The Road So Far...

I don't know where to start here...
Well, um.. busy as usual..
So busy to even update my blog.
But to sum it up:

Masteral:

1. I've finished chapter 1 2 and 3 of my thesis documentation and now, I'm hopefully waiting for my adviser's approval for thesis defense.
2. DBMS project presentation on the way.

Work:

1. Managed to survive the pressure of our university week.
2. Was able to encode the Midterm Grade 
3. Still managing students for their undergraduate thesis.
4. Preparing class lectures
5. Sunday classes are still there

October 10 - schedule for final examination and the semester ends!
Finally, VACATION is within my grasp!
I can have that joystick again and a decent sleep will not be just a lucky strike.
Come to look at it...that's also 18 more days before our 1st year anniversary!

Geez...there's a change of mood here...(wait...wait)

Mary Grace Barbecho, married for a year.
That's quite a statement....

Day One

Joey and I had a great conversation last night and we came to realize that our relationship is really different from the other couples around. We are unique and we want to stay this way. I love him so much.

More than meets the eye!

DARK OF THE MOON

Wow! Long time, no blog. I miss the sound of my keyboard rushing with my fingers while I type the words that I want to share. I'm so darn busy! 

Luckily, I still managed to watch Transformers: The Dark of the Moon with friends and I was really blown away by the whole movie. Another thing that also excites me while waiting in the line is that I have two of my students who haven't watched Transformers 1 and 2 yet so I had the honor of introducing the whole story to them. 

Geez, those kids are so workaholic, they need a break.

And like me, they're now crazy about it too.

I loved the way the story was aligned to the American history as if it was really true. The movie effects and sound quality are insanely good and for me, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a better actress than Fox. 

So for the verdict, I might say like my sister, its not the best installation of the Transformers movie. Script wise, I love Transformers 2. There are also some idle scenes, less script for Bee and Optimus and I really don't like the fuel thing as blood for the robots.

But still, Michael Bay really did a great job.

Hail to Steven Spielberg too! 

 

The Transformers! More than meets the eye!
Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons!
The Transformers! Robots in disguise!
The Transformers! More than meets the eye!
The Transformers!

Movie Review: Mr. Popper's Penguins

Mr. Popper's Penguins by Jim Carrey.

Facts about penguins:

1.) Certain breeds will spend their whole lives looking for their one mate and once they find them they will never stray even after their mate dies they will spend the rest of their life alone... isn't that sad but sweet.

2.) Penguins search for a special stone all their life and will only give it to their mate. 
3.) Penguins have no natural fear of humans.

Penguins are a good model of example of TRUE, HONEST and FAITHFUL LOVE. How ironic that those animals are able to do it but humans can't. This family movie moved me by heart while watching Mr. Popper (Jim Carrey) wave his career aside to take care of those penguins like his own.

Another thing that touched me is how he made his wife and family whole again through the penguins. It is a good family movie, not as funny and catchy as Ace Ventura and the Truman Show, but sure is a nice movie to watch for. 

New Follower!

Ordinary day.

Checked my blog and tada! 3 followers on my dashboard! I hurriedly checked who's the new guy (hoping someone I don't know) but surprisingly, it's my student Jamaica.

I didn't know that she has a blog too.

I guess, I have more reasons to write now.

Thanks Jam. :)

Confrontation

Why fear confrontation?
Why pretend?
Why avoid solutions?
Why do we seal our lips to speak?

It's a puzzle for me and I wonder.
Why people choose to be silent instead of talking things out.
Why not ask, "Is there any wrong?"
Does humanity lost the sense of being "concern"?

Why fear of hearing what other people think of you?
Are we afraid of being hurt or accept criticism?
Then what will happen to "improvement"?
Will there be an opportunity to "change"?

My shout is heard but I doubt if they understand.  
Silence is what I get and if not, a topic far from what I require.
I fear of being one with the people who do not dare to ask.
Am I the last one to say, "what's going on?"

A June Beginning

June 13 and the battle is on! A new semester awaits and for sure, I'll have to bid goodbye to my late vacation routines and take my battle suit again for another 6 months.

I really hope I'll pass Project Planning. I can't believe that I'm actually taking one of the worst subjects in our MIT curriculum this fast! I'm worried because I do not know if I can make (due to my draining schedule) it and I fear of failing, but I have faith in everything so... the heck! :)


My husband is having a difficult time in Thailand but I'm glad he's pulling himself up. Like me, he doesn't quit easily and by that, I always look up to his strength and will power to go on.

My cousin (the dentist) is  now engaged to his long time girlfriend and I'm excited to see them do their wedding vows at church since I didn't have the chance. I wish them lots of love! I know, they'll make a good family.
