when training makes kalimot…

medyo combination ‘to ng mga kaganapan kanina nung pauwi ako galing UP. unahin ko muna yung training part. currently kasi, nagsasanay ako para sa rubik’s cube competition na medyo malapit na. so kailangang mag-training. kailangan kasi, i have a minimum of two hours training, meaning kailangan ko magmemorize ng mga algorithms at mag-cube (of course). pero kung sumobra, hanggang three hours lang ako pwede. kung hindi, baka magka-injury na naman ako at hindi na naman makasali tulad nung nangyari nung diliman open. ok lang sana na masaktan ako, pero kung dahil dun eh babagal ang oras ko, para san pa’t sumali ako at lumaban? it’s just like going to the war without sufficient arms. well anyway, since almost one hour lang ako nag-training kanina bago ang physics class ko, kailangan ko ulit ng isa pang oras, so habang naghihintay ako ng jeep eh ginawa ko siya. eh saktong pagkakuha ko ng cube eh dumating naman yung jeep so no choice at sa jeep na ako nagsimulang mag-train. syempre, ang mga mata ng mga pasahero eh sakin nakatingin (totoo yun!). then nung nabuo ko yung cube for the second time, tinapik ako ng isang ale na may hawak na aso.

ale: how fast can you solve that? (burger! burger! burger! )

ako: around thirty seconds po

ale: wala pa ngang one second eh (sabay tawa)

ako: (tawa rin ang gago)

then saka naman dumating si loraine, out of nowhere (joke loraine )

ako: ano ginagawa mo rito?

rain: puntang philcoa

ako: ano gagawin mo dun?

rain: para makalimot

sinabi ko kasi sa kanya na gusto ko na makalimot. at nagkwentuhan kami ng sandali tungkol sa “kalimot” thing na yun na bumabagabag sa aking isipan. muhahaha.

wala lang nai-share ko lang.

*moral lesson: ang mayabang, kinakarma. muhahaha :p

who wants to be a millionaire?!?

I missed this game, hahaha. Habang naghahanap ng mga walang kwentang stuff sa PC ko eh nakita ko bigla ang game na “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” na nasa flash animation format. Pero syempre dollars ang papremyo dito, yun nga lang, hanggang imagination na lang yun, muhahaha. Hindi ko matandaan kung saan ko nakuha yung game na ‘to pero ang natatandaan ko lang eh galing siya sa lumang PC namin nung kunin ko ang hard drive nun at ilagay sa PC namin ngayon. Hindi naman makukumpleto ang laro kung walang “helps”, hehehe. It works as in parang nasa game ka talaga. Pero heto ang ilang tips sa paggamit ng “helps”.

50-50 – Super helpful talaga siya, obvious naman na dalawang options na lang ang matitira pag ginamit mo ito. Kung talagang di mo alam ang sagot, mapipilitan ka talaga gamitin ‘to pero I prefer to reserve it sa mas mahihirap pang tanong, especially sa third round.

Call a friend – Nung una, akala ko eh may tatawagan talaga akong friend. Then nung ginamit ko na yun, may lumabas lang na parang dialogue box tapos sasabihin lang niya yung sagot. Medyo doubtful ang mga isasagot sa’yo ng “friend” na tinawagan mo. Sasabihin niya kasi kung ilang percent siyang sure. Pag less than 70%, wag mo nang sundin ang sagot niya, dahil mali yun for sure, muhaha. Sa makatuwid, hindi siya ganun ka-helpful.

Ask the Audience – Favorite ko rin ‘to gamitin, pero may donwside din siya. Minsan, yung second to the highest choice ng audience pala ang tamang sagot. So parang 50-50 rin siya na naging 75-25 dahil sa help ng audience. So beware lang sa paggamit.

Karaniwan, nirereserve ko ang “helps” ko hanggang sa third round. Nagawa ko siya one time and nagamit ko pa ang 50-50 para sa final question. Kaso nagkamali ako, muhahaha.

So there, enjoy niyo na lang game. Heto ang link, small file lang siya.

May mga tanong pala diyan na pulit-ulit, so dapat pag na-encounter niyo na ulit yun, alam niyo na ang sagot, hehehe.

taff ten foods I eat outside the house…

Taff Ten: Ice Cream

*May naaalala ako sa ice cream ah… Anyways, bihira lang kasi dumaan ang dirty ice cream carts dito samin (and the worse case is pag walang dumadaan). Kaya sabi ko sa mga friends ko, pwede na ako mamatay pag nakatikim ako ng dirty ice cream sa UP. Hahaha. Pero nakatikim na ako, ayaw lang ako kunin.

