blogs are an incredible waste of time

REXONA first day FUNK?!?!

2005-06-04T10:54:00.000+08:00

do these guys have any idea what the word FUNK means?!?!?!

hahaha! the oxymoronic ad kills me.. i had a really good laugh the first time i saw the ad on some billboard..

hahaha!!!!

FUNK /fungk/ n. sl. 1 funky music. 2 US a strong smell.

as far as i know, when somebody tells you that you smell funky, it's not the rexona scent that the ad is trying to sell. something smelling funky means smelling like body excretions or the smell of someone who didn't take a bath for several days..

i dont think rexona wants that smell..

musicians who invented funk back in the day were known to smell 'funky' because of their fun, carefree(not to mention careless), easy going lifestyle and eventually the word stuck to the genre of music whose sound is also like their lifestyle...

funky.

now because of the new rexona ad, i associate the brand rexona with the word funk.
and i'd be sticking to my trusty old spice high endurance.

jazz/funk is the cure for common cold!

had a great jazzy night last saturday despite suffering from the worst flu i had in ages!

i finally got to jam with THE Ria villena-osorio! it's an honor! sobra! sarap ng on the spot jam!!

wahoo!! plus! the greatest sound system i've ever played with.. way better monitoring than exile. mas maalaga kesa sa exile. kahit mas mahal gamit ng exile. iba na pag maalaga. so ganda na ng sound sa stage tapos nung bumaba ako ganda ng mix sa baba! iniiba nila timpla ng lahat depende sa banda! pansin mo magiiba tunog ng snare pag rock yung band. iba pag jazzy. astig talaga. galing nung tech! o free advertisement... highly recommended ang mobile na ito..(sonically speaking) G sounds and lights. di man sing top of the line ang amps, cymbals, drums.. maalaga!

anyway, it was one of the best gigs i've ever played in! we pulled off the straight male funkrock version of bongga ka day! and the cantaloupe island jam was one of the best jams i've ever done.. sakto pa ending! paglabas ng mga models! hehe. may nagmodel kasi habang tunugtog namin yun so solohan lang kami dun sa background.. saya!!

blag.

blag. bagsak ako sa exam sa 51!!! bakit naman kasi PNP transistor ang ginamit sa 2nd stage?! malay ko ba kung pano yun?! tapos may feedback pa! voltage-shunt pa yung feedback(tama nga ba??)!! ang hirap!! sa collector pa ng PNP nakakabit yung Vout ng amplifier!! shet! tapos bakit naman JFET ang ginamit sa frequency effects?! muntik ko na makalimutan yung shockley's equation!!! pagkatapos pa nun quadratic equation pa! tapos bakit naman class A ang power amp na ginamit?! di ko naaral yun! class b lang alam ko! 31% tuloy ang nacalculate kong efficiency! bakit?!?!?! ang taas! hanggang 25% lang yun dapat a! bad trip! di ko din alam ang RMS at average value ng square wave!!

sana lang... sana lang talaga.. mas matanda ako sa grade ko diyan sa exam na yan..
aba! di biro mag-exam ng tinatrangkaso! kalahati ng time ng exam sumisinga ako! tapos 1/4 ng time umuubo ako! tapos yung inuupuan ko hindi nakaturnilyo ng maayos sa sahig! parang rocking chair na sobrang sama ng pagkagawa..

rant-fest. pagbigyan.

isang madamdaming telenovelang kwento ng pagsisisi at panghihinayang.. ng pait at pighati. kung hindi na lang sana.. hayy.. ang pinakaaabangang teleseryeng pupukawin ang inyong mga puso. maguumpisa ngayong linggo sa abscbn pagkatapos ng love may be blind and so are we.

minsa'y may sanaysay na walang saysay

2005-01-17T23:04:00.000+08:00

ang sarap ng simoy ng hangin! ang sarap ng lamig! ang sarap mabuhay!

kung wala lang akong mga kailangan panagutang mga bagay mas masarap sana.

pwede bang tumanga na lang at humiga sa kama habang umiihip ang hanging malamig?
lalo na kung kayakap ko lang ang pinakamamahal ko... wala nang hahanapin pa!

ayun.. patawad. nangingibabaw ang puso pag nagulantang ng puyat ang utak.

asteeeg. ayus ang bago kong buhok! salamat kay wynna! magugulo ko na ng maayos ang buhok ko! haha! kaya ayun, pinagtripan ko, ngayong araw binagayan ko ang buhok ko ng pormang mala-queer eye! haha! trip lang! pero in fairness, bagay daw. haha! oo na banidoso! ang paborito kong kasalanan sa pito. hehehe

wala talagang balak patunguhan ang sulating ito. inilalabas ko lang ang mga nasa utak ko.. para lang mailabas..

