FRAGMENTS.: Bunsen Flame High

marigenroselle:

There’s something about that day that made me act weird. Maybe it’s the fact that we had a Chem class after a Friday of lazing around the dorm halls. Or maybe it’s because my favorite prof is back. Or maybe it’s the dorm food’s fault.

No. It’s the bunsen burner.

Kung bakit nababaliw ako tuwing Chem lec. :))

Anonymous asked: Yung High School mo, Manresa? Yan ba yung run by the Hijas de Jesus congregation?

Yup. How’d you know? :))

OWeek concert. NEC. June 30, 2011.

Siya: Pupunta ka ba sa party ng Eng’g bukas?
Ako: Hindi e, di ko kabisa yung lugar.
Siya: Sabay ka na lang sa’min! Tapos… teka, uuwi ka ba? Sa Kalay ka na lang matulog.
Ako: Tsaka kasi, may ano… kasi… may audition pa ako.
Siya: Audition? Saan?
Ako: Uhm, erm… UPSingingAmbassadors.
Siya: O? Mag-audition ka na lang. Para kapag pasok ka, may kaibigan na akong sikat! Haha!

Ibang klase rin siya e. Kilig naman ako. Char! :))

Nagkita kami sa NEC. OWeek concert noon. Hindi ko inasahang magkikita kami, pero yun e, kinalabit niya ako. Tuloy-tuloy na yun. Tinatamad na akong ikwento, lumipas na e. Tsaka nawawala yung essence ng kwento kapag ittype ko. Kaya yan na lang. :)

Uno

Me: Dad, nag-DG kami kanina sa Chem 16. Hulaan niyo kung anong nakuha ko.

Dad: Ano?

Me: Uno.

Dad: Wow, galing naman ng anak ko!

Me: Dad, ano… uno. As in one over ten.

There you go, my first uno. :]

Late Night Chemistry

When I was still young, I never thought that I would be an engineer. In fact, if I made a list ranking every job I know, being an engineer would be the second to the last on my list. Also, ever since Third Year HS, I don’t want to be attached to anything related to Chemistry. I even tweeted,

I could take any course that would get me into a high-paying job. Just not Chem-related. NO. (Jan 21, 2010)

Guess my course. (Hint: It starts with chemical and ends in engineering.)

Anyway… Lately, I’ve been sleep-deprived. Every night after eating dinner, I go into forever alone dormer mode and immerse myself in something that I once feared. Chemical equations, cations and anions, half-life… And although I have other subjects, I still put Chem on top of my list not because I like it the most (if that’s my criteria, then I’d study Socsci 1 all night long), but because…

  1. I want to understand it fully,
  2. I can’t catch up with my professor’s rapping, and
  3. I don’t want to repeat the subject after the semester.

I sleep at 12 am. I wake up at 4:30. I make an effort to understand everything, up to the point that I’d give up my other subjects (especially Math 17). I try not to condemn (is it the correct English translation of isumpa?) Sir E for his rapping skills and hard DGs because he’s an awesome prof (as of now), it’s just the start of the semester, and the Third Year karma might happen again.

To make things short, I’d do anything to pass Chem 16, except kwatro o kwarto. I’ll try to love chemistry. I just hope he (the subject, not the teacher) would also try to love me back.

I need that plus five.

Sarado na ang tindahan.

June 24, 2011. 6:24 am.

Walang pasok. Oh yes, I said it. Walang pasok sa UPD dahil sa expexted heavy rain. Great, that’s the last thing I needed. Sana kahapon na lang, kung kailan sobrang lakas ng ulan buong araw. Ang weird, pero gusto kong pumasok ngayon, kahit na may DG (bakit DG, e quiz naman talaga siya? weird.), quiz, at experiment sa Chem. Gusto kong umupo sa second row, second from right at pindutin ang press button to eject prof, wishing na magpapalit ng section sina Sir E at yung hot prof. Wait up, e paano kung iisa lang sila? Ick. Lels. Gusto kong papaltan yung t-shirt ko sa ESC. Sabi kasi ni Kuya Mabait, pwede eeh. Pero sabi nung babae, hindi na. Tss. Gusto kong kumain ng pancit canton at half-long hotdog sa halagang 35 pesos. Gusto kong yayain si Mike na kumain sa Chocolate Kiss ng pancit canton at half-long hotdog sa halagang 35 pesos after class. Ambisyosa kapag ChocoKiss, my dear. Ohwells, at least hindi ako mababasa. Dito lang ako sa Kalay… 

6:55 am.

Nagtext si Joshua. Please tell our blockmates Sir E is here, with a big possibility of a long test. Putek, akala ko ba walang pasok? Takbo na ako sa baba, tapos tumawag ako kay Joshua. Sabi niya, tapos na yung klase, at lahat sila, may plus five. Plus five! *expletive* naman Sir o. :(( Tapos nagpatanong ako kung pwedeng humabol. So, naririnig ko, kasi nasa line pa ako.

Joshua: Sir, pwede pa raw po bang humabol?

Sir: Hindi. *jumbled words*

Five points. SAYANG. Gusto ko ngang mag-Chem. Yun lang naman dahilan kaya gusto kong pumasok e, honestly. Tapos, gagantuhin lang ako ni Sir? Hmp. Nakakabadtrip. :(

Loss of a Loved One (aka Eng 1 Writing Activity)

Ganito kasi yun. Wala nang mas sasakit pa sa habambuhay na pagkawala ng taong minamahal mo. Hindi mo naman pupwedeng pigilan o ipagpaliban dahil hindi mo rin naman masasabi kung kailan darating ang araw na mawawalay siya sa iyo. At hindi maaaring hindi siya aalis, dahil isa iyon sa mga katotohanang kailangan nating tanggapin. Pero minsan, may mga pagkakataong mamamatay siya nang wala sa oras, o sa ibang salita, hindi ka pa ready. Kahapon, nagtatawanan pa kayo habang nakaupo sa sunken garden, tapos tumingala kayo sa langit at sa pagkislap ng mga bituin ay ibinahagi niyo sa isa’t isa ang mga pangarap niyo sa buhay. Ngayon, lumisan siya nang walang pasabi. Bukas, simula na ng pagharap mo sa buhay nang wala siya sa tabi mo, wala para gabayan ka o sabihin kung mali ang tinatahak mong landas.

Teka, bakit Tagalog? ‘Di ba Eng 1 ang subject? :))
