attack of impulse

[migrated from livejournal]


when i heard that sir mike abundo, instructor for ece 121, had left some sample problems for the exam tomorrow at the lobby guard, irc and deee 201, i looked for ways in order for me to secure a copy of it.

you see...

today was a very hot day. and for some weird reason...to which i point to the weather, i had spurs of headache...that's why i decided to leave school early. went straight to sm to get some cool as well as to canvass for some very important parts for our ece 121 project. alas. ece 121 project diverted my attention to the matter that needed the most attention. i got distracted further when i had to accompany my mom shopping through last minute stuff for my brother and sister.

and so and so and so. much to my disappointment, pizza hut over at sm north, the one closer to the exit to the block had a very slow service. adding insult to that would be the bolognese that we ordered. it just wasnt as delicious as it should have been. not quite the ones we were able to taste at pizza hut bistro over at gateway...and over there as well. so, the taste for that restaurant was inconsistent. oh well, i liked their combo platter though. the chickens were numnum.

anyway, back to what i was saying...so you see, i asked my irc friend and another irc friend...but they had no resource to send it to me...so....upon that moment, i decided to head straight to EEE to secure myself a copy of that sample problem...haay...and while traveling, i recalled...this sort of happened back when i was taking eee 35. i rushed to eee in order to see whether i was exempted or not. hahaha. that was almost like 10pm...and i was still living at mandaluyong back then.

anyway. as i take this study break in order to bring my laptop downstairs to study, i realize something.

"There are just some assholes in this world that are hard to get rid off."
"Practically, everyone could, has, and may have been an asshole."

haha. joke lang that's not really what i realized. that's like given.

what i realize was this. (well, this will be for the issue i read over at the oblation)

"Sa UP, ang dami daming mga estudyante ang rally ng rally. Nakakainis isipin na karamihan sa kanila, ginagamit yung "common cause" para mapagtanggol ang sarili nilang mga kapakanan. Parang ganito yun, may mga nagrally sasabihin nahihirapan na ang mga estudyante sa pagtaas ng tuition etc etc. pero kung tutuusin, wala naman siyang karapatan magreklamo dahil may pera naman pamilya niya in the first place. naku. nakakainis hahaha. karamihan ata ng mga politiko ngayon at mga nagdaan eh ganito yung estado. name drops: atom, chris lao, etc etc. hahaha. pero siyempre opinyon ko lang to. ewan ko ba. nabasa ko kasi yung issue tungkol dun sa proposed increase in tuition. well, sa akin naman, kulang nga yung mga nag sumite nung papeles para sa pagtaas ng tuition ng batayan kung bakit nga ba kelangan ipataw sa mga estudyante ang gastos...pero naisip ko rin naman, paano na yung mga guro...unti unti ng nadedegrade yung dekalidad ng edukasyon sa UP. At. bakit pa ba tayo dapat manawagan ng manawagan sa gobyerno na taasan yung budget. eh kung ayaw nila bumigay sa gusto natin, eh di gawan natin ng ibang paraan. matatalino naman tayong mga taga UP. eh di gawan ng paraan. ipamukha natin sa gobyerno na kaya natin. eh kasi sa kakarali natin, pinapakita natin sa kanila na dependent tayo sa kanilang pamumuno. eh kung ganun lang, eh di lalo lang silang magmamatigas at papairalin ang sa tingin nilang nararapat."

hahaha. im babbling too much.
"at isa ko pang naisip, karamihan sa mga nagrarally, eh may kanya kanyang selfish intent sa pag sama sa rally. hahaha. for sure. yung iba run ginagamit lang yun para mapakita sa iba na active sila...para sa susunod na eleksyon...alam niyo na...haay...sa mundong to, di na siguro matatapos ang gamitan. kahit kailan! yung iba naman...for sure pang resume lang yung position. basta ewan ko ba. i just dont see any sense in most of the anything that those rallyist do. inisip ko nga, sali kaya ako USC volcorps...then inisip ko, nyek wag nalang. makasama ko pa yung mga rallyista at maimpluwensiya pa akong sumama. siguro may pinagmanahan ako ng ganitong paguugali. pero who cares where i inherited it from. basta ang alam ko, nasa loob parin ako ng isa sa mga pinakamahirap na departamento ng UP...and EEE....so, sa tingin ko naman, tama pa ang buhay ko...hahaha...di ako sumali sa mga rally, so di ako natanggal sa department. well, of course, this is just one of the many perspectives you can look through. im not saying that they are directly related...because, quite frankly, i dont think so myself. hahaha. so ayun....i dont really join rallies as well because most of the rallies held, i dont share the sentiment naman so bakit pa ako sasali. i know which battles to fight. i know which of the important things i have are worth fighting for."

there...rant finish.

ps: i will never resort to using diet pills. iniisip ko kasi ang main reason why...ayaw ko ngang mabobo. siyempre kung gagamit ako ng appetite suppresant, di ako magugutom, so san kukuha ng nutrients ang aking brain diba? hahaha. siguro kaya ka.....ahahhahaha! im just mean.

pps: ang weird talaga how rumors get about. imagine...i never expected to receive information on a certain someone in so much detail. imagine...pati sound effects sa loob ng kwarto nakwento sa akin hahaha. ....uhh...hahahaha.

ppps: onti nalang...
