I’ve told myself just a few days ago that i’m going to blog this day as soon as everything was finished and here I am now. I am so so so happy that I could sit down, relax and get a good night sleep!

Here’s the score:

AUG 16,2008

12midnight - 1230 - studying EEE53 with alvin in the lobby for the exam later

1230 - 230 - Lonely in my room, studying ee280 , Wireless Comms!!!

230-445 - SLEEPING.. dreaming.. paranoid that i’ll be late…

445 - 530 - Preparation for my 6am exam.. no breakfast (wrong move)

530 - 6 - walk with alvin to EEE

6-9 - EEE 53 exam (in between I felt that I was going to collapse, I was trembling, perspiring… good thing i brought water so I was able to hang on to the exam but it was really difficult )

9-930 - eat breakfast with alvin and jonz.. yummy milo.. :))

930 - 1130 - in molave, back to studying for my wireless communications exam!

1130 - 1200 -  walk to EEE alone.. no lunch (wrong move again)

1200 - 200 - EE280 Exam.. Thankfully I predicted the right topics to focus on.. It was great.. although I expected more, i should be really thankful that it wasn’t the grads level of an exam.. yahoo!!!

2-230 - ERG tambayan.. tambay.. got nothing to do.. no money..

230-500 - ECE 141 class..  One last stop for the longest day ever!!! I couldn’t help my groupmates since my head ached again because of hunger but luckily we managed to finish it through

500 - 600 - surfing the net, relaxing, blogging…

It really turned out better than I expected.. Maybe I’ve prepared well even though I thought I didn’t.. eee53 was a hopeless case for me, I think more studying wouldn’t help me with the problems so forget about it.. Overall, i somehow feel emotional to see this day finish whatever the outcome of my exams are…

I’ve texted my mother a few times this day to tell what happened, and her support was a strength for me… that’s it, time to move on… this is only one day.. I’ve prepared for it the whole week and now it’s done like it was just a dream… amazing how life works..  so after a good rest, i’ll be working again here’s the dates to remember

AUG17 - finalized schematic diagram for EEE100 project: AC to DC converter (pls help.. :))

here’s a little glimpse of my eee life..

Now at my 4th year, I’m really enjoying my course, yes it is tough (the math and stuff) but I would never change it for any other course..  Some would view this as very common electronic stuff but for me, it is another big step…

HELL WEEK NEXT WEEK.. Apparently my 2 exams this week was moved next week (yah, i know, crap) so overall I have: 3 exams GE1, EEE53 and EE280. 1 design problem, 1 machine problem and an ACLE to worry about.. oh goody!!! preparation needed..

3 hours to go before alvin’s birthday! i hope i’ll make him happy, wink!

The new season of Gossip Girl is fast approaching! I better start a countdown! Almost less than 1 month for the season premiere to launch. I checked on YouTube and look what I found!!! yahoo! I was waiting for these to fill my curiosity of what there is ahead…

Here are trailers that very much excites me on what there is there is ahead.. ^_^

HEROES SEASON THREE

HARRY POTTER HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

GOSSIP GIRL SEASON 2

darn. nothing..

after knowing that The Dark Knight claimed the number one spot on the imdb charts, the dark knight has become a must watch for me and alvin. Luckily, the professor didn’t attend our morning class. So in a spur of moment we were in trinoma buying tickets!

Comments on the 2 and a half long movie?
1. It’s not worth the number 1 spot on the imdb charts, personally the dark knight and spiderman seems in the same level.. Of course both movies have their own drawbacks, but they’re somehow just equal in my likeness.
2. The moment I knew Heath Ledger will play the role of Joker, I was set back since I still imagine him as an appropriate leading man for a drama movie and not a villain of a comic hero. Nevertheless, he was waaay better than expected. He was scary and so different from how he acts on brokeback (that’s a great actor! :))
3. Ok the scenes were fast and some were confusing. I can’t help to think “How did they get there?!” or “When did they do that?!”. The transitions were not good, no wonder everybody wants to watch it again..

4. Batman’s voice is veerryyy rough.. I can’t understand anything that he was saying! Plus, his appearance were so.. dark.. He’s not a likeable kind of hero..
5. The leading lady was.. uhm.. ugly.. good thing she d***.
6. If the movie’s objective was to make a different aura when it comes to revived comic heroes then it was very effective! It had lots of explosions and thrills. It doesn’t get your eyes off the screen in a different feeling.. great suspense movie..I hardly laughed in the scenes plus it was so excitingly scary… definitely not for children to watch!!!
7. Although I’m not into action type of movies (Take note, I haven’t even seen Batman Begins) I enjoyed The Dark Knight. I somehow see it very Cool and Tricky.. Joker was smart for a villain.. he was very playful, very unexpected… and in how I see it, he actually won in this movie
8. Half face for me was annoying,.. very exaggerated.. even without him The Dark Knight would still be a hit as long as Joker is around..

