Oblivion
My problem now is catching up with my studies. So far, I still haven't opened and tested any of the GL files I have ALREADY downloaded ages ago. The same thing with the assembly codes for another class. But I'm more interested with the former. Assembly... is... no words can contain my frustration with it. This primitive computer language is so far the hardest to learn. It has the weirdest syntax and function words, like MOV, INT (w/c usually is a data type in other languages), ah, al, ax, bl, dx, LEA (who the hell is she anyway?!), and other blah blah blah.
I have to pause here. Firefox said that it needs to restart the PC for updating, my Dad is asking me to cook breakfast, and I can't wait to savor another cup of coffee. I'll post soon... ^_^

BlueVoice It Is
We can test it, however, with the available cellphones that have a bluetooth range of 10 meters. If, a big IF, it works, it may also work with the 100-meter bluetooth range.
When it was first suggested to me, I was skeptic. But when my co-members assured that it is possible, I conceded. An engineering teacher even suggested some ideas on voice transmission via bluetooth, which convinced me even more that we can do this.
I'm a little nervous about this. But I feel excitement too. I just hope that this excitement wouldn't be squashed when, just in case, we would realize at the worst possible time (like on the next semester) that the project is implausible. We, especially the skeptic I, would just have to stick with optimism and determination to fuel BlueVoice's successful development.
We still haven't written a formal project proposal, which is due soon. So right now I cannot really say that BlueVoice is it. But I do hope that we will be taking this one.

First Day High! Kinda...
No Automated Lumber Species Recognition. Image processing is a field too risky for us to experiement. We feel that a school year is not enough research time for such project. Actually, it would only take less than five months (which comprise the second sem) to program the software; the five months before that, which is this semester, are reserved for proposal and intensive research. Our grades are at stake here!
No Gunbound-like mobile game with networking capabilities. Well, at least for me. I don't want to venture into mobile application development. It's like everyone wants to take a mobile software project because cellphones, especially those MMS-capable, seem to be perpetually the "in-thing." Whatever...
No Sudoku puzzle mobile game version. It might be rejected by the moderator for being simple and not-so-challenging for a group of three. But we may toughen up the rules so that we would be forced to develop another algorithm to solve the puzzle.
But right now, we're poking the Automated Tournament Matching suggested by a Computer Center staff. I still don't know the details so I have to meet and discuss about it with this guy. I heard that the manual tournament matching is tedious, so automating it would be a delight to the slothful modern people. What can we do? The computers are invented to do our bidding and they are here to stay - and keep on upgrading to keep us sedentary.
I can feel school again! And it's not a good feeling. The first two school days has burned a lot of money for photocopying requirements. Ahhhh... the smell of photocopies fresh out of the xerox machine. I miss it. But I loathe it even more.

