Free GLOBE Shirt

Posted on October 5, 2007 at 19:01 Down the Drain 2 Comments

I’m wearing the GLOBE shirt I got during the Y4iT (Philippine Youth Congress in Information Technology). The question was something like this, “What makes GLOBE unique?” My answer was simply “Lahat posible.” and poof! One free t-shirt. ^_^ It’s quite funny that I’m a SMART user (answers were sent via SMS) yet they still considered me as a winner. Hehe. The design is neat. Many of my friends had something to say about it even though the cloth’s pretty ‘thin’ (as what my classmate JP remarked, “It basically serves as giveaways.”). My ex-roommate told me that it’s nice, my dormmates at the lobby when I arrived this afternoon said that it’s my sponsor (LOL), and Erika had to ask from my classmate where I got it when we had dinner. Fufu..

Our group didn’t finish all of our report in Java. I was actually pissed for some time because it appeared that they never really took into consideration the time allotment. In Geography Sir Fernandez had a summary lecture. I was sleepy the whole duration of the class. Just can’t help it. Hehe. In Bio20 Sir Malecosio did not come to class! Well, not really. It turned out that he was just late, and failed to inform one of us. We immediately escaped the classroom when a PH student checked and found out that he was not in the Faculty Room. (another) Hehe. In CMSC140 Sir Cabunducan discussed more on PHP and MySQL and gave the details of our final exercise. Lastly, our Assembly Programming project’s finally working! Yea! I never thought we’d finish it this early. Without the aid of my partner, I would’ve been stuck on how to extract digits from a 4-digit input until now. All that’s left to do is how to randomize the 4-digit number to be guessed! Our game’s “Mastermind” by the way. Gonna upload it here as soon as it’s already checked.

Funny Online Tests

Ah, laziness and temptation never fails to eat me up. I am supposed to search the Internet for our report in Java tomorrow about Selection. I’m already tired of looking for something that doesn’t even seem to exist. Then I remembered this site HumanForSale.com in which you fill up your details in order for you to know how much you’re worth. At the bottom part, there was a field asking for your score in an IQ Test and this Am-I-Dumb Test. I tried the first one and saw that it was lethal, seriously. You are given some letters and all that’s left for you to do is define a sentence out of it. I actually love doing this kind of thing but not when you’re supposed to do it consecutively a lot of times! Thus, I tried the next one. The questions were really not that hard. I just can’t help but think if the answers are ‘hidden’. You know, being too philosophical. I didn’t take it with full concentration. Here’s my result:

Your Number Correct: 19/25
Average Number Correct: 18.37/25
Percentile: 53.28%
Time Taken: 4:07

You are smarter than 53.28% of the population.

How smart are you?

Neat, eh? Haha. I then abandoned learning “my cost”. I’ll spare it for some other ‘extra’ time.
