weee a free 10 minutes before i make my way to class XD
anyways, just a quickie.. =D
yesterday was fun.. bio lab and lec was great.. nung lab we did sterile technique, some microscope stuff ulit, etc etc.. nung lecture, i sat with caleb.. when the class was over (@ around mga 3), i wasn't gonna get picked up till 4.. originally, i would have just went to the library to hang out there.. but after class, as me and caleb were walking out and talking, out of the blue, he asked if i play ping pong XD .. so i said "well not really but ya know what.. my dad was a ping pong champ back in his days.. XD =D ..)" .. then he asked if ive been to the game room yet.. so i said, not YET XD .. then he said, "well ya have till about 4 right.. how bout i bring ya there.." or sumthng like that XD .. so we went ^^
we went there, it's a cool place.. there are 4 billiard tables (AMF's), 3 or 4 ping pong tables, a couple of game consoles (xbox 360, ps2, etc) for the hard-core gamers XD .. medyo pumapatok ngaun dun sa game room kc irerelease na ung Halo 3 =D .. so wen we got there, there was one free pool table.. so we played a couple of games ^^ (i totally suck already.. gotta get my game back XD ..)
so aun, that was fun ^^
aside that, my referrals in the MLP forum have soared over the past 2 days! XD .. from 75, it jumped to a whopping 115!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! XD

waaa! konti na lang!!! *o*
waaaaaaa! XD
ok lemme explain this agen in case ya didn't read my previous post entitled "favor plz" =D
there's this contest on MyLesPaul forums, a guitar forum i joined about a month or two ago.. it's a referral contest and the prize is a pair of pickups for an electric guitar (care of WB Pickups.. check out their site ;) .. http://wbpickups.com/)
in that previous post, "favor plz", i asked you guys to register to the forum with me as your referrer.. doing so gives me one referral..
right now, my refarrals are 75.. XD .. thanks for your support ^^ (sa mga gumawa nung favor =D ..) .. at about 50, i stopped trying already XD .. haha i was pretty sure i was gonna win.. and that still is the case.. BUT ^^
i got a message on the forum straight from the man of WB Pickups himself .. Will Boggs ^^ .. he gave me his number and told me to call him... i know it's kinda weird, but i thought about it and it didn't really seem like it's dangerous or anything like that... strangely, my intuition was to call.. so i did XD
wen i spoke to him (he sounds like a very nice guy by the way ^^ ..), in a nutshell, this is what he said..
he said that i was totally killing / dominating the referral contest.. so i said, yeah pretty amazing XD (amazing considering 75 referrals XD and the one below me has 14 XD ..) .. and then he asked what les paul i have.. so i said, "im pretty sure ive mentioned it already on the forum that i don't have any yet" .. i went on and said that i do plan to buy one when i get the money though which would probably be at the end of the year considering i was let go of my job 2 weeks ago.. i also said that come time in october when the winners of the contest was announced, i was gonna ask him if i could have the pickups held back till i get the guitar..
he then asked what i was planning to buy and i said it was the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top in Trans Blue..
here's where the awesome part comes in :>
he told me this.. "i tell ya what jason...IF YOU CAN GET YOUR REFERRALS TO 100, I'LL THROW IN THAT GUITAR YOU WANTED AS AN ADDITIONAL PRIZE TO THE PICKUPS.." =O
he jokingly said next, " i mean, if im gonna give ya the pickups.. you gotta have a guitar to go with it"
XD
which is totally true! XD
so eto nanaman!!!! super duper baet nanaman ni Lord! parang ang nangyari, cinancel nya ung last na nangyari (ung kay Fred [refer to 2 previous posts]) tpos He made this happen para ang mangyayari is na makukuha ku ung guitar NA GUSTO KO!! waaaaaa galing galing!!!!! ^^

whoops!~ jumped too soon XD
ok here's the deal.. XD
when i woke up this morning, i didn't feel so good about what happened yesterday.. something didn't seem right..
i talked to tita jinky and tito joel about it and they are both against it and they don't want me to give away our address..
long story short.. i ain't getting fred's offer XD
in a sense, it's too good to be true.. even though i felt that he was kinda sincere, and even though it really might have been for real, nonetheless, in the end, i'd still have to respect tita jinky's and tito joel's decision on it anyway.. and though his sincereness can be debatable, we'll never really know.. it's better not to know than to find out with the addition of something bad happening.. if your mind is broad, ya'll can imagine what i mean..
i ain't really affected by it cuz a day before yesterday, i was doing fine... everything was goin ok.. so theoretically, i should still be fine even though it ain't gonna happen anymore.. in other words, i can think of it as if it never really happened..=D
ever since the beginning of it all.. i knew it.. when i recieved that first email and he asked me about my gear, i already knew that he was gonna give me something.. i wasn't so surprised by the time i got the 4th or 5th message where he laid it down and told me he'd give me the amp n' guitar.. at the same time, i kinda had the feeling that this probably still won't happen XD .. ewan ku ba XD i just had this feeling from the start.. i guess i just got blinded by the excitement and the hope of it really being true.. not so much the exceitement about it really happening.. gets? XD .. i was blinded by the thought that it could be from God, when it, in reality, was most likely just a test from Him, seeing if i could say no to it.. i know this is really faith-ish nd all but it's a good thing not to be ashamed of it =D .. thing is this... when it was that 1st Burning Heart session (a night service that happens every month at church where it's all praise and worship), one theme of it hat night was surrender and about Him being #1 and above all.. at some point in the service, kelanie i believe, was led by the Holy Spirit to say that we should surrended anything that we might be considering above God.. and at that moment, what first came to my mind was my future guitar.. medyo what was happening kc was that my work was becoming motivated into making money for that guitar (which might be one reason why God took away the job form me).. so nyweiz, it's cuz of that that the first thing is thought of was to surrender the guitar (even though i didn't even have it yet) to the Lord so i could rethrone Him as #1 in my life.. that moment, the Lord spoke to Tita Jinky and Tita Jinky gave me confirmation that that was what the Lord wanted me to do.. so that's what i did..
