JOURNAL | How to Become Successful in Your Academic Career

How to become successful in your academic career

Simple Steps
(How to become successful in your academic career)


It’s 3 am. My head is getting dizzy. My hand is shaking and I’m getting nervous. The exams are 5 hours away and I know I’m not prepared. Dawn comes, a rooster cocks and the city springs to life. I dash to my classroom to take that dreaded exam. Faced with a blank paper, I keep telling myself, ‘I know the answers… but why can’t I remember them.’ I didn’t sleep the entire night for this and still I can’t recall the right answers. Then someone suddenly stands, confidently hands in his paper and peacefully walks out of the room. That was the smartest in the class. In the middle of my struggle I wondered how he could be that smart.

I don't know what is happening but for the past few days, I've been feeling so distraught and hopeless. Perhaps this is just an effect of my phone's zero balance state, perhaps not. There is really no telling but things have not been according to my plan.

JOURNAL | The Same Old Sunday

Well, what should I expect from this Sunday?

The neighbors as ever are belting it out as they sing from that stupid videoke at the middle of the day like they are the only ones living in the neighborhood. I just hate it. It would have been useful if they have been a liitle more considerate. Oh boy, now I can't study. With all these noise. It makes me so irritated and vexed. I'm so fed with all this crappiness. I hate it. I simply hate neighbors singing. I wish they would shut up the !@#$ up!

Wika Ko sa Pelikulang Koreyano: Isang Pagtalakay sa Kung Paano Nakakaapekto ang Pagsasalin ng Wika sa Pelikulang My Sassy Girl


Hindi maikakailang naging bahagi na ng buhay ng mga Pilipino ang panonood ng pelikula. Ang pelikula ang isa sa mga libangan ng mga Pilipino na hindi pwedeng mawala sa atin. Sa katunayan, malaki ang naging gampanin ng pelikula sa ating kultura. Dito sa mga pelikulang ito naipapakita ang mga nangyayari sa ating lipunan. Hindi ba’t panahon pa lamang ng mga Amerikano ay nagsimula ng tangkilikin ng mga Pinoy ang mga pelikulang noo’y sa sinehan lamang ipinapalabas.

JOURNAL | The Same Old Sunday

Well, what should I expect from this Sunday?

The neighbors as ever are belting it out as they sing from that stupid videoke in the middle of the day like they are the only ones living in the neighborhood. I just hate it. It would have been useful if they have been a little more considerate. Oh boy, now I can't study. With all these noise. It makes me so irritated and vexed. I'm so fed with all this crappiness. I hate it. I simply hate neighbors singing. I wish they would shut up the !@#$ up!

I am not usually like this. Ranting like crazy but I just can't help it. If you were in my position, I bet you would wish you can just burn that videoke machine so you can think clearly. I simply can't focus. This is maddening. Now, I am forced to flee to a more suitable place to study. I am going to Mini Stop just a few blocks away to escape this. Maybe there I'll be able to finish my homework. As I have unsurmountable amount of homework which by the way involve statistics. If I were a genius then I won't have to burn all those neurons just to do this but nature has not been kind to me. I have to put extra effort to get through all these exercises. Yes I am not a number person and the only way to keep up with my major subject's demands is to really focus, focus and may I say focus. This is really killing me. 

I've just consoled myself that only three more semesters and goodbye to all papers and reports. The bigger world is waiting for me. For the meantime, I need to go take a bath, eat a very late lunch and flee from the world of the noise-polluted house.

LIFESTYLE | Science and Technology

Science and technology for nature

This is a rough essay on science and technology so I apologize if this isn’t very substantial.

Close your eyes. Imagine a world where people live in caves, a world where the only means of transportation is through bare feet; the only way of cooking is by roasting meat on fire; the only way of communicating is by yelling; the only design of clothings is sheets of tree barks. How do you reckon would it feel to be in this kind of situation? To be in a situation where science and technology have never evolved into what we are seeing in the present.

Slang 

I wish I could work 24/7 but my bodu just couldn't stand it. Last night I pulled
an all-nighter to finish a paper. Yes I finished one but failed to do the other
one. I know sometimes I'm such an airhead feeling like I can do everything and
ace 'em but sometimes I am all ears to my professors as I wouldn't want to miss
anything from their class.
I bet the driver had ants in his pants when he slammed to that car. Who wouldn't?
At that kind of situation, he might be at the end of his rope. No money to pay the driver of the broken car.
I went to the library, tried to look like an average Joe.
While walking, a classmate told me of a reporting. Wanted to put it on the back burner but it's up this monday.

MOVIE REVIEW | My Sassy Girl (Tagalog Script)

My Sassy Girl (Tagalog Script)


After an arduous task of transcribing the entire movie which took me for about three days, sacrificing too many classes, here it is, the Tagalog script of MY SASSY GIRL. To all you people out there, who would be using this, please never forget to cite my name. A little acknowledgment is all I ask. That's all. No copyright reserved. I don't own the creative idea behind the script.

JOURNAL | Reports

Reports


I just finished two reports today or should I say bombed two reports, skipped an important class too. I don't know what's the matter with me. I didn't sleep the whole night just to finish a stupid report I'm paranoid I might be charged with plagiarism though I never really intended to steal somebody else's work. I just didn't have the luxury of time to see whether I have violated some pedantic rules of using sources. I don't know what to do anymore except sleep . I'm so spent. Today is Thursday and one more day before weekend comes.

I can't sleep again tonight because I need to finish one last major paper for this week. Failure to do so would ruin my entire future so I better start working.
