BWI Christmas Dinner @ Shang
Ever since college, it's always been hard to organize dinners, night outs and most specially, out-of-town trips. So whenever we have the chance to get-together, complete or not, we still push through. HAHA!

still alive but i'm barely breathing
i've had a lot of time to study over the weekend yet for some reason i haven't finished studying for my exam tomorrow. i don't know. it just felt weird.
Math 180.1. Operations Research I.
Primal Simplex Method. Big M Method. Two-Phase Method. Duality. Etc.
some concepts are just so hard to grasp really. specially when the lectures go by so fast. and now i am having difficulties understanding my own handwriting! good luck to me.
i know, i can just say it's an elective. but i chose to take this elective. so i need to do my best on this one, just like every other subject.
just weird. i haven't been ranting about my stat subjects. i guess my stat subjects have been enjoyable for me. well that's for now. we'll see as the exams pile up.
after the exam tomorrow, which is at 9-11am, we'll just have lunch and proceed to the UP CHK gym for team stat's 1st game of the season. the perfect stress reliever.

my college barkada @ Red Box Trinoma
yesterday, my college friends and i met up for a karaoke/lunch at Red Box Trinoma, a place we picked up from some friends and from the net as well.
we reserved a room for 9 so we could avoid ending up waiting in line and thinking of other things to do. our room was room 33. a small but comfortable one. it had the videoke set, table for food and ofcourse, cozy seating area. the air conditioning was okay too.
we had buffet lunch and bottomless iced tea, although our glasses were only refilled whenever the person from redbox would remember. the food was great. there were fish, beef, pork and even pastaaaa. we could even have our food "refilled" but the service wasn't really that good.
the videoke was great. although they didn't have songs by paramore, i think we enjoyed it. well, by the looks of it, yeah we did. haha.
3 hours of that for 199 each? plus service charge. it was worth it. maybe having get-togethers like these once in a while would be great.
but not super worth it. 200++ is still a big sum of money considering our economy. and us being just your typical students.
tina, mikko, han, ba, mic, tonico, casey and gege
(missing in action - ian)
went around window shopping right after and then settled down at Seattle's Best Coffee. Talked talked and talked about a lot of things. nothing like some good 'ol chit chat with great friends.
8 hours together. haha. that meant expensive parking fees! haha.
kahit hindi na-kumpleto, definitely one of my better days this Christmas break! a post-Christmas get together as requested by yours truly.
gave me more reasons to appreciate what kind of friends God has blessed me with.
kahit pa sabihin ninyong this one was for me, alam ko lahat kayo nag-enjoy!

paid off
finally, the first semester of my third year in college has OFFICIALLY ended with my grades all encoded. it was definitely a long one for me personally. trying to balance a lot of things wasn't at all easy. i had to work my butt off in order to survive this semester. but hey, sometimes things just really pay off. God has His ways of affirming our actions in the end.
well, here are some of my thoughts/memories fr0m the semester that was.
1. taking 16 units was not necessarily easier than taking 18 or 19 units. with stat 131 in the mix, everything changes.
2. 7am classes = sleepy time. not because of the prof. but because of my body clock. couldn't really adjust it so that i could be more awake during my 7am class.
3. aircon = doom. in 2 of my 3 non-stat classes, the rooms were airconditioned. boy, those definitely made me sleepy too. therefore, in all of my non-stat subjects, you'd often see me yawning or pinching myself trying my best to stay awake.
4. 10am stat classes everyday. 131 and 135. good schedule :)
5. stat 131 classes were supposed to be from 10-12 during Wed/Fri. in reality, its 1045-12. :)
6. had a great time with the council. all of us were technically adjusting in the early part of the sem but got our groove activity after activity.
7. STAT IT UP, Stat Amazing Race, 5ignal No. 5! and many more... UPSSSC activities were just a joy to organize.
8. masyadong mabait as a chair. will work on it this semester.
9. nakakahiya, may 68% kaming PS sa stat 131. hehe. our group then were really busy. deadline was a few hours before STAT IT UP. good thing it was moved 2 days after. but still, we couldn't answer. it was too much for us. haha.
10. 3 hour breaks - TTh. 4 hour breaks - WF. ended up bumming at the tambayan and eating lunch with my breakmates casey, han, tina and mikko. nagsolo kasi si mic at gege. :P
11. because of those long breaks, we ended up eating in a long list of dining places in UP. LB, LKB, Cucina ni Mamangs, Treehouse, Tea Room, Mcdo, Jolibee, Flaming Wings, Chowking, Friuli and of course, STARBACK. hehe.
12. first time to spend a lot hours at the Stat Lib. most of the time it wasn't enough. ended up studying at the Mainlib. one time we left the Mainlib at 10 pm na! and before a final exam, i spent time at the Mainlib 6 hours before the exam. beat that. all these because of Stat 131.
13. went to school to meet up with friends for group study. wow. haha. ended up studying at a coffee shop in katips. all afternoon.
14. meetings with the council were sometimes sabaw. sometimes naman light. :)
15. champions of Stat Basketball = Juniors!!!
16. birthday ko = benta. puro banana. finally brought my friends over at my place. super enjoy. hehe. wala nga lang inuman na hinahanap nila. haha.
17. CWTS movie, benta din. haha
18. went to banapple around 5 times. :))
19. driver pa rin ako. freed up my 1-230 schedule so that i could fetch luis occasionally. hay.
20. RHP - > BWI - > BWITD. thanks to mikko. haha.
21. di na natuloy tagaytay trip ng BWITD. :(
22. all the stress paid off after my grades appeared. 1.375 GWA. good for U.S.
again, it was definitely a long semester. all the ups and oh so many downs really made this semester unforgettable. whew.
thank God. :) thank you friends (specially tina pards at naging masipag kayo this sem. sobrang nagrub off sa buong barkada) salamat sa council at you guys always give me a reason to be pro-active. thank you sir wendz and maam cherry, 2 consecutive sems ko na kayo profs at you gave me the grades that i deserve. thank you GE/Elective profs at lahat kayo very considerate. as if mababasa ninyo to.

kapag tinatamad ka nga naman...
we took the Stat 135 1st long exam this morning. in general, hindi naman siya ganoon kahirap. pero yung last item pamatay.
Using the inner product of (y - (x'y/x'x)x) to itself, prove the Cauchy Schwarz Inequality.
wow.
buti na lang i got a hold of a sample exam minutes before the exam, thanks to tina. dahil dyan, bati na tayo. hehe. ang haba kaya ng proof. buti na lang inintindi namin bago pumunta sa Eng'g.
anyways, i have another exam tomorrow. Lingg 1. hopefully it'll be like the first exam where i had to answer three essay questions! 47/50 :)
i've been home since 3PM and i haven't touched my notebook! haha. i've been bumming since 3PM. it's been a while din kasi since i had a monday almost to myself.
council meeting tomorrow! have to finalize the agenda! here we go! hehe. :)