so when this thing happened yesterday, i initially thought that this might be Go'd answer to that.. but then i realized when i thought about it a little harder, that i may have not surrendered it fully yet, and that this was another test from Him.. so now, that it ain't gonna happen anymore, im more at peace cuz i feel that i passed the test in the sense that i was so easily able to accept tita jinky's and tito joel's decision.. ya'll get what i mean? please don't think of me as wierd or anything ayt? XD
nyweiz, on the bright side, im still alive XD .. im still fine.. XD .. it's as if nothing's happened .. everything's going smoothly.. and everything is STILL in God's hands.. =) ;) .. im going to try to get a hold of fred agen and tell him about my decision.. in other words, i'll say, thanks anyway.. XD
off that topic, i was able to speak with Mr. Turner again today, and everything is pretty much planned and ironed out.. but it's still subject to change and it all depends on the decisions ill be making in the future, and the conviction God gives me toward the direction He wants me to go.. as goes in Kelanie's song 'Let Go Now', "I make my good plans; You [God] direct my stops. I will trust in You at all times. Your ways are higher than mine. I let go now." =D
aside from that, other upcoming stuf..
i have to read chapter 1 of my english textbook.. 80 pages long! XD (so don't go thinking it's THAT easy for me here.. XD) .. the 1st draft for essay #2 is due next week..
tuesday is my Biology exam..
friday is my Statistics exam..
and aside from that, i guess that's pretty much it.. XD
bye for now! ;)

Blessing from above! =) =) =)
Hey guys! CHECK THIS OUT! It blowed my brains out!! It'll probably blow yours too! haha XD
there's this guy on the forum i joined (My Les Paul forums), his username there is rockinlespaul.. his name is Fred..
let me cut it here though and go back a little bit..
there's this one thread in the forum that was started by our admin their, flickofflash is his username, but we all call him flick =D
he said.. "HolyGrail [another member in the forum] once said to me, "imagine if everyone did one thing nice for a complete stranger each day how it would change our world " then he said ......... wtf haha lol.."
i jokingly replied to the thread and said, "i'm trying to imagine if someone here would be nice enough to give me a birthday gift on oct. 25.. haha XD"
2 days later (today), i checked the forum and there was one thread there entitled 'Paging midnightdreamer' (that's me =D ..) .. it was a thread by rockinlespaul.. Fred.. he gave me his email and told me to email him.. so i did.. =D
the following is our exchange of emails and at the end is the exchange of messages we made in a ym chat (which we should have done in the first place XD ..)
Me: hey man!
what's up?
my name's Jason by the way
Fred: Hey Jason...whats happenin'...my name is Fred.
So...tell me about the gear you have. Trust me, I have
a reason for asking....its all good.
Me: uhmm..
well you might be disappointed with what im about to
say.. .. but im pretty sure ive mentioned it on the
forum though that.....................
i do not have an electric guitar yet
i had a real cheap strat replica made by suzuki when
i was back in the philippines.. unfortunately, when i flew here,
i couldn't bring it with me cuz it was too much for me to bring..
what i was able to bring was my Seagull acoustic and right
now that's all ihave.. i also have a Boss ME-50 effects processor
that my uncle gave for my birthday but i haven't really been
able to use it since my amplifier went screwy
shortly after i got the ME-50.. thus i haven't
really witnessed the ME-50's full potential. and since
i dont have a guitar right now, it's just beencollecting dust..
Fred: Yeah, I read the threads...
When is your birthday?
Me: October 25.. 1990 if ya wanna know the year
Fred: No, just the day.
How long have you been playing? Do you plan on playing
a long time? I mean...do you really enjoy playing?
Me: oops.. hehe ok yeah.. it's oct. 25
do i enjoy playing? heaven yeah!!!!!!!
playing guitar and music are strong passions of
mine.. in fact, if only music was a more stable
career, i would have taken up music in college and
gone that route / career path.. but since music
can't guarantee a very successful career, im not
going that route..
instead, im aiming to become a doctor (which is
another interest of mine) while keeping music as
something i will ALWAYS have by my side
when i reach retiring age, i'd like to open up a
guitar store with the money ive made being a
doctor..
ive been playing for about 4 or 5 years now since i
was 12.. .. i just finished learning this new song
by andy mckee called for my father.. it's a great
song and i dedicate it to my dad since it was his
borthday this past 16th of sept, but most especially
to the Lord cuz he's so awesome XD
so playing wise ive kinda been sticking to acoustic
songs / pieces since i dont have an electric guitar
to play with.. i cant wait to start getting serious
with electric guitar.. lead and all that stuff.. i
think ive gone pretty far in terms of my ability
with an acoustic guitar, but i know that with
electric guitar, i still have a lot to learn
Fred:
It sounds like you have a very good head on your
shoulders Jason. Very cool...
