"She Will Be Loved"

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the backround]
try so hard to say goobye
try so hard to say goobye

Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goobye

harharharhar. imagine you spending your day all cooped up in a room where the main smell is that of ferric chloride or that smell that comes out of a presensythized pcb. argh. masakit sa head no. add to that the smell of lead after you gallantly tried to solder your stupid sma connector to the ground, which, on the other hand, kept going off when you were about to measure your s11's and s22's. oh cut the crap. nobody wants the sordid details of my summer lab class anyway.

masakit tong neck ko. bad trip. ewan ko kung exactly san ko nakuha tong stiff neck na to. malamang nung nasa sm north akong jeep. oh well.

been busy the past few days, fabricating boards, sleeping, reading the z8 encore! manual, sleeping, reading the cc1000 data sheet, sleeping, reading transcripts of smallville, gilmore girls, and buffy, and oh, sleeping again. i must remind myself to eat coz i keep on forgetting that i should eat. hahaha.

bebeng went to cel kanina to give me nikki's cds. astig, kala ko my sassy girl lang tsaka blue crush ipapahiram niya kasi yun lang nabanggit ni nikkidoodles sa kin. ahaha, may butterfly effect pa at pinagpipilitan kunin nila athan at dyopel kanina sa kin. isama mo pa dun ang pinahiram sa kin ni jocris na shaolin soccer hahaha =D

saw madonna earlier in cs canteen. she lost her retainers daw. ashushushu....sabi ko kadiri ka mads! tas sabi niya, i know! hahaha. yun ang uber-kikay talaga. :) sa lahat ng kakikayan siya ang reyna.

oh well. bee happy day tom. too bad grad ball din. hee hee. must pretend kikay ako tomorrow =D

whattaloser



i'm such a loser :(

lowla kept reminding me to do the thesis, which, i was (am) doing....but the problem is, i'm still having difficulties in understanding the code. maybe i should do some fasting on the net for a while and focus on the whole stupid for some time.

damn. my future depends on it. i should really do this.

ho hummm....

demon a.k.a. hellboy on the loose




Hellboy is so freakingly hellish today. He keeps telling me to get off the net kasi baka tumawag yung naghire sa kanya. Like duh, as if, who will call to hire somebody in the middle of the night? Pakshet siya. Wag niya kong bibwisitin at nabibwisit ako ngayon. Ang init init kasi eh. Argh!

Watched Buffy earlier. Hmmm...Mejo okay na ang aking TV life. I got to catch a little of Smallville last week. Well, what can I say? I'll have to watch tomorrow again. Hehe. Or I will just wait for Elai to finish copying Fezter's CDs. Hehe.

Anyway, the 197 class started kanina. Doc M just lectured blah blah blah blah. Hehe ok lang. He gave us permission to fall asleep naman eh. Too bad I didn't have the guts to black out because of sleepiness hehe. =D

Elai, Lea (a.k.a. Vannelyn, a cross between Vanness Wu and Jenelyn Starstruck), and Anncute are my groupmates in the first experiment. It was fairly easy except for that the fact that the experiment describes an equipment that we were not using. So hulaan galore na lang di ba? =D

We have to submit our lab notebooks to his majesty Doc M on Wednesday afternoon. Too bad for me, when can I harass Fernieweeds for the Encore! lesson kaya? Hahahaha. Oh well. I can't do my lab notebook yet because ELai took home the notes and I don't have any notes. Ako pa naman nagrecord nung experiment, kainis. Oh Well.

