KILCHER MODE:pagoooooddd!!!
QUOTE OF THE DAY:pusanggalaaaaa! nasaan na akoooo?! (while trekking along sucat road trying to find that damn bpi main branch)



okay kalimutan yang maiksing post sa baba. oo isang malaking shet di ba? gabi bago mag-contest, may bumanggang isang kotse sa isang poste ng kuryente sa c.p. garcia, malapit sa math building. ang resulta? brownout ang mga lugar na malapit sa kinaganapan. kasama ang eee. okay fine, may generator pero oh my gulay, hanggang second floor lang at kami ay nasa fourth floor. ang mobot ay nasa rooftop. kaya ayun, nagsibababaan ang mga cpu sa ceeesl, isang lab sa second floor.

dumating ang ala-siyete ng umaga. siempre hindi namin napagana ang receive part ng application namin. isang malaking OH WELL. daanin sa marketing ang presentation. laking pasalamat ko lang na ako'y maysakit at ako'y tumatahol noon. haha. so clicker na naman ang role ko. aba dapat lang, parang andami ko atang nasabi nung halfway presentation namin.




pagkatapos mag-present kami ay kumain na (sa wakas, sobrang kinakain na ng large intestines ko ang small intestines ko haha). tas bumalik kami para magbigay ng moral support sa mga robot (oo, sa robot) ng mobot at ni hans (ng irc).

LEGGED (WHEEL-LESS) RACE: nanalo si KALADKARIN, ang mabagal na legged robot ni kaye at ni miko (actually, thesis ata ni ate peach yun, tinanggalan ng gulong at inayos ang movement ng arms). mabagal siya sobra pero eh race yung sinalihan eh di race. enter spiderman, ang 8-legged na laruan na kinalas at tinape-an ng protoboard haha. ang bilis pramis. eh poocha, walo ba naman yung paa ang bilis pa gumalaw, buti na lang lumalabas sa track hahaha. tas yung ROADRUNNER ni hans (bi-ped), nagseselfdestruct so wala, no contest, kahit gano man kakupad si kaladkarin, nanalo pa rin. hahaha.

ZIBOT (Intellibot) RACE: eto yung may mga obstacles. dapat iwasan. di ko alam kung ano ginawa nila sir loony at tin pero nanalo! (eh kasi naman yung robot ng mga taga-adamson sabi nang sabit hahaha) da best talaga UP sa last minute programming! astig!

CLASSIC: sorry na lang sa min, dinala ng PLM sa sheer number ang pagkapanalo (hehe bitter ako). 8 entries ba naman sa kanila. tas 2 lang sa UP Mobot. natanggal first round si raf tas well pagkatapos ata ng isa or dalawa pang round natanggal na rin si ferns so wala, wala na talaga.

OPEN DESIGN: rodrigo (grrr...) and some kids from slu shared 3rd place. WE GOT 2nd PLACE!!! wahoo! 1st si DELIVERY ROBOT ni gerson from mobot. sige, ano, sheer number lang ba usapan? hehehe out of 6 finalists, apat ata UP. =D

hahaha! yay! ang ganda-ganda ng sem ko! yay! pusa, wala pang application yun ha? ano ano ano? dinaan na lang talaga sa marketing. wala pang tulog-tulog yun. at wala pang breakfast-breakfast. Anak ng?!




so san na nga pala ako pupunta ngayon? ano na mangyayari sa kin? di pa rin ako makapagsend ng application sa canon kasi naman yang pesteng tcg na yan nov16 pa daw pwedeng kumuha. daaaaaarn...

ayaw. ayaw ko pa rin tumandaaaaa...

sorta kinda serious musings for a barely sane mind

KILCHER is LISTENING to: jop's 80's mp3s
KILCHER MODE: bangag




all planned out, at least i thought so


years ago, my life was all planned out. take high school in four years (aba siempre dapat lang), take up ece and try not to go over the limit of the mrr (7.5 years), prepare for the board exams for a semester, get a job for two years, and due to my mother's insistence, take up an mba course.

just weeks ago, during a ym chat with our overseas adviser, the super unbreakable plan for my life was rattled. he suggested that me (and jop and elai) should take up on an MS study (and siempre comms na naman). i was, and still am, intrigued. i tried to ask advice from people and most of them told me to go for it.

well, too late to go for it next semester. i missed the deadline for the application for the MS program in up eee. i haven't even realized it passed by. me and my groupmates were busy slaving over the *dreaded* 198 final defense and were also busy putting up with that big headache of a labmate trying to ruin everything for us.

