Breaktime!

I'm not studying when I'm supposed to.

I don't understand why I'm so hardheaded sometimes! I have learned from past experiences that when you're given a break, you should use this opportunity to catch up on the acad things you haven't had time to do because you've been so busy. But look what I'm doing now? I'm not catching up (well, maybe I am cathing up but on totally irrelevant things)! Instead, I'm having a grand time staring at my computer monitor, uploading pictures from the past, singing disney songs like I used to with friends back in college, watching a movie, and well... writing in this blog.

What am I supposed to be doing? I should be studying. I should be reading Amemiya (my stat book) because I have totally ignored my stat teacher ever since macro midterm exam week (which was what, a month ago!). I should be catching up on my macro readings. I should start reading the relevant chapters from Varian (my micro book). I should be getting friendly with Mas Colell (another micro book). I should review my mathecon slides and read Danao (my math econ book). But I'm not. I'm not doing any of these things. I know perfectly what to do but I'm not doing it!

Why? Because, it's been a very long time since I last had the time to just surf the net, play some games for my neopet, check my email, chat with old friends, download songs and movies, post pictures and blogs... and I think I deserve this time to do all these silly things that my acad will not benefit from.

I think and I feel, I deserve this rest - for my own personal sanity. I have worked hard to get good grades for my midterm exams and now that I'm given a break from one hell week to another, I should really take a break.

It's not going to be a long break. In fact, the break ends when I finally post this journal entry. But at least I had one even if it was short.

Now, back to reality... back to Amemiya, Mankiw, Barro, Varian, Mas Colell, and Danao. Hope we can all be friends.

Futsal CHAMPIONS

Unbelievable! I never thought we could win at the Futsal Schoolymics last Saturday, August 25, 2007. But we did!!! And we didn't just win 1 game, 2 games, 3 games... we won the championship and we won all our games.

Our first game was with the sophomores. Wow, they really wanted to win (especially their team captain, Justin). They ended up in 3rd place. Nevertheless, good game guys! Our second game was with the Freshies. They're a bunch of really hyper people. It was so hard to keep up with their energy. But thanks to my new futsal idol, Jayjay, we made it through. Our third win was with the Seniors who defaulted (I scored a goal!!!... without a goalie... ). And lastly, our championship game was with the Freshies again. Good game! Good game!

Three stars for my teammates who did realy well!!! Congrats guys! Now, we're fully distressed. And what's more, we won ourselves a title - Futsal Champions!!!

(Thanks to Andrew also, for the invaluable support and guidance and for taking our pictures! )

Micro Midterms TODAY!!!

The Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the courage to change the things I can,

The serenity to accept the things I cannot,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

nocturnal...

yes! i'm turning into a nocturnal being - some sort of owl. the only difference is, my big eyes are becoming small. and... i'm ten thousand times fatter than an owl...

one more and then i can finally go back to being a day creature. one more midterm exam - my last (but definitely not the least when it comes to level of difficulty) micro midterm exam...

it'll be on wednesday morning... wish me luck!

for now...

on EQ...

i had my math econ midterms today. hay...

anyways, to raise EQ (emotional quotient), mana, jay jay, philip and i decided to watch rush hour 3. super fun!!! i couldn't stop laughing (even if, according to philip, i was laughing in between jokes).

we were supposed to watch the movie at robinson's metroeast but mana made a wrong turn so we ended up watching it in sta. lucia. and wow! i never expected the sta. lucia cinema to be that good looking. it's not drop-jaw good looking, but it's twice better than the robinson's metroeast cinema. and for me, the robinson's metroeast cinema is habitable.

the movie really did a good job in raising my EQ. now, it's time for the worse.. micro