Blogthings Test
Hey! This site is nice. I discovered this while I was really bored, surfing in Friendster. It's the Fourth Year enrollment day. I have to wait until afternoon for my freakin' scholarship form. Got nothin' else to do but wait. And I'm not patient!
So I tried to entertain myself by taking a few tests in this website. Some results were shocking and exagerrated. But some were kinda true. It's a good thing that the site generates an automatic code of each test result so I can post it here...
............................................
WHAT'S YOUR RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY?
| You are an Atheist |
When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that). You prefer to think about what's known and proven. You don't need religion to solve life's problems. Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. |
The Truth: Wow! That's too much! I'm not an atheist. But I'm not religious nor even spiritual. Somewhere between. But I'm more inclined in believing in God because health studies show that believers, especially devotees, have longer life-span . The reason for this is perhaps not the existence of a higher being that rewards them with such, but more on the optimism that faith brings.
............................................
WHAT'S YOUR MONSTER NAME?
| Your Monster Profile |
Creepy Professor You Feast On: M&Ms You Lurk Around In: Movie Theaters You Especially Like to Torment: Vegans |
The Truth: Creepy Professor? Why? I don't even have plans to be a teacher. I like M&M's. But I rarely go to the movies. We buy/rent pirated DVDs. The hell with anti-piracy morons! And I don't harrass vegetarians! I haven't even met one. I'm even considering to be one. In the far future. Hehe...
............................................
WHAT'S YOUR JAPANESE NAME
| Your Japanese Name Is... |
Reaction: Whatever...
............................................
PENIS NAME GENERATOR
| Your Penis Name Is... |
Reaction: Huh?! Why?..
............................................
HOW SCARY ARE YOU?
| You Are Not Scary |
Everyone loves you. Isn't that sweet? |
The Truth: HAHAHA! Of course I'm not scary. I'm a good boy. When you're nice, I'm nice. When you're a bitch, especially with annoyingly THICK lips, I'm a demon!
............................................
HOW OPEN-MINDED ARE YOU?
| You Are 72% Open Minded |
You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself. |
The Truth: 72% is not bad. I cannot be too liberated with some topics, like drug abuse, abortion and war. But at least I know and am proud for being open-minded, not like others I know. I noticed too that all of the narrow/close-minded people I've met (some of them are actually my "friends(?)") are really stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid! DIE, stupid!
............................................
HOW SINFUL ARE YOU?
| Your Deadly Sins |
| Wrath: 60% |
| Lust: 40% |
| Sloth: 40% |
| Envy: 20% |
| Greed: 20% |
| Gluttony: 0% |
| Pride: 0% |
| Chance You'll Go to Hell: 26% |
| You will die, after conquering the world as an evil dictator. |
The Truth: Wow. The statistics are kinda true. Anger/Hatred is my most intense sin. I throw it at lot of people. But I can easily forgive. But there are those who are unforgivable. And I wish them death...

Chaka Niya
The lyrics are more hilarious than I thought. Before, I only knew the chorus. Now I know the rest, and they're funnier.
Chaka Niya
by Ghurang Guneta
Nagulat ako nung unang makita ka
Kakatakot ka, gurang
At ngayo'y napipilas pa
Ang balat sa pisngi
Na binubuni, o ako'y nangati
Kailangan bang sabihin
Lumayo ka na sa akin
Dahil pag sinaksak kita
Magdurugo ka rin
Chaka niyang bading, kakainis
Mukha'y nanggagalit
Chaka niyang bading, kakahiya
Ulong naging nguso
Kung buhay man ang mga papa
Wala ring magtatagal
Ang nagmamahal tumatalon sa tulay dahil
Chaka niya
At sa hatinggabi ay nangingisay na lang
Pag minamasdan ang larawan mo
Pag siya'y humalik sa laki ng nguso niya
Hihikain ka sa buong magdamag
At ang laging sasabihin
Lumayo ka nga sa akin
Pag hataw ko ng tubong ito
Mangingisay ka rin
Chaka niyang bading, kakainis
Mukha'y nanggagalit
Chaka niyang bading, kakahiya
Ulong naging nguso
Kung buhay man ang mga papa
Wala ring magtatagal
Ang nagmamahal tumatalon sa tulay dahil
Chaka niya
(Ha ha ha ha a a...)
Chaka niyang bading, kakainis
Mukha'y nanggagalit
Chaka niyang bading, kakahiya
Ulong naging nguso
Kung buhay man ang mga papa
Wala ring magtatagal
Ang nagmamahal tumatalon sa tulay dahil
Ang nagmamahal tumatalon sa tulay dahil

Sa Likod ng mga Tala ni Darna
At last, after being stagnant from practical programming for three years, my mind was enriched with MySQL integrated in PHP. Finally! Something worth including in the resume. I now know how forums work. We were actually tasked to make our own forums as exercises. It was daunting, but satisfying at the end. There are a few bugs and other imperfections, but we'll learn.
Next week, it's going to be Java. And I really think we shouldn't miss it. However, just a while ago, five of us discovered that we might miss it. We, the five, were chosen to be exposed to the local but real IT industry - the only IT industry in ZC, which is OMED. Our "training" was scheduled up to the two weeks when Jave training will also take place. Are they kidding us?! We can't sacrifice the chance of quenching our thirst for Java for this "training" - a "training" where we will be "trained" to TEST a system that we didn't even create!! What an insult! The school sent the top five CS 312 students to the company just to do the menial job of FUNCTIONAL TESTING?! I... don't want to say anything about this. I confessed this to the moderator just a minute ago and she said it's fine. At least we get the chance to experience the real thing and say, "Ah! Ganito pala ang nangyayari dito..." Maybe I'm prejudging too much. We'll have to see tomorrow.
In the meantime, OMED is trying to fix the schedule so it will not conflict with the Java training. Well they should!
So here is something that is actually related to the post title.
Narda by Kamikazee... When this first came out, I really didn't care about this. But my younger brother always sang it. So I noticed it. It became more interesting when I received this text message joke one night from a friend:Napakahalay naman ng mga awitin sa kasalukuyang panahon.. Tulad ng Narda ng Kamikazee: "s likd ng mga tala kht sulyap lng darna"
e db may star sa bra ni Darna?
I did not realize that until that night. I thought that the "tala" in the song refers to real stars. But it may mean they wanted to see what is, or rather ARE, behind Darna's stars. Napakahalay nga!
Hmmmm... What if may tala rin sa panty niya...