Do you have a amplifier?
Me: well i did have one when i was in the philippines..
again, it was cheap.. but i was happy with what i
had.. can't be happy about it when it became broken
though
i posted a thread in the squawk box forum (tube amp
for 500 please) cuz im kinda researching in advance
what's a good amp to buy.. i was hoping to make
enough money come time my birthday passes by so i
could treat myself thing is, at this rate, since i
lost my job last week, it'll probably be delayed
till the end of the year or early next year..
hopefully no later than that...
Fred: Can't have delays like that bro....
This is the deal...from time to time, I like to do
things for people who deserve them. It's been a while
and I'm due again.
I've been reading some of your threads and I wanted to
hear what you had to say about some things. I heard
what I was hoping to hear. You've been playing a while
so it's not a passing fade for you. You believe in
God...that's a biggie there. You have goals in life,
etc...
When October comes, you send me your address. I'm
sending you a decent electric and a amp. No cost ever,
just remember it and do something for someone down the
road who needs it. I don't ever want anything in
return.
I will make one request, and that is to say nothing
about it on the forum until your birthday. If you want
to after that, thats fine.
Me: SERIOUSLY FRED!?!?!?!?!?!?
IM SPEECHLESS!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!! IS
THERE ANYWAY I CAN THANK YOU??????? PLEASE THERE
MUST BE SOMEWAY! i will hold it back and keep it in
me till after my birthday passes but i will
CERTAINLY let the people know of your kindness if
that's alright with you... YOU ONLY DESERVE IT!!
EVEN MORE THAN THAT!
GOSH!
DANG..!
THANK YOU FRED!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
i cant thank you enough!!! this is really big for
me fred.. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS!
please let me know if there is ANY WAY i can
possibly repay you..
thanks fred!!!
Fred: No, no thanks for me bro, lol. Just do like I
said...Pay it Forward...
Me: CERTAINLY!!!
thanks again fred!
Fred: Your
very welcome Jason...
Me: awesome fred! totally over the top sweet and wicked sick!
Fred: You ever see that movie Pay it Forward? Cool flick. If
you haven't, you should.
Me: hehe yeah ive seen it.. it was a nice movie.. haley
joel osment and kevin spacey.. twas such an awesome
idea that that kid made up.. the whole world would
be a better place if everybody did it..
Fred: Its one of my favorites. what kind of music do you like?
Me: rock most essentially.. ALL types.. the kind of rock
that caters to my youth .. christian rock, emo
rock, punk rock, hard rock, metal, grunge, etc.. as
well as the rock of era before me which is really
truly timeless i believe .. the likes of ledzep,
acdc, aerosmith, metallica, and the likes.. as well
as from the 90's (influence from my dad ) .. bands
like pearl jam, stone temple pilots, etc..
i also LOVE blues, jazz, alternative stuff, --
less louder genres.. i really appreciate the mellow
side of music as well.. it's really hard to explain
my taste, but i'd like to describe it as a fusion of
all kinds of music.. something like that..
Fred: Great taste in music bro....same here pretty much.
Tell me, what kind of guitars
have you played that you liked? I'm looking for one
now. It will be a decent axe. I can't do a Gibson Les
Paul or anything, but it won't be junk either, lol.

TRUE STORY people.. God is SO SUPER-DI-DUPER-OVER-THE-TOP-UNDER-THE -BOTTOM-GOODER-THAN-GOOD-BETTER-THAN-BEST AWESOME, isn't He?
XD
=)
there's this guy on the forum i joined (My Les Paul forums), his username there is rockinlespaul.. his name is Fred..
let me cut it here though and go back a little bit..
there's this one thread in the forum that was started by our admin their, flickofflash is his username, but we all call him flick =D
he said.. "HolyGrail [another member in the forum] once said to me, "imagine if everyone did one thing nice for a complete stranger each day how it would change our world " then he said ......... wtf haha lol.."
i jokingly replied to the thread and said, "i'm trying to imagine if someone here would be nice enough to give me a birthday gift on oct. 25.. haha XD"
2 days later (today), i checked the forum and there was one thread there entitled 'Paging midnightdreamer' (that's me =D ..) .. it was a thread by rockinlespaul.. Fred.. he gave me his email and told me to email him.. so i did.. =D
the following is our exchange of emails and at the end is the exchange of messages we made in a ym chat (which we should have done in the first place XD ..)
Me: hey man!
what's up?
my name's Jason by the way
Fred: Hey Jason...whats happenin'...my name is Fred.
So...tell me about the gear you have. Trust me, I have
a reason for asking....its all good.
Me: uhmm..
well you might be disappointed with what im about to
say.. .. but im pretty sure ive mentioned it on the
forum though that.....................
i do not have an electric guitar yet
i had a real cheap strat replica made by suzuki when
i was back in the philippines.. unfortunately, when i flew here,
i couldn't bring it with me cuz it was too much for me to bring..
what i was able to bring was my Seagull acoustic and right
now that's all ihave.. i also have a Boss ME-50 effects processor
that my uncle gave for my birthday but i haven't really been
able to use it since my amplifier went screwy
shortly after i got the ME-50.. thus i haven't
really witnessed the ME-50's full potential. and since
i dont have a guitar right now, it's just beencollecting dust..
Fred: Yeah, I read the threads...
When is your birthday?
Me: October 25.. 1990 if ya wanna know the year
Fred: No, just the day.
