yesterday was tuesday, which is the day where i only have one class, my Biology Lecture class with Prof. Michael Lentz.. basically it was nice ^^ .. he seems to be a really nice professor.. ung tipong very patient and passionate about what he's doing.. ^^ .. i think it's gna be a great class ^^ ..umm i met Kristina and Dave.. they're nice naman ^^ .. la nmn maxado ginawa.. since 1st meeting namin un, just like the other classes, we discussed the syllabus, etc etc.. at the end though, we had a pretest thing.. which we used to call 'diagnostic tests' in high school.. (ah yes.. the good ol' days.. XD ..)
interlude... =D .. i meet a lot of people as i kinda said before.. lyk today i met Danielle at my stat class for example.. ^^ .. tpos other people ive met (some i have mentioned before, some i havent =D ..) Bobby, Kenneth, Mel, Amanda, Kristina, Dave, etc etc.. either from work or from one of my classes.. there's a lot.. i can name more.. but basically my point is that my social life is not as bad as you guys may think XD .. in fact it's actually pretty good, especially sa work =D .. i love workin with the people i work with.. ^^ .. i've kinda become part of their family in a way which is nice.. ^^ .. so agen.. back to the point.. my social life is doing fine ^^ .. it's just that the other day i just kinda spoke too soon (read the last 4-5 paragraphs of my last post =D ..) cuz i just really miss having a friend i can hang out with freely and go to anytym =D .. today kc i kinda realized how im doing fairly well compared to the other people i see who are on their own and just on the same road as i am.. today, wen i realized how i do not have any class where i don't have anyone to talk to, and wen i realized how awesome the people are at work, i realized how i shouldnt have ever complained about it.. it's going good now and i can only expect it to become better =D
nyweiz.. XD .. that was pretty much my day yesterday =D .. today, the sked was the same as nung monday.. sa english class ku, we had a writing assessment test where we were made to write an essay about the story that was written on the paper.. after dis, 1 hour break so i went to the library.. after this, i went to the bookstore and yay! free pizza XD .. after the break, it was my stat class which was ok naman.. un nga i met danielle and sat with her and bobby.. the only bummer was ung prof nga as i talked about before.. pero today i learned that it's not just her difficulty in speaking english that's a bummer, but even how she explains stuf.. i mean yeah na gets ku naman (buti na lng) pero un nga.. the way she discussed the lessons just wasn't so great.. =|
after the class, break ulit.. basically library lng.. tpos kain ulit.. XD .. i explored the 3rd and 4th floors of the library.. GRABE ANDAMING BOOKS... nakaka-lula.. parang feeling mu mawawala ka if u go thru the shelves.. andami kc XD

Mr. Chamblin's good ^^ .. actually lahat naman cla (mr. lentz, mr. chamblin, and mr. francis) is good except nga c dr. sen sa stat class ku =D .. the discussion was good and the lessons were ok pero un lng.. u really have to focus for you to get everything.. if your mind flies away even just for a while, medyo nkaka-wala.. so aun.. pero ok nmn ^^

my 1st day of skul.. ^-^
alrighty! XD .. let's start XD
i left the house at 10 am and stopped by at the Christian store (Life Way) where i bought 2 shirts.. 1 red one that says: "Born to Worhip The Rock" and then the verse Psalm 95:1 saying, "Let us make a joyful noise to The Rock of our salvation, tpos may guitar sa background.. ^^ .. jangasness XD .. and then 1 white one that says : "I am called" and then a smaller text listing: .. 'to be empowered, to fight, to praise, ..." etc, and then may abstract design na parang ung penshoppe-ish type just to give u an idea =D .. ^^ .. jangasness XD .. i also bought a rubber bracelet (parang baller) na may WWJD? (What Would Jesus Do?) na nakalagay ^^ .. jangasness ulit XD .. all this totalled $36 which is not bad for two shirts and a rubber bracelet ^^
after that, Tito Joel brought me to skul na..
