada talked a lot of things, what’s happening to people, batchmates and other concerns in our respective universities. We talked about each other’s lives and laughed at funny ones and became so serious at rather critical ones. It was fun, just like the old days of learning new stuff because of what people around us did in their lives. I also learned new things and updates. Like one of us had her boyfriend sailed to Saudi Arabia this Wednesday. Sad… and one of us was kind of having problems with her relationship. HaHAHAH! I love being single.

anyway, it’s the best summer ender with my barkada and I wish it will repeat for the upcoming semesters.

E3 2009  – Sony has just announced the new PSP Go! Together with the re-unveiling of the long gone game that’s suppose to go along with the release of the first PSP, the Gran Turismo. Now, the PSP Go! boasts new features such as….umm…bluetooth. a rearrangement of analog stick to the middle, 16GB internal flash memory, no UMD, external Micro Memory Stick slot….. and that’s it.

Let me talk about Gran Turismo then! I’ve been a big fan of the Gran Turismo series despite the lack of the Sony game consoles. I do have one console which is the PSP and it’s kind of dying but I don’t think it’ll die. The Gran Turismo for PSP was announced together with the release of the first PSP system back in 2004.  It was then stopped for a time because of Polyphony’s focus on the PS3 system and GT5. Now, with the release of a new PSP system, Polyphony kept their words in the rumors and now they have this beautiful game to be released together with the new PSP Go!.

There will be, according to Polyphony, more than 800 cars in the game, 35 tracks with 60 layout variations…

I do hope they have the Nurburgring here.

this is the view when playing the game. I saw a footage of the gameplay and it was sooo GT4-ish or GT-5-ish in handling physics. So nice. Not bad for a limited characteristic game console, the PSP. They were able to squeeze out proper graphics for this game.

For you fans, it’ll be released on October 1. Together with the new PSP Go! Yep, this year. I can’t wait!!!

Worst Nissan GT-R Crash

I recently heard in the news that Richard Gutierrez, a famous actor here in the Philippines, was involved in a car crash that seemed to be very fatal. Though now, his conditions are already good. I later found out by reading GTRBlog.com as well as watching news stuff at youtube that Richard was driving a Nissan GT-R. The car had hit a post and crashed, hitting several trees on its final destination. Richard’s assistant was not able to survive the crash while the other fellow with him was able to survive with Richard. Man, to think a Nissan GT-R would crash in a country like the Philippines where a Nissan GT-R isn’t produced! Good thing Richard and the other guy is in safe condition.

Teacher Pia’s last lecture

Yup, today’s the day Teacher Pia gave her final lecture and it was quite fast. So I just took down the terms that flashed onto the projector screen. It was fun, I even had the small task of taking pictures. I’m sure teacher Pia and her husband will laugh at the not-so-professionally taken pictures. I’m still having a hard time coping with lenses I haven’t encountered (since I’m getting the best out of myself on a kit lens, that’s 18-55mm) and also in adjusting settings. So I left everything into the hands of Full Auto setting.

I also had the chance to use the rods that Teacher Pia was talking about before. Hahahah~! onto my hidden blog. So nice.

Made my day happy. 

The New Dell Latitude 2100

I stumbled over this new Dell laptop and I cannot believe how good it is(well, for me). It might look big but it is just a 10.1 inch laptop. It sports a lot of features including the Intel Atom Processor 1.66GHz N270 and 512MB ram for $399. For the Philippine Peso, it goes around PhP 18K. For me, that’s not bad for a Dell Laptop. I always consider Dell Laptops very expensive but this is somewhat cheaper than I thought. The PhP18K price is the base model. For that price, you have a Microsoft Windows XP SP3 installed, 16GB SSD, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. Although I’m worried about the hard disk, I forgot that this laptop is designed for school use. It even has indicators for you teacher whether you’re doing something else nasty. You can have the option to upgrade the 16GB SSD all the way up to 250GB and more once the warranty goes off. Of course, additional upgrades may bring up the price but it will go on the same bracket (I hope) as the ones in the market already like Asus EEE Pc and Samsung’s.

For me, it’s a good one, especially it’s configured for school use. If I had the money, I’d buy one so I don’t have to bring this bulky 14 inch laptop of mine everyday at school. Of course, it’s a new laptop and so we shall see if it really plays as a good contender to the lappy’s of today.

and what’s nice? it comes in different colors.
