Happy Halloween!
  It's that time of year again...a time for teeth-rotting, unnecessary decorating, and very promiscuous costumes (for some at least)... I for one will be saving my celebration for Friday night, since class still is at 8 in the morning... All I have to say is come Saturday, it's on!

Hell froze over...iTunes for Windows
Is it bad when your "beverage" actually tastes and feels like one of those melted choc-oranges that you smash against a wall and turn into wedges which are consequently eaten by the guests you are entertaining? Well for $3.29, I must say it was definitely money well spent! For some even better news, I can't receive any email on the only address that really matters. Who really needs to know when office hours, exam dates and meetings are anyway? Any previous claims by myself stating that caffiene has no adverse effect on my alertness have all been lies. I'm finally yawning, which is a good thing, so maybe this is a sign to sleep...however it is just too hard to ignore the eternal struggle that is my roommate and his Rubik's cube...someday he will be able to relax for a couple of minutes before bed, then fall asleep with the satisfaction of success...but until then, time keeps ticking...

How "sensitive" is f(x,y) to dz/dt?
Christ it's been a long time since I updated this thing...here is a little summary of what has happened over that period of time: - umm I went to college? - I found out how much more work 17 credits is compared to 16 - a bunch of insignificant randomness that happens in a span of almost 2 months Currently I am relaxing for the first time all day...have a midterm I've been cramming for, have reports due Friday that I haven't started... - the roommate is asleep...I think he's dying of a persistent cough - my room is a mess of clothing, papers, garbage, and semi-clean dishes, one of which I stole from the cafeteria My cordless mouse just died, and my keyboard is about to follow, so... I'm gonna make like a tree...and GO! Current Mood: confidentCurrent Music: A Song For Mama | | Tuesday, August 12th, 2003 | | 10:57 pm |
Yeah I lied
I didn't think I could laugh after the tragedy, but all it takes is stupid Quizilla and the wonderful entertainment it brings :)  Power Rangers Movie! What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!) brought to you by QuizillaI have no remorse for mooching anymore... Is it weird that the description kind of fits me? - Corney (yes) - Live off big events (prolly not) - Long time to make good friends (that hurts man) - The ones I have are golden (no doubt about that) So maybe I am like a Power Ranger (you know, living the average life and having a robotic animal assoiciated with my underlying animalistic behavior), or maybe I just need some sleep...here's to the former Current Music: Fuel - Bad Day | | 10:18 pm |
No me gusta los boligrafos
Here's the good news...this coming weekend will be the culmination of all the fun I had all summer with my friends... Of course that can't be the only thing happening, though... I feel like this last week being home will be kind of weird...I don't know if I can explain why, but somehow I just have a feeling it won't be what I expected it to be... So lucky Ron gets to buy new pairs of jeans because he let a pen go through the wash and stain the three pairs he wears most often...no words (that are school-appropriate at least) can describe my frustration at this point This is the only thing that brought a smile to my face (keep in mind I usually try not to mooch off of other people's journals for content, but in this case it just HAD to be done)  You are a Playboy.

