Things I Learned in College (cont...)

Sad to say, I missed blogging about the second semester of my third year in college. I'm sure I had a pretty good excuse at that time, although now I can't seem to remember what it was.hehehe :D
I think it's a waste to not finish the series of 'things i learned in college' posts I started since my first year of college, more so now that I'm already in my 4th year and just have 1 year and 1 sem to go!

So here goes!
This 4th year 1st semester, I learned -

1. That right now my typing position is not ERGONOMIC. My elbows do not form a 90-degree angle, my feet actually need a foot rest so that they do not suffer from strain, and that my lumbar spine is not getting enough support! :D


2. That if Ma’am Dakay has a toothache, we either have no classes…or we get a relatively easier exam. :D


3. That OC does not only mean “Obsessive Compulsive” nor “Orange County”, it also stands for “Operating Characteristics”. :D


4. That I need a thicker notebook and more ballpens if ever I will be under Engr. Cabilao’s class again.hehehe :D (thank you diay sir for our grades!wahhhh)

5. That I need to thank the makers of Excel OM and Excel QM, because without them POM would have been a lot lot LOT harder!

6. That people sometimes go crazy during the making of case studies. ( I heard si Peter daw kay mag sayaw2x?hehehe )

7. That Peter(again), Sheng, Cinco and Jing2x prefer their rice to their viands=p

8. That if Engr. Cabilao gives out tables that you are clueless about, you SHOULD REALLY ask him about it! It’s the basis for his FINAL exam :(


9. That it can take as long as 45 minutes for you to travel from school to Neo Neo riding an average jeepney. Riding with Aaron however (shortcut), can eliminate at least 25 minutes waiting time.hehehe :D


10. Likewise, it will take you as long as 1 hour and 30 minutes to travel from Echavez to USC-TC on a very busy Tuesday on an average jeepney.

11. That Sir Gimena is also known as Sir Chbz!hehehe

12. That if…

“All girls are beautiful.”
and,

“Lea is a girl.”

Applying the rules learned in this sem’s Logic class will yield the following VALID conclusion:

Ergo, Lea is beautiful.” Ha-ha-ha ” <---THE laugh! :D

13. That according to the speaker in the convention:

“Customer loyalty is more important than customer satisfaction. Because there will always be times when you cannot satisfy your customers…but some customers will return anyway out of LOYALTY to the company.”

14. That Ladygay is a GREAT test subject for I/O Psych :D


15. That walking under a midday sun from UC to USC (for fear of being stuck in traffic and ending up late for OR finals) is no mean feat! You’ll feel even WORSE when you reach school all sweaty and find out that the exam has been postponed, and won’t start for another 45 minutes! Wah!

16. That…

“More and more companies are realizing that the cost of hiring the wrong employees greatly outweigh the cost of investing in good employment screening and selection programs.” (Ni gawas jud pag finals..hehehe!)

17. That to get a BIG grade in OR lab… you have to utilize every color and hue available in MS office to beautify your tables and graphs!!!hehehe :D


18. That the boys in my batch are GREAT dancers! Always I wanna be with you…nananana…HARMONY HARMONY oh love…hahahah :D


19. That Jing2x’s burgers are lifesavers! especially on Wednesdays when we have no… as in NO… breaks! :(


20. That POM is super duper useful in English class where we have to make stuff up for business letters for our respective fictitious companies.

Dear Sir, Due to the use of incorrect forecasting methods, capacity was not able to meet demand…and so on… :D


21. That I should order the McDonalds Chicken Fillet over the standard fried chicken because I can save more…and I won’t have chicken bones to contend with. :D


22. That according to our Logic teacher himself: “Lingaw2x raman ning ato!” :D


23. That if you are stalling for time to think about your next line in a mock telephone conversation, do what Jingle and Dotz did… Sooooo…hehehehe :D


24. That Peter is always the only person who’s happy on exams!hahahaha :D


25. That an 18″ Yellow Cab Pizza, a box of Spaghetti, a plate of Calamares, a plate of Shrimp and a plateful of rice is MORE than enough for the six of us, no matter how hungry we think we are!

26. That Mango Jelly is super yummy if it is frozen overnight!

27. That when it comes to paying for our tuitions, in terms of queuing analysis, lambda is far greater than myu. This may explain why a lot of students tend to renege and balk.hehehe

28. That Sheng did a GREAT job as council president this sem! :)


29. That case studies get easier once you get the hang of it :)


30. That we’re almost there! Hopefully… 1 sem, and 1 year to go nlng peeps! :)

The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Have you heard this song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by The Scripts?
This is the link to their music video in YouTube.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

and maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

News Number 1: Presley

For those who know me, I have this habit of naming my stuff.
Call me weird but I don't really think I'm the only one who does this. For one, my friend Jane does too. :)

I named my violin Kino, my phones Kane and Eloise, a stuffed toy is no
w known as Mrs. Clocksworth, an old NEC laptop is "The Colonel", my flash drive is Starfish and my Japanese eDictionary is Arthur.
Well now say hello to the newest member of the family....


My laptop Presley! :D I should think that I would be able to blog more frequently now with Presley. But really my laptop was bought just in the nick of time as schoolwork last semester was making my schedule sooo hectic! Presley was able to lighten at least 20% of the hassle. I love my new laptop! It's fast and I finally have all my stuff organized in one notebook. It makes everything a whole lot easier. From now on, everything blogged in my blogger will be via Presley. Whoopee! :)

I'm Back!

Hello to my blogspot account! It's been a long time since I last checked up on you. Sembreak is here by the way. No, scratch that. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm in mid-sembreak yet I have not had the time to update you. To make it up to you, I'll try and write as many posts as I can between today and until we get back to school...when I'll have to take a quick leave again.

So what have I been up to lately?

XOXO

"You know you love me...
XOXO

Gossip Girl "


I love the Gossip Girl scenes and clothes too much to care about what's really happening in the story. The story is not that spectacular, but I enjoy watching it anyway! :D

I love the fashion, and the elite drama, and the closeted lives each character leads...
... but wouldn't it be horrendous if someone like 'Gossip Girl' was really around? One who spies on your every move and spreads it to others?

Scary...