Next time ulit.

ang inet

song of the day: crash into me | dave matthews band
current rave: murang board shorts!

our dowell little industrial fan went kaput last night (or was it the other night? i can't remember). a flame just burst out of nowhere. carabelles was saying something like "ambaho naman, parang sunog" and then ayun, bigla na lang umapoy. and then i just stared. yeah. i just stared. tulala ang lola mo. ewan ko ba. buti na lang i woke up from my trance and decided to unplug the pathetic thing from the socket.

had to sleep with another electric fan. the replacement fan was so pathetic it kept screeching over and over again. ang sakit sa tenga. parang tumitili just to annoy cara and me. the result: cara and i woke up with these stupidly painful headaches. argh.

had to go to sm to buy another industrial fan =D i coerced momsie to go to the surplus shop so i could buy 2 pairs of shorts for a measly 200 bucks! haha! ang saya saya. now i can spend the rest of the money on something else. never mind da vinci, even if copies in nbs are everywhere. (angels and demons copies are nowhere in sight). i dunno. might buy another pair of glasses although magsasayang lang ako ng pera nun. i'll use my old ones na lang. shades? when the trip is near na lang siguro, i'll make patol those shades i saw in nafnaf na mejo lang less than 200 bucks lang din haha. swimwear? not sure. my mom might give me money for 'em. hehe. might go for that woman driver shirt in nike or that cutesy wallet in nike pa rin hehe =D

dunno really. i'll keep the moolah na lang muna siguro hehe. =D when we're back from mindoro siguro i'll find something to buy hehehe...

THINGS TO BUY:

(1) nike blue wallet
(2) nike woman driver shirt
(3) some sleeveless chuvanelles pa naman malampasan tong summer na to.
(4) shades
(5) glasses
(6) swimwear
(7) board shorts

wouldn't it be nice if we were older and we wouldn't have to wait for long
and wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong?
you know it's gonna make it that much better
when we can say goodnight and stay together
oh wouldn't it be nice?

new layout, ece 141 and contest to boast of

mood: wala lang. tamad. ecstatic.
song of the day: wouldn't it be nice | the beach boys
current rave: removals!

got myself a new layout. made it all day. got the idea from someone sa kakasearch ko ng free layout. changed the graphics though. basketball naman. kasawa na volleyball eh. to think na i like playing basketball more than volleyball hehehe. anyway, saka na lang ulit yung leila barros craze ko kapag july na hehehe, may grand prix daw ulit dito yey!

++(+)++


who would've thought that mam gev would recycle the questions from our long exams and use them for the removals?! eh yun yung ginawa namin buong gabi eh, ang magsolve ng lahat ng questions sa past exams sa white board! 2 lang ang di namin masagot. sure sure i should have known that considering i flunked her "recycled" removal exam in coe121 but then i was too lazy back then and i already had accepted that i flunked so i didn't want to study anymore. yung recycled naman niya noon, yung exams lang din pero take home yung exams namin. hello, ano ko magpoprogram ng matlab sa papel? hehe alam ko sayang considering that i missed that passing point by some measly points (shet) pero ganun eh.

teka nga hindi naman coe121 yung pinag-uusapan eh, eto o:

PUMASA NA KO NG ECE141!!!!!

wahahaha...dyopel was even more ecstatic than i am. hahaha. kinamayan pa daw niya si mam gev. sino ba naman kasi mag-akalang magbibigay pa siya ng removals no? sobrang ang ganda nung exam kaya. i was smiling from the moment i received the question sheets! hahaha! sabi ko nga after ko magtake ng exam at lumabas ng lc1, "wow, pakshet, this is the first time na nakangiti ako pagkalabas ng exam!" sad to say, there are still peeps na hindi umabot sa cut-off nila. 50-50 kasi yung grading. 50% of your pre-removal grade plus 50% ng removal exam grade kapag umabot ng 60 yun, 3.0 na. if not 5.0 talaga. oh well. too bad. 5 of them ata.

pero still, hahahahaha!!!! i can't freaking sleep!

++(+)++


we got in as one of the 12 finalists in the Microcontroller-Aided Design Contest by Zilog dun sa Grant Proposals chuvanells. it's got something to do with asking them to finance your project. hehe eh yung thesis namin ay nagkakahalaga ng tumataginting na 30k! sana maayos yung presentation namin sa monday.

too bad the laser thing didn't get in sa grant. oh well. sana sa open design thing keri pa.