ang sarap magpakatanga. kahit ngyong linggo lang. pwede kaya? katatapos ko lang ng dalawang malupit na exams sa major ko! magkasunod na araw. pareho naming pinagpuyatan. sa kabutihang palad ay nasagutan namin ang exam. sadyang napaghandaan! ang sarap maging handa sa isang mahirap na exam! handang handa kami noon! kumbaga sa patalim ay bagong hasa! kumbaga sa uling ay nagbabaga! kumbaga sa tilapia'y matinik! kumbaga sa pipi'y walang sinabi! haha! private joke namin ng study group. sorry.

inaamag na pala ang tagalog ko. naisip ko lang ngayon, nung kausap ko si lynn sa YM, nauubusan na din ako! wah! bwiset! ang ganda ng analogy ni nika sa edukasyon. isang pabula na tungkol sa kung pano matuto at ang kasamaan ng akademikang edukasyon sa likas na galing mo sa ibang larangan.

isang bibe ang kabilang sa isang klase ng iba't ibang hayop. tinuturuan silang lumangoy, lumipad at tumakbo. magaling ang bibe lumipad, lalo pa kung lumangoy! sa klase'y ang bibe ang pinakamagaling lumangoy, daig pa ang guro! subalit sa pagtakbo nama'y huli, mabagal! minabuti ngayon ng guro na ipatigil na siya sa pagsasanay sa paglangoy, magaling na siya dun e. tinutukan na lang nila ang pagtakbo! hinasa siya ng guro sa pagtakbo! sa kinalauna'y gumaling nga siya! natuwa na ang guro. subalit nung bumalik siya sa tubigan ay nasira na pala ang 'webbed' feet ng bibe at di na makalangoy ng maayos!

dapat tutukan ang natural na galing ng tao. iniisip ko tuloy, kaya ba pumapalya na ang aking kakayanang magsulat ay dahil sa ilang taon ko nang ginugugol sa pagpapakadalubhasa sa larangan ng inhinyera? marahil hindi! pero baka oo. hindi kaya't ibang kagalingan ko ang di ko napansing nasira dahil sa mga napili kong pagtuunan ng pansin? ni hindi ko naman talaga nakilala ang aking natural na kagalingan. pumasok ako agad sa kolehiyo na hindi alam ang aking kalakasan. pero sa tingin ko may butas ang pabula. kung ano hindi ko alam. kung wala naman ay idealistiko ang kwento, pag-inilagay sa kontexto ng tunay na buhay ay madaming detalye o mga bagay na makakaapekto sa kalalabasan ng lahat ng bagay. baka dun may sabit ang kwento.

ewan ko. huli na ang lahat para pagmunimunihan ang ganyan. kung ginagawa ko na lang ba lahat ng kailangan ko gawin e di masaya. makakatapos ako at magagawa na ang gusto ko!

pero teka.

bakit ba antagal pa ng hihintayin bago magawa ang gusto mo?! di ba sayang ang buhay?? naalala ko na may nagforward sa tatay ko ng text na sinasabing: tatlo lang ang baitang sa buhay ng isang tao.

una, may sapat kang lakas, at oras, subalit walang pera
pangalawa, may pera ka at lakas, subali't walang oras
panghuli, may pera ka at oras, subalit wala kang lakas

tangina ayoko ng ganun! di ba magkakasabaysabay yun?! ayoko tanggapin pero ganun nga ang nangyayari sa atin! o baka dito lang sa pilipinas kaya walang lumiligaya!

kolehiyo ka, unang baitang. tapos magtatrabaho ka, ikalawang baitang. tapos pagtanda mo, retirement, ikatlong baitang. ubos na ang buhay mo!

karimarimarim naman kung ang buhay ay ganun lang. ano pa 'tong pinaghahandaan ko kung ganoon? di ko ba inaaksaya ang iilang makabuluhang sandali ko sa mundong ibabaw?

nalingat ako. may nagpakitang daga sa akin. at alam niyang walang makakatakas sa bangis ng aking kwarenta y singko... na pellet gun.. kinorner ko sa banyo at pinaputukan. lima lang ang bala ng baril ko. napatay ko sa tatlo! at minercy shot ko pa ng isa para sigurado. isa nanamang daga ang nabawas sa dati'y maaliwalas naming tahanan. kung bakit dinadaga ay hindi ko alam.

nagsawa na ko magsulat. aba, mahaba na pala. sige, tatapusin ko na dito itong sanaysay na walang saysay.

