geeky stuff and thesis chuvaloo

OMG! i'm so freaking tired of looking at 1s and 0's! it's just so pakshet. i hate those numbers. wait, wait, i do not hate those numbers, sue bird's jersey number is 10 and i don't hate her. what's to hate? she's probably one of the best point guards in wnba history. i don't know about the 2004 number 1 draft pick diana taurasi but hey, i don't even know what team taurasi plays for! hehe, haven't really watched wnba that much. wait, i haven't even watched that much tv these days. exception na lang when we eat dinner at LUTONG BAHAY where me and my cohorts that night would watch Victim or Extra Challenge on the tv there. astig di ba? ininvade na nga ng mga costumers buong house nila, naglagay pa sila ng tv sa kainan place.

anyway, i think i got sidetracked a little. (a little? eh kung san san ka na nga napadpad!) as i was saying, my eyes are dizzy (do eyes get dizzy?) or what's the word? yeah, blurred, that's it. what i meant to say is, i am getting dizzy and my eyes are getting blurry because i've been staring into the computer monitor here at home and there at my other "home", comms engg lab in UP. i'm so tired of staring into 100010100 10001000 10010100 11010010 10101011 11101010 everyday and having to convert those insane numbers into more insane hex numbers 0x00ff 0x02ea 0x00a2. do they make sense?! noooooohhhh!!! argh! stupid thesis. stupid thesis. stupid thesis. okay fine, i know they make sense, otherwise i wouldn't be doing this thesis but can we just pretend for the meantime that they don't make sense and they just exist to make my life a miserable living hell?

stupid thesis. now i have every reason to hate it coz i know what i'm doing na and i'm not lost anymore like two weeks ago. good going, to think that the HALFWAY presentation is on the first week of AUGUST! argh! and their asking for the docu sa Halfway, gravehnatoh ha?!

i had the oh-so-not-enjoyable panic attack plus migraine attack last night. i was figuring out how to send those freaking 1s and 0s from the pin in my microcontroller code when i realized i'm not sure which direction they should shift. alin ba una? MSB ba or LSB? left or right ba? i tried searching for my zilog bible (hardcopy manual) but no, it's with elai. i actually forgot that i begged her to borrow it since i was about to have nightmares of staring into the schematic of the microcontroller. anyway, so wala yung little zilog book ko. next i searched for the downloaded manuals and data sheets and application notes and white papers and i had forgotten that i stored those stuff into my separate hard disk and that said hard disk is inside my pc in the lab. oh no, panic na talaga. nanikip ba naman dibdib ko. pakshet talaga.

fortunately, i found myself getting back in track with the debugging and the simulation. and well, okay naman kaya lang there was this thing where i got stuck and i couldn't figure out how to do it. i think it has something to do with the "and" "or" "not" "exclusive or" thing. and i repeat, i don't have any manuals! bwiset.

so sabi ko fine, di wag, bukas na nga lang. baka bangungutin pa ko kagaya ni erol (he was saying "packets, packets, nahuhulog, transmit, transmit in his sleep over at CEL) buti na lang i got most of my code straightened out. now my only prob is "will the pin actually output a 1 and a 0 when i need it to output that?" harharharhar.

that's for tomorrow, when i actually debug the freaking thing sa hardware na! whoopee!!!

since i started sleeping over at CEL, i've been listening to Eraserheads' songs. tama nga si ma'am joy. you get to appreciate the songs more if you actually went through UP. okay, fine, granted na di naman talaga ako nag-Kalayaan or nagdorm for that matter, kahit na di ba? In "Ligaya", Ely sings that he will do the girl's thesis and all. ahaha, sana may ganun no? kaya lang yung thesis naman namin di mo basta basta pwedeng isalpak na lang sa kung kanino. baka mabaliw na lang yun kung sakali. kagaya ko, baliw.

anyway since kagabi (kakauwi ko lang ulit from another overnight), nagngangangawa na ako dito sa harap ng oldie na pc na to kakasabay kay ely sa pagkanta. thank God, hindi naman bumagyo hahaha. buti na lang hindi ko pa napapalitan yung putol kong string ng gitara kundi patay, patay talaga si carabelles. hindi na siya makakatulog sa kin. ahahaha. *evil laugh*

sa wakas ay nakita ko naaaa....ang aking hinahanap... sa wakas ay nakuha ko naaaa...ang aking hinahangad... - sa wakas, eheads

i've been helping some peeps with the coding sa coe115. astig, sana ganto ako dati... hay, i never enjoyed 115 that sem because i was busy hating coe 121...hating it and slaving over it, how depressing and frustrating could that be? the answer to that would be my almost 10 lbs weight loss. freaky isn't it? so if you wanna lose weight, take coe 121 (dsp) and coe 115 (microprocessors and microcontrollers) at the same time. and if you're still not satisfied, isabay mo pa ang ece 113 (comms electronics) at 198(thesis). tiyak yan, papayat ka talaga. wag ka lang yung taong ngata nang ngata habang under stress kundi wala rin. wala rin epekto ang paghihirap mo.
