What’s Your Blogging Personality?

I was site hopping this day when I found a “What’s Your Blogging Personality Test?” in Blogthings.com. I got curious so I tried to answer the four questions as truthfully as possible. The result:

Honestly, I think that these descriptions do not describe me 100%. But anyway, I enjoyed the experience of taking the test. It’s a lot better than the Midterm Examinations.

P.S. Answer the test by clicking here. I would be happy to hear the your results so if it’s possible, please leave a comment on this post about your Blogging Personality. Thanks!

MATHira MATHibay

Hindi talaga kinaya. Ginawa ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya pero bumigay din ang ambisyon at pangarap ko nang makita ko ang test questions. Noong oras na iyon, parang pinagsisihan ko kung bakit pa ako nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na kumuha ng application form para sumali sa patimpalak. Iiwanan lang din naman pala ako ng lakas na iyon kung kailan ko ito mas kailangan.

Napagdesisyunan kasi naming magkakaklase na sumali sa “MATHira MATHibay Contest” (di ba pangalan pa lang pamatay na?) ng PLM Mathematical Society. Wala lang, napag-isip-sip lang namin na hindi solusyon ang habang buhay na pag-iwas sa Math. Nagpasa kami ng application form nang hindi nalalaman kung gaano kalaking pagkakamali ang nagawa namin.

Dumating nga ang araw ng pakikibaka kaninang umaga. Maaga akong pumasok. Tingin ko kasi susuwertihin ako. Dumaan pa nga ako sa chapel at humingi ng talino at lakas ng loob para matanggap ko kung anuman ang kalalabasan.

Nag-umpisa na nga ang contest. Pagkakita ko sa unang tanong, parang gusto kong punitin ang papel at umuwi na kaagad sa bahay. Ipinalangin ko pa nga noon na sana nananaginip lang ako. Pero hindi pala. MATHapang ko pa ring sinagutan ang mga tanong, ‘yung iba nga nakuha ko ng walang solusyon. In short: hula lang. Bakit ba, kanya-kanyang diskarte lang ‘yan.

Natapos ang eksamin at hinitay ko ang resulta. Tulad ng inaasahan ko, hindi ako nakasama sa Top 10 na maglalaban ulit. Hindi naman ako nalungkot, nanghinayang lang ako sa oras na lumipas. Umuwi na lang kaagad ako at nagpasyang magpahinga. Baka sakaling paggising ko, mukhang tao na ulit ako. Umepekto naman.

P.S. Pagpasensyahan mo na, kaibigan, kung sa Filipino ko sinulat ang akdang ito. Napagtanto ko kasi na hindi lang naman Ingles ang wika sa mundo. Kailangan ko ring hasain ang galing ko sa Filipino. Salamat sa pagtangkilik, mga katoto.

The Return of O2 Jam

The game O2 Jam is the first online music game in the Philippines. It gained much popularity during the year of 2005. I learned how to play this game way, way back to my junior high school days. However, my interest in this game soon faded because of the game Defense of the Ancients (DOTA). The last time I played O2 Jam was probably months ago. But today, I am now announcing the return of my O2 Jam obsession.

It started after my classes. I strolled along the University Activity Canter (UAC) and found a small, gathered crowd. Curiously, I asked a fellow PLMayer what the thing is all about. “Free online game installers,” she replied. Hearing the word free, I quickly directed my steps to the end of the line and waited for my turn to be accommodated. Upon reaching the counter, I found out that there are a total of six kinds of installers and two kinds of posters to be given away but a student must only get one per turn; if he wants to have more, he needs to repeat the same process again. I asked for an O2 Jam installer first. Then I repeated this for a total of eight times. I got six installers (O2 Jam, Audition, RAN Online, CABAL Online, Granado Espada, and Supreme Destiny) and two posters (Granado Espada and Audition).

The moment I got home, I opened my PC and installed O2 Jam. I played afterwards. I took this screen shot for the purpose of displaying it here: 

P.S. Let’s play together! My username/screen name in O2 Jam is robnuguid14. 

Untitled Part II

Happiness seems to be very distant these days. Smiling requires a lot of pure effort, laughing needs more. I feel depressed. Isolation suddenly became my lone friend. These days are vey tough. I managed to survive but…How long?

The truth: I got a low grade in my Midterm Examination in College Algebra. Out of 40 items, the checkmarks totalled 25. This means a grade of 81, a little higher to be considered failed and a lot lower to be considered good. I tried to do my best and break my limitations but apparently, it is not enough. Although I can say that this grade is, at least, a little better than my past grades, it is still not good. I need to have a higher grade to qualify to the course of my choice. And I do not know how I’ll face failure if I didn’t meet the required grade.

It’s still too early to give up, as I always say. But time is running out. Now that the second half of the semester is approaching, I cannot - and hopefully would not - afford to have another low grade. Problems seem to be very inconsiderate. It strikes when you least expect it. But if you at least try to solve it, success may welcome you. There’s no harm in trying. Just keep in mind that not all efforts will be rewarded…

So Confused…

Honestly, I don’t feel good. I realized how fast friendships can be created and destroyed. It only takes a matter of time. Probably, as fast as a blink of an eye.

I don’t know what’s happening. I’m lost - lost in the map that I have voluntarily entered. I’m scared - scared of the boogeyman that I have created. I’m sad - sad of the things that is happening around me. I’m confused.

For now, I realized that friendship is like a glass; if it’s already broken, no matter how hard you try to fix it, it will never be the same again. I hope that in the following days, I’ll once again prove this wrong. I’m hoping.