How long have you been playing? Do you plan on playing
a long time? I mean...do you really enjoy playing?
Me: oops.. hehe ok yeah.. it's oct. 25
do i enjoy playing? heaven yeah!!!!!!!
playing guitar and music are strong passions of
mine.. in fact, if only music was a more stable
career, i would have taken up music in college and
gone that route / career path.. but since music
can't guarantee a very successful career, im not
going that route..
instead, im aiming to become a doctor (which is
another interest of mine) while keeping music as
something i will ALWAYS have by my side
when i reach retiring age, i'd like to open up a
guitar store with the money ive made being a
doctor..
ive been playing for about 4 or 5 years now since i
was 12.. .. i just finished learning this new song
by andy mckee called for my father.. it's a great
song and i dedicate it to my dad since it was his
borthday this past 16th of sept, but most especially
to the Lord cuz he's so awesome XD
so playing wise ive kinda been sticking to acoustic
songs / pieces since i dont have an electric guitar
to play with.. i cant wait to start getting serious
with electric guitar.. lead and all that stuff.. i
think ive gone pretty far in terms of my ability
with an acoustic guitar, but i know that with
electric guitar, i still have a lot to learn
Fred:
It sounds like you have a very good head on your
shoulders Jason. Very cool...
Do you have a amplifier?
Me: well i did have one when i was in the philippines..
again, it was cheap.. but i was happy with what i
had.. can't be happy about it when it became broken
though
i posted a thread in the squawk box forum (tube amp
for 500 please) cuz im kinda researching in advance
what's a good amp to buy.. i was hoping to make
enough money come time my birthday passes by so i
could treat myself thing is, at this rate, since i
lost my job last week, it'll probably be delayed
till the end of the year or early next year..
hopefully no later than that...
Fred: Can't have delays like that bro....
This is the deal...from time to time, I like to do
things for people who deserve them. It's been a while
and I'm due again.
I've been reading some of your threads and I wanted to
hear what you had to say about some things. I heard
what I was hoping to hear. You've been playing a while
so it's not a passing fade for you. You believe in
God...that's a biggie there. You have goals in life,
etc...
When October comes, you send me your address. I'm
sending you a decent electric and a amp. No cost ever,
just remember it and do something for someone down the
road who needs it. I don't ever want anything in
return.
I will make one request, and that is to say nothing
about it on the forum until your birthday. If you want
to after that, thats fine.
Me: SERIOUSLY FRED!?!?!?!?!?!?
IM SPEECHLESS!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!! IS
THERE ANYWAY I CAN THANK YOU??????? PLEASE THERE
MUST BE SOMEWAY! i will hold it back and keep it in
me till after my birthday passes but i will
CERTAINLY let the people know of your kindness if
that's alright with you... YOU ONLY DESERVE IT!!
EVEN MORE THAN THAT!
GOSH!
DANG..!
THANK YOU FRED!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
i cant thank you enough!!! this is really big for
me fred.. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS!
please let me know if there is ANY WAY i can
possibly repay you..
thanks fred!!!
Fred: No, no thanks for me bro, lol. Just do like I
said...Pay it Forward...
Me: CERTAINLY!!!
thanks again fred!
Fred: Your
very welcome Jason...
Me: awesome fred! totally over the top sweet and wicked sick!
Fred: You ever see that movie Pay it Forward? Cool flick. If
you haven't, you should.
Me: hehe yeah ive seen it.. it was a nice movie.. haley
joel osment and kevin spacey.. twas such an awesome
idea that that kid made up.. the whole world would
be a better place if everybody did it..
Fred: Its one of my favorites. what kind of music do you like?
Me: rock most essentially.. ALL types.. the kind of rock
that caters to my youth .. christian rock, emo
rock, punk rock, hard rock, metal, grunge, etc.. as
well as the rock of era before me which is really
truly timeless i believe .. the likes of ledzep,
acdc, aerosmith, metallica, and the likes.. as well
as from the 90's (influence from my dad ) .. bands
like pearl jam, stone temple pilots, etc..
i also LOVE blues, jazz, alternative stuff, --
less louder genres.. i really appreciate the mellow
side of music as well.. it's really hard to explain
my taste, but i'd like to describe it as a fusion of
all kinds of music.. something like that..
Fred: Great taste in music bro....same here pretty much.
Tell me, what kind of guitars
have you played that you liked? I'm looking for one
now. It will be a decent axe. I can't do a Gibson Les
Paul or anything, but it won't be junk either, lol.
the emails were getting hard so we just decided to chat on ym.. XD (we should hav realized that much earlier shouldn't we? XD)

XD
=)
denied.. x_X
ok here we go.. XD
bio lab class and bio lec class today was good ^^ .. esp. the lab class we did a group thing (i was grouped with Megan (a diff. Megan from work and from the Megan from my ENC class.. haha dami Megan amp XD .. , Justin, and Caleb).. i got to hang out with Caleb a lot today cuz we had to do work for the lab activity we had after class.. so me, him, and Justin (Megan couldn't go anymore) went to the Library and finished work there.. i also had lunch with Caleb, and spoke to him after the lecture class.. (caleb and bobby [from eng class] are probably the 2 closest friends {if ever close XD ..} that i have now).. hehe i know it doesn't sound like much but for me it's a wee. XD
ok here's the bummer of the day.. before the bummer XD, i went to an academic advisor to discuss my courses for the next semesters (for this, i'll make another post on it.. maybe tomorrow.. magulo pa e.. im trying to fix it out and im going to see Mr. Turner [the advisor i spoke with today] again tomorrow just to iron things out.. ill keep you guys posted.. ;) ..)