Two Decades of Living and Learning
Twenty. That sounds so OLD.
Twenty... Twenty...
I don't feel twenty at all. I thought twenty is supposed to be mature and stable. But I don't feel quite like that. However, I've met others who are over twenty but feel that they are younger. Perhaps a high level of maturity at twenty is a myth. *taking a deep breath* Relax...
So yesterday, aside from the usual SMS greetings from friends, we finally purchased another printer. The money spent for it came from the P10,000 that is supposed to be for the "strictly optional" IT educational tour. I've decided to opt out of the tour a few days ago because I thought I might feel bitin with only five or six of us roaming around in Cebu.
But, just yesterday too, I've received news that the tour was finally cancelled. Before, there were only around a meagre seven who proposed to join the tour, including myself. Now I and two or three more confirmed that we are not coming. That would leave only around four students joining the tour! So I think the tour moderator, foreseeing that she will not enjoy a small crowd, has decided to cancel the tour altogether.
I feel that the new parent's consent letter has something to do with this. It seemed to be designed to discourage the parents from allowing their kids to join the tour by exposing the tour's insignificance. And guess who revised it? Moi!
It goes:
Dear Parents,
Greetings!
The students of the Ateneo Informatics and Computing Guild, an umbrella organization under the Computer Science Department, will allow a strictly optional educational tour on May 22, 2006. This activity gives the opportunity for students of CS, MIS and IT courses to be exposed in the actual fields of Information Technology. The tour will be conducted in
However, we would like to inform you that this educational tour will not be credited as part of the activity comprising the student’s senior’s project. Hence, it is strictly optional and will not influence the students’ grades. The school, therefore, shall not shoulder the necessary expenses of the students. Solicitation letters will not be provided and will not be recognized by the CS Department. In addition, a moderator from the CS Department will be willing to join the tour given that the students who are confirmed to join the tour will reach a significant number.
The official and, thus, required activity for the senior’s project is a month-long training on currently in-demand programming languages this coming April. Whether the students will prefer or refuse to join the tour, they will still be expected to attend the training. The educational tour serves as an additional benefit where students may be able to grasp the realities happening within a competitive computer company.
Attached herewith is the itinerary and breakdown cost of the tour.
Thank you very much.
I was just telling the truth. The moderator advised that the tour should not seem to be required and graded so that the parents would not feel obliged to dish out P7500 and some more for pocket money just for the "strictly optional" tour. So what I did was to put as many details as possible telling how the educational tour is NOT mandatory.
Now look at it! The tour plan fell apart. And it's sad because some have been really looking forward to it.
But I shouldn't feel guilty about causing this. This is just a speculation. And even if the new parent's consent was majorly responsible, I did not intend the "end" and "consequence" of my "voluntary human act" to be this. Hah! Words from my Philo of Ethics class, which just ended last month.
Speaking of which, several of those who chose to take the Philo final exam on the conflict schedule were not lucky enough to be properly informed that the last exam hour was moved much earlier. They have been contacting the Philo teacher, and an Ethics teacher at that, to spare them with another exam schedule. In class, he taught that forgiveness is a beautiful moral thing and that life is good because we get a second chance. But in this case, he seems to be oblivious of the students' plea.
Who's unethical now?
*sigh* The ironies of life...
