fortunately for me

YEESSSS! I got a perfect score for pre-final exams in Discrete Math. And it was also the first time I had finished an exam in that class before time was up.

A couple of nights before we got the results, I had a bad dream. I dreamt that I only got one item correctly. So when reality proved otherwise, I was actually more relieved than overjoyed about it. I muttered a brief prayer of thanks.

For few friends however, the day hadn’t been as good. One lost her wallet which contains an ATM card, a ring, and cash amounting 15,000 pesos. Worse, her camera phone was also missing; all these she was quite sure were in her bag. With her awful dismay she wished she rather lost the whole bag than find its zipper broken which only confirmed that the items were stolen – in the computer laboratory. I’ve learned that later on, the wallet was found in the ladies’ room, empty.

For two other classmates, misfortune was when their capstone project was deemed not feasible for implementation after the academic website (suddenly) integrated a feature that’s similar to the system they’re proposing. As a result, they have to come up with another project which would not have been as disheartening if they aren’t aiming to graduate next month. My, I feel sad for them. Why wouldn’t the panel consider the fact that these students has been working hard on their proposal for the whole semester already while the subject functionality was “coincidentally” integrated to the school’s website just a few days ago? Is it to be charged against them if they weren’t informed that the school has been working on a similar system already? Could we regard it as mere coincidence that the school’s developer uploaded a similar system few days before our classmates were scheduled to defend their project when from the very beginning, the developer served as their contact person on the ways and means of the system? We wish our assumptions are wrong…

Excuse me...

I never thought farting could smell good. Thanks to Nescafe Body Partner - Relax, smells like coffee - with chamomile. :-)

School was dragging. We were left alone to work on an exercise but the computer I was using won’t cooperate. My frustration’s worsening. I muttered, “This is so boring, I’d rather have sex”. Some classmates overheard and no sooner it was literally the talk of the class.

These (some) other versions were later concocted by my fans err… classmates:

“It’s so difficult, I’d rather have s**”

“Read about our report ok?” “Ugh! I’d rather have s**”

“We might be late. We better have s**”

Night Full of 'Prom'ising Memories

Last year you had a preview of my sister’s preparations for her prom. This year though, it’s not just a ‘backstage pass’ for you but a better coverage of the inside story.

Now a senior, my sister had outgrown her fancy for Disney princesses’-like ball gowns and opted for a chic look. We agreed on white but the dress itself was mom’s pick and we only saw it when it was brought home. Working on a small budget, I found the shoes in a thrift shop in the city; just slightly used and best of all fits her size. Thanks to such shops and our resourcefulness, no more than $20-equivalent paid for everything she wore for the prom.

Through the photos, I can tell she enjoyed her last prom – very much. And when our Cinderella came home past midnight, her stories couldn’t wait for the next day that she woke me up from my still light sleep and beamed that about 15 guys asked her for a dance and that many others flattered her to be Rihanna’s look-a-like. Well, I wouldn’t want to ruin the night and I was too exhausted to protest.