after that, i went down to one stop ask some other things that Mr. Turner couldn't help me out with.. 1st of all, ung Merit Scholarships (note this mom and dad), i cannot apply for any more.. if ya remember, this is the scholarship that required an essay on november.. but it turns out this is for INCOMING freshman.. e freshman na aq e.. XD .. so yeah.. too late for that..
i can apply for scholarships though in the future when ive declared a major already cuz once ive declared a major, i can apply for scholarships at the college where that major is concentrated (e.g. Biology Major = Dept. of Biology = College of Health = i can apply for scholarships that the CoH give out..) (mom, dad, check out this page http://www.unf.edu/finaid/scholarships/ .. the merit scholarhips page that tita norie saw is under the link Freshman.. i cant get that anymore but i CAN get the ones from the link below it Undergraduate.. check it out)
but wait!~ that's not tTHE bummer yet XD though it is A bummer XD
i called Lois Scott from the Dept. of Music about that job i got an email for the other day.. i got to talk to her at noon, right before i was going to talk to an Academic Adviser, and we scheduled an interview at 3:15 this afternoon.. she required that i bring a printed form of the letter of approval for college work study.. in other words, the amount that i can work for granted to me by the college work study program (CWSP).. i didnt quite know what this was when i talked to her so i said ill go to one stop and ask them about it there..
when i got to one stop, they told me that i wasn't approved any amount for college work study.. x_X .. in other words, i can't get the job XD .. akala ku kc, i can apply for the job as long as im ELIGIBLE for the CWSP.. un pala i had to be GRANTED the approval already, including the amount that i could work for, not just eligible..
in short, kung wala kayong nagets sa lahat ng sinabi kong un,
bye bye job.. XD
im now on standby again.. hoping ill get another call soon..
that's all for now.. my brain hurts.. im hungry.. ill catch ya guys later..
see ya

weeeee ^-^
some updates since the last post =D
so as you guys know, i lost my job XD .. so ive made a couple of applications in the past few days, ADDITIONAL to the ones that i already made before.. ive applied to all the jobs i can apply to, and right now im just on standby.. that other job that i got a call from 2 weeks ago still hasn't called me back since i followed it up last week..
BUT.. =>
i just checked my email and i already got a reply from the music dept. (which was one of the jobs i applied for this week) .. hehe so that's gud news #1 ^^ .. it's just a minimum wage job pero that's fine ^^ .. the job description says..
" Assist office secretary with answering incoming calls and routing accordingly, filing paperwork, light typing, running errands and other duties as assigned."
i'm going to consult cla tita jinky and ask if i should go ahead and pursue this job OR just wait for more callbacks.. i'll keep ya guys posted on the developments in the later days ;)
good news #2 .. i aced my psych exam!!!! yay!!!! XD .. weeee saya2 ^^ thank u Lord ^^
it was a 50 item, multiple choice test.. there was 2 forms of the test, test form A and test form C.. i got a C test form.. in my psych class today, the scantron sheets (test answer sheets) were given back to us today so we can check it.. we were all in suspense waiting for our name to be called, only to see no markings on the scantron except a green check (which meant that it was already scanned by a computer) .. when all the sheets were passed out, he gave us the correct answers to the questions so we could check it.. i counted 47 correct answers.. 3 mistakes.. already i was happy ^^
but he went on to say that there's 2 bonus questions for each test form.. for test C, it was #4 and #50 .. well what do ya know! those were two of the three mistakes i made! XD .. so my score jumped from 47 to 49.. what a joy =)
but THEN, he still goes on to explain that the base for curving the scores was 49.. ONLY 1 PERSON IN THE WHOLE CLASS GOT A PERFECT 50.. guess who it was? the guy i always sit next to.. my psych class filipino friend Mel! .. he got a perfect 50! (yeah! rock! wee! go pinoy power! haha XD ..) his scores percentage was 102, 2 points higher than the highest which is 100 XD .. aside from me there were 2 other people who got 49, and since 3 people is more than 1, 49 was made the base score, not Mel's 50 (hayup kc un e haha XD ..)
in other words, i got a 49/49 which is 100! yay!!!!!!!! XD .. (and Mel got a 50/49 XD .. @_@ over the top amp XD ..)
for the rest of the semester there's gonna be 4 more exams like this.. a total of 5.. if i take all 5 exams, i do not have to take the final.. the final becomes optional.. (so obviously, ill try my best to take all 5 para di ku na kelangan mag final exam where studying for it is most difficult thus the chance that i make a mistake is higher) ..
hopefully, i'll be able to keep my future exam scores above 90, or even more hopefully, above 95, tpos i can do extra credit work to give me +3 to the final grade and hopefully, it'll add up in the end to 100.. sana.. hihi =D
hmm.. anu pa ba.. :-/
ive been working on a new song lately sa guitar.. it's called For My Father by Andy Mckee.. check it out on youtube if ya want.. ^^ .. maybe when i have the time, i'll take a vid of myself playing it.. :>
nyweiz, i guess that's all for now.. take care ya'll ^^
god bless =)
so as you guys know, i lost my job XD .. so ive made a couple of applications in the past few days, ADDITIONAL to the ones that i already made before.. ive applied to all the jobs i can apply to, and right now im just on standby.. that other job that i got a call from 2 weeks ago still hasn't called me back since i followed it up last week..
