i was really pissed when i got home. why? the class ended past 8! and the official class schedule was 4-6pm. since the semester started, there was never an instance we followed that schedule! holy crap, when the class ended, most of us had this expression on our faces which could be translated as "what the f..." most, if not all, of us were hungry and tired. most, if not all, weren't absorbing what was being taught! we've waited since 4pm for the class and we haven't eaten since lunch! how conducive for learning to start at quarter to six after waiting since four and have your stomach grumbling an hour later. the class would have been great but unfortunately, the students don't have the energy for it given the circumstance.

even the download speed is slow! and i just spelled "dinosaur" as "dinasaur". thrice! am i becoming sort of dyslexic?

i like the cold weather today. it appeared a bit strange to have the cold weather today since it wasnt that cold before. but then again, the cold season wont end til february. anyway, the internet speed is really slow today. what the crap's wrong!

halfway done with the partnership cases...and its almost 1030am! well, the class is on 2pm. but still, instead of browsing stuff on the internet, i should be finishing the assigned cases. why do i always have to cram everything. besides, i have a midterm exam on monday! why dont i use my precious time studying for that! of course, i dont listen to myself. i rarely listen to anyone. i just do what i feel like doing. not a very good way of doing things. am i really "capricious and whimsical" as lai said?

im so bored aint i? multiply site still loading...its really becoming very inconvenient.

now im listening to "express yourself" by madonna.

uploading some pics on my multiply site...and its taking a while! when will the ordinary internet speed be restored! anyway, while blogging and waiting for it to load, im listening to "sugar pie honey bunch" by the four tops. just mentioned it for no reason

i miss the cranberries and the unique voice of dolores o' riordan...wonder what happened to them?

its past midnight on a school day. should have studied but i didnt. so what else is new? and i was thinking earlier that i was taking law school too seriously! where the hell did i get that idea? i was thinking i need to loosen up a little bit. loosen up? am i insane? i rarely study! what's there to loosen up? anyway, i was thinking that i should worry less of law school and stick to my style of handling things, which is, to take things easy, not too seriously, and make calculated risks. try not to aim too high, and make sure not to sink too low. my aim is to stay in the race, not win it. what kind of philosophy is that? hakuna matata? i dont know. its just that, when i dont handle it that way, disaster strikes.

another shitty day...just took the midterm exam...and i didnt do well. how did i know? the answer key for the exam was given...where's my confidence now! that always happens. why dont i ever learn? im always confident that im going to do ok, and when the semester is about to end, im squeezing everything i can squeeze out of each one of my brain cells because its a "do or die" situation. why cant i just do things the normal way or at least what most people do...why do i have to risk everything at the end of the semester? just doesnt make sense, and i know, one of these days, im going to make that miscalculation again and bury myself alive...again! see, i never learn. i keep pushing myself to the limit.

i was supposed to blog about something...but, well, as usual, i forgot what it was. anyway, the agency midterms is just a few days away (its on tuesday morning), and i still havent fully absorbed the fact that its a midterm exam! it is as if its just some quiz or something. i hate it. im just oozing with confidence that i would be able to study everything in time. but i have studied. problem is, i could be finished right now. all i did was sleep the entire day! woke up around 4pm, and just watched tv until 8pm. i officially started studying around 830. and i was studying the assigned readings for the monday class and not the for the midterm exam! I hate myself and procrastination. and look at me now, im blogging!

seems like blogger is also experiencing that slow internet speed!

anyway, i finally bought that card reader with a 3port usb hub. it was from the same shop i bought my 250gig hard disk. when i first asked how much it was, they told me it was P550. i thought back then it was a good price, considering most USB hubs cost more or less P600 in malls (4 port hubs), and branded ones cost around P350 in Gilmore. its like paying an additional P200 for the card reader (and i only need the SD, MMC and MS Duo card reader slots). so it wasnt that bad right? well, i didnt buy it yet because i didnt want to deplete my funds back then, i was still on christmas break and i might need the money for some other thing, and besides, it wasnt a necessity. so, i put buying the usb port/card reader on hold. come few weeks later, i went to the store, and fortunately, its still there, and well, the price dropped, nice! its only P500 flat! well, P50 isnt much but still, a price drop is a price drop. so it made me wonder, how come? seems like a good price, it might be one of those gadgets that dont last long. but it looks reliable. anyway, i decided to buy it, and thank God, im not that disappointed. the usb ports work, which are the ones i really need, and the card readers work, not with ease, but hey, still works, and thats what matters more. besides, it didnt cost much. im even charging my mp4 player right now! so i just hope this thing lasts, or at least not a waste of money.

its 2am in the morning, on a school week, and what am i doing? downloading "striptease" by demi moore, ripping "sex is zero" (a korean movie) and fixing my wallpaper collection. how productive of me.

can life get any worse? of course it can! holy carp! yes, carp (jay leno thinks the word crap is so unimaginative, and that made me think, but of course i dont agree with him, i like the word crap, but ive been using it too much).

anyway, its like a "three strikes you're out" scenario. got called for civil procedure class last wednesday, Jan10. i was able to blurt out a few sensible answers, not really good, but answers nonetheless. and since i barely recited, the prof, which was her usual way of conducting recitations, asked whether i would like to continue the following meeting, jan 12. and i said yes because it was a chance to improve my recitation grade since i would have the time to prepare. friday came, and well, it was a catastrophe, like my other usual recitations for other subjects. but even it was messed up recitation, the prof gave me another chance, to still recite on monday, jan 15. so monday came, and well, that recitation, where i was most prepared, was the worst of the three! it just pisses you off doesnt it? you work your ass off for nothing. and to make things a bit more frustrating, the prof thinks you're taking things for granted. well, that's my life and its really getting more fucked up by the minute.

starting to get used to the slow internet speed...seems it would really take weeks or months to fix those cables. anyway, the first 10 days of the year seem to be ok. got called for labor class. the only difference this time is that, wasnt sure if i really was called or not. the prof looked in our direction, and i thought he was looking at me, and since im usually called to recite, without waiting for him to utter a name, i stood up. the prof asked whether how sure was i that he was going to call me? well, since i already stood up, the prof allowed me to continue anyway. as for the next class, i also got called. this time its for sure, the prof called me, making a comment that she finally saw me. not sure if that meant its just my first time to recite or she realized that i didnt do well on the first time and i need to recite. anyway, fortunately, the bell rang, signifying the end of the class, so i can continue reciting the following meeting, giving me a day to prepare.

nothing much happened on the last day of the year 2006. went to the grocery, cheched some mp3s and other software cds in ali mall. went home and waited for the new year. that's pretty much what dec 31 2006 was. and when the new year came, there wasnt much fireworks, only loud booms and other rattling noises so there wasnt anything to photograph (and i charged my digicam! what a waste).

happy new year!!! wow, its not as thrilling as it used to be. 10 years ago, christmas eve and welcoming the new year is something that really kept me up and something i really anticipated. now, well, its no different from any other day, or night. we just eat at midnight, that's pretty much it. at least the internet connection seems to be back to normal again. as for the year 2007, i hope this will be a better year. didnt like 2006 that much although it wasnt that bad.
