JOURNAL | Semester's Almost Done

Semester's Almost Done

Finally, I'm almost done though I think I'll de really dead after this semester. But that's the least of my worries. What I am happy about now is the fact that everything will come to their place soon. Just one more subject, pass the paper and voila, that's it. Today I learned something useful from my professor. I won't ever forget her. Divide 24 hours into three, 8 for work, 8 for play, 8 for sleep. The last should always be complete and if I need to work over time, time should be taken from play. Hmm, makes sense to me. Next semester I'm still weighing up the possibilities but I might take just three subjects so I can have a lighter life and work at the same time. I may not be an honor student but at least I'm healthy. Health is more important.

I feel blessed, despite tribulations

I just finished working on two gruesome papers which I think would only go in the dumps because it's really a trash. I am so exhausted, I haven't sleep yet but there are still some other work to finish. It's like my job does not end but I'm giving my self until this Friday and I'll be all right. I'll do whatever I do and I'll search for my self.

JOURNAL | I Am the Best

I Am the Best

Eyes feel like closing, brain refusing to process, body almost giving in. It's just so difficult to work when you are so sleepy. I studied last night but I didn't get much out of a crammed information taking. I think I'm really dead this semester. The hell I care. I just need to fix my academic life. I'm not usually like this. I am the obssessive compulsive type. But the only thing that makes me OC about is my stupid hair that looks like wig every so often. Up to now, I haven't achieved what I planned when I was in Korea. No cellphone, no clothes, and most especially no house. I am smart but I can't maximize this intelligence. I can't understand why. I am becoming more lazy everyday. Yes, I am trying to change but my attempt is futile. I guess I should put more effort. I hate being mediocre. I want to be at the pinnacle again. I don't want to be looked down. I have nothing except for the respect others give to me. Without those then I am trash. Am I asking for assurance from others? I guess, this is the reason why I don't trust myself. If only I can stand on my own, but whenever I try I always fail. There's always that point that I feel there's no reason for keeping this pretending. There's only one thing that I want to happen and that is to be the best among the rest. I want to be the best again.

Theater 100: A Compilation of Narratives

Then where shall I begin. The story of theater is a long one indeed. But let me take some time to write things which I think deserves to be written.

THE ELIZABETHAN THEATER

James Burbage, father of Richard Burbage, erected the first theater building and was called "The Theatre". >>who is also part of the movie Shakespeare in Love. The Main Structure of a Theater: Pit, Canopy, Heavens, Tiring House, Gallert, Tower, Discovery Place, Balcony, Cellarage >>typical of early renaissance theater similar to the guilds The Stage Has apron but bare, no scenery nor props, continuous The Globe Theater Shakespeare's plays are performed here >>but Shakespeare moved from The Globe to Blackfriar's Actors Must have good voice and certain knowledge, and femme roles are played par les hommes. Two Kinds of Acting Companies Adult Companies & Boys Choir Two Main Acting Companies in London 1. Lord Chamberlain's Men 2. Admiral's Men Elizabethan Costume: 1. Status of speaker 2. Spectale visually exciting 3. Keep attention of less educated 4. Symbolic Elizabethan Playwrights Shakespeare, Marlowe, & Jonson John Fletcher & John Webster

JOURNAL | Sleep is my greatest enemy

Sleep is my greatest enemy

It's not that I don't have anything to do at the moment. On the contrary, there are many waiting to be finished. But the room is proving to be a challenge. My eyes, drowned by four cups of coffee seem to surrender to the sleepiness I feel. As I've said, the room is so comfy that I don't feel like doing anything except sleep. I'm not even in the mood for this writing. I want one thing and that is to sleep. But if do then I don't want to face tomorrow anymore. I need to do my tasks now or else I'll be facing more consequences so I better go ahead.

Theater Production Review...  Teresita Performed by AGHAM (University of Makati)

 

Though the title evokes some kind of a contemporary theater production similar to Carmen or Miss Saigon, truth of the matter is that this play is nothing anywhere near the two mentioned plays. In fact, it is actually a depiction of St. Therese. Expectedly, the story centered about the ups and downs of the young lady who wanted to serve the convent at a very young age.

JOURNAL | How to Become Successful in Your Academic Career

Simple Steps
(How to become successful in your academic career)

It’s 3 am. My head is getting dizzy. My hand is shaking and I’m getting nervous. The exams are 5 hours away and I know I’m not prepared. Dawn comes, a rooster cocks and the city springs to life. I dash to my classroom to take that dreaded exam. Faced with a blank paper, I keep telling myself, ‘I know the answers… but why can’t I remember them.’ I didn’t sleep the entire night for this and still I can’t recall the right answers. Then someone suddenly stands, confidently hands in his paper and peacefully walks out of the room. That was the smartest in the class. In the middle of my struggle I wondered how he could be that smart.

JOURNAL | Random Ranting

I don't know what is happening but for the past few days, I've been feeling so distraught and hopeless. Perhaps this is just an effect of my phone's zero balance state, perhaps not. There is really no telling but things have not been according to my plan.

JOURNAL | The Same Old Sunday

Well, what should I expect from this Sunday?

The neighbors as ever are belting it out as they sing from that stupid videoke at the middle of the day like they are the only ones living in the neighborhood. I just hate it. It would have been useful if they have been a liitle more considerate. Oh boy, now I can't study. With all these noise. It makes me so irritated and vexed. I'm so fed with all this crappiness. I hate it. I simply hate neighbors singing. I wish they would shut up the !@#$ up!

