Differently

When we stopped calling, everything changed...

Tropical Storm Falcon

June 24 - 25. Friday and Saturday. The weather brought by the tropical storm Falcon poured water heavily in the University of the Philippines. What happened then is that classes were canceled on those days. Which means no Physics (and the recit quiz), no EEE 21, no EEE 34 which is not good as to what our professor said, and no EEE 13 which means we haven't started doing the Machine Exercise 1. Our professor in EEE 33 also scheduled an advance meeting on Saturday, but unfortunately the rain roared with great intensity. I don't really know whether the meeting happened or not, but more likely it didn't.

The weather brought a satisfying cold temperature suitable for hibernation. Yes, hibernation. I slept long with my blanket wrapped around me. No electric fan needed.

Until Day 3 in Cagayan de Oro

I've been back home in Cagayan de Oro for three days now, and there's some things that happened at that time:

Moving Out: Goodbye Kalay

Kalayaan Batch 2010-11

Tomorrow will be the last day of my stay in Kalay. Just a while ago was the last day Erlinda's (Kalay's current concessionaire) will be serving food, and I haven't eaten there for the day. It's not that I'll Erlinda's, it's just that it was their last day. No matter. I miss Kalay more than I miss Erlinda's. I wish I could stay longer, maybe just for more than a while, but I couldn't. Tomorrow all my things will be removed from the dorm. I mean I'll move them out. Unfortunately I don't know whether I could put them in my next dorm Molave, so I'll put them to my friend's  boarding house. Thanks for letting me leave my stuff there.

Digging Deep (and found my Text Scam blog entry)

There's more than that.

Just a while ago I started cleaning out one of my e-mail's inbox. It started out as around 1200+, the last of the unread message was on February 14, 2011. Most of those e-mails where from Facebook, and so rather reading each one one by one I used "Select All" and "Delete". That deleted twenty-five messages at a time so I would need to do that more than 48 times.

While deleting the messages in my inbox, I read a message about a backlink to my previous EcoSelf blog in Friendster. Not just one but maybe 6, more or less. They linked about my blog entry called The Malicious Text Scam which talks about me insulting a texter for his TRYING-HARD scam. There was just a big problem to his scam: it was written unprofessionally, there were many wrong punctuations, and it's just wrong. You couldn't scam someone like this. You have to be the opposite of that: professionally, believable, and grammatically correct. It's not that I'm teaching you how to scam, it's that I'm teaching you not to scam because you failed.

Basement Boy

It's been two days since I moved out from my room. I had to go up and down 3 flights of stairs 5-7 times just to move all my things. I was very exhausted and I was very dizzy. I tumbled to my slant bed without taking my prescription. (Well actually I woke up around 1am and took them.)

Farewell

There's probably several things that happened in EcoSelf. No they are not good news. Well most of them are.

Day 2 (and Dorm Review: Kalayaan Residence Hall)

It's been two days since my stay in my mother's hometown. Nothing much has happened. Facebook. DotA AI Fun (which isn't really fun). Lie down. Do nothing. Really.

Anyway here's my personal review of my first dormitory in UP, which is Kalayaan Residence Hall:

Sleep: Most of It

A really weird drawing... haha

Sleep. Oh that's a very, very big problem here in our dormitory. Most of the residents sleep really late. Some sleep around eleven, but most sleep way beyond twelve o'clock. I admit, I'm part of the late sleepers, and I wish to change that. There are just some things that do prevent me from sleeping early. This is one.

I must say, sleeping late really shifted my biological clock. Every day in the morning I feel really sleepy, at night I feel alive and alert. Most of my classes starts around eight-thirty, so there's really not much of a problem. But still, I do want to change my sleeping habits.

Internet Blogging Credibility

A very bad image created in Paint by me.

While on my way out, I've had this unfriendly-like and arguing-like conversation with a good friend about Internet Blogging. He really said he doesn't like to read blogs (I'm not sure, it could be that he DOESN'T read blogs at all). It's not because he doesn't want to read personal things (or even non-personal things), but because of its credibility. "Trust", I think, is a very big word for him, and people who just post anything in blogs aren't trustworthy. Even the whole  most parts in the Internet, like Wikipedia, isn't credible enough for him.

Intro

All blogs starts with an intro, especially when it's the first entry.

Needless to say, Hi, I'm Darwin, just call me here by that name. I'm a turning-proud yet new University of the Philippines - Diliman student taking up Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. There's not much information I needed to say, unless if you're a hacker or a criminal who decides to obtain information from me.