I need new...everything
It figures that the summer I make a lot of money that I want to save, that seemingly everything break that is expensive - Monitor is dead - Mouse is dead - Keyboard is abused (too much DDR) - New clothes are in order - I could use some sunglasses I wish I had horrible taste, or no cash at all...then I wouldn't even consider buying nice and expensive things, but no...I have to have the ability to buy whatever I want...stupid job...I'm not even doing work anymore...oh well Current Mood:  bouncyCurrent Music: Kelly Clarkson - Miss Independent (yeah for rock and bowl!) | | Wednesday, July 30th, 2003 | | 10:55 pm |
Ronald is the #2742 most common female name
(gracias al mary grace para esta conexión) Random facts: - There were 4 Ron's at work before I started working there...now there are 4 - I was almost named Kevin - Contrary to the subject field, I am not a girl (apparently I have the #21 most common male name, but who cares about that anyway?) Dysangco is a very rare last name. Very few last names in the US are Dysangco. Be proud of your unique last name! source namestatistics.comI would have been really ticked if this wasn't rare. I mean seriously, it didn't even exist until someone decided to create a random combination of Chinese last names and an abbreviation (sure I don't know if this really is true, but it's a good story to convince people of) If your name didn't rank where you wanted it to, or you just need a new handle, check out NicknaminatorCongratulations! On the court, you'll be known as: Ronnie a.k.a "D-Guy" D With your Cat-like Grace and your patented Crossover Dribble, no one can front on your shot callin' skills. (You can take these unnecessary diversions from the realy world as a sign that life is kind of boring right now) Current Mood: bouncyCurrent Music: Dashboard Confessional - A Plain Morning | | Monday, July 28th, 2003 | | 10:05 pm |
A dork is a whale's dick
The above is what I learned at work today. With 3 1/2 weeks of work left, I really think the sky is the limit in terms of what I can learn before I go back to school. To say that I'm looking forward to going back would be an understatement. It doesn't take much now to get me thinking of all the stuff I want to do this year. But when you're relaxing with family and friends, it takes a lot to stray away from the moment. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I hate dollar stores
Just a quick little note for you all...there is such thing as bad SPAM (yes there is good SPAM)...apparently "Packed Luncheon Meat" is just another way to say cheap dollar store imitation SPAM...how it can be "imitation" is really beyond me, but trust me, it just isn't the same You might have some questions for me as a result - SPAM? (Not a question) - You eat SPAM? (A question, but a dumb one) - You shop at the dollar store? (correction: I DID (PAST TENSE) shop there...not ever now) - You shop for SPAM at the dollar store (see above) If there is anything else, please don't hesitate to ask...otherwise go make yourself a nice SPAM sandwich to get you ready for bed...that's what I did!

???
"If you're 31 and she's 13, there's something wrong...unless she's your daughter" I don't care if it is out of context, I don't care if it was misinterpreted, I don't care at all...just the fact that these words came out of someone's mouth really sickens the soul...oh well...just the fact that this only came about because people were talking about a bar fight that they were in (basically referring to some dude they met) makes it not ok, but more understandable Current Mood:  tiredCurrent Music: I give up | | Monday, July 14th, 2003 | | 10:34 pm |
For shame
Let's keep this short and sweet...Amish girls buying booze? Rednecks acting civilized? (well if by civilized you mean riding in a shopping cart not in the seat but under it where dog food usually goes)...for once, I was happy taking a trip to Wal-Mart :) Current Music: Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles | | Sunday, July 13th, 2003 | | 10:06 pm |
At least I'm better then Drew Henson
3 games 4-9, double, 2 runs, RBI, 1 error, K, and one Webgem (unfortunately I wasn't the one who made the play) I really think baseball is one of those sports that you can completely suck at but still enjoy playing...lucky for me because I suck :) Tomorrow is the beginning of 10-hour work days which means I get to wake up at 5 in the morning...I'm definitely not complaining (after all it is overtime), but when you've been getting 6 hours of sleep for work, something definitely needs to change...hopefully I'll get used to this sleeping early thing because once classes start, I'm gonna need it | | 1:42 am |
Elvis is a Filipino
-Parking: $5 -PAASM dues: $10 -Seeing my parents rip up the dance floor: Priceless No word can really describe the atmosphere at Filipino picnics...amdist all the food and "relatives" you never knew, the best part by far is seeing how people interact...rarely are their opportunities when you are so ashamed and proud at the same time...when Dad is leading the Locomotion train and Mom is doing the Chicken Dance, I can't help but knod my head in shame, but at the same time be happy that they're having fun I've never eaten so much good food (or drank such good iced tea and thick coffee) in a single day...all that not to mention I got to enjoy a concert given by the Philippine's Elvis (pretty darn good if you ask me)...and you thought you had a good Saturday night Current Mood: contemplativeCurrent Music: Elvis Presley - The Wonder of You | | Saturday, July 12th, 2003 | | 12:36 am |
