Level Up!

Two years have passed since I entered college and until now, I still hate the course my dad forced me to take. But that’s not what I want to talk about. In that span of two years,I’ve already mastered the right time and which jeepney to take to get to school at the right time. As an evidence, I’m pleased to tell everyone that I have a clean attendance record. No tardiness, no absences. Unless you would count that instance (I think I’ve mentioned it before) when I was marked absent during my Philosophy class because our instructor only entered our room with only a few minutes to go before dismissal with no notice that he would still meet us.

Back in my first year, I used to take a jeepney-jeepney-jeepney-jeepney ride. That nearly drove me insane, transferring from one jeepney to another was really a hassle. That was when I still gave more importance to money than time (less expensive but time consuming). The previous school year, it became jeepney-jeepney-tricylcle ride which was more expensive but faster. In just a few weeks days, I will be a junior student and that means I’ll be spending more time in school which could also be equated to less time for blogging and surfing the Internet, and not to mention less time for sleeping. I’m not sure if the usual ride that I take would be enough to bring me to school at the right time. I can’t really afford to be late for my classes. Besides, getting late is not in my vocabulary.

That’s why I’m thinking that I should get an apartment somewhere near the university. With that, I do not have to wake very early (I do not need the early worms anyway). I could also dedicate more time for resting since that would mean that I don’t have to spend 1.5 agonizing hours on the road.

But then again, there are a lot of complications. Actually, I could think of more disadvantages than advantages. Like, how will I survive? Where would I get my food? Fast food chains? Well, I’m old enough to stand on my own, but I really prefer going home everyday. Do I have to share the room with someone else? I prefer to be on my own, though. Where would we get the payment for the apartment? Electricity? Water? My parents have enough on their plates and I don’t want to give them another helpings of not-so-appetizing bills. And then, I have my biggest problem… Internet. You know that I love surfing the Internet and as a student, I will surely need it. Where I would get an Internet connection? SmartBRO? Thanks. I’ve read a number of bad reviews about their services, and I don’t want to be included in their fast growing number of disappointed customers.

See? There are so many disadvantages that I could think of. Haha. Call me pessimistic, but renting an apartment doesn’t sound good to me. Besides, if I were to get myself one, I would surely miss the stretch of road that I take, the numerous banks (especially the branches of Banco de Oro), gas stations, churches, branches of Jollibee and McDonald’s, the single flyover that I know of here in Pampanga, the irritating passengers in the jeepney, the passenger versus driver matches, the crazy tricycle rides, and everything else that I see every time I go to school and back home. What’s more, that means that I would have no time to review. Lol. You see, the only time I review (most of the times) is during when I’m in the jeepney. Hahah.

Of course, I could change my mind. XD

PS: I know, I’ve already blogged about this before, not as specific, though. So yeah, forgive me. There’s really nothing interesting that happened to me lately. I’m just stuck here in our house, but I’m definitely enjoying every bit of it. And I just felt that it’s time that I had to update this blog. Haha.

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.

Shameless plug: I just finished doing the layout for my review site which I was supposed to open last December. Please visit IT’s MY CHOICE.

Hate of Wisdom

Let me start this by saying I hate Philosophy. The subject itself… and our instructor (whom I’ll call Mr. Rene in this entry). As what I had put in my mind from the first day that I learned that I am going to take this subject, it will really ruin my career. I am absolutely dreading about this subject. I am frightened that I would get my first line of seven grade after four or five years of having no line of seven mark, worse my very first failed mark. Mr. Rene is very weird; everything about our him is weird. His subject, his face, the way he teaches, the type of question he gives during quizzes, etcetera, etcetera.

Last week, Mr. Rene was already fifteen minutes late. And according to my blockmates, it’s written somewhere that if a professor is already fifteen minutes late that means he or she won’t enter the class. Thinking that he won’t enter our class, as he had already skived our class a few times last year, we decided to go home. But we concluded it wrong, approximately fifteen more minutes later, he texted some of our classmates that he’ll enter our class. Alas, I and my other two classmates were already on a jeepney by that time.

Luckily for some of my blockmates, they were still in school by the time the information was disseminated. Some went back to school from the malls. Another one that already got home and changed her clothes had to wear her uniform again and go back to school.

My classmates reported that after an astounding fifty minutes, he popped from nowhere! The bottom line is that they did nothing! They just chatted! And now, ladies and gentlemen, congratulate me for ditching my class for the very first time!

Well, a philosopher (I forgot the name) said “Change is mere illusion.” And it’s just one of the philosophies of the effing philosophers that I don’t believe. We’re not expected to believe these philosophies, as some1 don’t suit us. What I can say about this is that we have our own philosophies… so why study this boring and hateful subject? Argh!

I don’t really know how that philosopher with a peanut for a brain said that. So he or she thinks that if a thing was moved to another place a change has not occurred? How stupid is that?

From time to time, we — all of us change. Be it physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

On a side note, even actors and actresses change! Daniel Radcliffe, the Harry Potter star has decided to play nude2 as Alan in the play Equus after preserving his wholesomeness in the Harry Potter movies. I still can’t believe that he took the offer knowing for a fact that he has not yet reached the legal age.

And as for a change, I decided to use this layout from N. Design Studio. I decided to use this layout because I barely have time to do a new layout. And expect more of these!

Who does not change? Would you please tell me how change is just mere illusion? Raise your voices and fill the comment form with your thoughts before it’s too late.

PS: I reckon my ISP has solved its problems.

  1. or many in my case []
  2. A photo of him had surfaced the internet where he was half-naked! Just don’t expect me to post it here. Haha. But you’re free to search them. A Potter fan site (or his official fan site) is a good site to start with. []
