the space between us.

You cannot quit me so quickly (May inertia kasi.)
Is no hope in you for me
No corner ycould squeeze me
But Ive got all the time for you, love (All the time? Pwede ka naman mag set ng arbitrary time zero at any point in time. Free will mo yun although sabi ng science at time equals zero nag start ang universe.)

The space between, the tears we cry (Walang space between us. May mga atoms and molecules. Kahit nasa space pa tayo literally. May graviton, branes, and shit. Hindi pwede magkaroon ng vacuum. Ang implication ng vacuum ay walang particle or wave.  Kahit anong gawin mo may virtual particles sa space.)
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more (para kang return customer. Refer to the  Theory of Moral Sentiments.)
The space between, the wicked lies we tell (Kulit neto oh.)
And hope to keep us safe from the pain

Will I hold you again? 
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today? (Hmm. Mahirap i-predict ang weather eh. Sobrang chaotic kasi niya kaya mahirap gumawa ng model na magdedescribe sa mga weather related concepts. Tignan mo yung PAGASA. Delay lagi yung forecast. Paano naging forecast yun?)
We waste the hours with talking, talking  (Makes sense. You can only do something if you increase the total entropy of the universe.)
These twisted games were playing

Were strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you be (LOL! Ano to greater than 10Hz yung nakikitang frequency ng eyes! Parang nakikita na niya mag fluctuate yung light bulb at nakikita na niya yung frame by frame ng TV. HAHAHA!)
The space between, the wicked lies we tell (Upakan na kita. Anong space ba kasi sinasabi mo? Outer space ba yan? Parang surrounding kayo ng isang particular system ng outer space? Hmm. Pwede.)
And hope to keep us safe from the pain (Tol nasa endorphin lang yan.)

Will I hold you again? (Ano to? Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle? Applicable lang to for quantum level eh.)
Will I hold you...

Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster (Ibig sabihin parehas kayo ni Einstein. Si Einstein nakakita ng 4th dimension. Parang nakikita niya yung mga pangyayari involving siya in the perspective of a third person. Kasi nakakita xa ng time dimension eh. Ikaw nakikita mo kayong umiikot sa rollercoaster. Cool.) 
You know you went off like the devil in a church (Refer to Johnine for more information.)
In the middle of a crowded room (See? Entropy. Increasing disorder. Unavailability to do work. Gusto talaga ng nature pumunta sa lowest possible energy.)
All we can do, my love
Is hope we dont take this ship down (Dapat magcompute kayo ng Static Equilibrium. Buoyant force -  (mass)(gravity)=0. Where Buoyant force = (density)(volume)(gravity))

The space between, where you smile and hide (Parang hologram. May projection ka sa ibang space.)
Where youll find me if I get to go
The space between, the bullets in our fire fight 
Is where Ill be hiding, waiting for you (How are you going to  f*ing hide yourself in outerspace? Magtago ka sa mga asteroids? Eh di nahila ka ng gravity nun.)
The rain that falls splashed in your heart (Alam mong anatomically impossible to di ba? May integumantary, muscular, and skeletal system ka. Unless dissected ka tapos tinapon ka sa labas habang umuulan which is weird. By the way walang rain sa outerspace tol kasi walang water vapor dun. Paano magkakacondensation? Eh halos negligible na nga pressure dun eh.)
Ran like sadness down the window into your room (Masad talaga to kasi may friction eh. Nagdidissipate ka ng heat. Nagkakadisorder. :[ )
The space between, our wicked lies (Yeah right.)
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
cause were walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need dear
The space between, whats wrong and right (HAHA. Parang Dirac Delta function. zero or one lang ang value)
Is where youll find me hiding, waiting for you (OH ANO?! Nasa tuktok siya ng dirac delta function. ANG LAKAS!)
The space between, your heart and mine 
Is a space well fill with time (WOW. Profound. Space fill with time. Parang space-time continuum.)

The space between... (... is full of physics.)

Sorry kung puro jargon. Pero naanalyze ko lang yung kanta ng ganito. Natuwa kasia ko sa concept ng "space between". Marami ka kasing pwedeng sabihin. Ayun lang. Salamat sa pagbabasa.

∇•B = 0.

Bakit hindi ko nga ba narealize na ang divergence ng magnetic field zero. Naging one dimensional yung perception ko. Tsk. Akala ko nomal na vector yung B. May mga times na masyado nating kinoconfine yung sarili natin sa isang idea. Pressure + One Dimesional Thinking = INFINITE STUPIDITY. Dapat nasa puso ko na yung Maxwell's equations eh.




















(source: http://talklikeaphysicist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/black-hole-tshirt-back.jpg)
Anyway share ko lang. Yung second equation. Yung same equation na nakalimutan ko ∇•B = 0. ibig sabihin lang niyan, walang source or sink ang magnetic field. Ano iniimply ng walang source or sink? Walang "magnetic charge" or WALANG MAGNETIC MONOPOLE. For now. Kung may makikita eh di dapat i-revise ang Maxwell's equations. Until then, walang magnetic monopole.