so there i went.. XD
you may not realize it, but a whole new chapter in my life just started as soon as i stepped out of the car.. nkaka-wow kng icpn XD =D .. nuff said.. XD
i got there mga 10:30 with an ample amount of time to make it to my 1st class.. i made my way to the bookstore to drop off my lunch and check the shelf for my ENC class in case the books just got recieved last minute.. as i expected...... it wasn't there XD .. so after i left my lunch there, i went to Ms.Darla to ask here if i can get a locker =S
i was kinda worried kc i was told that you have to be a NON-TEMP employee to get a locker.. =S .. pero xmpre, because Ms. Darla is SOOOOOOOOOOOO nice to me (=D ..) pumayag xa.. at hindi lng un... she gave me HER locker!!! THANKS AGAIN MS. DARLA!!! ^^ .. she rocks!!! XD =D .. awesomeness! XD .. that makes me feel sooooo great btw cuz that kinda tells me that they intend to keep me there =) .. im not sure if ive explained this before but ill explain anyhow.. XD
at RUSH kc (which is the period of time encompassing the first few weeks before and after the 1st few days of skul), the bookstore hires 40 TEMPS .. TEMPS ha.. not PERMANENT employees.. in other words, they hire so many temps pag RUSH cuz they neeed the help..
working for the past couple of weeks, i'd sometimes overhear cla john, pam, jamie, danielle, brad, ms. courtney, etc (the people who've been at the bookstore for a long time lrdy) talk about who of the temps they'd want to "keep" working @ d bookstore.. so wen i overheard this, i found out that it's actually possible that they 'let me go' (aka fire me =S ..) after RUSH .. but thanks to God's favor, my hard work has definitely paid off.. ^^ .. let's just say i think they'll keep me.. ^^ .. which would be TOTALLY AWESOME esp. for this 1st year cuz being that i can't drive yet and it would be easier not just for me but for cla tito joel and tita jinky too since they dont have to pick me up after skul to bring me to work in a different place... (noting that my job @ d bookstore is on-campus) =D
nyweiz... XD .. after that whole episode at the bookstore, i made my way to find where my 1st class was gonna be.. ENC 1101 .. it was @ building 39, rm. 2039 .. wen i got there there were already a couple of students there waiting.. the classroom is small.. cguro mga 20-25 lng kmi dun sa class.. it turns out that we did have a prof lrdy (i explained kc in the last post na i felt that nothing would happen sa class na 2 kc la pang announced na prof XD .. abviously i thought wrong XD ..) .. his name is Wayne Francis.. ..
wen class started, he handed out a course syllabus.. we discussed it a bit and ung mga requirements for the class (a few of which was 4-1000 word essays, 2-1000 word in-class essays XD .. beat that XD ..,) tpos may quiz na kaagad sa wednesday (topic is ung syllabus XD ..).. we did an activity where we got a\ partner and asked each other's name and then u hav to introduce him/her to the class, (not the usual introduce urself to the class thing..) .. tpos later in the class, Mr. Francis showed us a video on Youtube XD about how the Ms. Teen USA South Carolina contestant answered the question that was asked to her in the pageant.. we discussed this.. etc etc.. mainly the point is that the class' purpose is to develop critical thinking.. the whole writing part about it is just the application and expression of that critical thinking..
this class looks like it's gna be an OK class ;) ^^ .. it has its seriousness to it, but it has its intimacy to it (kc small class) and u can kinda feel its potential to be a fun class ^^
after this, 1 hour break.. i went to d bookstore, got my lunch, prepared my lunch, and ate my lunch XD .. i was having trouble finding a table XD .. so i just ended up asking someone if i can sit where he was.. his name was kenneth.. ^^ .. nyweiz, after that, i got my books from my brand new locker ( ^^ ) and went to the library to explore and see what's there ^^ .. the library has 4 floors (bengga XD ..) .. it has books of course, a lot of computers, a media library, cd players, solitary desks (aka a desk with walls so you can't be disturbed XD ..), a starbucks! , etc.. XD .. in short, THE WORKS .. niceness XD ^^ (forgive all the "ness" words 2day btw XD ..)
