November 29, 2015 Sunday

Last Wednesday we focused empty hand martial arts. When you punch, you should keep your elbows down.

Last Friday I ate at Tri Mo with M- E- A- C- and J-. The chicken shawarma is totally legit!!! And then there were a lot of the usual laughs and sassiness. And then there was C-, and I think what's happening it's good but personally I don't like taking advantages of broken people. I mean, even though C- says allez ist gut, I don't think you can easily just. In fact, I still see a lot of wounds. Although there wouldn't be a problem of the guy is sincere and all, it's just a little dangerous. But the way C- is taking steps now makes it a bit okay.

And then we went to Intramuros and walked around Fort. People were late as usual and then we ate at Lucky Rainbow Restaurant in Chinatown and I also bought Lord Stow's egg tart that is recommended by A- and my mom said it's good the first thing in the morning.

And I watched "Mga Kwentong Tsubibo" and saw E- (more of her silhouette) and I learned that selling kidneys is illegal in order to discourage human trafficking. But of course the dilemma was that people were actually willing to sell their kidneys because of poverty. And no one would donate, of course. I freely donate my blood but I'll think ten times before I donate my kidney for a stranger. Of course if it's for my parents or my brother then it's okay.

And then this morning I'm thinking of reevaluating what I'm looking for in a woman. I mean, after all what happened I think it's a proper course of action.

Yes I still think I should love a woman for who she is, all her flaws and all her dreams. But then I'm not just looking for anyone. I'm looking for a partner. I know what I want to do and I don't want another burden. I need someone who would walk with me, and keep me in the right track if ever I turn away.

Yes, I'm complementarian. I'll talk about that some other day. But the point is, Eve was made for Adam to help him in his work. Women aren't necessarily housewives. In fact, they should be partners at work. But then I have the dilemma of raising children. I do NOT want to hire somebody else to do it. Why should my child be raised by another?

So there. Things I don't want, non-negotiable:
1. Princesses that need pampering
2. Quarrelsome
3. Unable to say sorry and accept mistakes
4. Controlling

Things I want, non-negotiable:
1. Follower of Christ
2. Reliable/Trustworthy
3. Humble
4. Has the same heart
5. Able to learn and think

(you'd be surprised how many hold on to beliefs without questioning them in the least)

Of course this is not exhaustive. But it's a good start.

November 23, 2015 Monday

Today the exam result was released. I'm officially an engineer!!! Yey. Also, she passed!!!! :D and T- and the star and c- and c- and a- and l- and j-! But I heard about j- from t- and a- when k- greeted and I feel sad. Also I'm top 5. That's more than what I asked for hahaha.

A lot of people are congratulating because of that and in all honesty it's not really that of a big deal lol. People should stop looking at honors. It's good to recognize a person's skill but people should be selective about the accreditting organization. Not to say that PRC has no value, but the board exam isnt exactly good haha.

Anyway I also talked to her a bit and she's happy of course and she agreed to go out sometime with other friends.

Kogmaw is OP. My brother has been playing him a lot lately and I'm playing nami.

Also I resumed my daily training after two weeks of bum life. Apparently I can do 32 pushups consecutively now. Although footwork is the main agenda today. I also need to get used to the new sticks. Also I decided to memorize the clannad thing and the two sugar snow fairy pieces before I get serious with chopin's revolutionary etude. It should take about a week.

Aparently R2013b doesnt have intlinprog so I'm downloading 2015a right now. Fmincon also seems to not work in R2013b but it was working fine in 2010b. I guess version issues. I need to inspect that. I didnt have the time since I talked to a lot of people. I couldnt do 198 or the project because there were a lot of people. It's good to see them though!! Figuratively of course.

Apparently there was 198 class and I skipped it :(

I can't sleep right now so I'l finish writing the Trinity. I'll try to translate my works in Spanish and post them here haha. Also in french and german and irish later on.

November 20, 2015 Friday

Today I met with friends! A-, L-, and C-. It was good to see them after a long time. We'll be seeing less and less of each other after this.

I also watched the last parts of Harry Potter while my brother was watching.

I didn't do any work today.

November 18, 2015 Wedesday

Today I had lunch w/ T-! It's nice talking to real people. I had fun :) Although she was quiet as usual. Relatively quiet, that is. We just ate at Maginhawa so it's close. She had spaghetti I think and chicken pesto and I had buttered chicken and mashed potato. I don't want to travel far. We didn't go to SM.