102 LE.

Ang hirap ng second long exam sa physics 102. Nagtulong-tulong na kami sa pagiisip kaso hindi talaga kaya. May isang number about inductance na ang sagot may factor na ln(a)-ln(0). Yes. ln(0). ln(0) = negative infinity. Kaya ang inductance DAW positive infinity. Holy Wanton Mami. Isang implication ng infinite inductance ay yung voltage ng ganung circuit dapat infinity din. HOLY CRAP. Isa yun sa mga puzzling problem na wala atang nakasagot. In the first place, hindi siya masyado plausible. Although hindi ko sinasabi na walang infinite inductance, pero masyado atang complicated yung ganung case. Out of 6 problems, 3 lang yung sigurado ko. At baka may mali pa 3 kong "sure" na answers. GAAAD. Bakit ang hirap ng exam. Anyway kaya nga siya masarap sagutan kasi mahirap. Yung feeling na "HAHAHA. Wala akong masasagutan dito. Babagsak ata ako. Yes." Okay lang yun kasi at the back of your mind, alam mo lahat kayo mahihirapan. Mejo superiority complex ata yun. Hehe.

Pero kung lahat nadalian at ikaw nahirapan, ibang usapan na yun. Parang Chem lang yun na bagsak ako sa 2nd LE. "Tell me where did I go F***ing wrong". Ever since high school hindi na ako makapagcomprehend masyado sa chem eh. Parang waterloo ko siya. Kakaiba kasi science din naman yun eh. Nakakafrustrate kasi alam ko na okay ako sa math and physics (at geol LOL). Pero bakit ang BOBO ko sa chem. Kailangan ko ng resolve.

New Blog..

This blog is officially open for public viewing. Bago rin yung skin. As usual dahil sa obstinacy ko at inadequacy si johnine na ang nagayos ng blog ko.

Ewan ko pero hindi na ako masyadong magaling magsulat ngayon. Hindi naman kasi talaga ako natutong magsulat eh. Pero mas naging worse pa ata ako ngayon. Lahat kasi ng papers ko puro citations ng equations. Parang kalahati ng page puro equations (seryoso) tapos factual lahat. Dapat lahat ng assertions mo supported by facts experimentally or theoretically. Dahil dito nahihirapan na ako magsulat ng paper na nageexpress ng opinions. Sa GE class ko kapag nagsusulat ako ng reaction paper parang nagsasalita lang ako. Pero as much as possible coherent parin ako. Dapat coherent.

Confessions.


Right now I am having the thrill ride of my life. There are so many things to do and this makes me want to procrastinate even more. I hate chemistry. I hate reading Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas views on politics. What does religion has to do with politics anyway? Religion and Politics are like oil and water. They have different density.Well as far as I'm concerned, politics is denser for some obvious reasons.

"Halina tikman and langit."

If you can taste heaven how would it taste? I think heaven tastes like fishballs dipped in spicy sauce. Probably it is as sweet as watching movie with the love of your life. It tastes like synchroton radiation and solar storm. It tastes like Faraday's cage. It tastes like Gaussian surface. It tastes like your sweat from laughing your ass out because you don't have a class in chemistry. It tastes like Gram-Schimdt process. Heaven tastes like your love's lips. Heaven tastes like physics problems being solved.

I thought of what will happen to my life maybe one or two years from now. Maybe I would look and smell like Mr. Relativity. But I am more concerned to the possibility of getting toxicated. You will not survive in Newton's jungle just because you love and appreciate climbing trees. You should know physics. Passion is not enough. It will never be enough. You should have the wit and talent. And guts to take physics courses by Dr. Sarmago. The possibility of me hating myself because I chose this field is probable though unlikely. You need to be a masochist if you want to learn physics. You should enjoy the pressure. Enjoy the pain of staying up late at night because of solving problems. Feel every motion of idea in your brain. For a while, I forgot that feeling . It was earlier when Dr. Sarmago gave us a rare six-items quiz that the excitement and fun came back. The secret ingredient is to simply enjoy it. Solve those problems as if you are eating ice cream. Solve those problems like you are drinking a cup of coffee in a cold dark night. Just have fun. You can see in our faces the joy of making ourselves suffer from solving problems that won't have anything to do with oil crisis. Those who took physics for the sole reason of getting a job should burn their ass to hell. If they want a job, they should go to ECE. The important thing is the end product. And the end for those who enjoy carrying this cross in their backs is fulfillment. Fulfillment is second to none. Money is just supplementary for us. The joy of doing this is priceless. You do physics because you love it and not because you want to earn something using it. These are all my opinions. But they are honest opinions.

jeepney..


While riding a jeepney on my way to our house I eavesdropped on a conversation between a father and a prodigal son. The driver happens to be the father that I am talking about. Upon entering the ride, his son boast of coming out from a detention center. Obviously, he did something bad. The son asked if he can bring his friends with him to their home to drunk themselves. The best part is that the driver disagreed with the dumb idea saying "Bigyan mo ako ng kahihiyan." The notion of dignity is still important for them which I obviously find nice. Most of the trip, the driver talked about his experiences in jail and scolded his son telling him that he wouldn't want to enter one. For me, the most notable part of the conversation is when they talked about the father leaving his wife and settling for another whore. It is notable because it is so ridiculous. He said "Pinakita ko lang sa kanya ang pagkukulang niya." And I was "What the fuck is wrong with this guy. Is it that easy for him to get a relationship?!". And then his son bragged about his former girlfriends and how he got rid of them. And then suddenly it came into my mind that those who are below the hierarchy don't know how to take care of their possessions. They easily let go of things. They don't give a fucking value on what they have. It is VERY VERY ironic because they are the ones who don't have that much opportunity yet they tend to waste them. I say, if they hope to climb up the pyramid they should change their views on life. The most simplest way to start their metamorphism is by taking care of things. They should learn how to appreciate stuff. They really should do that.
