Happy New Year!

It was raining on New Year's Eve but people still fired their fireworks and firecrackers. Hehe.. :P The kids loved the fireworks. They were running around screaming everytime the fireworks went off. So funny and cute. :3

It's kinda quiet without the kiddos around... I felt like crying last Sunday when I dropped them off at the bus terminal. They'll be busy with school again so I won't have playmates until vacation time. I just miss them so much... :(

What's new with me? Hmm.. maybe my addiction to Tekken 6. But I'm really trying to control it, even having a schedule and sticking to it. Or at least I try. :P Anyway, it's just a form of entertainment and not a career. -_-

I'm also getting a bit better in syncing the iPod Nano. Haha.. I do not like reading manuals... but if I ever get some spare time I'll try reading it so I could find out how to use all the features. :)

And I gained weight... pfft. I'll try to burn it off by walking a lot. Haha... :D

Lookie! I have cleaned up my desktop for 2009! Aren't you guys proud of me? *beams*

BREATHE

I was so tired when I got home from school that after dinner and relaxing on my parents bed, I fell asleep. @_@

Well, stress stuff started last Wednesday, escalated by Saturday and started to diminish yesterday (Monday).

Stressful things:
1. Lola's funeral - Spent the whole Friday night up to Saturday morning. No sleep. Parents were not home for the past 3 days. ^^;
2. Thesis - Not yet finished. Target to finish the first draft by the end of January.
3. Academics - Report for 151, Interview for 197, EEE exam and homework, and Presentation for 173
4. Yearbook - For the ads and barkada pages and marketing stuff.
5. Jobfair - Where am I going to apply? What am I going to put in my resume? O_O
6. Gifts - Ahaha... last minute shopping! XD

De-stressers:

1. Barkada Bonding - Yay for Nikki's comeback! So sad I wasn't able to bring a camera, I forgot all about it because my parents used it that the morning and I didn't have any sleep. We didn't get to go to Global Fun Carnival because it was raining, but the seafood feast, cheesecake galore, exchange gifts and Monopoly more than made up for it! (I really wanted to go to the Carnival. ^^;) :P
2. My nephew and nieces - I love them to bits.
3. My pets - Because fun-loving dogs are so cute! Birds do the silliest things. XD
4. The Secret - Positive thinking gets you EVERYWHERE. ;)
5. Shopping - Enough said. :D
6. Internet - It's always nice to unwind by just browsing stuff.

Yesterday, I was in school by 8:30am for our report and got home around 7:10pm because we had to finish our interview. That explains the super tired feeling. ^^ Right now, I'm still researching for the homeworks. Ehehe... good thing I got some sleep before working. :)

Let's go!

Thesis gonna be the end of me...

Really, I never fully understood why my friends had to stay really late in school for something like this.

NOW I KNOW.

*cries*

I'm rushing with my thesis right now. I still have 7 experiments to do. Each experiment needs about 5-6 hours to complete if I'm lucky... if not then I have to wait for 8 hours like yesterday. T_T

On top of that, I'm getting a bit sick. :( See... my immune system isn't that great, and when I got caught in the middle a heavy rainfall last Thursday I began having coughing fits. ;_; Aside from that, I got an eye irritation because I kept rubbing my eye yesterday and now my left eye is all swollen. Then there is not eating on time (because of waiting for the experiment) and if I ever eat, it's something unhealthy and easy to finish (because I have to go back to the lab for the next experiment). And I also lack sleep because I have to study or make reports for other academic subjects. ._.

I wish there was 100 hours in a day, that way I'd be able to finish all the experiments in one day and I'd have enough time to think about other things for the remaining time. T_T

I still need to characterize the samples (AFM at Ateneo) and I need a working vacuum evaporator. Haaaaaah. Stress. T__________________________T

*prays to finish the thesis this sem*

Harry Potter fever!

And so.. I have dedicated a whole post about the entire Harry Potter book. I finally finished reading.. yay! :p

My thoughts about the book.

Now on to journals which contain spoilers. XD

Thank God I had no classes for two days and no exams for this week. Definitely made me feel free for a while. :)