Taff Nain: Isaw

*Fave ko yan nung bata pa ako. Kaya inasam ko rin tikman ang famous isawan sa UP. And natikman ko naman siya. Masarap siya. Wehehe.

Taff Eiht: Nuts

*So far eh peanut, almond at pistachio nuts pa lang ang natitikman ko. (I’m not really sure kung nuts nga ang nabanggit ko, hehehe) I love spicy nuts. Nagaraya, at yung sa tabi-tabing mani, basta maanghang, wehehe.

Taff Seben: Burger

*Hindi dahil sa kung anong dahilan lang kaya ako kumakain ng burger. Pag gutom ako, kumakain ako syempre. Dati yan din ang lunch ko. Personal favorite ko talaga ang cheeseburger pero sinubukan ko rin namang mag-explore ng iba’t ibang burgers.

Taff Six: Siopao

*Yan dati ang lunch ko (yeah, pananghalian) nung isang semester. Masarap siya, lalo na pag galing sa Chowking.

Taff Fayb: Pizza

*Kahit saang pizza parlor, basta pizza game ako. Marami-rami na rin akong natikman na pizza. Wehehe. Pero hindi pa ako nakakakain ng pizza alone. Hahaha. I’ll try sa summer.

Taff Pour: Siomai

*I never imagined kung ano ba ang siomai at akala ko eh related siya sa siopao. In fact, related nga siya. Isa siyang dimsum, or form ng merienda ng mga Chinese. (correct me if I’m wrong) So nung una ko siyang natikman, nagustuhan ko na siyang tikman ulit. Wehehe. Sa Chowking masarap siya, I wonder sa iba.

Taff Tree: Lechong kawali

*I always crave for this. Pano ba naman kasi, tuwing New Year lang ako nakakakain niyan. Muhahaha. Anyway, may isang araw na talagang hinanap ko siya, ang lechong kawali. So umabot talaga ako sa SM North EDSA para lang makakain nun. Hahaha. May pera naman kasi ako nun kaya OK lang. Grabe, sobrang desperado ko talaga makakain niyan. Ang huling kain ko niyan eh nung Pebrero pa. Pero wala akong balak na kumain ng lechong kawali sa mga susunod na araw. Siguro next month :p

Taff Too: Burger Steak

*Binabalik-balikan ko talaga ang burger steak sa Jollibee. Nag-crave din ako jan one time, I can’t remember when, wehehe. Ngayong summer eh yun yung lunch ko kung may pera ako. Pag wala akong pera, eh di wala. Hehehe.

Taff One: French Fries

*Nakow, pwede akong mag-lunch kahit french fries lang ang kinakain ko, basta ba marami, mga isang kilo, hehehe. Kahit saan ako kumain na fastfood, basta may french fries, isasama ko siya sa order ko. Pwede bang pamalit sa bigas ang patatas? Hehehe.

leaving Multiply…

i officially cancelled my Multiply account last Monday.  naisip ko lang yun last week, kaya yun, tinotoo ko na.  may mga bagay kasi ako na naaalala sa Multiply, na di ko na dapat inaalala.  wehehehe.  ayun, so wala na akong Multiply account.  dito ko na lang ibubuhos lahat…

name…

ang name ko, ay pinagsamang names ni lolo (melecio) at lola (judith. kita niyo na? ) pero nagulat ako dahil recently, nakita ko ang name ko sa Wikipedia. opo mga kanguso, sa Wikipedia nga po. pero hindi ako ang gumawa ng sariling post ko sa Wiki. dahil ang name ko, ay isang lugar sa France.

so ang pangalan ko eh parang address, kasi every part of my birth name is a place.

ang name ko, nasa France; ang middle name ko, nasa Spain, isang island; ang surname ko, isang street sa Iloilo, province ng parents ko.
let’s talk about naman the name “ynajatrice”

sa mga di pa nakakaalam, yan ang username ko sa ibang sites. kaya akala ng iba eh babae ako, wehehe.

so pano ko nga ba naisip yang name na yan? i’m actually thinking of my first daughter’s name (in case, wehehe). then sabi ko, ang starting name dapat ay “y”, dahil nasa dulo siya ng alphabet at wala masyado gumagamit nun. then naisip ko yung “yna”. sabi ko, ang ikli naman at hindi unique. then naisip ko yung “yna beatrice”, dahil kay bea saw, yung PBB big winner. then naisip ko, “gusto ko one name lang”. then sinubukan ko silang pagsamahin in a kinky manner. and nabuo nga ang “ynajatrice”. oh di ba, wehehe.

naishare ko lang naman…

stimulus…

first of all, i want to dedicate this post to one of my friends, na laging sinasabi na “bakit pa kasi iniisip yan”. hehehe. sorry ah, natripan ko lang magpost about yung napag-usapan namin kanina sa meebo, YM yun actually.

