PA - E01: A Pair of Pear
Oh! Look! This is the first episode of Podcasteeg. Well, I still haven’t achieved my preferred accent and my voice really sucks, but I have decided to do this because I want to try it. I had fun doing it.
I used Audacity to and my built-in microphones on my notebook to record this episode. I haven’t used any music because I don’t want to breach any copyright law. Anybody knows where I can download GPL music? And if you have a suggestion on mind, please tell me about it.
Forgive me for the wrong grammars that I have commited, and my awful and horrible voice.
Transcript
Hello and welcome to the first ever episode of Podcasteeg. This is Christian Evangelista of Asteeg.Net, that’s A-S-T-E-E-G-dot-N-E-T. So, uh, today’s 07.07.07 or July 07, 2007. Lucky day? Uh… no, I don’t think so. Uh, though seven is favorite number, I still don’t think that this is a lucky day. Neither numbers nor dates dictate our luckiness. I still think that it’s still up to you if you would want this day to be lucky or not.
Okay, moving on, uh, well, school is crazier nowadays. Everything is different. As what one of my ex-blockmate had said, if in our first year, it is us who make our selves stressed, now, the sight of our school is enough to make you feel stressed. What’s more is that in two weeks time, ya, two weeks time or 14 days, we will already have our prelims. and that spells B-U-S-Y, and that’s busy! Well, at least, I’m enjoying my English class right now. Uh, currently, we’re on phonetic transcription or whatever you call it. Our professor told us that it is easy, ya, I think it is. But sometimes, it can be a bit confusing, especially if you don’t know how to pronounce words correctly. For example, the words S-T-A-I-R and S-T-A-R-E are supposed to be pronounced the same. That’s stair and stare. Why are you staring at the stair? Likewise, with the words P-E-A-R and P-A-I-R. So that’s pair and pear. She ate a pair of pear. Yes, I know it’s crazy. Our instructor also told us that the word C-O-M-P-I-L-A-T-I-O-N is supposed to be pronounced as compilation and not compilation, again, that’s compilation. Uh, the word T-U-I-T-I-O-N on the other hand, is supposed to be pronounced as tuition.
And now, let’s talk about the Harry Potter fever. On July the 11th, that’s a Wednesday, yes, a Wednesday, the fifth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released in the country. I don’t know if I would be able to watch the movie on the 11th because I’m supposed to be in school until 5pm on that day and my class on the following day will start at 7am. So, there’s only a little possibility that I’ll be able to watch it on that day. Nevertheless, I’m planning to watch it two times on the big screen. Uh, the first time I’ll watch it, I suppose, I’ll be alone, yes, alone because I don’t want to be interrupted with tremendous amount of questions while watching it. And on the last time, I’ll be watching it with my friends or with my family. And on the 21st, the last Harry Potter book entitled harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released. I can’t wait to have it on my hands. I’m getting excited! The problem is that I still haven’t reserved a copy and the book costs around PHP 1500. I guess, I’ll pay for it in cash on the release date. Well, seriously, I don’t have any theory on who will die and who will survive, but I hope Harry would still be alive at the end of the book. This is going to be good July to remember!
Well, I suppose, that’s all for the first episode of Podcasteeg. See you next time if there is a next time. Again, this is Christian Evangelista and don’t forget to leave your comments.
“Welcome Back to Hell,” Said Satan
I’m officially back to grogginess mode.
As I have expected, I don’t have enough time to post here or even just visit your blogs and leave a comment. I’ve got 200 plus of unread blog entries in Google Reader.
So how’s my school life? Ah, very tiring. Out of the eight subjects that I’m taking up this semester, only one is my favorite. And that’s English. I’m enjoying it because we’re tackling about oral communication. So, after the term, if I would be able to be good in nasality (I want a British accent, haha) and improve my voice, I might release the first episode of Podcasteeg. More over, we also have a laboratory period for our English subject. The laboratory is so cool. It’s called Digital Language Laboratory. We look like call center agents when we are there.
PE is tiring. Who would not get tired, especially in our case that we have swimming and bowling for this semester? I don’t like the swimming part but I hope that I would like the latter.
I don’t like CF (Theology), not because I hate the subject itself but my instructor. The instructor that I had last semester is also the same professor who is handling us. Kapag sinuswerte ka nga naman.
PolSci does not look interesting, but according to my classmates, our professor is good. She said during our first meeting that she don’t give a failing mark to those students who has a perfect attendance. I got to like this one! Haha.
As for my remaining subjects, nine word: they are the ingredients to make me feel haggard.
Hmm… my new classmates? They’re not that bad but how I wish we were not reshuffled.
[EDIT] I want to share to you this conversation I had with a friend last week:
Christian: School is very bad to our health.
Michael: True.
Christian: It should be banned.
Michael: Better if annihilated.
Christian: Yeah, that would be better.
[/EDIT]
Bye for now, I got to review. See you next time if there is a next time!
The Divine Subjects
Last semester, I compared and contrasted my subjects to foods, this time, I’ll verdict them where they should go. And of course, my subjects are not divine, it was just the title. Lol.
CFE2 - Inferno
Yeah, inferno. I thought I’ll enjoy this subject because learning Theology has a new level in college. Thanks to my boring professor who always forgot to bring something very important in class and basically, she ruined everything! Muchas Gracias!
CHM03a - Paradiso
Memorizing the jargons in this subject was very easy. I thought I’ll have a hard time on memorizing them, but I was wrong. My professor in this subject was very impressive. What she brings when she enters the room were only writing materials. All of the things that she had to teach us were stored in her brain. No wonder why she is a board topnotcher.
And here are some of the comments of my blockmates regarding our professor:
Parang computer si ma’am! Ilang GB kaya ang meron siya sa utak niya? Pa-USB naman ma’am!
And when my professor forgot something…
Ay, navayrus si ma’am!
Lol.
ENG02a - Inferno
I don’t like the subject very much. Yeah, it’s very ironic. My professor does not know how to make the class alive, yeah, it was very boring.
FIL02a - Purgatorio
The subject was very demanding, especially in the last part of the semester when we were required to create a baby thesis. I’m happy though that we did not need to defend it because there was no time to do so.
ICT110 - Purgatorio
I don’t want to comment about this subject. All I can say is that this will be stuck in the purgatory!
NSTP2 - Paradiso
Why paradiso? It’s because of our professor who’s very lazy. The last time we had a meeting was last January. Ang saya!
PE02 - Inferno
I danced in this subject! Heck, I really hate it. Jive was very hard! The good part? Well, our instructor said that for our finals, all we have to do is to attend the PE Day tomorrow.
PHL03 - Inferno
Do I have to tell the reason why I put this subject in hell? Hey, Sophie, have a great time with Satan, hu? And don’t forget to ask him for a date in the most hottest fiery pit of hell with the Mountain of Purgatory in the background… what a nice place to answer Satan with your sweet “yes.” Goodluck, Sophie!
ZOO01 - Purgatorio
This one is supposed to be in hell because of the hellish names, technical terms, and jargons that I had to memorize. But because of our professor in the laboratory, memorizing all of these was easier. As for the lecture part, during the latter part of the semester, I decided to copy what my blockmates were doing. I decided to stop listening from our instructor (we have a different professor in our lecture) and do other important things. Like my blockmates, I depended on the handouts that were given to us.
While I was reviewing just this week in this subject for our finals, I saw a note that I scribbled in the margins of my handouts:
Zoology is poison to my brain that slowly degenerates it.
