Differently

When we stopped calling, everything changed...

Uneasy

It has been a long time since I have posted the previous entry. The reason for that, well, is:

Limited Edition Money Collecting

So far my plan of tightening my own belt failed, as financial crisis came and took all of my savings. In the wallet. Prices have increased, and so does the times I ride a jeep going to places in UP Diliman. Anyway I suddenly found this urge of keeping and saving peso bills, new and those that are limited.

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.

Person Review: Some other Professors I Had

In UP Diliman, there are a lot of professors to choose from. Mostly students try to avoid the terror ones, like Agapito, and find the uno-able ones. Uno-able means many students usually get a 1.0, the highest grade given, in the class, or it means that you won't have trouble with that class.

Compared to other students in UP, I'm still partly unexperienced, though, because I don't know which profs are terror and which are not. I soon know that when I let someone read my enlisted classes. Luckily I survived (and hope to survive) the previous school year. This school year, however, will be tough and I have to give my best.

Going back to the title itself, here are the professors I had in UP Diliman during the first year. Please note that this is my review and it is up to you whether you should believe it or not. Word of advice: ask a professional.

If ever you stumbled accross this page and if you are a professional (experienced student in UP) then please provide your opinion about the people below by commenting. Also you may want to share your professors during the previous years (or semesters) and I'll gladly add it just below my comments.

First Impressions: Enrollment, Class and Molave

June 14, 7:30 A.M. marked the start of my first day in class in UP as a sophomore. But before that:

I have been staying in Molave Residence Hall, my "now" dormitory since June 9. That was enrollment back then.  Accompanied by my mom, we entered the dorm. Note that it was rainy back then and we were too tired to do much.

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.

Site Recommendation: TipRadar.Com, the Freebies Sites

I love Freebies!

Freebies --- Oh how I love them. And they’ll always be coming.

I really love freebies. Freebies are the stuff that fills up my laptop. Almost each program I have is a freebie. I love it when the makers of the software gives a freebie, or gives a contest to see who gets the license. Don't worry it's legal and it's not pirated. I assure you, some programs given are the best in the market.

Review/Guide: The Blogger's Pay-to-Click Guide for IncraseBux Standard/Verified Members

This guide has been created April 26, 2011. Modified May 1, 2011. Everything is subject to change anytime. I swear to you that I am honest in my word here. Sorry for my incorrect tenses.

Paying PTC Site

Another PTC Site Like IncraseBux

It's been a while now since I've been clicking at IncraseBux, a known paying PTC site. Compared to NeoBux (although I stopped clicking at NeoBux because of an IP Problem), IncraseBux gives a fair amount of clicks and earnings. Their admin, who has been very witty about getting a win-win-win for them, advertisers and investors, gave a pretty much complicated but great way to earn money. It's pretty much a loss for those are, well, below premium members. I'll tell you more of this later. For now here's a screenshot of the advantages/disadvantage of each type of member:

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.

Good Friday: Fasting, Abstinence, and the Seven Last Words of Christ

Remember this old saying?

I asked Jesus, "how much do You love me?" He said, "this much." Then He stretched out His arms and died on the cross, for me...

And for us. That's how Jesus loves us. John 3:16 also tells us how God loves us: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

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.

Person Review: (UP Diliman) Kai Brynne Boydon, my Math 17 Professor!

Here is my personal review on my math 17 professor Kai Brynne Boydon. She's one the best math professors I ever had.(though Sir Agapito was also one of the best, you have to give him your best in order to pass)

Notes before you continue: This is a personal review based on personal experience. She was my professor during First Semester 2010-11. Everything is subject to change with time. Who knows maybe she'll be teaching at a different university. For now she isn't because she's taking up Master's degree. (and more probably Doctorate degree)

Back at the Dorm

It was a very tiring day coming back to the dorm, but before that, I had the times of my life. (No they're not the best, but they're not the worst either.)

There was one day during my stay in my mom's hometown, it was my cousin's graduation. (And also my other cousin/relative/IDK's graduation, they share the same graduation.) Unfortunately she didn't have any medal (my other cousin did) but at least we were there to watch them. Their valedictorian (I don't remember her name and I don't know her, but she's a close friend of my cousin) gave quite a touching address. There was just some problems, first it was really long (you don't really want to make your audience bored, do you?) it took approximately 1 hour and a half, and second it was too personal. (It's like she shared her whole life with it. By the way she commented on every person she met, well mostly.) Nonetheless it was HER speech and she owned the floor that time. The program ended around 7pm already after that.

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:

I'm Back! (Update: SmartBro Trick Boost)

Hey guys I'm back! Sorry to keep you waiting for more of my blog posts. I've just finished with all my projects for this semester and right now I am in my mother's hometown which is eight hours of bus travel from Manila. That was very tiring because I felt like being an insomniac. I couldn't get much sleep with the bus especially because the bus was bouncing up and down and to the left and to the right. After I and my mom arrived we had a really long sleep which was really 3 sleeps combined as one. Now that I'm fully awake I began testing the SmartBro if HSDPA(High Speed Data Packet Access) exist. Fortunately there was but signal strength is two bars.

Here is my Internet Speed:

Fair Enough! :D

Dealing with Pointers and Files on C

I had this machine exercise on my EEE11 class, and boy, I am dealing with file I/O and pointers. Our lecture professor had discussed a little about pointers, and for the past two meetings we hadn't had a lecture class. Our lab instructor wasn't there last week, and so she gave us the machine exercise which will be checked this coming Tuesday.

Since I had no idea about opening files in C programming I had to do some research from my notes and my friends. Luckily they answered 2 out of 3 parts of the problem. The last one, well they'll be needing more help. After my research and coding I was able to finish all three parts, but I don't like the way I solved part three.

Kenan and Kel

Kel Loves Orange Soda

Who loves orange soda?

KEL loves orange soda.

Is it true?

Mmmm hmmm... I do, I do, I do, I do-ooooooooooo!!

(rofl) I so missed these!!! It brings back the memories of my childhood TV shows. I don't usually see this kind of crazy (in a good way) stuff in TV, and now, I'm searching my way in the Internet to look for these.