so during this break, i used one of the computer there a bit (w/ SUPER BILIS internet btw :> ..) .. i even made a post on my multiply guestbook and blog cbox while i was there XD .. it just felt so freedom-ish XD .. so aun.. it's cool ^^ .. i can do my internet stuff ther wen im bored.. XD
after this, i went on to my STA class.. here i sat with Bobby, who also goes to my ENC class as well.. the instructor's an Indian (not to be racist but just to note her difficulty in speaking english =S .. which myt be a bit of a prob come lecture tym =S ..) .. her name is Pali Sen.. the room is a huge place (i think it can seat about 100 students.. @_@ ..).. so un.. =D
2 bummers was 1. ung her being not so well an english speaker, and 2. the bummer that we all bought ung package sa bookstore na sobrang kapal na may study guide and lecture cd asyd from the book tpos un pala, ung book lng required nya.. wamp.. XD
ung sa english speaking nya, nkaka-awang nakakatawa nga nun e XD cuz there were just some times where she'd say something that wouldn't make much sense pero gets p rin namin XD .. bsta.. XD .. di ku ma-explain .. XD .. even the simplest and normalest (forgive the coined word XD ..) phrases would become funny XD .. ewan q ba.. XD .. bsta comedy XD .. pero i think it's gna be an ok class.. ^^ .. we actually tackled some stuf today that we tackled sa stat natin nung 4th yr.. ung mga population, sample, qualitative, quantitative, discrete, continuous, etc..
nyweiz after this class, break ulit.. i hanged out ulit sa library, re-wrote the notes i made kc super messy nd pangit sulat (4 na buwan ba namang ndi nagsusulat XD ..), tpos used the computer agen =D
aftr that, i passed by the bookstore to load off my heavy heavy stat stuf XD, got my psych book, then went to my PSY class.. i sat next to a filipino guy hehe.. ^^ so aun we talked a bit.. ^^ .. he's a sophie.. a member of the Pre-Med Society (which i myt join if the Lord convicts me to going into med skul ^^ ..) .. his name is Mel ^^ .. hehe pinoy-ness XD ..
nyweiz, the instructor of the class is Minor Chamblin .. he discussed the course syllabus, grading system etc, (i wont explain that anymore since sobrang haba na XD .. maybe next tym ;) ..), etc etc .. he had a power point presentation and evrything.. which was nice ^^ .. it seems like he's very serious bout his teaching.. so yeah.. i think it's gna be an OK class too ^^ ..
at some point in the class, Mr. Chamblin was talking about this guy who cursed his prof saying "No you stupid s** o* a b***h" cuz he thought differently than the prof.. pero the thing is, ung prof liked him so much cuz he thought critically and had his own views and perspectives (though he was too 'in your face' about it XD ..) .. again (like sa ENC class ku) the point was critical thinking which is going to be a focus of the class.. la lng.. XD .. i just cant forget how he said the word b***h like he did.. XD .. solid e XD
nyweiz, this class ended early, mga 3:50 instead of 4:15 .. so i made my way to the bookstore to drop off my stuf and maybe just hang out a library till 4:30 for work.. pero wen i got there, i askd if i can clock in early, and since they were being so smothered with people XD, pumayag cla hehe ^^ .. kht 30 mins early aq mag clock-in XD
so aun.. then basically, it was just work till 7:30 .. =D
and THAT was MY 1st day of school .. the 1st page of this new chapter in my life.. College.