i haven't even talked to my mom about. i barely even talk to her about what i'm gonna do with my life at all. i haven't even been home enough to talk to anyone in the family about it. i'm sure she's not gonna be happy with the MS, but it's getting kinda appealing to me. sidetrack: our adviser sorta kinda *caught* us using that invisible stealth settings the geniuses in yahoo developed in their latest yahoo messenger version. hehe. we had a mini-conference and he was selling out this idea again. he even gave me the topic to work on for the MS *thesis*, darn it. haller, i haven't even made up my mind and he's suggesting about TinyOS already. I don't know what that is yet but knowing me and my darn obsessive-compulsive mind sometimes, i'm bound to check that out. and what the heck, bakit sa kin sinabi yang TinyOS na yan? nang-aasar ba siya? haha. =D (elai and the rest of my cotsmates said the future thesis should be titled TinaOS).

oh well. i still have the rest of the second semester and the summer to think about this. it's kinda hard to make decisions pag di ka sanay. it's kinda hard to be out in the real world when all your life you've been coddled way long enough (i blame carabellebelles for spoiling me hehehe). so many things come up to mind when times come that i just stare into nowhere and had to think of meaningful things. graduation? job? board exam? masters? acting like an adult?

shet, i realize i just wanna be a kid after all.



just when i thought it was all over...


[1] there's still that Zilog Microcontroller-Aided Design Contest where doc m was enthusiastic about our chances. the prize is what keeps me and the rest of my groupmates going, i guess. sana magawa na naman yang lecheng hyperterm na yan.

[2] there's still that whatever seminar on november where engineers and professors from other countries (i.e. japan) will go to UP and we have to present our project all over again. que horror! i told elai that since she's the *celebrity* of the group, she'd be the spokesperson haha. marunong naman siya mag-jap no. pag di na niya masagot yung tanong, magtagalog na lang siya.

[3] we have a deadline on monday, oct. 18. akala kasi naman automatic na pag kasama ka sa projects na binigyan ng grant ng zilog, kasama ka na sa open design contest. ang tangers namin hehe. so yun, gagawa na naman kami ng paper for zilog due on monday. ayoko nang buksan yung docu namin, pusanggala. ayaw na nga ng pc gumana pag naka-open yun eh.


on the other hand...


after a very sad weekend (the storm dropped game 1 to connecticut and the admu lady eagles lost to adamson in the thriller game 3 of the uaap finals), things this week have been going my way.

[1] despite the fact that the storm won game 2 because of an unexplainable open-shot miss by connecticut's nykesha sales, they did us fans proud as they played their hearts out this morning (or night dun sa seattle) and captured the 2004 wnba championship trophy. birdy, lj, sheri, b-money mvp, kv, tully, jb, adia, simmy, chelle, michelle greco and trina frierson. coach anne donnovan, the first woman to win a pro championship, and her assistants jessie kenlaw and jenny boucek. hail seattle storm! i love this team! =D [note: buti nga sa LA. sac monarchs are my second favorite team na].

[2] despite the fact that adamson is once again the uaap champion in uaap women's basketball, there's still that nagging joy at the back of my head knowing that the admu lady eagles lost it. kasi pag nanalo sila, di naunahan pa nila lady maroons makakuha ng championships. the UP lady maroons have been second twice [nung nanood ako]. sana next year, the rookie-laden team will be buffed up and give that team from marcelino a run for heir money. pero siempre, gagalaw pa rin ateneo and oh gosh, pati la salle. . lady maroons pa rin though. school spirit na ito.


[3] lea [up erg vp for int] planned the sem-ender party! yay! ya gotta give props to that girl. astig mag-ayos. we're gonna go to EK on friday (i forgot na may ek pala nagset pa naman ako ng overnight session with my thesismates) and then go to jayrald's *hacienda* (haha!) in batangas. or di pala, sa isang beach whatever. overnight doon then uwi morning after breakfast. ON THE OTHER HAND, elai and i will barely enjoy that, kasi after we arrive from batangas on saturday, we're going straight home to GET STUFF for an OVERNIGHT WORK SESSION again! we're gonna spend saturday and sunday nights doing the zilog final docu and the hyperterm thing. MAJOR BUMMER!