Finally I have finished watching the sweet, heart warming, slice of life anime that got a great score on every anime review… Before I watched this, I noticed a lot of good comments from different blogs about this romantic series and I have to give them credit, they were right in recommending this anime. The characters were generic but the art was cute and is just fit for the series.. As usual, the leading man in the name of Tomoyo is a delinquent high school student that actually had a soft heart as the series progresses. While the leading lady would be the childish and weak Nagisaki which will garner confidence and strength because of her friends as she follow her dreams. Both of them will meet other heroines which have conflict of their own. It does sound common but the stories of the different female characters were very emotional making you want to hug your pillow and shed a tear. One big feature of this series would be it’s great blend of comedy and drama.. the comedy part was very hilarious especially the pranks Tomoyo deliver.  The storyline of the series mainly pointed out the importance of family and friends and how we get strength from them. The point was cliche but the series still delivered well.

Although there was moments when I misconceptualized the scenes of the junk robot and the girl in the deserted world, I thought there were more supernatural events soon to unfold which involves Nagasaki and Tomoyo but in the end really never happened… I may have thought too deeply with my imagination..

Well, I’m looking forward with the next season: Clannad, the after story… I’m excited to see what’s in store for the characters. Clannad is a great relaxing series everybody should watch..Compared to Air (same producers of Clannad), Clannad was better in terms of the plot and comedy.. AIR was somewhat difficult to understand but was a hell of a tearjerker on the last part….  I’m attempting to watch Kanon due to its similarity with Clannad, I wonder which would be better?

sooo cute! ^_^v Puhi Puhi!

Among all possible surveys created, I must say, I favor answering those that describe my thinking. I do have a clue on how I think but taking surveys satisfy that I am indeed right of how I look at myself. Anyway I took a test sourced from thinking blog about which brain hemisphere is dominant compared to the other. Here’s the link if you want to try it to: And here are my results:

You responded as a right brained person to 11 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 8 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most. The summary briefly describes your dominance type. Remember, this only represents half of the picture. After you read the description, click on the link at the bottom of the page to find out how to use this information to improve your study strategies. Do not forget to print your results, if your instructor has requested you to do so. Some of the traits associated with the right side of the brain are listed in the table. Not all of the traits will apply to you. Remember, we use both side of our brain, but your right sides gets the most exercise.

Type of Cognitive Processing		Brief Description
Holistic		Processing information from whole to part; sees the big picture first, not the details.
Random		Processing information with out priority, jumps form one task to another.
Concrete		Processes things that can be seen , or touched - real objects.
Intuitive		Processes information based on whether or not it feels right know answer but not sure how it was derived.
Nonverbal		Processes thought as illustrations.
Fantasy-Oriented		Processes information with creativity; less focuses on rules and regulations

I am very curious why Ouran High School Host Club is so popular. I’ve seen a couple of episodes but didn’t think of continuing it further.  Yes, so it does have a unique theme with the concept of “girl thought to be as boy” plot but elsewhere its some sort of wacko series that keeps repeating scenes but just in a different background (example: the neverending sweetness of the twins). As far as I remember, I endured 13 episodes before giving up for searching the secret ingredient why it is so popular. Don’t think of me of someone very stone-hearted, in fact, I very much enjoy light animes like Love Hina, Fruit Basket, etc. I kind of figured the Taiwanese(? not sure) tv series, Hana Kimi, influenced the likeness of the anime but for me it was so irritating. I can approximate that almost 1/3 of the an episode is the character’s admiration of themselves, 1/3 girls screaming adoring the hosts and 1/3 story.. speaking of story, there is no sense in the story. I can’t get anything from it, there is no continuation whatsoever making me least intrigued for the next episode. I’m sorry for constantly dishing the series but is there any unfolding secret that will excite me to watch the next episodes? Or is it really that kind of “sailor moon type” of anime that wastes golden time for redundant lines and scenes? Maybe I’m just not a fan of men adoring themselves too much or men that are so gay and vain… It was even unusual that I didn’t favor any men character because they are all completely gay!!! As for the female characters, oh wait, theres only one.. geez.. and he has short hair too.. >_< The drawing is not even great! They don’t have noses and have emotionless eyes!!!

Bottom line, I am dissapointed.. Yeah it did made me laugh at first, but in the long run I just couldn’t stand it.

>_<
