Today is my birthday! But I'll start the story from yesterday.
Actually, yesterday wasn't very eventual except for the social dance lesson. Well maybe the star was a little giddy about it. So we left the lab at around 4:50 and went to NIGS to give France her laptop. Then we walked to Vinzons and rode a Katip jeep to McDo, the meeting place.
We talked for quite a while in McDo about... things. Frustrations and fun, I guess you could put it that way. I really missed that. The sparkle in her eyes when she talks about things she like and petpeeves alike. That's why I don't understand why people don't take their time to listen to her. I guess she's not as uncomfortable around me as I thought.
Then Jan Cerezo came. (S)he's gay as expected. Very talkative and interesting. When Don, Dan, and Iana (new person, Lingg freshie and tennis UP varsity and apparently a Christian. Quiet too.) The lesson started at around a little before 7 so we ended at 8.
Then the group wanted to eat dinner but she remembered they had curfew so we went to SM North.
In the FX I asked her what her favorite pizza is and she didn't have one at first but then later she said Sbarro. About pasta there was this Touché or something but I don't know what that is. I'll try that soon.
So I decided to buy Sbarro for tomorrow.
Anyway what's important about that is that I can maintain the status quo as planned. Although I really need to stop thinking of her all the time and focus on the Lord instead.
When I woke up it was early so I washed the plates and had a little brownie for breakfast.
Then I played an Ashe and lost the game partly because of Soraka (terrible support, kept KSing creeps when she can and sightstone is passive, amongst others). But PD-Statikk-Zephyr-Boots of Swiftness Alacrity gives you 475 ms which is very neat. We were winning at first actually. I had some really good moves. But our team was dysfunctional so it was more or less a foreseen loss.
Anyway about the birthday! Malaine is the first to greet me as usual. That's 12:03 AM for the record. Then my dad and mom when I woke up then Danzen who was reminded yesterday and then Tita Beth.
When I got to the lab ate Shiela greeted me and of course Hyae who was there too tagged along.
At around 10 I called Sbarro and ordered the pizza. So estelle came when I was calling and she thought I was asking for molecular sieve but realized it was pizza and greeted me. Ate Carla came and I got new arnis sticks (kamagong) from Palawan! Black and very smooth and elegant. Then Dona came at the same time as the Sbarro so she was a little late.
So I have five people excluding my parents who know my birthday! Although I'm not really particular about it, it still feels nice.
So I asked people to come and eat the pizza and they were full and happy. It was my first time to celebrate birthday at school so I realized a lot of things:
1) It's really awkward when people sing happy birthday because you don't do anything in the few minutes they are singing except smile and look happy even though you'd rather talk to them instead.
2) It's more fun to celebrate birthdays in small groups because you really get to talk to people and also it's cheaper. So maybe next year I'd celebrate birthweek, like I told Aaron. On second thought, maybe not.
3) People like pizza. Even though I chose meatless they ate all of it. I should learn how to cook pizza.
It's a little sad that she wasn't able to eat a lot of the pizza. If she asked I would have bought another stuffed pizza.
Then the three of us went to physics and ask about Raman and the star and I snuck into the Research area and went to Ms. Eloise. She's very... how should I say this? Unsociable? Yeah, I think that's the word. She's actually a tsundere-ish girl who's very dedicated to work as I would learn later.
So I was supposed to go to the Parangal thing but then she was expecting us to join the Raman so I volunteered (I want to, too. I mean it isn't just about the priorities but I also want to see how Raman is done). That was about 1:30 PM then I went to Engglib to brush up on Raman but I accidentally took a nap for a few minutes. I did manage to finish reading but I'm not aware of the causes of the peaks in the TiO2 samples. I mean, all three forms are very different.
So we went to Raman and Ms. Eloise tried to make small talk but it's funny because she doesn't know how. I indirectly asked her hobbies and she says "wala, kailangan mag-experiment" and she snaps just like that. And she's actually very proud and I saw a smile of contempt when she said that GO and Graphene are different, to which I followed-up that the sample is reduced GO. (Which is of course technically graphene but it's common knowledge that it's more wrinkled and has a more terrible Raman spectrum. Well after that they kinda stopped grilling me about our work (thanks to them I got a better point of view of our thesis. Oh and Adelen helped a lot too except in a much nicer way. I forgot to talk about her last it was night or last last night I think).
I made myself useful by preparing the samples and turning the lights on and off (I catch on pretty quickly so I know the procedure more or less: Sample prep make one layer of solid powder sample in glass -> put under the green laser -> optical focus -> something that takes a while and makes a tik-tik-tik sound -> spectro) so I think they like that too. But I don't really know because they are a very close group and they don't talk to strangers. But they are funny and I couldn't stop myself from smiling when they were playfully mocking each other.
So our rGO had a terrible spectrum as expected because it should be FLG at least. So we actually were like getting the Raman spectrum of graphite in that setting. Which was stupid of me to not realize. Well the other samples were more or less nice.