[4] MAGGIE [a.k.a. ariel - vp for sports and leisure] already had a meeting with the rest of the SNL groupies kanina. too bad i had to burn copies of the 198 docu while they were discussing. magpapaka-snl groupie ulit ako come enggweek. badtrip talaga nung term ko as snl vp, walang tambayan ang erg, and ang layo pa ng EEE my gash. kaya ayun, kaming 3 ni joeyboy (exec.vp that time) and bonggaceous elai the celebrity (vp for externals that time) ang parating sumasali sa events. mvp na nga eh. sa sobrang walang mahanap na members hirap talaga. hopefully this year's campaign will turn out better results than last year's. tintin L did a very beautiful job last year (although we fell behind *that *&^#*@#* other org* in the EWOC standings) and we made an impact on almost all of the major events. last december we showed the rest of the college that we're not to be ignored and that UP ERG is a force to reckon with. VOLLEYBAGAN, the guys played it all out but dropped at the semis though. pero our MIXED TEAM bagged the CHAMPIONSHIP so keri lang. INDAKAN, we got SECOND PLACE ata...astig kasi sila elai, oj, edgy at jay and the rest of the DanzERGs. AWITAN, ayoko nang ulitin nakakabwiset lang. we should have won. 'nuff said. i'd like them (elai, mamjoy, joeyboi, gidz and the rest of them) go all out and wow the audience this december. SMOKER'S NIGHT, erg managed to cough up a *decent* enough presentation and managed not to be booed nang malala (i think masaya nga yung crowd dun sa ginawa nila). SHET ENGG WEEK!!! Gusto ko mang-enggweek! Gusto kong mabawi yung second-place finish namin ni edward sa mixed table tennis two years ago. shux! Gusto ko magbasketball kasi najan si meiling at si mm (at si beng na 5'11" kung mauuto ko siya hehe panakot lang or pangiliti kay nikki). gusto kong magLOTR at HARRY POTTER Quiz Show! waaah!

and it all comes down to this...


wala pa rin akong napagdecide-an except...

[1] i'm hell bent on enrolling for a jap course this second sem. screw UP's reg processes hehe. pero papano nga ba if i applied for graduation this first sem and gusto ko pang magtake ng units sa second sem? can i still get my transcript of records in time for the april board exams?

[3] i'm hell bent on enrolling for the pe3 in basketball. haller, a class with nikki and june? that's kinda like a dream class. *memories from high school flooding in* *must stop it, tina, that was kinda 5+ years ago* hehehe. pero seriously, nadun si nikki doiks at si juneeeeee sama mo na pati si mm (batch 2k3 sa quesci) plus malamang ang aking beloved yellowteammates adi, LA, rhea, oya, cayin, gladys etc will be there so MASAYA di baaaaa? and it would be fun pag si mam ivy yung teacher. she was my first college PE prof (table tennis). =D shet, isa pang ang tagal na nun ah, 5 years ago demmit. need to grow up, tina!

[4] i'm hell bent on getting the longest sleeping time i can get habang pwede pa.

[5] i have to check some homeworks for eee41 tonight and di pa ko nagsisimula kasi ginagawa ko pa to. sana may sweldo naaaaa!

[6] i'm gonna go to sarah's no matter what. walang makakapigil sa kin. hindi ako lalabas ng UP hangga't di pa ko nakakapag-sarah's.



with all of that said, tama na muna...magchecheck na muna ko hehe =D

SEATTLE STORM 2004 WNBA CHAMPIONS




post later, hafta take a bath na...




the game 3 of the 2004 WNBA Finals was all BETTY LENNOX, that 2001 (ata) Rookie of the Year who was ignored by almost all the other teams except Anne Donnovan's Seattle Storm.

B-Money lit up the floor with her monster 23 points. Seattle key players stepped it up as well. KV was hot during the first half, Simmy got her precious minutes and converted. Gotta love that Jamaican Hurricane. Sue recovered steadily from her lapses during game 1 and LJ, monster defense at work. and oh, how can anyone forget TULLY?! i love TULLY! man, i love this team! =D

B-Money. MVP. It's all about Betty Basketball after all. =D






Sue mugging Tully!

KILCHER MODE:OC...pinothoshop ang acknowledgements
QUOTE OF THE DAY:refer sa baba.



dahil sa kakagawa ko ng acknowledgements ngayon, naalala kong maghanap ng quotes from calvin and hobbes. astig kasi yang calvin and hobbes na yan eh, nakakaadik. tas madami kang matutunan sa kanya. salamat kay kuya marc noon at nabigyan ako ng complete soft copy nung mga strips haha. nothing beats the books though, kaya lang mahal. at sa siempre pirata ako, dun na lang ako sa softcopy ahaha.




here are some of bill watterson's (calvin and hobbes author) great quotes out of calvin and hobbes strips:

# People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.

# The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

# Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
(Calvin - "The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes")

# Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out of body experience.