BUT.. =>
i just checked my email and i already got a reply from the music dept. (which was one of the jobs i applied for this week) .. hehe so that's gud news #1 ^^ .. it's just a minimum wage job pero that's fine ^^ .. the job description says..
" Assist office secretary with answering incoming calls and routing accordingly, filing paperwork, light typing, running errands and other duties as assigned."
i'm going to consult cla tita jinky and ask if i should go ahead and pursue this job OR just wait for more callbacks.. i'll keep ya guys posted on the developments in the later days ;)
good news #2 .. i aced my psych exam!!!! yay!!!! XD .. weeee saya2 ^^ thank u Lord ^^
it was a 50 item, multiple choice test.. there was 2 forms of the test, test form A and test form C.. i got a C test form.. in my psych class today, the scantron sheets (test answer sheets) were given back to us today so we can check it.. we were all in suspense waiting for our name to be called, only to see no markings on the scantron except a green check (which meant that it was already scanned by a computer) .. when all the sheets were passed out, he gave us the correct answers to the questions so we could check it.. i counted 47 correct answers.. 3 mistakes.. already i was happy ^^
but he went on to say that there's 2 bonus questions for each test form.. for test C, it was #4 and #50 .. well what do ya know! those were two of the three mistakes i made! XD .. so my score jumped from 47 to 49.. what a joy =)
but THEN, he still goes on to explain that the base for curving the scores was 49.. ONLY 1 PERSON IN THE WHOLE CLASS GOT A PERFECT 50.. guess who it was? the guy i always sit next to.. my psych class filipino friend Mel! .. he got a perfect 50! (yeah! rock! wee! go pinoy power! haha XD ..) his scores percentage was 102, 2 points higher than the highest which is 100 XD .. aside from me there were 2 other people who got 49, and since 3 people is more than 1, 49 was made the base score, not Mel's 50 (hayup kc un e haha XD ..)
in other words, i got a 49/49 which is 100! yay!!!!!!!! XD .. (and Mel got a 50/49 XD .. @_@ over the top amp XD ..)

relieved of my services =[
ok before i start lemme say..
HAPPY BIRTDHAY DAD! =)
he turns *tooooooot* years old today.. XD .. secret na un XD
nyweiz ,game time.. hahaha XD
time to look for another job XD
ok lemme clear it out a bit.. they didn't actually "fire" me.. it's just that they're cutting down hours like hell and it just so happened to be that they didn't give me any of what was left XD
ndi aku maxado nagulat kc napansin ku pa-isa-isang nawala mga iba kong ka-work.. when i'd see them around campus, i'd ask, "hey ____, i haven't seen ya at work recently.." .. and they'd say that they got let go lrdy.. =|
this is the thing.. i can tell the bookstore peeps that they can call me when they need help again.. i wouldn't need to apply again or anything like that; they'd just give me a call and ill work for em.. kaso that's most likely gonna be around the next semester already cuz the bookstore starts getting busy again around that time.. (kumbaga the nearer it is to the start/end of a sem, the busier the bookstore is.. i don't wanna be idle / without work for that long, so ima look for a new job lrdy..
today made me realize how unstable the job was.. the hours aren't constant.. the busyness is seasonal.. it all leads up to the realization that it's time to get another job.. =D
i really liked the perks though.. it was located centrally on campus such it's near to all the buildings where i have classes.. i got a discount on my textbooks.. i had a locker, a fridge, and a microwave to use.. and the people were nice.. it was a way for me to meet people, etc..
what was a bumemr about the job though that the labor didn't feel so minimum wage worthy.. it felt at sometimes that we deserved better pay.. pero i guess minimum wage pa rin cuz of perks like the discounts, etc..
so yeah, in a way it's a bummer.. =| .. pero it's fine i guess.. maybe there's a better job out there waiting for me =D
i'm re-checking the online applications that ive made over the summer for other jobs on campus.. i got 2 callbacks in the past couple of weeks pero tinanggian ku ung isa (cuz i didn't know that the job at the bookstore was gonna become like this =D ..) tpos ung isa, which i got a call from last week, tinawagan ku na today..
for sure, my next job HAS to be on campus.. maxado mahirap kung susunduin pa aku from skul tpos ihahatid sa work tpos susunduin pa uli.. for this first year, until i get to drive, i really need my job to be on-campus para mas madali not just for me but for tita jinky and tito joel as well..
im hoping that watever that next job will be, sana mas mataas sweldo XD (tipong $7/hour which is better that $6.67/hour.. =D .. sana hihi XD ..) or at least less tiring, while still retaining that schedule flexibility that the bookstore job had.. i also hope na i would be provided a fridge and microwave to use.. (which is really important cuz de-baon aku araw2 .. i never buy my food @ skul.. )
i pray that God will give me His favor again for the next job and i hope i get it soon.. =)
pray that i do get it soon and that it'll be the one God wants for me =D
that's all for now.. take care ya'll! =)
cheerio! ^^

one after the other O_O
screw up after screw up after screw up... XD sigh
my classes today were fine.. everything else sucked =)) haha XD
first of all, i forgot my fone sa bahay.. SUPER IMPORTANTE.. my fone is my way of contacting tita jinky and tito joel para masundo ako.. it is also my watch, thus im not aware of time without it cuz there are hardly any clocks around campus and in the library (wierdly).. =|
so at the end of my last class, my problem was contacting tita jinky/tito joel para masundo aq.. i went to the bookstore to use a fone there..
