drop it like its hot.
it has been a while since i last visited this site. so its that fast eh.
------------------
i am supposed to have a class right at this very moment. but i dropped it. and my first subject to be.
im already a junior student in the school i go to. and on that three years, five semesters and one summer semester, i fulfilled all my course requirements, passed, though not exactly with flying colors and avoided those three letters in my transcript. but not until this sem.
i dropped my electrodynamic theory subject for this semester. for reasons that i EPICALLY FAILED the first exam, havent passed a single problem set since then and i cant risk a failing grade because of my scholarship. These might be what you call rational reasons, and for me, they are. but actually, at the start of the sem, im already convinced that i might have to drop the course along the way.
i dont know. maybe that single thought pushed me in giving life to the letters DRP in my records. since i already have a choice of a failsafe plan even before, it doesnt matter if i do well or otherwise, i still have the choice of dropping. i think i actually didnt put much effort in this one. i dont know. or the topic is really hard. or its a professor matter since our prof is a known name to many as terror. but most stories are mostly exaggerated, as i found out.
well, im already in this habit of rationalizing with myself on things like this. but now, i dont know, im a little sad. no, not sad. maybe hate? i hate it that i had to resort to such measures? yeah. maybe that.
even though i already have a blue slip, passed it already to my professor and missed this day's lecture, i intend this little blue slip, to be my last. :]

got sleep?
i really miss sleeping. i mean sleeping, sleeping-for-eight-hours-during-schooldays sleeping. for the past few months, ive only been sleeping for about five hours during schooldays. from about 12mn to 5am. always. or rather almost always.
im a guy who can easily adapt to some changes. some because i dont like changes. see my point? but really. that five-hour sleep is actually what im used to. and im so used to it that there are some bizarre things that happened to me beacuse of that. for once, there was one time when i slept at about 11.30pm, only thirty minutes earlier than the usual. i think its normal to think that when you sleep early, youll wake up early, right? but no. i woke up at 6.30am. an hour and a half late. damn. i missed my first class because of that. but thats not over. when i actually slept at about 1am, i woke up at, get this, 5am! whut! when i sleep early, i wake up late. and when i sleep late, i wake up early. kinda disadvantageous right.
still. i still have some other personal 'bedtime' stories.
there was one time when i kind of experimented what beverage would keep me awake for those nights of cramming and studying. wait. maybe just cramming, im not sure anymore. haha. but anyway, i tried a brand of powdered energy drink and of course, the usual coffee. i tried first the energy drink. yes it did keep me awake. too awake that when i actually wanted to sleep, i cant. even though it served its purpose, i never tried energy drinks again. its got a weird taste in it. its not actually bad but im not a fan of it. plus, im not into most chemical-based things. so then, i crossed that off the list.
then i tried the coffee. before, i do drink coffee during late nights but i observed that instead of keeping me awake, it actually made me sleepy. i dont know why but it did. it was supposed to be a stimulant. so i devised a way to determine it for real. for a whole week, i gulped big mugs of coffee while studying at night. and then i observed myself. true to the point, it kinda kept me awake. but not like the energy drink. i can sleep without much blabber while on coffee. but then again, i think what happened was just placebo effect cos when i drink coffee in the day, i still doze off. so i scrapped the idea. but the weird thing didnt happen until the next week. the week after, since im done with that little endeavour of mine wiht coffee, i stopped drinking during nighttime. but lo! when i tried to sleep, i cant. i just cant. i didnt know why but when i gulped a mug of those grounded arabica bean-based drink, i was off to dreamland in a few. whut!?! what happened you say?
what happened was that during that week of gulping mugs of coffee, my body took it as a sign its sleep time. my body got used to it that for better part of two weeks, i need to drink coffee just to sleep. unfair. and the thing is its just for a week and the drink-before-you-sleep lasted for about two weeks!
im telling you, im someone with some weird sleeping habits.
well, since then, i havent produced yet another brainchild experiment regarding my sleep. ive been fairly normal, if you call a five-hour sleep fairly normal. but then again, from where i study, that long already is. haha.

Really now?
haha. I never thought this blog is still posted on the net. i remember that i didnt delete this one. haha. this is proof that i tried blogging at least once in my life.
------------
its been what? 2 years? since i last visited this site. i never expected it to be still up and running at all. this is a blog i put up when i was still a freshman. just look at the date. and the content? please. i was laughing as i read them again. so i found out that for some time, i did do things that i hate now. like using text language. and of course, not many people knew they existed before, my dual personality days. haha.
jess and jigezi were two personalities i played with sometime after high school. i dont know what exactly prompted me to make them. yes, they werent really real personalities of mine but maybe a way to say something without really putting me on the scene. and yes again, im a sane man. just in case youre thinking otherwise. the two of them really have two different personalities. jess is the bully one and jigezi, the bullied one. they kinda complement each other, or so i think. maybe add them up and you have me, bully and bullied at the same time. and the names? the first guy's name is a part of my legal name so no questions about that. the other one? kinda weird isnt it? its actually a wordplay of my name back in high school.
but of course, if you know me now, you wouldnt have guessed i had them. and hey, everyone suffers from this type of crisis sometime in their life. so just leave me with this , okay? haha. right now, there is only one me. but of course, i was suffering then from a rough patch so i dont know, maybe theyll sprung out again sometime. maybe.
--------
i didnt actually intend to blog again so this first re-post is kinda contradictory. i looked up this site again so that i could make some comments on the blogs of people i read. it sucks to not being able to comment on their thoughts.
but then again, maybe ill post something here every now and then. music? one-liners? i dont know. maybe some online comics? i do read Cyanide and Happiness comics. and some phd comics and xkcd in between. i think if i feel like putting something here, then i will.
heck, ill just burn this bridge when im on it.
-----------
and oh, by the way feel free to make comments on all things i wrote before. im not erasing them cos i think its kinda interesting to think about how i changed from then to now. tho im not sure if comments are already enabled. im still in the dark here. after what? 2 years?
