word of the day: GANBARU
means: Give it all you've got and hang in there.
I think this will be my new motto. :) |

the funnest day in Jap class so far. today learned a very practical lesson: how to ask people out, i.e. girls. lol
i wanted to try it out on some random office people who work too in the building. i hesitated cuz i still dun have a firm and quick grasp of conversing in jap. though my listening and understanding has improved quite a bit. so is my writing. i actually started kanji. goodness, its one hell of a practice. so many strokes. clearly practice and constant flashcard exercise on it is the way to go.
we tried it in class...yeah. it was a good laugh especially if you get shot down. in a very polite way. yes, we learn really polite language. just a step below talking with the emperor. heh, as if i have no way of learning jap insults...in fact, i already got a nice small book on it. heh. so bash me in jap and watch me hurl it back to you. lol
language learning has never been this fun. next time round, i'll get back with mandarin. i know simple phrases and all...thanks to tv dramas.... but mandarin is a whole new world. i think much more harder than jap. oh well...another challenge to face. :)

sin city this week. yes, gonna watch again. it's really worth it. plus can't wait for charlie....and potter.... plus bewitched seems interesting...well dur..with nicole at the helm, why not? |

suprisingly good day in jap class. it was fun and funny. getting to know people better though we have only a couple of weeks left. well, we'll keep in contact. lol
oh ya, my most hated word now: shukudai (homework) arrrgh.
with the advent of univ, this word was basically erased. all i know are projects/long term assignments. not assignments to be passed in a couple of days.
yup, time is just passing quickly. must stay in focus.

arrrr...so irritated. jap all day long. morning, do homework. afternoon-classes. evening- homework again. repeat blardy process. i'm sick of seeing characters. i have so much other things i want to do but it's becoming futile. then it's so hot that it just pisses me off more. frustration is not fun. and other people irritate you as well. its drivin me mad. damn, this is my only outlet. i can't freaking shout out loud. i can't go boxing. heh, maybe i should go play ball tomorrow morning. just to clear my head. but if i'm in a pissed mood, then my shots won't fall. and that just bites. it'll just piss me off more. watch war of the worlds? i herd there's a lot of screaming. bah! i want peace. sometimes i wonder if i can survive in the real world out there. balancing work, life, relationships, etc. i need to learn how to get less frustrated at things. and be a bit more patient and not get irritated quickly.
heh, i was planning to blog some decent stuff. in the end, this once again becomes an frustration outlet. rite, i feel a bit better now. or am i? stupid mind. i want to sleep. ya, maybe sleeping early today would do wonders. oh well. screw homework. |

i survived 2 weeks of jap already....8 more to go....arrr..madness...so much to study and memorize.
the writing bit is tough. i'm rather slow with it and i draw the characters sometimes as if i was tracing out something. so unnatural. lol
-cut my hair today.
-played ball once again. i need to regain my stamina. arrrr.... clearly a fitness plan has to be created. bah! lol
cheez whiz. XD
hmm..time to organize and think of articles as well as blog entries to write.
ja mata. |

wah lau.
one week of jap class has passed. pretty exhausting, but i'm generally motivated to learn it. as such, i have familiarized myself with hiragana already. woot. in just a week. hell, i could do no such thing back in nott. too many distractions and other modules to work on too.
so ya, 2nd week begins today. the goal: learn katakana. once i do that, i can decently read japanese. kanji would be the toughest. i just shake my head when i see it. its related pretty much to tradiitional chinese. i think that's gonna be the hardest bit.
:D |

arr..my head is spinning.
day 4. jap class.
it's taking it's toll. 3 hours a day is excruciating. if i get restless during one hour lectures, how much more in 3hour sessions that requires your participation? >_<
but i guess the good thing is i'm actually learning a lot. repetition does wonders indeed.
gah! still a long way to go. approximately 46 more sessions. each 3 hours. madness. i would think i should be able to speak decently after that. oh well.
so i got my results. screwed up my econometrics as predicted. 2nd failed module. this sucks. i refuse numbers to be my weakness. i shall engage in it along with jap this break. wow. my break is turning into a summer of study. in fact i haven't played ball in a long while. i had better get some exercise this weekend. >_<
the other results were annoying. i tot they marked too hard in modules i tot i studied and prepared decently for. as such i had marks below my expectations. arrrgh... evilness. >_<
final year is gonna be tough. no more games. it's time to get serious.
yes, job hunt begins in the new year. >_< i'm not thrilled. in fact it seems to be a terrifying prospect.
still got headache. so i shall leave.

So.... Japanese classes have began .... blardy intensive...3 f'kin hours a day for 10 weeks... it's gonna take a whole load of discipline and commitment for me to do well. and that's one of my mission this summer break.
this time, i'm more motivated and with ample time to focus a bit more on it.
taking it as an optional module in my 1st semester proved costly but useful?
i had 5 other modules to take care of..and boy they weren't easy...as such i failed to study well for it. and thus struggled..to pass barely...w/c basically screwed up my average...damn! >_<
well i guess the good thing is it was a good intro to the language.... and it would be nice to sorta get a grasp on another language.
anyway...the class is in blardy orchard...freakin packed the whole time.... its insane..the mrts...i'm getting a glimpse on how a typical working day in s'pore is like...would i want to experience such a thing in the future? i dunno...
yes, the only filipino in the small class of 10.
blardy bugger commented on the 1st day....he was not convinced i was a filipino!!!
because I was FAIR!!!! aargh...i get described as FAIR by a guy..... wth... i was stumped and was not sure how to react...i'm not a violent person so i didn't whack him or anything...lol
anyway.. he said that aren't filipinos like brownish/dark??? i was like...well... we generally are...but hey... we've got fair skinned people too....hello???
wow...did my stay in UK made me a bit fair??? i don't use Dove or any whitening shit btw... but ya, i guess this experience tells me i better hit the basketball court more often at broad daylight...:P |