Cinnabons taste good
Effective immediately, I will be required to work 50 hours a week...this means I lose half my Saturday, or come in at 6 and stay til 5...we shall see. I should finally have a functioning cell phone for the rest of my contract (which is a definitely a good thing)...however, I have found a new catch in cell phone ownership: accessories...unnecessary, yes, but cool nonetheless...in the near future I will be getting a leather case (practical) and a desktop charger (basically the ac adapter plugs into this thing that I can put my phone on...aesthetic extension cord if you will....horribly useless but I will get one) I'm gonna be gone all Saturday so it will be nice to have a relaxing, baseball-filled Sunday...nothing like the national pastime with friends and food...I'll be sure to knock out a dancing sausage or two Current Mood: mellowCurrent Music: John Mayer - Quiet | | Thursday, July 10th, 2003 | | 11:14 pm |
MTV does quality programming (yeah so does FOX)
I decided to tune it to MTV's "True Life: I'm a High School Senior" really because there was a lack of anything else to do tonight (passed on the movies to clean...yes I'm crazy, but all my friends know me well enough to expect that) Seeing some random girl go through her senior year brought a lot to my mind...it's amazing looking back on what was about 2 years ago and seeing how much has changed (and how much hasn't) College did a good number on my mind, both good and bad...there are a lot of things I will remember, and some things that I'd like to forget as well...regrets, yes and no (thankfull more towards no) The weirdest thing is observing my own transformation from school to home...I feel like that relationships with people were kind of in two states, and now that I'm home, they've reverted back to "home" status What am I trying to say here? I'm still trying to figure that one out...but for right now we'll leave it at this: -After a year away from home I've learned alot about my family, but somehow I still take it upon myself to come across..well dumb -It's rough when people expect you to be something all the time...pleasing everyone is no easy task as I have (and stil am) learning...yet somehow when things suck I slap on the happy face and go about my business...that's life for ya. -Why do I always end up saying the wrong thing at the wrong time to the one person I shouldn't do it to? Well of course it's to make me feel guilty and to just show that even if I come across to everyone as one thing, I'm really just the opposite fooling everyone (at least that's the feeling I get after hearing what he/she has to say....mostly she) -I can't wait to meet new people and make new friends up at school, and I can't wait to see the ones I've already made, but when it comes down to it, don't be stupid and take for granted what you already have because those are the things you will never forget...sure they say college will be the best 4 years of your life, but I'll take that 1 year at a time...4 years of high school was pretty damn good on a less serious note: After watching the special, I still don't have any big regrets about not going to prom, except maybe missing a night with friends...but hey that happened a lot over 4 years...it's kinda weird that the person people wanted me to go with went the next year...with the other filipino (definitely not as sexy) Current Mood: frustratedCurrent Music: Rhazel - If Your Mother Only Knew | | Wednesday, July 9th, 2003 | | 11:23 pm |
Amy's a whore!
It's no longer hearsay and conjecture, but pure non-fictional truth :) Anyway, I was having a pretty good day...note the word "was" - Work went by quickly and I was productive and motivated - Got next Thursday and Friday off to chill in Chi-town - Ate a really good dinner (quicker than I wanted to because Ryan wanted to play tennis) Everything was going great until the rug shampooer decided to discharge it's contents...the cleaning solution I didn't mind, but the dirty, brown water and dust was a bit much, especially when it covered me from head to toe...well at least I bowled well tonight... I was 6 pins from 200, and I bowled a 128....you figure it out cuz I'm tired (and slightly aggravated) Current Mood: rejuvenatedCurrent Music: Kelly Clarkson - Miss Independent (thank you bowling alley) | | Tuesday, July 8th, 2003 | | 10:49 pm |
Give me enough Badger, and I can heal the cracks in the Grand Canyon
I was really looking forward to starting this journal entry by going off on the rednecks that work at Autozone (which happens to be right across the street from Advance Auto Parts...honestly, that just isn't necessary), but my anger has subsided (slightly) because my car no longer sounds like cricket chirping and nails on a chalkboard. For the low price of 11.79 (not including the 5 other returns and exchanges necessary to get the right size), I am the proud new owner of a serpyntyne AC belt. I'm sure VISA will have a hell of a time sorting out what I actually did buy (if I drove to the store 6 times only to be charged more than once, someone's gonna pay). Now the car is good for another 138000 miles...I swear. Now it's time for the daily "I want to punch you in the face" list*: *May not occur every day - Guys with really stupid laughs that laugh at their own jokes - Rednecks at AutoZone (ok, maybe my anger hasn't quite left the system) Stay tuned for tomorrow's edition which may also include that one guy...also, an in-depth analysis of my first department meeting at work (can we say Eng100 all over again?) Current Mood: hopefulCurrent Music: MC Hammer - You Can't Touch This | | Monday, July 7th, 2003 | | 10:31 pm |