ang mga ginagawa natin ay dahil sa sa desisyon ng utak natin kung pano tayo magre-react sa mga bagay-bagay sa paligid natin. may mga bagay din tayo na nagagawa na out-of-control ngunit may mga bagay din tayong kaya nating kontrolin. we react on something, unless manhid ka. and as a unique individual, we react differently on a certain situation. siguro may mga magre-react na similar sa iba, pero in general, may variations ang mga reactions na yan. so dun sa statement ng friend ko kanina, “bakit pa kasi iniisip yan?”, may mga bagay na naiisip out-of-nowhere. at may mga bagay na naiisip natin dahil sa mga simpleng bagay na nakikita natin. ito ay ang reaksyon ng katawan natin to a certain stimulus. pag nagutom tayo, we find food. pag nauuhaw, naghahanap tayo ng pwedeng inumin. we tend to cry pag may moment na nakakaiyak. and so on.

can we control these stimulus? at first no, nature kasi nating magreact sa mga bagay-bagay, unless manhid nga tayo. pero, with proper “mental conditioning”, in my opinion, we can overcome those stimuli. siguro yung mga taong ilang beses nang nasaktan sa pag-ibig eh “manhid” na nga sa kakaasa, dahil sanay na nga silang masaktan. si sili king, manhid na rin sa spices na nararamdaman niya sa lalamunan niya. ako? so far, kaya kong i-overcome ang 6 hours na gutom. pero after nun, pig fest na ito. as in kakain ako na parang walang bukas.

nai-share ko lang naman ang mga nasa utak ko ngayon. bored kasi ako. so there, we think because there is something to think. and we react because may stimuli.

bonds…

kung fan kayo ng Naruto, nagkita na sina Naruto at Sasuke. medyo dramatic nga kasi after three years na umalis si sasuke sa Konoha, ngayon lang sila nagkita ulit ni Naruto pati rin si Sakura. ang “bond” ni Naruto at Sasuke ang nagpatibay sa kagustuhan ni Naruto na magkita sila ni Sasuke.

habang pinapanood ko ang episode na yan ng Naruto sa isang internet shop, naisip ko kung ano nga ba talaga ang mas mahalaga: ang “bonds” mo sa mga tao sa nakaraan at kasalukuyan o ang magiging “bonds” mo sa hinaharap.

nung isang araw, nagkita kami ng isang friend ko sa math building. blockmate ko siya bago ako nagshift. at ang isa pang nakakatuwa, classmates kami nung elementary. siguro, isa siya sa mga naging mahalagang “bonds” sa buhay ko nung nasa elementarya pa ako. actually, may isa akong elementary friend na sobrang miss ko na rin. nasa california siya ngayon pero ang huling pagkikita namin eh nung bumisita ulit sila dito sa pilipinas nung first year high school ako. may isang elementary friend din ako na hindi ko man lang nakausap dahil may certain issue between us. di ko man lang nagawan ng closure yun, pero nung third year high school ako, naayos naman ang lahat.

high school bonds… may mga naging close friends din ako nung hogh school pero iba pa rin si bestfriend ko. medyo late na nabuo ang “bond” namin sa isa’t isa pero na-treasure ko naman yun. may mga “bonds” din ako nung high school pero hindi lang naman friendship ang “bonds” sa pagitan ng mga tao. nandiyan ang “hatred bond” ni Sasuke sa kapatid niya. same din nung high school. may mga “hatred bonds” sila sakin. yeah, SILA ang may “hatred bond” SAKIN. i don’t wanna talk about it. baka magkaiyakan.

then my college bonds. actually, kumplikado ang college bonds ko. former clasmmates, blockmates, college friends at kung anu-ano pa. i consider my college bonds as my present and future bonds, not knowing where will that “bond” last.

sa ngayon, malabo. ayon sa iba, mahalaga ang “bonds” mo sa mga unang taong nakilala mo. kahit saan, basta una mo silang nakilala in a certain atmosphere. yung iba naman, ang mahalaga sa kanila ay ang present “bonds” nila. kasi sila nga ang nakakasama sila as of this moment. ayun.

naisip ko lang naman isambulat ito kasi gusto ko lang isipin kung anong bond meron ako sa isang tao. pareho ba kami ng iniisip na klase ng “bond”? kasi kung magkaiba kami ng iniisip, ibig sabihin, magkaiba kami ng pananaw about “bonds”.

medyo mahirap nga talagang intindihin ang salitang “bonds”. kumplikado, pero kung iisipin, ang isang factor lang naman nito ay ang oras. ang oras, lumilipas. lumilipas rin kaya ang “bonds” mo sa isang tao habang lumilipas ang oras o dapat ay nagiging matibay ito?

kwento…

ito yung isa sa mga ginawa kong kwento. sorry kung medyo tuloy-tuloy, hehehe.