# Leave it to a girl to take the fun out of sex discrimination.
(Calvin - "The Essential Calvin and Hobbes")

# Why should I have to WORK for everything?! It's like saying I don't deserve it!
(Calvin - "There's Treasure Everywhere")

# I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.
(Calvin - "The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes")

# To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.
(Calvin - "It's a Magical World")

# You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help.
(Calvin - It's a Magical World")

# If you do the job badly enough, sometimes you don't get asked to do it again.
(Calvin - "Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat")

# Reality continues to ruin my life.
(Calvin - "Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat")

# Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?
(Calvin - "Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons")

# You know how people are. They only recognize greatness when some authority confirms it.
(Calvin - "Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat")

# As far as I'm concerned, if something is so complicated that you can't explain it in 10 seconds, then it's probably not worth knowing anyway.
(Calvin - "The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes")

and my personal favorite hehehe:

# Childhood is short, maturity is forever.
(Calvin - "The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes")

Birdy broke her nose during the 2nd game against minny. poor sue... :(




Saw Nikki and Lowla earlier. Nikki and I went to the gym to watch June and MM together with the other green team girls play basketball. I was supposed to play, kasi sabi ko kay Nikki last night lalaro ako pero the eternal tamad in me sufficed. Ahaha.

Tapos nun, the three of us had to wait in DMST for a cab so we could go to SM. Grabehnah...Nadito na ko sa UP and dito na naman ako uuwi tas pupunta kaming SM, which is so close to my totoong home. What a tease.

So yun pero Nikki had to go find her Mother Goose so Lowla and I pigged out on Sbarro again. Wahoo! Grabe first time in my life nag-full Ziti ako. I was 2 noodles shy of cleaning up my plate though. Have to work on that next time.




Messed-up Body CLock

If you think sleeping past 12midnight is bad, take a look at me. I can't sleep earlier than 3am! Argh! And last night, I went up to 4am just staring at the stupid ceiling in the room. Tuesday I was up at about 9am because Erol and Elai were talking about potential trouble regarding thesis presentation and then we stayed up until we had to present.

I am shamed to admit that for the first time ever, I dozed off while doing the mock presentation. ahaha. Sobrang antok di na kinaya ng powers namin. Si Dyopel lang ata nakatulog ng 1 hour sa min.

Toots, Elai and I plunked down on the 3rd floor Quiet Zone because we were so banged up. Kaya kami nadun kasi dun pa sa CEL 2 nagpepresent si Dave at si Ryan. Antagal ng mga delibs. Natapos delibs for Ryan, we got in CEL2 and we went to CS Canteen (where else? para maiba naman!) to get lunch.

We came back to CEL 2 pero napuno lang ng chismis at inis ang tanghali namin. *chismis na yun, wag na dito hahahaha*. Basta. Nagkagulo daw sa CEL1. Yun. So tinry ko matulog sa CEL 2. Si Toots umuwi sa dorm. Si Dyop at Elai nakatulog agad, walang pakialam sa mga dumadaan sa hallway na tumitingin sa min na para kaming mga isda sa loob ng aquarium. Si Erol akala ko umuwi pero nadun sa may bandang sink, tago, plakda din. Dumating ang 4pm, ayaw ko na, uwi na ko. Ako na lang natitirang gising a!

I told myself I was still okay. Nilakad ko pa nga mula EEE hanggang FC/AS eh. Pero pusanggala, di na kaya ng powers ko. Solusyon? TAXI! 15 minutes later nasa bahay na ko, nakapikit pero hyper pa rin sa kakatelebabad.

Slept from 5pm to 4am. Nagising ako momentarily ng 4am, went down to see where my cel phone was. Pusa nasa tabi ko lang naman pala. Grr. So balik ako sa bed. Nagising ako 12 noon na. Grabehnatoh, ang habaaaaa nun ah!

1pm tumawag si Elai, telling me that we had a 198 meeting regarding the presentation results. I told her I couldn't come kasi I didn't know na may meeting and that taong-bahay ako and also, that teeny-weeny fact na TINATAMAD akong lumabas ng bahay. Hehe.

Tas 4pm ata or something, she called again, asking me if I had the CC1000 Plug and Play module na sira. I turned my backpack over, wala din. We have to find that though. And then she delivered the news, pusanggala! Uno daw kami sa 198! Astig! Astig! Astig!




I know things are pretty going well for me, seeing that we already passed 198, I'm about to graduate, I'm thinking about an MS education for next sem, LA is out of the playoffs and Seattle is in. What more could I ever want huh?

Well, seems like when things really go well for you, some things come to bite you back. Shet. Pakshet talaga. Isang malutong na PAKSHET! A basta. Yun na yun.