so i went blog surfing....and once again..it's always a delight to find good entertaining reads...
i mostly discovered the more prominent s'porean bloggers and i find they do have a pretty good sense of humour. who say singaporeans have no sense of humor hah? oh ya...that reminds me that i should visit talkingcock site soon lol. i hope to browse through their beginnings and archives more in the coming days.
same goes with sarong girl. pretty exciting life i must say with her sugar daddies, parties, orgies *gasp* and related adventures. but one thing that i admire about her just reading her entries is that she knows what she wants. and she's not hiding her truth.
from what i gather she prefers ang mohs to local guys because she argues that:
- they're loaded both in cash and in bed (size and performance wise...)
pretty strong argument. money (she likes to travel mah...plus luxurious dates) and sex and i dunno more romantic?. what more a girl could want?
she rants about local boys living with their parents....plus being boring? and pathetic in bed. ouch.
anyway...
-game 4 tomorrow. D-E-T-R-O-I-T.
-mr and mrs smith. from what i read...pretty good chemistry...plus who can resist A.J. ? seriously...those lips...
I'd always admire Pitt for his performance in Fight Club.
**
i was just realizing that the real world is soon going to be upon me..... and i was sorta terrified...really... i mean job hunting? interviews??? work where??? responsibilities??? ... living on your own?...paying rent..expenses? .... getting that house? car, etc??? holy shitee...and dun even get me started on relationships...marriage... etc.... it's a freakish world out there...
saying goodbye to the four walls of the classroom in a years time...that's like 365 days.... is just mind blowing. maybe if i went bungee jumping, i can *feel* i can face the real world. riteee...i think i have issues with heights... lol
clearly experience will be my best teacher. you just continue to play the game of life.
woot...hope to get a zen micro in the coming days..
conclusion: zen micro > ipods (actually some reviews rated them equal.... bah! where got such thing...lol)

hehehee...trip to scotland..yay..one week hiatus.
as such i have been mostly blogging a lot on multiply. i think blurty would be reserved for those entries i'm not willing to proclaim to whole world... and yes, mostly stuff that i don't think the common public would like to hear about... cuz it's boring and useless for them. haha
so if u have multiply or would like to create one..do add me....mvprg.multiply.com
anyway, be good little children.... hehe |

woot! woot! die exams. hehe
oh man, summer party is on..it's blardy noisy. i guess its good reason enough to get kicked out of hall.
i would have preferred to stay indoors, sleep, arrange stuff and yes blog endlessly...but nooo...a friend arrives and have to entertain her. i don't get it...not much is fascinating here in nott.
i hope this is not a sign of interest from her. cuz i'm not interested. it's pure friendship. that's all there is.
on the other hand, a lot of my friends are hookin up...or are hooked up..except me....does it sound sad? i dunno...can't help it if it's a just a one way atraction....or if they're already hooked up. yeah, maybe i should go become a priest if i'm still unattached at 25. lol
did i mention i sent home around 35kg of books..wtf...well, that's the wonders of online shopping. it can get out of hand. 0_0
hope there's still space to put books and shit...and hopefully mom doesn't get mad about it....noooo
man, i'm friggin sleepy....2 hours of sleep only... and now i can't sleep in my room cuz of stupid summer party...why can't they have it somewhere else...why here? and its so bloody expensive...20 quid??? no way. |

feel so drained. i seem lifeless these days. 2 more papers...and 2nd year is all over. omfg.
flunked econometrics. wtf. clearly this is not my cup of tea. somehow symbols and numbers is like a totally bizarre language.
amazing how a few pages of questions can drain you of lifeforce.

Internships:
looks like it ain't gonna happen at all...whether it be in Manila, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. nope. zilch.
it's hopeless...
Singapore:
-no word at all from mom's network.
-need work visa. (though it shouldn't take that long if company did it on behalf of you)
Malaysia:
- seems companies not looking for summer interns. they tend to prefer one year industrial placements and cater more for fresh graduates.
-yes, work visa.
Manila
- no word at all from ninong
- rainy season (Mom thinks i can't survive alone in Manila...)
-accomodation. pretty expensive. even if it's just 2 months. i mean u want to live near the working place. i would really hate to commute that far just to get to work.
so ya, that's about it. It seems i'll be having a typical summer....just self-learning, chill, tv....all those recreational bits. last summer i took up speedreading. wonder what i could study this summer. it seems my mom is pushing me to continue japanese. I think i'll do that. my decision to take up japanese screwed my average in first semester. i like the speaking bit, but the writing bit proved costly for me.
ah yes, 3 more papers and i smell freedom.
hello scotland next week. :D
and soon....Home sweet home. alas, i bid thee farewell UK. In the words of recently retired Indiana Pacer's Reggie Miller, 'It was a great ride." Indeed it was.
heh, hope to blog more after exams and into the weekend. i just wanna blog, forums, and blog surf. i missed out quite a bit due to exam month. oh, and start writing articles again for halfway. missed out on writing for June's edition.... hmmm...now what to write about? any ideas?

Argee,
stop being a dick.
it's futile.
this girl is attached and u want to get involved?
yeah, go risk being stupid and losing the friendship.
get busy and get her off ur mind.
i know...its hard but a man's got to do what a man's gotta do.
this force is strong. don't deny ur feelings but don't act on it.
it's suicide.
got it?
good.
next.
