Mental Blabberings

Trying out some neat features offered by www.blogger.com... And if I may say so, if this message gets published at my blogsite, it should definitely be something worth looking at. No more logging in through the website, and aside from that you could send email from practically anywhere nowadays that this feature makes blogging so much easier. :) Chill...

Ok, just a chance to maybe make some money out of this blogging thing... :) So friends and welcome readers, please scroll down a little and click on the right hand side where it says "Please Click". :D That should be enough to give me some cash to deal with someday. :D As for the swimming, It's going great -- doing 15.89 on 25m sprints. Might try timing the 50m swims, but maybe on a longer pool. Anyway, I need to think about life seriously right now since the deadlines are fast approaching. Must get serious fast. Chill... P.S. -- Moved the ads up a little so that they get more attention... Better placement like they always say is crucial for an effective ad campaign. Location, location, location...

Been taking the swimming training seriously and yesterday I did a whopping total of 1900m swimming. This set includes: 20x25m easy swim warm-ups, 16x25m side kicks, 20x25m one-arm pulls, 10x25 fast/easy interval freestyle laps, and 10x25m cool down laps. Feeling really great, but unfortunately the tropical depression did not allow us to train today. I could only hope that tomorrow I can get some easy swims in the morning, and the training sets in the afternoon. I'm currently contemplating on whether I should graduate ASAP, or get 12 more units for next semester so that I could at least join the SCUAA games next semester. Either that, or I finish all the requirements this semester, except for my manuscript so that I could be eligible to join the games. I feel the urge to train and represent UPLB after all the things that UPLB has done for me. I feel this is one way I could somehow repay UPLB a little while I am a student. Unless someone talks me out of it, I'm decided on d...

Last night, I had two. Today, I had 1 for lunch. If this goes on forever, I'm not sure if I could achieve the sexy body I so long to have someday. But then that's more for me than for anybody else, so I need to get motivated. FAST. I sure hope later the electricity will allow us to train in the Baker hall pool. So that I could burn off all the energy I amassed from yesterday till today. The chicken sandwiches with tomatoes (?), onions, pickles, and cheese work their way into the digestive system at a snail's pace... and I hope they get to my muscles in time for my training later tonight. BTW, the concert has apparently been rescheduled since the flooding in the Manila area has rendered the office of the record company. So it looks like we'll be having more time to practice for the concert... :) Chill...

Got invited to a party. A very important person invited me to a party. And I went, saw, and enjoyed. Bon voyage to Ms. Sacha Chua bound for Japan. Ok, there are a lot of things happening in life, and I am very eager to say that I'm swimming again. I have the nerve to say this after 2 chicken sandwiches from Burger King, after not swimming today. But nonetheless, I am now starting to train myself again for competitive swimming -- although I might not qualify for any of the regional contests as a member of the UPLB swimming varsity. I do this, because I love swimming, and I know that swimming will help me achieve a sexy body I so yearn to have someday... But then again, I'll take it one step at a time. Been hacking on problems using Java, and I'm rediscovering the joys of libraries, ready to use ADT's, and lowe and behold: Object Oriented bliss. Now I'm in touch again with my object oriented paradigm of work, and getting the hang of it as I go along. However, I...

Need I say more? Just jump on over to www.xulplanet.com and find out for yourself what XUL (read: zool) can do to your application development life... Might change your perspectives on old web technologies you thought were just there because of the "hype". But then again, we can all just stick to what we know. That works too. :D Chill...

I'm really amazed that there are actually people that read my blog. I always thought that I'd be very lucky if I had someone other than my friends reading my blog -- more because I asked them to. And somehow, I'm beginning to think that there is such a thing as luck. I spent last night with my lady friends from the College of Development Communications in UPLB, and a group of high-ranking army officials being trained by my friends from the college of Dev Com. Friday the 13th started out as a good day going worse every hour I spent. That's until it was dinner time, wherein I rediscovered the joy of intellectual discussion and why I enjoyed it (and debating) a lot. The proposition was, that the educational system of UP promoted rebellion and being "leftist". Of course we from UP wouldn't agree to that. We love being critical and vocally enjoying our rights, that the mere notion of the UP system promoting something other than critical thinking is practi...