And I met I- in TBA!! And then I walked and chatted with him until EEE. Apparently he's doing tennis and thesis and he's aiming to go to Japan for master's and he has one year work contract with a company from scholarship. Alphaland, I think. He's doing something about GPS and buildings and accuracies.

I started the project for ARP. When I become an engineer next week I'll ask for the market data from PSA. But I'm working on the PFD already. The main output is of course the distillation column, but it's useless without the others. I also need to work on ChE 198. I haven't had the hang of MATLAB R2013 yet. Although I surmise it'll be easy. I'll be doing them alternately.

I haven't asked to enter Petron because I'm waiting for the results as mama says. Also I need to fix my resume.

And then I met sir Toto from UP Vanguard who works with VIP Security. He has a lot of experience with Petron and Shell and he has a lot of interesting stories and he knew A- and he was teaching rappelling to cadets there and he was also a good listener. And I learned about the abbreviations for classification of weapons of mass destruction (aka hazmat in our terms): BNICE: Biological, Nuclear, Incendiary, Chemical, Explosives. And there is a real danger in working for refineries since apparently workers and engineers are targetted by militant groups for mere affiliation. It's a good thing I'm learning arnis. And I learned that there are five levels and I want to learn all five so that I can teach the skills to my future children.

And then I learned all the twelve methods and my defenses and stamina are getting rusty due to the week-long non-training.

And I have been talking to the summer moon too.

And I pray that she will pass the board exam and also J- and everyone!!

November 16 2015 Monday

Today is the first day after the boards! A lot has happened. I'll continue on to the second day.

So again I woke up at 5 and took a bath and ate breakfast. I bought CBM Yum for lunch during the exam and then thought that it might not be enough. Then I remembered my tendency to sleep after eating so I left it at that. I also met K-, from a friend school. In fact, she introduced herself. I didn't know how to react though so I just said my name too and smiled. Although yesterday she was the first to come after me and she said hi and she was really friendly. But I had to give food to D- so I asked if she can look after my things and she agreed. She's nice just like that. Quite the eyecandy too, I must say.

The exam wasn't proper. You can't say if it's hard or easy at all, because it was just so terrible. And then after the exam I wanted to play LoL but then B- and friends went home. So I studied again with C- at Simple Line after eating tapa at Ruffo's. I left my phone with Dad so I couldn't text D- but she agreed to come. C- didn't have her number. And of course when talking with C- it's impossible to not talk about her, and of course I'm curious on how she's doing and if she's okay. But then I can't do anything after knowing that so oh well. I still like her but I'm doing well now. I wanted to talk to her a bit but then I don't know what to say. I mean she's still avoiding me, after all. C- says she thinks it's awkward to suddenly be okay. I beg to disagree but then if that's how she feels then I respect it. It also helps me a lot to be honest. We also talked about other things like ChE. But of course it didn't stick as much.

On the third day, I woke up at 2 am and decided to check the internet for things that might show up. Mostly ES11 and ES13 stuff. None of them showed up though. The star asked about sinking fund and SoYD which was about 2 questions in the exam. The third day was easy. I was done at around 10 AM and and have finalized at 12 NN. I took a nap after that and the proctor woke me up after 30 minutes. Apparently the whole room was aware that I was sleeping because the proctor was trying to wake me up for so long. Can't help it; I was already draming. I ate Yum w/ TLC for lunch, although jabee didn't have tomato then so they replaced it with more cheese instead, which I liked.

And I talked to her a little after the exam and then she said it was difficult and that's okay! I pray everyday that she will pass. Along with everyone else too of course.

Here are some of the problems I encountered on the board exam
in general:
Typewritten makes it hard to read.
Lots of typos
Erroneous given
Erroneous answer

The results will be released on nov 23. I don't really have much to talk about regarding the boards. Although I hear a lot of people have been, well, stressed, to say the least.

I asked T- to have lunch on wednesday. It'll be the last time we see each other probably. She'll go home on Saturday.

November 13, 2015 Friday

Today is the first day of exam! My reactions:

"I don't know anything about mercury. Don't ask me!!"

"I'm SO glad I didn't study too much. It'd have been useless. At least I had time for my hobbies."

I back calculated a lot! Haha. Intelligent guesses here and there. The grammar was terrible. The exam is a hodgepodge useless questions (those that are SO basic they're not worth 1 point) and impossible questions (missing/typo in given, no answers in the choices, useless conceptual terms only show-off nerds want to know). It was really bad. Really, really bad. Hence, reaction 2.

So there! There's still tomorrow. I'll tell the details of the nonboard stuff on monday.
