blank..

writer’s block today.. there’s something in me that really needs flushing out.. but i can’t pin my cursor on it.. i started ranting then ended up ctrl+a-ing and pressing delete.. i started a few lines  but couldn’t move on after the third.. and i almost backspaced passed the line before this but decided otherwise since i’d probably end up leaving here with no post at all.. then i’ll feel really crappy..been thinking about what i want to be doing when i graduate.. my choices right now are hp and trend micro, though honestly, i’m more interested in getting into trend.. i hear it’ a high stress environment.. i never seriously thought of working there when we got the invitation to apply after the TMTC. but now that i think about it, it sounds like a big challenge to work there. i think i’ll call them up next week to see if i could jumpstart my application.. the letter said we had to present a certificate of graduation and tcg if we wanted to apply.. but i was really hoping to have a job by the time i graduate.. don’t want to waste time, i might just get lazy and loose momentum.. to think i already am lazy enough as it is!

things to do:

• 196 vodcast
• 173 mp
• 199 modules
• raket updates

all with a friday deadline. what day is it today?

just got out of hibernation…

i actually went to sleep at 4 am this morning.. then i had to wake up at 8 for the ibm exam.. bad idea not getting enough rest though..the exam, although fairly easy was under time pressure haha i remember reading the first problem over and over cause my brain couldn’t digest it! i think i flunked that exam haha oh well.. that should teach me about getting ample rest before an exam.. trust me.. having a well rested brain helps a lot in exams like that.. “bangag” is the term describing my state of mind hehe oh well.. i hope i get a chance at other companies..

anyway when i got home from the exam, i went back to bed and dozed off till about 5p.m.. i’m not used to having nothing to do.. so i was in bed thinking of random stuff.. then it occurred to me.. i’ve always wanted to sing/play at a bar or restaurant.. i hope i could get to do that before i graduate.. hehe music has always been one of my interests aside from ICT.. my ultimate music dream, getting to sing or have someone famous sing one of my songs in public :p

just don’t want to leave my posts at such an unlucky number..

after working like a dog for about 2 days, i finally feel the fatigue come over me.. mock interview for hp was today.. i guess i did okay.. i just hope i can impress them enough for them to give me a good job.. i’m hoping for a call from p&g too though.. i haven’t been contacted for interview yet and i’m starting to wonder whether i did something offensive at the leadership forum. heheh kidding.. i know i sound impatient but the people who went to the leadership forum with me have already been interviewed..call me paranoid.. it’s just too hard a thought to digest: graduating without a job to fill the void of my soon to be, “school-less” days..that is, hopefully.. part of me is scared that i might mess up this last sem.. i also hope nothing goes wrong with the validation of the subjects that i took in my previous university. i was told that with the number of units that i’ve already acquired outside UP gives automatic validation to some of my subjects.
i also have an interview around next week at astra phils. i applied for a part time job.. i’ve been wasting too much time.. and when i waste time, i seem to waste money while doing it too.. i need a part time job to last me till april. i sure do hope they give me one.. and i sure do hope i can keep the work horse in me alive..

doze blogging..

despite not being able to sleep the past 2 days because of it, the 145 MP was still a fun project to do. The past few months i’ve been immersed in Visual studio getting used to drag and drop gui design. programming in java is just way cooler.. i got reminded of how fun programming could be.. hunting for bugs and figuring out how you can get things to work.. okay, i guess things could also be difficult with viual studio sometimes but i dunno… i guess its true that you don’t ever forget your first love.. i mean, if i were to be a programmer for life and was made to choose my language, i would definitely chose java over visual anything anyday.. though i really do wish they invent a device for thought to text soon.. that would mean a drastic reduce in physical injuries for programmers.. no more eyestrain and no more carpal tunnel syndrome.. thought to text..that was what was running through my mind the whole tiem i was programming today.. my forearms are starting to hurt so much..

i really do wish i’d start ‘not cramming’ soon.. as usual, i had a buzzer beater submission for the project i was working on.. i know i can accomplish far more greater things if only i start on the things i need to do earlier. more mps! i need to practice on my anti cramming campaign! and here i am blogging instead of working on our thesis.. hehe i have quite a deal to finish for thesis but my arms are hurting right now i cant program when there’s something else ailing me.. it’s painful enough just using the brain..:p hmm.. things to do today… i got a mock interview later this afternoon at 4 to 5.. have to prepare my resume and my application form..it’s thursday.. i know i’m forgetting something.. i hope it comes back to me later this morning… my brain cells are dying!! *sigh* earlier this evening, i mean, last night i really felt myself experiencing slow and painful brain death.. i’m also suffering from a bad cough right now. i sound like i got something up my nose. .pimples are all over my face again.. well actually all over my chin.. for some reason they don’t grow anywhere else but there.. i just nticed that i’m babbling.. my mind is wandering about.. i’m glad i can touch type.. allows me to type away while my eyes are somewhere else. it’s a lot more fun to blog when you’re not looking at the screen.. less stressful and it just feels like your thinking aloud while looking at the things that are happening around you. the people seated at the table beside me are looking at me strangely though.. they must be thinking i’m just punching aimlessly my keyboard heheh they must think i’ve gone mad.. oh well.. not my problem..

it’s 3.44 am.. there are still quite a number of people here at mcdonald’s.. good thing they decided to stay open 24 hours or else my ass would be home asleep right now..(yes just my ass) i was at seattle’s the whole day till about 2.30 earlier.. i’ve been there every day the past week..it’s an expensive lifestyle i know but i get to surf and charge my laptop too! and because of UP Cursor i also have a 10% discount on the stuff that i purchase from them.. now is that nice or is that nice? i swear, if seattles went 24 hours, i would make it my home and spend my rent money on coffee and food hehe kidding i’d have to find a place to take my baths too :p coffee + internet = aimee’s.

poof went a week…

hectic.. so much has happened.. yes another week has passed… and the sem’s end approaches faster and faster.. and so do project deadlines :p as usual, i’m on my lazy mode.. haven’t started on my 145 mp yet.. but i better get my ass moving if i don’t want to fail the subject.. geez… got depressed with 131 though.. had my 1st exam on the subject last monday.. it was the SHIT! hehe well, i guess it just serves me right, i didn’t study much.. heck i didn’t even attend class much! aimee… new year.. wake up!!! try to be a student at least in the last three months of college!!

by the way, i submitted another application for a part time job.. i’m spending most of my jobless free time in bed anyway, might as well do something productive.. by productive, i mean income generating.. all “rakets” welcome! i remember doing some “outsourcing” for ie students last year.. i wonder if i’m gonna get any clients this year.. they usually come around feb :p