XD
hmm lemme make some views on some stuf..
it is SO different here.. iba lng tlga ung feel sobra.. ung feeling of independecy, and ung feeling of kanya-kanya ness.. you see people in pairs, only a few in groups of 3 or more, tpos so many just on their own which makes me feel that im not alone being alone.. which is y i was hardly nervous going into today despite feeling a bit excited and nervous in the past days of anticipation (na ndi din naman maxado ganun ka-major cuz thanks to work, i was there evryday anyway)..
college here is not like high school or even college sa pinas where may mga block at least whom you have the same sked w/ @ least for the sem.. d2 iba e.. kanya kanyang sked.. there would only be a handful or even less of people who goes to more than 1 same class as you.. you get the feeling din na evrybody has their own business.. may kanya-kanya clang lakad besides class..
the whole friends thing, it seems like it's not gonna be as automatic finding friends whom i could be as close with as im close to you guys. i mean, yeah sure i socialize w/ people nd all that, sa class, sa work, i talk to whoever etc etc, i sat w/ some1 at lunch, was with @ least one person in each class i had today, pero i haven't gotten anybody whom i can hang out with freely u knw wat i mean..? i mean dyan kc, i knw u guys have blocks nd all which is why you can easily make a few friends quick and after just a few weeks or less, may grupo k na b4 u knw it..d2 kc parang there's that feeling na ndi kcng linaw mangyari un because of what i just explained above.. xenxa na i cant really explain it too well.. bsta ganun nga..
on the other hand of this whole friend situation, im at peace about it cuz i know that God will assign friends to me.. ^^ .. pero till then, i just gotta wait.. know im kinda expecting things too fast.. i knw my friends will come.. pero that's just how it kinda feels ryt now.. then agen, we'll see.. ;)
dont wori bout it ya'll.. specially mom n dad.. cguro nga i just miss having the companionship and security of having a friend i can just go to anytym, u knw wat i mean..? i mean, it's been 2 months nd it kinda kicks in once in a while .. =| .. but im fine ^^
i know it's all gna be good ^^ .. i know im in God's favor =)
nyweiz ya'll i gotta go.. super haba na n2 amp XD .. 2 hours na aqng nagcocompose amp XD .. i gotta rest na.. till next tym guys..
miss you all..

sweeeeeeet..! (my 1st American paycheck) Ü
haaaaaa-llelujah! haaaaaa-llelujah! (*ray of light from the sky and the sound of angels singing*) hahaha XD
whooopeee! i got my 1st paycheck today! ^^
but b4 i begin blabbing XD, just wanna make a greeting =D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA! ^^
it's her bday this 24th of august.. hehe =D .. nyweiz.. .. .. =P
this paycheck was just for last week's work which totalled 34.39 clocked-in hours out of the 36 hours i supposedly worked since they subtract pala the time you take on your breaks and if you clock out early and stuff lyk that.. so in short, talagang strict cla w/ the time you put in.. =D .. if your shift is 9 to 7 but you clock out at 6:30 instead of 7, bawasado ung 30 mins na un sa oras mu.. i guess that was the case with this.. i was expecting 36 hours worth of work pero i gues it just turned out to be 34.39 pero minus na ung breaks and ung early clock-outs.. bale, i get paid for every minute i work and don't get paid for every minute i don't work.. =D
here's the math =D ...
minimum wage [$6.67] / hour times [34.39] hours minus mga [30] dollars of tax = :> ;) :> ;) :>
6.67 x 34.39 - 30 = ***.** .. =)
and that's just one week of work.. *nudge nudge* .. ^^
ima budget this one into a couple of expenses.. a couple of em is:
maybe a little more clothes for me to wear =D , pabango (dhl naubusan aq =D ..), money to have my guitar checked out and to buy new strings and a bottle of polish, tapos shmpre, 10% tithe to the Lord ^^
other stuf that's been going on...
i bought my books yesterday and today ^^ .. hinihintay ku n lng na maka-recieve ng information ung bookstore from my prof for my ENC 1101 college writing class para mabili ku na ung books for that class ^^
nabili ku na lahat ng books ku for my biology class, my psych class, nd my stat class, (which totalled about $400 bucks by the way!) .. tpos un..