basang basahang pedestrian

2005-01-09T17:16:00.000+08:00

hwahahaha!

wala na talagang tatalo kay bayani fernando!

nakakahiya na 'to, na kailangan pang basain ng basang basahan ang mga pedestrian para umalis sa kalsada!

at wala nang mas tatama pa sa sinabi ni bayani.. it's not a human rights violation because humans have no right to wait right in the middle of the road for a ride.

matapos ata ng martial law naging exaggerated tayo sa human rights na hindi na natin nirespeto ang batas.

mas nakakahiya ang mga nagrereklamo na bakit daw sila babasain e nagbihis sila't lahat. e potangena pala niya di wag siya humarang sa kalsada!!

tandaan nila, di lang motorista ang nasasakupan ng batas trapiko. mga pedestrian din!

yung nasagasaan sa commonwealth, tama yung pulis, wag nila sisihin yung nakabangga, BAWAL tumawid dun e. di porket kotse ang nakakapatay e kotse ang may kasalanan. kaya tayo may batas para maiwasan yun. ang tanging kasalanan nung nakabangga ay ang pagtakbo niya. hindi ang pagbangga.

wish list:
sana higpitan ang batas sa headlight lalo na sa mga tricycles na parating nasa highway kahit bawal sila dun.

sana patuparin ng maayos ang clean air act.

sana maintindihan ng mga mmda na swerving din ang kumakanan galing sa kaliwang lane at ang kabaligtaran.

sana ayusin nila ang mga signs lalo na sa makati bago sila maging ganun kastrikto sa paghuli.

ayusin ang signage sa manila.

pantay na pagtrato sa public at private vehicles. hindi yung parating private hinuhuli e obvious naman minsan na mas malala ang ginawa ng public vehicle lalo na yung mga p*tanginang bus na kala nila ipis lang yung katabi nilang sasakyan.

pasensya na at stressed, galit sa mundo. ahehe..

stress means imminent graduation

2005-01-06T01:29:00.000+08:00

"stress means imminent graduation"
::mimai

that should be my mantra..

i was ranting about my academics induced stress to a lot of people yesterday (by the way, im sorry for that kung sino man ang naabala) when mimai replied that she's proud that im stressed coz it means graduation is imminent.

is that true? well i hope it is.. thanks mimai! now im savoring the stress im having! wahoo!

boy, im easy.. hehe

today i spent 13 straight hours in front of the computer to finish stuff im supposed to have done during the break! yeaah yeah, im to blame.. but anyway, that's half of one requirement.. im gearing myself up to do the second file tonight.. basically, i had to transcribe 20mins of speech into its lowest level, phoneme. why?! it'll be used for training the system that my batchmates will use for the speech recognition system that they're developing so the computers can understand filipino speech. i think they're developing a program for palmtops this time.. hope it'll be commercialized soon! it'll be a product of filipino ingenuity! go UP! wahoo! hehe.. anyway, back to my point. 1 minute of speech takes roughly 30mins to transcribe! wah! its really a waste of precious time.. i would've gone to saguijo to catch sound, updharma down and other jazzy bands.. hay.. e well, who can i blame..

i thought i'll just post something on my blog before i went straight to work..

procrastination.

yep. guilty as charged. but hey! i need something to talk to! the whole time, all that i was talking to were online people in YM! come to think of it, i hardly uttered anything today! wow! fascinating! knowing me?! hahaha!

anyway, sige na.. tama na procrastination. i'll wind this up.. and hope i think of something better to write about(not to mention something worth reading) than my day..

i hate it when blogs become diaries. haha!

pahabol:
the rest of my to do list(for my own reference!):
COE115 MP2 program and/or circuit debugging ASAP
DSP transcription 2nd file on friday din ata.
EEE51 problem set on friday
MC GA on friday
ES1 exam on saturday

blogs are an incredible waste of time.

2005-01-03T17:00:00.000+08:00

what a perfect time to start a blog. the start of the year.

i have no idea why im blogging now. its the busiest time of the sem, probably of my whole college life yet here i am getting my lazy quasi-vegetarian ass fatter and fatter online, procrastinating.

i have more important things to do.

but what defines important?

why the f*ck am i blogging now? i have responsibilities to attend to. like my electronic circuits problem set, my thesis readings, the DSP transcription assignment, i have to learn how to bootload a program from an eprom to an sram using a z80 microprocessor(and fast! deadline is 2 days away!), i have to record my bandmates an a few jammers for the new songs to be done for the makopa EP, i have to mix the previous tracks that have already been recorded, plus i have to solve the logistics problems so i CAN actually record my bandmates, oh and im the president of an org!(okay, at least now i have my to do list online in case ALL of my to do lists, which by the way i never actually use, vanish)

plus! classes resume tomorrow! its friggin 1am and im still awake!

