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.

Of Cobwebs.


Whew. It's been a long time. Ang daming araw na nasayang na gusto ko magblog post kaso biglang inaatake ng katamaran. Naalala ko minsan pauwi galing sa school naeexcite na ako magblog post. Pagkauwi ko, dahil sa sobrang pagod hindi na ako nakapagblogpost. Yung pinakavalid na reason is yung pagkakaroon ng hectic na schedule. Sabi na nga ba pangit ang long weekend e. Apat na sunod sunod na araw ng walang humpay na pasakit. Eeew.

Isa sa mga minumokmok ko ngayong sem ay ang pagkakaroon ng chemistry subject. Simula pa noong high school may kakaibang pakiramdam na ako sa chem na yan eh. Parang walang part ng brain ko ang gumagana kapag nagaaral ako ng chem. Lahat ata ng tao ayaw sa chem except sa mga chem majors at chem engg. Isa sa mga natatandaan kong experience ay nung minsan nagsagot ako ng isang chem problem. Nasagutan ko siya ng sobrang bilis tapos nireview ko ulit tapos "BOOM". Hindi ko alam kung paano ko ginawa yun pero tama naman ang sagot ko. Nakakainis kasi ang husay pa ng prof ko. As an individual chemist pero as a professor hindi masyado. Akala niya lahat ng estudyante niya mahilig sa molarity at stoichiometry. Nageexpect siya lagi ng sobrang laki mula sa amin. Bad trip. At eto pa 5 units ang chem kaya 4 hours namin to kinukha every meeting kasa ma na yung lab. HOLY WANTON MAMI! 4 and a half hours of Chem! Dapat eto ang ginagawa sa mga prisoner of war eh. Ilalagay sila sa institute of chemistry ng school namin tapos maglelecture sila for 4 hours. Sigurado makakalimutan nila ang nationalism sa katawan nila.

Okay. Mas maayos na topic naman. Recently ang dami kong napanood ng movie. Itry-try ko i-criticize ang bawat isa bilang isang manonood. Wala kayong pake kung may degree ba ko sa Film and Arts dahil pragmatism ang gagamitin ko.

21. Pinanood nami siya sa widescreen sponsored by Sir Paradao. Cool lang yung card counting techniques. Nagbibigay siya ng kakaibang "view" dahil medyo alien yung culture ng MIT. Dahil sa movie mas lalo kong nagustuhan ang MIT. Hehe. Overall 7/10.

Narnia. Eto sa pirated ko napanood. Action packed siya kaso ayoko ng fantasy adventure na medyo hawig sa style ng harry potter at lord of the rings. Nagbasa din ako ng kaunting info tungkol sa movie. May mga speculations na yung Narnia ay nakapattern sa Bible. Magbasa na lang sa wikipedia kung interesado kayo. 8/10

Iron Man. YEAH! Marvel Comics! UHUH! UHUHUHUHUH! M.I.T. MAN! UHUHUHUHUHUH! Walang dull moments. High Technology. Gold Shhiny Armor. Jericho Rockets. Cool Movie. 9/10

Hulk. Eto ang pinakanakakatakot na movie. Isipin mo nalang isang green monster tumatakbo sayo at 200 kph kasing bilis ng sports car. Tae pakicompute na lang ang momentum. Mas masahol pa to kay Juggernaut eh. Hehehe. Again, magaling na naman si Edward Norton sa pagprotray niya sa mga psycho roles. Maganda pa yung animation kasi well defined. Tapos ang fluid pa ng motion nila. Kaso yung kalaban niya(Abomination) may hawig kay The Thing ng Fantastic Four. Hindi kaya magkapatid sila? Or magpinsan. Or mag-ama?! Corny. 9/10

Hancock. Maganda siya kung maiintindihan mo yung essence ng movie. Masyado siyang malalim. Kelangan muna pagisipan bago magustuhan. 8/10

Kung Fu Panda. Nagcollect ako ng kung-fu panda toys ng McDo. Malamang nagustuhan ko to. Mabilis lang yung pacing ng story kaya enjoy. Tapos nakakatawa pa si Po the Panda. They are no much to his obesity. LOL. 9.5/10

Spirited Away. Eto matagal na tong lumabas. 2002 pa ata. Pero ngayon ko lang napanood. Consistent siya sa top ten greatest animated film of all time. Academy award winner for Best Animated Film. Hindi siya 3D. Parang cartoon lang. At japanese ang creator niya. So parang anime siya. Pero distinct yung design ng characters. Dapat panoorin kasi para sa akin, eto ang THE BOMB! Kakaiba yung movie. Parang alice in wonderland na mas maganda at matalino. 11/10

So. Sana magkaroon ulit ako ng time para gumawa ng blog post. Sana talaga kasi nakakapagdetoxify to. Gagawa muna ako siguro ng equipotential lines at electric field lines para sa Physics. Hanggang sa muli.

Moral Lesson: Kung gusto maging masaya, ang chem ay wag bigyan ng halaga. Kung ayaw tumunganga, manood ng Spirited Away at mamangha.
