Blog Mojo!

Sorry for the previous post. I normally don't write a post as negative as that, but I was carried away. I won't write something like that again. And if it offended you, I'm sorry but I won't delete it.

I have been in Belo for exactly a month now and I can tell by the staff's and my doctors' looks that my face isn't improving very well -- you know, like the usual "Belo Magic". I am thinking of stopping my Belo treatments right after I am done with my Spanish peels. I am set for a series of IPL treatments (for the redness of my face) next year which costs 5,6k per session. I am in doubts if I will go forward to that. I mean, my pimples aren't even gone yet, so how can I make sure that this will work already?

Don't take this as impatience. One month is too short to see visible improvements, as people say. I can wait for the medicines to work (if they will work), I just don't want my parents to spend too much money on my face than they already have. It just makes me feel guilty. Plus, the very pricey treatments and meds do not compensate the very little improvement (if there is any) on my face. I'm 80% sure that the doctors are just biased saying that I'm improving just for me to come back and shell out more money to their business. The other 20%?  I leave it to what I don't know.

RSCE Operations Team

I was part of the ASEAN RSCE (Regional Symposium of Chemical Engineers) last Dec 1-2, 2009 at the Manila Hotel. It was my first time to deal with successful chemical engineers here and abroad. And I must say, Asian English is hard enough to understand. But dang! They are geniuses!! I managed to grab a few pictures taken from Mam Carol's SLR.

Under UST's huge Christmas tree

Seventeen days before Christmas! I remember when I used to count off the days before Christmas. Now it's my sister who's doing it. It makes me feel old! Hehe.

I never saw blue like this.

I used to be optimistic and innocent and the world used to be filled with rainbow and colors in my eyes. But now everything is black and blue.

And I'm scared of what I am becoming.

(1) I have not opened my Bible for months. (2) I have not attended church for 4weeks straight until this Sunday. (3) Yes I attended, but I didn't listen. (4) I don't pray anymore. (5) I cuss a lot. I think I have said the P.I. and the eff word a hundred times this week, loudly and mostly mentally. And knowing that I barely even say shit three years ago defines the huge contrast. (6) Even at church, I didn't even make an effort to smile at people. The people in Belo (Fuck you pimples. I hate you more than anything in this world! I hate you that you have to make my parents depressed and always worried about my face. Die!) are very much nice but I treated them badly. Kill me now.

Yes, I am on the "getting worse" track. But I am not proud of this. Save me. Please.

ChE Week

Being part of the ES for two years, I must say that I am totally new to the Chemical Engineering family. I had no idea that the 3rd year ChE students are the ones always assigned to organize the ChES pageant. And boy, it was so difficult. I was one of the runners -- to Jolis, to Educ Audi, to backstage, to balcony, to backstage, to balcony. What the hell. But all the stress and exhaustion had afforded an exceptional bonding and friendship. Very much worth it. :)

Ophiucus: The Snake Bearer

Our representatives didn't bag any of the awards, but we are very much proud of them. Their creative wears are made from our hard work and dedication. Seeing them walk on stage in their very much presentable costumes is enough for us. Pero next year gagalingan na talaga namin! Now we know! :p

Congratulations to our batch for organizing the pageant. It had lot of technical glitch, but at least the pageant ended gracefully. 3CheB, I really believe that we had contributed a lot to the success of the pageant. So proud of our class! Galing! :)

A decade ago. Back when we still don't regularly brush our teeth and refuse to have an appointment with the dentist so we had to learn the hard way of dental care -- the slow decay of our teeth. Hehe.
