4 + 1 Years & Counting…

I planned to put up “something” today because it’s been exactly a year since I started using WordPress. Furthermore, it’s now 4 years and 12 days old of blogging for me. ๐Ÿ™‚ But because I just came from mIRC, a seminar-workshop on microcontrollers which was really worth my registration and time, I failed to do so. As a sort of compensation, I’ll simply post my very first post which I fetched from Reminiscences.

My classmate Kharen is celebrating her 16th birthday today. Yey! She celebrated in a bakeshop in our locality and almost all my classmates and me myself attended with nothing else to do – but EAT! Haha! I ate a lot and sweat was really dripping all over my face even though the room was airconditioned that I had to get a tissue to wipe myself. Most of my classmates were really amused and laughing. ๐Ÿ˜›

Reading back old entries and seeing how you’ve grown in terms of writing is something that is fascinating. As for the commemoration of my first year of surviving WordPress, I’ll merely plug my first layout whose screenshot can be found in the About page. “Infinite Fortress” is only my second. I still don’t tend to code WordPress layouts that much as I still find them messy.

I just got all my subjects pre-enlisted for next (which would hopefully be my last) semester. I’m kind of spiced up as our prospectus dictates us with only 16 units — the smallest I’ll be taking since stepping into college. I hope this would be an opportunity for me to get decent sleeps and gain even just a little bit of weight. Osu!

We had our second exam in Computer Architecture today and it was like, “WTF?” I learned of bonus items that our teacher pointed out yesterday when I was already in our classroom with the exam about to start! My roommate who’s my classmate didn’t dare tell me about it. My classmates were then teasing him about it. Hmm, if perfidy is what he wants, then maybe I shouldn’t play against the wind. :pirate: It’s not entirely his fault though, as I declared a personal holiday yesterday by not attending any of my classes. In AI I really did not intend to attend because I was not able to search anything about Wumpus World Agents and that would surely agitate our teacher. Going back further, the reason of me not being able to find something about the said topic was because the night before there was a Victory Party of our academic group Elektrons. I would have been more happier if the disco started earlier and there were more “juice” to drink. I ate a lot that day because it was also the town fiesta. I went to the house of the dorm staff who have visitors from the dorm every year.

Back to school rambling. In World Literature we didn’t finishing discussing the drama “The Cherry Orchard” yet. Our teacher asked some of us to stand and read lines from the story and he included me on the list. He spoke out loud lines that suggest action such as (Kisses her) for me. ๐Ÿ˜†

Sir: Ano ang drama ni Anya sa Cherry Orchard nga ‘ni? (What’s Anya’s sentiment in this Cherry Orchard?)
Classmate: Sir, tulog si Anya. (Sir, she was asleep that time.)
Sir: Ah huo, kinapoy ang buangit. (Ah yes, the silly girl got tired.)

Our teacher sounded as if he knows the character Anya in person. :laugh:
