Worries and weird thoughts

Okay, may sched na kami. Hindi ako excited or what. Nasa stage ako na may doubts at fears. Napakabilis ng panahon. Parang kailan lang kami yung freshies na kinakabahan dahil baka maging friendless loser sa college, kainin ng prof, bumagsak sa subjects, maligaw, maholdap, manakawan, lumusong sa baha at kung anu-ano pa. 

Tapos ayan nasa ikatlong taon na ako sa UST. Magkikita na naman kami ng blockmates ko at professors. Yung nakaraang dalawang taon ko sa UST ay masaya naman. Pero ang nasa isip ko talaga hindi pa dumadating yung best year ko. Yung feeling na confident na ako sa ginagawa ko. I don’t want to graduate na hindi naman ako sigurado sa pinaggagawa ko. Gusto ko this time perfect ang lahat. Yung maibigay ko yung best ko. Yung 2 taon an lumipas, p-chill-chill lang ako. Tapos laging nagsisisi ako pag tapos na ang lahat. Nakakainis di ba?

Kamusta naman yung 3 major subjects sa isang araw? 6-7 subjects every MWF pero pag TTH 3 lang. Hindi daw balanced pero baka balanse rin pag nakita namin na yung 3 ay kasing bigat rin nung subjects namin sa MWF.

Mahirap yata yung EDUC214, Assessment of Student Learning. Kasi dati hinihintay namin yung mga ate (old students hahaha) naming matapos sa exam nila diyan. Napakatagal nila. As in. Sulit na sulit, sagad na sagad yung given time. Tapos yung mga mukha nila pag labas ng room parang mga binangungot. Good luck, Juniors!!! Kaya natin ‘to! ;-)

Risky Business is the thirteenth episode of Criminal Minds season 5. The team was called to investigate the suicide of two teens. It was revealed that the apparent suicides are actually the result of their participation on the choking game in the internet. And they’re not the only participants but their schoolmates as well. 

Anonymous: Hi! So I read about your post regarding the creepy episodes of CSI: NY and I can't help but stream them :)) It was very fascinating both Sanguine Love and Death House. Thanks!

Hi! Oh I love watching shows like CSI, Criminals Minds, NCIS, etc. They’re very interesting.

Now, I’m watching Criminal Minds Season 2 Ep 3 : The Perfect Storm. The killers, after videotaping how they raped and tortured their victims, sent copies to the families of the innocent victims. I like Criminal Minds because their stories are based on real criminals.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Read: May 18, 2013

I want to read the next book now! Curious about what’s gonna happen next.

I think the concept’s interesting. It reminds me of Delirium and the amor deliria nervosa. At a certain age, you’ll have to undergo an operation. After your operation, things will change - the way you think and your behavior. And the protagonist got this bff who’s really wild and crazy but, after all, will decide to do the right thing instead - leaving the protagonist behind (talking about Hana from Delirium and Shay from Uglies).

I think David and Tally’s relationship is premature. Too fast. 

The writing style’s good but the flow and pacing is my problem. First few chapters are boring, then goes the very exciting part, then dull, then cool, then dull again, then surprising. You know, like it’s inconsistent. I liked the story though.

Watched two episodes of CSI: NY today. This photo is from the episode 14 of season 6 entitled Sanguine Love. It’s about the murder of a girl that led the CSI to the subculture of vampirism. This episode is very interesting. Go, google about Sanguine Vampires.

The other is episode 10 of the same season entitled Death House. After receiving a 911 call, the team went to a Manhattan penthouse and found a mummy. The house was created like the setups of Saw films. Many traps and clues are waiting for the owner’s visitors. Who made the 911 call? The soul of the mummy?

Kalma lang. Hinga. 

About finding your new friends/buddies/barkada/tropa: Huwag kang masyadong mahiyain at wag rin yung opposite. Hahaha. Smile smile lang. Sa first day, agahan mo ang pasok. Huwag magpapa-late. (Awkward ma-late. Nakatingin sayo lahat ng blockmates mo and prof mo. Tapos occupied na yung ibang upuan and you’ll have to excuse yourself for 20 times until ma-reach mo yung upuang unoccupied. Awkward di ba? Pero peymus ka after hahaha)  Upo ka muna do’n sa lobby or kahit saang waiting area. Ako, noong first day ko, tumayo ako malapit/tapat ng room namin. Blockbuster kasi sa lobby eh. Do’n na ako naka-meet ng taga-ibang program at, after some time, yung blockmates ko dumating na rin. Syempre wala pang arrangement sa upuan so seat kung saan ka comfortable. Mag-hello ka sa mga katabi mo at introduce yourself. Magkakaiba naman ng interests ang blockmates mo so for sure makakahanap ka ng makaka-jive mo. You don’t have to find your ultimate college buds agad-agad. Meet and greet muna tayo then saka pa yun. 