thing was, i forgot their numbers @_@ .. XD .. i remembered the last four of each of their numbers (which is 0440 for tito joel's no. tpos 4004 for tita jinky's no.) .. the first three numbers turned out to be 993 for both of their nimbers but i found that out the hard way.. XD
for some reason what was atop my head was 961.. i tried 961, 951, 931, 963.. mali lahat XD .. so pnta aq sa pinakamalapit na pc na magamit ku which was at the student service center across the bookstore.. i emailed tita jinky for her to reply to me her number or tito joel's para matawagan ku cla..
so after sending the email, naglakad n lng aq papuntang lot 7, not knowing if tito joel was gna be there or not.. of course this wouldn't be so much of a story if he was there, would it? XD .. malamang la xa dun.. XD .. balik aq dun sa student service center para magamit ulit ung pc to check if nagreply c tita jinky.. with how the story's going so far im pretty sure you knw wat happened.. wlang reply malamang XD .. i was later to find out that she was at a meeting.. i went to one of the people dun sa center to ask if i could use one of their fones para mas malapit and para ndi ku pa kelangan bumalik sa bookstore para gamitin fone nila dun.. i was pointed to a fone outside..... nearer the bookstore.. (wara wala rin XD ..)
i try calling agen.. tried different numbers.. all wrong XD
so balik aq sa pc to once again check the email... wla pa ring reply.. @_@
at this point, i feel all odds are against me.. but THANKFULLY, and FINALLY, i think of checking the professional references document i submitted for some job applications online.. sure enuf, tita jinky's number was there.. =D (first sign of light XD ..)
i call the number, nobody picks up.. i try calling 993-0440 which would be tito joel's number.. la din sumagot.. i call tita jinky's number agen and finally she picks up! =D .. but she's in a meeting (wenk wenk wenk..) and she tells me to call tito joel agen.. i try calling tito joel's number a couple of times and finally he picks up.. from the other line, it seemed like something was going on and that he was really busy.. at the end of that SUPER QUICK conversation, i hear, "i can pick you up in 15 minutes.." then we say bye..
feeling that all my problems are over, i go to lot 7, sit at the bench where i ALWAYS sit, and wait... i decide to read while i wait para medyo mapabilis ung oras.. 15 minutes pass (or at least i felt like it was 15 mins.. [rmmber wla aq relo XD ..]) and wala pa rin xa.. i just keep reading and i then realize that probably 30 mins has already passed.. i tell myself, "ok i'll just keep on reading my book and stay patient.." .. i keep reading..
of all days and of all times, ngaun pa aq nagutom amp.. XD .. so i think of buying a snack.. but guess what! i forgot my wallet too XD whahaha.. @_@ .. thankfully i had gum.. the gum saved me XD .. and though it was just gum, the sugar was enuf to at least stop the tummy-grumbling.. XD
i finish one module of my book and probably an hour passes by.. wala pa rin.. i go back to the fone to call tito joel.. i then find out that he said, "CALL me in 15 minutes.." .. warara XD
he then tells me na c tita jinky na ma magsusundo sakin.. i call tita jinky and tell her to pick me up.. she says she'll pick me up in an hour.. at least ngaun medyo mas pleasant ung paghintay ku kc nsa library aq naghintay.. aircon wee.. XD .. i decide to use the computer.. after i sat down and got a pc lrdy, i then decide to get a headset downstairs to listen to some music to soothe my senses.. so i log off from the computer and go downstairs.. half-way there i realize i need my i.d. to borrow a headset.. guess where it is! :> .. in my wallet which i forgot.. XD .. so i go back upstairs and get another computer..
after the hour, tita jinky picks me up..
i thought the chain of unfortunate events was over, but how could i forget!!!? it lacked a cherry on top.. XD .. tita jinky tells me that i left the iron (plantsa) on overnyt.. haaaay.. i coulda sworn i unplugged it.. SUPER TALAGA.. i remember it clearly.. yet supposedly i left it.. sigh.. XD
and so, that was my day.. XD .. highlight of the week.. XD
for the rest of the week (i hope nothing happens later in the week that can beat what happened today XD ..), tomorrow wala aq work.. my last class ends at 2.. i hope to get home early so i can do my chores and do more reading..
Exam 1 for my PSY class is on monday.. (that's why ive been reading so much lately =D ..) .. i hope monday won't be like it was today XD
anyway, i guess that's pretty much it.. till next tym ya'll ;)

tastes icky *o*
aryt, first of all, thanks everybody for your support in helping me out with that referral contest =D .. im currently in the lead! yay! ^^ .. but the contest goes on till october 20 so ive gotta keep it up.. but nonetheless thanks for the support =D (if you have no idea wat im talking about XD check the previous post ^^ ..)
