pre-flight jitters

After 3 years of waiting, it all boils down to this moment. Only one more sleep, and I will be heading home. I don’t really know what to feel about this. Excitement would raise my hopes up (as if it’s not sky high already from the build-up of expectations over the years), which may lead to disappointment because let’s face it, things don’t always go as planned. Fear of what might or might not happen (fear of the unknown) would probably make me overanalyze all the possible situations, bum me out and depress me from what is supposed to be “my moment”.

So I chose to focus on the significant details of my trip. Did I forget anything?check. double check. I preoccupied myself with making check lists and thinking hard of what I need to do for my flight tomorrow, as well as all the pabilins of my family. The long list of things to buy should easily distract me and it did, thankfully. At the back of my mind, I’m also thinking about the board exam I had earlier. What if I F*ckd it up? D nako papauwiin ng pamilya ko. My mind is just full-on chaos at the moment.

And as I try to clear my mind from all these, I realized that I actually did it. Things actually went according to plan for once. When I got here, that was the plan. I will go home as soon as I finish my studies and I did it at the time that I was aiming for. Not a day went by when I didn’t think about this (No bullsh*t). It was my motivation, my driving force in everything that I did at school. And I'd like to think that it has gotten me to where I am at this moment. This is my nilaga after my pagchachaga, My sunshine after the rain, My gain after the pain. My light at the end of the tunnel. My…teka, naubusan ako. Hahaha :D nagpapaka-makata pa e.

And because of this, I chose not to worry about the things that I have no control over (shet. Sana wag bumagyo. Hahaha :D). I am ready and I deserve this. Squeezing 3 years in 1 month & a couple of weeks would be impossible but I’m sure as hell gonna try to make this trip worth it.

Hmmm..I smell home :P

expect the expected

Only 4 more days & 5 more sleeps until my flyt home. yeyyy!! that's less than a week! wooow! wer did time go? Anyhoo, i decided to make a mini Jam manual on what to expect from me when I go home. consider this a warning! hahaha :)

Expect a lot of:

p.s. don't expect much sa pasalubong. hehe :D pangunahan ko na, y not?hehe :)

the greatest measure of love..

I was researching about the sequel of my favorite book, Vince's life by Vince O. Teves, and I came across an interview of his and I just can't help but fall in love with him all over again! I want to copy the whole interview here kaya lang spoiler abt the story of the 1st book e. Can't wait for the part 2 of the book! :)

Here's an excerpt from Vince's interview:

I used to think that there was only one person out there for me - or anyone for that matter. It's a romantic notion that I held on to for a long time. But now I realize that it doesn't work that way at all. I think there are a certain number of people out there who can be "the one". Some are a better fit than others, but perhaps the greatest measure of love is not in ending up with someone who Fate decreed was yours but choosing someone simply because you both want to make it work. I think that's more romantic, don't you?

                                                         

aaawww, I  YOU Vince..

yet another "Love is a choice" entry :)

Hell explained by chemistry student

funny post from Patrick :D just wna share :) benta e! pati ung comment mo cnopy ko narin! hahaha :D

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry mid-term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it
with colleagues, and via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now
have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets
to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many
souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist
in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are,
we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now,
we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states
that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same,
the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:


1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all
Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell,
then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year
that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be
true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it
follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a Divine
Being...

.....which explains why last night, Teresa kept shouting, "Oh My God".

This student received an A+.

Ah. Chemistry.

Who says science and faith can't go together?! =D
