Well, my groupmates and I made a dummy (layout screenshots) of our proposed waste exchange system. (Read post about
Waste Exchange System). This term we have to come up with a working prototype and we have to learn about
symfony - a framework of PHP.
The twist? I have to learn symfony all by myself. My professor will leave for a week and he asked us to self-study symfony. When he comes back, we have to work on the project already. It's hard to study symfony all by yourself. When I was in my summer vacation, I tried studying it. But to my dismay, I can't understand it. I don't know if my mind is not that prepared or it's just to hard to understand. I think it's just between the two. The good thing is I have installed it already in my laptop.
This is called cramming! One week to learn a new programming language.. Well, it's really not new because it's still PHP but in a different style.
Oh well, I hope I can squeeze the 24 days tutorial in Symfony into a week. BE OPTIMISTIC, ennah! YOU CAN DO THIS! ~ I do this a lot to boost my esteem. There's nothing impossible. :D

4. The NOT so Talented Mr. Montano - He's very brave to expose such controversial topics.

I was very active in Yahoo Answers for the last two months when an online friend referred me to use mylot instead.
What is Mylot? It is a community in where you can post your questions, queries and problems and at the same time answer questions that you know and can relate to. It is very similar with Yahoo Answers except that you can earn just by posting and answering. You can also earn by referring your friends.
Well, don't expect to earn a lot from this. The more relevant the reply, the more you will earn. It's like a bonus for helping out other people. You can also earn by posting your own discussion.
I really like helping other people in the net. Well, all of us become a newbie before becoming an expert. If you are interested to join, click
here.
Even though I am more active to MyLot, I still use Yahoo Answer.

I want a new look for my blog but I have no time doing some css and photoshop. So I went for the free blogger layouts in the net. What do you think about the new layout?
The previous layout was very simple, white background with a butterfly in the corner. Now, it's more colorful. If I have the time I really want to make a personalized one. But I admit that I am really not that creative to make one. I really suck at photoshop, colors and blending. Yah, I'm a computer science student not a multimedia arts student.
My blog is still underconstruction. The comments were powered by disqus before but I am having a hard time to intergrate it. For now, the comments will be handled by blogger. I also still have to put some widgets.
I'll be fixing my blog as soon as possible.

When I was in my first year in college, I was lucky enough that I had a driver and he had to drive me to and from my school. But due to financial crisis, our car had to go and I was forced to commute.
Because I was not used to commute and I was not familiar with the streets, I commuted by train particularly by MRT (Metro Railway Transit). I just drop off in Magallanes Station and walk from the free shuttle bus that is provided by our school. From my school, I go home in the same route also.
Now, that the oil price is increasing rapidly and that I have to save my allowance, I am now forced to take the bus. Buses here in the Philippines have two types: the ordinary and the airconditioned. I usually take the ordinary to save more. But I have to say that ORDINARY buses are the most unsafe vehicle in the world.
I really got a lot of experiences in ORDINARY Buses. Here are the list of my extra ordinary experiences in ordinary buses.
1. Because ordinary bus drivers drive very fast (as fast as a roller coaster), my head always hit the wooden chair. I think the government should implement seatbelts in the passenger seats of ordinary buses. Hehehe.
2. I had experienced two incidents that the bus driver was very fast that he hit a private car.
3. When I was staring outside of the bus' window, I began to notice small cockroaches (about 30 of them) in the curtains. It was so gross. So whenever I seat in a bus, I don't seat near the window.
4. A guy sitting right next to me tries to take a picture of me secretly with his front cellphone camera. I really don't know why guys try to do that. I experienced this thrice already. As if I won't notice it.
5. When I dropped off the bus, a guy followed me and asks for my name. It was so scary. At first, I thought we just going in the same route but when I was about to cross the street, he tapped my shoulder and asks for my name. I did not give my name but he still insisted and was still following me. I just run away and immediately hailed a tricycle.
6. Someone sits right next to me, asks for my name and my cellphone number. I usually give a different name and a wrong number so that they'll stop asking for it.
Luck for me, I did not experienced being robbed. I've known many people already experienced that so if I were you, you really should be watchful with your environment whenever you are in a bus.
Usually, I take the train in the morning so I won't get late and take the bus in the afternoon when going home.
Well, I have no choice, if I really want to save enough I have to take the bus. I really don't want to depend so much on my parents. As much as possible, I don't want to ask for extra money to them. I really just have to be careful when riding in public transportations, may it be train or buses.

Most of the pictures here are candid pics.
Some are just pretending that it was a "stolen shot". LOL.
These are my blockmates - SSE63. They're really fun to be with.
He's so camera shy so I grab my digicam and pretend that I was tweaking it.
Alphard (the guy that was looking) saw the cam and smiled.
They were all unaware.