lemme just post the link agen =D
http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=751
ok nuff said.. XD .. moving on to the updates.. XD
basically the past couple of days have been pretty good ^^ .. work has been A LOT LESS TIRING lately which is good ^^ .. in fact we've become that much less busy that my schedule for the next few weeks has changed agen.. ill tell you about that in just a second.. ;)
ryt now i wanna tell you about what happened nung thursday.. XD .. no biggie really, but i just thought i'd focus on this story cuz i couldnt think of any other title for the post more interesting that this XD
nung thursday, at work, tim, one of my co-workers, bought some of this new candy that we got that day to sell at the store.. it was a pack of jellybeans.. just seemed like any other jelly beans that you may have seen but these were a bit different.. sure there was the regular flavor like cherry, lemon, blueberry, etc etc.. but what was special about this pack of jelly beans was the extremely wierd flavor that also came with it.. XD
some of which were dirt, rotten egg, earthworm, black pepper, soap, vomit, ear wax.. etc . hahaha XD .. edi xmpre pinagkaguluhan sa back room XD .. it was real funny to see the reactions on other people's faces when they tried the wierd flavors XD .. i tried the dirt, then sabi ko, "hmm.. since i had dirt.. why don't i have earthworm as well XD .." so aun, i had earthworm too XD .. and man! they really did taste like dirt and earthworm! XD .. i wonder how they did it XD ..
the last one i had was vomit.. mr. keith had one before me peor ndi nya na-take.. he spat it out XD .. so i tried it.. XD .. i popped it in my mouth, and at the moment i chewed it, the flavor burst in my mouth XD .. lasang suka talaga haha XD .. after chewing it a couple of times (man i mustve looked funny XD ..) i forced it down and swallowed it.. XD
hehe.. so i gues that was the highlight of that day.. work was going real slow pa naman before that happened.. hehehe XD ..
nyweiz, the end on that XD ..
i have an essay due tomorrow.. i finished it last nyt.. it's for my ENC class.. it's a 1000-word essay tpos the topic was, "Would you say yes to $8M but you have to leave America for good..?" .. i gotta read it agen.. i don't remember very well how happy i was with what i wrote last night cuz it took me 3 hours to write it XD .. i rmmber thought that i was just really happy wen i finished it haha XD .. today, im just gonna do more reading on my stat, psych, and bio books.. =>
about my schedule, im only work 10 hours next week.. XD .. tuesday's shift and then saturday's shift.. XD .. im gna try to ask ms. darla though if i can have friday's shift as well para 15 hours aq per week and para naman maging matino paycheck ku XD .. (i got my paycheck by the way nung wednesday! weeeeeeee XD .. it was REALLY FAT.. fatter than last time XD .. =D ..)
the reason for this cutting down of hours is that supposedly this would get some of the other temps to quit (although a lot of them were already let go..) .. this is because the bookstore doesn't need as much help anymore since tapos na ung rush (i also got my reimbursement discount this week =D .. i dunno if i spelled reimbursement right XD ..)
thus ang mangyayari, ma-cucut down ung hours ng mga tao for the next few weeks.. and the the hours of those who're gna quite will get added to the employees who're staying.. thus eventually, it'll pick up din.. my hours will go back to 26 din eventually ;)
so aun.. that's all ^^
i hope ya'll are doing aryt =)
keep keepin in touch and takin' care always! ^^

awesome! d=
yay! =) .. church was awesome today ^^ .. actually, it was really awesome too last week wen perry stone was the guest speaker.. nice tlga ^^
nyweiz, today after morning service, tito joel brought me to the guitar center! yay! thanks tito joel! =)
i bought my guitar new strings.. D'Adarrio EJ 17's to be specific ^^ .. put em on myself today.. ^^ they're pretty good so far ^^ .. also, i bought a dunlop care kit which had all thes polishes, waxes, oils, polish cloths etc.. =D .. 1 guitar polish / cleaner, 1 guitar body wax, 1 fretboard cleaner polish, 1 fretboard deep conditioning oil, and 1 string lubricant.. it also came with a micro something fret cleaner thingy and 2 polish cloths ^^ .. so when i changed the strnigs today, i gave it my guitar the works! i cleaned and oiled the fretboard, polished and waxed the body, etc etc.. it's very much restored ^^ .. about ung action problem, wala ung in-house guitar tech e.. so i wasnt really able to have it looked at.. pero i was still able to talk someone about it.. sabi nya it doesn't look like a major problem.. probably just the truss rod or at most, the nut or maybe the saddle.. if i have it serviced in the future, it'll be mga 40 bucks depending on the seriousness of the problem.. pero @ 40 bucks it ain't so bad ^^
also today at the guitar center, i got to try out the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top.. and they had it in Trans Blue too! .. im convicted.. it is definitely the guitar im buying.. =D .. tito joel said if i can somehow manage a 4.0 GPA (woah! XD ..) he'll contribute to half of it (which will be $250! the guitar is 500 bucks) =D .. hehe ^^ ill try my best.. =D .. i really will =D
nyweiz that's pretty much it..
tomorrow is Labor Day Holiday which is a big holiday here.. therefore, la aq work, la aq pasok ^^ .. i dont really know the history of labor day pero i see it as "hey America! we work hard everyday and hardly get a break.. so here's a break!" or somehting like that XD
btw sorry havent been OL past few days.. friday kc i had to do the chores in the morning before skul.. saturday, work was at 9:45 so i had to start my day early agen so ndi ulit nka OL .. today nmn, church.. so aun.. ill go OL tmrw if tita jinky and tito joel dont plan to do anything XD ..
also btw, Kelanie, the p&w leader sa church, released her new cd today! ^^ .. im listening to it now =D .. pag na-transfer ku na d2 sa pc at pag na convert ku na to mp3, ipopost ku sa multiply ku ^^ .. so if ya wanna get an idea of what we sing here sa church d2, ther ya go ^^ ;)
that's all ya'll..
till next tym ;)