i have no right to blog! or do i? let me rationalize...

im a frustrated writer, i've never learned to write well. probably because of 5 years in engineering school. yep, math kills vocabulary brain cells. haha! right blame the academic institution for my lack of academic writing skills or whatever you call it. maybe its a calling, to blog so at least i can still practice writing! okay, that's one.

hmm, blogging might keep me sane.. i always have a lot of thoughts that are scattered all over my head, distracting me from what i really have to think about. if i write them down, they might get organized in my brain, itd be like defragmenting my brain then backing it up in this blog! ghad how geeky can you get!

im always online, sometimes i run out of things to do. if no one is online in YM, i have no new email i stare at the monitor idle.

no im not idle, im just lazy. got that from zieg's YM status. well it goes for me too! i pretend to be idle when actually i have a lot to do..

hmm, come to think of it, im not idle, im doing a lot of work! my homework reference book is open(i just finished folding the pages containing the problems i have to answer), my readings are scattered on the bed(in fairness, i've actually finished reading one of them), i was chatting earlier with a eee friend inquiring about the bootloading stuff. so you can say im actually at work! haha! if i was the apprentice's omorosa, i might say im actually accomplishing something here. (for those who dont watch the apprentice, this girl is a phoney, incompetent, selfish person. i dont watch too, the first episode i've ever seen was the finale. and already, i cant stand the woman! she's the reason why kwame lost)

so have i justified my blogging already?! i don't know.. o well, its here, i've posted my first post so there's no turning back now..

ps: rereading what i just wrote, i realize how bad a writer i am! damn.. i should go back to my math and talk to the computer! haha! nah, who cares.. its a start..

The Tangy Taste of Poo Nyeta

kalayaan, my idea of freedom (sparked by that makopa post) and some philosophical shit

2005-01-03T02:20:00.000+08:00

Makopable: Freedom is a dream

one of my bandmates ranted about the concept of freedom. i think he/she overcomplicated and overintellectualized stuff.

its probably my philosophy that the world works by having countless simple things interact with each other that made me react violently to the post. well it is! all the problems of the world can be modeled as a simple thing and from the solution to that simple thing we consider the non-idealities that interfere with its simplicity. nothing is really complicated. i learned that in engineering school. if you treat the concepts we are taught metaphorically, you'll see what i mean. basically you have an ideal situation, solve it theoretically(assuming it's ideal), then as you go higher(more "complex", so to speak), you inject non-idealities to the problem, making it more real. and deal with those non-idealities one by one. after that, you can now deal with the real-life problem.

that's probably why mmda chair bayani fernando is getting stuff done, wether you agree or not. coz he's an engineer! he probably thinks that way too!

this is what i have to say, actually, this is what i said about the post:

hey! freedom is my first name!

its not bullshit.

you are as free as you choose to be.

you just have to prepare to face the consequences of the kind of freedom you choose.

its not restricting in any way. your twisted idea of freedom is utopian. you want to be able to do anything you want sans the consequences and effects.

but those consequences and effects are caused by the freedom of others. so why step on theirs? golden rule man.

welcome to the real world. its much simpler than you think.

as a newbie in the blogging world, who aims to comment on everything in his blog, it would be normal to analyze blogs. its probabaly cliche, a blog on blogs, but hey, its what im thinking of right now. so bear with me.

before i started my own blog, i was just a reader of the blogs of my friends. that's beside the point, i dont know why i wrote that sentence. anyway, before i read other people's blogs, i used to think blogs were for egotistic people who want the world to know what's happening with their lives.

you know, i still think that. i'll cut the crap. hahaha!

nah, just kidding, upon reading my friends' blogs, i realized that it wasn't. they saw it as a venue for deep thinking, sharing, ranting, venting frustrations, raving, singing(for those who post song lyrics), or whatever.. basically, its a place for mental, intellectual, emotional, and philosophical masturbation! haha! so now i understand why people blog. it's for yourself! its for your own gratification!

or at least, that would be MY reason for blogging.. it'd be for me.. so there. haha!

my second post! now i have to learn how to tweak my blog's layout.

but i have so much to do!

hah! i was right with my blog title:

for some people, blogging is a waste of time. for me, it's an incredible...

...waste of time.

(hmm, that would make a great signature for all my posts.. haha! got that from conan o'brian[brien? brian? whatever] by the way..)

kitakits!