Wika Ko sa Pelikulang Koreyano: Isang Pagtalakay sa Kung Paano Nakakaapekto ang Pagsasalin ng Wika sa Pelikulang My Sassy Girl

Hindi maikakailang naging bahagi na ng buhay ng mga Pilipino ang panonood ng pelikula. Ang pelikula ang isa sa mga libangan ng mga Pilipino na hindi pwedeng mawala sa atin. Sa katunayan, malaki ang naging gampanin ng pelikula sa ating kultura. Dito sa mga pelikulang ito naipapakita ang mga nangyayari sa ating lipunan. Hindi ba’t panahon pa lamang ng mga Amerikano ay nagsimula ng tangkilikin ng mga Pinoy ang mga pelikulang noo’y sa sinehan lamang ipinapalabas.

JOURNAL | The Same Old Sunday

Well, what should I expect from this Sunday?

The neighbors as ever are belting it out as they sing from that stupid videoke in the middle of the day like they are the only ones living in the neighborhood. I just hate it. It would have been useful if they have been a little more considerate. Oh boy, now I can't study. With all these noise. It makes me so irritated and vexed. I'm so fed with all this crappiness. I hate it. I simply hate neighbors singing. I wish they would shut up the !@#$ up!

I am not usually like this. Ranting like crazy but I just can't help it. If you were in my position, I bet you would wish you can just burn that videoke machine so you can think clearly. I simply can't focus. This is maddening. Now, I am forced to flee to a more suitable place to study. I am going to Mini Stop just a few blocks away to escape this. Maybe there I'll be able to finish my homework. As I have unsurmountable amount of homework which by the way involve statistics. If I were a genius then I won't have to burn all those neurons just to do this but nature has not been kind to me. I have to put extra effort to get through all these exercises. Yes I am not a number person and the only way to keep up with my major subject's demands is to really focus, focus and may I say focus. This is really killing me. 

I've just consoled myself that only three more semesters and goodbye to all papers and reports. The bigger world is waiting for me. For the meantime, I need to go take a bath, eat a very late lunch and flee from the world of the noise-polluted house.

Science and technology for nature

This is a rough essay on science and technology so I apologize if this isn’t very substantial.

Close your eyes. Imagine a world where people live in caves, a world where the only means of transportation is through bare feet; the only way of cooking is by roasting meat on fire; the only way of communicating is by yelling; the only design of clothings is sheets of tree barks. How do you reckon would it feel to be in this kind of situation? To be in a situation where science and technology have never evolved into what we are seeing in the present.

Slang 

I wish I could work 24/7 but my bodu just couldn't stand it. Last night I pulled
an all-nighter to finish a paper. Yes I finished one but failed to do the other
one. I know sometimes I'm such an airhead feeling like I can do everything and
ace 'em but sometimes I am all ears to my professors as I wouldn't want to miss
anything from their class.
I bet the driver had ants in his pants when he slammed to that car. Who wouldn't?
At that kind of situation, he might be at the end of his rope. No money to pay the driver of the broken car.
I went to the library, tried to look like an average Joe.
While walking, a classmate told me of a reporting. Wanted to put it on the back burner but it's up this monday.

My Sassy Girl (Tagalog Script)

After an arduous task of transcribing the entire movie which took me for about three days, sacrificing too many classes, here it is, the Tagalog script of MY SASSY GIRL. To all you people out there, who would be using this, please never forget to cite my name. A little acknowledgment is all I ask. That's all. No copyright reserved. I don't own the creative idea behind the script.

JOURNAL | Reports

Reports

I just finished two reports today or should I say bombed two reports, skipped an important class too. I don't know what's the matter with me. I didn't sleep the whole night just to finish a stupid report I'm paranoid I might be charged with plagiarism though I never really intended to steal somebody else's work. I just didn't have the luxury of time to see whether I have violated some pedantic rules of using sources. I don't know what to do anymore except sleep . I'm so spent. Today is Thursday and one more day before weekend comes.

I can't sleep again tonight because I need to finish one last major paper for this week. Failure to do so would ruin my entire future so I better start working.

JOURNAL | Why suffer?

Why suffer?

The weather has been so scorchingly hot today making me completely devoid of any desire to finish my reports for the next day. And so there I was lying in bed, sweating like an open faucet. Even my ears were like buckets from catching all the drip. I just so hate it. I want to move out. Find a better house. I will do it very soon.

Went to Church early this evening. And perhaps I was very sleepy that I found it difficult to understand what the priest was saying. I just kept on singing.

Now am back in my room, trying so hard to get over with my responsibilities and start living a life. I hate this kind of life. I want to live the life I've dreamed in Korea. Come to think of it. Why have I to suffer when I won't be needing and certainly using this stupid academic life. I am already smart and God bless my soul I don't have to suffer. I just know that I am better off without academic burden.

JOURNAL | Internet: what a mess

Internet: what a mess

It has been a week since I started using my internet connection. I was fool enough to think that my life would be so much better and easier now that I have a am connected to the world wide web. But look at me now, I am so miserable. I couldn't do the things I am supposed to do in my life. My academics and job are now affected by my addiction to surf internet sites which do not in any way make any significant contribution to me as a person. In short, I am just surfing stupid sites.

Well there is really no one to blame but me, myself and I. Like now. I am supposed to find a new house but because I keep on using this stupid internet, I just couldn't go out. I feel so miserable now. I hate it. I hate myself. My room is so messy but I couldn't find the time to fix it.

All right, from now on I'll be more conscious of my time. I have a dream and I need to focus. It's not too late for me to change yet. I'll redeem myself. I will have good grades, make lots of money and use the internet for business purposes only. No porns.

Things to do

This week, I am soon to die.

I am going back home not to rest but to show some friends around the city of Lucena.

Then on Sunday, pick up a friend at the airport.

How oh how can I do these things. Stupid me.
