Yea. So at last this new layout and WordPress is online. I had to upload everything ‘outside’ the dorm because the Computer Room was full when I checked it earlier this evening. Furthermore I realized that maybe I cannot access my cPanel in the dorm’s Internet connection since it’s still a “school connection” (it happens that its IP is blocked or something). I was wet when I arrived at the dorm because it was slightly raining when I left the café. I stayed for awhile at the canopied lobby and utilized my Globe UnliTXT. Drat. The signal’s too weak, (why did SMART die? x_x) as well as the pick-up of my unit. So basically, there’s none at all in our room. The APO peeps came and also stayed, waiting for the rain to go.

When I passed the Computer Room, there were no longer laptops using the Internet hubs. Fascinating. I saw Grace An on the telephone and asked if Kristine was in their room. She was asleep so I borrowed her ASUS from Lairy, who was playing. Nyahah. And for some reason, the Internet use tonight is extended until 11. Neat. A personal laptop is something that I really wish. Perhaps the Sony VAIO thingy. When I was in Manila two weeks ago, Joey, my HS classmate, stressed out to me that it’s the latest release of Sony. Or is it? Because this afternoon our teacher in Bio20 brought one but it had a Windows 98 OS. So what does that imply? Whatever, the VAIO sign/logo rocks. I think it won’t do bad if used in tattoos designs. Hehe.

Another Weekend Ahead!

The SoTech group did their report on Bioremediation in Microbiology (Bio20) today. They had a PowerPoint presentation and the pace of their discussion was quite impressive. It was fast but I liked the way it turned out to be. Their slides contained very brief definitions and it appeared that they were well-prepared. After their discussion, they had a little game. In the elimination round, one question was asking for a certain microorganism. Since it was quite difficult, multiple choices were given and upon hearing letter B, one immediately tapped and answered, “Amo na. (That’s it.)” *lol* The BroadComm studs followed. They had a puppet show of some sort using mere drawings held by a stick. It was about a princess that hated microbes because she had a face of one. Haha. She should have gone to Fort Myers cosmetic surgery and got herself fixed. The story was basically about her learning the importance of such organisms in the end. At one point, the princess character ‘flew’ from the actor’s hand due to too much swinging and she (actor) shouted like WTH. It was funny. :0)

In CMSC140 we discussed the difference between Cookies and Sessions. I was uploading pictures at Multiply all along since we were at CL1. Hehe. The presence of a computer in front of everyone had its significance since Sir had us search about what SATAN means (not the Church of Satan!) as well as to see the MySQL examples when we discussed Databases.