About scary profs: Magkakaiba rin ang ugali ng profs. May profs na mabait as in anghel. May prof na konti na lang kukurutin ka na sa singit. Basta just do your job, mag-aral, magsipag, and gawin mo lahat ng requirements. Magkakaiba rin sila ng requirements. (At gustong seating arrangement. May alphabetical na horizontal, vertical, flipped versions ng dalawa, may by height at syempre may by friends.) May prof ako ng nagbibigay ng incentive pag complete attendance and punctual ka. From 1.25 gagawin niyang 1.00 agad-agad. May prof naman akong hindi pwedeng umubo o humikab sa klase niya. May prof akong nagpapalock ng doors pag nakapasok na siya so if you’re late hindi ka na makakapasok. May ibang dina-drop yung subject pag di nila gusto yung prof - yung tipong ramdam mo agad na ibabagsak ka. Wag ka mag-worry. Minsan wala ka na talagang choice but to DEAL WITH IT. Tapos magiging magandang experience rin in the end. 

About subjects: Magtanong-tanong sa mga ates and kuyas. Mababait kami. Minsan nangangain kami pero may taste kami ah hahahaha. Pero totoo, helpful naman kami. Just don’t be shy to approach us. May gen ed courses/subjects na tinatawag. Yun yung lahat ng college students kailangan pag-aralan like math, english, filipino. May prof ed courses rin. Ito naman ay related sa profession mo. Example: Future teacher ka. Magkakaroon ka ng classes like Educational Technology, Principles of Teaching and Facilitating Learning. Ang pinakamahalaga ay ang major subjects. Ito yung related sa program na pinasok mo. Example: I’m taking up PSED. Kailangan kong magtake ng PSED1 hanggang PSED18. Mas marami yung major subjects ninyo (SPED). Huwag na huwag kang magloloko sa major subjects. Mahirap kasi bumagsak dito. Hindi kasi ito inooffer pag summer. So made-delay ka and irreg ka. Mahirap maging irreg kaya huwag na i-try. Isa pa, pag nag-apply ka, makikita na bumagsak ka dun pa sa major subject mo. 

About books: May mga profs na nagrerequire ng libro at yung ibang profs naman hindi na. Huwag mag-alala dahil pwede namang hindi brand new ang bilhin. Sa Recto ang takbo! (Minsan required ang brand new if workbook yung kailangan.) May mga ates ang kuyas rin na nagbebenta ng old books nila. Muna na, hindi ka pa pagpapawisan sa paglibot. May books na sa UST publishing house mabibili. May books na sa Rex, Merriam, Nat’l mabibili. Basta makinig lagi sa prof at ilista agad ang title ng book, author ng book, year , edition and publishing house (pati price if babanggitin).

Commute: Medyo nakakatense talagang magcommute. Lalo na kung malayo talaga yung bahay. May blockmates ako from Rizal area at may isang from Bulacan pa. Basta laging mag-iingat. Huwag magtetext sa daan at sa lugar na delikado. Huwag ka na ring manlaban. Ibigay mo na lang yung phone mo at huwag ang buhay mo. Yung iba may lock yung bags. Kanya-kanyang style yan. Huwag rin kalimutan magbayad. Hahahaha.(Added:) Pag nagsasabi ng lugar kung saan bababa, lakasan ang boses. Gano’n rin pag nagpapara. Huwag mahiyang magtanong sa driver ng lugar. Alerto dapat sa byahe.

Weather: Payong!!! Magdala kayo lagi ng payong. Slippers rin. Ako, lagi akong naglalagay ng plastic sa bag ko para sa mga gamit kong posibleng mabasa. Kung kailangan mong lumusong sa baha, huwag mo na usisain ang tubig. Baka biglang mag-hello sayo yung new friends mong si Ipis at Daga. Hi! Hahaha!

Sa pag-aaral: Pwedeng pumarty. Basta siguraduhin mo lang na yung grades mo natutumbasan lahat ng paghihirap ng magulang mo.  Masaya mag-aral. Stressful nga lang. Hahahaha. Basta pray. Don’t be afraid to ask for some help