It’s almost nine o’clock in the evening and the graduation ball is going to start any moment soon. Chealsey Mae Ocampo, the salutatorian of the class, is getting nervous while waiting for her best friend, Charles Daniel Lopez. “You seem so worried. Any problem?” said Pauleen, one of her friends. “Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just kind of… you know! Excited!” she replied while glimpsing at the crowd. Coming from different schools in their elementary years, Charles and Chealsey became very close in a short span of time. Charles is an outspoken – type of person and likes the subjects Math & Science. On the other hand, Chealsey is a quiet – type of person and loves English very much. Despite of being different, they managed to be as close as they are now. But of course, in any kind of relationship, there are always misunderstandings. There are countless of conflicts that the two of them had undergone but still, their friendship remained intact. Two years ago, Charles didn’t attend Chealsey’s birthday party because he was on a Math contest at that time. “I tried to come but the traveling time was so long that it took me two hours just to be in your party. I’m sorry Chealsey. I hope you understand.” “But you promised me that you will be there!” she said. “I’m your best friend! You are supposed to be there but, where are you at that time?” she exclaimed while tears are slowly flowing from her eyes. “Chealsey, I’m sorry.” Charles uttered. Chealsey stared at his eyes and suddenly, turned her back and left away. It took them almost seven weeks before they conciliate. That was their longest conflict for the record. But the greatest dissention that will challenge their friendship has yet to come. Obviously, it is unusual for a boy and a girl to be as close as best friends. Even the people around them thought that their relationship is not just as best friends but a much deeper one. “Are you uncomfortable?” Charles asked. “On what?” Chealsey replied. “You know, about the rumors about us.” he exclaimed. “Just don’t mind them! They just don’t know what to do in their lives.” She told him with a sour-looking face. Yet, the rumors are still trying to destroy their friendship. As the bad news keep on spreading, Charles’ relationship with Chealsey slowly grows more profound. His feelings for Chealsey are starting to grow until they became juniors. Charles has fallen in love with Chealsey. He tries to deny it though because Chealsey is his best friend. His major secret at that time is kept on bothering him. He doesn’t know whether he will tell it to Chealsey or not. Charles is also afraid of losing Chealsey as his best friend. He can’t decide on what to do but three months after, he finally broke his silence. “It’s been a long time since I have gone in this place. What are we doing here?” Chealsey asked. “And it’s also been a long time since we had a walk together.” Charles answered. “Oh yeah! It’s because we are academically busy in the past weeks. It’s time to relax!” she said. Charles just gave her a smile while walking on the park. He saw a large tree and invited Chealsey to sit under it. They laughed and giggled as they talked about their last week’s school works. After their laughing session, there’s almost a hundred – second silence. Then Charles suddenly said, “Chealsey, ahm, I have to tell you something.” Chealsey looked seriously to him and said, “What is it?” Charles took a deep breath and answered, “For more than two years, we became friends. We shared a lot to each other, our hardships and triumphs, we knew all of that! While our friendship deepens, I’m slowly having special feelings for you. And I think … I had fallen in love with you.” The next day, both of them ignored each other whenever their sights encounter; they’re not in speaking terms. Even at the time that they became seniors, they haven’t spoken any single word to each other. A week before their graduation, Charles received a letter; it was from Chealsey. In the letter, she wants him to be in the graduation ball and try to settle the things and issues about them before bidding a goodbye. Charles has really no intention on attending the ball. But his decision was overruled after reading Chealsey’s letter. On a hurry, he managed to dress up as quickly as possible. It’s three minutes before nine o’clock in the evening; Chealsey is still waiting for Charles to arrive. Then suddenly, two policemen came into the venue. “Are you Miss Chealsey?” one of them asked. “Yes I am. Why?” Chealsey answered. Another police uttered, “We found this letter on your friend’s pocket.” Chealsey looked at it and said, “It’s the letter that I have given Charles! Where is he?” The policeman explained, “Ma’am, we found your friend dead a few meters from here. Some witnesses told us that he was just trying to cross the street and there’s something that he tried to pick up at the middle of the road. That’s why he got hit by a truck. We found the invitation that’s why we got here. I’m sorry ma’am.” The other policeman hurriedly said, “By the way, we found this necklace. Maybe, it was the thing that he tried to pick up that caused the accident.” She looked at the necklace and suddenly, cried continuously. And in her mind, she said, “I had lost my best friend because of love and now, I had lost him forever. I thank You Lord for giving such a person like him. How I wish I have returned his love for me.”