Contrary to popular belief, the following things are in fact false: -Get at least 8 hours of sleep or you will be tired throughout the day (Never mind that I've been getting 6 or less pretty much ever since I started working)... -Breakfast is the most important meal of the day Why does this make any sense at all? Well let's consider my day: I decided to sleep after midnight again (I blame AIM for everything) and proceed to wake up at least 5 times throughout the night, with each awakening progressively closer to the target time of getting out of bed...it really sucks waking up at 3 am, then 4 am, then 4:15 and so on, even if I know I still get more sleep. I felt pretty refreshed and actually had time to eat breakfast this morning, so I did...half an hour into work, I was starving, so I ate the grossest granola bar ever and proceeded to not enjoy it. On a much better note, it's great to see some people I actually know working at BOTG...it gives me some incentive to not sleep through break...I can probably hook'em up phat too with donuts. Side track: Today's thunderstorm was probably the most intense I've been around since the fabled "storm" I was a part of during Blue Lake...for those of you who are confused, it's basically "band camp" (think American Pie 2)...we were enjoying (well at least the people who were awake) a nice concert band number by the counselors when severe weather hit...panic ensued despite encouragement from camp officials to "stay calm"...they tried to release us in an orderly manner, but it ended up being a mad dash in pitch black darkness and torrential rain back to the cabins...right when I was approaching the camp area, the loudest thunder I've ever heard coupled with lightning that brightened the sky hit the campground, and it was absolute chaos from then on Now that I think about it, there was another cool storm at real band camp junior year...let's just say I distinctly remember running in puddles about a foot deep...something about band and rain I guess. For the first time in many years, I'm using a mouse with a ball inside...I think I officially hate Microsoft because it makes crappy hardware (even if the mouse did last many good years)..oh well, I think it's time to spoil myself...can we say wireless? My bid to learn HTML is probably gonna hit a major setback when I start making my webpage with Dreamweaver...instead, I'm trying to learn-before-I-learn Physics 240...call me crazy, or just call me and save me from these stupid undertakings (oh wait, my cell phone is broken again...first the battery, now it might be the charger or the phone itself...as you might imagine, I'm a little less than pleased) Current Mood:  embarrassedCurrent Music: 2 Live Crew - Too Much Booty In the Pants | | Sunday, July 6th, 2003 | | 11:22 pm |
I did all that in 3 days?
Well it's the end of another weekend, but let's just say it was far from typical...some highlights for you: -Proved once again that I do more work around the house than any of my friends, ever -Contrary to popular belief, the people who hang out in parking lots of fast food restaurants are in actuality cool (actually that's a dirty, dirty lie) -Tennis is fun until storms and lightning come into play -Being exposed to 3 hours of extreme sunlight is not good for your health -Fireworks never get old -It's a bad idea to mouth rap lyrics in front of your parents and their friends, especially when the topic is not kosher -Did I mention heat exposure gives you massive headaches? -Amish cook some of the best food in the world -If your car makes loud noises, suprisingly people don't want to ride in it -Playing guitar always gets chics, even if you don't know a song -There are cool people at the "other" school in Michigan -I am not as flexible as I once was...all it takes is a dancer beating me at limbo to determine that -Cheez-Its just don't taste as good when they are all soggy (wonder why they were so wet?) -Techno is cool, but early 90's club stuff is much better (2 Unlimited kicks my butt) -Never, never, never ever let me or Al use your camera...you're asking for trouble -Some people should never take off their shorts....EVER -People try too hard to get what they want...all you really gotta do is sit back, relax, and let it come to you (it really helps if you're a sexy Filipino or someone that can get along with everyone...people seem to be a lot nicer and more generous than normal) -Trying to rely on 5 hours of sleep to get you through the day is pure stupidity -My cell phone broke, again...kinda -My mouse died...I think it's time to go Wireless Keyboard and Mouse style -Why am I up this late when work is in 7 hours? Current Mood: contemplativeCurrent Music: anything I danced to Saturday night |