i also got to see today my regular work sked for wen skul starts.. ill post it na lng wen it;s final.. kakausapin ku pa c ms. darla.. ima ask and see if i can cancel one shift on tuesday.. i gave her 2 avaiable slots kc, one in the morning, and one in the afternun.. 1 b4 and aftr class, not thinking that they really myt actually give me BOTH those slots.. kala ku isa lng.. i wanna cancel one of them para naman medyo mas matimbang ku ung school work-load ku.. i dont wanna have too much of a hard tym.. kng macancel ku nga ung shift na un, ill be working 25 hours a week pero kng ndi ku macancel, it'll be 29 hours. either way, the pay is ok (watta rhyme XD..), pero i just wanna free up my tuesdays a bit para ndi naman aq maxado mahirapan.. tska para 1 work shift lng aq per day =D
also today, (like other days), i met a lot of people.. helpin em out with their books and all.. but today, there was this one guy who looked pinoy (there are other pinoys i see too, but not all of em i get to talk to about our being pinoy-ness.. XD..) .. pero what made me talk to him more was that i noticed he had a pool cue with him.. hehe which was awesome ^^ .. so yeah i guess we kinda clicked there.. we talked a bit etc etc.. bout billiards, our being pinoy, other pinoys on campus, the game room in UNF (where there are a couple of billiard tables) etc etc.. hehe so that was cool ^^ to have been able to connect w/ some1 n ganun ^^
continuing work, i went to the back room and had to do some prepping for some books.. that's number 15. btw on the list of stuf i do @ work =D .. i also did another new thing besides that today.. =D
15. book prep - all i do here is tag them w/ a 99999 sticker, a used book sticker, and a security tag.. tpos what's next done with these books is just locating them and shelfing them..
16. phone voice mails - basically these are the voice messages on all of the phones in the store.. i just had to listen to each message and note the name of the person who called and their number for someone to call them the next day..
so nyweiz, doing #15 right after talkng to that ryan guy, i mentioned it to john/johnathan since he's half pinoy (tpos 1/4 welsh [from wales] and the 1/4 swiss ata un XD [from switzerland]) .. so i told him that i got to talk to that ryan guy tpos that's wat made me and john start talkin about billiards kc he plays pala! hehe niceeee ^^ .. we eventually also talked about guitar cuz he playes that as well too! ^^ .. so aun, click na click tuloy kmi.. XD .. he's the closest friend ive made so far i gues ^^ .. aun.. la lng.. ^^ share ku lng.. just something nice i thought i'd mention ^^ =D =)
nyweiz that's pretty much it.. i gotta rest lrdy.. ima do my chores tomorow morning so i wont go OL.. =D
take care lagi kau dyan ^^ .. miss you guys =) .. just haven't been saying it, but i really REALLY do.. =| .. .. haay.. ..
anyway, bye for now ya'll.. ;)

another 1 bites the dust.. 2 actually.. >_<
there goes another string.. XD
just broke another string today.. actually.... i broke one yesterday too.. haha XD .. that's 2 strings in 2 days.. 1 per day XD .. galing galing XD .. 2day, i was trying to tighten the truss rod a bit.. in the process of doing so, you have to loosen the strings 1st.. then after tightening it, you tune the strings back to pitch.. so after a couple times of doing so, boing! XD .. there goes the 3rd string..! XD .. thus, by also counting the one i broke the last time (in another post), my guitar now only has 3 strings.. wonderful (sarcastic).......... XD
ima try a different type of strings next tym i get to buy.. screw the EXP's.. "lasts longer" my butt XD .. yeah sure.. lasts long...... IF IT MANAGES NOT TO GET BROKEN.. XD.. ima try the D'Addario EJ17's which are the regular phosphor bronze strings.. mas mura pa .. it's only $5.50 compared to the "longer lasting" EXP's priced at 13 bucks XD
nyweiz, since my last post, basically ang nagyari lang was that it was my day off nung thursday, i worked friday 9-7, tpos kahapon (saturday), i worked more or less from 10-4.. today, we just went to church this morning.. tpos mamaya uli..
my sked for this week @ work is way different than that of last week.. monday 3:00 - 8:30, tuesday 2:00 - 8:30, wednesday to friday 2:00 - 9:30, then saturday 11:00 - 8:30.. a total of 39 and 1/2 hours..
that's pretty much it for now.. ^^
