Set the Program

Pre-caution: IT allergic people are forbidden in this post just in case. Haha, I’m kidding :D

Believe it or not, it’s already been my second day of figuring out how my programming project will turn out --- at least for its user interface. Anyhoo, it was such of a big help since I get to skim through the other codes for Java. I’m pretty proud of myself, though, because I got to accomplish stuff and learn CSS!

 

Here’s what my program looks like as of the present :) I wish to finish it in time… meaning, before the sem ends.

I won’t leave this entry with that, though. Who wants sushi? They’re from Tempura, a restaurant just beside Gerry’s Grill in TriNoma. Their food are more than just deliciously, mouth-watering- looking. Here’s two of what we ate for our dinner celebrating my father’s birthday!

My Second Death

Months before, one of my friends tweeted me about having a Super Show III: Manila. I know you could guess my expression and what I exactly felt by then. Giddy, happy and at the same time determined to reach a whooping P10,000 for a VVIP seat. Some of you, though, thinks that it’s too much to spend for a three-hour concert. It was also the reason why I’m kind of not open to tell anyone about this fact because it’s either they comment “Ang yaman!” (which, of course, is a total false statement. I had to enormously hunger myself and avoid eating what I want in school) or “Grabe! Sobra naman!” (yes, that’s how I love this 13-3+2 all-boy Korean group). Nonetheless, I think the three hours was completely worth the wait!

Since words are less these days, here are photos from the concert itself. It was really nice to hear nice feedbacks from the people who see your photos regardless if they’re only interested about the boys’ pictures or if they actually like them. But, yes, thank you again! :) (I had to resize all photos XD)

MANN MANN... HANN-ey!

Early in the morning of the bright, shining day of February 14, 2011, my mother asked me out of the blue of where we should go to eat later that everning. I asked why, it did not even cross my mind that it was already Valentine's Day. Roses? Nah. Chocolates? It'll just make me fat. In short, that Monday was a day like any other. I'd rather stick with non-chocolatey food. Haha :P

Anyway, moving on to my point... despite the business (it should be read like, busy-ness) of my life as of the moment juggling studies, extra-curricular but school-related activities and the Korean fandom, I forced myself to have dinner with my parents. Just to share, over the last week, I mostly spent my night out the our lovely home that I never spent any meal with my family. Breakfast? Very seldom since I wake up earlier than them.

On my way to school, I was endlessly thinking of a restaurant where we can spend dinner aside from the infamous Pancake House. Then I thought of Mann Hann, a what seems to me a restaurant with very delicious menu since everytime I get the chance to walk by that place, there's always people lining up for their seats.

Indeed, my expectations did not fail. They really have awesome food!

How was your Valentine's Day? :D

Korean Food...again.

So I had yet another dose of Korean food a while ago but, tada! I'm not with friends this time but with my parents. I guess they got too overwhelmed with the food they served us since it's their first time to taste the very hot Korean cuisine.

Like the usual, I ordered for them a platter of Samgyupsal (Grilled Pork) which one of the waitresses grilled in front of us. The side dishes were totally rejected when the main dishes were served and, yes, we swam with kimchi --- three kinds of them. And we ate this dish... I just can't remember what it was but it's kind of like a rice topping.

Next cuisine to try with family? Middle Eastern, perhaps?

PS: I'd love to turn this blog to where I can post solely about food.
PPS: Entry about our retreat coming up!

Random ramblings on what life is supposed to be

Here's another morning, the usual. You get up from your bed, go to the bathroom, look at the mirror and say, "What could possibly happen today?" or, ""What's so unusual? This day's gonna be the average."

We wake up everyday thinking of the possibilities that life could bring us. More often that not, we go around the circles of chances, opportunities and choices. The "what ifs"and the "what not." We chase our dreams not knowing what things are waiting for us. It's either we grab our chances to reach what we want or let it get away at the palm of our hands.

Moreover, life gives us so much surprises that we cannot even fathom and we need to give it a closer look. A closer look that help us escape the foolishness of what a human being possesses. The problem is, however, we cannot separate from being foolish because it's part of who we are. We make rash decisions, get the results and regret it later. If we could only ask and see what the future will give us we would happy, wouldn't we?

God never gave us a power of looking into the future and, instead, He gave us the thought of having to decide for ourselves, for what we want and what we desire for. With our thoughtlessness, He indirectly teaches us what life is really all about, it is about learning through the hardest of the hardest circumstances. I'm not saying acceptance is the key but it's to see more of our capabilities through hardwork to achieve the top we've all been looking up to. We must never decline the challenges He is providing us for those can make us stronger, making us fully aware of what our lives truly mean and obtain a deeper perspective of our purpose here on earth.

It's always the choices we make, the decisions that we carefully thought of or the ones we simply choose to throw away. Life revolves on what we are and what we do so give it the best shot!

HUZZAH!

Then again, the glorious feeling of accomplishment has taken over me! I am finally finished with our so-long Physics laboratory report for tomorrow and after this entry, I shall sleep for around 4 hours. The shortest yet for the first days of 2011.

Anyway, I'm also gonna take this chance to blab about my recent adventure with the Woori of my life, Arysse, near La Salle for our search of "the" Korean restaurant.

That reads like... Geum Kang Sik Tang? XD

Some of the side dishes. Kimchi!

Spot the ramyeon and the samgyupsal!

My very "eager-to-eat-meat-like-a-gumiho" face.

Arysse and I at Noriter! ♥

It's actually really worth it, if you may ask. Even more worth it than Kaya's.

Resolutions.

And then it suddenly dawned on me, big changes can happen overtime. In my case, though, I beg to disagree.

For the past few years of my life, I’ve been finding a way to "transform" big time when it comes to habits. Sad to say that everytime I tried, I failed, and this failure went on and on until I went to college.

Anyway, I'd like to say that this is a post New Year entry consisting of the resolutions my life has been looking forward to... ever since.

• Avoid cramming. Just in case I find it very difficult to follow, I put "avoid" instead of the complete "no cramming" sign. I'd like to share, though, that the start's pretty great and I hope I'll be...



• More consistent. I always have a hard time maintaining grades... and some other stuff.



• Put smileys in text messages. This is VERY self-explanatory, set aside my "K" texts. Hahaha!



• Being proactive rather than reactive. When one of my blockmates, Lalaine, talked about this in her report, I was suddenly all ears to what she was saying. Reactive? It's the being of a person who is easily overtaken by her emotions while the proactive side is more of a "put your heart before your mind" concept.



• Lots of patience.



• Less Facebook, more actual books. Everybody needs this anyway! ...at least, I think we all do.



• Like they said, "early to sleep, early to rise." For the record, I've been sleeping as early as 9:30 PM on a school day and the day starts at 5:30 AM for me to study. Been keeping in mind what I've read in a Yahoo! health article that it's better to study during that time of the day when your mind's all hyped up!
  



• Staying true to what I say. Hello there, more serious life.
  

I think that's all for now, folks! Good luck to everyone's having their exams ;)
