Engineers' Brethren

An engineer, or likewise an engineering student, will not survive his craft if he has no calculator in hand. He or she is not capable of solving problems on mathematical applications without ever having computing it in a calculator unless solved by arithmetic sense.

Sunday Mass

   Many weeks had passed and I wasn't able to hear the mass in churches on Sundays. I would be lucky if I could catch one while scanning channels on television, then one of my obligations as a Christian will be achieved.

   But not today. Even last week I fell short of it. And the week before last week. And the week before that. Not even a Sunday from last month.

   I admit it has been a lapse in my life - not going to church and attend the mass. I wasn't nurtured by my family to be that dedicated to my religion and commit to all the responsibilities of a Roman Catholic Christian, but as long as I pray and trust God in all my ways, my parents would be more than happy that they have a son who recognizes and accepts Christ in his life.

   This has been an issue lately about my life. But since no one motivates me to change the way I do about my responsibilities for my religion, not even my parents, I remain doing this fall back.

Toy Robot

   When I'm bored, I usually explore things at my disorganized, messy room. Today I was, so I creep into things under my bed if ever I could see anything that could make the while worth.

   And I had excavated a robot.

Moron 5

   As planned yesterday, we went to watch the movie Moron 5 and the Crying Lady today. We were actually four at first, but since Rica wasn't able to come I, Mark and Kett watched it in the theater.

   My expectations were met for a Pinoy comedy film. Full of comical actions, script laughable for the mass. But not well thought and written for the bandwagon, like that in Praybeyt Benjamin which became a big hit. 

   The movie was a good laugh, although there are many parts which bore the onlookers. It was a fine view, but it is not the kind that I would watch over and over again. So I'm giving it a 2.5 out of 5.

   At least I went out of the house today since I am all alone at home when I woke up at before noon. Otherwise, I got myself spending on the Internet the whole day again. And that is not an ideal activity for a long weekend.

Joker

Myself in a colorful, fancy wig

   Hello, I'm Dion and I am a clown. I like to make people laugh, especially those that are close to my heart. I would crack jokes based on the situation I am in, and usually seeps in the dead air in a room.

   I'm more than glad to make other people happy. That is one thing I do to keep the social interaction among others.

Summer Classes Pain

   Summer of last year, I wasn't able to enroll myself for the optional taking of the minor subjects which are supposed to be taken in the fifth year. That's why this year, as a first-timer in attending the fast-paced summer classes, I completely lost my normal system in the process of acquiring subjects which are supposed to be given in five months and yet compressed in just a month.

   Two straight hours of lessons, and to take note that they are held five days a week, appeared okay for me at first. Until I could actually attend the everyday classes, and I already had experienced the whole thing, I felt really exhausted and drained.

   Everyday I have to deal with the same subjects, just like we did in Elementary. But this time, since I am already in college, topics are harder and a lot specific to my course. I had to study every night since the teacher may give a surprise quiz the next day, due to time constraints compared to that of the normal semester where the load of the subjects are not heavily given each day.

   I'm not really complaining here, okay maybe I am, but I just am not used to this kind of system. My whole state of mind and of body is not ready to be used and consumed as such each and every day this summer semester. I'd be really happy if I don't have any facial marks that would root from the stresses I had in these summer classes.

Inactive blogging

   Since the inability to find time to go to the Internet shop to tell how my day had been, I was not able to post anything for two weeks now. I'm quite occupied with my subjects this summer semester, and I am compelled to choose academics over blogging. I missed using this as my journal, and I forgot the feeling of writing on a blog.

   So here it is. Anyway this will just be temporary, because the laptop will be at the boarding house pretty much soon with me. That means I could say whatever I want to say given the resource.

   Now I have a lot of catching up to do.

2nd Year - 2nd Term Grades

I finally knew my final grades from my second year - second semester after the long agony of probably having a lower grade than what is hoped, and might eventually lose my scholarship. But all is well; I got two 1.75s from the not yet encoded two in my previous post! Which means I can still enjoy the free tuition privilege given to Valedictorians by the University!

End of Summer Vacation

Summer classes will start next week which means that my vacation is already over until today. So.. what have I done in this year's after-semester vacation?

Capiztahan 2012

It's Friday the 13th.. but that's not actually an important thing to say.

This day marks the start of the three-day celebration of Capiztahan 2012. There were a lot of activities involved, yet we were not really obliged to join each of them so my High School pals thought it would be nice to celebrate it on our own way.

Summer Enrolment

I took the bus early today for Iloilo to enroll myself in the required summer classes. I haven't got any sleep for the trip since my sleeping pattern has changed in a while.

My goal was to get my grades and to enroll, and go home if both are already accomplished. With that mission in mind, I instantly headed to the school and to the Civil Engineering Department to start the whole process of the enrolment. I was in the office for an hour making myself busy for the encoding of the subjects.

Books to Read

I have a hundred books in my hard disk right now and I reckon I cannot contain all of them in my mind in just a snap of the fingers.

Photoshop and Lightroom

I just got my software for Adobe Photoshop 5 and for Adobe Lightroom 3 from the Internet yesterday. I've long been looking for a legitimate link since I already wanted to learn how they work, and finally saw one (which at first I thought was fake, but gave it a try) from Tumblr. But now that I have it in my laptop, I'm just clueless about how everything in there functions.

Coming back

This will officially be my blogspot blog. I know I had trash blogs before (there were quite a lot) but this time I'll be serious. Creating entries will not be regular, but if there will be things worth blogging about, I'll put it here. Or I could use this blog as a diary, journal, notebook, or whatever purpose I desire.

Oh hello, Blogspot. We meet again!
